i need to chill with dudes like this

[jeffs-gamebox]

Ah yes. The topic of the Game Master rolling dice in front of the group for all to see has surfaced yet again. Have you seen some of my dice rolls? Either the Player Characters get squished or my poor monsters never land a single hit. What's a GM to do?

I'm really proud of this one! The core took multiple castings using ash and charcoal I saved from memorable past camping trips. 😊

hiii Winter :3!!! could I pretty please get some Midwest emo album recommendations?? only one that I've listened to that ik you might say is sports by modern baseball :3

OH I AM ABSOLUTELY WILLING

I’ll give several suggestions depending on what you’re looking for

Sorta accidentally wrote an essay, didn’t mean for it to turn out that way but enjoy :3

Firstly if you want something more like Sports by MoBo:

Naturally their other album You’re Gonna Miss it All would be a great next choice, it’s my favorite album by them and feels like a more polished version of Sports

Another great album with similar vibes is Joy, Departed by Sorority Noise. One of my all time top 5 emo albums has similar vibes to Sports but to me hits even harder emotionally as well as having more diverse instrumentation.

Finally in this category I would recommend Talon of the Hawk by The Front Bottoms, while not strictly emo it is an excellent record and absolutely worth a listen

Next category is gonna be iconic records many people would consider “must listens”

Firstly, American Football’s first self titled LP. This is like THE Midwest emo albums. Didn’t create the genre but absolutely showed what it really could be. Absolutely immaculate vibes

Speaking of creating the genre the band often credited with this is Cap’n Jazz and their first album Schmap’n Schmazz is highly acclaimed and while I don’t listen to it often I have an incredible respect for it.

Last while I haven’t listened to it yet I have heard nothing but incredible things about Sunny Day Real Estate’s album. It’s been at the top of my list to listen to for ages and is often considered a quintessential emo album

Then one of my favorite branches of emo is emo post rock.

Here I’ll share three albums with the first one being the most traditional Midwest emo with the last one leaning much more towards post rock but still with obvious emo influence

Firstly is Whenever, If Ever by The World is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid to Die. The bands first full length EP and an absolutely incredible work. The shortest and most traditional emo of the three albums in this category but still a phenomenal listen and the album

Another wonderful album from the same band is Harmlessness. Generally considered their best album it really is the perfect mix of the heart wrenching lyrics and sparkliness of midwest emo and the giant introspective sounds of post rock

The most experimental and post rock album from this section is Tell Me About The Long Dark Path Home from Newfound Interest in Connecticut. Very heavily a post rock album however there is a heavy influence from emo in both the songwriting and vocal sound

Next category will be bedroom skramz/lo-fi emo

Unfortunately due to its raw unprocessed sound this isn’t for everyone but it’s been one of my favorite sub-genres lately

Firstly Come In by Weatherday is an absolute masterpiece of an album. Perfectly encapsulates both everything a good lo-fi album is and everything a good emo album is. While it doesn’t incorporate any skramz elements it is one of my top 10 albums of all time and has massively influenced me

Next a record I’ve been obsessed with lately is Poorly Wrote Suicide Note’s second album pwsn ii. While their first album has higher acclaim and is more known I vastly prefer the first album as it has a much more diverse sound and is overall a more interesting listen, doing an incredible job to improve upon the solid foundation set by the first

Departmefrombearisland is an artist with a very small discography and is a more known artist in the bedroom skramz scene but all their work is excellent and I would recommend giving it a listen. I have compiled all their work here

Final proper category is gonna be more high energy stuff that’s still very distinctly Midwest emo

First a huge shift from everything else here is Doppelgänger by The Fall of Troy. To be honest this just isn’t a Midwest emo album however it very much has the vibes especially lyrically. They’re an intense high energy mathcore band and I listen to this album all the time

Next a band I’ve been obsessed with lately is Arcadia Grey. I can’t just pick one album from them so here I’m including both Casually Crashing and Konami Code. Both albums are wonderful for different reasons and their recent single “Her Name Engraved” is one of my favorite songs ever

And now I want to include some honorable mentions of other albums I couldn’t fit anywhere else on this list but still love dearly

First a few EPs that are excellent are Silly Songs for a Silly Girl - Empty Parking Lot, LOTUS - blankslate, Never Mind, Princess Pavement - June Henry, Double Bind - EMWAY?, and there is no montauk - Flight Patterns love all of these but because of their length they don’t warrant their own review

A friend of mine @razz-is-queer put out an excellent acoustic Midwest emo album under the name Orange Moon called Mirror Lake. It’s a beautiful record and I’m honored to know the creator

My very favorite underground band Echinacea is an emo shoegaze tranny band with an incredible sound. Is It Too Much to Ask is not just an amaxing eno album but an amazing shoegaze album too

While these both could’ve fit in the first category I didn’t want it to get bloated and they’re relatively small so I’m throwing them here Flight Patterns self titled album and yhitopifah by Robo Pumpkin are two albums I absolutely adore and listen to regularly

Honestly just throwing TWIABP’s whole discography down here, they’re probably my favorite emo band and they haven’t put out anything bad (besides always foreign) every last album EP and split is worth a listen

Not emo at all however Panchiko’s album D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L is incredible and if you like the stuff from this list I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as well. It also has some incredible history behind it I strongly suggest looking into

If you made it this far thank you so much for letting me YAP lemme know what you liked and feel free to reblog and add any of your favorite albums I didn’t mention!

[ sling ] sender slings an arm around receiver's shoulder

Evening. St. Vitus bar (rip, it lives on in my heart), at the far end of Greenpoint. The bill's a horror story in and of itself: MIDNIGHT, JESUS PIECE, ESCUELA GRIND, 200 STAB WOUNDS. The place is a total dive, dimly lit and packed to the gills. Stickers adorn stray surfaces, largely from acts who have played here before.

There, milling in the crowd, up front and to the right ("Trust me, it's the safest spot to be.") against a barricade-free stage, Lance tries and fails to be cool about it. It being taking a drink and gently slinging an arm about her shoulders, tattooed knuckles relaxing once he's done so.

"You nervous?"

The question takes her by surprise. Not only because she was starting to drown in the noise, but because it's an oddly tender question for him.

Lance had texted her approximately eight minutes before he was in the lobby of her apartment. She cursed and immediately called him. She asked him what to wear. He'd said "anything." She hated him for that. He always made sure she was comfortable and true to herself. It irritated her to no end. She huffed and puffed and elbowed him several times while they were gently rocked on the E train into Brooklyn.

She went with a black short-sleeved button down and high waisted black jeans to at least not attract attention with color. The orange and red curls were enough. Her shoes were a pair of her dance sneakers. Unassuming. Normal. Not a dead giveaway. When they'd walked in, she took a mental note of the slipperiness of the floors under her smooth soles. This would make a great dance floor...

But this was not a swing dancing venue with big band horns blaring and pairs of dancers crowding the floor. Folks here stand shoulder to shoulder chatting and murmuring about all sorts of things she doesn't understand. Growls, screams, squeals. What is this, a zoo?

The young woman tilts her head up and to the side, the little curious dog thing she does. She laughs quietly in the hopes that the chatter snuffs it out. It wavers a bit. She wavers a bit.

"Don't think so," she quips. Her brown eyes are even darker than usual in this dim lighting and they quickly scan the characters standing around them. They dart from face to face with the same quickness they had when she was on stage. It was a necessary skill to gauge the crowd.

"I like the energy in here. Very different from stuff I usually go to. I can feel the electricity building between everybody." She's thoughtful, aware, in tune. She feels that same electricity in the hairs on her uncharacteristically toned forearms.

It's only after her comment that she notices how comfortably his arm hangs over her shoulder. Even if the volts increase in her skin, he's grounded with his rubber soles. Pippa can tell he's not putting his full weight on her. Again with the making sure she's comfortable. Ugh.

And tonight will be another night she doesn't call attention to the physical connection. Like other days and nights where they hold onto one another and connect lazily, she'll let it linger, breathe it in, then exhale and let it pass naturally when it ends.

She's not uncomfortable. Not in this place, not next to him, not under his arm. Saying that wasn't necessary though.

Pippa wiggles her foot again. It slides easily. She scoots a bit closer to him, pressing half of her back against his chest now. If someone falls into her a bit too hard, she's got no traction. Might as well get herself stable and situated before the chaos starts. Hopefully he says nothing- lets it linger and pass.

She says nothing for a few moments, silently observing his warmth against her. This place was already getting warm, but his heat was less oppressive. More reassuring.

Suddenly, she jerks forward and her eyes widen.

"Shit! Almost forgot," she shoves a manicured hand into her front pocket and digs out two little rubber cases. They both read Vic Firth on the front. She opens one of them and pulls out two earplugs attached together with a string and shoves one immediately into her right ear canal. He may be someone she can count on to keep her off the floor and safe from being punched, but he can't stop tinnitus ringing.

She holds out the other case up to him with a cheeky grin. "Figured you don't wanna use one of my gross pairs. So I gotcha some new ones for yourself."

And there it is. The tacit acknowledgment of proximity of heart, body and musical interest.

Controversial opinion lyrically I get why people resonate with gesthemane but musically I can't get into that song.
