#he was funny and into weird hobbies and a little bit genderfucky and both sexy and awkward and he was shy and had a nervous tic onstage

False glamor and true evil of the music industry/Hollywood/show biz in general but uhhhhhh I wish I could give Elvis a hug

#this is goggles #can’t stop Thinkin about Elvis I feel like a little kid again #but this time I’ve done more than just listen to the jams and watch the films #that man had a pretty fucked up life but he never stopped being Wierd at his core and honestly #it’s hearting to know that other Weirdos have always been out there and always will be and they can indeed be celebrated for their Weirdness #It makes sense why Elvis impersonators even to this day are uhhhhh Like That #I’ve impersonated Elvis I’ve been friends with impersonators I follow a few in their careers #Elvis stans run extremely neurodivergent #he was a weird guy and even still his memory speaks to the other weird guys who are like him #idk dudes I’m really emotional reading Elvis & Me by Priscilla #he was very abused and he reacted in a lot of weird ways he was bad at communication and he wasn’t taken seriously when he hurt #he took advantage of songs his black friends wrote and didn’t share the royalties like he should’ve and he was weird af with 14yo Priscilla #he was trapped in a financial hellscape he wanted desperately to escape but couldn’t because of the predatory behavior of those around him #he loved and trusted them and he knew they were hurting him and that tore him to pieces but he was still so loyal #he was funny and into weird hobbies and a little bit genderfucky and both sexy and awkward and he was shy and had a nervous tic onstage #I love him genuinely and dearly he was so multifaceted and just Incredible #lmfao my own autism is 100% engaged when I think of him #I look at him and I understand that we’re the same and because we are I can be Incredible too #Tho I’m not gonna fool around with teenagers or screw my friends out of the dues they’re owed for their work #It’s not 1952 anymore we culturally recognize that that shit ain’t right these days #I can lead a life dedicated to the pursuit of fun and joy like Elvis #I can wear whatever tf I want no matter how garish or tacky like Elvis #I can be beloved for my bold and uninhibited personality no matter how weird like Elvis #And I can dress up like Elvis lmfao
