Demon Slayer Fandom I Have A Question For You Guys

Demon Slayer fandom I have a question for you guys

So inosuke is douma's son

So by that knowledge inosuke should be part demon right?

Because his mother is a human and his father is a demon

Me: *scrolling through pictures of Eric Carr*

Me: *smiles softly to myself at the pictures*

My brain: You are smiling at a MAN

Me: *smile drops*

Context is that I don't usually take a liking to cisgender men but I guess he's the exception.

Nope nevermind it didnt work

Me: *writes long heartfelt letter to con O'Neil about me finding my name and how he and the crew helped me find it*

Me: *copy and pastes it into the instagram messanger*

Instagram: your message is too long

Me: *deletes a sentence and sends thinking i can send the rest of it once i sent the first portion*

Instagram: you have to wait to be accepted to message further

Me: welp...thats out that there now *puts phone on do not disturb so i dont see if he messaged back*

Thundering Drums

I don't know how to feel right now. I haven't ever been a big KISS fan because I was born in 2006 and never felt a strong connection with the band. I didn't know any songs besides "I was made for loving you" and I didn't even know any of the band members names. However, now as of March 2024 I learned more about KISS not because of the band but because of a person who was in the band. The first band members name i ever learned was Eric Carr's name. I guess much like other people they felt a connection with him. I felt that when i started watching videos of him goofing off (I wasn't even listening to any of the music he made/helped make. I was purely just watching for who he was as a person). I don't feel that type of connection with any other band members like you won't be seeing me actively reading a Gene Simmons biography because I want too. Eric Carr just seemed so human. He was such a good guy and I may not have met him but hearing stories about him...I kinda miss the guy you know? How could I miss someone I never had the chance to meet? Even as I'm sitting here crying while writing this every so often glancing at the picture of Eric Carr on the face of my own copy of "The Eric Carr Story" I feel like I need to make this post. I wrote this type of post before I read the book but it sadly got deleted. However, after reading the book in basically one day I feel compelled to rewrite it to get my own emotions and feelings out. One thing I wrote in the previous post that stood out was that I said I felt empty. I get like that sometimes when I get so vested into a person its like I lose a part of myself. So I was feeling very hollow before I read the book. But now after reading the book I feel like I gave that part of myself to Eric Carr and he sorta handed me back this piece of hope and confidence to keep going with my life to strive for better things. I think for me at least Eric Carr is the best drummer in the world not just for his skill but also for who he was as a person. He is definitely one of my role models now to strive to be remembered as someone who did something. I don't cry a lot it's not who I am but when i read the book and write this post I'm crying. It really shows how in such little of a time that I've learned of Eric Carr how much he grew on me and influenced me. I'm very glad I had the chance to learn about him through the people who loved him like his family, Carrie Stevens, and the many people who befriended him. I hope no one forgets who he was and what he's done for everyone.

Keep Rock n Rollin, Izzy

Shout out to @spacefoxy and many other fans for posting so much amazing Eric Carr content. I think it helps a lot of people in many different ways.

P.S I won't speak on my own feelings of KISS the band and who they are now and what they did while Eric Carr was sick and dying. But I hope their happy because I think at the end of the day Eric would have wanted them to be happy too.

"But this too is true: stories can save us."- Tim O'brien (The Things They Carried)

I call Eric Carr short but I keep getting smacked with the realization I'm like five or six inches shorter than him and I feel like a hypocrite.

Also I've developed a new coping mechanism to cope with obviously never being able to meet him. Basically I'll see a picture of him and he looks smoking hot in it and I'm like "this man needs to be stopped cuz he is too dang good looking" and then a second later I'll be like "oh wait he was stopped"

I'm not going to tag this in the kiss or Eric Carr hashtag because I just wanted to say this

Louis dancing with Paul is so wholesome until I remember how he treated him especially with that knife cane thing...yeah that one threw me off.

(yes I did just start watching the show)
