Mm i left bandom space a long long time ago. I mean I'm not that old but ten years ago is still pretty long. And frankly if i overstep lemme know.

Honestly at this point i shouldnt be surprised so many people are actually still inherently racist towards Ray, but also i think, i should be. Because i genuinely expected better from mcr bandom, but again, left bandom spaces a decade ago...

It's pretty sad? Like. I'll admit, I didn't realize Ray was actually a man of colour when i was younger. I think i realized right around the time i left at 15 or so. Which also really goes to show that racism towards him and making him seem as white as possible which definitely i think was a thing. Like in comparison, I knew pete wentz was mixed long before i figured out Ray was a poc. It says a lot about the space at the time and i had honestly thought it'd be better now.

I've loved mcr for years, but i havent been IN love with them for a while. It happens, relationships and feeling wax and wane. But this tour, the excitement and love recently ignited in not just Gerard with all their gender fuckery, but the whole band, has brought a love and joy back into my life for music that hit me in the heart as a preteen and teenager.

And none of that would be possible without Ray Toro putting his all into the feelings and conveying of in his music. Mikey made the band, but ray MAKES the band. He is absolutely fucking integral and it is disgusting & disheartening to see him treated such a way. What the fuck even, hearing that streamers are zooming in on frank during Rays solos?? Like do the fuck better? I'm honestly disappointed as fuck in that shit. Like I know this whole thing is a little disjointed stream of consciousness type post but really. White people do better challenge! Its literally SO fucking easy. The real camera guys are RIGHT THERE showing what to fucking do!

You can love the others as much as you want but jesus fuck give Ray the same fucking courtesy. Stop ignoring your racism, start recognizing the issues that plague you from being white and growing up in white privilege. I sure as fuck still have plenty of shit to work on but at least i can say i can do the bare fucking MINIMUM of giving Ray Toro the respect and attention he absolutely fucking deserves.

Like I do hope this is understood I am not trying to speak over anyone but simply say from one white to another: you need to do better. If that's how you treat a member of supposedly one of your fav bands, i genuinely fear for the poc you encounter in your life. The harm you cause by staying blind may be incremental but it builds up until it's a mountain. Do fucking better.

awtto toronto is my ryden seattle: a rambling

yeah yeah ik ryden seattle has been debunked but this is similar enough to that and seems more plausible so. bear with me here. thanks to my good friend @filthyjanuary for actually watching all of this go down and having pics so i can be insane about it and write stuff like this lol.

also disclaimer before anyone tries calling me out. i don't actually know anyone in the band and this is all speculation for the sake of good ol fashioned real person fiction meaning don't take this too seriously and don't show this to the band or anyone connected to them. cool? cool.

night one: september 4, 2022

waterparks were on their final opening spots (if you don't count la night 4) of their leg of mcr's return tour in toronto at scotiabank arena.

this was already a strenuous tour despite the short length because not only would this mark parx's first time playing arenas, but it directly followed their run on the sad summer tour that year, putting some extra strain on them. in some of my mutuals' words, awsten was annoying and sounded like shit.

up to this point, waterparks had been doing free meet & greets after shows. however, this would be the only show (besides la) they would not do m&g because awsten posted this on his story at roughly 11:21 pm.

however, he was seen leaving the venue with otto roughly around 10:50 pm. a fan had caught them outside the venue by the buses and tweeted about the experience.

(note: the tweet embeds have timestamps in UTC; these tweets were posted on the 4th at 10-11pm EST and the UTC version is equivalent to that)

not anything too weird. they just left the set earlier than the rest of the band and crew since awsten was feeling out of it; lucas and geoff were seen leaving during the last song anyway.

the weird stuff starts with the fact that otto flooded the showers backstage (audio taken from this interview).

otto estimates that around 2:00 am, he was scrambling to find custodial staff to help him clean up his shower mess (literally a situation only he of all people would get in lol).

weird though, right? if otto was so concerned with cleaning up that mess, why would he leave with awsten long before he even tried? and even then, why would otto leave the set of his favorite band ever to go with awsten?

also let's shift to the day after: supposedly an anon of mine had met awsten in a starbucks the next day and said he was wearing the same clothes he had wore onstage on the 4th.

they also said he smelled good but he always does

this would align with a couple of things i already thought were likely. there are a couple of starbucks locations in the area, but if awsten and otto had walked out on their own instead of with the crew, they were likely within a short distance of the arena to do so. as you can see there is not only a hotel within walking distance of the arena, but there is also a starbucks within the vicinity of the hotel.

there's no proper way to put this and this is just rpf madness anyway but my theory is: they were sucking and fucking that night and awsten was tired enough after he slept in his stage clothes and sprayed a bunch of cologne on him for his coffee run the next day. end of story.

night two: september 5, 2022

this show would mark parx's last opening slot for mcr before la night 4. my friend said awsten sounded better that night. can you sound better a night after getting dicked down? who knows that's an answer for science.

also after their set, parx were caught watching the show on the floor and awsten was sitting down with otto's hand on his shoulder and it was very cute.

anyway, parx were able to do once final free m&g that night. one thing to note though was otto and awsten's change of clothes between their set and the m&g.

(terrible cropping and sorry to the fan i cropped out)

as you can (kinda) see, awsten is wearing a red tank top and otto is wearing a yellow shirt during the show. however, once their set was over, awsten and otto decided to wear matching mcr merch (and not tell geoff because he's still wearing the same shirt from onstage).

what would make these two do this who knows. they're no strangers to sharing or matching clothes anyway but it is sorta funny to me how they're matching like a couple and leaving their own bandmate to third wheel that lol.

was something in the air between awsten and otto in toronto? maybe, but it's not like we'll ever know. i can only imagine what they could've done.....

Any fics where one of them (preferably Bruce) gets de-aged?

“Guys! Shut up for a sec.” They instantly stop bickering. It’s never fair when Dick uses his Batman voice. In the distance they can hear the base of a song playing from the batcave batsubway station. 

Duke furrows his eyebrows. “How loud is that song being played that we can hear it from up here?”

“Isn’t the batcave soundproofed?”

“Who’s gonna tell him MCR broke up?”

“I’m pretty sure they broke up when he was like 17 or something.”

“Then who’s gonna tell him they got back together, wrote new music, and broke up again?”

“Please, dear god, nobody do that.”

Jason and Steph share conspiratorial smirks while Dick groans.

21/8/24 [1X DIY <collage> — technically a draft from yesterday as it was posted on a schedule, key + significant photos at end]

wow, i’ve been doing this for a while now. i woke up at just before eight and listened to frank iero’s ‘new’ single and oh my fucking god its so good. i love frank sm. i scrolled through my tumblr feed until 8:40 when i finally got dressed. today i’m going to adventure island [a theme park] with this person i know. i wish i could call her a friend, but she makes fun of me too much for me to count and i overall just don’t feel comfortable with her. however she’s alright to me occasionally, like today she seemed happy to be around me. i only see her as my mum is bestfriends with her mum, but my mum dosent believe the way she usually acts towards me.

today i got dressed into my silent hill shirt, black ripped skinny jeans, knee high converse, two spiked cuffs [one with longer spikes and without a third row], mcr bracelet, panic! at the disco bracelet, sleeping with sirens bracelet, diy can tab bracelet, and a diy beaded bracelet. along with my kellin quinn necklace, a taxidermy scorpion necklace, a taxidermy raccoon tail and a silver studded belt across the right side of my hip/thigh.] [because i was anticipating cold weather as the park is directly behind the beach, and it’s the warmest outfit i have. and yes, i copied this from mondays journal, shh]

i listened to my main playlist instead of a cd while putting everything on as i added three more full albums to it after listening to ‘this song is a curse…’ [illuminaudio - chiodos, discovering the waterfront - silverstein [[im surprised this wasn’t in it already]], and wires…and the concept of breathing - a skylight drive.] and then went outside to see boris at 9:30 after straightening my hair + putting on eyeliner. like always, i’d already stood in the doorway and said goodmorning upon waking up, but i wanted to sit by him/talk/and cuddle. i didn’t manage to be out with him for long as R [that person im going out with] and her mum/stepdad pulled up on the drive. so i greeted them and started packing my bag on the kitchen table.

while i was doing that, R handed me a monster original and started speaking about how she dosent know what one i like, but i’ve never had any other flavour as i dont generally go out and buy food/drink. it was really sweet of her and it proves that i guess she’s getting more friendly with me. just a few months ago she wouldn’t let me speak about much/would make fun of me constantly/etc. i’m glad that someone thinks of me and that anyone would do such a thing. i hope we do end up being friendly in a friend way, if that makes sense. like i personally consider a friend someone you can trust and open up to, and i hope we get to that point. i think what’s been preventing it is the distance between where we live.

anyway, in my bag i had: my camera [i bring it everywhere], two battery packs [one’s always in there & out of battery], a lead for the battery pack[s], a coke zero, my monster energy, my wallet with my disability access card, my skullcandy headphones, my phone, a tiny bag because i’ve been losing/having my earrings break a lot recently, my safe food, a few band pins that have fallen of my backpack, hand sanitiser, a safety pin [i don’t even know why], and a bat plushie. its not even a comfort plushie, he’s just permanently in my bag since i got him at another theme park, chessington, at the vampire ride. once i’d got everything ready to leave, i said goodbye to boris and me and R’s family set off.

while we were in the car, R suggested making a blend [again, she was acting more friendly which is super nice] but it didn’t work. then i had the idea of adding each others playlists to one another and putting it on shuffle, but that didn’t work either as her spotify was only playing songs off her playlist. either way, it was nice she thought of it. we ended up listening to our own playlists on the way to the theme park. i listened to: shoot the girl first, the used, signal the escape, fall out boy, falling in reverse, patrick stump, and my chemical romance. also on the way there, we saw an older woman with cat face paint on and hair ties that made her look like she had cat ears. i wonder what the occasion was, or if there was an occasion. just something i randomally remembered about the drive.

we arrived at 10 and got in not even five minutes later. we walked over to the stall where they sort out your tickets/passes and R’s mum activated my disability access card. it was super embarrassing because they had to take a picture of me, and it took ages, but everything eventually went through and worked. the first actual thing we did was find a table and put all of our stuff down. i met J and A. J is R’s family friend, and J’s mums bestfriend. i’m not too sure who A is to the both of them, but he went around with us. he’s 19, so i thought it’d be a little awkward, but when we started walking around to the other side of the park to this ride called green scream, i realised it wasn’t going to be.

its a kids ride, but for some reason its enjoyable. unfortunately the photo thingy wasn’t open so i didn’t get to see what we all looked like, but oh well. the next ride we went on was rage, one out of two of the bigger and ‘scarier’ roller coasters. i used to not mind rage, but over the years it’s become incredibly rough and your head hurts for at least half an hour upon getting off. its a shame because it completely prevents it from being an enjoyable ride, but it looks really smooth. we got on and set off up the vertical lift hill, which is honestly the best part, because your head can’t start hurting yet. then you go down this drop which is quite similar to thorpe park’s saw the ride, just less steep. the entire time the ride was running, my scorpion necklace was tied around my eyes. i was scared itd come off because i’ve already had one break without me knowing and they’re really cool/expensive to buy as you need to make sure their ethical taxidermy.

but, it did make the photo look silly. when i first saw it, i thought i somehow forgot to take my glasses of and didn’t notice. i did take a picture of the ride photo but got told off which was really embarrassing lmaoo, there was someone else taking a photo though and nobody said anything so i don’t know what was going on with that. [photo at end] i’m not too sure in what order i went on the rides beyond this point of the day, but i’ll carry on speaking about it anyways. afterwards, we went back to the table to have some snacks and talk a little to J + R’s mum. once we’d done, we went back round to where rage is and went on the blue [outside] water slide as it was boiling and it didn’t matter whether we got wet or not. there isn’t an access queue for this ‘ride’ so we queued up with everyone else and got round to having a turn at around 12:35.

A wanted to go on the green [inside] water slide so we split up once we got to the actual queues for each slide. it went long before me and R got on our raft. i went on the front and she placed herself at the back. we got absolutely soaking wet and the photo of us was so cool because our facial expressions were questionable and you could see the full length of my converse in it. i didn’t take a photo though, as the person behind the stand looked intimidating. afterwards we went back to the table and then went on the indoor ‘scary’ ride. which isn’t scary at all - mind you, it’s another kids ride - but the props and things are cool. it’s one of those rides where you go around in little carts and as you look around there’s holograms/animatronics/figures except it’s mostly monster/clown themed.

while waiting to be loaded onto the carts, my necklace started glowing [photo at end cuz why not] its kinda embarrassing to actually get on the ride. when you have an access pass, you get on first via the exit. but because of how the ride is designed, you have to get on - then they run it around a small bit of track while everyone looks at you. and then the others queuing get on. its so awkward knowing everyone’s staring at you slowly going by 😭. it was too dark to take any proper photos but i took a blurry photo of one of the larger figures because it glows and i think it’s cool. [photo at end] the last time i went to adventure island and on this ride with my mum + prevision, the ride faulted at a small hill and punctured a literal hole in my mums arm, and bruised both of mine, but today it went down it smoothly. thank god.

after getting off, we went on a sky drop. there was another one that had just been made which we planned to go on after. there was a problem with R and how small the seat was so she had to switch to one two seats away from me. the ride itself is pretty tame, but i have a weak stomach so it didn’t feel great lmaoo // from what i remember, afterwards we went round to the rage exit to get a time to come back and get on. it’s hard to explain but that’s how the ride access works. you go up to rides, ask for a time to come back, they add on how long they think people have been queuing in the general queue, and then you come back after X amount of time. so quite a lot of the time me, R and A were waiting at the table/going on smaller rides to pass time.

so, we went back to the table [J & A left] and came back to rage after around 40 minutes + the walk to the ride. i didn’t really fancy going on again, and A didn’t come altogether, but R wanted to do it did for her, although my head was still hurting from the last time we went on. this time, i was smart enough to put my necklace in my pocket. even going up the lift hill gave me more of a headache. and because my neck was still weak i couldn’t really keep my head back to the headrests, so my head was banging on the shoulder restraints. my vision also kept on going completely white. we both felt really shaken up afterwards so we went back to the table and everyone had something to eat. me and R decided to go on some tame rides to calm our sickness. it’s weird that i felt so bad afterwards, im completely used to going on big rollercoasters like the smiler, saw, etc, it’s just so rough.

we went on this mini ferris wheel and it was freezing. it took ages for everyone to be loaded on and while the people at the bottom are getting on, your stuck at the top above the sea, where you get all the wind. behind us was a guy wearing an exodus shirt which was cool, R didn’t think so though. she was making fun of him. carrying on, the ride eventually started and it was actually really calming. [photo at end] you could see the sea and the rest of the park nicely from up there. at this point i was getting more and more exhausted because i forgot i had a monster and i don’t ever wake up as early as what i did and then be full on all day. it finished at 3:10, and then we got the time for the ride beside it. R had been on before, but i hadn’t. i say that, but i definitely have - i just dont remember. the worker said ten minutes so we sat at the table [i rested my head in my hands and nearly fell asleep], and came back at 3:22. it was once again a kids ride, but i genuinely think it was faster than rage. and that has a loop. it accelerated so quickly i genuinely thought the controls had gone haywire.

but, this made it fun. it was the best ride i went on. while we were at the table beforehand, we decided on that being our last ride, so once it finished we packed everything up. we left the official premises at 4 and then got the adventure island fish and chips outside at 4:10. i didn’t have much because i couldn’t check the calories and i could already imagine how bad they were. i didn’t want to seem rude though, as R’s mum had paid half 70% of the price. while we ate, R’s stepdad walked to the car to drive back round to the seaside where we were sitting and pick us up. i noticed a lot of seagulls sitting on the rocks around the kid area of the sea so i took a picture of them with my camera. [photo at end]

i couldn’t zoom in as much as i wanted to because my lens was switched over from the normal setting. i just took it for the fun of it so it’s in no way how i usually take photos, the lighting on the rocks isn’t bad though. he got there at 4:30 and me and R listened to our playlists on the way back again. what came on shuffle on the way home was: patrick stump, panic! at the disco, silverstein, mccafferty, and get scared. we arrived back at my house at 5:40 and i cuddled boris for however long hopefully wouldn’t be considered disrespectful to guests. i also realised that he’d finally had his itch treatment yay!!

i asked my parents how he got along with it and according to my parents, he was vocal, but not agressive out of stress like he usually is. i’m so proud of him. then i went upstairs to my sisters room because that’s where R was. she was just on her phone so i sat on the floor and organised the photos taken today into picture collages. i stayed up there until they all left at 7:40. R was getting mad at me for sitting next to her anyways. once they’d started heading home, i went out to boris, showed my dad some band stuff, and then wrote a lot of this journal. i did this until 9:30 where i went outside properly with boris. i did go and see him every now and again while journaling but not for extended periods as my phone literally wont charge. i came back in at 2:10. while i was out there i noticed there are baby ones of those generously sized spiders that hang out on the driveway at night.

once i was back in the warm, i asked my parents if they had any receipts for my collage as i only had my coraline 3D receipts + a small cutout from the card that came with my insect stickers. it just shows each individual one so you know which ones you’ve got. my dad had an asda/primark/petrol receipts and my mum gave me the leftover paperwork/receipts from adventure island. i finished at 10:45 because it took me ages to work out how i wanted the collage to be set out and whatnot. either way i like the colour combo. [photo at end] after finishing, i went out to the kitchen to sit with boris and came back into my room at 11:20 because my phone ran out again.

i wrote even more of this journal and went upstairs to ask my parents questions about boris at 11:35. around this time, my head started hurting a concerning amount so i took some meds. im aware i sound so dramatic right now but you don’t understand how torturous that ride is until you’ve experienced it and the feeling afterwards. my eyes kept on going cross eyed and parts of my vision were cutting out. i do know i’m not the only one who feels like this after rage, though, because while we were waiting to go on for the first time a woman came off and she could barely walk afterwards. however don’t know whether my eating or sleep contributed/s to how bad my head is feeling. i finished my questions at 1, wrote a few paragraphs of this, and then said goodnight to boris.

i didn’t tell him about my day as my parents told me to tell him tomorrow so my head wouldn’t get worse so i gave him a little spoiler and cleaned the dog food can tabs in the sink. im going to somehow make a flower looking chain charm out of them. i did this while speaking to boris/apologising for going out, things like that. id shown him my collage earlier so i took some different shaped can tabs, the big dog can ones, my collage book, and a j20 bottlecap into my room to put into their assigned places for when i make stuff out of them. [photo at end]

then i went back out to boris and finished saying goodnight to him. because i cant stroke around where his ointment was applied [his neck] its quite a struggle to cuddle him the way i usually would, but i eventually finished at 2:24. i was supposed to be super quick as i wasn’t telling him about today, even though i always wish i could be longer. i then gave him his last meal of the day and he went in my room 3x times while i was awake. my head was still in excruciating pain despite the paracetamol so i went to sleep at 2:50 after finishing this journal. i kept on falling asleep and letting go of my phone/almost deleting paragraphs at a time. so i hope all of this still makes sense.

🗝️ — boris/my cat, prevision/keyworker i have to see instead of being taken back into mainstream education, questions about boris/i ask my parents questions about my cat to verify he's okay + will be okay in the morning. its a compulsive thing and i'm hopefully going to be tested for OCD in the future.

have a good day/night O_o

As a queer person, these are some pros and cons of living in a country where being queer is illegal:

Pros:

Insanely strong gaydar. I can sense the gay from a 10 mile distance. One eye contact, and I'll know, no one can escape me.

You get to practice your acting skills

You get to feel like you're part of some sort of cool secret society

Cons:

Well, technically, your existence makes you a criminal (Thank you for the Venom by MCR suddenly played in my head for some reasons)

Gerard talked about his life post-MCR (may 2013) a bit during this interview to promote The Aquabats show.

I think this was when he decided he wanted to focus on getting better at playing the guitar and focused a lot on music.

Hesitant Alien came out a year after but it does sounds like to me that it’s not what he set out to do, but what ended up happening. He mentioned in another interview that his producer/sound engineer friend Doug McKean (R.I.P) was the one who got him out of bed and working on music again and I think what he describes doing here is due to his actions.

I think what he says about a solo career ended up still being true for him, he seems to be happy with the album and the tour but it seemed clear to me that in recent years he really distanced himself from that, and now I believe he is waiting to be older, more secure about what he does.

YN falling in love with Wilbur when he was still just starting as a streamer and beforehand (soothouse). But then she moves and just forgets abt him bc she remembers him as a childhood crush.

And then she goes to a Lovejoy concert and sees him and is like, “Omg… its- its him.” And she feels compelled to try anything in her will to talk to him because she may or may not have renewed her old crush. 🤭

💕I Would Never Fall Unless It’s You 💕

Summary: You become friends & fall in love with Wilbur when he is just starting to be a streamer, but you move away & forget about him. One day, however, you go to a Lovejoy concert & you see him & you will do anything & everything in your power to see him again.

In the virtual space, I first laid eyes on him, A streamer with charm, wit, & a winning dimple. My heart skipped a beat, & I felt a thrill, As Wilbur's smile & laughter filled my digital pillow.

We bonded over games & silly jokes, Our online friendship soon became a golden cloak. But then, life took me far away, & Wilbur faded into the distance, like a fleeting ray.

Years went by, & my heart remained true, But I forgot about Wilbur, as time flew. Until one day, I heard his band play, & my crush came rushing back, like a summer ray.

The music was magic, the crowd was alive, & there, on stage, was Wilbur, shining bright. His passion and talent, a true work of art, Reminded me of the love I once had in my heart.

Now, as I watch him perform with glee, I realize that my love for Wilbur is still meant to be. At this moment, I know what I must do, I'll follow my heart, & make my move, anew.

Oh, the years have been long & the miles have been far, Since I last laid eyes on my dear Wilbur, my star. I've waited so patiently, with a heart full of cheer, To see him again, to talk to him, to wipe away my fear.

His music fills the air, like a sweet melodic breeze, And I know that now's the time to seize the day, to please. I'll push through the crowds, with a determined stride, To reach out to him, to know him, to be by his side.

Oh, the words I've rehearsed, the stories I've told, Of all the years I've waited, of all the dreams I've held. I'll tell him of my love, of my admiration, of my heart, & I'll hope that he'll hear me, that he'll never depart.

So here I'll go, with a beating heart and a smile, To meet the man who's captured my thoughts for so long, I'll do anything, everything, to make him see, That he's the one who's been missing, the one who's been the key.

HI i love bibilette : D tell me about them. anything. thoughts or headcanons or literally anything else. please i love them

dont mind if i do 😈!!!!

- bibi was initially very offput by colette's hyper personality, but started to like her company soon after

- colette always thought bibi was really cool but wanted to get closer after finding out they shared some interests

- bibi is colette's beta reader on ao3

- bibi has a secret anime edit account on tiktok, only colette and the retropolis gang know its hers

- bibi loves calmer music and songs that have some sapphic undertones (clairo, faye webster, heavenly)

- colette listens to any type of music, but her favorite band is mcr (theyre always playing in the giftshop since her and edgar control the playlist)

- colette had a gacha phase and is shameless about it

- bibi also had a gacha phase, but you could not waterboard this info out of her

- bibilette song #1 is p.u.n.k girl by heavenly

- bibilette song #2 is she won't go away by faye webster

- it took a while for bibi to confess because she was insecure about being weird, she thought colette liked her because of her cool persona

- because of this she distanced herself from colette for a bit because she felt guilty for "lying" to her

In all seriousness about Danger Days, you can tell the band loves that album, they’re happy with how it turned out and proud of it like they are all their works, but they also likewise really felt the brunt of many people who just did not like it, especially those who were more married to their ‘normal’ sound (which is no shade to those who didn’t enjoy DD or still don’t; it is what it is, we like what we like!). Like Gerard said before they played Kids from Yesterday: he wasn’t sure WHO liked the album on it’s initial release, especially when it performed relatively weak compared to their previous ‘magnum opus’. I think it took a lot of people time and distance after My Chemical Romance was ‘gone’ from the music scene to look past their initial kneejerk reactions of DD and start to find the creativity and energy and freedom of escape it offered. It’s a breath of fresh air and it has such a distinct feeling, and there was a lightness and cheeky fun there that albums like The Black Parade just could not offer in bulk the same way.

This fourth night is for all the fans who immediately lit up listening to it and learning the world and story they made for it, who found artistic inspiration from the universe in these songs! And this night is for those fans who came back to the album years later for a second chance and found themselves slowly acquiring tracks on their MCR playlists, finding the vinyl online to buy long after they disbanded. And this night is for those in the crowd who liked DD the least, who realize maybe they really like that one where they moan a lot into the microphones, and maybe they’ll give it a few more listens when they get home.

I’m just really happy that not only are so many fans singing along to this album show after show to let them know it DID mean a lot to plenty of people in the audience, but there’s a night JUST for this album. And the band can see just how much it’s grown on their fans, and we can finally answer the question of ‘how many of you even liked that album?’ with ‘TOO MANY TO COUNT’!

"yeah, i have no idea, your guess is as good as mine. it was very very fun and i love touring, i love playing all types of music. i love playing those songs, i love playing dunes songs. i’ll be on the road. i’ll tell you that much. but as far as my chem i have no idea. it would be fun but we’ll see."

i see so many accounts pointing out the obvious answering but not answering the question, but i can't say it makes me optimistic for mcr5. i think the 'i don't know' really is the seed of truth here even if he can't say his thoughts and feelings about it. no matter the outcome, it isn't just his to announce. (although he better be part of that announcement).

i absolutely don't see the point of any secrecy for the band's future. i think they use ambiguity to hide uncertainty with group decisions and conflict. then when it works out claim publicly that it was all part of the plan. and when not fans are just reading too far into it. the broken clock hint was a much more obvious indicator that could have easily been written off if things didn't work out. i don't see anything of that caliber here.

and even then i think it would be strange to make every single thing the band does a surprise announcement even if that is the way they have operated for the past few years. look how much lsdunes contrasts mcr with being open about recording, new songs, tours, etc. i think frank is at a stage where thats how he would prefer to proceed - with stability and certainty. it can't be taken back once it is publicly announced.

also notice that frank is distancing himself from the outcome of the band continuing.

even thought he is still stating that he would continue on with mcr. it is just out of his hands. and good, he isn't singlehandedly responsible for keeping the band together. his emotional labour for getting the band back together really wasn't acknowledged either.

and seeing the comforting thoughts - that no matter what happens with my chem he will still have a music career and will still be touring. my chem ending won't take that away from him. it's a good sign if they really do call it quits that he will be more resilient to handle it than the first time around. because he didn't know that the first time around.

but he is bracing himself for the possibly of mcr ending.

wish people like that would go on to any website for a bar in their local area and find one band that sounds interesting and pay $10 - $15 to see an actually small local band before speaking. do whatever you want. pay $150 to ask the dunes guys three questions like no one cares but frank iero could probably personally fund this whole tour off of his mcr money love and light

loll yeah like i get it to an extent because it's true that ls dunes also isn't mcr and some of its members more than others are depending on its success for income and aren't as wealthy as frank but they're also not starving artists skdjfjd. like it's very very rare for a band to actually be an artist's sole source of income - mcr are the exception in this case. i totally agree that we should all be supporting the bands we enjoy by going to shows where we can, buying merch, paying for music (especially as streaming services like spotify get more and more stingy), but that's just. a normal level for a successful but not famous band to be at. ls dunes are modelling themselves after the diy spirit, sure, bc all of its members started out in that scene (albeit in northern new jersey/new york where that scene was hugely more accessible and successful than it is in most other places), but they're also making the covers of magazines, selling out merch, playing mid-sized venues. they wouldn't have been able to tour the west coast let alone the uk on their own dime if it weren't for frank's mcr cash. to me it's partly an issue of ppl seeing music as something that should be free bc artists make it purely for the love of the craft - which is just not possible for any band playing more than the local pub/small venues within driving distance for like $15, like you said 😭. idk it's like ppl don't know what to do with a band that isn't famous enough to be a household name skdmfkfdkc. 'support artists' and 'support your local scene' are related but not equivalent statements lmaoo
