did you know gerard way went to art school?

I made fox1013 watch LotMS finally! She was ... mostly entertained by how much I love them, I think. But it's okay, I love her anyway.

Thoughts on this viewing:

i. OH GOD I DON'T REMEMBER EVER BEING THIS DEPRESSED BY IT BEFORE. It's something about the clear narrative arc they set up here, and knowing that the happy ending they have here gets so much fucking worse right after this finishes. The whole plot of "triumphing through adversity to Candyland!" falls apart when you know everything Paramour is still to come. :(

(I know they all get the happy ending ten times ridiculously happier when you get to the current day.)

ii. Seriously, Schechter was so goddamn hot. The movie still makes me want all the h/c Brian/Gerard in the world, except now I feel kind of bad about it, since he's not involved with them anymore. :/

iii. Also depressing: Bert. That was a bad break-up.

iv. You guys, I remembered why I used to actually like Frank Iero! Who knew!

v. Needs moar Ray/Frank early days. Much, much moar.

vi. Gerard you are SO PRETTY. HOW ARE YOU SO PRETTY.

vii. Mikeyway is my favorite forever and ever, amen.

viii. I think my favorite era to watch now is actually early!TBP blond!Gerard. It makes me sad there'll probably never be another backstage thing like this.

ix. Fuck you all, Ray Toro is fucking hot.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. Seriously, even for ME, knowing about the whole Black Parade makes it so WOOBIE, you know? And watching it with the girls was kind of awesome, because while they WATCHED the part about Gerard and his drinking, they were all, "We never usually watch this part. It's too SAD."

They're just MADE OF ADORABLE.

It's just, MIKEYWAY. Don't you lie about your only vice being coffee, we all know you're a drunk drug addict undiagnosed manic depressive who's going to have a fucking epic mental breakdown in a year. We have all heard Famous Last Words*! DON'T DO IT MIKEYWAY WE LOVE YOU. :(((((

*Uh, my personal canon is that Famous Last Words is Gerard writing about Mikey during the time when Mikey was having his breakdown and had left. Boooooooooooys.

What other footage has Jai shown you already? You have to have seen Gerard giving Steven Smith make-up tips on Taste of Chaos, right? But all the stuff from Gerard's blond phase is seriously amazing. His fey quotient seriously, like, doubles, which shouldn't even be possible. It's precious. Not to mention Mikeyway really very suddenly and surprisingly goes from hot lesbian in a riot grrrl band to super-fucking-hot boy (who is actually happy!).
