Ruffilo Stories

Ryleigh "Rye" Torres, guitarist of Petal Riot, believes music should be earned, not built on hype and aesthetics. That's why she refuses to care about Bad Omens despite her bandmates' obsession. But when late-night conversations with someone unexpected begin turning personal, Rye starts questioning everything she thought she knew about music, fame, and herself.

(COMPLETED) Raphaella Arcega never meant for anyone to see him the way she did -- quiet, distant, lost in his own world as he waited at the airport gate. She was just passing time with a sketch, the way she always did, tracing the outlines of strangers who would never know they'd been captured in ink. But this time was different. Because the man in her drawing wasn't just anyone -- he was Joakim "Jolly" Karlsson, guitarist of Bad Omens. What started as a simple sketch turned into a ripple across the internet, and soon, a message she never expected arrived in her inbox. One conversation led to another -- soft, careful, hesitant. Like guitar feedback humming in the background, their words lingered long after they were sent. Somewhere between lines on paper and strings of music, between sketches and late-night messages, two worlds began to weave quietly together. And maybe, just maybe, the noise between them was never noise at all. It was harmony waiting to be heard.

(COMPLETED) Aniela Miracle Galero lives for calm -- acoustic playlists, quiet cafés, and a life untouched by chaos. Tattoos? Too permanent. Rock music? Too loud. But one night at a Bad Omens concert, dragged there by her best friend, she catches the eye of Nicholas Ruffilo, the band's bassist and tattoo artist whose world is built on noise, ink, and rebellion. He calls her Amira, a name only he uses, and soon, the loudest person she's ever met becomes the one who listens the most. In a story where silence meets distortion, and softness collides with chaos, they'll find that some connections aren't written in words... they're carved in reverb.
