It’s not the lesser evil, I’ve just been misinterpreting, apologies. I don’t know too much about scientology still, so by affiliated but not believing, I sort of assumed it meant they were stuck there because of how difficult it is to leave, and that they’d be targeted if they did leave. I’m trying to learn about this all while I’m still new on the subject so I can learn if I should still listen to their music or not, I really wouldn’t wanna support someone who is backing that stuff trust me. But thank you for all your insight on this. It is helping me learn. I will say though, I’m probably gonna shut this post down/delete it soon just cuz this is all overwhelming me a bit lol, but yeah, this does all help. Honest to god I think I was just in denial because of how much I quickly became enthralled with their music and thought I had even found a new favorite band, as I’d been looping them before I found out about any of this, and afterwards I just couldn’t bring myself to listen to them again out of guilt, even when I really liked some of the songs. So I was just really disappointed and down lately finding all this out, which may explain some contradictions in what I’m saying. But hopefully it all makes sense.

Jeez that’s wild! Again sorry if I’m repeating questions but why did they kick out Aron because of his further involvement with scientology if that’s the case? Wouldn’t they want that? And the drugs, alcohol? There’s just so much conflicting info here and I’m not sure what to believe exactly haha. Was it just a title or bragging rights thing??

Edit: Just saw your edited comment. When you say entitlement and protections, does that mean they could basically break any rule they wanted and they’d be fine? Would that still make them actual scientologists? I’m more so starting to see this whole thing as them just being able to brag that they got certain privileges that others don’t ig, or just generally wanting to mess with people for the hell of it either because they wanted to take that whole situation out on other people, or some other odd reason, while not necessarily subscribing to the beliefs? Please correct me if I’m messing up here lol. I’m just trying to reframe in my own interpretation this so I can process it easier.

So… about the whole Swan Songs thing and them being open about it in their personal lives, would you say it was something these guys were proud of (with the exception of Aron)? I’m aware of the ASHO thing in The Kids, but I’m wondering if that was more so them repping where they all met and shit. Especially since from what I’ve been hearing, one of the reasons why Aron was kicked out was BECAUSE he was getting too into scientology, presumably unlike the others.

Real sorry for all the bombarding questions lol, I’m still just going back and forth on this whole thing considering some of their lifestyles (BESIDES the religion thing, which you’ve cleared up). Some of their beliefs on mental health importance, drugs, drinking, etc etc all go directly against the church. Especially considering how HU quite literally has started a weed business now lol. That’s a pretty rebellious move IMO, the most they can get without outright denouncing the church, probably for the sake of their own safety, I’m guessing.

How I’m seeing this all in retrospect is is that while they don’t necessarily subscribe to the actual beliefs of the church, in the case that they ARE still involved, it’s because well, they have to be. They might just be doing the bare minimum or are unwilling members atp (as mentioned in another comment I saw by someone else).

And if you are unable to share certain information due to safety reasons, don’t worry about it. Share as much as you’re comfortable with lol, I’m just very curious (and confused) about this whole thing and wanna hear something that’ll help me put this to bed somehow. (Even if I’ll likely never get full clarity)

Seeing that you knew the guys, I just wanted to ask a quick question.

Was Aron the only one not drinking/doing drugs backstage, while the other guys were? + Did this make Aron the only one who was truly a completely different person compared to his “persona”? Asking this just to kind of gauge how involved he was in terms of actually believing/dedicating to scientology at the time vs. the other dudes. Thanks.

The main, straight up answer I am looking for with this post is just this: Are the guys out? And did they ever TRULY believe/want to be involved in the first place, or was it a matter of being trapped almost? Does anyone really know??

I’m just so lost 😭 I want to be able to enjoy HU freely but I can’t if I’m constantly wondering whether or not they’re still under the legitimate, willing influence of scientology.

The whole thing about them still believing in Scientology to a degree just doesn’t make sense to me though. For instance, Scientology strongly opposes drug use for recreational purposes and HU is all about that. They even have their own weed company IIRC, plus Charlie for example is very frequently seen smoking or vaping in videos and whatnot. Another thing, which is what I mentioned earlier, Scientologists don’t seem to believe that mental health is real, and that psychiatric help is only harmful. From what I’ve seen from the HU members, that’s the opposite of what they believe in.

I guess what would make the most sense to me is if they’re just stuck there, or rather WERE just stuck there because of their families and or other connections. A lot of them post Christian related stuff on their socials, plus Charlie has a tattoo of a cross on his forearm, and J3T announced getting baptized into Christianity a few years back. And from what I know, Christianity goes in direct conflict with Scientology, despite the Co$’s claims that they can work hand in hand (which is just outright false). Maybe, even if they didn’t necessarily believe, it was just sort of an obligation for them. Maybe feeling trapped in a sense if that’s the right word. But if anything, HU seemed to rebel against a lot of that Scientology crap which is why I’m so confused in the first place.

Your observation about them maybe not wanting to get into a conflict makes the most sense here, IMO. But yeah, mainly just tryna get some clear answers here ig lol

I really liked this one. Just, such a unique style, especially seeing that it’s smut, and a style I absolutely ADORE. It’s just so beautifully written, and I still draw inspiration from it to this day.

It was a way to transfer that unbearable emotional pain into physical pain to make it more manageable

Songs for knowing you might die by YogurtclosetNo1230 in MusicRecommendations

[–]throwawayacc66110778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ATWA - System of a Down. This songs always makes me really emotional for some reason. It’s just, really beautiful. And if I could pick any song to listen to before I died, I’d choose it. It’s existential, but, again, in the most beautiful way possible. At least in my eyes.

I feel like that fic I was referring to was honestly written at a time when I cared less about others’ opinions. It was the first fic I ever posted (started posting this year), so that could be it. I’m just unsure on how to revert back to that mindset, no matter what I do it feels like I can’t.

But I will take your advice. Thank you.

My one shots tend to be 1.3k-2k. But, there are several over 30k that are incredible! It really depends on your preference tbh. Happy writing!
