Is it odd to relate to ERB as a cis guy?

NOTE: “Ego Renegade Boy” is 100% undeniably a trans allegory and a certified banger

Confirmed by the creators and also quite obviously so when you look at the lyrics. I don’t think it’s possible to miss this fact.

I was introduced to the song after a friend of mine (t-male) switched his PFP to it and recommended I give it a listen. Of course I was absolutely blown away. As a writer, I was a little stunned by how beautiful the story is.

However, on a broader level, I couldn’t help but find it a little…relatable, in a weird way. Again, I think it would be foolish to deny this song is explicitly about the trans experience. But even though I have never dealt with any gender dysphoria, I did deal with emotional abuse and used to mask a lot. That was until I “killed” the old me a year ago, and I used that metaphor a lot to encourage myself. I used to blindly follow what others said and tried to remain on my best behaviour, but when my mental health was withering from all the pressure, I snapped and chose to do things my own way for a change. Regardless of whether those around me think I’m selfish or not, I couldn’t be damned. Mental health first, always and forever.

Complacency? Gone. No more obedience, no more excuses, no more doubt. Just a life where I can breathe and be free.

But that was just a bit of my own experience and perspective. Thank you ERB, you earned you place at the top of the comfort song playlist

PSA about recording/photographing Digital Stars/future concerts

I don't like to use this Reddit account a whole lot anymore but I'm making this post now just so others who are attending this Thursday's Digital Stars in Toronto or even future Flavor Foley concerts see this.

At least this wasn't extremely apparent to me when I was in NYC (and looking through the subreddit likely not to others) but there is a STRICT no filming/photography policy for Digital Stars, and ricedeity themself has had to step in on a recent upload to clarify this.

PLEASE do not film or take pictures during events and ESPECIALLY don't post it online!!! If you have posted something, you should take it down now!!!

Jamie, Vane, and Rice all want to maintain a degree of anonymity, and considering the fact that at NYC someone tried to sneak into an employee's only room/backstage (before promptly getting their ass handed to them by security) it is perfectly understandable that they do not wish to have their face plastered all over the internet...

It is likely that this policy extends to all future Flavor Foley events as well. It is unfortunate that some of the unique scenes may become Vocalost(tm), but it is also likely they will reuse some sequences in the future or even post the scenes themselves if we are lucky.

Thank you so much for understanding and I hope everyone at Toronto's event has a wonderful time!!!

First image is done by me.

Second image is an edit of what I think is official art.

Flavor foley are very good at character design.

Edit: art on second image is by insertdisc5, who drew the music video.

was just watching 炜ward romance and lwk realized it take up more than half of her face, like damn girl, there's a reason you're partying everynight, you lowkey need it to distract from the fact all of your face is on the lower third of your head.

jesus christ, people joke about playing tic tac toe on the forehead, but you could do a whole goddamn tournament on that forehead.

i hear people being insulted about having a 5 head, but she has a full freaking 10 head

ignore the horrible art, im literally using track pad and can't color that well

Flavor Foley Might be the Reason I Learn Chinese

This my first long text post so bear with me here.

I found Flavor Foley through like a year ago playing Project Sekai, specifically Electric Weekend Zone, and immediately dove into their music.

I wasn't fully deep, just knew a few of the most popular ones, Spoken For, STATIC, Butcher's Vanity.

Fast forward until about early September, where an online friend told me about their concert in Chicago (near me so not too out of the way), just before the Expo. Needless to say, I was immediately interested, as a few other artists who I was (vaguely) familiar with were also there. Up until the concert I listened to the same 4ish songs from them + Water the Roses and Weathergirl, up until the concert itself.

Now mind you, my only experiences of concerts up until this point were the mediocre high school DJ's that get hired for school dances and the Ado concert I went to.

In high school. I took Japanese, and have been interested in learning other languages, notably Chinese. Decided to take up Chinese on Duolingo (it sucked), but I got the basic idea of pronunciation and phrases.

^(also got a little bit of practice when Xiaohongshu was taking over tiktok and my fyp was force-feeding me chinese but thats a different story)

Fast forward to now, still absolutely hooked on them, but the Chinese bits of Butcher's Vanity got me hooked on trying to actually learn them and not just pronounce them fluently in the song; but actually, learn the phrases, the characters.

Heartbroken that I can’t go to miku expo 💔

I wanted to be able to go so badly, especially to be able to see Jamie Paige live as a part of FLAVOR FOLEY 😭 Her music was the only thing that kept me going a few years back and I don’t think there will ever be another opportunity to see her live
