[angstics]

i finally articulated my opinion on my "is gerard way doing drag" question. my definition of drag is when a person impersonates, exaggerates, or appropriates a mode of gender expression. drag can be artistic or political (or both). drag can be an identity. drag and transgender identity are confused as the same thing. for some, it is. what is considered cross dressing can also be considered drag. it's important to note that drag is essential to queer culture, and how the us government harasses queer people through cross dressing, and now anti-drag, laws. we wouldnt be here talking about pop artists doing drag without drag performers and nonbinary-trans-gnc people.

to some people, a self-identified man in a female-identified dress is drag. "cross dressing" depends on cishet norms. queer people, especially nonbinary-trans-gnc people, have called to dismantle the assignment of gender to clothing. under that lens, a man in a dress is just a man in a dress -- for it to be drag, context and intent matters. that's how you get women doing female drag, or androgynous people doing what gerard way's been doing this last year on tour.

in asking "is gerard way doing drag?", im assigning importance to the topic. does it matter? within my understanding, drag is about intent and context as much as gender presentation. intent and context is what makes something important. therefore: understanding why the question is important solves it.

male music artists have a long history of cross dressing and doing drag. there's a good chance plugging any dude into a search engine with "drag" or "skirt" will bring something up. bowie, queen, nirvana, manic street preachers, placebo. here's a list. newer artists: lil nas x, harry styles, anthony green, pete wentz, young thug. some are impersonating female caricatures, some are masculinizing female clothes (long, ill-fitting, straight). some, like molko and lil nas, wear feminine clothes without exaggerating or masculinizing. gerard is in that same grey area.

male music artists have a long history of cross dressing and doing drag -- photos: "i want to break free" mv by queen (1984) / placebo in london (oct 1998) / lil nas x at audacy beach festival (dec 5, 2021) / fall out boy at rock for people (june 17, 2022)

all that history is why it was so weird when kerrang called gerard's riot fest "dress and heels" "a compelling show of contrarian anti-rock star eccentricity". it is not anti-rock star, at least not as described. it may be compelling, contrarian, and eccentric, but no reviewer really cares to analyze why. the closest they get is by identifying non-binary connection (them.us) and its relation to the "minefield that is American gender politics today" (latimes.com).

fans were struck by way's outfits for a lot of other reasons.

1. we have to get it out of the way that they just looked hot -- gerard is perpetually attractive, skirts are pretty. easy equation.

2. he has a long history of gender nonconformity. more on that in my #mcr queer studies tag. gerard is a 45 year old famously androgynous person who doesnt do labels, aligns himself with gender nonconformity (2014 reddit ama, 2018 advocate article, 2015 he/they tweet), and doesnt seem to care to be known as a man.

3. the tour outfits were well-fitted. many were crafted by skilled designer marina toybina and her team. which leads to ->

4. the outfits were very casual and very feminine. as mentioned, most men opt for masculine, ill-fitting skirts. which is to say they are NOT showing leg and they are definitely not showing ass. gerard doesnt steer clear from shortness or tightness or movement. he also dresses in ways people dress day to day -- the miniskirt is as casual as the shorts as casual as the jeans. there's some discussion to be had about what casual means -- he could be imitating expected presentation or just using basics, like his frequent shirt and pants.

the miniskirt is as casual as the shorts as casual as the jeans -- photos: firefly music festival (sept 23, 2022) / uncasville (sept 1, 2022) / eden project night 1 (may 16, 2022)

5. there was variety. many outfits, many types. he wasnt just doing pure femininity. some looks were high concept, some low concept. some gendered, some genderless. some feminine, some masculine. it was playful. its honesty evident in its fluidity yet cohesiveness. expanded in the next points ->

6. they incorporate elements of masculinity and gender neutrality concurrent with the feminine. his aggressive, energetic performance style often doesnt mind what people are seeing when his skirt lifts or shirt droops. he has little to no make-up -- if he does, it's stage and not glam. the closest he gets is the agender black swan look at boston night 1, the stage contour at wwwy night 3, and dubious lipstick at firefly. he also maintains the same hairstyle: barely styled, not straightened-curled. pinned a few times, gelled back some other times.

7. the character outfits weren't caricatures, like green's sleazy hooker or queen's uptight housewives. gerard's characters were appropriated but not exaggerated. cheerleader, nurse, manson girl, jackie o, princess diane, st joan. all figures of pop culture. he wore them as they were. even comparing green and way's similar white-green cheerleader costumes there's a difference in presentation. green wears long leggings, way wears shorts. green's costume is based on a stranger things character, way's is a custom remade vintage outfit. green exhibits the masculinization of feminine clothes which way subverts. this comparison highlights what makes way's outfits different, and therefore exciting to talk about.

green exhibits the masculinization of feminine clothes which way subverts -- photos: saosin in garden grove, ca (oct 27, 2022) / mcr in nashville, tn (aug 23, 2022)

8. and when he played with masculinity, it was in a way that was dubbed "boydrag". the new jersey night 2 casino singer look was a dramatic caricature that heightened masculine features until they were pure style... the defintion of camp. he had a mustache -- thin like john waters or a confirmed bachelor, and drawn on with eyeliner. he had a suit -- a pink-gold, glittery woman's cut jacket with a glittery bowtie and pleated shirt. the dramatic flair is accentuated by the black eye make-up, the frank sinatra "my way" cover, the drum tag: "the house always wins".

the defintion of camp -- photos: new jersey night 2 (sept 21, 2022) 1 / 2

when i asked which outfits others considered drag, all replies identified the casino singer and jackie o as drag and the rest as "just clothes". this relation made me understand why the rest couldnt be drag despite all the connections i talked about above. the jackie o outfit doesnt exaggerate the source like casino singer, but the source itself is both highly dramatic and highly gendered. cheer is gendered but not highly dramatic, st joan dramatic but not highly gendered. diane is gendered and dramatic, but not highly. the list goes on and on. it's a fine line. especially cheer could tip into drag for me.

but the source itself is both highly dramatic and highly gendered -- photos: mcr at riot fest (oct 12, 2022) / jackie kennedy onassis (jan 3, 1971)

if drag is understood in this way, simply wearing gendered clothes isnt drag. the look itself has to be about the performance of gender, however that may be presented. that’s the importance of classification. we can see what the artist is doing.

Yandere! Stereotypical! Emo x Stereotypical! Popular bitch! Reader

Okay, so this is a songfic... NSFW at it's most, a lime at it's least.

Not the songfic that has lyrics on them, but fics that are heavily inspired by songs. And this time, it's Emo Boy by Ayesha Erotica.

I'm not that knowledgable with Emos to be fair... I'm only doing it in a way where the fic reads like a stereotypical late 90's and early 20's teen flick! I think. I hope.

Also, the bitch here means someone who sleeps around quite a lot, and not the mean type. Just wanna put that out there.

So, I do apologize if I offended someone ಥ‿ಥ

Like any song fic, I recommend listening to Emo Boy while reading.

Yandere! Emo name: Ashton

TW: stereotypical Emo, stereotypical popular bitch

Ashton always had a fascination with the Emo lifestyle. He loved the music associated with it, especially the people indulging in the lifestyle. He loved how emotional and in tune they are with their emotions and is not afraid to show who they are.

When the got the opportunity to study senior high school in a small yet lively town, he knew he had to grab it.

And when he finally got out of the grasps of his conservative family, he felt free.

No more people calling him demon worshipper, finally (although, now that he thinks about it, aren't the goths the one being called demon worshippers?)

So with black skinny jeans, long, dark black hair that covered his eyes, rings, piercings, chains, sneakers, and a graphic tee shirt, he knew he was ready.

But what he didn't expect was being ostracized by being Emo.

But then, don't people like him always get bullied?

With a grumble while sitting on his chair, all alone, he gripped his pen while in the middle of writing a poem.

"Nobody understands me." Ashton muttered, his dark eyes a stormy grey.

This school he's in is filled with stereotypes, he just realized. Mean Jocks and Cheerleaders, two faced popular bitches, pushover nerds, slobbery otakus, social outcasts... He wonders if his life is a real life teen flick.

So rather than dive into the complicated social hierarchy, he just sits in his seat, reading and listening to MCR and P!ATD just like a true stereotype.

His life filled with such deep melancholy as he trudged in this hormone filled prison that he calls a school.

Hmm. He should write that in his journal.

But then he woke up in his bedroom, his hair having a cowlick he can't put down.

Okay... That's weird.

Then, when he tried to tease and straighten his hair, it won't budge, forcing him to let it stay wavy/curly and covet his eyes just like that.

Then, his favorite graphic tee was eaten by rats...

And his sneakers were accidentally bleached...

Then, as if the day was mocking him, it was really sunny and hot, smiling and cooking him in his dark ensemble.

"What the fuck..."

He suddenly felt a foreboding dread inside of him.

When he got in the school and sat down at his seat at the back, he heard whispers of a new person transferring to this school.

The talk of the town, y/n, was now being speculated which clique they will belong in.

And when they rolled in a pink rover, the school crowd knew they're going to be in the popular rich kids.

Immediately, you integrated into the clique like it was a natural thing to do.

With your quite the revealing clothes, your bimbo/himbo like personality, and your knack for bedding people if you wanted, you got into the social hierarchy just like that. Labeled as the slut, you paraded around the school with that title with your newfound friends.

Trendy, social, quite the airhead, yet charming in your own right, and such a seductive figure too. Nobody can resist your charms.

Not even Ashton.

He tried to fight back the attraction he had with you, and your fashionable pink fit, and fluttery eyelashes.

But he can't.

The hierarchy said no, and his brain also says no.

Yet his heart sings yes.

And he always follows his feelings and his heart.

It was small efforts at first. Poems, love letters filled with such romantic words.

All slipped in your locker, in a cute pink envelop and a sweet sampaguita smell on it.

You knew who it was from, and you loved it.

"Are you really interested in that Emo boy in the HUMSS department?" One of your friends asked, sipping on a disguised flask of alcohol.

You and your friends are in the rooftop, hanging out and skipping classes. Gossip flies out of your mouths and recent "relationships."

"Yeah I am. He's cute and funny... And him being soooo in touch with his emotions is soooo hot." You said, a typical valley accent on your tone.

You twirled your hair and bit your lip, a hot feeling in your body.

You really don't know why you're so attracted to him.

"I just really want to see and feel how good in bed he is." You nonchalantly added, fanning yourself a bit.

Your other friends grimaced a bit.

"... Really? But he's so..."

"Dark."

"Weird."

"And so complicated with his words."

"He's also always alone and listens to those sad emo bands."

You huffed and cocked your hips to the side.

"Hey! He's emotional and deep!" You rolled your eyes. "Besides, I just want to fuck him. I mean, I haven't been with an emo boy."

You thought back to how Ashton walks away from you in those tightest skinny jeans, his ass round and his legs toned.

You wondered really as to why you're so... Desperate to fuck him. Because most of the time, other people are the ones who want to fuck you.

Frustration welled up inside you as you groaned.

"Yeah I truly wonder why myself." You grumbled.

You grabbed the letter from your back pocket, reading Ashton's poem for you.

I burn for you. Your lips so tantalizing, So pillowy and so sacred. It's something I, so lowly am I, Cannot dream of locking with mine. I do not need to know if you're the devil, Tantalizing as you are, Or the deity you claim to be in my dreams, Bringing retribution to my dark and dreary life. Your body so tempting, I want to embrace and bury myself within you. I want to claim and mark you as my own, My bleeding heart corrupting your alluring self. But I know I can't. So I only look at you with starry eyes, As you shine the most beautiful in a pedestal that I molded in your visage.

You understood the poem a bit, and it irritated you.

"What do you mean you'll not pursue me?!" You yelled, gripping the letter. "I can't believe he'll confess like this and not... Go for me?!"

Your friends chuckled and read the poem and was surprised to see how whimsical this confession of lusty attraction is.

"Wow... Okay, I give you my blessing to bed him." One of your friends said and you rolled your eyes and snatching the poem away from him.

"I know. And I'm trying." You spat out. "I need a stress reliever. Let's go shopping."

What you didn't know is that Ashton is listening to your confession, and is fighting the urge to take you then and there.

He smirked and tried to calm his fast beating heart as he slowly unbuckled his pants, lust filling him as he continued to replay your confession of wanting to fuck him.

Maybe next poem will be an invitation to his house.

The sound of bed creaking filled the dark room, along with the pants and moans of two people indulging in the desire of flesh.

"Hmm fuck... Ashton..."

"Y/n you're so tight..."

You moaned as Ashton continued to thrust inside of you, his throat audibly clearing as sweat trickled down his throat.

Your eyes trailed down his body, loving the feeling of being under this man.

The hot and damp air encased the two of you, giving a secure and secret paradise, away from the prying eyes.

"Harder Ashton!" Your raspy voice demanded, gripping his arm as he pushed your thighs to the sides of your torso, bending your back as he went deeper, faster, and harder.

"God you make me feral..." Ashton groaned out, feeling your walls squeeze around him stubbornly, not wanting to let go as he pushed you into a mating press in an animalistic need to bury himself deep within you.

The bed creaked violently, accompanying the orchestra of your moans and groans as you both desperately reached your high, and when he spilled inside of you, you knew that you wanted more.

So you kissed him on the lips deeply, interlocking your tongue with his as you both worked into getting into it again.

Yet, as Ashton smirked and gripped your thigh once more, ready to go, a stray perfume bottle rolled under the bed from the movement, a label on the bottle printed "love potion" on it.

A sweet smell of sampaguita permeating as a drop fell on the floor, glowing.

So if you don't get it, Ashton sprays the love potion on the poems he gives you, making you irrationally desperate for him as he is for you xx.

This or That?

i love this! 🫶🏻🤍 when i tell you i got so excited when i saw this in my inbox!!

child levi or postwar levi

definitely post-war. while i adore child levi and want to pick him up and just hug him close, postwar levi needs just as much love (if not more). postwar levi is all about the balance between remembering those who he fought with, those he lost, and those who he loved before and in learning to accept each day as it comes, by finding new ways to help others to find a way to take all the suffering of the war and rumbling and turn it into something beautiful.

acwnr or sc levi

this was hard. i re-read acwnr when i need a break from studying. so much so my roommate is likely concerned about how much i re-read it lol. however, survey corps levi has that sense of found family in his squad that i am a SUCKER for. also ngl a man in uniform? *passes out*

vampire levi or angel levi

i’m not sure i like what this choice reveals about me…that man deserves literal sainthood (insert “he’s the best guy around” tiktok audio here). however, vampire levi…is hot as hell. it’s the horns i think (or is that demon?)

janitor levi or cleaning levi

the bandanas. nuff said.

junior high or no name ??

call me illiterate, but…i know junior high (the tv show) but…idk what no name is. someone please explain in the comments or in my inbox pls. 🥺

chibi levi or sauna levi

i LOVE chibi levi. he’s adorable. i have this little artwork of chibi neko levi that i adore. it just too cute!

badtzmaru levi or catvi

considering i adore the little neko levi artworks so much, i have to go with catvi, but i most certainly love badtzmaru too!

steampunk levi or grim reaper levi

okay, so i had a short mcr/fallout boy/imagine dragons era. for that reason, i HAVE to go with steam punk levi, but the hange steampunk artwork just might have been the best out of that whole set!

bandaged levi or professor levi

this man needs some appreciation here. he made bandages trendy like a fashion icon. jk. as a education major, i cannot handle professor x student fics. as far as artwork goes, i will generally always prefer canon verse official art, but i will always be giddy over ANY levi artwork!

THANKS FOR SENDING THISSS :) 🫶🏻🥰🩵

[heart-shaped-system]

Heart Shaped System

Hello! We are a dissociative system, our collective pronouns are she/her, we’re 20, and we generally use the name Anna. The main fronters here are Prism, Tori, and Anna.

Prism is really into witchcraft and psychology. She says that they’re both very similar in practice and in theory. They both have very similar principles. She also likes like cottage core/chic type fashion. She is currently studying psychology at a community college. She’s like the mom of the system.

Anna is into music as well as psychology too. She originally planned on becoming a music therapist, but we decided to take a more generalized approach, as it’s more accessible than music therapy is in most states. Plus she didn’t want to turn her hobby into work. She also like a wide variety of music, but it all falls under alternative rock. She’s the one who wears all black lol.

Tori is a punk. She's the protector but she can be very mean, and she's very messy. Shee likes hardcore music, she likes to sew shit to my clothes and go to shows. She also plays music but it’s a lot more stripped down than Anna’s style of music. She actually wanted to be a sound engineer for a little while there.

We’re going to use this blog however we want to at any given point. You will see witchy stuff, you’ll see MCR stuff, you’ll see whatever whoever feels like posting any time. :)

Bigots, endos, and accounts with nothing posted will be blocked. DNI. Seriously. If you’re even remotely associated with endogenic systems just block me.

[chloe12801]

Introduction post

Hello! My name is Chloé, I’m in my early twenties, bisexual, and I’m currently going to college for psychology as well as environmental studies. I have a puppy named Ella Stein (after Frankie Stein) and here are some other facts about me:

☀️Sagittarius,🌙Libra,⬆️Cancer (Astrology is fun!)

Fluent in English, know some French (could probably survive a conversation)

Favorite musicians: Lana Del Rey, Miley Cyrus, Rico Nasty, Eminem, Nirvana, and MCR

I consider myself a music enthusiast. I collect physical copies, collectibles, merch, and am always trying to diversify my music taste/knowledge. As a result, we probably enjoy some of the same artists :)

I also collect monster high dolls, crystals/rocks, and pins

I love animals, I want to use my degrees to do something involving them

Favorite video games: GTA (mainly V, haven’t finished IV or played any other), RDR (2, need to buy and play the first one), Fallout 4/NV/76, and the Sims

I’m very much in love with Trevor Philips

I am a proud lover of old men, average Lana stan moment

I am a creative, I have dabbled in music/art/edits/videos/written work/clothes/upcycling/photography

I am an immersive daydreamer. This means I have deep lore filled daydream universes that go on for years. Ex: I have one with an OC and Trevor that I thought up around 2 years ago. I really should write it down bc it’s essentially fanfiction

I love vintage stuff, particularly 60s-00s

I like girly, grunge, coquette, goth, and rave type fashion. Combining this with vintage and you get my style

I’m really into aesthetics, I’ve been making themed boards on Pinterest and weheartit since middle school

I LOVE horror, the rare times I watch movies they are almost always horror (or cinematic bc I like visuals)

I like visiting cemeteries, I just find them peaceful and nice to remember those who aren’t around anymore

If I’m watching tv shows, I’m usually watching children’s cartoons. My favorites: Regular Show, SpongeBob, Adventure Time, and The Amazing World of Gumball

I’m usually watching YouTube though, mostly stuff with video game or horror themes

I’m shy (probably bc of my GAD) but very friendly and non-judgmental so feel free to talk and interact with me, I have a hard time making the first move sometimes

On top of having GAD, I also have major depressive disorder, OCD (mainly contamination), body dysmorphia, recovering from an ED, and other symptomatic issues stemming from these things like anger issues

I tag all posts I add something to/create with #cafa / #cafaoc

I think this is a pretty solid start to knowing me, of course there’s a lot more to me than this but yeah welcome to my account! :)

Last year while studying Wuthering Heights for school and simultaneously falling into an MCR obsession I made this list. Enjoy.

Heathcliff’s life as told through MCR songs (sequentially following Lockwood and Nelly’s narration from the beginning of the book to Heathcliff’s death):

The Ghost of You 

I never told you what I do for a living 

The only hope for me is you 

It’s not a fashion statement, it’s a fucking death-wish 

Cubicles 

Give Em Hell kid 

The Jetset life is going to kill you  

Thank you for the venom 

Vampires will never hurt you 

Vampire money

Interlude 

Hang ‘em high 

Demolition lovers

I don’t love you 

Kill all your friends 

The sharpest lives 

Teenagers 

Cemetery drive 

Disenchanted 

This is how I disappear 

I’m not okay (I promise) 

To the end 

The end 

Dead 

Famous last words 

Sleep

[angstics]

well gerard as the office worker was dramatic before the blood. the coat, the leather gloves, the props. the insistence to wear practically the same uncomfortable yet sexy outfit is itself soo dramatic. such a strange case of performance art. not drag, not fashion, not casual. just a well dressed business person. when they let the coat fall off their shoulders to the floor during foundations… diva

[yuukei-yikes]

saw the ask about video games and it was so so delightful and now im wondering if you have headcanons on their music taste??? i just really love music so :3

(also. i think seto and marry could play dating sim /other visual novel games together and get Really into it and discuss the story together)

DATING SIMS NOD NOD THATS TRUE. shintaro's also into those. all 3 getting into arguments abt the love interests

ALSO MUSIC HUH... i know i said idk much abt games so it's rly lame that im gonna say i also dont know much abt music.

I HAVE some hcs? for example i think momo listens to pop 100%.... we are living in a material world and im a material girl!! yknow. i feel like momo's room should look like a disney channel teenage girl's room from the 2000s. any 2000s bops playlist is for momo. she also probably looooves kpop. i think hiyori shares her music taste and she's also INSANELY into boy bands like if we assume kagepro takes place in 2013 you know damn well hiyori was a RAGING directioner. and of course hiyori also loves idols in general!!!!

and it's canon that kido's fave bands are radiohead and oasis LOLLL kido is soooo. funny. i think kido had a mcr phase and all that. was super into panic at the disco and all those other bands popular in 2013... crying to simple plan's im just a kid... (not derogatory cuz my thing with music is that i listen a bit of everything and i dont think any music is cringe❤️) kidomomo is amazing to me... can a y2k bimbo girlie and a mall goth fall in love??? (they can)

i think shintaro listens to a lot of vocaloid and anime ops lol but i think he'd listen to pretty much anything?? since he's a musician he's interested in listening to all kinds of music, and he's into discovering smaller artists too. he probably prefers stuff more on the chill side. i think shintaro keeps gifting momo earbuds in a passive aggressive way but momo keeps BLASTING her music. so shintaro ends up memorizing a bunch of her music and bursts into song with momo a lot. do not take this from me. like once he realises that he's scream singing britney spears toxic with momo he stops but He does it. i know so.

i dont have strong opinions on seto, mary, kano and hibiya?? i think hibiya doesnt even listen to the radio cuz his ass didnt know who the hell momo was LMAOOOO if u have any ideas for seto mary and kano let me know... i feel like no one would know kano's music taste bc at least personally i always feel so vulnerable abt my music taste. ppl are so mean about it and what u listen to. i think kano would completely hide it and lie abt what he actually likes listening to.

HARUKA AND AYANO i think share music taste. im also not sure what they'd listen to though i just know they share their fashion sense and music taste. i know so. they probably listen to taylor swift or something. lofi hip hop beats to study to bitches.

takane obviously loves music. headphone bitch. shes canonically into rock, haruka's first description of takane is the best ever he says something like. she has a mischievous smile, dark circle under her eyes and her headphones around her neck had rock music playing he could hear from his seat. also haruka mentions takane went to see a rock concert that was held at their school before they attended. so she's also into concerts. sorry i love takane she's so cool hehe.. i think takane's rly into punk/garage/alt rock kinda stuff. i think she listens to stuff like mike krol, slutever, be your own pet.. the louder the better. the more the singer screams the better.

sorry for linking my takane playlist again but i think she'd actually listen to some of the music there OK🙄🙄🙄!!!!! i actually went to my playlist bc i read this ask and then got lost in the sauce and added a few more songs LOL

[lettersfrombeyondthegrave]

You wanna talk about Oz having a lyric that applies to him in almost every single fucking three cheers song? No let's talk about it

And I'm giving few examples here lads just few lil examples cus oh I could go on I could write for fuckin days about it let me tell you but I don't have time I ain't even analyzing it can you believe it? I cannot find the post anymore which I'll have to look into but I was already talking ab Oz and also Ed and all the lyrics that applies from mcr but now as I was saying

I left out Helena, maybe it could apply bc of how he lives the death of his mother but I ain't sure anyway

Give 'em hell kid

"if you were here I'd never have a fear, so go on live your life but I miss you more than yesterday, you're so far away so go on show me how cus I mean this more than words will ever say" Ed always being some kind of trigger into reacting and getting back on his feet but also the fucking pining every two episodes

To the end

"say goodbye to the vows you take, to the life you make, to the heart you break, and all the cyanide you drank, to the last parade, as the parties fade and the choice you made to the end" all the anger towards the betrayal of Ed after everything they went through also the cyanide could be a bit like Ed's pills yk this is more ab Ed but ya

Prison

I'd have to copy and paste the entire song. I don't think there's anything I gotta say for this one.

I'm not okay

Nothing needs to be said once again.

The ghost of you

"And I remember now, at the top of my lungs in my arms she dies (..) you are never coming home, could I? Should I?" Reference to literally three of the parental figures he lost in his arms and if you think ab it he never rlly... Goes back to his mother's house? Yk? At some point it just disappear as a space? Also "and all the wound that are ever gonna scar me and all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me if I fall" all the people he left behind and all the people that come back cus no one stays dead in Gotham and oh the scars he got plenty of those

The jetset life is gonna kill you

"until the cops come or by the last light and for the last night I lie, could I lie next to you?" DO I HAVE TO SAY MORE

Thank you for the venom

Literally the entire song "sister I'm not much s poet but a criminal" "I'm just the way the doctor made me on and on and on" "preach all you want but who's gonna save me, I keep a gun in the book you gave me" "give me all your poison and give me all your pills" "you're running after something that you'll never kill"

Hang em high

Same as venom "shotgun sinners, wide eyed jokers, got you in my sight" "don't stop if I fall and don't look back, oh baby don't stop, bury me and fade to black"

It's not a fashion statement

No further comment required.

Cemetery drive

"so I won't stop dying, won't stop lying, if you want I'll keep on crying, did you get what you deserve? Is this what you always want me for?" This is literally what he does hello

I never told you what I do for a living

"Another knife in my hands, a stain that never comes off the sheets, clean me off, I'm so dirty babe"

No cus

Can you understand how much more could be said it's fucking INSANE add to that his "disco vampire" aesthetic which is just oh so three cheers

And this is just three cheers

there's so much more, I dare to say

Not for every song of the other albums but still so much more I could say

Anyway going to bed I still have a whole month of studying disintegrates
