No Way out but Gerard and Mikey

@gerardwayshairtie

You can call me Harry (y'know for hair tie) but I'm pretty sure my real name is somewhere around here. Formerly Queenchemicalpanicboy. They/them.

*trying to flirt with a guy* I dig your look. I'd love to see you tied to a tree and made to bear the wounds of St. Sebastian. Completely obliterated from every angle *remembers the social contract and gets nervous* Like, the jacket for example, where'd you get that

whenever i see another tiktok girlie talking about how she wishes to have been a fangirl in 2010s i feel like a seasoned veteran overhearing a foolish youngin boasting about wanting to go to war for glory and adventure. you naive little idiot. you know nothing. you understand nothing. you weren't there in the trenches. i have seen things, terrible things. i cannot plug in my phone charger at night without being plagued by the visions of Him

Anyway I'll never forget that 22 hour bus ride to Alabama to help my friend get married and one of the legs of the journey I was on the bus with my (clearly labelled, well behaved) service dog at my side and people were throwing a huge stink about the fact that I had my dog and then this ancient dude in a wheelchair, double amputee both legs, pipes up and tells them to shut the fuck up and leave me alone because Creed was obviously trained and then once everyone quieted down and I was able to take a seat, asked me quietly if I was okay.

He also could have been a cartoon character because I could have sworn there were little winged hearts floating above his head as he told me he'd always liked dogs but of course now he's old and can't walk so he can't get one anymore but he could tell how much Creed loved me and I him etc etc

He never asked me once what my disability was. He spoke up for me when he didn't have to. A truly old white man in Georgia saw a young black person with a "dangerous dog" breed and spoke up in my defense.

If you want to claim to be a disability advocate, that means you kind of have to. Advocate for each other. For the next 4 or so hours, this man and I had each other's backs. Two disabled people on a Greyhound filled with ableist passengers who were not happy we couldn't exist somewhere they didn't havr to accomodate. It didn't matter what our pasts or our diagnoses were. We were stronger together, so that's what we stayed. Together.

Two people banded together and the rest of the bus shut their mouths. Imagine what we could do with more of us.

I would do terrible things to see bang the doldrums performed live. this being said. if I wrote THAT? I don’t think performing it live would even be an option for me. so like. I get why they haven’t.

Mutuals who I have hardly spoken with but we instead communicate through silently liking and reblogging each other's posts... I hope you're all having a lovely day ✨

Hello, Mr Neil Gaiman Sir, why is it you no longer believe in tags on Tumblr? Signed, An Overtagger

Long ago I dreamed of a world in which Tumblr tags were used by people on Tumblr to find things. As time passed I realized how mistaken I had been. Tags on Tumblr are magical incantations, jokes, commentary, revelation and drunken folderol.

Did you guys know that when mcr played in Ho Chi Minh City back in 2008 they were the first American band to visit Vietnam in like 30 years. They were invited by the government and the event was free for the entire city. Government officials were in attendance. Just a cool fact I learned

Hi Neil, I've had a really horrible day and saw you were being pretty active here, so thought I'd just say thank you - we met 10 years ago in Bath, and even though there were about 2,500 people waiting to talk to you, you still chatted with 15 year-old me about Neverwhere, and drew a little ghostie in my copy of The Ocean at the End of the Lane, which has followed me to six different cities and seven different flats in the intervening years. Thanks for all the stories, and for the kindness.
