Hello friends! Did you have a good week? I had a productive one, I’ll say and leave it at that. I was putting in some extra time on some worky things so that I could head down to Richmond in a little while for the Punk in Drublic show. Personal treat, you know?
The week that was … well, other than Babymetal completely shattering everything that we knew so well (and stay tuned for more on that), it was a less eventful week than Golden Week, and thank heavens. On a personal level, if you can, add some input on the Maison Book Girl Interview Question Query, then go play the Fun, and enjoy another glorious spring weekend.
Oh, You Weren’t Kidding

Even though she carries a shotgun, milcboy’s selfies always make me want to take her for ice cream and insist loudly that I’ll do whatever I need to to make her feel better:

Tell me if you ever saw Melon Batake a Go Go doing something like this:
Have a great weekend!
This is the worst thing ever
Thanks Maniac.
Thanks Yes Tiger!
And Thanks …
Yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo that gabber kick tho
And this Devil ANTHEM song dropped just days after Distortion… Is this going to be a new trend? Because i would be SO down for that. And hopefully at some point someone actually does some jumpstyle choreography.
im gonna be so damn offended if that happens, you better not disrespect my cities history!
jumpstyle and gabber still got some beef.
Devil Anthem confirmed for gabber idols?
This was supposed to go in the new weekender…
