#and i listen to lovejoy still

[crows-of-buckets]

One thing I do really miss about being in the dsmp fandom is the sheer amount of fan content there was like DAMN. I had like 20+ ongoing fics I was reading and each of them updated constantly so I always had fics to read. Even now I'm in a relatively popular fandom (genshin) I don't have nearly the amount of content (nothing against fic authors I love y'all and very much appreciate your work take as long as you need babes) but idk. The dsmp fandom just churned out content so fucking fast and consistently every other fandom feels oddly empty sometimes. Idk I just kinda miss it it was nice to have some fic update to read every night ://

I told my little sister “wilbur soot is moving to new york ,” and she just stared at me blankly for a few seconds before saying “the british are coming back for round two”

[anachronistic-falsehood]

good god do not go on fucking twt rn, people are looking through past tommy and wilbur clips and speculating that tommy was abused as well (whether he was or not is not important right now, don't speculate about his personal life when he's not even online to correct anyone, for the love of god can we focus on shelby), or pushing phil, tommy, jack, charlie, quackity, etc. to say something asap as if they're not probably processing the fact that one of their very good friends has been an abusive piece of shit this entire time.

ALSO (this is not defending him this is just something i've seen that is pissing me off) i've seen people saying he was a creep for making a lot of friends who are much younger than him, like teenagers. but a) phil has made friends with these same people and no one is getting pissed at him, b) being friends with people who are younger than you (YES including in their teens while you are an adult) is not a morally terrible thing, you can be friends with people who are younger than you and not be a creep, c) CALLING HIM A "CLOSET PEDOPHILE" FOR BEFRIENDING YOUNGER MEN IS JUST TAKING EYES OFF OF SHELBY AND TRYING TO PUT IT ON THE YOUNGER MALE CCS YOU ENJOY. for the love of god stop focusing on the male streamers who haven't even had a chance to say something yet and focus on SUPPORTING SHELBY. THE VICTIM.

ok because I assume there's a big enough overlap between DSMP fans and ParkCiv fans im asking you guys. does anyone know bands similar to Lovejoy with similar vibes and styles? or maybe a band thats done decent covers of Lovejoy songs?

been trying to get them off some oc/character playlists forever now but i cant find any good replacements for a lot of their music

[laromlab]

Today I got called a mentally insane psychopath because I still listen to Lovejoy...

Like girl just bc Wilbur did that shit doesn't mean I'ma do it too tf? I just like his music, my fucking bad ?? 💀💀

Hey! Slightly different post here, but i feel the need to say something important.

Lovejoy used to be my favourite band, i have been in their top 0.1% of listeners for the past two years. That being said, the frontman is an abusive asstwat.

So, friendly reminder, Spotify(not sure about other music apps) has a feature where you can access audio files from your device through a playlist usually titled 'local files'. If you download videos, or screen record them from youtube and convert them to mp3, they'll show up there. No revenue goes to artists if you listen to their music from a download in your local files, and you can add tracks from your local files into playlists.

if you want to go a step further, you can download the unofficial lyric videos from other youtube accounts, then convert those to mp3 instead of the official one.

You can do this with individual songs, or entire albums. If you have a cd or cassette already, no revenue goes to the artist per listen, so if you like the music just hold onto it imo, and you can usually rip the music from the cd or cassette onto others, or onto a laptop.

The same thing goes in reverse, if there's another album you really like, you can download the mp3 as before, and put it on a blank cd or cassette and decorate the case yourself!

I don't think I can let go of Lovejoy easily, so this is what I'll be doing, and I have such a strong attachment to ycgma and msr that I couldn't give it up. Instead, download and listen to unofficial versions so you can enjoy music without supporting an abusive person who is believed to still be dangerous :D

If Lovejoy comes out with new music, I'm unsure what I'll do then, but the same practice still applies, download from unofficial accounts and listen separately!!! I would fully support joe, mark and ash if they decided that once the tour is over they want to split lovejoy up, though unfortunately i don't think they will, given they have probably witnessed the abuse before and not done anything :/

All this to say, even if the members of your favourite band are shitheads, you can listen to their music if you go through the right processes! Just don't allow for profit to be made <3

imo there’s really no way to separate the Minecraft roleplay characters from their creator bc they’re so intertwined ?? like idk i was reading up on the Wilbur situation and like… still deciding to write/draw for the ‘character’ is still supporting Wilbur 😭😭😭

[strange-calathea]

Honestly do not understand how people are still listening to Lovejoy/Wilbur Soot

Like most of his songs are shitting on EXACTLY WHAT HE DID because he wanted to seem trustworthy and it worked. How do you not feel gross listening to him ???? /Gen

Also there are so many artists with the same general vibe who are doing it better!! It's not that hard to just listen to someone else

"but he apologized" I'm pretty sure he did not. Like literally I don't think he even said sorry in his response. If he did I'm sure it was followed by a "but" because he really doesn't think he's in the wrong

Edit: hey im not here to argue. If you support him I'm just gonna block you and move on , I'll see if you have a point but if you don't I'm not gonna argue with the wall. I have better things to do than listen to ppl try to defend an abusive & manipulative man<3

I'm back!

I'm glad I took that small step away from posting (I may of peeked back in just to see what was happening), it let me think over some things and process some emotions. Plus I wanted to wait until more info came out and I'm glad I did.

I'm glad that Shubble was able to speak out about what she experienced and I'm glad her abuser is being held accountable. In the end it shows how we know nothing about these people and anything could be happening behind the scenes.

I won't be deleting anything since I don't want to erase something I put time and effort into, it's not my fault the content creator turned out to be a bad person nor is it anyone elses. We didn't know.

I'm going to keep drawing the characters but with a few name changes, with the way the smp was dropped we can take it for ourselves and do what we want with it. Kind of how people make fan games for Off (obscure (?) RPG game). And they intentionally distanced themselves from it too, abandoned it. At this point the lore is up for grabs.

Go support Shubble and Lexie!

transitioning from one faggot band to another can sum up my life pretty well (green day -> mcr -> fall out boy pipeline)

[captainobviois]

Call me what you like is so unironically good and It’s the only thing getting me through the day

When I’m listening to music on shuffle and a Lovejoy song comes on

[sudden-memory-loss]

spotify wrapped is so fucking funny when you don't use spotify. like, 'you listened to one genre', yeah bud, i guess i did. you're lucky I even did that
