Porny books and TH rant...

[kseenaa]

Wait, what? Why haven't I seen these books before, dammit!
Pornbooks & Librarians
And why don't we have anything like it in the library when we have Marquis De Sade, Pauline Réage and Marguerite Duras??? I mean, COME ON! (Also, note self, having read books by the other two, I NEED to read a book by the good Marquis to....)

Anyway, enough of books. I'll just rant a bit about the boys. Yes, those boys from Tokio Hotel. Not interested? Move along. :-P

I've kept my mouth shut, because I have both G's lovers and Twin lovers on my f-list... And you know what? That's cool! :-) They are all four very different boys, so there is some eyecandy for everyone. One of their strengths as a band, I think. And a reason they have so many fans. :-)

And yes. Them fans. For gawds sake. Calm yo tits, plx! *shakes head*



As always I am sitting in the freaking middle. :-P Yes, I agree. The Twin app is somewhat amusing at times. The twins are. *shrug* But, I can't help but compare the app to what I read on a daily basis on Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee's twitters... Private photos, videos... (I have seen Nikki Sixx take a dump in full onstage regalia... I survived.) They post news about music... Reposts their friends... Discuss family... Tease each other over Twitter... Sound familiar? That is pretty much what the twins do on their app. So amusing as it is, I have to wonder... Why the app? Why? And why an app that not all of the fans, their beloved Aliens can even use? :-/ I am just... Not quite OK with that. I am sorry.

And then there is the silence of the G's. Yes, yes... As soon as one mentions that one misses the G's on a community, board, forum or such you get bombarded that you just complain. :-P I miss them, yes. But I am also mature enough to know that they don't enjoy the limelight quite as much as the twins do. (Although I sometimes wonder what it costs the twins...) I hope Georg and Gustav enjoy their time off from fans, paparazzi and stalkers. I really do.

And then there is the fans (are they?) that claim Tokio Hotel is going to break up. What? I've seen it sooo many times on Tumblr now I am just... Bah. And now it trickles in on LJ to. My gosh. Unless we hear ANYTHING from the boys themselfs, there is nothing true to it. So please, for the love of anything, stop spreading the negativity. :-/

I'll just end this rant with Georg.




Only two years ago. Have two years really changed that much? I doubt it.

Rant over. :-)

On happier news, two of my prompts for the FQF has been taken! :-D WOW! Never thought that would happen. :-) Especially the odd pairing and the emo one... Colour me surprised! :-D

Now off to post to gs_daily! :-)

I'm so with you on this! I mean, come on, everyone who been a fans for a while has heard those rumors, not even the magazines are interested anymor (They did write about that the first...two? years,) And you know what I think about the G/K dynamic in interviews.... I thought about that the other day, when Bill (who else?) talked in the TH call about what he liked to do in his free time and he put being with Gustav and Georg and being with friends in seperat catagories, something that Georg and Tom found amusing. But I hear more to it, I truly believe that Bill puts Georg and Gustav in a catagory that is more than friends, something more important than the others. Or then some fan asked what he and Tom bought for christamas for eachother and Bill repyed that they doesn't by presents, that it is a band thing. I think it is so natural for Bill/Tom/Gustav/Georg to think of them as a unit, like brothers (even if it mostly Gustav that talkes in terms of brothers) that the anwers, that some fans reacted to, was completely natural for him. Sure, the album might take some time, and who knows, it might even be a longer gap between this and the album after, some of them might do something on their own while others starts familys and so on. But it doesn't mean the end of Tokio Hotel, it doesn'e mean that they are less important to each other, it just means that everything has it's own time and place and that it will be just fine in the end, I'm sure of that. And I LOVE that gif. And then it comes to twins/gg fans... I'm a Tom girl, but most of all, and always, a TH fan :)

Awwwwwwww! That was beautiful and made me feel all mushy :D I don't think the band is going to break up, but I have been feeling a little discouraged and emo about the band lately, and this made it all better. So thank you! :D

[iamkaa.livejournal.com]

Naw, Glad it did, and I really do feel and believe that :)

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

That, my dear friend.... was just down right beutiful how you wrote that. Damn. Just... damn...

Don't have the VIP call, so I didn't know Bill had said this. (Only heard one or two calls, I think...) But it does make sense. It does. Considering how long they've known each other and how much they've gone through together. Yeah. It makes sense that even though Bill and Tom are a unit in and on themselves, they see Georg and Gustav as brothers to. And vice versa. :-) When Gustav call the other three brothers... Well, I just downright melt.

If I had to pick between the twins, I'd pick Tom to... But yeah. Very much a G's girl here. :-) And I say both, because I just can't pick between Georg and Gustav. It is IMPOSSIBLE!

First and foremost though, as you say... Fan of Tokio Hotel. :-)

[iamkaa.livejournal.com]

You know, if you listen to Bill (oh, it happens he says new things, it's rare, but it do happen...okay... has happend....a few times....) anyway, if you listen to him, most of the time he says "us" he talks about the whole band, and use "Tom and I" about the to of them, I think this twin unit is even stronger among fans than it is for the boys some of the times.

Oh, but I understand you, it's hard to pick one, and I just don't understand why so may assume you shall pick Tom or Bill /Georg or Gustav? Yes, I'm a Tom girl, has been for years, but Georg is close.... and Gustav some days. Bill reminds about my sister, do I have to say more? I other words; not interesting for me. Not at all LoL And that must be okay. I love them as a band, I like Bill too, as a songer of the band, but you don't need to want to sleep with them because you like their music, right? :)

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Oh, I think the fans read more into the twin-bond to then what is there in reality. But don't say that loudly or we'll get twincest-fans down our throuts. ;-) *lol* They are definitely a a team, a unit. Brothers, really. :-)

I like Bill as well, I guess... I like his fierceness and his fuck all attitude when it comes to his look. He does what he wants when he wants it. I do respect that a lot. :-) But it is the steady calmness, the smirks and the intense eyes of the G's that holds me in an iron-grip. If you throw in Tom in the mix, it is just a bonus. ;-) He can rile those G's up like no other it seems, having been hunted with this and that by both Gustav and Georg!

Sometimes I just feel like spamming fandom with G stuff just to annoy certain people. Especially those who don't seem to understand that missing them does not mean I don't get that they like their privacy. Sometimes it feels like going on and on and on about the twins is fine where as if you speak a little too much about the Gs then it becomes annoying.

And Georg is forever causing me to melt. Or explode depending xD

(And I don't think I mentioned I really like this layout of yours.)

[thilia.livejournal.com]

THIS. Exactly. All of it. *nods*

LET'S SPAM, THEN, SHALL WE??? XD

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Ha ha ha! :-D Well, why not have a spamming day, eh? That COULD be amusing. ;-)

And yes. Hellz to the yes. I do respect their need for privacy. I really do. But damn if I don't miss them to.

I am, to be honest, damn impressed by them to. Both have managed to keep their girlfriends hidden and away from photos and fans. Georgs longtime girl, and didn't Gustav have one at one point to?

[hexenhasel.livejournal.com]

Amen sista - and wonderful use of the Tangled gif :D

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

He he he... Haven't seen Tangled, but when I saw that gif I was all... 'Hey, wait a minute....' and this post was born. :-) I have seen plenty posts like it, so I guess I am not alone in feeling this way. Interestingly, it is mostly fans that are somewhat of an older age that does feel like this... I guess the younger fans are to busy with the app, eh? *smirk*

Oh... Wait... Was I mean now? *wicked grin*

[thilia.livejournal.com]

Agree completely with everything :D

Also, LOL at those librarian books XD

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

I am actually surprised to see that so many agrees with me. I was almost prepared to get spammed by pissed off people since everything here is unlocked. :-P But then again, those that are actually on my flist have a good head on their shoulders... So there is that. I've seen more posts like this, and most of those saying sorta the same thing... are fans of that are off a bit older age... Interesting, ain't it? ;-)

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, Twitter would have made a hell of a lot more sense. Agreed on all accounts. Just look at all the celebraties that are on Twitter and what they share with their fans there... (Sixx dump-photo among other things...) I mean... They would be in good company. The fact that you have to pay for it and have to have such an expensive phone for it when so many of their fans are of the younger category... That, I think, is my problem. :-P

ANYHOW!

Thank you for being an avid Bill-fan and not having a problem with us G's fans who at least have a head on our shoulders. :-) At least I've been on the clear that it has been a twin-app from the start. I mean, that is what they advertised it as, so... *shrug* Hey, more Bill to you, right? :-)

[ruchirahni.livejournal.com]

that book iS AWESOME... so up your alley!!! ( no pun intended..)

marquis de sade is disturbing. i think the part where he started talking about feces really got me. i'm not familiar with the other two, though.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Well, I like the Marquis because he is somewhat disturbing... considering what age his books are from. AND that his stories have survived. To stand in a library in Sweden translated during the 21th century. That is pretty epic. :-) We discussed him quite a bit when I studied Literature science. Quite interesting. And since I like darker stories and misery... Well. Bring it, my good Marquis. ;-)

Pauline Réage wrote the novel Story of O (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Story_of_O) which is a SERIOUS Dom/sub story, that yes... have some pretty harsh scenes in it, but it is written by a woman, and so you are much inside the head of the people (especially the submissive woman), which is very interesting. The language is beautiful to, so I do recommend said erotic novel warmly.

Marguerite Duras wrote the book The Lover (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lover_%281984_novel%29) that later was made into a movie called the same: The Lover (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101316/). Young teen girl with older asian lover.... Again, here the language is absolutely beautiful... and it is erotic without being explicit. Unless you count the age-difference... But damn, this is a good book. And a good movie.

[ruchirahni.livejournal.com]

true. the bondage, rape and torture i can deal with... it's poop that gets me! is that weird?

have you read anne rice's erotic fic? it's partially inspired off marguerite duras, i think. i read anne rice's nad think you'd really like it because it features lots of vampires and fairy tales gone astray. ill check out those other two authors now! :)

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Dude. I am an old vampire-LARPer. Of course I've read Anne Rice! *grin* And drooled over the movie Interview with the vampire as well. I haven't read all though, to be honest. I think I've read the first four only... I really should read the rest of them one of these days. :-P

[ruchirahni.livejournal.com]

shoulda known :)

[misskaulitz483.livejournal.com]

I'm so with you on everything about TH! It's nice to have mature fans in the fandom to bring everyone back down to the ground!

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

And here I am being teased by my younger friends for liking "that german emo pop-band". Their words, not mine. ;-)

I do try, I do try... And since I've seen a few other posts with similar views, I figured... Well, I could write down my thoughts as well, you know? :-) Sadly the app and everything has managed to create a rift in the fandom, so some sense should be heard... I hope. :-) Thanx for reading my thoughts!

[aatln.livejournal.com]

I miss the G's *covers head ;)* I haven't been a fan of TH for long ... I think it was the summer of 2010 I heard their song World Behind my Wall and looked them up. Ended up on youtube listening to their other music, clicked one of their interviews and have loved them since.

Have they always taken such long breaks between making CD's? Isn't this a normal amount of time for any band between CD's? Just thinking out loud ... now I'm thinking about Adam Lambert O_o. Where did that come from? lol.

Oh crap .. I'm pouting ... yep I miss the band as well but especially the G's ... at least the twins are in the media every now and then. I guess when the G's wanted to remain in the background they didn't realize they'd have such invested fans.

Gotta love 'em.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Oh, I haven't been a fan THAT long either. :-) I can even pinpoint when. *lol* July 2009. ;-)

Since I haven't been a fan that long, I am not sure what to answer there to your questions. :-P Apparently it was two years between their first album Schrei and their second album Zimmer 483 (2005 and 2007). Then the english translation of those Scream came out (2007). Then there was Humanoid after that (2009). And after that their Best Of (2010). So if you look at it like so... and compare with other bands and artists... I wouldn't exactly call them slow... *shrug*

Nothing wrong with missing them G's! Not at all. So no need to cover your head. At least not here in my LJ, nor at gs_daily as you know. ;-)

I am always fascinated with the G's and their thoughts of their fans. Especially Gustav. He seems to think he has no fans... Dear boy... If he ONLY knew...
