So, you should probably ignore this post.

So like...you know how I have a bit of a history of becoming spontaneously obsessed with rather embarrassing boybands?

Well. I have NO CLUE how this happened, but over the past week, I've been kind of like, really interested in Tokio Hotel. :/ If you don't know who they are, have their Wiki page, or be lazy and let me just tell you they're basically a German pop-rock band. I can't work out if this is more or less embarrassing than liking the JoBros. And Hanson. (Actually, I'm not embarrassed about liking Hanson anymore.) Gah, I don't know, I HAVE NO EXCUSE.

Except for the twincest. The band has twins in it and there is just SO MUCH INCESTUOUS TENSION THERE.

...Seriously, there's a trend here, isn't there?

I don't know, I'm like 99% sure that I'm not just delusional and that if you look past the ridiculous hair and the make up and everything, Bill and Tom Kaulitz are actually like, really pretty. At first I was only interested in Tom, and then I was like, HEY WAIT, BILL HAS TOM'S FACE, and then it was all downhill from there. I'm mostly only attracted to Bill when he doesn't have the giant hair, though. It's weird. It's like, any other hairstyle? WOW. But the second the hair's big, my attraction is gone and I find myself slightly scared of him. Odd.

ANYWAY yeah this is totally leading to a picspam so let's just get it over with, shall we?

Yeah okay, so he has the big hair in this one. But idek, his face is just so adorable! Gah.

Actually, can we talk about the hair for a second? It fascinates me. How does he get it to do that? What first gave him the idea? Did he look in the mirror one day and think, "Hey, you know, my hair's NOT QUITE MASSIVE ENOUGH"? And how does he sleep on it? Or shower? WHAT DOES HE DO WHEN IT RAINS? Can he ever wear hats? What does it feel like? THERE ARE JUST SO MANY QUESTIONS. IT'S SUCH A MYSTERY TO ME.

*cough* Right, on with the picspam.

Photobucket
I have the shirt Bill's wearing here! It's this and I love it. I do get some weird looks though...it's like, I just think it's pretty! I'm not actually advocating suicide! But more importantly, THEY ARE MAKING A HEART WITH THEIR HANDS, HOW ADORABLE?!

One of the main things you need to know is that Bill seems to regularly serenade Tom and get down on his knees in front of him. Yeah.

I love these ones because it really, really looks like Bill is Tom's totally hot girlfriend, lounging beside him at the beach all "Darling, it's so hot."

Also, Tom has no shirt on, which is always good.

Here is the song that started all of this for me:



It's called 'In Die Nacht' and this video has (kind of crappy font-wise) English subtitles so you can understand the full incestuous-ness of the whole thing. Bill wrote the song for Tom and whenever they perform it, they do it this way, with just the two of them, Bill singing to Tom as Tom plays the guitar. I think my favourite bit is 'You are everything that I am/and everything that's flowing trough my veins', but also, at the end of that video, Bill FULLY GOES 'There will come a time/we'll be together/in the night'. I know this is just a translation and also you know, it's a metaphor for death or whatever, but seeeeeriously!!

Here's a fun anecdote: I played my Mum this song and she was shocked to be told it was a man singing. I started cracking up, like "And you haven't even seen what he LOOKS like!" Later, I showed her a picture of the twins and because I didn't immediately say who they were or mention a connection to the song, she assumed I was showing her a random picture of two girls. Oh dear.

Photobucket
Also here is a gif of Bill kicking Tom to try get him to look at him while he's singing to him. XD

The thing is, it's actually a bit sad, because it's like, PAINFULLY, PAINFULLY OBVIOUS that Bill really, really wants to do his brother, and Tom seems to be (for the most part) pretty oblivious. OR ELSE I'M DELUSIONAL. PROBABLY.

BUT LOOK AT THIS

USED Pictures, Images and Photos

AND TRY AND TELL ME YOU'RE SURPRISED I'VE ENDED UP INTERESTED IN THIS FANDOM.

Speaking of the fandom, it's the type I can tell I'm probably going to end up really, really frustrated with after a while, and I haven't found any good fic yet. :( So I've sort of just been lurking around. I'm not used to liking foreign bands, I keep being surprised when I can't understand them in interviews. I'M SMART, I KNOW. I did actually learn German for aaages in school so I can pick up some words/phrases. Also, the English versions of their songs generally sound ridiculous, so it's okay.

I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore. I should go to sleep.


I am expecting half of the comments on this post to be something along the lines of 'lol okay, you loser' and the other half to be something about how WAIT, BILL IS A GUY?

HAVE AT IT. I HAVE NO SHAME LEFT.

I knew Bill was a guy but I thought he was majorly creepy, and still do.

[identity profile] likecharity.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay, I totally see what you mean. Almost all of the pictures where he has the big hair, i.e. what he looks like now I think, just...really scare me. I don't even know why, there's just something really creepy about his appearance like that, he doesn't even look real.

But then, the rest of the time? I don't even know, man, I can't explain it. I think I just have really bizarre taste...
ext_37910: (Default)

[identity profile] inksplotched.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
I just... don't like how feminine he looks, I don't know.

I've also heard this band is shit? But have never listened to them to decide for myself.

[identity profile] picturegames.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
aha, I AM NOT SURPRISED AT YOUR FANGIRLING.

I am completely....I don't even know the word for what I feel about these guys. I mean, I don't listen to their music, and I'm not interested in them, really, but there is something ABOUT them that's really intruiging...

maybe it's the fact that they manage to sort of amalgamate like A BILLION different fashion choices in one band....alos, their ambiguous sexuality is weird but also IT REELS YOU IN.

BROTHERS SHOULD NOT LOOK LIKE THAT AT OTHER BROTHERS! IT MAKES ME FANGIRLY AND ALL WORKED UP ALL THE TIME WTF.

btw, I'm compiling a MASSIVE fic rec list over at [livejournal.com profile] callusfreaks and there's a bunch of AMAZING Joe/Nick so I'll link it for you. <3

[identity profile] picturegames.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
but....okay, this is going to sound really creepy now that I've like looked at the pics again a little bit - there's something really off about them too, that I don't like. It reminds me of Dr. Menghel....like...I'm not sure. weirdness! The one with the SPIKY hair is pretty though.

[identity profile] likecharity.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Haha yeah, that's fair enough.

They are a bit shit, yeah. I like some of the songs, but most of them...meh. It's not really my kind of music though, so I don't know.

[identity profile] likecharity.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yes!! There is something weirdly intriguing about them! I think it's the things you mentioned. It's just really strange.

AND LOL YES THE WAY THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER =/= BROTHERLY. AT ALL.

Aaaand I am excited about this rec list but sadly, I'm not a member [livejournal.com profile] callusfreaks. D:

[identity profile] likecharity.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Augh! Haha, what? I think I might kind of get what you mean, but I've been looking at pictures of them for like a week now so I'm probably desensitised to any off-ness already. :/

[identity profile] sillyfax.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
...I AM GRINNING SO WIDELY!!! You are following the same path I took, next you're going to get into Panik. DO IT. I have picspams. I'm sure you ignored them. :(

But yes. TOM/BILL FTW. So, so gooood. I give you more. Bill's so pretty when his hair's down. And Tom. *shivers*

Also, you could have just asked me for good fic. I have some in my memories and then there's tokiohotel.fiction, where you have to register. But it's worth it. In my memories, I suggest reading Committed by undrockroll and cynicalterror first. It's so beautiful.

I love Bill's bag. xD

[identity profile] likecharity.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
This is so exciting, I didn't even know you liked them!! And I have no clue who Panik are, so that's probably why I ignored your picspams, sorry. :(

But ooooh, pictures, pretty! *saves* I LOVE the first one, I love the look on Bill's face. And just--ahh. I'm so glad to have someone to squee with. :D :D

*goes to investigate fic*

[identity profile] sillyfax.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
I have picspams of mega proportions. You'll squeal at the pretty German boys. And their music! NOMNOM. Normally I don't enjoy rap, cos they're kind of a nu-metal rock band with almost everything, but GOD THEIR FIRST ALBUM. *dies* Linke is mine, jsyk.

Oh, Tokio Hotel. They do this shit on purpose.

I mean, I'm fairly certain they know there's fic out there written about them. >.> Not that I've read any or anything. *sketchy look*

Hahah what's funny is that one day during my german class, my weird teacher (aka frau bipolar--which you can view on youtube!hahah) was like, let's listen to music!!!
&she put on "durch den monsun".

we had a class debate whether bill was a girl or guy. In the end we agreed that he has very womanly features.
haha, words like high cheekbones, eyebrows and such were thrown around in the discussion.
very funny.

[identity profile] wirelesstouch.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Oh man. I'm really scared that now I'm going to be into this, cause of you and your picspam. That's how I really got into JoBros fic, haha.

And I dunno. No matter how hard I try to picture Bill like a guy he still LOOKS LIKE A GIRL to me. I don't even know! It's craaaazy!

ALSO, IT IS RIDICULOUS HOW PRETTY BILL IS.

um, my brother likes tokio hotel, so it's ok? erm, and he's otherwise quite straight, so i guess i get it. the picspam is very pretty, though a little creepy. xD

[identity profile] picturegames.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
I WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT ALL THESE AND I AGREE WITH YOU - this is complete craziness. But tom...amirite that he's the one with the crazy dreadlocks who dresses like he lives in downtown los angeles as a member of a street gang cira 2003? (LOL)..is REALLY pretty. Like *really* pretty. And so is Bill, but...he is so feminine, that I can't find myself really attracted to him, you know, like sexually or anything. HE'S LIKE ELIJAH FROM LOTR. I just sort of marvel at the pretty without any physical ~yearning lol.

ARE THEY REAL BROTHERS?? I DUNNO IDK IDK IDK. Not that that means anything with my shippiness of ALL THESE OTHER BROTHERS ARGGGGhhhhhhh

haha NO WORRIES BB, I'll post the list at my journal too. I definitely was like 'hmm, wonder if there are like 5 or 6 fics out there that are really good that I haven't read', AND I HAVE ENDED UP WITH LIKE A HUNDRED WUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

[identity profile] picturegames.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
i think its because I have trouble like, pinpointing their heritage. I mean, the first thing I think when I see them is Asian! I mean don't they look Asian?!??!? AM I CRAZY????

AND THEN I FIND OUT THEY'RE GERMAN, and it's like WHAT??? I mean, I'm sure there are asian germans, but....STILL.

...no seriously though, they are Asian, right?

[identity profile] jemmir.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
OH NO! OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!

I'm terribly sorry for the outrage but I'm from Germany and I have been annoyed by them by experiencing how they started as a teen boy group (they were just 15, can you imagine?) and popped up in every damn channel and magazines,luring 14 year old crazed girls, and they ended up just...pestering. You wouldn't believe my reaction when I saw this while lurking.Yes, I lurk, I hope you don't mind >.<

Have you actually seen how Bill looked like before you've seen him like this? He had much shorter hair and really looked like a tomboy.

... (http://www.welt.de/multimedia/archive/00164/Tokio-Hotel_DW_Kult_164306g.jpg)

Oh, and about his orientation? Well, there are rumors here, that he actually prefers male company. On their 18th birthday it was supposed that he came out - as you would say it in English? - by outing himself via myspace. But then the band stated in an interview that they do not spend time at Chats, Blogs or online communities such as Myspace. *shrug*

[identity profile] elyanell.livejournal.com 2009-02-04 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
ok.
first the Jonas Brothers, now Tokio Hotel?
Girl, are you trying to kill me?
How am I suppose to explain this to my Sis? She thinks I'm crazy for liking JoBros, but this..?

you make me want to ship Bill/Tom XD
It's no good.

[and I won't confess to liking Bill a couple of years ago only because he looks like a pretty girl, and I love pretty girls.
And yes, his hair is really..um..original.]

Srsly? I figure they kind of HAVE to have some idea, but I wonder if they've ever actually said so.

Also lolol good cover-up. :P
