Tired Yap Session
Jan. 7th, 2026 06:06 pmToday, I didn't work at all. I'm too tired for all this. Exams are going to creep up on me and hit me like a truck, but who cares? At least I can trust listening to Gerard Way's music to make it all seem ok. Close your eyes, turn the music up and watch the world disappear around you.
Right now, I’m watching the world pass by around me. I'm listening to Pierce The Veil and Vic has just told me "Darling, you'll be okay", and for once, I believe him. One of my friends went to see PTV last year. Wow, that feels weird to say. Last year. In reality, it was only 3 or 4 months ago. I can’t believe that 2025 is gone already. My New Year's resolution this year is to get clean. I don’t know how that’s going to happen, though. I’ve gotten better, but I don’t think it’ll ever be enough. At least I’m getting better, that has to count for something, right?
For Christmas this year, my friends did a Secret Santa. We decided that gifts aren’t always personal and seem sort of materialistic, so we did a secret notes thing instead. We just had to write a nice note about something we like about eachother. I really like the note I received.
Y’know, I just as I was thinking, Mindless Self Indulgence came on, and it reminded me of a conversation I was having earlier with my friends. We were wondering why so many music creators and other famous people turn out to be so bad. I assume you can guess that I was thinking of Jimmy Piss boy. Seriously, who names themself Urine? Euringer is a nice surname. He should’ve kept it that way. Not in his defence, but he wasn’t proven guilty. It was simply handled outside of court. To be fair, the fact that it did go to court in the first place should’ve been a massive red flag, but ok. It probably just means the person was paid off outside of court. To all you Americans out there, Trump did that. Still want him as your president? A convicted criminal, and he’s still the head of a country. I haven’t committed any crimes. When’s my promotion to ruler of a country? I digress. Back to problematic music/content creators. Because of the insane amount of horrible famous people, I’m forever terrified one of my own role models will turn out to be some kind of disgusting human. I used to be a Melanie Martinez fan a long time ago, and guess what? She turned out to be problematic.
At least as far as I can tell, my favourite band of all time, My Chemical Romance, is made of non-problematic people. Well, apart from the drummers. But we don’t mention those. Bob Bryar is all but not talked about at all in the community anymore. I guess that is a sort of respect thing, since he died 2 years ago. He’s just quietly edited out of photos. That’s kind of sad when you think about it. He spent so much of his life working on this band and was a decent drummer, but now he’s just…never talked about. I’ve never really researched into what he did, so I guess I can’t really make a proper judgment as to whether this is a valid thing to do or not. The rest of the members are all cool though, I believe. I don’t think I’d be able to pick a favourite from the 4 of them. I like them all. But not in a weird way like some fans. I don’t want to have sex with Gerard Way. That feels so wrong.
The problematic people when it comes to MCR are the fans. Definitely not all the fans, but some of the fans. Yes, we’ve all established that they are attractive, but holy hell, some of the stuff some fans say about married men with children is jaw-dropping. Some is straight-up insulting and rude. However, the member’s fights with addiction are surprisingly very respected among the community. Everyone knows that it’s not okay to use any of the pictures of Gerard passed out from his alcoholism in a joke. And if someone does, there are loads of fans in the comment section telling them the mistake they’ve made. In varying degrees of respectfulness. But I guess their hearts are in the right place.
