top 5 favorite dm facts 👁👁

1. dave being the one to bully alan into playing the drums <3

2. the boys having these little concerts at hotel bars where it gets progressively worse as they get more drunk sjfksjshdkak

3. alan's sofad kidney stones (which i learned in a very jarring way bc of andy and which, whenever anyone brings up, always is an amusing thing. prolly not for alan though 😭😭)

4. fletch being the member most popular with the lads (that story where some hungarian dudes brought a banner that said "give me pleasure little fletcher" and mart breaking down when he saw it. also ofc that saturday superstore video)

5. alan's football blog. nerd.

#i really said lets put three alan facts omg thats so crazy of me #kinda wish i knew more interesting stuff but alas my brain has only limited capacity #the most obscure things i know are just from the recoil editorials and thats it and i prolly dont even remember them well now sjfksjhakskjh #thank you saph! #songsofgayanddevotion #💌

dany if i were you id be watching what i said about dave because certain lesbian might pull up anytime to defend his dumb ass

is this about the abomination he did with his hair in 1985? if so i’m not afraid to fight everyone, even lesbians. i can even excuse that blond mullet thing he did in early 1984 shown in the master and servant mv but i draw the line at that ridiculous attempt of scruff plus black or *shudders* full bleached hair!

#fight me i'm not afraid (ง'̀-'́)ง #songsofgayanddevotion #dany answers

An Appreciation Post for DM fanartists

Can I just make a mushy appreciation post for all the insanely talented artists in our fandom? I know we're a small community but I never fail to get shocked by the talent here. A big massive, massive thank you to @pinksyndication, @songsofgayanddevotion, @what-could-have-been, @shinybrandon and @maiyashu for all your blood, sweat and tears in producing all this amazing art for us to enjoy! As someone who can't draw and always causes my friends to lose when we play drawing games, I need to express my admiration for all artists out there, and for creating this artwork for our fandom!

Keeping my ramblings under a cut, but please read more for links to my favourite artworks of theirs:

@pinksyndication

Mo, Mo, Mo, Mo, Mooooo. You've given us so many beautiful pieces of artwork and my Top 3 favourites of yours constantly shift because you keep producing stuff that makes me so excited and awestruck! Your work has character too: the humour in it, the little unique details we never see anywhere else, etc. My fave piece of yours is always changing, but today I'm going to go with your Ultra Dave striptease because saph and I were recently raving about it, but at the same time I recently fell so hard for your 50s Housewife Dave!

@songsofgayanddevotion

I will never ever forget when I first saw your artwork, especially the one of Dave and Striped. There's something in the sheer happiness in Dave's blushy face that made me tear up, and the tender way he's cuddling Striped? I feel like you understand Dave (the person) so well and it comes out in the way you portray him. I can't decide on my favourite of yours today either so I'm going to go with Dave and Striped as well as your amazing rendition of Personal Jesus Dave!

@what-could-have-been

You're an insanely talented artist (especially your work with plants and flowers) and I think I've rambled to you so many times about your gift for detail, how everything looks like it's been drawn with the utmost care many times over? I can always see the amount of care and love you put into your pieces. This one of Dave and Alan cuddling after sex will always, always be my favourite (although it is so hard to choose from yours too) and I also have a special love for (semi-NSFW) Dave and Alan in the shower too!

@shinybrandon

I think I have gone on and on about how crazy talented you are in our DMs together, but no harm letting everyone else see how highly I think of you, right? ;) It always amazes me that you can both draw AND write, and I still remember the loud gasp I let out when I first saw this artwork of Alan putting make-up on Dave. I think everyone has their different strengths, and yours is in the infinite amount of detail that makes the clothes and hair of your characters come alive and jump off the page. Again I'm torn between my favourite pieces of yours, so I will just go with both Alan putting make-up on Dave as well as your Ultra Dave showpiece!

@maiyashu

Our newest addition to the very talented and wonderful pool of DM artists! I think you have witnessed how my brain continually explodes, regenerates itself somehow, then explodes again! I really can't believe the amount of detail and emotion you put into your pieces, and something about them makes the characters come alive for me as well. Once again I cannot decide between your two Dave pieces so far: Dave having a tender moment with Striped, or (NSFW) Dave's beautifully arched tattooed back during, ahem, a moment with Alan.

[elektroblues]

for the album ask: unsound methods, playing the angel, and uhhhh rio 👀

Unsound Methods:

Luscious Apparatus

Red River Cargo

Last Breath

Bonus tracks favorites bc this album is absorbed into my whole being:

Drifting - Poison Dub

Stalker - Punished Mix

Missing Piece (Night Dissolves)

(LOOK control freak is the Absolute Love Of My Life but yall alr know that so those are my other three faves but honestly picking favorites from unsound methods is cruel i think)

idk how to express my love for this album without sounding deranged (well, even more now that I have an UM blog theme sjdhasksh) but every song is so perfect this whole album is a scary sometimes kinda hot always very intense and exciting journey. will make you gay. I should know it happened it to me. (ALSO ALAN IS SO GODDAMN RIGHT WHEN HE SAYS THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW YOU CAN FIND IN HIS SONGS I'VE LISTENED TO THIS SHIT SO MANY TIMES AND THERE'S STILL NEW SOUNDS TO BE FASCINATED WITH)

. . .

Playing The Angel:

John The Revelator

The Sinner In Me

Suffer Well

omg alright so this album is so special to me bc it's the first post-alan dm album i listened to and just FGDJFGSHFKDHKDJS??,$?$?,$*#(@ i Love how dm's sound evolved here. like they still very much have that Thing that made me love them in the first place but make it idk??? edgier??? also hello televangelist dave god bless this era and album

. . .

Rio:

The Chauffeur (possibly one of the most exceptional songs and music videos I ever heard/watched in any genre from any artist. Do I know exactly what it means? No. But someone said sometimes this song is just meant to be felt and I was like. girl yeah. yeah.)

New Religion

Save A Prayer

i'm sorry i honestly have no thoughts when i listen to dd but i remember when i first listened to it i thought damn nick popped off in this one

#concerned you picked um and rio which had the chauffeur which all helped me realize i was bi like girl. #anyway thank u beloved!!! <3 #songsofgayanddevotion #💌 #long post

[elektroblues]

I ALSO WENT INSANE FOR NOW THIS IS FUN THIS YEAR omg matching its so good .......

me n you when this shit rlly do be Fun ^_^

#our brainworms dancing to the same song peak romance i think #songsofgayanddevotion #💌

[elektroblues]

YES THANK YOU love your unpopular opinion about abf 🙏🏼 people truly think they were useless before alan when in reality they were rediscovering their image and people also forget this is their second album, none of them were professional musicians back then like. anyway abf slaps

i have nothing else to say this it ^

#I FUCKING LOVE ABF SO MUCH IT'S MY BABY HE'S PERFECT THE WAY HE IS I WILL BITE ANYONE WHO BULLIES HIM #songsofgayanddevotion #💌

[elektroblues]

omg..... people are bullying you for your new pfp but it reminds me of the album cover of angels & ghosts...... once again dave and alan together in superhell <3

beloved YOUR MIND

#am i gonna use this every time we mention dilder superhell yes i am this was hard to make shfkshshdkskhs #also rip to still seeing miss spxce as ??? alan HSHEHEUDJHEIDBEUE RIP #songsofgayanddevotion #💌

[elektroblues]

have you heard stuff from nitzer ebb? 👀 asking because faith healer and stalker were the pipeline for my recent obsession with this barking man and his band

just murderous and i give to you. why, are you asking for more recs or willing to drag me in too bc i will be very much into that 👁👁

#songsofgayanddevotion #💌 #if it's the former then I will be not much help hskdhjdkehshd

[elektroblues]

im gonna ask you the same question i asked miss spxce about which song would you have liked alan to sing bc im curious now 👀

frothing at the mouth just seeing this in my ask box am i predictable if i said "stalker". (speaking of that song i want to know who did the whispery talking bits bc it doesn't sound like douglas now does it 🤨 or maybe it is douglas and i have a bad ear sjfkshskdkshs). and someone needs to write "luscious apparatus" but through jack's perspective and have alan perform it. also maybe "curse" too, just bc i want a version where i don't have to listen to moby and lmao imagine alan rapping damn he's hip

#i forgot which of my mutuals said they want him for spoken word but god yes he'll get the bread with that #for dm i mayhaps want to hear him sing here is the house #thank you saph! xx #songsofgayanddevotion #💌

[elektroblues]

🐄🐄🐄 ❤❤❤

love wins <3 here's one to match your dave-looking-up-like-a-puppy pic beloved
