sorry if you didnt want to talk more on this, feel free to ignore my ask, but honestly its so heartbreaking to me. i clown on him sometiems (lh) but hes genuinely such a sweet guy who tries SO HARD to do well and be good? yes he makes mistakes and im not against actual criticism but i feel like for other things people are just SO salty about his sudden rise to fame that they dig for literally anything to hurt him over. the whole "kittens" ordeal made this very apparent to me /1

cont:

also when people on twitter look at him doing actually good stuff, i.e. donating to important charities or raising awareness for BLM cases n people will go "ugh look at this scum trying to farm brownie points"??? okay so you want him to NOT donate or raise awareness? w/e dude not to white knight a white guy but its awful n hes so young n he says it doesnt get to him but sometimes you can tell it really does. im proud of him for staying strong but i hope he knows he can back out if he needs to

sorry for ranting a bit in your inbox. i appreciate anybody who talks about this. i hope you're having a great day and that things will calm down for him soon ❤ /3 (lol i used up too many characters to add a /2 to the last ask, mentioned BLM tho)

no worries at all, i don’t mind talking about this more! i love ranting about stuff when it’s in regards to dream, i could talk about him all day and idc if that makes me a huge simp haha! he’s just a very interesting person to me.

the kitten thing was ridiculous. i immediately understood what he meant, and i didn’t think anything of it so i was so surprised to see his next tweets trying to explain himself. he really just said he loves his fans and all people took from that is that he’s trying to call them kittens? like how on earth do you twist those sweet words into something weird and sexual? people are just so bORED I don’t understand....

in regards to BLM yeah i am very annoyed about that and the whole thing is a double edged sword. he speaks up about it and people attack him for like trying to get sympathy and empathy and ‘brownie points’. if he kept quiet, he’d be branded as a racist and uncaring person. dream has such an insanely massive platform and i find it incredible that he uses it to speak up about important issues as much as he can. that’s exactly what i meant when i said no matter what he does, good or bad, it will get twisted.

i really hope and pray more than anything, that everything he’s doing right now is worth it for him, and i’m so sad that he has to face so many negatives when he does so many good things, not just for us but many other people out there. he definitely doesn’t seem like a quitter, and sometimes that worries me even more that he’d fully ignore his own mental health in order to keep his career going. i wiiiiish there was something more we could do, i guess i just really wish that he’s happy :’) god i’m such a simp LOL

thank you for the lovely messages!!! hope you’re having a super lovely day too! :)

For me, I find it extremely funny how I could’ve been active in the new mcyt fandom way earlier if I wasn’t petty. I saw my first dream video when he was at around 300k or so? Idk exactly but I remember he was under 1 Mil so it was like late 2019. Anyways I was going through a “mad at the world phase” because I was going through a particularly rough breakup from a two year partner and I saw one of his videos on my recommended and I watched it and liked it so I watched the rest of the vids on his channel but I never subscribed because the whole “according to YouTube statistics” thing pissed me off. Idek why, like I said I was just pissed at the world lmaoo but I basically forgot about him until I saw an animation on my recommended like in April from tweekbr0s (the soldier, poet, king one) and I’m like wait.. these designs look kinda familiar... so I did some digging (aka looked at the description) and found his channel again after months of not remembering it. And I’ve been a dteam simp since /lh anyways not sure where I was going with this but I guess Im just really proud of all of them and how far they’ve all come and I’m excited to see what the future has in store

I mean to be fair I get annoyed whenever other people do that whole “please subscribe” spiel so I don’t blame you for being petty haha. Part of me wishes desperately I could’ve been a part of the early fandom and experienced all the early stuff but idk. I discovered them all around July and just like a couple months ago actively started getting involved in fandom culture. And yeah it was animations that got me *really* into it, like beyond just the youtube videos. (idk if i’ve seen the one you’ve referenced but i will check it out). it was honestly sadist’s first war animation that got me into the smp and watching the streams and stuff

and I could probably write an entire novel addressing that last point because YES agreed. even though i don’t consider myself an OG fan i kinda joined right when they were getting huge and it’s been so so so cool to see their growth. and their growth TOGETHER! like sapnap and dream live together now, that’s just the best thing ever. and yeah the future holds so much more, i’m so excited. excited and proud :)

#this was a fun ask i love receiving a ramble and then rambling back #ask tag #i have just oh so many thoughts rolling around up there #in conclusion i love the dteam

somebody sent me an ask on what i think about linhora and i took an hour to write a stupid long post

i think i know why u sent this. although i am going to bed soon but i will be honest and clear here.

i'm a big fan of revo's older collaborative work. i think dream port (with yuki kajiura) and schwarzweiß (w/ shimotsukin) are phenomenal. his commercial work from over 10 years ago, as well, has some of my favorite pieces. endia and the knights is my favorite sanhora song next to historia-- and has been for like, my whole nearly 8 years as a laurant by now. revo took an opportunity for quick cash to create a beautiful creative work that ties into his larger narrative, which is cool. i also like his creative work outside of SH in general. i even love his stuff from back when he was just "g-san", like his FF remixes and experimental pieces. i like the music he and aramary did for the netrun-mon movie. i even like their eroge music work. it's beautiful, creative, and fun, and most importantly, enjoyable. so that is all to clarify i am not solely against revo working outside of SH, even though SH is my lifeblood, my reason for living, in all seriousness.

however, i have some issue with the work he has put out under the linhora name. i was, at first, interested and intrigued in him doing game music, because his music and story inspirations are 99% video games. alongside that i really genuinely love bdff (i played over 100 hrs on my first file alone.. ) and the music.. the bgm and luxendarc albums are big favs of mine, still. i have no qualms against it. the team putting his royal outfit in there for ringabel was a huge plus, too. although when the game came out i had little interest, i've found myself appreciating it immensely as time goes on.

there is also the case of sailor moon crystal. the song is fine. i dislike the style of vocals (lol) so i don't care about it. good on him again for making music for something i'm sure he adores, but nbd for me.

the real stickler, here, and i'm sure the reason for your inquiry, is shingeki no kyojin. i thought it was cute, at first, how invested and passionate he was about the whole deal. i heard guren no yumiya dozens of times, in public, discussed among normals, and praised all over the place. i watched the anime. i hated it, lol, we'll get to that. overall i did not like the song, however. i thought it was poorly thought out and cheap. poppy. poorly mastered, poorly realized. guren no yumiya, for me, was a failing of revo to demonstrate himself creatively through commercial work.

now, sanhora is not perfect. i am not stupid. revo is not exactly a genius when it comes to experimenting and creativity, at times. the same rhythms, progressions, and structures plague SH immensely under the guise of metanarrative and theme. his music is made to be catchy to a certain kind of person. however, i do not listen to sanhora for a complicated, intellectual musical experience. i listen to industrial and math and experimental drone, for chrissake. i have better things to do with my time than pretend that revo's music is anything outside of entertainment. however, i have noticed (alongside many other laurants) that his music is harder to enjoy than before LH. it is different. it's changed. revo changed.

here is the thing. guren no yumiya was made with the intent of being heard millions of times by millions of people. it subverted the usual tropes of anime OP music structure. in the end, however, it ended up as a distilled version of everything i think revo believes people like about his work. it's bombastic, and weird, and interesting, and has a lot of western structure and instrumentation. and i think guren no yumiya skyrocketing him into common tongue changed him.

jiyuu no tsubasa was better. it was completely forgettable. he made the OP to the shingeki school anime. completely forgettable. he made the new OP. straight up? it's bad.

main dig: i don't like how, instead of LH being an opportunity for revo to bring his SH style into a different audience, he brought confluences from LH into SH. and i hate it.

haroyoru is fun, but bogged down by theatrics and technicalities (really? referencing every album? even future ones? ordinal numbered horizons?). i adore noël but banisuta is a mess. yodaka is unbearable to listen to nowadays. mother was a necessity to treat our desperate need for the past. interview with noël is a fucking nightmare, a disaster. and again, i love bebo (& again, noël), but i haven't listened to nein in a year. what will rinne be? if it'll be like this, why are we waiting? that similar desperation?

LH makes me upset, and frustrated. i love, love, love how it brings people to SH. i love my close laurant friends that got here through linhora. i do not blindly hate it. but linhora is hurting SH. either that, or, god forbid, laurants are-- we are hurting, and we are cruel for this frustration, so it hurts. and laurants do not want to accept that maybe we have harmed it. we are nervous. but anyway.

i know why you asked this. the politics.

i believe you are the same individual who has asked as much to my friends in recent weeks. if not, i apologize, but it is a contentious topic. here is why:

isayama is a xenophobe, pro-imperialist, and overall terrible human being. also he draws bad lol. many laurants are people from nations that have been negatively affected by imperialism, especially in recent times, and especially by the former empire of japan. isayama spreads his exclusionary ideology through militaristic imagery and major themes. as far as i know nearly every character is white aside from mikasa, who is japanese, and she is a problem in itself for another discussion. isayama clearly worships the idea of a culturally western, homogenous militaristic system fighting against disgusting, malformed, grotesque invaders that kill and destroy everything in their paths. it's propaganda, kids.

revo has written so much about anti-war and anti-discrimination that it is basically his calling card now. one of the first SH songs was about the brutality of war and loss. a subplot of moira is how a powerful system that oppresses people can seem morally just to those it serves. märchen (by the extension of conquistadores) is literally built around the concept of war as unjust but eerily human.

seamus was literally a cog in an imperialistic war machine bent on wrenching the traditional lands of a people out from under them for financial gain.. reflecting the history of the irish people as a group (ethnically, linguistically, and culturally) continually attacked and threatened by early imperialist advances manned by soldiers from the isles themselves. seamus was ashamed of his roots because of ingrained cultural disdain towards the irish, curated by the descendents of invaded brits themselves. the cycle repeats.

revo understands these things. he gets it. he's smart. shingeki no kyojin, thusly, is the antithesis to his very. goddamned. creative. existence.. and i am uncomfortable with that. is it because i know he's helped push isayama to popularity with his music? or that he says/does nothing about the inherent politics of being a japanese man, living in japan, promoting a series made by a japanese man in japan about (mostly) white supersoldiers that kill destructive invaders and also says that koreans are subhuman? are we upset about that? about what that says about SH? does it make its purpose moot? or does this prove it in its own disgusting way-- that life is unpredictable, and cruel, and that those you trust may in fact be spreading harm of their own under the guise of creative expression or, dare i say, culturally ingrained moral liberty? it hurts to think that he doesn't care.

because he cares so much about other things. he really loves SH, as hurt as we may feel. he donates a portion of proceeds to charity. he got visibly, and audibly upset at the news of a western fan he never knew before just learning she had died. he cares. but, for this? or LH? the only thing he cares about is his image, and the money.

once he made fun of visual kei bands quite nastily, post release of some SH album, banisuta or nein. but looking at him now, all i see, is his apathy. no one can really stay by his principles forever, and celebrating revo as a monolith would be a dire mistake. but all this just hurts. so i hate LH, truly, dearly. and nothing will ever bring back the SH that was supposed to be without it. nothing can remedy that. that's all.
