endless gifs of movies that i love VELVET GOLDMINE dir. Todd Haynes, 1998

For once, there was an unknown land, full of strange flowers and subtle perfumes; a land of which it is joy of all joys to dream; a land where all things are perfect and poisonous.

Band AU: Hazbin Hotel

Because there's always a band AU.

-666 News Broadcast Theme Plays through the dive bar cafe from the small, flickering TV in the corner-

Katie Killjoy: Breaking News in the Pop industry today! Our sunshine and rainbows, Mandy Moore wannabe, and Princess of Hell, Charlotte Morningstar, has come out with a new music video to help promote a brand new album that appears to have been conjured up seemingly overnight.

Angel: Hey, Vagina! (Elbows Vaggie) Ain't that your girl crush from the open band night down at Husk's Casino two months ago?

Vaggie: (chokes on her coffee) What?! Turn it up, Jackass!

Angel: (steals the remote from across the bartop and turns up the TV)

Tom Trench: And, boy howdy, this makeover is on par with most Disney child stars diving off the deep end!

Katie Killjoy: (spears a pen through Tom's hand) No one gives a shit Tom.

Tom Trench: MY HAND!!!

Katie Killjoy: Spectators and fans of our usually diabetically sweet princess feel that this sudden shift is caused by her breakup with Seviathan Von Eldritch just last month, ending the royal arranged engagement, after he mentioned how she refused to "put out" before marriage in an interview with Hell's High Class Weekly.

Vaggie: (bristles) The douchebag....

Katie Killjoy: Let's watch as our lovely princess makes her breakdown public.

-Screen shifts to Charlie holding a mic in one hand while picking a guitar in another, wearing 2000's Avril Lavigne glam rock attire (hot pink, baggy cargo pants, black leather studded belt, rainbow converse, black leather wrist bands, grey tank top with two black goats faced just the right way so their curved horns make a heart and tied together with a rainbow knot, and a black and red stripped tie) Razzle and Dazzle are playing drums and bass-

Charlie: Don't you know that IIIIIIIII- (flips off the camera and sticks out her tongue while mouthing "Fuck you, Seviathan" as the song reaches its climax) I don't give a daaaaaaaamn about you!!! I won't give it up, not for you!!! I'm not gonna cry about some stupid guy. A guy who thinks he's all that!

Vaggie: Whoa! (Big smiles like when Adam got stabbed) Get it, Charlie!

Katie Killjoy: (as the screen returns to normal) Other songs on the album include "Behind These Crimson Eyes", "The Dick Who Blocked His Own Shot", "Smack a Bitch", "Since U Been Gone", and the gay community's rabid favorite "Dear Vaggie"-

Angel: (sucking down his third popsicle for breakfast) What now?

Vaggie: WHAT?!?!?!?!

Katie Killjoy: -The obviously plagiarized parody of "Cool for the Summer" by Demi Lovato has unsubtle lesbian and bisexual overtones that specifically mentions Vaggie "the Steel Vagina". The lead singer and guitarist of the Power/Grunge Metal band, Fallen Angels

Angel: (wheezes as he laughs breathlessly and falls off his stool)

Vaggie: (steaming) Angel!!! ¡Eres un chupapollas, hijo de puta! Why would you tell the news that was my name?!

Angel: (ugly walrus gasps and giggles) Because it's better than I ever dreamed!!!!

Katie Killjoy: Fans of both artists are absolutely frothing at the mouth to see what Vaggie's response will be.

Tom Trench: Frothing at the mouth and other orifices, if you catch my drift. (Gets a pen slammed into his balls) GaaAhaHaaaaHaha!

Katie Killjoy: More on this story tonight at eleven.

Vaggie:

Angel: Soooooo~ Whatcha wanna doooooo~?

Vaggie: We're going to Tune Town, getting a copy of that album-

Angel: Ooooooooh-hohohoooooh~ I can visit dat nice glory hole they got there.

Vaggie: -THEN!!! We are going back to the apartment and making a response single.

Angel: Do you know what you even want to put in it?

Vaggie: (slipping on her jacket) I'll figure it out after listening to the album!

That's NOT Music

*Ok so this is just a little headcannon event I believe would happen between Eddie and reader* Rated E for everyone.

Okay so hear me out... You and Eddie become the best of friends because "Your art is like SSSOOO out there and its scary you don't even dooo drugs man... Like not even a lick off a Mary-Wanna leaf." as Eddie so educatedly states. But when it comes to music.... Oh when it comes to music.

See Eddie is into Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, ANYTHING THAT CONSISTS OF BANSHEE WAILS FROM A GUITAR'S MOUTH!! But you.... YOU were into 'glam-rock'.

"A putrid stain resting on a dragon's shithole that when it farts. It sounds like Steven Tyler's iconic wail." as Eddie once again, states.

"Have you even listened to it? Like sit and fully give it a chance?" you push at him. Eddie stares at you with a dimpled smile but the light in his eyes, dim. Yeah he checked out before you even started. "EDDIE!!" you yell at him, highly annoyed by his blatant stubbornness.

"Aerosmith is sooo not-."

"Okay but have you heard of Bon Jovi?" you cut him off before he went on another 'fuck glam-rock' tangent. Eddie leans back and places his fingers on his chin, his music rolodex spinning as he scrambles for some semblance of a.... Bonjo? Banjo?

~~~

"THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL MUSIC?!!" Eddie yells, as he rips the earbud out of his left ear. Making the other pop out of your right ear, landing hard onto the kitchen counter and next to your CD player. "EDS!!" you exclaim, swatting his shoulder even harder.

"OUCHIE!!! Never would've guessed you were heavy-handed." he says rubbing the area you hit and leaning away from you. You check the earbuds, as they are sooo easy to break, and yup. The right one (the one Eddie had on) is barely audible. "This band is so mediocre. Simple chords, simple song-writing, and-." his voice dies off as you slowly look at him with dagger eyes. His brain quickly rendering his mistake. BUT!! He couldn't control it. It was just sooo. Natural. He bites his index finger as he gives puppy eyes "Whoops." he winces.

~~~

So now, Steve and Eddie go for a night drive in Steve's beat-up convertible. The radio lowly playing whatevers popular to the masses, as they both share a doobie. Eddie listening to Steve deciphering the female mind out loud when a hint of a guitar sound peeks through. "HOLD ON!!" Steve yells, turning the volume up so the guitar riff plays stronger.

Eddie knew, from the beating you gave him afterwords, that this was Bon Jovi. Steve taps onto the steering wheel "ITS ALL THE SAME, ONLY THE NAMES WILL CHANGE!!" Steve sings along as Eddie whips his head to the betrayal he was hearing.

"EVERYDAY IT SEEMS WE'R-!!" Steve continues giving little looks and egging Eddie to sing along.

"No.. No FUCKING way man."

"WHERE THE FACES ARE SO COLD!!"

"NO STEVE!! THIS IS HOW THEY GET YOU, THEY TRY WITH THESE-!!"

"COME ON HELLFIRE I NEED A BACK UP!! I'M A COWBOY!!"

Eddie bites his bottom lip because FUCK!! Not like this... Please to the Iron Maiden artwork Gods.. Not... Like... "DEAD OR ALIVEEE!!" they both belt.

"FUCK YEAH MAN!!" Steve exclaims, stepping on the gas pedal as Eddie hides his face in utter shame.

Look at what you've done. Now he's definitely going to force you to listen to Metallica.

[paragonrobits]

so i've been annoyed now and again when i see big name v-tubers or whatever making fun on Transformers for being a toyetic series (which is deeply ironic when they're super into things like My Little Pony which is also a toyetic series) and get weirdly intense about saying its actually a garbage series for boring people that has no dimension outside of being a commercial, and they get super shocked when you tell them its one of the more convoluted series out there, with every single series almost invariably being a completely different setting and universe and timeline with no real connection to others, for the most part with a TON of lore and characterization and like

not a lot of people are into Transformers as intensely as, idk, people like me who get salty about Beast Wars not being respected

but i got to thinking and i realized something about Transformers that makes it stick out is, its basic premise is usually set around the point of no return, the complete cessation of hope for the protagonist's initial dreams:

their homeland is lost.

There's no going back to Cybertron; in most settings, Cybertron is not occupied territory, or a place they were driven away from. Sometimes that's the case, but not always. Its not a matter of beating the Decepticons and then you can finally go home and live in peace.

That's already gone. There is no hope for that, and there never was. Cybertron is dead. The planet is, more often than not, poisoned or drained of resources from the war, and can no longer support life. There's no going home because... that home is gone.

The war continues, but the Autobots generally have the motif of trying to restrain the Decepticon war machine from ravaging more worlds like they did to Cybertron. There's no real win condition besides a slim hope that MAYBE Megatron will see reason and just stop (which is unlikely) or that a marginally less deranged Decepticon will take office and be willing to accept peace talks even for a generation or two to just STOP killing everything for a while.

That's the best hope. Otherwise, it seems that the only peace is the peace of one side being wiped out, in a rather tragic sense rather than a 'we're the good guys so its okay if we wipe them all out' thing. Most series, when they acknowledge this, very strongly go with the Autobots don't want that. But it doesn't seem like there's a choice.

So this wraps around to the initial point here; people often don't respect this series because its goofy, and it is that. It's a series about transforming alien robots that turn into cars, military equipment and more silly, bizarre stuff; into airplane-dragons and scientifiaclly inaccurate robot dinosaurs and unusually large rats and whatever the heck the Transmetal 2 line and the Fuzors were. It's often bombastic, cheesy as hell, with a soundtrack codified by 80s glam rock and its perhaps best personified as 'GOD EXISTS, HE'S A GIANT ROBOT WHO TURNS INTO A ROBOT PLANET AND HE HAS AN EVIL SIBLING WHO IS BASICALLY ROBOT SATAN WHO TURNS INTO BIGGER EVIL PLANET'

But at the same time, even in the cheesiest series, when the war is still a thing, there's still a melancholy aspect to it. Robot God existed, and he was legitimately good and kind (if somewhat hands off), and he's probably dead. He was murdered by the ones he made; maybe bcause of the horrors of war draining resources until there's nothing left to keep anyone alive, or because the self centered despot in charge of the Bad Guy Team poisoned the planet with the hateful blood of the ungod of death and oblivion just for a tactical advantage, and now God's dead. The homeworld is dead with him.

The Autobots left home because there's nothing left to return to. And often, when there IS some hope of bringing life to Cybertron, the price is far too high for a mind to consider and still think you can be a hero of the story; it requires the mass death of an alien species, the subjugation of a planet, to let humanity die so the Transformers can prosper.

Optimus and the Autobots say no; no matter what. That is a price they can't even consider and still call themselves Autobots. If making a decision like that is the only way to save Primus, then Primus would rather them let him stay dead. And it goes on, in other ways; Optimus is often characterized as tremendously burned out of being the ultimate perfect heroic figure he's become to the fandom, carrying out through sheer grit and heroic spirit but keeping no hope for himself, and just coming off as so tired of the endless conflict, of seeing a former friend completely lost to his own ambition and becoming so much worse than everything he fought.

As a plot, it tends to be significantly broader in scope than the sort of stuff I see these v-tubers and reactors that I dislike really get into. I've seen people dismiss Transformers out of hand and just go 'lol how am I supposed to relate to robots even if they're gay' and its like, I see you relating to demons; that's not any more realistic than robots even if you gave them cutesy little horns or something. But that's still making it about YOU, about pretending they're actually you or something.

This isn't a series about projecting really hard onto a character and erasing their personalities so you can imagine you're the main character, this is a series ROOTED in character and bizarre tones and a surprisingly somber aspect at times. Even G1, the least serious of its interpretations, still had surprisingly brutal and gruesome deaths for a good portion of the cast, and did the unexpected; showing its robot characters as having been made by others and rose up to free themselves, and being treated as heroes for it. And then, those same creators show up later, prompting Rodimus to state: "We Transformers have seen the face of our creators... and it is the face of an enemy."

This is a series that REALLY goes all out on investment in characters, specifically. Makes me wonder if the people who dismiss it just aren't that invested in characters, or don't really get the concept of continuity specific stuff. Or that they dismiss it because they don't think sapient robots are relatable, which is a minor thing in the grand scheme of things. (Again, if you're constantly depicting your online persona as some kind of fictious creature, or a demon or something, mocking sapient robots as being worth having interest in is just splitting hairs.)

There's one episode in G1 that ends in a pyrric victory; a lake with a powerful resource is discovered, the Decepticons attack and the Autobots fight them off, but in the destruction, the entire natural area is completely obliterated, leaving a smoking ruin. The episode ends on a somber note, and nature-loving Beachcomber ends the episode looking at the ruin as he bitterly says "We won."

and in a lot of ways, that kind of feels like a summation of the series at its more somber.

Glam Rock | S.B.

You and Sirius go to a muggle rock concert — sirius x fem!reader fluff

warnings: one mention of nausea but nothing else

words: 0.9k

"Sirius, if you put on any more jewelry, everyone will think you're part of the band."

"That's the point, love." He told you. "They're icons." 

You rolled your eyes. "But we won't get to see them if we don't leave soon." 

He looked into the mirror by your bed, studying his concert outfit. "Do you think I should put some eyeliner on?"

Hoping to get to your concert, you gently wrapped your arms around him from his side. He brought his right arm over you as you kissed his necklace-clad chest. 

"I think you're pretty enough already. I also think we should get there before Freddie makes his grand entrance, so we should get going." 

It was just under ten minutes until they were set to perform, and you were getting more anxious for every minute that passed. Your boyfriend sensed that, and decided his outfit was complete. 

"Alright. You have the tickets, right, love?" He asked you. 

"They've been in my back pocket all afternoon." You assured him, pulling them out to prove it.

"Then we can go now. Hold on tight." 

You held his comforting hand and he apparated the two of you to an empty alley near the venue. 

You had told him several times before that you could just apparate right into the venue, thus losing the need to buy tickets in the first place, but he had insisted every single time that he wanted the 'muggle experience'. 

Although Sirius was totally fine with apparition, it had always made you a bit nauseous. Sirius knew this and held onto your upper arms as you breathed deeply and composed yourself. 

"Okay, let's go." You said with a smile once the sick feeling went away. "Don't want to miss the show."

You started walking, following the sound of excited fans. Sirius linked your hands together while you walked, even though it would take you about a minute to walk to the venue. 

Once you arrived at the building, you handed your ticket to a teenage boy in a glass booth, he ripped part of it off and handed the rest back to you. He held up two fingers to the buff bouncer, who let you and Sirius into the concert hall. 

"We're in." You smiled at him, as another bouncer opened the door connecting the lobby and the main room. 

There was a huge crowd, which was expected since you showed up so late. 

Sirius looked straight to the bar; not to drink, but because that section was always mobile at the start of the night. He knew that when you got to the front, the drunk people would be far away from you by then. It was a trick he got while smoking outside with concert-goers another night. 

It was a trick that proved itself to work, since just a few minutes into the concert, you were a few metres away from the stage. 

In the middle of Somebody To Love, you felt a tap on your shoulder and turned around to see a blond man holding two beers. 

"Sorry, but my girlfriend is in front of you, can I get by?" 

Sirius wanted to say no, but you first got the attention of the girl he pointed to, who turned around and lit up when she saw the guy with the drinks. 

His arm crossed you to give her a beer, and you moved aside so they could stand together. 

The only problem was that he was taller than you, but shorter than Sirius. Your vision of half the stage was blocked, and Sirius didn't notice until he saw you readjusting to see the stage when they started the next song. 

"Here, you can hop on my shoulders." Sirius said just loudly enough for you to hear. 

He went to bend down, but you put a hand on his arm to stop him. "Then I would be blocking people too." 

"They can move." He insisted. "Or get on each other's shoulders. We could start a movement."

You laughed at his joke, and pushed your worries of offending other people aside. 

He bent down again, and this time you let him. You were a bit scared of it, but you climbed onto his shoulders nevertheless. He stood up, and you could finally see everything that was going on. 

You looked around the audience and saw a few other people above the rest of the crowd, and the people behind them didn't seem upset. 

You lovingly looked down at Sirius, who had his eyes glued to the stage, then you curled a lock of his perfectly smooth hair around your forefinger, and looked back at the band. 

They ended the current song, moved on to Love Of My Life. Your face broke out into a smile, and you thought that this could be your song with Sirius. 

Without a word, he turned his head slightly and kissed your inner thigh. You knew he was thinking the same thing, and that only made your smile brighter. 

Though you were still thinking about your boyfriend, you returned your gaze to the band. 

You set a mental reminder to buy a picture frame sometime soon. You would need to frame the ticket stubs as a souvenir of this amazing date at the best concert you've ever seen.

The Recycler - Sep. 15, 1987

ROCKING FROM THE GRAVE by Pamela Fuller

The Troubadour has introduced many stellar metal bands over the years. From Cinderella to Poison, Motley Crue to Candy, and newest break-out stars Guns N' Roses, the club has been a home for glam, thrash, and heavy metal. It comes as no surprise that Corroded Coffin, one of the most exciting young bands in metal, should debut here. They offered their sultry single, "Ride the Night," in March to an enthusiastic reception. Now, the band prepares to release their eerie sophomore, "Sabbath Smoke." If it's a sign of things to come, we'll be hearing much more from them in the future.

Naturally, Corroded Coffin has changed members since its launch. However, their set remains exciting, containing everything that makes dark, thrilling metal so alluring. Wailing guitar, fierce vocals, and complex riffs are common traits of their originals. During performances, the band includes standout covers that have fans screaming for more. For the sleaze factor, stick around for "Young Lust."

Bottom line, Corroded Coffin delivers every show. You can catch them at the Troubador again this Thursday and Gazzarri's next Saturday.

Any guesses as to what the Buddie karoake song will be? lol

Hey Nonnie

well where to begin?? My feeling is it will be 80's based on the theme of the bachelor party, but beyond that, anything is game!!

All I know it's that is likely to be a song full of queer undertones which doesn't help narrow it down any as so much of the music fro the 80's is queer, has queer undertones, or has been adopted by the queer community. I mean the 80's was the pinnacle of glam rock and there are too many options to chose from there!!

I mean we could cycle back to Maddie's comment 'you don't want to hear Bucks rendition of eye of the tiger' and they might play into that (Maddie was wrong - I very much want to hear Bucks version of Eye of the Tiger thank you very much)

I mean there are plenty of classics, like Elton John, Queen and T-rex or David Bowie (although I'm not sure any of David Bowies songs are really karaoke songs!) or they could go very obscure! My feeling is we're going to get something very well known (with that lovely abc budget) because they want it to hit and obscure won't work for this moment!

I'd love to hear what everyone else thinks the Karaoke song is going to be - we can have some fun and see who either gets closest or gets it right - drop your guesses in the comments.

With this in mind I'll throw out a guess of 'This Charming Man' by The Smiths with an outside shot of Queen I want to break free (but that feels a little on the nose even for 911 😂)

[xdazzlex]

Migidoll Jina Boy, because we're back in 2010, alright? xD

So, I loved the devotiondoll sense head, but 1) it was mismatched & too dark/pink even without the faceup on (which obviously only darkens things) 2)too sweet/puppy-eyed and didn't have that uhm... edge, for lack fo a better word.

Meanwhile, on our local Polish auction site, someone was selling an old Jina in a bad shape. "Bad" being understatement. The cheeks, lower lip, nose (tip + nostrills) were all sanded... because the ex owner wanted to de-yellow the doll... oh gosh xD

Anyway, I risked since I saw her first lower the price, then be open to negotiating it even further and I got that cheeky lil fella for around, I kid you not, 20 bucks. Well... it's a "project/junk doll", so it's not that crazy either, actually... And I was a lil scared if that won't be a recast (back in the day when people knew what Migidoll was, there were some recs, to my bect knowledge), but anyway it's pleasantly heavy and migi-like <3

So, my plans are to get his glam goth vibes (think Phil Lewis of LA Guns, Steve Summers of the PBF, Bela Lugosi and Dave Vanian)... For now, he's rocking his "non-binary tiktok activist who shoves puberty blockers up kid's throats and trashtalks about Blaire White" look... ;) In other words, I need a different wig for him lol :D

[crplpunkklavier]

obsessed with how klavier's canon timeline just fully makes no sense.

his trial against phoenix is his first, right. at this point, the gavinners are already famous enough to perform expensive concerts, due to their debut single hitting platinum overnight. we don't know when this happened, just that it had to be before the gramarye trial, because klavier talks about it there. ok.

when kristoph talks to him before the trial, in the flashback, we briefly see klavier's office, that already seems to have guitars all over the wall. that's not necessarily an inconsistency, it just means that even before he ever went to court, klavier had that office, and enough money to cram it full of guitars, which also suggests they aren't necessarily like a carefully curated collection, but were in fact just some 16~17 year old guy who just got a lot of money and bought 50 guitars at once in some sort of teenage frenzy.

we also don't know when exactly he took the bar exam, only that he took it in europe. obviously, it was before that first trial, so he might have even been younger than 17, but we don't know.

my favorite part, though, is that he says that daryan was the first detective he'd ever worked with, which can also mean a number of really weird things. clearly, the gavinners existed before klavier started prosecuting, so,

either he knew daryan before daryan was a detective, and they started the band together and then both also started into their law enforcement lives, in which case its hilariously strange of klavier to say that he was the first detective he ever worked with. like, i guess, but you also knew him when you were in high school.

or the gavinners existed without daryan for a short time, which seems unlikely, but would also be really funny given they had a platinum hit without this dude then. and then klavier starts working with a detective and is like hey you should join my glam rock band. yeah youve heard of us

or klavier worked with him on a case he just didnt prosecute, either because it didnt go to trial, or maybe he worked on it for school or something, which then implies that either daryan somehow made detective before he hit 20, or daryan is SEVERAL years older than klavier. which, according to canon ages, he is not. they're the same age. but maybe daryan pretends to be 5 years younger or something. wouldn't put it past him. or he pretended to be older with a fake ID so they'd let him into the force (also hilarious). because we know daryan didn't study abroad, since he canonically has never left the country.

and then lastly there's the fact that it is heavily implied that klavier just.... stopped prosecuting after the gramarye trial. or at least the judge hadn't seen him around in a while, and klavier doesn't deny that he was absent, allegedly because his band got so big. we're made to believe that he only returns once he hears of apollo, and yet his office looks the exact same, as far as we can see in pictures. which once again leaves us with two possibilities: klavier's office was left completely untouched for 7 years, or he moved out of there after one trial, and then came back 7 years later and decided, yep, i should put my guitars up again the exact same way i did when i was 17.

there's also a thousand other ways of reading all this really. i honestly think this was all just the writers sort of winging it, and it's not like the mason system doesn't fully fuck up the timeline in that game anyway, so i don't think any of these are any more or less canon than others. they're just fun theories to play around with. what the fuck was this guy doing.

Security Breach Chapter 19: A bot attack.

Meanwhile, with Alina's group.

The girls watched their friends who managed to save Glam-rock.

Puppet: It remains to free the others. But they should be aware that they need to save Vanessa, find Freddy and his friends and defeat William.

Helpy: That's it, now we can tell them to save Vanessa.

Alina: With the help of slot machines, you can free her from William's influence. (She took the microphone) Attention my friends!

Meanwhile, with the others in different places.

Others: Alina?

Alina: You need to play on each of the three slot machines so that you can free Vanessa from William. She is probably now in the form of a rabbit with red eyes, who was watching us to kill and Helped William.

DJ: That's right, we forgot about it.

Vanny: Oh, right?

She pressed the button and the broken robots immediately went to the heroes where they were.

Glam-rock Freddy: They are coming.

But what's worse, Vanny has thrown burning matches in every place and the fire is slowly starting to appear.

Puppet: Vanny started a fire.

Alina: Put it out!

Helpy wires turned on the signal and water appears from the flashing lights, causing the lights to disappear.

Vanny: No!

Mario: We must not delay. We need to act.

Alina: The first machine "The Princess's Quest" is located in the cabin. The second one is in the Fazcade. And the third one goes to Vanny's lair in the Fazer Blaster.

Meanwhile, with DJ's group.

DJ: That's right, I have one. Then we'll have to go back.

Leo: And in Vanny's lair, when I, along with Emma, Max, Irina, Yuri, Haoyu and Cass, were crawling through the ventilation.

Sundrop: Bots!

Animatronics in the form of a spider began to attack bots.

Krash: May I please do more?

Chiko: Are you sure you can handle it? I'd rather be with you.

Krash grabbed Chico and jumped into the ventilation.

Meanwhile, with Glam-rock Freddy's group.

Glam-rock Freddy: We have to split up who's where. We're going to Vanny's hideout. While we're dealing with the bots, Gregory and Cassie go to the vending machine.

Others: Good.

Meanwhile, with Alina's group.

Puppet: Vanessa is about to leave the pizzeria. Close the gate.

Tricky pressed the button and the main entrance of the pizzeria is closed.

Alina: Griffona detain her.

Griffona: There is.

Negabosses in the form of a griffin immediately headed for the main hall to Vanny.

Vanny: Again?!

Griffona: Not again, but again. (Blocked Vanny with iron feathers) Well, will you show your face?

Vanny:(Going to get a knife) No... (Griffona's beak and eyes turned purple) Why are your beak and eyes turning blue?

Griffona: From suspicion.

She threw her gun with her tail and Vanny grabbed her arm. Landing on her head, Griffona pushed her into the elevator with her paw and she flew up to her becoming a humanoid lioness. When the elevator closed and went, the Rabbit decided to kill her with a knife, but she dodged and took it away. When she pushed Vanny, Rabbit noticed that the elevator opened and she pushed her with her foot, causing her to fall.

Vanny: Well, no... (Leaves)

Meanwhile, with Alina's group.

Puppet: Failed. But ours have begun to act.

Suddenly, Ella, Lan, Yara, Donut, Seeder and rainbow heroes entered the office.

Ella: Guys, we've finally found you.

Fire: The bots are coming for you.

Lan: We won't last long.

Donut:(He noticed Puppet) Who is it?

Puppet: We'll talk about this later, child.

Alina: Okay, we'll go to the vending machine in Fazcade, and you rainbow heroes delay them as much as you can.

Rainbow Heroes: Good.

When they saw the bots, they immediately left, until the bots had an idea of something worse.

In the Glam-rock salon.

The characters of SpongeBob, the rest of Disney, Alla, Kayna, Boog and Eliot watched as SpongeBob and Patrick played in the slot machine and they managed to pass.

SpongeBob: Hooray! We won!

Alla: The others have already figured it out. Go to the main entrance immediately.

But they were prevented by the whole army, so they had to fight them.

In the Fazcade.

Alina's group were playing a slot machine and they managed to win.

Alina: We teleporting to Griffona.

Sparkle teleported to the hall with the help of magic with her friends.

In the Fazer Blast.

Freddy's Glam-rock band managed to get to their destination before they saw their friends with purple eyes.

Glam-rock Freddy: Run, we'll distract them.

Gregory and Cassie: Good.

Two children ran while the others tried to smash the purple lamps. But they were strong, while Vanny looked at it and followed the children. Gregory and Cassie are already playing Princess Quest.

Gregory: We have to make it before Vanessa finds us.

Cassie: She's almost there!

This makes the boy play fast, until Cassie noticed that Toy Freddy was approaching Glam-rock Freddy on the bridge.

Toy Freddy: Hehehe.

Cassie: Glam-rock Freddy!

Toy Freddy pushed Glam-rock Freddy and the rest of the infected animatronics break him.

Others: No!

Monty: Hands off!

Monty attacked one of the animatronics while Pikachu turned off electricity to each infected animatronics, and Marina, Lilo and the Street Cat broke the lamps.

Happy: Oh, I still found it!

Gregory and Cassie: Guys!

Laughing, Vanny went up to her hiding place and prepared to attack. This scared the two children, but she was prevented by Krash and Chiko from ventilation.

Krash: Hurry up, you're almost done!

Gregory quickly reached the last station of the game while the others approached the broken Glam-rock Freddy.

Others: Freddy.

Glam-rock Freddy: That's all right... You're all doing great. Thank you, Monty, and you for coming on time.

Vanny picked up two round animals and threw them to the human children.

Gregory: Hurry up!

As soon as she took one step, the machine screen turned off and all the bots turned off. The kids from Kikoriki stood with their eyes closed until they heard a familiar voice.

Vanessa: How are you kids?

As soon as they opened their eyes, they were surprised to see Vanessa holding a rabbit mask with a worried face.

Krash: It's true.

Gregory: So you really were in it.

Vanessa: Yes, but I didn't want to kill and make your animatronic friends evil. Even when I was under the influence, I didn't want to do it.

Cassie: We forgive you. All the same, Alina knew that William was to blame for everything.

Chiko: What about the others?

They walked over to the others who were helping Glam-rock Freddy stand up. Suddenly, the other animatronics opened their eyes and looked at their friends.

Glam-rock Chica: Glam-rock Freddy, do you still feel good?

Glam-rock Freddy: Yes... It's a little damaged... (To the others) Thanks you.

Cassie: Look, your friends have become themselves.

They watched their animatronics friends get up no longer angry.

Toy Freddy: Oh my God, I will remember this terrible moment. (He noticed that someone was missing) Where are Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy?

Doc: We don't know, but we'll find them.

However, not everything was as smooth as they thought when Glam-rock Freddy noticed how the bots came to life.

Glam-rock Freddy: They're alive!

All the broken bots were ready to attack, but suddenly they heard someone's explosion.

Lilo: What is this?

Street Cat: I think it's even worse...

As soon as Roxy looked closely, she was scared.

Roxy: Dynamites!

Glam-rock Freddy: Let's run!

They run away while the bots catch up.

Meanwhile, with DJ'S group.

They heard explosions when they went to their friends and noticed how everything started exploding.

Wander: Save yourself who can!

They all ducked while the DJ covered the living friends with his hands.

In the hall.

Everyone stood in shock from the explosion while Alina's band and Glam-rock Freddy joined them.

Alina: What's going on here?

Fire: Everything starts to explode!

Pink: But there are no others!

Doc: We need to find it immediately, while-

Everyone fell into the pit and only Griffona, coming out of the elevator, was scared behind them.

Griffona: No!

She noticed that cracks were appearing under her and she fell into the ground.

fluff - going on one of those long luxury train rides with matty (royal scotsman!!) and ur staying in a suite and also doing the nature activities in the highlands.... omg

just googled the price of this and i have never felt poorer. also the website did make me giggle because it's so clearly like... run by people in london who went to edinburgh or st andrews uni and would describe scotland as quaint. however! the train itself looks boujee as fuck and i am FASCINATED by the fact it has a dior spa. matty's worked with dior before so thinking that maybe they invite the two of you onto the trip as part of some campaign - birthday party would probs work best for this, because girly is also famous and it means they can both write about/inspired by their experiences on the trip. anyway, they get you and matty up to edinburgh to board the train, and you're both kinda in shock at how glam it all is - your suite (!!!) is incredible, huge and fancy and chic, and matty cracks several jokes about "we could just like... not leave here the whole time. what's the train equivalent of the mile high club? because we're joining it" lol. there's welcome drinks - you're like "i've been on trains in scotland before and let me tell you it was not whisky i was drinking on them" lmao - and waiting staff and all sorts, and one of the fanciest dinners you think you've ever had; afterwards, you and matty go on your first little excursion when the train stops, which is a little stargazing moment on the moors with an astronomer. and the skies are so clear because there's no light pollution whatsoever, and it's actually incredible and fairly romantic (so yes, you and matty do get a little bit freaky in the suite on the train lol). the next day, it's wild swimming and rock climbing in the morning - matty's annoyingly good at the latter, you less so - then back to the train for some dior spa treatments, which are life-changingly good, and lunch; dinner is provided at a nearby whisky distillery, followed by a tour and a tasting. you turn to matty during it like "now THIS is far more on our vibe. we should come back here again", and he jokes with you like "god why is it always the places with the expensive drinks you want to visit lol five bordeaux vineyards three champagne houses and now scotland's most expensive whisky? can we not just go to the tennent's brewery in glasgow lmao" - you shrug and you're like "well, as long as i'm with you i'll go anywhere i can get a drink lol" <3

"Huh?" Feet skid to a stop, sand flooding sandals. A heelspin sends it flying back where it belongs as Edwarf turns to look. Even without their reduced numbers, she's unmistakeable: Those twintails, that glam—

"Hilda!" Edward greets, delighted, before holding up the spade he's been dragging around with him whenever he's had occasion to hang out at the shore. "I'm going to dig up clams before the tide comes in to grill at the fire later!"

"Some of them have really pretty shells, so I'm collecting them for my friends at home." His voice then drops into a whisper, a secret divulged: "I even heard that we could find pearls inside, if we're lucky!"

Springing back up, he rocks back on his heels, vibrant, expectant. "You wanna come with? I'd love the company!"

His energy was contagious, and Hilda found herself smiling almost ear-to-ear as he told her about his plans. "Whoa, that sounds cool!" She pondered it for a second longer. "And like a lot of hard work... Are you not exhausted from rushing around all the time? I sure would be!"

She gestured back towards where she'd come from, her smile dropping to a near-frown. "Hmm... I was actually just brewing a pot of tea..."

Turning back towards him, her hands clasped together in an approximation of a begging motion. "I don't suppose you'd consider taking a break and joining me instead? Pleeeease?" Wide eyes blinked beseechingly. "You wouldn't make a lady take tea by herself, would you?"

[justices-blade]

"Hey, Edward, wait up!"

This week, there wasn't as many people milling around on the central island -- was it just her, or were there fewer people around in general? -- but she soon spied a familiar Deer rushing past. She caught up to him with a shout and a couple of quick steps that could be considered, by Hilda's standards, to constitute a sprint.

"Where are you off to in such a hurry, huh?"

"Huh?" Feet skid to a stop, sand flooding sandals. A heelspin sends it flying back where it belongs as Edwarf turns to look. Even without their reduced numbers, she's unmistakeable: Those twintails, that glam—

"Hilda!" Edward greets, delighted, before holding up the spade he's been dragging around with him whenever he's had occasion to hang out at the shore. "I'm going to dig up clams before the tide comes in to grill at the fire later!"

anon from this ask: https://www.tumblr.com/ca-suffit/757613676896337920/im-sorry-your-takes-are-generally-pretty-great-and?source=share

first thanks for hearing me out and your thoughtful response. had to think about it a bit and analyze some of my own biases. i think i have a certain amount of trust in the show around what I expect they're going to do with lestat in terms of examining the privilege he has (a white abuser in the spotlight telling his story would be a great topic to unpack, especially via daniel), but i know that's fully based on nothing! it would just be such a waste if they didn't. so I am putting more expectations on an objectively minor glimpse of information so I'll pare that back in my reply.

the one thing i wanted to clarify and emphasize was the 'groundbreaking'-ness of whatever lestat is doing here. i am not really arguing that he appears to be doing something cutting edge or never been done before, and i don't think he needs to be. (practically speaking, we're talking about art within an art aka a tv show, the art of a fictional character, there are limits.) given the large list of influences, they appear to be leaning into recognizable fashion and sound, but just because it's pastiche doesn't make it, like, uninteresting as a queer performance. on a more meta level, it's really fucking cool to see them leaning into glam rock and queer influences after the heterosexualization of Queen of the Damned, and letting a lead queer character be trashy and messy and also polarizing - not everyone is going to LIKE his music.

and yes it will speak to the individual. not every queer person will find this interesting. i guess what i wanted to defend was the elements of queer fandom who feel seen or moved by what they've decided to do here and i hate to see that get dismissed as memes alone or like no real queer person would find this good/worthy, as some of the other asks have implied, or that it's ONLY a symptom of white fandom. but i get that your blog in particular makes a space for fandom critique and there certainly is a lot of critique, and a lot of uncritical ~slay queen~ type response. i wanted to offer an alternative perspective, i guess. (and when I think of lestat making himself into a "queer icon", i personally don't mean a champion of activism or a beacon of positive representation. he's a horror character at the same time and has done terrible things. this is why I like the show, though.)

lastly, your point about the other characters and their art connections: absolutely!!! the fact that EVERY character here has an art connection for me makes this tv show a queer text in general. I want to add these art connections are complicated. lestat is as much a monster about music as it gives him humanity. louis's struggle with photography feels like a coda about his former struggles about his homosexuality. claudia giving up on her passion for the stage through armand's abuse is heartbreaking.

emphasizing lestat as the only artist would be a mistake. I think what sets him apart for me is that his art and also his queerness vs, say, louis and his art and queerness, is more of a divide between public vs private. louis did make an attempt to enter a public space and was shut down/discouraged. lestat reaching an in-fiction iconic status is a matter of privilege (as well as his personality, lol). i don't really have an argument here, just responding and hopefully adding to the discourse.

hi and thank u for coming back!!

despite what some ppl want my reputation to be, I do actually like talking about things and giving space for multiple perspectives. it helps nothing to take sides and be at war with each other all the time. a lot of why this fandom has gotten worse is bcuz ppl are doing exactly that. u can like whatever u like, but understanding the criticisms of the thing are crucial too. a big issue surrounding lestat is that ppl aren't used to his whiteness (or whiteness in general) being commented on. white fans, especially, will find it rly jarring to be perceived that way and take it rly personally. there's so many ppl here who think I'm calling them racist just bcuz I'm talking about lestat and prbly his white ignorance or smthing. they apply it to themselves and feel like a bad person for liking him. then they shut down and block me, even if our conversation was calm. white fragility is a hard thing to overcome.

there's not much u can do to avoid maybe being clumped in with white fandom if u like lestat, but it's not like the reality is that those are the *only* ppl who like him. that lie they perpetuate that everyone else is a lestat hater, loumand shipper or whatver is bullshit. they're overly simplifying a deeper issue bcuz they're racist, manipulative, and stupid. plenty of ppl like lestat and aren't part of that group. but u are gonna have to get used to being judged for liking him in some ways bcuz this fandom *has* made association with him a red flag. it doesn't mean *everyone* is gonna be hostile to u about it tho, but it does mean ur gonna have to change expectations and be a lot more open to hearing criticisms of it all. ppl aren't rly dismissing him outright or saying ur bad for liking him, it's just a fatigue surrounding his character and the fierce protection of whiteness this fandom has built around him (alongside anne's racist history and favoring of him too already). I mean, it seems like ur already aware of this, but just to put it into words too. lestat has always been an interesting, fucked up character and ppl should feel free to identity and explore whatever with him just like any other character.

tbh a lot of his point has been to be a little stupid and cringe anyway. idk how ppl read his narration and take it srsly and believe he's actually hot shit. he should be a disaster idiot rockstar with an ego that doesn't match his actual presentation. I'm hoping they might explore a lot with that. he's having a mental breakdown in every book but doesn't seem aware that he is, so what better way to explore that than with the white rockstar angle. that's p much all of them anyway lol and if ur queer (and a vampire having a neverending existential crisis) then even more so prbly.

For this week's theme, I wanted to share an analysis of a dynamic I wish we'd seen more of in the movie: Curt and Jack collaborating (+ a bit on their relationship with Brian).

The movie tells us that Jack is a "true original", and it implies that so is Curt, but it also adds that "everyone stole from Jack", so Jack was super popular in the '60s but we know that, by the time Jack finds Curt in Berlin, some of the youngest glam fans didn't know who Jack was, which is not surprising since even in real life there are many examples of artists that have inspired other famous people but have later fallen into obscurity, even more so when they're part of a minority. Before Berlin Curt was struggling to make music with Brian (more about that later), so of course working with Jack they're able to make what, I'm assuming, ends up being a popular record since we see later at the death of glitter concert that Jack is the host and back into the public's attention. It's easy to imagine Curt and Jack being able to connect with one another, not only because of their creativity but also because of their shared experiences with Brian, but while we see Brian literally steal the pin from Jack alongside stealing his crew and ideas, with Curt it's a bit more complicated.

The first time Brian sees Curt in concert he's immediately smitten, but he's also envious of Curt's performance, so when he's finally able to work with Curt it's obvious that his infatuation with Curt as a fan and his infatuation with his talent don't fit well together, producing Curt is a way for Brian to be able to claim some of Curt's talent and be able to put his name near his and also somewhat posess him under the company's name, he is also able to steal some of his identity in a way when they become a duo, since they're now connected and one cannot exist without the other in the eyes of the public, but this fantasy doesn't last long. When Curt's free spirited creativity starts to dull under the restrictions imposed by the recording company, he stops matching the image of the rockstar "Curt Wild" that Brian had created in his mind, so of course when choosing between siding with the recording company and siding with Curt as simply a person and not his rock persona he chose the company.

Valuing talent through the lens of having or not having a public is what distorted Brian's view of what being an artist means since the beginning, Jack Fairy being adored by the patrons of the Sombrero club and Curt being despised by the festival goers is all the same to him, Brian Slade cannot exist without having a public that perceives him, and we're shown this with him performing as Little Richard (already copying someone else) as a child in front of his family, in comparison we see Jack as a child become his own persona alone in his room in front of a mirror, the difference between a true original that can exist alone on it's own versus a copy that needs something to base itself on and also needs some form of external acknowledgement of its existence.

These childhood memories not only show us the differences between Jack and Brian but they also show the similarities between Jack and Curt since they both use their past traumas as fodder for their creativity, Jack using the blood from his lip as lipstick and Curt going bonkers whenever he hears electric guitar, because of the electroshock, are both examples of this. Curt's spontaneous and unrestricted creativity was probably free to flow with Jack (as opposed to the recording company) since they could relate to one another, and I really wish we had gotten something more about them working together in Berlin.

There's also another way that Jack and Curt's relationships with Brian could be seen, that is as a metaphor of the music industry: stealing from indie artists, suffocating creative people with the obligation to comfort to certain standards, measuring their worth only through how many fans (aka customers) they have and rewarding mediocre mass appeal (Tommy Stone).

And that's it, I would have liked to say more about Curt and Jack, but I got nothing left at the moment, feel free to add any ideas you might have. Also, this ended up having a lot more Brian analysis than I predicted lol I would love to make some Brian vs everyone analysis posts and get more into the details of Brian's relationships someday, despite him being an asshole I still really like Brian as a character, love to hate him.
