and face unafraid / the plans that we've made

[schmerica]

1. Meme: Ask me any fandom-related question, anything - about a pairing, an opinion, a person, writing, a fic.

2. Latest song on the list of covers I would really like to see = FOB doing "I Think We're Alone Now."

3. My last entry was number 3500. I mention this only because I am very fond of round numbers.

4. I was not aware that Pete Wentz going commando was canon. Although the throwing-up thing is weirdly endearing.

5. That actually came up randomly while I was googling something else, because I was thinking vaguely about the tattoos that Pete and Alicia have around their necks. Tattoos are sexy + collarbones are sexy. Um.

6. An illustrated timeline of all bandom tattoos would be the most useful resource ever. It would also be, like, someone's complete life work.

7. I do not know, like, anything about Bert McCracken outside of what I have seen in random MCR fandom things, so I was surprised to learn that he was raised Mormon. Because ... I feel odd about Bert and Brendon Urie having things in common. (Zee would totally read that pairing.)

8. My saved chat folder cracks me up.

9. Tell me about the AU where everybody lives in Portland, okay? There's room for comic book industry, and Powell's booksellers, and lots of live music both shitty and good, and hipsters galore. Teeeeeeell meeeeeee.

...I wrote like 100 words of Brendon/Bert once. Based on Jori's Mormon icon. I am forever unclean because of that.

Tell me about the AU where everybody lives in Portland, okay?

Gerard loves Jersey. And he loves New York City. But one of his professors has a friend that works in Portland, and as graduation's getting closer, he pulls Gerard to the side and tells him that there's a strong entry-level position at his friend's commpany that will lead to bigger work in less than a year.

A cross-country move is scary (as is leaving his family, especially Mikey), but Gerard can't not take it.

Mikey's finally had enough of being alone in Jersey by the end of the next year, and transfers out to the Univ of Portland to finish up going to school. Gerard's already starting to inch his way up in the industry, even after that short period of time, and there's talk of him getting to work on creating something on his own soon. So it's no hardship at all for them to share an apartment.

Frank's a touring musician whose band somehow breaks up at the very second that they're farthest from home. Frank meets Mikey at a show and when Mikey learns who he is ("omg I love that band! What do you mean you broke up??") and that he has no place to stay other than the cheap motel on the other side of town, Mikey invites him to stay at the apartment.

...ummm... *tags someone else?* :-D

This isn't an AU, but did you know that Travis and Bill recorded 'Naked Peekaboo' in The Jupiter hotel on E Burnside? I've stayed in that hotel twice, and ever since I found that out back in like February I've wanted to write a story about that song and that hotel and Travis and Bill wandering around Burnside and Powell's and The Roxy and Everyday Music and doing a lot of drugs and having a lot of se.

How did Mikey propose to Alicia, and how did she react?

1. So, we know bandom writes lots of porn, but what was the last fic you read that caught you and made you pause to realize, whoa, this is sexy?

2. Ummmmm, FOB covering "I Think We're Alone Now" has long been something I've thought would MAKE MY LIFE, in large part because I sometimes imagine Pete Wentz listens to that song and just wishes his relationships could be epic teenage Tiffany-inspired romances. Running away from haters, holding hands, and finding secret spaces! Oh how Wentz wishes.

7. I feel like Zee and I have talked about Bert/Brendon before. Hmmmm. It's certainly the sort of thing we would talk about anyway, because I would also read it, yep.

when it was going around that gerard was thinking of moving to portland, my first reaction was GERARD WAY/STEPHEN MALKMUS OMG WHAT. Apparently Malkmus lives in a castle? SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.

not one, but TWO of the times pete was on loveline, he talked about how back in the day he would go commando on tour with interesting results (http://thesamefire.livejournal.com/3356.html). mostly i just want to read the story where patrick hits on him and pete has to turn him down because he's afraid he has the herp.

Oh, man, if Gerard lived in Portland, I feel like would just get lost in Powell's for HOURS. He's supposed to meet Frank for lunch or something, but he's forty-five minutes late, and Frank just sighs, all, "NOT AGAIN" and walks to Powell's and finds him curled up with an art book in a corner.

Questions: Who you do you find to be the most physically attractive person in bandom? What's your favorite aspect of the mess of Pete and Mikey and Alicia canon?

[anashi.livejournal.com]

Yeah Pete and his random confessionals, he also confessed that he got his windows tinted in his car because he likes to pick his nose at stop lights. The boy has no filter.

I was totally daydreaming today and daydreamed that we dressed up as the Way Brothers for Halloween.

It was awesome.

And then I changed my mind and I was Ray Toro (which, weird, but I have the hair for it) and Zee was Black Parade!Gerard. But you were still MikeyWay.
