this is just a general ST culture gripe, but the idea that youtube reaction channels to their music only do TMBTE & the summoning is rotting my brain. like guys. they have THREE albums, PLEASE pick something else, i beg.

i'm positive that i'm not the first one to complain about this, but writing fan fiction with the bands' real names is atrocious, parentless behavior. especially when u don't tag it as such. some of us don't care what their names are bc it takes away from the experience & from the groups' expectation that their privacy will be respected. either quit doing it or just tag it so ppl can avoid it, it's not that difficult 🙄🙄🙄

I know that titling fanfictions after song lyrics is a time-honored tradition and I KNOW Sleep Token have a lot of banger lyrics but the situation in this fandom is truly not tenable. We can not be having five separate fanfics all titled "I made loving you a blood sport" in one fandom. You guys need to pick other titles. Pleeeaaasseee

i hope whatever music sleep token releases next is weird and strange and somewhat off-putting. i want to listen to it and be disturbed. i want the sleep token equivalent of ethel cain perverts. and YES i mean disturbing in a sexy way. i am prepared to match vessel's freak. let it out king

Can someone please explain where the "yapper II" thing started 😭 I've seen a few posts on here and twitter saying it and that it's confirmed that he's the yapper of the group. What did I miss?? Is it just from the Drumeo videos??

I have a memory issue where it's hard to remember names and faces. I usually hate it. The one upside is that I've gotten multiple jumped scares of maskless Sleep Token pictures on my fyp. Thanks to Amazon Music, I've seen their legal names. But because my brain is weird, I don't remember any of it. I guess every cloud does have its silver lining 🤷‍♂️

I once had a dream I ran into vessel (unmasked but I won't speak about his appearance or anything) and I genuinely started freaking the fuck out because I was like "Oh shit, I ruined it, I've seen the face of god! I'm no longer a true fan" and I mean I was on the floor covering my eyes and rolling around like it was bird box, the entire time he's just standing there silently watching me like 🧍‍♂️, so yeah...

Weird theory. What if when a person becomes a vessel of Sleep, they also become a siren? All of the sirens from mythology were formally human, and all were vessels of Sleep. Sleep was a lot more powerful back then and needed 100's of vessels. Today, Sleep is weaker and only requires four vessels. And unlike when they were more powerful and needed 100's of vessels, they don't have complete control over Vessel, II, III, and IV. Sleep also discovered that he gains more power from lots of living humans listening to his vessels than they ever got from having their vessels unaliving humans in ancient times. They only discovered this because their current vessels refused to kill for them. The one time they brought it up, all of the vessels told them to "Fuck off."

I have been listening to Sleep Token for a full year.

I was listening to some music on YouTube and I saw one of their songs on a random plays I think it was the summoning or take me back to Eden.

It was right around the same time I lose one of my best to cancer, and I was still processing their passing and sleep token’s music helped me through the that.

So I want to say a big thank you them and the the sleep token community for helping through a rough time.

Worship

What if Vessel is secretly a giant human-spider hybrid?

[sleep-token-confessions]

My headcanon is the spider from the Alkaline video is their pet.

I would like to see a fanart of the guys without masks, but it's 404 error messages instead of their faces.

How to avoid being spoiled with ST members' identities

A not so short guide for tumblr newcomers

Hello new fans and (probably) tiktok refugees! This is a guide on how to enjoy sleep token online without being spoiled and also, a guide on how not to be a twat at the same time.

It is rather long, but please give it a chance. If not for you, then for other people who do not want to be spoiled.

I was thinking about making a reminder post about it for ages and recent post from @zelink-stan02 inspired me to make it sooner!

Tumblr is one of not many places online where the chances of you getting jumpscared with the guys' faces and names are minimal. You're not completely safe here, but it's still way better than on other platforms. And a lot of users try to keep it that way.

So, the basics for people who want to avoid spoilers online!

No twitter. That is a place of no honour. No exceptions. Nothing good ever comes from ST twitter. Also i am not calling it x.

Tiktok is also not safe. But most of you probably know that.

Pinterest is a super quick way to see all their faces.

Idk about facebook, but i bet there are morons commenting with their legal names there too. Like on twitter.

Googling is very tricky. Image results will most likely show you their faces among 20 first photos and if you do google them. Well. The main search used to show the names as suggestions up here before; I'm glad to see that for now this is fixed:

BUT LO AND BEHOLD. Pictures tab gives you a treat (derogatory) of a full vessel's name RIGHT THERE:

First suggestion. They're not even trying. So yeah, googling is very tricky.

I didn't scroll further to the right, but i bet ii's name is there too. (Their names are spoiled most often, cause they're writing the songs.)

7. If you look for the lyrics, google sometimes shows vessel and ii's legal names in songwriters' credits. I haven't seen it recently, but it doesn't mean you won't see [redacted] instead of "Vessel 1" and so on in the credits. Try not to scroll too far when checking the lyrics. I think Apple music shows their names in lyics all the time, someone correct me if I'm wrong though.

FORTUNATELY,

if you want pictures, band info, older rituals' shenanigans etc. etc., we have real mvp's here on tumblr!

@sleepanonymous has it all. Including an archive of band-related stuff and also older (mostly) vessel's stuff without any names or faces revealed. Just older songs, if you're curious! Sleep Anon has a neat google drive archive too. Please check the tags and other links in their pinned post!

We also have another pillar of our community here, @thesleeptokenarchive, who shares older rituals' details, song release dates and many other important information and dates.

My dear friend @a-s-levynn created this beautiful archive with band pictures for people who want to find that very specific picture without having their faces spoiled. Behold, the Sleep Token Reference Archive (STRA). Perfect for artists, but not only!

Beautiful people @kaddyssammlung, @vulcanette and @chaosandchaos are posting cool band photos they find regularly. Others too, but these three are the most active! We're also lucky to have @hecetas here, posting their original photos of the band (and not only!)

Also, The Choir is not anonymous. The band itself shared their actual name, Espera, and the ladies are not faceless. It was their decision, band supported it, so you don't need to worry to keep them anonymous.

Last but not least! How not to be a twat in the sleep token fandom space on tumblr:

Do not tag any band-related stuff with their names or older projects' names.

Do not post photos of their faces and tag it as the band or band members.

If you want to sceam about the love you have for that one older Vessel's project, the not solo one, you can do it here: @wings-of-clay

If you are a curious being and face/names reveals don't mean much to you, you can always scream about their past projects with your closest friends in the DMs. Or ask literally anyone here if they want to talk about those things without revealing those things' names publicly. Most of us have their faces and names spoiled anyway. But trust me, you don't need to put any names for us to understand what you mean.

Not exactly a tumblr thing, but! One of the band members streams on twitch. It is an unspoken rule to NOT mention anything band-related in the chat. No "worship", no band name, other members' names, nothing. He wants to keep those things separate. You get blocked there or he stops streaming for everyone if you're too pushy.

And remember folks, digging too much into their personal lives guarantees a court case against you!

I'm not joking. There is a person who is going to face charges for being way too parasocial and stalker-y about them. Do not be like that person. This applies to all public figures, not only sleep token. But some people take anonymity as a challenge to dig even deeper for all their info.

Last, but not least! I have the names spoiled and i don't mind talking about old projects and stuff. So I'm here for you if you want to google something, but are afraid of a face reveal, or if you just wanna talk about the older stuff (tho i admit, i don't know much about previous bands/projects of all of them). However, I will not be engaging in anything related to their private lives or families and I will block you on spot if you mention anything like this to me.

(in the nicest way possible) next tour if Rain is still on the setlist can everyone STFU while Vessel does the little piano improv before he starts the song.

In regards to the last post. Does that mean we get to drink Red Bull and eat lemon bars for our communion?

in relation to [submission]

[sleep-token-confessions]

"Oh, and though we act out of our holy duty to be constantly awake"

Is that why II drinks Red Bull?

.

[sleep-token-confessions]

I know people have lots of feelings on the anonymity of the band, but tbh even if (when) they stop producing music, I hope to GOD we never find out. Like, the last thing I want is to know that Vessy is just some dude named John or smth.
