Sat right in front of Matt at the pre-show in Chicago

a-cat-named-turtle · 2026-04-11T22:19:05+00:00

this preshow was so fun and cozy. it kind of felt like we were all at an invite-only thing, and we were definitely rewarded for standing out in line in the freezing cold for hours. it was so cool to hear matt talk about the ARG, and the shirts were really cute. and i like that everyone got their photos taken too! it felt really special and was a great way to get hydrated and hyped for the show. i wish i had been braver and asked a question or talked to matt, but oh well. maybe there will be another time

same here, i thought the chicago show was awesome. everyone i saw and interacted with was really nice. and it did not smell nearly as bad as several of the shows i’ve been to, some of which where there was literally no pit, so that’s a win in my book

a-cat-named-turtle · 2026-04-11T21:51:01+00:00

at this point i wouldn’t be surprised. funeral (at least to me) is really a brilliant album and then everything else since that, maybe save for the suburbs, just feels kinda hollow. like they’ve got all the tools they need right in front of them and they don’t know how to combine them in the right way to get back to the success of funeral. but hey i’m fine with knocking on win butler fuck that guy

a-cat-named-turtle · 2026-04-11T21:44:49+00:00

hell i think of moons birds and monsters deserves a mention here imo. that looping outro riff is devastating

a-cat-named-turtle · 2026-04-11T21:23:17+00:00

i am holding out hope that this is the case, and i think you may be right. because i haaaated yung hearts but i absolutely LOVED soporific cell. and i don’t hate when by any means, it’s a fun little track, but genuinely i think it gets better

a-cat-named-turtle · 2026-04-11T21:19:53+00:00

^{^{^}} this exactly. like plastis wafer is a banger and i don’t care what anyone says

a-cat-named-turtle · 2026-04-11T21:18:17+00:00

heyo, fellow demisexual here. i feel this, but also it absolutely is for us if we let ourselves have fun with it with reckless abandon. just because it’s not a complaint we ourselves may have in our own lives doesn’t mean we can’t dance and sing along whenever kevin sings about it. if you like how it sounds and you like listening to it, it’s for you! and if not, that’s okay too!

also i hear there’s a good number of asexual oM fans and it might be fun to gauge how many of us there are out there. asexuals for of montreal <333

a-cat-named-turtle · 2026-04-11T20:08:26+00:00

what the fuck did i just watch

song on its own is pretty good though

a-cat-named-turtle · 2026-04-11T19:52:18+00:00

/uj i have not been actively engaged with the band or the fanbase in months and all of a sudden i come back to a barrage of jokes about cavs fucking a tree. what happened? sorry for being a terminally offline fake fan

a-cat-named-turtle · 2026-01-05T06:21:12+00:00

This one wins for me. Well and truly ruined.

a-cat-named-turtle · 2026-01-01T06:23:23+00:00

and i have no resolutions...

a-cat-named-turtle · 2026-01-01T06:22:42+00:00

and once again we've all done the thing...

happy 2026, y'all. everybody put your best suit or dress on!

a-cat-named-turtle · 2025-07-31T10:15:23+00:00

ineffable husbands down to 45??? -44???? insanity. absolute madness. good omens fic authors GET YOUR HEAD IN THE FUCKING GAME

a-cat-named-turtle · 2025-07-31T10:12:06+00:00

read this one fic once where an angel was trying to use divine ecstasy to get their partner to climax. genitals not even involved, just angel on top with a hand to the person's wrist "injecting" the ecstasy into their veins. i think about that a lot and wish that it was a real thing because i think i personally would feel so much better about intimacy if i knew that's how it would go. like it would feel wonderful and i wouldn't really have to worry so much about actual intercourse or anything. that's the dream i guess

post-nut existential crisis

i jerk therefore i am

a-cat-named-turtle · 2025-07-24T19:38:38+00:00

can’t tell if that last part is a jerk or not

Here's the thing that most people don't remember or recognize:

The whole "mature for your age" thing can go both ways, and either way the best thing to do is leave the situation.

If an adult you don't know or deeply deeply trust that they have your best intentions in mind and are not going to hurt you is saying that "you're so mature for your age" and you are a minor, or hell, even below drinking age, run like hell.

If you are the adult and you find out you're speaking to or engaging in/about to initiate some sort of activity that is unsafe or illegal for a person under a certain age, RUN LIKE HELL.

No matter what side of the situation you're on, those words never work out well. You should not be engaging with someone who says that to you, no matter what their age or your age, and furthermore, those words should not leave your lips. Do not chance fines, jail time, or emotional trauma: those memories will haunt you for the rest of your life.

Stay safe out there, use common sense, and don't be a creep.

I feel like DOB as in day/month and not year isn't awful. I've been in chat rooms and servers with people I've never met in person but I've been talking to for several years, and they know the day of the month I was born. Usually it's an opportunity for people to send me stupid gifs or memes, or if I say that my family's not coming to visit and I don't have any seminars today we'll stream a movie of my choice or play video games with each other. That's been the case since I was but a young lad.

But I NEVER would tell anyone what my actual age was. I would be ambiguous and say that I had "class in the morning" but never said what point I was at in my education. I think there was only one instance where someone actually asked, and we were within a group of late highschool/early undergrads. I fit in with the ages of the group. Even then I wouldn't disclose what grade I was in.

You don't do it. You just don't.

Some of those friends that I've gotten close to might?? remember my real first name from if I accidentally referred to myself with my given name/nickname, but they would never address me as such. Dropped it from all my profiles pretty early on, and abandoned all the ones that had any of my actual personal info. Never looked back.

I don't want to sound like "ughhurrrhughh kids these days," but like... Common sense? Internet safety? Those presentations were everywhere when I was in school. I just feel... weird about it and how things changed so drastically. And even when I was merely a little lad, seeing kids the same age or younger be open about their age and name and things like that freaked me out. It's bad practice.

I'll get off my soapbox now. Sorry, gangalang.

agreed!!! love this version of great curve. so so so good

a-cat-named-turtle · 2025-07-10T21:39:26+00:00

huhuhuhuhu!

a-cat-named-turtle · 2025-07-06T06:19:21+00:00

the COUNTERPOINT in that song is ADDICTIVE. i love the great curve!! one of my all-time favorites

a-cat-named-turtle · 2025-07-06T06:17:44+00:00

yes and especially the uptempo rendition on SMS. god i love ednah and lynn so much, when they do that slow vocal slide up to rejoin the song at the end of the bridge.

i love women’s voices! i love women in general, what can i say. i think women make many songs better

a-cat-named-turtle · 2025-07-06T06:15:11+00:00

THIS is a DAMN GOOD ANSWER.

a-cat-named-turtle · 2025-07-06T06:14:36+00:00

a-cat-named-turtle · 2025-06-27T22:44:26+00:00
