Q&A #2: Part I
🕑 Added 2023-10-30 20:06:19 +0000 UTCProducer: And we’re at it again.
First, Soft Violence takes a seat, greeting the crew. Avina is quick to get it started, grabbing a slip.
@(ex)7 )@avina from users @MC x7mancer OTP @avinaisactuallylameina : so what's up with you and Avina? And why do you two share a bed if you're not dating ? You seem to have a close relationship.
Avina frowns, peering at the slip.
Avina: What kind of username is that?
Next to them, Pope snorts and quickly wipes his face away when Avina glares at him. Kieran keeps his face neutral, but it’s obvious by the way he leans back he’s trying not to laugh. Seven, as usual, keeps a straight face.
Pope: Sorry.
Seven: We’re not dating. I like the company.
Producer: You don’t think people may get the wrong idea?
Seven shrugs, and Avina crumples the slip to throw it in the trash.
Seven: It’s not their business, is it?
Pope pouts.
Pope: Why don’t you want to sleep with me?
Seven: You snore.
Kieran takes out another slip, appearing excited. Out of the group, Pope and Kieran seem to be the two who greatly enjoy the questions.
@softviolence from user: @softviolenceisanundergroundwastebasket so what what is up with 7 and Avina? Are they dating, FWB? Is there any chemistry there besides platonic? Why so hush hush about their relationship and why not just come clean about if 7 and Avina are dating or not?
Kieran’s smile drops and he looks up at the crew.
Kieran: Are we chopped liver?
While Avina tries to a hide a smile, Seven simply shakes their head, looking annoyed. Pope reaches over and snatches the slip from Kieran’s hand.
Pope: I can answer this.
Seven: Please don’t.
Pope: Avin and Sev are not together. They just have a weird thing going on. Completely platonic. Like me and Kieran. Unfortunately.
Kieran: …
Kieran: What do you mean unfortunately?
Pope: I’m just saying if there were any two people who would date in Soft Violence, it’d be you and me.
Kieran: Absolutely not.
Pope: What? You think you’re too good for me or something?
Kieran: I just don’t think you’re my type. There. I said it.
Pope and Kieran dive into a passionate discussion about their hypothetical relationship. Judging by the grateful smiles from Avina and Seven, it’s safe to say that this was a purposeful change in topic.
The camera cuts to another scene. Orion Quinn does not look like he wants to be here. With a sigh, he grabs a slip and immediately shakes his head upon reading the question.
@orion from user@OrisKawaii: ORI!!! I just want to say you're adorbs and should give MC a chance!!! Would you go on a date with MC if they asked you out? Do you have the hots for MC Ori?
Orion: These questions are ridiculous.
He looks around, putting his hands up in pure befuddlement.
Orion: Is it just me?
We don’t get him to answer, as he vehemently refuses to.
The focus shifts to Jazzy Dawson and Chris, her partner. Jazzy was a former member of [band] before her pregnancy forced her to an early retirement. Jazzy would argue the use of ‘retirement’ and ‘forced’ as she claims it was a completely voluntary choice.
Jazzy: I can’t believe I’m doing one of these. Exciting!
Chris: I don’t know why I’m here.
Jazzy lightheartedly swats his arm and Chris makes a pained face, rubbing his bicep.
Jazzy: You’re interesting by association.
@jazzy: do you still practice drumming even being pregnant? And do you put headphones over your belly so baby Leo can listen to music? If so what music do you put on for him to listen to?
Jazzy: I wish I could say I do but I’ve been too exhausted. And busy. We have a drum set in our spare bedroom but we’re making it the nursery so we have to find a place for it…I haven’t shown him any music yet aside from Moonlight Sonata when I’m trying to sleep.
Chris: You haven’t showed Leopold [band]’s music.
Producer: Leopold? That’s the name of your baby?
Chris and Jazzy: Yes.
Jazzy: Why do you ask?
Producer: No reason.
@chris how does it feel to be an unofficial official member of the band? Do you play any instruments? Hey you should co-manage with Ori. ;)
Chris exhales, making a smug face as he leans back in his seat.
Chris: I say that all the time. I can’t play instruments or sing, but I’d be a great asset to the band.
Jazzy: What would you do?
Chris: Maybe I can be a video vixen. I’ll be the face of the band without the talent.
Jazzy: You actually put thought into this…
Chris: I’m already sleeping with one of the members so I may just use that to my advantage to get rich and famous.
Jazzy guffaws.
Jazzy: You don’t want to do it off your own merit?
Chris: Pfft. No. That’s a lot of work.
Chris: I love nepotism.
@Seven what is your families opinion on your break up with MC?
Seven: Er…
Seven shifts uncomfortably in their seat. They scratch their head, clearly trying to stall for time. The rest of Soft Violence stare straight ahead, looking like they’d rather be anywhere else.
Seven: I think my mom was rightfully upset as she was close with my ex...
Seven swallows, struggling to find the words.
Seven: But that’s par for the course with every relationship. I mean…it is what it is…
Seven: Sometimes things don't work out and we have to move on. She knows that.
Producer: Is your mom still upset?
Seven: That’s something you have to ask her yourself.
Seven quickly grabs another slip, evidently wanting to move on from the question.
A MUST QUESTION FOR 7: who is a better big spoon??? MC or Avina?
They sigh deeply.
Pope: Oh, that’s….pfft.
Seven shoots a look at Pope.
Seven: This is a useless question.
Producer: It’s a valid one.
Seven makes a pathetic sound in their throat. They shrug.
Seven: I don’t…Do you ask these questions to them?
Producer: [MC]? We would if we have a chance.
Avina quirks a brow.
Avina: You don’t have to answer it. This just starts unnecessary drama.
Seven: Avina is my friend. Avina. Avina, yeah.
Producer: That's your final answer?
Seven: I...yeah. I guess. I think so.
Avina: You guess?
Producer: You don’t sound so sure.
Seven: I am. Next question.
Blake Winter sits down with a smile on their face, already looking like they’re enjoying this. It seems Blake revels in this kind of display of drama seeking. Unsurprising, given their entrance to the show.
Blake. Marry Fuck Kill. Mc, Seven, G.
Blake: Marry MC. Fuck Seven. Kill G.
Producer: That was fast. You hardly thought about it.
Blake shrugs. They stretch their arms above their head with a yawn: an obvious attempt at appearing nonchalant.
Blake: Attractive people are attractive whether I like them or not.
Producer: That’s surprisingly self-aware.
Blake scowls.
Blake: Do you think I’m ten years old?
[Band] appears, MC sitting in the center. They grab a slip, reading it to the group.
to the band tm: what are your opinions on mc's parents? 🤞🤞
Iris: Yikes.
August: Yikes?
Rowan turns to MC.
Rowan: Can I say what I want to say?
MC: Sure. We’re on camera though.
Rowan seems to remember that, because he turns to the camera with a bland smile.
Rowan: They are…parents.
Devyn: Yeah. Parents. Perfectly sufficient.
Iris: Yup.
August: I just got here so...
Rowan: We've seen a lot growing up. So we have our Opinions.
Devyn: But I think it's best if we keep them to ourselves.
Iris reaches over and takes another slip, laughing as she reads it aloud.
@August from AuggyLover69: so like… if you and mc start smooching… does it bother you at all to smooch mc on the same bus as their ex?
Both MC and August look surprised by the question, and August almost stands before Devyn puts a hand in front of them, keeping them seated.
August: What?!
Iris begins reading it again.
MC: We heard you the first time.
Iris snorts and tosses the slip on the table.
MC: Me and August aren’t….I mean if we were….
August: It wouldn’t bother me. I don’t know.
MC: You’re actually answering?
August shrugs, uncertain.
Producer: It wouldn't bother you?
August: I don't think so.
Producer: You must be very secure with yourself then.
August: I like to think I am.
Producer: You wouldn't be jealous?
MC: What--
Iris: I'm so relieved I am not part of this conversation.
Rowan laughs in agreement. August is shrugging, seriously thinking about the question. MC appears surprised, but they don't shut it down either.
August: Maybe. Maybe I would be.
They whip their head around, eyes widening as if realizing something.
August: This is all hypothetical, by the way.
Producer: Sure it is.
If you had to pick, who do you think is the best singer in BOTB?
Soft Violence: Seven.
Producer: You agree with that?
Seven shrugs.
Seven: Yeah.
Underground Wastebasket is a smattering of answers.
Blake: Me.
Jane: Probably Jerri from Missing in Action.
Blake: Are you serious?
Jane shrugs.
Jane: I’m trying to be unbiased.
Jane and Blake turn to Ansel, who doesn't even seem to be paying much attention.
Ansel: I plead the fifth.
Blake: Wonderful.
As for [band]…
Rowan throws his arm around MC, tugging them close.
Rowan: Well, our very own singer of course!
MC: You can be honest.
Iris: We are.
@Orion- What does [band] have that makes you stick around with them? Because man, you're frowning almost every time I see you on TV, are they really THAT ANNOYING?
Orion: They are annoying.
Orion: But they’re talented and good people, which is hard to find sometimes in this industry.
Orion: That’s why I stay.
Orion’s soft expressions drops.
Orion: And that’s just my face. It’s called RBF.
Producer: You know what RBF is?
Orion: Yes. My sister told me what it was.
The producer actually laughs.
@MisfitAlley- What's your favorite part of being one of the most famous bands in the world? Is it the money? The fame?
Dionne: I think it’s taking care of my family. They’re set because of me.
G: That’s cute.
Dionne: Dealing with G is definitely my least favorite part.
G: Aww.
Mateo: The fame gets tiring after a while.
G: ….
G: Yeah.
G looks pensive, but they quickly shake away the expression back to a neutral one.
Q: But the financial security is nice.
G: I bought myself a five-thousand dollar watch that lights up when I press a button.
Q: Or you could spend your money on stuff like that.
@G - What made you decide to grow your hair out ? What's your favorite hairstyle ?
G: I prefer my hair down. I love my hair, which is why I keep it long. Plus, I was inspired by all the greats. And I look better with long hair.
G puts a hand to their head.
G: Covers my ears.
Dionne: You don’t like your ears? Your ears are cute.
G: Eh. They’re kind of tiny…
Dionne leans back and G tucks a hair behind their ear to show her.
Dionne: Oh.
Dionne: They are kind of tiny...
G: Right?
Q: Wait, is that why you wear your hair long?
G: No, it's just an added benefit.
Dionne: You have great hair.
Q: You do.
G looks proud, winking at the camera as they toy with a lock of hair in front of their face.
G: Thanks. It's my best asset...aside from my face.
Dionne: I would say your voice is your best asset...
Mateo sighs.
Mateo: Can we stick to the topic?
@G Reign other than music, do you have any other hobbies? And what inspires you to make music?
G: Um…
G appears to think about it, their face twisting.
Producer: You have no hobbies?
G: I sleep on my days off. That’s my hobby.
G: Oh. Wait.
G: No, never mind.
Producer: Isn’t that a sad life to live?
G: I travel the world and live the life of a celebrity. What’s sad about it?
Producer: For one, sleeping so much. Not having anything outside of your career.
G: You know, you really like being a therapist, do you?
Producer: I’m simply being the voice of the viewers.
@Blake You can't even do a photoshoot without starting shit. Are you trying to be the villain of this season or are you just always this... childish?
Blake: Eventually everyone will understand me. The truth always comes out.
Producer: What are you saying?
Blake: You’ll see.
For ex!Seven: what was the real reason for your and mc’s breakup
Seven: People want different things.
Producer: Succinct.
Seven: It’s the truth. I don’t know what else to say.
Producer: Do you think love can conquer all?
Seven: Maybe once I did but...
Seven: Not anymore.
