Class Favorites: Masks and Concerts

Essentially I put on a mask like I do every time I leave the house and went to a few concerts this year. This was a really special year for me and concerts, so I won't necessarily be ranking them this go around, I'll just be speaking a little bit about each one, in the order of which I attended each show. And yes I did create each of those faux concert tickets. They're my babies and I love them so much. I do apologize for not making official concert posts for any of these, but best believe I will make a post for every concert I've missed sharing on this blog, in the future. Can't promise when, just know they will exist here at some point.

Gig For Gaza

Line Up:

Time/Calm, Church Fire, Stay Tuned, Team Nonexistent, Damn Selene and The C0 Palestinian Coalition as the Speakers.

When this event came across my feed, I was like this is perfect cause I have no general problem going to a concert, but have been nervous about going to in person protests and had been wanted to find ways to show up in person for Palestine. (Anxious Black woman alone in those spaces, I won't get into it.) I didn't know any of the lineup, but all the proceeds were going to the PCRF (Palestinian Children's Relief Fund) and after months of feeling like I was crying by myself (sans a wonderful person from work) I just wanted to be in a room full of people who were feeling the same way I was. I was also nursing a work injury at the time, so that was really my only reservation about going. The bill had a wide mix of artists and genres and speakers, some of which are even featured in this years playlists because of this show and how great they were. I wish I would have made more friends, but that's still difficult for me. Anyway the show was great, I met some great people/artists and supported something I really think is important. Free Palestine.

The Saviors Tour (Green Day)

Ft: The Linda Lindas, Rancid and The Smashing Pumpkins

I got to see essentially my favorite band of all time, play 2 of my favorite albums of all time; I can die now. This is what I call my go big or go home moment. Me and my mom, mostly my mom did this really cool red and black hairstyle on me, I brought out the OG merch and spent the most I've ever spent on a singular ticket, all just to have this one moment. If I never get to see Green Day again, I will be okay. The show felt too perfect and that's what is assumed I guess from arena tours, but maybe GD is just that good. The only "downside" was watching them mostly through mega TV's and feeling like I was being sold something, but beyond that I had a fantastic time. The Linda Linda's were really fun and Rancid was cool as well. I was getting merch and food when The Smashing Pumpkins played, sorry. Again, if this is it I'm good.

Out Of Office Tour (Something Corporate)

Ft: Zac Clark and Mae

In 2024, Something Corporate decided to get back together, make new music and give us a tour, the gift just kept on giving. The day I bought my tickets, I was putting in my test order to see how much tickets were actually gonna be and ended up telling myself just to do it. An hour or so later they were all so sold out, so it's a good thing to spend money when you're not sure if you should or not.

There is something special about getting to hear your favorite songs from a band live and I will never not appreciate that. If You C Jordan is just as good, if not better, in a crowd with everyone screaming all of the curse words at the same time. I met some really cool folks and just had a fantastic time overall. The only let down was the fact that immediately after the show my body decided to revolt against me and give me all of the sneezes and runny noes and watery eyes and I had to wait outside for my Lyft feeling miserable. I promise you I didn't go to the show feeling that way, the only thing I kinda felt was a little on the allergy side with some regular nose blowing that morning, but nothing that I thought would have prevented me from going to the show. I even took an Alka-Seltzer before the concert just in case. Anyway despite the sick, it was such a great show and I would go again a million times over.

Side note for something yall can't even see: I do apologize to myself for the outfit. Not saying saying I hate it, just that I felt like I was dressed to see ICP and not piano rock lol. I think at the end of the day, I just wanted to not be the physically hottest person in the venue, so I went with the shorts. I also kick myself because I own a pair of maroon low top converse, if you know, you know how much that one hurts. What's done is done though and I at least got to see the show.

Hope that was a fun read, stay tuned for more ACF 24 fun.

i have been trying to figure out why the whole 'fae god' and katniss everdeen things with kendrick lamar on here were bothering me, and i think i finally put it into words.

most posts like that are probably coming from well-meaning white people (i am also partially a White People, to be clear), who otherwise dont really listen to rap. they cannot find a way to 'relate' to this black man who sings largely about issues that affect the black community– and rather than try and meet him where he is, they have to fit him into these little tumblr cultural boxes before he can be 'palatable' to them.

they have to shave off the rougher/more abrasive aspects of his work and activism because it makes them uncomfortable, that way they can pigeonhole him into something that allows them to enjoy his work without the critical analysis that MUST come with it

he is not your fae god, he is not a YA protagonist, he is not a little gremlin or a cinnamon roll or a blorbo. He is a human being with opinions and beliefs that deeply permeate his work, and to ignore that truth is to ignore the entire point. PLEASE try to engage with artists' work outside of the lens of tumblr fandom, and i mean that as nicely as possible. you are doing YOURSELF a disservice

MOUNTAIN DEW RED!

[greetings-inferiors]

The "big three"'s opinions about trans people:

Drake: Doesn't see trans men as men, so uses being less masculine than a trans man as an insult (family matters)

J Cole: Only sees people as walking genitals, so says no matter how much a trans man says he's a man, he still has a vagina so his manhood is invalid (Pi)

Kendrick Lamar: We as a culture see femininity as a weakness, which is a big problem, because it leads to us welcoming trans men and shunning trans women. If a trans woman says she's a woman, why shouldn't I believe her. If a trans man says he's a man, why shouldn't I believe him. I've lived around trans people nearly all my life and they are some of the most important people in my life. When people use religion to justify their hatred towards trans people, I speak up in defence of my trans siblings, humanity is more important than religion. I also recognise that I've not been a perfect ally all my life, I've made jokes and used slurs that I didn't realise the harm of, and this realisation will lead to the emotional climax of my album (auntie diaries)

Can you tell which one is my favourite?

Truly when you have brain rot EVERY song can be about your blorbos.

I'm a lil unfamiliar with your puppet AU but there is something wholesome to me about how Ford is mad at the puppet and not Stan, or at least acts that way. He doesn't say "Stan stop being an idiot and using that puppet. I know it's you!"

No, it's more like "Stanley, stay out of this. This is between me and that muppet ass felt skin!"

Like??? He's playing along and it's so damn cute!!

I've done a lot of art for it but it's not my au!! The original concept was by @babyblankyerror and it was expanded by @aroace-get-out-of-my-face. (Both their posts on this au are an absolute delight to go through if you'd like to catch up!)

This au is so perfectly wholesome and silly, and it's just completely taken over my brain space (and subsequently what I draw). I mean Ford was so caught up in building a literal hate room for a puppet that he never even summoned Bill in this au, which is just so funny to me

The fact is that Ford genuinely loves Poppy Avenue (the show that Science Time with Dr Pine is on) but it's that damn puppet that gets him. He just cannot STAND Dr Pine, yet holds no resentment towards Stan for it. They're actually pretty close in this au if anything, which makes the dichotomy of Ford's rage even more hilarious.

I mean Ford is obviously aware of the fact that Stan is pupetting (is that a word??) Dr Pine, but his rage is always entirely directed towards the puppet.

And I imagine that when Ford recognizes Stan's voice when he's pupetting (???) other puppets on Poppy Avenue he's all "aw my brother," but as soon as Dr Pine comes on, he's immediately swearing madly at the screen or just barely containing his rage.

[During the Stray Kids pre-debut show] Minho: I didn’t understand why people care so much for their dumb friends until I got a dumb friend myself. Minho: *Picks Jisung up* Minho: I’ve only befriended Jisung for a day and a half, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and myself.
