my favorite way of participating in some fandoms is from the bleachers. i'm in the nosebleed seats with a pair of binoculars watching a full on bloodbath in the arena below, having the time of my life.
i think in the hamster wheel of my mind a big part of where people go wrong with eddie and his shitty garage band as an extension is that they for some bizarre reason think he's gene simmons metal when he's jack black metal. heavy metal. he's tenacious d metal. he's school of rock. he's stoner lord of the rings metal he nearly wore blue jeans and plaid. jack black literally in real life once said eddie was the best character bc he's heavy metal like him.
