During the q&a yesterday someone asked the band where their oddest fan encounter was and geoff told a story about how when he and chloe were shopping for maternity stuff back when they were keeping it quiet & no one knew, he ran into a fan and had to play it off. And I kept thinking about that one anon that went on @waterparksdrama and was like “geoff and chloe are gonna have a baby” and everyone was like “yeah sure ok” and then we found out about rory and I’m like what if that anon was the person that ran into geoff??? Lol can you imagine??
PSA: no name is impossible to pronounce. no name is too hard to learn, no name is justifiably butchered. kids with 'different' names should be taught again and again that being called by their name is a right, not a privilege
awsten doesn’t like to go camping because of the time he went with jawn and jawn wouldn’t let him in the jawntent and he had to instead sleep in the awstent
We’re losing sleep within each dividend
& I want this relief but we keep sinking in
Love I’m lost but I’m found in your cold heartless gaze
Won’t you just leave this house, please don’t scream at my face
If we weren’t so alike maybe we’d work it out
but we’re stuck in this rut and my mind’s headed south
I’m addicted to you, would you please calm your tongue
‘Cause you used to be rad now I’m no longer sprung
Love I’m a wreck
Holy fuck
We’re losing sleep within each commonplace
& I want this relief but I keep hearing your name
Love I’m bummed but I’m glad cause you’re almost all gone
Would you just stay away? Can’t we just move along?
Love I’m a wreck
Holy fuck
Maybe one day I might see you around
& I hope that you’re glad cause I’m better off now
‘Cause we loved and we danced and we made quite the scene
Guess it’s just my romance, you were always so mean
oki gotta say, i’m such a fan of creators calling out toxic fan culture through their content. Watch What Happens Next genuinely slaps - maybe I’m biased but like, I like how they talk about how other genres are allowed to grow (ie. “hip hop making country songs”) but they’ve felt sort of stuck in the same box. pop punk/alt tends to do that, reject artistic exploration and deviation. and that’s whack, artists should be able to grow and change
i went back and forth on Turbulent (except for the last verse and outro, that shit slams) but this? i am so excited for what the rest of the album is gonna beeeeee
it’s still definitely Waterparks, no doubt, but like - i like all their self-aware songs and I’m glad it’s headed even more in that direction.
