also, i approve of how much ray/gerard is going on in the comments there

[schmerica]

I am in love with the bandom unpopular opinion meme, you guys. Here are a couple of things it's got me thinking about, though:

Things I have learned from the bandom unpopular opinions meme:

1) Incest fic is wrong, not hot. I want to go around saying that about everything now, you guys. (Also, complaining about incest should be against the rules at the same time you complain about no one writing kink = hilarious, y/n?)

2) There are people who hate Frank/Bob, you guys. Apparently a (ANONYMOUSLY) LOUD AND VOCAL section of fandom! I just. I feel like my world is turned upside down. Frank/Bob. It's made of kittens and rainbows and dorky-ass goofy freaks! I AM GOING TO BLOCK ALL THIS KNOWLEDGE FROM MY MIND BECAUSE IT MAKES ME WANNA CRY YOU GUYS. If you hate this pairing, don't ever ever ever tell me. I am going to live in a world where everyone embraces it's awesomeness.

(You can tell me if you don't like Fraser/Kowalski or Pete/Mikey or, I don't know, even John/Aeryn. I will be surprised by your lack of taste, but it won't WOUND MY SOUL like this.)

3) I can vaguely follow the arguments, but in reality I will never get why people hate fic with the canon girlfriends/wives involved.

4) There are people who think the fact that Gerard looks like a girl is a BAD THING. Also people who use "cocksucker" as an insult. I'm so confused.

5) MIKEY WAY IS A HOT-ASS SHUT UP.

6) No, Patrick Stump is not fat, but if he WAS, that wouldn't be a horrible insult and it wouldn't make him automatically ugly and completely unattractive. BOTH THE PEOPLE TRYING TO INSULT HIM AND THE PEOPLE DEFENDING HIM TEND TO PISS ME OFF. Fat is not a horrible slur! FAT PEOPLE ARE HOT, OKAY.

I have wasted an inordinate amount of time reading through those threads, and really, all I can come up with is than "unpopular" opinion apparently means "OMG, only 49% of the fandom will agree with me! Help, help, i'm being oppressed!"

[sociofemme.livejournal.com]

I can never remember, is it unpopular to like the music, or hate the music?

[cidercupcakes.livejournal.com]

Secretly-teenaged-girls-at-fifty-something Bruce and Steven say: Let's go braid each other's hair and talk about boys, Gerard! :D

[soundslikej.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD I HAVE LOST MY ENTIRE DAY FOR THIS THING.

1) Ahahahahaha yeah. I want to say THAT SHOULD BE AGAINST THE RULES to everything now.

2) I know WHAT??

3) I think they have a valid point, actually...I hate writing girlfriends because we have no canon on most of them. No interviews, no videos, just pictures. Which...makes it hard not to make them cliche. Which isn't to say good writers can't pull it off! There are plenty of girlfriend fics that I love! ...but it's tough.

4) *boggles at the world*

5) ALL VERSIONS OF MIKEYWAY = HOT.

6) Argh, yes.

In conclusion HI THIS FANDOM BRINGS ME GLEE AND AMUSEMENT.

3.

BUT YOU COULD WRITE LYNZ

FACT.

MSI's website keeps scans of every article MSI has ever done.

Now everyone go out and write me LynZ fic. ಠ_ಠ

[drunktuesdays.livejournal.com]

i can't stop giggling at some of those threads.

[soundslikej.livejournal.com]

Well yes, hence the "most"...there is canon on Lyn-Z and Ashlee. I just, you know. Have no interest in writing Ashlee.

Also, YAY. That is useful! Perhaps I shall read them, and then write Lyn-Z fic! For she is deeply hot! *spins*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Most of the fun of these memes is getting to feel like a martyr, anyway!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

BOTH. THAT'S THE MAGIC.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Time for slumber party!!!!!!!

[vic-ramsey.livejournal.com]

This made me laugh because IT'S TRUE.

[cidercupcakes.livejournal.com]

...I want to read about a Bruce-Gerard slumber party so hard now. So hard.

LOL IMPALED ON MY OWN SWORD :D:

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

1) ME TOOOOOOOO.

2) They talk about it like it's one of those pairings people just make up to be weird! Like it has no canon basis! And it's like, even if you don't like it ... FRANK THANKS GOD EVERY DAY FOR BRINGING HIM BOB. He jumps into his bunk! He climbs on top of him! He almost kills Bob at every performance and Bob never gets mad despite the fact that Bob takes no shit from anybody! They are super close friends! EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE PAIRING, THIS IS NOT A CASE WHERE WE ARE JUST MAKING CRAZY SHIT UP, OKAY.

3) No, like. I understand the arguments intellectually, is what I'm saying! I just can't get over the "...Jamia? Alicia? Lyn-Z? :D" part of my brain.

4) Gerard being a girl is one of the things I love most about him! And Pete Wentz is a cocksucker is an insult? What?

5) MORE MIKEYWAY FOR US

6) SERIOUSLY, stop being fatphobic, fandom!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

LYN-Z WOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

[vic-ramsey.livejournal.com]

Usually these meme's make me annoyed and angry but for some reason BANDOM's unpopular opinion meme is filled WITH RAINBOWS.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I had no interest in writing Ashlee until Jori gave me a really awful Pete/Ashlee bunny. :( Now I have to do, like, research and shit about her.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Me neither! It's awesome.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I know, what's up with that? Usually I just get cranky, but this is all lulz.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

:D :D :D :D :D

Actually, "sleepover princes" is canon for the FOB/Panic side of things. Oh, boys.

[soundslikej.livejournal.com]

2) Yes! Like...it's not us smushing Panic and My Chem boys together or something (which I am also very much a fan of!). There is canon clinging and love and BOYS BEING AWESOME. TOGETHER.

3) Ohhhhh ok. I like that part of your brain! It is a fun part! *agrees with it*

4) PETE WENTZ SUCKS COCK AND I LOVE HIM FOR IT.

[soundslikej.livejournal.com]

........*encourages*

[lovesongwriter.livejournal.com]

the only problem with MSI interviews is if they get a shit interviewer, they will bullshit like no other.

Like stories of LynZ lighting practice spaces on fire for her audition.

[violin-road.livejournal.com]

I srsly read like half of everything they'd ever had in the media before I got distracted. Hilarious.

[jezrana.livejournal.com]

I have NOTHING to do at work today, but I can't leave yet. That meme/me=OTP.

I...seriously don't get hating any pairing to the point of badmouthing it, I find. The pairings I'm most "DO NOT WANT" about, I've still never found it hard to just not read the fic or comment in the threads. Live and let live, people!

[soundslikej.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahaha awesome.
