#im a guitarist

[matchbet-allofthetime]

Okay so just wanna throw this out there

I need every sleep token member carnally

But right now, at this exact second?

IV is fucking me up

So many thoughts about him... Losing my shit. I need this 8-string bassbody playing sexy man with every fibre of my being rn

Biblical need, jesus

I've got hundreds of fic wips and I'm teetering the edge of becoming one of those fic writers (wink wonk) and have for a while- and I'm nearly about to topple over that edge solely because of sleep token (and ghost, I'll admit lmao)

IV has me in a headlock today and I'm struggling not to horny grip while I try to, yk, be a member of society on some innate level

NOTE: I know it isn't a fucking bass he plays, not technically. He plays that shit like a fucking bass (coming from a long-time bassist). Don't goddamn correct someone who is, irl, a bassist, please and thank you. I'm aware III is the bassist and IV is the guitarist.

[tojisun]

so like. guitarist!ghost (simon)?

thinking about you tying a ribbon around his fingers the first time and he’s kept the habit since whenever he records videos (to post or to send to you teehee) :<

thinking about simon making up a riff and naming it after you. it’s not posted and never developed past a little 23 second guitar solo, but he did send you a CD recording of it. (he’s embarrassed to play it in front of you, all shy because he thinks he’s acting like a teenager doused in love, but you’re alright with the fact that you won’t see him play it before you. because simon never needs to use his words to tell you how much he loves you, anyway)

…thinking about simon who teasingly tells you that there’s one more way he can make you feel good with his fingers !!!

s(creaming) im sorry

[deadeyedfae]

I'm doing this before i talk myself outta it

I make music sometimes

Here is a tiny cover of Look After You by The Fray that i recorded this morning becuase someone sent me it yesterday and it caught me off guard how much i love the song and the lyrics.

Fair warning, ive never deleted anything from my Youtube Channel, some of the stuff on there is pre transition me but meh, if anything it just shows my progress! Though do be wary of the absolute cringe that is the love songs i wrote for people over the years 😂😅💜

I've been rattling around my own version of pre/earlyklok so here's what I've got so far:

Pickles has been chewed up and spat out by the industry after SnB, in ruin after faulty contracts made when he was too young to know what he was getting into. He's also extremely burned by not getting the residuals that he should have when he fucking made SnB what it was, and he's a struggling addict.

I don't know yet what all Magnus' deal is, but he never even made it that far and time is not on his side as far as the industry is concerned. So you've got a has-been and a would-be rock star meeting through the guy who would be Dethklok's first manager who think that hey, they could get something going here.

So you've got two guitarists, and maybe at some local joint, they hear a cover band, and holy shit this kid's got pipes. They approach Nathan and everyone gets drinks and he shares that he's always wanted a band (and deep down he knows that he has to have it), so fuck it, they're gonna make a band. And William's there too, I guess, because he's Nathan's buddy somehow, and they don't wanna waste energy on finding a bassist.

So they've got the start of a good thing but it's not quite there yet. None of the drummers they try have the right sound so finally Pickles is just like "fuck it, I'll do it" because he's had to do Sammy's parts so many times already, and... oh, hey, why the fuck is he bothering with the guitar again? This is where he belongs.

So now they gotta find another guitarist, and finding Skwisgaar is akin to finding a temple to a forgotten god. It's a crime that someone so talented should be regulated to rhythm guitar, but Pickles' last bit of money is fueling this, and Magnus has to have his way, so that's just how it goes.

And turns out Magnus' manager buddy who manages Skwisgaar seems a hell of a lot more competent than their current guy, so they got a new manager now. And it's rough, but it works. For a while.

Pickles runs himself ragged after Magnus is kicked out because it's all on him, this is his last shot and they've gotta make this work. And they give this scrawny kid from Norway a chance and he has Skwisgaar's approval, and then... everything starts to fall together.

Their growing fans become fanatic. People flock to them for work that borders on servitude, and money starts flowing in, and maybe now Pickles can relax a bit. Sure, the drugs may still kill him, but things are better now. He doesn't have to fight and scrape for what's rightfully his. He actually owns Dethklok this time along with the others, and life is... as good as it's gonna get.

And during all this, Nathan grows more confident in seeing his dream come true. No one knows when the shift happens, but he stops playing mediator and starts demanding things go this way and that way. Because it's his band.

And Pickles just lets him take over because sure, it's actually their band, but he's tired, man. He's just so tired of having to do things himself.

The rise of Dethklok happens over the span of 10-12 years, anywhere from 1994 to 2006. Snakes 'N' Barrels only lasted about 4-5 years and Pickles spent a handful of years remaking himself between gigs. Nathan and Murderface graduated high school in the late 80s/early 90s, and Toki is in his late 20s by the time the show starts.
