will you welcome your extinction in the morning rays?

"You don't be standing up there giving speeches every night..."

Just a silly video I made a while ago, ending with the most iconic yet underrated Gerard quote ever. And is it too late to be sharing swarm tour content? Because that happened two years ago already... (I'm going to cry)

Anyway I just thought it was funny to watch him take himself so seriously only for his 45 year old self to completely contradict his own statement some 15 years later lol.

gerard about control

gerard: i've talked about control over the years. yknow? um. not often because I didn't- I haven't talked much in the last 7 or 8 years except for like the concerts yknow? and um. I did like an interview with aiden gallagher from umbrella. we talked about control a lot and we're talking the about the reunion show at the shrine and I was like look I just wanna get up there and make it about the songs and just have a good fucking time with my friends and. yknow? but um. yeah I examined my own versions of that and control and stuff like that and all these shows we played over the years and be like

"raise your fist and do this" fuckin control people but its really. it's really not that. I mean it is for some people. and maybe for a time it was for me. but I spoke to somebody in europe, one of the members of this tour and they were like "dude people just want to be a part of shit" yknow? you don't have to control them. because it's not about the ego- this onstage, it's not about like "look what I made those motherfuckers do" sometimes it's about that. if I make you do really fucking stupid rad shit, but. there's a lot of that. anyway, I'm talking too long but um. that's like a really delicate way of telling you:

I am going to control you right now

My Chemical Romance in October 2022

[theyheoftheapocalypse]

marina toybina really waltzed into the my chemical romance world and proposed working on the tour herself and then got the job, proceeded to pull that cheerleader dress out in the matter of a few weeks, absolutely knocked it out of the park for the entire tour, got gerard on the new york times best dressed people of 2022, made a chainmail gown and generally was behind one of the most lifechanging events for mcr fans and trans people, is the first known public figure to use they/them for gerard way in writing, then did a podcast saying that the universe was behind all this and it was fate and destiny, and used both he/him and they/them for gerard out loud for ten whole minutes, then designed the most cunty secretary look ever and waited until several days after tour to tell us it was her. motherfucker i love her so much. welcome to the family marina

Gerard changing his vocal inflection during this line changed my LIFE
