Firstly: CMM? HAHAHAHA. That is all kinds of awesome. And also bizarre. I have ironic love for the presence of CMM at your university. *g*
Secondly: regarding Ryan Ross. I didn't mean to be at all squee harshing with my use of the phrase "pretentious ass" *squishes him* I hope it didn't come off that way! *squishes you* Ryan is one of my favorites. I think he can come off as pretentious in interviews, or at least he used to, but really, it doesn't mean I love him any less. (Also, I have a hard time believing that anyone who wrote "The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage" was completely sincere in that, but that just makes me love him more because I think he's self aware. I mean, I think he probably meant it? But he also has to know how it sounds.) Still. Ryan ♥
I may be looking at their sincerity more than the irony of my love. I may be tying the two things together. In all honesty, I have overused the word "irony" so much today that it has lost all meaning for me (but that was in relation to the most ridiculous rl situation EVER, not anything fannish). Gerard *means* it. Pete means it, but no one's sure what "it" is. Ryan means it except when he doesn't. Gabe better not fucking mean it, because that's creepy. So that's kind of the scale? And everybody else falls in there somewhere. Says the girl who is still new to bandom and can't even put Bill Beckett on the list because she only started listening to tai two days ago - so grain of salt? Yes.
re: Brendon. It's possible my love for Brendon Urie defies all explanation. I really don't even know. And my OTPness about Ryan/Brendon actually makes me uncomfortable because I seriously don't tend to OTP like this at all. Ever. In any fandom. So to have it happen in an RPS fandom is a little weird.
