Every petekey truther has heard of the notorious song “Bang The Doldrums” by Fall Out Boy. It is very commonly accepted knowledge that this song is written about Mikey Way. The song’s lyrics are actually directly pulled from one of Pete’s blogs.
“Sunday, July 17, 2005
wrote you a goodbye note (you just wrote me off) on your arm when you passed out. bestfriends, exfriends- better off as lovers not the other way around. racing through the city in the back of yellow checkered cars. the takeoffs are the worst but the skin from your shoulder to your ear makes it all worth it. and im sorry the way my moods flicker on and off like old light on your porch, but i know you wouldn't have it any other way. sneaking in your window instead of out. the way you hold a cigarette cause you don't know what to do with your hands when we are sitting this close. the way the waists of pants feel better at the ankles. the way you always were my best excuse for calling in sick on everyone else. i miss you.

This particular entry was written right at the end of Warped Tour. Pete states “wrote you a goodbye note [...] on your arm when you passed out”. This can be seen in the song but slightly modified - “I wrote a goodbye note/in lipstick on your arm/when you passed out”. This addition of the word “lipstick” is significant as this makes it sound like they are talking about a girl. This entry is undeniably about Mikey, so the lyrics have been changed to seem more feminine and hetronormative. Being gay still wasn't a very accepted thing, and being in America wouldn't have helped this fact. If it got out that Pete and Mikey were in some semblance of a relationship, this would've wrecked both their careers and possibly the entire band.
Pete also wrote on his LiveJournal in 2005 “writing messages on your arm for someone to see at a show is the new away message”
My Chem is known, especially Gerard Way for writing words on themselves. But was Pete talking about Gerard? No, he was talking about Mikey. During Warped Tour, Mikey performed with words written on his arm twice. “EASY” and “FUCKED” featured on his arm while on stage. Surely this isn't a coincidence.
