Noticed there wasn’t a ton of photocheer fanart and I wanted to change that (which why isn’t there more these two dorks are so cute together!!!!)
#come get your food (art edition) fellow photocheer’s you must be STARVING#also to anyone interested in getting into this paring read there is a light and it never goes out by pearlypairings (it’s on AO3!)#to me it is THE photocheer fic#it’s amazing and I love it (also a sequel fic from Chrissy’s pov has started and it’s also really good so far!!!)#it was my gateway into getting into it so I think it’s a good place to start#after posting this I am in fact going to reread it that’s how good it is#anyways I’m definitely going to make more art for them cause they were so fun to draw together (just got figure something out first)#listened to the smiths while drawing this (got the queen is dead on vinyl recently)#also the usual stuff too like alvvays and joy division (my beloved fave bands <3)#OH ALMOST FORGOT!!! I added pins and patches of Jonathan’s fave bands on his bag cause that bag would have LOVED to have some on there#shame it died like his rusty car </3 an unknown pleasures patch suits it nicely#I have a whole post about it too (the sketch for this inspired it btw)#and Chrissy’s skirt is a corduroy one btw (I have a similar one irl)#thought I’d mention that cause Idk of it reads as a corduroy skirt#I’m going to stop rambling now cause that’s too many tags (hope this enters the tags cause sometimes my rambles cause my own works demise#:’] )#stranger things#jonathan byers#chrissy cunningham#photocheer#jonathan x chrissy

ok I finished watching that interview and I’m kinda emotional bc besides growing up with Pink Floyd, one of the first prog songs I remember hearing is my dad playing Roundabout on yt and I remember watching Rick more than the rest of them bc something about this wizard dude surrounded by keyboards was fascinating to me, and I had the feeling like I get sometimes that if I were to get into that kinda thing, it would become my Thing and lo and behold, I’ve ended up a big prog fan! he’s just such a brilliant and iconic keyboardist and I’ve come to love bombastic 70s prog keyboards and idk man, I’m just glad I found this genre bc it connected with me so much <3 gonna blast some old-school Yes now
#rush were my big gateway band and i found yes from them but as i say i remember watching them out of context#and being fascinated by rick so yeah#it’s awesome that i’m a fan now <3#prog rock supremacy y’all 🥺#dustnroses.txt#prog rock#yes band#rick wakeman

also currently trying 2 talk my mum in2 doing a trip in august to see family out west who i havent seen since i was single digits in age and like. i genuinely for realsies want 2 see those aunts n uncles but also...... i kinda really just wanna see metallica live. this is just a 2 birds 1 stone type of situation. srry 2 my aunts n uncles. yall r at least 55% an excuse 2 go out there in the first place.
#WHYYYY couldnt i have gotten in2 metallica LAST YEAR#WHEN THEY ACTUALLY TOURED THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY#im like. 40 years late 2 the party. ive literally always thought they were overrated assholes. NOW look at me 🙄#id say its an age thing but actually im sure there are still ppl my age and younger 4 whom metallica is their Gateway Metal Band#and actually one of my biggest gateway bands was a7x. which ppl call(ed?) metallica ripoffs. so who knows really#i managed 2 come around on liking death metal b4 i got metallica 2 click 4 me. probably not the standard Metal Subgenre Journey#real talk tho i get stuck in these music modes where i only listen 2 a narrow slice of things for weeks on end#and i have been in a 24/7 metallica lockdown for like at least 3 fucking weeks already LET ME OOOUUTTTT#the only concession ive been able 2 wrangle from my brain is a sprinkling of megadeth of all fucking things#Yet Another Band ive only just learned 2 appreciate but actually rust in peace is a fucking banger so thats ok i suppose.#still. would be nice perhaps. to maybe listen to any of the 10 million OTHER types of music i also enjoy. sometime soon pls brain. 🙏

i know their asses are fake music fans i know wamuu has never heard a single george michael song hes never even heard wake me up before you go-go. esidisi doesnt even KNOW about highway to hell. kars is also there
#SORRY IDK ANY CARS SONGS#i did look them up on spotify and like i listened to it and its good music!!!! but ive never heard it before LOL#anyway. i feel like ive sinned spelling acdc and wham like that#but i always spell kars with a k he looks stupid with a c... Automobile? your name is fucking automobile?#anyway as much as i just wanna call them wham and acdc. if i write them the official localization way#its easier for me to make clear when im talking about wham! (the pop duo) and AC/DC (the rock band)#anyway im allowed to post this because like well firstly why wouldnt i be#but secondly george michael is my moms fave singer#and before i discovered mcr i would say ac/dc was my fave band cuz that was like the first real artist i would just#sit down and listen to all their music you know#like before that i didnt have a fave!!! i would just say i liked 80s music#cause tbh all i listened to was video game songs and the radio#and i feel like half the radio was and still is one hit wonders#so id listen to one song by someone on spotify and like it but then i just wouldnt care for any of their other stuff a lot of the time#anyway ac/dc and eventually mcr were my gateway drug into like becoming a Music Guy (aka having more of a taste in music than i did +#when i was 12 years old.)#tldr wham is my moms fave band (''pop duo'' technically i guess but stfu its a band) and ac/dc was my first fave (and i still love em)#so im rightfully furious (jokingly) that these faker jjba villians dont even listen to their music!!!! THAT MUSIC IS BICHIN!!!!#stop killing people and listem to everything she wants by wham! please. please. it will fix you#also heres my formal apology to santana because like i have beef with kars for being kars#but santana didnt do shit i just dunno any songs by santana#like the band. sorry to mr. santana himself i will listen to your music one day i promise#anyway sorry for the ramble i looooove talking#muffin mumbles

going to bed before i burst into actual tears of helpless frustration because for the third time in as many weeks, my computer has decided that despite paying for 500mbps internet, i'm only allowed an oscillation between 2.4-40mbps for absolutely no valid reason, and whatever i did to somehow make it work again last time absolutely will not work this time
#first time i got told by several folks i must be in a wifi deadspot#nevermind that for the two days prior it had been entirely fine in that spot#so i moved the computer and rearranged every single item of furniture in my bedroom#and it worked!#LAST week i uninstalled and reinstalled drivers; let hp examine my device through their site and find me missing drivers#shut down and restarted so many fucking times#changed network bands#disconnected from the network and made my computer forget it and then connected fresh#did all the refresh signal and restart gateway bullshit#and at the end of all that the drivers thing seemed to work!#NOW? THIS WEEK? TONIGHT????#literally fucking nothing is fixing it and every diagnostic tool under the sun swears everything is completely fine and working normally#i am going to dissolve into exhausted tears#apparently what i won't be doing is ANYTHING online on my personal computer for... however long this goes on this time#(and btw literally every other device in the house has zero such issue#work laptop three feet behind me? fine. personal laptop? fine. switch? fine. kandi's pc/xbox? fine.#my phone while sitting directly in front of my computer twelve inches from it while it gets 14mbps?#ALSO COMPLETELY FUCKING FINE. i am beyond at a loss and i'm so goddamned tired)#(this computer is less than 2 years old and i paid over $800 for it WHY IS THIS HAPPENING 😭)

People drawing sad fanart of Yui forgetting she was the one to leave the band....
Right?!!! And they’re so dramatic with it too 😭
LIKE WHAT IS THIS????
#answered asks#I would get the sad fan art if she was just kicked out of the band but she CHOSE to leave on her own terms#I hope this doesn’t open a weird gateway for people to start bashing on yui because you will be blocked!!!

Unpopular opinion about The Beatles?
Hi anon! My unpopular opinion is that the Beatles are way, way overrated. I'll start by saying that I deeply appreciate their individual musical abilities, their collective harmony and the immense influence they've left on pop and rock music up to this day, but the "best band of all time" title cannot and should not be put on a band judging solely - or mainly - by the amount of success they've generated. Success means that something is popular, popular means that there's a certain chemistry in the music which works really well with the masses, but it's such a heavy and prestigious title that it probably doesn't even belong to a rock band. Maybe jazz musicians are better fit for such a name, progressive rock also requires a deeper musical knowledge and inventiveness than that of the Beatles, and what about my beloved Led Zeppelin and their progressive blues mixed with various genres and styles? Or maybe, how about we just let everyone decide according to taste. As someone who is deeply enamoured with music and is in constant search for new sounds and artists to fall in love with, I don't like having to read about the Beatles being the best band of all time way too often than it's needed. Are they the most influential band? Hell yes. And thank God, I wouldn't like it any other way. But the "best band" label is unnecessary and maybe no band is able to live up to the expectations it creates.
#beatles fans don't come for me pls#the beatles are actually really important to me because they were my “definitive” gateway to 60s-70s music fashion and culture#but to say they're the best band of all time (and trust me people try to argue this almost everyday!)#just ignores all the wonderful shades and colours of music that we have#there are SO many artists#each of them with a distinctive individual style#to say that the beatles are the best band of all time means ur ignoring decades and decades of great music and artistry#i'm not saying that the beatles aren't geniuses but. there are so many geniuses out there yk#ask dee dee

btw the way that i find "new" music that i like is so embarrassing sometimes. i'll be listening to a song surprised that i actually like it and it's by one of the first bands people think of when they think of the genre because of just how popular it got among people who enjoy that kind of music and i am, in fact, a person who enjoys that kind of music
#i've always been the kinda guy to find an individual song i rlly like and then rarely dive into the rest of the band's discography idk whyy#i think the first band i liked enough to look into multiple albums was streetlight manifesto in like . oh good lord it was like 9th grade#and even then i discovered i only rlly liked the first album i listened to in the first place and only a select few songs on the others#they were my gateway drug to will wood tho. that was the first one where i actually paid attention to new releases lol#my bragging rights are that i got into his music Before he became one of the hashtag weirdcore cringe tiktok babygay artists#which means literally nothing but it's the only thing i can ever be a hipster about when i get into everything ten years late at the Least#i dont mind the weirdcore tiktok babygays making him more popular btw. if anything i'm pissed at the ppl who are mean to them#because there was a brief period where i could say “i like will wood” and watch that sentence go clean over a person's head. i miss it#do you think i'll ever be able to get a teacher to unwittingly play suburbia overture as background music during class ever again. no.#2 mins in dude said he was surprised i was into doo-wop i said haha yeah yep. he did not talk to me when the song finished#no other dumbass teenager will get to have that interaction ever again i'm genuinely so sad for them#hm. got a little off topic i think.#anyway my point is do you know how annoying it is to be that motherfucker who is like “yeah i love nirvana teen spirit. thats it tho sorry"
