I found a YT video with a small wardrobe malfunction from December 2019. Probably old news because this has 17k views but still super interesting to see more of the old mask's anatomy. If you don't want to watch the whole thing, start around 2:35 also can you imagine being front row for that omfg🥵🥵

okay gang here’s the BIG question: what instrument do you think semi eita plays?

[tranquilitybasehotelcasino]

there’s 5 people in mcr right??? Every time I look them up I can only recognize four of their names Gerard way Mikey way Frank iero ray toro and is there another one of like the main ones that’s not just some guy that played with them twice on tour in 2006. I feel like there is there might not be though

technically there has always been five guys in mcr the band just has really bad luck with drummers and they keep leaving/being kicked out for various reasons. they also had a keyboardist for several years during the danger days era

!!!! Oh so guys are my *favorite* band actually, I'm so excited to see what sorts of questions you guys answer! I have no idea if I'm the first one in but, I figured I could start with something easy- So what's everyone's favorite song? Not one of your own songs, but something you listen to in your own free time?

Kip: "Your favorite? Sick, dude, very high compliment. My favorite song is Badfish by Sublime. I like a lotta sublime, but Badfish is top fucking tier, a good chillin' song."

Yasha: "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh - really? Your favorite? Thank you so much!" He has to compose himself a bit, this is just so exciting! "Love On Top - that's my favorite. A little Beyoncé to get my mood up, yknow? Works every time!"

Blake: "Hi! You're so sweet." He hums, "Favorite song. I think... Domino Line by Casiopea. You should check em out if you haven't already, some seriously good stuff in there."

Calix: "Oh! Um... thank you! And... Empire State of Mind. Y'know, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys? Yeah. Me and my sister, we- we'd sing it a lot as kids into our teens. It's important to me... nostalgic."

Fallon: "Yo, your favorite? Dude, totally flattered! Aaaand, man. It has to be POWER by Ye. Dude's kinda fell off now n' shit, but that track? Killer, for sure. 12-year-old Fal lost his MIND when My Beautiful Dark Fantasy dropped."

Sterling: "Hey, that's real nice of you to say! I listen to a lot, so picking a favorite is a little hard..." He thinks for a second. "Probably... Bryson Tiller's Exchange. Very mellow, something I can put on and vibe to."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Icarus: He looks disinterested, this interview isn't what he thought it would be, but he politely nods at the person interviewing him in the studio as they speak. "My favorite song. Hm. I'd have to say It's Called: Freefall. I've heard a couple versions of it, but... Rainbow Kitten Surprise did it best."

TW: brief homophobic language

Steve plays the piano.

When he was a kid, Steve’s mom made him take piano lessons. He honestly hated it, hated how strict his instructor was, hated that he had to spend hours practicing when he could have been playing with his new friend Tommy. The thing was, Steve was good at it. He had an ear for music and could pick up songs after just hearing them a couple of times, even if they weren’t piano songs. There were also brief moments that his mom would actually pay attention to him, would sit at the piano bench with him and play her favorite songs.

Around middle school his dad told him that only pansies played piano, cutting an end to his lessons and instead enlisting him in every sport he could. Steve liked sports. He was good at that too, and at first his dad paid attention to him too which was amazing, but it only lasted one season. That was fine. Steve loved sports.

Then Steve met Robin, and they laughed at how horrible Tammy sounded singing, because even all this time he still had an ear for music. Then he met Eddie, and even though it wasn’t really his type of music, he could tell how talented Eddie was whenever he heard the older boy play after the world tried to end but they stopped it.

Steve and Eddie grew closer, and sometimes Steve even attended Corroded Coffin practice if he was free, much to Gareth’s original annoyance, and the music kind of grew on him. Sometimes he’d find himself singing the songs to himself in the shower or doing chores, or tapping out chords on the steering wheel when he drove Robin or the kids anywhere.

Steve was at one of these band’s practices when he noticed a keyboard set off to the side. He vaguely recalled Eddie ranting one day about the band arguing if they were going to add a keyboardist to their group or not, but the idea had been scrapped several months ago when they couldn’t agree on the sound.

During an intermission in the practice, while the band was all inside the house getting fresh drinks (Eddie was getting his for him), Steve hesitated before moving to the keyboard. He’d never played a keyboard before, and it had been years since he touched a piano after his father got rid of theirs when he started sports. He didn’t think he’d even remember how.

Despite this, his fingers moved with assurance over the keys, not playing one of the songs he’d learned in his youth but the song Eddie and his band had been playing just before break. His natural affinity for music had him able to translate the chords into piano keys easily, and he sort of lost himself in the music he plucked out for the first time in his life.

It wasn’t until the ending notes were lingering in the air and the sound of applause began behind them that he realized the band had returned, Eddie’s eyes gleaming above a wide smile while Gareth rolled his eyes.

“Fine. Your boyfriend can join the band,” the curly haired youth said, sounding aggrieved, but there was a curl to his lips that said that he was impressed.

Which was how Steve, former King of Hawkins High, found himself as the fifth member of the metal band Corroded Coffin as its keyboardist.

It also took until a week later, after his first official practice as part of the band, for him to realize that neither he nor Eddie protested Gareth’s claim of them being boyfriends.
