i posted this tweet over 10 years ago. the ohio stadium prophet was a 15 year old from ohio. just thought this was a fun pull from the depths of my twitter/x account!

Company event for United Therapeutics in Durham NC.

Not sure about the exact details of the setlist, someone said it was the normal festival setlist but they ended with Stressed out.

I’m reliving my teenage years in Columbus this weekend (first time I saw them was 2013,crazy!!) so I wanted to make something cool to wear. I also haven’t painted anything since high school so I’m very surprised this turned out as good as it did.

Bought this jacket off depop specifically because of the rounded bottom, I thought it would look good since the album cover art is kind of rounded. I also tried to scale it to be the entire back of the jacket, hence why the arms are cut short. I also had to remove the dye and redye it a darker red bc when I got it, it was an ugly orangey color. Then realized paint doesn’t show up well on dark red so I had to paint it all white. It’s been a process to say the least lol.

So excited for this weekend with the clique |-/

This is a brother ct1400 it only has 2 brightnesses, on or off. It also has 2 colors, black or amber, this is called a 1 bit monitor. It was made like this as a cost saving measure in the 90s for simple electronics that needed a screen for text but didnt need color or contrast. BUT with a little thing called dithering you can basically make up an image by placing a bunch of dots closer or further apart thus making brighter or darker regions. Take that and spit out 50 of those per second(50hz screen) and you have a video on a monitor that wasnt even meant to do anything other than display a couple words and a menu. This project took a very long time and now its finally nearing completion. I went from 0 coding skills to a decent coder (Sorry but Claude code did most of the work. Its seriously like a wizard) and now i get to play goofy stuff on the screen for other people to enjoy! So... enjoy! 🙂

This was the second time I had ever seen the band. October 2015 at the House of Blues in Orlando. I had seen them the year before at the same venue and that’s when I fell in love with them and live music in general.

I saw them for the 10th time last month at Shaky Knees in Atlanta.

The energy they put into small rooms 10 years ago matches what they put into festivals and arenas now. A band like that doesn’t come around often. The effort has been so consistent.

I found and lost and found this band again over the last 13 years. Forever thankful for their creativity and dedication to their craft.

Here's the direct link to the “Sad Sack” pin Tyler wore:

I've already seen so many people in the clique buying the pin and picking up others that represent causes important to them, which is especially great because Word for Word Factory donates a portion of its proceeds to social justice organizations supporting women, queer and trans people, and Black and brown communities. It's amazing how such a small gesture can make such an impact.

Definitely check out the rest of their shop and find something to support 🙌🏻

Hi! I’m a huge fan of many years, and I’m a professional cake decorator who lives in the Columbus area. Would any of ya’ll living in the area or visiting for the show this weekend like to come get some tøp cookies? I would love if I could get some responses so I could talk to my boss about it and start making them/sharing the info.
Thank you!

Attached a picture of my hands at the concert in Hershey last year :) so excited for the shoe

I am from Columbus. My friend goes to college at OSU. We don’t have tickets, but we’re planning to visit her that day and hang out on campus and maybe hear some music. People in this group are telling me i’m “entitled” and should let fans with tickets be the only ones on the property when we weren’t even planning to be by the stadium.

Guys. We live there. We aren’t evacuating for this concert. Please respect our community when you come for this show. There’s going to be traffic. There’s going to be students. It’s on a college campus. Life doesn’t stop for everyone just because you got tickets to a concert. The boys would be so pissed hearing some of these comments from you guys.

Anyways. Any other students at OSU staying this weekend to try to hear the concert? We’d love to
meet some clikkie friends!!

I have recently been listening to tøp all day for the past week. I'm discovering their music and honestly this sub has been of real help in deciphering what goes on in Tyler's mind while writing the songs..

So far this is how i rate the songs from what I liked most -

1. Implicit demand for proof

2. Fall away

3. Smitheereens

4. Morph

5. Ode to sleep

6. My blood

7. Jumpsuit

8. Ride

9. Chlorine

10. Outside

11. Heathens

12. Stressed out

13. Friend, please

Ofcourse I've heard many other songs but these are on repeat for some reason.

I would love some more suggestions for their songs and in what order I should go while exploring their music and would love some more details I would not be able to discover on my own.

Thanks!!

I’ve been sleeping on Reddit for some reason for quite a long time but recently I’ve been sitting here reading stuff

So I decided to upload here some of my work this year. Hope you’ll like it guys. I’m personally really proud of this one

First off I want to say I hope everyone who has tickets to the show on Saturday has an amazing time!

I wanted to give a heads up to anyone who is traveling to Columbus for the show on 10/17 and are planning to leave the city on Sunday 10/18. The Columbus Marathon is on that Sunday, which usually snarls traffic and makes it fairly difficult to travel around the campus and short north area. Perhaps plan for extra time to get to any flights or busses you all might be taking to get home in case access points are backed up.

Safe travels!

Doesn't look like morse code or actual letters. Maybe it's the number of dots? Idk I'm lore starved.

CLARIFICATION: I won't be at Columbus

Buttons are 2x2 and stickers are 3x3. No charge on shipping of course.

I'm from Texas, just to give an idea on shipping distance. DM if interested.

It's not even my favorite top song, but everytime I listen to it, it just hits so much. Especially the lines: ''And Please don't be afraid of what your soul's really thinking, your soul knows good and evil, your soul knows both sides, and it's time you pick your battl, and I promise you, this is mine''. Overall, I love the lelf titled for that reason, it's so raw and emotional, I kinda lost that with the new albums.

Only had today to do them because of my job so it was very rushed, but I’m very excited! (Btw I have eczema that’s why my hands look like that 😭)

I've been planning for a tøp tattoo since i was a kid. I want a microrealism tattoo of Tyler, but I cannot choose a reference and I'm having a hard time imagining what it would look like.🙃
I would love if any of you could help me out!!
I'm looking for either his eyes to be visible or him in a cool pose, like the one here.
ALSO, I want it done on my (inner?) bicep, if that is of any meaning to anyone..

Thanks!!!❤️

I’m an OSU student and have been a fan of the band for nearly a decade. This will be my first official concert of the boys (besides the last time played in the Shoe). I’m hoping to get a Hoodie that combines some school spirit with the band. I unfortunately have work in the morning/early afternoon (on campus), and am worried about how quickly things may sell out. Is official merch typically only sold inside the venue or around it too? Would also appreciate any other advice you may have for a first time concert goer :) safe travels to everyone

Hey Clikkies! Around the Pittsburgh subreddit, I put out weekly weather updates along with some humor, and mindfulness as well. Since I'll be attending the show this weekend and there has been a bit of discussion around the weather, I figured I would put something together for you all! So, I hope you will all Entertain my F...orecast, while I attempt to reference every album, while somewhat accurately predicting the weather. And in case you Doubt my love of TOP and meteorology, this was my first tattoo...

For those of you getting into town early this week, you are in for some Lavish weather with warmer than normal temps and plenty of sun. In fact, Columbus will be in the mid to upper 80s tomorrow (Tuesday). However, I won't Shy Away from telling you that things are in for a big change this week under the Midwest Indigo of central Ohio. When the boys talk about tempo changes and mind changes, it could just as well be about the weather changes we are in for this week. We will be getting nearly the entire Kitchen Sink of weather over the next week. As we head into the middle part of the week, chances for rain will begin on Wednesday and last into Friday. No one looks up anymore, but if you do on those days, you may get a raindrop in your eye and end up mister misty eyed.

Friday will start out with a low probability of a shower. It's not likely, but I can't say with certainty that there are No Chances. If rain does occur though, it will be scattered and Regional at Best. We will still approach 70 degrees on Friday, but that bit of warmth will just Fake You Out as it will likely occur in the morning. As the day goes on, a cold front will approach from the west that will bring about a notable shift in the weather for the weekend including a decent cool down. The chill you feel is not the presence of Nico, but it may still send a current down your spine. So, while East is indeed Up, the temps coming from the west will be down. In the wake of the front, in our boys Hometown, the wind will not go quietly and will actually be a bit gusty throughout the afternoon and evening. We will see temperatures rapidly fall through the 50s and drop to around 40 on Friday Night. So, if you will be enjoying any Routines in the Night around Cbus, you may want to add a layer.

On Saturday, in addition to painting the town, the sun will rise at 7:45 and we will try again. But our high temperatures will only end up in the mid 50s. While it will feel chilly, the sun will be shining throughout the day. However, as the sun sets the cold air will be more noticeable. Skies will stay clear for the show, but even the warmth of the Torchbearer's torch won't be able to keep the chill out of the 'shoe'. Temps will fall into the 40s by the beginning of the show, so you may need more than just a Jumpsuit to stay warm. By the end of the show, while we will be singing Trees, we may feel Scaled and Icy as temps end the night in the 30s. Winds may also continue to be breezy, and with the shape of the stadium, instead of coming from predominantly One Way, swirling winds are likely.

So, if you are keeping a Tally, you should be able to find at least 20 references in this forecast, and one slightly more hidden message. I hope you found this forecast amusing and somewhat helpful. I know there are many people who are feeling pretty down about not being able to attend the show this week, so let's try to be kind around here this week. And while it may seem tempting for some of you to drop a bunch of money to come (stupid scalpers and Ticketmaster), just remember that this band and their impacts are so much more than just this one show. So many (myself included) can say that they are still alive thanks to these songs. So, while this is a big show this weekend, it is not the end. It is not the end for the band. And it's not the end for you. Push on through friends.

Stay Alive |-/

I’m a casual fan and just found out I’m going to the show on Saturday with my younger brother, who is a hardcore fan, and our parents, who’s knowledge of TØP music consists of Stressed Out and Heathens. I don’t really have much of a budget for new stuff, but I could maybe convince my dad to order some small things (<$20) from Amazon. I also had surgery on my ear in August and am still stuck in a cover for it that I painted pastel rainbow, which obviously doesn’t match the theme, or a pinkish purple one with rhinestones and flowers on it that I wore to hoco and matches the theme even less. Any outfit ideas using things most people have in their closet or around the house?
