So in
bexless's picspam today, she made a brief Meatloaf reference, which I then picked up on in her comments, and somehow it ended with her forcing me to watch the video to "I Would Do Anything For Love" which I had somehow managed to completely miss before now. (My Meatloaf love is strong, but it is pretty exclusively first Bat Out of Hell album.)
Anyway. Because it's me and Bex, this somehow led to a ridiculous tangent of awesome.
bexless: i'm watching the video now too and howling with laughter. you know gerard and ray sing the shit out of this at kareoke
pearl_o: ahahahahahaha.
pearl_o: ...man, is there any song that's not hilarious to imagine ray and gerard doing as a karaoke duet?
bexless: NO
pearl_o: there's that one interview where gerard talks about karaoke, but that was pre-sober so he's like "i only do it when im drunk!"
bexless: yeah!
bexless: and frank was all 'he rocks the shit out of living on a prayer!'
bexless: then mikey started going on about popsicles.
bexless: &MCR;
pearl_o: heeeeee, yes.
bexless: but when mcr supported bon jovi gerard said he still does livin on a prayer at kareoke
bexless: which i REALLY hope is true, omg
pearl_o: \o/
bexless: wait, when did frank get his halloween tats?
pearl_o: i have no idea. i am really bad at timelines.
bexless: *checks*
pearl_o: i seriously have no idea what the fuck is going on here. *still watching*
pearl_o: i think there's lesbian sex happening, though.
bexless: he didn't get the tats until after they made the INO video, for which gerard was (just) sober.
bexless: but he has them in this picture, in which he is watching gerard do some very emotional kareoke
bexless: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/bexless/Rare%20MCR/msg-119801955056.jpg
bexless: ergo: gerard does kareoke sober
bexless: this makes me happy
pearl_o: YAY
pearl_o: &CANON;
bexless: I KNOW RIGHT???
pearl_o: I FEEL THIS FACT SHOULD BE REFLECTED IN MORE FIC.
bexless: it's hard to write kareoke without it being lame, i guess
pearl_o: yeah, but. i like lame.
bexless: like, you and I want our chosen pairings to get up and sing duets together
bexless: or sing schmoopy love songs to each other
bexless: but we are well known for liking schmaltz rolled in sugar
pearl_o: this is true.
bexless: like a happyfic donut
pearl_o: heeeee.
bexless: om nom nom
pearl_o: OM NOM NOM EMPTY CALORIES
bexless: empty calories, like happyfic, taste delicious, though
pearl_o: no, but. i can totally see ray and gerard having a song they always do together.
pearl_o: for frank/gerard i can just see frank in the audience laughing at/encouraging gerard on.
bexless: yeah!
bexless: and later gerard is all 'you never sing to me!' pretend pouting, and frank's like, you've heard leathermouth and pencey, bb, you know why. i can only sing to you if you cheated on me and i slashed your tires and wish you burned to death in your house. whereas gerard and ray do their duet and they're sort of giggly and being silly but also like, they sound awesome together AND THEY KNOW IT and in the car on the way home they very earnestly discuss how their voices are the vocal metaphor for their love
pearl_o: AHAHAHAHHAHA.
pearl_o: YES.
pearl_o: for some reason, i imagine mikey and frank stuck in the backseat during tha entire conversation.
bexless: making vomiting faces at each other like they can't believe how smooshy gerard and ray are , even though their respective ugly love tattoos tell a different, mushbally story
pearl_o: totally!
bexless: aaaaand now i'm in a moulin rouge place with gerard and ray resolving every fight they have with gerard coming into the room and singing the first line of their song in a tiny voice, and ray pretending to be mad so gerard sings ray's line, and then his own next line, and eventually ray gives in and sings his part, and they do the whole song a cappella in their living room
pearl_o: IT IS PATHETIC HOW STILL KIND OF IN CHARACTER THAT WOULD BE.
bexless: I KNOW RIGHT???
bexless: ERICA IN ANY OTHER FANDOM THAT WOULD NOT BE CANONICALLY PLAUSIBLE
pearl_o: I KNOOOOOOOOOOW
pearl_o: SERIOUSLY THESE DUDES WHAT THE FUCK?
bexless: <333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333
pearl_o: <33333333
bexless: then obviously gerard and ray have cuddly make up sex. meanwhile in the frank/gerard version of this story, frank calls gerard's cell and gerard won't answer because he's mad about something, so frank booms barry white at his voicemail in a stupid deep voice.
pearl_o: ahahahahaha.
bexless: I LOVE HOW OUR MOST ADORABLE IDEAS WORK WITH EITHER OF
OUR PAIRINGS, ERICA!
Anyway. Because it's me and Bex, this somehow led to a ridiculous tangent of awesome.
OUR PAIRINGS, ERICA!
