Tbh if you actually like answering early fandom questions I have like a million (btw it’s me again from the last 2)

You mentioned before that you were kind of out of the fandom by Danger Days but do you remember what the reaction was when Gerard talked about drinking again?

Did many og fans stick around or did they really turn on the band? Like I know you said bullets ppl hated revenge but did it grow on them eventually?

What did ppl think when Gerard and Lynz married???? That one I really want to know bc when I was newer in the fandom everyone kissed her ass like crazy and it seems like ppl have only recently realized she and msi aren’t the greatest.

Ok! Hey!!!! I kind of love you for all of these btw. this is gonna be LONG. SO yes, I was totally out of fandom at that point. However, I do follow a few blogs and I remember when the article was posted where he talked about his struggle with an ED and starting to drink again during DD. Personally, I was kind of. In shock? I didn't realize how much he was struggling at the end of it tbh. I think it also took a lot of older fans out a little bit too. It kind of made him a tangible human being rather than this formative icon we idolized. Saying that sounds awful. But at the beginning, because there was no social media, we had NO idea what the guys were actually like irl. They were human, obviously, but they were people we had put on a pedestal and we could project onto them, y'know? We had interviews and such, but the first glimpse we got into ~the real them~ was LOTMS, which was a highly edited version of the truth that fell into the stereotypes we kind of built. It glossed over Gerards addiction pretty rapidly. Reading his struggle at the end of MCR and DD broke my heart. This band did SO much for me, and a lot of us, but we never took into account how much it was taking from them or Gerard. That's all I can really say about it? Like I said, I wasn't in the fandom. So this was mostly my perspective. No one turned on the band. I think we just kind of grew up and started experiencing new things. Our interests change and merge as we get older. Some things I got from being an MCR fan stuck with me forever - i.e, my love of horror films and graphic novels, as well as my forever love of the guys. But the music wasn't what I needed anymore, yknow? I have diagnosed avoidant personality disorder, and severe depression as a result. My Chem helped me feel seen when I felt totally fucking invisible. It helped me form lasting friendships. I'm still friends with people I met in line to their shows in 2005, and on myspace. As I turned 19-20, my sadness started feeling more melancholy rather than anger. I listened to a lot of The National around then, and started getting seriously invested in film as a way of escapism. In regards to people hating revenge - I think a lot of people either left or stuck around for good. You can go back on old lj entries on the chemicalromance comm and read peoples reaction to Revenge songs. They hated how manufactured it sounded, hated how clean Gerards vocals were, HATED I'm Not Ok - thought it was too commercial for what they were prior. As someone who got into the via Revenge, it actually took some time to get used to the sound of Bullets! ALRIGHT. Ok. GERARD MARRYING LINDSEY. I wish I could figure out how to add a cut to tumblr now but IDK OK.  SOOO. Some background that y’all know but is needed for context. Gerard was in a LONG TERM relationship for YEARS with someone named Kat. No one has ever EVER seen her. Gerard only talked about having a girlfriend, thanked her in notes, and she is mentioned by some reporters sometimes (as goth looking). They break up. Gerard is ~technically~ single for like. a fuckin MONTH. then Eliza shit starts up (even tho she was alluding to being with him for fukin EVER). She fakes a pregnancy, they get engaged (around I Don’t Love You), shit was WILD. like BALLS TO THE WALL INSANE. I can go way way way more into this if y’all are interested just lemme know. THEY BREAK UP around the beginning of Pro Rev. Ok. OK. Within like. another fukin MONTH Gerard is seen MAKING OUT WITH LYNZ FROM FUCKIN MSI. They go to each others shows, seen holding hands ETC ETC. LIKE. THIS DUDE. This dude who had a LONG TERM GIRLFRIEND WE NEVER EVER SAW suddenly has had TWO PUBLIC RELATIONSHIPS IN THE SPAN OF NOT EVEN A YEAR.  also btw. We ALL thought he was gay, no fukin joke. Like I was saying earlier about not having any social media. We had an idea of what the guys were like from their stage personas and LOTMS. And like. Gerards Stage Persona is Loud. We thought Eliza mightve been a beard? Idk it was a weird time tbh.  BUT THEN THEN T H E N G AND L GET MARRIED????>>????? THEY HAD BEEN DATING A M ON TH. a MONTH. and they got fuckin MARRIED. The conspiracy theories, y’all, I can’t. IT WAS INSANE.  SO DUDE GETS ENGAGED TO SOMEONE, BREAKS UP, MAKES OUT WITH BASS PLAYER FROM MSI AND GETS MARRIED TO HER. ALL WITHIN T H R E E MONTHS.  goddamn.  So, ok. Last bit. Unfortunately the attitude towards language and WAS different back then. I know a lot of younger fans shit on older fans for saying so, but it WAS. It was totally different. MSI were seen as ~too cool, and their fans were pissed they went on tour with My Chem, etc. I wasn’t a fan, but I had seen them live a few times with a friend who was (not on Pro Rev). They just weren’t my thing and I hated Urines face. My friend who was actually a huge fan of BOTH msi and my chem separately was SHOCKED that G and Lindsey got together because their band and their vibes were so different. People mostly thought Lindsey was hot at the time but didn’t know anything about her, cuz again, no social media. Like, I cannot stress enough how much about these people we did not know. No one cared about their social lives or what they were like irl so we DIDN’T know how gross Urine and crew were. Like. A Huge factor as to why people were pissed and mad at Eliza was because she was making something Gerard obviously wanted to keep private into a public thing for attention and clout. Also, when he was being SO public with Lindsey it was shocking. Anyway I h8 msi.

FE: Birthright Randomised Chapters 12 and 13

(aka ‘Felicia is far too powerful. Also I broke the game again.’)

Let’s head off to Cyrkensia, shall we?

oh, but before I forget I should promote Kaden-

oohhh but to whaaaattt .... ah let’s go with Strategist

ayyyyyy >:3c and now he can use tomes!

righty hoo let’s get right into Chapter 12 and see who Kaden is!

Corrin did it ever occur to you to possibly look at a map at ANY point in your journey so far? :’D

It’s Shu r a-- Kaden is Shura ok;;

ya know what I’ll let him have this

‘actually we have two Wolfskin and I’m a dragon, and so is my son, soooo’

‘I mean most of us are, but Kagero and I sure aren’t lmao’

well he’s very good at hiding any Kitsune features-

look at how much this doesn’t fit Shura ahahahahh;;;;

yeah that means you’re lost, Shura

ya know what I realised? we literally never see Layla other than this one chapter She’s nowhere to be seen in Conquest or Revelation- unless she shows up somewhere else really obscure or smth and I’m an idiot-

yikes

You know what that means? We need disguises.

Perfect!

poor Shura

aaand there’s Elise w/ Garon

time for a cutsceeeeene

busted o<o

yeah I shouldn’t have been surprised the first time I saw this hahah

uh yeah about that Felicia you won’t get the chance

yup, he ded

ooooook let’s have a look at Shura, shall we? :o

(I accidentally deleted the first screenshot, but he hasn’t levelled up or anything since then, he just didn’t have that Hammer) huh he has capped strength ooh he also has Competitive! As well as Trample and Armour Shield! ........... he’s gonna be great as a Great Knight >:3ccccccc he has pretty bad defence though... hm. (Growths: HP - 35, Str - 25, Mag - 50, Skill - 10, Spd - 35, Lck - 50, Def - 45, Res - 40) (Heart Seal: Oni Savage and Sky Knight)

But nevertheless! Let’s get going!

..... I’m gonna get that chest-

ayyy I got a Hammer against that Great Knight :y

oooh that chest had a Dracoshield! that’s gonna be useful-

o h there’s Xander, Peri and Inigo Laslow o<o;;;;;; I’msorryInigo

oh yeah Xander still refuses to see what’s right in front of him adafghadfuhj I hate how dumb he is in the story;;;;;;;

but anyway, return of the offended scoffs from Hinata-

ok so since I can’t be assed with this chapter I’m just gonna make a beeline for the escape now that I have the chest lol

hah, that Outlaw heading over to Felicia thinking their hot shit but it’s like

mmmmbYE BITCH

oh Goddesses damn it, Xander

yeah, well ya sure live up to your morals, don’t ya

Come at me, bro well isn’t this standoff familiar

time to make like a tree I guess

hah ‘It is your destiny to face me’ yeah uhh about that you’re easier to fight than Ryoma, jsyk

oh yeah now we get some plot about the song :V

I can’t believe Kagero is freaking Dead

anyway that’s the end of Chapter 12 :o rlly short one that one, but that’s because I can’t be assed with the thin walkways and all that in that map haha

welp, let’s not waste any time getting right into chapter 13 then!

and we can also finally get Azura and whoever Scarlet is >:3ccc

the No Chill Squad will be reunited lmao

oh here comes Camilla I’m sorry, Camilla but my 3ds’ firmware doesn’t let cfw on the system so I can’t randomise Revelation until I either downgrade the system or someone finds a way past it oAo

Corrin’s little jump was pretty funny tho

same, but there’s nothing I can do about the firmware, buddy

oh it’s this shitface

that voiceline of ‘I love you too much to let you go on’ never fails to give me a chill, ngl

........... oh the memories I have in this map when I played Conquest ..... Beruka was the only one to just survive  it :’’’’’’’D

right uhh let’s go!

awww yeah and her weapon level went up, too! c:

yaaas free Heart Seal from one of the houseeeees

OH SHIT CAMILLA USED THE DRAGON VEIN- I wasn’t paying attention ;;;;;;; oh goodness, thank the sages Kagero dodged that Cavalier-

SOME KIDS GON’ DIE TONIGHT

it’s actually kinda ridiculous that a tree branch has such a high crit rate

aww I missed a crit from Hinata

time to ruin this guy’s day

it’s too bad he isn’t dead yet-

ooooh Setsuna’s leve 20! I’ll need to promote her after this chapter >:3c

auhdiauisd none of the armoured units by the bridge are moving and I don’t want to enter Camilla’s range just yet-

ok so I can get this guy, and then use Rinkah to change Felicia’s weapon order so she can retaliate against Camilla-

oh wait Beruka came along instead- oh well, her personal isn’t coming into play so that’s good-

oh goddesses damn it- at least Felicia has insane res

rest in pieces, Beruka I’msorryIcouldn’trandomiseRevelation

Felicia is too powerful

right, let’s deal with the rest of the enemies

I’m sorry, Severa oAo good thing I have big shield

.... I think Kaden’s exp is broken, he’s getting like, no xp from any of these enemies- I’ll have to look at his internal level :V (nah there’s nothing wrong with it, we’re probably just not supposed to have promoted these ppl so early-) (and then mess around with supports for Shura and Izana b/c they’re Corrin-sexual, so if I want any chance to get the paralogues for ‘Asugi’ and ‘Selkie’ they’re gonna have to marry themselves like Ike did that one time)

SHE CANNOT BE S T O P P E D

how could I forget someone like you, Severa, honestly (fun fact I wasn’t all too keen on Severa at first hahah;;;)

messing up knights with a freaking tree branch, nbd

aaaaand that’s that

yeah again, sorry for pretty much murdering you with Felicia there-

oh wait here comes leo ..... please don’t freeze the game again like you did in chapter 9, u little shit

ok good

Look who it iiiiiiis >:3cccc

ok but you just heard Azura’s little giggle coming from that huge suit of armour it was actually really funny-

.... ah

this time it was ‘Scarlet’ to freeze the game :V aww that means we’re gonna have to miss like, the whole cutscene of whoever she randomised into’s introduction oAo

//sigh i’ll be right back, and we’ll see if I can actually recruit Azura and whoever Scarlet is

right time to see if I actually got Azura and whoever Scarlet randomised into, and not Ryoma and another Scarlet;;;;

heck Goddesses damned class specific AI

...... I wonder if I can edit the save

ok so it.... seems to have worked o<o;;;; tho I had to look at the output file to get them, as well as make Ryoma absent from the party so we’ll see if that fucks me over later hahah

alll riiight let’s look at Azura first

ooooh, she has Reciprocity! :o (of course, her other skills aren’t randomised because I had to edit an imported Azura from my not randomised file and the output file doesn’t show what skills they’ll have ahahahhah;;;;)

but woah she’s an absolute monster :V Of course, I’ll have to see if there’s any way she can wield the Raijinto o<o;;;; (Growths: HP - 40, Str - 40, Mag - 25, Skill - 45, Spd - 35, Lck - 55, Def - 50, Res - 0) (Heart Seal: Knight and Mercenary ...... Yeah I’m gonna make her a Hero and d e s t r o y)

Right, let’s take a look at ‘Scarlet’ shall we?

Yep, Sakura now leads the Chevois resistance against Nohr :’’’D I may or may not have caught a glimpse of her name when going around the houses in Chapter 13;;;; also I forgot to raise her rank in tomes but hey I guess that’s karma for giving her a Lightning tome haha- (also her skills aren’t randomised either for the same reason as Azura) but hey! She has Bloodthirst as a personal! That couldn’t be more ooc! :’’’’’D (Growths: HP - 25, Str - 45, Mag - 15, Skill - 40, Spd - 40, Lck - 30, Def - 55, Res - 20) (Heart Seal: Archer and Oni Savage)

ok so I will Heart Seal Azura into a Hero, but I think I’m gonna at least get Seal Defence before that-

BUT! Something that I’ll do before I stop will be to promote Setsunaaa

awww yeah

so uhh, yeah o<o I’m gonna see if I can mess around a bit more with supports to get ‘Asugi’s’ paralogue because ‘Selkie’s’.... somehow worked, I think-
