#theres no reason for this other than gerard.

[wav48k]

i think that gerard tweet wasn’t the sole reason but more so the fact he’s been playing up ambiguity sexuality wise on social media even before by constantly diverting attention from questions abt it and purposely dancing around it but i agree

i was posting about that one specific tweet and its use as seeming "hard" "evidence" that people use and accept as "proof," rather than the general phenomenon of people finding whatever they can to support gerard being not straight in some way, but yeah absolutely theres other stuff from his time on social media that can be presented in the same way! esp when you line it all up in a neat little compilation and then wink meaningfully at the reader. this is literally how the petekey doc et al. get people lol, though obviously you have to have rpf goggles on in the first place to see #proof of gay bandom shipping and go "yeah this seems like the whole truth with no editorializing or misrepresentation." but thats off topic.

hes always had fun fucking with people who want to believe something about him, and if those people were weird invasive fans instead of homophobic warped tour rejects in the later years then more power to him! but expecting that to mean something about him personally is like expecting the stage gay to mean something about him personally 🕯️ just because hes not literally physically on a stage doesnt mean hes not acting a certain way on purpose for reactions/fun/art lol

eleven and seventeen?

11. favorite mcr album art?

revenge no question. i cant quite explain why but something about it has always spoken to me, i saw it at age 12 and was forever changed i think. this doesn’t have anything to do with the fact that it’s my favorite album, in fact i think part of why it’s my favorite album is because of the art. first of all, it reminds me a lot of vampires. i’ve always been drawn to vampires, an obsession that i think grew with my discovery of this album, even if it’s not actually about vampires, because aesthetically there are definitely a lot of nods to the vampire aesthetic which i really love. i feel like a lot of my aesthetic choices have been based off of that album cover, it just feels very me. i love thé black and red color scheme, again probably because of how i associate it with vampires and there’s something so gender about it. i definitely prefer some of gerard’s art to others but i think the style looks really cool here. someone pointed out how the girl looks kinda like gerard and i haven’t gotten that out of my head since. there’s also something in their expressions that’s so tragic even if theres not a lot of detail to them. i like the blood on its own, but i also like how it’s this watercolor style, i think that’s really cool. and then the way blood is spattered all over the rest of it. i’m not really putting it into words right because it’s more of a feeling of connection ive always had with the album and it’s art rather than specific qualities i can pinpoint, but i think love and art aren’t really things that need to be quantified and dissected like that.

17. favorite mcr lyric of all time?

ooh this is so hard. honestly i’m kind of bad with lyrics bc i process music as just Sounds rather than words, but mcr are such great lyricists that there are definitely some that stick out for me. at the moment i’m thinking about “and did you come to stare or wash away the blood?” from desert song, since i’ve been listening to it on repeat for unknown reasons, tho im not sure that’s my all time favorite. i have a ton written down in a notes app note for lyrics i like just bc i enjoy the way they sound, though i don’t really have any personal reason for them being my favorites. one that i’ve always thought about though is “i’m not dead i only dress that way” from boy division, because my chemical romance has always inspired the way i dress including looking weird and kind of dead and just overall very strange looking, it’s very gender to me. i started listening to mcr when i used amazon music in middle school and conventional weapons wasn’t on there but as soon as i’d heard of that lyric i went to youtube to listen to it and it’s been a favorite ever since, and it was amazing to hear live.

thinking about hearing it live also made me think of hearing burn bright live and being able to scream out “cause it makes me who i am / and you made me who i am / be afraid of what i am,” because even if i didnt listen to conventional weapons a lot when i first became a fan, those lyrics really exemplify my feelings about the band and how they’ve shaped the person i am today, they’re the only band from my middle school emo phase that ever really stuck with me and i’ve listened to them for a third of my life. for me, these lyrics are a combination of reverence/homage for how the band helped me get through middle school when i struggled a lot with mental health for the first time and began to truly think about my identity for the first time, as well as how they’ve been with me well on after that time and have been there through every major change in my life and can always make me really happy just thinking about them. it’s more than a middle-school nostalgia for me bc my love for the band is just a part of me now. i also like how these lyrics tie in with the “not ashamed of what i am” and the general queer undertones of the song, because i associate my chemical romance a lot with my own queerness, having discovered them when i began to realize i was gay and taking a lot of inspiration from them for my gender presentation. and also i’m someone who feels a lot of shame and general self-doubt even outside of my queerness that i like these lyrics’ message of just like, being who you are, as corny as that sounds. i think that’s kinda the core message of mcr as well :)

[boojersey]

☕ fave mcr eras and albums?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OKAY OKAY I LIKE THIS ONE AND HOPE NO ONE HATES ME FOR MY ORDER BUT

1. revenge (obviously i mean look at me i am drenched in black and red at all times and gerards hair was just so nice) specific parts include flour face gerard and that photoshoot with the blood covering his hand in a building with brick walls and arches it looked like a church basement and the vampire one for kerrang where its a girls back and theyre covered in blood and hes biting her neck hehe, reasoning for it being my favorite is it has only one song i skip (ghost of you) and every other has a lot more that i usually do and just how theatric and dramatic but also edgy everything was, tbp is more theatric BUT theres more Hope vibes and this is that but with despair and blood and guns and coffins and that just appeals to me fundamentally way more especially when im in my bag. it probably has my most favorite songs too, like to the end cemetery drive jetset life and HANG EM HIGH OR MOTHERFUCKING DIE. maybe my favorite mcr song but im not thinking too hard when i say that

pic of my closet below lmao two of my favorite drawings ive done (theyre for sale wink wink! dm me if interested anyone, gerard is blacklight reactive)

2. bullets, its just so suburban i feel like I'm back in Jersey its October and im walking past cul de sacs and the sunset is bright fucking orange its fantastic its art in every sense and its full of sorrow bc its the closest album chronologically to 9/11 and gerard had the least sureness in the future but he was so confident and it just bleeds into everything so hard, my favorite moments in life are majorly moments similar to what i described. wearing a hoodie and jeans and converse and observing the way the streetlights color the concrete and asphalt, especially if theres been rain. chinese food from family restaurants and rolling rock beer and sitting at neighborhood playgrounds on the swingset rocking back and forth with the carbonation buzzing in your brain. favorite moments include the pic of frank and gerard smoking on pool chairs and that pic of them in some grandmas house with wooden walls and a china and tchotchke cabinet and lace curtains and im pretty sure mikeys sitting on the leg of a couch.it was my desktop bg for a year or two.

3. black parade; i really appreciate the death topic and i will admit i struggle to get on the Hope wavelength throughout esp in famous last words ykno the keep on living part but there are some of my favorite fucking demos like emily and all the angels and im Pretty surE desert song but smack my ass and call me a moron if its wrong. i will say visually other than the marching band outfits its the least interesting era, the white hair was just kinda there to me and no one else had anything outstandingly russling my jimmies. frank did have some cute hair curls on his bangs tho sometimes. i do rlly like the whole haunted vibe tho bc of the paramounts effect on them tho, when i notice it in songs and lyrics it is pretty effective in makin my spine straighten with the hollow eyed, sleepless and frankly a little scared nervous energy. house of wolves has been in my rotation the past month or so bc it reminds me of trevor gta a lot. wttbp i skip every time just about. i save that song for when people are trying to be emo allies and queue it on the aux or when it comes on the radio or in public. blood is AMAZING and reminds me a lot of the song air from the hair soundtrack, and i wonder if gerard was trying to specifically mimic that songs vibe because if u ask me thats very gerard. i think overall the concept and the lore of the album's fruition appeal to me more than anything else, i also love mother war and some of the other various character designs.

4. current era; im saying this because foundations of decay is literally that promising of a single and the shows' outfits are so wonderful and the energy and love and happiness is just so fucking palpable that i already know this is where the new album is gonna sit for me. its gonna be so fucking good. we all know this so well. favorites include nurse gerard the mikey fuckin way shirts and that slicked back hair gerard mmf yum

5. danger days; im SORRRY i just. the songs only appeal to me on a surface level aside from destroya and i always just get rlly bad feelings when i see pics of gerard bc i know he said he was starving himself and it makes me :/ more than anything else seeing him. i feel Bad saying he looked hot. this is also the only album with songs i actively dislike within. i will say that when i say i like destroya. i fucking Love destroya. its so good its so fucking good its everything to me. OH and im gonna include the killjoys comic in this and say that even though i love it so fucking much its not enough to put it above current era. its not that i dislike danger days. its that every other era is so strong compared in my mind that since something has to be last it will be this. favorite moments include the videos of them behind the scenes for na na na laughing and having fun the photoshoot with the backdrop where they're all underneath it and gerard looks like a fucking otherworldly being level insane like hes made of porcelain and the mv shots of them in the trans am at night especially going in the tunnel speeding ass out of town. i will add that i discovered mcr thru sing bc it was on a rhythm game i owned at 11 and i still remember the two days before mcr broke up when i finally remembered to give them a listen and openly cried watching them all die in the killjoy vids so theres a nostalgic rawness that part of me wants to leave preserved like an artifact at a museum.

anyway novel over those are my full thoughts on the mcr eras

things i didnt mention that i shouldve include the bat buckle the infamous stage kiss the spitting and gerard palming his cock through his jeans on stage lmao

oh also dewees is great and needs more recognition

[fearofalling]

to satisfy my own curiosity was anyone elses adolescent self so influenced by gerard that now your pinky sticks out involuntarily

[raytorosaurus]

Has literally anyone in the band ever said they dont like danger days?? I've seen some gatekeepers getting on their high horse about how they only played one dd song last night and how the "posers must be fuming" and one specific person tried to argue that the members don't like it. But I physically can't find any evidence of it beyond the tour being a generally shitty time for them?? If anything theres more evidence that they DO like it? Sorry if this is weird or pointless but I can't tell if this person has actual proof or are just pulling shit out of their ass because they don't like danger days lol

UGH. im on mobile rn so im not gonna link to specific interviews but they all love the album and talked a lot about how proud they were of it when it came out, and how writing it was actually a very fun and harmonious process. it was controversial in the fan base at the time of its release (partly because of the major aesthetic change the band underwent, partly bc it was pretty heavily advertised in a way some fans felt was disingenuous i guess) and it undersold the black parade, and then their world tour following it also didn't sell as well as expected. they even ran out of money to make the third mv they'd planned in the na na na/sing universe, so compared to the black parade it was technically a commercial failure. in hindsight, gerard especially has said that tour was a very bad time mentally. it was certainly hard for both him and frank to be away from their children. but they were never anything but proud of the album itself and made that clear in interviews. the only vague negativity from the band i can think of was when frank did a lengthy interview for...i believe ap? in late 2020, where he spoke about his whole career, and touched on the breakup of the band. he mentioned being disappointed that they didn't end up releasing the conventional weapons songs and said he thought in hindsight they should have worked on danger days for a little longer because some of the songs as they are feel slightly incomplete to him, and that was one of his only regrets relating to my chem. The ONLY other thing is an offhanded comment their producer, rob cavallo, made when speculating potential reasons for the breakup, when he said that maybe in hindsight he thought frank was struggling to find parts to play on danger days. but frank himself never confirmed that (he actually made a point of saying there was no tension between him and ray during dd), and in my opinion his guitar parts are much more interesting and less sparse on most danger days songs than they are on most conventional weapons songs, so i'd take it with a grain of salt. i think the gritty simplicity of cw is just kind of more to frank's taste than the more instrumentally conceptual sound of dd, so offhanded comments he's made about that have stuck in people's minds as negativity towards the album maybe.

i for one am very grateful we got to hear conventional weapons in the end because some of those songs are up there among my very favourite mcr songs, but im inclined to agree with what the band said over and over again at the time that scrapping cw as an album to release danger days instead was definitely the right choice. it sounds cliche to say but it was definitely a bit ahead of its time. if my chem had come back from the hiatus with an album that was just a collection of really good songs, and not an actual event with a concept and aesthetic and clear thematic thread, i think it would have been a disservice to the band's core mission statement, which was always to be subversive and unexpected, and to lean into the weird and take the risk even if it meant being misunderstood. conventional weapons is great, and it even kind of addresses some themes similar to danger days (dissolusionment with the state of the music industry, life in that side of LA etc) but it does it without any of the grandiose metaphor and pageantry and uniting aesthetic that's gerard's biggest strength and a huge appeal of the band, yk? anyway. it's fine to not love danger days of course, everyone has their opinions, but it annoys me to see people putting words in the band's mouth. "that was a bad time in our lives" =/= "we don't like that album we created together." also they've played sooo much dd at other shows...you don't see anyone going around saying they hate bullets when they've played entire shows this tour with zero bullets songs on them 🙄🙄

[awsugar]

do u know anything about gerard's dating history bc im so very deeply confused. it doesnt rlly matter but like. what the fuck is all this

i do know actually.

so gerard was with kat from at least 96 until 2006. its possible he was with her earlier than that, and up until a couple months ago i didnt know when they got together, but those young blonde college gerard pics that she took surfaced, and then that pic of him in the western photo op thing ALSO surfaced, and that was dated as 96. so with the hair timeline and knowing that he was with her then. so at least 10 years but its possible it was longer.

we know that he broke up with her during the tbp recording process which would have been sometime from early to mid 2006. we know this because there's a small magazine clip where he says it, and says that its "nice to not have to call someone" which is. a deranged thing to say about your girlfriend of 10 years. like HARSH. brutal as fuck. id be so devastated if that was said about me. i wish i had the picture to show you of this but for some reason i saw it once and i can never find it again even though i know ive answered asks with it before. tumblr search is horrible. but just take my word for it i guess.

so he was with kat until 2006. and then he sort of very quickly got into a relationship with eliza. theres a lot of rumors surrounding the shit with eliza, some of which is probably true and some of which is probably just rumor. but i have some timeline facts! they got together in probably late summer early fall of 2006. and were engaged by may 2007. he confirmed the engagement in june 2007. projekt rev started on july 25 2007. its unclear whether they were still engaged when it started but if they had broken it off already, it would have been within the same month most likely. if you want more info on all the eliza shit, i have an ask on my other blog here. its worth a read that shit is insane. but also it has links to the sources for gerard talking about the engagement.

so anyway, gerard had met lynz in like 2003 or something? mcr played a show with msi. he says they had a connection and hit it off or whatever but they never saw each other again after that, until projekt rev. im doing some searching but i cant find how early on in the tour those pics of them kissing by the busses surfaced. but im guessing like august? and then they were married in september.

so lets recap. in about the span of a year gerard got out of a 10+ year relationship, got into a new relationship and got engaged after like 10 months, broke off that engagement after a month or two, and then was married to someone else two months later. wack.

[miserybegins]

Wait what's the tea on millions?

check the tags before reading this lol 

alright...millions is the one song im sure gerard wrote about frank. i think franks written loots of songs about gerard but this one...this is the only one i believe gerard wrote about him and damn..h.e really said it all

where to start...i have opinions on a lot of lyrics from this song but not All Of Them because well i didnt write it so i dont actually know what everything means but these are my thoughts anyway

also let me first say i don’t believe either of them ever cheated, i believe that jamia was aware of frank and gerards relationship, whatever the nature of that was and however invested gerard was. i believe she let frank have what he needed on the road and knew he would always come back to her. anyway

You twist my armI'm twisting fateYou'll leave alone, or crazy greatOr break into a million pieces, all your reasons

ok...this makes me think hes saying like frank was always trying to persuade him to be more than what they were. basically i guess to explain this song i have to lay out my whole opinions on the nature of their relationship. i think frank without a doubt was in love with gerard, i think gerard was fond of him and maybe led him on sometimes but was never nearly as invested as frank. this opinion comes from a lot of analysis of frank songs, what i’ve observed, and what i know about frank, the way his emotions work, etc. i won’t get into all of it now but i guess thats a baseline for this that you need to know.

so frank trying to persuade gerard of what they could be, or to dedicate more time to him, and gerard trying to ‘twist fate’ i guess...the words arent coming to me. gerard was trying to plan out his future in the way that he envisioned it and i think gerard has done a lot of this, he has said he plans things so far in advance and i believe that he sets an intention for what his life is going to be like and he makes it happen. so frank wants gerard but gerard wants something else. and thats going to hurt frank.

And while we're laying on the floorMy mouth is soreI'm keeping scoreA million reasons but i need a million more

keeping score, makes me think their relationship was like transactional to gerard. im not really sure. but a million reasons but i need a million more to me is like. gerard saying Yes. there are a million reasons why we are right for each other and why this could be amazing if i let it happen, but even a million reasons aren’t enough for me.

You believe in loveI believe in faith

frank believes in love and believes you should do whatever you can for love if you find it. gerard believes in being faithful to one person. i know gerard has said explicitly that he is straight more than once but i’m pretty sure none of us...believe that. anyway i do think that he always wanted to end up with a woman so when he found lynz he was like perfect im going to be faithful to her. i dont doubt his relationship with her but you have to realize that he started projekt rev engaged to eliza and ended the tour married to lynz. it was super fast and rash decision honestly. he latched onto the dream he had and was faithful to it.

A trillion legions of the damned and williamIt was really meIt was really youThere was really nothing i could do

ok this. ‘william it was really nothing’ is a smiths song.

im going to copy and paste the interpretation of the song, these are the most common that you find when you google it:

“This song chronicles a love triangle between a marrying couple and a gay friend. The friend asks "William" why he is marrying a girl who "doesn't care about anything." It would seem that the friend had an affair with William in the past, but William is now in denial of his homosexuality and is marrying a woman instead - much to the friend's dismay.”

and from morrissey himself: “I thought it was about time there was a male voice speaking directly to another male saying that marriage was a waste of time...that, in fact, it was 'absolutely nothing.”

this is...god. gerard is a huge smiths fan. so is frank. that fact aside, there is no way gerard referencing that song is a coincidence, especially with it’s meaning. it would be a discredit to everything gerard’s ever done to think that he didnt have intention by referencing it. this drives me absolutely bonkers crazy. i don’t think i need to even explain the relation of this lyric to frank and gerard, its pretty obvious.

(after projekt rev when gerard got married they did the show in hoboken and in im not okay frank says ‘lie to me’ much to think about)

You don't understand, we don't hold hands

like....hello. that line is obvious. gerard saying yea maybe we kiss and are affectionate maybe we mess around sometimes but you dont get it. thats all it is. we’re nothing more than that, bringing it back around to the fact that frank was in love and gerard was only semi invested.

Come catch me, runCuz i'm not having any fun

theres an interview with gerard after the break up that i can try to locate if someone really wants but its a really long interview so id have to listen to the whole thing to find the part im referencing but gerard says that frank came up to him before the msg show right before the hiatus they took starting in may 2008 where frank asked him if he was having any fun anymore and gerard said no, which then led to the hiatus.

I think you're soreI think i'm doneA million reasonsCan i be your number one?Yeah. yeahCan i be your number one?But I need a million more.

i think you’re sore: i think you’re finally getting fed up with the way i don’t make you a priority. i think i’m done: obvious. can i be your number one? i like being your number one. i want to still be your number one even though you’re not mind. and then the repetition of needing a million more reasons for them to work out, he could have had all the reasons in the world and it still wouldnt have been enough for him to abandon the ideal of the life he had in his head, with a woman.

anyway im out of my mind if you read it this far youre a trooper please dont reblog this

[mychemicalficrecs]

do you have any longer frikey fics, preferably bottom frank if theres smut

I do have some longer Frank/Mikey stuff, but no guarantee on bottom Frank!

Longer Frank/Mikey

Emotional Brilliance by kopperblaze, 21k, Mature. Toro and Mikey are a good team, Mikey doesn’t get why Brian had to hire someone else. In particular he doesn’t get why Brian had to hire Frank, who knows nothing about Lush products and who's incapable of keeping his mouth shut. Lush!AU. The one where Ray is a skin care expert, Frank is obnoxious, Mikey is annoyed and Pete leaves glittery handprints all over everything.

Gross roomies by turps, 36k, Explicit. Frank loves living with Mikey. Sure, the apartment is a mess, the kitchen's a toxic wasteland, and there's something growing in the refrigerator that's just a day or two away from becoming sentient, but other than those minor inconveniences, it's all cool. Or it is until Mikey decides to embark on a journey of sexual discovery and adventure and Frank's left at home with nothing but the fridge monster for company. To make matters worse, Mikey insists on telling Frank everything he does with his new kinky friends, right down to the tiniest detail. And now suddenly Frank is best friends with his right hand and he can't stop thinking about Mikey in ways he never has before. The really big problem, other than suddenly being in lust with his best friend, is that Frank isn't sure why.

Won't Know 'til You Begin by knight_tracer, Sena, 24k, Explicit. In which Frank is an accidental pervert, Mikey sleeps with Fabio, Gerard is much too sincere when talking about pain sluts, Ray is terrible with women and great with guitars, and Otter's got really bad taste in music. Alternately, the one where Frank realizes he has a thing for Mikey, Mikey realizes he has a thing for guys, and they're both adorably stupid failboats.

On Air by ladyfoxxx, 15k, Teen And Up Audiences. Frank's a radio DJ at an alternative station, spinning punk tracks and talking shit. When he gets handed the most popular show at the station to host, his first guests are independent horror filmmakers Gerard and Mikey Way.

What Dreams May Come by sperrywink, 15k, Explicit. His career in music derailed, Frank never met the other guys in My Chemical Romance. A silly tale of teleportation.

a scent and a sound by mwestbelle, 15k, Explicit. In an urban fantasy world where werewolves can't hold a decent job and no roommate wants them, werewolf Frank is looking for an apartment. He finds one with Mikey Way.

Heart Wrapped in Clover by Sena, 19k, Explicit. Everbody's got their not-so-secret secrets on tour. When you live out of a van, you just can't help but notice things that you shouldn't talk about if you don't want to embarrass your friends or start a fight. Frank wishes sometimes they talked about things, though, because he's dying to ask if anybody else has noticed that sometimes, Mikey wears panties.

Tints Verse by turps, 65k, Mature. A MCR AU where Ray has his own gardening firm, and one day he does a job for the Ways.

We Used To Be Friends by ladyfoxxx, 50k, Explicit. "You and me, right Mikes?" "Yeah, fuck everybody else." Best friends since high school, if Frank could've chosen a brother, he'd pick Mikey. Then Mikey became a rock star and Frank... didn't. After years of radio silence, Mikey steps onto a stage in Jersey and back into Frank's life.

And the Painted Ponies by turps, 35k, Mature. After years of struggling to be taken seriously as a bodyguard, Frank Iero is finally well established. He loves his boss, Ray, he loves his job, and he prides himself on his professionalism. But then he's assigned to be the personal bodyguard of Mikey Way. Mikey Way, aka Roboboy, is a successful high fashion model. Loved by designers and the public alike for his trademark lack of emotion, but mocked by the tabloid press for the exact same reason. Mikey is someone that Frank's sure he'll hate. Except it doesn't work out that way. In fact, it doesn't take long before Frank discovers he really likes Mikey. Maybe too much.

Better Than A Paid Life by gala_apples, 15k, Explicit. Gerard and Mikey Way are the Killjoys, a motorbaby duo. That is, until their car gets wrecked in a battle and the dashboard accessory of their new Trans Am is an ex-Companion with a mission.

Crash by Gorgeous Nerd (gorgeousnerd), 26k, Explicit. In a future version of Seattle, Frank Iero's a lot of things: bike messenger, cage fighter, sometimes thief, Ray Toro's roommate. Mikey Way's also a lot of things: record label owner, co-heir to his grandmother's fortune, younger brother. Neither are normal. But they don't know just how far each other's abnormalities go until Frank's past and a secret of Mikey's unexpectedly shove together. (Dark Angel AU.)

Sound Tracking by turps, 46k, Mature. The beat is muted, almost non-existent, and the loss hits Bob hard. He's used to living his life in a constant thrum of sound, sensing those around him, the rhythm of the universe a constant companion, but here there's almost nothing. He can feel the sound that's been pulling him for weeks now, but little else. This place is dead, almost silent, and Bob aches with the feeling of being cast into nothingness. A MCR - Bob and Gerard centric space AU where Gerard's band has been taken from him and Bob helps find them. Also features FOB, especially Pete.

Mikey Way and the Quest for the Stone by Roxy_palace, 29k, Explicit. “I’m in Colombia!” Mikey said, raising his voice over the crackle of a poor connection. “No. no, no, no, no,” James wailed. Mikey could really relate to his disbelief. He couldn't believe he was in mother fucking Colombia either.

Below the Trees, Which Are Below the Stars by alpheratz, 38k, Explicit. In the mid-1920s, Gerard and Mikey moved to France - Gerard to pursue art, Mikey because he couldn't stay behind. Now, it's 1930, and Mikey's become an airmail pilot, flying the mail route to Dakar with his navigator Frank. For a long time, the only rough thing about Mikey's life was the strain on his and Gerard's soulbond when Mikey was away, but his growing feelings for Frank and the arrival of Frank's old friend Ray could change everything.

Food of Love by Lucifuge5, 12k, Teen And Up Audiences. Ever since it re-opened, Frank's been "Sweet Nothings"'s number one customer. That he harbors a gigantic crush on one of the owners is something that he's kept to himself for the most part (Ray will never tell a soul.) It's not until he strikes a friendship with the older brother of the object of his affection that he 'fesses up. Moved by Frank's pining, Gerard promises to help Frank woo Mikey. Complications arise when Gerard's "helpful advice" is anything but. Will Frank be successful in his courtship or are his chances to win Mikey's heart as ruined as a burnt cupcake?

You Only Hear The Music (When Your Heart Begins To Break) by Acadjonne, 28k, Mature. Mikey and Frank have known each other for years. They're roommates, and best friends. They're also friends with benefits. The arrangement is casual, and it suits them both. Somewhere along the way, Mikey develops feelings for Frank, but he pushes them aside. They aren't important, he'll be fine. Or, Mikey is fine, until he somehow ends up pregnant a year into this thing with Frank, and all of a sudden, he's got more to deal with than just how long he'll be able to hide his feelings for Frank or how the hell he's supposed to afford his transition.

Give Me A Reason To Believe (Failboats In Love) by Acadjonne, 14k, Teen And Up Audiences. On the night of October 31st, Linda and Frank Iero welcome a baby boy into their family. He weighs six pounds, four ounces, and is nineteen inches long. They give him a family name, and he becomes the third Iero man to bear the name of Frank. A year later, on All Hallow's Eve, a sleeping baby is taken from his crib and replaced with a fake. The babe will later be taken from the hands of the goblin that stole him, and he will be raised by two rowan treefolk, a house brownie, and some pixies. ----- When Ray walks down the stairs to the Way family basement, the last thing Mikey expects to see is a scrappy and long-haired form following behind him. But as he later finds out, Frank is almost always unexpected in the best of ways, the rest of the world be damned.

Death's Muse by TheFratelliEffect, 53k [WIP], Mature. Lonely and depressed, Mikey Way is battling through the drab years that immediately follow college. Struggling to make a living as an artist, Mikey has became a battered down, quiet introvert whom wants nothing to do with the abusive romance he is unwillingly involved in. On a cold winter morning, the starving artist is confronted with the opportunity to paint Frank Iero, the Midnight Falls' elusive, young doctor, which he takes up immediately. Love and lust ensure as the story opens on the painter as he meets his muse.

Gallons Of The Stuff by MCRmyGeneral, 20k, Explicit. Frank has been amused by blood for as long as he can remember. When he was a child, it was a simple fascination; the way it felt on his hands, the way it looked dripping to the floor, the way it smelled. But as he grew older, that simple fascination morphed into a daring lust. Blood no longer amused him, now it turned him on. Frank has never intentionally hurt someone just to see their blood. He just takes what he can get whenever an accident happens. But when Mikey is hurt bad, Frank discovers how hard it is to keep his hands, and thoughts, to himself. He loves Mikey, he has for a long time. But now, he finds his silence so much harder to keep. He has two choices: either tell Mikey how he feels, about him and his blood, and risk scaring him away, or keep quiet, and never let the man know how much he means to him. Whatever he chooses, he knows that someone will get hurt.

10. morph - twenty one pilots

going from a diehard twenty one pilots fan to everything being kind of ruined by Everyone, it took me a while to get into this album. i rlly like this one tho

i get Stressed(tm) trying to tag people for this shit so!!! if u see this and u wanna do it!!!! then i tag you!!!!!!!

[gothclavdia]

lots of the lynz hate stuff is spread by mcr fans who think that she "ruined" frerard somehow (the cheating stuff and the sleeping with steve stuff is mostly stirred up by these people). they're sexist and gross. i strongly distance myself from those people and i think that she and gerard are great for each other, but i'm not her biggest fan because she refuses to criticise the sus stuff her band has done and is rude to people who genuinely want to talk about the offemsive shit msi did

(im assuming its the same anon) “also there is NO evidence that gerard is unhealthy, physically or mentally. he speaks about how much better his mental health is than it used to be and the only reason that people say this stuff is because he's fat, which doesn't equral being unhealthy and since he's had eating disorders befre i would say that it's actually a sign of recovery. people just want him to be ""hot"" again”

i agree with you on the fact that a lot of them are mad because of frerard but i think that really only relates to fans who are like, idk under 16 and still so set on this concept. i still see other people who are definitely over that “phase” if they ever were in it to begin with, so i dont think its only them.

relating to the “fucked up things her band has done” theres also stuff about jimmy kissing underage fans and stuff? and chantal going to a like pedophilia themed party? i have literally 0 evidence on this but i was wondering if anyone has more info cause i’d really like to know. i’m personally a huuuuge msi fan, but if the stuff going around about jimmy is true thats fucked up. 

of course i suggest to not take this stuff at face value cause we cant really know!

[flockofdoves]

I totally get ur post in re Gerard and labels but as someone who is neither cis nor het, is it wrong for me to wish they were less subtle about it? Like I wish there was a resounding "heck yeah" when "is Gerard queer/w.e" came up and not a "well they demonstrated attraction to men and attachment to the female gender but they'd rather not label themself so....." Like. There's nothing not queer about saying you don't wanna label urself but I also can't call it queer :(? IDK if I'm making any sense

i get what you mean! i feel similarly sometimes

i think its a complicated thing with like. what is it that motivates some lgbt people to label themselves or not in various ways. i don’t want to be invasive and say people Have to label themselves a certain way because i know its frustrating when people do similar to me. its inherently tricky to navigate lgbt identity in this patriarchal world because literally lgbt identity derives from not conforming to the constructs of gender patriarchy uses to perpetuate itself, so we’re in a weird place of having to navigate our lives and how we describe ourselves and are perceived by others within that same system that can’t give us any real space to begin with.

so with that in mind, even if i personally have somewhat found solace in certain specific labels for gender/sexuality for myself, i really can sympathize with how a common trend for many people is to just not even bother with that.

but then also of course there can be other factors to why people choose to do that, like internalized homophobia/transphobia/biphobia/etc, or using it as a stepping stone for testing out waters before being comfortably open about anything more specific.

and i think a lot of times multiple of those factors can exist at once (not just talking about people who don’t use labels, but the reasoning any one lgbt person navigates their identity any specific way) and thats not even to say people should dissect all that, sometimes nothings really gonna be satisfactory, but one compromise is more appealing/comfortable/safe to live with compared to other ways of navigating stuff.

so with that in mind i always think like, i can’t claim to know whats best for other people but at the same time of course theres been plenty of people throughout my personal life i’ve gotten the sense were lgbt and maybe could benefit from being more overtly aware of it or challenging certain internalized notions they had.

gerard is a celebrity i don’t know personally at all, so its a bit different (although i guess i don’t have access to extensive interviews and live footage of people in my daily life lol. so its a different set of things to get intuition from) and what i tend to think is like. i respect that they are a grown adult further along in life than me and who obviously knows themself better than any fan does. i get the sense they probably at this point in their life have more of a grasp on their own gender/sexuality stuff then they’ve let on publicly (whether that means using more explicit labels or just articulating it more abstractly) i don’t want to disrespect what i see as them expressing publicly stuff they’ve clearly put thought into (they’ve stated they don’t even like labels in other contexts, so i don’t think its entirely fair to chalk it up just to being evasive about lgbt stuff) but also i think its a pretty normal thing for lgbt people empathizing with fellow people they perceive as lgbt (whether that be peers or celebrities) to speculate beyond the surface. i think its fair to speculate that with various things theyve said and done that maybe they will open up further someday (like saying

or how the way they used to go about certain things even if they were comfortable expressing gender/sexuality related stuff in certain ways/contexts, some of it was through a lens that demonstrated some internalized stuff (like for ex. the whole concept of prison) so maybe even if thats not the only or even main reason they don’t label themself, processing that (ofc they might have already! i don’t know them. they def have in some ways comparing recent statements wrt gender vs early interviews mentioning it) could change how they go about stuff publicly)

but yeah, i’m bad at saying things briefly, but i don’t think you’re wrong to wish that they’d be more explicit about it sometimes, or to speculate that someday they might be more open about certain stuff. i feel similarly a lot. basically like. if they’re satisfied where they are now then i’m happy for them. i can’t know one way or the other what their inner life or wishes/comfort with this stuff really is and am not gonna pretend i know whats best for them, but i do know speaking as a fan, it would make me really happy to see them as a celebrity i looked up to in part as a gender/sexuality role model back when i was a tween be more open about it in a way that people would have a hard time denying. they don’t owe that to me of course, that might not be what they ever want to do, but i think its fair to say it could be a possibility, and its okay to be interested in that prospect.

edit: also ftr i think its fine to refer to them as lgbt, thats more of a general classification than a personal label. and even like. casually referring to them as like. ‘functionally bi’ or nonbinary i dont think would be a big deal unless they some day became vocally against that. bisexuality specifically has an interesting history with its use as a term to describe anyone whos actively attracted to any gender vs many people who technically fit those qualifications preferring to personally express that in different terms but not necessarily having that mean they want to distance themselves from bisexual communities/discussions/etc

theres a fic i cant find that ive been looking for for weeks, i think it was pretty long and i know it was sterek, but for some reason the only part of it i can remember is a scene where they're in the woods and all four fairy queens show up, and each of the queens resides over a season.... i think i also remember danny being a fairy but i might be mixing up fics

@katsuki-is-our-king found this for you!

Teen Sorcerer by G8rguy

(26/26 | 168,331 | NR | Sterek)

Stiles Stilinski is tired. Tired of being ignored and forgotten once the research is done. After defeating Gerard and freeing Jackson from the Kanima he thought things would improve but somehow it got worse. Derek is focused on building his pack which includes the newly rescued Erica and Body, freed after Allison realized her grandfather was nutso, and the freed Jackson who narrowly avoided being shipped overseas by his parents. Scott is focused on his neverending relationship drama with Allison and his new best bud Isaac. Left alone more often than not, Stiles feels everyone is moving on without him so he looks for his own path.

When Deaton is unable to help him with his Spark he looks elsewhere and finds others who help him along until he finds himself meditating in his room and is surprised by an Astral form that shows up. Unknowing attracting the attention of the new Sorcerer Supreme, Stiles discovers that he might be able to not only help Dr. Strange, but he just might find out how he can protect both his home and those jerks in what he considers his pack - whether Mr. Hale or Mr. McCall consider him or not.

hi i've heard you help find fics sometimes! theres a fic i cant find that ive been looking for for weeks, i think it was pretty long and i know it was sterek, but for some reason the only part of it i can remember is a scene where they're in the woods and all four fairy queens show up, and each of the queens resides over a season.... i think i also remember danny being a fairy but i might be mixing up fics.

Hey!

Sorry, this isn’t ringing any bells for me. Hopefully someone else has read it.

[awitnesstocorruption]

On that question of whether I am correct about X being the first gay US President within my lifetime. And of course, my epistemology is my epistemology; it did work for me, more or less; the less being the episode of note which eventually led to my early demise from the realm of the Born Again.

But the universe one inhabits as a Born Again working is a strange feel universe which I tried to put a label on and the only thing I could come up with was some theoretical prelapsarian world, but OMG was I wrong on that one.

However I would claim that theres still a very odd manifestation of "objective correlative", but that isnt really what I mean. But for instance, when I was considering the "mysterious" figure of the "AntiChrist" whose identity was given to me through a Divine Thought, I kept considering "what God told me". But it wasnt like that, there wasnt someone speaking to me in my thoughts; I was thinking, but the supernatural me I guess.

And the Rhetoric Grammar and Logic of the divine thought didnt sync with my hypothetical understanding, my theoretical understanding of the Second Coming etc.

As far as I could discern, it was a periodic historical occurrence, and there were historical episodes I could cite in support of that as well as corresponding Church observances like a Jubilee Year and the opening of the Holy Doors in St John Lateran and St Peters Basilica. It all seemed blatantly evident as soon as the fog was blown away from my minds understanding by realizing the significance of the Last Gospel and the reason WHY St Paul was an Apostle despite not having been there historically. The timing in the Gospels isnt really sequential in the sense that I use the term.

Wow thats a really long intro when I was just wanting to observe that Working in the Divine Economy of Opus Dei was strange because there seemed to be conclusions which one could make based on the providential events one experienced. Eg. I distinctly remember that in the Presidential elections, actually both of them which Clinton won, he lost Utah to the Republicans. So how did I conclude that Clinton had "sold his soul" to the religious freemasonry of the LDS? Well other than his title of the New Covenant speech which was in the tradition of the New Frontier, the Great Society, the Shining City on the Hill (or what was Reagans?); in any event, other than the New Covenant speech, I based my conclusion on the fact that while in Fresno Working, I worked at a Fresno State vs BYU football game. lol. Yes, really.

In any event, my preoccupation philosophically since 1985-6 has been fleshing out as it were the developmental theory of Dr Gerard Van den Aardweg, a Dutch Psychiatrist, regarding sexual orientation, and in particular male homosexuality. One day as a high school student I was visiting the CSUF Henry Madden Library on the Fresno State Campus and there was a New Book Shelf in the first floor 'lobby" area and I was just browsing like normal bookish people tend to, this was pre internet and cell phone, back in the Dinosaur age. But you might have had the very same reaction of OMG wow, IF YOU HAD been consuming the writing of RC Archbishop Fulton Sheen on psychology and religion already. VDA's book wasnt just some treatment of aberrent sexuality, not at all. To a Catholic intellectual, VDA was discussing something very sacred, the structure of the human mind as it relates to the type of significant beliefs habits and acts involved in sin and holiness. At least thats What I discerned within it. The Victim within the Neuroses is qua religious entity, the Christ

And so back to the Work story. I cant be sure, but perhaps. Perhaps Im crazy and I way overblow the significance of minor things that mean next to nothing. I dunno. But considering the structure of a fraternal unit was a thematic in my considerations regarding the topics I was focusing on; WHY? Well because the term "Head" became one of importance and significance to me because of having accepted the Born Again in the Spirit sacrament (I call it the sacrament of Confirmation, but at a level above the "IMPUTATIONAL" sacrament most receive (the terminology reflects Reformed categorizations; Per Luther they view the Grace of Christ as imputational because they reject the truth of the Alter Christus status of those undergoing the sanctification process. )

So I think that (to be continued)...

[awsugar]

okay so, this is just in light hearted fun. is there any photos out there of Mikey kissing a dude? like Pete or Gabe or someone? cause Frank has kissed a dude, Gerard has kissed like 3 or 4, Ray kissed at least one dude, and I don't know if Mikey has. cause that's 3/4 of MCR who have kissed other guys but I'm hoping for a full 4 out of 4, for no other reason than I just think that it would be cool.

there's no mikey kissing but theres mikey/gabe grinding photo

and then theres mikey and heychris photos which pete got upset about i think

but no kissing
