We're like the Doom Patrol.
Apr. 16th, 2008 07:33 pmI feel like there are some essential pieces of MCR canon I've just completely missed. This Blender article is one of them. In which Gerard is very honest about the week he sobered up, and Mikey is darling, and Brian Schechter is Brian Schechter, and Gerard swears like a sailor to a show at a high school.
My favorite bit:
Eeeee, Mikey's giggle! *draws pink sparkly hearts* And Gerard wrote a comic about them, n'awww! MATCHING OUTFITS! Ugh, WAYS. <3333333
Speaking of the Ways, have a rec for a story (and sequel) that made me unspeakably happy for how well it was done. This story explains exactly what I mean when I go "Oh my god WAYS! *flappyhands of incoherence*" only in a much more eloquent way.

turps33 - Frank/Mikey with a healthy dose of WAAAAYS, G, 16,600 words - An AU in which Ray has a gardening business, and Frankie and Bob are his employees. The Way brothers call a gardening service to help with their disaster of a front lawn, and basically it's all far more beautiful and poignant and achey than I could possibly express. If you love any story where it feels like the BAND is the central pairing, go read this. And the adorable sequel of Frank/Mikey schmoop, Richard Of York (Let's Start Anew). Love love love love.
I am off to pick Rob up from the airport, yay!
My favorite bit:
When Gerard was still working in comic books, his favorite creation was The Amazing Goffo Brothers, Piano Movers Extraordinaire. A black comedy set in a creepy, anonymous city, it was a metaphor for the relationship between him and his younger brother, Mikey.
Despite their age difference (Gerard is 27; Mikey is 24), the Way brothers wore matching outfits as children. Today, the Ways arrive at a Midtown Manhattan restaurant wearing identical black jackets, but that’s the only visible similarity.
With his blood-red tie, ink-black hair and snow-pale skin, Gerard looks part Jack White, part Edward Scissorhands, and sounds as if he’s been hanging out at the Bada Bing! club. His stick-thin sibling, meanwhile, wears oblong-framed glasses and the kind of candy-striped wool hat favored by fourth-graders and fashion stylists. He has the most extraordinary laugh: a shrill, girlish giggle that causes waiters to turn their heads.
