AN INTERVIEW WITH EMILY BARTON #001

What is your Mark?

I’m a submissive.

How do you feel about this being your Mark and would you change it, if given the chance?

There’s nothing wrong with my mark. Societies rise and fall off the backs of submissives, and we’re never given proper credit. How many Dominants would be miserable at taking care of themselves if they didn’t have a house sub, or a whole fleet of house subs doing things like making food and doing laundry. I doubt any of those “self-made” business people would be half as rich or powerful without the unpaid labor of their submissives. So no, I wouldn’t change my mark. But I would change it so that we are given the credit we deserve.

What is your age range?

I’m in my mid twenties.

What is your occupation?

Rich bitch. I don’t know, I guess I invest in some things that I find interesting.

What is your dream occupation?

Helping my Dominant run her own restaurant.

Do you drink?

Sometimes, if I’m in the mood.

If so, how often?

Not more than once or twice a week. I have enough trouble consuming real calories to be fucked with empty ones.

Do you smoke?

Not anymore.

How often do you participate in a scene?

Every two weeks at minimum, sometimes more often if Riss isn’t too tired or if she’s in the mood.

Do you have a regular partner that you scene with?

My girlfriend.

What are some of your favorite ways to conduct or participate in scenes?

I like scenes that are overwhelming. Whether by force or sensation, I like ones where I can barely make sense of the next step. Strip away all control and just be in the moment.

Moving away from the topic of scenes! What is your favorite thing to do in New Eden?

Toss up between taking Kinsey to the dog park and letting run out all of his energy, or taking him to the shelter so he can run out all of his energy. Either way, there are dogs and sunshine, so I’ll take it.

Where do you like to go to relax after a stressful event, not including restaurants or bars?

Home. There’s no place like it and I’d rather stay in than go out.

Where is your favorite place to grab a meal or drink?

I don’t have one.

And finally, who is your favorite fictional character?

Zuko. From Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Interview 001-Andrew Evans

“How do you think you got your title for the show, and do you agree with it?”

“I think it’s cause I’m pretty mellow. I’m not sure about how much of a peacemaker I am, although I do like to keep the peace. And I like to give free hugs. Peace and love, man. Peace and love.” Drew said with a bright smile. “Okay so maybe I am a peacemaker.” He shrugged, “But there’s nothing wrong with that.” 

“It must have been a while since you’ve shared a room with your siblings, how do you feel about doing that again now?”

“Yeah, it has been. But I’m not going to mind it all. My bros are my bros and I like to think that we all get along pretty well. I don’t think there’ll be any problems and we’ll get to bro bond a little bit hopefully.” A slight chuckle left his mouth. “Besides, from what I hear, these rooms are nice.”

“What have you been doing for the past year? College? Work? Sitting home and watching MTV?”

“I’ve been working for this really awesome non-profit, Human Rights Watch. I miss it already, I really like my job.” He ran a hand through his hair. “But I won’t complain about the fact that I get to relax for a little bit, I love just chilling.”

“What are you hoping to gain from this experience, if anything?”

“I don’t really know.” Andrew replied, causing a slight shrug.” Maybe some relaxation tips or some really nice sand pictures. Getting to hang out with my brothers more is also a plus, well if they want to chill with me.”

“Lastly, give us a random fact about yourself. Anything our viewers might not know about you. Go!”

"I have a lucky bracelet that I never take off. It’s called ‘Stand Alone In Tan’ and I love it.” He motioned to his wrist as he brought up his right arm to show the camera. “This thing is like my life line sometimes. Is that a good random fact? I also am almost always barefoot because my feet like to breathe.”

Interview 001.

Hi, Vera! Thanks for talking to us today. How’s the tour been so far? Hey! Oh my God, tour has been rad so far. I’m loving the arena tour! It’s so sick. We’re touring with No One’s Watching and that’s cool because   we all get along. The prank wars are always at an all-time high, so like, you need to be careful around here. There’s always something going on. It’s awesome.

Has there been a city that you’ve stopped in so far that you’d call your favorite? Oh, that’s so hard! I haven’t been to a lot of cities up until this tour, so honestly, every new city has been my favorite. I can’t pick! I’m so indecisive.

How different is it going from playing small theater venues and festivals to something as incredible as an arena tour? Small theater venues and festivals are kind of, like, more intimate, in a way? Like, after the shows, we’d usually be able to run into fans or kick it with them at festivals, but it’s so much harder now! The crowds are bigger and it’s seriously so sick to witness. I love how much we’ve grown!

Do you miss home a lot on the road? Oh, totally. It’s so hard sometimes because I’m pretty attached to my family, but I love what I’m doing, and my bandmates are awesome, so they make it easier if I get homesick. They’re my rocks.

What’s your biggest inspiration when it comes to songwriting? Um, just things that happen in real life, honestly. I always draw a little bit of inspiration from stuff that goes on in my personal life or when I listen to my friends telling me stories.

I’ve seen a bit of hate on Twitter sometimes– tell us, how do you deal with it? Can I just make a quick public PSA that bullying isn’t cool? Like, seriously, some people need to quit it with that. Go outside, breathe some fresh air, and stop being rude to people! Anyway, uh, I kind of have a problem with holding back if I see someone being way too rude and disrespectful to me or one of my friends. If you don’t want me to outwit you, don’t send hate. Simple, babes.

If you could go back, would you ever stop yourself from becoming famous? No way! Oh my God!

How’s the love life going? Got your eye on anyone special? Nah, I’m chillin’. I’m only focusing on the band and the music. That’s the priority, man.

What’s it like touring with No One’s Watching by your side? They’re so chill. I love them. We all get along, so it’s cool to just kick it and vibe with them. It’s sick that we’re all friends. I think that’s rare, you know?

You gotta tell us who the biggest pranksters are. Me, obviously! Well, me and Regan. He’s the only one who can give me a run for my money.

What kind of pranks have been pulled so far? Oh man, way too many! My personal favorite was when I put saran wrap in front of the door, like I literally covered it, and it’s transparent, right? So, no one saw it, and I forgot who it was, but someone walked into the trap, and I was crying from laughter. It was too funny, man. You had to see it!

Can we expect any collabs from you guys soon? Or new music in general? You’ll have to keep your ears peeled! You get no secret deets from me, guys.

What do you think about the fans ‘shipping’ all you guys? Oh man, it’s hilarious. The stuff the fans come up with are amazing. I see so many edits when people mention it to me on Twitter or when they show me in person. It’s ridiculous how talented these guys are with all of this. Have you heard some of the ship names? I think one of mine is Vegan? That’s so funny!

If Panorama and No One’s Watching were in the Hunger Games, who do you think would win? Who would get killed off right away? Uh, I’m totally standing by my band and saying that we’d win it. Someone from Panorama would totally take the gold. [Jokingly, she points to herself, grinning.]

Thanks for talking to us for a bit, Vera. We wish you luck with the rest of the tour! Thank you! I hope to see you at our shows! Have a nice day!
