On Gothic

a cute helpful guide on the gothic subculture that no one asked for <3

goth music springing from the late 1970s after the post punk movement was a subculture heavily inspired by the themes found in victorian gothic literature

gothic literature:

frankenstein - mary shelley

dracula - bram stoker

jekyll and hyde - robert stevenson

wuthering heights - emily bronte

rebecca - daphne du maurier

edgar allen poe <3

some keywords that come from gothic literature that can help you spot a goth song:

'dark' 'death' 'black' 'cold' 'heaven' 'hell' 'witches 'bats' 'night' 'roses' 'blood' 'church' 'forest' 'jesus' 'grey' 'horror' 'shadow' 'sacrifice' 'tears' 'ghost' 'spells' 'cry' 'love' 'haunted' 'funeral' 'cathedral'

Some other themes in a song that can help you to decide if it goth or not can be:

heavy bass

synth sounds (the song sounds like it was recorded in an empty church)

mysterious and whimsical vocals

deep vocals

lack of a (electric) guitar

The 1980's and 90's were the peak for the gothic subculture, especially in camden market, london, england

Some bands that were prominent at the time were...

Bauhaus

The Cure

Sisters of Mercy

Siouxsie and the Banshees

Christian Death

Clan of Xymox

The Cramps

Depeche Mode

New Order

Joy Division

Alien Sex Fiend

Fields of the Nephilim

Killing Joke

The Damned

Nick Cave

Softcell

Some other goth band recs:

Boy Harsher

Children on Stun

Earth Calling Angela

Molchat Doma

Forever Grey

Horror Vacui

Lebanon Hanover

London After Midnight

Male Tears

The March Violets

The Merry Thoughts

Rendez Vous

Rosetta Stone

Selofan

She Wants Revenge

Skinny Puppy

Specimen

This Cold Night

Tragic Black

Traitrs

Type O Negative

Twin Tribes

ULTRA SUNN

Xmal Deutschland

Your Funeral

The 69 Eyes

Please let me know which ones i've missed because these are just ones that I have taken from my own playlist!

The music is the number one most important part of goth subculture and you don't have to dress goth to be goth... but it sure is fun to do so! Goth fashion holds its roots in thrifting, upcycling and sustainable fashion (buying 'goth' clothes from shein, dollskill and killstar is a big no no).

Anyone can style their gothic outfits however they like but here are some examples of different styles:

Trad(itional) Goth:

Romantic Goth:

Victorian Goth:

The styles can get very similar so let me know if i’ve mixed any up!

I’ve reached the limit on the number of pictures i can add so here are some more examples of goth styles:

Corporate goth

Gothabilly

Mall Goth

Cyber Goth

J-Goth

Baby Bat

Mopey Goth

Vampire Goth

Steam punk

To end the post i'm circling back to gothic literature by listing some films too (which are often based on the books)

Everyone's beloved: Bela Lugosi in the first adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1931

The Crow 1994 which comes with a song from The Cure

Interview with the Vampire 1994

The Rocky Horror Picture Show 1975

Edward Scissor Hands 1990

The Addams family 1991 (if he's not like gomez then i don't want him)

The Craft 1996

That's all I have for now and if you made it this far thank you so much for reading and have a nice day <3

Getting into the goth subculture

ok just to clarify, nobody asked for this but i’m making it anyway

here are some great influences for the goth music subcultures

i’ve been hyperfixated on pretty much every one except metal and grunge at one point or another so i think i’m pretty qualified to make this statement.

also some of these artists are problematic so please do your research before you promote them! also i don’t support any of their actions, they just have good music that’s very influential to the scene.

anyways…let’s get started

- siouxsie and the banshees are a really great band to start out and they’re one of the most popular goth bands. they have about 12 albums and 2 compilations. they had many members at different times but notable members are siouxsie sioux (lead vocals), jon klein (guitar), steven severin (bass + keyboards), budgie (drums), and martin mccarrick (keyboard + strings)

- another great goth band is bauhaus, they are one of the pioneers of gothic rock and are often credited with making the first goth song. they have five studio albums. members include daniel ash (guitars + saxophone + lead vocals + backing vocals), peter murphy (lead vocals + backing vocals + guitar + keyboards + melodica + congas), kevin haskins (drums + keyboards + piano + backing vocals), and david j (bass + keyboards + percussion + lead vocals + backing vocals).

- another great band to start off with is the cramps (i recommend their album psychedelic jungle). many people think of the cramps as more psychobilly or punk-ish but they are also considered gothabilly and have gothic elements. they have at least 8 (i’m not sure) studio albums, 2 EPs, 2 live albums, and 4 compilations. members include, Lux interior (lead vocals + harmonica + percussion), Poison Ivy (lead guitar + rhythm guitar + bass), Slim Chance (bass), and Nick Knox (drums + percussion)

in order for a band to be goth they must play either gothic rock, post-punk, ethereal wave, cold wave, dark wave, death rock, visual kei, gothic pop, gothic metal, gothic symphonic metal or another gothic subgenre.

some more goth bands include…

- the cure (post-punk)

- sisters of mercy

- christian death (death rock)

- she wants revenge (gothic rock)

- alien sex fiend

- sex gang children

- lebanon hanover

- type o negative (gothic metal)

- o.children

- joy division

- london after midnight

- bat nouveau

- horror vacui

- the danse society

- strawberry switchblade (gothic pop/synth pop)

- depeche mode

- cocteau twins

- switchblade symphony

- fields of the nephilium

- twin tribes

- the march violets

- xmal deutschland

- clan of xymox

- pink turns blue

- rosetta stone

- plastique noir

- mephisto walz

- corpus delicti

- 13th chime

- specimen

- skeletal family

- molchat doma

- drab majesty

- altar de fey

- inkubus sukkubus

- strawberry switchblade

- the birthday massacre

- killing joke

- this cold night

- japan

- the birthday party

- paralysed age

- the scary bitches

- scarlet’s remains

- mareux

- she past away

- bloody dead and sexy

- rose garden funeral party

- mephisto walz

- this cold night

- cold cave

and more!

edit: just a note. you do not need to dress goth to be goth. goth fashion is optional. if you choose to dress goth but don’t listen to goth music you are just alt. the only way to be goth is to agree with the beliefs behind it and listen to the music (you can also listen to other genres in addition to goth).

some beliefs of the gothic/alt community are:

- there is beauty in darkness, pain/sadness, and the macabre

- rejection of conservatism

- rejection of conformity

- anti-war

- anti-racist

- anti-fascist

- anti-authoritarian

- pro-LGBTQ

- pro-choice

- anti-capitalism

- and other leftist or anarchistic beliefs

also…

if you agree with the beliefs but nothing else you are just a leftist/anarchist

if you listen to the music or dress goth but don’t agree with the beliefs you’re not alt and/or you are considered a “poser”. right-wingers cannot be alt because they contradict eachother.

if you listen to goth music you are goth

if you agree with everything you are goth

スブロサ - SUBROSA

This was one of the few album tracks that was legally previewable before the album launch, and even just from a brief SMS snippet, it was clear that this was metal-banging Industrial EBM at its finest. The prowling panther beat of Yuta’s hip-hop bass plays off a sproingy synth-bass lick, the backbone of the 80s Industrial sound*. Endlessly repeating, weird electronic squiggles of sound are run through heavy filters to emulate robotic chatter. It even features a mentasm Hoover Synth. And, of course, the Aphex Twin-pioneered micro-edited, infinitely fast snarerushes and LFO-twiddling that seem to collapse the song into itself during the breaks.

*There’s some controversy as to the original of this tone: depending on who you ask, it was invented by either NU Unruh hammering a giant spring with Einstuerzende Neubauten (the ‘Bassfeder’ comes in about 0:17); or Chrislo Haas’ analogue synth work, as one of the founders of DAF, a band whose aggressive minimalism would become the blueprint for the European EDM sound.

Yokoyama-san’s working notes on the track reveal the incredibly complex editing work, like an auditory jigsaw puzzle. (The track names are incredible: "Dissonance Progress"; "Pitch Black Night"; "Future Breaks"!) You can see the beats double, quadruple, multiply exponentially as the cuts become smaller and denser. The stereo manipulation is mindblowing - truly a song made for headphones! - as sounds flicker and skitter and pan in every direction. He said that Imai “insisted on leaving out his guitar (even though the guitar can still be heard)”. £5 reward to anyone who can spot any guitar on the track!

Imai also revealed in an interview, that this song was originally written during the Izora sessions, and rewritten for Subrosa. Imai’s playful raps and dizzying flow are so perfect for the song’s swaggering attitude that I can’t imagine how Sakurai would have sung it. I fear it might have become something in a playful, slightly silly vein a la Gustave. (I love Gustave as much as anyone, but it has a very different atmosphere.) But instead, Imai created a blueprint for a far more dance-oriented, synthesiser-based B-T Mk II. Vocals here are just another instrument: more of a rhythmic element than a melodic one; a background textural element to provide colour, rather than the main figure of the foreground.

Favourite moments: oh, there are just too many to count. Maybe the very end of the ecstatic drop, where the Jungle beats from 2:20 give way to the scratched (phased out? Leslie-speakered?) vocals coming in at 2:34. Very Beastie Boys – memories of my first time hearing their mixture of acid rock and hip-hop on Check Your Head in pot-scented student digs in New York. Can you imagine the stereophonic fun they could have with a pair of these babies?

The NOIZE solos at 3:11 and 3:27 (these would sound great live on a theremin, Mr. Imai, hint hint!) The stereo-panned sawtooth tremolo synth that comes in during the very last verse (starting at about 4:05) like a flash forward to the extreme noise-gating of Muyubyo’s guitars? It’s the tiny sonic details that make Buck-Tick so moreish – I’ve listened to this song dozens of times and on each deep listen, I catch another tiny sound I hadn’t noticed before. (I just caught a tiny stereo twitch in the synths at 1:58!) It works as a pop song – the irresistible panther rhythm and the strutting vocals drive it along with charismatic velocity – but the detail and complexity of the soundscape is like the whirling, ornate pattern of a Persian carpet you can lose yourself in forever.

[zirawrites]

Companions react to glitches! Engine shenanigans like violent ragdolling or flying cars, *that one* engine trick where you can fly on it, out-of-bounds, settlement structures defying all laws of nature, dupes, etc.

Cait: Cait watched in horror as the raider she shot flew upwards instead of falling on his back. Then he collapsed boneless in the road, his limbs at impossible angles. It was as if he hadn't weighed anything at all. Cait frowned and shook her head as if it would knock the image away. "I never saw any of this shit when I was on chems," she scowled.

Codsworth: Codsworth couldn't believe his three metal eyes. There were two settlers shopping at the same stall in Diamond City. Both women wore the same buttoned-down shirt with tattered jeans. Their dark hair was styled in matching ponytails. And they moved with identical motions; hands on their hips, heads scanning left-to-right across the wares, then folding their arms and simultaneously asking for a discount. "Um, sir/mum?" Codsworth nudged Sole to look at the identical settlers. "I can't imagine they're twins. Do you think...?" He didn't want to accuse anyone of being a synth, but their similarities were too close for comfort.

Curie: Curie had been staring at the brahmin with its heads stuck in a rock all afternoon. She had measured the animal. Drew its blood. Took its temperature. Finally, Curie relented and pulled Sole from an important meeting with the Minutemen. "I do apologize, Sole, but this could not wait. Look..." They both watched as the brahmin continued to walk forward, moving nowhere, half its body seemingly trapped not between anything, but inside the rock itself. "Do we call someone? I genuinely do not know what to do."

Danse: "Institute bastards!" Danse's profanity instantly roused the soldiers stationed at camp to their feet, but Sole made it to the front of the fold first. They watched as Danse fired at a charging gen 2 synth, and it was obvious why the paladin worried. Instead of a usual blank face, there was a chair protruding where the synth's head should be. Danse dispatched the synth quickly, then called Sole over to examine its body. "Look at this abomination," he spat. "What will those cretins think of next in the name of science?"

Deacon: Deacon was already afraid of heights. It was a miracle Sole convinced him to climb to the roof of the abandoned building already. But when he watched two raiders walk into each other and... stay inside themselves... each facing a different direction but walking toward the building, he wiped the sweat from his brow and spoke to Sole in a voice five octaves higher than usual. "Uh, hey partner? We gotta go. Now, if possible."

Hancock: The mayor wasn't sure if that car was floating because of the jet he hit an hour earlier or new Institute technology, but he didn't think it was his place to find out. Hancock simply turned away and walked silently back to Goodneighbor. Let some poor Brotherhood bastard find it first.

MacCready: MacCready shrieked and nearly climbed up Sole at the sight of the car pinwheeling towards them. It was as if the vehicle was weightless, and it clipped through the road itself. Sole pulled on the merc's arm and blindly rushed them both to the safety of an overpass, which the car moved through without noticing them. "What the... I just... I've never seen..." MacCready was speechless, all the breath having left his lungs from his scream moments ago.

Preston: "I know what I'm looking at, Sole. It's the why I still haven't figured out." Preston crossed his arms and stared at the water purifier with a jukebox sticking halfway through it. The pump was still active. And the stereo was playing the Ink Spots. He just couldn't understand how both were possible. "Is it a prank?" Preston asked, mainly to himself. "A very high-tech, creepy prank?"

Piper: "Blue! Blue, get in here!" Sole nearly knocked down the door reaching Piper, but quickly realized she wasn't in danger. In fact, the reporter was positively beaming as she gestured to a table full of purified water. "Look what happens!" Piper placed a water bottle in her satchel, and when she pulled it out, another one came with it. "They're somehow duplicating. Do I have a magic bag, or was the first water bottle special?" She hesitated. "Actually, if you answer that too fast I'll think you're a synth."

Nick: Nick felt like he was going insane. He had swallowed his pride to show Sole, but even they thought it was some elaborate hoax. "I'm telling you, kid. Every time I walk through the door my outfit changes. And when do you ever see me part with my signature coat?" Nick left the room and returned in a plain drifter outfit. He exited again and came back wearing a red sequined dress more befitting of Magnolia than a synth detective. "This is Deacon. I can't explain it. I don't even want to try. But point me to the church, because I'm about to give that spy the what-for."

X6-88: X6 had been in the Institute infirmary all day. Sole stood anxiously by his side, reading his charts and advocating for him to doctors. It was no use. He had holstered his gun, but somehow his arm stayed suspended in the air; hand formed as if still squeezing the trigger. "They may need to replace my defective arm," he stated flatly, trying not to react to the raw emotion in Sole's eyes. "You can't expect me to defend you looking like a gunless cowboy, now can you? People might start approaching me thinking I'm a Minuteman." Sole laughed at that.

[parasiticmercury]

In this post, it will cover the whole summary for the Parasitic Mercury lore. This will be extremely long. TW // MENTION OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL AND DEATH.

The band began when Scal Holden invited Dave Silver to jam one afternoon on May 29, 1992. A few days later, Dave invited his girlfriend, Zoe Kerstin to do the drums. After creating a few songs and performing at small events, they decided to take this band seriously and eventually, on August 13, they named it Parasitic Mercury, after Zoe read a fact that parasites contained heavy metal in their system.

Throughout the year, they started performing in bigger venues—from just performing a couple of songs at a house party to eventually performing in bars and restaurants. Soon, they signed a record deal with GAC Records and they went to release an album in 1993, called Parasitic Mercury, also known as the Red Album.

In 1994, they released another album called Hydrargyrum Amalgamation, which sounded almost identical to their debut except their sounds are much more refined. At this point, Scal allowed Zoe to make contributions, not just lyrically but vocally as well. In 1996, she practically dominated the third album, which is Fuck the Unholy Angels. It is widely famous due to her death growls and because of this album, Parasitic Mercury entered mainstream and radio stations started playing their songs worldwide.

During the Unholy Angels World Tour, Scal fell sick several times and they had Vergie Vengeance's keyboardist, Apple Farscotch, temporarily take the bass, considering they knew a variety of instruments while Zoe did the vocals. Impressed, Zoe eventually asked Apple to join the band and they became their rhythm guitarist.

The band started to have problems in 1997, especially when Scal was arrested for drunk driving, causing him to be imprisoned for months, and Dave quitting the band several times due to his anxiety, preferring to work at various local jobs instead. This caused a huge delay to the production of their fourth album, Despite that, the band still managed to record it into completion, and eventually they released it in 1998, labeled Into the Depths of Silence.

The fourth album is also Apple's first recording with the band and they have approved the usage of synth music. At this point, there was a noticeable shift on genres, while they retained the overall style. Apple was praised for their musicianship and contributions, and it was well received like the previous album.

On November 23, 2001, their long time producer, Geoffrey Gunner passed away after an overdose one night. It didn't take long for the record label to replace him and on December 2, Steven Karsken took over the job as the producer.

To the band, working with Karsken was hell. Not only he didn't listen to the band's opinions and took the matter in his own hands, but allegedly the workplace was overall toxic. This caused Dave to quit the band for the second time.

Since Karsken made most of the decisions, their fifth album, Spinning, Stabbing, Sealing was a massive commercial failure by the time it was released in 2003. One of its criticisms was "too much of synth" and "the band doesn't know what they're doing". Dave later also expressed distaste towards the fifth because he felt like "he didn't contribute to anything because they have Apple do all the synth instruments".

The band eventually took a darker turn when Apple was murdered during a brawl at a bar on April 8, 2006. With them failing because of the fifth album and the fact they couldn't continue without Apple, they eventually broke up on May 27.

For years, the surviving three members decided to focus on their personal lives. Scal went to a rehab and therapy as he was determined to get better, while Zoe and Dave started a family, with Zoe's fraternal twin sister Kayla, volunteering as a surrogate mother.

Eventually, on April 15, 2022, the band reunited once again as a three-member band. They never returned to GAC Records and instead they're now under an independent label called Hydrargyrum Records. Scal also announced that they'll be returning to their original roots for the sixth album.

overly specific playlists for overly specific occasions 2024 edition

winter 23/24. dreamy mix of many different genres for when someone asks me hey what have you been listening to lately. old songs new songs happy songs sad songs everything from adrianne lenker to marco castello, a frequent rotation

lover. i definitely did NOT make this one to impress one specific person whose taste matches mine in the most miraculous of ways no no. but we will fall in love listening to beach house

fall for you. have you ever put on mitski i'm your man and leonard cohen i'm your man back to back. no? well here's your chance. and i can tell you more about this world, so much more

tasty tunes. synth-heavy dance tunes, good vibes. la femme, miel de montagne, LA priest etc. dinner party background groove

summer roads. one thing almost all of the tracks in this playlist have in common is that they were at some point featured in a skate vid. many classics (bob dylan, cocteau twins) modern classics (frank ocean, cass mccombs) and timeless jams (daniel johnston, mazzy star)

touch. this one's for lying on a big old sofa with your best friends half asleep drunk on love and too tired to go to bed. rhye, james blake, kevin morby

what's the last four years been about? when jockstrap said. What's it all about. i give you bon iver, i give you angel olsen, i give you fiona apple with the answers. i give you black country new road with the musical equivalent of a greek tragedy. dig in.

springsummer 23. don't recall what kind of headspace i was in for this one but we're feeling a wide range of emotions here. tamino and yo la tengo, andrew bird, dope lemon, king krule. the overarching theme may or may not being hopelessly in love with someone impossible

all the in between. mama you've been on my mind. another lovesick one. lots of oldies with new stuff sprinkles in, a short and sweet moment in time. might have cried to this playlist, or written notes app poetry.

transitional. it's raining and you're gazing out a train window dramatically, there is a sweet nostalgia in this but also darkness, rough around the edges. from amyl and the sniffers to flume, moodswings and movement.

𝟏𝟎 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫

1 — Hercules has a very low alcohol tolerance. || LMAO this one being first. No, Herc’s got an abnormally HIGH tolerance. It takes a LOT to get him drunk, which is partly why it was so difficult for him to quit. He just grew accustomed to drinking so much all the time since mortal alcohol is so weak compared to what his body can handle. 

2 — Hercules tackles and wrestles people to show affection. || Absolutely. 100%. Herc LOVES showing physical affection, and if he knows someone can handle being picked up, wrestled, and squeezed by him, he’s going to go for it. 

3 — Hercules will go feral. Watch out. || Yeah. Have you seen his berserker rage?? It’s less common these days now that he’s in therapy and in control of his emotions, but he used to be notorious for losing it. 

4 — Hercules is going to hell. || Well, he did. Multiple times. Kind of. His mortal half was sent to Tartarus when he died the first time. And 12025 Herc’s whole deal is that Zeus banished him to Tartarus for … Kissing Wolverine. 

5 — Hercules is a switch. || Very very iffy. 95% of the time he’s a top. Very seldomly will that change. If you ask nicely about his time with Queen Omphale, he might offer a story or two that will raise eyebrows. 

6 — Hercules has a knife under their bed. || More like a sword. Or spear. Or his mace. Or a gun. He has an arsenal of weapons all over his apartment. 

7 — Hercules is awful with kids. || Generally he’s great with kids. Got a soft spot for them, too. He’s probably got kids of his own scattered around the globe, and he very willingly funds his former lovers’ lifestyles (even buys them homes!), but having a relationship with whatever children he’s fathered is a different story. That’s where he’s awful with kids. It’s difficult for him even now to overcome the guilt of what happened to his kids with Megara ages ago. So he’s distant. 

8 — Hercules was dropped out of a window as a child. || Probably. He’s durable, though. 

9 — Hercules is an oldest child. || When it comes to his mortal family, actually, yes. He had a younger twin brother, Iphicles. Otherwise, on the divine side, he’s the youngest of all the Olympians. He’s the baby of the divine family 

10 — Hercules listens to 80s music. || That’s his main music taste! He’s heard music from all over the world, all genres and eras, and he’s a musician in his own right — but there’s something about 80s synth, glam rock, and hair metal that he just really, really appreciates. And he roadied for Adam Ant, so take from that what you want.

Were there any lawsuits over the "sampling" of copyrighted music on the Fallout 1 & 2 soundtracks? Were royalties paid for the samples? I love Mark Morgan's work, but it is rather blatant. Great blog btw!

Hey, thanks for the question and thanks for the compliment! :D

In February 2008, Mark Morgan was asked the following question during an interview on website, Game-OST:

“Timothy Cain said that he likes dark gloomy music and is a big fan of Aphex Twin. Some Fallout compositions are quite similar to work by Aphex Twin - were you influenced by Timothy's tastes?”

Mark Morgan replied with this:

“When Interplay was thinking of using me for the game, they sent over some music that they liked and wanted me to do something similar as a demo. The CD they sent me had no titles or artists’ names, just a few pieces of unidentified music. I gave Interplay what they wanted and I think they must have used some of my demo in the final game. At the time, I wasn’t familiar with the work of Aphex Twin. To me, it was just my interpretation of what Interplay asked for.”

On October 10, 2022, Tim Cain said this in an interview with website, DualShockers:

“I had so much of this music that I gave the list of my music to Mark Morgan and said I wanted the game to sound like this." Included in the list were Brian Eno's Discreet Music, Ambient Works 1 and 2 by Aphex Twin, and a CD called Ambient 4: Isolationism.”

From the information provided above, Mark Morgan was not familiar with Aphex Twin at the time, and he was providing Interplay with what they asked for. We're not aware of any lawsuits regarding the use of any samples, however.

Additionally, in an interview on January 28, 2015 with website The Audio Spotlight, Mark Morgan provided a list of gear that he used during his time on Fallout and Fallout 2:

“At the time I was using a NED Synclavier as my workstation controlling a few midi synths and modules like a Nord 2, Virus, PPG 2.3, Jupiter 6 and a rackmount synth called a Morpheus by EMU. The Morpheus, like a lot of the rackmount modules in the ‘90s, had this little screen with tons of pages to figure out which made programming painful, but once I figured out the programming architecture it yielded some interesting clangy metal sounds and some strange ambiences, which became a big part of the palette and sound of Fallout.”

no way is that ANDREW MILLER.. they’re a 44-year-old SYNTH notoriously known for being SECRETIVE & RECKLESS but there are some people who have seen them being SPUNKY & ENTHUSIASTIC. if you ask me, they remind me a lot of smashed bottles and broken glass, bruises in random places and falling in style but that could just be because they’re considered THE STUNTMAN around town. just keep an eye on them & see if their true colors shine through..

Name: andrew miller Nickname: drew Age: 44 Orientation: pansexual Relationship: single (closed) Family: axel miller (twin brother) Occupation: stuntman Residence: upper TV Trope: THE STUNTMAN faceclaim: ryan gosling

additional information

andrew, also known in the industry as drew, went through most of his childhood thinking he was a normal everyday human kid which is exactly what his parents wanted him to think anyway. anytime he was sick, he was too young to realize it wasn't how a normal person should be sick and frankly he couldn't remember it anyway.

however as he got older he got more curious and started asking more questions about why he seemed and felt different than his twin brother, why drew was the brother who seemed to get special treatment compared to the other and that's when they told him he was a synth, rather synth adjacent.

he was told finally that he was a clone of his brother due to the fact they had lost one of the twins at birth, using the excuse that he didn't want the other to grow up to be an only child when it was really them not wanting the public to know what had really happened. they wanted to remain this picture perfect couple that the world was used to.

they knew that cloning was illegal so he was sworn to secrecy which wasn't hard considering he liked his life. they helped him come up with the lie that it was just a major coincidence that the two came out identical but that was only ever if people found out he was a synth which he's done a pretty damn good job at hiding so far.

he was always clumsy as a kid, constantly getting hurt and needing to be taken to the doctors which considering his circumstances always made his parents both angry and worried they'd get found out

his parents had taken him to set one day and he saw how the whole thing worked including what a stuntman was and fell in love with the idea of 'getting hurt' and getting paid for it so his parents paid a professional stunt worker to teach him everything they knew

it worked out, his clumsiness went down significantly and he was no longer getting injured so when he was old enough he started working as one and has been a stunt guy ever since. he's never cared about being in the light or needing to be on camera in that way so this worked out perfectly for him.

Thinking about Rios being Dad to Soji and Elnor, and possibly Dahj from that one au with @talvenhenki we bounced around the other day due to an edit post, and I want to cry because he'd be so hesitant at first but then he'd realise Soji and especially Elnor trust him without hesitation, and that would kinda drive him to try even harder to be good at it, such as:

Calling Elnor "hijo" and Soji "hija" (which is already canon!).

Teaching them to play football. Soji may or may not know some of the basics already, but Elnor definitely doesn't. It's all new for him and he's so excited, keeps kicking a ball around all the time and asking Rios if he's doing it right.

Bringing Soji her favourite snacks from the replicator, then hearing she developed a liking for real tomatoes while on Nepenthe and making sure La Sirena is always stocked with those.

Teaching them Spanish (especially swear words. Raffi and Picard are Not amused, but Seven totally approves).

Asking Elnor to teach him basic swordfighting skills as a bonding activity.

Play-wrestling with both of them. More often than not he ends up on the floor under them. (Raffi teases him about this, but honestly, what's a regular human guy to do against a Synth and a Qowat Milat? And Raffi can't prove that he'd let them win anyway!)

In the Dahj lives AU, he helps make a very traumatised and distrustful Dahj feel more at home onboard La Sirena. He's one of the first, if not the first, crewmembers that Dahj starts to trust.

He's also the only one (bar Elnor) who can easily tell the twins apart!
