#god is gay and it's alex turner

[28-destiel-505]

Every early Arctic Monkeys' song is just "Look at this guy, he's so cool and perfect. Everybody wants him...but NOT ME. And i'm sure he's such a good kisser...but I don't want to kiss him. I'm just thinking about his lips a lot. He's taking all the girls and i'm so upset but I also understand cause look at him omg. Oh and I'm a bottom btw...not that I want to have sex with him. But I would. Not in a gay way tho cause I also want to punch him"

Calling all the coquette aesthetic girls on here, help me find some satanic goth dolette witch kinda stuff in here, if you don't mind? I'm struggling with finding the right aesthetic so I'll describe it a little: it combines satanic goth, romantic goth, dolette and witchcore with a bit of art hoe and academia. Thankyou <33

Ok idk if this wish be a good one or not bcs I am really not in a good state for past few months and idk what's gonna happen next just few days back while I was already insecure with my life safety yesterday a tragic incident happened Liam Payne just died I, I srsly can't believe it if someone can say that it's fake I will hug them bcs I just lost someone from my childhood someone who would instantly put smile on my face when I was sad insecured vulernable by his songs, someone who would say it's all ok you will be fine just trust me everything is gonna be good someone whom I could cry openly even though the person didn't know my existence but yes I lost them even though I still feel something is wrong like I don't think he accidentally felt off or attempted suicide bcs just before like he was so happy meeting with fans hugged them like just the previous night even just before the news of his death came he putted a post in Snapchat telling how his vacation was going on even though there he was a bit sad. But he was a shinning soul the energised one from the band and also the fact that just 18 months ago they said they would reunion but then this happened I don't wanna see their reunion on his funeral bcs we didn't want this reunion. I still can't believe and I still cry when I see Liam in the music videos of 1D. And yk another thing like I lost many including my family members then like Chester Bennington and then Avicii then Ratan Tata and now Liam like if I see Alex Turner is dead idk what the hell will happen with me bcs the person i looked upto are dying thank God Wilbur survived but yea i did tell this to one of my friend and he said I was being gay like what the heck anyway here is the birthday wish.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMMMM!!!!!!! MANNY MANNY HAPPY RETURN OF THE DAY, I HOPE ALL YOUR DREAMS COMES TRUE MAY YOU OVERCOME ALL THE OBSTACLES AND KISS THE ZENITH OF YOUR SUCCESS HAVE A GREAT ONE DON'T GIVE UP ON LIFE BCS YOU HAVE OVERCOMED SO MANY STORMS SO TAKE A LOOK BACK TO ALL OF IT TODAY AND BE HAPPY AND PROUD AND LOVE YOURSELF. I WISH YOU A HEALTHY LIFE A HEALTHY HEALTH AND MUCH MORE ENERGY TO SHOW YOUR CREATIVITY TOWARDS THE WORLD, I HOPE THE POTENTIALS YOU HAVE INSIDE OF YOU COMES TO THE LIMELIGHT OF THE WORLD THROUGH YOUR CREATIVITIES. AND MOST IMPORTANT DON'T FORGET TO ENJOY TODAY AND EAT AS MANY FOOD AS YOU WANT TO AND DO THE THINGS YOU LIKE TO!!! SENDING YOU A POSITIVE MENTAL HEALTH. KEEP YOUR LOVED ONES VERY CLOSE TO YOU AND STAY SAFE.

And yea just a pic from one of the 1D Fan Page I got i just cried after reading it yet crying while writing all of these if you are 1D do take a look at it at your free time. And sorry for putting this so long thing I i just dk...

And also why did you say me thanks when I said not to pls don't do it bcs I feel like I am disrespecting you and like also not only violating my manners but like making the people I looked upto means my idols my comfort person feel disrespected about myself.

And also if you need any help regarding inspo for your wolf cut or anything do freely tell me bcs I wanna help people in need despite in whatever condition I am in I can't ignore the people who needs help. So tell freely.

*Starts to cry like hell*

yeah, I wasn't a huge fam of 1D but it did hurt hearing about liams death- and I completely agree with everything you say.

Thank you for da birthday wish!!

Idk why I said thank you when you said not to it's just mental memory I guess and you aren't ever disrespecting me!! <3

[I'm still tryna answer the long ask you sent me with the questions I'm nit ignore that!!]

[saintfrancis-ofassisi]

Wsp Eleanor! I'm genuinely interested in the OCs u keep posting about lol do you have some sort of lore for them or smth ?

hihi!! ohhh boyy i have so much lore for em n ill be happy to share !!!

sooo starting with my first real kinda big project, tranquility. (its a mashup fanfic based on the concept of tranquility base hotel and casino, the monument mythos, andd the secret history.)

the main character (also the one ive made the most art of) is mark schwartz (his name is a reference mix of the song n alex turner's persona) . so he was born on a smaller sheep farm in england n yea grows up normal n boring. he moves to sheffield for college, but after two years he gets the news that his father died. so he moves back to the farm to help his mother. she dies like a few months later from natural reasons. now mark is alone in this world n he hates it. (also this takes place from the 60s-70s) so he ups n moves to america. what he doser know is that theres a giant monster under it n a alternate reality where your head gets ripped off and turned into a government blimp (i think its canon in mm, but i dont remember lol) so he gets a giant industrial level cattle ranch in a small town in nebraska ULTRA cheap from some dude tryin to leave as fast as he can. (he found out though a magazine) so mark moves in n yea. he sell all the cattle to gai back what money he lost on the farm. SO this is where the second mc comes in /another oc

sherrible clemens (sherri). so her family has always lived in the small town (no name rn) n they are ultra religious (most of the town is). they only know stories of the special trees n all bcs it hasnt affected them yet. anyways when shes thirteen she gets in a hunting accident and kills her best friend in a smallish scrubby forest outside the town. n shes so scared of hell n god n like shes in shock but her first thought is to hide the body so she pushes it under a tree and BOOM it disappears n she finds a real special tree. basicly she said that her fried got lost n everyone bought it. so know she knows n her whole life is ruined blah blah blah she becomes vry manipulative n hides everything n yea her life is kinda normal until mark comes. so like hes nEw and all so the whole town is all over him n like mark n sherri are some of the only youngish adults so ofc they kinda bond later become friends n all n yea its all ok or whatever untill like a few months later when sherri decides to go to college in vermont (anything to get away from her crime) so she does n idk what she studies but theres an undercover agent who befriends her i hope of gettin more info on special trees/wonderlad bcs the government thinks bcs she killed someone n sent them to wonderland she has more info or whatever. she she falls for it and again shes in college for around two years n they are a bit more than friends when she fids some notes hes been takin on her n like in a fit of rage she kills him near a gully n runs away back to nebraska where mark is gone wOw ( they lost contact in the first year) SOMEHOW mark got connections n built a hotel and casino on the moon

idk man but anyways hes up there n gets news that sherris back so he sends her a ticket or whatever to get up there n like she comes to say goodbye bcs she wants to kill herself. so when she gets up there she breaks down n all and mark is like wOw i rEaLlY sHoUlD pRoPoSe tO hEr rIgHt nOw and yea she says no ofc n leaves as soon as he can n kills herself on a special tree, and mark is like wtf so he goes onto the lunar surface and meet richard nixon who is a god in a cave n good ol richard offers to take away his depression so ofc hes like yes i should trust the president living in a cave on the moon and yea he basically dies and comes back as a deity with no memories n nixon controls him AND sherri bcs ofc shes not rlly dead and like they just make messes on earth or whatever nixon wants until sherri decides to kill mark to get his power n she does n then BOOM shes power hungry so she gets nixon n messes up the universe and the timeline changes n the story restarts in a way where everything was normal or whatever and james dean is the president (hes also basically a devil)

anddd yea. the end ig

NOWWW onto the sisters gemini (this is somthin im writing with @skagheart sooo im mostly explaining my oc)

so i dont rlly want to spoil this one but basiclly cassandra gemini grew up in a kinda normal household (her mother is schizophrenic n both her daughters are too) on a mountain somewhere idk where. and yea she moves out at twenty three n gets a job n apartment blah blah blah utill her father dies n she moves back in with her mother n sister. after his death her mother kinda snapped n became obsessed with religion n thinks shes a god of sorts. her sister (madeline) starts beliving her n everything gets worse from there. cassandra is the oly halfway sane one anymore and her mental/physical health is declining rapidly until around twoish months later SHE snaps in in her delusion shoots em both before running into the woods behind their house n hanging herself with barbed wire.

okkk on to the fun ones

so gabe (gabriel, no last name rn) falls in love with his friend (axel, i did not name hm) after they like are friends for around two years n play shitty music together anddd yea they realize theyve been in love with each other the whole time and yea the end its vry boring

andd untitled work with this slightly loopy lady named maya who has a tonnnn of cats n believes in aliens n all and yea an alien visits her and leaves n she trys to convince everyone that it happened but no one believes her and the end (its a wip rn)

and i have a few more but theyre also wips so like idk if you wanna hear about them lol (i also have a tonnn of dd ocs lol)

[aurorawest]

Reading update!

So as you'll see below I've read a lot of books since the last time I did one of these. I'm not going to write a little blurb for all of them, only the ones I feel strongly about. But I'm going to start including my ratings.

Arctic Sun by Annabeth Albert. 4.25/5 stars

Where We Left Off by Roan Parrish. 5/5 stars

Peter Cabot Gets Lost by Cat Sebastian. 5/5 stars

This book was just. So lovely. Short and fast-paced, but I loved Peter and Caleb so much. I love the time period too. I know this is me being toxic and problematic and showing my internalized homophobia or whatever but I actually really like books set in places and time periods where homophobia is a real and present danger. I think it's because I'm totally a Love Conquers All romantic, so the fact that people dgaf and make a go of being together anyway scratches that itch.

Anyway, good book. I picked up the other two in the series but haven't read them yet.

Let's Get Back to the Party by Zak Salih. 4/5 stars

Literature. Good but pretty sad.

No Gods For Drowning by Hailey Piper. 3/5 stars

The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas. DNF

I got 50 pages in before I gave into my hate and DNFed this.

The Lost Future of Pepperharrow by Natasha Pulley. 5/5 stars

I find it genuinely upsetting that Natasha Pulley isn't a household name, because she writes the most beautiful, gutting books that I have maybe ever read. I don't understand how she's able to write what is, on the surface, a completely mundane sentence, and yet there's this roiling sea of heartbreak underneath it.

This is the sequel to The Watchmaker of Filigree Street, easily one of the best books I've ever read, and this one is at least as good.

Natural Enemies by Roan Parrish. 4/5 stars

Us by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy. 3.75/5 stars

Silver in the Wood by Emily Tesh. 5/5 stars

Lovely little novella that read like a fairy tale.

The Prince's Poisoned Vow by Hailey Turner. 4.25/5 stars

At first I despaired of ever learning who all the characters were in this book because the first like, 10 chapters were all from a different POV, but I got a handle on all of them and liked it a lot.

Spectred Isle by KJ Charles. 4.75/5 stars

Un Lun Dun by China Miéville. DNF

This is the book that made me realize I hate whimsical books.

Here the Whole Time by Vitor Martins. 4/5 stars

The Lightning-Struck Heart by TJ Klune. 3/5 stars

I ranted about this one already but Jesus, Klune. This straight up reads like the kind of stuff I wrote when I was like, 14, and I don't mean that as a compliment to my 14 year old self.

Love, Hate & Clickbait by Liz Bowery. 5/5 stars

!!!!! This book was so good!!!! I picked it up way back when it came out but it only surfaced in the TBR pile in March, and it did not let me down. Thom and Clay are SO unlikable, but you start to like them in a way that's practically insidious because you don't see it coming. By the end, I was totally rooting for them and loved them both. And this is a romcom with a truly great villain, too, which definitely isn't standard in romances.

Red Skies Falling by Alex London. 5/5 stars

Second book in a series that revolves around a culture where falconry is hugely important. If you want fantasy that doesn't take place in fantasy England, check this series out. It has an A+ sibling relationship, a lovely romance, and high stakes. But this one was saaaaad ugh so sad.

Less by Andrew Sean Greer. 3.75/5 stars

I hated this book until about 80% through, and then it subverted all my expectations and I ended up liking it okay. I thought it was just about a pathetic middle aged gay white man (I know I know, that's my type, what's the problem?) feeling sorry for himself, but it was deeper than that. And it had a nice ending.

Invitation to the Blues by Roan Parrish. 4/5 stars

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. 5/5 stars (reread)

Bought this edition for the bonus chapter from Henry's POV and for @vkelleyart's end pages. Totally worth it. I love this book just as much as I did the first time.

Threshold by Jordan L Hawk. 4.25/5 stars

So this is a series with like, 11 books? I read the first one and was kind of eh on it. Good enough to buy the second, not enough to buy all 11 or whatever. But the second one was substantially better, so now I've acquired like 5 more of them. I continue to be a sucker for late 19th century/early 20th century settings.

Lavender House by Lev AC Rosen. 4.5/5 stars

Is gay noir a thing? Because that's what I'm calling this book. Gay noir. I loved the main character and I'm really excited this is going to be a series (I've already preordered the second one). The only reason I knocked off half a star is because some of the side characters were irritating. And as a mystery, it wasn't great, so I wouldn't read this one if you're looking for a really good mystery. It's definitely more about the character development and the relationships.

Though possibly one reason I didn't think the mystery was that good is because it got spoiled for me on tumblr by someone who imo had a pretty shallow read on the book. Honestly not sure if they actually read it or they just skimmed it.

Something Wild & Wonderful by Anita Kelly. 5/5 stars

AHHH. THIS BOOK!! This book was so good. So I've been making fun of it for a while because if you look at the cover, it looks like a Stucky AU. And you know what, maybe it was, but at least it didn't read that way, lol. It was really lovely and I'll be using it as a comp for the manuscript I finished last week.

The Bedlam Stacks by Natasha Pulley. 5/5 stars

I don't even have anything else to say except that you need to read Natasha Pulley's books. Please. If you're reading this post, go get her books. Buy them, take them out of the library, whatever. Do it.

Work for It by Talia Hibbert. 4.25/5 stars

A Tree of Bones by Gemma Files. 4.5/5 stars

Any Old Diamonds by KJ Charles. 5/5 stars

Something happened in this book that made me close it and stare into the middle distance, then put it aside until I could process.

Anyway you should definitely read it.

Farview by Kim Fielding. 4/5 stars

Whistling in the Dark by Tamara Allen. 4.25/5 stars

Currently reading The Restless Dark by Erica Waters

Which I'm enjoying more than I thought I would!

All Lights Turned Off Can Be Turned On

All Lights Turned Off Can Be Turned On https://ift.tt/tASCW2Q by redneckangelsdrinkmoonshine One year and six months have passed since Sam, Dean and Jack defeated Chuck. Jack is the new God, the bunker is full of the new generation of hunters who are excited to learn from the best in the business, and Sam and Dean rarely work any cases these days. Everything is fine, but something's missing. Someone is missing. Dean still grieves the loss of everything he never got to have and Sam misses his best friend. The brothers have tried everything to bring Castiel back, but with Jack MIA all of their attempts were unsuccessful. Until Sam figures out a way to get into the Empty. Dean has prepared an entire speech, full of parallels such as "Good things do happen, Cas.", "I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition!" and most importantly "I love you." However, once in the Empty, Sam and Dean find out that Castiel escaped a long time ago. But where the hell is he?

"Everything that you've come to expect " in 2016 spurring on even MORE gay shit if that was possible with singles like "bad habits" title track and the infamous "miracle aligner" and it's internet breaking video and that rlly cemented the fact that oh shit these bitches are really gay dujvuchcv and like there's SO much more like so many little things between miles and Alex and like with will be even longer than it needs to be but like ........eycte tour ........a goldmine...I leave u with this the infamous Coachella kiss that got them promptly banned from Coachella ♥️ (there's also way more kisses lmao ahhsjxhxj)

> of formerly the rascals and the little flames

Is that what "remember when you used to be a rascal" references in fluorescent adolescent? Really makes you think.................. ........... ..

This is an insanely good summary lmao THANK YOU bc god knows it would've taken me ages to find out all this stuff on my own. They got banned from coachella for one (1) kiss?? That's so fucking funny. Iconic behaviour

I didn't know Miles features on 505 either :O I fucking love that song so much

[28-destiel-505]

Catch these Melt Festival 2024 highlights at Brisbane Powerhouse

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/catch-these-melt-festival-2024-highlights-at-brisbane-powerhouse/

Catch these Melt Festival 2024 highlights at Brisbane Powerhouse

Melt Festival 2024 is the ultimate celebration of LGBTQIA+ artists and allies, featuring over 220 dazzling performances and events electrifying Brisbane/Magandjin from 23 October to 10 November.

Artists and performers from across Brisbane/Magandjin, Australia and around the globe will wash the city with art, glitter and colour for three mammoth weeks.

This celebration of the vibrant river city and the LGBTQIA+ community will be hosted across dozens of Brisbane venues, including iconic Brisbane Powerhouse.

See thirteen of this year’s Melt highlights at Brisbane Powerhouse below, with tickets to the entire Melt Festival 2024 program on sale now.

Rainbow History Class Live

It’s time to brush up on the LGBTQIA+ history not taught in school with TikTok sensation Rainbow History Class. In the Rainbow History Class live classroom, teacher Rudy Jean Rigg and writer/researcher Hannah McElhinney leave the internet behind and bring the history of the LGBTQIA+ community to life IRL in an evening of celebratory storytelling.

From the origins of Mardi Gras, to the reason Alice Springs became a lesbian hotspot, and the time gay slang sent the US military on a wild goose chase, Rainbow History Class live classroom is one class you don’t want to skip. Homework: optional. Detention: never. Glitter: always.

Thank God You’re Queer

Thank God You’re Queer is a fabulous gay twist on Australia’s most successful improvised show. Join Brisbane’s finest LGBTQI+ improvisers at the Melt Festival as they bring to life a kaleidoscope of scenes inspired by the real-life queer experiences of the audience.

But here’s the exciting twist: each scene features a special guest improviser, all of whom may be exploring queer territory for the first time. Yes, they’re all straight. It’s stupid, silly, and a whole lot of gay fun!

Scout Boxall

Arrive thirsty and leave quenched; arrive tired and leave renewed; and arrive lonely and leave among friends. Drawing on their last three sold-out, award-winning solo shows, Scout Boxall sandwiches fresh new comedy material in between their all-time favourite bits. Only the finest and crispiest treats for the children!

Jessi Ryan: Functional Bottom

Hot off the back of their Melbourne International Comedy Festival season Jessi Ryan, returns to Melt Festival for the first time since 2018. A fusion of storytelling, performance art, filth, provocation and tears, Functional Bottom is a darkly humorous exploration of a year in the life of Jessi Ryan – artiste, journalist and hot f#%king mess.

How else do you to respond to an ‘anus horribilis’ in the era of the neo-Nazi, including nearly dying on the emergency room table, colon removal and the death of their fetish-loving sugar daddy? Strap yourselves in, raw, unapologetic, messy and chaotic, nothing is off limits, and rubber gloves are optional.

Alex Hines is Juniper Wilde – Demon Slayer

Juniper Wilde is dead. The High Priestess of Pop makes a desperate deal with the Devil to return to the mortal plane. Her wish is granted, but at what cost? It’s absurdist satire meets Gaga at a seance, a camp horror comedy like no other – YOU WILL GAG!

TINA – A Tropical Love Story

Enter the enchanting realm of First Nations drag performer Miss Ellaneous (Ben Graetz), as he shares his deeply personal tales of growing up in Darwin and the profound impact Tina had on his life. In 1993, amidst the sweltering atmosphere of the Darwin Amphitheatre in the Northern Territory, a young First Nations boy found himself swept away by the legendary Tina Turner’s mesmerising performance.

Little did he know that fateful night would ignite a journey of self-discovery and transformation. Tina – A Tropical Love Story blends storytelling and cabaret in a heartfelt tribute to the indomitable spirit of Tina Turner.

Helios

A lad lives half way up a historic hill. A teenager is on a road trip to the city in a stolen car. A boy is driving a chariot, pulling the sun across the sky. A story about the son of the god of the sun, HELIOS transplants the Ancient Greek tale into a modern-day myth wound round the winding roads of rural England and into the everyday living of a towering city. A story about life, and about the invisible monuments we build to it.

Leather Lungs: Shut Up & Sing!

It’s time to shut up and sing! Experience the power of a voice spanning over four octaves in this hilarious cabaret romp. With the flamboyance of Prince, the force of Aretha, and a vocal range as mind-blowing as Freddie’s, this daring deviant will blow audiences at the Melt Festival away!

Hans: Disco Spektakulär

Step into the glittering world of Hans Disco Spektakulär! Berlin’s beloved cabaret superstar, Hans is bringing his sensational show to Brisbane’s Melt in 2024.

Prepare for a dazzling extravaganza, where Hans will light up the stage with his trademark blend of comedy, music, and mesmerising dance moves. Backed by his live band, The Ungrateful Bastards, and the fabulous dancers known as The Lucky B*tches, Hans promises an unforgettable night of sequins and spectacle.

Old Friends

Old Freinds Mark Trevorrow, Rupert Noffs and leading musical director Bev Kennedy share their love of Broadway legend Stephen Sondheim in an intimate evening of cabaret celebrating the late, great composer and lyricist’s songs.

Featuring solos, duets, mashups and medleys, with light-hearted banter and stories in between, it’s a classy, superbly played and sung show with a cheeky queer bent.

Frankie van Kan: A Body At Work

Serial nudist Frankie van Kan (AKA Frankie Valentine – Stripped Queer, Club Briefs, Baby Got Back, Seen & Heard Cabaret) achieves the improbable task of exposing more of herself than ever before in this deeply intimate piece of confessional theatre at Brisbane Powerhouse during Melt.

Beginning in a strip club, with insightfully refreshing antics of strip club culture and the perceived power dynamics between workers and clients, Frankie unpacks her own whorephobia and the unravelling of boundaries. A Body At Work is the tale of a queer woman’s sixteen years – and counting – in the sex industry.

Sunday’s Child

With cheekiness and play, Hannah Brontë queerifies an old nursery rhyme that describes the temperament of a child, based on the day they were born. Brontë uses this term to celebrate queer happiness, joy and intimacy through her portraiture series which shows us contemporary relationships amidst nurturing backdrops, embedding diverse genders and sexualities in the natural world.

Fountain Lakes In Lockdown

What did Australia’s foxiest morons get up to during the pandemic? It’s August, 2021. Kath is up to pussy’s bow in sourdough bread, Kim’s been asked to work from home (though that happened long before the pandemic started) and Sharon has had a severe reaction to all the hand sanitiser.

Relive the uniquely Australian pandemic experience through the eyes of these uniquely Australian characters hilariously parodied with quick wit and camp tunes by Art Simone, Thomas Jaspers, Leasa Mann and Scott Brennan.

Tickets for these Brisbane Powerhouse shows and more at the Melt Festival are on sale now.

Person at the bar : oh? You use he/him pronouns?? I would never have guessed. Sorry! I just...*gestures to me from head to toe* really thought you were a woman you know..*rambles on for a while*

Me : Nah, that's fine, I dont get offended if people misgender me and all, I'm quite self-aware and I know that my fashion and some of my features are deemed feminine and therefore most people use she/her pronuns upon meeting me.

Me *inside* : OMG I'M BINDING, I'M PACKING, MY VOICE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ANDROGYNOUS...THE WHOLE TABLE REFERS TO ME AS "HE", I USE THE MALE CHANGING ROOM AT THE GYM WITH NO QUESTION ASKED AND YOU DARE...DARE TELLING ME YOU WERE CONVINCED I WAS A WOMAN BECAUSE...

Most people see Conrad through his flaws. He's never been close enough to people to let them see his good qualities except maybe Reggie who had to wait years to get through his cousins damaged exterior and aunts manipulation. So here we go. Pre-Character Development examples.

• He shares with you no matter if he likes you or not. Be it a cigarette or even a pencil, he always offers (This habit begins with his need to be different than his selfish thieving cousin, until it just becomes second nature)

• You don't mess with what's his. It doesn't matter if his cousin and the band don't like him, they are his, you say something about them or god forbid try and hurt them, he will fight you.

• He's actually good at listening and giving advice. Is he rude and shitty about it yes, but below that stuff is actual good advice and intention if he likes you enough. "Parents kick you out cuz your gay? Fuck em', you live your life, don't be a pussy Alex." "Can't get the words to apologize to mommy, god Patterson your such a wuss, write a fucking song about it if it's so hard for you to choke out the sentences." Reggie.......nope won't open that can of worms, unless he wants to open his own, and he'll only do that when hell freezes over or he dies and becomes a ghost.

• He sings like an angel. Reggie sings with an excited energy, like breaking free from a cage. Conrad on the other hand. Soft, its so freaking soft, the softest thing about him. Give him a love ballad and he will bring tears to your eyes.

This is... like... really good.

I love this.

What I’m getting from this is that Conrad is just a straight-up realist. He has very limited times for lengthy emotional outbursts. 

“Your parents kicked you out when they found out you were gay? Sounds like they were shit parents, then. Better off without them.”

Also I hear you say soft and I raise you smoky. His voice is raspy and true, a bit like Alex Turner or Tom Odell. 

I’d like to recommend listening to Heal by Tom Odell as a good example of what I think Conrad’s voice and tone would be like.

Thank you, anon <3
