#forming a band

Patrick and Pete throughout the years

"I remember looking at Pete and Patrick and telling Pete, “You're the luckiest guy in the world because you found this guy." Patrick laughed. Then I turned to Patrick and said the same thing to him. They fit together so perfectly. Pete listens to electronic music and pop. He DJs. Patrick likes old soul and classic R&B. The fact that Patrick found this guy with this vision; Pete had everything for the band laid out in his mind. And the fact that Pete found a guy who can sing like that and take his lyrics and work with them - which is an art unto itself. It's really the combination of those two that really creates the sound and the songs. They're just really lucky they found each other."

this has been rotting in my wips but anyways my take on the ghouls please accept it hehe

[robboyblunder]

Based on my ghoul guide part 2 I wanted to draw my designs for each of copia's ghouls in feral form because I thought it would be fun! I have little excerpts about each too as a bonus :) (I also included my OC as extra bonus under the cut!)

lemonade mouth/band au! more notes under the cut

lemonade as in like the disney movie! so there are a couple like clear comparisons but mostly it's the bad kids get stuck in detention together except they form a band instead of an adventuring party

fabian > no equivalent (olivia vibes)

the most popular kid at school who is both in dance and on the football team. somehow gets decent grades as well. no close friends, but a lot of people who know him and want to get on his good side. kind of depressed, and his dad's currently in prison. he started playing the guitar as a way to show off and then genuinely started enjoying it

adaine > mo

she's a concert violist (playing the viola) always an accompaniment for her sister and is striking it out on her own for the first time. her family is very upset about this, and consistently puts her down so she'll go along with they want her to do. also she recently transitioned to going to public school for the first time, making her the new girl.

kristen > no equivalent

she's recently ex mormon, got out of her parents house (currently living in her car) and without all of her former friends stuck in a student president position that she got when she was still with the religion. questioning her sexuality after one too many encounters with the soccer team captain, tracker. used to be on the church choir, was a bit too enthusiastic about it.

gorgug > no equivalent (charlie vibes)

he's got like one or two kinda friends (mainly fig). extremely busy with his classes and with marching band and self isolating as a result. he's stressed out about living up to his parent's name (they run a very successful electric engineering company). signed up to work as a sound tech for the theatre department bc one of the female stage managers is very cute (zelda) and then discovered that he rlly like it.

riz > no equivalent

no friends! (other than maybe the AV club + penny) too used to burying himself in work at both his part time gig and with his insane amount of extracurriculars. started playing the piano bc he heard it helps with memory retention and overall cognitive ability.

fig > stella/wen

she's the cool loner skater kid who is the floater friend mostly? she's got a maybe relationship with ayda, who she loves to annoy at the school library. very interested in making her own music not very interested in school. freaking out over her parents getting remarried. her mom enrolled her in music lessons when she was younger, and it's one of the only things she can talk about with her mom these days.

Sometimes I think about the Caramelldansen situation (if you don't know watch this it's genuinely one of my favorite videos of all time) and I just. can't believe the whole caramella girls thing actually worked. or even really understand why they committed to it so hard. it seems like they actually have a fandom! which is great! but i still don't get why there's such a kayfabe around where the original song came from?? or which version it is? or what year it was released? just. every claim made in this video baffles me, including the insinuation that jan Misali is like. trying to besmirch the good name of the caramella girls or something. lmao.

T. Rex — "Get It On" on Top of the Pops, 1971 (with Elton John)

[iero]

Just gonna say it: Sometimes, songs that are considered "overplayed" and/or "well known" by an artist/band are some of their best and that's why they are "overplayed" and/or "well known." They're just that good.

fireworks show 🎆

material preview version is very cute also :)

i struggled with the lighting on this one so badly, but it turned out alright in the end.

i actually started it last year for new years 2023 but never got around to finishing it, hence no progress pictures this time sadly lol. i do have a very low-res, first draft, test gif though

The Cranberries – Linger

[callmelittlesanshine]

Everyone that doesn’t know the band always acts like they’re some dangerous weird cult when these pictures pretty much sum up what ghost is:

If the ministry was real I’d join without hesitation btw

[joe-fuckingtwice-toye]

the guy was sitting opposite and then decided “i'm sitting too far from my crush” and moved
