And then there's Gerard who's a complete WHORE and just as chaotic. bro keeps moaning during songs,, finding a way/excuse to touch themself,, jumping off monitors/amps like a mad man (no wonder those jeans were ripped like that),, making the crowd scream 1,000 times,, prancing around when it was boiling HOT during the whole tour,, talking to the crowd suggestively and saying wild things,, pretending to grope themselves multiple times at the end of Mama,, jerking off their mic,, among so many other things...

like yeah there's the frerard kiss or whatever but forget that. we shouldn't boil Projekt Revolution down to just stage gay. let's look at the WHOLE picture. it was like Frank and Gerard felt like they could just do whatever the fuck they wanted bc Mikey was gone for almost all of the tour. someone online said Mikey was the one that stabilized them both and hell I believe it 😭😭

bringing what I said on Twitter to Tumblr bc I think ppl should see it. I encountered a Frerard archive that posted this segment from an interview. and in the quote retweets,, ppl were mentioning how Frank shouldn't be surprised that Gerard and him were the hottest couple. but,, if u rlly think abt it,, it makes sense why he'd be a little thrown off

as we all know,, the whole reason Frank and Gerard did stage gay was to give a huge middle finger to the rising homophobia and lack of sexual fluidity in the rock scene. not bc they had the hots for each other (contrary to popular belief). the band always did things for a reason. everything was intentional. they weren't the Messiah of all things political,, but MCR has always been abt being inclusive and encouraging others to be their true selves. they wanted to provide a safe space for anyone who went to their concerts. no matter what race,, gender,, or sexuality u were

in the face of extermination,, say fuck you

granted,, these comments I encounter tend to be old,, but in some aspects,, the bandom is still like this. sometimes,, the memes/jokes ppl make nowadays is funny. not gonna pretend it's not. I even make jokes here and there. this is not a post saying that u guys should stop shipping real ppl. u guys can ship whatever the fuck u want. do ur own thing and have fun. it's just that even tho ik WHY the shipping phenomenon exists,, I'll never get behind it

even if there's no comments,, in the back of my mind,, I'm always just like "oh,, I bet ppl see this as a frerard moment" and I click off immediately and avoid looking at anything else that's related. I wish I could look past this bc Frank and Gerard genuinely have the best friendship ever. they have so much love for each other. I want to appreciate the bond they share. but,, the extremely parasocial behavior ppl in the bandom tends to have from back in the early 2000's to even now,, throws me off completely. I'll always be reminded of frerard

most ppl who ship frerard understand and know the difference between fantasy and reality. and that's good. I'm happy to see ppl like that,, even if I don't personally fuck with shipping real ppl. (does gerardcest count?? genuine question)

i've got nothing against RPF as a whole tho,, even if most of it is just shipping. ive written some stuff years ago and even plan on writing some more in the future. they had nothing to do with shipping tho. just random stuff like the band interacting,, small fics that soley focused on gerard,, and even an x reader I never finished lmao
