alrighty I warned you I was coming. what was your first fandom? and what were you reading and writing?
When excluding actually being IN a fandom in a social space, I was all about Pokémon and Zelda: Twilight Princess as a kid!
But my active stages of being in a fandom online is...unusual. Because on Flipnote Hatena I saw some animations someone did that they called 'South Park yaoi' and it awakened my third eye (also known as 14-year-old egg Oliver) that shipping was a thing. Unfortunately when googling yaoi my first read fic was explicit. It shocked me a bit haha but didn't scare me off!
So I wrote for that for a while, then HP which we don't talk about and I believe my main fandom after that was WWE fic (not RPF exactly, I based it off the in ring personas). This was all across a couple years before anime and gaming fandoms crept into play.
this might be controversial but I've never understood why people dislike SAI, or see it as less musically worthwhile? tøp has always crossed genres and bucked tradition, and given us a new sound every album.
I really love how versatile they are! and it feels like we were genuinely being spoiled the entire album :') like, there's a perfect mix of absolutely heartbreaking songs (Choker, Shy Away, Redecorate, No Chances, THE OUTSIDE!!!!), and upbeat boppy songs with even more soulcrushing hidden aspects to them (Mulberry Street, Saturday, Good Day, Never Take It & Bounce Man)
I feel like they perfectly fit the aesthetic of cheerfully deceptive and dystopic, whilst also continuing their concepts from Trench and exploring them. I like the theme of like, maladaptive positivity that covers a hidden misery and darkness as the boys try to navigate being trapped in a hopeless situation, the critique on the current social climate of being hyperaware n information overload, and also all the MISinformation that comes along with it.
I feel like it's JUST as narratively interesting and complex as Trench was but bc there have been almost no theorycrafters talking about it, it didn't get nearly the love and insight it deserves.
I love you SAI, I love you dystopic societies covered by a chipping layer of pastel paint, I love you societal critique about being dragged back into the throes of depression and feeling as though society dresses it up in flowery language to make it more palettable to them, I love you boys who never limit themselves to one sound or genre and instead explore them all and push them to their limits and experiment and keep things interesting forever, I love you twenty one pilots
every day i say "wow there are so many new shows and movies and things that i could be watching that i'm interested in and haven't gotten around to yet" and then i go and i rewatch the things i've seen five million times
hey i'm not too familiar with these bands but i got into ghost because of you and your last post got me curious about rammstein? what do you mean with porn music video? lol??
HEHEHEH FIRST OF ALL 🤭🤭🤭 GOOD JOB ME FOR BAGGING ANOTHER ONE AND GOOD JOB YOU FOR HAVING TASTE AND I'M A LITTLE BIT SORRY ALSO
secondly i mean rammstein mein teil music video one guy was getting his Dick sucked irl on that set bc the director didn't want it to be Fake he wanted it to be REAL (girl this is not a movie you are directing a german industrial metal music video. it is not worth it) and i also mean most famously the music video for their song appropriately named Pussy can only be found like on the pornhub and the likes bc it's just the band members' heads edited on top of actors who were performing like a bunch of cliches from porn videos or whatever so it's just. porn. can't be on youtube !! + clips of the band performing the song dressed up in the coolest outfits they've ever wore at the same time bc usually at least ONE bitch will look like absolute shit. this was the ONE time everyone looked COOL. and it happened for the PUSSY MUSIC VIDEO. but then i also mean the? or one of the? music video(s?) for the song Till The End (not technically rammstein it's one of the singer's side projects or smth) which is just him having sex w The Girls but it's also like kinda depressing in some ways idk. anyway rammstein weird as fuck but also at the same time they can make music videos like deutschland which is an iconic beautiful stunning masterpiece so if i got you into ghost trust me take the leap and get into rammstein too. it gets better

I was tagged by the lovely @dripdropv thank you again love, it was fun to do it. Since I don’t have much kpop mutuals on this blog, it’s hard to tag someone. Maybe Lex ( @machikeita ) didn’t do it but if yes, sorry for tagging you. 🌸
