Well, thank you for that! I can't say I was one of those "new fans" who have been bashed, but I have seen the bashing on Tumblr, and it can be brutal. Even though I was never a fan when Jimmy was alive, I still hurt over his death, because I was never able to see him at his absolute best (which was 24/7). I also hurt over his death because I see so many fans, who knew Jimmy in and out, hurt for him constantly. And to be honest, I never knew why so many fans were devastated when he passed until I learned more about him and who he was as a person and performer. Then one day, while listening to So Far Away on my ipod, for some reason I realllllllly listened to the words, and I just burst into tears. It finally hit me why so many fans were so upset over losing him. Ever since then, Jimmy has had a very special place in my heart, and will stay there until I die.
If I may be honest, I was never really a fan of theirs until their self titled album was out...actually it was literally right after Jimmy passed. I knew of them and have heard the classic songs like Bat Country, Afterlife and Seize the Day (which I loved when I heard them), but I was never a "fan". Then one day my stepbrother who's 15 came up to me and asked me if I knew who they were and if I liked their music. I told him I did know who they were and that I only knew a handful of songs, and that's when he let me listen to his ipod, which had a shitload of their songs on it. Ever since then, I was hooked, and I immediately fell in love with them as a whole and individually.
This world where vampires, werewolves, angels, demons, and hybrids and more exist openly in the world. None of them are monsters, just different breeds in the world... The only monsters are humans that try to kill them. That's all I got so far. A work in progress. :D
Oh yeah... my main character is an angel... something hybrid who was an orphan, but she was adopted by a high class vampire family that happen to be very important people... She started out in the hospital because two humans at her school attacked. One had no other choice... So she's going to save him from being killed... which is the law if you are human and attack any creature...
then again why do I care about that...almost nothing on me is natural xDD
