#fringetroll

being the greatest

being one of my oldest friends in this blue hell

being the cutest person that has ever walked this earth (you elven queen with a hobbit’s attitude)

being the metal queen

reaching her 18th birthday and looking more fabulous and happy than ever

IT WENT GREAT

(for the people who missed on it, I tattooed a person today)

So this is how my friend’s leg looks like from now on

like the shading will be made in two weeks and you can still see part of the stamp but all in all

I did not butcher him

all my starter wiggly lines were fixable and it got better after I stopped stressing about it

both the guy and my teacher and tattoo artist were super happy about it and told me I did great

it was super fun in general because it might have happened with a Blind Guardian soundtrack

All in all I’M SUPER PUMPED and I can’t WAIT to do this for a living properly

It’s morning and I feel a little better. I’ve got coffee in front of me and a cuddly dog dressed in a Christmas themed coat on my lap and I’ve got things to do today so I’ll be fine. I’m used to my dad’s side of the family being shitty at worst and vaguely disappointing at best so it really didn’t last long.

Ohhh yes you can form beautiful things like that, or like ‘jij godverdommese zijdelings overdwars over het paard getilde stoephoer, dat je maar de touw-tering krijgt en dat het gaat rafelen ook !” It’s almost poetic is it not ?

Well I ate pasta last week so that means fringetroll tagged me :)

but yeah, bands: (darn it I love all bands.)

Sabaton

Kamelot

Turisas

Finntroll

Sonata Arctica

My 3 fav Sabaton songs:

Union (Slopes of St. Benedict) (VICTORY SONG !!)

Screaming Eagles

Coat of Arms

My fav would be Pär since the guy always looks so happy and energetic and everytime he smiles puppies are born (not to mention 24 hour working days are just like holidays for him). I would ask them for a hug and spend the night partying with them.

My 3 fav Kamelot songs:

Hunter’s Season (so soft but so pwetty)

Center of the Universe

A Sailorman’s Hymn

I love all of them be it Thomas with his stage energy, or Sean with that goddamn happy face of him and jumping around, or the others, I love them. Roy Khan was such an underrated vocalist also, even though I like Tommy’s voice so much more. I wanna hug them next month ;_;

My 3 fav Turisas songs:

The March of the Varangian Guard

Take the Day (motivational song !!)

No Good Story Ever Started With Drinking Tea (drunk happy madness)

Mathias and Jussi. If there ever comes a war those two will stand on the frontline with booze in one hand, sword in the other, and cutting through enemies while shouting sassy comments to the other bandmembers. I would ask them to let me fight along.

My 3 fav Finntroll songs:

Skogsdotter

Vindfärd / Människopesten

Solsagan (because who doesn’t love a crying fag lying in a bunch of lettuce)

Oh I’m not too picky, Trollhorn because he’s an instrumental genius and he plays in Moonsorrow, Vreth because he’s a lovely dork and he’s a great stage-presence, Skrymer because he’s such a happy-go-lucky friendly fellow, Samu always looked so (as we say in Dutch) dry, and Virta because he looks extremely cuddly and is a master piano-man (if you check out his stuff outside Finntroll). I would gladly ask them to drink a beer with me.

My 3 fav Sonata songs:

Paid In Full

The End of this Chapter

The Wind Beneath my Wings (tears, always. beautiful cover.)

Wow what can I say, they were the very first real metal band I ever listened to. They all inspired me so much so I love them all, be it past or present members. Elias is a great guitar-player and to be honest he can do so much better than he shows in Sonata. I would ask them how they managed to still have so much youth and energy because I can’t think of a greater band to see on-stage, yes. Oh and Tony, why do you look like a 50 year old pompous rich hipster in that orchestra picture set ?
