hello!!! i missed talk shop tuesday but im assuming i can still come to chat :)

How long have you been a 1975 fan and when did you decide to become a fic writer for the fandom?

most played 1975 song of all time?

if you could choose any artist for a musical collaboration who would you want?

and lastly, just for fun what is your hottest take just in general not necessarily about the fandom?

You are ALWAYS welcome to come chat!! My inbox is ALWAYS open and I get so ridiculously excited that people even want to chat with me so THANK YOU!

I've been a fan of The 1975 for too long at this point 😂 I discovered them during the self titled era via Tumblr / Chocolate being played on the radio my senior year of high school. I thought Matty was super hot 😂 I actually still have the promotional Twitter DMs that they sent out during the ILIWYS era saved on my account because looking at them makes me laugh - wow have we come so far! (I also distinctly remember watching them on SNL the first time and the TRSMT festival performance with my college roommate and her being like whoa he is not okay) HOWEVER, I didn't get involved in the fic writing side of the Fandom until last year. I had done some lurking on AO3 over the years, but never fully committed to it. Then BFIAFL came out and holy crap did that album just like totally consume me, it also lined up with my life totally falling apart and so I dove extra head long into anything to do with the boys as a little bit of an escape / distraction a good IRL friend of mine was the one who encouraged me to actually start writing my own fic and posting it / making a fic Tumblr and now here we are 😂

Probably The City - I'm not actually entirely sure because I've been listening to this band for so flipping long that I had to listen to A PHYSICAL CD IN MY FIRST CAR and also this was like prespotify for me and I had to BUY THE SONG ON iTUNES and listen to it that way. So we're talking about me trying to pull and compile data from multiple places. I do however know that was my first favorite The 1975 song and I did listen to it on repeat obsessively for a while there.

Not to be controversial but I would KILL for that scrapped Taylor / The 1975 collab - think their voices would really complement each other as would their writing styles and George's production. I don't really enjoy a lot of the Taylor stuff that's been happening lately because as a football fan I hate Travis Kelce, and I hate how her fans treated Matty last spring and I don't want him to have to go through that again but WOW I feel like a song between them would be incredible.

Hottest take in general? Hmmm I am a wealth of hot takes... honestly my instinct was to say that I fucking hate bean sprouts they are little strings of evil but I think that's just because I got dinner with some friends tonight and I forgot to say no beansprouts in my pad thai and was just like traumatized by the pile of them on top. They all laughed at me because my hatred of bean sprouts is very well known. I'm sorry that's a very lame hot take. OH ALSO NOT ALL FUCKING HORSES CAN BE BAREFOOT AND NOT ALL HORSES SHOULD BE BAREFOOT REGARDLESS OF WHAT SOCIAL MEDIA WARRIORS SAY. I FUCKING WISH POP COULD BE BAREFOOT IT WOULD SAVE ME SO MUCH MONEY BUT ALAS HE LIKES HAVING PIECES OF STEEL NAILED TO HIS FEET EVERY FIVE WEEKS.

Thank you so much for sending this in!! Getting to chat and ramble on was so exciting!! Thank you so much! I hope you had a wonderful day and that you have the best rest of your week!

❤️Ally

How… Do I recover from this…?

[warmshotamilk]

I genuinely don’t understand how there’s so many antis in the Rick and Morty fandom. The same fandom where Rick and Morty have a joke snippet where they get married. The same one where there’s constantly suggestive jokes between them. Like, how?

Man, there are so many fandoms that you can look at and go "HOW are there antis in this?!"

But Rick and Morty. That's another good one. Put that on the list with South Park, Supernatural, Moral Orel, Homestuck, Black Butler, and MORE

okay i just marathoned the entirety of ATLA live action & i might do an actual review of it explaining my thoughts more in depth, but the TLDR version basically boils down to this:

if you want to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender, just go watch the 2005 cartoon

Can you name over 100 Persona Users in 15 minutes or less?

No one can, but it sure feels nice to try.

Text for the convo with the blue doodle: (talking about a c list movie)

Edit: added some more!

[chrissdollie]

im so overwhelmed with requests idk what to write first 😭😭

[mecharose]

the dissonance between how my irl friends see me vs what is actually going on here is insane like they think im some girl boss shit slides off of me super confident extroverted type person but im over here crying in the west 4th station bc I was actually able to leave my apartment and go to a new place just bc I wanted to without being afraid of whatever so. ough lol

Had Chani not died in childbirth, do you think she would name her second son Liet and her daughter Faroula? Or would she defer to Paul and name the twins Leto and Ghanima, and have her son circumcised like she did to his late infant brother in the first book?

Oh that's interesting, tbh i think she would have gone with Leto II regardless, perhaps to honor the late Leto I? But it would have been so sweet to name the kid Leto Liet or Liet Leto, i mean it's curious how their fathers had such similar names lol

As for the second question.... i didn't even remember that part omg she had an infant brother???? I haven't reached that part in my rereading of the book yet jshdfishfid but i mean it's possible??????

Let’s discuss what mental illnesses all the walking dead characters have

oh god where to start without stating the obvious everyone’s got at least a touch of ptsd

i don’t think negan is a sociopath like some people say or a narcissist he’s just entirely delusional and having fun, he gives off that vibes that he could’ve been one of those kids who got prescribed adderal at a young age bc he’s just always acted like that yknow

rick i think has just always has some generalized anxiety but bc of macho southern male attitude he repressed that shit WAY down and it builds up to the point he lashes out

michonnes just a bad ass bitch but that’s not a mental illness

Tbh it really did Something to my brain that as a kid relatively interested in archery with next to no outlet for that interest, all the media I watched/read suddenly had hot archer ladies right as I hit puberty. Don't know what, but Something.

5 & 14!

What do you think was the funniest moment of the season?

God, this season was filled with it. I think daniel hitting lando in the face with the ball and then the tweets following it.

Are there any opinions you have now that you never would have expected at the beginning of the season?

Yes, the way one side of f1blr hops onto the randomest conspiracy theories whenever it comes the max is INSANE.

i fucking hate phone screenings for jobs, i just did one that was so fucking bad i couldnt answer any of the fucking questions now they're not gonna ask me for an interview and i really wanted that job :(

I’ve literally slept with a knife in my bed since i was 9 years old cause I’m convinced someone is going to come into my room and murder me brutally at night and when my room is clean I feel scared and lonely cause the floors aren’t “hugging” me anymore. If I don’t wash my hair every night I literally can’t sleep. If I don’t kiss my dogs forehead before I lie down I feel physically wrong until I do. You’re not “🤪mentally ill and need to be institutionalized” for sleeping with a night light and feeling anxious when you have to order in a drive through Bethany

i knew i would need this eventually :’)
