tom: i am finally home in london and to say i've missed it very much is an understatement. today is the baftas and i am currently scrolling through tiktok to generate a feel for it before i have to get ready, as my team has been encouraging me to join for months for work promotion.

tom: i feel very out of my element right now but i cant stop watching these odd little videos?? i've also posted a video surrounding the unicef organization and my comments are consisting of, 'HIDE YOUR EDITS', 'DONT LOOK AT MY USERNAME', 'IS IT REALLY YOU' and 'TOM DELETE TIKTOK U DONT WANNA BE ON HERE'. not sure my team knew what they were suggesting with this one

josh: that's awesome! how's london? i bet it missed you just as well. are they posting a lot of tiktoks about the event?

josh: oh, man i'm sure a bunch of your fans are joking when they say that. unless you want to check out your hashtag? maybe they're sheltering you from the embarrassment...not too sure about that quite yet. my guess is either loki videos or thirst traps, ha.

That is what she’s doing! You could definitely say that, Willa is without a doubt a a daddy’s girl. Which I don’t mind, because I love the bond that Willa has with her father. Though that’s not to say she doesn’t love me, she very much does. that’s one great thing, the fanbases we get that support us in so much. I will admit I have a mixed bag when it comes to my fanbase but the ones that are amazing make it all worth it. 

That’s encouraging with her not playing favourites all too much. It’s all you can ask for. How could she not love the person who literally physically gave her life? That’s a certain tie and bond that doesn’t go away. Really? It’s interesting that the ones that are brutal to you think they’re helping when it’s quite the opposite. That’s a way to weed out the true supporters and the ones that are fake.

aw, thank you! she’s such a fun character, and i loved playing her! it’s been such a long time since i’ve cooked, honestly, i’m always in such a rush that i just forget to cook something half the time! do you have any recipes you recommend?

Of course! Did you have to be trained in archery or were you already equipped with those skills? Anything that includes a crockpot that does most of the work, maybe? Like a roast or shredded chicken for tacos or a casserole? I find baking a bit more tedious because there’s less room for error.

I liked to think it missed me just as much as I missed it. Oh please, that guy always thinks he’s my best friend, unless someone tells him otherwise. What are you filming? I’m sorry but it looks like you tried to do that thing that gen z kids do after they’ve said something humorous or whatever the reasoning is. Imagine if on the day the movie is released the director is like ‘April fools! Its not a real movie!’ What kind of things do you write?

A match made in heaven, if you will. Is he not yours? Not to be too nosey about that, sorry. Oh, no. It’s not. The title of the show is just a mouth full. It’s High School Musical The Musical The Series, but saying the acronym just takes up less time. I guess that would be cause as the Generation Z in me. I wouldn’t put it past him, I’m sure it’s been done before. The fans wouldn’t see to like that idea. An array of things. I like to write poems, pieces of lyrics, streams of thoughts, and a mixture of just the daily grind. It helps to take a lot of the pressure of when I can put anything on paper. Otherwise it leaves me. I’m basically the equivalent to an eighty year old with zero memory.

I cannot wait to tour this summer. It’s been so long since I’ve toured. Any suggestions on things I should see while traveling? @sohwoodstarters

That’s great! How long has it been since your last tour? Do you feel a little rusty? Where exactly are you going on tour?

i won my first award last week, it was for the outstanding female actress category, and i’m still in shock. it was an honour to be nominated in the first place, but to win really did feel like something else. i wasn’t able to attend the event as i was elsewhere filming for something i’m not entirely allowed to leak, so enough of that for now. but my sex education cast mates picked the award up for me, and i can’t wait to get back to london to actually be able to hold it for myself. sex education is actually who i should be thanking for the award if anything, after all, they gave me the opportunity to play and develop maeve wiley to even be able to go onto to win this award. check me out over here, getting all in touch with my emotions, excuse me. let’s move on, how are we all? @sohwoodstarters··

Hey, congratulations, that’s an amazing accomplishment! Sounds like you’re quite the busy individual. That’s a good thing. It was definitely an opportunity, but you ran with it. It wouldn’t have happened without both parties colliding. It makes a masterpiece. I’m doing well, thanks. Do you live in London full time when you’re not doing projects?

I literally only just got home after being away promoting two projects back to back and I could honestly hibernate throughout the rest of 2022. If anyone needs me I will be rekindling my relationship with my bed and we’re going to be very happy together. If anyone wants to bring me food I can guarantee you will automatically get the title as my best friend, as long as you don’t tell Mackie. But no in all seriousness how have ya been? Tell me everything, even the boring bits. @sohwoodstarters·

Your bed has missed you, I’m sure nobody could judge you for doing so. Sounds like it’s a much needed time to chill. Who’s to say Mackie doesn’t already know? Kidding. I’m doing all right. Getting to film HSMTMTS season three and promoting a movie that’s coming out on April Fool’s Day. Kind of ironic. Other than that I spend the rest of my time writing, as much as I possibly can.

honestly, i’m not really sure what to do with myself–i’m between roles right now, and that’s always the most boring time. does anyone have any recommendations? i’m tempted to get back in the studio and record something, honestly. @sohwoodstarters·

Congratulations on your projects. I watched Hawkeye recently and Kate was pretty much making me laugh the whole time. Do you like to cook? Read? Write? I’m sure your fans would love to hear something from you if you choose to do that.

At what point do we have to claim we have a problem when it comes to our hobbies? I’ve been sat here for the last several hours… when really it’s been days on and off… that I’ve been drawing, sketching, googling, and planning out my garden layout to start this spring? We’re a few measly weeks away from finally saying goodbye to winter and that means I’ll be digging out my gardening tools to get that back up to speed and now I can decide which vegetables make the cut to grow in my upcoming garden. Needless to say I’ve got a problem and if someone could help me or at least tell me they obsess with their hobbies the same way, that’d be great. @sohwoodstarters·

I wouldn’t say having too many hobbies is negative. Those all sound like good, healthy ways of spending your time, to me. So you’ve got a green thumb I gather? I tend to journal a lot when I’m by myself. It gives me a generous amount of time to reflect. I’m not the most talented in sewing, but I can make a mean pair of socks with some knitting and stitching. That all makes me sound like a seventy year-old geriatric, doesn’t it?

Very sassy, she’s a mix of Joe and I, and since we’re both relatively sassy… or so I say we are, our child is like double it. She will, I make sure she gets to see him as much as possible, I want her to have a close relationship with her father. Without a doubt I’m mentally preparing myself for the terrible twos, my mum said I was a handful at that age so I’m expecting the same. Congratulations on all the good news over the new music, always so good when you see how excited people are for you. 

I never would’ve guessed. She’s just throwing back double the amount that was laid out before her. You’re just doing the best you can. Is she a quote on quote daddy’s girl, or does she give an equal division of attention to the both of you? I believe you’re capable of getting through it, I have faith in you. Thank you, I appreciate it. I’m really lucky for the fanbase that I have.

[jtbassett]

scphietvncr·:

Thankfully, no. She’s not sick, but sometimes she can get quite grumpy. Think she was just missing her dad, she’s a bit of a daddy’s girl. Willa is almost 19 months old, just a few months shy of two years old. Which seems incredibly crazy that she’s going to be heading into the terrible twos already. How’s that been? I take it fans have been supportive? I’ll have to give it a listen I’m always looking for new music to get obsessed with. 

Is she sassy? Aw, I got you. Hopefully she’ll be able to see him soon and it’ll set her right on track. Wow, almost two. Yeah, I’ve heard the terrible twos start heavy. Here’s to hoping she takes it easy on you when the time comes. It’s been great so far. Everyone’s liked the video and song so far that I’ve seen. The support’s been...truly eye opening.

claire: yeah, it's my third headlining tour, it gets a little bigger each tour which is exciting and i usually do have a good time. for whatever reason, this tour is just super stressful thus far. i'm hoping it gets a little easier after the first month.

claire: yeah, i have a few prescriptions and over the counters i can take, sometimes it works, other times it doesnt, depends on my pain level. stretching is more my friend than anything but it can be hard to do when youre on a bus and not in a venue. dont take them honestly, theyre nasty and dont work. i think i just need to brainwash myself into thinking they're going to give me energy lol! where do you get your ginger shots at? maybe if theres somewhere that carries them by a venue, i'll try it.

claire: i think my fans would be more familiar with him than i am, but i should probably check out more of his music for sure, to support another artist

josh: that's so cool! one day i'd love to be on tour, so you have to tell me everything and i'll live vicariously through your experience :) just remember to keep breathing, you got this.

josh: hm, gotcha. stretching is great too! meditation? i'll definitely steer clear of them, although i feel like i've seen commercials for them constantly at one point. how much energy do they really give you? and in such a small bottle it's very intriguing. i get mine at trader joe's, they're next to the smoothies and juices section in the fridge.

josh: that's right! and maybe someone who goes to your show and hears you play that song may go check him out and it could turn into a domino effect.

claire: on wednesday it will be two weeks since we've been out on tour

claire: my arthritis is kicking my ass and apparently im in worse shape than i thought i was before leaving. i am so happy to see everyone after two years of not playing shows but i am ...so tired im going to cry. pls send help. or a caseload worth of those five hour energy shots. i'm sure they wont do anything, they never fucking do, but if i drink anymore starbucks my stomach will implode.

claire: also that mr loverman song has been in my head nonstop the past two days and im tempted to cover it. it is hitting way too fucking deep for someone who hasnt been in a relationship in like four years

josh: wow!! congrats. tour is a big deal. have you had fun?

josh: oh no :( is there anything you can take for it? are you stressed? coming from someone who's never had the five hour energy before i'm not sure about them...but i personally take ginger shots! they're supposedly great for immune health.

josh: ricky montgomery is a lyrical genius, isn't he? if it connects with even one fan i say do it!

There is something about the sleep after you’ve travelled so long that just hits different. Italy to LA was no joke of a flight, especially with a cross-over and I promised myself I would stay awake to a decent time but I swear, I saw my bed and it was game over. I took the nap of my life and now I am probably going to be awake all night so I would love it if people could hit me up with late night places to eat and their Netflix recommendations because that is what is in store for me for the night. @sohwoodstarters·

Now I know you’re talking about some good rest. The kind where you wake up and aren’t sure which millennium you’re in? How was Italy? Was it worth the unlimited jetlag? Peaky Blinders has been on my queue for a bit, along with some original movies like Enola Homes or The Devil all The Time. What kind of genre do you tend to gravitate toward?

Willa woke up in such a grumpy mood this morning, so much that even mum’s cuddles didn’t help. Which is a very rare occurrence, so after getting some of her favorite things we’ve cuddled up under a massive blanket fort that I put together watching her favorite movies and still attempting to cuddle. She’s still a bit fussy, think she might not have gotten the best sleep last night, but she’s cuddling with Percy and Porky like they’re her own personal pillows and all seems calm right now. Anyone else having this exciting of a Thursday as I am? @sohwoodstarters·

Ah, poor thing. Is she sick? In my experience nothing sets me right quite like a cup of tea or coffee and being snuggled up in a nice warm bed. I hope she gets to feeling better soon. How old is your little one? I do, actually. I just dropped a new single and am nervous for the response from my fans. Just a little bit of jitters, you know?
