since you sent me a lovely ask for me i’ll send you one (it’s now 7:50 in the morning but i had to go to work so just pretend it’s still 5am): my manager is goated and shes also a former emo/skater kid so we have a lot of music in common, one time it was so dead in the store we just got out a bluetooth speaker and started playing a day to remember while cleaning. she’s also the funniest person ever when it comes to talking to me about kellin and some iconic things include:
when i flew to new mexico alone to see PTV and SWS, she was legit more worried about me than my own mother and made me share my location with her and text her when i got back to the hotel safe
sitting directly next to me while i was gathering pictures off of sws’ instagram and queuing them up to post while watching a tv show when it was super dead in the store
she made a “clean emo playlist” for us to play in the store together and i put the acoustic version of james dean and audrey hepburn on it and upon hearing it looks over at me and goes “apricot that has to be a girl”
another day i walk into work and she runs up to me excited and goes “apricot the hottest emo guy came in and was like “oh i love this song!!” (about jd&ah) and she knew it was sleeping with sirens but couldnt remember the song name so she was just like “omg yeah!!”
we had to go do a bank drop together and she played a buncha emo music in the car. we were rocking out to linkin park end evanescence and stuff it was awesome. she also has a son (he’s like 4) and he loves when she puts heavier music on and will headbang to it in his car seat
letting me go sit in the back during the premiere of the forever/always music video and when i was in the live chat i mentioned that she was letting me do that and SWS ACTUALLY RESPONDED with “Hi @[myyoutubeusername]’s manager - thanks for letting her watch our music video in a few minutes!”. when i met them i mentioned that and nick said she was awesome. so SWS themselves know that my manager is goated
when showing her that kellin cut his hair and she fucking goes “you really are right he looks like a hot lesbian. like a lesbian thats purposefully trying to look like a guy”
one time she looks over at me and goes “apricot you’re a lesbian right?” “yeah.” “…okay but would you fuck kellin quinn given the chance.” and both of us BUSTED out laughing and i was like like “IM ALLOWED MY ONE EXCEPTION” and she goes “you could easily just pretend”
Upon seeing my VIP photo with them she goes “He (kellin) really does look like the aunt that’s a lesbian but thinks no one know but like, everyone knows and just doesnt say anything.” prompting me to laugh so hard i had to go to the back room for a second
saying i looked more masc than kellin in the vip photo (thank u for the gender euphoria)
(in a mildly distressed tone) “Does he know??? like, does he know people think he’s a pretty girl?? does he know????” “he absolutely knows and uses it for evil. he’s literally said “if I look like a hot guy and a hot girl, then i win in both ways!”, his hubris knows no bounds.”
I put on SWS’ cover of iris by the goo goo dolls and she just goes “god he really is a prettyboy…”
anyways sorry for the weird formatting of the quotes it wouldn’t let me separate them while being indented for some reason 😭 i hope you enjoy my silly tales about my goated manager this got really long LOL
WAIT dream coworker actually holy shit oh my god LMAO… Indeed GOATED manager dream job over there because of that alone
The whole “girl” thing is really funny, I dunno funny story before I got into ETF, I was hanging out with an ex friends with benefits and oh my god that man (total asshole btw) fucking loved Max Green thought he was so hot and now yk realizing that twink ass bitch has my body type it all makes sense…But idk that friend was very like borderline chaser pilled and I wonder what Max Green had to do about it besides the fact I feel like he’s very transmasc pilled 😭 (YES I’m projecting that man is ME but less autistic and more sweetpilled)
Greatest gender euphoria though is really being compared to emo guys you like HAHA…I have a very distinct appearance (compared to emo guys cause I don’t often assault my hair with a hair straightener) so it doesn’t happen a lot but when it does it’s usually like Andy Biersack when he’s like a twink, and Max Green yayyy…!! Boys who look like girls but pass as boys who love boys ig
