That little squeak Amanda makes when you stun her with a pallet… reblog if u agree

EXCUSE ME WHAT THE FUCK?!

I love that she is exposing the ugly stuff that goes on in washington. This is why the politicians hate her so much but the people love her.

What was that bit about “draining the swamp” again?

PSA: If your blog is stuck in explicit mode

You can edit the settings page to change it.

This is my naughty blog right now. Notice how the icon is that snazzy default thing?

That’s because it’s set to explicit, a setting that was locked after the great purge:

BUT

If you right-click on that toggle and click “inspect element”, you can change that.

Notice how the input tag has a disabled attribute? Just remove that whole attribute - specifically disabled=“disabled”:

The toggle is now active

And toggleable

And now, after a quick refresh, my old (crap, but real) icon and header image are back, and the blog is no longer treated as hidden or explicit.

The goggle also disappears after the refresh, but it’s worth noting that you can also edit the toggle back into the settings panel and change your blog back to explicit if you so desire.

This is a perfect example of the laziness of tumblr’s devs. They haven’t removed the functionality, they’ve just kinda-sorta hidden it a bit; the end-point that the explicit toggle hits is still there.

My blog got restored a couple hours after I sent in an appeal, but if that doesn’t work for you hopefully this will. Spread the word before they “fix” it!

I think this is a good time to post this.

(#if we reblog it enough it might become a staff pick)

Keep it up.

Remind them what they are losing 

Miriam and Tyler have been cosplay mainstays of many Pony conventions and a relentless source of Friendship and positivity in the fandom for years, and last weekend Tyler was planning to propose marriage. Instead they got a call that their house had burned flat to the ground. They’ve lost everything, from priceless family heirlooms to their beloved dogs, there’s just nothing left and now they’re homeless at what should have been the happiest time of their lives.

These are genuinely good people, they’ve made this fandom a much brighter place and absolutely do not deserve this kind of horrifying tragedy. Dustykatt has set up a GoFundMe page so they can at the very least have some money to find a place to live and pay for daily necessities; please, please go donate something, whatever you can spare to help them at a terrible time, and show them that Friendship really is Magic.

Article 13, Another “save the internet” thing.

I legit could NOT find a video or post about this subject that was not super-cringey. 

So I’ll just say it plainly.

In Europe, “Article 13″ will make user-generated content exponentially more difficult to create, since it will give copyright holders absolute control over all intermediary platforms, such as youtube/tumblr/twitter. 

So google “article 13″ and sign whatever petition/phone your MEP/reblog whatever posts to spread awareness.

If it goes through in Europe (IT IS IN THE FINAL STAGES OF VOTING), you can damn well bet the money-smoking slimebags in the rest of the world will rapidly follow suit.

Oh, and if I get purged soon after posting this, we’ll know who Tumblr is in bed with.

Guys if you get a similar message PLEASE DONT CLICK THE LINK

It’ll make your device vulnerable to being hacked

At CrossBones Graveyard, the unconsecrated mass burial ground for sex workers, the poor, and those who took their own lives is now marked by a beautiful garden and lovingly tended to by caretakers who see it as a sacred space. There are also clergy who do regular services of remembrance, regret, and reconciliation to apologize for the wrongs of the church and to honor the dead. There are no headstones here but there are flowers and bees and healing herbs and pilgrims who come from all over to pay their respects to the outcast dead of London.

What a fucking joke this world has become.

All About “It’s Almost Halloween” (Masterpost)

Ever since Panic at the Disco dropped their iconic Halloween anthem in the fall of 2008, fans have been burning with questions: Why did they decide to do a Halloween song? Why did they dress up as monsters? Who are the people at the Halloween party? Who directed the music video?

It turns out that, contrary to popular belief, there are answers to all of these questions and more, lurking just out of sight of the mainstream fandom. But with some digging, they inevitably reveal themselves.

PART 1: The Song

I think we can all agree that only Panic at the Disco would write an ominous-sounding surf rock jam about hooking up with a stranger, thinly disguised as a Halloween song. Even the rather offbeat idea of a “Halloween song” in the first place is perfectly aligned with Panic’s spooky, mysterious, costumey image.

The boys of P!atD would seemingly agree with this statement, as confirmed in a recent Rocksound interview with Spencer Smith:

A Halloween song does make perfect sense for the band’s aesthetic (which is also undoubtedly why they had previously covered “This Is Halloween” in 2006).

According to the same interview with Spencer, there were a few more reasons why the band wrote “It’s Almost Halloween”:

But when did they write it?

The answer lies in the now-defunct Tumblr account of Ryan Ross and Jon Walker: weresoblogging.com. The blog may be long gone, but someone thankfully stored most of it in the Internet Archive, also known as the Wayback Machine, where it can still be read and accessed today.

Sometime between October 9 and October 22 of 2008, either Ryan or Jon made a mysterious post with only two words:

So while we cannot pinpoint the date definitively, the song was definitely written before in early-to-mid October.

The whole process of writing and recording the song was rather hurried, and a bit slapdash, as the boys were trying to do everything while on tour, even, as Spencer mentions, using bathrooms as their recording studio at times.

Unsurprisingly, it didn’t take them very long to write, record, film, and release the whole thing. As Spencer said, the process of recording to shooting the video only took “a week to 10 days.”

Speaking of the video…

PART 2: The Video

The video for “Its Almost Halloween” is Iconic and one of Panic’s best music videos. Its quirky, upbeat, and feels like a funny home video—which is kind of what it is.

Not a lot about the production of the video is known, in general. The director of the video is absent from the Wikipedia page, and there are no other credits for those who worked on the video outside of the band.

However, with a little bit of sleuthing with our old friend, the Wayback Machine, we can see that the boys did it all: the camera work, costumes, choreography, everything, entirely by themselves.

This was posted before Halloween on weresoblogging:

So, the boys did it all themselves, but how? Let’s start with the basics, such as: where did they film the video?

According to the recent Spencer interview, the forested parts of the video was filmed in Defiance, Missouri:

Interestingly enough, this was also where Jon and Ryan wrote The Young Veins song “Defiance”, after they were inspired by seeing the name of the song printed on a bridge. This shows the artistic mindset that Ryan and Jon were in during this time that eventually turned into the jangly, 60′s-ish, surf-rock sound of The Young Veins.

(You can also tell this was around the same time as the “It”s Almost Halloween” video because of Spencer’s silly mustache.)

The other location that was featured in the video, the costume party, was filmed in the band’s dressing room, which was suitably decorated. The people in those scenes were actually the other bands they were on tour with and their friends:

As for the decorations, they were actually provided by fans! Jon and Ryan put out an S.O.S. on their Tumblr looking for people to bring Halloween decorations and stuff to their October 19th concert in St. Louis, MO. Here is the actual post;

At this point, they only needed costumes and choreography.

Speaking of costumes, where did the costumes come from and how did they pick them? Well, again, Spencer has an answer:

Curiously, it appears that three of the four specific monsters may not have been completely random, as they reference a recurring nightmare from Ryan’s childhood:

This revelation, only a month or so after “It’s Almost Halloween” (which he later references in the same article), makes the choice of costumes for Ryan’s three bandmates much more intriguing.

Now, how about those sickening dance moves?

When we first began writing this article in early October 2018, it was completely unknown as to who choreographed the video—although we were going to speculate that Brendon (who had the most dance experience and seemed the most at ease in the video) probably had the biggest influence.

Then, Spencer’s interview was released, which clarified things somewhat and made our jobs ten times easier overall.

The finished video went live on the internet just in time for Halloween, and was of course plugged on weresoblogging:

PART 3: The Show

On the night of October 31, 2008, Panic at the Disco ascended the stage in Fairfax, VA dressed in their costumes from the video and surprised all the fans by replacing “We’re So Starving” and “Nine in the Afternoon” in their setlist with “It’s Almost Halloween”.

The process of recording “It’s Almost Halloween”, filming the video, and performing it live was apparently a surreal experience for Ryan:

The show must not have left a lasting impact on Spencer, however, because he interestingly forgot that they ever performed “It’s Almost Halloween” live (as we pointed out in a previous post): 

Funnily enough, a certain Mr. Jon Walker also noticed this discrepancy and helpfully, but bluntly, pointed it out to Spencer:

And Spencer himself has since issued a retraction:

So, that is all settled!

PART 4: Looking Back

“It’s Almost Halloween” is now 10 years old, and its still as fresh and beloved by the fandom as it was when it first came out. Ryan and Brendon haven’t said anything recently about the song, but Jon and Spencer have spoken about it. This is what Spencer has had to say :

Jon hasn’t said much, as he’s been in the recording studio, but he’s been retweeting fan covers of the song and even made this tweet calling for the song to be put on Spotify:

“It’s Almost Halloween” is an absolute gem of a song and video, and both gleam beautifully in all of their hokey, spoopy glory. We Mods can say, with all honesty that it is one of our favorite songs in the entirety of the Panic! oeuvre.

HOW DARE YOU SUCKER PUNCH ME WITH THIS IMAGE RIGHT AFTERWARDS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

the legend of the Bakeneko is important to fully understand this!! The legend says that if a cat lives a very very long life, its tail will slowly split into two, and it will reach the status of a minor god!! … the downside is that its spirit will inevitably outlive its owners, whose spirits will move on to the afterlife, and without anyone to leave food offerings for it, it will become an angry and vengeful beast that haunts its home. This man has two bakeneko following him. two cats that were well cared for and lived long lives, who now watch over him.

I wasn’t familiar with this particular myth, it’s really fucking cool!
