I literally cannot overstate how important creative hobbies are when dealing with mental illness. If you can’t draw, there are coloring books. If you can’t write a novel, you can write in short journaling bursts. If you can’t sing in the shower, you can listen to music. Sometimes with mental illness it feels like we have this dark presence inside of us that is bumping around in our brain and organs, causing problems. It helps immensely to let it out.

anthony saying “come here baby boy” to the crowdsurfer, biting (?) him, the guy escaping the security guard to stagedive at the last second, and landing on the crowd perfectly in sync with bombsquad

i do think what ever is going on with my chemical romance and sexuality + gender is more complicated than "these people are straight" or "these people are queer". they ~came out~ as straight a few times. they're gen x. the 90s - 00s were TERRIBLE to nonconforming people. theyre obviously into women. most of their Statements were pre 2016 and now their support is lowkey.

im always reminded of the kurt cobain 1992 advocate quote: “If I wouldn't have found Courtney, I probably would have carried on with a bisexual lifestyle.” of the billie joe armstrong 2010 out mag quote: "But I'd never say that I'm not [bisexual]. I dont really classify myself as anything. And when it comes to sex, there are parts of me that are very shy and conservative. I want to respect my wife." of this entire pete wentz 2008 out article, which ends with the writer's conviction: "So maybe its time for a little fuck-you of our own, at least to the idea that a guy cant be a good queer role model unless he actually has sex with men." of the grant morrison 2022 rolling stone quote: "The 'they' thing was kind of given to me, and I’ve accepted it as a badge of honor."

this was the gen x / 90s - 00s understanding of queerness. this is why i dont trust labels -- they can mean anything. i trust expression and i trust action.

Ernie Ball: String Theory with Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance

[gravehobbler]

Say whatever you want about Frank iero but he is THEE most wattpad self insert type person of all time. He IS that bitch. He found his favorite band and doubled down. He watched and waited and threw his little body around like a bird during mating seasons best attempt at impersonating a one man demolition derby and it worked!! His favorite band asked him to join! He romanced* the front man*! The members are his best friends! They got back together on his birthday! He controls the narrative, this is Frank’s world we are just living in it. NO ONE is doing it like this grubby little new jersian

my chem was genuinely so ahead of their time when they made danger days and in its visual elements alone it was a coherent indictment of corporate aestheticism. punk aesthetics and anything related, anything originally subcultural and transgressive and dark, has been defanged and sold back to you. the meaning has been flattened, it's dead and forgotten like the parade marcher jacket on the half-skeleton abandoned in the desert. everything has been sanitized and stripped and sucked of its soul which is as obviously encapsulated in bl/ind as it is in any recent mcdonalds renovation or "clean" skincare brand instagram feed. "black is no longer dangerous, so what is? color."
