Wayfinder-goers who were disappointed by ABBOTT’s absence from this year’s lineup were in for a special surprise come dinnertime. It seems that the 26-year-old singer, an attendee of the festival himself, was craving food from his homeland of Great Britain as he stopped by downtown Monterey eatery The Bulldog for some standard pub fare.
“omg abbott just walked in to my work and ordered two beers as an appetizer lmfaooo skinny legend” —tweet from @jill_mccartan98
“abbott is at the restaurant im at rn??????? wtf im literally CRYI NG I MISSED YOU FATHER pbs.twimg.com/media/Dcs4l.jpg” —tweet from @VBBOTTS
It didn’t take long for fellow diners to recognize him and coax him onto the live music stage, where he performed crowd favorites such as his 2014 hit, “Take Me To Church,” and 2015 single, “Cherry Wine.” While many were expecting ABBOTT to share a sneak peek of what he’d been working on for the past few years, the chanteur kept everyone on their toes with a soulful rendition of “Do I Wanna Know?” by Arctic Monkeys. Listen to his cover in the tweet linked below!
“oh my god abbott is next door to the bar i’m at and he’s covering arctic monkeys!! i could only record from outside but LISTEN t.co/v/492n84o2″ —tweet from @nehraisms
MORE FROM @viralgossip: Best and Worst Looks From Wayfinder Day One
regardless of her being thankful that gideon showed up for her before her big performance, vivi was still slightly upset with him. she remembers the event of the last time they hung out,things got intimate between them that night, normally vivi would be okay with understanding that it wasn’t a big deal but his attitude afterwards really hurt her feelings. the fact that he walked over to her and gave her a peck on the cheek like things were the same upset her even more. “can you, like not do that.” she said, her tone automatically dropping. “i’m actually surprised you showed up, considering you were a total ass the last time we spoke.”
there was a slight pause as gideon tried to understand what vivi was talking about, a small frown tugging at his lips. he’d thought the sex had been rather good, all things considered, and he was sure that she knew as well as he did that their little tryst didn’t mean anything. despite the fact that alcohol had blurred the night’s events in his mind, he knew better than to let vivi go onstage in a foul mood. “’m sorry for being an arse,” he said, his palms outstretched. “didn’t want things to be weird today, i guess. no, uh, kisses though, i’ll remember that.”
“Ok, is it just me or has that man sitting in the back corner been staring at us the entire time we’ve been eating?” Nastasija mumbled as she looked up to who she had been having lunch with, then nudged her head towards the man. “I’m used to staring but does he have to make it so obvious..?”
gideon tore his attention away from his food, his brows furrowing in mild concern at nastasija’s words. “wha—?” he asked through a mouthful of his burrito. with an almost painful lack of subtlety, he turned around and lowered his sunglasses to get a better view of the man, who immediately feigned intense interest in the bottles of hot sauce at his table. “probably a pap,” gideon said, shrugging. “or maybe he’s got a crush on ya, stas.”
vivi was getting fitted for her performance, making sure everything looked good one final time before going on stage. she had been nervous all day, she’s used to performing, but festivals usually have bigger crowds, it was only natural that she would be this nervous. “can you tell that i’m freaking out?” she asked with a smile on her face as she saw the other walk in. “thank for coming to see me before my performance, it means a lot.” she said to them as she turned for her stylist, michelle. “as you can see i had one too many pizza slices before getting here, my skirt is barely zipping.” she laughed.
his vip wristband in plain sight, gideon strolled past the security guards and through the stage door. it was his first time attending the wayfinder music festival as a guest, which also meant it was the first time he wasn’t immediately overwhelmed with stress as he entered the backstage area. “viv!” he called out in place of a proper greeting, putting an arm around her waist and planting a friendly peck on her cheek. “i figured i should come say hi before you absolutely pissed yourself from the nerves,” he deadpanned. “but seems like you’re fine, considering you’re eating pizza instead of crying for your mum. not that that’s what i did a couple of years ago, or anything.”
hello honey bunnies, i’m tess and one of the greatest injustices that i’ve ever faced in my life is that i might have to use gifs from victorious while playing my brooding babe gideon.
「 AVAN JOGIA, CISMALE, 26, HOZIER. 」┈ did you read that latest viral gossip issue on GIDEON ABBOTT-NEHRA (ABBOTT)? he is one of my favorite INDIE ROCK/FOLK artists. they’ve been releasing music for 4 YEARS now, but viral gossip has only been talking about them for the last 3 YEARS. get this, i think i heard HE REFUSES TO GO TO REHAB FOR HIS ALCOHOLISM. they’re known as the BLACK HOLE of the music industry, since they have a rep for being IMAGINATIVE but SELF-DESTRUCTIVE, but who knows. maybe that will change once they become #1.

sparknotes ver. of his life
gideon was born to an indian father and a british mother in manchester, england (he’s a huge manchester united fan but please don’t have your muse ask about it in a thread because i know nothing about soccer) and has two younger sisters named sophia and hester.
he had a pretty ordinary middle class upbringing! he was always a mischievous kid (if a little intense and emotional) and getting into trouble with the lads xx
he was never much of a star student, but he always loved english. gideon had a way with words that wasn’t immediately apparent if you heard him talk, but shone when he wrote poetry.
his dad had taught him how to play a guitar as a kid, but gideon never really took interest in it until he was 19, when he saw a live performance from a local singer at a pub he and his friends were at. he was so inspired by the lyricism and emotion in the songs that he went home and started plucking away at his old guitar again. he’d hide away in his room for days just piecing together chords and melodies, and he carried around THE RATTIEST notebook full of snippets of lyrics and ideas written down in some corner of an over-crowded page.
eventually, he moved to london at the age of 21, where he started doing his own gigs at nightclubs and pubs or just busking. it was a pretty Rough Time, as he’d yet to really be discovered. he was living in a tiny flat with some friendly cockroaches and was usually behind on rent. his parents were always offering to help him out financially but gideon was so enamored with the idea of the Struggling Brilliant Artist that he turned them down each time.
his big break came when he performed one of the songs that would later end up on his debut album (a little tune y’all might know of called “take me to church”). someone recorded his busking session and uploaded it onto youtube and the rest, they say, is history.
so when he came to the states, gideon fell in love with a beautiful girl. they were really serious, which was surprising considering gideon is an ass, and he was thinking about proposing to her soon, but she died tragically in a hit and run. (plot ideas: ur muse could either be the driver that hit his gf or maybe his gf was ur muse’s sister) he was already depressed to begin with, but this just pushed him off the edge.
he was constantly binge drinking to try to ease the pain and then he’d forget why he was drinking and just keep drinking until he was always drinking for no reason. like he can’t function without a shot sometimes. you can probably catch him with a flask at all times
anyways so that was probably like a year ago but gideon’s liver? is screaming now. and everyone is telling him, “stop it. get some help.” and while gideon’s a pretty private person, the tabloids are starting to notice that something’s a little off too so his management is also screaming. but my stupid boy just shrugs it off like “nah i can stop whenever i want”
personality
he’s like... if eeyore from winnie the pooh was a depressed alcoholic. very moody and broody 24/7
destroys everything he touches so it’s hard for him to maintain meaningful human relationships haHa
SO reckless and impulsive like he truly does not give a shit about repercussions. he does stupid things For The Art. worse comes to worst, he has new material to write a song about :-)
as a friend, gid is great! super loyal and supportive and chill. as a boyfriend, gid is the worst (at least now he is). super possessive and toxic and a lil bit disillusioned with the whole thing but HEY at least he’s a great fuck!
anyways please come plot with me!! i linked my plots page above the cut but here it is again if you don’t feel like scrolling. i’m sure we can come up with something wonderful together and odds are i’ve already stalked your page and im love with ur muse and simply waiting for us to plot :-)))
