i’ve seen a few people say that mcr are just getting back together for money and … do you really have that little faith in the boys???? first of all, i highly doubt any of them are in dire need of money right now. even if they didn’t have their own projects going on, they were in a massively successful band for 12 years and they still make money off of royalties. second of all, i truly believe that there is a far less shallow reason to reunite, and here’s why:

my chemical romance formed after 9/11, when the spirit of the country and the world was dim and in need of hope. now, in 2019, the world faces so much fear and tragedy every single day. trump’s presidency, citizens of several countries around the world are being oppressed by their governments, literal concentration camps in america, genocide, and the planet dying are only some of the examples. danger days was set in 2019, and the whole story of it is about rising up against an oppressive authoritarian government. i think they may see it as fate that they set danger days in 2019, that it was some sort of calling for their future selves to return and give the world hope again. i have a strong feeling that if the world was not in the state it is currently in, they would not have reunited. but they saw the impact their music had, how it empowered millions of people across the globe to resist the grim realities they face and rise up in unity. and they see how badly the world needs it now. besides, we know that this band has always been nothing if not authentic, so why would that suddenly change now? they know how much the world needs them, they know how desperately the world needs a goddamn savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned. they know they can be the voice to lead us.

they would not get back together if this was not something they wanted and felt was right, and i believe that with more faith than i have ever had in anything. please, believe in the boys. they know what they are doing.
