Song Saturday: Set It Off/Waterparks

shadowhiveSo I wasn’t sure what to do for song Saturday, I considered doing Fightstar (since I found a Deathcar uncut vid) but instead I’m doing a double of Set It Off and Waterparks cause they both did things yesterday.
First is Set It Off’s Killer In The Mirror which I first watched awhile ago. It’s a bit strange, with a group of people drowning Cody in a pool and then him coming back, with the rest of the band, to exact revenge. Midnight era Cody is hot, because of the blue hair (and the smirk at the end) and wet Maxx is also Unf.
Violet! Is the latest Waterparks vid and it has its strange moments too. In some ways it follows the theme of the song (someone stalking Awsten) but it has it’s own strangeness too. Like a chameleon for some reason, or Geoff laying down surrounded by glasses, or Awsten in an ice bath.
I guess you could link the two vids as the first has wet Maxx which Violet! has wet Awsten.

Last night was the Waterparks gig and I managed to stay up for it, though I did start to feel tired during it and it was pretty good. Otto looked so cute playing drums and all smiley and I liked the lights changing the places colours.
Annoyingly though there was some issues at the start with buffering. I intended to watch the stream via the Xbox so I could watch on the tv but… nope. The first three songs were always buffering in places and I’m not sure why (from the chat it seems others had the issue). I ended up watching the rest of the show on the pad, which oddly, played perfectly fine. I’m gonna watch the songs I missed some other time but I’m not sure when,
They played the whole album and I wondered if they’d play anything else during an encore but nope. Still it was fun, despite the issues.
Today’s gonna be a lazy day (after we walk the pup early, which is why some of this post is short) and I’m gonna watch the latest Bad Batch and Raya And The Last Dragon. And the Download thing that’s on tv tonight, I hope there’s someone good on it.
I need to decide what to fill the last icon I have on here with. I have some ideas and will need to, annoyingly, go on the pad to make them. I also might work on the season of kink fic I started last night.

Day 5: Compare and/or contrast your very first fandom obsession and your very latest fandom obsession.
I’m gonna go with the first and last fandoms I wrote for, for this.
The first fandom I wrote for was the British boyband Blue. I mentioned in a song Saturday awhile back with them, but I’m pretty sure most people outside the uk have no idea who they are, but they were very important to me. They were both part of me realising I was Not Straight (thanks Duncan and Lee) and the first band that I ever wrote for (and stumbled on fic for). Yep they were the first fic I read as well as wrote, which are still up on nifty.org. (Which are hot and some I’ve read a fair few times)
The latest one is Waterparks, which I’ve kinda stumbled into very later (how had I not got into these guys sooner? Like Set It Off it’s a mystery). And they’re so pretty and 🖤 I’m excited to be seeing them live soon (hopefully) and the new album is so awesome (go listen on Spotify if you’ve not). I dunno how long this fixation will last but hopefully for a long while yet
