it's mostly just weird

Okay, so I finally found a use for Tumblr--tracking the Mikey Way/nineteen year old model thing.

This is one of the side effects of fangirl osmosis; I never got any closer to bandom* than AIRPS, which is like, maybe a second cousin at best. However, in SGA fandom someone released a John Shepherd vid to Welcome to the Black Parade and end result--I ended up buying their albums and eventually ended up reading unholy amounts of MCR, Fallout Boy, and Panic! At the Disco (with and without !), sometimes combined with Cobra Starship, fic due to certain friends who shall remain nameless and filled my inbox with links for no particular reason, and to this day my playlists are suffering from the aftermath (Fallout Boy is the one that I cannot entirely explain though I've used the lyrics for subject lines at work before during fits of rebellion. They're the weirdest earworm music ever).

However, my total attention was engaged when [livejournal.com profile] svmadelyn told me in passing that Mikey Way had done something, which is how I not only embraced tumblr, I went to goddamn ONTD, which after the entire Britney drama days I swore to myself I would never return. Perez might have also been visited, though it causes me physical pain to admit that. I can't even explain the fascination, though part of it is assumed suffering of friends, but most of it is just this weird feeling I read this story in fanfic but I don't remember how it ends.

(* There is an unspoken time where I wrote N'Sync that was never posted anywhere. Ever. Like, three people know it exists and only [personal profile] shinetheway ever saw it, and I deliberately renamed the files so I can't even find it. I blame post-Smallville pre-QaF transition trauma or something)

Truth. I can't bear to admit I love them, except for how I can't get them out of my head.

.........what? Ok, that is much weirder than the little bits I've picked up here and there (like the similarities in the engagement rings).

Someone pointed out that MCR fandom is living a Mary Sue fic.

This Mikey Way thing is so funny to be because it contradicts every bit of Mikey Way fanon in the history of Mikey Way fanon.

I have to ask: what were you shipping in NSYNC?

I'm really curious to know. Despite being the kind of fangirl who only really flirted with bandom and occasionally read (and most of that was due to harbouring a little crush on a cute fangirl who was seriously into bandom -- the knowledge you accumulate just to hold a conversation with someone hot).
