Thank you, My Chem- for helping give me a reason when I couldn't find one for myself.

All footage was taken during each of the 6 Australia MCR shows I attended in March 2023. The show footage was spliced in the following location/date order:

Sydney 2-->Sydney 1-->Melbourne 1-->Melbourne 2-->Brisbane 2-->Brisbane

2ourdust was something kinda magical, wasn't it? 🖤

Only a few short months to go until Las Vegas, until I'm back in the desert heat, until I'm back at the barricade, until I'm back in a sea of friends and strangers 50k deep screaming til my lungs give out.

And I can't fucking wait

Two things I love: Pete Wentz (in a skirt!!), and fire

What do you think about this photo? Who else loves the fire bass as much as I do?

I don't think we talk about this moment from MCR Tacoma NEARLY enough

Gerard changing his vocal inflection during this line changed my LIFE

Geoff Rickly /Thursday band supremacy.

If you're an MCR fan who came across this post, you might be thinking to yourself, "Who's this guy and why is he in the MCR tags?", I'm here to introduce you to Geoff Rickly, frontman-vocalist for Thursday band.

Why is he important? Well for one, if it weren't for Geoff Rickly, My Chemical Romance might have never existed: he signed on as producer of Bullets after Gerard convinced him to listen to a demo tape (aka The Attic Demos) of roughly cut songs Gerard had written and recorded with Ray Toro and Matt Pellisier.
