Some cryptid photos of Vessel (+ ii) that I've collected over the past week. The fact that almost all of them look like they came out of trail cam footage is absolutely sending me

#add a grainy overlay and the date and time text from an old camcorder and I think I could convince someone it *is* trail cam footage #the fact that this odd pose where he's got his arms out with his fingers spread is a common part of his dance routine makes me giggle a lot #like you go you funky music man #there are so many photos of ii out there where he legitimately just looks like he's either edited into the photo or -> #an actual creature of the night as well #this is just my favourite because he looks so insanely out of place #if anybody has an editions feel free to add! I'd love to get a good giggle out of some more crypid photos #sleep token #st #vessel #vessel sleep token #ii sleep token #mel's rambles #cryptid token #1k

Quirks i’ve noticed Sleep Token Members have

mind you, this is things i’ve just noticed from from the concert videos i have caught out of no where

Vessel

big stomps

flaps arms and hands when hes dancing

scrunches his face in photos with flash

squeezes himself with an arm to calm himself

II

broad stance

almost always wears vans

right eye is slower to open the his left (hes just super sleepy)

III

flicks his hands

brushes his hand over his head trying to “smooth back his hair”

pants are always regular length and never tall length just so socks are on display

head bangs like his hair is out

thumb holes in long sleeves (hes just like me for real)

loosy goosy dance moves

looks like he would punch you if you acted wrong to someone hes close to

IV

hood up almost always

40 year old dance moves

palms not painted purposfully

sassy/saucy body movements

adjusts the soft mask A LOT

props up guitar with his right thigh during the summoning solo

i feel i missed a couple but thats okay!

(i do indeed know that some of these are for technical reasons and such but i just notice them and want to write them down)

it wore a tattered coat of wool..

in an unfortunate turn of events (i am stupid) you're now seeing the vessel creature after the iv one. this one was the first one in the lot and thus the one i played safe with design-wise

ive also inverted the fishbone creature and found it kind of cool

worship.

When I first got into Sleep Token I didn't get Vessel's dancing. It feels really, really mean to say it now but at first I felt like it rode the line between silly and cringe. (Vessel, I'm so sorry, that was mean of past-me, I'm telling the story of why I no longer think that, big warm hugs if you want em!)

Then I read something - was it Revolver? I think it may have been Revolver - that said something like "he moves as if he is physically burdened," and I started to be able to see that. I started seeing his movements as more... like the music physically affects him in a way that he can't resist.

And from there I started to see it as more spiritual and ritualistic. Somewhere between "Sleep is in control of his body" and "this way of dancing is so ancient it predates nations"

And then.

A couple nights ago I was home by myself, recovering from a migraine, lying on the floor in the dark, listening to Sleep Token. Y'know, as you do. I had already cried a few times. I had already been singing along a few times, including while crying.

Then Alkaline came on. And I don't really know what came over me, but I kinda got up on my knees (not enough spoons to stand all the way up to dance) and I was just sort of...

singing along and letting the music move me I guess?

And yeah, I was basically doing a low spoons, on my knees, moving around, swaying and gesturing while I'm singing kind of thing... and I fully get why he dances like that now. Like, I would have done the walk and everything if I'd felt physically well enough to be on my feet dancing.

So, Vessel, if you're out there - I get it now. I've felt it, I totally get it, and I think it's wonderful. Dance on, and dance like only Sleep is watching.

(source) YouTube video + more goblinman Vessel below the cut 😉

This is the only video I could find of this concert, and it is flashy as hell. I almost decided not to add it to the post until I watched around the 0:32 mark when Vessel grabbed his water bottle 😏🖤
