my first photo of dallon vs my most recent photo of dallon

[hazardsoflove]

this is so fucking depressing

[soup-is-nice-sometimes]

warning brendon mention + also excessive usage of brackets and like no punctuation/formatting except for paragraph breaks iM SORRY

sick and tired of ppl saying panic went to shit after ryan and jon left like yes it downgraded (compared to afycso my fave album from them) B U T ian (even tho he was only there for a few years) and dallon (who stayed on til 2017 oh how he put up with a lot of bs over the years) rlly kept it from tanking in those key years imo

like dallon is credited w writing most of v&v (with the exception of "nearly witches" - ryan wrote that) and all of twtltytd (is that even the album name idk i dont rlly listen to post ryan panic sorry not sorry) and he played bass not only for the end of pretty odd touring but also as part of the band til 2015 and then continued touring til 2017 (plus apparently brendon stopped him from releasing a song w 21 pilots which is actually why im writing this lmfao) like

dallons writing was on a similar level to ryans and it feels mean/unfair to reduce those albums that he did write to "shit" bc ryan wasnt there

and yes doab has a couple of bops (crazy = genius and also la devotee imo) but overall they dont cancel out what is mostly a shit album (ok yes dont threaten me w a good time is okay too but he did NOT make those high heels work good lord) esp cause there were literally none of the ogs except brendon on that)

and ofc pftw is ass if i ever hear high hopes or hey look ma i made it i actively try and leave wherever i am (they fucking played high hopes at a skate night i went to WHEN I WAS COSPLAYING RYAN ROSE VEST)

also side note fuck u brendon for continuing to play camisado after ryan left even tho it was like the one song he asked you to stop performing it cause it was rlly personal to him AND YOU DIDNT LISTEN (ofc all the songs were personal to him but camisado was one of the ones that he specifically drew on his experiences w/ his father to write)

also side note 2 imo panic died when spencer left (2013) but was temporarily revived til dallon left (2017) and brendons been dragging its corpse around for the last 6 years. and idc what anyone says the touring artists he played with do not count as panic cause no offence but like their title says theyre TOURING ARTISTS (like how dallon didnt consider himself a part of panic when he was touring w em til they asked him officially and then when he "stopped contributing creatively" - his words) like i rlly doubt ppl can name them off the top of their heads (altho theyre underappreciated for dealing w brendon)

if you've read this far PLEASE feel free to comment (? is taht what its called here) and/or reblog w ur additions/opinions im fairly open-minded abt others ideas!

7, 15, 33 (for the shipping ask game)

7. What are your top five ships of all time? this was surprisingly a tough one to answer! Lawursso, Destiel, The Doctor/Rose, Literati (Rory/Jess from Gilmore Girls), and probably Arthur/Eames (Inception)

15. What ship took a long time for you to like? depends on what constitutes as long lol because i tend to find a ship pretty quickly. i am slowly finding myself way more interested in sam/tory because the parallels between them and lawrusso are just so, so interesting and every time i see a post it's like "oh, oh, OH" y'know?

33. How many memorabilia’s do you own of your favorite fandom or ship (clothes, plushies, etc.)? my husband and i both own matching cobra kai tees (and my son was gifted an eagle fang onesie from the lovely mismsyaf when he was born and yes we did all take a matching family photo wearing them) if we're counting bandom: 3 MCR vinyls, 3 MCR custom art prints, 1 MCR shirt from the reunion tour, 3 FOB shirts (2 of them are tour shirts), 1 FOB laptop sticker, 2 FOB vinyls, the magic 8 ball from (tour)dust, 4 PATD vinyls, 1 PATD shirt from the DOAB tour, 2 PATD laptop stickers and i am probably forgetting some things.

shipping and fandom asks!

have the worst guilt about giving away my doab tour tapestry my dad got for me when we went together in 2016. i could sob about it everyday if i remember it

[urie]

do you mind going more in depth about why you don’t like dallon weekes

sure

besides in general being boring and a bit of a wet blanket, which i guess isnt a crime necessarily, dallon is a ridiculous narcissist

when i was 19 dallon used to check my blog all the time to see what i was saying about him. he knew i didnt like him and he would often formulate replies to posts i specifically was making about him, and post them on fb or twitter, not tagging me directly but essentially quoting my criticisms right after i'd post them

dallon recognized me at shows and directly called me out in public and at a m&g once for not liking him or making jokes about him online. at the time it felt playful or whatever but as time goes on i feel more and more like it was a display of insecurity and ego, to be so concerned by what some teenager was saying about him on the internet that he checked my blog often and felt he should respond to me publicly, or in person, about it

and im not the only person who experienced this type of shit with dallon, there was an incident way back in 2014 or 2015 where he and breezy essentially went after a group of teenage fans because they criticized them. thats the type of behavior that was normal for him at the time. he was a man in his 30s, theres no excuse

beyond all of that i think dallon is a little slimy coward. he will not and has not definitively publicly said anything truly staunchly negative about brendon, but he went back on posts from like 7 years ago to change the captions and allow people to infer he was somehow a victim

but anyone who was around during too weird or doab era will remember that dallon's behavior at that time othered him from both the fans and the rest of the band. he acts as if he was being bullied by brendon, but brendon didnt do anything to him that he didnt do to kenny or zack or dan or, previously, spencer. why is it do you think that dallon is the only person who has ever tried to imply that brendon was a bully? everyone else that has worked with him publicly, from dillon francis to every time i die to fucking TAYLOR SWIFT, has sung his praises, said he was humble and kind and gracious, and you will be hard pressed to find a fan interaction where he was rude, cruel, whatever

dallon is so obsessed with victimizing himself, when its obvious to me that he was never going to be comfortable around the guys because 1) he didnt drink and 2) he was the only one of them who was a father and had that level of responsibility and 3) he is a practicing mormon and brendon himself has very complicated and valid reasons for being against the LDS faith and how it affected him growing up. the themes brendon often wrote about were about religion, his feelings about it, whatever. there was so much religious and subsequently anti-religious themes in the music and that was inevitably going to be offputting to dallon. keep in mind this is the same person who would get upset if brendon was singing songs from the book of mormon on the bus

dallon would talk shit about brendon to fans while he was literally on tour with the band. theres recorded evidence of this. how does this dude get lauded as mature and reasonable when his actions are often so petty and immature?

dallon could not hear about an islamophobic attack without making it about himself. dallon regularly has tiptoed around homosexuality or feminism. and i dont even give too much of a shit about that because obviously i stan brendon and i recognize when people fuck up and grow or whatever, but its so funny to me that dallon gets that pass when brendon doesnt

dallon making these sideways comments about being poor or not paid enough will always annoy me too. 1) he was a touring musician, 2) brendon urie himself was not cutting his checks, fueled by ramen was, 3) he was receiving royalties off of too weird airplay and streaming and live performances (and he still is), 4) HE AND BREEZY LIVED IN BEVERLY HILLS AT THE TIME, like talk about willfully living above your means. and beyond that he got to travel the world playing music and staying in expensive hotels at no cost to him while receiving exposure for his former projects and any that he might be involved with in the future (which is how idkhow has had its level of recognition). he had adoring obsessive fans sending fanmail and gifts and he is now, years and years later, biting the hand that fed him

and its not lost on me that dallon started changing these ig captions and making these nebulous, purposefully-vague comments right when the public shift on brendon started going south for whatever reason

because hes a coward, and he knows that any issues with brendon are simply personal grievances. if he had anything on him, if brendon was truly this evil guy who did him direct harm, you know he'd fucking say so, but he wont

he is an ungrateful narcissist who wants to be the victim sooo bad, sorry a bunch of guys in the band were messing around with airsoft guns and you willingly played along, not just amongst them but on social media, as if these arent the same guys who tazed each other multiple times on camera just bc they thought it would be funny

dallon deliberately othered himself and is now quietly and surreptitiously trying to claim he was bullied without actually SAYING it. hes still getting FBR checks. notice how it isnt just panic that doesnt fuck w him anymore, its practically the entire label, including fob, people they literally toured with multiple times

just a coward. an absolute loser of a man. i thought god told you not to gossip. you fucking dick

[jewishrizahawkeye]

anytime i remember p!atd pre-pray for the wicked i get so sad because the music goes so hard but all i can think about is how brendon had probably one of the most beautiful voices and ranges ever and he ruined it by smoking and hitting a high note every night in DOAB tour and just all around not taking care of his voice… like fuck man

[thekidsare-not-alright]

I won't be saying anything else for fear of wasting energy but. the amount of people saying "they" about patd under the viva las vengeance music video. yall know he was alone for THREE ALBUMS, RIGHT?!?! THREE. THREE. EVEN IF YOURE TALKING ABOUT TOURING MEMBERS THATS A STRETCH DFJSHDSGJ like do you think THEY made the albuM!?J@#ERKFfdjksGHlkg

even wikipedia calls it a "solo project" from 2015 on i cannot

like for me it would've been right to end after DOAB. I think it's fitting that there would be an album after all the band's issues with members leaving, it would feel a little poetic to end on that note (a proper ending of sorts -- possibly a hot take, ik). but noOo. drag it through the mud for 7 more fucking years

-br*ndon ur*e fans are not welcome on this post or blog-

[rubbish78]

Hey wondering if someone knows or can link me to a post that dives into what happened between Brendon Urie and Dallon Weekes?

Like they appeared to be friends during vices & virtues and twtltrtd but then it seemed like when doab came out things just went downhill from there.

Was it because of Brendon’s growing ego, Zach, other factor? Jealously? Bad feelings after he was demoted to a touring member? (He was a official member fight me)

The dislike Brendon had for Dallon was tangible, like I could feel it in later interviews before Dallon left patd

Like what the fuck

What’s the deal?

Can you guess the day or month when they stopped being friends?

[brendonuriesaves]

godly

[aloxthefox]

I went to go see Death Of A Bachelor back in 2017, and Brendon got sick with laryngitis the week of my show. I expressed my concern to my parents that he might not be able to perform. They quickly tried to reassure me, saying that if he couldn't sing that night, the band would simply find a replacement, and we would watch them instead. And then I started panicking, because if they used a stand-in for Brendon, I wasn't going to see Panic! At The Disco, because not a single official member would be on the stage that night.

[only4youtime2dance]

These 2 are still my favorite from the DOAB tour in March 2017

[heavenlybrendon]

You said it not me!

[kngofthecloudsbackup]

“This is my favorite part of tour. And it’s because of fans just like you. They set this whole thing up. This to me is the most inspiring thing I have yet seen - this is insane because it’s just a pure display of love and equality and understanding and acceptance.”

[thevoiceofbrendonurie]

yes, yes, please sing it like this more often, thank you.
