realized I did not post anything about it here fun life event happened

saw mcr. was amazing. vibes were off the charts. little sad I had no chance to get a tour shirt but it was fun I went with my best friend and it was great we had a blast. here's the cute lil message they put up before they walked out onstage, sick ass fire effects during the intro of mama or sleep i cant remember they both did it and bookended welcome to the black parade which was odd but alright. when i tell you i grabbed my friend when they started playing the intro voicemail to sleep, and the second of two times gerard straight up laid on the floor which to be fair! that was in the encore he deserved floor time we made him come back

i get u 100% and OMG dont even get me started, vertigo is probs still my fav tt by drippin and atp im SO pissed at whoever decided to nuke universe (i heard somehwere it was hybe whe nthey also killed vlive? fuck hybe. even if it wasnt them u get me) the werewolf stuff was SO nice nd im sooo..... slams fists on the floor abt it!!!!!!! and yeah i love the trilogy still nd i obviously love vertigo but i also feel like... idk even apart from all the stuff that came out, those darker concepts... idk, they feel even more incomplete without lex?? maybe thats a weird take. i always thought he rocked stuff like the one and vertigo (his parts in vertigo are my fav of his overall of the tts) and maybe i just think this bc i miss him shsgdfg. OBVIOUSLY on the other hand im v glad he isnt here to be made uncomfortable by the company/styling/etc though knowing prior stylings and decisions its likely enough he already had been subjected to stuff he didnt want and that thought....... :(

LITERALLY… RIGHT AS DRIPN STORYLINE STARTED TOO I’M SO…. i adored the idea of werewolf dripn 😭😭 even for just the like .. cheesiness of it uknow 😭😭

but i get what u mean !! it def feels a bit empty without lex :( it’s been so long since he’s been… seen….. 🥹🥹🥹 nd yeah he def fits the vibe of vertigo nd the one that .. :( but yeah also with how uncomfortable / vocal they’ve been abt this type of concept… super super glad lex wasn’t made to be apart of it (even tho i miss him… can’t imagine how uncomfortable HE would b if even guk nd dyun are being vocal abt their discomfort u know) — like i rlly hate that wllim showed how much they prioritize trends / being diff over their own artists’ comfort :<<

I know you're right, but I'd still love to see the examples if you wanted to post them!

YES i love a good excuse to talk meta about johnny… ok, proof that johnny gat isnt just a dumb, stoic bruiser and is actually a snarky dork whos far more perceptive than he lets on. also he genuinely cares about his friends

johnny IS good at planning… it just has to involve violence or destruction of some kind. hes practically a genius at improvised murder. outside of that though, he doesnt really know what to do, and he actually kinda admits this himself

like, this sure sounds like a plan if ive ever heard one. or this. i could go on

according to a homie conversation with kinzie, he could run the gang, he just doesnt want to (x)

if it wasnt for johnny, he, boss, and shaundi would absolutely have died on lorens plane. johnny was about to be executed when he ripped the chair he was tied to out of the floor, and it doesnt seem like boss or shaundi would have been able to save him or escape themselves if he hadnt done anything. i dont think boss even had a plan there (x)

hes also the one who figures out that matt and asha didnt betray them (x)

take this entire scene from sr1. the second playa is conscious again, johnny stands up to draw tanya and tonys attention away to keep them from noticing, and provokes tony so he can make an opening for playa to escape. so not only is he a) smarter than people give him credit for, but b) hes also willing to risk his life and potentially sacrifice himself for playa, someone he barely knows

btw this is his expression when he tells you to run

theres actually a lot of examples of johnny looking out for other people (mostly boss, but other people too) at his own expense. in sr2 he stops his fight with jyunichi (who LITERALLY just murdered his girlfriend) in order to save the boss from potentially being gunned down in the middle of the room, and gets tossed to the floor because of it. if it wasnt for jyunichi stopping it, gat would have been shot to death right there (x). in the same scene he also prioritizes checking on the boss after they yelled for him over paying attention to the fight, and gets run through with a sword. in srtt he stays behind on lorens plane in order to cover boss and shaundis escape, despite the fact that hed already been stabbed. in gat out of hell, he originally planned to risk his life to rescue the boss all on his own (x) and also disarmed at his own (and through him, potentially the boss’) risk in order to save jezebel, who he also barely knew, from her father (x). hes actually remarkably selfless for a dude who loves to, yknow, kill people

gives aisha flowers even though thats not his kind of thing at all, because she felt like he didnt appreciate her enough (x) (x) and judging from the identical ones in her house in sr2, we can assume he continued to do so

according to the evil version of boss from ashas simulation, johnny “cried like a little bitch” when aisha died (x) hes also shown crying over her body in his own simulation as well (x)

during his personal mission in sriv he not only talks about his feelings for once without prompting (x) but also asks boss about their own personal nightmare, and if they were ok after it (x) (x). he ALSO awkwardly tries to comfort boss about his “death” and implies that he missed them too (x)

ever tried to romance him twice in a row? if, not heres what he says. the guy is a huge nervous dork as much as he tries to hide it

has a homie conversation where he actually sits and comforts shaundi about his “death”, apologizes that she had to go through all that, and promises her hes not going anywhere again (please listen to it on the wiki page if you havent heard it before, its so good)

literally goes to hell for his best friend, worries about them while idle (i cant find a video that has this dialogue but i can tell you without a doubt its in the game. he says ”hope the boss is okay…”), and gets so worried that he wont manage to save them in time that hes anxiously pacing around the room while going on a song-rant about it
