There are some days when the fatphobia in bandom seriously makes me want to stab everyone in the fandom with a rusty knife.

>:(



In conclusion: FUCK OFF.

[omphale]

Fucking hell, she is gorgeous.

Also, I want those shoes SO BAD.

[octette]

WORD.

[looneyluna.livejournal.com]

Beth Ditto is the most awesome performer I have ever met.

[fuschia.livejournal.com]

I want Beth's outfit. And to look as hot as she does wearing it!

[gobsmackit.livejournal.com]

Brendon and Jon had to play this game in England called "Pretty" or "Odd" - like, the interviewer says "Prince Charles" and they answer either "pretty" or "odd" - and they got asked about Beth Ditto and Brendon had no clue and Jon probably didn't either but they did agree on "Pretty Odd" :D?

And then I found $5.

THAT LAST BIT MAKES THE STORY

ACTUALLY IT'S A PRETTY GOOD STORY

[gobsmackit.livejournal.com]

IT WAS ONE OF THE NEW CLOWN-MONEY FIVES

I am so tired of people pulling out the "You're probably fat!" card every time they get into an internet fight.

Why yes, yes I am. And this has precisely what to do with the price of rice in China?

On a similar note, it also boggles my mind how everyone in slash fic has perfect bodies with abs of steel. I, like...what? Gerard's rock hard abs now? WHY IS IT SO WRONG THAT I WANT A LITTLE BIT OF REALISM (IE PUDGE) IN MAH FIC?

Speaking only of MCR, because I'm currently borderline-obssessed:

I squealed and adored Gerard even more when I finally saw a closeup pic of him in a wifebeater, and could see the tiny stretch marks at the tops of his arms, and pics of him in the old flack jacket onstage where his tummy is kind of poking out the bottom. Frank? Even when he's at his skinniest, he has a funny, pudgy lower belly, and a weird little belly button, probably a result of him being chubby back when he smoked pot. Bobert? Everyone knows he used to be a big hulking-looking guy who slimmed down and got emo-hair.
Toro's never seemed to have a perfectly-flat tummy, as nicely-proportioned as he's always seemed. The only MCR guy who probably never has been and never will be chubby, fluffy, or fat is Mikey.

Seriously, even if they'd never been pudgy (which they both have been, Frank seems to be again now, and Gerard may very well become again at some point) most people get stretch marks and pudge in funny places, and it's part of what makes them so wonderful and unique. None of their girls seem to be chubby, even though (I personally think) they'd be just as adorable if they gained 20 pounds apiece. I really hope at some point some of them breed, just so we can watch the boys get all dorky and sappy over their girls' pregnancy-bodies. You just know at least Gerard and Frank are gonna be like "Hi boobies! Hi bellies!" ::rubfaceonthemandgiggleinanely:: "Hey, you over there! Come see my hot girlthing and her new belly!"

Bringing Patrick Stump into it, he's chubby and biteable and I just adore him. God, he's just precious and lovely and I wish I could go back in time to when he was still innocent and just debauch him.

/blabbering, as I'm tired.

You've never seen his high school photos, eh?

[spilltoblue.livejournal.com]

I like how even at his skinniest, sometimes Mikey has this awkward little tummy pudge, like kids have. Although tbh maybe it's just muffintop from his skinny jeans. XD

[spilltoblue.livejournal.com]

*nods* That's one of the things that I like most about them, that they're all realistically attractive. They're all hot but they're all also very real and don't seem to try to hide it. They all have their little quirks and weird features and funky teeth and pudgy tummies or weird bow legs and that's a lot of the appeal for me. They're all a bunch of comic and gamer geeks, and they make no attempts to hide it. They're slightly hotter versions of the guys we all know IRL. Then again, I've never been particularly attracted to any of the supposedly perfect actors with six packs and creepy veneered teeth and plastic surgery, so I'm probably biased!

I'm not attracted to Patrick anymore, but yes, it's really the same thing. He's not adorable in spite of being chubby and balding and short. He just happens to be all of those things and it's awesome.

[belladonnalin.livejournal.com]

I agree with everything in this post.

Also: FUCKING HI, BETH DITTO. GUH.

[jezrana.livejournal.com]

I keep telling myself I should ignore the fathate because arguing will only make it worse, but I'm still tempted to make a secret for next time that says "I'm sorry, Frank can't hear your opinions on body image because he's too busy having sex with his wife."

Sigh. I didn't used to get urges to wankbait.

[taeli.livejournal.com]

♥ Beth.

AMEN.

[blondiusmaximus.livejournal.com]

Seriously, what is wrong with people? I think they're just horrifically jealous that Frank didn't marry them. I mean, seriously.

[plausible.livejournal.com]

YES. Exactly.

[olivia-circe.livejournal.com]

ROCK THE FUCK ON.

I swear to god, one of these days I am going to meta the fuck out of the body image stuff in this fandom. But until then, I'll join you on the FUCK OFF soapbox, if you don't mind.

[futureperfect.livejournal.com]

For fucking real, yo.

[elucidate-this.livejournal.com]

ugh. i have missed this round. i'm unsure whether i want to look for it. perhaps not, there might be a rage blackout.

[etben.livejournal.com]

we agree entirely, even though we've missed this particular round of wank. yay beth ditto!

ps i am a royal we again! \o/

[modillian.livejournal.com]

Agreed!

[go-gentle.livejournal.com]

No, really, what is wrong with people?

[girlneedsagun.livejournal.com]
