People Always Point Out That The Choir Probably Didin't Recognize Jane Because She's't Been Around For

Y'know it really pisses me off as someone who is part of countercultures to see characters like Wednesday Addams who is quite something in goth subculture be changed in a way that I like to call "pleasant weird" (I'm sure there might be a term for it but hear me out), which would be taking a character and make just weird enough that it's accepted and liked by people who aren't part of the subculture or counterculture the character's part of.

One of the reasons for my disliking of those characters going to mainstream media is not by any means gatekeeping, but more my disgust towards the idea that, in order for something to be liked or good, it needs to be at least a little "normal".

Take for example Metal Lords, a lot of people love it, as someone in the metal scene (and I am certain that many metalheads and metal enjoyers can agrre with me), I find it a absolutely horrible film; you wanna know why? Because it wasn't made for me, just like Wednesday wasn't made for us (goths and people withing the scene and culture), it was made from "normal" people to "normal" people. Don't get me wrong there are great things about this adaptation such as comic accurate Gomez design, but there are also so out of character characters, like wtf. It genuinely is a fanfic of the Addams Family, and don't get me wrong I love fanfiction, it's just not well written one.

Another thing I'd like to add is that the people who go "oh I'm so Wednesday Addams" for wearing two braids and wearing a black dress or "oh I'm so goth! Look at my Wednesday Addams dance" when it is canonically inspired by goth icons such ass Siouxsie Soux and Lene lovich and sure you can like it, but you must understand that goth is a very rich subculture that consists not only of a certain make up style of way to dress, but very important history, music and political beliefs. Those people are the ones that, when they see a genuine goth person on the streets will make fun of them for being "weird", because it's only cool when they choose which aspects of a subculture to appropriate; and it can be really harmful at some point, take for example bone heads (which I'll make a whole post about later).

You were the one to make me accept being in love

You were the one holding my heart tightly in your cold hands

As you beckoned me into the dark

You handed me my heart in a silver plate

But I was the one forced to watch as you teared it apart

With the dullest knife

You made me so mortified of loving again,

How can I tell what happened?

*What happened?*

You're really gonna tell me I just walked away?

You looked me deep in the soul,

You held your switchblade knife so near my throat,

You didn't say the words,

But I knew you would cut through my lies and restraints,

My half apologies

I didn't know if my fear would shield me.

I ran away.

Again.

Heyy, so I know how annoying this is, but, while I'm still looking for a job - and therefore have an unholy amount of free time -, I am offering to edit, be beta reader, etc for literally *anything* you write, I also can translate things from and to portuguese if that interests anyone lol

I just need shit to do or else i'll lose my mind!

Por Através do Vidro de Seus Olhos

Seus olhos tão profundos quanto o oceano,

Tão cheios de palavras e pensamentos quanto uma infinita série de espessos livros,

Através de seus olhos via-se um mar de emoções,

O vidro de seus olhos deveria ser à prova de balas,

Do contrário, todas as emoções, boas e ruins, irromperiam e inundariam sua vida,

E nem as equipes de resgate da ONU,

Seriam capazes de achá-la,

Pegaria uma passagem só de ida,

Por através da vida,

E desaguaria nos mares de seus desejos,

Um mar negro,

Pintado de lágrimas e lamentações,

De uma vida,

Que não fora escolhida.

OMG THIS IS LITERALLY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I'VE EVER SEEN

Talia my darling

Very normal, ordinary even (/lie/)

I am a normal person with normal thoughts and feelings about Doctor who (1963-1989)

I need a version of lorax where Ryan Ross voices the Once-ler

Which is the best song in modern pop-punk history and why is it "Cute Without the 'E' (Cute From the Team) by american pop-punk band Taking Back Sunday?

The moon fell in love with the sun

They craved being together

But they never got the chance,

The day never met the night.

Eclipses always ended up in someone blinded.

When the sun met the moon,

The fire burned a hole in miss M.

But she knew the feeling.

Way too familiar

The gravitation so strong

They couldn't help orbiting each other

(Blame it on Kepler)

There was a terrible crash

The destruction brought the end of the world as they knew it

All life is gone now.

Idk how to feel about this lol it kinda sucks but whatever

I also think that the reason why it doesn't sound so good when Br*ndon tries to hit those high notes is because it's outside of his vocal range, so not only does it not sound good, it's also restraining to him because he's forcing himself to hit notes he shouldn't.

It is very important to find your range and to sing in it, otherwise it can be extremely damaging. Singing for long outside of your range can completly destroy your volcal chords, take as an example Axl Rose: Though in many songs, especially from Use Your Illusion up, he uses lower and more comfortable notes; for many many years he's used extremely high notes (that are characteristic of hard rock/glam metal), and now he can't get even close to how he sang before, besides the multiple health complications regarding his voice (I understand that years of drug usage also play a big part on that but still).

What I'm getting at is: singing outside of range will demage your chords AND you'll sound like shit

one of the main reasons why patrick stump always won the whole "who's a better vocalist patrick or brendon urie" debate is because patrick doesn't constantly chase high notes

patrick definitely uses a high register (i.e., novocaine, shipped gold standard, etc etc) but he also uses a lower one as well. a good song doesn't need super huge high notes. sometimes a rich bass timbre is what you need. take a song like headfirst slide. that song is (mostly) a very low song and it is BEAUTIFUL. not to mention patrick uses his high register infrequently enough that it's not tiresome to hear. you can listen to stuff like novocaine and be like wow. nice high note.

but brendon CONSTANTLY uses high notes and it's so annoying. to the point where if he hits one i don't care. i mute the song. i'll even skip it. i've even yelled at him to shut up already once.

(p.s. i think that's why pretty odd is so good, because brendon doesn't go high all the damn time on that album)

tl;dr- the mark of a good vocalist is using both your low and high register, brendon doesn't do that THEREFORE he's really not that good of a vocalist!
