[dunderbread]

do you have a favorite OC /OCs of yours?? and why are they your favorite ?,,,,,,,???

very difficult question because I have lot of ocs, a lot of them somewhat half-baked/recycled. but I'm gonna have to say emmet, i haven't talked about it much but he's got a very well-rounded backstory/personality imo. sad enough to be likable, bitchy enough to be fun. then again I drew a little doodle to go with this and realized to my horror that I have a glaringly obvious type when it comes to the characters I like so. um. uh.

emmet espouses the wonders of the “o” method

[dunderbread]

how does paiton feel about front image vice versa??

front image don't get super famous until 1973 and Paiton's been topping charts since 1968. so front image are all fans of her in varying ways (brie thinks she's hot, chester thinks she's hot and talented, emmet is super jealous of her (and also thinks she's hot), and Bert...thinks she's so cool but doesn't think she's hot. wonder what that says about him 🤔). as for paiton...she has no idea they exist and if she met them she'd probably forget them.

[dunderbread]

gimme a fun fact (a secret) that no one knows about emmet *swallows him whole*

technically the fact that he's very much autistic counts because not even he figures that out until like, the 90s. deeper than that...his most embarrassing secret is that he used to wet the bed and didn't stop until he was around 15-16 don't tell him I told you that tho

[dunderbread]

Are emmet and bert in a relationship? *0* Their designs are so cute!

emmet and bert are. oh boy. yes they do eventually get married but that's in 2004 after decades of "you're my closest friend yes we somehow keep sleeping together but that doesn't make us gay. but I would die without you". you know how it is with 70s musicians.

[dunderbread]

btw my ship name for emmet and bert is embert but in-universe their ship name in the fictional front image fanbase is lariesling

TELL ME ABOUT FRONT IMAGE!!!!! *eats and bites ur ocs* *places them in a little box and shakes them*

Front Image

"Front Image was an American rock band formed in New York City in 1969 [1]. Their original lineup consisted of lead singer Camembert (Bert) LaRue, guitarist and songwriter Emmenthal (Emmet) Riesling, bassist Brie LaRue, and drummer Chester "Cheddar" Donovan. Originally a thesis project by producer Roquefort Lang, the group is often colloquially referred to as "Fromage" due to the band’s name and the fact that each member is coincidentally named after a type of cheese [2]. Their musical style evolved greatly over the course of the band’s career, from psychedelic surf-inspired rock in the late 1960s to harder rock in the 1970s. The group infamously struggled to find commercial success until the release of their 1972 album "Jackal and Hide" and their joint "Victory Lap" tour with British rock group Idle Warship in the summer of 1973 [3]."

Personal Relationships

"Riesling, Donovan and Bert LaRue have been friends since childhood. Says Bert: “It was nice having Emmet and Chester around because I knew I could always rely on them. They were the only two people who I thought saw me for who I really was: a scared kid from California who’d just had to leave half his family behind. We had this thing we’d do where we’d “play band” with Chester’s uncle’s old stuff, and I guess that started evolving into something bigger. By the time I recruited my sister to play bass for us, Emmet was churning out lyrics basically every day. I think we knew we were on to something good, we were all just too scared to realize it” [12].”

“Speculation about the nature of the relationship between Riesling and Bert LaRue was confirmed in 2004, when the pair were married in Massachusetts after it became the first U.S. state to legalize gay marriage [13]. The two had reportedly been close for years beforehand, but were notoriously closed-off when it came to rumors about each other. Says Riesling in a 1982 radio interview: “Everybody wants to snoop all the time, that’s the job of the press is to snoop. When you’re a well known person they think they have access to your entire personal life. Bert and I are close and have a good relationship – what more do you want?” [14]. Prior to the announcement, Bert had publicly come out as gay in 1986, and the two were confirmed to have been living together in an undisclosed location.”
