So alot of you will disagree with me on what im about to say and thats fine. I underatand not everyone will feel how i do on the matter due to the severity and evidence floating around.

And id like to preface this by saying that this isnt me giving him an excuse or saying what hes done is okay because obviously its not, people were hurt and are still hurting and he should be held responsible for his actions accordingly.

That being said lets delve in to this shotstorm of a topic and clear some things up. So as most everyone knows at this point the allegations against Ryan aka Cryaotic have been confirmed to a degree by himself and several of his 'victims'. The members of LNC have also confirmed bits and peices of the situation as thr information became available to them and its been confirmed by Snake that there are atlest 17 to 18 people who have come forward to him about their involvement as victims of Ryan.

With this information in tow id like to make a few points before hashing out the nitty gritty detIls in full. And before anyone comes for my neck over this just know that this is from the perspective of someone whose both seen and been a victim of this type of shit herself and also grown up in a family where age gaps are common place in most all relationships.

So for starters ive seen how grooming works hell ive béen a victim of it before but i got out of it early enough to not have sever lasting trauma from it. Whati personally feel is grooming and see as true malicious intent is not what ive seen so far with these allegations. Thats not to say it wasnt wrong because by all means on a moral level this is obviously disturbing. Coming from the perspective of someone who grew up knowing that an age gap of 4 to 6 years as common however makes this situation feel less like hes a pedophile or monster for whats taken place. I personally have had relationships with men older than me by 2 to 7 years even. When i was 15 i dated a guy who at the time was 18, which if you want to be technical about it, was illegal. Had anyone wanted to they couldve put him in jail for it due to my being only 15 at the time. But similar to the situation with Ryan, nothing sexual transpired till i was of age. My last relationship was with a man who was 27 while im only 21 which is a 6 year difference. But because im 21 its veiwed as normal. Look at your elders even. More often than not theres an age gap of atleast 3 years between couples. My grandmother is nearly 10 years younger than my grandfather even. Personally i feel like its okay as long as things dont become physical untill the younger party is of age. That in mind i still know that a 22 year old talking sexually with someone 16 or 17 is wrong morally and verges on illegal.

As for the allegations themselves and his victims. Know that the community hears you we support you and we wish the best for you all and that you get the closure you deserve and you dont owe us the full stories as those are your personal lives raveled in a very upsetting tale. I dont doubt that they were hurt or that they were truely victims, its clear that they were and deserve to see him held accountable just as any other accused of similar things.

As for Ryan himself. I am hurt and dissapointed by whats come out and as much as i want to join everyone on calling you a monster and saying i hate you, i dont. I see a man whose hurting others and himself in ways that are rather disturbing to hear and i hope you get the help you need and right your wrongs. The community should also realize that holding you accountable doesnt mean sending you hate and making remarks that you should off yourself or demand explinations. We arent the victims and we dont have the right to demand answers. We arent the ones who get to forgive him and we arent the ones who should be getting the apologies. I havent gotten all the details on the situation so obviously my veiw isnt going to be 100% accurate but even so i know that he owes us nothing and that the victims are the ones who get to make the demands.

From a legal stand point his silence is a smart move as he was only making this worse with his video and oroginal tweets on the matter. So be patient, if he releases a statement on the matter at some point then he does but if he never makes one then let it die with the community. We dont need to keep this alive by demanding he answer us especially when we could be hurting the victims more by keeping it in their faces what hes done.

I dont wish bad on anyone involved and only hope they all get the help they deserve and need in the process of this all. For those who dont know whats going on here are links to some of the videos and threads best explaining the situation.

Theres morr out there on this im sure and please do let me know if ive missed anything but on a personal note while i feel he needs to face the consequences of what hes done i dont think things are being handled well by the community. This couldve been much worse and the backlash has been rather extream. Obviously theres still things we dont know but as of right now im firm in my feelings that he deserves time to get help and explain himself even though its not going to change the past. And i hope the victims get their solace and justice for whats transpired.

hi saw someone post a tweet on insta that was like "what are you without your close attachments?" NOTHING! thats the goddamn POINT! we are all just trying to exist and survive and like.... there is no greater solace than finding resonance and solidarity with another person there is no better feeling than connecting with someone and sharing a relationship and feeling seen and appreciated and understood and being able to do the same for others. our capacity for attention is only so big but for the people we decide to let in and acknowledge... youve gotta open up! connect! finding another person that reassures and reminds you that everyone else is just as present and human and aware as you is so freeing and relieving and empowering! people are raised in families because feeling love and belonging is vital! having a larger community that you feel love and empathy and kinship with is inherently healing and empowering! we should all strive to find healthy and comfortable connections with people seeking the same! what is there to life beyond the impact you leave on others... idc how rich your internal life is because that shit dies with you. even in small and mundane moments there are opportunities to connect and love your neighbors and you should capitalize on that! its about LOVE!

#dont talk to me if its to tell me this is nonsense or incoherent.#idk why this got me heated but it DID. do no at me im just venting #also like. dnr

A Deeply Personal and Candid Story on my Father Wound: Tidbits of Knowledge to Deepen my Empathy and Love for Myself and Others

Ahhhh, my father. My father is the quintessential Sagittarius sun AND moon. He is bold, honest, enthusiastic, philosophical, optimistic and lucky but also consistently angry, emotionally distant, hurtful, sarcastic, cruel and aloof. I, as well as many Western member of Gen-Z, I have been inundated with Instagram posts, Tik-Toks, Tweets and memes that address childhood traumas and its negative impact on the previous and current generations. Whether it be a serious analysis of the effects of childhood wounding floating throughout the Twitterverse, or a Tik-Tok that makes humor of a seriously fucked up and traumatic childhood experience while simultaneously making the viewer chuckle and feel seen. I am thankful to live during an era where therapy attendance is not only popular but encouraged among the masses. Despite this, there is a pervasive notion amongst Gen-Z that is somewhat victimizing... Sorry. I know. Victim is an extremely touchy word that insights a variety of loaded emotions and negative associations. In this case I intentionally and purposefully use the word victim because I have noticed that constantly focusing on the ways in which our parents, but in this text fathers specially, have traumatized us encourages a sense of hopelessness and victimhood to deeply manifest within the psyche. "After all, we didn't choose our parents BUT they CHOSE to have us!" Is something I consistently repeated to myself in the moments where the resentment towards my father and his inability to do "right" by me exploded. At one point this sense of despair and sorriness I felt for myself lead me, as well as so many others, down the rabbit hole of ifs. If dad was here... If dad was honest... If dad didn't cheat on mom... If dad loved me... If dad respected me... If dad protected me...If dad saw me...If dad could keep a job and provide, If dad never left... Harping on past circumstances far out of our control is exrutiatingly depressing and induces sensations of hopelessness, feeling as if we have no control. "I couldn't choose my father and look how everything he did ruined me...what things can I even control?" I don't quite remember exactly when it happened but at one point in my college years, in my own process of self-pity, I recognized how deeply narcissistic my perspective was. I am not the first, or the last person to be wounded by my father. I am not the first or last girl to have daddy issues. I am not the first and I won't be the last girl to lay eyes on the most destructive, untrustworthy and emotionally unavailable guy and say "Thats the one!! I love him!!" While the presence or absence of another person's trauma does not invalidate our own, I found solace in knowing that others felt what I felt, done what I've done, and seen what Ive seen. Harping on the childhood wounds and the ones I accumulated through traumatic relationships was not actually improving my sense of self worth, my confidence and my relationships with men. This post is not intended to absolve fathers from their role in wounding children. This text is my testimony laced with tidbits of information that helped me consciously decide to transmute my paternal wounding into a learning experience that deepened my ability to empathize and forgive not only my father, but myself. It wad excruciatingly difficult for me to forgive myself for thins I did and allowed. I was unaware that my ability to forgive my father was karmically tied to my ability to forgive myself. When you can extend grace to others, you can more readily extend it to oneself. No matter who you are the wounds passed down from the father will dictate how you are able to receive and give love, and alters the way one practices discernment in dating. Awareness of one's wounding is an important step in the process, but it cannot be the all end be all. Transmuting paternal wounding into radical empathy and unconditional love was required of me, if I was to ever have a relationship with a man that would be even a tiny bit healthy. Had I continued down that path, my lover with wound me in all the ways my

father did and likely wound my children in the same way I was. Somatically feeling genuine empathy and forgiveness for my father on a deeply visceral level is a point I needed to reach to cultivate my own sanity and peace. If you are reading this and your father was deeply evil and committed horrifically malicious acts against you or was even absent your whole life, this is still for you. Nonetheless, this text does not aim to encourage the reader to contact their father, integrate him into your life, or cultivate a deeper bond with him. This text is for YOU. Not HIM.

MY WOUNDING

Although I feel in my heart the love my father has for me is real, I never felt as if I got enough of it growing up. He had a mean streak, and would tease me as if I was one of his classroom peers. He didn't dote on me, tell me I’m gorgeous and wasn't an emotionally present figure there to guide me through difficult experiences. He was extremely reactive and angry. He could not efficiently express his emotions or share a deeply personal emotion if his life depended on it. Naturally, this negatively shaped the manner in which I seek, view and express romantic love. As children when parents are incapable of showing up for children in the ways we need, the young child doesn't believe that something is wrong with the parent... The child start to believe something is wrong with themself. As I analyze my early childhood, some beliefs I cultivated around my self worth based on how my father treated me developed.

He comes in and out of my life because inconsistency is what I deserve.

He doesn't tell me I’m beautiful because I am not beautiful.

He doesn't give me a lot of attention and affection because I am underserving of attention and affection.

He teases me because I'm embarrassing and worthy of taunting.

He says I'm fat because I am ugly and undesirable.

In order to be worthy of his attention and love I must perform traits that I do not authentically possess or express.

He teases me about my acne break outs and makes comments when I gain or lose too much weight, therefore I should feel shame about myself and my worth when my looks are not deemed attractive by men.

He calls me names and makes me feel inferior, it is okay and normal for men to make me feel this way...

I was a small child who knew nothing but love for her dear daddy who could do no wrong. As I progressed into a restless, resentful and somewhat combative teenager, I transformed into a young adult who saw my father as my very own personal Lucifer. Whether I saw him as a god or a demon, whether he made me feel good, or sad, the notion that his own traumas, deficiencies, fears and insecurities influenced the way we treated me was not even a thought or consideration until I was around 20. Im currently 22 so it hasn't even been that long since I started to see my father for who he was, which was a human being. Not a god, not a demon, a human. As human nature preserves, no man that walks on THIS Earth gets to choose between his godlike and devilish nature. The best he can do is understand both dimensions of his nature and cultivate whichever aspect of himself is needed to reach his own goals and desires.

To this day, my parents are married, and have been for about 30 years. Despite their longevity and my genuine belief that my parents are soulmates and in love, they have a very odd long distance situation that is hard to explain to people who aren't apart of my family. Their situation blurred my expectations of what I thought a husband and father's role was supposed to be. Their relationship greatly contrasted who I thought my father should have shown up as because he didn't perform in the way I thought he should have based on media, friends and society . I didn't often feel love from my father that validated my being and sense of worth. He is a naturally emotionally distant man and this was only exacerbated by his physical absence from my life. He visited my mom, me and my sisters that were still at home during random moments and times. Sometimes his presence was a carrot he dangled infant of my mother, something I deeply internalized. If him and my mother had problems, I was in the middle. I always use to laugh at tv shows when the fictional parents would argue and say " We need to be quiet! The kids can't know we are having problems!" If only my parents hid things form me... man I probably would've felt more peace. He was gone most of the time, but when he was around he was either arguing with me or my three sisters, or my mom. I went on to college and our relationship was about the same. He didn't call me often, but when he did it was most likely a rant about my deficiencies. Contrastingly, there were times he would call at an offhand time and tell me he really loves me and really cares about me.

He loves and validates me at random moments because I do not deserve love that is consistent and guaranteed.

Anxiety, a general sense of longing, emotional unavailability integrated into my nervous system. The sensations I felt when my dad triggered feelings of abandonment or unworthiness are the same sensations I felt anytime a circumstance made me feel unworthy and abandoned: If a kid in my class made an offhand comment about my looks, if I didn't receive "enough" validation via social media, my committal to ONLY pursuing men who were inconsistent and would abandon me.

Nothing brings a deeper sense of contentment than the confirmation of self beliefs no matter how damaging said belief is. It is all the more painful and powerful when that belief is so deeply intertwined to one’s being that we have physical confirmations via sensations by way of the nervous system. This provides a physical manifestation of the excitement, fear, anxiety, happiness, confusion and pain we may have felt as a child which oftentimes is confused with chemistry, butterflies, or love in adulthood. Dr. Nicole Le Pera, a clinical psychologist I very much admire maintains the theory that we can become addicted to our own emotions, which I think is extremely applicable to the way I operated. Experiencing situations that trigger those emotions that run so deep that they garner a physical reaction from the body are dangerously tantalizing and addictive. Every guy I liked had to trigger those feelings in me, or the possibility of our love was dead. I unintentionally chased a variety of new experiences with "different" people that are different enough to satisfy my human desire for novelty and delude me into thinking I wasn't repeating toxic patterns. “How could it be a pattern when the situation is completely different?”

HIS WOUNDING

I don't remember the instant when I viewed my father as a flawed human being with his own fears, insecurities, projections and traumas. As I grew older, when my father's words or actions hurt me, I started to pity him. One time he was tearing into me with his words and instead of responding to his insults I simply asked "Was your father cruel to you? Is this why you're so mean to me?" For the first time I saw him give pause, a somewhat concerned expression flashed across his face and he answered "Maybe." My father had a very inconsistent mother figure who essentially abandoned him and his sister. She was cold and emotionally distant. To make matters worse, she physically abandoned him and went on to live her life without him or his sisters when he was about 5 or 6. I met my paternal grandmother once at the age of 20. He was abruptly moved from Ethiopia to the Virgin Islands to live with his father, for reasons he was too young to then understand. I never knew my grandfather because he died before I was born, but based off what I know, he had the same mean streak he passed to my father. There are many things I do not know about his childhood, but the things I do know, make me feel a great amount of empathy for the wounding I know he received from both his parents.

PRACTICING EMPATHY

Empathy is a word so overused, we lose touch with its true meaning and origin. Both Empathy and Sympathy share the suffix -pathy, originating from the Greek word pathos, meaning "feeling." The Greek prefix -sym means "with." Therefore, sympathy is defined as feeling sad for another's misfortune. On the other hand, the prefix -em, Greek meaning for "in" illustrates the the powerful difference between "feeling in" and "feeling with." The feelings of abandonment and inadequacy I feel on a deep, almost innate level are things I feel within myself. These are things my father felt within himself as a child and that he unknowingly projected unto me. I have deep empathy and feel in him, the pain he felt as a child through his words and actions towards me. I know how he made me feel so I know at some point he was taught to both feel and make others feel the way he did. Abandoned and unworthy.

Mnemosyne, the Greek Goddess of memory gave birth to her creation, the Muses who preside over the arts and sciences. Today we use the word muse to describe the person or entity that inspires art, story telling and song. In the introduction to The Odyssey translated by Emily Watson, she eloquently states that story and song are a means to "remember the times before we were born." Our DNA is an extremely complex form of memory that is deeply engrained into all of us which is passed down from our biological parents. The DNA passed from our parents helps us remember in a round about way, time before our existence. In a very intimate, indescribable way, we can inherit then feel their fears, pains, traumas. In a similar way, we can inherit their beauty, talents, interests and mannerisms. The mode in which one's nervous system and the brain function is highly genetic. The way we practice and manifest feelings throughout the body is often inherited. When my chest hurts and my stomach is in knots after my latest lover abandons me, I feel in me the way my father felt many times through his life. One cannot always tangibly grasp the ways in which ones fathers genetic memory helps us remember the past. We internalize both genetic and socialized aspects of our parents personality. Not only does the genetic memory of my father that allows me to feel some of his pain deepen my empathy, but it reminds me of a more tangible and over way that memories influence the way one chooses to parent, which allowed the child to remember a time before they were born. His memories carry deep emotions, fears, insecurities and traumas that he used as a frame of reference to parent me.

HE WASN'T ALL BAD

This candid blog post detailing my personal journey towards radical empathy towards my father made him look like a detestable asshole. lol. While he had his downfalls ever since I could remember he always envisioned a life of luxury for himself. Every memory I have of him during my younger years was him planning a new business venture, drawing professional quality designs and doodles of yachts and mansions he said he would have, that we would have. He didn't even finish the 10th grade. He had no emotional, physical or emotional support from his mother or father yet he built a successful business and provides for his family to the best of his ability. He viewed a mans love as hard, financial and aloof. He didn't intentionally wound me in this way so that he could inflict pain and ruin my future loves. He just repeated the emotional patters he internalized as a child and projected them unto me. Yes, he SHOULD do the work to evaluate his trauma so that he can be a better father. In a perfect world, he would do the work and heal. Realistically speaking, he is old and stuck in his ways. No he is not absolved of responsibility, but forgiving him for the ways he hurt me, and empathizing with his pain instead of internalizing was for ME. I had to break the cycle within myself, I cannot control another human being or force their healing.

As a child my father did hurt me but I still really saw him as a likable ambitious man. He instilled in me at a young age that you can dream bigger than your situation. Not only did he dream, I saw the fruits of his labor. He proved to me in my early years the power of belief in oneself and ones ability to pursue their dreams against all odds. His belief is something I deeply feel within myself. While I did inherit some wounds I also inherited a deep sense of belief in my ability to accomplish my goals. My father is lucky, philosophical, honest (when he’s not playing a practical joke), intuitive, playful, optimistic. He is also human and completely imperfect.

New Post has been published on https://freenews.today/2020/12/01/whats-there-to-fact-check-usa-today-covers-for-biden-press-secretary-jen-psaki-wearing-a-hammer-and-sickle-hat/

What’s there to FACT CHECK? USA Today covers for Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki wearing a hammer-and-sickle hat

Anyone wondering how protective the legacy media will be of Joe Biden’s incoming administration got a good indication on Tuesday, when USA Today fact-checked a photo of his Press Secretary Jen Psaki wearing a Soviet souvenir.

There was no allegation that the photo, posted on Twitter by Donald Trump campaign spokesman Matt Wolking, was altered or fraudulent. There was no assertion made by Wolking that might be considered false or misleading. His tweet merely described the picture, showing Psaki wearing the pink ushanka hat while posing with her then-boss, US Secretary of State John Kerry, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and her Moscow counterpart Maria Zakharova.

USA Today nevertheless dove in to scrutinize the truthfulness of the photo, concluding that it was “missing context.” The context was that Lavrov gave the hat to Psaki at a diplomatic meeting in Paris, USA Today said. The newspaper even cited an anonymous source to add that Psaki didn’t keep the hat.

That’s despite Psaki being on the record telling reporters she kept it and would take it to the White House when she became communications director for President Barack Obama in March 2015.

Conservative Twitter naturally mocked USA Today for thinking it appropriate to fact-check the photo and even find fault with its veracity.

“Why are you fact-checking this? No one’s making a claim,” said Donald Trump Jr. “Just showing her wearing a commie hat – that’s a fact. If the media stopped running cover for Democrats as their primary mission, maybe they’d have some credibility left,” the president’s son added.

Why are you fat checking this? No one’s making a claim just showing her wearing a commie hat… THATS A FACT!!!If the media stopped running cover for Democrats as their primary mission maybe they have some credibility left. https://t.co/DtcKwkAev9

— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) December 1, 2020

“So, it’s not photoshopped. It’s real. The end,” media critic Mark Dice declared.

So, it’s not photoshopped. It’s real. The end.

— Mark Dice (@MarkDice) December 1, 2020

Caleb Hull called the fact-check article “hot garbage” and said USA Today reporter Camille Caldera should “straight-up be fired for writing it,” while author Mike Cernovich took solace in how revealing the article was, saying, “Thank you for being this overt with your fraud.”

Thank you for being this overt with your fraud.

— Cerno (@Cernovich) December 1, 2020

Psaki herself reacted to Wolking’s publication of the photo by declaring that the purpose of “Russian propaganda” is to “discredit powerful messengers and to spread misinformation to confuse the public,” and anyone repeating it is “simply a puppet.”

For anyone who hasn’t been the target of Russian propaganda (cc: @McFaul@HillaryClinton) the purpose is to discredit powerful messengers and to spread misinformation to confuse the public. Anyone who repeats it is (unwitting or not) simply a puppet of the propaganda machine.

— Jen Psaki (@jrpsaki) December 1, 2020

Biden, whom the US mainstream media has anointed the president-elect, chose Psaki as his press secretary as part of an all-female White House communications team that was announced on Sunday.

Psaki’s frequent gaffes made her somewhat of a celebrity while she worked as State Department spokeswoman under Kerry. Her errors included struggling with the difference between Iraq and Iran and criticizing the phenomenon of “carousel voting” before admitting that she didn’t know what it was.

Also on rt.com Foot-in-mouth Jen Psaki is the perfect spokesperson for gaffe machine Joe Biden

i saw some tweets earlier explaining that the LGBT community has always been about WHO you feel attraction to, not HOW and i feel like that sums up why cishet aces arent LGBT p well

yeah thats pretty accurate imo!

and like i’ll say again, i get that ace people feel weird and broken, hypersexualization is everywhere in society and i’m personally a person who has a very unusual relationship with sexual attraction so it gets me too! people deserve to find solace in one another that they aren’t alone/broken/etc, and lgbt people and ace people can still get along and share comfort/empower each other even without being one and the same

Interview ...

As usual, I say something in an interview and of course fans have a problem with it. I don’t know why i continuously feel like I should have to defend myself, but because no one is able read between the lines to understand why I said what i said.. I can’t help but want to try and encourage people to use their brains for something other than typical Social Media nonsense. I quoted in an interview that “Power Team are not about preaching the message anymore or pushing the be yourself shit” Yes. Myself and the band as an entity have decided to stop the preaching. If you’ve been to any shows of ours since I think Warped Tour of 2016, you will notice that I put an end to the speeches and on stage rants, I don’t post anything people may find inspirational and I have completely stepped away from social networking on a regular basis. This has been an occurrence that has taken place for over a year, so why only now that I brought it to peoples attention in an interview are they whining about it? When are people finally going to get it through their heads that "Power Team" is not the same band it was when "Life Album" came out? Why did I say that in the interview? *cracks knuckles* *takes deep breath* Three very big reasons. #1. 8 out of 10 bands, clothing lines and public figures around now are on the “inspirational message” train. I’ve been watching it grow for the past few years. I can’t see a band anymore without hearing the same regurgitated and hollow words come from their mouths. I haven’t seen a clothing line released lately without the accompanying message in any variation the company decides to convey it. Do people not realize that they are being scammed? Are people too stupid to see that the “message” is a money making failsafe plan? These bands and companies realize that people are responding heavily to the “message” thing and many of them have no problem using that to their advantage. I’m not saying in any way that we were the first band to claim any sort of message.. fuck no we weren’t. But I can assure you that I never spoke a word I didn’t mean in an effort to take your money. You can see how us carrying on as a band but not wanting to prey on the willingness of said money spender would demonstrate the sincerity of where we’re at as a band now. It’s bullshit and I want no part in it any more. It’s that simple. I’m going to write the lyrics I write because thats how I feel and thats how it’s always been. I’m not your life coach and my lyrics aren’t supposed to be a guideline as to how you should live your life. I’ve said that before. IF people want to find hope or inspiration from them then hey, thats amazing and i’m incredibly honored, but i’m not writing them for you, I’m writing them for me. It’s all on you as to what you take from them and how you allow it to help you. #2. This “you saved my life”, “you’re my hero” and “you’re my voice” thing has become an unbearable burden and a downright eye roller. NO. I did not save your life. NO.. band X, Y or Z did not save your life. IF in fact you were on the brink of any self harming action… it was YOU who pulled yourself from the ledge. You saved your life, You are the hero. Why are people not willing to take credit for their own actions? Thats right… because thats what fans think bands want to hear. I’m not taking ANYTHING away from people who do self harm or have a hard time with any aspects of their lives. We’ve all been there and having gone through those things myself shaped who I am today and made me want to use music as an outlet. I do agree that music can be a very helpful tool in helping you overcome whatever is ailing you, but in the end it’s only you who had the strength to pull yourself out of it. I am strictly speaking out against the many many people i’ve seen approach me in the most absolute insincere, dishonest fashion with the “you guys saved my life” lines. I wish I had video of it so you can get the full effect. I can see right through it. It’s as though that has become the new “hello” when approaching a band member. What happened to “hey man, great show”, or “Hey guys, I really like your record/song”? Why does fucking EVERYTHING have to be laced with the “omg like you totally saved my life, and my friends life and her cats life” or the “you’re a huge inspiration, you’re my hero”? Can someone please tell me how the FUCK these bands who write lyrics about getting wasted or degrading women have saved your life? Seriously? It’s giving the people who really do deal with this stuff a bad name. Not to mention that on many occasions, I’ve seen people tweet things at me, then i’ll go to their twitter page only to see that they literally copy and pasted the same words to 15 other band members with only the intention of getting a response from one of us so they can screen shot it and brag about it. Disgusting. And you wonder why I just want to just simply write/play music and get the fuck out of that world of things?? #3. The hypocrisy amongst the very same fans who are upset with me is just embarrassing. I see fans every day tweet at me and say that I’ve helped them, but then will see that same person rip someone else apart over their opinion of something, the bands they like or a certain musician they like etc… Just go to a bands facebook page and read the comments on one of their music videos. Or better yet, go to my facebook and read the daily wars that happen between comments on my photos of things completely irrelevant to what they are arguing over. Seriously, I can post a photo of something like a cool piece of architecture I came across on tour , It’s sickening that people who claim that music has helped them and gave them any sort of values and morals to live by treat others with such disrespect. You’re full of shit. Looking back on everything I’ve ever said makes me realize that underneath it all, Power Team’s main message has always been about not giving a fuck what people thought and encouraging you to do the same. We stopped with the preaching and pushing. We changed our style of music to sound like how we wanted to sound without fear of losing fans. We’ve maintained our image regardless of criticism. We are pulling back from the shit like putting “fuck” or “666” or fucking upside-down crosses on shirts just to sell merch because those are the only shirts kids fucking buy anymore. We are doing whatever the fuck we want and if that means our time has come where our band isn’t welcome anymore, then I feel sorry for you that you chose to support the opposition and for pushing out a band that now solely cares about what music, at it’s core, should always be about… giving people their money’s worth with the music/lyrics and live show. 90% of the people that are pissed at me and that i am referring to in this blog (based off of the comments I’ve read) are younger kids. I am an adult and we see things very differently. I’m not looking to spend the rest of my career on the playground. It’s not that I don’t care, its that I do care. Thats the problem." we definitely live in a disposable generation where if you are not keeping your band out there, relevant, and in people’s faces at all time, they are just going to move on to the next band. People do not hold on to music and bands anymore, they are just not as sacred anymore. There are fifteen other bands that sound just like you do and they are trying to take your spot on someone else’s shelf, and they are going to do it if you do not get out there, do your thing, and constantly put yourself in front of everybody. Unfortunately, that is the world that we are a part of. We realize that and try our best to just challenge that, stay relevant, and do what we got to do. It definitely does get complicated some times. On Writing Lyrics .... I am definitely a fan of some music that does not take that kind of approach. I love music of all different styles and lyrics of all different styles, but for me personally, I have always just been the kind of guy that I would not be able to live with myself if I was not writing about something that was coming from the heart or that did not feel entirely sincere and honest. Of course I write some songs that are these fictional stories and just dumb humorous things that are meant to be fun; there are a few tracks on the records that are like that. For the most part, I have always been the kind of person that really has a lot to say about some things and I really want to use the music as that outlet because you can write something online, and if you write it down people are going to read it, but if someone is fucking saying something to you then you are going to listen, for the most part, and that is just my outlet of doing that. I have always found solace in writing about things that I felt very deeply about and towards. Thankfully I have this band to do it and I have never really held back from writing anything that I wanted to write and, basically, people seem to appreciate that. It is good to be recognized for that. That is just how I am going to continue to write. I like that I can do that and that I can also write the not so serious stuff and still add a touch of humor and entertainment to our band that keeps us a little bit from going in one direction entirely.

so I suddenly remembered that Will gets prophetic dreams. The amount of angst people could come up with that information-

*What if will knows the ending of him and Nico's quest in little glimpses. And he knows that one of them isn't gonna make it. And Will being Will he won't tell Nico about it cause it'll only worry him more. So Will spends every moment with Nico like it's his last, and I mean memorizing the dude and just engraving him into his memory (cuz he's his happy pill) because. In one of those prophetic dreams, in those little glimpses, he sees Nico escaping Tartarus, but it's without a certain blonde wearing flipflops.*

goodnight.

Solangelo: and how they feel about cute couple stuff (Pt. 1)

Hand holding

Ok Will is definitely on board for holding hands whenever and wherever, because it just shows everyone that the two of them are together and in a relationship. Will isn't easily jealous and all that but whenever he gets the chance he will shove it in everyone's face that he is dating THE Nico Di Angelo 😭. (But of course our respectful sunshine solace will only hold hands if the other party is ok with it. So it'll start like grabbing Nico's pinky or smth and if the other pulls away then he'd respect that. If not then he'd interlace their fingers together and smile like an absolute loser.)

Nico :((( ok I think anything PDA in general he isn't really on board with (y'all know why already) and he probably feels guilty whenever he pulls away from Will and HDIDBFIEJ MY POOR BOY TT. but don't worry he makes up for that in private. But when he gains confidence he definitely would agree to holding hands whenever they're with a small group of people. (Will almost died once because he actually initiated the hand holding.)

Cuddling

If there's one thing Will loves after a long day of working and healing it's definitely cuddling. He's super clingy especially when he's sleep deprived and tired. Will literally just jump in the other's arms as soon as he has a break from the clinic (coffee who? You only need your cute emo boyfriend in this life). Sometimes it's just quiet between the two of them, like a peaceful kind of silence. Sometimes they talk about each other's days, and random topics that come into mind. But it always manages to give Will his energy back. Neck, he definitely like snuggling into the others neck the most and giving it small soft kisses. (AGHHDHSHEHS we love the touch starved idiots)

Nico, yes yes and yes to cuddling. Though he likes to deny it everytime the other teases him about it. He likes the fact that he's the first person Will goes to too seek energy. Clingy Will is his favorite (don't tell Will that though). He likes putting his arms around the blonde like he's protecting him, and he's always super gentle. Also yes combing the others unruly mess of blonde hair. I feel like he realizes how much he likes this man during one of their cuddle session, it's just Will acting clingy and complaining about the Stolls once more and it just clicks to Nico that 'oh wow I want to spend the rest of my life with this person.'

Borrowing each other's clothes.

Oh you can't do that to poor Will without a warning, he'd just see Nico in his shirt or hoodie and then he's reduced to a coughing mess. Though he tries (and fails) to act cool about it. Seeing Nico in his clothes makes his heart melt and his mood brighten. Like they could be having a fight or squabble, and Nico would be wearing his hoodie and the only thing Will could focus on is that. 'oh my Gods he's wearing my hoodie', 'why does he look good?!' 'no you should be mad at him' 'put your mad face on damnit!' 'oh fudje it'.

Ok but Nico knows wearing the other's clothes drives the blonde to the bring of Insanity. That's why he does it. He'll play innocent of course as if he doesn't know the effect it has on his boyfriend TT. He picks the biggest ones because they're the most comfiest and warm. Props because it smells like Will too. Nico 'wears Wills oversized hoodies to fuck with him' Di Angelo. Oh but Will does borrow Nico's band t-shirts, the tables are definitely turned and now he's the flustered mess.

Forehead kisses

Yes. He's tall. Nico's short. He loves this so much. He loves that Nico is the perfect height to give forehead kisses too. Yes it's to show his affection but it's also him teasing the other boy in a way. At random times of the day when there aren't many campers around he'd just give Nico forehead kisses randomly, and the other is always an angry flustered mess after them. But maybe like a few years into their relationship Nick gets used to it, to the point that when Will does that he just gives him a look and continues to talk about whatever he was saying before he was so *rudely* interrupted. My guys not even surprised anymore.

Nico giving forehead kisses when they cuddle. Because Will being the big baby he is always in need of affection. So yes kisses for you. I have nothing to say except for the fact that Nico definitely brushes Wills bangs upwards to give him proper forehead kisses. 'its called forehead kisses not hair kisses Solace!'

Ok. I'm gonna stop here because I'm writting this as I walk to the dentist. Pt 2. Soon if this part blows up, or not because I love talking about my sun and star couple so much.
