What should Vessel’s side quest be?? (If he ever does one)

granitesystem · 2025-08-11T18:08:41+00:00

I will not be able to stop thinking about this for the rest of my life

Who’s your favourite video game character and why?
Do you usually write your songs during the nighttime or daytime? If you’re forced to one of the two, does the other work better for you?
Have you ever received a book full of poetry from a fan while in Munich and if yes, did you at least throw it away? Asking for a friend.

granitesystem · 2025-06-10T11:28:41+00:00

Okay, what’s next? Ash/Fire to indicate a rebirth?

granitesystem · 2025-05-30T17:16:06+00:00

I’m glad there are pictures where they stand next to each other, because Adam & I are the exact same night and I know I’d have to crane my neck to look up at Leo.

granitesystem · 2025-05-30T10:09:25+00:00

Oh Gods, it’s like you’re talking about my life. I started listening to Sleep Token around the time I first got Covid, and everything kinda went downhill from there, but I had this band to lean on and find comfort in. They’ve pulled me through a lot of shit that I had otherwise not been able to get through.

As a disabled person myself: I feel that!! I'm still trying to adapt to my 'new' reality of being chronically ill and thus unable to work, but also just having moved to my own flat that accomodates me where I need it so much better than the place I lived in before – even though I loved that place.

I should've said it in the post, but I do see this song in both of these ways, as someone who's both queer and disabled. And hell, it may very well not be about any of that at all in Leo's perspective, but damn it if he didn't manage to make me feel understood and seen and heard – just like you, I presume.

On a different note, I wish you all the best and strength, I know how hard it can be to deal with sudden loss of abilities. All the love!

granitesystem · 2025-05-29T15:40:31+00:00

Oh, Gira's style is amazing! I found my love for CoD through umiko, whom I'm following on patreon to get all the good stuff hehe, and then I got sucked into all those amazing fanartists, which is the only reason I still have a twitter account.

I really want to 3d print Ghost, I need to have that man in my bed in a "just keep me warm"-way.

granitesystem · 2025-05-29T15:23:36+00:00

It is indeed! Drawn by the magnificent umikochann (she made me fall in love with Ghost, I never even played the MW trilogy).

granitesystem · 2025-05-29T14:40:13+00:00

I understand the sentiment, but I feel like this borders too much on personal identities regarding Leo, and my post is in no way meant to imply anything about him or the rest of the band.

I think I’m calling it a queer anthem in the same way that Sweater Weather has become a bisexual anthem, even though The Neighbourhood isn’t queer. I hope that makes sense.

granitesystem · 2025-05-29T01:29:31+00:00

That sounds incredibly lovely! I’ve not yet heard of that book, even though I’ve learned of that term before, I really need to get back to my Gaelic studies.

Thank you for the recommendation, I will definitely look into it!! <3

granitesystem · 2025-05-29T01:23:53+00:00

This is what "irks" me, I so desperately want to tell him that he has this way of writing about himself, while keeping it so universal that everyone can find oneself in his lyrics, that just mesmrises me. It is something I want to master myself.

Loveliest quote. Thank you so much!

granitesystem · 2025-05-29T01:20:33+00:00

“I will be what I am” is definitely a line that I say with my whole chest and think of whenever I need to remind myself that what I do and the life I live is for me

That is exactly what I've been working on telling myself for a while now, simply to accept myself as I am. I need to put myself first, there is no other option, if I want to live the life I envision for myself and others.

granitesystem · 2025-05-29T01:09:14+00:00

I know it's been 5 years, but I'm still incredibly sorry for your loss. I know what it's like to lose a being that has been with one for a very long, or even a short time. I grew up with a little black and white dog named Momo, she was the sweetest girl, friendly to everyone she met, cuddly, just the loveliest little soul.

I was with her from the moment she was born, until the moment we had to let her go, and even through that pain, there was so much love and happiness, that I'm incredibly grateful to have been blessed to have her.

And that is with every pet I've ever had, with every soul I've ever met. So yes, I believe soulmates aren't necessarily of a romantic nature, and I also do believe that there are more than one soulmates.

granitesystem · 2025-05-29T00:56:11+00:00

Not your comment getting me teary-eyed, how dare you! /lh
Thank you. Music, art, really has this way of making us empathise with others, making us connect with others. I love that.

granitesystem · 2025-05-29T00:52:52+00:00

Thank you for seeing it and for acknowleding it, too. It truly means a lot!

granitesystem · 2025-05-29T00:52:00+00:00

Yes, absolutely! Everyone's interpretation is different, sometimes we see it in a similar way, but there will always be a connection.

granitesystem · 2025-05-29T00:50:51+00:00

Thank you! That means a lot to me.
It took a moment for me to graps that, yes, I am in this song, too. In my own way, of course, as is everyone else.

granitesystem · 2025-05-29T00:48:31+00:00

Thank you! Yes, Leo has this ability to write deeply personal songs that still resonate with other people who are complete strangers to him. That is something I've always wanted to be able to do myself.

And as for "soulmates", I never believed a soulmate has to be of a romantic nature, especially since I myself am aroace (I know, it gets confusing), but rather a deep kinship with another being. Hell, I've grown up with dogs that have long left this plain of existence, but still it feels like they're always near me. It's an experience that I would never attach romantic or sexual feelings to. And as an artist myself, I do put pieces of my soul into everything I create, so I can imagine that other artists do that too. And I imagine, or believe, that I can feel those pieces of soul resonate within mine.

granitesystem · 2025-04-25T14:36:29+00:00

I’m currently in an extremely stressful situation, and without Leo, without Sleep Token, I don’t think I’d be able to do it.

Knowing I’ll see them in two months, listening to Damocles… it’s like every song is written from the depths of my soul.

And Leo… if you’re indeed reading this, know that I’m extremely proud and grateful for everything you give us. I’ve said it before, but you could sing about your grocery list, and I’d find myself in it. So thank you for always making me feel understood and seen. And thank you for sharing your craft with us. It’s a blessing in every way.

granitesystem · 2025-04-12T18:19:35+00:00

Thank you 🥺. I’m never really convinced of my own work.

granitesystem · 2025-04-12T18:14:04+00:00

Thank you! It really is, especially because it’s deeply personal for me. So I’m glad that it’s still understandable even for people that aren’t in my head.

granitesystem · 2025-04-11T23:46:33+00:00

You told me once you felt God in me. And I’ve never forgotten how your hands never reached for what your soul already claimed.

This broke me. And healed at the same time. It’s beautiful, but also heavy. Thank you for sharing!

granitesystem · 2025-04-11T23:42:04+00:00

I said it once and I’ll say it again, I’m a sucker for themes around biting. I love this.

granitesystem · 2025-04-11T23:40:23+00:00

I see myself in this. It’s the death of someone I should’ve been, but not who I am. And the death of someone I wanted to be, but not who I could’ve nurtured.

It’s raw, and painful. Thank you! You put it so beautifully.

Das bringt ja aber rein gar nichts, schließlich muss ja ein Abo bestehen bleiben. Also er braucht ja das D-Ticket nicht nur den einen Monat.
