#i miss thornville

[straycalamities]

the entre zombieskully art… i mean the ones on the deactivated account. like one of them he’s in a dinosaur costume lol

yeah that's all just extra art i did while i was running his main blog

anything like this is typically just mainverse/main-blog entre (swag wearing gent's monocle, gent laughing, entre wearing swag's glasses with his missing tooth implying this is post las vegas tomfoolery. i was inspired by tinychat shenanigans)

and anything sorta weird is probably a magic!anon i did on his mainverse (left is a homestuck magic!anon. there is a lot of homestuck influence in his early blog because i was a very active fan of it then, the right is a magic!anon from his lerkim days so fast forwarding into his future)

this is camp weehawken entre from the first run in the summer of 2012

and this is unfortunately the first time i tried to put entre in thneedville high as a teacher. i do not want to talk about it. i'm only adding this so you know. i do not like to talk about most of my time in thneedville high/thornville high besides some spook stuff

The Askblog/Onceler Fandom: A Playlist

{listen} {art}

It’s been five years since the onceler fandom was a thing. I had the unique privilege to be apart of it from beginning to end, and throughout the fandom’s life the numerous RP plots and silly memes heavily revolved around music. The movie had its own music we frequently referred to, but the fandom itself ended up creating its own soundtrack during its glory days to the point where I can’t hear any of these songs without thinking of the fandom.

So back in September, instead of using my labor day vacation to do homework like a responsible adult, I combed through my blog, my old fandom blog, and all (yes, all) of the main askblogs and their au selves to gather as much of the most memorable music as I could find. This playlist is the result. I didn’t include songs from the movie because that’s pretty easy to find, but these are unique and if you’re like me you probably forgot about like, half of these. And during this project I learned that, for some reason, there’s still a bunch of you still kicking and there’s new people coming in, so I thought this would be a cool piece of fandom history to share with you since you weren’t able to experience it first hand like the rest of us.

Without further adu, the history behind each track. This is NOT the order in the playlist. That’s just random because I really wanted to milk that surprise nostalgia factor (and if you want the best experience you should put the playlist on shuffle). IF YOU THINK I MISSED ANY IMPORTANT SONG, OR IF ANY OF THE MAIN ARTISTS WANT ME TO ADD SOMETHING, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I will add them! I just did what I could find and remember as significant.

Here we go...

GENERAL (The beginnings of an empire)

1. Everybody Loves Me - OneRepublic (this popular amv)

2. Oh No! - Marina and the Diamonds (this popular post)

3. Peacock - Katy Perry (Honestly all I remember is Swag started it)

4. Wide Awake - Katy Perry (SWAG SANG AN ACOUSTIC VERSION OF THIS BUT I CAN’T FIND IT ANYMORE)

THE ASKBLOGS (What you all came for!)

1. Money - Mindless Self Indulgence (Enter Swag. One of the first askblogs out of the famous ones. This is one of the first songs he posted)

2. Cannibal - Ke$ha (Enter One-ler. Started as a joke just because of a typo, became one of the most popular askblogs, and my personal favorite =D Also, sidenote, this asshole has no songs associated with him besides this one. At least in his OG form anyway)

3. Good Time - Owl City ft. Carly Rae Jepsen (Enter Bitter. His name should tell you what you need to know. APPARENTLY HE’S STILL SUPER ACTIVE?????? Who would’ve guessed? This song is also associated with teen!Bitter)

2. RICHMAN! - 3OH!3 (Someone who was very popular in the fandom at the time made a storyboard about Swag, One, Gent, and Bitter with this song. I’m not linking this person because I don’t think they’d want the attention)

3. Party at a Rich Dude’s House - Ke$ha (Where were YOU when Swag got stuck in a closet and all of us took over his fucking mansion and threw a FANDOM WIDE PARTY??????)

(There’s a SHITTON of Oncelers missing here. If Gent, Pimp, BP, 2012, Steampunk, Entre, Ink, Creep, etc had any widely known songs in the fandom please let me know so I can add them!)

THNEEDVILLE/THORNVILLE HIGH (When shit starts to get real/The start of “deoncelerization”. People liked this AU so much, including the creators, that the characters involved ditched the onceler title and became legit OCs! Lots of people hated it, lots of people loved it, but either way that’s how they stayed

Sidenote: The best fics came from this AU just sayin’~)

1. Teenagers - My Chemical Romance (prepare for some legit grade A YA angst)

2. California Girls - Katy Perry (Enter Teen!Swag/Oliver. This is the start of Swag’s well-known association with Katy Perry. This is the first song he posted, but everyone associated him with this song instead. This blog still updates sometimes!)

3. Animal I Have Become - Three Days Grace and also Space Jam (Enter Teen!One/Gabriel. Everyone’s favorite edgy, school hottie, goofy, werebear-loving, space jamming, not completely mentally stable teen. I still love him. Also every fucking song associated with One was a joke and I love it. Animal I Have Become was his own fucking request on his blog for a fan thing what a nerd. He even practiced drumming to it.)

4. School’s Out - Alice Cooper (Enter Teen!Rocky/Johnny. This guy was the au version of Rockstar Onceler but this quickly became the more popular version. He’s a punkass teen who wants to be a rockstar! The character arc on this one though, hot damn. Definitely a late fave among the fandom)

5. Smash the Control Machine - Otep (Enter Teen!Spook/Jericho. Okay. So, Spook is actually the au version of an au version of Entre. Yeah, it got deep for a minute. But like Rocky, Spook immensely overshadowed his origins and became a late top-tier fave. He was my favorite after One. If One wasn’t edgy enough for you or didn’t have enough baggage, then Spook was your man. Legit anarchist and actual practicing punk--he explains how to be punk here and it’s my favorite post by him--so he often got on political rants, damn the man, fuck capitalism, etc etc. His backstory is hella sad and he’s like haunted by a demon?? It sounds a little out there, but Spook, imo, has the best writing and character development out of everyone and you should read it. Idk who I had a bigger crush on, him or One.

Anyway, he sang this song on his blog. Sadly, his blog and Rocky’s are officially inactive)

THE SHIPS (nevermind, this is what you came for isn’t it, ya nasty?)

E.T. - Katy Perry (Swoncest. Swag+One, arguably the most popular ship in the fandom. Literally promoted by Swag, with edited lyrics and all!)

Love Me Dead - Ludo (More Swoncest. I mean, every fandom uses this song at some point for their problematic couples)

My First Kiss - 3OH!3 ft Ke$ha (TEEN!SWAG AND ONE KISS FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER AND WE ALL FUCKING LOSE IT)

Up and Up - Reliant K (Switter. Swag+Bitter. Second most popular ship for awhile maybe???? Bitter sang this for Swag.)

Tongue Tied - Grouplove (SWONTER. SWAG+BITTER+ONE. Because why the fuck not we were already going to hell at this point. What a wild ride this ship was. This was actually a really popular ship for a hot minute but faded pretty quickly. Which made me horribly sad because it was my favorite and a lot of really cool fics came from it)

I Almost Told You That I Love You - Papa Roach (SPOOKSTAR. Rocky+Spook. Nothing ever really dethroned Swoncest during the glory days, but this came pretty close toward the end. I’d say it was at least in the top 5 ships. Also my favorite after Swonter. Watching Spook constantly pine over Rocky until they finally got together gave me life. Spooky plays it here.)

Do You Wanna Touch - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (Spookstar. Rocky sings it after he gets M!A’d into a cis girl)

Do I Wanna Know? - Arctic Monkeys (So, fun fact: this is the last song I’ve associated with the fandom before I basically faded away? I miraculously got into Spook’s mod’s stream before it ended and he was drawing a Spookstar pic to this song and it was basically on repeat, and it was the first I’d ever heard it. I can’t find the pic and don’t know which one of Spook’s mods’ art blogs I should check. Sorry =/)

The Only Hope For Me Is You - My Chemical Romance (Swagtre. Swag+Entre. Yeah, okay, THIS ship was def in the top 3 at least, especially as Truffula Flu grew in popularity. The lyrics are even in Entre’s zombie au description. Look at that smitten face. What a big gay <3)

Stereo Hearts - Gym Class Heroes ft Adam Levine (Prisma+Swag. Idk the ship name. Yo, listen. You wanna spot who’s a onceling in a crowd? Play this song and watch for the people that burst out in tears. This was probably one of the only hetero ships you were gonna see, and even if you didn’t ship it, Swag and Prisma were best friends from the very beginning. So, all of us felt Swag’s heartbreak when she FUCKING DIED HORRIBLY IN TRUFFULA FLU. Swag dedicated the song to her here)

(Popular ships I don’t have music for: GentlePimp, BitterOne, Steamler, Creamler, 1Spook, 1SpookStar, 72+Entre, Catnippackets+Swag???????...and everything else)

GROUND ZERO: TRUFFULA FLU (Apparently MCR is the soundtrack to the apocalypse)

This was literally such a huge, well written event that it crossed fandoms and had people that weren’t even involved watching it. Since it had such a following, there was even talk of the creators making it a real comic to sell. Sadly, despite its massive success, this was the beginning of the end for the glory days of the fandom. Lots of people were upset that Camp Entre was getting all the attention and weren’t openly allowing everyone to jump in and join their narrative. This caused a lot of infighting and anger toward the bigger askblogs and their mods, with some people siding with the mods’ decisions and others writing angry posts about their opposition. With the pressures of consistently updating the story becoming extremely stressful for the mods, added on top of the pressures from the fandom, they decided to end their Truffula Flu narrative prematurely, much to the disappointment of many fans. The blogs are still open for anyone to read, and even though it never had a true conclusion, I HIGHLY recommend it. Just mentioning it still gets me hyped.

Never seeing Truffula Flu get a real ending is the one regret I have about the fandom.

1. Radioactive - Imagine Dragons (this HUGELY POPULAR AMV. Consider it the trailer for Truffula Flu. This is basically the main theme.)

2. Dead Hearts - Stars (Also a really popular AMV)

3. Look Alive, Sunshine and Na Na Na - My Chemical Romance (Ah, yes. Swag and Rocky are here to hype up your apocalypse)

4. Bulletproof Heart - My Chemical Romance (Swag’s first season theme. Now that his original mod revealed what was gonna happen to him at the end of Truffula Flu I wanna die every time I hear this song)

5. Planetary GO! - My Chemical Romance (Swag and Rocky shenanigans)

6. Blood -  My Chemical Romance (Swag reveals he’s immune to the disease, or “bulletproof”)

7. Party Poison - My Chemical Romance (Swag and Rocky’s friendship theme)

8. Sleep - My Chemical Romance (The moment the fandom collectively had a meltdown that lasted for months. Where were you when Bitter died? rip buddy)

9. Mama - My Chemical Romance - (ENTRE FUCKING LOSES IT AFTER KILLING BITTER)

10. Save Yourself, I’ll Hold Them Back - My Chemical Romance (I think this is something to do with Broken!Swag???? But I could’ve imagined it. It’s also in his tags earlier in the story)

11. Vampire Money - My Chemical Romance (Swag and Rocky again. But Rocky got infected and was on his way out when the series ended and I always pictured him exiting to this song, like a final encore)

12. Goodnight, Dr. Death - My Chemical Romance (The last song I got for ya, folks. I put it on here since it was used here, but also because I thought it worked as a good fandom goodbye as well. It’s really open-ended, and I feel like that’s where the fandom remains. Hanging in a weird balance of not existing but still kinda existing. We went out in a quiet,modest fizzle. But lots of us remember. And a lot of us are still around. “So remember even if you're dusted You may be gone But out here in the desert Your shadow lives on without you.” That’s kinda how this feels. Like those memories are still living on without us.

But anyway. If you guys wanna read Truffula Flu, start here. The people in Camp Entre are as follows, with as many of the blogs that are still existing. You can also go to the wiki.

Entre

Swag

One

Rocky

Bitter

BP

72

Audrey

Ted

The Lorax

Prisma

Unfortunately, a lot of these blogs are deactivated and Rocky’s blog seems to have been hacked. Everything is gone and all that’s there is a single ad =(

And...that’s it. I’ve spent my time in nostalgia world, it’s time for me to return to reality. I hope everyone enjoys this, it was a lot of fun to make =) Stay stupid everyone <3

Space Jesus & Dirt Monkey – Sofa Surfin

This is new bass music that I’ve been drawn to recently. It’s not overwhelming, it’s fairly melodic and as some would describe, liquid sounding. There are two songs below, the first is the original Sofa Surfin by Space Jesus & Dirt Monkey, the second is a Sofa Surfin remix by Liquid Stranger.  The song was released off the WAKAAN label, which is run by Liquid Stranger. Click HERE to read the rBeatzRadio full Lost Lands review, where we took exclusive vids of Liquid Stranger tho unfortunately missed Space Jesus  (one of my bigger regrets).

As an aficionado of bass music, bass trap, trap, chillstep, riddim, drum n bass, and the godfather of all terminology, dubstep, I have been yearning for a new sound in the field. I found that sound at Lost Lands this year in Thornville, Ohio.  Both the songs below are meant for extra-terrestrial beings, from it’s obscure uniqueness from a sound perspective and familiarity in arrangement.

Jasha Tull aka Space Jesus is a Brooklyn, New York based electronic music producer. He was born and raised in New Jersey. He’s been crushing sub genres ever since his first EP release in 2010. Patrick Megeath aka Dirt Monkey grew up smashing the Denver, Colorado dubstep scene. Liquid Stranger is the epitome of International dubstep playing everything from Latin, Asian, Eastern European and Jamaican dancehall dubs. rBeatzRadio loves us that international appeal, exuding versatility in a sub genre of electronic music.

Put your space caps on for these two doozies below. Also, to pump WAKAAN even further, they recently released a GRiZ remix, pushing the boundaries of bass music past where we can conceive intelligible life might be. WAKAAN define themselves as “Freeform Electronic Music.”

There’s always an escape to the Caribbean circuit of festivals too - keep ya head spinning’ on this “3 Below”, just like the LOVE Turntable above, ever heard of it? The concept is cooler than DPs, who btw, are back together for a string of appearances. NY is Red Hot...but somethin’ tells me this is how New Jersey celebrates summer :)

Yes I went there, but here’s where U wanna be: Spread Love, it’s the Brooklyn Way...I already missed this, but Afropunk (Bk) is how we wanna end our summer, come Aug 26 n’ 27! Did I mention, Soul II Soul are headliners? Yep, sure are. I’m ghost...

BLENDID aka Wonderground Party are back in its original roots @Bed-Vyne Brew, in ‘do or die’ Bed-Stuy. Don’t worry, it’s REAL - SAFE. Yep that corner which usually turns into a neighborhood block party on weekends. This Fri, June 30, from 9p ‘til yaknowdadrill...

LA’s H’wood Carnival keeps gettin’ bigger n’ bigger each year, esp w/the popularity of LA itself, and the push by Machel Montano. On Sat, June 24 from 11a-4p, the big parade hits Hollywood Blvd, but it wouldn’t be a real carnival unless days before, there’s fete! fete! fete! GALORE...
