putting “lying to kids is ok” on the table immediately looks bad. but theres nuance. because kids deserve to have as much context and respect as anyone else you live with. but also. telling them that leaving doors open will make ants carry away the entire house is necessary until their brains can quantify the heating&air bill

do you ever think about how those certain type of dudebro metalheads we’re so vocally dismissive of era iii, how much they complained about how ghost wasn’t ominous or dark enough anymore and how terzo was too flamboyant,

and how tobias took all of that in and went “they’re right - something is missing - this shirt length is totally obstructing the view of my dick!” and then promptly proceeded to create the thottiest little ratman in the history of rock who fondled his bandmates on stage whilst wearing trousers he himself described as “actually just body paint”

?

because i think about it all the time

WAIT ok you know whats crazy about the gerard quote talking about joan of arc being an inspiration, specifically the part about her cutting off all her hair. Obviously this is a moment where gerard is talking about her symbolic androgyny as inspiring to him and his art but ALSO. if you think about it. Gerard like...... also cut off all his hair to the chagrin of others. Like didnt kerrang devote A FULL PAGE to the news of gerard cutting his hair for ghost of you? Everyone is weirdly protective over his long black hair. Ik it was partially to like "be" the patient but its just funny that there's this parallel between joan of arc betraying her sex so to speak and people feeling betrayed by gerards effeminate locks being cut. Like its SO funny he obviously also REALLY bumped up the uh. Other effeminate stuff after he got the crop. To compensate. Its literally a pixie cut but like people still took it as "more masculine" which is HILARIOUS yeah gerard is really butching it up

But anyway. I think its kind of cool that gerard sort of "betrayed" his identity (obv not as radically as joan of arc) by cutting his hair. I think he also did a good job of like.... not letting people think that he wasn't his good old gendery self as before, just sort of like, destroying maybe the "safer" long black hair that had become somewhat accepted as defiant but still sort of masculine in the scene. Very cool.

This means if u don't like gerards white tbp crop youre exactly the same as a medieval French villager sorry :/
