Tokio Hotel - Fandom-rant... And that meme...

[kseenaa]

You know what? I've been thinking back and forth about doing this post or not, but then... I just thought what the hell, and here we are.

I am disgustingly honest after all.

Warning! If you have a problem with Real People Slash though... you should probably skip this first part of the post.

That said...

WHAT THE FLYING FUCK?!??!

OK, I am DONE with shutting up. I KNOW I haven't been in the Tokio Hotel fandom as long as other fans... I KNOW I am older then most. I know! That alone makes me feel that I am not "good enough" as a fan. :-/ And now? Well I feel even more worthless as a fan.

And why, you might ask?

Because instead of being like the majority of the fandom and have a thing for reading about the twins aka reading twincest... and having Bill and Tom Kaulitz as my favorites... I, on the other hand, have a thing for reading fanfic about Georg and Gustav (with each other or one of the twins)... Georg and Gustav are my favorites.

But them G's are apparently not good enough, are they? It is SO often I feel the need the defend myself when I say that Bill is the least of my favorite in the band. It is insane! Yeah, I like him to. Of course I do! I love the entire band! But I have favorites, don't I? Everyone does. But to not put Bill or Tom at the top of the list is apparently Not OK. :-/ And if you don't, you gotta defend yourself. BAH!

Is it a wonder that in the solo-interview that Gustav did, he didn't even think any fans scream for him... Gawd, I just want to give the young man a hug. Dude, you got fans to... even though I do wonder sometimes about what some of the fans says about you and Georg... :-/ I just want to jump to your defense then, but at the same time not start a drama...

And there is the problem of it all, isn't it? Why do I have to DEFEND MYSELF for liking the G's more then the Twins? And why do I have to feel UNCOMFORTABLE saying I like the G's more then the Twins? That is just fucked up. It is THE SAME BAND! There would be no Tokio Hotel without the G's.... OR the Twins... They are a team, those four. A team and friends. Why can't all fans just.... Let everyone like whatever in the fandom, eh?

Gah!

Sorry about rambling. :-P I just had to get that off my chest. If you want to discuss in comments do, but keep it sorta civil, eh?

And here is a photo of them boys that I just rambled about.... just for the hell of it.

Uhu? My favorite birthday? Hmm... I... don't know? I like all my birthdays really. Can't say I have a favorite as such. Every fifth year is a bit extra fun, since then my HUGE extended family come in full force. Meaning there is a party for about 50 people or so... (I really do have a HUGE extended family.) So, yeah. I'd have to say every fifth year is a bit extra fun. :-) Meaning next year, when I turn 35, things will get crazy and fun again with a huge party! :-D

This is really well said :)
If the 'old' ones backed away, TH would lose half their fan base ;) i don't care how old I am compared to them. Basically it's the music, too that draws me in. Secondly the fiction.

Apart from that, I also feel that it's terribly ignorant to assume there is an understood rang order to who's popular in the band and if you don't agree you're the one to have fingers pointed at. Just because your favourite is one of the twins it doesn't mean there are less interested in the G's. But that's apparently not so.

*hugs*

Why, thank you. :-) I just wrote what was in my mind, so that you found it well said means a lot. :-D

True, I suppose. Us oldies are a part of the fandom as well, any young people just have to accept that I guess. *grins*

I know. You got what I mean just nicely. It goes both ways. If you like the twins, it doesn't mean you dislike the G's. And vice versa.

But sometimes I think there are a few fans that work just like that. :-/ Feeling that the twins is all that counts. And it is those fans that annoy the hell out of me. And there is the news, TV or when there are meet and greets.... whenever Tokio Hotel is mentioned, the G's are just an afterthought. Like the twins is all that counts, all that is important in the band. I claim this to not be true. They are just as important all four of them. They are a team and good friends. There wouldn't be any Tokio Hotel if any of them left the band, no matter who.
