I did not forget that I was supposed to write some kind of concert report thingy @another-sun asked for, but I've just been so overwhelmed
anyway, here are some of the things I can remember from seeing Blind Channel's secret show with @thisisntaparty who I now own my life to 🖤
- the tickets stated that you are not allowed to camp out in front of Tavastia, so we were there maybe one hour before the doors were supposed to open and there was only ten or twelve people before us
- at the door they checked our ids and took signed NDAs that we wouldn't record during Flatline
- there were free water bottles and soda cans available, they also sold merch and I got the new Flatline shirt after the show, no other new merch items
- we just. walked. to the stage. no fence. nothing. like literally Olli's platform was maybe 20 cm in front of us (already started to lose our minds because they would be SO CLOSE to us) 😶😶
- Santeri came to stage and reminded us of the not filming part, and told us that the gig would last around 30 mins
- thisisntaparty was checking her phone and we were wondering if the show would start in half an hour and AT THE SAME MOMENT the intro started playing and Tommi stepped on stage, and then Aleksi and Joonas and Olli RIGHT IN FRONT OF US and then Niko & Joel and I just started screaming and screeching so hard I had to press both palms in front of my mouth to muffle it because it was just too much 😭😭
- they played Over My Dead Body, We Are No Saints, Balboa, Bad Idea, Flatline and Dark Side, in that order
- all of them wore the Flatline promo clothes which I loved because I'm so used to seeing them in same black stage clothes. special shout out Joonas's shiny overalls and Olli's boots ✨️
- I was headbanging ridiculously hard during the first two songs, OMDB still has that great EDM drop with all of them dancing and spinning around the stage and WANS is just SO good and epic live and I love it aaaarrrrrrrr 🖤🖤🖤
- at some point we were just grabbing each other for support because everything felt so overwhelming 🥹
- Olli & Joonas switched places more often than I think they usually do so we got great uhhh close-ups of them both
- almost got hit in the head multiple times by the bass neck because Olli still doesn't know how to handle his instrument responsibly 😅
- Balboa works live like a charm but of course we all knew that, and everyone around me was singing to Bad Idea from the bottom of their lungs, and I'm getting welled up right now because that song has meant SO MUCH to me and made me feel less alone during the last year and just hearing the crowd singing in unison there's darkness and it follows me --ok moving on before I'll start crying again
- I was asked to hide all spoilers and opinions about Flatline, so those are under the read more 👇
- Joel called Dark Side an "old classic" that they "have to play so they won't forget it" 🖤
- when the show was over Joel started giving fistbumps to the first row and at first he couldn't reach us because we were too far, but then he climbed on the platform and gave thisisntaparty a triplebump as if to apologise 😄 and I got one too 🥰 and Joonas gave us highfives as well and I still can't believe they are real people and I saw them up close and touched them and are we still sure that wasn't just a dream or some kind of croup hallucination 🥲
Disclaimer: I heard the live version, wasn't wearing any earplugs so the sound wasn't very clear, and I was also out of my mind 🥲
the beginning/intro is the English version of what Käärijä read from the card in his ig story. it's like an infomercial sales pitch: are you tired of ups and downs, do you feel like you can separate music from your thoughts? or something along those lines. my guess is that it won't be a part of the actual song, but rather a separate intro they are going to use in shows and eventually it will end up on the album, similarly to National Heroes/We Are No Saints. I like it, it's funny.
we've heard the chorus in the preview clips, and melodically it's the part I can remember. as in many other BC songs and especially singles, the chorus is the catchiest part and repeats three times growing bigger and getting more massive sound every time (think Dark Side, Bad Idea, Over My Dead Body, WANS, you get the idea). most of their songs use the same structure and why fix it if it ain't broken.
there are also three or four instrumental parts, one right at the beginning, when they do the stupid boyband dance move <3
Joel said on stage that he was very nervous before the song, and they've said that their music style is changing, but for me it didn't sound that different to their earlier stuff. compared to BB or VP LotSaD has much more variety and experimentation of different styles and sounds, even genres (like Don't Fix Me vs Autopsy or Bad Idea vs Glory For the Greedy), and in my opinion Flatline wouldn't have been the odd one out if it was on their fourth album.
it does sound bigger, heavier, more massive, yes, but otherwise it's a very standard BC single, compared to for example We Are No Saints which has the epic choir and guitar solo we don't have in ANY of their other songs. but of course I neither can remember everything that happened in the song nor did I hear all the nuances and instruments in the live performance, so take everything I say with a grain of salt.
I'm in love of the lyrics and the guitar riff and can't wait to hear to studio version on Friday 🖤

I don't love the song (not bad, just nothing special either really), but I love the direction it's taking them. it's definitely heavier than what I'm used to expecting from them, and if this is where the next album is going, I might just gain back some of the interest I've been losing over the past half a year.

So. From the preview I was expecting it to be nightclub-ish dance music. But there’s actually more metal elements in the song than i I expected? Like, Niko’s really screaming on those verses! 🖤

BATMAN AND ROBIN(2023) #7 SPOILERS
So many cute daminika moments in this issue😭♥️
Tumblr media
Damian immediately offers to help Nika find her sister, and she is so thrilled and hugs him. They are so adorable… and Nika literally doesn't care to hide her affection for Damian even though Bruce is standing in front of them😭
Tumblr media
This page is everything to me… Nika talked about her plans to slow down enjoy life and pick up painting or opera (new hc Nika likes to sing too). And saying Damian proved/taught her how to live (learn from the best).
And here are some of the panels I love!! They are so cute and prettyy I have no words ueueee😭😇💗🖤🤍♥️♥️

This issue is sooo gorgeous🩵♥️ I'm starting to warm up to Simone Di Meo's panel(flow) style now(Dc has credited the wrong artist on the cover😭), so many epic scenes!!! This time is a different colorist other than Simone but they need to stop coloring Damian and Ra's Al Ghul so paper white‼️💔

I'm convinced Bobby Nash has to die. Now hear me out!! Cause I don't think he has to stay dead. In fact, it fits better if he doesn't. Here's the thing: Bobby believes he should have died in the fire that killed his family and all those people. It really seems there is absolutely no way for him to feel any closure on that, except, maybe, dying in/as a result of/in the vicinity of a fire after saving his family, aka Athena. A fire that burned down his now-family's home.
In Bobby Begins Again, Bobby is told You want to be punished? Your punishment is that you lived. Now make it worth a damn. And all this 'putting his affairs in order' stuff is kind of him double-checking that he really did make it worth a damn. For other people. Not for himself. He still doesn't believe he deserves any sort of happy ending. So, him dying and then living, just like Buck, would be another perfect little joke from his God, a sort of, You want to die for your sins? Fine. Now you have. Now live and be free of them.
Dying for your sins sound familiar? A little Jesus-y? Yeah, it fits right into all the religious symbolism we got in Step 9, aka the very Bobby-centric episode we just had! @exhuastedpigeon made a really good post about it.
In the previous episode, we saw that Bobby had his addiction practically passed down to him by his father, like an original sin. He wandered the desert, he carried his cross. In this episode, he had his last meal and though he didn't quite literally pray with his family, he did give Eddie a book of catholic prayers...
So if we're following that theme, if Bobby is to get the closure he has been wishing for ever since that fire happened, he might just have to die. But we all know Jesus didn't exactly stay dead either.

The presents Damian recieves for his birthday are as follows: -from Bruce, giftcard. -from Talia an assortment of sharp things and very expensive clothes. -from Alfred tickets to an all expenses paid cruise holiday he's been saving for a special occasion. Damian bins them. -from Dick a genuinely thoughtful touching gift that gets Damian right in the heart. -from Stephanie a novelty mug she knows he'll hate. -from Tim, five bucks and a middle finger. -from Cassandra nothing. She feels guilty. Dick tells her he likes animals so she leaves a racoon in his room the next morning. -Barbara changes all of Tim's passwords for the day. -from Jason, weed. -from Duke a popup picture book because Damian's... what? Four? Five? -from the Super family a box set of their favourite family sitcom. -from Flatline, a locket that says simply 'I can't help it if I stole your heart' prompting many questions from Bruce.
