to this day the perfect transition, both musically and thematically, from drugstore perfume to get the gang together on hesalien makes me insane. Its like one long story, the loneliness and dysphoria and boredom that comes with being a teen trapped in their hometown with no escape and no prospects and then flash forwarding to your 20 year high school reunion after you ran away and found some sort of happiness and seeing how the people and the place have has only festered and rotted the connections you did feel you had, revealing itself as somewhere that was never very kind or safe for you. It's closure on that nostalgia that grows as you get older, a stark reminder that you were right to leave, and just because you miss something doesn't mean you should go back to it

#barry.txt #ppl swore for years gtgt was an mcr song but its definitely not #mcrs breakup caused a lot of this introspection and looking back but i think people just saw the title and wanted it to be about mcr #im not the first person to say this im just like #aughhhh hesitant alien you are my every thing #like the pointed transphobia from the characters in gtgt is a natural extention of the examining gerard was doing surrounding their gender-#identity and expression and probably a lot of the actual stuff they would hear from people around them esp if they were reconnecting w old-#-friends which can be...painful #i remember gerard defending this writing choice on twitter bc it was 2014 and people did Not get it #aughhh. i #aughhhhhhhh #hesitant alien the woman you are #its also a sequel to the 10 year reunion of kill all your friends gtgt and kill all ur friends are literally the same song
