YAY EXCITING! Thanks for the updates! I'm so pumped to see Bill as a junkie finally, just 'cause he's always wanted to do it and we don't get to see enough of his acting. Can't wait to see what roles the rest of the boys are playing.
I don't recognize your username btw! Which is strange for this fandom. Are you new around here or do I just have awful memory?
i'm new to the comm, and the fandom in general, but i've been following them since 2007? 08? not completely sure. and this is a fairly new journal, i came back after being away. i still really like lj for fandoms though, so i'm trying to be really active, keep stuff going:)
Ahh well welcome to the fandom!!! Happy to have you :D I agree, I really prefer LJ for fandom even though Tumblr seems to have taken over. It would be lovely to have an active comm again, so thanks for your contributions :D
Necessary questions: Favorite song? Album? Band member? Music video? General TH moment? And what country are you from? c: (you don't have to answer all of these lol)
i like tumblr for certain things, but communication isn't one of it's strong points.
favorite song? do you have a while? :) (i'm going to use english titles mostly, but if the song was originally in german, i prefer that) i can't narrow it down much, but here you go: spring nicht was the first song i heard, so it's special, feel it all, we found us, never let you down, louder than love, great day, automatic, world behind my wall, love is dead, on the edge, final day, by your side, phantomrider, love and death, pain of love, forever now, humanoid, darkside of the sun, in die nacht, hurricanes and suns, that's all i can remember!
album: probably humanoid. i think? :)
i feel bad about having a favorite but bill i'll tell you my story, i started listening to them because i saw this picture: in a hp (harry potter) friend's journal. i asked them about him (i can't remember if they were german but they were from europe) and they sent me spring nicht and, yeah :) i'm charmed by his expressiveness, and his confidence in that expressiveness. to paraphrase victor hugo, i am drawn to what i lack. i love his humongous smile, and his bounciness.
music video: probably spring nicht again. but if i'm picking a moment, this:
general th moment: i don't think i can answer that, too hard to narrow it down. i like them with their dogs, when they are smiling and having fun together. when they are silly and teasing. when they are complimenting each other and talking about their feelings about each other.
i'm from the usa, california :) bay area though, not la. near san francisco. so like, 8ish hours north of la? depending on how fast one drives. but still closer to the coast rather than central.
ok, now you have to answer! :) well, you don't have to but it would be fun, i don't have many people to talk about them with. :)
Ahh well then! My favorite songs are Wir sterben niemals aus, Humanoid, We Found Us, Love Who Loves You Back, The Heart Get No Sleep, In die Nacht, and Hey Du (which has the most plays on my whole iTunes lmao). This is trying to be conservative; I also love Never Let You Down, Totgeliebt, Human Connect to Human, Down On You, 1000 Meere, Darkside of the Sun, Jung und nicht mehr Jugendfrei, Unendlichkeit...yeah a lot of songs. ;o; Oh and ÜBERS ENDE DER WELT man that's the first song I ever heard! I always forget it because it became a bit overplayed, along with Monsoon which I also love--I just have to be in the right mood to listen to them.
My favorite album is so hard to pick! I don't have a definite one, I love them all for different reasons. Well, Schrei I'm not the keenest on--I don't dislike it either--Zimmer 483 is nostalgia punch to the gut, Humanoid is conceptually/lyrically my favorite, and Kings of Suburbia is musically my favorite.
I have to say Bill is my favorite too. :) It's just difficult to resist his charm, and now that I've seen him live I can say his presence in real life is just out of this world. He was born to be on stage. Plus just as a queer person he was very important to me in my wayward teenage years, and when they came out with this album and LWLYB I was just sooooo pleased. But of course all the guys are incredible, they all have so much personality which is more than you can say about a lot of bands, some of my own faves included. xD
My fave music video, ugh! They're all great! But if I had to pick...ÜEDW and Love Who Loves You Back. ÜEDW was my first of course, and LWLYB is just so beautiful and important and also Bill half naked surrounded by other beautiful half naked people. But yeah TH have some seriously great videos, and this era has been especially top!
I have to cheat and say my fave TH moment was seeing them live. The entire intro and then WFU was so stunning.
Ahh a U.S. fan! I'm east coast, Washington D.C. to be specific. *waves from very far away* I have friends in San Jose and they're always very adamant about not being anywhere near L.A. haha. If I drove eight hours south I would be three states away tbh!
Also if you have a Twitter, the fandom is really active there and we're always chatting about the boys! My username is the same there. :)
i do have a twitter, i shall follow you! my user name is sternassteel.
i live in san jose! i'm only adamant about it because sometimes people assume all of california is la, even though it's a fucking huge state, with a lot of different kinds of people and totally different environments. i don't hate la, but it isn't really me. it's so fast and neon. fancy and gritty.
when/where did you see them? i'm so glad for you! highlights?
it is so so gorgeous, i was very impressed.
mte, he is just so unapologetic about everything (again, so opposite of me) and it is so beautiful, so breathtaking. but yes, of course, they are all adorable goobers. i don't really pay attention to other musicians like i do th, i just listen to their music. and even with th, i didn't so much before, i just listened and watched thtv. then about a year ago i just, i dunno, maybe it's because there is a void in me of some sort, but i got heavily back into all my old fandoms and got into ones i wasn't a part of before. and i was all like "their hair *_*" meaning i loved it:) sometimes i miss georg's bb david gilmour hair: but, i love change, so i was so giddy when i saw them:)
Plus just as a queer person he was very important to me in my wayward teenage years, and when they came out with this album and LWLYB I was just sooooo pleased. hella mte!
I don't think I'd like L.A. (never been to CA properly despite being born there and having friends there, somehow) but I've resigned to my fate there lol. There is no industry in D.C. whatsoever and I don't know anyone in New York. D: I think it's funny that Bill is saying he wants to move to NYC around the time I'll probably be going to the west coast. I just want to live on the same coast as them! Then I can go to all their secret shows and stuff. :P
I saw them in Frankfurt and Zurich! We Found Us was everything, THGNS and DSOTS were also amazing live. I get the live versions stuck in my head all the time. Other highlights: chatting with them a little bit at the M&G and meeting lots of lovely fans. :) The show was everything though. Probably the best show I'll ever see in my life, I'm also resigned to this. xD
I love change too, I get excited any time they change their hair or get new tattoos haha, even if I don't like the actual cuts/tats. Are you a water sign? lol >__> I don't have any other fandoms like TH, I have tried dabbling but there's just something about TH that really grabs you. I think it's a mixture of their personalities and the closeness of the fandom, idk. I still participate in other fandoms, go to cons and the like, but TH are my one true love forever. <3
AHA I WAS GONNA ASK IF YOU WERE CANCER but I changed it to "water" cause that's more general. Yep, cancers are water signs! We love change. :D (also a cancer!)
I was born in New Port Beach. My dad was on an extended business trip and my mom was pregnant with me so the whole family flew over there for just a few months. I think I would prefer NYC to LA but honestly I'm not huge on NYC either so maybe I'll be proved wrong when I finally see LA. In reality I think I'd like Boston or Seattle but I've never been either places.
Let's see, right now I'm quite into Steven Universe, although I'm very much a lurker in that fandom, have yet to contribute anything. I've done a bit of fanart for Legend of Korra but the series is over now so fandom is a bit dead. I really was into Lady Gaga for a bit but recently stopped following her as much. And I really like comics, particularly Marvel, I go to all the movie premieres and cosplay and all that. :D
Do you have any other fandoms besides HP and TH? c:
hmm, lotr/the hobbit, outskirts of in the flesh, les miserables (mostly book, but the musical too and the movie helped) the fringes of welcome to nightvale (mostly because of dylan marron)
and i like conrad ricamora from how to get away with murder, but i don't really like the show. i don't much like tv, and i'm very picky about movies. book fandoms are where it's at for me.
I actually was not aware of Dylan Marron but through my googling he seems like an all right dude, and he's very handsome. :O I watch a good bit of TV and I love HP and THG, but bandom is my favorite because they're real people and bands (at least TH) tend to last a long ass time. I'm hardcore about my love haha, some people just jump from movie to movie but I need a longterm commitment. I think books are kinda similar though because they tend to have a longer life than say movies or TV, and you're always getting new adaptations of them.
Followed! My tumblrs are ephemeralcat and unicorns-of-suburbia. First is my main, second is my sideblog :)
we shall celebrate together that week, if you are not too busy seeing more th. you shall have to share your experiences fully so i can pretend i'm there.
i should have introduced him instead of just dropping his name: dylan is a queer, brown, vegan who is engaged to a disney prince look alike: https://instagram.com/p/uVyTbzIirJ/?taken-by=dylanmarron ! :) he is a new york neo futurist, he was in a web series called whatever this is: http://whateverthisis.com/ and he has guest starred in and directed another web series called eat our feelings: http://www.eatourfeelings.com/ and he is sweet and adorable and so so good hearted.
exactly, like, even after the movies, if it came from a book, it wont completely die out.
