#my 'friend' is also going thru a lot

barely talk about this stuff on here but honestly, teenagers shouldnt have to feel this way, teenagers shouldnt have to want to hurt themselves and be fucked up in the head. i barely talk about stuff like this on here because i dont like getting way too personal but i cant get this out of my head. teens shouldnt be cutting themselves even if its for 'attention'. teens shouldnt have to use the internet as their only safe space because they live in unsafe homes who lack love, its not my case, but it is still really allarming to see.

i shouldnt have to feel guilty because i like girls and women, my parents are accepting of my identity but i shouldnt have to make myself feel heard in every space i occupy because im queer and there are people who are gonna say homophobic shit around me that makes me feel so so hurt. NO ONE should have to feel this way, please stop pretending we live in a fun lovely world, it is not, it is cruel it crushs you, specially when youre apart of a marginalized group.

being queer should be something normal and lovely and joyful, but its hard to see it that way when you live in a country that wants your head on their plate.

would my life be easier if i lived in ignorance?? if i ignored who i am?? if i pretended i like men??? i dont think so but seeing all this hate makes me sick in my stomach. makes me want to hurt myself.

johto’s champion and chronicler for the deity of the ilex shrine, it’s lyra!🌿

this one took me a while due to trying out different techniques (studying a Lot of art nouveau) and making a couple changes to her outfit (the details help), but I’d like to think she’s learned a lot in her journey and wanted to reflect her experience more in her champion fit

her specialty would be in fairy types and her meganium’s divergent evolution is grass/fairy 🧚🪷

and a bonus w/ the johto gang after the photoshoot!

she is so done

my ultimate wish for this next era is they finally let Ryan go like they did Andy. I'm so sick of not getting the content we deserve. All the gatekeeping of tour diaries and now the crumbs of concert footage in that "documentary" yesterday. he was working for months on that? that's why we didn't get tour diaries? all that footage just goes in his vault now? Please.

Hello! I'm sorry to hear you felt disappointed by yesterday's special. However, I feel compelled to comment on a few objective points in your ask.

- "Live & Backstage in Amsterdam" was directed by James Tonkin, the same director (and production team, Hangman) they worked with on "The Feeling of Falling Upwards" (and the unreleased "Live in Brixton" special). Ryan was credited as director of the documentary footage and as a contributing editor (1 of 3) but the live footage and overall final program was not his work.

- Regardless of the particular creatives involved here (or in any given project for that matter), the fact remains that any directors, producers, photographers, etc are all hired hands operating with full input and specific direction from the band. The band chose to make this a hybrid concert film/documentary. The band chose to condense the setlist the way they did. The band chose this format over the traditional tour diaries. What happens to the unused footage will be determined by the band. Ryan is a friend but he is first and foremost an employee and the band owns that footage. (Likewise, the MYT diaries are not sitting on Andy Deluca's hard drive because he's "gatekeeping" or too lazy to edit it. If the band wanted them released, they'd be released.) All this to say, of course you don't have to agree with the decisions but it's important to clarify who your complaint is with.

- This concept of the band or their collaborators "gatekeeping" and fans not getting what we "deserve" is, to be blunt, entitled and immature. Being a fan does not make an artist indebted to you. They make music, if you feel so inclined, you listen. That's it. That's the extent of the contract. Anything beyond that is optional for both parties. Any content an artist chooses to release is not out of obligation or generosity, it's part business strategy, part artistic vision. Artists do not owe you anything. This band does not owe you anything.
