dan and phil publicly forgiving their audience for ripping their private life apart. chronically closeted dan following that up by asking "phil do YOU forgive me for years of dealing with my bullshit?" and phil saying he doesn't need to forgive him. literally peace and love on phanet earth
dan asking phil to forgive him made me sob, like fuck
so it turns out phan is real
This affected me much more than I thought it would. Iām so happy!
I keep seeing this certain subject come up and I really donāt want to be negative, so Iām going to try to choose my words carefullyā¦
There are several women working with MCR or married to the band members. Of those I know anything about in their work or from social media, Kayleigh, Cara, Hayley, Kristin, Jamia, or Christa, they all have some things in common that I really appreciate. They donāt lie, they donāt publicly insert themselves in band politics, they donāt involve fans in band matters, they donāt troll fans by fawning over them and then using fake accounts or other fans to dogpile insults on them, they donāt use fans against people they donāt like or their former friends, and they do their jobs without excuses.
Kayleigh got her job because she plays multiple instruments very well, writes her own music, and can add a little violin to pretty much anything it seems. It probably helps that she appears to be very kind and is professional in how she interacts with fans. She has worked with Frank for eight years. Cara has worked with him for ten. Jamiaā¦ should probably be sainted; not even going to explain, it should be obvious.
Notice who I left out.
Your blog is rad. I have thoughts.
"think of this while thinking of frank talking about how bands can be scared to make something new because it might ruin their legacy - because he's talking about my chem. that's why they are doing a stadium tour of an album they released in 2006."
I really hope that wasn't what he meant when he said that. I do think it was shade at Gerard because I do think he is scared shitless to release new music. But they have to know that nostalgia touring would do more to tarnish their legacy than new music ever could?
Plus if that's all they are doing why was Frank defending MCR against the 'sellout' allegations in rocksounds comments?
Signed, a fan in desperate need of hope for new music from my favorite band
ahh i wish i could give reassurance but my own personal policy is to assume to worst then if they do something i can be pleasantly surprised. iād say my chem does end up lovebombing their fans in the way they will drop tour announcements out of no where and then there is an intense period of the shows whether attending or following, then to be dropped and met with silence with no reassurance of what the future hold or if they are even still together. it feeds the frenzy of an already intense fan space, but also itās not unreasonable to know if a band is still together after the reunion tour. i canāt name another band who functions in this way. Itās chaotic and unprofessional. and itās why as a fan I wonāt hold my breath for them, wonāt hope for anything more than they have given. itās the only way i can have a sense of control and refuse to play the game.
but i canāt deny that i would prefer they stay together and make music. they are still young and together the make some amazing art. itās hard to see potential wasted.
most fans wish frank doesnāt mean what he says because itās not what they want to hear.
it is definitely shade at gerard, I am curious if it extends to ray too and probably their management. i wonder about ray because he also doesnāt demonstrate a need to create. only one solo album after the breakup which he never toured and never released more. a few collabs here and there that donāt really go anywhere. and nothing else. and management and the label are always going to be a problem in a sense. they want to band active to make them lots of money but they donāt want the band ādevaluedā by an unpopular new release.
and they have experience with this through danger days. frank especially talks about the pressure they were put under to top the success of the black parade in an industry that took a step away from rock music. and if you care more about success than the art your doomed from the start. frank has also asked about the meddling from executives who think they know better than the artists and want the artists to take their input so they can feel safe about investing in their music. this happened on danger days and thatās why it is their weakest album. regardless on your own feelings on it, itās still a damn good album. and higher ups need to recognize endless growth is not possible. low periods for the band are great for die hard fans who get the chance to see their favourite band in cheaper more intimate venues. and low periods are sometimes essential for even bigger comebacks. thatās why you canāt enforce rigorous growth. example being taylor swift. reputation while popular now, when released was seen as a step down from 1989 which was believed at the time to be her peak. then the album after that didnāt do well either. but this built her up for the biggest tour the music industry has ever seen. but the fear is there and itās being told to them and itās real. especially for a band who grew more when they werenāt even together.
and backlash it tough. part of gerardās public disappearance was that good attention wasnāt worth risking receiving negative attention.
the nostalgia touring is the āsafeā move. and i rather they try that then nothing at all. part of it is a move to secure their legacy so they can be recognized as one of the big time bands. because itās not enough to have the potential to do a tour like that, you have to actually do it to prove you can sell the tickets and put on a good show. this is a status changing tour in a way. i will be waiting for the day they are put in the rock and roll hall of fame.
but is that a pure motivation is another thing.
frank was pushing back on the notion of them selling out because he himself is not selling out.
heās the one who fought like hell to get them to reunite and tour and release foundations of decay. and he fought like hell for them to keep going now in any capacity and this is the capacity. because he isnāt afraid of creating and he is strong and passionate enough to stand by his work against criticism. those comment about selling out must feel like fans spitting on his hard work.
and to give credit where credit is due, mikey is on frankās side and openly and enthusiastically supports him. thereās a reason he went to the ls dunes show and posted videos and lots of group pictures. and mikeyās need to created is often underrated too, i recommend his comics because he is a very talented writer.
new music breathes new life. like magic to follow the theme. foundations of decay i think was essential to the swarm tour. first to chart at number one, but it helped give the tour its own identity. when i listen to it i feel like i am transported back to the concert. the other songs have been around so long that i donāt have that association because they already have associations in my life from before the reunion.
sorry for not being reassuring.
they should at least be giving the black parade a twist or new edge, with that trailer. which changing a recipe to a classic is probably a more dangerous game then releasing new music.
Yes yes yes
There is a great deal of truth there. Sometimes special moments happen purely by accident. But most of them happen because you make a plan and create the conditions to let them happen.
Hereās to 2023, a year of as many little courageous kindnesses as possible. ā„ļø
To a year of kindness in 2024
Bringing this back for 2025
I never understood why Bob was hated as deeply as he was. Besides the awkward Mikey comments, which Mikey forgave him for, and the super cringe Kanye joke, Bob just seemed dumb to me instead of this deeply evil monster everyone made him out to be. I always felt like I was missing key information. I did also eventually learn that there isnāt a whole lot of critical thinking in fandom spaces. I mean, if it was really about being āracistā then Lindsey would have been ran off social media many more years ago. People, and specially white people, love the high of virtue signaling: All the benefits and none of the work it takes to really dismantle racist beliefs and behaviors.
I also donāt know why the band ended their relationship with him, so there is context that we may just never have or that has gotten lost over time.
I donāt know, I feel sad for how easy it can be for so much to change in a few moments, and for the infinite damage isolation can cause to the human spirit.
Itās important to remember that we all have the power to change our lives at any moment. Itās about having the will and the courage to try something new. Life is vast, and there is so much to learn. Create community, and embrace the growing pains of becoming a better person.
Im so glad Frank posted what he did. It also validated the way I was feeling. People arenāt heroes or villains, theyāre usually just people. I wonder if the fandom will learn anything at all from thisā¦

Hey, also, all the anarchist shit aside, tomorrow I want you to make something.
I forced myself to draw something after the 2016 election. I forced myself to draw something when my mother died in 2018. I forced myself to draw something when my spouse was hospitalized for multiple organ failure in 2021.
When you are miserable, make something. Add a row to your project, bake a box cake, draw on a sheet of lined paper, write a poem on a napkin, fold an origami shirt out of a dollar bill, make your favorite recipe for dinner, but make something with your hands, something that you can hold and look at engage your senses in.
It won't fix the world, but it will change the world. You will have made something that didn't exist before. You will have impacted your reality, even in a very small way. And it is going to be something you made *after.* Something bad happened, something shook you, and you made something after, in spite of it.
my controversial opinion: fall out boy had the better show
I had the chance to be there for day 2, and Iāll have to agree š. I was actually kind of annoyed that it was a very specific artistic choice to mostly show just the shadows on the main screens instead of their freaking faces! For the people that could only see the screens, it was extra disappointing. And for a frank girl, he was on for like two minutes total (not an exact figure, but thatās what it felt like) Also the show really didnāt connect with the more casual MCR listeners until towards the end. Gerard felt off, like he couldnāt totally find his rhythm, however I donāt think it was the same on day one based solely on Anthony Greenās rave review. But of course whenever Gerard sounded good, he sounded better than anyone else on earth lol. The rest of the band however, is another story. Ray was iiiinncreeedible, Mikey was having the time of his life and I couldnāt really see Frank too much, which Iām ready to re watch all the videos. I did, even from afar, noticed Gerard kept looking at Frank during this is how I disappear. Like half the freaking song, no throw away glancesā directly at him. Someone upload the video already!!
sending this same message to a few others,
first, sorry to bring up old ass shit but your posts were really important for me and I wanted to let you know. holy moly I didn't know/didn't realize how awful girlgerard was. i haven't looked at his blog since like 2022 but during the MCR revival tour when i was watching live streams i'd be reading his posts at the same time, drinking the Kool-aid but I didn't actually have tumblr at the time so I didn't know the conversations surrounding her and just continued to be in that weird ass fetishy echo chamber. it's wild though because his constant yearning for gerard and the other band members and their non-traditionally attractive appearances, and constant trans head-canoning helped me accept myself as a non-binary person and even explore gender in new ways that I was too scared to do before. Truly his posts were lifechanging for me and how I perceived myself and my gender and yet I now realize how deeply awful and invasive she was/is. (ntm all the anti-racist posturing, lynz stuff, and more recently her flat out refusal to admit that israel is committing genocide jfc) i was too caught up in the MCR special interest, trans special interest, queer trans visibility excitement of it all (and honestly also the horniness) to fucking think critically and touch grass and man I have way more discernment now thank god. anyway just wanted to thank you for your posts about him because otherwise I wouldn't have known because I very intentionally avoid most online "discourse" because it gets so tiring and confusing and life sucking. hope you're doing well
Iāve seen my page get a lot of love and activity recently, thank you guys šš½
I hope you are doing well also.
Iām sending everyone in the mcr spaces so much love, itās not an easy time in the world in general to navigate when we ( the emo community lol) have already been heartbroken for a minute before the ānormiesā caught on. Like welcome to the fucking party I guessā¦
