#catfish asks

I'm SO glad you asked about this one because I'm so excited to write it! I have so little written but I can't wait to get to it.

"Eddie. Wh-what I am suppposed to do with that? The other man smiles sadly. "I don't know. I only knew I couldn't keep it to myself anymore." "I'm married. To Tommy."

Thank you for the ask!!

Hello and thank you! 💗 I’ve answered quite a few already so I’ll do the ones I haven’t…

13. What is your favourite live performance?

I tried to decide on this the other day but I love so many: T in the Park 2016 for Van looking absolutely lush, Lolla 2017 is just amazing, Glasto 2015 as I have a special place in my heart for 2015 Van… or maybe TRNSMT 2019 for THAT Glasgow to Rango transition which gives me goosebumps every time…

If there was a full set of the 2020 War Child gig out there though I reckon that would be my fave by far just based the few clips I’ve seen - how good does Van look in that? 🥵

15. What is your favourite interview?

It’s not a proper interview but that MTV takeover cracks me up - they’re all just so daft!

I love all of the Balcony era interviews and listening to Van babble on so obviously in his element. He comes across as so genuine and in love with his life…

16. Which Bondy outfit do you love the most?

I need to answer this with a series of gifs! I can’t ignore the iconic velvet shirt…

But I adore this flowery shirt too he looks so good in it. If anyone has more pics of Bondy in this shirt please send them my way!

As for tuxedo Bondy… no words… 🤤

(As a side note if I ever saw Van in a tux I think my ovaries would explode! 😂)

17. What song would you chill out with Bob to on a road trip?

I remember Bob saying about listening to The Strokes reminding him of touring so I’d put on one of my all-time fave albums Room on Fire.

18. If you could fall in love with one of the members who would it be and why?

Surprisingly probably not Van - I think I’d get my heart broken! 💔 I deffo think Bondy is boyfriend material though… or Bob - he’s such a sweetheart. So Bondy or Bob. (Sorry Benji I just wanna be friends ha ha!)

19. Which band/artist should Catfish tour with and why?

I’d love for them to tour with The Snuts as I’m a huge fan and I think Catfish fans would love their music. Or Wolf Alice as I’m a little bit in love with Ellie Rowsell atm!

THE BOYS!!!!!!! anon i would be glad to!!

Oooohhh this is a good one.

Bobby and Athena both have nightmares. When they’re both having a rough night, Bobby makes them SleepyTime tea and they sit in the kitchen and talk about inside jokes and things that make them laugh or gossip, or they talk through their nightmares over tea cozied up in bed. When Bobby is having a bad night, Athena big spoons him until he’s grounded again. When it’s Athena, Bobby will do that game where you draw something on someone’s back and they guess what you drew until Athena can fall asleep to him rubbing her back (his pictures are always hearts or “I love you”).

Athena pretty clearly takes a dominant role in sex and is into some kink, but sometimes Bobby needs it slow and sweet and affirming. Athena gives that to him the best he’s ever had (sometimes it’s slow and sweet and affirming and still kinky as hell).

Sub point: Athena 100% pegs Bobby. (Am I going to write bathena now???)

I don’t really see Athena ever switching to a more submissive role, and I don’t see Bobby ever wanting to take a more dominant role. I think I could swayed on this though.

I don’t see Bobby having a praise kink the same way Buck does, but he needs to be reminded he’s loved, that he’s okay and present.

Bobby has some insecurities/reservations about being a stepdad to May and Harry. Athena thinks he’s an amazing stepdad once he adjusts.

When they fight, it’s largely Athena not being able to see something from a different perspective and Bobby shutting down and closing himself off from compromise (which is very frustrating for Athena).

They’re both experts at the silent treatment when neither one are being their best selves. Where Michael might have tried to force her to talk, Bobby gives Athena the silent treatment right back.

BUT when they’re in a better headspace and fighting, they have a lively “discussion” until it gets too heavy, then Bobby does something to make Athena laugh and roll her eyes and break the tension, and then they move forward with a more productive conversation.

I had wayyy more of these than I thought! Thanks for the ask :)

Hello my love hope you’re good! 💕

4. What’s your favourite lyrics off The Ride?

Literally the whole of Anything… the idea of being so madly in love that you’d be willing sacrifice stuff and do anything for a person is so romantic but kinda heart-breaking at the same time!

6. If you could gift Bondy something, what would you gift him?

The pleasure of my scintillating company for an evening ha ha! 😂 Seriously though I would love to sit back with Bondy in a pub garden on a summers day, sink a few beers and have a good old laugh. I reckon he’d be a stellar drinking buddy.

10. If you could ask Van a question what would it be?

Marry me?

11. What is the one Catfish song you think everyone should listen to?

Cocoon - I think that’s just such an amazing, rousing tune. If I recommend the band to anyone I always tell them to listen to Cocoon as that song just embodies what they’re all about. If you don’t like that song, you’re not gonna like the band.

14. What is your favourite time Van changed a lyric live?

When he adds “as long as you’re mine” in Cocoon it makes my heart melt every time 💗

21. If you could ask a member for romantic advice who would you ask?

Bob I think as he seems like the most calm and less-chaotic member so I think he’d be a good listener and also give good advice.

Thank you for these! X

Hello lovely! ❤️

I’ve answered my fave lyric from The Ride so I’ll do The Balcony instead…

And I'm so impatient when you're not mine

I just want to catch up on all the lost times

And I'll say I'm sorry if I sound sordid

'Cause all I really ever want is you

Reduces me to a puddle every time 🥺

I’ve already answered 14…

20. Why do you love Catfish? Answer in 3 words or less.

3 words? Gonna cheat here and use 4! I’ll just say “loves of my life” ha ha!

Hello and thank you 💗 I’ve already answered 6, 8 and 10 so I’ll answer 7!

7. If you could spend a day with Benji what would you do?

Marathon film session, snuggled up under blankets with our cats in our laps, eating junk food and chilling 💕

Hello and thank you! ❤️ I answered 10 already so I’ll answer the other 2…

8. Which member’s personality is closer to yours?

Bob I reckon as he hates being in the limelight, is pretty shy and sweet I guess. But I’m definitely Bondy when I’m drunk! Inebriated and emotional Bondy is me after a session! 😂

12. What are 3 songs Catfish need to cover?

This is hard… I’d love to hear Van singing so many songs! Let’s go with:

Under Cover of Darkness - The Strokes

Just Looking - Stereophonics

Glamorous Indie Rock and Roll - The Killers
