i know when that hotline bling

quin torres, seventeen and a junior at wghs who is always down to chill just hmu @quintorres when i die i'd like to be remembered as a ♡ self-defined ass man ♡ “You are flowers in my stomach.
 Cutting me open nightly, blooming through the cracks of the ribs. 
I only want to be the sun for you.”

[mxckemmettlindon-blog]

That’s vile. How come the artists she has stolen from haven’t come forward about it? It’s a bit more complicated than that for me, I get pretty intense when I’m painting, it’s like everything around me just disappears. There’s really no more space for music there or anything else really.

I’ve been told that doesn’t sound very healthy but what relationship really is, right?

[quintorres-blog]

Because she hasn’t necessarily made money off it yet, she’ll drop “new shit” at concerts and people will be like... that ain’t yours. That makes sense, and I bet it’s cool to feel that intensely in those moments.

Every relationship has it’s pitfalls, might as well enjoy the good.

[achillesabernathy-blog]

Momentous, sure, though not as out of the blue. And it’s good, for sure, but not as much my thing? I probably listened to Preach about 1000 times the night it dropped.

[quintorres-blog]

Very true, but I would say that some of his songs off of “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” were just him trying to get enough to make an album and ditch out of that label. I think the truly epic shit is still yet to come with his next album. But maybe I’m wrong. Not that it wasn’t like an important mixtape, but he didn’t give it as much attention as his other ones. Let’s be real, it’s no “Take Care”. Preach is a dope song though, I’ll really give you that. Now I have to go pull up that album and relisten.

Oh, I get what you’re saying - but I agree, we probably shouldn’t get into it, considering that Wind Gap is well, Wind Gap. 

Of course not. I would never reveal this wonderful secret of yours. Hmm, I’ve actually never read Scott Pilgrim or seen the movie - you know, the one with the weird-looking white guy. Michael Something. But I would love to be animated, as long as they made sure that my hair was just as blue as it actually is.

[quintorres-blog]

Yeah, I’d like all my body parts you know, in the same place no burns or disfigurements. So, mum’s the word or however that saying goes. 

Good, I’m glad it’s safe with you. Michael Cera, I think. He’s a trippy looking dude, but funny. I’m sure in an animated world, that would be something they’d excel at, maybe even like intensify.

“In what universe would I think that’s fun?”  

[quintorres-blog]

In every universe? Guess our ideas of fun are different... sorry?

[uhhjersey]

“Right, of course — I’m just going to pretend that I understood everything you just said and ignore that pleading look you’re giving me, because whatever you want me to do I’m sure I’m not comfortable with it — therefore, the answer is no.”

[quintorres-blog]

So you won’t go out as our rival mascot so that we can have a dance contest at the pep rally? I swear, it’ll be fun.

[norafairchild-blog]

I’m sorry, were you saying something?

[quintorres-blog]

Probably, but most likely it wasn’t important. Just me rambling on or something. Why, did I interrupt you?

[mxckemmettlindon-blog]

There is really someone out there named Iggy A? You’re not just making this up? That does sound pretty chill, yes. Oh, I usually listen to classical music or folk but I find music distracts me from my art so I set out times to listen to it, I’m not the type of person to have headphones on at all hours of the day.

[quintorres-blog]

Iggy Azalea, yeah, but no one really takes her seriously. She steals raps and tries to play them off as her own. She’s pretty fake as artists and people go. I wouldn’t make that kinda stuff up, swear. That’s cool, makes sense. Sometimes it can interrupt my own thoughts because I get caught up by the lyrics, so I get why you wouldn’t want it to get in the way of your artistic flow.

[violetxcalloway-blog]

Oh, I hate those kinds of people. You know - the suburban, white, yuppie type who has a wholesome vegan diet and lives their life all-naturally. I mean, I generally have no problem with vegans, but certain types of vegans do tend to get on my nerves.

Oh, you’ve got good intuition. My middle name is actually Starr, which used to irritate me. I don’t mind it now, though. Violet Starr does kind of roll off the tongue nicely.

[quintorres-blog]

I just think people who believe their privileged way of life is holier than others are pretty shitty as a whole, but that’s another story that I can’t get into... not in this town.

What are the odds, I guess I am a little psychic or something. Promise not to tell if I swear I’ll only use it for good? It does, it’s like a rock star name, something from Scott Pilgrim. You could be animated. Which would be killer.

[margiedressler-blog]

Horrifying, I know. 

I have this vlog thing with Calliope Andretta and Donovan Westbrooks, if you know them. I’m sure they’d be willing to humor me in this crusade.

[quintorres-blog]

I think I may have been shown a clip once or twice. Don’t really know them other than that, school’s a big place. I am positive they will, it’s no fun to back out of adventures. Gotta face ‘em head on, am I right?

[uhhjersey]

Do you know how hard it was to pretend like I was paying attention to Mr. Kepner’s speech on whatever when you’re singing it under your breath?

[quintorres-blog]

My b. But I mean, my flow’s not that terrible... I bet I livened up whatever he was talking about. Like American Revolution? Could use some Nicki. Calculus? Better with some Nicki. Though really, it works in all aspects of life, imo.

[achillesabernathy-blog]

it’s cool, man, we all get like that. 

and it was nothing like when the drake mixtape dropped. 

[quintorres-blog]

Good times, good times. How ‘bout that Hotline Bling though. That was a pretty momentous drop, song and video.

[zooviette]

Drake - Hotline Bling (Official Music Video)

[violetxcalloway-blog]

I mean, she probably goes to a bunch of ritzy parties where they serve fancy food, but hopefully she’s not deprived of fast food.

She has great taste. And it is a lot of cool things. My mom gave it to me, too. If my dad had chosen, I probably would have been named after one of the Beatles. So I’m definitely glad I’m a Violet and not a Ringo.

[quintorres-blog]

No one is completely deprived unless they’re like unhappy, uptight people. Like maybe a family in the suburbs whose parents put them on all natural, vegan diets when they were five and now they don’t know any better...

Yeah, she really did. Ringo is not nearly as nice, and entirely more goofy. Maybe he would’ve named you Starr, so it’s not as obvious. 

[margiedressler-blog]

Whenever I tell the principal, he threatens to tell my parents, so either they’re willing to turn a blind eye, or he’s in on it as well.

Quin Torres, right? You wanna come with?

[quintorres-blog]

Oh jeez, that’s some Buffy shi-stuff. Sorry. He totally could be in on it, maybe he gives him free reign of the detention center? Scary.

Yeah, that’s my name. You psychic or something? I’m all about banding together and taking down baddies. You have any more backup? 

[violetxcalloway-blog]

Honestly, everything about her is interesting and wonderful, so her diet probably is, too.

Ah, that’s good - around here, some people seem to thrive on irritating others. And I love your name, by the way.

[quintorres-blog]

I hope it’s all her eating Micky D’s with Beyoncé to be honest, but one can only pray.

Oh thanks, my mom gave it to me. It’s not too shabby, and she went for the aesthetic by cutting off the extra ‘n’. Violet has always been a favorite of mine, name wise. It’s a flower, a color, a stone. Pretty cool. 

[mxckemmettlindon-blog]

I never was able to understand the appeal in rap music, the melodies are often so fast paced and confusing but I have to admit Nicki has some songs I enjoy. Not sure I’d listen to them all day, though. Doesn’t it get boring?

[quintorres-blog]

Not at all, rap music is powerful, ever-changing and growing. Why do you think so many fools like Iggy A try to cop it? But everyone has their own taste, and I appreciate the beats and power to this genre. And the great thing is with remixes and all that they can change up their verses and styles and it’s something entirely different and I think that’s pretty chill. What’re you into?

[margiedressler-blog]

I’m 99% sure that there’s something rotting in Mr Drury’s classroom. Seriously, those rumors he’s a serial killer might be confirmed, because only a corpse could smell that disgusting. 

[quintorres-blog]

Oh, that’s no good. Maybe someone should investigate that, no one wants a serial killer for a teacher. Just like they don’t want like Hannibal Lecter for a cook.

I wouldn’t recommend you go it alone, what if it really is a rotting body? You never know in a town like WG.
