hello everyone...I'm sure it's extremely obvious to anyone with Twitter but Dallon's personal account, @/DallonWeekes, has been hacked and he has been attempting to get it back for like six hours at this point. He thankfully still has access to the band account @/idkhow

if that wasn't enough, somebody ALSO uploaded Happiest Nuclear Winter to Spotify. DO NOT STREAM THIS VERSION. Dallon and Breezy have been working on an actual legal version of release that makes sure royalties go to EVERYONE involved in making the album, because he made Violent Things as a solo act under the Brobecks name and HNW was made with the old full band before they broke up.

And, of course, because he knows full well what it's like to have royalties stolen from you. DO. NOT. STREAM. THIS. ALBUM.

And until we get confirmation from the BAND account, do NOT believe that anything coming from his personal account or the Brobecks Spotify is real and from Dallon. As far as we know, he still has access to both his band account on Twitter and to both of his Instagram accounts.

I recommend not interacting with this hacker in any way—do not encourage them, do not let them block you or reply or follow you or do anything that will further mess up Dallon's account and make it harder for him to sort things out when he is able to get it back.

The Dallon’s shorts in El Paso saga (8/16-8/17/22)

The last tweet was replying to an account that was suspended so I don’t know what he was replying to ):

[ID: A series of Tweets and replies.

1: Dallon Weekes (@DallonWeekes): Is it shameful to wear shorts on stage? And is this entire tour gonna be hot, or are one of these cities going to betray me come September? #WelcomeToHellvetica

2: Dallon Weekes (@DallonWeekes): I don't want to overheat, but I also don't want to offend anyone with these teardrop quads.

3: spooky scary s(kellie)ton (@takenbysleepers) Replying to @DallonWeekes: i feel like as a dad you get a pass to wear shorts to places most people would not wear shorts to. it's basically a dad rule Dallon Weekes (@DallonWeekes) Replying to @takenbysleepers: I like this

4: blair-oween (@stateofweekes) Quote-tweeting the first tweet with an attached image of a much younger Dallon Weekes wearing shorts: you can do it again bestie.

5: Dallon Weekes (@DallonWeekes) Quote-tweeting the previously described tweet: I remember this show! Brobecks/El Paso. The band before us (Some LA douches w more scarves than songs) wanted to switch spots w us & then proceeded to play a two hour set as if they were headlining the Hollywood Bowl or some shit. Two dozen people in the audience. Lol.

6: ✰✰— Fake Dee is spooky!! || TFO (@OKIMSINISTER) Replying to @DallonWeekes: Who wears scarves in California Dallon Weekes (@DallonWeekes) Replying to @OKIMSINISTER: It was in El Paso, but I imagine the scarves accompanied them everywhere.

7: Kelly☀ (@The2ndKelly) Replying to @DallonWeekes: Are you making fun of a band for putting on a good show regardless....and for not having many fans? Why? Dallon Weekes (@DallonWeekes) Replying to @The2ndKelly: Of course not. Asking another band to switch set times is a dick move. & the two hours they took (supposed to be 30 minutes) meant that our friends band only got to play two songs before the place closed. Nobody really had fans there, it was just a bar show in El Paso.

8: Dallon Weekes (@DallonWeekes) Replying to @limousineaux: I do! I was really sick w the flu & I was all sweaty & almost passed out a couple times. It was a showcase show for FBR. It went well, but my keyboardist insulted the wife of the label head & blew it for us. Found out yrs later when the same FBR head set me up to tour w Panic karla (@vicestrokes) Replying to @DallonWeekes: storytime maybe???? Dallon Weekes (@DallonWeekes) Replying to @vicestrokes: That's the story!

Dallon talking about neurotypical conversations from August 12, 2022

[ID: A series of tweets and replies from August 12, 2022.

1: Dallon Weekes (@DallonWeekes): Neurotypical conversations have always felt like a string of cliches & cyclical nonsense. Like it's all some kind of listless ritual devoid of any type of meaning, or relevant information. And everybody knows the ritual except me. But if you wanna talk about Klingons, I'm in!

2: Ghost-seph (@alonelylion) Replying to @DallonWeekes: Ever tried learning the language? (Klingon, not neurotypical) Dallon Weekes (@DallonWeekes) Replying to @alonelylion: I know a few words

3: danghoul (@destructioniqs) Replying to @DallonWeekes: its why ive never understood small talk. youre talking about weather but im the weird one for bringing up statistics of the coldest temperature it was in america at one point? Dallon Weekes (@DallonWeekes) Replying to @destructioniqs and @earthdenier: Small talk feels like an ice pick being pushed into your brain very slowly.

4: mavis ✰ saw mcr (@frogpogz) Replying to @DallonWeekes: there are too many RULES in nt convos. and then im the dumb / rude /etc one when i dont follow those rules. but i dont even know what half the rules are!!!! and the other half that i am aware of r just... unnecessary. Dallon Weekes (@DallonWeekes) Replying to @frogpogz: Yes! The rules! I've always had trouble with interrupting. People get so mad, and make you feel so small for doing it, when all you're really trying to do is participate! It's so awful.
