#deadmau5 is my dad

[skrillien]

Deadmau5 is dad music to me, Mainly because my dad listens to his stuff all the time and I've been to a crap ton of his shows with my dad

can i borrow your dad. yeah i lost mine. to the gators, yeah. yeah it was the gators.

bell's hells and their car radios

(and crownkeepers because yes)

imogen has exactly two cds she plays interchangeably. johnny cash's 16 biggest hits and ov7's entrega total. she listens to nothing else and will not budge on this

fcg listens to easy-listening elevator music at full blast and will not talk to you until he has finished driving. it's kind of disturbing

orym does not listen to music when he drives because he likes to stay focused. he will swat your hand away from the knob if you try to turn it on while he drives. if he's in the passenger seat and only if you let him, he'll pick an r&b station

laudna turns on the radio and flips to something at random while she zones out. it's usually either screeching radio static or sports. if you bring this up she'll go "oops my bad!" and give it another crank

fearne has a cd that has 50 million different genres on it. we're talking passengerofshit into shinee into wu-tang clan into cascada into dio into janet jackson into lamb of god into deadmau5. it's never the same genre twice in a row and if you think you know what song is coming up next you're probably wrong

ashton is much like orym, but he will break your wrist instead of swat it away. they don't listen to music in the car period because they say that they want to be sure that the engine isn't backfiring

chetney listens exclusively to dad rock or self-help tapes he intentionally plays whisper quiet. he says that they give him power if he plays them at that level

dorian is usually fine with top 40 radio stations. but if he has made a new cd he will not stop being pushy about you listening to it. but it's okay if you don't want to! but you know, he really thinks you'll like it...

opal likes really obnoxious hyperpop and bubblegum pop and scream-sings in the car. if she's in the car with fearne though she'll try to sing one of the black metal songs that comes on her cd

dariax is okay with listening to whatever you want to but has a thing for showtunes, he will not admit it out loud though

morrighan on the other hand fully admits to liking showtunes and sings in the car as well. if she's not driving she'll try to act it out too

fy'ra is like fcg but she will at least try to drum up a conversation with you during the drive and her music choice is more natural-sounding instrumentals. lots of string music and the sort

braius loves dubstep. he plays it so loud it rattles the car and you can hear it muffled from a block away

Snippets from a Aaron Carter interview before he passed:

The Oh Aaron album...that was the cheesiest album I ever did in my life. I couldn't stand that frickin album. It just wasn't me. I'm still performing 'I Want Candy' and 'Aaron's Party' and 'How I beat Shaq' and then I release another album called Another Earthquake, my fourth album [in 2002]. I was 14 at the time. It ended up being my least successful album, which was crazy to me because it was my favorite album I ever did as a child. Because I had 'Do You Remember,' 'When It Comes To You,' and 'To All The Girls' on there. I had some really great songs on there, and that's the direction I wanted to go. I wanted to be respected as an artist.

I don't want to be a nostalgia store. I did great when I was younger, I went through some family turmoil, everything shattered, but now I've learned how to produce, I went to school for it, mentored under DeadMau5, and Mark Batson and Scott Storch, I studied Bassnectar, so I'm really into - making music is my passion. So that's why the Love album, when I produced it, I was really proud of it. I have almost a billion streams on my last album.

So after Another Earthquake, we sued Lou Perlman [every group except one sued Perlman and ended up winning]. Right after my parents divorced I went back to living with my dad, and he brought me back to Lou Perlman to sign a shady deal with him when I was 17. 'Saturday Night' was the first song I ever produced, it went gold, but I'm a very instinctual person and before Perlman was incarcerated [for fraud] I told everyone I quit. We sued him for the masters so I now own the masters to my first album.

When I was younger Nick would make me drink [alcohol].

I didn't appreciate my whole family trying to - attempting to prosecute me in a malicious way...using the court system to harass me and you know, I found out in the transcripts that [my twin sister Angel and brother Nick filed restraining orders against me] with the restraining order from my sister and her husband - I found out that they were trying to get me Baker Acted and get a conservatorship over me. So they could sedate me for the rest of my life, allegedly. It was in the transcripts. Thats what they were going to do. I had to fight for my life. They didn't win.

I was dealing coke and ecstasy when I was fifteen, which is why I had a concealed weapon. Because my parents weren't giving me any money.

When my sister died [it was reported that she committed suicide], my brother Nick didn't come to the funeral..He was performing 2 hours away for a solo concert for 200 people. He thought that was more important. I was broke as a joke but I used my last bit of money to take a bus over there and tickets for my family to come to the funeral.

Nick told the press I had schizophrenia, which isn't true.

When I got on a live with Melissa Schumann [Nick Carter's alleged rape victim], that's when Nick filed a restraining order against me. The rape is past the statute of limitations, but hopefully Nick can arbitrate and pay everyone off, or whatever it is.

The fact of the matter is, when I speak, I don't get cease-and-desists or defamations of character or slander. You know why? Because I'm telling the truth. And there's circumstantial factual information that backs it up, so therefore if a lawsuit like that gets sent towards me, I will counter-sue and I will win.

Those interludes on Aaron's Party where it was supposed to be my brother and me...Nick never showed up. So the voice you hear is actually Wade Robson, he filled in for my brother.

I think Ginger [my dad's ex-wife] had something to do with both my sister Leslie and my dad's death. And I'm not gonna stop until I get to the bottom of it. After he died, she took all my dad's assets, everything that he left behind for me. He died on the same exact day that he got the divorce papers from Ginger. My father is also allergic to morphine, and Ginger's father was staying with my dad [while Ginger and my dad were divorcing] and I think he gave my father morphine..when my sister Leslie died and was found by the EMTs, she was found with whole Xanax pills lodged in her throat undissolved, and I was told later she got in a fight with Ginger, and that Ginger knocked her out in the shower and gave her a concussion.

I put my mom in rehab last year. When my dad died it hit her hard too. I just saw her plummeting, and drinking herself to death.

I got the Medusa tattooed on my face for a couple reasons. If you have bad intentions and you stare into the eyes of Medusa, as a man, you will instantly turn into stone. Because Medusa was a victim of rape.

When my girlfriend [Melanie] first told me she was pregnant, I didn't believe her, which is why I broke up with her for a few weeks, but then we got back together. She had a miscarriage. In March 2020 there was a domestic violence incident in which my girlfriend choked me, and she was arrested.

Michael Jackson did do some inappropriate things with me, I'll go into more detail in my book that I'm writing.

Strangely Familiar - Chapter 8

The next month passed by quickly. The four of them settled on an apartment, made plans and a budget, and started shopping for furniture. A lot of the basics were covered from what Adrien had, and what he didn’t have Tom was enthusiastically gifting to the four of them.

(He was on the cusp of adopting Alya and Nino. It was only a matter of time.)

All the while, Rena Rouge kept up with her patrols, the Ladyblogger kept up with her reporting, and Alya kept up with her schoolwork.

Her schedule became cramped and even more unbearable than usual, but still, she got through, until finally, finally it was time to start moving things into their apartment.

On this particular night, Alya was in her room moderating some comments when she got a phone call from Nino. (“Muslim Deadmau5” was his name in her phone.) She quickly stopped what she was doing to answer.

“Hey, what’s up?”

“Okay, I was thinking that we should move in our stuff before Adrien gets all his furniture in because it’ll be easier to navigate when there aren’t all those boxes. So, wanna make a day of it? I can help you move all your stuff, then you can help me move my stuff?”

Alya pushed herself away from her desk and looked out her window, smiling slightly. It was late, but she always stayed up late, and Nino had probably just done some sort of odd job emceeing for an event.

“Ah, fuck. I’m gonna need to find a day where I don’t have anything to do, don't I?”

“Yes. Might as well make it an event. What do you say? Are you in on it?”

Alya rolled her eyes a bit. “Of course. But how about we do my stuff second, and then my stepmom can make us dinner.”

He paused. “Uh... are you sure?”

“I’m sure she’s already planning some stupid crazy meal for me moving out, and after then, all my stuff will be gone, except, y’know, my bed and shit.”

“Ah... yeah, forgot about that. I guess it doesn’t feel real just yet.”

She smiled again. “Yeah. Tell me about it.”

The choice to move out seemed like a good one at first — hell, it was a good one — but it had all been so sudden that she’d had so many doubts about it. But in the past month, she and Nino had spent time together, not to mention all four of them with prep work for what was going on — she could be certain, even if her nerves told her not to be.

“Come on, why don’t you just come over for dinner? I’m sure my dad will want to meet you, since we will be living together. He can be kinda protective.”

“Uh... alright, then. We’ll get my stuff out in the morning, then your stuff in the afternoon and have dinner together. Sounds like a plan.”

“I’ll tell you what day I can do it, then.”

“Talk soon.”

“Bye.”

Alya leaned back in her chair for a moment and looked upward, tilting back and forth for just a little while she considered the phone call.

Trixx’s purple eyes were set on her as she did that, but she ignored him.

Best/Worst Moments of 2021

Writing one of these things cause I did it once in 2019 and I’m bored. Why not?

Best:

I GOT TO SEE MY STEPCOUSINS AGAIN THIS YEAR!!! I missed talking to them so much, they’re literally the best. It was like three times but it made me so happy, seriously.

Getting into kpop, girl groups at least. Yeah, say what you want, but I think there’s a lot of gems to be found here! Wanted to mention this cause it’s been my big fixation for this year, even if I don’t write about it a ton here. Not yet anyways.

Got tickets for my first concert!!! I’M GONNA SEE TWICE IN FEBRUARY WITH MY FRIEND!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Graduating the hell that is high school and no longer having to see the people who abandoned me ever again. Pog.

College. Less so the colleging part, but more so living on my own in the dorms. My only new friend is my roommate and we get along pretty well, so I’m also incredibly thankful for that.

Toontown Rewritten got its first major update since...idk Toonfest? And it was a damn good one, the Boiler is really fun, not to mention all the new tasks n stuff. Makes me excited for the future of TTR!

Worst:

The whole Thing surrounding Soojin. This is gonna sound stupid, but I think that’s what kickstarted my overall sadness this year, especially when I was JUST getting really into (G)I-DLE and girl groups back in January...

Earlier this year I kinda isolated myself from people. Became less active on Discord and such. It’s a really bad habit of mine when I start feeling shittier than usual.

Didn’t draw many full pieces or make videos this year because of said shittiness. It took a big tole on my creativity...but I made stuff for class and an animation tho so there’s that. But don’t worry, I’m getting back into the swing of things again!

For some reason I’ve been feeling more self concious than usual. Idk why, hope it goes away though.

The Deadmau5 x Rezz collab I’ve been waiting 3 years for being an NFT. Love the track but DAMN did that sour my excitement around it. 

Speaking of NFTs...MY DAD WON’T SHUT UP ABOUT THEM AAAAA I TOLD YOU I HATE THEM AND WILL NEVER MAKE ONE, WHY CAN’T YOU RESPECT THAT?!

Infinity Train ending. Man. :(

[skrillien]

Seeing all of your deadmau5 stuff is so fun cuz my dad is obsessed with the man and he has no idea how depraved people on the I telnet are for him it's so funny

"people" here includes me and nobody else but it is VERY fucking funny. like there are so many dickriding dudebros who take his every word as music gospel and they have no idea i'm writing eggpreg fic about him

[kaitlyncrossing]

fun things my dad said today:

“Mochi (my cat) and skittles are the same people.”  when I asked why he said “skitterish, you see.”

“I ran into a famous musician on my outing today!” (me: who??) “Deadmau5!” (me: no you didn’t) “Yes I did!  He was in the pool!” (he found a dead mouse in the pool)

there can be no question as to why I’m weird

[victorlimadelta]

multiples of 2 (smiling imp face)

(( dear god what have i done ))

2. Ever been in love?

Pidge: “i... don’t know? is being in love different from loving someone?” Matt: “Nah, gets in the way of me living my dream of being in a harem anime.” (( me: yup! ))

4. How tall are you?

Pidge: “five foot even.” Matt: “Five foot eleven. Almost as tall as you, big guy.” (( me: 5’4” ))

6. Any tattoos you want?

Matt: “Don’t even think about it, you little goblin, you’re not old enough. Me? I’m less into tattoos and more into scarification, but that’s... a lot. Already got one on my precious face.” Pidge: “which is about to get punched. i... i’ve thought about it. maybe something on my left arm for green, or something on one of my thighs for olkarion, but i’d want it done on earth, which is even farther off than my birthday.” (( me: a kabbalah tree of life on my back and a few more woodblock-print cats on my side ))

8. OTP?

Matt and Pidge, together: “sheith.” (( me: depends on fandom, but my first was yorkxdelta ))

10. Favorite bands?

Pidge: “all i listen to is nightmareowl, basically.” Matt: “There’s this—like a troupe, almost, that performs out of Idgaf-6, and you absolutely have to see it to believe it.” (( me: oh god i do not listen to good music, uhhhh, pendulum and related, a perfect circle and related, snow patrol, that’s all i can think of ))

12. Favorite song?

Pidge: “you’re supposed to know song names?” Matt, sarcastically: “The Little Einsteins theme song.” (( me: well, i have “our velocity” by maximo park stuck in my head? ))

18. Favorite color?

Pidge: “light purple.” Matt: “Orange.” (( me: primary green ))

20. Where do you go when you’re sad?

Pidge: “i’m not telling you.” There’s a little spot adjacent to the engine room on the Castle-Ship that has a false panel. If you remove it, inside is a hammock and a collection of data chips with old movies and music and some soft blankets. It’s probably a fire hazard, but Pidge has accepted that risk. Matt: “Bed.” Someone else’s, usually. (( me: bed, with the fuzzy blankets and cats ))

22. How long does it take for you to get ready in the morning?

Pidge: “you guys get ready?” Matt: “You guys have time to get ready?” (( me: 10-15 minutes once out of bed but good luck getting me out of bed ))

Uh, well, um, I. I like getting my hair pulled?” (( me: nunya biz ))

26: The reason I joined Tumblr

Pidge and Matt: Pointing at the fourth wall. (( me: peer pressure from @palidinus — sort of kidding but he did want a pidge! ))

[moarghostsnstuff]

[100percentkansasbeef]

@entropic-prince tagged me so i will do this thing because i love him very much. its long fyi

ARE YOU STAYING HOME FROM SCHOOL AND WORK?

Yeah my college suspended itself for four weeks then committed to doing the rest of the semester online so I just moved back to KS a month and a half early. I’m in a very very lucky position where my school is still paying student workers their usual wage so in the meantime i can just focus on school and career prep.

I'm handling that work as a self-imposed 9-5 just to keep me on track and ive actually really liked that.

.

IF YOU ARE STAYING HOME, WHO IS THERE WITH YOU?

Mom, dad, four cats and a dog! My mom worked from home occasionally before this and loved it so now that it’s more long-term she’s in heaven and so am I.

Cats: Scully, Mulder, Chuck, Harlow

Dog: Joon

.

ARE YOU A HOMEBODY?

God yeah, and i get it from my mom. We are both very heavily introverted so this doesn’t change much about our lifestyles; we’re actually sort of happy about it. Obviously wish it was under different circumstances.

.

AN EVENT THAT YOU WHERE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT GOT CANCELLED?

Fucking GDC!!! I was so excited and was planning on making a lot of contacts there and hopefully get a job after graduation but i guess i have to “network” online for now. Miserable.

.

WHAT MOVIES HAVE YOU WATCHED RECENTLY?

Nothing that I sought out myself, but i sit in my mom’s office sometimes while shes working and watch a little of what she has on her spare monitor so recently that was shit like indiana jones, sound of music, and haunting of hill house if you wanna count that.

.

WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO?

right this instant: deadmau5′s back-catalog to relive my adolescence even though hes a piece of shit.

otherwise a lot of liquid and dark minimal dnb. Sublab too, and some 80s.

.

WHAT ARE YOU READING?

posts

.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR SELF CARE?

AC:NH.

Also taking Joon for afternoon walks and making some good food with mom since we are lucky to have groceries readily available.

top 10 musics - commentary

ok i wanted to keep the other post relatively clutter-free but also i kinda just wanna type rn so im gunna talk abt why i love each of those songs

besitos - this is my favorite song. ever. its hard and fast. but theres such a deep pain expressed in the song like, that can only be expressed when screaming this shit out. its also like, fun, through the whole thing! snippets of a life thats exciting and full of picturesque moments, and a romance thats beautiful but flawed. Anyway. I like it. come hang out in san diego. we have backyard parties youre not invited to, nasty falls off your skateboard.

even flow - this is the oldest song on this list, and i heard it when i was really young, maybe like 6th grade? part of my dads music collection, it is just such a nice, beautiful song that resolves some beautiful chords from the metal verses to the just smooth and sweet choruses. the solo is wonderful classic rock. You should listen to the entire album, its literally just like. each song is about a different neurodivergent person and theyre all really emotional. ill still cry if i listen to Jeremy or Black. even flow just slaps the hardest

a match into water - hey. welcome back to ptv. your so is gunna kill themself. go write a song about it

professional griefers - i wanted to give some EDM a shoutout on this playlist, and nothing gets me hype like this one. fuckin. mecha battles. drone racing. hacking. any intense, technicolor animatic can be made to this. i first heard this in the viddy game asphalt 8 when i was a kid, and it made me get into deadmau5. plus gerard way is singing, so like, whats better than that? 

dang!!!!! - lets calm down a second. two birds with one stone, bc both anderson paak and mac miller are featured here. the funky rhythms of paak combined with macs lyrics are just unstoppable. this song is being in love in the summer. plus “i just eat pussy, other people need food” is a great line. mac lived on that respect women juice. fuckin. rip

disco yes - another song thats great for a summer night party. infinite good vibes from our jazzy boy tom. the funkiest bass line that carries the whole song while the guitar adds a knowing smirk from you to ur crush. theres like no way to feel bad while listening to this!

angels - chance smiles so hard while opening this song you can hear it!! what the fuck!! the whole song is just about being happy and loving the people around you like idk its just really sweet and i love it <3

for sale? - yeah ok ok i know it opens really weird, if you arent listening to ‘to pimp a butterfly’ straight through. kendrick is in the depths of his drug abuse here, and just finished singing the hit song ‘alright’. hes being confronted by the devil, being tempted by evil...and yet it sounds like a love song!! lucy is just chillin, hes right behind kendrick, and has been his whole life. but thats the thing - its so easy to fall victim to evil, and it doesnt feel bad, it feels like love. (plus, thundercat is playing bass. thats important for later)

telegraph ave - lets go back to SF. i lived there over the summer and it was unforgettable. i felt like i was dreaming, but everything was so real the same time. and this song feels the same way. its late at night and youre driving to see someone. youre in love. but its kinda falling apart. do you really matter to that person? youre in your twenties but not sure abt anything? youre surounded by this city, but youre alone.

a fans mail - lets end this playlist with a beautiful song from the fucking bass prodigy that is thundercat. catgirl anthem bitch. just. chill out. everything is ok. theres nothing to worry about, and this song feels like laying in a patch of sunlight on a soft carpet on a summer day without any cares.

anyway if you got this far, uh,, thanks? just some ramblings on these songs. theyre important to me.
