Actually your society is the freaks for shooting everything that moves and burning half your "nature reserves" every year so that upperclass dandies can eat leaded pheasant. North Americans are the well adjusted ones here, your country has become a desolate suburban lawn in island form
"oh you have an allergy? sorry I harassed you for being a picky eater, I didn't realize you had a valid reason. it's good to know you're not actually a picky eater, I still get to harass those people"
"oh you have chronic pain? sorry I harassed you for being lazy, I didn't realize you had a valid reason. it's good to know you're not actually a lazy person, I still get to harass those people"
"oh you're autistic? sorry I harassed you for being weird, I didn't realize you had a valid reason. it's good to know you're not actually a weird person, I still get to harass those people"
"oh you're deaf? sorry I harassed you for ignoring me, I didn't realize you had a valid reason. you're just not actually a rude person, I still get to harass those people"
"man why does everything have to be a disorder now? I miss the old days when people would TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for being failures and it was socially exceptable for me to harass them, now I look like a jerk when I bully people for annoying me."

Reblog to have something lgbt happen to you this summer
everyone wants weird until weird is actually weird and they don’t know how to cope with that
Ok so I talked about S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W, but what about Disenchanted?
I find that when people talk about the Black Parade it's not often discussed, sadly. SO NOW I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT IT
But honestly the song is really, really good. Like how it starts off slowly and Gerard talking/singing quietly, and then picks up with the: "it was THE ROAR OF THE CROWD-" I really like that part.
The lyrics?? Excuse me??
You're just a sad song with nothing to say About a life long wait for a hospital stay And if you think that I'm wrong This never meant nothing to ya
this is one of the chiller MCR songs that you can cry yourself to sleep to, and I think that chill songs like this one, along with Cancer and Sleep, are necessary for a otherwise loud and booming album that is the Black Parade.
gotta thank Mikey for whispering "Disenchanted" in the members ears at 3am to convince them to put it on the album 🙏🏼
I love it when people tell me about me because I have no idea who I am
character playlists always should have the following:
song that is pretty accurate to the character’s story
song that doesn’t fit the character at all but i was thinking about them while listening to it on loop
song that has one or two lines accurate to the character’s story
song that just kind of is the character’s vibe
song that i desperately wish they would listen to because i personally like it
song that fits the character so well that it’s scary
unsure why this song is in the playlist but it’s so ingrained in my mind as 'part of the playlist' that it would feel weird to remove it
I love that feeling when friends/family listen to your infodumps and kinda smile and nod along and basically just engage. it makes my heart go :)
