[Text ID: “Legacy:

Though the band distanced themselves from the album initially, Folie à Deux has seen renewed acclaim in recent years. It has been widely described as ambitious, and "radically different". Stereogum's Annie Zaleski praised the "gigantic leaps in songwriting." In 2023, Stump described their eighth album, So Much for Stardust, as "what would it have sounded like if we had made a record right after Folie instead of taking a break for a few years." For the album's fifteenth anniversary, the band issued "Pavlove", a song only available on deluxe versions of the album, to streaming services for the first time. Additionally, the band released a vinyl reissue, plus merchandise and apparel celebrating the album's anniversary. The same year, the band also resumed performing many of the album's songs live, including "Headfirst Slide"and "Disloyal Order Of Water Buffaloes". "I feel like we're gonna work some more of it in at future shows," Wentz confirmed.”]

Folie has a legacy section on her wikipedia page now 🥲🥲

[Text ID: “I asked P.W. whether he looks for someone shorter than him when dating. ‘I look for someone I can share clothes with, to be honest with you,’ he replied with a straight, as it were, puss. ‘That's probably my number one goal. Not really undergarments...well, maybe, I don't really know.’"]

im always looking for the interview where pw said he buys clothes for the communal fall out boy closet, and instead

[ID: Two gifs of Pete Wentz singing while holding his bass guitar over his head. He is wearing a black sleeveless shirt with the Save Rock And Roll volcano on it in white. There is a paper sign taped to the bass that reads, in all caps. “we don’t know when to quit...”]

One year later this is our love letter back to you.

[ID: Three photos of Pete Wentz, Andy Hurley, Patrick Stump, and Joe Trohman sitting side by side.

The first is the album art from Take This To Your Grave. The photo has a blue wash and all four of them are sitting on a broken futon against a brick wall, looking at the camera with neutral but slightly defiant expressions.

The second photo is a recreation of the previous one. It is also blue-tinged and shows the four of them in the same order against the same brick wall, ten years later in 2013.

The final photo is a concert selfie of the band in 2024, in full color. The crowd is behind them and they are seated in the same order on an oversized futon set piece. Pete and Patrick are smiling, while Joe is staring intensely at the camera. Andy is sticking his tongue out and making a “rock on” hand shape, with his thumb, pointer, and pinkie extended and the back of his hand facing out, and Pete is giving a thumbs up.]

[Text ID: “Pete Wentz is visibly emotional throughout the evening, tears verging on crashing down his cheeks every time he talks into the mic, and you can understand why. Everyone here feels it, too.

This is for the dreamers, for those who never gave up when the world wanted them to stop.”]

Patrick Stump: I've led a pretty good, pretty honest life. I really haven't done a lot of the crazy stuff. So I would go out in a blaze of glory. Just all-sex, drugs, and rock n' roll. If I knew it was over, I was just gonna die, and there were really no consequences- and here's the thing, I wouldn't want to do anything bad, I'd want to spend time with the people I like and have fun and whatever- but I think that's probably the way to go out. If you had any friends with you, I don't know- again, I haven't really done that many drugs, I'd try that- I'd eat a really awesome meal- I'd try to pick up any chicks that weren't zombies yet- again, if there's no ramifications. And if I was married and I had kids, I would probably want to spend time with my wife and kids.

But where I am now, if it happened right here ... where's the drugs? And I don't even know drugs, I don't know where to start with that- I would feel like that one episode of Degrassi where this kid gets caught selling "drugs" and they don't even go into what drugs he was doing. And that's how naive I am about illicit substances- but I would be like, "pardon me, do you have any drugs?"]

[Image ID: a drawing of patrick stump and joe trohman from fall out boy. they're both singing headfirst slide into cooperstown into a bad bet from their record folie a deux, specifically the verse "keep a calendar this way you will always know". the last 2 words are written way fancier than the rest of the lyrics, to picture joe's high pitched backup vocals on that part of that song./.End ID]
