ur Trademark™ in general is of course Metal & Stilettos, and most recently Id say we're holding hands in the "work trying to kill me/make me want to kill people with hammers" vibes 🔨🤝🔨
I'm so glad to know my legacy is cute shoes and people screaming.
they're fun! i've been doing a full discography dive myself lately, but i've really enjoyed the wilted EP and cursed album if you wanna start with those!
and yes haha not the same genre as phorid but i like to think of the vibes being similar
Yeah, I'll check them out later this weekend.
Fun fact! When I was looking for vague inspo for Phorid band member interaction and bts and stuff, I pulled a lot from my favorite band Avatar and some of the bts they've posted. They're also wrong genre lmao.
I hope you don’t mind me asking, how’s popstar au pt.2 going? or the vegas short story?
I’ve just finished my reread !!
(Fic in Question)
Thank you!
Gonna be honest, basically all of the above are pretty slow going. I'm in a bit of a writer's funk in general right now unfortunately. I'm also working a little more on the prequel, so chances are that'll be done first. Either way, don't expect anything to be finished or posted until next year probably.

The band also kisses on stage to piss people off and the singer (Zelli) said he’s fooled around with their old drummer on Craig’s podcast so they’re soooo Phoridcore to me
Good for them!
I'm vaguely familiar with Paleface Swiss, though I can't say I've listened to them much. I'll have to check them out!

genuinely I'm so sick of people wanting all fiction to be ethical. can we all just get a little gross with it. the point of fiction is that it's not real. we can be unethical in fiction; same goes with being perverted with fiction, being unrealistic with fiction, and being grotesque with fiction. not all fiction has to be ethical, not every character has to be ethical, and that's okay. can we stop with the puritanism. be gross. be unrealistic. be whatever. if I don't like it it's not my business as long as we're all clear that its fictional.
via ered.bsky.social, the only kinds of unethical fiction:
people in the replies are going "what about books glorifying unethical things" and "what if it's propaganda" and you, my friends, are who this comic was made for
In every way this is set up to be a joke like any other short video, it even uses the trope of main character in a wig to represent their mom, but it isn't funny at all. It's just sweet and nice
