Hello and welcome to my blog!

My name is June, but you can call me Junie, Gloomy or whatever you'd like!

I am sort of new to the whole Tumblr thing, I haven't really touched it since my youth so I am very far behind the times, lol. Do people still use blorbo and smol bean here?

However, I am not new to anything Z Berg as I have been listening to her music for a few years now! Though I haven't really looked into her until recently, I didn't even know she was in so many bands, lol. I also like a lot of other bands and things, but my blog will be centered around the beautiful and talented Z! So I guess that would make my blog multifandom? Is that the term the kids use nowadays?

I will also use my blog to update on what fan fictions that are in the works! That's mostly the main reason why I decided to make my way back to the Tumblr coal mines, lol. I am cringe, but I am free, or whatever the kids say.

I'll link my current fics here:

Far Beyond The Stars

I'll also try my best to archive a few things here and there because I am in the firm belief that media should not be lost to time!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Sometimes i wonder if Pete Wentz has ever listened to true blue by boygenius.

Rip peterick you wouldve loved true blue by boygenius

gay beatles slash fanfiction has existed since beatlemania, unsurprisingly. so here's some stuff on that topic

"The most visible rock based BandFic community during this era is The Beatles.   On August 18, 1960, The Beatles started playing under that name for the first time at an event in Hamburg, Germany. (Whelan)  It would be four more long years before the band would make their American debut, an event that occurred on February 7, 1964 when they arrived in New York City for their first American tour. (Whelan)  According to Barbara Ehrenreich, Elizabeth Hess, and Gloria Jacobs in their essay "Beatlemania: Girls Just Want to Have Fun," this event marked "the first mass outburst of the sixties to feature women – in this case girls, who would not reach full adulthood until the seventies and the emergence of a genuinely political movement for women’s liberation."  This group, composed primarily of middle class, white teenagers, would form one of the core groups in the nascent bandfic community.  In their adulation of the band, they would create many of their own fan related products including stories, zines and art. The fannish oral tradition that is alive today is implicit in the existence and circulation of fictional stories about band members during the early years of the band's history. Because the audience was young and not connected into a professional or underground movement, much of the material created by this group of fan girls never was published.  The production, in most cases, likely consisted of one to five copies of a story being circulated only among the fan’s immediate peer group. The emergence of The Beatles, their popularity and their fans dedication to creating fan works was helped because of the era in which they appeared. The Beatles were at the forefront for many white, middle class teenage girls in helping them redefine their own definition of sexuality and their own definitions of what it meant to be female. (Ehrenreich)  This was taking place in an era where there was that increased debate on subjects like "birth, a woman's obligation to society, and conception, bringing with it all of the bitterness and acrimony that have long surrounded these issues, beginning with perhaps the most obvious one of them all -- Sexism." (Rowland) Legal gender differences between men and women were beginning to fall. (Rowland) For young, white, middle class female Beatles fans, writing stories about the band was an opportunity to challenge their parents, to revel in the new ideas regarding male sexuality, to explore their own and more.  They could write about marrying Ringo or having children with Paul McCartney.  They could write about being noticed by the George Harrison at a concert and all that followed afterward.  Most fans knew that none of those scenarios were likely to happen. Some deeply resented the idea of a member of the band becoming involved with any woman because it destroyed their own fantasies.  They did not want to see that happen. It is highly probable, that given this and the fact that they were writing fictional stories featuring the Beatles, that some of the Beatles were written as homosexual if only as a way to ensure that the object of the fan's lust, since they could not be hers, would never belong to another female fan.  The idea of writing male on male pairings to cut out other female fans is one that would reappear again and again during the next forty years as new bands were discovered and attracted new groups of young female fans."

We are feral and evil and hot

promoting this again because i have about -$30 to my name now and want to go buy groceries before the 99 cent store in my town closes permanently 🤦

EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS OPEN

i lost my job, and only stable source of income, back in january. the reason i lost my job was due to an amalgamation of my rights being violated, being sexually harassed by customers (and having to fear assault due to my workplace not protecting me), and being unable to complete the tasks required by the job due to disability (that had been exacerbated by the job, and wasn't an issue when i took the job).

unfortunately, i live in a very small town, and everywhere else i've applied to either mysteriously denies me after an interview or i don't even get to that point with them. with only having one job under my belt since i'd worked there for years, a lot of places won't hire me due to inexperience. not to mention that i have a lot of piercings and tattoos, so many places where i live (a rural, conservative, mountain town) just don't want me because i'm 'not congruent with their image'.

i'm hungry. i have about $0.40 in my bank account and my credit card is $280 in debt. i need help.

anything helps. please reblog.

I don’t know if this counts as a vent but like, I have this primal urge that can never be filled, because I yearn to be a teenager in the early 2000’s. And it isn’t even one of those “I was born in the wrong generation, I just love the aesthetic of it.” No, I need to have been born earlier. Everything seemed so much simpler, my attention span wouldn’t have been fried by hours upon hours mindlessly scrolling on TikTok. And all the stuff I’m into is from that era, so I wouldn’t be missing out on anything. To be alive during the height of MCR, FOB and P!ATD pre Ryan leaving would fix everything wrong with me, and I know it. The urge is so strong, I get genuinely emotional thinking about how I’ll never experience it. Like, I’m mourning a time that never existed for me. Maybe I’m just neurodivergent and get emotional over little things, or maybe I was born to have been a teen in the early 2000’s.
