Mikey Way and Pete Wentz.
Jan. 8th, 2026 12:29 pmLately, I’ve been trawling through archives of Pete’s old blogs. I don’t know if all of them are legitimately his, but god damn did that boy just spew shit out. If anyone was wondering, there’s a really good archive of his LiveJournal and Q&A posts on AO3.
Am I a petekey truther and shipper? Yeah, I guess so. I don’t ship them as adults now. Just their little baby gay selves from the 2005 Warped Tour. I mean, as notorious as Amazing New Mexico Sunset is, there’s a reason. No purely platonic person writes about their friend like that. Nobody writes about ‘my friend mikey way’ and then a few sentences later ‘totally back in love’. It only leads to one conclusion. The seemingly tenuous link between this actually seems very in-character. The theme of secrecy in their relationship was a massive thing. Being queer was still a very stigmatised thing, and this getting out could’ve wrecked their entire careers. The sheer amount of his LiveJournal posts that could be referring to Mikey is insane. He was definitely in love in 2005. It only makes sense that it was Mikey. It cannot be denied that he was in love. There were SO many posts about it. From his earlier posts, he referred to someone never named, but how he missed them and other feelings towards them. This is presumably a previous relationship. He talks about remorse and other negative emotions, but suddenly he starts talking about love in a positive light again once warped tour starts. He also mentions being gay and not liking girls in his posts too many times for it to just be a joke. He refers to Patrick and many other men as “sexy” and “attractive”, something straight men never do. He talks about kissing William Beckett’s neck. Again, not so straight Pete. In many of his Q&A posts, he talks about Mikey and references My Chem lyrics.

(Obviously, these are only my own interpretations of Pete's ramblings. Only Mikey and Pete themselves will know what truly happened in 2005. I don't claim any of this to be the truth.)
