okay pardon me for going all fandomy on my first post—but can we as a fandom talk about how Glam Metal Family is somehow accidentally some of the best OSDDID/plural rep i’ve literally ever seen?? in my life??

like. im kinda like having trouble organizing my thoughts bc it’s like 5 AM and i haven’t slept yet but just. look back through the series and read between the lines and you’ll find a lot of context clues/evidence supporting the theory

its like. “sebastian” was the original host and is the one who was geared more towards achieving perfection but a new alter named “glam” formed and took over when they listened to the record ches gave them, and then went on to rebel against their father and create a band and such. glam would be the ongoing host long into their adulthood as u can see by the way their style branched out and the way they interact with daily life.

not to say sebastian isn’t still there though! in the very first episode, when glam& is doing work in their office, they look a lot more dreary. they don’t hold glam’s signature smile and talk in a lower, more serious tone. this is a pretty good representation of sebastian’s presentation, and his role in stuff—he acts more behind the scenes, handling financial stuff and working. but he doesn’t actively front much, especially around others—unless he’s triggered out.

remember the box 37 scene?? when glam& opened it and kinda spaced out and then had a flashback for the next two episodes? i’m inclined to believe that the city model inside box 37 was something so personal to sebastian when he was host, that upon glam& seeing it, it was enough to trigger him out for a while and cause them to have a flashback. the way they slowly turned back and stared out the car window after seeing what was inside was on par to my experiences with dissociation, triggers, and flashbacks—just thought that was a pretty neat detail that added all that much more to the amazing rep :)

to sum it all up—being fully honest, if some movie producer wanted to make a series about a character with DID, i would point them directly towards glam. because glam lives a fulfilling life while managing their disorder. yes, they still struggle with their past and their symptoms. and yes, they are flawed in some ways. but they have a wife and kids that they love! they have hobbies, and friends! and best of all, they don’t kill people and are a normal fucking person in society! which is something we clearly don’t get with most plural rep.

really, the nifty thing about glam is that they struggle, they have symptoms that affect their life, and they’re a pretty flawed character—but they still live a good fucking life. which is, honestly? something i’d like to see way more in representation of people with DID.

BLEGGHHGJSGSHDH that was sure a lot of motherfucking wordbarf but thanks for reading it all!!

also i am so fucking excited for season 2 EEEEEE!!!!! i’m especially excited for the series to delve more into glam and ches’s past in season 2, kinda scared for the angst tho RIPPPP but that clip of the band getting excited over smthn in the trailer more than makes up for it lol :)

About season 2, episode 5.

I do think it is a bit complicated because Glam made a plan with Ches and went back on it, but at the same time it was not something that Glam wanted in his life.

However, the primary reason that Glam looks sympathetic is because we know that he and Vicky go on to make a life together. But in universe, that does not matter because Glam and Vicky have not even met yet.

It does create one hell of a bias. Don’t know if it was intended as a writers trick but it is one. And not one I would recommend.

Not me jumping around and rotating like a certain someone when that one twisted sister song comes on the radio because I think it's silly

[franylovesyou]

Fun little chiptone / classic-ringtone-inspired version of We're Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister!

Today I realized I could make my ringtone literally anything I wanted [because android] and I also realized I could create a plausibly real-ringtone sounding ringtone for any song I wanted! [yes i was inspired by the hurricane by p!atd intro] I don't know how ringtoney it actually sounds with the drum track and bass line, but I don't care. It is my ringtone now.

Made with beepbox.co! Here is the beepbox link in case you hate my mixing or want to delete the backing track or just want to mess around with it.

Hi! May I please request some dating head canons for Chive from Metal Family? If so, thank you so much and if not no pressure!

Hi! Of course! Thank you so much for the ask! Hope you enjoy!

To start, Chive isn't very romantic and probably will never be.

You two probably met somewhere causal

Maybe you were a regular at his shop, or you two met at a local bar one night

After he finally decided to approach you, you two hit it off immediately

It took a while for you to be able to read him at all, with his constant "joke" flirting

he has a very flirtatious personality in general

This might actually become a point of contention and jealousy later in the relationship

He moves pretty quickly in relationships, including yours

despite that, he's a very accommodating and understanding partner

He's always wanting to take you on little "dates" (aka dragging you along with him wherever he goes)

He tries to act all nonchalant and casual about the relationship in public (and fails) but is literally obsessed with everything you do

constantly attached to you at the hip

loves quality time

he cannot keep his hands off of you ever

he always is holding onto your waist and shoulders

loves playing with your hair and is surprisingly good at styling it

[franylovesyou]

I HATTTTTEEEE THESE IDIOT LOSERS EXPLODES

[franylovesyou]

always loved kon's superboy costume

not to worry mutuals, I’ve recruited a halfling to detect any and all spike traps on your dashboard, just make sure not to scroll too fast so he has time to find them
