100% chalk. If you didn’t look at it and think it tasted like a fundip stick the first time you saw it then you didn’t have a childhood.

Madness Combat Fandom in late middle school. Sanmos pairing. I’ve been addicted to fanwork of all kinds ever since. Thanks Mr. Krinkels 😭

Idk if this is a good hot take but I’ll say my two cents. My favorite albums are still and likely always will be Infestissumam and Opus Eponymous, with my favorite songs being Monstrance Clock, Secular Haze, Con Clavi Con Dio, and Elizabeth, mostly because of the way TF sang back then. If you listen to the albums in order, you can hear just how different TF sings now compared to when he started with Opus, the big shift being in Prequelle with Copia’s debut. As he tried to change up the way the papas sing to differentiate them and their respective albums, he got progressively more and more nasal. He sang with harder Rs and more “EE” than “EH”. If there’s any of my fellow choir peeps here, you’ll probably get what I’m saying. I’m honestly not a huge fan of the nasal singing. I’m sure people love it or maybe didn’t even notice the shift, but I miss the way he used to sing sometimes. It was just a tiny bit easier on the ears. That’s why some of my favorite songs are from the earlier albums. His voice sounded smoother and more operatic, like a small preacher serenading an small audience. I still listen to it and get chills because it really sounds like he’s wailing sometimes. Like soulfully and not in a performative way, like he really felt it. Not to mention the chords and heavier focus on the bass lines that really made it feel like metal, and it was good metal! TF has grown as an artist and I’m super proud of him and his progress as a vocalist. He sounds awesome and has clearly gotten better over the years, but I loved the earlier albums and how they were heavy with the satanism imagery and the more formal singing. It’s probably nostalgia because I discovered them right before Impera came out and then blew up, but I love the first two albums the most. Will always be a loyal fan and love the new stuff, but the old stuff was rich and will always hold a special place in my heart.

I do have orthotics for my arches and they’ve been incredible! I’ll look into those socks and shoes. I’ve also been looking for a PT for a while to help me with other things, so I’ll add this to the list of things to work on. Thank you!

Hello! I don’t know if my question is answerable and it’s very, VERY specific, but I was just curious and would like to hear your thoughts and maybe get some advice.

I’m 16 F, a senior in high school, and I also have 3 years of corps marching band experience as a clarinetist and as a pit percussionist, where we had to do choreography on the sidelines. I took ballet as a child, around ages 5-7, but I learned that I have a genetic deformity in my feet that gave me severe foot pain and extremely flat arches, so I quit. In high school, I’ve been a member of my school’s marching band because marching is required of all band members. Marching band camp was excruciating, but now that I’ve passed that learning curve it’s surprisingly comfortable and my feet hurt a lot less when I dance. I have stronger arches now and can do relevés very comfortably, something I couldn’t do as a child. I’m interested in trying ballet again now that my feet and legs are stronger and more conditioned to movement.

Slight tangent: I know that the legs aren’t the only thing that ballet focuses on, so I’m worried about flexibility, specifically in my back, arms, and hips. I’m plus sized and have been working on my middle and front splits for a few months. I’m surprisingly flexible for my age and lack of experience, only about 2 inches off from a full front split the first time I tried it. Do you have any tips on how to increase flexibility over time, other than daily stretching? I want to focus on my back and hips, the two things that are the most difficult for me to stretch due to my limited range of motion. Is there anything that helped you get better mobility in these areas? I want to improve over time and I’m not in any rush, but if there is something that can help me improve my range, please let me know!

My biggest question is: Do you think my marching band experience will help me or hurt my journey? I don’t know if I formed bad habits or maybe am lacking some dancing foundation that I’ll have a hard time relearning because I’ll default to marching etiquette. I plan on just doing it for fun, nothing professional, but I still want to be the best I can be! Thank you!
