I can tell blackie lawless favorite horror villain is leather face
I am not sure but I do know he likes the Terminator movies and regrets getting turned down for the part as the T1000 Liquid Terminator in T2. One of the reasons he was rejected for the part was that Blackie is too tall for how the script was written. I also know he's spoken about puppetry and B-horror movies when talking about Ghoulies and The Dungeonmaster. As far as I know Blackie has one of the original Ghoulies puppets that he kept. (I am pretty sure there is an interview about the filming of Scream Until You Like it where he mentions not liking having to watch the puppets be boxed up so I feel like he might like horror puppets.)
If you are referring to Chainsaw Charlie, it has nothing to do with horror movies, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Leatherface. Oddly, Chainsaw Charlie is a record label owner, and Jonathan(the Crimson Idol) is a rockstar who is used by Charlie through lying to him about the benefits of fame. The Crimson Idol is a whole concept album about fame and how record labels and other music professionals treat young musicians. The Chainsaw in Chainsaw Charlie is the machine of the music industry chewing up artists as far as I can tell from the lyrics and from some of the commentary that was/is on the WASP fan site.
My own little aside.. Given all the blood and raw meat and pictures in fangs.... I would have assumed werewolves or vampires for Blackie before leatherface.

New addition to the noise collection.
A friend had a cassette copy of this album back in the day, and I used to borrow it often just to listen to “Hold On To My Heart” over and over. What can I say, I enjoy getting my heart ripped by power ballads.
Fast forward to 2006. It was my wedding and guess what’s playing during the traditional first dance courtesy of a little mixtape I made. Yes, I can proudly boast that ours is probably the only wedding in this country that played a W.A.S.P. song during the reception. If there are others then I’ve yet to hear of them.
We’re cool motherfuckers, my wife and I.

What are some lyrics that are living in your head rn. Please be as long and descriptive as you desire I would love to hear
ok. literally every word from arena of pleasure wont leave me alone today but this line specifically ugh
"i stand at the promised land with fire in my eyes"
ok. the little biblical reference shoots me down every time bc in the bible, the promised land is this holy place for the people of god where they will never be hungry or thirsty and they will be protected. i imagine this promised land to be...so different from that. this song plays like a movie in my mind whenever i hear it and this line always...i see myself standing in the middle of the street somewhere at night in an absolute debauched wasteland with a guitar in hand, ready to fuck things up. teenage rocker boys run away to hollywood to find their promised land, but is it really a promised land? they starve, they scrape and skimp and try to make it, pay the rent, survive. theyre always thirsty for something, whether it be success, girls, alcohol, you name it. theyre always wanting for something. but they do it anyways. i stand at the promised land with fire in my eyes. theres a defiance about it thats like, yea, i know this is fucked up and im throwing it all out there and doing this. yea, i might die in the gutter. yea, i belong here. this is my promised land. i dunno. the whole song fucks me up every single time and its also my most played song on apple music of all time. embarrassing. anyways. yea, its.....sooooo. i think if i could choose one song ever thats just Me in a nutshell it would be this one tbh.

Went back and re-uploaded an old piece of writing, as catharsis; a short story based off the concept album The Crimson Idol by W.A.S.P. .
Said album had me absolutely stunned the first time I listened to it - I was in the middle of studying, got to the final song and had to put down my pen to do nothing but listen, then proceeded to re-start the album and hear it all over again without my brain being focused on organic chem. To this day it still lives in my head rent-free.
In my opinion there's something very Faustian and tragic about it in between all of the epic rocking; if anything, said epic rocking just makes the eventual protagonist's fate even sadder. Blackie Lawless did a phenomenal job at portraying the darkest possible aspect to this lifestyle, all wrapped up in his signature wailing and crooning.
As for why I went back to it, certain events in my life irl have reminded me of this and the character's eventual fate.
So as I've said in the notes in the last chapter, never ever forget the world is a much better place with you in it.
You are cherished, wanted, and loved.

if you roman scarab could wish one thing to prismo what would he wish for? , freedom? or power? or (im assuming if its the same in this au) to have his wings?
Actually, he does get wishes, very often. Spectro's wishes aren't like AT Prismo, there's no limit (it's important to the story lmao). Although if he was only able to get one wish, Crimson would probably wish for something silly like "the strength of 1,000 men" he's very full of himself

Mera! Look at what I found on Pinterest! Since you spoke a little about the Housewardens as idols + Rollo!
OMG HE'S BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! OTL the pink nails, the outfit, the makeup AAAAAA!!!!! I would do anything for him. <3
Rollo definitely began his career by making covers and posting them online. Unlike the Housewardens, who trained intensely ever since they were very young to make it to where they are today, Rollo started in the cramped space of his closet (the only place with semi-decent acoustics) and a horrible microphone. T_T he learns as he goes, so his early covers are quite rough. But years later he has amassed a large online following and now has a proper, soundproofed space and high-quality equipment for singing and recording. He's been faceless ever since he started covering songs, so no one's ever seen what he looks like.
Rollo actually got into singing to cope with the loss of his little brother. When he starts making his own original music, he dedicates every song to his brother. He's actually quite private about his life outside of music. In fact, making music isn't his full-time job. He works at a flower shop making arrangements for events and holidays. Occasionally, he'll work in the attached greenhouse. He's quite knowledgeable on flowers and his floral arrangements are so beautiful and meaningful.
When one of the Housewardens discovers his channel and has his manager contact him, Rollo is introduced to you. Apparently, the Housewarden who found his channel enjoys his voice and wants to meet to discuss a potential collaboration, and since you manage him (along with the others) you're in charge of planning everything. Rollo has never revealed his face to anyone before and he's always been content remaining faceless. After all, he doesn't care much for the flashy lifestyle mainstream idols live. He likes his quiet florist job and comfortable music production schedule because both professions don't come with the insane amounts of paparazzi and publicity that idols like the Housewardens get. But you've been so kind while communicating with him, and he's found your social media after some digging. You're very cute. He'll consider your offer, if only to meet you and get to know you more.
