as a Many Live Shows Of Band Attender… would you like to give us some Beloved Memorable Live Show Moments (loosely structured as a “top” five if you so choose) (i had ee in mind when asking this but feel free to include duncles or whomever as well)
LIVE SHOW MOMENCEEEE let's GOOOO
no reptiles at jacaranda baltic in liverpool on the mountainhead warm-up tour. 450 people in a little blue-tinged basement going absolutely mental. at one point jon growl-yelled FUCK off-mic because the energy was just So. waaaagh
no reptiles manchester night 2 of mountainhead tour proper, where jeremy took his in-ears out and stared out at the crowd singing back sort of... stunned? appreciative? i think about it a lot
pre-show in leeds when @shallowtboy and i started chatting to this kid and his older brother and all trying to decipher the setlist together with the power of iphone zoom (said kid also yelled PETE! I LOVE PETE when pete came out to do his set-up stuff and OH it made my night. you and me both brother)
general point: the fact that alex always seems to be smiling about something or other during the beginning of your money, my summer. not sure what that's about but it replenishes my soul nonetheless
tin (the manhole) at exeter phoenix, because it just IS, isn't it
BONUS: the time at dutch uncles in nottingham when panto pete pointed at me accusingly from the stage, of COURSE

it’s really actually starting to tangibly hit for the first time that i won’t be going back to college in a week or two, i don’t have to pack up all my shit again and move back on campus again, i don’t have to wake up a few days later and drag myself out of bed filled with anxiety and haul ass across campus in ~90 degree weather and just pray that i walk fast enough or that the buses are reliable for once, i don’t have to go through introducing myself to a class full of people with my name and pronouns and therefore marking myself as The Trans One in front of a bunch of strangers, i don’t have to get used to a new routine and then repeat it for months until the end of the year when i reach my breaking point because it would be finals and i would be realizing just how fucked i am, i don’t have to worry about deadlines or assignments or writing papers or reading shit i don’t want to read….

My advice for "last year/last quarter/semester" is to start taking pics of your favorite places around campus! Your favorite study spots, your favorite people, even favorite barista. I left university almost 5 years ago now and I'm really glad I did. It's so easy to forget stuff like that.
I saw this right when you sent it but was rushing to the environmental science deptartment's faculty + needed to rush to class so i couldn't respond >w< (and then brain was drained so...)
definitely started taking pics of campus!! unfortunately, most of the people i was fond of have already left thanks to either graduating ahead of me (if things went according to plan, i would've graduated back in 2019 lmao) or because they had to find new jobs while campus was on lockdown thanks to the backstreet boys reunion tour >.>;;
it feels super weird to think that i won't be coming in there as a student at the end of the month? i have to apply for an alumni card...
