on this, the 11th birthday of fall out boy's esteemed fifth studio album save rock and roll, i just want to remind everyone of the one thing that never fails to Get Me about it.

there was a lot of scorn and derision about the title when it first got promoted, and fob was well aware this would happen. critics and caustic news outlets collectively scoffed about it, save rock and roll. like this four-piece from chicago, this dorky pop band, is gonna save rock and roll?

of course they missed the point, which is in the very god damn title. it's not a declarative statement. it's not a pronouncement of how we, fall out boy, saved rock and roll. it is a call to action. it is an earnest request for you, the listener, to participate in this act alongside them. it is an expression of desire to inspire creation in turn.

that's the ethos they've carried at the forefront of every creative endeavor they've undertaken since returning from hiatus. certainly that element was present before then, but save rock and roll marked the moment where they very deliberately centered that squarely in their narrative.

because fall out boy doesn't just want to save rock and roll. they want you to save rock and roll with them.

There is some great balancing force on Tumblr where everyone has to have at least one topic where their takes are absolute garbage.

zac pranking the chefs by saying "time for a secret rule, everyone go to a different station" vs zac immediately going "just kidding i'm just kidding" .5 seconds after because he respects them too much to scare them like that.......he gets it

I gotta be honest that I really thought the 911 tumblr fujos were just on the usual fandom shit but I am here to say I am sorry girlies … I was unfamiliar with 911’s game … I can report that there is real serious foreshadowing for Buck and Eddie to get together eventually

i know we keep saying tour of healing but i can't help it. kintsugi tour. tour of healing old wounds and massaging away the ache from old scars. tour of picking up those old, dusty songs that never felt like they were yours - that were released without your consent, that never felt like fall out boy, and reclaiming them, letting them crease anew into your skin. tour of taking songs once packed to bursting with spite and bitterness and teasing out the heartfelt love and forging the memories into newer, better ones. gold sealing the scalpel tracks left behind after a traumatic break. the magic 8-ball spins round and round, lands on songs never before played, songs that never logistically could be played. we beckon our friends onto the stage with us (the very same one that did the original backing vocals for chicago is so two years ago, mounting the stage 21 years later to do it again live).

you have to make weird art. you have to make things with your friends. you have to laugh and love unapologetically. you have to be unafraid to do whatever stupid, inane, insane thing makes you feel alive. if the world is always spinning and the world always feels like it's ending, maybe this is the answer. it's love. it's love. it's love.

Javert’s canon appearance, according to the brick:

He looks like a dog/wolf (“dog son of a wolf.”) He even has whiskers like a dog, snarls like a dog, scowls like a dog, etc.

He has emo bangs (“his hair concealed his forehead and fell over his eyebrows”)

He is an awful scowling hideous unpleasant bootlicking authoritarian bigot who has never had a thought in his life

Conclusion: canonically Javert is a bigoted dog with emo bangs. Therefore this is what brick-accurate Javert looks like:
