freedom in ambiguity
"are you cis are you trans are you non binaryare you masc fem queer" hihi i don't know what those mean but I'm just silly.om just a little silly guy. a silly little birthday boy :3
i remember reading somewhere that ray and gerard met at an iron maiden show, is that true? do you have any details about it? either way i love your blog!!
it wasn't the first time they met but there was a significant one! gerard and mikey first saw him at a rodney's show (ray's high school punk band) and were blown away by his weird and wonderful guitar playing (they even said they knew straight away that's the guy they'd want on guitar if they were in a band 🥲), and gerard also attended art school with the singer of the rodneys, shawn dillon, who's the one who properly introduced them. then in this interview gerard mentions he and ray reconnected when they went to an iron maiden show at msg together and beautiful sophia @sendmyresignation crunched some numbers in their amazing mcr+metal essay and it seems it's pretty likely that would have been around a year before mcr was formed. i assume that's what led ray to joining gerard's band nancy drew on bass (mentioned a couple of places including lotms) too? and then a few months before mcr formed ray also wrote the music for the song in gerard's breakfast monkey animatic!
anyways if/when your most favoritest blorbos get cancelled or don’t come back in the fall when they’re scheduled remember that it’s because the people who put their time and love into making them are fighting for fair compensation to keep doing that

Say His Name: Jordan Neely was a houseless community member who was publicly lynched on a NYC subway. The fear mongering of our apartheid state has emboldened everyday people to act as state-sanctioned enforcers and agents of empire.

finished this project ive been working on- a lyric booklet for the black parade inspired by illuminated medieval manuscripts! i think a lot about how the album was inspired by medieval cycle plays and always thought it would be fun to do something with that aesthetic. you can read it here!
