A petekey timeline theory

WARNING!!! this post is a big one so hold onto your horses (or unicorns)

aka... maybe the masterdoc was wrong *gasp*

aka we might have even less photos of pete and mikes from warped tour 2005 :(

aka a hotel in new york city

aka... you get the picture, this shit's about petekey. Big time. rise petekey nation or whatever. I've been thinking about this theory for a while and letting it stew in my brain, so here I am FINALLY making a post about it for all zero people who asked. So lets get into it.

Both the petekey masterdoc/post and video essay claim that these two photos:

of pete and mikey are from warped tour 2005...... Buuuuttt we can tell from the jacket and shirt pete's wearing along with mikeys clothes that they are pics from the party pete references in this:

ICONIC post from february 2006. Earlier, at 4 am the same day pete posted this to his Fueled By Ramen blog:

i feel like howl from howls moving castle embodies every single feeling that goes through my head. that is all. i am in the lobby of a hotel in new york city waiting for something that isn’t ever going to happen. i am calculating all of the legs and drunken stutters. i am precise. i am a machine. i am a hot mess.

- petey

we can infer that pete was at the hotel in new york because he had to travel for the party mentioned in the post and needed somewhere to stay for the night.

one thing to note is the line: "i am in the lobby of a hotel in new york city waiting for something that isn’t ever going to happen."

what are you waiting for pete? are you waiting for mikey to see you as more than just a tour fling? just a thought.

that post also sorta reminds me of this post from july 2006:

the fraternal order of the handsome boy. ive been watching you from afar. my breath on the inside window as you walk in from the carcandy caned lies in red and white against clashing patterns bending in and out of understanding. ”youre the stranger ive been dreaming of”, stranger than any ive ever known. love through a telescopic lens. when the air is clear i can see how perfect you are for me. late at night when the city sleeps i cast a spell on you to make you think of me the very same way i think of you. i only love how the words feel in my head when i write them. fireworks over the valley. how can i tell you i gut people for a living. that everything you say is likely to end up as evidence when i rewrite history. over and over again. how everything you do reminds me of something else, someone else. how i get paid to be humble and arrogant at the same time,to be chased and never caught. that i just want to stay up late and wake up early to talk to you. that i want to show you all of my jealousy and insecurity and have you not care. youre like a light switch and i just want to turn you on and watch them all shrink away. the words come out of my fingertips on impulse. it is instinct. my head cant keep up. i envy the comatose. i admire the bedridden. i am addicted to the way i feel when i think of you. ”im blowing smoke rings around the moon….” i wish i was the exact opposite of how the world knows me.

at least in terms of rhythm and the lines: it is instinct. my head cant keep up. i envy the comatose. i admire the bedridden. i am addicted to the way i feel when i think of you. ”im blowing smoke rings around the moon….” i wish i was the exact opposite of how the world knows me.

definitely parallel these lines: i am calculating all of the legs and drunken stutters. i am precise. i am a machine. i am a hot mess.

and we all know "Fraternal Order of the Handsome Boy" is about mikey because of this Q&A pete did:

Now here's where things gets interesting... the song Twin Skeletons by fall out boy is alternatively titled "Hotel in NYC" and I can literally only think of one time pete has mentioned a hotel in new york city, and that was directly before pete and mikey are confirmed to have saw eachother.

i think ya'll know where I'm going with this...

IT'S SONG ANALYSIS TIME!!! (yay)

Twin Skeletons (Hotel in NYC) lyrics (btw highlighted things are my notes):

There's a room in a hotel in New York City That shares our fate and deserves our pity I don't want to remember it all The promises I made if you just hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

My running theory with this song is that its about pete and mikey hooking up in new york after warped tour 05/when the "relationship" ended. Pete knows the relationship is over and he can't fix it even though he desperately wants to, and he doesn't want to have shitty hookups be all that is left of him and mikeys relationship

I just need enough of you to dull the pain

This lyric reminds me of this line: it’s easy to say “i only need 5 seconds with you than a lifetime with someone else” than it is to live it. to be honest, i’m dying from it. “kiss me electric” vs “kiss me at all.” and when you do it’s just a kiss off. 

from one of petes blog posts in november 2005. pete wants mikes so bad that he'll take the only kind of intimacy he can get even if its not what he truly wants aka hookups.

Just to get me through the night 'til we're twins again 'Til we're stripped down to our skeletons again 'Til we're saints just swimming in our sins again

This is a reference to the line "I'm in love with my own sins" from water buffaloes. I think this is pete reminiscing on warped tour 05 and wishing for that eternal summer back where they were immortal and the outside world couldn't touch their relationship, not even mikeys shame surrounding the relationship. in several blog post from directly after warped tour 05 and summer 2006 pete mentions missing summer and warped tour.

And there's a jet black crow droning on and on and on Up above our heads droning on and on and on

Crows represent death, maybe the death of a relationship in this case. or maybe its more complicated than that, maybe pete feels like this weird hookup thing him and mikey have going on is worse than death, but he loves mikes, he cant just leave even if it hurts. Keep making trouble 'til you find what you love I need a new partner in crime and you, you shrug

This is small but mikey is known for shrugging a lot. also pete feels heartbroken over mikey leaving and feels like he was used for mikey to figure out his sexuality.

That there's a room in a hotel in New York City That shares our fate and deserves our pity I don't want to remember it all The promises I made if you just hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

A birth and a death on the same day And honey, I only appeared so I can fade away I wanna throw my hands in the air and scream

This lyric reminds me of the line: I wanna scream "I love you" from the top of my lungs but I'm afraid that someone else will hear me

Which totally screams "i love you but if we came out it would put us both in danger due to homophobia"

And I could just die laughing on your spiral of shame

The spiral of shame is a reference to how mikey hardly ever talks about the relationship between him and pete. almost like he's shameful. its ok mikes internalized homophobia is a bitch. And there's a jet black crow droning on and on and on Up above our heads droning on and on and on Hit it, never quit it, I have been through the wreck But I can string enough to show my face in the light of day

Dealing with all this heartbreak is very difficult for pete but he still manages to keep it togeather. I also think this line could be about how petes slightly more open about the relationship than mikey even if he's still hella cryptic.

There's a room in a hotel in New York City That shares our fate and deserves our pity I don't want to remember it all The promises I made if you just hold on

Pete desperately wants mikey to stay with him, to hold on, but mikey wont. he didn't. mikey left. like he always does.

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

~*~

Not to mention that the song is literally named twin skeletons...

doesn't that remind you of the album cover of Believers Never Die?

which is litteraly a greatest hits album... "I'm sorry, every single song is about you"

does that ring a bell?

also one of the skeletons is visibly taller than the other which probably doesn't mean anything but its a thought.

Thats all I got for today, If you read all of it; congrats! and thank you for sticking around that long. it means a lot. i hope to post more theories soon so keep your eyes peeled like a banana

Listen. I'm not a petekey in the "every song pete writes is about mikey" kind of way. I'm a petekey in the sense that Pete once answered a question with this: "me and mikey are not in just one gang together, we are in two: the sweet little dudes and the fraternal order of the handsome boy. i call him the duke of handsomeness." and then went on to post THIS on livejournal on July 8th of the following year:

the fraternal order of the handsome boy.

ive been watching you from afar. my breath on the inside window as you walk in from the carcandy caned lies in red and white against clashing patterns bending in and out of understanding. ”youre the stranger ive been dreaming of”, stranger than any ive ever known. love through a telescopic lens. when the air is clear i can see how perfect you are for me. late at night when the city sleeps i cast a spell on you to make you think of me the very same way i think of you. i only love how the words feel in my head when i write them. fireworks over the valley. how can i tell you i gut people for a living. that everything you say is likely to end up as evidence when i rewrite history. over and over again. how everything you do reminds me of something else, someone else. how i get paid to be humble and arrogant at the same time,to be chased and never caught. that i just want to stay up late and wake up early to talk to you. that i want to show you all of my jealousy and insecurity and have you not care. youre like a light switch and i just want to turn you on and watch them all shrink away. the words come out of my fingertips on impulse. it is instinct. my head cant keep up. i envy the comatose. i admire the bedridden. i am addicted to the way i feel when i think of you. ”im blowing smoke rings around the moon….” i wish i was the exact opposite of how the world knows me.
