#like i'm sorry!!!!! i love them so much but literally none of their albums sales have been organic lately

[ishikawayukis]

ur so right and u should say it tbh the more i see ppl getting hyped for this album the more im like. have we not been boycotting...???? ik not everyone was gonna do it but its depressing :(

they just reached 3m pre orders and carats on twt are like "that's karmateen for you" and just a bunch of bullshit, because i guess not letting svt "flop" is more important than literally anything else

I would love to send you links! (Apologies for the length of this ask btw. I get excited about music).

So this is actually one of my favorite sets of their's on youtube because the sound quality isn't ass and the first vid has a shot from the side so you can see Joe's hands

Unforch, they didn't film the whole set so The Ringleader is absent. Which is a bummer cause there's a part of the song that Joe always plays by jumping onto, and then steping on, his keyboard (and then he would fall over)

If you wanna get into TVF, I would recomend listening the second half of their first album first (which sounds weird but like, it's a concept piece that flows together)

Then here's the last song they ever released, it's not on Spotify and it's one of my faves

As for getting into AVE, I think it's worth giving their album listen through at least once. It's got some fun tracts. However, it's.... I mean Will, Mario, and Jon were 19, 18, and 17 respectively when it came out. It sounds very good considering, but they've all grown as musicians since then. (Also should be noted, none of them get money for any of the spotify streams or bandcamp sales)

hi oh my god i am so so sorry for taking forever to answer this. but i do have a fun little surprise for you!

yeah the venetia fair is one of my favourite bands ever now, and i have to attribute it to you. i probably would've listened to them eventually, but you gave me the push i needed to start. otherwise i would've ended up discovering them a year later, or even further on.

after i received this ask, i listened to ESDTWGIOB and got absolutely obsessed. i have never found an artist that speaks to me as truly has tvf does. i sat on that for a few months (very bad at getting into music).

a few weeks ago, i decided to finally listen to the circus, because with the way my tvf interest was headed, i could not put it off any longer. i put it on, got overwhelmed (as you do), and listened to the whole thing.

it's one of my favourite albums now. my favourite currently, for sure. i literally cannot go a day without listening to it.

so i have a loooooot to thank you for. thank you for the links, thank you for the recs, and thank you for helping me find one of my favourite bands!

oh fuck i gotta talk about death is the poor man's doctor HOLY SHITTTTTT you were right that song is INCREDIBLE. i am so pissed that it's not on spotify. it makes me wonder the direction tvf could've taken if they followed through with the genre that song promised. it's whatever!! im fine about it. what matters is that i love the song and it's so special to me.

also never apologise for the length of the ask! i know it took me so long to answer, but that's my personal brain block talking. i love music so much and i love when people talk about their passions.

one last thank you, and a plea for us to be friends; i don't have many (if any) friends into tvf and you seem like you know a lot and have been around for a while. mutuals? <3

thank you for everything!

p.s. maybe one day i'll get into AVE. i'm working my way up to it.

ohh nice!! enjoy sour sjdlkf!!

absolutely!! dreaming is amazing, but to have the power to mesh your dreams for the future with your actual future is so much better and a hundred times more fun, like you said!

i completely agree bestie, the future is so vague while the past is defined by your memories and emotions, and yes it might not have played out the way you wanted it to but it happened!

"and i think of school from back when i enjoyed it, and i think of friends from back when i didn’t constantly worry about having them." t h i s. it's just so relatable and a little sad, because it shouldn't have to live like this. these times, referred to in past tense because truthfully, school as a whole is not so fun and enjoyable. and the world seems so much larger, so much more open and ready to whisk your friends, your people away. quote from call down the hawk that i was reminded of (it doesn't have any real spoilers, idk if you've read it yet): "It was not that he thought Adam would replace him. It was just that now he saw precisely what Adam could replace him with."

top few from sour: hope ur ok, jealousy, jealousy, good 4 u. i love all of them though, 10/10 album. i do like thinking about my past, it's nice to see what stands out. i love the nostalgia, the memories and good times. i will say that i spend a lot of time thinking about things i could have done better, even if it is unecessarry and minor. probably too much time, tbh, but we don't have to dwell on that! gosh,, that's a tough question. i'd say back, because i could make more memories, and go back with the knowledge that it might not last forever. then again, i think that could definitely mess some things up, and i don't know if i'd be able to look back on that childish joy and those same good times, because they would feel,, faker? i'm not sure. slight possibility of creating an alternate timeline but oh well fjsdklfjklsdjf !!

using your time travel question, i hope you don't mind! past, future, or none? what's something that you've always wanted to do as a "teenager"? do you have a favorite quote from a book/tv show/movie? it doesn't have to be something huge or inspirational, but just something that you keep coming back to? ily :))

GOD THAT QUOTE IM- i haven't read cdth yet but i've seen that quote and OW. my heart. yeah. but no literally that's it!! because like. in the beginning when you're younger you're just vibing and you're friends with everyone. but then you get older adn people start getting standards, or you start thinking people have standards, and suddenly you're not good enough or they're too good for you or there's just so much better options than you. and yeah. it happens.

okay all of those are amazing you have great taste in songs!! lmao 10/10 album more like 11/11 (sorry. there are 11 songs on the album and i had to do it).

"i could make more memories, and go back with the knowledge that it might not last forever." okay so don't mind me having so many feelings over this idea. god. being able to go back in time and remember everything, savor everything because now you know it won't last. you know it'll be over before you know it. yeah. interesting point that they would feel faker!! i definitely see that, like i think that some of childhood is that it passes by in a haze and is over before you know what's happened; that you can't fully remember it and all you recall is the sound of your friends' laughter and the taste of cookies from the 3rd grade bake sale and the smell of the asphalt on the playground outside of school. so i guess what i'm trying to say is if you remembered anything more specific than that it would feel a little bit less real. pretty much like you said lmao. sorry it's getting late and i'm getting rambly.

oh gosh... i honestly don't think i'd travel in time at all. i'm absolutely terrified of making anything worse. like, as dissatisfied as i might be with my life and whatever regrets i might have, i know it could be infinitely worse and i don't want to live knowing i could've just done nothing instead of choosing to meddle with something that i should've left alone. something i've always wanted to do as a teenager is sneak out of my house. like, even if i didn't really go anywhere, even if it was just with a friend, i want the experience!! sounds fun. oooh, or i guess what we were talking about a couple asks ago, being in a diner with a bunch of friends!! that sounds fun.

hmmm... favorite quote... gosh i always lose my memory just as anyone asks me a question about this. uhhh. okay i can't remember anything so i just went through my notes app and i have this quote written down. it's from the haunting of bly manor and it's from a mother to a daughter: “i have no honeyed words to speak. it is fierce out there, but you are fiercer.” i don't know why, but i just vibe with it. it makes me real happy to hear every time. oh, or the very simple "why is straight the default?" from love simon.

oooh now i'm curious!! what's a quote that sticks out for you? also, if you could read anywhere, where would it be? you could choose an actual geographical location or just like a specific room or even just like "a reading nook" or "my bed" or something lmao. oooh, also! bookstores or libraries, and why?
