STRAP IN, IT'S BIG LORE TIME 🧵
So if you've been listening to my insane ramblings for a while, then you know that I believe greatest hits holds the answers to a LOT of what's going on now. I asked Awsten about it at q&a, and he liked stuff which further added to the probability
Does Awsten realize that if Otto actually DOES k!ll someone he is actively incriminating himself? Like when Otto goes down Awsten is ABSOLUTELY going down with him. You knew the whole time but did nothing? Then you're an accomplice. I just hope Geoff has a damn good alibi
Waterparks dropping their first independent track since BLACKLIGHT with no announcement, no presave code, no promo, and just silently dropping it on Spotify at midnight on a Sunday (which is not "industry standard" release day) is the ULTIMATE power move, so happy for them🥹
So Waterparks is signed to Fueled by Ramen. Pete Wentz runs a part of Fueled. Awsten filmed a commercial with Hayley Williams for gdy. Now Hayley and FOB are on the rerecording of Speak Now. This can only mean one thing. Reputation (Taylor's version) ft
@awsten
I really wouldn't mind, a 20 hour drive, with you on the other end, lifting up my tired head, tell me all my favorite things you've said before. You'd know I'd make the time, I'm just waiting on your green light, yeah I'll be at your porch by this time tomorrow cause I'm almost-
"Awsten isn't a twink because of his body type" and wanting to give him a different label that suits him better is a hilarious statement considering he's missing the BIGGEST part of being a twink or otter or any of those label... ACTUALLY BEING A GAY MAN😭
I TRULY CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE WAIT THIS LONG TO POST THIS I asked Awsten about one of my core theories, that the Me, Myself, and I motif on GH mirrors Soulsucker, starfucker, and himself, and THIS IS WHAT HE SAID. This was easily top 5 moments of my life, FELLOW LORE NERDS LETS TALK
Also the defense of financial status... Parx has existed since 2011 & Awsten is also a designer and author. That tik tok cover band formed in 2019. 5 years into parx Awsten was still teaching guitar lessons. Finances have nothing to do with mental health & cancelling projects
Stop it he literally played the final set ever at the local venue he grew up with and held the first ever Waterparks show at and then the night ended with a crowd of fans chanting his name I'M NOT CRYING
Just realized Awsten always said the only band he painted his face for as a teen was MCR (he painted his face as a skeleton for the black parade tour) and now we all paint our faces with giant stars for Waterparks oh don't speak to me I'm broken
This tour, in so many ways, is gonna go down in parx history as a turning point. No one in rock/alt is doing what they're doing, and honestly, I've seen arena shows do less than what parx did on this tour. They're truly a band of visionaries and they've once again raised the bar
I say we're about two days away from a "Texas alternative band WATERPARKS goes viral online for tik tok murder rumor" being a real article that's published by a music outlet
Idkhow fans saying they don't want to deal with parxies, dude we're literally cousins. Just behave yourselves for the family reunion I promise like 99% of us are not that bad
THIS is the thing we needed to unite the parx fandom, THIS is the sense of community we've been lacking. One of these rare, beautiful moments of unity and togetherness on parxtwt all because of the murder scandal ♥️
His eyes. Do y'all even UNDERSTAND. He has "complete" heterochromia, meaning each eye is a different color, BUT THEN ALSO CENTRAL HETEROCHROMIA, MEANING THE COLOR AROUND HIS PUPILS IS DIFFERENT TOO. People talk about him having heterochromia BUT WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THE EXTENT
So it's called Greatest Hits but it's not actually a compilation album, it was an album of entirely new songs Awsten wrote during quarantine. It's actually a concept album, see, the album takes place over the course of one night inside dreams-
Something about people in music Awsten has loved/looked up to in his life describing him specifically as a sweetheart makes me so :( I'm so happy for him man no one deserves it more
I'm sorry but Awsten singing "I ain't jumping out the window" on the final IP track after the WNTT video years ago and last album "I might just lose my shit hop off the balcony" I don't think I can describe how important this is to me ❤️❤️❤️
I've had to tell at least 40 people my favorite band is
@waterparks
in the last 3 weeks and everytime I get the same reaction. "Huh, I've never heard of them, what genre are they?" I always struggle to answer and today I finally just gave up and called them an alternative boyband
Thinking about how parx literally did the rerecording things YEARS before it was popular because of Taylor Swift. No wonder there's a parxie to swiftie pipeline haha
Hot take: people only hate SFY and IMHSBALIDWDA because they're popular. If they were deep cuts those same people would love them and say that they're underrated.
NEVER DID I THINK I'D SEE THE DAY WATERPARKS SELLS FUCKING SPORTS BALLS BUT HERE WE ARE, I JUST KNOW THESE WERE ONLY MADE BECAUSE AWSTEN WANTED SOME LMAO
Going to remind you all that Waterparks is a color theory band, we're seeing Awsten's skin colored blue more and more frequently- he *is* the frog on the IP cover
Awsten never actually said anything other than the FACT that Julian was messaging underaged fans. Let's take the immediate assumption of predatory behavior aside (despite the fact that now multiple minors have come forward with statements) and address that ANY one on one (1/5)
ARE THE LAYERS A DISGUISE TO SNEAK IN AND OUT OF HEAVEN? THE GREEN IS TO CANCEL OUT THE RED!!!! TO HIDE HIMSELF!!!!! SO HE CAN HOP THE FENCE!!!!! CAN ANYONE HEAR ME!!!!!
Ten years of
@waterparks
in under two minutes, we love you
@awsten
@underscoregeoff
!!! (rts and tags are appreciated because I honestly really want them to see this haha)
LORE TOO!!!! FISH ASKED HIM ABOUT THE PHOTO WITH THE "TWO AWSTEN'S" AND AWSTEN JUST SAID "there's only one Awsten." And then Fish said AGAIN "there's two Awsten's" and Awsten just said again "there's only one Awsten." SO UH
Today is another perfect example of this. Waterparks has always been a very visual band but they're making the jump into full blown performance art and acting on stage. Even small details like Awsten's hand twitching during FAI, they're BECOMING the songs and I'm in awe of them
He's getting wayyyy more into almost performance art? Like look at those fucking facial expressions!!! Acting out the lyrics even further than he used to, I genuinely feel like we're watching the start of the next evolution of
@awsten
's stage presence
Okay but... this is a prequel. "If I'm not brainwashed then I'm trying to be" "throw out my shoes and my car keys, I won't need those cuz I won't leave" he hasn't spent the week over at their house yet. He got brainwashed after the week he spent at their house. It's a prequel
I have a feeling
@awsten
did this to show us how hard it is to only choose a few songs to play live out of the many they have so we stop screaming "PUT *enter song here* ON THE SETLIST OR ELSE"
CHOOSE YOUR OWN SET LIST FOR THE NIGHT OUT ON EARTH TOUR HERE AND TAG ME IN IT SO I CAN SEE UR BAD OPINIONS BABY!!! THEN GRAB TICKETS TO THE TOUR ♥️
CREATE:
I believe without a doubt in my mind if End Of The Water got a big marketing push it could've been one of the band's biggest songs but now it's doomed to be a deep cut
Okay but what happens when Awsten jumps and crowd surfs while screaming "I AIN'T JUMPING OUT THE WINDOW" live I don't think I could emotionally handle that
NO SMOKING. FUNERAL GREY. "TOOK A HIT, I SAID THAT SHIT IS GONNA KILL YOU." SNEAKING OUT OF HEAVEN. HOPPING THE GATES WHEN YOU DIE. THAT SHIT DID KILL. ANGELS. HEAVEN. HELL. CAN'T FORM A COHERENT THOUGHT BUT DOES ANYONE UNDERSTAND???
"it's so scary Awsten Knight has my address" no it's not, you think he actually knows how to get there? He hardly knows where he is, how the hell is he gonna find YOU?
• IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE •
A PROPERTY TOUR RECAP! It made me pretty emotional to make this, and I know it's a long one but I hope y'all like it. Thank you to everyone who submitted a tweet to be included! I tried to include as many as I could! Rts and tags appreciated! ❤️
Really??
So fans get to: hug the band, share stories, give them gifts, give them props for custom poses, arrange that pose, show off tattoos, share art, thank them, sometimes get photo retakes, hug them again, AND do Q&A before doors open and…
how do you think that happens???
