"no see they're not being transmisogynistic, they don't hate trans women! they're specifcially talking about *men*, and trans women aren't men! so no one would EVER refer to them as such"

wow you're sooo smart, you're so smart and understanding, your brain is huge y'know that. you're sooooo intelligent and thoughtful and you really get it y'know, you smart person you.

Wait hehe.

Modern au where Eddie has a decent following in social media and is known as both a guy who does ttrpg with a few friends and does cool metal covers of different song genres. He's weird, sure, and will also post two minute video monologues but it's done while camera is mildly unfocused on a worm on the wet pavement, or he'll rant about prog rock and then two minutes later go "I'm sorry my statements on Keith Emmerson were inappropriate and I guess" *pauses and looks off camera* "he totally deserves to be in the rock and roll Hall of Fame" like it's a hostage video and someone made him say it because he looks like he's having a terrible time about it.

Anyways he's an internet funny little man and one day he posts a tiktok or what have you labeled "tfw ur bf is sitting in his platonic soulmate's lap instead of yours" and it's just of Steve sitting sideways across Robin's lap on someone's couch chatting and smiling with her before turning to Eddie and giving a little finger wave.

This is of course met with internet hullabaloo because is that Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley? Famous indie music duo who are also starring in a popular new tv series? Social media weirdos? Beloved and popular and bizarre and memeable? Queer icons RobinandSteve? Was Eddie serious? He was dating thee Steve Harrington?

An hour later Robin tags Eddie in a post that is a video obviously taken from slightly under Steve as the angles are a bit weird, and Eddie can be heard saying "oh my god how could I have forgotten you're, like, really famous how'd I do that Steve! Babe, Stop laughing! It was supposed to be a silly relatable post! You're no better Buckley-hey why are you filming this? My mortification isn't funny!!" While the video is just shaking of Steve curling in on himself and Robin trying to focus on Eddie and you can hear them both cackling over Eddie talking. She captions it "tfw ur QPP's bf forgets you two are famous and that most ppl don't know they're dating. Or didn't, at least"

William Byers would not fucking listen to Taylor swift

laughable to imply that mcr put emo on the map when fall out boy quite literally gained mainstream success at the exact same time and in fact at the exact same music festival. like. they both put emo on the map. together. at the same time.

Was thinking about how young Rishid is and that he was like 20 in the early 90s but the way this crystalized in my mind was "Rishid Ishtar is peak Nirvana age"

not to be overdramatic but in my willow centric human au the emerald entrails are a band

I feel like 'elitism' within rock adjecent genres is literally better than this 00s/10s pretentious way of pretending anything rock adjecent is inherently superior and hip hop or electronic music is 'not real music'. Like dude what you listen to bon jovi and dragonforce. What do u even have superiority complex over

Pro tip: Hating on "mainstream" things won't make you seem cooler, it'll only make you seem annoying as fuck lol, you can like rock, alternative emo and NOT judge people that like to listen to pop artists like Taylor Swift or Olivia Rodrigo (her music isn't that pop tbh). Yall claim to hate cliques and the popular kids in high school, but then act all special for having a different taste or aesthetic. Wanna know how to be cool? Respect others despite their tastes in music or how they dress. Because in adulthood, that shit doesn't separate you from anyone else. I promise you it will relieve some stress to change that mindset (coming from a 22 year old that was the same way)

the real reason that wrathion and anduin could never forgive each other is that anduin is an emo purist who only listens to american football, car seat headrest, home is where and rites of spring, and wrathion is a myspace emo who only listens to metalcore and pop punk

me forcing my followers to hear another stupid story or rant about my crush when they all signed up for frank iero sitting on my lap posts

Do I think it's going to happen? Probably not. but that won't stop me from hoping that they play Three Days Grace during an epic Shadow scene in Sonic 3.

On the “pick a character and I’ll tell you what band they’ll listen to” thingy, I pick Max! Curious to see if you’ll pick metal songs or rap or w/e. Thinking about that one page where he was holding those CDs

I think max would be VERY pop punk, with some classic rock and metal sprinkled in. music that would you could plug your ear buds in and skate to. something with a beat. bands i think max puckett would listen to include:

- green day

- blink-182

- simple plan

-U2

- all american rejects

- cold war kids

- dead kennedys

- the offspring

style savvy au where all the different styles/tastes/whatever are edgy as shit and there are only three non-edgy styles and one of them is still alternative

People going 'wym mcr is not underground??? My normie classmates/coworkers who exclusively listen to top 40 radio music LITERALLY havent heard of them!' on my posts is so hilarious to me. Yes, the fact that people who exclusively listen to top 40 radio music havent heard of something doesnt make it underground. The bar is so low lmao. You are giving 12 year old who claims they are the only person on earth to listen to nirvana

People will list "shows to watch w people as a good introduction to anime" or whatever meanwhile I say fuck it. We're starting with eizouken.
