Would you please tell us some niche mcr related trivia? :)

omg ok so heres just a bunch of stuff off the top of my head, & ig how niche these are depends on how deep you are in mcr lore

-my favorite mcr fact of all time is probably mikey whispering "disenchanted" while everyone slept so it would get put on the album, it was almost cut

-2nd fav mikey moment is when he said "gerard has always been my older brother" in lotms like . yeah .

-mcr once got interviewed for an emo porn dvd in like 2003 ? and the interviewer was the girl from that "lemon stealing whores" vid. they spend the whole time talking about dnd & action figures and thats where the famous "your moms comin'!" gerard quote comes from

-frank almost drowned during the making of the ghost of you while he was in full army gear, he said he didnt get scared "until the water reached his balls", and even then he said thats when he found out he wasnt afraid of dying. the next day (?) he got his "forget me not" tattoo (which is a hand with fingers crossed sticking out of an ocean of blood)

-joe rogan is gerard & mikeys' cousin

-gerard was really good at science in school & he has a big fear of needles

-THEY LEFT RAY AT GAS STATIONS MULTIPLE TIMES

-their old tour van got pulled over a lot because police thought "my chemical romance" was a drug thing

-bullets is the only album without a parental advisory warning, but i think it has the most swearing in it? actually i think danger days might have more (but dd does have a warning)

-frank is really jealous of how good gerards voice is, even though he did nothing but drink black coffee & smoke cigarettes

-hey im in the middle of writing this and i JUST remembered that super weird fanfic set in the i dont love you (?) universe where everyone was either literally black or white and you couldnt have relationships outside your color ??? does anyone else remember that what the fuck was that. i could go on for a long time about super weird fanfictions but im just gonna leave it at this i think

-my favorite fake fact is that conspiracy that gerard locked frank in a tower at the mansion they stayed at to record the black parade ??? i think about that so often

-gerard wrote the first song, skylines and turnstiles, after seeing 9/11 while at his job as a cartoonist for cartoon network in nyc. imo the demo of that song is one of mcr's best ever made

-bob used to be the sound technician for the used, and replaced matt pelisser

-gerard went to art school in drag multiple times

-bullets was produced by geoff rickley of thursday. the original anti-piracy message of the album warned any unlawful duplication would result in "gerard coming to your house and sucking your blood" (.... promise...?)

-gerards old myspace (?) had "interests: fucking bats" listed on it, which was my desc quote for a long time LOL

-right after revenge was released, gerard described their genre as "violent pop"

-while writing this just now i rewatched the burning angel interview & gerard paints little orcs (like me!) while frank "doesnt go on quests"

-this doesnt really count as a fact but its a video of frank just being . violent that ive had saved on my computer for the last 6 years

-underoath (who i have seen, theyre so good!) supplied mcr with food, clothes, & beer during one of their first tours. they toured again together at the 2005 taste of chaos (which is a whole separate can of worms)

-bert mccracken did all the backing vocals for you know what they do to guys like us in prison
