Oh the topic of your supposed arrogance and people...
You might not remember me, and I don’t mind that at all. I mentioned something about Broken Hearts and Torn Up Letters and the Story of a Lonely Girl being mystically written about me. I don’t expect that to be something that sticks out to anyone, but, I’m digressing from my point here.
I’ve been reading a lot about how people are assuming you’ve put yourself on a...

Dear Ian Watkins (and Lostprophets),
I don’t see myself in any song you’ve written, you haven’t saved my life.
I just fucking love your band, I just do. I just love your songs even when you sing that the malls should talk. 5 years of loving Lostprophets without reason. That a thing I can’t explain.
I love Lostprophets, I love Ian, and Lee, and Stu, and Mike, and Jamie,...
Seven years in the making.
Hi Ian, my name is Kieren. I’m in my mid 20s and live in Sydney, Australia. I am new to Tumblr…I mostly Facebook but thought this is the best place to get in touch with you. I’ve been listening to your band since 2004. The sound on the second album drew me in. At the time, I also read your interview with Designer Magazine (taken not long after the release of the first album) and admired your...
I don't know what write here!
I’m not English, so please forgive my mistakes. I’ve been wanting to write you since ages ago. But I never found the courage to write you. I don’t know why, I’ve always had the feeling of not having interesting things to tell. I’m a 24 years old Italian girl who makes Music the center of her life. I’ve been following you guys since 2006, it was love at first listening. I know...

buffyrat asked: I was going to ask if you ever worry that you will be forever plagued by 'boy who cried wolf syndrome', and are concerned that people will believe the daft stuff and not the rare serious answers you give. Then I realised that your answer would probably be 'Lime jelly and cupcakes' so I'm not going to bother.

earthtokerry asked: How do you cope with people putting you down all the time? Obviously, in your line of work there are a lot of people being positive about what you do, do you just focus on that?
"So, i've decided to take my work back...
….to stop it falling into the wrong hands.”
Thought it was time to revive the idea of doing a regular blog. I’m not sure how far it will get. In the time it takes to think to myself “ooh i should type that out then post it to people who either don’t care or don’t understand”, i would have already had another 10 thoughts like it, if not better. So,...
Thank you
I was born in England but grew up in a tiny welsh village near Merthyr. My earliest memories of school are of being teased & having my life made hell because I was an outsider. I’m sure you know the drill…
Then in 2000, at the age of 11, my father, who had been an alcoholic for the over 5 years passed away.
The only thing I had in my life that made me feel alive was music, &...

Thank You!
Hi Ian, just wanted to say a huge thank you for letting me have a picture with you outside TGI’s last night, I’ve waited years to meet you properly and it was amazing to finally bump into you, although it was a bit of a shock. Not sure if I got the chance to say thank you properly, I was very nervous, which is very unlike me. So thanks for taking the time to be so polite and giving up...

heartshapedbruises-x-deactivate asked: It's not like you to complain about pictures of half naked girls now is it? The message did not hit close to home, the message was an utter pile of wank. I just have the balls to tell you what loads of others are thinking. My self esteem is far from low, I can assure you that, as for insulting my intellect, well that's just funny. If you feel my comments don't matter, then why even...
heartshapedbruises-x-deactivate asked: I don't think you realise how hypocritical that post sounded, you allow yourself to leave your ask box open on here, and allow yourself to be in the public eye. I understand that given the fact you're in a band, you're going to be in the public eye, but your band mates don't draw as much attention to themselves as you do. As for the comments you made in that post, I feel as...
The arrogance of youth...
So i have been asked tonight, on here and Twitter, about my thoughts on ‘fans’ receiving abuse online, through Formspring, simply for being fans of my band. Well, without sounding too heartless here, the first question that i want to ask is, ‘why do people think that so many of their peers want to know about their lives, that the only way to handle the mass influx of attention is...
Um, it’s 4:38AM right now so if this is confusing please excuse me.. I just thought it would be appropriate to say thank you.
The end of June last year some stuff happened that really broke me, I got harrassed and threatened by older ‘hard’ guys I’d never met, I was terrified to leave the house. Through that, I found myself listening to Lostprophets, whenever I just...
randomexploits asked: Having looked at the new MIH merch, I feel compelled to ask a question. I've loved so many of the tees in the past as they've been a ltd run of awesome creative art, but with this new venture with Bori Mischief I am struggling to see how the designs fit into the original 'mission statement' you had for MIH: http://www.myspace.com/lostprophets/blog/405075442 I'm probably...
leonskennedys asked: Greetings from Ohio, midwest-land, America! I only say midwest-land for I fear you will get lost otherwise. Not many people make it here alive from distant lands. Seriously. I know no one in this state with an awesome accent or from amazing distant foreign lands. Anyway.

ravereactor asked: What are your views on giving cider to owls?
Hope this post sees the light of the day~
The majority of people on here that ask you ‘questions’ or make moronic comments are brain dead idiots, and they’re not used to being told their punctuation or grammar is crap. Why bother making the effort to send you something that is poorly written? You’re an inspiration, your music is amazing, and you don’t give a shit what people think, which is awesome. Thankyou...
bakerstreet93 asked: Who writes Lostprophets lyrics?
Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves; vanity, to what we would have others think of us.
are you still alive if so hope your ok heard nout in ages mun if your dead i hope your gone to a better place and didnt suffer to much oh and can i have your death stars jacket

bellykate asked: hey so my friend asked you a question about when you were coming back to Leeds 02. You took it as Leeds in 2002, when in fact she was talking about Leeds 02 Academy, and she saw you there in february 2010- just a little heads up.
Trying to think of something to say that hasn’t already been said is difficult, so I’l just say what I feel.
You are something quite special and, regardless of your profession, I admire you a great deal. I admire you not only because of your music, but because of your intelligence and creativity; You are one of the funniest, most intelligent people i’ve unfortunately never had...
Your designs.
Hi, I just saw some of the designs you have done in the past and I am very impressed with your work. Graphic designing and computer art are big parts of my life. I don’t really know anyone who shares the same interest as I do, but it certainly brightens my day when I found out that someone from a band I enjoy listening to is passionate about computer arts too.
Keep up the good work.
scrapingaway asked: Well Well Ian Watkins... You are a dab hand with wit, a fucking amazing songwriter/frontman, god damn sexy and intelligent all at the same time. I would say ignore the turds who ask you stupid questions and take the piss but unlike most people you actually couldn't give two shits and seem to like the entertainment. Can't wait to see you guys for the third time next time you tour +...
