This blog has something wrong...Can't figure the problem out so I'm moving to another blog. (I will reserve this one but won't be posting here anymore)

Let's see you at @lethaeomedusa (old name!)

I can’t stop thinking about THIS Liam tweet + Noel saying he only wears aftershave when he’s going out “smooching”

(sorry i can’t upload as an audio bit i don’t have a computer lol)

[dirtybluess]

Sometimes I just think about My sister lover, lock all the doors, guess god thinks I’m Abel, 45 seconds Loch Lomond wet kiss, “deeply in love with him”, “we had sex last night”, “I have a sore throat because Noel is not bed friendly”, the countless desperate mirroring lyrics Noel and Liam wrote for each other in their own songs, all the painful awkward incestuous “jokes” they(mostly Noel) made that left the interviewer sweating and speechless, all the mentions about crime and sin and guilt and shame about love that no one seems to question

Which could mean nothing

Could mean nothing at all

But then It’s almost like they are doing all of these because they know people aren’t actually going to go there, to think they are being serious, so they dance on the silver string to play with people’s assumptions. The thrill of expressing the forbiddened under everyone’s eyelid and get away with it must be so tempting. To mainstream media, they are nothing other than feuding brothers who hates each other after all. Brotherly love can explain all their suspicious actions. Brotherly kiss with tongue intertwined isn’t all that weird anyways. All those heartbreakingly romantic love songs, they are for imaginary friends or Manchester city or nobody at all.

The irony lies in which their love is eternally masked and protected by their blood-bond, while simultaneously eating them alive. But despite all that, their souls still manages to find a way to fit into one another. If their actions do mean something, it really is quite beautiful.

Gott I have to top-post this one it's like the first thought that comes to my mind every time I deconstruct and disenchant my favorite bands and their mysticism aesthetics, realizing there is no advanced philosophical thinking behind, but only a fetishistic representation.

[lethemeanslostorforgotten]

A sell-out is someone who becomes a hypocrite in the name of money

An idiot is someone who lets their education do all of their thinking

A phony is someone who demands respect for the principles they effect

A dilettante is someone who can't tell the difference between fashion and style

Charisma is exquisite manipulation

And money is a sandpit of the soul

sorry if this is unwelcome here but how do you feel about gerard keeping mikey’s lifeless body in their shared bed for as long as he can get away with?

Oh anon this is more than welcome here! God he'd cling on so tight to Mikey, I bet he'd freak out once rigor mortis starts to set in. Do you think he'd cup Mikey's cheek in his hand and feel his waxy skin. Do you think he'd kiss Mikey, perhaps even more, or do you think he's terrified, unwilling to accept this new reality? They'd probably stan in there for a while, past the bloating stage, when the smells draw into the soil outside the walls, into the vents and through the floorboards, until it's impossible not to notice. I bet he'd run his fingers through Mikey's hair liked they used to do when they were kids.

what do you mean “long live”. the quotes. the way the lore implies that the black parade is being used as propoganda for an oppressive regime. the way the swarm tour seemed to be in the rubble of this regime, with the secretary character (/dictator’s wife?) being bashed over the head and bleeding out onstage, and the smouldering remains of the city as the backdrop…. brother i am connecting dots that aren’t even THERE

[hifi-walkman]

The Black Parade is Dead. Long live the black parade.

the endless yearning for a beloved aesthetic tied to the past, to the point of militant devotion to it is a dangerous horrible thing. Long live the black parade.

When you're broken and defeated, your weary widow marches on. Long live the black parade.

"Welcome to the black parade", and the album as a whole are permeated with this anger at the idea of idle mourning, of idolizing your memory while you're still breathing, of the terrible torture of becoming something detested, or worse, revered in memory.

I think the themes of the announcement video are obvious enough. This, this is what happens when you're dead, and they carry on. when that which is dead becomes an icon to be worshipped. "Long Live" The Black Parade...

At WWWY on the reunion tour, MCR made a statement about the constant pointless drudging up of dead albums, and bands with nothing left to say. A statement about why the "glory days" had to end. I think this tour's title is a similar statement.

When you become violently devoted to a thing past the time of its death, this is what happens. The Black Parade died... but here it is. here it breathes again, a wicked horrible weapon.

See the man who stands upon the hill. He dreams of all the battles won.

Take his body as a relic to be canonized

"Long Live" The Black Parade.

do you ever think about how this story is being told backwards

Just...acknowledge that rock n roll stars are not the smartest kind of person.

[lethemeanslostorforgotten]

My point stands.

[awsugar]

this is so huge brained actually

[thekidsfromyestergay]

Visit Original Link

This is my quick approximation of what the record plays, and yes, it is a string quartet arrangement of black parade!

[isawken]

hey man. nice regional dialect. mind if i apply some baseless assumptions about your personhood to it? i was also gonna prescribe morality to it as well. if that’s cool with you

[gerardpilled]

Newest mcr teaser reminded me of this gag in Freaked (1993) surely this is not coincidence and Gerard has got to be a fellow Freaked Head

[transjudas]

gerard sending distorted screams to the rest of the band like “how does this one sound?” and mikey sends this 👍
