Ending the year with Blind Channel + a bunch of some lovely people, aka not-a-concert-report from the Helsinki ice hall show (29.12.) and Tampere Pakkahuone (30.12.)

(let me know if any of you want your (@)mention removed from this post 🖤)

Not a concert report because y'all know pretty much what happened; this is just my own diary entry about the events 😌

So, Thursday was a bit of a struggle for me personally: there were some surprise changes regarding my train trip to Helsinki that gave me a good ol' spook the first thing I woke up, plus I had a killer headache for most of the day...

...and on top of that I fell! 🙈 We were already inside the venue and on our way to take our spots on the floor. Naturally there were all sorts of electric chords going across the floor, but thankfully they were covered so that people walking normally and minding their step wouldn't stumble all over them 🙏👍👌

Needless to say I wasn't one of them, however 🙃 I wasn't running, I was just walking quite fast, and I totally wasn't watching where I was going, and so I tripped and ended up on the floor and had super minor injuries on my hand and knee (thanks @matelas for the pink bandaid 💗)

My fall wasn't quite as dramatic as Porko's though, gosh what a show-off, can't even fall on his pretty little ass without pyros blowing off 🙄🔥

We weren't super close to the stage, but close enough to see what was happening with our bare eyes, and definitely closer than I dared to imagine in advance! 🤩

The surprise Robin was one of the highlights of the gig, that was truly something straight ouf of fanfiction 😆 I mean, imagine being such good friends with your ex that you ask them to be a special guest in your special show with your new bf's band :')

And the money shooting in the air was a m a z i n g 😂💞💸 sadly I didn't catch one, but @thisisntaparty was terribly kind and gave me one afterwards as a keepsake 🥰 I've put it on the Place of High Honour™ (the fridge door)

(let's not talk about how the setlist was a teeeeeeeeeny tiny disappointment (to me personally at least; I was totally excpecting to hear SLB and many other songs they KNOW are fan favourites 😔), and I feel like the show itself wasn't as special I was expecting it to be 🤔 I mean, of course having Robin fucking Packalén there took us all by surprise etc. but somehow I expected more, especially because the setlist was exactly the same the next day in Tampere (and maybe the cruise show setlist was similar as well?). For example, Dark Side being the ONLY encore song wasn't how I had imagined them to end their biggest headline gig to date)

But, speaking of Tampere, HOLY FUCKING SHIT 😭😭😭😭😭 It was incredible, and not least because we were on 3rd row with a direct view to Olli 😵 @matelas and I competely lost it when he first appeared in front of us, in all his sinful beauty ✨

I had never been this close to Olli's side before, so it was amazing to see his happy face during the songs 😭 You can really see from his whole presence how much he enjoys playing shows, I wanted to ruffle his hair too like Niko did during Glory For The Greedy 🥺

And Aleksi was really enjoying himself as well, it was cool to see him up close too when he came to stand on Olli's platform a few times 🥰 I feel like our eyes met very briefly near the end 💖

Niko did the eeeeeeeeyo thingie, as he always does, and we did the longest eeeeeeeeeeeyo known to mankind back at him, in fact I think you can still hear it echoing inside Pakkahuone! 😌

In both shows (and also in general) my favourite songs to hear live are Don't Fix Me, We Are No Saints, and Balboa; I had so much fun boundcing and partying to those songs 💃 I had made a conscious decision to not film too many videos during either gig, because I truly wanted to take it all in and enjoy the shows to the fullest, but at the same time I wish I had taken just a few more, because watching the videos and sort of getting to re-live the whole thing all over again is so much fun 🖤

Great fun was also had at the very informal, extremely small-scale, and otherwise perfectly wonderful BC tumblr gathering we had after the ice hall show in a bar downton Helsinki, and in the Gathering 2.0 after the Tampere show!! 🥰 You guyyyyyyssssss, both hangouts were filled with laughter and kindness and soft feelings and I was so happy 🥺😭💕

(I DIDN'T CRY, but if I did, it was because @himmelno44 made me!! 😭)

Thanks to BC and their superb energy and songs I probably would have had a great time even if I had gone to the shows all alone, but I gotta tell ya, spending time with such lovely people made it so much better and I had the most fun I've had in a long time 🥺

Special thank yous go to my queuing buddies @ladysorbus and @matelas without whom I would've frozen my ass off and died of boredom while waiting for showtime both days (I'll have you know Envy and I acted so incredibly mature the entire time and totally did not annoy the heck out of @ladysorbus and each other 🥰💞)

Thank you to my BC tumblr meet organizer buddy @sinking-into-mist (the meet was succesful and no one passed out due to anxiety, look at us!! 🎉) and my darling dearest sweetest most loveliest @himmelno44 I miss you so terribly much already and I'm counting the days until we see again, no matter how many there'll be 😭

Thank you to @thisisntaparty (keeping the door open for Stockholm shall we 👀) @mil-peri @madeofbrokenstuff @gingervivilou and @into-the-hell for hanging out, it was so nice meeting you and I'm up for getting together with any of you sweet people any time! <3

And thank you to everyone else I met a little more briefly (but not too briefly to get a hug 🥰), it was great to see you all, mwah mwah mwah 💋

And now the emotional part:

This year's been a bit rough for me personally for various reasons, as there has been a couple of changes that I'm still trying to get used to (+ the always-present feelings of loneliness and inadequacy), but Blind Channel has been this one consistent element in my life this year, something I have been able to escape to when things in my personal life have started hurting too much. Their music and all the content on the side (from the guys themselves as well as fan-made) are one thing, but equally important to me are all the amazing people I have met (in person and online!) and the incredible memories we have made together that have given me endless joy throughout the year 🥺 There have been many, many days when I have felt so incredibly sad and lonely and desperate and the thought of being happy has seemed downright impossible, but during the last two days I have laughed so much and felt such joy that I don't really know how to put it into words 😭 I just want to thank everyone who was part of it, and of course I hope to one day be able to meet Blind Channel in person again too and thank them, for giving me so much more than just the music 🖤

To anyone reading this, thinking I'm crying my eyes out all alone in my apartment, having to continue living my sad, boring life not knowing when I'll see Blind Channel and some of the lovely peeps mentioned above again: I am crying my eyes out, but I want you to know I'm also crying happy tears because of how grateful I am for all these memories, and also that I'm happy to sleep in my own bed tonight and to be eating cauliflower soup and having some fun snacks while watching hockey later, so life's not all bad I guess, even if I have a small wound on my right hand and a bruise the size of Niko's balls on my left knee :')

(last night I was actually so happy that I had forgotten all about the falling as well as the hassle with the train 🥰)

#blind channel #tw flashing #ok to reblog if you don't mind having my emotional rambling on your blog 🙈#not me singing on the video btw #(...i think? 🤣)#happy new year everybody! may there be many BC concerts to attend and fun times to be had in 2023 for all of us <3 #my next live gig will be lost society next month 🤘🖤#btw i may have a new year's themed shitpost coming up later tonight (if I get around to making it) 😏🎆#my concert #gig reports by theflyingfeeling

I love it when people are excited about things.

Please, be unabashedly passionate about your weird (affectionate) little hobbies and blorbos.

I would love to hear about the tragic fate of an unnamed NPC in a game I've never played, because you will tell it to me in a way like no other, with so much striking detail that you'll find me on the wiki later.

(I have played games because they were described to me thus)

Btw long rambling lore rants are just as much creative endeavors as fanfic and fanart. Where do you think we get some of our inspirations? Passionate lore curators like you!

#fandom #creativity #fanfiction #fanart #lore curators #this isnt just for video games btw #movies shows books plays #and all the way out to like #painting sculptung furniture building whatever #tell me i want to know what makes your soul sing

ppl up in arms about “sentence mixing being way better than AI voice generators” be so for real. theyre different things. joe biden Pills. Now. Please. and ben shapiro Im Not Gonna Get Old on the Beach are both landmark videos and pretending the second one isnt because it was made by the “scary AI” is like. come on. be serious.

#like yeaaah i guess you could argue its unethical bc ben shapiro didnt consent to having his voice made into a bank like that #but the AI is literally just doing what the sentence mixing guys are doing. just automated #so if you wanna raise an ethical issue there i think you gotta raise it with the ytpoopers as well imo #and. its ben shapiro.#be so for real! theyre different things #you ever laugh at one of those spongebob sings world is mine videos from awhile back? its the same shit #utau doesnt have an AI component to it afaik but the process is all the same #of course this isnt applied when COMPANIES are doing it for PROFIT.#but thats always been the case #all this tells me is that you have no idea how voice synthesis has been progressing over the years and have no understanding of how the #software to produce these things work. tbh xoxo #oh no i made a bad post #btw what i mean when i say theyre different things and yet say the process is the same is that the results come out sounding different #process is largely* the same i mean #like ppl dont stop making pixel art bc you can make higer fidelity digital art #same principle

Only a beautiful soul could've written "In a big country dreams stay with you/Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside/Stay alive," and said "Kudos to you" to the audience during live performances of the song and emphasized and generally expressed a sincere wish that everyone taking some special, personal significance away from the song and its lyrics would, actually, stay alive.

#Big Country #Stuart Adamson #I'm having a bad day today but thinking about him is making me feel...grateful to be alive.#as awful as I feel emotionally/mentally he's a source of hope.#I've been meaning to post the link to that video for weeks now btw #it's not technically the best performance of ''In a Big Country'' they ever did but it's the best performance of #''In a Big Country'' that I've ever seen and heard. the earnestness is just off the charts. from everyone involved!#that version just makes me so happy AND it makes me cry and I just. I'm grateful for all of that. you know?#also yeah I kinda love so much that Tony got to sing his part for a bit solo. like way before BC toured with Tony on lead post-Stuart

FELLOW EUROFANS! this is my only oportunity to talk about OT AND Eurovision so I have to post this video I just found about Eurovision songs in Operación Triunfo (updated until the 3rd week of OT 2023), if you have any questions i will be more than glad to answer them !!!!

Just in case it is a bit confusing as it is not in english, in the left you'll see the country and the year it went to eurovision, then it will say the song in the middle and below it the person who sung it in OT and when in the program (also the edition which is important to me personally), and in the left there's the position it got on ESC <3

youtube

#eurovision #esc #vivitalksot #this video was made for me and me exclusively #dime appearing twice... EXACTLY #our national anthem #i also love how much gisela appears throughout the video... she really was the moment #gisela lladó you'll always be famous (she was the voice of elsa in the castilian dub of frozen btw !!!! also represented andorra in esc)#I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR MANU GUIX SINGING A-BA-NI-BI THAT WAS A JUMPSCARE #he looked so young in that performance as well 😭😭😭😭#okay now we get to the good part the new ot (yes i'm using the tags to react live to the video don't mind me)#euphoria by thalía and miriam... literally history of spain i am not joking #nerea's performance of quédate conmigo was SO GOOD and SO CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED #i don't want to go on a rant but. nerea rodríguez is the msot underrated OT contestant and i will die on this hill #tu canción... i do not want to talk about it #famous singing nobody but you by cesar sampson... lives were changed that night #also the guy making the video is such a coward.... he should've played the beginning of the toy performance #with maría and marilia being slutty #speaking of REMEMBER WHEN MARILIA'S PERFORMANCE GOT AGE RESTRICTED #marilia who was the sweetest contestant ever. like she's the embodiment of a sugarcube #top 10 funniest things ever #la venda <3 #I FORGOT ELENI FOUREIRA PERFORMED IN OT #RIGHT THEY DID SOLDI IN THE COVID THINGIES I FORGOT #btw!! they posted the full performance of dime in OT 2023 and you GOTTA SEE the beginning ruslana was hypnotic she was the best #Youtube

just realized something and even tho it's something very silly i feel so bad about it 😭

#i just.... sometimes i listen to ateez. i do enjoy some of their songs bc the brand of noise music they produce is interesting and fun!!!!#obvsly that doesn't mean that i stan them. no matter how pretty seonghwa and mingi are i just don't i'm not 15 anymore :)#but i know their names and i can identify some of them when they sing/rap (see: mingi jongho and hongjoong. happy bday king btw!!!)#because they have distinguishable voices even with all the vocal processing they add to their songs #however.... when it comes to what i assume is the rest of their vocal line i'm still trying to... kind of sort them out #and that's fine bc i don't listen their music that much. but their voices are similar in tone right? to me they are at least but idk!!!!#well today i just realized that i have never heard them talk. like outside of singing idk their voices. i don't watch their content #no wait i did watch that one video with san and hongjoong trying out british food........ but the point still stands!!!!!#today i was scrolling down on twt and a video of san mingi and yunho appeared and as i listened to it.... something wasn't adding up to me #and it was so weird bc? yeah that's mingi's voice. and ah okay san talks like that. but yunho???????#he has always reminded me of chanyeol. so much. so as i was listening to him talking my brain kept saying ''wasn't his voice deeper??''#and yeah it IS deep but it's not pcy deep!!!!!!!! like girl you've been fooling yourself all this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#in my head i keep on giving him pcy's voice which is. insane. and i don't know how i never registered it while listening to their songs #i truly feel so bad about it like it's so weird how i never realized i was doing this unconsciously YUNHO I'M SORRYYY #2 am thoughts are strange but this one has shaken me up so much like girl.... not everything is about your favorite unemployed legends!!!!#dara.t

i am aware that this is a human thing that many people do but seeing raúl stim is something so pleasing to me

#(<- guy who notoriously picked up his freddie trumper anxiety stim three years ago and has yet to lose it. so not a surprise)#it is also common but he's like. really not subtle about it and it's really nice #having seen him live as well like. i mean. okay he's a theater actor right his job is to Take Up Space so it's to be expected in some ways #that he sort of broadcasts little quirks in real life the same way he would on the stage #but still! makes me happy #rewatched his home cover (thee comfort video of all time btw wow i love the way he sings that song) and he's just. that man's limbs are all #- over the place and he is having SO much fun and it moves through his body #ted talks #raúl esparza

life is so fucked up because everyone wants you to be someone at 17 and have your life figured out by the time you graduate high school at 18 but let me tell you!!!! only now in my late 20s am i finally starting to understand who i am as a person and what i want from life!!!! society literally dooms us by telling us that if you don’t have your shit together by 25 you might as well give up but they’re wrong!!!! 20 and 30 really are still so young!!! you have to grow and learn and that all takes time it doesn’t happen in your teens!!!!

#hey everyone who feels doomed like me. we’re not. i’m finally realizing it #sjdhdh what brought this on is that i found a yt channel i had posted some singing videos on in 2012 #actually it was exactly 11 years and 4 days ago and i’m watching it and it’s So painful. i was an absolute baby and i thought it sounded goo #good*. but girl it did not sksjsjsj but that’s the point!!!!!! i can look back on it now and see that whether i think so or not i HAVE grown #and i HAVE gotten better and idk. it’s just so. idk. i just feel like bc i wasnt a disney channel star or something at 15 i feel like a #failure ? which makes no sense lmao but i guess i just always thought id have it all figured out and set or dead by the time i was 20 but #here i am and u know what. that’s ok #it was a cover of perfect by simple plan btw and i’m literaly wearing jelly bracelets in the vid AKSJSHDHDHD anyway #then after that i covered a panic song and it got 300 views and i was like OMG. this is it. RIP i’m screaming at it now
