thinking about split dyeing my hair

[jamiemaybeme]

stream left, right goodnight! now to have a good day

[jamiemaybeme]

the monster that inhabits my body (dysphoria)

dysphoria

it claws at my stomach

begging to be noticed

it thrives on my discomfort

feeding from my upset

it consumes me

its long tendrils grasp at me

whenever someone calls me she

it strikes, a blow to my chest

i've tried to turn it off

tried all i can to ignore it

but still it claws its way out

still it stays

i can try to convince myself it'll all be fine

when i have the freedom

to be called my name

to alter my body how i want

but it convinces me i'm wrong

tells me i'll never be happy

i'll never have the money

i'll never be recognisable

then i go to church

i look for hope

i am happy in my identity, finally

until you crush it

again, i convince myself to wait

one day i'll find a church that accepts me

one day......

one day...

i ignore the feeling as best i can

i pin my hopes on the future

i try not to think about it

until you tell me it's wrong

and make me wish i could kill

the monster that inhabits my body

I have a new creation that i must share with you all... Introducing SNAIL TAPE

This is originally based on a 90s magazine pattern I found, which I just had to try.

However, the pattern wasn't quite right; it turns out that scotch tape dispensers used to be quite a bit slimmer! So i tested a few changes, and below is an up to date pattern. With added antenna of course!

(This fits standard scotch tape dispensers fairly snuggly, so if you want a bit more room add some width to C.)

If you make one please attach a picture, so we can see the snail army grow...

welcome to the new era:

success is unlikely.

our new single is called Left, Right, Goodnight! and it is out everywhere this thursday.

presave it here.

i need you to know that is era is everything to us. nothing has felt as urgent or as cathartic or as needed as this. from now on, there will be nothing except this and us and you and me and everyone else willing to dream a dream as large as this.

thank you. see you soon.

one year ago today, we released our second debut studio album.

how to build an ocean: instructions is an album concerned with detachment and subsequent reattachment to the people you hold close. it is an album about finding home in unfamiliar places. it is an album about falling in love with the city you grew up in.

most importantly, it is an album for you and for you alone.

to celebrate the anniversary, iain has created an epilogue documentary chronicling the aftermath of this album. a part two to the album documentary, chronicling a process that was flawed in all the right places.

you can watch that by clicking on the link here.

the future is bright.

thank you. bears in trees forever.

it's been a whole year since how to build an ocean: instructions by the one and only dirtbag boyband @bearsintreesofficial was released!!! how and what!!!!

as we approach the Next Era i wanted to do a drawing to commemorate everything that's happened in this one. this is maybe my biggest drawing ever and i've put a lot of thought into it and it has soooo many references to the past era in it!! so i'll explain all those under the cut :))

i love this album so so so much and i hope this drawing conveys even a little bit of that!!!

i took everything i knew about the themes of the album and tried to distill it into one piece. the band's mentioned that the album is themed around coming home, reconnecting with your hometown, feeling lost and not really knowing your place in the world. so they're stranded in the middle of the ocean on a boat and trying to navigate their way back home!! haha. it's based more directly on a line from idwba - "when i step onto that ferry, and the man demands his pay". initially i had the boatman charon in the drawing too, but i ended up taking him out as it was kind of confusing!

i wanted it to have a kind of whimsical, fantastical vibe so there's a tree growing out of the boat. why? just for funsies!! on a qna i asked what the band thought the biggest visual symbols from this era were, and they answered maps, the ocean and scrapbooky vibes, so i've given the ocean is a big feature in the drawing. that's what the album's named after!! . callum and george are reading through some maps (callum's are screenshots of croydon on google maps or OS maps of the croydon area, and george is holding the map from the album cover). for the scrapbook vibes i've made a version that looks a bit like a scrapbook page, and a regular version as well.

over on iain and nick's side there's the cake callum baked for the baby shower announcement stream. there's a vase full of daffodils like from that one photoshoot. there's the banner they used to announce ttllm on tiktok, dj l8 nite kitten's head from the iwfc mv, and iain's infamous jleeves. there's two books in front of nick: flights by olga tokarczuk, which the album is named after, and the myth of Sisyphus by albert camus, which is referenced in injured crow. iain is drinking coffee with a raven flying above them whilst nick drinks hot chocolate, and there's also a crow with a bandaged wing - an injured crow, if you will :)

beside callum and george there's the giant mechanical skull callum gave to george on stage, the wizard hat nick had on tour and the bubble gun from the seaside tour. there's also George Jr, the raccoon hand from the spill the beans challenges on the subathon, and the chillies which were also from the subathon. there's also a can of chickpeas. this one's a funny one because iain actually told me to put it there themself! not even a joke!! i asked for an object to put in the drawing and they said a vase (which holds the daffodils) and a chickpea. i drew a can of chickpeas instead because a singular chickpea kind of just got lost in the drawing.

on the back wall of the boat there's a number of engravings. behind nick there's a bike for cycling, jaded - a song that was meant to go onto htbaoi but never made it - and a line from your favourite coat which was used as a clue for the arg leading up to the album announcement (thanks to @asherapparently for sending me that!!). the engravings on the far right side are the lil ghost from the ttllm music video, and the boatman taken directly from the album cover. i mentioned before that i had to omit him from the drawing so i thought i'd pay homage to him here.

finally, there're paper aeroplanes from your favourite coat, confetti for all you get is confetti, and the sign says '463 miles', like the bus route mentioned in henry says. on the side of the boat are a number of photos taken from instagram & twitter posts from this era, and the symbols from the album cover and the back of the vinyl are engraved onto the side of the boat - each one representing a different song. the streamers tied to the tree are in all the colours of the album.

bears in trees if you see this - your album is beautiful and wonderful and i love it dearly!!!

[jamiemaybeme]

sad poetry time!!

'i wish this was about my parents'

i know it's the bare minimum

but i love that you respect me

i know it's a low bar

but i love that you care

i love how you use my name

you don't question if i change

even if you don't understand

you do it because it makes me happy

i love that you listen to me

and you don't tell me to shut up

not even playfully

and when i'm done, you ask questions

i love that if i draw a boundary

you won't be upset at me

i love that you listen

and that you actually respect it

i love you and i love that you love me

[jamiemaybeme]

i love my friends so much it's hard to believe what the fuck i adore all my friends so much aaaaaaa
