[warriorsatthedisco]

Somehow every cover of Wheatus’s “Teenage Dirtbag” is considerably better than the original

[bethsvrse]

[frazzlecrazzle]

[nykloss]

It's always funny seeing reposted eve6 tweets doing numbers on Tumblr like I wonder if he knows how popular he is over here and I likewise wonder how many people on Tumblr realize that eve6 is a band and not just a political commentary account

[autisticbonestv]

[transgendercastiel]

me: wow this cranberries song is so good! I think I’ve heard it before though

britta, marrying Jeffrey winger: Abed, hiring an Irish singer:

[charlesoberonn]

Say what you will about Taylor Swift but being a blonde-haired southern country singer who looks like she popped out of a "tradwife" Instagram account while at the same time denouncing racist misogynistic right-wingers to her millions of fan is a power move.

Reminds me of how Steve Roger was the physical ideal of the "ubermench" (buff, blue eyed, white, and blonde) but he punched Nazis in the face.

[kitschyclown]

AND THEY'RE IN SO DEEP YOU KNOW SHE'S SUCH A FOOL FOR HIM SHE'S GOT A RING AROUND HER FINGER AND ABED HIRED AN IRISH SINGER BRITTA'S MARRYING BRITTA'S MARRHING BRITTA'S MARRYING JEFFERY WINGER

[hellfirenacht]

RIP Dean Pelton. You would have loved Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter and rhyming "'Cause I'm a singer" with "Jeffrey Winger"

[celestabelbethabelle]

I don't think there is a day where I don't hear the irish singer singing “Britta’s marrying Jeffery Winger” to the tune of Linger by the Cranberries in my head

[lonelyspacedragon]

The one and olny thing I will say about this

as a brasileiro let me just give some context on some things

thoses jokes? yeah they were/are pretty lets say "normalisate" here, yes they are disgusting and horrible yes, but they are also very very common

FOR FUCK SAKE OUR SONGS HAVE "novinha" in them thats a way to say young girl, like 15 years young, in a sexual way, its disgusting YES, yes it is, but is so fucking common its almost normal, we have 14 years old boys singing, as in they’are singers sell music and stuff, about sex in a very heavy way

Lissen, my uncle he is like 50 something he has a daughter, (I didn't know this thill this christmas) and he was telling me about her, how she is so hot, and tall and when he goes out with her all the men (and he means men old men 30 something old men) keeps salivating over her and he is all like hey ehat u looking at, in a don't even think of getting close to her but also in a yeah thats my daughter she is hot, and I was like okay, I was envisioning a 18-20 years old by the way he was talking about her, and then he said SHE IS 11, ELEVEN YEARS OLD, I was in shock. It unfortunately is a very very common way of seeing and treating young girls, specially if they are "already all developed"

we have a culture of sexualising young kids, for fuck sake, we had a master chef kids here, one time and one time only, in 2015, and it was disgusting, the amount of men, commenting disgusting things about one of the participants that was 13 I think, and it was so fucking disgusting and bad that we didnt had another one till 2022, exclusively because of those behaviour, we grow up in a disgusting culture of sexualising kids and young teens

to be honest, it was shocking to me when I started accompanying Cellbit and Felps again after so so many years, to see that they are leftist

its a shock because I wasn't expecting that, because I watched those people when I was young and they were too and they said some shitty stuff back there

and yes he had already talked about wanting to delete his old tweets when people wanted to take Pierre out of the qsmp because of old tweets of his and cultural differences, he said the person he was years ago is not who he is now, he said himself that he wasn't happy with his old views on women and politics and lgbt people stuff like that when the stuff with Pierre happened,

He deleted 900 tweets, but did you guys stop to think about it? Would 900 tweets be all about making sexual jokes about minors? And no one would have seen those 900 tweets of him being creepy towards kids?

Or are these 900 tweets also his old views on politics, queer people, feminism? Thinks he had already said he wanted and was deleting because of stuff like this?

lissen almost everyone that is 23+ right now was banging pans for what was basically a coup in ixi 2014 i think? when Dilma was in power and they impcheamented (i don't know how to write this shit in portugues I don't know how in english either) her over something that they(the politicians that wanted her gone - right wingers) made legal a month later, and now those same people are leftists

so yes those are shitty jokes yes, those are shitty views yes, they are, but they are also from 8 years ago, he already said stuff about that, about how his views had changed, and how he was scared that people would do exactly this, get his old tweets and use it to cancel and judge him for it, for views that he no longer has

just think people, does this say anything about who he is now? does he still do this kind of jokes? say those types of things?

if you guys go after all of the qsmp members old tweets and content, I'm sorry to disappoint you but all of them will have things that people will want to cancel them over, if you have to go dig more than one year to find bad things to cancel people over, its that not indicativii that that person no longer thinks like that? that thats no longer who they are now?

Does your tweets from 8 years ago reflects who you are now?

does all of this means you have to forgive him, ignore, watch his stuff, interact with his content? fuck no, do whatever you like and feels better for you, but also have some critical sense for fuck sake

yes if he did something he deserves to be held accountable for it, and if is something worth of being in jail he should be, if he did something criminal he should be dealt with it with the justice, deplataforming him will do jack shit if he did something thing and still walks free, what will this have accomplished?

but if its just old tweets, old jokes, bad jokes at that, but still old, old views that unfortunately are ingrained with cultural context, and that that person no longer has and no longer behaves like and believes they no longer hold, lets just calm the fuck down please

all this to say people change, lets calm down, and wait to see what will happen

[deadthatmetalhead]

Rob Halford reflects on what it was like being gay in the metal scene during the 80s;

"When you think about the glam rock movement, what it was, specifically, two bands that really pushed that for me were MÖTLEY CRÜE and POISON — and, to some effect, CINDERELLA, maybe some WINGER, L.A. GUNS," he said.

"There was a lot of stuff coming through at that moment in the glam rock era. And definitely Sebastian [Bach, then-SKID ROW singer], you know, when guys looked like girls. And that worked. And I could never quite figure that out, because of the homophobic stuff that was going on in the '80s. And there's all these guys with makeup on, looking ... I have to watch my words here, but you know what I'm saying? Looking in a specific way, that everybody else is like, 'Yeah, man, they're really hardcore,' and all that kind of stuff. And then me as a closeted gay man, it's like, 'Am I missing something here? How am I not able to come out for fear of losing my career and my band, but these guys are going out there looking like they do, and everybody's falling over them?'

"We always knew Rob was gay," K.K. said. "Because the thing is back in the days — in the '60s and particularly early '70s, when everything was still kind of behind closed doors and stuff like that — people felt a bit more comfortable around us because we would hang around in groups and gangs and we would always know that that guy is different to us and that girl is different."

Rob also wrote about how PRIEST came to adopt its iconic leather look, saying: "The biggest myth about this new stage gear is that I had somehow masterminded the image as a cover and a vent for my homosexuality — that I was getting a thrill from dressing on stage as I'd like to dress in the street, or the bedroom. This is utter bollocks. I had no interest in S&M, domination or the whole queer subcult of leather and chains. It just didn't do it for me. My sexual preference was for men, sure, but I was — and still am — pretty vanilla. I've never used a whip in the boudoir in my life. Or, have I? Hang on, let me think for a minute…"

INTERVIEW TAKEN FROM THIS ARTICLE

[scotianostra]

Happy 87th Birthday Ronald Grant Browne born 20th August 1937 in Edinburgh, Ronnie is a founder member of The Corries.

Born to John Albert 'Bertie' Browne, a truck driver, and Anne 'Nancy' Browne. He was raised in Edinburgh. Aside from singing, Browne's other abilities are painting, sketching and rugby, having once played as a winger for his secondary school Boroughmuir. He met Roy Williamson on the rugby field, as Williamson had played as a winger also for Boroughmuir's rivals Edinburgh Wanderers.

This led to meeting multi-instrumentalist Bill Smith at Edinburgh College of Art in 1955 and the formation of the Corrie Folk Trio in 1962. The group was expanded the following year with the addition of female singer Paddie Bell. Shortly after releasing three albums in 1965, Bell left to begin a solo career. With the departure of Smith, the following year, Browne and Williamson continued to perform as a duo now known as The Corries.

Browne and Williamson were regular performers on Scottish television shows and movies and in 1983 received an International Film and Television Festival gold award for their Scottish Television series, "The Corries & Other Folk". The 1996 film The Bruce features Browne's rendition of the Williamson-penned Flower of Scotland at the end. Browne appeared in the film playing the role of Maxwell The Minstrel.

Since Williamson's death in 1990, Browne continued to perform and record in the spirit of the Corries. He regularly led the singing of Flower of Scotland, de facto national anthem of Scotland, for the Scotland national rugby and football teams. During his performances, he was known to yell "COME ON!" to the audience during the opening line of the song he was singing and this has often been parodied by the BBC Hogmanay sketch show Only an Excuse?. As of 27 April 2015, Browne announced that due to emotional breakdowns during performances, he has put an end to singing in public.

Browne is now an accomplished portrait artist.

Browne met and fell in love with Patricia Elliott during secondary school, and the two married on 30 June 1959. Together they had two biological children: Gavin John and Lauren Anne Violet and one adopted son: Maurice Walter.

Gavin Browne is the eldest of the three, and has run The Corries Official Website since 1997.

Ronnie and Pat were married for 53 years until Pat died due to cancer in 2012.

Scotland the Brave Corries humourous version

Land o' the purple heather Land o' the dirty weather Land where the midges gather, Scotland The Brave Land o' the Pakistanis Andy Capp and Saturday sannies Land where they sell their grannies, Scotland The Brave Used to say in faither’s day You could hear the bagpipes play But now you hear the regal tones o' Elton John and The Rolling Stones Land that is full o' stinkers Wee fat Jews and VP drinkers Whisky put a lot o' stinkers into Scottish graves

It's all we've got - we mustn't lose 'em - Scotland The Brave Conservatives try to assure us Labour's hard-put to endure us The Kirk puts curbs on our enjoyment, government makes unemployment Never mind the day is near When independence will be here! We’ll drink a toast in younger’s beer to Scotland The Brave!

[johnschneiderblog]

It ain't me!

Faithful readers of this blog know that I'm joined at the hip, digitally speaking, with that other John Schneider, the actor/singer/songwriter (I must be feeling generous today) most famous for his role as Bo Duke in the early-80s TV show "Dukes of Hazzard."

As such, I've been accused of snubbing fans, crushing hopes and even heartlessly selling "The General Lee" (the confederate flag-infested Dodge Charger Bo piloted on his moonshining rounds).

It's my burden to bear. But associating me with the 2022 movie "To Die For" is, well ... that's taking it too far. Yes, John Schneider wrote, directed and starred in the movie. The other John Schneider. NOT ME.

I didn't know the movie existed until Thursday when I got a thank-you email from a woman in Manila, Arizona. She wrote, in part: "It's time Americans stand up to those who will not realize what we have and make a mockery of our flag and nation."

So, I found the trailer and read a little of what Schneider said about the movie: " ... What can one man do to fight the intentional decay of the greatest country the world has ever known? Speak out. Live a patriotic example. And, if necessary, die for his flag. Why..? Because she's worth it." Ah, geeze ...

Some snippets from online reviews:

" ... It's like (Schneider) teamed up with some car salesman he met at AA and shot the whole thing in his basement against an Amazon Basics green blanket ..."

"Wow … he thought calling the Native American neighbor 'Tonto' was a good look?"

"I love how right-wingers always create these geriatric, macho patriot fantasies around their identity politics where they get to pretend like they’re an oppressed minority in an intolerant country."

"The acting, dialogue, self-victimization, and plot are so ridiculously awful I can’t believe anybody spent time and money on this."

"The generation of 'get off my lawn' brings you 2 hours of MAGA talking points that liberals hate America and the youth is trash. This may be one of the most poorly shot, edited and sound captured movies in existence."

˙✧˖° — theme song: “ballad of a homeschooled girl” by olivia rodrigo.

˙✧˖° — summary: after her cfl player ex-boyfriend publicly cheats on her, raven decides to take a job as a hockey journalist and move to toronto, moving on to interviewing nhl players and covering their games. though she quickly becomes popular among the players, even earning the affectionate nickname “tiny” because of her small stature, she is certainly not ready to date again after what she’s been through… but a certain right winger is making it very hard for her to keep her promise to herself.

˙✧˖° — name: valeria “ria” cortez.

˙✧˖° — pronouns: she/her.

˙✧˖° — occupation: country singer and songwriter.

˙✧˖° — faceclaim: rachel zegler.

˙✧˖° — love interest: nico hischier.

˙✧˖° — theme song: “always sing” by raelynn.

˙✧˖° — summary: despite being born and raised in kentucky, ria has always had a close relationship with her cousins quinn, jack, and luke hughes, and by extension their love for hockey. even after being signed to a country music label at the young age of nineteen and quickly gaining success in the music industry, fulfilling the dreams she’s had since she was a little girl writing nonsensical songs in her journal, her support for her cousins remains, as does her appreciation for the sport they play, with the young woman making every effort to go to all her cousins’ games that she can make it to and even attending home games for the nashville predators when she can. and it is while attending a devils game to support jack and luke that ria meets her cousins’ captain, who might cause her to form another connection to the game of hockey.

˙✧˖° — pronouns: he/him.

˙✧˖° — occupation: defenseman for the philadelphia flyers.

˙✧˖° — faceclaim: tom holland.

˙✧˖° — love interest: jamie drysdale.

˙✧˖° — theme song: “northern attitude” by noah kahan.

˙✧˖° — summary: for nearly the entirety of his hockey career, casper has been brazenly defying the stereotype of all canadians being overly nice; at only twenty-three, he’s one of the most common fighters in the nhl, and his fellow flyers scarcely see a game go by without him being shoved into the penalty box. he’s certainly not nice off the ice either, with his barely repressed disdain for the media and tendency to get into bar fights after games. truly, casper mallory seems to make it his mission to push everyone away with his anger - but his team’s newest member, a trade from anaheim who seems to be perpetually smiling, has made it his mission to tear down the other boy’s walls, and casper isn’t entirely sure that he wants to stop him from doing it.

˙✧˖° — name: allison “ally” tanaka.

˙✧˖° — pronouns: she/her.

˙✧˖° — occupation: tattoo artist.

˙✧˖° — faceclaim: lyrica okano.

˙✧˖° — love interest: joseph woll.

˙✧˖° — theme song: “team” by lorde.

˙✧˖° — summary: ally has never really been the girl that most people have wanted to date. with her dark wardrobe, tattoos, and perpetual so-called “resting bitch face,” she was more likely to send a cute person running away than to draw them closer to her. and while she likes to tell everyone she’s fine with that, and while she would never change her appearance for anyone, there has always been a part of her that yearns to actually have someone look at her the way the girls in the romance novels she secretly reads are looked at. so when a cute hockey player who is almost ally’s exact opposite comes into the tattoo parlour where she works late one night, chasing after his drunk teammate and trying to discourage him from asking for a tattoo… well, she might not expect it at the time, but she’s about to begin a journey that will lead her to exactly what she’s always wanted.

˙✧˖° — name: benjamin “ben” bradshaw.

˙✧˖° — pronouns: he/him.

˙✧˖° — occupation: center for the vancouver canucks.

˙✧˖° — faceclaim: kit connor.

˙✧˖° — love interest: matthew knies.

˙✧˖° — theme song: “clementine” by halsey.

˙✧˖° — summary: ben has been alone for most of his life. whether it has because he was left to look after himself while his parents went on yet another business trip, or because he was eating lunch by himself in high school yet again because he was too shy to make friends, or because he was ignored by his college hockey team any time they were off the ice because none of them wanted to associate with the division’s only openly gay player, he’s never really had friends, anybody he can lean on and count on; all he’s ever had is hockey. so when he finally, after what feels like so many years of working for it drafted to the nhl and finally finds a group of supportive and caring friends with his new team, even striking up unlikely friendships with a few players from other teams, it’s hard to describe how ecstatic ben is that he doesn’t have to be alone anymore. but then his feelings for a certain maple leaf start to grow into more than just friendship, and all of a sudden ben is terrified - he doesn’t want to be alone again, but if he doesn’t figure out what to do about his feelings for matthew knies, he just might find himself in danger of it.

˙✧˖° — name: morgan jennings.

˙✧˖° — pronouns: she/they.

˙✧˖° — occupation: pop singer and songwriter.

˙✧˖° — faceclaim: reneé rapp.

˙✧˖° — love interest: quinn hughes.

˙✧˖° — theme song: “you’re on your own, kid” by taylor swift.

˙✧˖° — summary: a proud vancouver native - and a lifelong hockey fan, thanks to her mother - morgan has adored the canucks since they can remember, and relished getting to go to games whenever she could as a kid. but ever since their success as a singer skyrocketed and she became one of the most recognizable pop stars on the planet, they haven’t exactly had a lot of time to go to hockey games - so after ending her relationship with their most recent ex, she decides to run back home under the excuse of writing songs for a new album about their home city, determined to attend as many canucks games as she can while they’re at it. the ultimate goal is to reclaim the things she loved as a kid, to find their way back to who she used to be - they just don’t quite expect to develop a bond with the captain of the team she’s been loving their whole life while she’s at it.

˙✧˖° — name: harriet “harri” chadha.

˙✧˖° — pronouns: she/her.

˙✧˖° — occupation: university history major.

˙✧˖° — faceclaim: avantika vandanapu.

˙✧˖° — love interest: jack hughes.

˙✧˖° — theme song: “bubblegum bitch” by marina.

˙✧˖° — summary: harri had been making a habit of subverting people’s expectations for a very long time. after all, nobody had expected a girl who wore as much pink and cared about her appearance as much as she did to have graduated high school early; nobody had expected her to be studying history in university so that she could be a professor herself some day; and certainly nobody had expected her to become friends with one of her male classmates without dating him, much less one of the school’s best hockey players (although of course that was a stupid assumption, she had always thought, that girls and boys couldn’t be friends without being attracted to each other). but it was very much true; harri and luke hughes had clicked and become good friends not very long after knowing each other, understanding each other on a very important level, with luke being one of the few people who saw through all the pink and makeup harri wore to who she truly was. and when harri is able to attend a devils game to support luke and finally meets his older brother jack, it doesn’t take long for her to realize that the middle hughes brother truly sees her as well… the problem is that, unlike with luke, harri doesn’t think she’ll be able to be happy just being his friend.

˙✧˖° — name: kelani “lani” halia.

˙✧˖° — pronouns: she/her.

˙✧˖° — occupation: right winger for pwhl minnesota.

˙✧˖° — faceclaim: auli’i cravalho.

˙✧˖° — love interest: luke hughes.

˙✧˖° — theme song: “that’s my girl” by fifth harmony.

˙✧˖° — summary: it has been obvious to almost everyone who knows the two of them that luke hughes has been in love with lani halia since she first creamed him in a shootout on umich ice… everyone, it would seem, but lani herself. lani has always been too focused on hockey for romance, too focused on achieving her dream of making it pro so she could finally prove everyone who had doubted her wrong, which had left luke, try as he might, unable to really find a way to act on his feelings. and now, with the two of them both finally playing in the professional leagues, luke’s path to lani’s heart has just been made that much rockier… but a hughes is nothing if not determined, especially when it comes to the youngest son and the girl he’s head over heels for.
