tomorrow is the birthday of John Quale, better known to most folks as Prince Poppycock. i know a lot of people still don't know who John is, and even some who do may dismiss him because they're put off by his flamboyant alter ego. but JQ/PP is so much more than just a pretty face and flashy costumes. besides being an amazing singer--he got a punk/alternative/electronica fanatic *iow me* to listen to OPERA. i call that pretty amazing--he's just, well...
just watch this vid he made for the "It Gets Better" movement.
[link] now, while i'm not gay, i still identify with his message a LOT. i was a bit of an outcast as a kid (big surprise, huh?

cause i'm such a
conventional person) and i really never felt as if i fit in anywhere, either. *still don't, tbph*
but, like John says: that's OK. being an individual is good. each one of us is a 'different color in the rainbow'

sometimes i try to get this point across to some of my younger watchers & fellow artists who seem hell-bent on pleasing everyone EXCEPT themselves. sure, it's fine to ask for opinions on how to improve your technique or whatever, but above all you should be true to
yourself. that's my humble opinion, anyway

but then i suppose, like John, i've had longer to figure out who i am & accept myself, whether other people do or not. so the phrase
IT GETS BETTER really does apply to more than one type of personality and/or lifestyle ♥
ok, enough with the serious shtuff already: here's some fabulous Poppycock-inspired fanarts i've compiled to share with you guys ~ENJOY~

P.S. thanx to everyone who reads this
and thanx JQ for just being YOU♥♥♥
I also relate to that video... You don't have to be LGBT to really understand what he's getting at. Things always get worse before they get better, but you just gotta let 'em! It's no fun being an outcast, but if it means you can eventually make a difference for other outcasts... it can't be all bad. <:3
only person MORE fab is Ghirahim, but since he's a game character, PP gets the prize. at least for real pplz
XD
oh wait...you prolly meant damned as in DOOMED
ok,so i'm that way all the time gimme a break ._.
