Just saw a post that was like "genuinely glad frerard isn't shipped for the most part anymore, can you imagine if someone wrote a cheerleader!gerard x football player!frank fic?"

But the problem is, i already did that in middle school,,, so does that mean I predicted cheerleader gerard?

[patronsaintofgirls]

hey! couldn’t help but notice that you actually tagged this picture of gerard from mcrnashville as la1?? i know they’re wearing the same exact outfit and have the same exact haircut but you really should do better….

[faggot-friday]

We as a fandom are absolutely sleeping on the potential for Gerard way Tiergan au outfits

[dripping-moonlight]

well mother what the war did to my legs and to my tongue

[the-admin-behind-the-slaughter]

i thought it was fair game that i draw other tnmn men in dresses since i draw afton in dresses a lot. no coherent time period for these outfits, its all vibes based. based on what i think they'd wear. i'm unfortunatley too lazy to color this in >:P

artist notes under the cut (because its VERY LONG AND WORDY):

Izaack Gauss' getup is a reference to the dress Marilyn Monroe wore at the event with JFK. The one where she sings "Happy Birthday Mr. President". Yes that one. I imagine Gauss would be the type to like extravagant dresses, ones that literal old hollywood actresses would wear.

Steven Rudboys' dress is sort of 80s inspired with some punk elements. I thought of like, Cyndi Lauper when designing the outfit. heavily accessorized, a skirt layered in so many fabrics, i imagine the dress would be very colorful if I colored it in.

Angus Ciprianni is wearing a look that is more 60s inspired. I imagine that he'd like the fun colorful prints (which is not present here ehem ehem) and the quirky accessories and the groovy vibe the 60s had. I originally wanted to put him in the drag look that Freddy Mercury wore in the "I Want To Break Free" music video because the mustache reminded me of him but decided to go the another direction instead just because.

Francis Mosses is wearing a cheerleader outfit. I'm not going to lie I was tempted to just put him in a tiktok catboy maid outfit or something fanservice-y but that wouldn't have been original so I gave him this instead. Enough to be fanservice-y but not too much to be uncomfortable and I think he wouldn't mind playing cheerleader for funsies.

(though i think in character he'd probably prefer to wear a hoodie and sweatpants, something comfortable)

The dress is actually a spoof of Gerard Way's cheerleader outfit just modified to have the logo changed.

Could you draw a cheerleader Gerard with the Sylveon pallet please, it was one of my favourite outfits from the tour

YES!!!!!

Help me update Gerard's Wikipedia page photo!

I'm on a mission, and I need help. The primary photo on Gerard's Wikipedia page is currently this, from 2017:

It's a fine photo, but it's 7 years old. I'd very much like to update it to something more current, optimally something from the tour. Unfortunately, that hasn't gone well in the past. Several people have attempted to do just that, but the issue is that Wikipedia doesn't allow copyrighted images to be used except in extremely specific circumstances, and primary images on pages of significant people don't count. All the images people have previously tried to use (the most recent was a photo from Dallas) have been copyrighted and pulled from the Wikimedia commons, and replaced back to this one. I'd like to get it updated properly this time, but I need everyone's help.

In order to get under the Wikipedia copyright rules, the image needs to either be creative commons, public domain, explicitly permissioned, or own work. In other words, essentially, if it's not already released as creative commons, it basically needs to be an image you took yourself. I obviously don't have any, so I'm calling on the fandom.

I need photos that are:

taken either by you yourself or someone you personally know that you can seek permission from

relatively high quality and clean - photos taken on a phone are potentially okay, but they need to be decently straight on, crisp & well lit, not grainy or too dark. He needs to be framed fairly close (full body is fine, just not a tiny little mousegirl as seen from the back of the room) and facing the camera. They don't need to be looking directly at or making eye contact with the camera, but nothing from extreme angles or in profile.

semi-neutral - not of him screaming, rolling around on the floor, eating the microphone, etc. Singing & posing is good just no chaos or major upskirts.

decently representative - meaning, it looks fairly accurate to what Gerard actually looks like, so no makeup, blood, or masks. This means Sydney, Tokyo, Osaka, any shows with the clear plastic mask, the skeleton, black swan, the forehead bullet hole and WWWY (the old man night) are out. The rest of the shows are good though. I would especially love photos of the cheerleader. I would really love to make the main wiki photo cheerard.

SOMETHING YOU ARE WILLING TO RELEASE COPYRIGHT OF. Any image that goes onto Wikipedia effectively becomes creative commons when uploaded, and there is a rule specifically prohibiting the use of images that have been given "wiki permission" from their photographers - ie, the photographer says "this is okay to upload on Wikipedia but not anywhere else." That's against the rules, so you/your friend needs to be okay with the image being allowed for use by anyone forever, effectively

IF YOU HAVE A PHOTO THAT COULD WORK: DM me here or on discord. My handle is the same over there. I know there's not going to be a lot out there. Most of the best photos are copyrighted and most of what everyone has taken is chaotic, dark, grainy, etc. I know this is a longshot, which is why I'm crowdsourcing.

NOT YET ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ):

"Isn't wikipedia editable by anyone? Why are you putting yourself in charge of this and asking for people to reach out to you instead of just asking someone with the photo to upload it to wikipedia themselves?"

Yes, Wikipedia is editable by anyone who chooses. If you have an image you have taken yourself that you think will work and want to go make this change, go for it. However, unfortunately, this is a less trivial thing than it seems. As detailed above, Wikipedia's copyright rules are extremely strict, which is why previous efforts have failed. Additionally, Gerard's article is semi-protected, which means it can only be edited by a registered Wikipedia user with a certain number of days on the website. Additionally, Wikipedia is actually pretty tightly controlled. Most of Wikipedia is closely watched by experienced editors and changes to popular articles (pages about current celebrities very much count) will be reverted if they don't meet guidelines. In fact, if you go look at the talk page on Gerard's wiki right now, a lovely soul has offered a beautiful photo of the secretary to be used for the article, but it's never been updated, likely because the photo is very low quality and not very clear, and doesn't show their face well. I have some experience editing Wikipedia, and I want to use that to guide this towards being done the right way. Previous attempts to update the image that fall outside of Wikipedia's guidelines have been reverted half a dozen times and that's why we still have the image we have. If you have a photo to use and Wikipedia experience, please go swap it in yourself, I'll love you forever. However, I know that's not something a ton of people have. So I promise I'm not trying to make myself god of a Wikipedia article here - I just want to shepherd this towards getting fixed for good by making sure it's done 100% above board this time, so it sticks.

If you don't have a photo, I would appreciate a reblog. I need as many eyes as I can. I know someone out there has something that will work - help me find them!

i have never been truly satisfied with who am i. since i was a little kid ive felt more comfortable using he/him pronouns, before i even knew what gender identity and pronouns truly were. sometimes i would wake up and the first thought that crossed my mind was "i really wish i was a man", those thoughts started to become less and less as the months went by, there were still there, but not as often as before.

then, i started listening to my chemical romance, and shit went downhill pretty quickly. now every day i wake up wishing i was anything except a woman, everyday i look in the mirror i can only focus on how my chest is not flat enough, everytime i see a cute guy i wish i was him.

mcr are a really great band, i love all of their music that ive listened so far in this week (yes, all of this happened in less than a week) but it has truly made my brain over function and not for the good reasons. does that mean that im gonna stop listening them? fuck no

anyways, thanks for coming to my ted talk. idk what im supposed to be, yesterday i dressed in a way that made me look quite androgynous which made me truly happy, so am i non-binary? gender fluid? trans maybe? or im really confused because im experiencing heterosexual(? thoughts regarding gerard way in the cheerleader outfit?

[long-suffering-little-spoon]

Relationship status: Single (no bitches 😔 /j)

Last thing I googled: "Gerard Way cheerleader outfit" I'm only a casual MCR fan it's just cos I needed it as a reference image for a doodle lol (also that outfit genuinely slays so hard).

I recently found myself with an influx of lovely new mutuals who I haven't had a chance to interact with much or get to know very well so I will be no pressure tagging these nine: @neilassman @hunterk1nn13 @cursedtrashmuppet @cosmik-homo @ethereal-maia @drmorrpheus @justmori @lovwren @countchoculaart Same applies for other untagged new mutuals - I'd love to get to know you, you all seem very cool!!

I went to all five nights in LA and let me tell you yes the set lists with deep cuts and demos were amazing but the best parts were the little things. Ray running over to kiss Frank on the head. Gerard and Mikey hugging and playing together. Ray bouncing around the stage with so much joy. Gerard falling to his knees for the final verse of Helena. Mikey and Ray playing with their kids on stage. Gerard dedicating teenagers to Bandit the night she came to the show. Gerard and Frank giggling over something Frank said who then refuses to repeat it when G asked him to into the mic. Ray kissing Gerard on the head. Gerard looking so happy coming out with a flamethrower dressed as a cheerleader. The pure joy coming from all of them in waves you could tell they were playing the songs they wanted to be playing. All of them hugging and bowing together at the end of the final night of tour looking so proud and happy to be back together. I will never recover from these shows

[skrillien]

ugh quarterback ray x trans cheerleader gerard.

she's the only trans girl on the cheer team and she gets shit for it, but ray won't fucking tolerate it. shuts that shit down in an instant. they're constantly sneaking kisses under the bleachers and disappearing into the janitor's closet for a quickie. ray's parents are cool so they let gerard sleep over and half the time she falls asleep with her head in his lap watching him play games. (yes, he has explained the legend of zelda timeline to her about a million times). they go on cute movie dates and walk around quaint downtowns. ray's tried to impress gerard with his guitar skills a million times but gee's already head over heels (she'll still brag to her friends about what a musical genius her boyfriend is). ray's letterman is a size too big for gee, which is why she always "forgets" to check the weather before getting dressed in the morning and then complains to him that she's cold. he always gives it to her because he can't get over how cute it is when she wears his clothes.
