i just love a guy who has so much wrong with him

[2dou]

was listening to beloved vocaloid song loveit by pinocchio-p and went oh my god this is 001/003 eito. to me. nonsense ramble below the cut

i think what appeals to me about this is that once eito has his worldview challenged by the simple truth that humanity has betrayed the entire SDU and that the SDU is. you know. he clearly begins to restructure his perception and realizes that hes been working off of a literal glitch in his system and he just. he's so prideful and he still tries to be upfront and he's willing to gouge his eyes out as a show of sincerity i need to lie down he does it bc he loves takumi and he loves the SDU and he's so Lonely hes willing to make himself a weak rabbit for their acceptance i need to kill myself. CAN ANYONE HEAR ME.

do i even have to say anything about the rabbit looking at the moon part. I'm going to obv the moon=satellite=humanity which he's believed himself to be better than but humanity also=the SDU in that they're an extension of the good parts of humanity since they're still molded by the memories of the trc anyways the moon = the SDU and esp 003. he can't see himself in them but he looks up at them with admiration and regret in his heart and killing myself is back ON

when it’s time for your favorite character to show up

[Question: Uh, hi. Your live audience at the minute seems to be mostly women, maybe 70%, 80%. Do you think that makes a difference to, like, the vibe in the room? Does it make a difference to what you do and say on stage?]

Gerard: You know, I— Yeah, and it's— and you know, um, I've noticed more it's more so. It used to be a little bit more mixed with men and women, now it's largely a women-only audience. I had a talk with my therapist about this (audience laughs), and I said, I said, "What's that about?"

And, uh, no, it came up because I was working on a project and it involved, um, either a transgender character or two very strong female lead characters. And I— I had been talking about why, you know, why why do I write these kinds of characters? Why am I— why do I connect stronger with women?

And she was like, "That's just what your art does." Like, you're not— she basically explained to me, "You're not trying to do that. You're not sitting there going, 'How do you write for a woman audience?' You're just sitting there and doing what you do, and that's just who responds to it. You can't alter the course of that, and you can't think about anything— think about anything more than just doing it," you know? So there's— you know, there's some reason, and I don't question it. I just kind of make what I make, and it's— it's nice to, you know, be— that it's enjoyed by so many women… and really cool guys!

I wish insomnia at least gave you more usable hours in the day instead of just more hours where you are stupid

If you could ask one era gerard 3 questions which era and what questions

oooh. definitely this current era of gerard. i’m gonna do 3 questions that i know will be met with a blank stare (so i’ll never seriously ask them) and 3 that i would actually be really curious to know the answer to.

1) What are your pronouns? (met with a blank stare)

2) When can we expect new music? (met with a blank stare)

3) Hesitant Alien 2 and/or small show solo tour with ray toro? (met with a blank stare)

ok now the serious ones

1) Transformation (either external or internal) shows up as a huge part of basically everything you’ve ever released. What makes transformation so important in the music/ looks for each of your eras and how do you preserve authenticity and the core part of what makes MCR outside of its members?

2) Typography also is a huge part of MCRs brand and artistic identity (to the point that gerard even has his own favorite font). Where does typography fit into the artistic process, and how does it mesh with other aspects of the graphic design elements we’re seeing especially on this new tour? How is forming Keposhka different from the fonts developed for, say, the original black parade, and why do it to begin with?

3) I would just ask a super general question about how LLTBP was developed behind the scenes. Like what inspirations came from where, why was a B stage chosen in the set design, and what other interactive live performances did they draw from to make crowd interaction easier? Who had final cut on every decision/ how did bringing in other directors like Claire Vogel help sharpen your own direction?

oh wow 225 hours of hundred line. that's fucking insane (says guy whos played 90 hours and only gotten through like. 20 ish endings)

who cares if you don't fully "get" the weird postmodernist novel on your first read, or if the experimental arthouse film is opaque to you on your first viewing? you are not being graded. you are not being scored. there is value in the attempt. every time i've read House of Leaves or watched Blue Velvet, I've gotten something new from it. the idea that you might not "get" something and therefore shouldn't bother with it is so silly to me

[jakegyllenhaalscharacters]

👏👏👏

Art is subjective. I love rereading novels and rewatching films and finding different interpretations.

[dykepuffs]

Think of how many people, when asked to talk about their favourite piece of media, will say "Every time I revisit it I get something new out of it."

You can rebalance that equation to "Previous times that I read this, I didn't get everything out of it that could be got" and then follow the idea back to the source, which must be: "The first time I read this, I didn't get even half of it."

QED: Your favourite books are likely to be the ones where, on first reading, you felt like you had no idea what was going on.

how good are you at remembering people's names and faces?

good with both names and faces

good with faces, bad with names

good with names, bad with faces

bad at both names and faces

other (in the tags!)

Remaining time: 5 days 5 hours

like, if this person you've only met once before comes up and greets you, would you be able to quickly recognize them or would it be pretty difficult for you to recall who they are?

[u3pxx]

considering that being bad at both is currently at 2nd i feel less bad at being abysmal at remembering ASKSKS
