people who date taylor swift or others like her at this stage are so brave it's not even about the songs it's just the ticking clock before you get Commercialized that would make me run for the hills

I become 300% more of both a lover and a hater when I'm on my period. just a time of the month when I have strong opinions I would say

i keep seeing people say "oh eddie would be x in a modern au" "eddie would be y in a modern au" and im ???

a modern day eddie would still be a metalhead dnd player who's probably read the LoTR triology more than once; he'd just also own all the movies and know a bunch of useless trivia about the actual filming and production.

he'd probably still be a drug dealer, still gets held back a year in high school, probably has a second hand phone with a cracked screen that he only uses to listen to music, skips class because his teachers don't like him, runs a dnd club either in the drama room or the art room, either forges notes to get out of phys ed or just doesn't show up, he strikes me as someone who enjoys the process of burning music onto cd's so he probably has a bunch of mixtapes in his glove box and steve would hate driving with him bc his car wouldn't have an AUX port or anything so he'd either have to listen to the radio or eddie's music

a modern day eddie would still be eddie, he'd just have the luck of getting to experience all the nerdy shit that comes out after the 80's and also modern technology

i will say with my whole chest that i hate what is happening with music marketing right now. i hate that a song needs to be a tiktok trend. i hate that one album is being released in 23 ways to trick people into buying multiple albums because there are different covers and different photos inside. i hate that one album is being rereleased multiple times as deluxe and then the super deluxe and then super secret version with one additional song just to make the numbers!!!!!! i hate that people without vinyl players buy multiple vinyls of the same album just to own them and collect them. i know no one is making anyone buy multiple versions of the same fucking album by putting a gun to their head BUT COME ONNNNN its all about the money and people and just giving into that!!!!!!!!

we need to go back to doing proshots like we did in the 80s. i can watch a professionally filmed version of Cats, Into the Woods, or Sweeney Todd whenever I please on a streaming service but Wicked has been running on Broadway for 20 full actual human years and if I want to watch it in the comfort of my own home I have to look up Evil Singing Witch Slime Tutorial on youtube and hope to god someone got a half decent view and the camera shaking is minimal

Hey quick question for my non-US followers, because I’m curious.

Ice cream trucks? Do y’all have the ice cream man? Or is that just an America thing?

[stuckinapril]

started listening to emotional oranges because of you & THEYRE SO GOOD?????? in love w their music fr

No they’re literally so good. Usually male-female duos don’t do it for me, bc the harmonization falls right below the mark & you just feel a certain synergy missing. That’s absolutely not the case w Azad Right and Vali Porter. Their chemistry in every song is literally insane. This is an actual case where the talent is off the charts & yet they’re criminally underrated 🥲

[faelapis]

this is relatively minor hazbin hotel criticism, among the various i've heard - but being 100% honest, the main reason i've stayed away from it is just that the music is bad.

it's so bad. every lyric sounds like a first draft.

I don’t usually make posts like this, but I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-intellectual junk lately, and I really think we need to put the word “pretentious” up on a shelf until people learn what it actually means.

It doesn’t describe someone who likes artsy-fartsy deep meaning media. People who are pretentious are fake. They’re posers trying to be sophisticated and unique, not like other girls. They pretend to only like stuff they think will make them sound cool when they talk about it. They want to act like they know something you don’t, and they want attention for it.

By definition, if you genuinely enjoy something, you can’t be pretentious. If it resonates with you, and you analyze it, and you don’t care what people think, that’s the polar opposite, actually. If you love obscure experimental prog music, if you watch underground high concept indie films through English teacher eyes, if you spend hours in a modern art museum reading each piece as a vessel for storytelling, if your backpack’s full of poetry books that inspire you, if you play underrated games that were someone’s passion project, if you have an interest in studying the classics or the masters, you are not pretentious.

Of course, some people just don’t like some stuff, and that’s fine, but that’s not what this is about. Don’t let anti-intellectuals shame you for enjoying things just because your interests are inaccessible to them, because they refuse to be brave and put effort into critical thinking. You’re not stuck up for refusing to overlook the craft of artists.

Piracy this

WHAT ABOUT DVDs?!

Like there’s BOUND to be so many discarded dvd’s at thrift stores and other places. Heck there’s stores that SPECIALIZE in this stuff.

Plus, there’s at least a handful of systems that are still available or you may already have that would be able to run a DVD.

If we all collectively said “Fuck you” to streaming services and started investing in DVDs again, they’re gonna have to reconsider their prices.

The only sacrifice I can think of is how I’ll be able to watch shows like Good Omens and Hazbin Hotel, but I’m prepared to make that sacrifice.

Also, can’t forget the aesthetic of having dvd cases full of dvds.

That’s just my take on streaming services increasing prices.

DAY 6 OF @lambsappreciationweeks

Ezra Lamb was really 13 years old dating two people and selling drugs huh? (good for him, good for him)

[angstics]

im her kind of girl -> positioning yourself outside your assigned gender

shes my kind of boy -> queering your attraction to someone of seemingly the opposite sex

literally a tumblr post. "it's always gay sex no matter who sleeps with me" "my gender is bisexual" "boygirl boydyke femmefag". a decidedly not mainstream and very queer sentiment. this is where zoomer queerness is going. less emphasis on labels, embracing ambiguity. how did gerard way hit it exactly. in 1 almost-throwaway line. what?

Me to my sister while I watch TWS with her for the first time: Look he is such a baby!

Her, visibly confused as to why I'm calling the assassin dressed in all black leather who is trying to stab the OG Miss America and failing repeatedly: Mady what the fuck?
