y’all. we’re eating lunch at a restaurant. obviously that’s bad enough but. it’s called Helena. and the fucking wifi password. is 2004. which one of you did this.

maybe hot take but i don’t think mcr is going to drop a new album during this tour.

part of the point of touring without an album is that they can play whatever they want. there are far fewer expectations and those that do exist are simply based on trends in what they choose to play. releasing an album would draw in a larger audience, yes, but that audience would show up with expectations about the tour. a major part of the beauty of the UK/EU leg has been the absolute freedom of it. outfits, setlists, even lyrics change from one show to the next. and it has visibly increased their happiness.

now. i do think there is an album. i think it would be awesome if they dropped, say, another single— if foundations is an overture, perhaps before the US leg they will release the entr’acte. however. i really don’t think they’ll release the entire album until at least after this tour. (and then they can tour with it some time 2023–26 as has been repeatedly hinted).

Post-UK/EU leg, here are the lyrics as i think they actually are sung (on stage— the official release has a different lyric in place of “cage all the animals”)

Here it is on the drum:

And swapping between the edited and original photo:

Famous Last Words - My Chemical Romance / Fake Your Death - My Chemical Romance / Requiem - Ray Toro / The Foundations of Decay - My Chemical Romance

[angleofmusings]

y’all i really think the drum might’ve had lyrics for foundations of decay. haven’t got through all of it but the first half of the page all lines up pretty much perfectly. i’m going to come back to this later but it definitely seems like it might work.

happy pride month everyone! i have a hypothesis that you can tell what timeframe someone had most of their interaction with queer spaces/terminology based on how they refer to the community! obviously there are some exceptions and a teen whose exposure is from terfs will use different terminology than a teen whose exposure is from reading archives of queer theory, but in general (alphabetically ordered):

gay — up through the early 21st century, or from rural communities

GLBT — before or during the height of the AIDS epidemic

LGB — 21st century trans-exclusionary radical feminism

LGBT — after the height of the AIDS epidemic through some time in the 2000s–2010s

LGBT+ — mostly used in contrast to LGBTQ+, or by “queer is a slur” radfem-adjacent types

LGBTA — tbh i think the only time i’ve seen this used is the LGBTA wiki (z”l)

LGBTQ — mid–2010s

LGBTQ+ — late 2010s–present

LGBTQIA, LGBTQIA+ — late 2010s–present, but slightly more online

LGBTQIAAPP+, LGBTQQIP2SAA+, etc. — late 2010s online discourse and cancel culture

queer — late 1960s–present, though not as much from anyone immersed in cancel culture

obviously none of these are concrete, just anecdotal observations, and should be treated as such, plus there are always exceptions!

if anyone uses this post to start discourse i’ll hunt you down and put a tiny speaker inside your phone, set to occasionally play a persistent hum at about 8 KHz, quiet enough to almost blend in with background noise but loud enough to be annoying

there’s another event happening with the same arrival time so i get the joy of asking which event people are here for and hoping it isn’t larp people who i just failed to recognize. i want to break something.

I wanna say befriend, but also wanna say adopt. Though I feel that'd be really weird, so befriend. Friendship
