he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.
except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?
at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.
except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.
about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.
he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.

Gerard Way at 9/11, the event that started it all
TODAY IS THE DAY MCR WAS CREATED 🥳🥳
HAPPY 23RD ANNIVERSARY (with a 6 year break) TO MY FAVOURITE BAND
(Edit: some people have made me aware that this post can appear insensitive or inappropriate towards 9/11. That isn't my intent, 9/11 was a tragedy, and the aftermath was horrendous. This post is only here to celebrate the start of mcr, absolutely not 9/11.)

this started out as me wanting to expand on that headcanon post from yesterday about Bruce and Brandy getting caught hopelessly off guard with their first egg and then it quickly evolved into me getting all emotional about Bruce realizing he's finally at a point where he's happy and healthy enough to even carry an egg in the first place and I aaahhh....

Oh god, imagine after the war, Ron starts getting little packages from the men. And they're all cheap and silly things. A candy bar. A pencil. A little packet of tissues. A touristy shotglass. Stuff like that.
And all the notes are the same, "Pulled a Captain Spiers and lifted this just for you."
And it's so stupid and goofy. But also, it's so sweet. The boys don't really know how to check in on Speirs, and probably Luz goes, "We should just shoplift and send shit to him."
And so Ron gets a semi-regular delivery of shoplifted items. From his boys. Who need him to know they love him.

this will probably be long but I don’t care
It never ceases to amaze me how decent the people in Queen all are. Like yeah they are a major rock band and there was no shortage of Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll™️ going on. We know this. I’m not trying to portray them as perfect people.
But like, if you look at literally anything anyone who’s spent time with them has said or just their actions in general it’s almost hard to believe how like…generous and kind they all are. I mean especially comparing to stuff you hear about the other people/groups at the time.
Freddie bought Christmas dinners for all AIDS patients in hospitals every year. He was a great tipper. He invited anyone who had nowhere else to go to Garden Lodge for holiday dinners. He bought his friends Christmas presents for a Christmas he knew he wouldn’t see. He bought Jim a car. He took in a stranded musician in Japan and sent his driver up to McDonalds when he discovered the person (I’m sorry I don’t remember who it was) didn’t like sushi and then paid the owner to let the guy just sit there. He was the peacemaker of Queen. Everyone around him has always said how funny, kind, generous, and respectful he was.
Roger got a taste of a solo career and immediately went “I’m going to raise awareness for a whole bunch of issues because I am in the position to do so.” He wrote songs about war, racism, socioeconomic inequality, AIDS, neo-Nazism/holocaust denial, domestic violence. He called out religious extremism, politicians, and the extremely wealthy sometimes by name. He’s a patron of Cornwall Pride. He had a signed congratulations note delivered to a couple who got engaged during Somebody To Love. And of course, he co-founded the Mercury Phoenix Trust and then nearly single-handedly organized what remains the largest tribute concert ever the proceeds of which went to the MPT
Brian is Brian. I mean anyone who follows him on Instagram will know he just has a philosophy of treating people with kindness. He’s a queer ally, he calls out crazy right-wing people on a variety of issues, he calls for a ceasefire in Gaza and he champions animal rights. And he practices what he preaches as you will know if you kept up with their last Japan tour and his quest to find vegan food. Not to mention as well as also being a co-founder of the MPT, he and Roger went on national television ONE WEEK after Freddie died to dispel homophobia, AIDS fearmongering, and to raise awareness (not to mention trying to clear up everything the press had been saying about Freddie).
As John is the quiet, private person not much is known about him regarding this but he obviously had deep love and respect for Freddie and I mean there is something to say about the company you keep.
I don’t really have a point I just marvel at it

Hey Jonny, would you happen to have sheet music for Gunpowder Tim vs The Moon Kaiser?
My friend, I'm afraid you may have misunderstood what sort of band we were. Writing sheet music would very much have required a level of diligence and professionalism that we simply did not possess, and the music changed so often and so significantly that if we had written any it would have been obsolete within months. As far as I'm aware there is no sheet music for any of it.
That said, there almost certainly is sheet music for some of the WW1 songs we based bits on (Goodbyeee, Gassed Last Night, Over the Hills etc) and Teatime with the Kaiser was a riff on "Kicking Horses on Brokenhill" by Godspeed You! Black Emperor, so that might be something to look into
