they're from here, from vancouver, and they started out in 2010-ish, under a different name. i'm honestly surprised it took me this long to hear of them? even though the name sounded familiar but they were never in my radar and i'm devastated. but hey, i'm finally here! saw them live today at a street festival, and oh my, they are SO good and sooo fun! one of those bands that you start singing along to when you've only heard the lyric of that chorus once. honestly, i love when this happens so much. and i also kept thinking "oh, louis would looove these guys". the lead singer is amazing and funny! oh, and he's indigenous btw. also the queer vibes were vibing, but yes, we all know why men start music bands (hajshajshs). excited to keep an eye on them from now on and to listening to their music a lot!
my finished piece of the FWMS (official name definitely 100%) thing we started a few days ago! I had fun I hope folks had and/or continue to have fun with the sketch as well.
wanna preface this by saying that i am. So normal. anyway i just spent the last week redrawing scenes from mystery skulls animated but as that hermitcraft au i posted about a couple times. you guys should watch msa it is. so so good.
[id: it is an animated gif of the turtles from rottmnt. raph is coming up behind the other turtles, arms spread and a mischievous smile on his face. they notice him and he then picks them all up close to his chest before coming back down while holding them in his arms. a small yellow spikey speech bubbles pops up behind raph with text that reads "HAPPY TMNT DAY"./ end id]
it mattered because when my brother asked me what if this is the happiest you'll ever be? the best you'll ever get? the thing i felt was fear, not peace. everybody thought you were so perfect for me. even i thought you were "helping me grow". i had to challenge every internal clock. make myself more thoughtful, more kind, more beautiful.
i told my therapist it was good because i like the changes i made and there's something so strong about saying i did that. the problem is that i can like the difference all i want, but i changed for you. something akin to getting your name tattooed, all my progress is stamped with fuck you.
it was the happiest i'd ever been and also the best i'd ever gotten. i would still get in the car and think what the fuck just happened.
