There's been discourse on my dash/on tumblr about the new music vids' similarities (or denying similarities) with IDKHOW's colors/motif on Razzmatazz, the "old music show" theme, etc, to say nothing of what a dumpster fire fandom twitter still is, and... I saw similarities too, although B's vibe is more mid 60s-mid 70s and Dallon/IDK's is later 70s-80s.
(Overall, B more goes all over the place from late 40s-now, to say nothing of the Victorian era aspects of Vices and even Pretty. Odd era and Dallon is mostly sonically and aesthetically planted in the 70s-80s eg punk, glam, funk, new wave, 80s technology, altho he too was a significant contributor to the aesthetic of Vices era, to say nothing of their mutual creation TWTL). My thought with it is it is likely inventionally referencing IDK too, but them two are far from the first in the 21st century to make similar references/aesthetics/music (eg 60s-70s nostalgia w music, fashion, etc has clearly been around since the 90s eg the second musical British invasion with acts like Oasis, music & fashion often have similarities, even cycles, over the years).
And it being intentional doesn't mean it's ripping off or a burn to IDK. My thought was maybe they (B and D) talked some things through. The nods, which resulted in ppl in these fandoms have mini meltdowns over it & others wondering wtf was going on, recent panic fans going who is IDKhow? would be an ... interesting way for fans to find out about the other group.
I dunno, call me crazy. It's quite possible to me. I don't think B or D (or Breezy ftm) are nearly as toxic as vocal kicking off decontentextualizing and outright rumour milling/telephoning/making crap up parts of these fandoms are. (I know Dallon did that "Ryan's and I past endeavors between brobecks and now never happened" thing at a show however many months ago however many months ago, but I do think he and breezy fucking went through a lot of crap with Zack in the past. And again, I'm a sad at the situation but hopeful optimist of it being fixable. Zack was a bad guy in this, but not even he is Evil in this like fandom, and people online generally, wants with clear pure sparkle dusted angels vs Worst Person Ever devils that did every bad thing any and everyone heard from the grapevine they did, and there is no mutual human frailty, mistakes, not realizing/not knowing enough, not knowing what to do, rawness, people growing apart, people hurting each other, people realizing they too could've been better, people not knowing how to fix things...)
And I seriously just got John Lennon in my head over this: "you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one" about my optimistic wondering 😆
I can hope, y'all
Ps, on a lighter topic, that somewhat controversial photo, I liked the pearls and was meh on the fishnet shirt 😉 💕 the pink jacket. I generally prefer the more candid photos to the "Official Male Model Poses and Facial Expressions" photos lol

do you have an in-depth background for Dorian? I loved the comic with his family members, and it made me wonder about his entire life story!! what is his relationship with his siblings!!! why did he start adventuring!!! dorian is not my bg3 character but I love him as a son
he comes from a huge family of wood elf rangers and he was. a handful
also the whole adventuring thing was a complete accident
he was just walking home and got zapped by the nautiloid
