And that’s exactly my point, thank you for framing it so perfectly for me. I will save my heart attack for a later time, though. Me? Helping you unpack? When I haven’t even unpacked myself? Absolutely! B…You know I don’t mean to worry you. I hope you know that at least. I just…Sometimes I need a little…I don’t know. But, I’ll do my best to get better about it. No promises, but I couldn’t live with myself if I was the cause of your demise. Me? Needing supervision? Psh, what ever gave you that idea? Should I be offended? I feel like I should be offended. And, I hope you know I’m kidding. Maybe it is, but either way it’s just you caring really loudly. So, care away. Radical, I love that. There are some great places in town I think. Be careful there Blainers, my heart might go and grow three sizes from you being so sweet to me. And even putting us ahead of Nora? I’m impressed. But you know, you’re both just as important to me. Tell me dear brother, how is the Academy treating you so far this year?

PM: Just between you and me, I think you’re a dork sometimes, and I’m saying that with love. ...I know, I really do. I would have intervened a long time ago if that wasn’t the case. I wish you could let me in and tell me what it is that you need, but it’s really okay if you don’t. Everyone needs space from time to time, and you can have all the space you want and need. I was just asking for a heads up, that’s all. Do you think you can do that for me? And well, based on the fact that you’ll always be my little brother, I believe I have the prerogative to be sweet while fussing over you at the same time. At least I’m not pointing my fingers at you or speaking really loudly to be intense, right? ...God, I can’t believe I’m saying this but I do miss Coop. Oh, same old, same old. You know my heart’s set on New York, not here. 

What about you? Are you in any clubs?

mycurlsaredapper​:

I’ll try to behave Blaine, you know I’ll try. But you two are pieces of my soul and will always be with me, you have always been whenever I go even when you don’t go with me. I love you both too much and I’m getting emotional!!!

PM: Hush, i don’t know, I think he is sort of dating the kindest guy in Bridgeport, i don’t wanna intrude you know? and also, i’ll try to give him hints, but… omg I get so stupid when i like somebody! why?!!!!!

I know you will, and see, this is why you write music. You’re so lyrically talented, it leaves me in complete awe sometimes.  PM: You have a crush on someone who’s already in a relationship? ...Well, I mean, feelings are feelings, and it’s not like you can control how you feel about someone. You’re not stupid, Ev. On the contrary, I think you’re being really smart about this. 

Are you okay, though? Do you need anything?

I do have a thing for destiny and fate, I think it’s a nice concept. I was working at the Spotlight Diner and I was feeling down, when an elderly lady came in and asked if she could put up a poster for the production of Peter Pan at the nursing home for retired performers. She noticed I wasn’t exactly dazzling her with my personality and she listened to me talk about… well, the stuff that was bothering me. Of course, she was a retired performer herself, and she invited me to come watch their rehearsals and the rest is history. Apparently, I get along very well with the elderly, and I’m not quite sure how to feel about that. I do still have contacts with my internship, and I do reach out to ask how things are going, but I’ve stepped down from my role there for now. I never really made it on Broadway like I wanted to, which is fine, I suppose. I’ve got my boutique now, and I did work at Vogue.com. I can live with singing in the shower as long as my shower mat is sturdy enough to keep me from slipping my way through stage blocking. I admit, I’m a sucker for the movies and music too. There’s nothing like decorating for the holidays, though. Setting up the winter baked smells, and actually baking so there are treats to set out. Garlands, tinsel, ornaments, lights, the works. It’s a satisfying endeavor. I have my mom’s favorite perfume bottle, I put it up on my tree every year as an ornament. I have to concede, I do love the sentiment. I’m a bitter Betty, but maybe that’ll change this year. Who knows?  

You don’t think preordained fates exist? Ah, a familiar name that rings a few bells. I’ve been there myself a few times and I must say, the impromptu performances have always been such a delight to watch. And here I was hoping I could tease you somewhat, but that is, quite frankly, the most heartwarming story I’ve ever heard. If nothing else, it’s nice to know that their passion still remains, even as the rest slips away. I hope I’ll never get tired or bored of performing. Did they invite you to play a role or were you merely on the production side of things? Hey, now. There’s nothing wrong with that. Getting along well with the elderly, I mean. Perhaps you’re just an old soul. Or perhaps you’ve had life experiences that made you more receptive and interested in maturity. Point is, you can hang out with whoever you want. Besides, elderly people can be pretty badass, if you ask me. I’m sorry Broadway didn’t work out for you, though. But you have your own boutique, and I think that’s pretty awesome. I’ll have to pay your shop a visit if you have bow ties in stock. I suppose baking and decorating during Christmas can be quite rewarding. Baking in general seems to have therapeutic value for some, or so I’ve heard. You hang your mom’s favorite perfume bottle as an ornament? But wouldn’t she need it since it’s her favorite? Love is a wonderful, wonderful feeling, and sometimes it comes when you least expect it, so yes, maybe this might just be your year. I’m definitely keeping my fingers crossed for you, Kurt.

archerduvaldom​:

Woahhhh, what’s up party people? It is I, your favorite (and only) academy art teacher! If everyone could please remain calm, I would appreciate it! I promise, I’ll get around to saying hello to each and every one of you.

In all seriousness, how is everyone doing? For anyone I really haven’t met yet, I’m Archer Duval, and I am actually Bridgeport’s one and only art teacher! Hopefully I’ll get the chance to see more than one new face in my classes this semester, but if not, you’re always more than welcome in Art Club once we start back up! Let me know if you’re interested in either or if you have any questions! Otherwise…Let’s get this party started!

@bridgeportstarters​

It’s nice to meet you, Sir. I’ve always been interested in arts and crafts, so you can probably expect to see my face there. I’d love to join the club as well, but alas, I don’t think I’ll have enough spare time for that, and I’d rather not commit to it if I know that I lack the means to do it well. 

[bandersub]

gabbilopezswitch​:

Isn’t it crazy how things always kind of look different in person than you remember them looking? In this case, it isn’t a bad thing. Actually this place looks better than I remember it. Anyway, I’m Gabriella Lopez and before anyone asks yes, I do have two cousins here, Serena and Santana. Some of you may know me, I was here about a year ago. It’s good to be back. Someone should catch me up though. Who’s new, what’s happening, and most importantly, does anyone know when classes start?

@bridgeportstarters​

Aside from the school looking better than you remember it, I hope you’ll make better memories this time as well, Miss. I don’t believe I’ve had the pleasure. My name’s Blaine, Blaine Anderson. I’m not entirely sure when classes are starting again, but I imagine soon. 

[bandersub]

lucastheoclarington​:

So I guess this is it for the next few years, huh?

Any chance of graduating early? ‘Cause I can’t imagine this place’s got something to teach me about Dominant-submissives that I don’t already know.

I don’t think that’s the only thing this place has to offer, Sir. There’s also the prospect of meeting new people and making friends with them. And who knows, you might even realize that there is indeed something you haven’t already learned once you attend the classes. It’s possible.

[bandersub]

bridgeportanderson​:

You’re as on top of it as always, I think anything different would have given me some kind of heart attack. What all do you have left to do? Probably nothing now, I know I’m super late on a response. Do I? Are you sure about that? I’m kidding, I’m kidding. Nobody’s lips are sealed tighter than mine, B. Me? Oh you know, living the dream or a beautiful nightmare. Either way I’m having the time of my life. Are you doing okay? I’ve been. I haven’t been good or bad, I’ve just been. But that’s better than not being, I’m sure you would agree. It has been a while, but that’s my fault. I was the one who pulled a disappearing act over break. And before that. But hey, why dig up the past, right? I’m really relieved to hear that, we all know he is in desperate need of supervision. He might touch the hot stove otherwise. And, you are the most stable of us, so naturally it is your duty! Me? Take care of myself? Psh, never. I know, I know, classics, cinematic masterpieces, but still. You’ve got to come up for air sometime my man. I hadn’t really thought about it to be honest but now that you’ve asked…Eating out! When are you free?

I would hardly count unpacking my bags as being on top of things, but no heart attacks necessary. Please. I’m all done, but were you thinking of helping out if that wasn’t the case? ...And I worry about you whenever you do that without so much as leaving behind a note, Ky. And the next thing you know, I’ll be the one having some kind of heart attack. Hmm, I don’t know. I feel like you need some of that as well. Supervision, I mean. You might not want it, but I feel like you need it. Or maybe that’s just me projecting my worries onto you because I really do want to keep an eye on you as well. Not to prevent you from causing trouble, but to make sure that you’re safe. Eating out it is, then. My schedule’s pretty open for now, so anytime, really. Nothing and no one is more important than the two of you, and that includes Nora Ephron and her cinematic masterpieces, as you so eloquently put it.

subdavek​:

I can imagine it has been, I’m glad you get to take advantage of this time together. It’s also really refreshing that you’re happy to be back, I haven’t seen a whole lot of that this year so far. I understand, that’s nothing wrong with that. I’ll cross my fingers that those hugs happen for you ASAP. Me? I do, yeah, but they aren’t here. So, it’s still just me. For the time being, at least. I’m learning that you never can tell who will pop up around here. Oh! Really? I wouldn’t have known. Thank you for teaching me something new! That sounds like as good of a time as any! Oh, I…Don’t have anything planned, no. Other than hitting the stores for those February 15 candy sales. Which…Sounds pretty sad when I put it that way, but it’s kind of a tradition. If that makes sense. 

Well, I’m only happy about it because my brothers are here. Ask me again when they’re not and you might receive an entirely different answer. Thanks, Dave. You’re a really genuine person, you know that? And I’m sorry if I’m overstepping boundaries, though. I just realized that that might be a tad too personal to ask. I’m always interested in hearing the different types of sibling dynamics out there, but please feel free to tell me to shut up. You’re very welcome! No, I don’t think that’s sad at all. I can very well see myself doing the same. Someone’s gotta help clear all those cupid treats and goodies lest they go to waste, and besides, cocoa beans have feelings, too. I refuse to believe otherwise. 

[bandersub]

switchjenna​:

Don’t mention it! You’re so respectful, I love that, but you don’t have to worry about titling me. Jenna is just fine! I think it cultivates the whole friendship atmosphere a little better, don’t you? That’s okay, I can be that way sometimes too. Oh I get it, trust me. Hair is such an important thing. No worries, no worries, it’s alright! To be honest I’ve seen your brothers mention you so many times, I would have known who you were just because you look like them! That’s true, that’s true. It seems you’re pretty perceptive, Blaine! Oh my heck, we’re going to get along perfectly I swear it. Honestly I’m into just about everything, outside of the super packed action kind of stuff. I just…Don’t get the same kind of thrill from guns and explosions other people seem to. Awesome! I’ll get some popcorn ready! How do you feel about candy?

Only because you deserve it, Miss, or shall I say, Jenna? Just like how my brother flirts with people to break the ice, I treat everyone with respect to accomplish the same and more, until they’ve done something to lose it. But yes, I agree, and I’m honored that you’re giving me the privilege to call you by your name. Although I hope it’s fine if I continue to call you Miss occasionally, because I don’t feel quite right with you when I don’t, especially when you’re being so kind to me. You don’t question me nor judge me or demand for answers, and it makes me want to return your kindness in tenfold. Neither do I, honestly. I mean, I can watch those movies, I just won’t be able to appreciate nor enjoy them as much. I’m someone who looks for a good story and unforgettable characters; something a little more human. Oh, thank you, Miss. Popcorn sounds amazing - anything but cheese puffs, really. 

[bandersub]

dommelissacc​:

If you say so, but I won’t believe it until I see it. It doesn’t? I hadn’t noticed. Really though, of course I’m not jazzed to be back. This place isn’t hell, but it’s not the most fun I’ve ever had in my life. I could be doing literally anything else. Huh. Well. That’s not what I was expecting, but best of luck with that. You never know, there’s still a whole four weeks. Good thing you’ve got all of your fifty-five brothers to make sure you keep it in check. So, are you super stoked for classes to start? I bet you are. You give that vibe. No offense. 

That’s fair, and I’m sorry you aren’t elated to be back. I mean, I get what you’re saying. I’m only happy about it because both of my brothers are here. It’s just my wishful thinking more than anything, but truthfully, I’d be fine even if nothing special happens. That’s not why I celebrate it, anyway. But thank you for wishing me luck, Miss. I’ll be sure to convey my thanks again if my wishful thinking ever come true. Actually, I keep myself in check most of the time. None taken, really. I suppose I am looking forward to the classes, but only because I can appreciate having routines and schedules. Not to mention that I like to keep myself busy, too. 

[bandersub]

switchingkurt​:

The feeling is mutual, Blaine. It sounds like it, and if not then we really must have some kind of luck. I was there for the same reason you were, actually. I went to a specialized school there to hone my craft and went after Broadway roles as often as possible. I had a few film students approach me for roles in their class projects, and I put on a production of Peter Pan for a nursing home, but that was the long and short of it. I ended up working at Vogue.com as an intern because my boss really liked my OOTD blog, which I still keep running. It’s been up since middle school. You don’t have to worry about sparing me anything, I love a good long story, but I won’t press either. Is there a word for a Valentine’s Scrooge? The short answer is both. I have a lot of family traditions for the winter holiday season, and Christmas is kind of the star on top of the tree, so to speak. And I do love to bake, and I’m a sucker for pumpkin spice. What about you? What draws you to cupid’s day?

Maybe we did pass by each other on the streets, but we just never noticed it. It’s a shame, but hey, maybe the timing wasn’t right. A nursing home is not what at all I had in mind or associate with when I thought of Peter Pan, but I’ll bite. What seems to be the story there, if any? Vogue.com - that’s pretty amazing. But in all seriousness, is there anything you can’t do? Because you seem to dabble and excel in all sorts of interests and hobbies. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if you still have some other hidden talents and tricks up your sleeve. But are you still actively involved in them, though? The Broadway roles and your internship, I mean. I’ll have to reserve judgment on the nursing home bit until I hear the full story. I’m a fan of Christmas as well, but mostly for the songs and movies. Well, it’s nothing too special, but I just think that there’s something really great about a day where you’re encouraged to just lay it all on the line and confess your feelings to somebody. It takes an immense amount of courage, and sometimes people just need an excuse and that extra push, you know? Besides, the world could always use a bit more love. Wouldn’t you agree, Mr. Valentine’s Scrooge?

[bandersub]

mycurlsaredapper​:

I’ll try to be careful, I can already see other doms after my neck because I’ve been flirting way too much and not being careful at all!

Maybe, it’s a crush for now because I don’t know if he likes me back

You are incredibly sweet, Blainey! I love you because of that!

You really should, Ev. And at the risk of sounding like a nag, which, I’m aware that I totally am, please stay safe and don’t get yourself hurt for no reason. As much as it pains me to say this, but Kyler and I won’t always be there to look after you. 

Well, what’s stopping you from pursuing said crush then? Use your Anderson charms if you have to. ...But please at least tell me he’s a nice person and has been treating you right? 

[bandersub]

subastian​:

That I have, a face like that is hard to miss. Don’t worry, he’ll pop out sometime. He’s been wrapped around a certain submissive for the last few days, he’ll come up for air eventually. Don’t beat yourself up too hard about it, I read people pretty well. The Valentine’s Day post might have given you away a little. That makes sense, maybe that will change before the day comes. I’ll see you there, then. You’ll have to save a dance for me, I’m a professional so I really mean it when I say that you have to. I don’t know, you’re making me think that I might want that. What kind of drunk are you? It can’t be that bad.

Should I say thank you for the compliment? Unless it’s directed at my brothers instead of me. Ah, dang it. Seems like I’ve made it too easy for people to read me, and I can’t have that. I shall watch what I post next time. I have no doubt that you’d own the dance floor, Sebastian, but are you sure we’d make a good team? I’ve been told one too many times that I dance like as if I’m in a boyband, so I’d think twice if I were you. Oh, trust me, you do not want to be near me when I’m drunk. And I can’t possibly tell you that. I’ve gotta watch what I post, remember? 

[bandersub]

mycurlsaredapper​:

Ouchie, but I like flirting, it’s good and I make friends in the process, and maybe more…

Yeah, Valentine’s between brother’s… just nope nope. And I am a romantic, I just don’t believe in the celebration.

I’ve been fine, I’ve kinda met somebody who is giving me good vibes and we are good friends and I like him. Oh, have you heard the EP? What do you think of it?

I suppose it can be a way to bond and the first step in getting to know someone new. As long as you’re being careful about it, I guess.

Wait, really? Is this a crush? Do I know this person?

Of course I did, Ev, and I love it. There’s no doubt that you’re extremely talented and excellent at what you do, but this serves as a good reminder. 

[bandersub]

fletchmeeksswitch​:​

Hey! Wow there are so many people coming in, I’m going to have to devise some kind of system to keep up with everyone. But, its nice to meet you. I’m Fletcher Meeks, I just transferred in from an academy in North Carolina. It’s nice to meet you, I’m sure I’ll see you around sometime Blaine. In my personal opinion, it’s never too early to start anticipating a holiday. But, I don’t typically get all riled up about that kind of stuff. Do you have something in mind you’re thinking of doing for someone?

And I guess us Andersons aren’t exactly making it easier for you, huh? It’s a pleasure to meet you, Fletcher. Oh, then this must be a lot more daunting to you than it is for the rest of us returning students. Why did you transfer, if I may ask? It’s never a walk in the park to find your footing in a new environment, so I do hope that you’re settling in well, Sir. Or at least, as well as one can be. No, I’m not thinking of doing anything for anyone. It’s mostly just an excuse for me to watch romantic films and musicals all day long, with the occasional sing-alongs.

[bandersub]

switchaveryabrams​:

I do! I like building the picture in my head, being able to fully immerse and everything. You’re right about that, it’s very calm. There are actually a lot of places like that around here, I think it comes with being a smaller town. It’s nice to meet you as well. Did I say my name is Avery Abrams yet? I forgot. We do, I can make sure some are set aside for you. 

Well, I’m profoundly Deaf so it’s the easiest way for me to communicate. I do simcom, which is speak out loud while I sign, when I’m talking to hearing people. But for me to understand you without ASL, all I can do is read your lips, which isn’t as easy as people think. Be prepared for me to ask if you said some really random, potentially shocking things when we meet in person.

That’s very true. I always feel like books functioned as a proverbial looking glass, taking us through new worlds and possibilities. They’re definitely one of the better investments in life. Oh, did you grow up here? Is this your hometown? And yes, you did, so no worries. Thank you so much, Sir. I really appreciate it.

Ah, I see. But that honestly sounds like a very difficult thing to do - to sign and speak at the same time, since they’re two different languages. I’d be surprised if you haven’t experienced any sort of fatigue thus far. And that’s totally okay! I mean, I seem to have a knack for saying the wrong things anyway, so that’s always a possibility and not at all a far-fetched assumption to make. 

[bandersub]

dommelissacc​:​

Good lord, I had forgotten how many of you Andersons there are. It’s nice to see you back; as nice as it can be at least, considering that seeing you back means I am also back. Anyway, I have no clue what you’re talking about, but if you’re looking to pull off something really special for Valentine’s Day, I would suggest anticipating yesterday. No one likes rushed. That’s just my two cents. 

I’m the last one, I promise. It doesn’t sound like you’re too keen to be back, but I appreciate the sentiment all the same, Miss. I don’t actually have anything grandeur planned, no, so it’s just the hopeless romantic in me that’s wishing for something special to happen. Oh, I agree with you, wholeheartedly. It’s just that sometimes my body will move on its own accord before my mind could catch up with it, but I would have already done something regrettable at that point. It’s embarrassing, to say the least.
