GERARD WAY AND ADAM LAZZARA
This is what I think of when I think of Tumblr, all in one picture. Is this accurate?
So me and my friend kept joking in our PE class about suddenly playing emo music while we were doing weights in PE. We jokingly asked our teacher last week, and her, being the awesome millenial ex-emo she is, agreed. So this week in the middle of weights my friend reminded her, and yk what she played? “Welcome To The Black Parade”. Imagine getting G-noted by your PE teacher while doing weights. I dramatically crumpled to the floor at that first note and hurt my knee. Totally worth it.
The next time I see Donald Trump trending on this god forsaken website, it better fucking look like this.
Good rant about Ray Toro (I just listened to Remember The Laughter and God.)
He's so, so, so ridiculously talented. Making an album almost all by himself, an amazing album at that, it's so, so admirable. It's easier said than done, making everything by yourself is so hard and he was so capable of doing it and he did such a beautiful job, cause Remember The Laughter is so beautiful. And let's not even talk about For The Lost And The Brave, which is so beautiful and heartbreaking, and the story behind is even more heartbreaking.
I love how you can tell the music he liked in every piece of art he did, cause it's so well done. As a guitarist, when I learnt to play Famous Last Words, I noticed so clearly how much Iron Maiden for example, inspired him in his music writing, that solo could perfectly be performed on a metal song. And that talks about how much he studied his own sound, other musicians sound, how he incorporated that in his own creations, everything. It's so beautiful to be able to recognise those little things.
And well, his song writing is absolutely beautiful, Isn't That Something is absolutely beautiful. He's such a talented person and usually overlooked, but he's so extremely talented, it's impossible to even put it into words, he's just amazing I love Ray Toro so much I love him
So the other day I got bored and stumbled upon this Johnlock fanfic. It was canon-compliant, and it was basically John’s POV through the series but…GAY. I also know it was tagged as really slow burn or something. Do any of y’all know what I’m talking about? If so, please send a link. Thx you guys luvv u <3
So why is this guy that I know basically the second coming of Gerard Way?
I don't know him very well, I mean, we are both aware of each other's existences and we've spoken before. But I mean we aren't friends.
But seriously, the vibes are there
✅ - Into comics
✅ - Into bands
✅ - Into horror
✅ Actually so good at drawing dude like I saw this thing he drew today that he was doing instead of what he was supposed to be doing and actually like I was flabbergasted?
✅ - Can sing
✅ - Can guitar
I know these are all like pretty general things but he's checking off all these boxes and I'm like...what? Interest-wise he is a total nerd and shit but the way he is it just comes off as really cool?
I wanna be friends with him. I have a friend who's friends with him, but like...he's cool...and I don't know if he'd be cool with me, cuz I'm not cool...but I really wanna be friends with him.
Dilemma of the century: Should I or should I not try to be friends with discount Gerard Way?
Also to that one person who will probably see this and knows who I'm talking about; stfu, you didn't see this, but you're gonna bring it up anyway. I might even be with you when you see this. In that case, hi me.
Thx 4 reading or skipping thru that to read this line; if you see this post you are AWESUM <3
Cut fast fashion - buy used, learn to mend and/or make your own clothes, buy fewer clothes less often so you can save up for ethically made quality
Cancel subscriptions - relearn how to pirate media, spend $10/month buying a digital album from a small artist instead of on Spotify, stream on free services since the paid ones make you watch ads anyway
Green your community - there's lots of ways to do this, like seedbombing or joining a community garden or organizing neighborhood trash pickups
Be kind - stop to give directions, check on stopped cars, smile at kids, let people cut you in line, offer to get stuff off the high shelf, hold the door, ask people if they're okay
Intervene - learn bystander intervention techniques and be prepared to use them, even if it feels awkward
Get closer to your food - grow it yourself, can and preserve it, buy from a farmstand, learn where it's from, go fishing, make it from scratch, learn a new ingredient
Use opensource software - try LibreOffice, try Reaper, learn Linux, use a free Photoshop clone. The next time an app tries to force you to pay, look to see if there's an opensource alternative
Make less trash - start a compost, be mindful of packaging, find another use for that plastic, make it a challenge for yourself!
Get involved in local politics - show up at meetings for city council, the zoning commission, the park district, school boards; fight the NIMBYs that always show up and force them to focus on the things impacting the most vulnerable folks in your community
DIY > fashion - shake off the obsession with pristine presentation that you've been taught! Cut your own hair, use homemade cosmetics, exchange mani/pedis with friends, make your own jewelry, duct tape those broken headphones!
Ditch Google - Chromium browsers (which is almost all of them) are now bloated spyware, and Google search sucks now, so why not finally make the jump to Firefox and another search like DuckDuckGo? Or put the Wikipedia app on your phone and look things up there?
Forage - learn about local edible plants and how to safely and sustainably harvest them or go find fruit trees and such accessible to the public.
Volunteer - every week tutoring at the library or once a month at the humane society or twice a year serving food at the soup kitchen, you can find something that matches your availability
Help your neighbors - which means you have to meet them first and find out how you can help (including your unhoused neighbors), like elderly or disabled folks that might need help with yardwork or who that escape artist dog belongs to or whether the police have been hassling people sleeping rough
Fix stuff - the next time something breaks (a small appliance, an electronic, a piece of furniture, etc.), see if you can figure out what's wrong with it, if there are tutorials on fixing it, or if you can order a replacement part from the manufacturer instead of trashing the whole thing
Mix up your transit - find out what's walkable, try biking instead of driving, try public transit and complain to the city if it sucks, take a train instead of a plane, start a carpool at work
Engage in the arts - go see a local play, check out an art gallery or a small museum, buy art from the farmer's market
Go to the library - to check out a book or a movie or a CD, to use the computers or the printer, to find out if they have other weird rentals like a seed library or luggage, to use meeting space, to file your taxes, to take a class, to ask question
Listen local - see what's happening at local music venues or other events where local musicians will be performing, stop for buskers, find a favorite artist, and support them
Buy local - it's less convenient than online shopping or going to a big box store that sells everything, but try buying what you can from small local shops in your area
Become unmarketable - there are a lot of ways you can disrupt your online marketing surveillance, including buying less, using decoy emails, deleting or removing permissions from apps that spy on you, checking your privacy settings, not clicking advertising links, and...
Use cash - go to the bank and take out cash instead of using your credit card or e-payment for everything! It's better on small businesses and it's untraceable
Give what you can - as capitalism churns on, normal shmucks have less and less, so think about what you can give (time, money, skills, space, stuff) and how it will make the most impact
Talk about wages - with your coworkers, with your friends, while unionizing! Stop thinking about wages as a measure of your worth and talk about whether or not the bosses are paying fairly for the labor they receive
Think about wealthflow - there are a thousand little mechanisms that corporations and billionaires use to capture wealth from the lower class: fees for transactions, interest, vendor platforms, subscriptions, and more. Start thinking about where your money goes, how and where it's getting captured and removed from our class, and where you have the ability to cut off the flow and pass cash directly to your fellow working class people
