If I had a nickel for every time I loved a spooky Swedish metal/rock band that people seem to either love or hate, I’d only have two nickels, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?

Avatar makes me so happy like nothing else. Absolute legend of a band. Sickass sounds, distinct melodies, diverse subject matters, sophisticated lyrics, delicately balanced ratio of growls and beautiful clean vocals, unmatched manic energy at live shows, incredible showmanship, and perfect chemistry between all bandmates. No star ego, no dramas, no controversies, just fun, passion and good vibes all around.

God I love them silly boys so much. They have so much on and off stage content, and I have yet to see a single bad one.

Just realized I never shared my SG pic from the show I went to back in April. Woops.

I gave them these goofy ass sunglasses for this pic and I love how it turned out lmao.

OH and as a bonus after the show I MET JONAS!!!

Got to give bro a hug and everything (cuz I was too shy to ask during the SG kjgfdajhgfdakfdglksh). It was a fantastic evening, 10/10, can't wait to do it all over again.

you, artist online. somebody has referenced you in conversation irl by your online handle and somebody else knew who you were talking about. somebody has kept up closely with your posts for a period of time like their morning paper. somebody found a music artist because of you, thinks of you when they hear them on the radio. somebody followed you years ago and remembers you randomly even though they can't find you. somebody has screenshotted and saved your posts and sent them in discord servers. somebody has made your drawings their lockscreen, added them to their favorites folder and looked at them when they're going through some shit, has sent them to their best friend and sparked conversation in private chats. your art in particular could be the source of a keen sense of nostalgia for someone. maybe they've even printed out your images using their home printer and taped them to their bedroom wall and they look at it every day and they never even told you. isn't that scary? isn't that awesome? remember this well.

submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known so that you may turn around and see the impact you leave and the light you cast on others.

!!!IMPORTANT!!!

With AI slop accelerating the enshitification of everything on the internet, please remember to do your due diligence when it comes to sharing pics of the band and/or the bands history; because it has now been tainting this as well. Please watch this video and spread it around so that we, as a community, can help slow down the spread of misinformation and prevent confusion.

Jonas Jarlsby and Tim Öhrström | AVATAR

[lizardthemaggot]

Hmm y'all seemed to really enjoy my last drawing of the Friendly Shadow, so here, have another.

I really need to draw this guy more but GOD he is so hard to draw for literally no reason KGSFJHDS

[lizardthemaggot]

*drops this Angine de Poitrine fanart and runs*

Anyways y'all should listen to Angine de Poitrine if u haven't already they're peak. I recommend starting out by watching this live performance.

ong the Slipknot fandom is such a dumpsterfire I'm so done with ts

I swear 98% of the ppl u see in this fandom now are either a bunch of weirdly condescending Olds™ who've been fans of this band since like the 2000s and are trying so damn hard to cope with the fact that their lives peaked in high school, or its a bunch of kiddies who found this band thru TikTok and spend their time either writing rape/non-con fics abt them on AO3 or hypersexualizing them on here 24 fucking 7. Wtf happened to all the kinda nerdy/dorky queers that were into ts along with other nu metal bands? Like don't get me wrong back then there were always some occasional bad apples and a little bit of saltiness even when like the band would go on hiatus for a bit but I feel like it was *never* this bad. Nowadays its gotten to the point where calling myself a maggot is genuinely fucking embarrassing and I want almost nothing to do with this band anymore. Can't even listen to some of what were my favorite songs of all time from them without cringing.

[lizardthemaggot]

I think about this video at least once a day

[quetiapinemuncher]

tumblrs either filled with softcore porn or the most unfunniest posts to date

no fucking in between mind you

[lizardthemaggot]

So fucking tired of seeing posts on here like, "i think ur art is bad because you don't draw X" or, "imo ur not a good artist unless you start drawing Y" or, "you should stop drawing this and draw Z instead," like sybau. I draw for myself and what makes me happy, and if you think that makes my art "weird" or "bad" then that is literally not my fucking problem and I honestly could not care less. My art is not a fucking fast food restaurant where you can get whatever the hell you want, in fact y'all lucky I even decide to share my art on here at all lmao. So if you want more art of X or Y or Z or whatever then either draw it yourself or go bother someone else to draw it for you. Keep ur whiny ass away from me.

[lizardthemaggot]

Everyone: omg this new Tumblr update sux!!! I don't wan't ppl reblogging my posts so it becomes its own post!! It'll take away all of my hard-earned notes!!!

Me: Y'all are getting notes/reblogs on your posts?

[lizardthemaggot]

Tiiiiiiiiiim

yk considering my digital painting skills are dogshit this actually came out like...halfway decent-ish???

also shoutout to @quetiapinemuncher for recommending the brushes I used for this, they're actually pretty damn nice. A bit tricky to work with sometimes, mind you, but nice.
