[Image ID: a digital drawing of pete wentz, Andy hurley, patrick stump and joe trohman from fall out boy, respectively. this drawing recreates the cover art of their album take this to your grave but with their most recent album so much (for) stardust, meaning they're all sitting on a broken couch. in front of them is a doberman dog sleeping. there's a brick wall, wooden floor and a window with blinds on a window. the color palette of the drawing is blue and teal. /.End ID]
genuinely cannot stop thinking about how fucking metal it is that, in a world obsessed with telling people "it'll get better" as a platitude, with no intention of actually putting in the work necessary to make things better, fall out boy came in here and dropped an album with a message that amounts to "it may never get better, but it doesn't have to get better for it to be worth it." an album that says "sometimes pain is part of life, and you don't have to get rid of the pain to love the things you love." an album that says "the bad moments will not make the good moments mean less." an album that says "you will ache for the times that you were numb and felt nothing, and you will wonder if it would be better to be numb again than to feel pain, but i promise you, the living makes the pain bearable."
