Shelly turned around, her face lighting up with a bright smile.

“Oh hi Dandy! What’s up?”

album review Avenged Sevenfold Life is But a Dream

Let me start off by saying I have loved this band since 2000. I'm a ride or die, and I will always love them. I have ink inspired by them, their songs shaped me, and a few of them saved me. That being said, I wasn't too much into The Stage. I bought it, and listened to it. When I found out that they were dropping another album my excitement dropped a little finding out it was another experimental/proggy album. This album is amazing. It is experimental/prog and needs more than just a surface listen. It is also a love letter to the Rev. Through and through, his touch is all over this album. And though he's been gone (don't worry he'll come back as the knife master)-- it shows how much these men loved him, and how much they still feel him in their music. Rather than leaning on the 80s influences as in Hail to The King-- LiBAD pulls from a wider variety of influences. There's Oingo Boingo, Pig, KMFDM, Rammstein, and Bowie. Touches of Pinkly Smooth can also be heard, as well as throwbacks to Sounding the Seventh Trumpet and Beast and the Harlot. It's loud, it's thrashy, messy, convoluted, over produced at times, it's weird. And at the same time so familiar and very much Avenged. The boys have evolved, and so has their music. Rating: 8.5/10 Favorite Tracks: Mattel, We Love You, Cosmic.

(she was invisible, ready to sneak up.)

"Heheheh..." (She was on the wall, and Shelly had not noticed yet. Oh boy, this was perfect.)

@connietheghostieeee

Shelly was currently engrossed in a dinosaur novel, with lots of pictures in it. She had no suspicion that anyone was there.

“Oooo the T-Rex looked so cool back then!”

I was so happy anytime your name flashed across my screen. A rush of adrenaline, dopamine, serotonin... intoxicating, addicting. Made me feel like things weren't so bad. That there was sunshine that peeked through the gray skies of the pnw.

The closest thing I ever felt to love.

And I was wrong. So very wrong.

Even a year later it still hurts. I'm ashamed, embarrassed and places I once called home feel foreign.

Something broke, and I don't think it will ever be fixed.

The ammonite smiled sweetly.

Listen, I keep thinking that Fem in a Black Leather Jacket by Pansy Division is a gentlebeard song and I need to share my thoughts.

Obviously, at first I thought it was about Ed from Stede's POV. Obviously, the Fem in a black leather jacket is Ed, right? I mean: "With his long, long hair and pouty lips, Cute little butt and sexy hips" Come on, you can't say I'm wrong.

But then I thought Ed's not fem so what happened? And I thought something like Ed is tired of this hypermasc bullshit he has to stick to for some reason (because he's famous for it or he's trans and felt like he had to perform masculinity to be taken seriously or whatever reason you choose) but he discovers this nice new little queer space and decides to try something new, no one seems to know/care who he is there so he allows himself to wear whatever he likes and be himself but he keeps the leather jacket, it makes him feels kinda safe. Enters Stede, who is either the owner of the place or just a regular there (because he just got divorced and finally accepted the fact that he's gay and wants to explore that part of his identity or just because Lucius drags him there) and yeah, the song is from Stede's POV. Or maybe one day he hears the song and thinks "oh wait" and has an epiphany.

But then I thought some more and what if the song is actually about Stede? Like I know the long hair part doesn't work and he's not the type to wear a leather jacket, right? But, bear with me, maybe he bought it on a whim one time after coming out and one day Lucius finds it and he insists he wears the jacket the next time they go out for drinks. Or just he meets Ed at the bar and he talks about being tired of his leather look, Stede talks about his love of clothes, his auxiliary wardrobe, Ed touches his cashmere scarf and Stede is weird and charming but also bitchy and Ed finally asks him "wanna do something weird?" and they end up swapping clothes. And yeah, Ed sees Stede in his clothes and the song is his POV.

Or, new scenario: Ed is in a band, he's Blackbeard, all leather, tough, some heavy rock or punk or even metal imagery, whatever you want. One night they play somewhere, and Lucius had dragged Stede there arguing that he needs to explore different queer spaces or idk, Pete works there, or he's friend with some members of the band. Here we come back to Stede finds himself in a leather jacket for some reason. The band plays and of course Stede is mesmerized by Ed and Ed notices Stede right away. It can be the same night, or another one later when they come back to play a gig, but they play Fem in a Black Leather Jacket, and Ed keeps staring at Stede. Lucius being Lucius he gets it immediately. It's so obvious, but Stede is so oblivious it's actually painful to watch. Bonus point, Izzy is the band manager and he's furious because this song is absolutely not on brand, Ed is Blackbeard, and Blackbeard doesn't play some Pansy Division, and he's fuming in the corner.

Anyway, I don't know where I'm going with this and it got way too long but there we are, my thoughts about Fem in a Black Leather Jacket and Ed and Stede. Make of it whatever you want.
