finally managed to make it all the way through listening to my icimi vinyl for the first time yesterday so here’s some highlights of how that went.
-it took me 3 days to listen to the whole album. there were parts i just had to replay and then other parts that i couldn’t stand to hear at that moment so i just did something else or went to sleep instead.
-that was another thing. music was so good it was putting me to sleep lol. (i am talking about side b!!!) (also didn’t help that i was already tired from work and whatever else)
-becoming the lastnames made me cry TWICE. i hate that song bc it makes me feel things :/ bc it really is an incredible song for a lot of reasons. first time was just in general. second time was when he hits that high note at That One Part
-bc i cried at lastnames i couldn’t cry at euthanasia. i always cry at that song, so that was actually nice to Not for once.
-pretty much for the rest of the time i listened to that side i wanted to cry but legit couldn’t bc lastnames had me Wrecked lol
-a day goes by and i Finally put the Other vinyl on the thing! half decade and vampire reference were just as good as usual. however,, i forgot that you liked this is the track After that. so hdh and vampire put me half to sleep and i just hear WELCOME TO YOUR PLATFORM. it was a whole jump scare and i have never ripped my headphones off faster. because of That i couldn’t bring myself to listen to it. fast forward to main character. much better.
-third and final day: against the kitchen floor made me cry right off the bat :) sex, drugs, rock n roll had me on the Floor (literally. this whole album is just blow after blow) AND THEN THE TRANSITION TO BFB MADE MY WHOLE DAY!! i forgot it was there but omfg i love that silly little song.. 47 seconds of whatever that is between all the heavy stuff was so nice i legit had to listen to it again before i could listen to willard! it was like the opposite of the you liked this transition lol
-white noise hit so hard at the end. i love that song but.. yknow Usually i don’t get silence after i listen to it and that was just. …hm. (in the best way)

"just move"
I can't always hold my gf's hand, but I can see the stars the way you never could in a city.
"just move"
When I was younger it would have been so, so much easier to keep going and plan for the future if I had even one example of a future worth having
"just move"
I forgot my 'what are you, a cop?' bag at the place where my gf sings for open mic nights and when I went to pick it up the bartender with a dyed mullet gushed about how she liked my queer pin like she was excited to meet the person it belonged to.
"just move"
In 2020 I knew every single BLM activist and protestor in our town by name there were so few of us, but when a pissed off racist pulled a gun out on our organizer I was grateful there were so many people.
"just move"
In the city I'd just be another person trying to be happy. I'd blend in better. You're right. There are more people fighting and protesting there, thats true that I could make a difference. Things would be better for me.
"Just move"
But then who's going to make things better here? For everyone else? Who's going to be part of the community and numbers that offer safety if I leave? How will this place Ever have safety in numbers like cities do if everyone like me leaves for somewhere better?
Who's going to move here and care and love about the community here? Who's going to replace all that love, time, and effort I put into trying to make this place better and safer for everyone? Who's going to give a shit about the little brown trans kids if I move?
"just move"
I don't want to. This place might just be some shitty conservative town to you, but this is my home and Im not letting bigots have it just because fighting for it was too hard. All things worth having are worth fighting for and that includes equality especially in the conservative towns directly fueling alt-right extremism.
If we can have progress in places like that then we can have it anywhere.
"just move"
You first

I think what I want to get into with the "Anyone can do harm." thing that I keep beating yall over the head with is that literally anyone, anyone at all can do harm it's not "in your DNA" to be an abuser or written in the stars that you'll be a predator.
Whatever image you have of an abuser in your head, drop it and replace it with your favorite person in the world and you'll probably be closer to the truth than you realize.
It's easy to address harm when it's coming from someone you already hate.
I see it happen all the time. Someone you couldn't stand for no real reason does something heinous then all of a sudden here comes the avalanche of "I always knew they were a fucked up individual."
No, you didn't.
There is no possible way you could have known, you just already didn't fuck with them before they started doing something you could use to justify your hatred of them. I'm guilty of it too! I'm petty, mean, vindictive, and yes! I'm way quicker to believe something bad about someone I hate versus someone I love because I'm human. Still, y all gotta learn to move past that initial "Well, they were always nice to me!" gut feeling and understand that nobody truly knows anyone and anyone can be capable of anything. Even victims. Even you.

We all know the semi-canonical ‘all the Robins know to hide/duck inside of Batman’s cape, even as adults’ thing.
We also know that Danny ‘is LITERALLY a ghost’ Fenton sucks at remembering his own intangibility while ALSO forgetting to look ahead of him.
All I’m saying is, Danny Fenton (or Phantom, if you’d really like) would absolutely SLAM into Batman on accident while running on roof tops and Bruce ‘Brooding Instinct’ Wayne doesn’t even think twice about letting the kid hide and scanning around for danger before there’s a record scratch of ‘wait who tf is this?’ kicks in.
