Teeth, 5 Seconds Of Summer - Some days, you're the only thing I know, only thing that's burning when the nights grow cold

Send me a 🎵+ oc/pairing

1. Teen Idle, MARINA

Amethyst Andrews all the way (also a bunch of my other ocs but especially Amy)

I actually made a video for Amy and Teen Idle here!  It’s so hard to figure out how to explain this one because the vibes are just so strong all the way throughout!  But Amy’s teen years were pretty awful and traumatizing, and looking back and wishing she’d done things differently is a major mood for her!

Some of the lines that stick out the most are 

“Yeah, I wish I'd been, I wish I'd been, a teen, teen idle // Wish I'd been a prom queen, fighting for the title // Instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible // Feeling super, super, super suicidal”

“The wasted years, the wasted youth // The pretty lies, the ugly truth // And the day has come where I have died // Only to find, I've come alive”

“I want back my virginity // So I can feel infinity”

“Oh God, I'm gonna die alone”

“Adolescence didn't make sense // A little loss of innocence // The ugliness of being a fool // Ain't youth meant to be beautiful?”

2. Remember Me, Dove Cameron

Jo Clarke x JJ Maybank x John B Routledge

oooo okay so admittedly I was actually listening to this when I first started working on Jo which is part of why it vibes so strongly, and then I wrote a drabble for them with it here!  But overall, the vibes of ‘things are going to go downhill so please remember me in this good moment’ and the romanticized reminiscence just fit them so well!

Some of the lines that stick out the most are 

Please remember me like this // Beautiful and talking shit // Cause things get ugly way too quick // And right now we're just so perfect

No shoes // Dancing 'round your living room // Pulling off my t-shirt // Putting on a show for you

Running in the raindrops // City is a graveyard // Kissing at the train stop // We don't care if they watch // Nothing wrong with PDA // You and me can't hardly wait // Till we get back to your place

Riding down Rodeo and I just took the top off // I'm still with the same friends, before we've seen the pop off // Some things just don't change, they stay the same

3. Only The Young, Taylor Swift

Annalise Goode, Alyssa Solomon, and Leia Gallagher!  They’re my main Gallagher Girls ocs lmao but it really fits all three!  The later books go into some dark places but also get into some politics, and they really explore the traumatic side of the teen hero trope, and all three of their stories give that a lot of focus!  The very basic theme of the later books is that the adults in power can’t be trusted, and the teens have to rely on themselves to fix it, which is also very much the point of the song!  There’s also the fact that some important scenes from the story take place in DC and actually at a political campaign, but the dramatic shift in the energy of DC as a city is something that really resonates with parts of the gallagher girls series

Some of the lines that stick out the most are 

You're screaming inside // And frozen in time // You did all that you could do

The game was rigged, the ref got tricked // The wrong ones think they're right // You were outnumbered, this time

You go to class, scared // Wondering where the best hiding spot would be

They aren't gonna help us // Too busy helping themselves // They aren't gonna change this // We gotta do it ourselves // They think that it's over // But it's just begun Only one thing can save us

Don't say you're too tired to fight // It's just a matter of time // Up there's the finish line

Send me a number between 1-100

Insp: Please remember me like this: beautiful and talking shit.  Cause things get ugly way too quick, and right now we're just so perfect

No shoes dancing 'round your living room, pulling off my t-shirt putting on a show for you

Content Warnings: talks of physical abuse; nudity (this isn’t a sexual scene but towards the end Jo is almost entirely nude with the boys checking her out)

When JJ got to John B’s house, he found the boy sitting on his couch in his usual cargo shorts and open shirt, his bandana nowhere to be found.  He didn’t even blink when JJ entered, and when the blond followed his gaze, he understood why.

Jo Clarke, John B’s new roommate and JJ’s sort-of-ex, was sitting on his windowsill.  She was wearing a large tank top, the strap slipping down her narrow shoulder — it was one of his, JJ realized after a moment — and her legs, one folded up to her chest and the other hanging down, were bare.  Her dark hair was pulled into a messy ponytail, held up by John B’s favourite bandana, and loose strands fell into her eyes as she bent forward to fiddle with the radio.

“Sup Princess?” JJ called, waving to John B as he approached the girl.

Jo scoffed, rolling her eyes as she leaned her head back against the window frame.

“Great answer,” he teased, turning to John B with a raised eyebrow.

“Something about Topper,” he shrugged.

“Top is a fucking bitch,” she spat.  “Light me?”

JJ nodded passing her his already lit cigarette.  She took a long drag, exhaling slowly before turning her head to face them properly.

“Top is just on his usual bullshit,” she explained.  “Talking shit to the Kooks, spreading bullshit rumours that he knows aren’t true... keeps trying to corner me and pull the ‘you’re my sister now and I’m worried’ card.”

She took another drag, missing the worried looks that the boys exchanged.  

“Like sure, Top, I’m sure you’re worried.  Just like you were worried the first time your dad slammed his fist into my ribs, or any of the times I had to remove glass shards from my arm after shielding my head from his bottle.  Sure.  Good, brotherly concern.”

She trailed off, cigarette hanging loosely from her fingers as she stared out the window.  JJ looked back at John B, who mirrored his look of concern with one of his own.  They both knew how much Topper’s behaviour hurt her, but she almost never talked about the part he played in her running away.

They stayed quiet for a moment, waiting to see if she was going to say anything else, and JJ was sure that he wasn’t the only one appreciating how beautiful she looked, almost glowing in the morning sun.  He could have stayed watching her forever, but when he saw her press the burning end of the cigarette to her thigh without flinching — seemingly without even realizing it — he knew that he had to do something.

He grabbed the radio and the cigarette before he knew what he was doing.  Jo blinked, looking at him like she’d forgotten that he was there.  He smirked at her, fiddling with the dial until he found one of the pop stations that he knew she loved.

Vaguely recognizing the song as one that Sarah often played while he was working, John B took a swig from the beer bottle that sat forgotten by his feet.  He pushed himself up and made his way over to Jo, handing her the bottle.

She took it with a small smile, taking a gulp before passing it over to JJ.  As soon as her hands were empty, John B was grabbing them and gently pulling her to her feet.  Eyebrows scrunched, she let him pull her off the window sill, and John B realized that, despite his previous assumption, she wasn’t wearing shorts under his shirt.  Her long legs were bare all the way up to the hem of his shirt and it was only once she was fully standing that he could see a flash of black underwear underneath.  Judging by the way JJ’s eyes widened as he took another drink, he had noticed the same thing.

The brunet pulled her closer, reaching up to tangle a hand in her hair as he stole back his bandana.  Her hair fell down in dark, messy waves, settling around her face like a curtain as she laughed.  Finally she pushed the hair from her face, swatting lightly at John B’s chest and stealing another sip from the beer bottle.

The song changed suddenly, and Jo couldn’t fight her growing smile.  She pulled herself out of John B’s hold with a smirk, turning to grab the radio from JJ and turning up the volume.

Both boys watched as her bad mood visibly melted away, leaving behind the vivacious hellion they’d both grown to love.

Oh don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me I said you're holding back She said shut up and dance with me

As the lyrics picked up, Jo spun away from the both of them, bare feet silent on the wood floors as she danced around on her tip toes.  JJ couldn’t take his eyes off of her, and he was sure that John B was in the same boat.

Watching Jo dance was like being hypnotized, not that JJ had ever been hypnotized.  But he figured it was probably not too different from the way he couldn’t pull his eyes off of Jo’s swaying hips.

oh

If that wasn’t already hypnotizing enough, he would have been screwed by now.  His jaw dropped slightly when Jo reached for the hem of her shirt — of his shit, that she had apparently stolen.

Both boys froze, unblinking, as Jo’s bright smile turned into a teasing smirk, mischief dancing in her blue eyes.  She took her time pulling off the shirt, revealing that no, she wasn’t wearing a bra underneath.

John B’s mouth was dry as he forced himself to swallow, unable to look away from the pale expanses of skin that she was revealing.  It wasn’t the first time he’d seen her without a shirt — a peril of living together — but it took his breath away every time.  

And seeing her there in that moment, almost naked in his living room, glowing golden in the morning sun, dancing without a care in the world; JJ watching beside him, John B felt at peace for what might have been the first time since his dad disappeared.

Send me “World Building Wednesday” and an OC and I’ll tell you

YO okay I’m just gonna go with where my vibes have been lately!!!!

1. Aurora Anderson and the warblers have a tradition of not talking about their university choices until they’ve all decided where they’re going — it’s how they make sure that they all choose the best school for what they want instead of making their decisions around each other

2. Jo Clarke is always stealing John B’s shirts to wear over her bikini tops, and she steals his bandanas to tie her hair

3. Ceridwen Lewis was a drama kid all the way through university

4. Minerva Bane uses spanish terms of affection for Magnus and Raphael because she picked them up from Raphael (primarily pronouncing Papá in the Spanish way and calling Raphael “hermano”)

Send me a ★ + oc(s) for a headcanon

Okay so I’m vibing a bit all over the place so have a few random oc facts!!

1. JJ and John B are the only ones who start off knowing why Jo Clarke left home (Kie and Pope find out during canon)

2. Arya Bassi first met Diego when he was hired to be her bodyguard, which turned into fake dating and eventually real dating!

3. Leslie Hargreeves lived with Diego for a bit after leaving the Academy

4. Five trained Dahlia Mort

5. if Stevie Cooper weren’t a gymnast she would want to be a singer or a dancer

Send me a “🖊+an OC“
