some random bandom[1] questions and thoughts

[erilyn]

and yes, I have been drinking :) Oh dear, I just realised I probably don't want to sober up if I'm gonna watch Aust v England (rugby world cup) later. hmmm.

* If Pete and Patrick got divorced, would the kids have to be split up? Like Pete would get Panic and The Academy Is, and Patrick would get Gym Class Heroes and Cobra Starship?

* Is there a shortage of stories where Gerard gets fucked, or am I just imaginging things? Just seems to me, that if there's assfucking going on, he seems to be the one on top.

* I generally love the sprawling, interconnected nature of bandom, and the way writers use that in AUs is so much fun, but gratuitious use of some of the guys as baddies/evil just doesn't work for me most of the time. Particularly Gerard as an evil mastermind, because...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! Speaking of Gerard, thanks to restriction's wonderful picspams, I know have seen a photo of him playing Magic: the Gathering. Oh yes, terrify me, you creepy bad guy.

* Why no love for Ryan/Jon? Maybe I haven't explored Panic fanfic enough, but there's seems to be quite a few of any other pairing (+gsf, yay!), but not so much with the Ryan/Jon. But Jon wears Ryan's hat, which clearly = going steady!

* What is going on here? Has Mike Cardin just shown Pete a video of TAI having an orgy with Patrick that Pete wasn't invited to? click for bigger


* When was Spencer hanging out with Wesley Crusher? click for bigger


* This photo is (understandably) often posted for the Gabe/William-ness. But check out Nate's face! He's totally intrigued by this too, and I suspect would like to watch and/or participate.


[1] ha! that rhymes!

Wheee! All the best (since Australia's playing England and not NZ). I'm feeling good for your chances.

Meeep - we're leading, but it really good go either way.

LOL the Wesley Crusher picture. XD That's actually Brendon and Spencer from the set of the "Lying Is The Most Fun..." video shoot. AHAHA

I am also confounded about who people write as the bottom. I mean, Gerard and Brendon are both pretty much the bottomiest guys ever. And people always have them topping. WTF, people. Have you SEEN Brendon's ASS? I bet Gerard even bottoms when he's fucking his WIFE. Pshhhah!

LOL. I'm going to friend you! :D Then you can see my fucked up bandom fanart!

In a divorce I think there might be a bit of a battle for TAI. As I understand it, Patrick knew Bill first.

I think sadly, everyone would fight to get Patrick - even Pete.

Yes! It's v. jarring sometimes. Use fake names if you have to!

I know! Add Ryan/Spencer to the list. You would think there would be an abundance of them, but they are on the rare pairing list. I think it's official: I would read any Panic! inter-pairing.

Hah, in the divorce, Pete requests that Patrick gets him, and everyone is like "but you're splitting up, it doesn't work like that!"

There's not a heap of it, but I feel like I've read more Ryan/Spencer than Ryan/Jon. I do read Ryan/Spencer, which is surprising since normally I'm not interested in pairings (fannish or otherwise) where people have grown up together.

I'm just picturing the bands, their little faces pressed against the bus windows as the buses pull off in different directions. And there would immediately be plotting on how to reunite Pete and Patrick - the separation just isn't fair on William, Gabe and Travis, for starters ;)

*headdesk* now I'm actually *thinking* about it. Maybe not an actual splitting up of bands but like, Pete and Patrick having a ginormous fight, possibly because one or the other is getting married to someone else. FOB is on a break and Patrick is producing for one of the groups, but it's really tense in the studio because Pete and Patrick can't be in the same room so Pete makes appointments to come listen to what's been done so far and Patrick makes sure not to be there. There's a lot of "tell your producer" type of notes and it's stressing (let's say Gabe) out, and he tells Travis and William. Word spreads and suddenly the entire gang is plotting to get them back together.

Oh oh oh! I could totally see Gabe being the one keeping up everyone else's spirits, cause it's just so awkward and uncomfortable and no one knows what to do, but then one day he just loses it. And everyone's just stunned and doesn't know what to do - this is Gabe, he shouldn't be breaking down like that!

And so Operation: Reunite is born...(though no one can actually agree on the name)...

Exactly! It's probably in the contract: If Fall Out Boy ever split up, Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz III will gain full custody of one Patrick Martin Stump.

To tell you the truth, I wasn't really interested in Ryan/Spencer as a pairing until recently. I fully blame that - and my interest in Ryan/Jon also - on the recent crop of GSF fic that explores those dynamics in specific. I would like to read a more expanded exploration of those pairings than the glimpes in the GSF fic. Uhm, if that makes sense.

When I made the Ryan/Jon comment in my post, I was totally thinking about how the majority of stories I could think of about them or even Ryan/Spencer was within GSF. I love Ryan/Brendon and I love GSF (mmmm), don't get me wrong :)
