i. a story

Context: fox1013 is in graduate school, studying library science and children's literature. She's writing a paper for her class on fairy tales.

fox1013: I have been awake for 19 hours. I CAN'T THINK ABOUT INCEST ANYMORE.
pearl_o: ...*zips lips*
fox1013: ...Okay, no, there is no way you can paint Maiden Without Hands as not creepy.
fox1013: see, she's a maiden? wihtout hands
pearl_o: no, i meant. like. because i talk about incest a lot.
fox1013: but that's HAPPY INCEST.
pearl_o: heeeeeeeee.
fox1013: THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE THE REMOVING OF BREASTS AND HANDS AND SENDING HER WANDERING IN THE WORLD. WTIH HER HANDS STRAPPED TO HER BACK.
pearl_o: This is true.
pearl_o: Although I could totally see somebody asking for that story on mcrficfinders.

ii. some pictures

Because I just spent a really long time staring at them and poking everybody on my buddy list to look at them with me.



When I look at this picture, the first thing that comes to my mind is "Man, and you wonder why you're always the bitch, Suarez?"

I'm kind of a bad person.



I love his divaness so much, you guys.



1. This is a really pretty picture
2. OH MY GOD THERE IS HAIR COMING OUT OF HIS FACE WHAT THE FUCK. DID YOU KNOW HE COULD DO THAT? I DIDN'T KNOW HE COULD DO THAT. It looks so unnatural on him! Like he's being attacked by a chin-hair-monster! I just. WHAT.



I love his stupid face so much, you guys. So much. Especially when he's a pretty lady.



Judgy Frank is judgy.



In ten years, when MCR is on permanent hiatus and Gerard goes to live in his cabin in the woods away from civilization, this is what he will look like all the time.



I have no funny comment to make about this picture whatsoever.



I know it's a different picture that causes the realization in each one of us, but for me? This is the first picture where I looked at Gerard and mistook him for Mikey. And then I was like "OH! Microphone!" And also wider face, but mostly: microphone.



HONEST MISTAKE.



Nothing I can say can improve that. Or top it, either. THE END.

woah what is this maiden w/out hands thing tell me more plz

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I don't actually know any more about it than Fox told me! This is what wikipedia has to say? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Girl_Without_Hands) They only mention the incest in the variants, though.

[sociofemme.livejournal.com]

ugh ugh ugh their stupid faces! <33333333!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I LOVE THEM KIND OF A LOT

[wasoncedelight.livejournal.com]

ASS TOUCHING FTMFW.

Also, while Frank is judging you, Gerard is enjoying his smoothie.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

lso, while Frank is judging you, Gerard is enjoying his smoothie.

God, it's so true. They never seem to get to the point at the same time, you know? Whenever Gerard gets around to judging you, Frank is either laughing or distracted by something shiny.

[offtheceiling.livejournal.com]

Whoa, I totally thought that was a picture of Mikey, too, until I read the stuff under it. I was like "Who gave Mikey a microphone, don't they know he doesn't know how to make sense...OH, HEY GERARD."

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*high fives you* Apparently we just needed to see the Way chin from the right angle? I don't even know, but awesome.

[blondiusmaximus.livejournal.com]

...Gerard has hair growing out of his face. GERARD HAS HAIR GROWING OUT OF HIS FACE. I...cannot deal with this. ;___;

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I AM GLAD SOMEONE ELSE APPRECIATES THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS SITUATION

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

...eyelashes. This is enough to distract me from the fact that Gerard has suddenly decided that he might actually have testosterone AFTER ALL. It's a shocking thing, so I'll just be over here... staring at his fucking eyelashes. *chinhands*

Ways!! It's partially the noses - how pointy and elfin they are.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

His eyelashes are always distracting, it's true. Even with chin hair, he's still the prettiest.

[miss-saigon.livejournal.com]

That could so be a story request on mcr_ficfinders. Also, that picture of Gerard with facial hair is totally blowing my mind, particularly in juxtaposition with his pretty lady portrait below.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Gerard is always the rapist on ficfinder, right? Poor Mikey, doomed to walk the world maimed!

[xanphibian.livejournal.com]

I can't stop giggling at the Ray pic. :D

(and amy talking about happy incest, which she has said to me several times as well and it always cracks me up)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

etben and I had a long capslocked conversation about that pic! We are very interested in Ray's weiner.

[ficbyzee.livejournal.com]

ERICA HI YOU SHOULD BE STILL UP BECAUSE I AM HOME FROM WORK NOW AND. HI.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*SADFACE* I'M SORRY ZEE! LOVE ME ANYWAY?

[jezrana.livejournal.com]

GERARD WITH STUBBLE. WHAT IS THIS CHICANERY.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid. Hold me?

[elucidate-this.livejournal.com]

these pictures are made of love and win.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*draws hearts around them yet again*

[saturnalia.livejournal.com]

I totally thought that one picture was Mikey as well! Oh, Way brothers.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

WAYS!

[ubixtiz.livejournal.com]

2. The weirdest part for me is that it's quite visibly prickly, recent-growth stubble! So it's not even just, "Gerard has HAIR growing out of his FACE," it's "Gerard OFTEN has hair growing out of his face which he shaves off EVERY DAY." I mean, peach fuzz, something wispy, would have been okay! But this is ODD. Also, the shaving frequently idea is bizarre considering there are long periods of history wherein it is questionable whether he was in the general vicinity of a sink ever.

[overloved.livejournal.com]

and with his gorgeous skin, he must at least wash and exfoliate or he's have razor burn like crazy.

[overloved.livejournal.com]

i see that chin fuzz growing on him, and i still don't believe he grew it.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

There must be a more believable explanation out there.

[greyandgrey.livejournal.com]

It's a funny thing about the Ways. You think "How are they brothers? they look nothing alike!" right up until you see that first picture in which you mistake one for the other... And then you're like "...oh. right, then. Brothers it is"

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

This is what I am saying! Weird boys.

[magdalyna.livejournal.com]

I did the same thing with the Mikeyµphone pic.

There is HAIR. ON HIS FACE. CAN'T DEAL, OFF TO MORDOR TOO WEIRD.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

HAIR. ON HIS FACE. *stick stuck on that*
