May 10th marks the one year anniversary of...
The day I fell in love with this peculiar individual. Let me explain...
See one day I was just lying up in bed watching YouTube and minding my business. That's when this video popped up in my feed
Now mind you around this time I was kinda dipping my toes into KISS and the fandom in general. I was vaguely familiar with the members of the band. I was like "Oh yeah that's Gene, right? That's the guy who pukes up blood and sticks his tongue out."
I watched it. And something about Gene's eyes in that video put a terrible spell on me(And that's when the trouble started I think 🤣). And then I was like "Yeah I'll watch some more. Why not?"
I think this was the first time I had heard Gene's "Demon" voice and I immediately melted into a fangirly little puddle when I heard him speak. Every "Oh yeah?!" a Cupid's arrow in my own heart.
Also that one part where he just stops playing his bass and he slowly looks around at the audience while he's just COATED in all that fake blood 🫣😖🥵
But that wasn't enough. Now I knew of Gene "The Demon" Simmons' existence, I needed to know more. I needed more!
So I took to Google and YouTube. I saw what he looked like in 1983 when they took off the makeup and I was like "Wow! So that's what you were hiding from us till then?! You should've took the makeup off sooner!"
I saw what he looked like in the 90s during KISS's Revenge era. I've said it before but at first I didn't care much for the band's look during this time. But I thought Gene still looked daddy af(Just as I do now lol).
I saw some clips from Gene Simmons: Family Jewels and I watched and read some interviews, etc. Moment by moment, second by second, I was falling for this strange old man.
And then I said to myself "I gotta look at the fanfiction in this fandom."
I got onto AO3 and looked through the Gene Simmons/Reader tag. I read "The Man With The Smoldering Eyes"(I absolutely adore Hillsofuhhhtennessee's portrayal of Gene/Demon in all of her fics actually.). I read "Dolls". I read "Great Expectations". By the time I was done, Gene was already living rent free in my brain.
And now here we are. Looking back, I wonder if it was ever possible for me to resist his devilish charms?
Then again, I would've never met any of you wonderful people, my mutuals!
