Me getting ready to join the tumblr serial killer fandom now after thinking they're awful and creepy forever
#jay mccarrol #to be clear i still don't support people idolizing like. ted bundy or whatever
This has been a fucking WILD day in Toronto. For anyone who doesn't know, one of Jay McCarrol's band members was shot and McCarrol himself is the main suspect (and no one knows where he is), an unidentified man climbed to the top of the CN tower and then jumped off (not a suicide attempt, he actually had a parachute!), and a man was electrocuted on the same street where the police were chasing McCarrol down (they didn't catch him), all today.
Damn, the only crazier thing that could happen in Toronto is if the Leafs were actually a good team.
Watching the "Jay McCarrol has been dropping us hints that he's secretly gay via his lyrics" crowd change their tune to "Jay McCarrol has been dropping us hints that he's going to kill someone via his lyrics" is absolutely sending me right now. This is truly the funniest timeline.

#i'm just in total shock right now #how could the man who saved my life have ended another's?
Okay guys I know we're all going kind of crazy right now responding to this and I'm feeling a lot of emotions about it myself but I do think maybe we could tone it down with all the jokes and memes? I know he probably won't see them anyways but I just feel like we should respect Jay and his privacy and not turn this into a total circus, it's gotta be really awful for him as it is. Speaking for myself I know Jay got me through some really tough times and now it's our turn to support him and not turn his pain into a joke.

HIS privacy? Not the privacy and pain of the family of the guy he fucking KILLED in cold blood? God... Jay McCarrol fans have always been annoying but this is actually fucking ghoulish. He's not a baby bird that needs your protection, he is a murderer who deserves to go to prison.
See, this is exactly the kind of persecution he's already facing. We don't know any of the details of what happened. What he deserves is the right to a fair trial, and what's "ghoulish" is people totally dehumanizing him and thinking they know everything about a situation we barely have any info about.
#i sincerely think in ten years we're all going to look back on this and regret our actions
Your Disney princess just killed someone
If you were to tell 14-year-old me who made these gifs that a decade later Jay McCarrol would shoot someone and the way I would find out is by someone dredging up this very post. Well. Jay if you're out there do me a favour and fucking kill me next.
#i haven't really listened to his music or cared about him in years but #what the fuck
This is literally going to ruin the tour

We should have seen this coming he was literally trying to warn us
If anyone in the GTA is disappointed about not being able to see Jay McCarrol now that he's on the lam or whatever, DM me! I have a cover band, we are basically just as good as him and we don't overcharge for shows like he does.
#plus we're not murderers lol

So, I think I'm going to be stepping back and taking a break from this account for a bit. I really don't know what to do or how to feel right now. I know a lot of you are probably in the same boat, and I just want to say how much I love this fandom and how much joy it's brought me being able to connect with people on here over the years and see how much creativity and passion everyone has in this space. Even though I'm definitely feeling a lot of negative things right now (confusion, betrayal, anger) the one thing I'm trying to bear in mind is that while Jay McCarrol is someone who I don't know, have never known, will never know, there are people on here who I do know because of our shared love of music and it's those people and that love that really matters.
I'm going to take some time to clear my head while we see what happens with this whole situation, but I do want to come back to this account eventually and maybe do something different with it. If anyone has recommendations or requests for other artists that they'd want to see photos/gifs/updates of, let me know!
This is so well said! Love you and can't wait for your blog to come back in whatever form that takes 💛
#btw as far as recs go you should check out fionn!

Who put this on Jay McCarrol's Wikipedia page I just wanna talk
Would it be fucked up if I posted the next chapter of my vampire!Jay fic? I've been working really hard on it but it feels a little weird posting something where he's grappling with bloodlust now and I'm not sure anyone would want to read it at this point anyways.
There's literally never been a better time to post it tbh
This is exactly why everyone hates RPF writers
