Tumblr Is Sort Of My Teenage First Love.

Propagande Salieri :

qui n’a jamais rêvé de vouer ses nuits à l’Assassymphonie?

Il s'habille en noir et porte de l'eyeliner. Il a un couteau. Il est généralement poli, mais il nourrit des sentiments très vifs à l'égard de (la musique de) son rival. Par exemple il en chante dans cet clip vidéo, L'Assasymphonie :

Dans une autre chanson, il a des hallucinations sur le thème du BDSM bisexuel, à cause de (la musique de) son rival.

Propagande Gaston :

d'âge indéfini, éternel stagiaire et inventeur de génie, il est à la fois un loser et suffisament compétent pour capturer le coeur des utilisateurices de tumblr. en plus son pull trop court fait un peu comme un crop top jsp ce que vous voulez de plus.

Amoureux de la nature, des animaux aux cactus, mélomane qui a inventé son propre instrument, cuisinier au talents variés, travailleur qui fait respecter ses droits, chimiste révolutionnaire et inventeur incompris, et il est gentleman !

Gaston sait passer un bon moment avec sa petite amie, voyez donc son sourire :) Pensez donc, une relation où ils sont tous les deux heureux parce qu'il fait un scoubidou dans ses cheveux, si c'est pas beau ça (page complète ici sur @daily-gaston)

C’était un des persos préférés de Franquin car il se permettait tout le repos dont l’auteur ne pouvait même pas rêver. Il se positionne contre la guerre et les dictatures à de nombreuses reprises.

Il a un némésis qui est flic, il est antimilitariste, utilise l’écologie pour dire Fuck la Police en faisant pousser des lierres sur les parcmètres… Iconic.

De surcroît, il est loin d’appartenir au passé. Pour ses soixante-dix ans, il y a une année spécial Gaston dans le magazine Spirou (oui, oui, année ), et, cette année, il a eu droit à un nouvel album ( formidable, soit dit en passant).

En plus…. Regardez moi ce spécimen de personnage de bédés dans toute sa gloire! Ce nez, ces tifs ….

Sparks! Skunks commission I’ve gotten from @arealtrashact depicting Angst in my Pants.

Je me suis lancé.e. dans ce tournoi sur un coup de tête (et ça prend bien, y'a vraiment une demande, merci à tous de suggérer des chansons) et je dois prendre du recul, parce que ça pourrait vite devenir overwhelming. Donc vous inquiéter pas si vos asks ou submissions n'ont pas de réponses immédiates.

Dans la même veine, je me demande : je risque de faire des propagandes moi-même (j'ai après tout commencé le spreadsheet par mon top 3 des chansons françaises que je préfère, et deux d'entre elles sont pas ultra famous), jusque là tout va bien, mais surtout, je veux savoir :

Just like the anti-Vietnam War protest songs that we associate with the 1960s, or the early nihilism that spawned punk music in the 1970s. But he didn’t *sound* like a punk anarchist; he sounded like a country rock singer. When he released Born in the U.S.A. people completely misinterpreted (or possibly ignored) the lyrics in favor of the tone of the music.

Politicians used his music to promote their ‘Murica Yes! brand, and he had to literally explain that that was not what he was about. He’s over here asking when we’re going to have jobs and heathcare, not stanning the politicians who weren’t helping the people.

It was also kind of a big deal that he had an integrated band, because even as late as the 1980s music was still kind of segregated and MTV was straight up racist. They refused to play and promote black artists and then claimed that were no black artists in the first place. Michael Jackson’s record company had to threaten a boycott of their white artists to get MTV to play his Thriller video.

Plus, the first black/white interracial kiss on TV was in 1968 (OG Star Trek). Also it took us until the 70s to get sympathetic gay characters on screen, and the 90s to get gay characters to kiss onscreen. And all of those firsts were met with outrage.

So keep that in mind when you see Bruce Springsteen not just playing with an interracial band, but engaging in an interracial, gay kiss on stage repeatedly.

It was a story where… we remade the city. We remade the city, shaping it into the kind of place where our friendship and our love for one another wouldn’t have been such an exceptional thing. - Bruce Springsteen

It wasn’t about showmanship or rejecting bigots or anything it was just. Damn right that was one of the loves of his life and damn right he was going to kiss him onstage

It gets me a little that Bruce has had a divorce, that he’s been married twice, but he loved Clarence for the rest of Clarence’s life and will presumably love him the rest of his own

Clemons said in one interview. “Bruce and I looked at each other and didn’t say anything, we just knew. We knew we were the missing links in each other’s lives. He was what I’d been searching for.” In another version of the story, Clemons says “He looked at me, and I looked at him, and we fell in love.”

I’m having some emotions about it!

“He was elemental in my life,“ Springsteen adds, “and losing him was like losing the rain.”

Not just! I love you pure and deep and true but! I am going to love you like that in front of the whole damn world!

We have fewer narratives about taking risks and making statements for platonic love rather than romantic and supposedly it would be easier to downplay this onstage than romance and! They refused! They fucking refused! In front of hundreds of thousands of people, over the course of years! In the spotlight, in word and deed, I love you!

I mean, will you LOOK at this:

This was the pic chosen for the album cover from an extensive photoshoot, too. A few others:
