Dina Tahiri. So which one is your favourite? Mac? Asked Juliet with a sly grin after the live stream cuts to the adverts. The three of us are now huddled under blankets, an array of demolished snack food surrounding us. Juliet has hooked her laptop up to the T V so we can watch it on a big screen. I don't even feel slightly tired yet, Rowan says. Juliet without any hesitation whatsoever. How come he's so protective of the other two? Says Juliet, And they're in the eyes while she's talking. I can see the Juliet who I have fangirls about the Ark with for the past two years on Facebook Messenger. He's like the dad of the group, which is adorable. Mac seems to think that she's joking or something. He nudges her in the side, not because you think he's attractive. I resist the urge to roll my eyes. It's obvious Mac has a thing for Juliet, sure, but does he have to be so gross about it? Juliet laughs, as if what he said is a very cute and cheeky joke. No. Oh my God! Shut up! She playfully slaps him on the arm literally. What the **** the Juliet I know would have probably made a throwing up noise and then asked Mac which one he found attractive. Juliette continues. Jimmy and Rohan are together anyway. There's no hope for anyone wanting to get into those pants. Jimmy and Rohan. Matt gives her a clueless look. Juliet and I both stare at him. Yeah, Jimmy and Rohan, Juliet says. Joanne, You know, Joanne. Oh, oh, yeah, of course. You meant together Together. It's impossible to be in the Ark fandom without knowing about Joanne, the infamous shipping of Jimmy and Rohan. It originated back in their YouTube days as soon as Jimmy and Rohan revealed the bearish details about their childhood friendship. Is it real? A. Jimmy and Rohan really in love with each other and concealing a secret relationship? No one knows. To be honest, there've been signs, convincing signs, a lot of them simply being the way they look at each other, the way they hug each other and look out for each other and stay by each other's side. I do ship Joanne. I'll admit it. I ship it a lot. Whether it's real or not, I think they love each other very much. I look at Mac and wonder how much he really knows about that side of the fandom. How much is he in the fandom, anyway? Does he check at our updates? Does he take part in discourse and theory discussion? What's his take on the Joan of Arc video? The suitcase conspiracy from two years ago? The bonus track theory? I could force his opinions out of him now, but I don't feel like it because the Ark will be performing in a minute, and I don't want to be in a bad mood. Angel asks Mac, his voice a little more forced. Who's your favourite? Definitely, Jimmy. Why, Jimmy? I smile sweetly and rest my chin on my hand. It's such an interesting concept to think about. I say people think boy band fan girls all just want to kiss the boy band boys and marry them and live happily ever after. Whereas if you actually asked a lot of the found girls, they probably wouldn't even say they had a crush on the boy band. Boys. It's a different sort of love, To be honest, it's an I'd probably take a bullet for you, but I'd probably feel a bit weird if we just start kissing sort of love. Add that to the fact that there's an extremely high percentage of LGBT Q. I A. Plus people in fandom, particularly queer girls, usually because it's a much more diverse and accepting space in real life. Then the percentage of fan girls who are just in it because list is so hot is actually quite small. And that's just one of the many things that outsiders don't get about fandom. Max Sly smile drops gradually as I speak. Juliet seems to have momentarily snapped out of her weird, flirty persona and is looking between the two of us, intrigued. So wait, you're *** or he asks. I laugh. He couldn't even keep up with what I was saying. Well, no, I say, even though I probably would go out with a girl. But I don't really ever get crushes on anyone, so I just don't know what I am right now. To be honest, I'm just saying there's more to fandom. Then I want to kiss a famous boy. He fidgets on the sofa. Oh, yeah, yeah, I guess so. So who's your favourite Mac? Who would you want to marry and live happily ever after with Juliet finally laughs and grins at Mac, who clearly looks uncomfortable. Mac then forces out a laugh and just says, Would you really take a bullet for them? The adverts end and an announcer comes on stage when he reads the name of the next act, the Ark. I feel a spike of joy in my heart, a stabbing burst of love and happiness that makes me feel like everything's going to be OK as long as our boys are in the world. Yeah, I think so, I say.
