Frerard CRIME

Hey gayasses.

One of my favorite subjects in the world is Frerard. Imagine two guys in a band who has shown affection in public, has kissed more then one time and made out but some fans don't believe it's somenthing.

Now imagine these two guys marrying both women and still writing songs that fit perfectly in what they lived together and also one of them confesses this in an website.

It's all about not saying it's real but making it CLEAR AS THE FUCKING WATER.

I love it.

Imagine them coming out in their seventies like: "fans, it was real! We're divorcing and getting married now" lol.

And I know it's tragic, but life is.

I'm not really expecting them to actually get together, i don't know if you guys have my thought.

I just have all the proofs to believe that sometime, somewhere they had this feeling.

Buy y'know sometimes people will judge you like you're an asshole for supporting a shipp of married people. I get it but it's not like we have something against their actual marriages (less for the kids which are all really cute) but I ALSO have my reasons to wish that they at least would go through this and do the right thing.

If you don't even think a little bit about Frerard being real or not, you've ignored;

Frank's lyrics

Important parts of my chem story.

I think it would be easier to just ignore but I can't!

And now we finally enter the subject. Who the fuck started treating us like criminals? Are we destroying their families? Don't be disgusting. I have nothing to say about this.

Gerard Way at Comic Con (2009)

oh my fucking god dude

short comic about the visual similarities of the frerard kiss and revenge cover

Ok so for the last couple days ive been ill in the head about The Black Parade as mcr's alter ego/characters and i wanted to share some thoughts i had so far :3

It doesnt align with the canon lore that we have (i didnt really use it for reference at least) so it can be viewed as some sort of an au

I dont know if im gonna give them new names that just sound similar to the names of mcr themselves, so for now i will be referring to them by the names of the band members

So far I've been thinking about the typical "chosen by fate" scenario, where the characters lives lead them through a path for a specific cause

So

Post WW2 England

5 kids under their own circumstances witness a big parade (I will be doing some research and see if it could be some kind of victory celebration parade? It's just that I'm not sure if England had those. Not that I'm aiming for historical accuracy atp it's simple curiosity)

The kids get heavily impacted by that event and carry on (ha) that memory throughout their life

Now to the specifics of the characters cus by God they all gave me a headache

Heads up: they're all british orphans lol

Frank and Bob are students/residents in a Christian orphan school, and later on in life are priests in the town church

The reason why is that they both have badges on their uniform with crosses that could be associated with christianity

(I couldn't find any info about what exactly certain design details could be referencing, so ig it's up to interpretation)

The military theme in Gerard and Mikey's costumes will be explored on later (Mikey's medal could be either The Victoria Cross or The Distinguished Flying Cross, and the symbol on Gerard's shoulder is most likely the Order Of The Garter star)

And I couldn't figure out what to do w Ray, because I'm not sure if his uniform design details reference anything specific 🤷🏾🤷🏾🤷🏾

Now, Gerard and Mikey lost their father to war, and their mother passed away when they were both very young

And after that they ended up in the same orphanage as Ray, befriending him and finding out about their shared passion for music

This doodle was made abt that specifically <3

Later on in early adulthood they decide to start a cabaret band, in which Frank and Bob both join them later, deciding to leave their priest lives behind (partially because iirc both of them kinda fanboyed their way into the band irl lol)

After receiving little recognition, the band decides to take a train to America, to try their luck there. With a lot of hope and determination

That, sadly, doesn't last for long, for the train crushes with no survivors on board

The group crawls out of the collapsed train in their no longer physical forms. Yet, even after their death, they still have a desire to move forward. And that desire, though thoughtlessly, forces them to go forward. The souls of all the other people who lost their lives to the train accident follow them, through the landscape that no longer feels like earth

They then reach the end

Walking in one by one people disappear, finding their own peace and meeting their own finish line

After it's done, The Black Parade now have officially made themselves into what they're supposed to be. Gaining a new purpose and a new sort of life

I got too poetic for my own good here I fear .. anyway

Their job now is to lead the lost and the forgotten to the afterlife

They could be referred to as some kind of a grim reaper, I guess

I'm still thinking about adding more to the story, and maybe I will change some things, but so far this is all I can share really !! I hope if you've read this far you found this entertaining .. this is all for the satisfaction of my urges so I might or might not have too much fun w it in the future :3

The story was mainly inspired by this specific post from Gerard himself, because i liked the concept a lot ..

Also

She's gonna be here as a separate character too probably...... Cus I'm self indulgent and I love the ideas bubbling in my brain

Just some pictures to help you get through your day. :)
