More yapping under the cut but yeah!! I don’t know any other TØP fans and I’d love to meet more!! I’d love to be moots <3 (please bmf please I have no one to be insane about this with)

asks are welcome and encouraged!!

ok so in all seriousness I just didn’t wanna clog my main account up with spam of my main interest (and also I feel cringe sometimes and don’t wanna be hardcore judged)

info that I feel inclined to give:

𖤓 I was a casual listener growing up b/c of my sister!

❂ I started really listening when Breach came out, but then I kinda just picked and chose (mostly from Breach, Clancy, and Blurryface)

𖤓 when Drag Path released I listened 154x in two days because my mental state was really shitty

❂ I only started truly considering myself a fan a few weeks ago and I truly believe it’s helping my mental health

𖤓 I got into the lore even MORE recently though, and I love it <3

꥟ here’s my main. if that matters to you: @ohmxbeliever

“talking just to breathe, and falling selfishly”

I’ll make this more detailed tomorrow but YAY it’s up

[b0unc3m4n]

I think my newest fic is almost done! I’ll try to post it tonight :3

[nikoisme]

not enough characters out there who have a skin picking disorder

[grabmy-bat]

nothings funny to me

[cowboyjoshdun]

to fucking sombr?

[willbeundone]

genuinely have to laugh at people who think the 'my taste in music is your face' line in tear in my heart is dumb like okay sorryyyyy you dont have the romantics spirit. true loverboys among us know that being obsessed w someone makes you say and do stupid things until the person you love only exists in your brain as a kind of pulsing light that warps everything you touch until the whole world tastes like heaven and smells like honey

[kuemori]

give me some ADVICE😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 i am wasting all this TIMEEE😢😢😢😢😢😢

[b0unc3m4n]

just saw a clip about Tyler talking about oldies station and he said “I think you guys were owed” and I burst into tears and shut off YouTube I fucking hate this band

[in-a-trench]

she drag on my path till i breach

[b0unc3m4n]

trying torchbearer POV for once, let’s see if this goes well

[b0unc3m4n]

hi, hello, salutations!

i am out of the evil(was not doing well for a week or two there hah)

but yay im doing better :D

how are you doing? i havent talked with ya in a second

ALSO THANK YOU FR POSTING ABT THE AMAS PERFORMANCE I WOULDNT HAVE SEEN IT OTHERWISE!!

Also i know ur writing another fic right now so if you need a beta reader again im here :]

HIHIHI CLANKY!!!

I’m so glad you’re doing better!! I haven’t been on here as much bc my mom’s been having me do shit more often.

I am…managing! Doing fine. Doing not great mentally sometimes but that’s okay!!

The fics are in the works, but they’ve been put on pause, partially because I keep getting new ideas and making new WIPs and partially because I’ve been in such a weird headspace that even thinking about TØP and their music makes me want to sob. So. That’s a time.

I might take you up on the betaing again, though I might just panic submit these ones when they’re finished lmao . They probably won’t be super long though so I might add them to the doc when they’re done.

Thanks for checking in diva!! I’ll have to be on here more bc I love chatting :3

[i-know-it-is-hard-to-believe-me]

because they rearranged the song. they sat in a room together and came up with a version of the song in a key and a register that josh would be comfortable singing live. and then tyler adjusted his own volume so josh’s vocals would come through clearer. and then they asked each other can you save find me on live television while their childhood videos played in the background. because it’s Their Song.

[louieeeeeeeeee]

yes.

[poisonedprogress]

okay hear me out.

twenty one pilots have always used tempo changes methodically. ode to sleep, rawfear, guns for hands, overcompensate, next semester, they ALL slow down or speed up (or both) for a reason: to convey the fluctuation of energy. whether physical or emotional energy, it doesn't matter.

that's just a fact in music. a song at 80bpm will probably have a different feel than a song at 150bpm.

but what about when a song's tempo stays the same, and the time within the song changes? like drag path?

the original drag path from the breach digital remains has seventeen time signature changes (that i've identified without looking it up). SEVENTEEN.

the song begins in 4/4. almost every sixth measure from the start of the first verse until the first chorus, it switches from 4/4 to 2/4 for one measure and then back. 4/4 to 2/4 to 4/4 is two changes. that switch happens six times, so the count is already at twelve.

after the first chorus, it jumps into 6/8 (i'm pretty sure) for five measures before switching to 3/4 for "would you please hurry" with the word "would" as a pickup. it stays 3/4 for thirteen measures, then switches back to 4/4 for five measures, and THEN changes to 2/4 for one measure again. the rest of the song is in 4/4.

if you didn't understand, that's okay. the band kid in me is just geeking out. all you really need to know is there's seventeen fucking time signature changes in og drag path. the way you count the rhythm in the song changes seventeen times while the energy stays consistent.

but speaking of being a band kid, the first thing i was taught in band (besides how to play my instrument lol) is to always watch the conductor. ESPECIALLY when there are tempo or time signature changes because it's so SO incredibly easy to get lost if you're not paying attention.

so thinking about the song in terms of lore, would it be so far off to say that all the time signature changes in drag path is clancy "testing" torchbearer? seeing if he really WILL find him?

if those changes are metaphor'd into all the times clancy has been lost, or diverged from "the plan", or intentionally gone down an unexpected route just to see if torch follows, then josh's drums keeping up with every seamless change in the song proves that yes, torch WILL always follow. no matter how many times clancy "switches it up".

torch searches for clancy with the same steady determination no matter how many times he's thrown off. he will find him. because he always does.

tldr clancybearer is real and the complexity of how og drag path is played proves it. thank you for coming to my ted talk.
