We are the Black Parade and so are you

[exsequar]

I'm completely immersed in arsenicjade's MCR prison AU. It's unspeakably awesome, if a wee bit idealistic as to how much a loving relationship can actually develop in prison without resulting in death. Frank and Mikey are dancing the tango on my heart, being SO PRECIOUS I could die, and the extent to which Bob and Gerard are utterly dedicated to each other takes my breath away. Throw in extremely generous doses of Mikey&Gee love, Brendon the precious community priest, Brian the awesome community center director, VickyT the garage owner, and SO MANY MORE, and I am just kicking my feet with glee. I am so in love with this story, in fact, that I stayed up until FIVE AM reading it last night. My body has been punishing me for that, and I am vibrating with exhaustion, but yet I am up til TWO AM reading it AGAIN. It's so hard to pull myself away! It's given out in chapters of ~1500 words, and each one makes me want MORE. GAH. I'm forcing myself to go to bed now, and decided that rambling about it for a bit would help me get some closure and actually LEAVE MY COMPUTER.

These boys are just killing me in GENERAL. I now have 500 MB worth of video of them on my iPod - performances, interviews, everything. I've got 19 icons and rising, and I keep getting swallowed by Youtube in search of EVERY WORD THEY'VE EVER SAID EVER.

I did manage to study SOME for my european societies test tonight. I'm having a hard time motivating myself, because it's going to be a really easy test, but if I don't study at ALL I'm in trouble. The test is Wednesday. I've got two whole days. I can do it.

Tomorrow I'm actually going to get out of the house and accomplish things, it's gonna feel good. (It's amazing how stagnant a Sunday can feel, because everything's closed!) I'm gonna drop by HMV and drool over the new Rocksound (with the MCR calendar inside) and decide if I want to buy it or not. Then I'm gonna swing by the grocery store, buy myself some frozen dinners (totally what I live on) and a bottle of Bailey's Irish cream whiskey for my Mom for Christmas :D Then I'm going to go to Trinity and go to the library to photocopy some of the readings I'm missing for my test, and thennnn I'm going to hopefully go see the Old Library and the Book of Kells, which is free to students but I still haven't gotten around to going. I'm also going to check out the gift shop for possible Trinity paraphenalia to buy for my daddy for xmas.

I'm not sure why I shared that. Mostly I'm procrastinating on going to bed, wtf. I'M WEIRD. IDEK.

Have you guys read the booklet for the Limited Edition release of The Black Parade? It's kind of amazing. Each of the band members wrote something - Gerard's "something" is very long. It's a bit melodramatic, just like Gee himself, but it's very revealing about the process of recording TBP. It's fascinating, actually. And reading about how Gerard had night terrors and panic attacks when Mikey wasn't in the house... yeah. It's like that. I actually haven't finished it, just Gee and Mikey's parts, but. They're so worth it. Mikey's kind of made me go all heartclenchy. "I can only hope that you will all be touched and shaken." Oh, Mikeyway. Go read if you haven't: The Black Parade: Limited Edition booklet

And with that, I bid you GOODNIGHT!

ohhhhh lordy, I am now caught up and obsessed with the prison AU!!!


thank you for the intro :)

Ohh I should check out the Prison! AU, I love fics that make you stay up late at night when you should be going to bed and or doing other things! It looks interesting. omg I DON'T KNOW what it is about MCR that makes you fall for them hard. HOW ARE THEY SO AMAZING?

OMG I've been wanting to read the booklet for the Limited Edition release of TBP for FOREVER and I didn't realize you could read it online!! IT SOUNDS SO AWESOME. THANKS SO MUCH, I'M GOING TO READ IT NOW.

I totally get procrastinating since I do it ALL the time and I hope you managed to get all those things done and study for your test! :D

You should DEF check it out! It's precious and endless and I'm only halfway done and it's SO RIDONKULOUSLY GOOD.

I think the My Chem boys are too awesome to be real, tbh. It's the only explanation! Brian Schechter is sekritly an evil genius and COOKED THEM UP IN A LAB! And he gave the FLAWS but the STRENGTH TO OVERCOME. It also explains how Frank seems like two different people - he's got different programming, so Brian flips a switch and Frank's HOTASS WHIRLWIND GUITAR SEX GOD, then he flips the switch back and Frank's tiny and polite and earnest and so cute I just want to feed him muffins.

*HANDS*

Oh I'm so glad that link is useful to someone! ENJOY!

After reading Bob's essay on TBP, I can't help but think about how that must be a lot like how Jon must feel on this new Panic album. To finally play something YOU helped create after playing others' music for so long...that has to be an amazing feeling. <3

Okay, I'm totally going to pretend to be an adult here and not flail all over you like some half-formed alien child. It's probably not going to work, so, you know, fair warning. A friend linked me to this post and I'm just. I might have started making noises that alarmed my roomie and then had to gchat her the link before she thought I was having a heart attack, which maybe a little bit, but just OF HAPPY.

Thank you for being made of awesome and sugar. That is all. I run now, before I bring the flail.

Awwwwww! *beams* I'm so glad I could make you flail and make noises! That is absolutely my goal with feedback ;) You are very very welcome, and thank YOU for writing these gorgeous epic stories that completely eat my brain! (Wednesday Night Boys (and the clinic prequel!) is one of my all time faaaaavorites, and your Frank/Mikey/Gee? MMPH.) So. Yes. I'm so glad I could make you happy, and I'm sorry I don't leave more actual feedback! I get all intimidated by feedback systems that aren't LJ comments, LOL.

Anyway! I'm rambling. I'll stop now :)
