My name is Noel, I love music, alternative fashion, old technology, and vampire media.

I make music too but I have the unfortunate combination of being a procrastinator and a perfectionist.

My favorite bands are Television, The Sisters of Mercy, and My Chemical Romance. I listen to a lot of new wave, gothic rock and specific types of gothic metal. I also listen to (mostly) 2000's pop and emo pop.

My other interests that I figure I'll end up posting about are in the tags.

Politically, I am on the far left, but I do not closely align myself with a specific system.

I hate AI.

I hate DNIs but this is the website with all the weirdos /neg so proshippers DNI

This is not my first rodeo. I have lost track of the Tumblr accounts I've had and deleted over the years. Will this one be any different? Who knows? Might as well follow and find out.

okay this is an insane poll but for context: as a lot of people know, in fashion and styling, different people have different complimentary palettes. some people look better in cool tones, some people look better in warm tones, some in bright colors, some in pastels, etc etc. however, this also applies to metals, specifically gold vs silver. so,

do you know whether you "should" be wearing either silver or gold

yes, i know which looks best, and i stick with this

yes, i know which looks best, and i don't care

no, i don't know

i very much want to clarify before people get mad at me: i am not saying this is a thing that matters genuinely literally at all ever. i just am curious if most people care or are even aware of this.

[the-seventh-stranger]

Silver accessories are "supposed to" look best on me and that is what I wear, but I wear them because I like them. I would still wear them if they weren't what supposedly looked best on me.

personally I am of the opinion that vegans who are like “the way our food system currently works under capitalism on a large scale is exceptionally cruel to all animals including humans and is not sustainable, so I’m doing what I can to make the most ethical choices available to me about what I eat and encourage others to do the same” are generally very reasonable people who I agree with in spades. but vegans who seem to think human beings are not themselves animals who are ultimately also part of the food chain but instead some kind of other paternalistic higher entity that can never engage in ethical and sustainable hunting practices (and especially the fringe I’ve seen who think other carnivorous animal predators are also evil and need to be eliminated) are people I regard as foolish at best if not actively anti-indigenous and racist

Its actually so much more personal and sexy for lestat to have 800 person venues than to be in a stadium like thank youuuuuu

HOLY FUCK BAUHAUS MENTIONED IN TVL

people love to pretend rap is THE misogyny genre and that for some mysterious reason, it’s the ONLY genre defined by its misogyny. and, in fact, it’s PRAXIS to hate rap and never listen to it. how very interesting! i wonder what that reason could be! can any of YOU imagine what that reason may be? 🤔

[the-seventh-stranger]

And people just ignore that a lot of rock is extremely misogynistic.

By the way, there are so many trans women who had Geocities sites. They just shared their life experiences. It's beautiful. They're on the restorativland geocities archive. Don't browse if you're under 18 though a lot of sites on there not just the trans ones won't be appropriate.

People try to act like this type of thing just didn't exist before the late 2010's but they've always been on the internet and before that they were everywhere else.

[donttellmeurlooking4andyandy]

What pisses me off is when "woke" people refuse to accept that they can do things or think things that are racist/queerphobic/misogynistic

This is VERY targeted - you& know who you& are(apologies if I used that incorrectly)

Listening to Nightwish albums is like. beautiful and musically complex music with impressive vocals and then there's a guy screaming about shit.

white people will literally be like if u arent nice to me Im going to become a nazi. and think they’re making a great argument

[uptownthots]

this stupid shit has been around for so long and it’s crazy to me there are still people with enough rocks in their brain to believe it. “Oughhhhh if you aren’t nice to you oppressors they’ll become bigots instead of allies” if someone’s support for marginalized groups hinges entirely on whether or not that group is niceys, they’re by definition not effective or useful allies and, by admission of this argument, an active danger to the communities theyre supposed to be allied with because they can Enter Bigot Mode the second they become displease

the issue with growing up in the 2000s and 2010s was like there was this really big push toward "accepting your weirdness" overall but they meant like idk wearing mismatched socks or something not being tangibly beyond the norm in any way shape or form

[riv3rboychaos]

oh yeah but sure its "not a way to force non-binary people into boxes" lmao these people keep on contradicting themselves it would be funny to watch if it wasnt so annoying

[closet-keys]

sometimes I hear people talk about the supposedly universal reality that everyone on social media is using it to showcase their best moments and engage in wealth signaling and competitive purchasing, and I have to be like oh, you’re on a different side of the internet than I am, on my side everyone is crowdfunding for survival, posting about disability flare ups, processing scary interactions with cops/psychiatrists/bosses and eroticizing suicidal ideation

[markovchaingang]

spotify was created so people would have a way to listen to problematic artists without having to worry about financially supporting them

"transmasc is regarded as the default trans gender" SHUT THE FUCK UP AT THIS POINT YOU'RE JUST ACTIVELY LYING

[crippled-peeper]

As a stealth trans man I wrote a script for a writing class about a trans man discovering his trans masculinity and the #1 criticism from quite literally EVERYONE who gave me feedback (around 10 people) was that it should’ve been about a trans woman because that would be “easier for the audience to understand.”

I could not say a thing. I still feel a bit insane about it

[the-seventh-stranger]

People just did not consider that trans men were a thing until like 2015, even since then, the associations with them are not positive and they are not thought about a lot.
