some friendly reminders:

- josh and tyler care about you - they’re not assholes and never have been - let them help you, but don’t let them define you - everyone is entitled to their opinion - civil discourse is dope - blurryface mysteries are meant to invoke wonder, not fear - bands have a lot less control over things than we realize - perfection and permanence don’t exist - live in the moment - be kind to each other - the clique should be the new colossus, not a trump rally

+ tyler and josh are both neurodivergent + it is not “romanticizing” mental illness when you speak about your mental illness, claim it, own it, share it, or use it to create art. you are free to do and say what you like regarding your own brain. you’re allowed to do what you need to do to get through the day. this applies to josh and tyler + everyone is allowed to make mistakes and to learn and grow from them

+ forcing a sexuality on someone or generally thinking you are privileged to know the details of someone’s personal life is wrong

heyjoshheytyler

+ attacking/cyber bullying tyler and josh’s friends, family, and significant others auto-removes you from the purpose of this movement and i wish you luck in finding the guidance you need to stop being awful

+ everyone is problematic. even you. right now. in ten years you’ll look back and understand

+ harassing other fans is crappy of you

+ pitting women against each other is crappy of you and an insult to the humanity of those women

+ women are allowed to: 1. have feelings, 2. not like other people

+ your idols don’t owe you anything

The new cancer cover is so cool. I admit I was thrown when I first listened to it, and I was even a little mad at first but I totally get it now. When I listened to it the first time, I got sort of riled up because it’s so much more processed and edited that the MCR version, but then I realized why.

This version is set from a different perspective that MCR’s. The original was classic and bare, it was from the mind and mouth of the patient fearing for what his family would do without him, he feared his death because of what it would do to those that he loved. It was raw for that same reason, because the emotion itself is raw and primal. They were giving a clear perspective and that meant one point of view.

The TOP version is edited and hollow in a spooky sort of haunting way. It feels segmented and cut because in their version the patient is thinking about himself and what it means to die. You can literally hear the moments as he fazes in and out of his own mind and hovers over the line between life and death. It’s scared and almost resigned, it lacks the emotional passion of MCR’s because it’s not telling the same story. It’s not designed to

MCR’s music throughout has strong messages about thinking about other people and what life is like from other people’s points of view, this is why their song is about seeing a death through the eyes of their loved ones. TOP has themes about ones self throughout in contrast. They sing about a person’s own state of mind and dealing with your own situation as if it’s a sentient being. This is where TOP’s cover is amazing because it manages to take a song and tell the same story of the same character but in a different light and through different eyes. They tapped into something vulnerable and pure in it. They listened closely and saw a different sort of story and told it the way that they saw it.

It is supposed to sound the way it does because it is from the mind of a dying man who is full of regrets and sorrow and knows full and well that he is about as powerless as he could be. No wonder the books we see are 1984 and All My Sons, the messages about regret and resignation are clear. The cover is restrained and vacant by design. Say what you will about the changes but don’t over look the intention behind them. They didn't “steal” the song and change it out of spite, they were contacted to cover it and they did that by telling the story in their own original way.

Pete Wentz on Androgyny and Sexuality

“I think part of it is ’cause at some point when we were doing this band I was like, “You know what? I’m going to be the most androgynous person that I can possibly be. I’m going to wear girl pants and makeup.” I looked to David Bowie, Mick Jagger, and people like that, and I was like, “That’s what’s missing in all the bands that we’re playing with right now! You need this effeminate edge.” Did Mick Jagger and David Bowie make out? Probably. Who knows?

And that’s kind of what I was going for, but people took that to the next level. We have a song called “Gay Isn’t a Synonym for the Word ‘Shitty’” [on import versions of Infinity on High], and people take it in a weird way, like no one could ever be pro-gay rights who isn’t gay — which I’m fine with, because it puts the issue in peoples’ heads and forces them to confront it, like, “Can I be into this guy who’s on the cover of Tiger Beat and who I think is gay?”

But I think sexuality is a lot more ambiguous and more of a blurred line than people make it out to be. People are always like, “It’s black or white,” but I don’t really feel like it is. I feel like people come across all parts of that spectrum. I think there are a lot of people who aren’t necessarily gay or straight or even bi; it’s just whatever moment or mood you’re in, you find different things attractive or cool.”
