You should have raised a baby girl, I should’ve been a better son.
Remember when they said they were sad they were never gonna get to wear the dress again. And then they wore it again
Here’s a tumblr exclusive for ya. This was by far my most popular photograph I took this year and one of the very first I took in the photo pit when MCR took the stage in Nashville. I churned out the processed version too fast with too little sleep and have been bitter about it ever since. Not only that, but my editing skills in general have improved quite a bit in the last 4 months or so since this was taken. So here is my new (final?) & improved take on the same image. I cleaned up the grain significantly, properly placed the highlights, and yes, I purposefully took out those hideous red tones. Did you know red is my least favorite color? Lmao I’m not posting the original in comparison as I dislike it that much and it’s circulated enough. So yeah, I apologize for my sins and present to you an offering.
If this photo means a lot to you, it may be tough to consider how much it must mean to me. I only started publicly identifying as non-binary in the last two years or so. My pronouns have been rarely respected in that time. Honestly, I’ve felt time and time again like the only real change since I’ve come out is I opened myself up to some discrimination and constantly getting my feelings hurt. It’s been a pretty shit experience, but this year I got to go after a passion of mine with a degree of seriousness like never before. To have cried at my approval email and then traveled 219 miles to be here, in front of Gerard, watching intensely as they take the stage proudly executing the most notable non-gender conforming moment in all of music in 2022… pretty fucking incredible.
This doesn’t even begin to take into account the public reaction the My Chem fandom had to my work. You made me believe in myself and my art more than I ever have before. Your likes, reposts, comments, fan art… every single bit has lit up my whole world time & time again. That’s all I really have got left to say: thank you for everything. Love y’all forever.
[Showing you my camera roll] oh yeah heres me lost in the forbidden wood, afraid
Thats me scared because i found the witches hut
These next few are me running
When he mentioned to me “I want to be a vintage cheerleader” I’m like “Okay, what era are we in? 50s, 60s, 70s, 40s?” and then he was like “Find me something that’s within possibly this color scheme.” (...) It was probably like 10 different vintage stores that we went to (...) And it happened to be as we were leaving one of the stores, I looked on a sale rack and I saw this like damaged, weird, vintage cheer dress that had no zipper, that had no hem. And I was like “I love this!” (...) We reshaped it, took the whole thing apart, reconstructed it to be his measurements and still kept it authentic. | Marina Toybina on the cheer dress.
