[mitziagainsttheworld]

intro post!!

hi, i’m mitzi!!

this blog is run by @clairyclue

this blog is part of my personal au’s canon- which means Mitzi is around 15, her mom is Mini, and she grew up in SoCal. when she auditioned for Rockafire, she moved to LA with her aunt Queenie (who was Mini’s stepsister, when Queenie’s mom Foxie Colleen was married to Mini’s dad. theyre divorced now.) she spends the rest of her teenage years living with Queenie (and later, Queenie’s girlfriend Barbara Stringband.)

concept unification is when Rockafire takes up a business deal with a shady manager, Chuck E. Cheese, to collaborate with his business and save their band after their previous manager Klunk quits.

things don’t go well.

anyway that’s the majority of it!!

this blog is a safe space, no NSFW, feel free to send asks!!

Hey everyone, sorry that I haven't been very active lately, I've been mostly maining Twitter but I really want to stop using it after this stupid rebranding they're making, they're only doing it because they know people will continue using the platform, so I rather not use it entirely.

Anyways, here's drawings I made of Barbara Stringband, Crusty the Cat and Lil Queenie.

[ID: a drawing of barbara stringband from major magic's rock n roll rebellion. her white neck fur is stylized to look like a goatee. she's wearing a white long sleeved shirt and a long rainbow striped vest, along with blue jeans and boots. she has a black and white guitar with white stars. she's standing on a record, with a rainbow colored musical scale with various notes on it behind her. the drawing has a bright tone. /end ID]

based on this instagram user's barbara !! just with her old guitar. she is gorgeous!

Hey guys! I so wanted to talk about it. Today I'm going to list all the animatronic characters that make me uncomfortable.

As an animatronic fancier, I really like many animatronic bands, (including some that are even lost media) animatronic characters, attractions with animatronics, EVERYTHING WITH ANIMATRONICS IN GENERAL!!!! And as always, I have a few that I find strange in my eyes, or make me uncomfortable to a certain extent. I have automatonophobia and impressively I'm not afraid of animatronic bands, (even my dream is to see the rock afire play in person), but there are some excesses that make my automatonophobia leave my anxiety to the extreme. either because of the strange way of the character OR because he tries to "imitate" a human form and fails miserably.

1. 𝐵𝑎𝑟𝑏𝑎𝑟𝑎 𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑏𝑎𝑛𝑑

firstly, Major Magic's Barbara Stringband. I don't hate her or anything BUT this very old version of her in this dark room gave me the creeps. I LOVE her old Version,style and her vibe, but today she doesn't give me that vibe anymore.

2. 𝐴𝐿𝐿 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 1- 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝐶ℎ𝑢𝑐𝑘 𝐸. 𝐶ℎ𝑒𝑒𝑠𝑒

i hate all stages of concept unification, i have a bad memory for it, and those are BAD animatronics. I hate how they had these little pupils that made me feel like they're afraid of something. and they had a weird dark stage which doesn't help with the animatronic vibe, I think they're VERY dull. I don't think I could stay in a room with these animatronics. (srry who likes them)

3. 𝐹𝑎𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑎𝑙𝑏𝑢𝑚- 𝐶ℎ𝑢𝑐𝑘 𝐸. 𝐶ℎ𝑒𝑒𝑠𝑒

Did i need to say something? Just Look at those BIG arms, and those BIG EYES. they’re terrible. Just to Look at them my Heart skip a Beat.

they are the worst thing i have ever seen

(as the limit of images arrived, I'll leave more for a part 2, if you like it, I can extend these posts)

[rockafirevevo]

of course i have a silly little spitball of a cheesy animatronic horror story. of course i do

Hiya! I did a little research on Major Magic's (which I think you've shared a couple times) mainly because of the lovely Barbara Stringband, whose design is one of my favorites. 

these photos are mostly from this photo album, their youtube channel, and here's another good look at the whole band.

one of my fav pics of her, (cw for decay) bonus vid of some time during her restoration 

anyways, looking through said photo album, their youtube channel linked above (and your posts on the matter) showed that they were restoring the animatronics and preparing to reopen in 2020, which was pretty cool and I was excited to see they weren't just going to let them rot... However I then found this article from November 2020 that says that they have since closed for good. It also mentioned that all the animatronics were sold off, and unless anyone can find any more information, are currently MIA.

Just an update, since the last post about Major Magic's was about its reopening.

---

Thank you so much for sharing! It's an absolute shame that Major Magic's didn't last very long. The pandemic sadly took its toll on them, as it did with many small businesses. Their Facebook page hasn't updated since before the closing, so I unfortunately can't tell you where the band ended up. This might be a good thing, sadly, since the restaurant animatronics fan community is full of people with very few boundaries who have been known to harass private collectors to the point of said collectors having to leave the fandom. Hopefully someday we'll get an update, though, and be able to experience the band in some form or another once again!
