Cursed by the narrative

shadowhiveSo yesterday was very... Ugh. Good thing, the eBay package comes and was right so yay. But still no sign of the postage payment I was promised.
On top of that my headache, combined with a depression wave that ended up in my spiralling over the course of the night which was ugh. It was both draining and unnecessary. It only faded when I watched an episode of The Rig but that was after midnight.
This morning I had another look for the old phone but no luck. It feels it's disappeared into a wormhole or something. I tried to use the SIM I ordered to sort the phone but it doesn't want to. It wants me to use an app which wants me to register but when I click to register it just sends me a site which says to... Download the app. It's a beyond useless cycle.
One of the reasons I dislike phones.
The first Rise Of Hellfire issue arrived and it's pretty good! Ilovr it's showing Eddie pre season 4 in two ways, both him first playing and and the then starting the season 4's year.
I also started Rise Of Icarus which I took with mf to read some. I'm hoping to get back to season 4 tomorrow unless my eyes or head betray me (in which case it's Friday).
(There is a Dom Eddie week going on that I might check out but I do wish I could've participated somehow)
I decided not to see anything in the cinema in the end. Heart eyes was too early and I waited for cap to see if the local cinema had decent weekend times but nope and by then I missed the ideal time so I didn't leave home till 3.
Of course when I got to the station the machine was closed because it always is (Up until now has been wrote on that train)
In Birmingham I just milled about a bit but I got bargains from the game outlet. I got a bunch of preorder bonus things, including postcards, a pendant, pins, a keying and an acrylic standee! All for £1 which is crazy. I hope they still have the offer to get things I couldn't get causa space (and stuff I think the venue would mean about) I'll post pics tomorrow
The time went pretty quick and I went to the venue and hour before doors open. Inside they had all the merch, including the signed Polaroids they do which was annoying cause I was about £10 short of getting one. I did get the hoodie I liked the look of but I'm still a bit annoyed about that. (If the gig was just a day later... Or the money for postage had been sent)
I'ma be so for real my anticipation for this gig wax low. When I ordered the ticket it was a so high but these past months? Man they've fucked me up so much and it's so annoying.
First support were TSS and I was unfamiliar with their game. On the second song they bewitched me with a pretty lead singer(in a skirt thing!) and a second singer singing in French! Then the third song hit and I was wrong I was familiar with them as it's a song on the Seapeekay playlist that comes up pretty regularly! But damn they put on such a great show I need to check them out
(I sense this'll be a Weathers situation)
I wanted to scurry to merch to see if there were any of their albums but the place had really filled up since they started. But they did say they were gonna be meeting people after SIO so...
By the second band amor I had moved closer to the stage, unfortunately right into the line if the rotating lights. They were pretty good despite that though and the singer was pretty crazy, going through the crowd on the last sung to sing on the bar. He also said 'Never fear the storm learn to dance in the rain' which stuck with me.
I did slip down after the set cause I needed air but there was no TSS music sadly, but there was a poster, though annoyingly I was short.
Point north were the last support and they were pretty good but my focus was suddenly so off for some reason. Cody came on for punching bag, which I knew I recognised when it started and that's why.
Set it off were last and were really good though again I had bad luck positioning wise. I was behind the tallest guy in the room and the angle to the drummers was behind the random bassists spot. It sucks being a fan of drummers.
I did get good glimpses of Maxx though and he was shirtless. He looked cute smiling, conducting with his sticks and slitting his throat with them.
Them he came from behind the kit to sing sleep when I am dead cause of cause he did. But he looked damn good. (Of course new phones camera isn't the best which sucks but) but damn the way he stalked around the stage while he sang it was👀
Cody did say we took Manchester's crown which got a cheer. They did put in a great show though and Cody was very interactive with the crowd
Though I'm so sad there wasn't any Elsewhere songs in the set, not even Skeleton. It makes me wonder if there's a reason but it still sucks.
TSS were at the merch but alas there was a queue to the door and I thought it wasn't worth trying cause of missing the train (I did get a pic with one though and the others were pretty) alas....
I feel SIO is cursed this is the second time I've seen them at this venue and the second time the trains fucked up on the return journey
And I've had to take a taxi back ugh which is an expense I didn't really need and that stress has left me tired and headachy.
I'm just gonna grab drinks, noms and meds then flop now.

Date: 2025-02-27 02:02 am (UTC)Tell me more about this Dom Eddie week?? I may or may not have written something that fits that theme, but I decided it was too . . . something to post on my Ao3.
It sucks being a fan of drummers.
I hear that. Last time I saw the Black Veil Brides in concert, the woman standing next to me mentioned CC was her favorite. So when a spot opened up in front of me during his solo, I grabbed her and said, "Here, you can see better!" because she was like a foot shorter than me. Concert etiquette! It's rare, but it still exists.

Date: 2025-02-27 09:06 am (UTC)The list is here and the collection is here hopefully whatever you have fits! I doubt I have the focus to do a fill specifically for it myself but I know I’ll do an Eddie thing at some point.
And semi related for for you on twitter shown me this last night S. I instantly thought of your comment about them doing press together cause what even is that ???
!!! Awww that’s so incredibly sweet of you to do that! 💜💜 I’m sure she loved that! CC was one of my favs too I keep meaning to listen to the newer bvb stuff but keep getting sidetracked

Date: 2025-02-27 11:43 am (UTC)Oh, okay. Yeah, the story I'm thinking of would definitely fit. I don't post smut very often anymore, because I feel like I'm bad at it, and this one I literally just wrote for myself. But, maybe. . .?
I instantly thought of your comment about them doing press together cause what even is that ???
LOL--I know. Keep going. BUT not until you're caught up, not unless you want HUGE spoilers for Jamie's character.
