i know im going against your last anon but seeing the results on your happiest fob album poll has me genuinely scratching my head bc happiness is not an emotion i associate with srar at all. like for me srar has always been about rage? like a short of rebellious teenage rage??? or that low deep anger you feel when you suddenly realize you grew up and the world that you're living in isn't the same as before and you're fighting both to keep that world and trying to claw in your place in the new world. idk. does that make sense???? (tho i can see the angle anon was talking abt wrt the band. but even then i wouldve picked abap. they were riding the wave of the comeback and the hype of returning and new fans. and i think that shows in how upbeat and danceable abap is. even tho i still think abap feels more like a fleeting type of happiness) (idk idk sry about this ramble i just keep thinking about this and coming to the realization that none of the albums are really happy 😭😭😭)

omg dont be sorry i love the rambling i love hearing ppls thoughts on stuff like this!!! seeing srar as rebellious rage is so interesting and i really think i do get where you're coming from and the more i've thought about srar being my instinctive answer, the more i've thought about how that kind of hopeful (to me), rebellious spirit just can come across as Happiness even if it. isn't fully? like, it's highly possible none of the albums are Really happy so the closest emotion people can associate with it is that like... fight for the future, rebellion, cautious hope so. your interpretation of srar absolutely makes sense, and that's just my take on why people interpret that as 'happy' in the sense of the album itself. tho also absolutely agree about abap but it's interesting to Me that happiness is very fleeting in the sense that its trying to rebuild a sort of happiness or. contentment? forgiveness? in the face of regret and remorse and painful nostalgia so. perhaps no fob album is purely actually happy fkjsndkfs

sorry ive been so off tumblr these past few weeks, only popping in for the games, but tbf lately the situation here has become so unbearable i would rather not deal with fandoms at all

like i know ive said before this is my blog for whatever fandom im into at the moment and i make it a point to keep my personal life & whatever is going on in the country at the moment out of it, because this is for fun stuff only. but lately it's so hard trying to find joy when the country keeps being destroyed.

today the president virtually revoked the constitutional right to strike to what amounts to around the 70-75% of the workforce in the whole country. via an executive order. today again the elderly will protest infront of the congress and get teargased/hit by the police. like every single wednesday since march of 2024. today it marks a month since me, personally, along with every single worker on my field are denied our due salary rise because the government won't allow it. we still have people who have lost everything on the floods and the government won't help them. people have died. and so on and so forth. idk how much longer this will keep going until something happens and the whole country implodes, again. but it really is draining and it's hard to even care about anything else

[music-orthemisery]

the fact that he did nothing compares 2 u in tourdust bc pete asked.... well!!!!!!!

it certainly means nothing. nothing at all. completelyyyy inconsequential.

it also doesn't mean anything that pete wrote that fuckin blog post in may of 2007 and it doesn't mean anything that patrick covered that song multiple times on his solo tour post-blondegate (aka post 4th of july 2011) and it doesn't mean ANYTHING that he has played songs in the medley that directly parallel to songs from some of their hardest times and instead of them sounding sad and somber they sound proud and triumphant and...

WELL!

"play us a song, love"

i adore this video so a few things:

patrick saying he hasn’t “shaven” in a while instead of “shaved.” my beautiful illiterate boy

what the hell is he shaving. he couldn’t grow a beard until 2015

“john mccain, patrick stump, barack obama - now that’s a sandwich i’d like to eat” peter shut up

patrick interrupting pete constantly

pete’s “that’s not a very nice thing to say 😅”

it’s funny bc like. they do own a record label together so they sort of already are like pres/vp

“i’m sure i would have said all this awful shit then be like uhhh… he’s a great man” sounds like a vp we currently know pareick predicting the 2024 election 16 years ago

patrick implying pete would be better at foreign policy bc he spent summers in switzerland is so fucking hero worship my head is spinning

how did they move so quickly into the topic of ryan seacrest.

conclusion: top tier peterick moment. an intimate look into their lives behind the scenes 10/10

^ this guy gets it

the thing about it is that really at the end of the day the peterick v. frerard poll is representative of a much greater societal issue and that societal issue is ignorance. see when faced with a choice between something true and beautiful but unknown truly to somebody and something familiar but relatively passé, when we get down to it a person usually if they lack a curious mind is far more likely to choose the option they are familiar with. and here we see our issue. it’s not that in most cases there is anything inherently cruel about choosing something you find comfortable it’s just that when it comes down to brass tacks you need to face the fact that the comfortable option is not going to be the option which is really beautiful and true. i’m available to talk about this at length

im so glad you like my dumb tags <3 and you're so right for bringing up fake out & sgrn specially. imho i think there's this narrative tread that runs all through fake out until flu game (and is later picked up back on smfs title record) that's just the point of the album??? like it's fitting they're in the middle of it bc that's the *point*. that sense of sorrow and mourning for missed chances but ultimately acceptance for the past that can't be changed and joy in the present thats at the core of smfs. like that egt ask you reblogged. and i forgot to put this on my tags but imho i think that's why that bit from reality bites is there right in the middle & why they opened every tourdust show with it. sometimes all you can do is find joy in the little bits of life in spite of how bleak everything else is or seems to be (also also i can't remember the exact quote but i know there was a show when pete said something along the lines of thanking the fans for turning such a sad album into something so special and that's it. that's the point. literally finding the glow inside the darkness. God i need to lie down. so much for stardust the album that you are)

Hey Daeluin! Sorry this took me a second to get to, but yes I love what you are saying regarding the theme running through from fake out in the middle of the album, I absolutely agree with that, and knowing that Pete has said they are very intentional with track order, I think as you said that's very much *the point* of how those songs are put together. I was juuuuuust thinking about how well the reality bites clip fits into the album the other day too and although I don't always let it play through it's such a good little bit of glue bringing it all together there. Imo I feel like SGRN would have fit a bit better after it but thats just me being picky really.

When I listen to SMFS I often think too of the line from save rock and roll, I need that dark in a little more light, just like finding the glow in the darkness, that darkness and light aren't separate but that life is about accepting their coexistance. It's interesting if you think about mania as the preceding album because there's a lot of frustration and tension and a feeling of fighting against something, whereas stardust has the feeling of acceptance and letting everything else fall away that you've been fighting against. Anyways I think I may have lost the plot a bit here, but thanks for the ask as always!

hey i used to get insane troll messages all the time and they stopped when i blocked daeluin (who is a 34 year old man in the fob fandom). i dont have any definitive proof it was him beyond a hunch but yea

good to know! yeah I have like. 170 followers so I rarely get asks in general so I was a little caught off guard from a random rape threat in my inbox lmao. especially bc my posts getting to most notes rn are one of the illustration thesis pieces and a post joking about some odd shit pete wentz said like 15 years ago or smth. so imagine my shock.

#you guys obviously have never met an argentinian man who is so confident in their capacity to speak a language they don't know#that they somehow fumble into saying a slur#bien x pancho reinventando el lunfardo 🫡

@daeluin desperate to know what this means... pls

ok but we're all missing the important question here... WHO in the vatican has taught the spanish-speaking pope how to say faggotry in italian. how on earth did it come up. was it a prank. was it political sabotage. is there homosexual tomfoolery afoot in santa marta. I need to know more

[thekidsarentalright]

wait i though we were doing trans femme pete. if we're including trans man pete i can't recommend "at some point it becomes true" by sceptick & whatimages enough (https://archiveofourown.org/works/2019858).

like that fic is a beast but jfc it must be one of my favorite fics about being transmasc in any fandom

(also if we're including fics that are more about feminization: https://archiveofourown.org/works/53044546 everyone read the Allie fic now!!!!!) (also also https://archiveofourown.org/works/4482311/chapters/10189727 another omegaverse dealing with non traditional genders) (ok ok im gone now my job is done)

any gender fic is welcome for these recs tbh so thank u for even more!!!! everyone read the allie fic for Real, someone else rec’d that too and reminded me about it it’s SO good!!!

[daeluin]

this is insanity

[reaper76bigbang]

hey! I saw u guys were looking for betas so quick question: my english is pretty shitty BUT i'm a native spanish speaker, so can I offer to beta only when the author wants to use spanish -like provide translations or phrases??? or do the betas have to proof all of the fic?

I’m going to answer this in the comm - because I remember some people looking for help with Spanish - would you be okay with folks asking you questions with regards to phrases and correct translations? Because that would be lovely of you.
