okay so I have a LOTTTT of oc's im gonna focus on my most fleshed out ones bc thatll mean they get the most interesting answers! :3 okay? okay!

Laura (My main fursona, the dragon girl we all know and love): She is just me her music taste is wildly varied from oldies from the brass era of music to jazz to punk pop punk emo grunge heavy metal rap breakcore hyperpop and more! fave food is chicken cordon bleu just like me :) Fave Drink is EASY Dr. Pepper :3

Bailey (The OUPPY sona we all adore): again me but i definitely think that when im full puppy space i fucking go insane on hyperpop, breakcore, jungle, dnb, the loud music that tickles the brain good. Fave drink Cherry Coke/Cherry Pepsi :3 fave food is BURGERS

Tawni (my awesome diner owning cowgirl sona): Tawni is a tired woman who works hard she wants melodic calm tunes, she is the jazz girl, she is listening to long ambient tracks, she works her butt off she is a little sad little tired just let her vibe. Fave drink is huckleberry tea with wildflower honey and a shaving of orange peel :3 She loves mushrooms and her awesome hog wife Hollyhock (belongs to my wifey @vonkarn) finds em for her :3

Harper [Cheerio] (Da beawr sona): Cheerio loves to bake and I feel her music tastes are pretty laid back but she wouldnt hesitate to get silly with some fun punk tunes or silly music (like i bet she loves tom cardy/bdg esque stuff) fave food is pecan pie with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top (she deserves all the treats forever) and her fave drink is ice cold iced raspberry tea :3

Finch! (my jackalope): Finch is a dramatic ass tomboy femme punk bitch she wants to listen to those tunes that make you amped and ready to fight, she for sure shares like my heavy experimental tastes and listens to a lot of Hip Hop, Breakcore, experimental, noise, punk, riot grrl, etc she going wild. Fave food is fucked up but dude she loves a tasty fucking fried chicken drumstick man its simple but it goes hard. fave drink: chocolate milk (its cool and tough fucking fight mee)

hiii ♡✨ i’d very much would like to know more about you! like your favorite early 2000s bands, if you prefer coffee over tea, your ideal aspirations for how you see yourself in the future, just the little things that may seem insignificant yet are very enjoyable to share ♡✨ also I know it’s been awhile since I’ve sent you the last anon but I hope you have been doing well - ♡✨

ok ok i just wanna say you and this ask are sooo cute omg 🥺🥺🥺 im always open to answering anything else like this !!! and i hope you’ve also been doing well !!

✨favorite 2000s bands: probably early emo like my chemically romance, fall out boy, panic at the disco, paramore,,, etc. those are the bands that really set up my love for more alt / poppunk music. more of a gateway for me stubbling upon heavier bands too — avenged sevenfold, slipknot, etc into heavier thing [ie; metalcore, hardcore and deathcore music] !!

more on this; i circled thru many different “aesthetics “music wise. i’ve never quite gotten over my “emo phase” as the music and culture is such a big part of my upbringing / teen years. it’s much more easier to balance out the different genres i like, now — but metalcore always has a huge spot in my heart.

✨ tea or coffee: when i was working one of my first film jobs, all i really drank [besides water] was iced coffee. i was a set production assistant on days we filmed and just an assistant to the director on other days. usually on set, you’re either working early days or late nights and coffee is a must have. i prefer iced coffee or blended coffee drinks to hot coffee.

i don’t really drink coffee much anymore. i’m more of a tea person — always looking to try more tea!! i drink a lot of tea when i do tarot readings and my fav is chamomile w lime, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg and a little sugar. it sounds like a lot, but i love it!!!

✨future me: it’s so hard to see myself in the future when i didn’t know i’d be alive to see my high school graduation and now i’m halfway thru college basically. while i do want to shoot big - i’m taking baby steps, enjoying the scenery lol. i hope to have my own apartment in a year or two, hopefully. maybe even get my license since i’ve been holding off on that. hopefully working a film job — or doing anything with a camera ahaha

like i said baby steps. i’m open to whatever life brings me and wherever life takes me.

Hi. When I was maybe like 9 or 10 years old, me and my friends (yes I had friends) ran off and went on this huge adventure (we got lost) around our town. We came to this huge wall, that was scary to look at and had barbed wired fencing. I remember my friends were teasing me to climb it. I didn't want to but under the pressure of trying to be cool, I started to climb my way up. Half way up, I looked down and realised I was stuck. I couldn't move. My heart was pounding. My head was spinning. I was having a panic attack. I started to cry because I couldn't get down. I slipped and I fell which must of been 10 meters onto the ground. Luckily my little butt managed the fall and nothing was hurt! But ever since its annoyed me how I couldn't make the climb. How I was too scared to do the rest and be the coolest guy ever. Today I faced my nemesis and like the big weirdo I am, I climbed the wall while people walking passed watched in absolute confusion 😂I defeated 14 years of torment! Chris 1 - Big Scary Wall 0. My point is, you can accomplish anything in life. Even if it's the stupidest thing or the scariest thing. So never give up. Lots of love 🖤🍕 => #art #artist #artwork #Boy #Creative #Emo #Inspiration #Love #Life #Music #Musician #My #PopPunk #Punk #Pretty #Cute #Geek #Singer #Beautiful #Loser #amazing #sky #photography #photooftheday #nature #cool #style #nerd #me

probably the funniest thing from my emo phase was how much i wanted to go to new jersey as an aussie all bc (a.) my chemical romance is from there and (b.) mayday parade kind of romanticised it in their breakup song titled "jersey".

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

just remembered another one of my cringiest emo kid memories from like 2010 or 2011 at catholic school.... from when Rich Boy™️ started to yell my name at me to get my attention, and I couldn't tell whether he was flirting with me or not at the time (or even still to this day tbh).....

so some days when he'd do the whole yelling my name thing during homeroom lineup, I'd PURPOSELY time through my headphones the all time low song shameless- MOST SPECIFICALLY the lyric: "her high tops and her favourite song, she's showing off the way she walks, it's on!" or "you act like you're famous, you're shameless" to be all edgy.... to drown out and ignore Rich Boy on purpose, so he had to keep yelling at me over my music.... bc I always had it up at like 70% through my headphones. it was obvs to act all "deep" and like "ice queen" him out bc I'd watched angus, thongs, and perfect snogging a little too often back then lmao.

but good lord. how cringy.

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

happy story of a downfall: that debatably emo band guy that exploded your ovaries in 2013 bc you thought he was so cute has now broken himself into pieces. the press says he broke up the band. but really it was just him since 2016. yeah I know. I didn't shut the goddamned door or turn off the lights. that's why he broke up the band. to gladly trade mistakes with poise and rationality was my act to make crazy=genius to cipher off his moniker. the famed and disgraced moniker that got tainted with hunger for fame..... with high high hopes that turned into a low, low star-spangled banger.

but the great thing is that everyone is that the act of getting up at 9 in the afternoon with the eyes the size of the moon is finally done. when the day met the night, he took to the shadows and forfeited his supposed right to the emo trinity in the year 2013.

in 2023, the vices and virtues of the scene will dictate the new worthy holder of the trinity title that I see in my kaleidoscope eyes, with which I will kill tonight. this vision I see I will hold forever. who will it be??? to round out the prized trinity??? will it be a riot for paramore?? or a date with a pretty, handsome, awkward stranger for the used??? who knows. but mcr and fob will watch the cabal from the bleachers.

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

in honour of the rawring 20s, more cringy things from my emo/scene phase, a semi-masterpost:

•putting the you me at six lyric “whose keeping a score of who is a whore??? i know you don’t!” as my myspace header in japanese…… so the girls in my year at school that i thought were “whores”, and didn’t like them bc of that, wouldn’t pick up that that i was aiming it at them. like being a weeb and a scene kid douchebag???? they don’t mix lmao.

•screaming “IF YOU HAD A SEX LIFE, A SEX LIFE WOULD YOU EVEN WORRY ABOUT MINE WHEN YOUR BED IS EMPTY???? YOU’RE A WASTE OF TIME!!!!” from the song sex life by d.r.u.g.s (destroy rebuild until god shows) through the halls of catholic school in year 10/2011 to try to ~subtly~ and bitterly flirt with my crush lmao. like honey. chill the fuck out!!!! you’re 15!!!!! not many people have a sex life at 15 anyway lmao

•my uh. jeffree star music phase in 2007

•i’ve mentioned this before but wanting to score my entire year 10 drama shakespeare monologue with emo music and my teacher having to block the idea constantly bc “it’s good enough on its own! i swear to GOD!”

•taking a studded belt to school on the 31/10/2009 bc i had to get ready for amity affliction at my besties house that day after school so we could head up to sydney that night for the concert. saying shit about having a studded belt made me hardcore and wanting to punch people in the face with it bc it was some dumb reoccurring theme i had

•watching the music video for one love by aiden on my ipod nano at school and telling everyone about jeffree star’s i hate you ring in the video and how if i ever had it i’d punch all the people i hated in the face with it….. and then they’d be branded for life with the fact that i hated them?????? like bro. i KNOW you are the embodiment of angsty harry potter from HP puppet pals. but literally!!!! calm the fuck down!!!!!!

•i’ve talked about it before, but breaking up with clear braces boy and immediately demanding him to “hurry up and listen to a day to remember bc they’re fucking amazing!!! and you know i’m motherfucking right!!!!”

•taking 3 hours to straighten my hair just to go swimming….. then like someone pushing me in a pool or the surf (if we’d gone to the beach) and RUINING MY PERFECTLY STRAIGHTENED HAIR AND MY AESTHETIC!!!! HOW DARE YOU????!!! you KNEW you were going swimming girl. why the fuck did you bother to straighten your hair anyway, lmao???

•the whole cringy thing of me wanting to work in the CD shop sanity just so i could play a bunch of emo music and have some cute heavily tattooed emo boy/guy in his skinny jeans, slouchy beanie/now gross beanie hat type thing and band shirt come in and mysteriously fall in love with me….. and then kiss me to “kill me in a record shop” by boys like girls… or like alternatively i’d be making out with my hot older emo coworker in the back to the same song or some other horny emo song anthem/s 😂😂 same went for JB hifi when they came along and started stocking all time low and cute is what we aim for cd’s 😂😂😂 the hot emo bro would also teach me to skate as a bonus hobby outside of work. like KILL ME NOW!!!!

• alternatively to the above, i’d just magically have a hot emo boy boyfriend who was preferably the singer in the band…. but also could play guitar and could hardcore scream really well….. when like the bulk of those dudes were literally in their 20s 😂😅. on this point, teen emo me believing that her liking 20something emo dudes who were covered in tats and piercings and wrote ~hella deep~ lyrics etc etc just apparently made her more mature than the girls in her year at catholic school who liked justin bieber or one direction (who were literally the same age as us lol). like girl no. if those older dudes hit on you, IT’S A RED FLAG!!!! FUCKING RUN!!!!

•wanting to take my edgy pop punk road trip to a town 8 hours north from where i am as soon i got my licence and stuff… also the whole moody thing about ~crashing my car just to feel again~ theme i had going on 2011/year 10 in my teen mental breakdown phase in regards to getting my licence bc i was so desperate to do something ~reckless~

•basically a good bulk of my high school statuses tbh

•me taking in the same 3 pics of the same 3 scene queens and hayley williams (and cassidy pope, once) into my hair dresser EVERY 8 WEEKS to get my hair cut just like them 😂😂 i even updated my facebook status in year 9/2010 once with “got hayley williams hair cut today :D :D!!!!” i swear to god my hairdresser got so sick of me taking those pics in lmao 😂😅

•stage diving at a local amity affliction show in 2010/year 9 and going straight to the fucking floor bc i accidentally jumped into a hole in the crowd…. but i suppose it’s bc i was the biggest wanker at the show bc….. before we went in, i was bragging hella loud about how “hardcore” i apparently was 😂😂

•using my hot topic dress in my year 10 drama monologue bc i thought its steampunk style was elizabethan enough when paired with my black marching band style jacket (that i used to imitate black parade era mcr) and a pocket watch that was a tiny moveable robot. and also my trusty red flanno shirt from jay jays

•wanting entire clothing lines from certain band members from certain labels. and most especially booty shorts with the persons name (most frequently a dude) plastered across my ass 😂😅

•wanting the entire mid2000s line of drop dead merch. also bbycks (baby cakes) and zumiez etc etc. also glamor kills.

•desperately wanting my bra to be on a mic stand of a certain band dudes mics (just why lmao)… or on certain band members mics lmao (also just why)

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

me in 2008 12/13: folie a deux fuckin sucks. fob fucking sold out and i hate them for it

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

BUT IM SMILING AT EVERYTHING!!!!! THERAPY YOU WERE NEVER A FRIEND TO ME!!!! YOU CAN CHOKE ON YOUR MISERY!!!! i'll never need therapy. fuck therapists anyway.

me, now turning 26 this year, listening to "therapy" by all time low, and actually going to therapy: *singing at the top of my lungs in my room at like 1am* GIVE ME THERAPY IM A WALKING TRAVESTY!!! BUT IM SMILING AT EVERYTHING!!!!! THERAPY YOU WERE NEVER A FRIEND TO ME!!!! YOU CAN CHOKE ON YOUR MISERY!!!! therapy actually helps a bit, y’know??? i gotta sort my shit out lmao. like yeah obvs i haven’t gone to loads of sessions.... but like.... it does help???

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

okay not to be my emo kid/scene kid self on main rn, but i think “safe” on all time low’s new album is gonna be my new “stay awake (dreams only last for a night)”  bc of its chorus. also it makes me feel like i need to do that pop punk road trip that my bitter 16yo self was so desperate to do to escape her deadend town lmao

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

if she’s your girl, why is she counting me in?

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

i think all of us late mid2000s emo/scene etc kids have been depressed ever since we first heard “if it means a lot to you” by a day to remember in 2009

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

proof for aussie emo/scene kids that the rawring 20s are in full swing:

also blunt magazine has come back too.

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

my dumb 15/16yo emo ass in year 10 drama, doing her shakespeare monologue and deciding on a soundtrack: hmmm, i wonder if i could use “do you want me (dead)?” by all time low as an intro song to the final part of my monologue where romeo finds juliet (or vice versa) dead after they had the poison??? i think mr D will agree with me that that’s a good song to use. yeah. he will. he’s chill and cool. 😎😎

my year 10 drama teacher: *shakes his head and visibly cringes when teenage me suggests the above* HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NO!!!!!!?????? THAT IS A BAD IDEA!!!!! YOU’LL REGRET IT WHEN YOU LOOK BACK IN A FEW YEARS TIME!!!! UNDERSTAND THAT IM HELPING YOU!!!!!! PLEASE!!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

my teenage emo ass: no i won’t! you don’t know me, sir.

my current 24yo ass waking up in a cold sweat after remembering this incident: my god, he was right. he was so right. that was a terrible idea. mr D saved my stupid emo ass 😂😂😂

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

i feel like the biggest fundamental mistake my dumb 12-14 year old emo self made in 2008 & 2009 was thinking that fall out boy’s album folie a deux sucked, aside from the song “i don’t care”.

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

being a girl in the 2000s and early-to-mid 2010s who was into the emo/pop-punk/alt rock/metal etc scene, meant that you wanted a singing voice like, but also not limited to, the following female vocalists (the years in brackets are when i wanted to sound like these vocalists, for example):

- amy lee (evanescence, 2003-2006)

- avril lavigne (2002, 2007, 2011)

- the veronicas (2005-2009)

- lacey strum (flyleaf, 2007, particularly her screaming)

- hayley williams (paramore, 2007-2013)

- maria brink (in this moment, 2009-2011)

- juliet sims (automatic loveletter, 2008-2011)

- cassadee pope (hey monday, 2009)

- sierra kay/sierra kusterbeck (versaemerge 2009-2012)

- lights (2011-2014, mostly in her acoustic tracks/live acoustics or when she featured in crucify me and don’t go by bmth)

- lynn gunn (pvris, 2016)

feel free to add more!
