Bandito tour-Nashville

So this is later than usual but here it goes, my experience of the first show after Twenty One Pilots had been on hiatus for over a year.

Getting there:

So i had to work a closing shift that let out at 9:30 on monday but right after i booked it to get Kaylee and then we booked it to nashville. The drive was honestly great. It was so much better than the drive last month and me and K rolled the windows down and blasted Trench. It was so peaceful. Also,  if people heard some of the things we say out of context things would get very awkward.

The line:

wowowowow i actually missed camping out i hadnt done it since TDC. But we got there about 3am and it was so cold!!?!??! Kaylee ended up going to my car to sleep. So when we got there we set up her little brothers tent which was way to small for the both of us but we made it work. But like after 30 mins they moved the line and we were trying to get everything so we threw the stuff in the tent and just picked it up and shuffled our way. About 6am us and this dude named Ryan(?) went to starbucks. It was pretty chill the rest of the day i forgot the other dudes name but i painted his nails yellow and he let us have some duct tape so hes cool. And there were these people next to us that are my new best friends. Me and one of them went to get pizza for them and they let us have some. Despite me shivering the entire time i absolutely loved it. Me and Kaylee got 211 in line until they started scrunching for the show then we got 1163 i think? (163) im not sure how but it was really weird how they did everything. bUT bridgestone was super nice. There was a guy helping set the merch booth and when he saw how excited we were getting about the new merch he said "GA is gonna be blown away" and when they said that it wouldnt open till another 30 mins someone asked if we could still watch what was being put up and another guy said "of course!" then when we got in they made us all get in a line and told us that when we get in to sit down in our spot and they were gonna bring us water bc they didnt want anyone to pass out during the concert. It was so nice and every single one of the workers made it such a good experience for everyone. During the show they passed water around and made us waterfall it so other people could drink it too then near the end they just started handing out the bottles. Ive never seen an arena care so much it was amazing.

Max Frost:

What a dude! I had been listening to him for a tad before the concert in preparation but nothing could prepare me for how hyped he was. I didnt know he was doing everything so that was super cool to watch and uh Money Problems is my favorite and was so great live. Those high notes? He hit them. Love this guy and cant wait to see what the future holds for him.

Awolnation:

Um ok the guitarist didnt have to go THAT hard. i could lay on the ground and be at peace listening to them but i could also mosh like hell. They're super fucking good???? Like idk what i was expecting but they exceeded it. Really wanna go see them again...multiple times.

Twenty One Pilots:

Oh goodness i have so much to say. I didnt know that they could step their game up even more but they did. By a lot. This was my 10th concert and 2nd time seeing them and by far the best show i have ever seen. (Ive always loved fire so this next part is multiplied by like 986) the curtain dropped and it took me a second to see what was going on but when i did oh bOY. Josh was up there lookin like a fierce ass bandito holding a tORCH WITH FIRE. we were on his side second row (pretty much barricade)  so he was super close when he walked toward us i was yelling. tHEN I NOTICED TYLER coming up through the stage oN A BURNING CAR OKOKOKOK. I knew the burning car was gonna be there but that entrance??? Didnt have to be that amazing.but it was. During jumpsuit when all the flowers fell and some of the fans were throwing their own flowers to and it was so breath taking. The transition into levitate was better than anything i could ever do. I wasnt expecting him to do the death drop or go into the stands again but gUESS WHAT????? There are just so many moments and its so hard for me to put it all into words. NATN? My favorite song off the album? The one that means a lot to me? Him walking on a bridge through the crowd during it? I was gasping for air. Pet Cheetah? Incredible. Bandito? Beautiful. Neon Gravestones? Wow i love this song so much because its so raw and powerful and the fact that he put it on the setlist means he wants us to hear it. He wants us to LISTEN. Me and k were a mess. Of course it didnt help that it came right afteR MOTHER FUCKING TAXI CAB ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME. You cant tell me for one second that this band does not listen to their fans. I cant believe i hears that song live wow. Leave the City was one of the songs on the record that i had trouble connecting with because i think i was trying to search to much into its meaning but seeing it live really just made it so special and i found the meaning of it, or at least what it means to me. WDBWOT was amazing as always and when we first yelled Yeah Yeah Yeah he was a little shook. He was not expecting. Idk what they were expecting this crowd to be like for the first show but you could tell by their smiles they were happy with how it played out. During Morph Tyler messed up and later called himself out on it but tbh we all did...we just kept singing with him and when he realized he messed up is when i did lmao and he also looked at josh and said Whoops and thats a whole ass mood. There are so many other moments that im sure im forgetting but if anything was taken away from this it was a little bit of love. Seeing everyone in yellow bandanas and duct tape, seeing myself in that, makes me feel fearless. I keep the term "they cant see yellow" very close to my heart. And i keep the term "east is up" even closer. Seeing everyone in yellow, and hearing everyone say that, none of us are alone. We all have each other's back. And tyler and josh? They have our backs too. Maybe not in such a personal way but they created this. All of it. They created something that has brought all of us together. They created something so interactive we truly feel like we area part of it. They tell the truth about fear and then they bring hope to life. They're Twenty One Pilots and we truly are too.

[pr0gf0x-archiveseeya]

im finally watching dsod and just lemme pause to scream about the parts that hurt me the most and maybe some other things but mostly Pain (i id heavily as yugi and its hard for me to separate myself from him so fair warning that im using “i” for yugi in here??? ok to reblog as long as u dont try to invalidate me, i guess, but why would u wanna reblog this emotional mess)

ok so i have screenshots for some of these but not all bc this is rushed and im emotional

kaiba having the millennium puzzle in the opening scene

for the movie to start off on a note like that hurts me to my core. no one should have the puzzle. it makes me sad enough that even i, yugi, couldn't keep the puzzle, but if i did keep it, atem would never truly be at rest. and he was. he was at rest, finally. after 3000 years, his spirit finally was allowed to rest, but kaiba couldnt just let him rest??? kaiba please... let him rest

everyone has grown up so much but also stayed the same

i dont know, stuff like that always kills me and i dont really think its quite fair to compare the gang in the movie to the gang at the end of the series. because... yeah there was a period of time missing between those two but i feel like its better to compare the gang from the beginning of the series to the gang in the movie. like, uhh??? theyve all grown so much but it wasnt completely evident at the end of the series because it ended so?? kind of abruptly imho??? and just.... in thos movie you can FINALLY see how much everyone has grown after being affected by all of the stuff that happened in the ygo series- how much it changed them and how much they learned and i’m just so proud of everyone and their dreams. anzu is finally going to be a dancer and that makes me so happy. she’s wanted that ever since she was a little girl and she’s really going to do it. also, jhust????? i (yugi) am so tall??? but still the same. like i’m still the shortest but the animation style makes me look vaguely more like atem as i grow up and thats... oh my god

the walk home after getting my deck back

i’m much more familiar with the manga than the anime so i apologise if this next part is incorrect in terms of the anime but this line is really important. in the millennium world manga i often start to try and correct myself when i say “other me”. i say, “other me- i mean, the pharaoh-” when we learn atems real name, i do the same thing but with his real name (iirc) but when we’re on the boat to egypt i say that i understand that he’s a pharaoh, but until it’s all over- until he has to leave- i’m going to keep calling him the other me because that’s what he is to me. i think i make it pretty clear that in that last duel??? that that’s going to be the last time i ever call him by that nickname i have for him, but here i am, much later, and i still can’t shake the habit because even though he’s gone, i still consider himself a huge part of me because he helped me so much. he taught me so much. he helped me grow so much

kaiba’s “””duel””” with atem

first off, the obvious- he probably could have used any memory to test those systems but he specifically chose atem. he reprimands atem, saying “you left yugi behind and you vanished”. which is... wow. he probably is using anger towards atem “abandoning” me as an excuse to be mad so he feels like he has a reason other than revenge and being salty about missing him and never satisfyingly beating him but it... still means a lot to me. either way, he doesnt start his monologue off with "im gonna kick your ass" he starts with. "whyd you leave yugi behind and disappear".

jou in the dog suit

he became the furry he never wanted to be...... no but its... really nice that hes still working hard to make money, especially with his dream of wanting to be a pro duelist. like ok hes still kind of a goof and maybe a bit of a slacker but hell if he isn’t working hard for what he wants. also i like that ryuji/duke is in this scene!!!!! in the manga he stays a part of the main cast throughout the rest of the series after showing up (at least more than he does in the anime iirc) and i’m so glad that they show us all hanging out with him in the movie.

kaiba working so hard to get the millennium puzzle

he cant let atem go and its honestly heartbreaking. all of this time he’s been so crazy focused on bringing atem back and its so sad... especially because it doesnt seem as if hes been hanging around me (yugi) and my gang of friends since atem has been gone? and i feel like we could have helped him cope so much. me and kaiba could have grown so much closer by mourning atem together... also that exchange when kaiba says he’ll solve the puzzle and mokubas like “but it took yugi 8 years” kills me because kaiba just retorts with “thats because yugi has the brain of a child” and im autistic irl and i feel like yugi is autistic too and it was like jeez dont make fun of me for being autistic kaiba. and ngl i was really hoping that when kaiba found the puzzle hed just call me up like "yugi come solve this i found your treasure" but NOOOOOO 

kaiba’s duel with aigami

i believe its in this duel (and not his one with the memory of atem but i apologise if i’m wrong) where he says atems name. only once, but this stands out to me because throughout the whole course of the series, kaiba seemed to have such a difficult time differentiating between atem and yugi (meeee). at some points, it seemed like he thought of atem as yugi more than he thought of me as yugi (which hurt tbh) so for him to finally state that he sees the both of us as individuals is really powerful.

the fact that he can summon obilisk is obviously powerful too because it just,... continues to show how kaiba can’t let go and it breaks my heart

hanging out with friends!

it makes me eternally happy that throughout the whole movie, my gang of friends includes ryou. i always felt so bad in the main series because even though he was our friend, we were all kind of distant with him because of yami bakura. and a lot of the time it seemed like me and the others kind of did the same thing kaiba used to do with me and atem where sometimes it was hard to tell ryou and yami bakura apart, especially because yami bakura was so sneaky and kind of pretended to be ryou sometimes??? so it warms my heart to know that we can all be super close to him now with no worries. he’s no longer an outsider. he’s a part of our crew, we duel together, we die together. ryou deserves the world

sera approaching me (yugi)

when she tells me about everything and gives me the puzzle piece, its kind of the first time that it really sets in that this isnt over. its been about??? lets say a year and a half in dsod since the end of the original yugioh series. atem has been gone for that long. life has been “normal” again for that long. we’re all about to graduate. we’re all about to start our new lives. as mentioned earlier with me still calling atem “other me” i still haven’t been able to fully move on and be independent, no matter how much i want to and want to be. graduation is a chance for that. it’s new beginnings, so for all of this stuff to start up again right as we’re graduating... it’s so hard. i thought i was finally going to be given the chance to move on but it all comes crashing down on me that it’s not over, and then all of my friends get dragged into this mess again too and it’s like. i lowkey feel like it’s my fault. they shouldn’t have to go through this

jou seeing atem

i mean first of all just wow??? but also just... when we all split up to go look for bakura and its just me and jou left and jou stops me to tell me what he saw but then changes his mind... it breaks my heart. because he knows how hard this has been for me. he knows how close i was with atem and how much i missed him. he realises that crazy shit is happening again and he’s so hesitant. he knows how hard i’m trying to move on so he decides to keep it from me to protect me

my duel with aigami

kaiba goes to duel him first but i literally just yell kaiba’s name and tell him “this is my fight”. and i dont back down when kaiba says he wants to duel him first. i fight for it. i fight for my right to fight aigami first because i’m so determined to save bakura and finally prove myself. finally prove that i’m more than just atem, that i’m more than just his vessel and

i say im talking about bakura but at the same time especially with the determined spark in my eyes that vaguely resembles atem i feel like im kind of talking about him, too. i havent decided whether im going to finish the puzzle again or not, but in a way, i’m fighting for him in this duel too. i’m fighting to save him from the others- i’m fighing to prove myself to him, wherever he is, and to be given the choice of what to do with the puzzle because he?? was the other me. no one else should have to be involved with deciding his fate

and thats where ive stopped watching for now because i’m too emotional to watch any more and im probably gonna go to bed stay tuned for part two i guess
