Hii if u wanted to, it'd be so cool if you talked about the band naming choices!! I think they're super sick
omg absolutely <3
first and foremost i should state that all of the bands were formed based off of certain vibes from real life bands (i had just finished reading where are your boys tonight. sorry <3) so some of the character traits / band groupings / names were slightly influenced by that. anyway <3
true blue: so. fall out boy has this thing about blue imagery in their songs. and as soon as that connection was pointed out to me i was like oh percy's band has to be the fall out boy equivalent. i did a bad job of actually making anything about the two bands actually line up in the canon of this fic. however you should know that percy and grover have an insane pete/patrick relationship. that didn't answer your question. true blue is a lyric in fob's ginasfs <3 i also fully stole fall out boy's evening out with a girlfriend to use as their debut album <3
psychopomp: the mcr equivalent. i think this will become more and more clear as the fic progresses. admittedly i was listening to a lot of hozier's new album during the planning stages of this fic. i also named the fic before i'd chosen all of the band's members i think, which is why there's the slightly strange combo of nico hazel lou and cecil. HOWEVER ive seen tons of people talk about how nico lou and cecil would get along great because all of their parents are chthonic deities (something something hermes used to be the one that ferried souls to erebos?? i think??) and i was also originally going to have a bit where all of the members of psychopomp had former jobs as tour guides of some kind (orientation leader at college, museum tour guide, etc) bc of. psychopomps being the ones that guide you to the afterlife. you know. btw 'the basement demos' is a play on mcr's 'attic demos' but there are no characters in this series that own a place that has an attic so. basement it was!
past tense: this one is actually so funny and if i explain it itll ruin a joke thats set up in like. one of the last 5 chapters lol. i just wrote it last night <3 also past tense is a dashboard confessional equivalent hence the swiss army romance demo chapter title <3
new fall of rome: what's so funny is. unintentionally. this band is basically the panic at the disco equivalent. there is nothing in the fic that really supports this other than the fact that these guys got a record deal before ever playing a show. if i wasnt a coward i wouldve found a way to include the fob/patd connection but it wasnt going to work with the timeline so they get a rivalry instead. no spoilers <3 anyway band name chosen for new roman reasons but also it has a similar feel to like. new found glory you know. or the new london fire. it just had a real band name feel to it honestly its the band name im proudest of bc its the one that i think could most realistically be used lol
and a future throwaway mention of heroz journey which was just because dreamy wanted an easter egg <3
thats all of the core bands and i dont think i named any others??? but if i missed one feel free to ask <3 i also went way overboard and explained the whole band vibe instead of just the name but ive been waiting for so long for someobdy to aks me about this fic so <3 congrats you got So Much.

Chaotic La squadra Headcanons because I can
So, I know im not as active on here as I used to be but that's just cause I kinda just. have moments where I forget this site exists hfvgkjsdfgvjksdfgkvsd. Anyways I know I dont really post about JoJo that much but take these chaotic LS headcanons because LS is the main reason I love golden wind so much.
Prosciutto is a fucking plant dad. His room has shelves that are just full of old-ass books and plants. He even has names for them.
Melone, Illuso, Risotto and Formaggio all have an Onlyfans. Formaggio has it ironically while Risotto just has it for the money. If the gang has a flight to somewhere, Prosciutto will be the one to wake everyone up at 5AM even if they have to leave at 1PM. this has resulted in Formaggio and Ghiaccio beating his ass. Illuso says shit like "Yass queen", "Slay", and "material gworl" unironically. he also uses "babe" and "sweetie" as platonic nicknames. also he dresses in drag. His drag queen name is Refa Lection yk how I said Pros is a plant dad? well Formaggio is absolutely a cat dad and yes this HAS resulted in fights since Formaggios cats often knock over Prosciutto's plants. P: "IF YOU DON'T GET THOSE BASTARDS UNDER CONTROL I WILL!!" F: "YOU WON'T LAY A *HAND* ON MY SWEET BABIES!!!! AND HOW DARE YOU CALL THEM BASTARDS!!" Three days grace, Fall out Boy and MCR can almost always be heard from Risottos room. even in the dead of night. Everyone either just puts up with it, listens along, or drowns it out with their own music. Out of all of them, Risotto has the highest spice tolerance. Ghiacco always insists that he can handle the spicy food that Riz eats. He cannot. Both Formaggio and Melone like to metaphorically fuck with everyone in la squadra whenever they're bored, with the exception of Risotto because 1, he doesn't give a shit, and 2, Melone is too intimidated by him. His favorite member to piss off is Ghiaccio. Make no mistake though, they fuck with each other all the time too. They are NOT partners in crime. Formaggio will often dare Ghia to do stupid shit and then film it. He has a whole chest filled with tapes of Ghiaccio failing or suffering during his dares. Melone is a HUGE fucking astrology and tarot card bitch. He legit knows everyone's birth chart by heart and is always offering readings. He also cleanses with incense and Ghiaccio finds it insufferable. Melone also just somehow knows everyones secrets no matter what and no one knows how. The rest of the members all sorta fear him to a certain extent because of this. Yes Melone has used his uncanny ability to his advantage.
Pesci likes to paint his nails. it's usually really messy whenever he does it though, so he'll sometimes get Prosciutto to do it for him. He doesn't really do anything fancy with them; usually just paints them a bright green like his hair or blue to represent the ocean. :) He also watches shit like troom troom and 5 minute crafts and genuinely believes practically every word that they say. He has tried more than once to recreate some craft he saw on one of those channels, and gets really sad when it doesn't work. Pros usually has to console him out of it. Ghiaccio "secretly" listens to BTS and knows all the words to the songs. Formaggio once caught him singing Fake Love at the top of his lungs. Yes Forms has this recorded. The reason Ghia attempts to keep his love for the band a secret (even though everyone knows about it) is cause he thinks that people will make fun of him for listening to it, which Formaggio does do, but mainly just because of Ghia being so insistent on denying it. He really couldn't care less. Both Riz and Melone each have a secret stash of Monster energy in their rooms and both have accidentally stayed up all night more than once. Risotto because he is overworked as shit (poor boi) and Melone because he gets sucked into internet rabbit holes. Between the two of them Risotto is WAY worse though. This man has stayed up for DAYS on end. His record is two weeks without sleep. Sometimes other members of la squadra will deadass find risotto passed the fuck out at his desk. Whenever this happens, it's just a mutual agreement to leave him there (unless it's super important) and Prosciutto will take charge until he wakes up.

have you heard of rod mckuen. i think about him in relation to mcr often for some reason probably because the annoying melodrama of seasons in the sun reminds me of black parade. black box recorder cover of seasons in the sun>>>>>>>>. i also associate black box recorder with mcr because of aforementioned melodrama + song based storytelling + britpop
i know nothing about these guys!! i listened to the cover and it's sooo sentimental. like this section...
Tumblr media
"we'll love again, we'll laugh again", "just like the leaves changing colorsss", "just you and i your starless eyes remain". but it feels like a different kind of sentimentality. my chem is so violent and pessimistic, even in "light behind your eyes" (the closest thematically to "seasons"). "ill fail and lose this fight" yeesh!! but i like mychem because theyre sardonic, self-conscious. esp bp. "your misery and hate will kill us all", "we're dead after all, through fortune and fame we fall". i talked about this before but mychem is also super insular, per its hyper emotionality. compare it to "cancer", the other very similar song. it's all about the speaker. dont look at me, prepare me for death, ill miss you. whereas i feel "seasons" is more empathetic. like the patient is nawt saying this
Tumblr media
highlighting these difference is just an exercise in figuring out why i like mychem so much lol and why it works for me when other melodramatic work doesnt. i think mychem sometimes crosses into "too melo" post-bp. like "world is ugly", "light behind".. esp "sing". yeesh

My eyeball records bullets cd is scratched to fuck because my dumb ass didn't take care of it while growing up.. still have it, but its unplayable now.. I still want to cry about it sometimes.
that does suck but tbh you could get one of the cheaper bullets cds to be able to listen to and still be able to say you have one of thee eyeball bullets cds in your collection. still counts to me! i wish i had an unplayable one over losing it some fucking how. 😔
its honestly sick the amount of mcr/frank merch ive lost. and i dont even know how!!!! like how do you lose a shirt. and not only one shirt but like how do you lose 15+ shirts from the same band. like every mcr shirt i had pre-2014 is GONE and i just. dont understand. sorry ive probably complained about this so many times but it PLAGUES ME FOR REAL. like where could they have gone.

i think everyone should listen to in the aeroplane over the sea at least once in their life. 
#fair warning i am about to ramble so unintelligently#idk where i read it but the whole story of being able to hear jeff mangum walk away at the end of two headed boy part two and then from#that point on he was just. never the same#like he had a nervous breakdown after recording the album and they never released anything else and he fell off the face of the earth for#a while#the whole premise of the album is so fucking emotional and uncomfortable but somehow beautiful#ik its like a cliche indie music thing at this point but wow i think its one of the best albums ever lol#i guess haunting is a good word for it#because its uncomfortable to listen to for a few reasons#like the subject matter#and also how piercing jeffs voice is#at some points its just painful to listen to because even though his voice isnt good you can hear everything inside of him breaking#i wrote an essay on this in like 11th grade but idk where it is lol and im sure it wasnt good#raw is kind of an overused word to describe music but fuck this album really is just that. raw and painful and uncomfortable#if jeff mangum had a more conventional voice i dont think the album would have the same impact it does#the album probably wasnt recorded in order but it feels like it was recorded in one continous session from start to finish#and you can kind of jeffs voice shift from start to finish it just sounds more and more desperate and almost#unhinged? not the word im looking for but it fits#fuck i had to pause the album holland 1945 came on and i want to finish typing this lol#like i know mcr has a ton of 'mythology' surrounding the history of the members and thats one of my favorite things about them#and nmh has that same kind of mystery about them too#but in a different way#im struggling to put this into words but the way neutral milk hotel kind of just. stopped bc of jeff's mental health leaving fans with#no closure makes me think of what would have happened if gerard died in 2004 after revenge#maybe i am looking way too deep into this bc im supposed to be doing homework but#and then the whole idea of having no closure#gerards 'its not a band its an idea' comment and the whole breakup provided no closure in my opinion (and now i see why but irrelevant) and#idk if that was on purpose. and jeff mangum didnt want to officially break up nmh right after becoming famous even though he could not#handle it#and it reminds me of the mcr breakup in that people viewed it as selfish and they hadthis whole idealized version of jeff in their heads

OMG guys you will never believe what happened at barnes and noble today
so i was looking through their records and trying to find a three cheers for sweet revenge record (i already have it obviously i am not a fake fan but i wanted more i have all the different color variants im a collector with a collection valuing around 20k, i even have an official black parade jacket). i finally found all of the mcr records and right when i was going to grab three cheers some bitchy blonde snatched it up! she was with two other blonde girls too
"what's this loser shit" she sneered "who even listens to mcr anymore? arent they a cult?"
she must not have noticed i was there so i tapped her shoulder. mind you im very emo, i have really pale skin and long black hair and i was wearing red contacts so i looked scary.
"excuse me" i said "i was looking for that record"
she looked me up and down and her friends backed up and looked scared but she stayed right in front of me.
"oh yeah? well people who listen to this music are satan worshippers. you go against god. go listen to some [she named some random christian band i dont care to remember the name of]."
normally i would have just walked away but i noticed a few people looking so i stood my ground.
"actually if anything christianity is a cult" i said honestly
her eyes bugged out "you cant say that! devil worshipper!" that made her really angry so she threw the record! but people dont know when they look at me that i play soccer so i was super fast and i caught it. i was so fast that it looked like i flew.
"w-what" the bitchy blonde said "youre a vampire!"
"vampires will never hurt you" i said, making a clever reference
her friends got scared and ran away, just then security came.
"excuse me miss, you cant destroy records. we're gonna have to ask you to leave."
they removed the bitchy blonde and all of the people who has been watching clapped! an old woman with black hair and black lipstick walked up to me and told me she liked my style and loved my chemical romance. then barnes and noble let me have the record for free because i saved it from being broken. apparently they have had a lot of issues with the bitchy blonde and i finally gave them an excuse to ban her. they also gave me a ton of free books!
so yeah, that's what happened at barnes and noble today. the end.

fall out boy was pretty small at the time (2003ish) and they had a community right?
i can never find communities of small(?) bands, even bands with 100,000 on Spotify,and no community. on like every social media, zip nada zero
do you have any advice on how to find these communities? or how to make them if they dont yet exist?
i think fall out boy (and my chem) were sort of lightning in a bottle, rock bands with that kind of longevity dont happen very often so their base was a little more special early on. i also think the music industry operates differently now— there arent listening stations in hot topic or cds or really even radio anymore, its all spotify and tiktok.
the only time i have experienced something comparable was with swmrs, ultra q, and other burger records bands, who had access to the intense die hard fanbase of their father so there was always fanfiction and shipping and memes and edits and massive group chats and stan drama. they just… werent very good, and also were too prissy to tour properly or do any real grinding, so they stayed small and intimate for longer than most bands do while also having access to festivals and good tours like with atl and parx because daddy got them in and daddy got them record deals. and they had this crazy online base. i think in a world where so many bands are happening all the time because of streaming and tiktok instead of any sort of signing process people wanted to experience being part of a sure thing from the ground up. and it felt like a sure thing when youre seventeen years old and dumb as hell. also bands can have a million followers on tiktok and theyre 17 and nobodys ever heard of them because thats just how things are now.
ive worked with over 150 small artists now and by far the most successful of our interviews in terms of hits are people with a nepotism connect, like destroy boys or the paranoyds or skating polly or ultra q or sitting on stacy. a lot of those people also make better music and understand how to do things like build a proper website and book tours and grind on social media because of their connections. i worked with an “””industry plant””” (if thats even a real word) as well with huge names backing them but no famous parents that i can tell— they did tell us they knew someone though— and they got barely anything despite for batting for us harder than most on socials because they dont have any semblance of an organic following yet.
theres other bands, like bleach and destructo disk and naked giants and rane shounds that i cant find a nepotism connect for that did really well because of how hard they plugged it, and also because they just have a certain quality to them. one of them is just this really nice college kid thats a friend of a friend and he has like 500 spotify listeners or something but hes big on solely youtube because he makes video game music that fits the the youtube demographic i guess, and he has the most popular interview weve ever done except maybe skating polly because they posted it on their website. theres other bands like bad waitress and better than this that i think make really good music and have (from my outside perspective) comparable record deals but they just dont have as much of a base for whatever reason. i usually dont know how something is gonna do until random people are DMing me or the interview gets a ton of hits or something. then again i dont really try to predict it, we just talk to whoever we feel like talking to that answers our emails.
anyway in short i guess its a lot of luck and a lot of things have to line up right for the sort of magic that was fob and mcr to happen and the base to feel that way. even before fall out boy was a band and pete was playing in the worst hardcore bands imaginable he had a bunch of hysterical 15 year old girls following him around chicago because people with tabloid cover charisma only spawn in the midwest like once a century

9: explain why your favourite song is your favourite song
It’s Rush Rant Time™! It’s a song that you feel in your bones and your body (like you said when we rated sofad!) and it makes things play behind your eyes!! It immediately grabs your attention in an “oh something is gonna GO DOWN” sorta way and it just delivers so well!! Dave has said that he likes Rush/performing Rush and you can tell that it’s true because of the feeling he puts in the vocals!! like he was right there too!! and the instruments capture the mood so well too and I didn’t even know they could do that but they can! it’s just such a perfect song in every way for me. big feels and thank you for coming to my TED talk
11: any bands your friends got you into?
well fricken @castaigne got me into Marilyn Manson and she didn’t even do anything so
13: an unpopular opinion on which is your favourite song by any band?

hmm. probably pi
17: favourite booklet design?
i can’t read but! I do like the catching up with depeche mode booklet!
19: which bands would you like to see live one day?
Definitely DM and Twenty One Pilots! top just because the pics from the last tour looked bomb af
21: a musician whose music you enjoy but whom you dislike as a person or vice versa?
That guy from Duran Duran!! that Simon fella!! and the lead guy from the Beatles
23: favourite singer (only for voice?) and favourite drummer/guitarist/bassist (only for playing their instrument)
Dave!! His voice is so amazing I literally can’t go on about it or this post will never end. And I don’t really have a fave musician based solely on talent fkgkgk always something else to it
25: somebody you absolutely adore as both a musician and a person
How many times have I mentioned Dave on this post? huh. well anyway DAVID NO MIDDLE NAME GAHAN

(1) i dont think ur response was mean! anyway. electric century is the only thing ive yet to check out so i cant say anything abt it rn. remember the laughter - i remember liking it when i first listened to it. but its not the record i find myself wanting to relisten v often. which is :( but yeah. as for frank. i like his lyrics too! death spells is the only thing i can listen to when i do hw which is a little funny to me. my fav solo record is parachutes but i dont vibe with barriers much :(
(2) its the vocals that give me trouble too. i also like leathermouth but im not often in the mood to listen to it x) as for gerard - i love everything hes released so far. i love hes alien and even tho it makes me sad sometimes its such a comforting album. gerard was the only one with whom i kept up with. during the period when i wasnt interested in mcr that much. so thats it
yeah i feel very similarly... based on ur opinions which r very similar to mine u r further confirming my suspicions that gerard’s solo stuff is the only one i’d like very much if it wasn’t mcr connected. my quibbles with gerard’s solo music r generally very minor and just personal things, not things with any actual impact on whether i think it’s objectively “good,” whatever that means. i love it all as well! makes me feel many emotions :)

when did u start listening to mcr? I remember listening to famous last words for the first time and having my tiny little 12 year old brain blown.
i encountered mcr as a kid sporadically since i listened to a lot of 21p and a little panic/fob/paramore. i vaguely didnt like them. ppl would recommend them to me and id have no desire to listen.
for reasons i cant remember, just after my birthday last year i decided to listen to three cheers. i was so surprised i knew the words. i kept listening to the record, then bullets and bp and danger days and cw and the solo work. every listen was an EVENT. the end / dead for the 1st time is especially vibrant in my head. it felt like i was taken to another world
i dont know what happened to me. it hasnt even been a year. but SOMETHING did

i think i want to give my chemical romance a try since everyone speaks so highly of them, but i don't know where to start! are there any specific songs or albums that are good for new listeners? or maybe like basic information i should know? i guess i could just look something like this up, but i trust someone who's a fan of said band better than some random article
what kind of music do u regularly listen to? that will be a big deciding factor. 
honestly i’d say give three cheers for sweet revenge a listen first because if you start with black parade your expectations will shoot thru the fucking roof. bullets and danger days can be enjoyed in any order theyre both good but i dont feel like they hook u like parade & revenge do.
the song most people cite when they talk about being instantly converted is mama. honestly fair. it slaps. for me i liked them a lot but didn’t truly get it until welcome to the black parade. 
i think the perfect introduction to the band is the revenge era videos, mostly notably i’m not ok and helena really introduce their whole aesthetic. im not okay’s video might as well be the poster child for the emo movement and helena really plays to their mallgoth sensibilities.
if you’re a podcast person i recommend the my chemical fancast podcast, too! you dont need to be a hardcore fan to get into it. its two queer gals who love MCR talking about the history of the band and running through every song on every album. they talk about the concepts behind the albums (every album has a story, with danger days even having a comic that goes with it) and they tell you about some of the whack ass shit the band did when recording. i looked it up when i was first getting back into my chem, because i felt out of touch with the fandom and wanted to get back to where i was when i was younger.
but yeah lol listen to three cheers for sweet revenge and then just go apeshit with the discog. and watch those videos theyre so good.
