#back in my day...

Y'all want to see something?

I found some pictures - blurry and not great but still - of my bedroom from 37 years ago. 1986. I was 15/16 years old.

It's embarrassing... but I'm going to share anyways

This is my Judas Priest wall. They were my favourite band at the time, and this was right next to my bed. The album Turbo came out that year, and I was lucky enough to see them twice on that tour.

This was the other full wall in my room, across from my bed. There's an awful lot of Robert Plant pictures, so I must have been heavy in my Led Zep phase at the time.

I remember how hard it was to get pictures of the bands and musicians you liked. We would make trips to the bookstores or corner stores to check out all the magazines. Sometimes you'd have the misfortune of having two good pics on the back of each other, so you'd have to buy two copies if you wanted them both.

I spy: The Scorpions, David Coverdale, John Sykes, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, Jake E. Lee, Joe Lynn Turner, Vivian Campbell, Rainbow, Ratt, Motley Crue, Van Halen, GTR, Jimmy Page (around the time of The Firm), Ann and Nancy Wilson, and the Canadian metal queen Lee Aaron. All these years later and I still listen to almost all of these bands.

The next year, I still would have the Judas Priest wall, and I lot more glam metal bands joining the fold (like Whitesnake post 1987, Cinderella, Winger, etc). Then 1990 rolled around, Priest released Painkiller, and that got me into much heavier stuff... 🤘🏻

Tagging: @long-cold-winterr, @hellbent-for-metal, and @copiaslittleguineapig just for fun, lol

It's been long enough since the anime started that it's no longer acceptable that there's just no DM AMVs/edits on youtube. The state of the internet these days...

☝️The fujoshis when some bara-sign carrying fool comes along thinking its all about him because he met some homophobic yaoi-fans once (and yes, when they gush over your gayness to the point of cringe, that's homophobia.) Fujos aren't 'fetishizing' you, they're enjoying comics and films and have no idea you exist until you show up tossing commandment tablets at them like some fucking delusional Moses descending Mount Misogyny. If the 'girls you've met' have made you feel objectified, then they're creepers and everyone is fair game to them, not just 'you and yours.' In ten years, they'll be lusting for something else. Fujoshi are just fans of BL & geikomi, genres written and drawn by people of all genders that are lgbtqia themselves.

That’s it. Bard alum are never allowed to play root again unless they graduated >10 years ago or have a note from their doctor saying they don’t have a inferiority complex or a gear fetish

Maybe, instead of "filler," these episodes should be called "breathers." I think that has a more positive connotation.

Also, bring back between-season reruns over the summer, instead of a steady diet of glorified bullying for laughs "reality" shows.

Did you know that the first season of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" was a complete flop, because it aired up against a major hit? But then, people found it during the rerun season, and then it became a major hit.

How many current gems are getting cancelled 'cause they don't get any second chances with reruns?

genuinely one of the worst things that’s happened to television in the last few years (exacerbated by streaming services) is death of Filler. going from 20 episodes to 8 because “we didn’t really need that episode where the main characters went to the beach right? it had no long lasting effect” but we DID!!! we needed to see how they act without the Big Bad Plot and to establish the dynamics between the characters and lay in the sun (do they forget sunscreen? how do they react to a thieving seagull? do they get buried in the sand or do they do the burying?). the plot isn’t everything. the action doesn’t hit as hard without the quiet moments. give us character development and our little scenes back

Last summer I was on a very expedited acid come up at a music festival and my entirely unaware mother thousands of miles away was at costco and texted me incredulous at how they already had halloween stuff out for sale in the summer but all I saw was a message preview of a giant 10 foot tall skeleton with glowing eyes and "can u believe it??"

If you saw me agreeing with being annoyed about wasted helium in a fictional context and were like "I bet she has some more helium based anger in her life" good news LAPD fucked up a raid on a medical facility they thought was a pot farm and flat out ruined thousands of gallons of the stuff.

How Bill was defeated and captured by Ford in my Gf AU! He basically just tricked Bill into accepting a deal that trapped him within Ford's mind and under his control :]

He may have gotten a little out of hand though....

When someone tells you they don't have a tattoo, believe them.

Fucking up a science fair will inevitably lead to your brother being stuck in another dimension

If you stick your head in a portal, you speak in code for a little bit before you turn into a hillbilly
