so my 5-year old sister is very invested in fall out boy but she only knows patrick stump by his actual name and every other member she refers to as ‘his friends’. so she’ll walk around the house asking about what he’s doing today, how he feels, and if he’s singing the song that’s currently playing (which when she asks it usually is some variation of fob or soul punk). if she sees a picture of pete she immediately says ‘patrick’s friend!’ and the same goes for andy and joe. she also told me that i wasn’t allowed to look at patrick unless she was there but i was allowed to look at his friends ‘if i wanted to’. she was also convinced on st. patrick’s day that it was in fact a day dedicated to patrick stump when she was told about the holiday.
so today coffee’s for closers was playing and she sat for the longest time and finally looked at me with the most broken face and whispered “why doesn’t patrick believe in anything…?” and proceeded to have a 5 minute existential crisis
the future of the world is bright and it’s in the hands of tiny emos
