And maybe 

I'll see you

sneak preview

You'll show up 

and walk by

And I'll smile 

and you'll wave

i saw blink182 yesterday and honest to god i can’t believe blink fans were booing fob for opening for them back in 2009 because like blink sucked live LMFAO like i had fun or whatever but had i paid more than what i paid for my ticket ($20) i would have been very unhappy. Like. lmfao

[sparkleemojiii]

right so, all the new recently released blink182 songs, they’re about tom and mark. like every single one of them. is all gay shit and i am so here for it. i mean. ‘one night stand’ ??? ‘do you ever recall we fell in love so well’ ‘was it a date? i think i misspoke. cats got my tongue in the back of my throat’ ??!!!! i can’t.

How likely do you think each former member of patd would be to go on a reunion tour in like 15 years

Literally in the emo history book I hate so much the producer for Fever said he talked to Jonathan Daniel who is the head of Crush management or whatever about how Brendon and Ryan “still could be” a band as big as Queen or U2. I couldnt believe nobody else posted about that. To me this indicates that people who manage Panic have at least thought about bringing Ryan back into the band to rehab Brendons career. However. I dont think Ryan would ever be capable of this. Its possible when theyre like genuinely elderly like Blink182 but I honestly think ryan is prob still on drugs

THE MUSIC YOU HAVE IN TWEEKS PLAYLIST IS SO 🤭🤭🤭 LIKE IVE NEVER MET ANYONE THAT KNEW BLOOD FOR BLOOD

I honestly don't remember when I discovered Blood for Blood, but I think I might have my former boss (he'd get annoyed and say he wasn't my 'boss' 'cause he doesn't like 'bosses and never wanted to have nor be one; For context, he wasn't really my boss, I was self-employed, but working at his tattoo shop) / fill-in father-figure for a bit, a longtime friend of mine, to thank for that. That man is honestly 100% self-made and has an ethic and ethos I can really look up to and respect. We're also both into Madball, and I recently went to one of their shows. He couldn't go, due to ongoing cancer treatments.

Me and another friend of my former boss (actually, the co-owner of that shop I was working at), spoke with the band, got them all to sign a shirt for him and we brought it to his house the next day. He was super touched. Great group. We'd only asked one band member to sign as the rest were busy packing up gear, and he suggested he could go and get the rest to add their autographs, we were super grateful.

Also, I 100% get that frustration of never meeting anyone who likes/knows what you like and know. When I was a teen, the definition of 'hardcore' had slipped, and to me, it was still bands like Blood for Blood, Madball, Biohazard, Agnostic Front, Fugazi originating from the movement started by 7 Seeconds, Minor Threat, Black Flag, Sick of it All, etc. I saw Terror (which I like) as like, the band bridging how I defined hardcore to how kids of my generation defined it.

To the kids around me, it was this stuf with like, a lot of 'Woah-oh-oohs', in the midst of screaming. My whole view of it was 'it's a'ight, but that's not my scene', and I was often disappointed (and eventually disillusioned) when kids were like, "oh, I like hardcore too!". Over the years, my follow-up question changed from an enthusiastic "Oh awesome! Wanna go to a show? Wanna obsess about this Bad Brains album with me" to a bored, "Oh yeah? So like, what bands?" To which I'd hear Stick to your guns, Underoath, Silverstein or whatever else was popular at that time.

I ran into the same problem with kids saying they liked punk too. They weren't talking about Discharge or Subhumans, or Thulsa Doom, or Conflict, Descendants or NOFX. They meant The Used and Blink182, Rise Against and whatnot. I was utterly confused and felt born 20 years too late for real.

I was just...well, I longed for a more precise vocabulary to become more widely-used so I'd stop getting my hopes up/getting frustrated about the fact we really weren't talking about the same thing. I was a teenaged musical elitist, yup. A real fuckin' snob. I'm more open-minded today but it was disappointing and disheartening, only really finding like-minded musical peers among people at least a decade older than I was.

So, in contrast, meeting people who actually liked what I liked was always so exciting and felt really validating at a time when I felt as though there was always a barrier to being understood by my peers, and to connecting with them on a less than superficial level.

You didn't ask for that full analysis and I regret having overthought and rambled, but I typed it so you're getting it, I guess. Sorry?

& Thanks for reading the fic & I promise to update soon. Life's just been kicking my ass recently but it's okay, 'cause I just remembered I can kick back.

Also, I just realized maybe I rambled so much because the upcoming chapter explores some of those themes with Tweek finding it hard to find common ground with kids his age as well. So, maybe?

Anyways. THANKS FOR READING IT AND BEING PATIENT ON UPDATES.

& HMU if ever you wanna chat music or whatever else.

[decemberthe7th]

Fair to say, I can't go back.

Fave song from them in the One More Time Era. Sums up pretty much the end of a cycle and the begining of the next in all ways possible. Absolutely in love with this mfkers.

[kinardsevan]

Remember when I mentioned that master list on the playlist? I wrote it

“I’m Ready For Something” Playlist Breakdown

As noted yesterday (time got away from me lololol), I have an entire playlist (I posted it last week) that I consider relateable to these two, or who have inspired writing in some form or another. Figured I’d break that down. 

Also, I get that country isn’t really most people’s jams…but I’ll make note of specific lyrics where I can. Finally, I’m working on ordering these in some semblance, but we’re not quite all the way there, especially as the playlist grows.

There are also songs currently on the playlist that I didn't yet include here because I'm not sure about them remaining on it.

Alas: 

Song:On My Way To You

Artist (Album): Cody Johnson (Ain’t Nothin’ To It) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: This could really go both ways, but I really hold this one in regard for Buck. 

Noted lyrics: “all the boats I’ve missed/all the hell I’ve caused/all the lips I’ve kissed/all the love I’ve lost/I’ve been kicked around/I’ve ben black and blue/on my way to you” // “every curve, every ditch/every turn, every bridge/I left behind me, up in smoke/every fork in the road/it was all worthwhile when I finally saw you smile” 

-This one feels kinda obvious to itself, but it feels like a precursor to the entire relationship.

. . . 

Song: First Date (cover) 

Artist: Taylor Acorn (First Date - Acoustic) [Originally by Blink182) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: 90% Buck/10% Tommy

Noted lyrics: Literally every damn line in the song. Y’know, minus the disaster ending of their first date. 

. . . 

Song: To Hell & Back

Artist: Maren Morris (Girl)

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both. But also I still apply this one a lot to Buck. Although the discussion of “some was coming off my jacket” does alude to 706. 

Noted lyrics: “smoke was coming off my jacket/and you didn’t seem to mind” // “you didn’t save me/you didn’t think I needed saving/you didn’t change me/you didn’t think I needed changing” // “I wonder how you treasure what anyone would call a flaw”// “When my demons come a’callin, you don’t even bat an eye/ I don’t scare you, and I guess that’s why” 

. . .

Song: Your Arms Feel Like Home

Artist: 3 Doors Down (3 Doors Down)

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck, straight up

Noted lyrics: “there’s a life inside of me that I can feel again/it’s the only thing that takes me where I’ve never been” // “it don’t matter where I lay my head tonight, your arms feel like home” 

. . . 

Song: Daylight Artist: Taylor Swift (Lover)

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck

Noted Lyrics: “it’s morning now, its brighter now” // “I don’t want to look at anything else now that I saw you/ I don’t want to think of anything else now that I’ve thought of you” // “now I see daylight, I only see daylight” // “I can still see it all in my mind/all of you, all of me, intertwined/I once believed love would be black and white, but it’s golden”

-This is one that could really in some ways be the whole song, but the noted lyrics are what strike me most.

. . .

Song: Feels Like This

Artist: Ingrid Andress (Good Person)

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck

Noted lyrics: “I thought I knew what, I knew what love was/Guess I didn’t know at all” // “it’s funny how I used to make excuses, excuses as often as I breathed” // “Ive been to pretty dark places, stuck in toxic situations, but you taste like security, and that’s new for me” 

-I’ve kinda noted that this one gets me a little teary because regardless of your feelings about B/T, this is so accurate for Buck in general. 

. . . 

Song: Arms

Artist: Christina Perri (lovestrong.) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Honestly, Tommy? But also Buck. 

Noted lyrics: “you put your arms around me, and I believe it’s easier for you to let me go/you put your arms around me, and I’m home” // “I hope that you catch me, cause I’m already falling” 

-This one can really go back and forth. I could disect the entire song to each side, but I’m too lazy for that. 

. . . 

Song: Edge of a Thunderstorm

Artist: Cassadee Pope (frame by frame)

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck!? 

Noted Lyrics: “I’ll tell you now, I’ve never felt like this//the touch of your hand, the thought of your kiss” // “maybe I’m gonna get swept away, I’ll worry about that some sunny day/cause I can’t wait to taste that rain” // “so right, the way you look at me/feels like something’s coming” 

Song: You Are The Reason

Artist: Calum Scott (Only Human) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: …

Noted Lyrics: I mean the whole song, but also… 

I go back and forth on this one. I mean it’s still a sweet love song, but it’s a little much. I’ve considered removing it, but the chorus does fit…a little. 

. . .

Song: If I Told You

Artist: Darius Rucker (When Was The Last Time) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both. There’s so much lore in this song that could be investigated

Noted Lyrics: Basically the whole song, but: “if I told you all the stupid things I’ve done/I’ve blamed on being young, but I was old enough to know, I know” // “if I told you I barely know what love is, but girl if that’s what this is, I don’t want to let it slip away” 

—I honestly just try to ignore the gendering… 

. . . 

Song: if you’re not the one

Artist: Daniel Bedingfield (Gotta Get Thru This) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Tommy 

Noted Lyrics: “I don’t wanna run away, but I can’t take it, I don’t understand/if I’m not made for you, then why does my heart tell me that I am/is there any way that I can stay in your arms”  

-this one resounds with me a lot around 704/705. We can clearly look back at the end of 703 and see that there was a shift happening now, and I think as we move into 710/s8, we’ll see some more of those shifts. 

. . . 

Song: You And Me 

Artist: Lifehouse (Lifehouse) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both

Noted Lyrics: “its you and me, and all of the people” // “I’m tripping on words, you’ve got my head spinning/I don’t know where to go from here”// “there’s something about you now, that I can’t quite figure out” 

. . . 

Song: Love You Again

Artist: Chase Matthew (Love You Again)

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both

Noted Lyrics: “tonight I’m gonna love you like I’m never gonna love you again” 

This one really made it in as something to write romancy/sexy stuff to. 

. . . 

Song: The Other Side

Artist: Jason Derulo

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both

Noted Lyrics: “tonight, take me to the other side/sparks fly like the fourth of July”//“tonight, kiss me like it’s do or die, and take me to the other side” 

Refer to the previous song in the list

. . .

Song: never til now 

Artist: Ashley Cooke, Brett Young

Buck/Tommy/Both: It’s a duet. So both. 

Noted Lyrics: The whole song

-I feel the chorus fits both well, but you can also extrapolate both sides of the songs to each of them as well. 

. . . 

Song: Holy Water

Artist: Brett Eldredge (holy water) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck

Noted Lyrics: “you are my holy water/you are my river deep/wash me away and take me higher/something ‘bout your love just sets me free” 

. . .

Song: conversations in the dark 

Artist: John Legend (conversations in the dark)

Buck/Tommy/Both: both

Noted Lyrics: The entire second verse

This is another one of those that comes across better as something to write to.

. . . 

Song: Black

Artist: Dierks Bentley (Black)

Buck/Tommy/Both: Tommy

Noted Lyrics: “make my world go black, hit me like a heart attack/knock me flat on my back” // “I swear I don’t know how long that I can last, make my world go black” 

-sexy time writing song 

. . . 

Song: Brand New Man

Artist: Brooks & Dunn [with Luke Combs] (Reboot) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck

Noted Lyrics: “I used to love ‘em and leave ‘em, oh I’d brag about my freedom” // “baby you and me together, feels more like forever than anything I’ve ever known” 

. . .

Song: prayed for you 

Artist: matt stell 

Buck/Tommy/Both: tommy

Noted Lyrics: “I’ve never been one to ask for help/if I need a mountain moved, I’ll move it myself” // “every single day before I knew your name, I couldn’t see your face, but I prayed for you” // “on the highway to hell, I prayed for you” 

. . . 

Song: Champagne

Artist: Cassadee Pope (frame by frame) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck

Noted Lyrics: “it’s been hours now, haven’t had a drop, but this feeling won’t stop” // “you’re my champagne, baby you go straight to my head” // “Words trippin, heart skippiin’, one look and my world’s spinnin’ out” 

. . . 

Song: From All Sides

Artist: Lights (Little Machines) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: both

Noted Lyrics: the whole song. 

-just another good song to write to. 

. . . 

Song: skydiving

Artist: Lights (Skin and Earth)

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both

Noted Lyrics: THE WHOLE DAMN SONG.

-I know she didn’t actually write this whole song about sex, but it listens that way 

. . . 

Song: Wanted

Artist: Hunter Hayes (Hunter Hayes: Encore) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Tommy

Noted Lyrics: “everything that don’t make sense about me/makes sense when I’m with you” // “I wanna wrap you up, wanna kiss your lips, I wanna make you feel wanted/I wanna call you mine, wanna hold your hand forever, and never let you forget it” // “anyone can tell you you’re pretty, and you get that all the time, I know you do” // “I wanna show you what I see tonight” 

-cheesy ballad aside, there’s something to be said with this one in relation to how Tommy views Buck and treats him, especially in relation to the people Buck has been with in the past. 

. . . 

Song: Kiss Me Slowly

Artist: Parachute

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck in the verses, Tommy in the chorus

Noted Lyrics: “I can you there with the city lights, fourteenth floor, pale blue eyes, I can breathe you in/two shadows standing by the bedroom door, no I could not want you more as I did right then, as our heads leaned in” // “hold my breath as you’re moving in, taste your lips and feel your skin” // “when the time comes, baby don’t run, just kiss me slowly” // “and it’s hard to love again, when the only way it’s been, when the only love you knew, just walked away” 

-someone who created a bucktommy video to this song reminded me of it, and it’s been one of the biggest sources of inspiration for writing any kind of fluff around them. 

. . .

Song: I Want Crazy 

Artist: Hunter Hayes (Hunter Hayes: Encore) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both

Noted Lyrics: “I don’t want good, and I don’t good enough, I want can’t sleep, can’t breathe without your love/front porch and one more kiss” 

I mean the concept of the song is kinda the direct opposite of their (so far) very stable and normal relationship, but it’s the cheesy falling in love aspect that I think fits. 

. . .

Song: The Good Ones

Artist: Gabby Barrett (Goldmine) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck

Noted Lyrics: JUST THE WHOLE DAMN SONG OKAY. “Anybody can be good once, but he’s good all the time/he’s one of the good ones, and he’s all mine” // “you’ll know him when you see him by the way he looks at me/you’d say he hung the moon, I’d say he hung the galaxy” 

-THIS ONE MAKES ME UGLY CRY 

. . .

Song: From The Ground Up 

Artist: Dan + Shay (Obsessed) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both

Noted Lyrics: “we’ll build this love from the ground up” // “it’s all of me, all of you, just take my hand” 

. . . 

Song: Yours

Artist: Russel Dickerson (Yours)

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both

Noted Lyrics: “I came to life when I first kissed you/the best me has his arms around/you make me better than I was before/thank god I’m yours” // “empty pockets at a roulette, always landing on lost bet/ just live for the spin and hope for the win, go all in just to lose again”//

-I think this one goes both ways on different lyrics. For instance, you can really apply the chorus to Tommy, while the noted line about roulette really fits Buck. 

. . .  

Song: I Think I’m In Love

Artist: Taylor Acorn (Certified Depressant) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck 

Noted Lyrics: “you got me feeling things that, that I have never felt before” // “you came in without warning, straight knocked me off my feet” // “I don’t wanna fuck this up/maybe it’s a little too much/but I think I’m in love” 

. . . 

Song: Die A Happy Man

Artist: Thomas Rhett (Tangled Up) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both 

Noted Lyrics: “if all I got is your hand in my hand, baby I could die a happy man” 

. . .

Song: Lay By Me

Artist: Ruben (Melancholic) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both

Noted Lyrics:  “I hope you know through the rising tide, that I’ll be here, and you can lay by my side” // “you can rely on me you know, when this town is locked and closed” 

-This one is probably the most somber song on the entire playlist, but I’ve loved it for a few years now, and I think it solidly fits what we know about Buck’s trauma, and even a little bit of Tommy’s. Also I feel like it will fit solidly with 710.

. . .

Song: Hands To Myself

Artist: Selena Gomez (Selena Gomez) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: …

Noted Lyrics: just the whole song. 

-You already know. 

. . . 

Song: H.O.L.Y.

Artist: Florida Georgia Line

Buck/Tommy/Both: Tommy 

Noted Lyrics: “you’re holy, holy, holy, holy/I’m high on loving you” 

-There are also parts of this song that really fit Buck too, especially in the verses

. . . 

Song: Great Ones

Artist: Maren Morris (Girl) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck

Noted Lyrics: “I didn’t sleep alone, but never felt more lonely”//“ I tried for song long to get it right, but, you get it so wrong until the right love makes you realize that there’s a one and only” // “lightniing in a bottle doesn’t happen twice” // “you just fell out of the sky, blessings come when you don’t even try” 

. . .

Song: You

Artist: Dan + Shay

Buck/Tommy/Both: 

Noted Lyrics: 

-This is one of those that doesn’t really fit a certain way, just has a vibe that makes me think of them. 

. . .

Brief life update:

I’m back at work next week and have terrible anxiety/mixed emotions about it

Got to a 3rd round interview for another job and haven’t heard back which tells me I didn’t get it but it was days ago and they should just confirm it for me already

Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) is currently punching me in every single feeling I have

We got tickets for Feb which is nice considering I dropped $$$ on a dress before she even announced the tour

Also got tickets for Blink182 and Rise Against

Did I mention the pit in my stomach about returning to work?

[lemmings-to-the-sea]

I had some banger blink182 posts back in the day but nobody appreciated them :( maybe I’ll repost them here at some point

[am2c]

What are you grateful for in 2023?

What achievement are you proudest of?

What are your goals for 2024?

(Personal, fandom related, or otherwise)

Happy New Year ✨

@curiousnonny

Hi curiousnonny!

I think last year was normal except for 3 things,

I traveled to Japan and this was a dream I had from 7 years ago and after 2 failed attempts I finally did it and it was the best trip of my life and I can't wait to go back

I went to Calakmul, this was a dream I had with my mom and that place was so beautiful and so majestic

I got published once again in Typism and I'm very proud of that

My goals is to keep practicing 3D, animate in 3D an make more 3D lettering

And one thing I'm looking for in this year is to finally watched Blink182 in concert after they postpone it for a year

[ripempezardexerox]

blink182 is back babeeeyyyyyyyyyy

no more nostalgia no more pleasse i beg the elites I beg the ones in charge please I'm tired I'm exhausted no more ghosts

Live Report: When We Were Young Fest 2023 (October 21, 2023)

Live Report: @WWWYFest (10/21/23) Hot, overcrowded, yet still worth it thanks to all the pop-punk greatness @BigPictureNYC @greenday @blink182 @GoodCharlotte @NewFoundGlory @Yellowcard @Goldfingermusic @GymClassHeroes @AllTimeLow @Thrice @RiseAgainst

A year ago, I was still bitter. I had bough tickets to When We Were Young Fest 2022, booked two nights at the Sahara, driven out to Vegas that Friday, and prepared for a great weekend. Instead, high winds canceled the day I had bought tickets for, made laying by the pool miserable, and attempting to get into any of the pop-up shows was near impossible. I drove back to Los Angeles that Sunday…
