Hi, I’m Aju (she/her) I’m Japanese and can communicate in both Japanese and English, though my English isn’t perfect so I often rely on translation tools.
This blog is dedicated exclusively to band shipping, with a particular focus on bottom Josh. I do not cover top Josh or switch Josh in any capacity except Josh selfcest. Any asks or requests regarding topics outside of bottom Josh will be respectfully ignored so I kindly ask for your understanding in advance.
If you’re interested in seeing my fanart please send me a DM to request the password (this can only be viewed via a web browser not app.) I share access only with accounts aged 18 and above that demonstrate a clear understanding of band shipping/RPF and actively contribute related content on Tumblr. Should anything in your profile give me pause, I may choose not to share the password. Your understanding in such cases would be greatly appreciated.
If the above guidelines don’t align with your preferences I gently recommend refraining from following. Thank you 🖤
My friend saw Glu Mikey’s new outfit and came up with the AU concept of appliance installer Glu Mikey / housewife Josh, or maybe college student Josh staying home alone, and I thought my head was going to explode
I’d love to upload a video of Josh appearing on this Japanese TV show somewhere someday but I don’t have any of the equipment needed to do something like that so I haven’t been able to figure out how to do it...
Lately we’ve been getting a few more chances to see Josh’s bare legs that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep my sanity. His frame is naturally big but his bones themselves aren’t thick so his legs don’t look bony at all they have this incredibly smooth silhouette. And then there’s how unbelievably pale his inner thighs are… Someone please put a hand behind his knees and flip him over
The fact that the story for the Easy Street video was Josh’s idea is exactly why my brain keeps running wild with theories… For example I keep wondering if Josh also decided which character each band member would play. It’s all completely my own speculation of course but it almost feels like those characters reflect the way he sees each of them
Watching the Easy Street video feels like I’m being shown someone else’s life flashing before their eyes. The escape after the torture, the dreamlike party, then the dizzying glow of the mirror ball in the ending, Josh’s expression, the warped visuals, and the blood-soaked body by the front door. It leaves me with this strange feeling that the people who hunted and hurt him and even the people who were singing and dancing with him in the house all simply disappear by the end
You could also call this a college roommate AU. The entire main concept was created by Linda. Thank you so much as always for your incredible inspiration!!! <333
josh hommes torture analysis, credit to @oajuo for the idea of this post in the first place :3
its basically theories on what type of injury, what caused it, and images!
disclaimer: im not a professional with a degree in a medical field, but ive done upper level forensic classes + handled real human remains! Which is about as far as my hands-on knowledge goes, the rest comes from my studies in crime theory.
HEAD:
face:
small lip cut scabbed over, bruise over eye. Likely a blunt object to the face in these two regions.
Skull- temporal bone
bleeding from the ear- most likely a ruptured eardrum? I don't think this severe amount of bleeding could come from a cut. If he got a ruptured eardrum it would most likely be from insertion of an object, or a blow to the head that would cause a ruptured eardrum as well as a bone fracture and possible cranial bleeding. either way, he has a severe injury and needs to go to a hospital ASAP.
neck:
um... well this looks to be a bruise or minor burn! This is a very difficult area to get a bruise on because usually hitting it with a blunt object would be a lot more destructive than just a surface level bruise. i doubt this was made with a hand because there would have to be an imprint on the other side from the hand gripping, maybe something being forced down on it, but that would likely cause a lot more windpipe damage than he indicates. So in short the most probably theory is hickey, or a hot object being pressed against his skin. the strangle bubbly pattern really gives me no clues, maybe like a cigarette being pressed down 4 times clustered together?
ARMS:
lower arm:
small pucture injury to the forearm. the darker spot looks to be in a hole-like shape which makes me think it wasnt a slice (it would be a thin area). It looks partially scabbed over and only has a small amount of bleeding, so it was likely tended to immediately to cause the least amount of damage.
hand:
surface level cut, blood has likely already clotted given the minimal blood.
LEGS:
knees:
surface level puncture wound. The blood pouring from a few particular spots makes me think this injury was self-obtained by falling, as I dont find it likely his knee was pierced by a needle in 3 or 4 spots. unlike the forearm, this area is very bony, so theres a possibility his knees were beaten with something blunt and spiky to try and break his kneecaps, but given he can run fine, either this failed or was given up on.
thigh:
the actual injury is hidden, but theres a trail of blood pouring from his inner thigh. surprisingly, this isnt particularly concerning for a few reasons. one, he is currently running, meaning theres a lot of blood in his legs pumping around, causing the blood to pour out at a higher rate. two, the injury is under cloth, keeping the blood contained somewhat against the skin, meaning the injury is being kept covered if it is deep. three, he is, once again, running despite his injuries, meaning theres some evidence that its not an immediate concern of his. I believe it would likely be another surface wound following the pattern on the rest of his body, but it could be a deeper puncture into his thigh area. I find it unlikely that it would be on his crotch because that area has a LOT of blood that any sort of injury would be painful, and make him lose a lot of blood. this is very speculative so anyone else feel free to throw out theories abt this one, since its the most ambiguous.
foot:
blood stains gathered around the ankle and foot, no actual clear injury spot. Likely another surface level cut. Looping back again to my tripping theory, I think this was the cause of his tripping and the top of his foot scraped against the concrete as his knees took the brunt of the damage.
Is there a doctor in the house…? We need a full forensic analysis immediately. Based on the placement of the bloodstains on his body we must determine exactly what kind of torture he endured
Not long after Troy had joined the band’s tour Josh lost something at the hotel they were staying in and went to Troy’s room to ask if he could borrow one. Troy was sprawled out on the bed smoking a cigarette. Without even looking up he said “It’s in my suitcase. Just grab it yourself.” So Josh did exactly that. He opened Troy’s suitcase and started digging around until he found a fairly large black pouch. Curious, he unzipped it and immediately froze. Inside were a huge dildo, a set of black leather restraints and a bunch of other things that definitely weren’t what he’d been looking for. But pretending he hadn’t seen it felt even weirder so he let out an awkward laugh and tried to brush it off. “Wow… so you’re into this kind of stuff huh? Didn’t see that coming…” Before he could laugh it away any further Troy looked at him and said “What are you talking about? You’re the one who’s gonna use it.” Josh instinctively looked up and met Troy’s eyes. And that’s how JoshTroy begins.
