are we secretly twins
yes
make sure you used the right marker
the las thing you want is for the writing to wipe off 😭
looks like a whiteboard pen
i’m using sharpie :3
oh dam
I made this with sharpies a few months ago (it was harder than it looks and it was such a coincidence that I had the exact orangey-red for it)
I have a sharpie for every color basically
thats actually such a cool coincidence ngl
yerp !
rip to your hands 😭
LOL you should’ve seen me when i made 92 bracelets for slaughter beach dog
18 hrs of bracelet making
i was so done with everything for a week LOL
me after writing 9 pages for my english literature gcses in 2h in a cold room
did you touch some grass in between?? 🤣
about a fucking christmas carol
the first 6 hours yes, the other 12……
dont remind me of gcse's
😥
mine was done on "of mice and men"
the book as in, not the band
we also read that
it was a decent read, dont get me wrong, but writing about it?
no thanks
I imagine 😂
but we also did romeo and juliet
and had to memorise like 12 poems
with all the quotes and meanings 😣
haha romeo and juliet was funny for me
we got the chance to watch the film with leonardo dicaprio being romeo
it was harder but more enjoyable
that film was so unnecessarily ghetto 😭
yeah
they didn't make us watch it because it's not accurate to the play and would get us confused
i think they let us watch it as we kept mocking the old english when trying to read it
the teacher would pause it to give acurate points where and when needed
other than that, we watched the film
which oddly helped me more lmao
oh wow
because most of the times i was able to remember when the teacher paused and gave accurate info
whereas when it came to reading it, i found it difficult only because od the use of old english
that's pretty useful then i guess 🙂
we did watch a christmas carol like 6 times though
funnily though, if someone asked me to do an assignment on either of those 2 topics, id fail so quickly 😭
i probably watched that movie like 20 times in my entire lifetime
oh and an inspector calls
that shit confused me forever
oh i loved inspector calls!!
for me, i couldnt understand macbeth for AGESSSSS
yeah it takes a while with aic
but i think i found that the most fun, along with of mice and men
yeah our teacher did the same
there was no way he was letting us, the kids, have to say it
it is odd to see though, how easily they used to throw that word around
like damn people, chill pleaseeeeeee 😂 😭
yup
Right
Trauma
I loved inspector calls too though ngl
Now im procrastinating on uni work instead of procrastinating on gcse revision </3 how the times change
i dont think i could ever do uni
gcses stressed me out enough
i dont need further educational trauma 😭
Studying a subject at a higher level just to find out what you learned previously was wrong

me in uni learning that everything i was told for 3 years was wrong
top experience glad i paid for it
19 days
guys.. how the fuck do you actually buy legit concert tickets on twitter 😭😭
i think that’s my last option for djo tickets atp
never second hand bought tickets before everything else sure but never tickets 💔
he is!!
yh
i had a MAJORRR stranger things phase in 2017 so i’ve been listening to him since he first released solo music in 2019
i was never one for post animal
i’ve actually never watched stranger things
i’ve watched like one episode from the first season
Don’t even remember what happens in the episode but i don’t think i was a fan of it
no because i can’t even judge the amount of times i’ve stopped watching a show or movie after 10 minutes of the first episode
it’s gets sooo interesting though i won’t lie, but the first season is real confusing you don’t find out what the fuck goes on until like couple seasons after
I try to get people to watch it because it does really get good 😭
I have two big posters in my room
I know I will cry when season 5 comes out
Some things got leaked a couple of months ago
Ooooo I see stranger things
The first season is SUCH A SLOW BURNER
But it does get better from season 2
I’ve rewatched the first season so many times because I just couldn’t get through it 😭
it’s so sad because i had SOOO many things
like posters and soooo many pop funkos
but i took my posters down to make room
and sold EVERY. SINGLE. POP FUNKO. because i wanted my shelf for kpop albums
only to go back into my phase.
i’ve said this every single season since season 3 but i fear steve might actually be a goner this season
He's in my death prediction list
Along with Murray for some reason
Is this a twenty one pilots reference
yes of course
IN THE SAME ROOM
it’s a sign they’re gonna play snap back 5/11
(im delusional)
Nuuuuu
Setlist changes confirmed in the building I'm currently in
Funny thing is every day on my bus I see a mulberry drive sign
no he’s in mine as well 100%
he’s a character nobody will feel sad over
these predictions were made in november some views have changed since then
Why would have Karen been elevens mother
The dream sequence thing would be very bad writing and the duffer brothers said they wouldn't do that (if your view hasn't changed)
nooo a lot of people were saying that karen would be alice creel
Oh
i’m saying if it’s a possibility els mother will be alice creel
but i dont see that now
I read the books which aren't completely canon but yeah that wouldn't really be possible
and i’m only thinking of the leaked ending because i kinda want it to be a dream sequence because no way all them characters survives atleast two main main characters are dead
i feel like we need to know more about els mum
Her past?
i have absolutely no idea where this seasons going
yeah ish
i know all about andrew rich whatever his name is and everything
but more like where tf did she go
When
LEVEL UP: You are now level 4!
Btw I have all books and comics in PDFs 😂
oh damn
i got like book can’t remember what it’s called it’s got hopper on the front
don’t think i ever read it though
Andrew died in Vietnam which was all part of Brenner's plan
i’ve listened to rebel robin as well
yh i know abt that
Oh yeah 😄
The podcast is a very condensed version of the book's main storyline
I have a very strong feeling the season releases in October
And if they do split it it'll be on November 6th
(the second part)
oh for sure it’s gonna be stranger things day
people are saying 27th which i get because it’ll be thanksgiving in which this season will be set in
but how iconic will it be to release it on the last ever active stranger things day
i never had a hellfire shirt
i didn’t want to be seen as one of those people
which is so sad because no matter what joseph quinn is in now he’ll always get judged and seen as eddie munson
half of these people haven’t even seen him play eddie let alone him playing any other role he was FANTASTIC as eddie
but i call it the eddie munson tiktok effect everybody just judges based on that
like he was amazing in gladiator he was BRILLIANT in a quiet place
and they judging because he’d johnny storm and one of the beatles 😭😭
i had one of those cringey tv show tshirt where’s it like
“i only care about food, like two people and stranger things”
wore it on holiday and everything. the amount of pictures ive got of me by the beach wearing that.
13 year old me was onto something
oh i miss 2017 actually
Yessss
i stayed of school during EXAM week just to watch the whole season that day
I had an awesome summer
😂
whenever someone mentions that year i just remember stranger things, popcorn & vessel
don’t be dramatic now
Is that your picture
i didn’t speak for like a week straight after hoppers fake death
yes
I have a season 3 poster on my door
my whole room was full of st posters but some of them ripped, kept falling down and then i took the rest of the make room
And a S3 eleven + Henry creel Funko Pops and every time I walk past Eddie's I wanna buy it so bad
i’ve still got that 1st season 1 poster on the left still up and that’s it
Oh nice
you just abt see my funko pops peaking out the corner there
i had SOOO many
but i sold them all like just under two years ago 😭😭
was worth it cos i got £245 back for them 🤪
i lowkey want them back though
I feel you
I got a Josh funko pop on Amazon for only £40 recently
Everywhere else it's £50+
Used
cool!!
Yess
ive just realised the show is 6 days before the exact 10th anno of blurryface

It's all calculated 🧐

1,596,527 seconds!
18 days
Loving the stranger things convo but I’m going to be a whole different level of quiet today
This bro is hanging today 🤣😭
@keen bloom have you heard the stranger things heathens mashup
The one from romania
Oh I’ve heard it and I legit cried because I thought it was so good 😭😭😭😭
I didn't notice it at first and was very surprised to see it
yeah i watched it when it first released!!
it’s so insane
It all works so well!!
yoo
yes
i didn't know them before ngl 😬
AWWW THIS IS SO CUTE
when i was younger and had just gotten into tøp in like 2017 or something i thought it was the best idea to blast car radio in my moms friends car and she just goes “THIS IS SO VIOLENT” and turned the radio off immediately LMFAOOO
hahahaha 🤣
hi chat i have not been on the bracelet grind bc ive been at my dads i am cooked i fear
and i accidentally forgot to add an s in my midwest indigo bracelet so it says midwet indigo. im too tired for this
i shouldnt be giggling about midwet so much but its too funny 😭
girl don’t even the amount of bracelets i’ve got spelt wrong
penny loafer squek 💔
forget about spelt wrong the amount of bracelets i’ve got where you can obviously tell i’ve gone over with a sharpie because i didn’t have certain letter beads left
i’ve been using F’s as E’s since august 💀
I honestly love the dedication
So many would give up after a few bracelets having the wrong spelling
And I’m also sure you’re not the only one replacing letters with other ones 😂😭😭
Do you have a pantaloon bracelet
I mean most probably
I would be very surprised if they don’t have one
LMAOO me rn with the knots and glue
i’ve been using like rubber glue to hold the knots together since i only have the plastic string stuff
i have 2 singular dollars to my name right now
17 days
you best believe my ass i have a pantaloon bracelet.
in fact i have 6 pantaloon bracelets
dedication
gonna give one to tyler so he at least acknowledges the song
Anyone else in the pit willing to make a mosh pit with me for navigating?
kind of rowanposting rn but yesterday someone asked me “if i could hear any song live just once and never hear it live again, what would it be” and i immediately thought of this masterpiece of a song
this specific part too
There was this guy on the bus that was phasing in and out of sleep and we kept touching and every time this stuff happens I try so hard not to laugh 😭
Looking (to buy) 1 spare ticket for HMV signing any date
Any date is ok. Please reach me in DM. Thank you
no way even more stranger things 5 things have been leaked
i literally don’t understand what they’re supposed to be
like i get the merch
but what the fuck are those graphics supposed to be
|| a couple of them confirm volume 2 although I'm not 100% sure if they are real, then there's another one that is probably the 'sentence' of the season (like season 3's is "one summer can change everything") but this one is possibly "one last strange adventure" or something similar. Then there's an advent calendar that's supposed to be released on the 30th september and an animated spinoff is apparently in the works but those aren't leaks||
i had set myself a goal when making bracelets for the show and im almost done 😭 i'm trying to make at least 1 bracelet for every song
currently finished blurryface, vessel, clancy, sai and trench and im nearly done with self titled
then RAB and the singles and im ready 🫡
currently laying in bed crying in disbelief that i’m flying out to see this show
so excited bro
not seen them since bandito tour so am really excited !!
this is my first time seeing them!
me too!
16 days
itll be mine and my bfs first time seeing them too!!!
also my first time seeing them after being a fan for 10 years!! 
Same! Been a fan for 7 years
Foxing - Hell 99 - Live at the Sinclair Cambridge Boston - 10/27/2024
this COULD be twenty one pilots
(i just really miss this show)
CONSTANT FATIGUE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
it’ll be my 2nd time seeing them but my first tøp concert!! (i saw them in festival)
YOU SAW THEM IN A FESTIVAL???
im so jealous
outdoor concerts are so much better UGH
i agree
nothing will beat the summer heat and somewhat chilly wind while vundabar played their set last summer
it was so awesome
AMAZING
i went to my first weekend music festival last year and its changed my entire perspective on concerts
i saw fall out boy live like 10 rows from the front and somehow managed to get on their instagram which is wild
i saw them at the festival where they sang don’t look back in anger WITH POST MALONE 🤪🤪🤪
my biggest flex 🤩
WHAATTT
yeah and i got trampled on and almost died and it was all worth it because pilots & post malone
im actually so jealous
i got barricade and all 🤪
on the topic of festivals
download fest put out a survey asking who people would like to see perform next year
and twenty one pilots was on the headliner list!!
i put them in for the first section and then i GASPED when i saw them as an option for the second section
NO WAYYY
for some reason my phone lovessss to delete all my videos so once again i am screen recording from my highlights 😔
bandito era was not real 💀
why’d i lowkey eat that actually
2019 picsart do NOT come back
rocking the twenty one pilots shirt while waiting for my mums bus to come
hell yeah ❤️🔥
1,312,441 seconds!
LEVEL UP: You are now level 1!
Anyone doing signing and fpe have any idea how we’re meant to do both?
no idea tbh
I had to look that up as I didn’t believe you
But now I do
And wtfffff
Why is it such a difference?!?!??
idk 😂
That’s so odd and annoying 😂😭
warning: semi-rant
i bought 2 tickets because i wanted to go with someone else for this concert but my issue is none of my friends are twenty one pilots fans and although they would go with me, i don't want them to just tag along i want to invite someone who would go for the music
so i had my sister who would come with me but she has university deadlines right around this date for her final year and manchester is a ways away from where she lives so it's not looking good for me 😔
she says she'll try to fit it in but i don't want her to have issues with her work but i have no friends that like twenty one pilots, gang this is a tragedy what do i do
find someone who would buy the ticket either irl even if they're not your friends or like how you're already doing and you could sell them the ticket or just give it to them if ultimately no one is willing to pay
🤞
thanks for the advice
i'm just stressing out a lil since the day is getting closer and i still dont know for certain what im doing with the 2nd ticket
nah i noticed that after i sent it and it activated my neurons dw
Yeah the best you can do is keep an eye open for anyone that’s willing to buy the ticket from you
And if not then probably give it to someone if it’s too close to the day
my sister is insisting it would be fine but is also talking about how bad timing it is
i wanted to get 2 tickets so i could go with someone i knew to lessen the stress of a day out in another city and not being completely alone
why must this be so complicated
is some really important deadline right on the 11th?
well not the deadline but its very close to around there and its an entire day she could be spending on working on it, she's already working daily and says she's running out of time and its a couple weeks away, so, whatever she's doing theres a lot that needs to get done
ooh I see
long story short: this is complicated
Is it her final year?
yes it is
Ahhhh that makes sense
Yeah the last year takes EVERYTHING out of you when it comes to assignments and dissertations
Not a uni student myself but do know many friends that are, and they all went through hell for their final year
There’s so much that needs to be done and I feel for anyone that reaches the last year of their study 😭😭
im a uni student too but i only just started so i dont have as punishing assignments yet
Good luck to you when you hit final year 😂😭
i'll need it
although i'm doing a very practical course so, it will still come with its own challenges of course, but i think our final assignment is a monitored exam showing our practical knowledge and skills and whatnot
fun fact: i'm studying music production
and its twenty one pilots' music that got me interested in pursuing music myself in the first place
hence why i am NOT giving up on getting to this concert
That’s actually really cool and I love that for you!!!!
Wish you all the best on your studies
thank you
And I hope you can figure out what to do with the gig
And if it comes to it, if no one grabs a ticket, I’m sure you won’t be alone either way!!
Me and my bf would be more than happy to take you under our wing
lmao that'd be nice
i do have a seat ticket though because it was the only ones that were available (and affordable) when i went to check tickets. which means if i sell the ticket to someone i dont know we're gonna be sitting next to each other that whole time
Ahh fair! I’ll be down in the pit
But we’d still be happy to look after you till doors!!
i wish i could but i think i got to ticket sales a little late
i mean maybe you can sell it from the app but idk how it works
Was just about to say, I’m pretty sure you can sell one off on ticketmaster (if that’s where you got it from) if it comes to it
As I got stupid lucky with my put tickets, my bf was still looking for put tickets and he found resales for us
'put tickets' x2
So if you feel the need to sell off the second ticket, it shouldn’t be a problem at all
Lmao my phone hates when I type pit
Immediately corrects it to put
And I just don’t fight it anymore 🤣😭
haha
what if it says resale unavailable
after you press on sell?
ticketmaster just says unavailable at the moment
oh
and it's said that everytime i've looked at the tickets
maybe you'll be able to do it when the tickets become available but that's too risky as it's too close to the date 🫤
as in when they become ready
I think it’s a case of them closing off sales now, or at least limiting them as it is quite close to the gig
i dont think so because its been saying this for the past several months for me
i've seen people selling tickets like an hour before the show for insanely low prices and it worked 😂
Yeah my bf just said he bought a last minute ticket for sleep token some time ago now like a few hours before the gig 😂😭
On that note, I have no idea what’s going on 😭
my sister has known about the concert for a long while, and she does say its fine. maybe i'm just overthinking things, i hope one day wouldn't be too much of an ask
im just a ball of anxiety 😅
😔
i got mine off a 3rd party website (ough probably a bad idea!) but $322 USD is a much bigger steal than what i got hotelier tickets for and that wasn’t even for a stadium sized show
matter of fact that show was at a 250 cap venue…
but it was so worth it.
15 DAYS
GOOD AFTERNOON GUYS HAPPY ALMOST TWO WEEKS TO SHOW LOOK AT THIS STUDIO GHIBLI CAFE IM IN RN
THATS SO CUTE WHAT THE HELL 😭😭😭😭
THIS IS SO CUTE WHAT
1,242,178 seconds!!
Watching everyone lose their minds in the song battles channel is so funny to me 😂😭😭
IM SO EXCITED GUYSSSS
we all gotta post pics when we're suited up for the show so we can be like "omg that person from the discord"
i’m definitely pre posting my outfit so people can find me/know who to look out for when handing out bracelets!
I’ll post a photo of me and the man when I’ll get the chance, as I’d definitely love to meet some of the people I spoke to in here, especially over the last few weeks
i wanna meet most of you guys so baddd but most of you are in the pit and i’m in seats 💔💔
doors open at 6 so i’m gonna plan to go about 5.30 so i can meet of you some in ques

is shein actually good
some people say its just shitty fast fashion but other people say its okay clothes and you just pay for what you get
I mean, yeah it is like a cheaper version of amazon and you do get what you pay for. personally i've only used it today for the first time to get beads so I don't have much to say but my parents used it a few times and didn't complain
the only thing is the desktop ui which is confusing
been a while wsg manchester gng
im seats
it's the wotsits guy no way
I’ll post a pic of my outfit but i do think it’ll just be a T-shirt lmao
im posting a pic of myself geared up like morning of so you’ll know where to get goldfish from
@cold harness did you change your name to the wotsits guy or was it already like that 😂
idk if it’s just because i’m a cheap bastard and simply refuse to pay 40 odd £ for a tshirt but i always get concert outfits from shein
and tbf i think my pilots outfit is very obvious that half the shit is from shein 😭😭
the beads are amazing quality though!!! most of my prettiest charms are from shein
Js changed it lol
Life is hectic rn 😭🙏
anyone going fpe?
Yeah I get that tbf 😅😂
But like brooooo you just dropped from the earths surface 😂😭😭
yes!!!
holy crap. 2 weeks

ive been waiting to see these guys for so long
HELL NAAHHW
pray for me fellas 🙏
why do you have 0 seconds for one of the history ones
Good luck!!!
Good luck out there @cold harness 🫡
good luck bro 🙏
Do you guys think the UK leg will have a big lore drop?
Because I’m definitely expecting some big lore moment for the London shows
i think the last three shows for sure (us included)
but like the last show
big big lore
like blurryface tweet and more and sht
also somewhat of a story ending
if there isn’t a leg 2 tour or double album drop then for sure 100% last show is a big lore show
it’s also like 3 days before the 10th anniversary of bf so..
Oh hello stranger!
oh hiii Ryannn 💃
same‼️‼️ spontaneously got tickets at work
NO BC ME TOOOO
😭😭
i was about to punch in and bought them cuz why not
idk what im gonna do with my goodies though, i’m in GA
should’ve booked fpe for birmingham, got a seated ticket there
the inconvenience of carrying a goodie bag around a concert is worth it considering i’ll be able to see their grammy underwear tbf
i had a ticket for london n2 but had to sell it off which is a shame considering they’ll probably be doing something big
i’m bringing my own tote bag for the show
thinking of either doing that or sending my girlfriend on a sidequest to pick the stuff up from me in the queue to take it home
LOL real tbh
i’ll be stuck in manchester until end of show so i have no other choice really haha
im stuck in birmingham after the show
i got a hotel for the glasgow show
but i was too cheap to get one for Birmingham
so im staying in the train station until 6am when my train back to manchester comes
i could’ve thought this through but i just blindly bought tickets and never thought to create a schedule of sorts
adds to the fun
the threat of spending 6 hours at the train station in birmingham at night adds a sense of adrenaline
errr sorry just to jump into your conversations and be a grumpy pants but tote bags aren’t allowed in the venue 💔💔
their SO strict with their policy it’s INSANE
oh yeah isnt there that A4 size bag rule?
WHAAAAAT
do they even have lockers to keep your stuff in? i remember reading it somewhere that they don't but idk
trying to see if my tote follows the rules cuz
it’s relatively small it’s not huge huge
tbf it can be folded down
TRUE
i’m wearing my cargos most likely so i can also just shove it in there

ik its off i backed up for the pic 💔
i think i should be fine imo
they don’t
i’ve seen somewhere something abt sore rooms but you gotta pay and also all this yap abt “we’re not responsible for your stuff”
😭
hey guys 😜
hey
the time for paper 1/2A and 1/2B are in the same time, they just formatted it weird ig
oh
im so confused so can you or can you not wear backpacks
I think you can't
they won't even reply to your emails
so what do they mean when they say 'bags that can be worn on the back' 😭
I have a bag like the second one in the image but it's within the size limit
idk
this is also weird to me [prohibited items]
yeah
tf
really really small bags that can only fit your purse
are phones allowed.
ah good
huh
lmao wtf
so no power banks
it annoys me really because they have this strict rule policy but they don’t even fully check
i’ve taken small ones before and not been collard
you can sneak things in it’s very easy
they don’t check small bags at all only medium bags, there’s no walkthrough scanners, no pat downs
but real strict policies
when i went to my two kpop concerts in january and march i couldn’t even take lightsticks because “people could sneak knifes in there”
where does it say about the batteries
nice
actually batteries
there’s so many stuff as well that’s not on the no policy list but they’ll take off
and they don't give you them back? what do they do with those things
man thats so weird. are other venues like this
also a concert i went to like two years ago they fully wouldn’t let me go since because i was wearing doc martens
so be careful what you put on your feet
idk if that still counts
but yh
what did you do then
idk, i think it’s just because we got bombed
i went to box office and venue security and said there was nothing they could do
so i just went home
oh 😦
contacted ticketmaster
never emailed me back
so i wasted over 100
never worn boots to that venue since
so they dont check small bags but they are worried about lightsticks
pretty much yeah
idk about the other entrances i always go in the one in victoria station, once you get up the stairs, they’ll put you in either of the two lines, one of them you can just go straight into the foyer, the other you have to queue to get your bag checked
😬
where did you put them
pockets?
honestly, you just have to hope and pray your bag doesn’t get searched or you don’t get randomly selected for the scanners when they have them. you can put them in your clothes or in the bottom of your bag
that's rough man
also if ur gonna get merch its best to get it before the show right
if i get it taken from me can i still go ahead or do i get kicked out
which venue was that in?? i've seen people in like huge platforms and not get stopped
this one
the arena???!
yeah it’s better to go before the show, but certain sizes or certain items can still sell out before the show actually starts
but if you leave till after then you’ve got little choice because most of it often sells out
noted
depends of which security is on, i think small items are fine tbh, i only got kicked out over the boots
or they’ll just get taken off you
mm ok
legit I'm hyped asf but also stressed out asf
ill bring a 20 inch knife and say 'oh I didn't know'
this venue, ao yeah. tbf though this was like 2022 so 🤷♀️🤷♀️
i gen don’t know why they wouldn’t let me in
i mean i get why but thats actually insane
don’t be too stressed, it sounds dramatic but really it isn’t that much. like i mentioned before if you’re bag doesn’t get checked you’ll be fine bringing certain things in. i think my shoes were just a one off
100% I understand the waterbottles thing but fuckin doc martens is insane
im short tho so maybe they'll not think about me being dangerous or smth
us gng
my grand height of 5'4 intimidates many
i’ve sneaked a whole ass camera set up in before when i wasn’t working/photographing. my bag didn’t get checked and i never brought it out/used it so nobody took it off me
dam
honestly you just gotta hope and pray
the arena security is heavvyyyy on concert days (for obvious reasons)
ive never been stopped before tho
certain security just takes it too seriously
i rememeber going there for billie eilish i think ?? and seeing all the police with machine guns and sniffer dogs and i was shitting myself 😭
i get this venue because of what happened them years back
but some things are way too serious
THATS THE ONE WHERE I GOT STOPPED FOR MY DOCS
how about they improve the security system first
2 months ago i managed to bring a massive bag into the academy so its just wild that only down the street you can get away with a lot more
it was funny though because there were two shows. i went wearing the same boots for both shows. the 1st day i was fine but the 2nd day i got kicked 😭😭
yeah but the arena is stricter for obvious reasons
i feel like just seeing all the mass security measures makes me feel even more uneasy even though im doing nothing wrong 😭
it’s a very scary experience
just seeing all the high security and all the police just makes you more worried that something will happen
YEAH but at the same time i also feel more at ease knowing they're on their toes constantly looking out
whens a good time to queue
like i went to coop live a few months ago and i expected it to be even worse than the arena but i barely even got my bag checked, they just let me through
tomorrow
idk if i just didnt look threatning or if its JUST the arena
usually queues start to form around 12-1pm for big bands
of course, I'll set off tn
when i went to ateez in january this was my first time going to a concert by myself and going to that venue by myself. i’ve been to that venue loads of time since the bombing but with a +1 and i’ve felt fine. but since i was on my own, i was petrified that something was going to happen, convinced even. i haven’t had flashbacks in about four years but that was my first time having a flashback since and it was probably being on my own that set it off, because there was soooo many officers there as well
i'll be there
were you at the ariana concert???
i was 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
LEVEL UP: You are now level 2!
i was 12 🤪🤪🤪🤪
i genuinely don’t remember a single thing though i blocked it all out so im fine
you're alloed on your own at 12?
i used to live near a major road going into town and all i remember is hearing all the ambulances sirens
ohhh no i was with family
oh ok
i don’t remember the actual concert but i remember the aftermath and unfortunately the ambulance sirens and the one thing i can remember
every time i hear a siren now i still feel like i back there
thats actually insane
i think that’s why i got into concert photography tbh, so i could change a scary memory into something beautiful and not be prettied of going/doing something i love (attending gigs)
anyways sorry to get all depressing all of a sudden, two weeks until i meet tyler and josh let’s go 🤩🤩🤩
thats dope tho 💯
bring a fanny pack if you have one
or one of them really small purse bags
over the shoulder things
if not i know primark sell like certain ones for around £2-3
unless cargos arent allowed either
tbf if you’re only taking your phone and purse you’ll be fine
if you buy merch i know sometimes they give out little paper bags to put merch in but not always
'take yo trousers off or you can't enter'
i wouldn’t be surprised
nah thats mental
i was planning on bringing tissues, my glasses (i will be wearing contacts), wallet, and power bank
arrive naked to be safe 😎
YESSS
depending on how big your powerbank is that should all fit in a fanny pack or big trouser pockets
you’ll be fine
it's 9x6 cm yeah
bru i need mine this is so tough
😢
my power bank isn't even expensive so i dont mind if I can't even bring it back
mines solar powered i don’t remember how big it is
it’s so easy to sneak them in though
and half of the time when they do check your bags they don’t bother taking it off
but i know there’s outlets where you can charge your phone inside
idk what the policy about plugs and wires are though i’ve never bought them in i’ve just seen people sat with their phones plugged in
but i'd have to take my plug yeah
yooo
unfortunately AO is weird with their rules on things especially after thr bombing
but they also dont make it easy to figure anything out as they dont communicate ANYTHING
last time i went to that venue was 2 years ago in december, i wore a fanny pack that i starpped over my chest and they had no issue with it
that’s the problem 😭 they never email back and the lady at the info desk is always a deaddul and hardly knows piss all
no water bottles or anything like that FOR SURE
so is this even true
state of the art screening system
🙂↔️
i believe they used this system 2 years ago
as i didnt have to empty my bag, just slapped it on the table and it got scanned through
do i have to take any bracelets off since that's how it works in airports
no i dont think so
this is the bag i usually takes, it’s got checked before, and it’s also been ignored and was able to just walk in without it checked. i can’t really remember the measurements of it, but it’s my go to bag
anything smaller than that honestly should be fine
i have a smart watch on which i took off purely by instinct (airports) but as long as they can see all of them then i think you should be fine
okei 🙂
roger roger
yeah that sounds about right
ABOUT WATERBOTTLES
plastic waterbottles with and without water cannot be brought it. you can take EMPTY REFILLABLE ones like this that you can refill once inside the venue. you CANNOT take the lid however
i think only hard plastic like this one are allowed. can’t remeber the name but not any metals ones or anything like that
oh damn i didnt know that lmao
i was always bollocked for any bottle so i just never bothered with one lol
buying water there is sooo steap
can imagine
but the water fountain queue is always so long
how steep we talkin tho
i can go without water 💪
REAL STEEP

if you get a plastic refillable cup it’s like £3??? if i can remember
any other drinks are worse
hydrate if u need to tho brotha
fizzy
yhh
do NOT get me started on the alcohol
yeah the alcohol is SO MUCH WORSE
in terms of price, as in
tbf the alcohol choice isnt great either
you can drink alcohol there?
welp I aint old enough anyway
two half pints of dark fruits in a plastic cup came to £17 😭😭
AND THEY WERENT EVEN FRESH
yeah they have bars around the venue
THEY JUST GOT ONES RHEY ALREADY MADE OFF THE BACK COUNTER
what if i get drunk before the concert
they all have the same stock though so theres not much choice
you wont be allowed in
how would they know
you can pre before, just dont go too hard
yeah there’s so many food and bars inside the arena
how drunk are you planning on getting lmao
im not but hypothetically
oh yeah you can drink before, just not get obvious drunk
ok
I got really drunk before a concert and i threw Up and it was really awkward #Dont do that
well booze always has a smell to it no matter what you drink 😂
that’s what the security are there for also, to catch if anyone’s insanely drunk or really sick
so either be thirsty af and get a decent spot in the pit, or get hydration and miss out on a good spot. thanks manchester arena 
pretty much 😭
if you’re in the pit, security comes round with cups of water, if you’re in the middle or nearer to the back you’re kinda fucked though because most people don’t pass the water back
when i went in 2019 they passed out water mid show, but i got a really bad cold afterwards that i blame on that
ninjad
yeah most venues give out water in cups to the front but nowhere else in the pit really gets looked after
LEVEL UP: You are now level 5!
so if youre in the middle of pit, its doom
coool
best song
i got pretty close at leeds fest
Sooo cool
how cold was the water
yeah for some reason the water is FREEZING
mhh
idk where venues get their waters from to give to the pit but like brooooo
it’s refreshing though when you’re sweating your tits off 😭😭
yesssssssss
lmao that reminds me of a gig i went to with my bf recently
we bought a 4 pack of ciders, had 2 before gig
then we hid the other 2 round the back of a MASSIVE bin
went looking for them at the end of the gig and they were still there 😌
and they were so damn cold, but sooooo refreshing
Look where I was for Trees tho 👀
lmao yeah done that before too 😭 😭
🦖
hmm i see we have a liar
LEVEL UP: You are now level 5!
you weren't there for trees
admit it
thats what she said
do you have anything in size comparison for me to reference 😭 this looks decently sized already i’m just worried about my tote hahaha
would someone come up to me and yell at me over my tote ? unless i snag one from the merch stand if they have any
grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
they’ll definitely say you won’t be able to take it in
merch always seems to have a tote
MORPHHH MY FAV SONG OFF TRENCH OTHER THAN MY BLOOD
let me find my tape measure and measure it for you
what if it’s folded in my pocket tho hm
THANK U ❤️🔥
they ask if you’ve got stuff in your pockets 😭😭
pls why am i crying over this ALREADY
NNNOOOOOO
also if your bag gets checked and there’s smaller zips/pockets in your bags they’ll ask if there’s anything in them pockets
i’ll hide it elsewhere….
hide it in your shoes
omg wait COULD work
unless you get randomly selected for the scanners
i hide my sharpies in my shoes
itll be even more crazy this time with the pit setup they do
also hello the REACTIONS????
STOP IT i will be a sobbing mess
LMAOOO
ME TOO
there’s one audio on my fyp that’s just the crowd singing with like really subtle synth before they actually start playing it and every time i hear it i sob so hard
here's the opening of the show
I thought it was the fortnite og music
the bass 
yeah that played a little before that clip
oh ok
i actually didnt know it was from fortnite at the time
i was vibing
making a necklace for josh if i manage to get close to him so he’ll have an addition for his neck stacks 
i got a cute J initial charm while grabbing more elastic string
dope
truce at the bandito tour
SAME
i have like 13K pics
that’s mostly bc i don’t clear out my photos from my job 😂
there's a compilation of people singing it on yt
wait yeah i prolly needa do this
lane boy
i calculated i need around 120GB if i want to record it all in 4k60
which was very super fun because my jumper fell off my waist and got absolutely trampled and torn 🙃
yikes
random question but is anyone else as excited for balu brigada than i am?? 😭😭
get an SD card or sumn
i listened to a few of their songs but i’m always bad at listening to openers. usually like the surprise to what they play before i even know what they’re truly about
and then delete it off my phone
experiencing a band live before their actual studio discography is so much better imo
i’ve discovered crazy bands because of this
i’ve never really bothered for openers but for some reason i’ve just been listening nonstop
yesss im the same

so cold and designer kept coming up on my suggested songs
like dont get me wrong some bands have better studio versions
but hearing them live before hearing the studio?
unbeatable
when i saw godfuck back in july last year i shit myself because they’ve got insane music i never thought i’d need to hear
YES AGREE
ayy
IM CRYING OVER THESE BRO

IM NOT GOING TO MAKE IT IN MANCHESTER
ME TOO IM SO EXCITED
morph piano
MORPH MY BABYYYYYYY
i love morph
morph a top 3 song
i hope we get another trench of bf song for manchester
started-recording-too-late clip of car radios drop

if i can cry in front of my main music inspo TWICE in one night then i can cry in front of josh it’s ok 💔
trees circle warrior.
i also love how much you just bounce around in all of those clips
opening of lane boy
hard not to
the whole damn arena is off the floor
its how it should be
p sure i smacked myself in the face with the phone a few times
roblox avatar has been updated in honour of the show
brb checking out lore channel rq
opening of *levitate ✨ *
got me levitating fr
at least you didn’t get ur neck almost dislocated TWICE in a 1 minute long song
😭😭😭
this is so beautiful okg
and because im out of clips have a bonus clip of my friends dog
what the dog doin 🗣️
i wouldve recorded more but my phones battery was like 8% 
i miss them so much
you can see me go down twice when someone with BOOTS crowd surfed over me
turns out it was my friend who i haven’t seen in 7 years
DEADASS
im sorry but they way you only see a boot for a solid second just took me OUT 🤣 😭
again, brb
estate cat demands food
LMFAOOOO REAL
i really hope the jumpsuit / hds pit is like this
this exact feeling i felt so alive
not that
i want my neck to dislocate or anyone else’s for that matter
BUT THE ENERGY
GOOODDDDD
i fully expect to be unconscious halfway through the show 😭
i also got my face smashed into the concrete at a microwave show so i really hope it’s a lot more lowkey than that 🥲
i’m gonna be singing then all of a sudden gfh > lavish will play and i’m probably gonna realize how fucked up the transition is and go “YOOOO WTF” so loud
i get so unaware about how loud i am at shows sometimes i know im gonna tune out myself when i get there lmfao
i’m just hoping that my memory doesn’t hiccup and forget a lot of the show
cuz my brain likes to do that a LOT
lmao i cant remember much of the show at this point
i look the setlist up and im like "they played that?"
LMAO REAL
i def remember some tracks more vividly than others
they also played a few on the 2nd stage which was the other end of the arena so i dont remember those a lot
oh wordddd
i always get so excited for small bands when they play one of my favourite songs
the last show i was at i realized they were playing my fav song off their new ep
so i grabbed the mic for a majority of the song and they bought me a pack of beer LMFAOOO
i love giving someone the ability to realize another person loves what they do
makes them 1000x more passionate about it
SAME. i’m almost done with my hoodie
i messed up the bleach for the clancy part of the hood but i think i can fix it with paint
i might do that bc it’ll stand out w the rest of the hoodie
i want to get this printed on a t shirt, but i need to find out if i can even do that legally, because of the copyright etc. sadly the artist is no longer with us which complicates things
Yesss same here 😭😭
aw man! i’d personally just bleach it 🤷🏻♂️ a lot of the designs i make are taken from pinterest anyways lol
if anyone asks id give credits
im guessing it falls under fair use
id have to pay a company to do it for me whatever happens
ohhh
i was about to recommend you my local print shop but realized i’m probably VERY far away

get me out of america bro
i do be in the east of england

imma sort it tomorrow
i hope it turns up in time lol
cause itll need to arrive here at latest the friday b4 the show
