Silence is screaming in my head,
Stuck on repeat;
Not much longer I'll be dead
So just forget me.
I'm losing my mind
And I don't think you could save me this time

CD02 - Does This Look Infected?
cw/ fake blood
Welcome to my own down and out.
This is a real special one. This is the one that started it all. The catalyst. Before this CD, I didn't really think it would be something that would bring me the joy that it does now.
Sum 41 is the band that got me back into music as a teenager (as a young teenager. I am now a less young person, still in the teens though.). Mother introduced me to them, as she did with the offspring and green day for example, and set the ground for me to discover more band to pour my love to. I still consider it my favourite, not necessarly because they're the one I listen to the most, but because of the memories associated with them, because they revived something in me I didn't know needed reviving. Needless to say that the fact they are separating feels very bittersweet to me.
This CD was bought while on holiday in Rome, I didn't have a proper CD player anywhere but in my brother's room, but I loved the object so much that I simply didn't care. I do now, I didn't before, I just liked the Object. But holy fucking shit was it a good feeling when I played it for the first time.
My favourite off of this one is probably Hooch. I do love me some Hooch. That outro is something so precious to me, and such a cool way to end the album as well! I listened to this song for the first time one or two years after discovering the band and I could not stop playing it, especially because of that damn chorus.
If I ever get the name of the Hyper-Insomnia-Para-Condriod song right without looking it up, you Know that something's up. Something's up. Up.
The album cover is simply iconic, as it should be for a record bringing us the cultural reset that was Still Waiting.
I do love when bands know how to vary their cover styles. I do love a bit of diversity. Hey. I do.
Definitely recommend giving the whole thing a listen if you're a bit of a heavy music fan, at least I do think it is considered heavy, I do not know how one decides in what genre a song or album falls. Overall, I guess it isn't really soft. Do with that what you will. Much love for this album. Mr. Amsterdam and Over My Head (Better Off Dead) are insane songs. Peace out.
Also, bestie. Yes. Yes it does look infected.

fauci saying “vulnerable people will fall by the wayside” and that some will die but that’s ok because we’re not going to see the “tsunami of cases” we’ve seen before is so dehumanising. so babies with no immune system, elderly people, disabled people, and people without adequate access to healthcare can all die of covid. but it’s ok guys because actually they’re just falling to the wayside and everyone else will go back to normal and be fine (sarcasm).
my death or the deaths of my family or friends wouldn’t be us “falling by the wayside”, it would be us being failed by our government, healthcare systems, and communities who have refused to take coronavirus seriously despite mounting anecdotal and scientific evidence of the harm this virus does. fact that people can accept the deaths of vulnerable groups just because they want to eat in a restaurant or don’t want to wear a mask is horrifying

been followin slimes POV of the qsmp since it started but mMY GOOOODDDDD i never expected to fall so in love with it...
I LOVE THE TRADGEDY OF A COMEDIC CHARACTER! so funny so silly, who could ever take him seriously? when the reaction to grief can be so overblown and strange, its hard not to laugh! because wheres the line, really? we're just here to have fun!
i look forward to the day this guy snaps! its gonna be REALLY FUNNY i tell ya hwat!!!
(CREDIT TO A COMIC I REFERENCED UNDER THE CUT)
something about this comic makes me so so emotional, and its so well framed. to discover something by the end of a comic, to follow the same line of thought as a character within a drawing, to either come to the same conclusion, or the dramatic irony of figuring it out first.
it was made by the talented Lynda Barry, and she has a wonderful shop here https://drawnandquarterly.com/books/greatest-marlys/

Don't look to me 'cause I don't believe in fame
I guess you never heard; I met our makers they don't even know your name, but if I had to say goodbye to leave this hell, I'd say my time has served me well

Since you said that Fantasy!Barnaby's tobacco smoke color changes depending on his moods, it reminds me of like those old cartoon smokes like what if Fantasy!Barnaby was with Howdy or thinking about Howdy, the smoke turned all pink and made heart smoke??? (My imagination is going wild jakzkdndn I love this AU)
im. gonna be so honest. thinking about it turning pink when he's around Howdy was what made me think "oh! mood ring smoke"
