the manifer

[blushandrecover]

My monstrosity of a Mikey/Pete manifesto/primer is finally done (AGAIN), and is up here at bandom_ships. In my heart of hearts, it's a MANIFER, because I couldn't disjoint enough to not do a lot of primer stuff, too.

your manifesto/primer is amazing! also i was reading pete's fbr journal and saw this, which definitely sounds like it's about the summer with mikey...

citing 'irreconcilable differences with myself'.
selling 50,000 records a week and i can't look in the mirror.
i am disappointed in myself.
i am disappointed in this.
and it should have been kept safe.
the reason we never told anyone is because we knew the world would ruin it. and at the end of the day it did.
the whispers never stopped.
i lied. so you lied.
and it made you crazy. and i'm sorry.
people pulled us apart. lured us. and you were my home.
it didn't matter what was said when our heads were on the sides of the pillows.
last night i dreamt it turned out differently.
i would stop this in a second and move to middle of nowhere with you and disappear.
it so hard to find someone who likes me for me and not because i am pete from fall out boy.
and i found them. and then watched it fade.
dear world, fuck you.

I've seen it used a lot in primers, but I couldn't really make the connection, tbh. Like, I get it, but a lot of people link it to an ex-girlfriend. Plus it makes it seem like they never would've talked again, and that would have made my hypotheses unfounded ;)
