I don’t believe I need to say much about the past couple days. I think we’re all devastated.

So I’m going to talk about TMBG instead. I have been enthralled with dear Mr.Flansburgh for some time now, but part of me always wonders “why him?” And even now as I type this, I’m not entirely sure!!

I genuinely think it all boils down to just how cute he is. I was fussing about it a few days ago and I just can’t take it waaaah. Throughout the years he’s STAYED so cute, watching him age and grow even more adorable as time ticks on ugh. Baaaah.

one of my favorite “eras” of his is around 2003-2006, or what I like to call “Spine Era” Flans because their album The Spine came out in ‘04!

some choice pictures of Spine Era Flansy:

He is holding his guitar, and gesturing with an outstretched right hand.An animated gif of John Flansburgh in a music studio, laughing.

Just a few of my favorites. He was so adorably plump at this point in time, it drives me CRAZY!!! I do have a poster of both Johns for a concert promo for The Spine and I still need to put it up, they both look so brooding and silly on it. I’ll take a picture of it once it’s up on the wall. Ehe. 
 

Gosh but so much to say. His short hair, his cute little cowlick, how soft he looks and how he’s only gotten softer… he is very very high on the Cyrano Flavored Beast list I admit, but the obsession quite literally hit me out of nowhere like a brick to the head!
