Gonna do another write up about a project I planned that never really went anywhere.

Welcome, friends, to the BTM band AU post

What is it?

Band AUs are definitely considered classics when it comes to fandom alternate universes and this one's... definitely a band AU i guess.

BTM is a band consisting of Grian (or Griande) on vocals, Impulse on drums, Pearlo on the keyboard, and Scar on guitar. There are a couple more stragglers sometimes but we'll get to that. As for their style it... varies?

Well, it depends. if its 'Grian' on the mic, they can range from the usual pop-punk or emo, maybe even rock if the mood calls for it-- but if its 'Griande' they usually go for ska or funk. This is when they get a couple more peeps to fill in the sound.

They get a brass section! Tango and Zedaph from Impulse's old college marching band "The Moonlighters" and they round it out with Gem, one of Pearl's old housemates when they tried living in one of those content houses with the Empires collective (they still collab tho). They play the trombone, the trumpet, and the saxophone (small stature, big lungs).

The band meets Mumbo after a gig. They were winding down in their favourite bar/cafe "The Hermit" when Scar very loudly and unabashedly asked who the "eye candy" was to the owner, Xisuma. Turns out, dude was just fired from his job and Xisuma took him in as a part-time bartender/barista, he wasn't the best at it but at least he stopped breaking Xisuma's fancy martini glasses a couple days in.

They asked if he was looking for a full-time job and he said yes. He asked if he knew anything about management and he said 'eeeeeeeeh' which they took as a kind of yes and hired him on the spot. With BTM's popularity growing, they needed a proper manager and not just rely on Grian (whose biggest problem would be his impulsiveness) and Impulse (who'd probably work himself to death if the mood was right).

So whats the plot?

It was supposed to be an ask blog first and foremost. Half of the information up there (and more) was supposed to be slowly drawn out by ask box questions. The format was supposed to look like members of the band being interviewed by the person asking, kind of like the latter half on that one mumriande gif I made (which is one of the stuff I made with this AU in mind lol)

There was supposed to be a mystery to uncover, then solve. There was supposed to be some drama and angst. Some moving pictures and animation memes, animatics even. I even have a playlist sorted!

So what happened?

Nothing really. It was nice thinking about making it but at the end of the day I am but a tired, easily distracted human being. I just made this post because there's a lot of nice details in this that I wanted to share, like the Hermitland post ages ago.

And not like I'm not gonna make things in the AU anymore but the ask blog's probably never going to see the light of day.

Some Fun Stuff

The fans never know what genre of songs they're going to walk in on, at least until they see if it's Grian or Griande holding the mic, but even then they sometimes do a double whammy and have Grian sing funk songs and Griande pop it up.

They're rivals with this experimental metal/electronic/acoustic fusion duo called Octagon. They play it up a lot on stage, but this one time someone from BTM really misunderstood something that made a good angsty bit.

There's this couple who met at a concert. One of em was really hoping for a night of funk while the other wanted some throwback alt rock. They talked before BTM's set started and really hit it off! They didn't even mind whoever came out to sing that night.

There was a group of fans who made a banner that said "We love you _____" and just had velcro patches with 'Grian' and 'Griande' embroidered on them.

There was supposed to be another, more secret ask blog for other more secret (👀) asks.

Conclusion

So yeah, band AU, that is all.

Thank you for reading!

#gim gabs #gim's wordy bits #hermitcraft #boatem #hermitship #edit: also... yeah #the fact that my stuffs not quite... interacted with? in a sense?#I'm used to it by now but imagine if i set this whole thing up back then and just... not get any asks lmao

[Avis du 08/03/2020]

Petite ritournelle hivernale devenue habitude récurente, depuis plusieurs années le décrassage d'hiver à DLP s'impose comme une évidence. Après les jours faméliques d'hiver on est pas forcément très regardant sur la cargaison, et c'est exactement comme ca qu'on profite le mieux du resort marne-le-vallois. Qui plus est en revivant ses premières heures de fan à travers les yeux de la nouvelle génération.

Avant toute chose je me dois de féliciter via les réseaux 2.0 (pas sûr qu'ils lisent ça mais yolo) mon Léonard et ma Adèle pour leurs, respectivement, premier crédit (Casey JR) et premières inversions (Space). Beaucoup d'émotion de revivre à travers eux ce qui fait maintenant partie de mon adn, vive les enfants (Go Gulliver nom de zeus).

La séquence émotion terminée reprenons avec Dlp qui nous aura livré une copie presque en tout point égale à celle de l'an dernier, et de l'an d'avant aussi, et de l'an d'avant avant aussi. Bref pas grand chose ne bouge si ce n'est les incessantes réhab qui devrait rendre ses lettres de noblesses aux parcs d'ici 3636272 ans dixit d'obcurs forums Islamo-Disneyfan. Les studios ressemblent à une parodie d'eux même, comme une espèce de blague de cast member, une (très) grosse partie est bouclée par les fameuses palissade bleue. La dite-blague allant même jusqu'à cloîtrer la porte monumentale d'entrée et la moitié des tourniquets (ca donne le ton d'office). Une fois dedans on sent, sans surprise, un parc encore plus déséquilibré qu'il ne l'était déjà. Comme je disais vivement dans 37272616 ans quand on aura les meilleures attractions du monde à Paris (je suis ironique).

J'ai pas envie de me répéter donc au pire allez scroller sur mon blog (eh oui bande d'huluberlu j'ai un blog). Space passait étonnamment bien (deux tours vers l'avant RAS, j'ai même presque apprécié certains éléments). Par contre la marche arrière du Destroyer sur le dernier lift est grotesque en tout point faites quelque-chose svp. BTM toujours nickel, sans tortiller le meilleur coaster familial d'Europe. RC Racer fidèle à lui même, avec ses sièges Intamin on a l'impression de retrouver un vieux copain italien qui habite Rimini mais au bout de 13 secondes (soit la durée du tour) on comprend que non. Casey JR bah c'est la base quoi on peut pas gueuler.

On sent que la nouvelle réhab de Phantom Manor a bien dépoussiérée l'attraction originale sans pour autant la transformer complètement. Ça passe car j'adore PM mais ca ne tient qu'à ça, et en même temps j'aurais râlé aussi s'ils l'avaient transformé (vis ma vie de connard de fan parconautique). Au rayon autres attractions: POTC était fermé une bonne partie de la journée, IASW donne toujours envie de proposer d'aider à refaire le plafond et Ratatouille est feignant dans l'effort de mouvement et en odorama, dommage. Sans oublier naturellement les Mystères du Nautilus qui sont toujours aussi incroyable d'immersion et de storytelling (j'adore vraiment nofake).

Voilà donc une journée agréable passée en agréable compagnie avec une météo moins agréable mais ne rendant pas pour autant le tout désagréable. C'est tout pour moi à bientôt pour de nouvelles aventures parconautiques pas piquée des hannetons.

This is from my BTM band AU with manager Mumbo and main vocalist Griande... It's also... quite suggestive isn't it?

I wanted to post the AU intro post in main but uhh... I've lost quite a lot of steam these past few days (weeks? months?) so I'm still... sitting on them lol

Hello hello, here to fulfill the promise of tired me...

Set in the midst of the the BTM band AU, mumpulse.

Theres a bit more technically.. this would be... 15 percent? another 5% not included here because 😳, another 5 I just straight up don't like the look of and 75 percent of it is stuck inside my brain.

is that right? is my maths mathing?

anyways this seemed like a good idea at the time but the sheer volume of images I needed to draw, was also hit with the strongest brainnotgood during this so it's sadly just stopped. might end up writing this one down though because I still think about this plot sometimes.

Also I hope the censorship doesn't jumpscare you lol

impulse just wants to share his hotdog...

edit: just noticed how off the timings are, sorry about that..
