“What you know, you can't explain - but you feel it.

You've felt it your entire life. That there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there. Like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.”

The Matrix (1999)

I have this feeling that Kuroshitsuji is going to take a meta turn and introduce the historical Sébastien Michaëlis as the head of the demon hunters.

Please let me be wrong.

Whenever I hear news that a celebrity I like turns out to be a sex pest or a virulent bigot I always have a tiny thought at the back of my head, "I always knew it!" No, I didn't. Not really. There might have been a few things that gave me a weird feeling about them, but it's only ever in retrospect that I realize they were clues to their behavior. And maybe they weren't even clues, maybe they were just innocuous comments that anyone could have made and now that I know they're an asshole I'm looking at their old stuff with new eyes and finding reasons to not like them anymore. They weren't necessarily horrible all along, maybe I'm just trying to distance myself retroactively. I highly doubt that every weird feeling I get about a celebrity will turn out to be justified, but I'm on my toes now because I don't want to get caught off guard.

This is a roundabout way of saying that if Weird Al Yankovic turns out to be a monster, I've been having that weird feeling about him for a few years now. He's my all time favorite musician, I have more of his songs downloaded than any other artist, but I want to record this thought for posterity. I REALLY hope my weird feeling is unfounded, but I also don't want to be blindsided by some future revelation. "I always knew it." But did I? I don't think so. If I did I would stop listening to him now, before some hypothetical bombshell drops.

I'm sure he's an okay guy. The weird feeling comes mostly from his older songs, 80s, 90s, early 2000s, where he made lots of jokes at the expense of trans and intersex people. I don't think he's actually a bigot, I just think he didn't think about the implications of those jokes at the time. I said and believed much worse things when I was younger, things that do not reflect who I am anymore, so I'll give Weird Al the benefit of the doubt. Hell, I saw a video recently where he apologized for using the word hermaphrodite in his 1999 song Albuquerque, so the weird feeling I get is probably nothing.

This is not a prediction, this is more of a time capsule. Come back in 2030 and we'll see. The man's been famous since the 70s, if he had skeletons in his closet I'm sure SOMETHING would have come up by now.
