nilwen lore

- fantasy engineering student, total dipshit

- got really into crypto at some point :| probably like one of her worse exes bc shes not online enough to care or, truly, understand (mood)

- crypto boom and she suddenly had a Lot of money. or like that gamestop think idk i truly know nothing money is fake just play along here

- dropped out of uni like last semester before she was supposed to graduate. as opposed to just miserably failing her finals and never turning in her thesis

- realised that her money was entirely fake and she couldnt actually like pay rent w it or anything. cringe. supremely broke.

- fighting w her stepdad atm so she wont even consider moving in w her mom. she does call like once a week though but she will only talk to her half siblings even though she pretends shes too cool for all of that

- idk what her dads up to but thats also not gonna work out. i think hes just too much of Just Some Guy and nilwens like. no i cant live w my extremely divorced dad who wants me to "do something with my life". gross.

- both parents r like. well this is pathetic but we cant just let her bum off her various shitty exes forever so they reach out to Every distant relative looking for somewhere she can live

- zils just some cousin bbut cousin used in the loosest sense of the word. are they actually cousins are they more distantly related is it some weird family friend situation who knows. anyways zil obviously needs a new roommate now so nilwens like well fuck yeah ill just leave behind the whole world i knew and move somehwere new i know literally no one this is fine ill make friends im normal

- anyways both her and zil are just the worst fucking roommates and they hate each others but in kinda like a sister way (shoutout to my sister only reasonable family member)

- anyways they dont end up murdering each other but nilwen probably moves out within six months

- idk what nilwen does at that point bc i cant imagine her having a job (...mood) (but in a less chronic illness way and more of a. what is she DOING this is fantasy world girl get it together. join an adventuring party idc) (alt universe she apprentices at the gangs shop and is just so bad at her job but they feel too bad to fire her because of how pathetic she is. even though she has an air of just being normal) (this is revealing too much abt me as a human being good luck deciphering where im at, emotionally, rn)

i honestly cant even tell if the trump admin has covid bc nothing they say is true ever. they could be lying so they can later claim trump beat it easy and theres nothing to worry about, while also getting him out of debates and making him out to be some folk hero while also taking time away from more pressing news breaking. this administration isnt stupid, they have a vested interest in looking stupid as hell but this is planned, not them accidentally destroying our lives. 

however even if he does have it if he dies (which yknow i will also be insufferable abt fuck that guy sorry) the waves of alt right violence will be unprecedented while they say anyone vaguely left or center in politics started this and deliberately spread it to trump thru biological warfare. if he doesnt die he will still be held up as a martyr and win even more sympathy for the election. 

i want god to make his call and take him out if possible (but yknow rich ppl have the best medical care in the world lmao they dont just DIE from getting sick that easily unlike us ~peasants~ who either die or go into medical debt) but like everything in life rn i dont like any foreseeable outcome. if he wins the election itll suck if he looses who knows what the alt right will do, whos to stop him from refusing to leave and becoming a dictator? does he even fucking have this disease? if he dies the violence will be horrific and if he doesnt the plague will just get worse as no one takes it seriously. i hate it here. i want off this train 

[therosewoods]

you've been pretty quiet about the whole ptv thing and the drama with mike. what are your thoughts about it? you used to be a big ptv blog, right?

lol yes is definitely used to be a ptv blog!! 

ok so i’ve been pretty vocal about this on my twitter and my private instagram account (as well as in my real life lol) but you’re right i haven’t really said anything here. i don’t really have a reason for that, i just haven’t had the motivation to write out a big post since my opinion is very much out there on other platforms. that being said, i will throw in my thoughts now that i’ve been asked about them:

okay, so like you mentioned, i was a HUGE ptv fan. i still very much am, but it used to be my entire life. these guys are the reason i’m in the scene at all and they were my first ever concert. i’ve been listening to them for nearly five years (seventh grade to junior in high school). i’ve seen them live ten times and i’ve saved every piece of confetti and every ticket i’ve ever gotten from going to their shows. i even have tony’s pick (which i picked up from the ground and stuck IN MY MOUTH so i wouldn’t lose it until i got to my hotel room) so, huge fan right? right. 

just before all of this happened, i saw them at the same place, same festival i saw them at for the first time, over four years ago. i was on top of the world bc this show reminded me again how much of a ride or die i am for these guys. with all of the shit about gross band guys coming out, i though about how lucky i was that this would never happen to my band (lol). like, i’ve always thought that i was lucky this way, bc when all of that shit with front porch step back in the day, ptv were my guys and they’d never done anything wrong up to that point so i was okay. 

then this stuff with mike happened. i saw someone vague tweet about it, so i was confused and i had to dig through twitter to find the original post. when i read it, i felt sick. at first i completely doubted it, but as i kept re-reading it and going through the thread, the more i started to believe it. i didn’t want to think that someone i loved for so long could be so irresponsible, but it kind of added up to me. 

my school has late starts on wednesday, so instead of going in at 8 like i usually do, i went in at like 9:30. and i was so sick and upset that i ended up going home early bc i just… couldn’t handle it. like… one of my favorite people was now completely different to me and i couldn’t deal. 

now, one thing that really bothered me about this whole thing was how long it took them (or anyone else!*) to make a statement. I completely understand that it does take time for people to release statements, but in my opinion this took too long. i mean i can somewhat understand because it was around thanksgiving but it REALLY rubbed me the wrong way when they were posting about their black friday sales while keeping the whole situation hush, hush. it may have been their team doing that for them, but it looked really shady and like they were brushing this under the rug so as not to interfere with the most profitable time of the year.

*and what i mean by “or anyone else!” is that Alternative Press, Kerrang!, and Rock Sound did not say ANYTHING about this situation until AFTER the statement came out. with other bands in the scene, they write articles almost immediately and update their readers as more information comes out, and then once a band finally releases a statement, they end with that. but they didn’t do anything with pierce the veil. the only websites i found talking about this was tiny underground music blogs that gain no traction and that i had to DIG to find. again, this makes it look shady and like they’re deliberately sweeping things under the rug. i don’t want to outright accuse them of doing that or anything, but it definitely looked bad.

anyway, i worried myself sick waiting for their statement. i checked literally every day and it was the biggest thing on my mind. i found out that they released a statement when someone on twitter posted about it. now, (and again this is gonna be over thinking things, blah, blah) but it does bother me a LITTLE that they only posted this on their facebook (and have since deleted the post), as a lot of people don’t use facebook. it would have reached more people if they had posted a link to the statement on their twitter and released the statement in full on their tumblr page (also pls feel free to correct me if they did post it on their tumblr and have since deleted it! i just can’t find it rn so maybe they did? idk.) because again, it makes it look like they are hiding this and deliberately making sure that it reaches less people. the only way i found the post was going to the Alt. Press twitter and scrolling down to find the like they posted. (which i have now noticed seems to be missing from their website…)

now, i don’t really have many issues with the statement, other than the fact that the way they worded it makes it sound like mike could be allowed back in the band. “So, I have decided to take a break and step away from my position in the band..,” and, “While away from the band…” these two phrases make it sound like he will come back, which, in my opinion, is a horrible move and could seriously jeopardize their careers. 

i mean, honestly, how many parents are going to allow their kids to go to these shows now that they know the drummer has been accused of sleeping with a minor? there is seriously no fucking way my parents are letting me go to their shows, and these are two people who have loved ptv along with me for years. it just doesn’t seem appropriate to have him back when the majority of their fanbase is the age the girl he “dated” was, or younger. also, doing so would completely change the dynamic of their tours. if he’s let back in, you can kiss meet and greets and fans pulled up on stage for Bulletproof, goodbye. those things won’t happen or be acceptable anymore. 

mike is one person of a four-piece band, and he is not the lead singer. yes, it is difficult because he is vic’s brother, and he is and incredible drummer, but he is replaceable. it would be ridiculous to allow him to ruin their careers, and if he truly cares about the other three in the band, he will permanently step away from the band so as not to tarnish their reputations as well. i sincerely doubt that at this point in time he needs the money he would get from being an active member in the band, and i’m sure that they would be more than capable of working out some sort of deal where he can still make a living off of his contributions to the band.

now, for all of the shitty comments that people give in order to justify his actions:

1) i do not care if the age of consent in [INSERT RANDOM COUNTRY/STATE NAME HERE] is lower than 18. in california, where this situation took place, the legal age of consent IS 18. Maybe you disagree with that, but the law in this state clearly states that it is illegal for an adult to be engaged in sexual acts with a minor. also, the way people are raised in different countries can be completely different to how they’re raised in a place like california. not to mention that even if this is the case, it still doesn’t automatically make it right for an adult to date a teenager.

2) stop bringing up the fact that vic and danielle have a ten year age difference. yes, they met when she was 18, but she was of age, and they weren’t in a committed relationship until she was twenty. this argument is void. next,

3) why would this girl be bringing this to light solely because she was jealous of him and was upset that their relationship had ended? wouldn’t she have done that as soon as they had ended things? also, how would she have known that they’d be at the height of their career right now? did you truly believe that 10 years ago, she thought to herself, “in 10 years i’ll get back at him for breaking my heart because that’s when they’re be really big” ??? like, they would have broken up around the time that their second album was coming out, and they were nowhere near the level of fame they are now. how was she to know that they’d be bigger than just some little local band who were barely making a name for themselves? come on.

4) you can support the band without supporting mike. they are not less of a band without him and they should not be reduced to having to live with his actions haunting them. supporting the other members of the band doesn’t automatically mean that you condone Mike’s actions. but it also doesn’t make you less any of a fan to not want him back. 

5) i dont care if you were 14 when you started dating your 20 year old boyfriend or whatever and so you think this was okay. it’s not and i’m sorry that your adult partner thinks it’s cool to date kids.

6) no, i do not believe that he is some evil, horrible, monster of a person. but i still don’t want him back in the band. he did something incredibly irresponsible and damaging some time ago, and these are his consequences. i believe that what he did was wrong, and i do not want him back. there is not changing my mind on this and if he is allowed back, i can no longer support the band. it breaks my heart to even think about that, but that is the way it has to be for me. here’s to hoping that it doesn’t have to come to that, but only time will tell.
