#me and my trans girl drummer friend

[2amcheese]

You call a trans girl Princess once and she never gets over it

[riotsux]

I know it's scary sometimes being trans in this world so here are some wonderful stories from my life (preface: I grew up in a large metropolitan area and went to an arts conservatory for high-school that housed IB, naval and neighborhood schools in the same building):

- one time in the breakfast line I was talking to a cis male friend (former "no homo" and "faggot" as an insult dude) about why I wanted to take testosterone and I mentioned my voice and he said "you sound like a dude now, like a 13 year old but still a dude"

- I once won a hairy leg competition against cis men pre testosterone

- once upon a time I was in a band and after a gig this twink came up to me and said "you know, we need more queers in metal" (I was wearing a "faggot" tank top)

- when I started testosterone, I asked the only older trans person I knew at the time to come with (a key holder at my job), it brought along a few friends and between the 4 of us, we all had only two hair colors (neon red and lime green), the nurse helping us all with our paperwork was very confused

- that same day my insurance was acting up and my clinic waived my fees completely for my first year of testosterone

- a girl my sister met in outpatient wasn't doing to well and being the only other trans person they knew at the time, asked me to write the girl a letter, we met again years later, she's an incredible drummer, and after a gig, I was waiting with a pedal board outside the lead singers car and she's hanging out her friends window pointing at me and yelling "this mother fucker saved my life!"

- when my own mother was working at a methadone clinic, she met this older trans woman, hoping to give me some guiding light, she connected us, she kept an eye on me for years

- the day after I came out publicly, during my freshman year of high-school, my brother's friend's (upper classmen) all clapped for me when I came into the lunchroom

- my senior year I was barely in class but one day this girl I had known for years stops me to tell me I was on her "top 10 hottest guys in the school" list

- in high-school whenever a boy was being unhygienic in the group (typically someone's boyfriend) I would be used as an example for how he should be (ex. Putting on chapstick properly)

All I'm saying is there's kindness out there for us, amidst the violence there is so much love there, there's humor to be shared when others are comfortable with us.

I know I'm privileged to have grown up surrounded by queer people and to have been so accepted but

It's all here, I promise, and I promise you can find it

If you can't find it at the moment, make it

AFTER 3 FUCKING DAYS IN FINALLY DONE WITH MY REVAMP OF MY PJSK OCS 😭😭😭😭

Below the cut is just me yappin

Aoi is the lead vocalist and sometimes plays the keytar, Hiroshima (or just Hiro) is the bassist, Daisuke is the guitarist, and Atsushi is the drummer.

These guy's story mainly focuses on Aoi's extreme stage fright and her struggling with her confidence and identity. She uses her band, DARK/R3VIVAL, as a way to express herself while not showing people who she actually is. In DARK/R3VIVAL, everyone has an alter ego. Aoi plays a girl who's the complete opposite of her. Her alter ego is loud, confident, and vulgar, mirroring Aoi's true nature. Aoi uses this alter ego to hide her true self from her audience, as she thinks that they won't like her for who she really is.

With the other members, they have their own small stories as well. Hiro is struggling with the stigma against emo/people who wear alt fashion in Japan. Being seen as an outcast, Hiro accepts this and, as a result, never truly made any friends at school besides the members of his band. (even though he's known them for years)

Daisuke is a trans man, who just recently stopped going to Miyamasuzaka Girls' Academy. Still being seen as a freak to his peers, Daisuke has trouble finding friends, and mainly ends up latching onto the girls in Kamiyama High School due to him not fully understanding the difference between platonic and romantic affection (he's VERY much a hopeless romantic)

Atsushi has to deal with not being seen in his band. As the drummer, Atsushi feels like he's the least popular of his band and ,as a result, cuts ties with his band members for a little bit before reconciling with them.

As for relationships with the pjsk cast, these guys don't really interact with them very much. Aoi and Tsukasa know each other due to them dating in the past, but after Aoi ghosted Tsukasa, they haven't been on the best terms. But, Aoi still has quiet feelings for him. Shizuku is very attracted to Hiro, yet Hiro isn't very interested, seeing her as merely an acquaintance. Daisuke has.... so many crushes that he never does anything with, nor does he even talk to the majority of these girls. He has a crush on An, Kohane, Shiho, Saki, and literally everyone from MORE MORE JUMP!. Atsushi and Toya are somewhat good friends, as they're both similar personality-wise.

I might go into more detail about DARK/R3VIVAL's relationships with everyone in the future, but for now u guys are getting this 👍

When Gwen went to visit Miles,she thought to put on Hobie's sweater first and the patches on it are implied to be Gwen's,not Hobie's(he lets her personalize his clothes)

Miles accidentally forced Gwen to get a haircut and Gwen kept the sideshave as she grew out her hair and she also choose to dye it pink,the color Hobie turns when he's happiest around the people he loves the most,and he might've been the one who convinced her to get that color/style specificially

In the comics,Hobie was a Gwen Stacy fanboy and she's that cool slightly older girl it's easy for most boys to get a crush on.And in the movies,Gwen looks up to Hobie Brown and he's that cool slightly older boy it's easy for most girls to get a crush on

Gwen said 'Oh,you would love him!' about Hobie and 'That's different' in a noticably flustered tone when Miles compared their dynamic to his and Gwen's in response and Pavitr slyly commented Miles wouldn't know about Hobie twice and Hobie himself said 'Gwendy,how much have you told him?' with no actual clearups on what he meant and 'A couple dozen' when Miles asked how many missions they'd been on together and Gwen got flustered again and tried to deny the full extent of her closeness to Hobie.Hobie knew exactly what he was implying,both him and Miles,and he was bragging,not to make Miles jealous as confirmed by the crew wasn't his intent at all in the Gwen and Miles deal,but out of love for Gwen and pride over their relathionship status

'Self-Love',the 'Gwen love ballad',has the lyrics drink too much,think too much,thoughts drownin' me(havin' a laugh at a pub with the mandem),you don't know love you just show love stop doubtin' me(VERY indictive of what Hobie's attitude towards Gwen must've been like as their friendship started forming and no doubt Hobie has his own insecurities and trauma Gwen smothers him in adoration and care and respect to help him heal considering how unashamedly and openly she loves him to other people's faces and being 'starry-eyed' at him in a concept),cuff me told the truth to him he don't trust me(literally Hobie making reverse racism real on George's ass when he forced him to give Gwen the watch he made her and even to leave her his love note with it),hate to see yeah woah money scheme yeah woah(it's a metaphor for capitalism),live and questionable(i'm not a role model),love hangin' out say you hate it now(how tight Gwen and Hobie are away from prying eyes vs Gwen's denial denial denial over it to not be teased by her cheeky ahh friends)

A pastel punk trans girl vigilante Variant of thee character that's characterized by being fridged for a male superheroes development and a normie nerd girl back when they're alive that's doomed to the same fate almost every time,except when she's a Ghost,our Gwen,and an afropunk adultified troubled but good kid with a mantle that typically belongs to a white man he did his own cooler spin on Variant of an obscure supervillain.They weren't this important to eachother,much less love interests,in any other story before and they weren't sure how things went,even with themselves,but they were just happy to be with eachother because they need eachother and always rushed to be there first and always still do

Gwen is watercolors style and Hobie is a diy zine but they're both basically human mood rings.They both had a scene of being enraged at an authority figure they know is corrupted better than anyone else as they turned a deep blue and of teaching Miles to relax his hands to better use his powers too and he's gotta look out for his drummer,who doubles as his vocalist as seen in another concept because Spider(wo)man can do both and he hates labels but he loves Gwendy so maybe 'my girlfriend' can be something he wants to label her as and she steals his chucks and leaves her toothbrush and sweaters at his place(sleepy snuggling and nonsexual intimacy levels are high)and he's more her home than Spider Society ever was

In every other universe,Gwen Stacy falls for Spiderman.And since in every other universe it dosen't end well,Gwen couldn't let herself fall for Miles.But Hobie Brown's not Spiderman,he's SpiderPUNK so Gwen never resisted falling for him because she never thought to and couldn't hold back how much she loves and wants him so she fell harder and he fell just as hardcore and at the same time as her,no holding back or fallout.How deep their connection goes is up to them,not any Canon Events.Gwen choose Hobie over canon and he saved her before anyone else did.He may not believe in consistency but he believes in her and she knows he's a good guy even though he's not 'supposed' to be

TLDR: Monkey Man was so beautiful and so much more than meets the eye.

Spoilers below/me being mildly pretentious:

As someone who has not gone to the movies to see anything other than queer films lately, my girlfriend got us tickets to Monkey Man. She practices jujutsu and likes John Wick and thought this movie would be similar.

I am a huge Dev Patel fan, though, when I saw the trailer before a viewing of Love Lies Bleeding, I figured I might not actually end up seeing it. I didn��t think I was the target audience. I also don’t love action heavy, guns blasting movies in theaters themselves because it’s a bit sensory overload for me. I felt myself make a mental note to watch it on streaming and already forgetting to do so. Flash forward to me and my partner in the theater and I was in awe.

This movie is about a small village who is violently forced off their land so the elite can build a factory. Dev Patel’s character—Kid—is a child the day the village is expelled. He witnesses his mother’s murder and years later seeks revenge on the man who killed her. When he fails to enact his revenge, he finds himself in a city wide man hunt, ending with him falling into a river, drowning. But he is saved! By a small community of hijra—trans women—who live in a temple nearby.

Walking into this movie I didn’t expect social commentary or politics. I anticipated a Rocky type movie, contained to the story of one individual’s hero’s journey. (People keep mentioning John Wick as a comparison. I just mentioned it in this very post but I haven’t actually seen it for the record.) Monkey Man is specifically not about one individual or one individual’s revenge. This was my takeaway. The message we see over and over is that there are things in this life bigger than ourselves. It is literally impossible to save yourself by yourself—you need community.

I’ll take a step back now to acknowledge that I am not sure how familiar everyone is with current politics in India. I myself have limited insight but have friends who are personally affected by the current climate. There is a strong wave towards Hindu nationalism under PM Modi. It’s yet another instance of what feels like the whole world turning to fascism. The movie uses real clips from real instances of social clashes to paint the landscape of this fictional city. Also, I was reading into the backstory and potential censorship of this film and learned the villain’s colors were originally orange, not red. A clear parallel to the current Hindu nationalism at hand. There are clips of crowds attacking trans people. There are boos at the mention of Muslims and Christians. There are scapegoats in this film that are intentionally pulled from real life.

Now to jump back in—I have to say I was completely moved by the entire sequence at the temple. The temple is dedicated to Ardhanarishvara—a god who is part woman and part man. The hijra community has found a home here, albeit on the outskirts of society. The leader tells Kid, “no one will come looking for you here.” Their status in society protects him in a serendipitous way. They are also the ones that nourish him and help him train for his next mission. Not only that, but we see this community smile, laugh, flirt, and fight. I loved the scene with Kid and the drummer, with the girls cat calling him from afar (same). It was so tender to see trans joy, even in mundanity, amidst persecution.

When Kid has self-actualized and essentially is Hanuman, the part monkey God the movie is named after, he takes on the political elites. There is a moment he is surrounded by bodyguards in this hotel sequence. He’s outnumbered and out comes our hijra fam to the rescue. They take down these men. And it is so fucking amazing. I mean, really, it’s so fucking amazing to see them fight for themselves, for each other and be the hero.

To wrap up, I also wanted to touch on the fight sequences’ production. I mentioned I don’t really like fight scenes because I get sensory overload but the music in this film resolved this issue for me. It wasn’t pure screams or gunshots. There was a really fun soundtrack that added a great twist to the film. Kind of reminds me when they break out electric guitars in Chinese historical dramas. Just another thing about this movie that really worked. At least for me personally.

Last thought—my take away is not necessarily to say “put Dev Patel in everything” which is happening in the online discourse. (There’s a weird opposite-of-cancel-culture thing that happens sometimes where audiences obsess and then forget about actors or artists. Idk.) Rather: let this man do whatever he wants. Give him your funding, give him your resources! He should not have to kill himself to tell his stories!

*Sigh* my heart has been so full since watch this. A huge shout out to Dev and his team.

Bitches and Bros, Trans Thotties and None Binary Hoes! 🎸

Hobie shouted out loud, "Aye, Bitches and Bros, Trans Thotties and None Binary Hoes! We Spider-Slayers!" He did the horned sign with his hands before the crowd cheer for his band as the concert starts, every punker in London came to see him and his band. Pure Chaos, mash pits and loud screaming and shouting adoring him.

The loud burst of energy from the audience brought much pleasure, and aggressive joy. The crowd wanted more and more as the music roars into the city of London. Hobie sticks the middle finger at a photographer, then jumps into the crowd as they carried him around while he did his guitar solo.

After the concert, Hobie sat with a couple of women sitting against, their hands on his chest as they giggles at his jokes. He would flirt, putting his English charm making them blush, and flirtatious. Yes, this is the life of a famous punk band. "So I said no you dimwit, that's not a fucking spliff, that's Nettle tea leaves. Fucking wanker smoked tea." His low chuckle had this dark allure to it.

The two women giggles along the story. "Oh Hobie, you're such a funny bloke. Have you ever thought of being a comedian instead?" A female punker with pixie dye green tips hair, pierced nose ring and black lipstick asked.

"Me a comedian? Now, that's funny." Hobie chuckles, as the two laughs with amusement. They flirted, kissed with him, with each other. Hey, he ain't complaining, he's always willing to share and always willing to sleep with everyone and anyone. Sex is about the fun, the enjoyment. Pfft, who says it needs to be about love?

The twenty six year old pulled away from one of the girls, as his eyes open to find his drummer glaring at him. One hand on her hip, with an annoyed arched eyebrow. Hobie pulls away from one of the girl's lips just to say, "Gwendy! What's wrong, luv?"

"We need to talk about you sleeping with Pav! You know, he got a girlfriend!" She crosses her muscular fitted arms being upset, "He's our bass player! You know, Gayatri is our-" Hobie got up to calm her down, "Gwendy! Gwendy, darling! Relax, luv." He took her hand to pat, "Pav didn't tell you that I slept with him and his girlfriend!"

"You did not! Hobie that's fucking crazy." Gwen said with her blue eyes widen in shock, she pulled her hand away.

"Nothing wrong with consensual threesome, darling. Now, this anger I'm getting is uncalled for." He went back to sitting with his women.

"No, you know what you're doing is wrong. Pav is our friend! You had to play with his emotions like that- Why?" Gwen asked being extremely annoyed, this wasn't the first time he did this. "He's our bass player! It's bad enough our other guitarist left because you slept with his partner! We were lucky to get Margo!"

"Yeah. Yeah. Gwendy, luv. It's alright. Pav and Gayatri will get over it. I only helped Pav figure himself out." Hobie wave his hand away from Gwen, "Now, darling, would you be so kind and get daddy some beer?"

"Fuck you, Hobie. You're such a fucking ass sometimes! And no! I'm going to look for my friend, he finally got to see our band!" She shouted going into the crowd.

"Whatever." Hobie rolled his eyes as his drummer went into the crowd. The singer merely slept with the bass player and his girlfriend to ease their curiosity. Whatever, Pav had or thought should be forgotten, because this singer isn't about love. No love is foolish, filled with lies and rejection.

As the party went on, so did him enjoying his time with his ladies. Then at one glance his eyes caught someone wearing a bright yellow sweater with sunflowers designs, he did another take being surprised at someone's bold choice. After all this is the punk scene, everyone dressed in edgy dark clothing, yet this person wore something so bright. Granted there are certain people wearing bright clothing but this person just caught his eye.

Hobie leans forward spotting the young man; a black young man, with a densely coiled afro, he's tall, too. Not tall as him, but tall enough to be spotted in the crowd. The person wore his bright yellow sweater with some light blue washed ripped jeans, and Air Jordans 1 Retro High OG in red, black and white. The singer held his breath when the guy turns around revealing his face; a beautiful handsome face. It's like the sun kissed his cheeks causing them to glow, his eyes big a doe, and blushed plump lips look so kissable.

"Who is that?" He finally asked out loud being enchanted by this beauty, he reminds him of a Sunflower. When the young man frantically looks around, he went to his Smart phone trying to text someone. "What's this? Have he been stood up?" With a sly grin on his face, "Well, time to give the ole' Hobart Charm."

Without warning the singer got up leaving the two ladies behind him, "Hey! Where you going?" One of them asked being upset.

"Sorry, luvs. I have someone waiting for me. Maybe next time," He winks at them. He could hear them calling him an asshole for ditching them. It didn't bother him, they will come around.

The tall singer made his way through the crowd of people getting close to the mysterious Sunflower, he grabs two beers from the bar without considering who order them. Nah, Hobie takes and never pays like he needs to. As he got close to the young man, he could smell his soft cologne and mango shea butter, "Heh, cute." Hobie thought.

The young man stood, still looking head trying to spot his friend. Just then, his honey-brown eyes widen by a random beer appearing from his face, "Huh?" He glanced up following the mystery hand.

"Hello, luv. Care for a beer?" The singer from the band he saw is talking to him.

"I'm..." He awkwardly said, "Well-you see- um, Sure!" He gladly took the beer from the singer's hand, "Thanks. Your, Hobie, right?"

"Yes, it looks like my name precedes me." He grins widely showing off his charm.

The man with the doe eyes gleam by the singer's handsome small, in person he's a lot more cooler. He held the beer bottle in his hands, "You and your band were amazing!" His face turns brighter as he smiles wider.

Hobie stood looking at the fan's face, "Cute." He lick his top lip trying hard not to get flustered by this beautiful angel. "Thanks, darling." He leans over to closely use his charms on the stranger, the young male blushes so red that his cheeks turned warm, "Say what's your name?"

Good it's working. "My name is Miles! Miles Morales," Being extremely shy all of sudden, then awkwardly said, "You can just call me, Miles- I mean of course since that's my name, but- I don't really have any nicknames so yeah..."

"Sunflower."

"Huh?"

"If it's alright for me to call you, Sunflower?" Hobie calmly asked having to take a sip of his beer, "You remind me of a Sunflower, beautiful and bright." His eyes soften at Miles, with a sly grin.

Miles' could feel his face turning bright red like an anime character with small heated steam coming out his head. His eyes widen and quickly said, "Me beautiful? Nah, man. You're just saying that. Hahaha, but now that you mention it, sunflowers are my favorite flowers." He chuckles having this cute snort at the end.

If Hobie can turn pink, he would. He felt his face warm, surprising himself by these feelings. This was new to him, it's been a long time since he felt this way. The party around them were all avoided as they lock eyes being focus with each other.

"Oh yeah?" Hobie asked without thinking, it's like his body went on autopilot.

Miles nodded, "Yeah, I love them. They make me happy when I see them." He took a small sip of his beer, "I don't mind you calling me, Sunflower... but we just met?"

"No worries, Sunflower. I'm very friendly." He shrugs, "I'm sure we will get to know each other very well after this."

"Oh? Are you planning to make me one of your groupies?" Miles asked with his eyes fixed on Hobie's posture. "Because- mmm sorry, man. I'm more a romantic."

"Heh, wow you're a quick lad." Hobie let a small 'heh' before grinning wider, "I like that."

"Do you, Mr. Brown?" The young man rested his chin on his hand being amused. "I do like this. I think your an interesting guy."

"Really? I've been called many things but interesting."

"Oh please! You know you're cool and play sweet ass music. How they never told you, you're interesting?" Miles arched his eyebrow.

"Who's they?"

"They people, the paparazzis, anyone! Besides," The twenty five year old looks down at his beer with his honey-brown eyes, "I think your very inspirational, too."

"Now, that's a word they haven't used." Hobie said sounding a bit flabbergasted by the word choice. He's been called so many things because of his controversial beliefs and hectic performances. Hell, most of the time a riot will start, and to avoid fucking pigs he had his lawyers always ready with permits and waivers for their concerts. So that's a win. Yet the public eye view him to be some sort of terrorist or nuisance, it's all too funny really.

"Yeah, I think you're very inspirational. This world is full of bullshit, and you really given people to be more involved. I dunno how to explain it." Miles placed his index finger on his lush lips trying to find the right words, "For me, I like how you giving power to the people, a voice, their rights! We need that. I think you're a great role model for the younger generation." He smiles widely at him. "So yeah, you are inspirational!"

"Stop pulling my leg."

"No, I think you're amazing, man. I really do believe we need more people like you out here. You're making a different." Then Miles lift Hobie's face to meet his own, his honey-brown eyes serious and his voice stern, "Don't let anyone one say other wised! The media can suck ass, because they don't know what we go through. You get us, you're special! Don't ever forget that!"

Hobie could feel his body froze and turned pink, metaphorically speaking, his cheeks went into a darker shade, eyes widen as if he felt his a pang in his heart. His stomach fluttered with an uneasy swooshing feeling, he felt all words gone from his thoughts when he look at the shy man in front of him. "I love you." Were the words came right out of his mouth.

The two stood in shock hearing the party around them. Miles' blink a couple of times then shouted, "EHHHH?"

Hobie quickly cover his mouth, "What was that?" He mentally scream in his head. "Quickly. Say something else!" His mouth open trying to apologize instead his body had his own thoughts.

"I love you. I love you, Miles." His words kept coming out, "Be with me."

Miles rub his lips together never feeling so bashful before. When Hobie took his hand placing it on his chest, he could feel his heart pounding against his chest. "Sunflower..." His eyes soften with love.

"I-I..." The twenty five year old can't say anything else being wooed and flooded with panic. His emotions all over, how did this handsome singer loves him? He pulled his hand back to his chest feeling his own heart beating super fast.

Hobie was about to reach over to kiss him, until- "MILES! THERE YOU ARE!" They turned to hear a voice they know.

"Gwen!" Miles' face brightens to find his friend.

Gwen came from the crowd pulling Miles' into a hug, "Oh my gawd! It's so fucking good to see you!"

"How you been!" Miles hugs her back.

Hobie pouts seeing how he's being ignored. Not until, Gwen glanced over at him then scowls. "I see, you met Hobie. Word of advice Miles' stay away from him. He's not committed to honest relationships!" She closely wrapped her arms around her best friends shoulder around, the two being equally tall. The blond drummer scowls and pointed at Hobie with two fingers then back to her eyes a sign that means I'm-watching-you-buddy.

Miles could only giggle, "Huh? I kinda figure when I saw him making out with two girls... nothing wrong with that." He quickly added, "It's just... I'm a very basic person to date."

Hobie placed on hand in his leather pants' back pocket, "Heh, I'm open to all sorts of relationships, luv. Perhaps we can meet each other," He eyes at Gwen, "alone, for coffee."

Gwen puffs her cheeks getting mad that her friend is trying to get with her best friend. "No! Miles, you and I made plans!"

"Oh this cockblocker!" Hobie smile waved by his drummer attempts to have them separated.

"It's fine Gwen. You told me, I need to experience London... so maybe," Miles' eyes on Hobie's crotch to his face playing the shy act, "I like to try it all. How about tomorrow?"

"Perfect, darling. How about noon? I might have a terrible hang over." The singer jokes.

Gwen could only sigh, "Okay, Miles. But don't say I didn't warn you. I'm just protecting you for guys like him!" She's honest, and worrisome for her best friend, she knew Miles is too honest, and pure with relationships. Maybe that's why his last one didn't work out.

"I know, Gwen. I'll be fine." Miles cutely pouts. Then turns to Hobie, "By the way, that introduction speech was funny. Will that be made into a shirt?" He asked.

"Huh?" The singer looked confused.

Gwen crossed her arms, "He's talking about your Bitches and Bros!"

"Oh!" Hobie deep laughter got Miles' awning at his handsome face, "I was saying shit outta my ass, sunflower."

"No shit. Trans thotties?" Gwen snorted.

"Got a bit butt hurt, darling?" Hobie jokes with his drummer.

"No!"

"I thought you would be offended because you're not a thottie." Hobie shade her for her lack experiences.

"Ugh, you're such a dick, Hobie!" Gwen said out loud.

Miles laughs, "Awe, Gwen. I think your a Thottie."

"Thanks, Miles. See, a true friend. Fucking hurt him and I will fuck you up, Hobie!" Gwen puff her chest out having to threaten her singer.

"Gwen, be nice!" Miles whines.

Hobie could only laugh in amusement, "Darling, it's fine. I've dealt with her all the time."

"Hey!"

Miles could only laugh out loud while Hobie lovingly watches him.

[nenestansunsthings]

Hello mx sun. So basically the kiyoteru lore is kiyoteru's backstory.

He is a grade 3 math teacher, who is also in a rock band. To my knowledge, he is the only vocaloid who is canonically catholic. He was adopted by a priest, hiyama kiyoshi (named after his voice provider). He plays the melodica. He has never felt the touch of a woman. He is weak to peer pressure. He has a shoe size.

In grade 3, he met his life-long best friend, hiyama akito (different kanji for hiyama). Akito has a father, a mother, an older sister, and a younger brother (all of whom have names). His parents are green grocers.

In elementary, he befriended the school janitor, and was given the janitor's old guitar when he graduated. The janitor used to be a famous guitarist. In high school, akito and kiyoteru started their band, ice mountain, with akito on guitar and kiyoteru on vocals. In college, they (separately) met hokaze natsuki.

Natsuki is trans, constantly misgendered, and mad about it. He has a father, a mother, a grandmother, and an older sister (all of whom have names). I'm serious his whole backstory is that he's trans and developed anger issues because he kept being teased. Eventually he started baking.

Natsuki met akito when akito (thinking he was a girl) tried to ask him out, and got traumatized for it (gah dam natsuki what did you do). Natsuki met kiyoteru in class, and kiyoteru recruited him for the band. Natsuki was deeply charmed by this nerdy math boy and agreed, until he learned that akito was in the band. Akito peer pressured him into keeping his promise to kiyoteru, and that's how natsuki became ice mountain's drummer.

Then akito's father got sick, so he started running the family business, and there were no band adventures.

Eventually, akito figured out his new work-life balance, natsuki opened his bakery, kiyoteru started teaching, and they restarted the band. Kiyoteru brought in two of his coworkers, azuchi tohma on bass, and amane haruto on keyboard.

Tohma, I'm sad to say, seems to have a complex with his cousin, who inspired him to play bass. He is kiyoteru's work bestie, and teaches science. Lots of people think of him as an unhygienic slacker guy, but he's not really a slacker. But like, it's a white shirt don't tell me you expect it to stay clean forever. That's the guy he is.

He was a rebellious kid, but then his cousin inspired him to be better, and then she started teaching him to play bass. He became a teacher because she told him he'd make a good teacher, but on the day he started his job, she told him she was getting married, and then he stopped playing bass. Until kiyoteru came into his life.

And yes, his parents and cousin all have names.

Haruto is blond, and both his parents are japanese. They took DNA tests, and they are 100% his biological parents, which I 100% do not believe. He also has a grandfather and a little sister (all four have names. I cannot begin to emphasize the amount of detail that went into this).

Haruto is a child prodigy who studied in America, but he still ended up teaching music to elementary students. His family is really rich too. He has a crush on natsuki. He can "perceive a person's true nature," but was intrigued by kiyoteru because he wasn't able to perceive his true nature??????? So what the hell is going on with kiyoteru?????????? Haruto's sister tried to tell kiyoteru's fortune once, but then her face turned pale and she stopped??????????

So yeah that's the extent of the detail put into kiyoteru's characterization. They gave backstories to his bandmates. It's insane. I am writing this completely from memory, because I often find myself going to the ice mountain page on the vocaloid wiki, thinking "can my tiny headcanon get confirmed or denied by the ice mountain backstory?" and without fail, it can.

And like. What the hell is the deal with kiyoteru??????? What's up with haruto and haruto's sister????????? Why did kiyoteru need to be catholic???????????? (I know in my heart the answer to that last one. It was because he's gay)

JESUS FUCK???? HOLY SHIT???? HOLY FUCKING SHIT???? GOOD LORD KIYOTERU OH MY GOD???? HELLO????

ABSOLUTE FUCKING ROLLERCOASTER THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TELLING ME

I just got some very bad flashbacks. Earlier tonight I posted this:

at the time everything was fine but soon after a wave of dread came over me all the dread that I felt as a kid and young adult until I was in my early 30's. Because my life only started like 12 years ago.

Don't get me wrong, I have positive memories from childhood, but they are quickly replaced by so many that are bad that I don't want to think of them, but at the same time, I need them to convince myself that not everything was bad. It is hard to explain and I don't expect anyone to understand.

I was biologically born female, but I never felt entirely like one, all my interests were more likely towards boy stuff. Which was a big issue because at the time, boys and girls were more strictly separated. I was only allowed to play with boys when my brother was with me and he was already a prick when he was young. So I had often to play pretend to have friends at all. Especially since my life was very sealed-off from normal kids. (Kids from non-military personnel).

I was forced to wear dresses and little patent-leather shoes in the same color to my dresses (I still hate pastel pink). I hated it! I climbed trees with them so often until my mom gave up and dressed me in pants. I got all the new Barbie dolls from my mom which I either beheaded, or cut the hair off because I wanted to play with cars and Lego.

I had to wear my hair long, because girls do that, only boys do have short hair. My mom always escorted me to the hairdresser, that I couldn't tell them to cut my hair short, because she knew I would.

And there are so many more examples like this one that makes me hate my life.

When I was 19 I met my first love (I just left home and only left a note for my parents that I was going out) He was a drummer in a rockband. He was the one that showed me how to play the drums actually. I loved him, it took me too long to see that it wasn't the same on his part. He found it just cute how naive I was. Well I hope his balls still hurt from that hit he got.

The second relationship I had lasted 13 years, far too long I would say in hindsight. He was not abusive towards me in a physical way, but very manipulative so it took me 13 years and 3 mental breakdowns after leaving him to get a hang of myself again.

And for what? Just because I tried all those years to run away from my childhood, from those memories. From being called a female and trying to pushing me in that mold although I refused to fit in with all my might.

I'm next month 9 years in into my current relationship, I started to heal myself. Could breathe again and be myself. Only a year ago, I dared to tell friends that I felt like I'm non-binary, only 6 months ago I changed my pronouns on my socials, and only 2 months ago I told my partner because I was afraid to be cast aside. Which I know now was a fear that came from all what I have gone trough and not because my partner is an ignorant prick.

I thought often about a transition, but as of now I'm fine with just being able to be myself. Wearing the clothes I want, which are mostly hoodies and wide shirts. Although I'm more on the androgynous side, I cannot cover up my femaleness entirely because I was cursed with a big chest which no binder can make disappear.

Not long ago, Germany changed their laws towards trans/non binary citizens. I can now change my first name to something either neutral or to the other gender (which would be for me a male name), without any questions, which is actually great. A first step towards more acceptance for those of us that are different. So that we may not feel like that any longer and being allowed to be ourselves.

The punchline for this evening is: It is never too late to get your life back.

If you made it to this point, I'm sorry for the rant, but I feel somewhat better now. It seems I needed this.

[lavander-aavaros]

I went to the concert on March 8th. Firstly, it was awesome and a really nice feeling. I’ve been following these guys since Boom Boom Room side A. I had no idea how big the venue (tent) actually was until I looked online (holy fuck, and the fact that both bands stayed to meet fans after the concert. I know that Palaye used to do this 4 years ago, but I didn’t expect them to still do it when they have to be in a different country the next day)

There were a lot of technical difficulties. The equipment just did not work. The concert was supposed to start at 7pm, the opening band actually made it on stage past 8pm. (Starbenders I think? They were great!)

Someone behind me turned to their friend (who knew the band?) and said “I like the drummer (masculine)” (professions are usually gendered masculine in romanian and we don’t always switch to the feminine form just to be more specific.) “It’s a girl!” “I don’t care I still like the drummer! (masculine)”

Overall, they were super cool and I like their music ! I just wish we didn’t have to stand an hour for their microphones to work

Then Palaye came on. It took more time to get them set up, they started at around 9:30. Their microphones died in the middle of their set. They got it fixed eventually

At some point Sebastian got a trans flag on stage. I don’t know if a fan gave it to him or he brought it, but it was honestly super nice. People cheering when they saw the flag. Nice to know that people are making a change here. I mean, it is the capital, Bucharest tends to be a little more laid back when it comes to people Being Different and it’s where the pride parade happened in the last few years. But it was still very nice to see people cheering

After the show, only Sebastian showed up. Again, I wasn’t expecting that because holy fuck, there were a lot of people

But the crowd was,, not the best. I mean, it’s exactly what you’d expect from a romanian crowd, but it wasn’t fun seeing everyone bump into each other to gather around him when there was so much space left in the tent. I get it, everyone wanted their pictures, but the man didn’t even have space to take a step back

I wasn’t in a rush so I waited for things to clear up a bit and managed to get my hands on the palette! I looked like a clown the next morning when I tried it out, but that’s what I get for using dark blue as blush lol

I got my picture in the end because the person I was with usually takes pictures of everything, but he looked so tired that I felt bad lol. I mostly just wanted to say I hope they come to Romania again (cause last time I saw them in Munich and my back did not like the plane ride.)

[2amcheese]

friend would not stop trying to shut off my laptop today. I had to literally hold her off with a chain. Interesting experience.

[prettygirlgerard]

man Colorado is so weird. people have a lot of misconceptions about the south but me being trans was never an issue with my friends parents back there? my drummer just told me hey if you ever meet my parents they’re kind of weird about you yknow they were like is that a girl or a boy etc etc… my singers dad is transphobic too??? idk I’ve never had this problem before of actually needing to make an effort to be stealth

[born-to-lose]

What are your oc's for my friend! Where do they come from? What kind of universe do they live in? Who are they as people/creatures? Give me all the detailssss

They're a band called Devil's Bells and they play hard rock/heavy metal with a bit of glam! The singer is Liz Atomic (guess who's the main victim of my projecting who coincidentally shares my problems lmao), the bassist is Jack Daniels, the drummer is Phil Blaze and the guitarist is Antonio Diavolo. Oh and they're all bi and Jack is a trans man so cishet free zone

They come from all over Europe because the singer picked them up on a road trip after meeting them at concerts! Liz is from Germany, Jack is from England, Phil is from France and Antonio is from Italy

They basically live in the present day world but cooler

I don't have many details about all of them yet, but I'll give you what I have so far

Liz bought a ratty used van for her 20th birthday with the plan to travel across Europe for concerts for a few months. I imagine her singing voice sounding like a mix of Joan Jett and Lizzy DeVine. Among other issues, she has anxiety, depression and abandonment issues so she has occasional bad periods, but is usually the mom friend and irresponsible one in the group at the same time. She's (kinda casually) in a relationship with Jack and they also write most songs together with her writing the lyrics and him the melody.

Jack is 18 at the start and had just impulsively run away to France, then Belgium and then the Netherlands. He grew up in a small town near Derby, but never talks about his past to anyone but Liz. He's a chainsmoker and has a couple of mental illnesses he doesn't want to talk about, so he just isolates from time to time without anyone really knowing what's going on. He met Liz at a Crashdïet gig in Rotterdam, joined her on her Europe trip and after singing in the car, he proposed forming a band.

Phil is also 20 and grew up in Normandy. He had been playing in a few bands since he was in 8th grade and dropped out of college to focus on music. His previous band had just broken up shortly before he met Jack and Liz at a H.E.A.T concert in Paris. He also smokes, drinks a lot and has anger issues, which he usually deals with by practicing drums. He's the most popular with male groupies.

Antonio is 22, he's from Udine, Italy, but regularly goes to festivals in Slovenia like Metaldays, where he met the others. He's been playing the guitar since he was 7, had been in multiple bands and was a touring guitarist and co-songwriter (mostly guitar solos) for bands he was friends with. He's the only one out of them all who is not mentally ill and tries to help his bandmates whenever he can, but he's a reformed alcoholic and smokes. He gets all the groupies, girls and boys and everyone else.

“we need more women in music/more female fronted bands.”

this is another sentiment i see a lot, and it’s usually from the grunge camp. gonna tell you this right now, the only part of this i’m really hung up on is the “female fronted” part.

six words: The Great Gig in the Sky

Prince had a chick bass player and drummer; I think Lenny Kravitz does, too?

any of Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s women singers (Meeun Kim, too; that’s a lot of Kims)

and there’s also Malina Moye and Divinity Roxx (black women to boot)

(no, miley does NOT count and stfu about her already)

the ones with an asterisk are the ones who went the gwen stefani route and left their band mates behind for a pop career or they probably could have at any point and i’m genuinely surprised they haven’t. i’ll explain this, too.

now. the phrase “female fronted bands” and also “women in music” annoys me, someone who has difficulty in fully identifying as a woman because i feel i’m at the mercy of gender roles, and like i let this gender down with something like this. like i’m strictly forbidden to say something like this otherwise i’m a misogynist and i should be ostracized twice over. (i just don’t feel like i belong with women anyways, like i’m a complete phony and i’m not feminine enough to identify as a woman, but that’s beside the point)

but it's the same reason behind why my old friend lydia and i left s.w.e. when i was in stem school.

what's the matter, you think the girls can't be as good as the boys? or worse, you think they're better than the boys? the sentiment itself makes it sound like you deserve special treatment all because you’re a woman. it sounds separatist, like just because you’re a woman, you’re put in a league of your own, and it doesn’t sound fair to me. at all. and whether you like it or not, a few of these have taken it a bit too far at this point and let it go to their heads (looking at you, lzzy hale and taylor momsen). and when gwen came back to no doubt, their music suffered - my brother and his wife at the time saw them back in 2010 and they actually left about halfway through. her marriage to yeehaw doesn’t help matters, either.

point is, there’s been and are lots of women in rock music so there’s really no reason to say that. and just ‘cause you see a female face there doesn’t mean they’re to be put up on a pedestal like that. we’re as human as our male counterparts, you know. i hope.

[kartuve]

ur ocs(all of them) are so gender idk how to explain I love them so much pls tell me more about them!!!! :)

:)) <333ily tysm (the reason theyre gender is entirely because theyre made by trans people only god bless <3)

ill take this opportunity to talk abt one of the other bands then, They’re called The Thunderhearts :) if uve been around my blog for a while you may remember this drawing of them that i deleted hehehe im embarrassed of it 😳

On the bottom left we have Ronnie the violinist, he’s been studying to be classical violinist ever since he’s been little but because of unfortunate circumstances he never got the chance to put himself out there in that scene even tho he was :( rlly rlly good and motivated sooo he turned to rock music :) aaand he’s dating feril as well :) they have a really healthy relationship and they both think the world of each other<3

On his right we have Dominique the singer :) she went to music school with ronnie and learned flute and singing there hehe Her past was a bit complicated for her because she had to juggle being a good proper student and being a groupie :( when she eventually broke away from that part of her life she decided to start a band out of spite >:) good for her 

Over on the bottom right we have Richard the bass player, he’s awesome he’s trans and he’s very into witchcraft 😳when he was little he wanted to be a photographer but he ended up going in a different direction even tho he still loves photography and does it all the time. He’s very very good at collecting gossip but you dont have to worry because he wont spill anyone’s beans if they’re on his good side :)

Above him we have Genesis the drummer (yes she chose her name because of genesis the band lol), she’s also trans and awesome, she wanted to be a dancer when she was little but her parents wouldn’t let her take classes so she joined a marching band instead and learned some pretty cool drumming tricks there :) Her relationship with her parents is entirely in shambles butttt she has a very lovely and supportive grandma<333 

The last person is Jodie who’s mainly the keyboard player even though he’s pictured with a guitar hehehe, he went to a pretty elite music school which explains where he got his epic chops like wow he’s sooo skilled at music, he’s very good at writing songs and playing tons of different instruments :) He’s a bit of a tortured artist though, he struggles very severely with mental health and it’s pretty hard to get him to come out of his room most of the time :( it’s not all bad though, he’s got tons of little animals like spiders and snakes and rats that he keeps as pets and he’d give his life to keep them happy and healthy :)

Believe it or not that’s still not everyone from this band so im gonna have to keep going sorry hehehe 

This is Jimmy :) she plays lead guitar and we tried to make her as much of a manic pixie dream girl as possible sfdsfh She’s been best friends with Jodie for a while and she even convinced him to switch names with her 😳Dominique and her met while doing groupie stuff and Jimmy was very much a driving force in helping Dominique get the band going :) She’s got a bit of a tragic story because she ends up having to quit the band so she can recover from her numerous addictions :( but it’s ok she is forever loved and visited often and she has a lovely life

AAAND the last person is Roger hehe He was pretty close with Jimmy and Jodie when they were younger, they went to tons of music festivals together :) When Jimmy leaves the band Jodie invites him to play guitar instead but he becomes a bit powerhungry and starts taking control a bit too much :/ he ends up firing dominique and overworking everyone else and eventually his health betrays him and he has to leave :/

and that’s the basics dfsfsdjf
