hello and thank u for gifting us with access to your beautiful and bountiful crops (archive) as an archaeologist, i love and respect the intricate record keeping so much <3
i wanted to ask if you had anything else to add on the ft willz front-
i have been digging and ive seen a lot of stuff attributed to ftw without a source? I looked through your links post and i met a lot of dead ends on the myspace page, and i have seen that the skeleton crew versions are different from the original myspace versions??? please let me know if im missing anything other than the three(?) that have proof!
i literally went to college for roman poetry and archaeology and i WILL be using my skills for evil (frnk research) LMAO
Thank you for giving this a read!
That is so amazing you have a background in formal archeology. I can't imagine the weapons of technique & research you have. I too have noticed differences in the myspace vs skeletoncrewonline entries particularaly in the digital signatures. sometimes it's "F.T. WillZ" and others "F.T.Willz"
and of course the main ftwillz speculation revolves around this screenshot below. here you can see the unsourced screenshot doesn't match the lettercase. so i'm wary of rouge screenshots (without a capture)
I do have a video with most of what solid proof I have.
I only trust ft willz from 5 sources (captures of anything ft willz said on)
1. ftw myspace
2. skeletoncrewonline 2008
3. the ft willz tumblr (yes I think it's real and i have theories here -> (1 , 2, 3, 4)
4. sometimes tidbits from frank tweets that match ft willz text.
5. poetry from frank-iero.com 2013.
(everything else is kinda hearsay in terms of solid ground truth.)
There's a ftw subreddit that conider "frank and ft willz pdf" to be authentic but there is no evidence and I could only find 3 poems I could match to any official ft willz captures. so I don't trust the pdf in short.
ftw myspace on has only 7 captures so you'll see 404s when you try to "view blog" or some entries only show the title. I did find a few copy/paste ft willz myspace entries posted by fans on livejournal.
which is fine we still caught frank. heres the title "shit's bananas"
left image from ft willz mypace, right image (by the same title) on frank-iero.com 2013
ft willz myspace blog poem “shits bananas when you’re disinterested” exactly matches the one posted on franks 2013 website– crediting himself at the end. a very unique title for it to be coincidental.
I am convinced that this eyeball is new to the internet. digging through fan theories, I have never seen mention of this eyeball image. below is the original ft willz eyeball image from skeletoncrewonline 2008 writers page that I rotated and put beside franks eyeball for comparison.
eyeball links: jpg, jpg with text, authors page with thumbnail “writings”- link is dumb and old)
ftw myspace
frank iero 2013 website
hopefully I got you some links for obsessing! that's all I know
thank you for taking special interest in my special interest <3
