give these topics the careful consideration they deserve

[schmerica]

All I want to do today is sit around and think about Bob mooning over his bandmates. SIGH. Instead today my mom is making us all run around all day helping her bake and decorate and be busy little elves. My mother has never seemed to understand true Christmas spirit can only be achieved by sitting around in warm rooms with tasty drinks relaxing and listening to carols. It's sad, really.

Here are two topics on my mind today, babies, which I would like to put on the table for discussion.

First is this: just how many unsuspecting and otherwise innocent dudes in bandom do you think have suffered the consequences of falling asleep near Pete Wentz and paid dearly for it? I can think of very few people in the world whom I think would embrace teabagging more than Pete, is the thing.

Second: who do you think is possibly just really lazy in bed? I think have seen convincing arguments for Pete Wentz and both of the Ways, among others, but I don't know Panic well enough to venture an opinion there.

If you mean "lazy at sex," I vote for Ryan Ross. He seems kind of unenthusiastic about things unless they're all about him. He is probably a totally bossy, lazy bitch. For some reason that makes me laugh really hard.

I am creeped out by the thought of anyone sleeping near Pete Wentz, as much as I love stories about sleepy boys and cuddling. AND I DO. God, where are all the group cuddling/sleeping/napping/tucking each other in stories? I don't even care if it's MCR or Panic! or what. BRING ON NAP TIME.

I LOVE CUDDLING AND SLEEPING AND NAPPY TOO OMG! It is honestly one true totally non-sexual kink. Late night conversations on the MCR bus where they're all taking care of Gerard while he's all crazy and pumped up and he finally falls asleep on Mikey's shoulder, and Mikey and Frank are speaking really quietly so he doesn't wake up again.

If someone is using someone else's thigh as a pillow, then I am THERE. Particularly if someone else is petting their hair gently. I don't know, it just... It makes me all *FLAIL*.

Oh, have you read the Q&A on the FOB site where a fan tells Pete to say something nice to Patrick, and Pete answers that he would, but Patrick's sleeping with his head in Pete's lap and he's petting his hair and doesn't want to wake him? ♥

[harriet-vane.livejournal.com]

Yes, EXACTLY that, but not Pete. (My great failing as a fangirl: I DO NOT GET Pete Wentz. Like, at all.) That is really fucking cute, though.

[raveninthewind.livejournal.com]

But Pete is the easiest to get! He's so on the surface and reactive and emotional. He loves his dog, his friends, his girl--he needs to touch people and also feel their reactions to his words, actions, music, messages. He's the most transparent of any of the guys. He might be mostly loud and obnoxious, but he's also introspective and self-examiningon par with Gerard.

[harriet-vane.livejournal.com]

I just... I don't know. He weirds me out a little bit! I think he's pretty cute hanging off of MikeyWay, but otherwise I start thinking about him and a wickedly underage Ryan Ross and I get all uncomfortable. But he seems to make a lot of other people (including Patrick) very very happy, and I am in favor of everyone being happy. :)

[neery.livejournal.com]

That is sad (In the way where I really really love Pete Wentz and of course EVERYONE SHOULD AGREE WITH ME ALWAYS), but then, I don't really get Mikey Way. Clearly, we both fail as fangirls. GOOD THING WE CAN AGREE ON THE CUDDLING.

[harriet-vane.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, MikeyWay. He was my gateway in to bandom at all! He is so awesomely weird. But I am willing to concede he is not everyone's cup of tea. Ohhhhhhh Mikey.

On the other hand, I like ANY of Panic! cuddling in any given combination. Or in a puppy pile. I AM NOT PICKY. In fact, I will read virtually anyone cuddling with anyone else, as long as I get cuddling. Ohhhhhhh sleepy boys. Why are you so awesome?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

MORE CUDDLING FOR EVERYBODY, is what I say.

[harriet-vane.livejournal.com]

There clearly needs to be some kind of ficathon with prompts like:

+someone is very sleepy and needs a nap
+someone has a cold and requires tea and lots of love
+someone has crashed out from coffee/sugar and has a headache
+someone is homesick on the road and needs cuddling
+the weather is shitty and there is nothing on TV

I mean. I could go on for a WHILE like this. I won't, though.

Someone should make it into a commentfic challenge!

It's not that I dislike him, not at all, I just don't understand him! Like, I need people to sit me down and explain to me what the hell he is even talking about, because half the time, I just don't get it.

There's this clip from the Black Parade Press conference where Mikey talks about how he'd bring a Conch shell to a deserted island, because then he could talk all the time, and I was like o.O? fairestcat had to explain to me that it's a Lord of the Flies reference, and then I laughed a lot. It's like that all the time for me with him, really. I need a Mikeyway-to-neery translator.

(Also, he got hot.)

[harriet-vane.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I fell for Mikey more in his "bitchy lesbian" phase; the current Elvis hair is throwing me off a little bit.

IDK; he makes sense to me. But I have a younger sibling I am super close to and we mostly use in-joke twinspeak when we talk. I think I just vibe on Gerard and Mikey more easily than most people.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

But ... MIKEYWAY! And PETE WENTZ!

Of course, I don't get Spencer Smith, so who am I to talk?

If only I'd known this, I'd be barraging you sooner. DAMN ME FOR DISCOVERING THIS ON CHRISTMAS. As such, I'll only share one fact: a reporter was late to an interview, and kept calling Panic!'s management to keep them updated as to his arrival time and progress and all that. When the reporter finally got there, turned out the "management" they kept talking to was "Spencer Smith." AND HE WAS LIKE, 17 or 18.


...MERRY CHRISTMAS. (My present to myself was finally getting to read the comments to this post.)

*giggles* That is fucking adorable, I do have to admit that!

[raveninthewind.livejournal.com]

This icon is my fave visual for petting.

[harriet-vane.livejournal.com]

Yes. Exactly, EXACTLY like that. The look on Ray's face? That is what I'm talking about. And then Gerard falls asleep and they all talk about how worried they are about his drinking, and he naps, and I LOVE THEM.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*melts and is a puddle of pearl* Napping on somebody while they worry about him = BIGGEST BUTTON EVER, seriously.

[harriet-vane.livejournal.com]

Ugh, my total descent in to Panic! madness happened when I found out Brendon got knocked cold on stage at Leeds and there are all these pictures of everyone freaking out over him. I am SO EASY if you hit the right buttons. Seriously.

And just, everything about the giant pile of love and cuddles that is MCR, you know? I love them loving each other. It's like a sickness.

I will really, really stop stalking your livejournal now. Really.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Awwww! I have not seen any of those pictures!

[harriet-vane.livejournal.com]

Here (http://s153.photobucket.com/albums/s227/discoveryhs_fieldtrip/?action=view&current=brendon_leeds.jpg)! and here (http://s153.photobucket.com/albums/s227/discoveryhs_fieldtrip/?action=view&current=ohbrendon.jpg)! There are lots of others, but I am trying to keep my crazy to a minimum.

In my head afterward it was nothing but cuddling for days. I mean, he was fine; he finished the set. But that doesn't deter me from believing that there was petting and snuggling forEVER, pretty much. And that's how I ended up writing 50,000 words about that kid. I roll my eyes at myself SO HARD.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Oh, god, if you look through my stories, I don't think there is any trope I overuse more than "someone lying with someone else's head on their lap/thigh." I have to stop myself from abusing it even more, because it = instead HEART in my head.
