beyond tinhats

Hey, RPS people -- and I mean that all around, not just bandslash but also popslash and Canada RPF and lotrips whoever else reads this -- I have a question for you, which is this: we write about these guys and girls for ourselves, in this fannish context, and it's not the same as reality, and we *know* that and we like it that way. (Didn't someone have a really good entry about filters and audience connected to slash goggles, which touched on something like this?) When we're going "they're so doing it" and "TINHAT", it's about our boys more than the real people who actually exist and think and talk and walk on their own.

But what I want to know is: what are the things that you genuinely, outside of all fannish viewing, think are true in objective reality? The people who you really do think are not heterosexual, or the people whom you believe really are having/did have some sort of romantic or sexual relationship beyond what is reported.

(I can say, "CKR might be queer, but I wouldn't be shocked if he did just like girls." But NOBODY was surprised at all when Lance Bass came out, you know?)

This is the most girly Gerard Way has ever looked, Y/N?

If your answer is NO, please provide corroborating evidence in the comments, thank you!

(I need an MCR icon. I kind of want one of Gerard and Mikey with their beloved coffee cups. WAYS/COFFEE OTP.)

Speaking of girls in that band!

Ahahahaha. OKAY BACKGROUND INFO FOR THIS PICSPAM:

fox1013 is very, very, very patient with me. She is the best player ever at the "not ever going to be my fandom, but rock on, i'm happy to see you happy!" game. She has had to listen to me going on a lot (A LOT) this week about My Chemical Romance. I try to keep my flailing and making her look at things to a minimum, but I haven't done as well as I might hope. I'm all "But you LIKE puppies, don't you? Look at all the puppies!" and "No, really, they talk about their desert island possession! It's funny! You'll like it!"

But actual just looking at the boys I've been good with! See, I know what Fox likes, and Fox likes girls. And MCR, as much as it might appear otherwise, are not actually girls.

...They really do look like it sometimes, though. Thus this picspam, because, you know? Mikeyway is EVERYBODY's hot dykey girlfriend. He just is. He's a girl. A hot skinny girl with glasses who belongs in a 90s girl band. And, um, I needed to show her that.

There's nothing new here, of course, but. HE'S A GIRL, you guys. At least, he was when he had glasses. These are pictures where he looks especially girly to me -- I encourage you to show YOURS in the comments, as always.
