was legit gonna post this yesterday 8/18 after seeing the tiktok comment about him and his autism but decided against it but wow i can’t believe it needs to be said

also one more thing is that joost turning off mentions and asking people not to follow him around are literally … the most tame boundaries anyone in that position could take …??? 😭😭 he could literally stop making music, he could delete his social medias, he could turn off his comments completely and never interact with fans ever but he doesn’t.

he is obviously capable of communicating his boundaries and the few he does communicate people disrespect it’s laughable

edit from today w what he just posted: ​such a damned if you do damned if you don’t situation and it’s so sad seeing it happen to such new and promising artists(joost + chappell roan + ethel cain + mitski + probably tons of others) people saying that they’re just not cut out for fame if they react like this… i promise you fame wasn’t the goal when these people started making music and even if it was no one deserves to be harassed and stalked at all

Compared to the rapid rise of the Arctic Monkeys, Muse are the tortoises of the music industry. Yet their slow-but-sure approach has paid off. From their Teignmouth days, they've always been the underdogs: "We were the kids in town that got chased around," says Howard. "We looked different, got in fights and generally despised the town because we felt so different."

But, far from trying to fit in, Muse revelled in their status as outsiders. "Making music was never about mixing with the in-crowd or trying to be a part of anything," explains the band's amiable bass-player, Chris Wolstenholme. "We never dreamt of adapting what we were doing in order to fit in with anyone else."

Sticking to their florid, arpeggioed guns while tight-trousered and even tighter-riffed bands like The Strokes and Franz Ferdinand redefined the musical landscape meant that Muse have never been very cool. However, existing outside the scrutinising lens of the media meant that Muse had something few bands in recent years have enjoyed: time to evolve.

—Muse, on existing outside the media lens, on being outsiders, fitting in, in life and in the music industry, 15 September 2006, to the Independent.

I have a BotW/TotK opinion so unpopular I think I would be murdered for it

going back in time to stop cavetown from making music because if I hear one more person make a joke about how trans men make bad music I'm either relearning how to play the guitar or walking into traffic

oh i like that my favorite game is Bloodborne and my favorite novels are Borne and Blood Music. and they all have an overarching theme of "hubristic and greedy scientists fuck shit up." i'm definitely not a one-note person what do you mean

Oh the PSMD music playing during the Latios cutscene is such a nice touch

also the concept of archetypes and tropes has always gone over the heads of a certain portion of ea fans, despite those being things she talks about at length on the Opheliac companion. even back in the day, I remember everyone making a big fuss over like the movie suckerpunch or that Alice video game or the fact that lady Gaga's fans called themselves "little monsters", either accusing those entities of stealing from Emilie or vice versa. but. like. the entire foundation of Opheliac as a concept album is that it's a commentary on the way women in general and "mad girls" specifically are treated in society and in art, extending back to Ophelia herself and beyond. I don't remember if ea personally had any comment on any of the above examples at the time, but at least from the way she talked about her own art, it was abundantly clear that she was very well aware that she was pulling from a vast historical and cultural context. and it's happening all over again with people comparing her to fucking Taylor swift and saying completely inane shit like "i bet ea is so mad Taylor swift is stealing her aesthetic". like there's nothing to steal there. because EA didn't invent that, and she has literally said as much before. in her own words, the "I'm a woman and I'm angry thing" is nothing new.

New Leaf 11 PM is the ONLY piece of music in existence that's allowed to conflict with my synesthesia
