We Are The Rebellious Youth - Comments, page 4

XD Girl.
lol it was some obscure interview I think. Or, I mean, they talked about it during it. Like if you just searched his name with beer pong or beirut you most likely won't find it. I've watched a lot of their interviews so it's hard to remember which one. XD Definitely older though, when they still interviewed on a tour bus. But yeah, that's true.
Haha, I think that's happened with other things I've seen in this, mistake wise. It was just something off by a letter or two.
Hmm...

@Nanook
I'll say there's some happiness. I just don't know our definitions of the term are the same xD
Yes, that POV is my bad. It was midnight and my laptop is super slow so I didn't double check.
I remember that they have different names for the games, but let's be honest here. First of all, I couldn't find that interview either. And then another problem, I don't know how many other people have seen that interview and I know everybody recognizes the name 'beer pong'. You know I love my details, but it still needs to make sense to people who don't know everything.
That spelling error is just me missing a keyboard key xD I do that with so many words. Usually I catch them, but this time I apparently didn't.
We've seen Mickey be a whole lot more pessimistic after having had a few too many drinks. She probably just hit that point right when midnight struck.

Oooof, while I know it won't be a cliche af ending, I'm hoping for some happiness, at least. I think after all Mickey's been through, she deserves some happiness.
Great job with the update! A few things to note before I continue my overall feedback:
On the summary page, it's noted as Mickey's POV, when this chapter was Alex's. XD
I was surprised Alex called it "beer pong." Although this is your own fan fic Alex. I just remember AWG in real life, in an interview once, distinctively defining the difference between beer pong and beirut. I can't be bothered to try and find the interview, but just a fun thing I remembered; idk if you ever saw the interview where he said that. And again, it's a tiny detail really; doesn't really matter since you're developing him as your own character.
A spelling thing:
“You do realize you girlfriend just kissed me, right?” Olivia asked, also confused about why I was just standing there.
*Waits to see if you figure it out.* XD
Anyway, back to feedback: interesting update. Mickey seemed to do a complete 180 attitude-wise, perhaps since she was drinking? It'll be interesting to see if it's brought up again. Or if she's caught kissing anyone else. Will Alex get mad? :O
I am currently working on fried brain, so apologies this comment doesn't contain as much as it usually does. But I actually commented on this promptly! Woohoo!
Can't wait for more! :)

@Nanook
I managed to do the gift thing! It's for that 'one-shot' Jack story. That chapter's all done.
And the story is coming to an end, but 13 chapters is still a lot. How do you think I'm ending this one? Am I going to fit in some more drama? Is it going to end with them together? Will I leave an open ending? Will they break up? Will I end it in a breakup? What if I end it like Opposites and trick you into thinking they're together only to break your heart in the epilogue? Do you know me well enough to guess?

XD
Yeah, I understand the gift thing. And then it's really hard not to make it cliche. But I think you did a good job picking hers out. :) And ah, gotcha, well, it's still cool how you incorporated. :)
Well, I at least hope for positive! lol.
Oooh okay. This story is coming to its end. :O

@Nanook
You choose if you want to correct things or not. But now I have to live with the fact that you have seen typos and I don't know where. I'm going to have to read the chapter extensively again.
The worst thing about writing birthday/christmas chapters is the fucking gifts. I can hardly think of them myself. I'm writing another Christmas chapter for another story right now (I know, in the middle of summer...), and I just can't think of gifts! So, I'm glad you liked the idea I gave Mickey.
I wouldn't say it's a drawing of his actual tattoo (I had to do some research so I could see it again). It's very close and very much inspired, and it will come back later in that context. It just isn't an exact replica. And I've always wanted to do something with one of them being unsure, and I also remember Rian saying it in an interview, so that just worked out great.
Oh, and there will not be a cliche ending.
There will be a bit more fluff ;) I have 13 more chapters planned (excluding epilogue), and around six of them are fluff. That's a pretty high ratio. That epilogue also includes fluff... soooo...

Haha, yes, it has.
But yeah, that was definitely interesting how you chose to bring that in.
I've been really lazy with corrections lately. XD I apologize about that. I've been trying to be a bit more chill with feedback. I know you've said you don't mind it, but I just feel annoying now when I do it.
I did spot a couple of things in this new update... if you really want me to, I can go back and leave them in another comment, lol. But again, just trying to be a bit more chill about it.
Great job with the new update, though. I thought it was really cute; I loved the beginning with the Alex and Mickey fluffiness. Haha. It was really sweet, and their gifts were cute for one another. :) While Mickey wasn't as fancy with hers, it's more the thought that counts, and she definitely put more thought into it. :)
I love the little anecdotes you put in here: the drawing of Alex's actual tattoo, Rian talking to her contemplating what he wants to do (which I remember him saying he contemplated college while Jack and Alex were more confident in the band). It just makes me wonder how this is all going to end, like, with where Mickey will be in there lives. I hope it's positive, but I know you don't like the cliche endings, so... :P
I could go for more Alex and Mickey fluff. :) Haha. I just feel like there hasn't been much of it like it was in this new chapter. I mean, obviously the storyline didn't call for it at first, but now that they're together I feel like this is the first real taste of it. But then again, that's just me... I just love reading the sappiness haha. Although if that was the whole story, it would be a lot, so pace is good. lol.
Anyway, hmm... I think those are my thoughts for now. Can't wait for more! :D

@Nanook
A lot has happened, hasn't it?
I can't just have Mickey always telling stories, there needs to be a first-person experience as well! Otherwise she just wouldn't be credible xD
I wouldn't say it is serious enough for Annette to track Mickey down, we still have Devon for that. Mickey just shouldn't go back to that place any time soon.
Yes, yes, he is quite the creep. Aren't you glad the principal finally decided to do something?
And the birthday is just a little filler to make things calm again ;)
I'm just praying I haven't left in horrible typos without your usual corrections xD Chance is there are quite a few.

Holy smokes. Hello. I am finally commenting again. XD
Wow... so much has happened. This briefly turned into a drug cartel story before taking them back to average high school. lol. I love the change-ups in this story, though.
But yeah, things got intense there for a minute, with that meet-up with Mickey and Annette. Hmm... wonder if she'll come back into the story again. Feel like things were a bit unresolved, and with that woman's authority, it wouldn't surprise me if she tried to track down Mickey or something. :O
But it was interesting learning more about Mickey's past. Just wondering if there will be even more coming or again, if some of this drama will follow her.
The teacher was finally caught! Thank goodness. What a creep.
Hmm, and then this latest chapter got to Alex's birthday. ;)
Sorry, I feel like this comment is so extremely vague... it's just been a while, and there's a lot to possibly comment on. But know that I'm finally caught up! Woot! Sorry it took me so long girl, I feel terrible.
You're still doing an amazing job with this. Don't stop writing. <3

@Newyork_xo
I feel like her standard line is 'I've been through worse', which makes me wonder what the worst actually was. Like, honestly, I never even thought about a possible scenario. I mean, I always thought as the drug overdose as a very big thing that changed her outlook on drugs (hence why she refused to do them at the bonfire). But what really was the worst worst? It's pretty interesting...

Awesome that you got to meet him. It's always a nervewracking moment you hope you don't fuck up xD

It should have been 100% acceptable especially since it was self-defense, but I was trying to make her and Alex think about all the things that could possibly go wrong. Victims are only now starting to get taken seriously, and often they still don't. This is back in 2005, which isn't that long ago, but things were still quite different. She'd get in more shit for punching someone than somebody trying to assault her and only getting to the bare minimum. Plus, there wasn't much concrete evidence other than a phone call. With Mickey's criminal record, she was bound to be screwed. They did the best they could as two teenagers.

@aweirdkindofyellow
Yeah- I didn’t assume that “I’ve been through worse” immediately meant other acts of sexual assault, just other shitty things in general - which is almost worse because sexual assault is quite high on the shitty list. Poor Mickey. :(

I’m obsessed Shawn’s entire new album. I’m kind of late to the party with him. I’ve liked all the singles he’s released but I didn’t allow myself to commit and listen to his full albums because I didn’t want it to become a thing, lol. I caved and listened to the new one and now I’m all in. I actually saw him live last week and got to meet him... That didn’t help haha.

Anyway, back to the story - I’m just glad their plan worked out and Mickey was able to control herself enough to not get herself in trouble too... But then again If she did end up knocking the teacher in the face with her purse (or fist...) it should have been 100% acceptable given the circumstance. But with Mickey’s luck, you never know. :( Well actually - you do since you’re in control of it lol

okay, I’m rambling... byeee!

@Newyork_xo
Now people can't keep asking me about what happens with him xD And I can't constantly have things going wrong, especially with Mickey's character development. As for her having been through worse, it does not necessarily mean sexual assault (although that wouldn't be a surprise if it has happened before). Mickey often tends to group everything bad together. So, she'll think that being stabbed was worse and make this seem like less, you know? It's like a coping mechanism for her.

I like a few songs on the album, but I had to warm up to them. There are others I really don't like, though. I do have a weird relationship with Shawn Mendes' album. I'll find a song from somewhere that I like, then I'll listen to more songs, but it makes me super uncomfortable? I don't know why xD Some people just have voices that do that to me. But I get why other people love his music.

Good, they finally got this issue taken care of. It was risky but thankfully it didn’t end in disaster like most thing with these two do. I don’t like how she says she has been through worse. I guess that’s to be expected with a girl who’s got a past like Mickey but that doesn’t make it suck any less.

I havent listened to Panic’s new album yet. It’s in my list though. I have a lot of new music I haven’t gotten to because I can’t stop listening to the damn new Shawn Mendes album
:-I lol

@Newyork_xo
Of course Mickey will brush it off. She won't show vulnerability in front of people. She already let her guard down a lot around these people, but that doesn't mean she's cool with them knowing everything. The facade has to be kept up.
We all know Mickey hates hospitals xD Her mom works at one, and now we also know the whole overdose thing.
This entire story is about Mickey's growth. She occasionally bounces back, but it never regresses the progress too much.
Based on what Mickey said, it seems like she won't know what love is until she gets her heart broken. But this is a fanfiction. Hearts don't ever get broken in fanfictions ;) Especially not in mine. Not at all. I love my super cheesy happy endings, right???

Oops, somehow I missed the chapter before this. :(
Only Mickey could go and get herself stabbed and try and brush it off like it wasn’t that big of a deal.
Smart thinking on Alex to take her to the hospital. When I was reading the part where Jordan started stitching her up at his apartment I was like uhhh, is anyone going to suggest a hospital?? Haha

and the whole overdose thing is scary! I like that she opened up to Alex about the whole thing instead of just getting angry with him for butting Into her privacy. #GROWTH

and this whole “do you believe in love” thing? Come on, Mickey! We can all see you love Alex! It’s tome she notices too!

Welcome back! I can wait to read more. :-)

@Newyork_xo
I think she's gotten herself into more trouble than gotten the others in trouble. And she either obviously forgot that promise she made or she is in some really deep trouble.

It was great. I even got to met a couple of the band members, but had to leave before I got to meet them all. They're coming back here already in November, but I have no idea where I'm going to university, so I have to see if I'll go to that or not.

Damn Mickey! What kind of trouble has she gotten them all into now? I’m quite scared and excited to find out..

How was the State Champs show? They’re not coming around here for a while except for Warped and ugh, I don’t want to go there, lol.

lol, oh, I forgot about the difference in measurement. Hmm... sounds about right. XD

@Nanook
I'm 180 cm which I believe is also 5'11".
Gotta appreciate the writer's choices. Never mention what hasn't happened, but always mention why they have what they have done. Sometimes an easy way to figure that is out by wondering what would have happened differently. And that's a load of bullshit xD My exams are starting in two weeks, so I'm practicing my BS tactics a couple more times.

OMG, I'm tall too! Relatable! XD 5'11", haha, what about you?
:O
Hmm... idk, it's really hard to say. lol, I love how we're theorizing the "what-ifs" even though the actions already happened, so... XD Like you said, we'll never find out.
And lol, I was wondering why I had like, 4 comment notifications. XD
