I’ve been wearing sweatpants so much lately and at first, I was like this is a bad thing but it’s not. It’s never felt more right. I may be going crazy having some time off finally but at least I’m living that life in comfort. Speaking of crazy, I promise I’m not or at least, I’m not psycho assassin level. That’s just me on tv. The name’s Jodie and if you couldn’t tell, introductions aren’t my strongest suit. @hfrpstarters
don’t feel bad whatsoever. whenever i’m at home, i’m always either in joggers or shorts, so you’re not alone. it could be worse. you at least change your sweats daily, right? it’s not like you’re in the same pair for two weeks at a time. if so, that’s a bit more ... questionable. it’s nice to meet you, jodie! i promise your show is at the top of my list of things to watch soon. i’m getting to it, i swear.
I think some of my favorite places has to be those hole-in-the-wall ones. I’ve been spending a few days in LA after I finished filming to visit friends and decided to venture off into the city with my lack of direction, I found this place called Earle’s and wow. They have a burger called the double charburger which definitely clogged my arteries, though not medically proven, but it was mindblowing. Might be tempted to do that again, and by again, I mean possibly clog my arteries at yet another establishment. Anywho, my name is Nathalie, how are you doing this fine day? Better yet, do you have any favorite hole-in-the-wall places? @hfrpstarters
i’m such a fan of local joints. i feel like they have so much more creative freedom, right? you never know if you’re walking into a place where you’ll feel like you’re right at home or if you’ll be scarred by how shitty the service is and won’t wanna go back. it’s super hit or miss -- which is part of the fun! was that your first time going there? i’m gonna look up some yelp reviews or something so i can see how legit it is. it’s nice to meet you, nathalie! i’m shawn and i’m doing pretty well. currently about to scope out this cool joint that my new friend nathalie has been raving about, so i can’t complain much.
Have you ever just forgot that you had something releasing soon? I’m not sure why I forgot, but I feel like I’ve been so distracted by other things that everything else just slipped out of my mind. I didn’t even remember that we were releasing a Japanese album in July until the single dropped the other day and I even helped composed one of the songs on the album. Please tell me I’m not completely stupid for forgetting. @hfrpstarters
let’s not talk about the time that i nearly forgot i was going on tour until i was supposed to be ready to leave and i had nothing packed. i completely blanked once because we took a few rest days and i woke up one morning with my manager asking if i was ready to hit the road. so, shit got delayed a bit that day. are you excited about the release? you must be, right? is the album exclusively releasing in japan or will it eventually have a worldwide release? selfishly asking so i can listen as soon as possible.
So, yes, I may or may not have been playing too many video games lately but there’s a completely reliable explanation for that. Valorant came out and I was all over that because the game is awesome. And now The Last of Us Part II is out as well and that’s like my favorite game franchise ever so if I disappear for a long period of time, that video game is the reason behind it. Damn, I can’t wait to get into it! @hfrpstarters
let’s absolutely discuss video games, dude. i haven’t played valorant but i have peaked in on some of your streams while you’ve played it and it looks dope. i haven’t played the original version of the last of us yet, though! so i can’t jump on part ii. i’ve seen tons of mixed reviews, so i hope it’s worth the hype. i’m playing a crazy amount of dead by daylight right now. that’s usually my go-to game. i’ve also been life is strange 2, which is super slow-paced but i’m hoping it picks up soon.

So the son and I were sitting at home trying to find something to watch on Netflix when he happens to see the movie 47 Meters Down and he gets excited because sharks! Me, naturally knowing what’s going to happen, am expecting to make a life lesson out of this so we’re watching and I’m trying to decide by his facial expressions what he’s thinking, is he scared, nervous, terrified… you guys, this kid straight up looks at me when its over and says ‘that looks like fun, we should go one day.’ So my question is.. does anyone want him? I’ll give him to you for free. There is no way he’s mine. @hfrpstarters
dude, don’t get me started on that film. i remember watching it in theaters and it felt like my mind was being blown by the end of it. don’t get me wrong -- i should’ve seen it coming but i kept believing in both of the sisters. have you seen the sequel? i’m tempted to watch it but i haven’t gotten around to it yet. that film carries the same amount of chaotic energy as your film adrift. i had the same reaction at the end of that as i did at the end of 47 meters down. it’s insane that he’d wanna go. clearly that lesson missed the mark. you can keep him, though. i don’t think i’m in any position to become a parent of a kid who wants to go in one of those cages.
I never thought I’d love having three pets – two cats and a dog – as much as I do but I swear, it’s the best thing I’ve ever gotten to do. We’ve had Louis and Bella the longest – they’ll be a couple of months old in a few weeks, and we recently adopted Leon not long after we adopted Louis, but waited until a few days to let fans know we had another cat. The fans were shocked that we kept him a secret for so long but loving how cute he is and it’s making everything ten times better. But somebody has got to stop me before I’m out adopting even more animals and my dorm becomes a new pet hotel. Do you guys have any pets? If so, please share – I gotta see ‘em all. @hfrpstarters
wait -- who is ‘we’? that’s the first thing i gotta know here. i’m like, madly obsessed with dogs. i’m the kind of dude that stops during a run to pet any dog that comes my way. honestly, it’s probably part of the reason i run at all -- so i can go dog watching. you’ve heard of bird watching ... now look out for dog watching. it’ll be the next trend, trust me -- i’m gonna make it happen. it’s cool that you care so much about your pets, though. i don’t have any but i want some soon. maybe a dog? i don’t know. i always get really into the idea until i remember that i’m normally on the road for months at a time. it kinda takes the fun out of it.
slowpezz:
so I rediscovered tinder, and now i’m starting to regret it because some random guy just messaged me. is tinder even worth it with these uncertainties?
@hfrpstarters
tinder sucks, dude. at least in my experience, i’ve found that i’ve enjoyed meeting people naturally. plus, looking for love is lame! just let it come to you and you’ll be much better off. i’m no love expert, though. i could just be full of shit.
I was hoping I could get lost in your PARADISE
text message ➝ music man 🎵
tom: i'm trying my best to! but los angeles is so fucking boring. nothing going on over there and at least london has the pubs! oh yeah, been going down to the pubs and getting some pints. even strolling through a bit of golf to pass the time. i'm a TRUE brit through and through. that would make my day, honestly. please put a stop to all your music man responsibilities and just hang out with your good mate.
tom: i'm sorry about that. honestly, i never mean to do it but... sometimes it just feels better to push people away, you know?
tom: already got a new album in mind? fuck, that's everything i want to hear are you kidding me? you're a stereotypical musician but i love it anyways.
tom: am i that friend or do you have more than one finally? :)))
shawn: quit acting like there aren't bars in l.a., dude. there's plenty of 'em. specifically ones where we can go together and drink because we haven't done that in /forever/. i told kristine that i was gonna take her out to find someone, so you should come with. you're fucking old as hell if that's what you're doing with your time. /don't/ call los angeles boring and THEN say you're just drinking and playing golf. saying "good mate" makes it sound like we are most definitely not good mates.
shawn: well, i'm gonna start pulling you back in when you start pushing away, okay? i just miss you.
shawn: eh, the start of one. i'm working on a couple of ideas. i might even have a song or two about you -- who knows?
shawn: FIRST OF ALL, i have more than one friend.
shawn: second of all, you're the friend. fuck you, my good mate.
text. ⇾ neil horron ❤️
shawn: hey, handsome. i miss you.
shawn: did you fall off the face of the earth or something? are you alive and just ignoring me? let me know if i should delete every photo we have together -- if i'm DEAD to you or something.
shawn: what's been up? catch me up, dude. i feel like i haven't been properly involved in your dramatic lifestyle lately.

addy: have you watched interstellar? i finally got around to watching it. all i can say is, it's been a week and i'm still thinking about that movie. i swear christopher nolan just knows how to fuck with your head, in the best way of course. but still!!!!! it was the same with inception, i had to watch that movie again a few days after because it just messed with me. holy smokes! can't wait to watch his new one and feel the exact same way.
addy: have you watched any movies like that? send me your suggestions if you have.
shawn: i can't believe you just used 'holy smokes' to describe something. what a mom thing to do.
shawn: i haven't seen interstellar OR inception, if that's any indication of how uncultured i am when it comes to popular movies. now you're making me feel like i should watch both, though. consider them added to my never-ending list of movies i'll eventually get around to watching.
shawn: have you seen midsommar? that's the last movie i've seen that i've thought about for like, a month after. i felt like i was losing my mind during AND after.

kris: impossible!!!!!!
kris: i can't believe that's what you think of me. my heart is breaking as we talk. this friendship is over, shawn. i'm running away.
kris: best roommate ever, honestly. friends forever now! well, on my behalf, not sure if he feels the same. although -- i hope so. but i think sometimes it should stay private. you don't have to tell spill every detail, i know i would rather it that way.
kris: gosh, you're not going to give that up, are you? but when are you free? gotta make this happen because i miss your face.
shawn: you're so dramatic. where are you running off to? gonna become a nun and leave me alone to figure this whole life thing out on my own?
shawn: i'm sure he loved spending time with you. it's kinda cool, y'know -- that he's so cool with my ex-girlfriend /also/ being my best friend. i feel like some people would be jealous as hell about it. i don't mind sharing with you but you're right -- there's some details that are just for us.
shawn: i'm in los angeles with a clear schedule right now, so you name the day and i'll find the place.
neon-monae:
ahaha, you’re right! the last people you want on an open road gotta be folks from la, nyc, and boston. more clogged up streets you ain’t never seen.. they get mad with power when there’s no traffic! i did, though – manage to find a different shop, that is. wasn’t as good, but i’m just glad i didn’t become one with the pavement.
i’ve never noticed boston’s traffic! is it that bad? i went to pittsburgh for a tour stop once and traffic was fucking awful. probably didn’t help that i was in town, though. if anything, i just worsened the clog in the machine. what’s your go to frozen yogurt flavor? i’m completely judging you based on your answer, just so you know. no pressure.

Carrie: It is called Find Your Path, it is about me and how I keep in shape. I will send you a copy.
Carrie: What movies have you seen of his that cheesy? I know he has done some comedies, but he has done some really good important stuff also over the years.
Carrie: She is still cute. If I knew her I would work my wonders to get you two introduced.
shawn: i'd love that. i'm sure i could use a tip or two to freshen up my workout.
shawn: daddy's home was suuuper cheesy. cute, though! i watched it more than once with my mom. trust me, i'm not bashing him or anything.
shawn: i've met her before, actually! she was just as dreamy then. i stuttered the whole time when i was talking to her. it was a mess.

mike: 1. yeah? was it good? or has he not made 'em moves yet? 2. 'cause i was being nice first, and then you went and insulted me for it. gotta hold my ground dude.
mike: that's for me to know and you to find out. fuck off, i'm trying to expand my vocabulary and you're insulting me *again*. why do we even text.
mike: you're flustered huh.
mike: [ delayed ] dunno if i wanna now. y'spent the whole text chain hating me so.
shawn: 1. he's taking his sweet ole time. i think he's scared i'm gonna blow him away. (both literally and figuratively.) 2. let me rephrase then. never block me on insta. constantly look at me, faist.
shawn: can't wait. oh, do you want me to go and find someone else to humor with my insults? say the word and i'll just /never/ text you again, mike.
shawn: maybe, maybe not. what makes you think i am? 👀
shawn: you know i don't hate you.
shawn: suit yourself, though. i'm too busy being mean to someone who /appreciates/ me. 🙃
faiisty:
i think about it a ton. even with their intimate history, mike found himself pinking at the confession. he wasn’t ignorant to the fact that he had some sort of appeal – a conventionally simple face alongside a quieter personality that was somehow “enough” for a handful of people to lust over. he had little trouble with finding attraction in the past (post high school) and sexual intimacy had been a part of his life for years. still – there were lovers of his that resembled works of art. there were those who made his eyes blurry with awe, those whose plump lips and long lashes and warm thighs kept mike awake at night. and shawn had that level of beauty. it went beyond waves of muscles and cute curls, and more to do with the tone of his voice, the cheeky grin behind an unfunny joke, the taste of lips in the morning. and being seen and desired by someone mike had already considered a surreal kind of pretty – surprised him every. single. time.
filled with the overwhelming need to voice that exact thought, mike murmured with a seriousness he rarely followed, “i know. trust me, i’ll wait forever if y’want me to. just… m’just honestly kinda relieved you feel that way s’all. i know i make it sound like a joke everytime i talk ‘bout how ‘you’re shawn’ or whatever – but i mean it. i uh. s’not every day y’meet someone who blows you away in every sense of the word, and that someone likes your company. nevertheless wants you.” as he babbled, his voice trickled lower in volume – confidence waning in lieu of his unintended vulnerability. (he was working on it.)
a pause. mike cleared his throat. “anyway,” he propped an elbow up, cheek pressing against the palm as he watched the young man under smitten eyes. his tongue dragged over his bottom lip, and under another wave of realization, he spoke. “cool. we’re boyfriends.”
with each passing moment, shawn felt weaker under mike’s stare. he wasn’t easily intimidated but the musician would never forget the way he felt before he texted mike back in january. he was spitting words into a text, completely unsure of if mike would entertain him with a response. shawn remembered he texted him something stupid -- the details were vague but he knew the idea of a sushi burrito was mentioned. it was just pointless banter at that point. he didn’t think they’d end up discussing labels under the northern lights, have a fight in toronto, or spend weeks together in los angeles. when he sent that initial text to try and catch up, he surely didn’t think they’d be laying in their bed in vegas while hashing out the details about how private their relationship might be. the younger man felt oddly nostalgic as he combed through so many of the memories they already had together.
his thumb slid back and forth across the male’s cheek slowly, giving shawn an excuse to maintain contact with mike. he took in every word, pausing so that when he spoke, he said exactly what he meant. then the followup hit. anyway, he’d heard. “you can’t just go all mushy on me and then cover it up before i have a chance to get mushy back, dude.” the brunette sucked in his bottom lip. “’course i want you. it scares me, y’know? the fact that i could want anyone this much can be ... really intimidating.” shawn pressed his forehead against mike’s, meeting his pretty eyes. “i’m not ... like, i don’t know. i’m not anything special. then about six months ago i started texting you and i started seeing myself the way you see me -- and i really like that version of me. the version that you see, y’know? you’re the best, faist. so of course i want you.”
