the new ask anything interview with andy is making me lose my fucking GRIP good lord.

he'd want billy joel to cover what a catch donnie (it's one of andy's favorite songs of theirs)

for andy, he doesn't feel like he doesn't get held back very much by fob's sonics, especially because he can go ham with fills and such live. "we all collaborate on songs, so it really is everything...it is each of us."

he thinks today's outfits are their best era lmao

his must-have item is his switch, his nintendo 2ds, or his ipad mini...or his crossfit shoes

wrt the 8ball songs: "i think the initial plan wasn't that every night would be a new song but it quickly became that way because we did like three in a row and it was just so much fun, people seemed to really dig it, and we really loved it 'cause we got to learn songs we've never played before, songs we've always wanted to play, songs we've only played once or twice, and you guys just seemed to love it"

the 8ball portion of the set is andy's favorite part every night because the crowd reacts so strongly and he has fun playing something new, so he thinks it's super rewarding for both the band and the audience!

27 was one of his favorites to play live! xo and pavlove too

he loves touring! "i love it, it's what i wanna do for the rest of my life, it's what i've always loved. i love being in all these different places in the world with my best friends"

he says it is hard to be away from home/family/pets and to break the sense of routine that way. "the band is family, so that makes it all worth it to me."

they learn the 8ball songs the day of, so they're the hardest to play. stuff from tttyg is hard because they were so early in his career but he says those songs are "kind of ingrained in me in a way" so he says gin joints might be the hardest. the hardest part was mostly just how many different songs/parts there were!

Hades and Persephone AU

-

The moment Billy found out that eating the pomegranate seeds would trap him in the Underworld forever, he chocked it down as fast as possible. 

Neil would never control him again.

-

Steve would question anyone’s sanity if they willingly bound themselves to his realm but he wouldn’t really stop them. 

He was far too lonely for that. 

-

Everyone would assume Steve to be the vicious and ruthless one. 

Everyone would be in dire need of correction.

-

There were few gods that tried to ‘save’ the beautiful Spring god from the evil clutches of the Underworld. 

They almost died and it was not because of Steve, the God of the Dead.

“𝙎𝙐𝙋𝙀𝙍𝙃𝙐𝙈𝘼𝙉“ is an artwork that I have done that is a cartoon girl in grayscale are used many techniques I have learned from other people. Like in the eyes, nose, and mouth are an art style I learned from doing anime style art before. I also learned how to create the girls hands even though I am still bad at doing freestyle hands in the realistic and cartoonish styles I do. I did grayscale as the color scheme so that the shadows especially of her nose could be seen and be a practice for in the future of me doing the same nose and other artworks. Overall, for my first artwork this style and in grayscale I love it and want to do more with different figures. ❤️

“Two foxes talking“ is an artwork of two foxes talking together about the fall weather. I have been on a kick of fall artworks because I like the season and I have gotten more art tools to help me create more artwork related more to the fall season. This artwork was created by a fox stencil to have a more realistic fox shape from what I've usually done before but I still made the foxes in the cartoonish style I usually do from the conversation they are having. The conversation has a pun because I thought it would be funny close up but probably not the best time for foxes. I should add white next time to add more of a realistic red fox vibe to my artwork so that others can tell that the figures are foxes without needing to look very closely up to the artworks of mine. ❤️

“H̆̈ŏ̈m̆̈ĕ̈m̆̈ă̈d̆̈ĕ̈ b̆̈ŏ̈ŏ̈k̆̈m̆̈ă̈r̆̈k̆̈s̆̈ “ are bookmarks I made because I didn't have many in personally like magnetic bookmarks out of all types. The Christmas one was the first one I made with watercolor it's not the best but for being the first one I like it a lot. The others are magnetic bookmarks are used more because they work better for any size book. Out of the four, my all-time favorite is the rectangle Sakura flowers bookmark for the design I did the best one out of the four. I also really like the way the flowers look. I have the materials to create more bookmarks for other books.❤️

“ⒻⒶⓁⓁⒾⓃⒼ ⓁⒺⒶⓋⒺⓈ“ is an artwork of leaves that are falling to the ground due to the changing season. Two of the leaves are having a conversation about falling from the trees. I created the leaves with stencils so the leaves will look more realistic from the cartoonish style form of leaves that I usually do. I have seen artwork online that put faces on objects so I wanted to make my own. The limbs add motion to my artwork to show that the leaves are falling to the ground. Their eyes are creepy with the white but I didn't want the leaves to just have black eyes like I originally planned. So that when I do another artwork like this in the future I know which aspects are good and bad to add to an artwork.❤️

Do you ever create artworks with a family member in mind. I have it is called “ᗷᑌTTᗴᖇᖴᒪY Oᖴ ᔕIᘜᑎIᖴIᑕᗩᑎᑕᗴ”. This artwork was created to represent my mom and my grandmother from my moms side. My first realistic butterfly artwork done with watercolor. Also being my first finished watercolor artwork without many mistakes. The meaning behind my  artwork is how animals can represent to yourself a family member you love. The background was more of an impulsive decision to not have a white blank background. Kind of like a 70s vibe with the bright and muted colors being red orange yellow and brown.To contrast with the blue butterfly as the focal point. ❤

“𝔽𝕒𝕝𝕝 𝔾𝕙𝕠𝕤𝕥s 𝕚𝕟 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝔽𝕠𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕥” an artwork of two ghosts playing in a forest during the fall season. Created after I voiced a want to create an artwork with two ghosts but didn’t have a background idea until I put the two ghosts on a piece of paper. The playing part is the ghost floating, pouring leaves on to the other ghost which was my second idea for my artwork. The paint and color pencil are the two media’s used. Next time I need to just do color pen and pencil so the black outlines don’t get as covered making the defined objects not as well seen by the naked eye. With the leaves also needing to be more shapes and size in the future for more detail.❤️

“ 𝐺ℎ𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑘“ is an artwork of three ghost all different types as a way to practice what type’s of ghost I like and is the best at drawing. Each has their own personality with forms and facial expressions. My favorite is the second ghost with the line eyes and circle mouth because it looks the most cartoonish ghost like in my style. The blank is to represent that cartoon ghosts are transparent when it comes to being in front of white paper. In spirt of Halloween I wanted to draw ghost for the convenience, simplicity, and variation of each one. I want to learn how to draw more ghost in different styles. So I can take that knowledge for other artworks later on. I could try to do animal ghost to change the shapes up.❤️

You know how in art classes the teachers has you do value of any kind. Well here is my firs real attempt at value that I use in some of my other artworks simply called “Value Sphere” showing light to dark value with the term’s used for each level of value on the sphere along with the light source and cast shadow. For my first real time doing value in this way I think I did well in blending each level together and working on the blending on how to make the highlight and light-tone blank paper and the light-tone being the lightest tone after which it is on the sphere but needs to blend better.❤️

«  Doodle Doodle » is a page of small artwork doodles used to practice rosés with detail and being able to draw with multiple color’s to make an object or figure out of them. I made a face in the end with the placement of each spot of color. I like this style and want to try it in more artworks for abstract effect. The small facial expression show how the main face with color could feel at any time. The colors don’t really fit together because they don’t really match and I don’t have a lot of colors that don’t repeat themselves. The spirals add a sense of confusion that the face figure is feeling. ❤️

« Pond Landscape » is a cartoonish landscape I created to practice thing’s like land, water, flowers, mushrooms, rocks, and grass, and bridges. All done in a small scale because I work better doing small items than big for less detail. All the artworks I have done have items that don’t need a lot of detail on them. The problem with small scale is, I can’t really do realism drawings of objects. I want to do more big scale in the future only focusing on one object in a drawing. I didn’t add green to the landscape as a background because to me that would take away from the objects on the grass because I only have dak Green markers and watercolor pens. The materials I used were markers and watercolor pens to add texture to the foreground, middle ground, and background. ❤️

“ Flowers of many” is a drawing of three flowers all made from coloring pencils and watercolor pen’s. Each flower is a different color and size for variety of not being the same thing on the same page. The stems and leaves were added to the red rose first as a way to experiment on how the leaves would look in different ways. This artwork was my first time adding full color onto drawings of flowers I have done. My favorite flower is the rose out of the three, because I have had practice on how to draw a rose the way I do with a frontal view of a rose. I like doing more cartoonish drawing’s of flowers more than realistic one. I found that for myself going the cartoo route gives more way’s to add on more details to the flowers like bugs or more petals.❤️

“ Woman in the dark” this is my first color pen person drawing. It was another practice of the face anatomy mainly of anime character’s. I was mainly focused on the eye feature’s on the woman. The gray is to enhance the color of each feature making them more neon. The artwork started with the gray already in a figure shape. The body is not finished because it was not my main focus just there to add on full figure. The orange it the eye’s make it the focal point of the face because it is the brightest color. I have done many figure’s with the same sturcture but in muted colors that don’t add on the final product like the neon colors do.❤️

“ Galaxies in the Universe” is the first ever artwork I have done when layering paint on top of eachother to create colorful and dimensional galaxies. I did two with a white background and one with the black background I made. Where the darker colors like blue and purple don’t show up as must but add to the outeredges of the galaxy. I added shooting stars, stars, comets, and planet’s to make the artwork seem that this fake Universe has three galaxies close together without the thought of them crashing together. The fourth galaxy is another sample I did of the blackground that does not look as good but would love to re-create again.❤️

“ NASA color schemes” is not a fully done artwork but the plan of one the used the colorwheel. Each of the NASA logo’s are to have a different color schemes like monchromatic and split complimentary of colors. The artwork is inspired by Andy Warhol’s work known as pop art.Each part of the logo’s are different color’s like the split complimetary of yellow, blue violet, and red violet. Where the yellow is the letters of NASA, the backgrounf being blue violet, and the long two lines along with the stars being red violet. Looking back I want to finish this artworl with the art skills I have gained. ❤️
