I am somewhat fond of my fandom.

[schmerica]

Ugh, you guys, sometimes I really do love this fandom ridiculously much. There's just something obscenely charming about My Chem's apparent pressing need to display their love for each other publicly and on their bodies at all times.

An incomplete list:

+ Gerard writing MIKEY on the side of his neck during Projekt Revolution
+ Gerard wearing a pin of Lyn-Z on his stupid jean jacket
+ Mikeyway wearing an Umbrella Academy t-shirt
+ Mikeyway wearing a fanmade t-shirt with Gerard's face
+ Frank wearing a "MIKEY WAY" t-shirt
+ Frank wearing an Umbrella Academy pin on his jacket

(I am pretty sure Fall Out Boy is very fond of this game as well, particularly between Pete and Patrick, but to be honest, the only thing that's stuck in my mind there is Pete's post-Summer of Like Mikeyway pin decorating his hoodie. I have an OTP, shut up.)

I love how much they love each other. ♥

Edit: see comments for Ray getting in on the UA t-shirt action! HEEEEEART.

Don't forget Ray wearing the (probably) same UA shirt (http://community.livejournal.com/chemicalromance/3137687.html#cutid1) the gig after \o/ OH, BOYYYS.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen that anywhere! I guess that is what I get for not joining the community (grr, protected entries.)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I knooooooooooow. Just! UGH.

I didn't even realize it was locked /o\ Alt link (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2415/2284768013_a720f0f69e.jpg), there may be more at that flickr.

NAWWWWWWWWWWWW. That makes me so happy! I suspected Ray must be at least a big a fanboy of his guys as the rest of them, but it's a lot harder to find pictures. ♥ x 1000000

Now that I know that 'zoid' is Lyn-z's nickname, the picture of Gerard with zoid written on his neck fills me with het OTP glee!

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

It kinda gobsmacks me how four of those examples are from, like, the past four days. Did they have a sudden crisis of faith in how much they loved each other? A desperate need to reassert it? Someone mentioned that Ray wore a TUA tshirt too! *hands* I love their love <333

[fairestcat]

GOD I love them all so ridiculously much. The way they all clearly so adore each other, with Frank referring to them as his "family" and all the wearing stuff showing their love for each other fills me with glee. Although the way they all wear each other's clothes ALL THE FUCKING TIME is really just as awesome. It seems like there is no clear delineation whatsoever which t-shirts belong to which band member, they just throw on whatever is handy when they're getting dressed.

I have boatloads of yaaaaaaay for all of them!

Here's the real question...what does "OGNEP" stand for? "Oh God Not Enough Pete?" "Oh God Now Ever Present?" What?

I love these pictures. LOVE!

[spvinter.livejournal.com]

There's an explanation of OGNEP in the chemicalromance post with the pic of Ray in an UA shirt. I quote:

For all of you that asked what's OGNEP here's the explanation.
There's this large community on the internet called Orkut (and I'm sure that a lot of you heard about it). It was created a community called "My Chemical Romance Brasil" and inside there was a chat and somoeone said:
'O Gerard Não É Perfeito' = OGNEP
O Gerard Não é Perfeito, the translation is 'Gerard isn't perfect'.

A boy made a t-shirt out of it and somehow gave it to Mikey Way.
OGNEP is not a 'i hate gerard' thing. I belive it was something related to all people that go teenie about Mr. Way.
So.. That's it. Brazilian fans, i'm sorry if i wasn't supposed to explain that.

I've been wondering if Frank and Mikey are in some kind of love-showing competition. Frank sees Mikey's Umbrella Academy love and raises him a shirt with Mikey's name on it, but Mikey counters with a shirt with Gerard's face! Frank will have to break out the "I <3 Gerard" shirt he wore last fall again.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

YES. ♥

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Apparently February is kill us with their cute month!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

YAY

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

It's just so awesome, man. <3

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I still haven't read Umbrella Academy, man. It's tragic.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha. KEEP UPPING THE ANTE, BOYS.

[shihadchick.livejournal.com]

This post pretty much put the dolphin-noises cap on a day that was already overloading with squee, so, y'know, thank you kindly for the links and HELL YES I AGREE. Ugh, boys, HOW SO LOVEABLE?

[hnix.livejournal.com]

Oh look it is a RIDICULOUS EXPLOSION OF AWESOME in one tiny post, HOW CONVENIENT AND SPACE-EFFICIENT.

Ray getting in on the UA t-shirt action!

Okay, for some reason my brain read this as "getting in on the unicorn shirt action" and I went "Ray/Gerard/Lyn-Z???? WHERE IS THIS OMG OT3 OF AWESOME" and now I am sadface that this was not right.

[alanna-zero.livejournal.com]

OMG the love ♥ It's KILLING me.

[yan-tan-tether.livejournal.com]

These are awesome!

Also, is that Bob on Mikey's shirt in Chile? (http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff223/yan_tan_tether/MCR/mychemicalromance--large-msg-120394.jpg)

[inmyriadbits.livejournal.com]

I haven't either! But the logo's pretty. I would probably covet the pin even if it wasn't a fannish thing. :)
