gerard way: pretty as a riot grrrl

[das_kabinett]

Okay, so.

Best cover ever, y/n?

My Chemical Romance doing Bikini Kill.

Imagine Gerard Way singing Rebel Girl!

When she talks, I hear the revolutions
In her hips, there's revolutions
When she walks, the revolution's coming
In her kiss, I taste the revolutionSometimes I want to do MCR as a riot grrrl band without doing a gender swap. I think

THIS WOULD COMPLETE MY LIFE.

INORITE?

SERIOUSLY. I WOULD ASK FOR THEM TO COVER THIS SONG BEFORE LIKE, ANY OTHER FANDOM DREAM EVER.

...My dream MCR cover is Let me be your dirty fucking whore by Machine Gun Fellatio. I think it would actually cause the world to explode by sheer wrongness.

Speaking MCR and riot grrl, have you read that fic where Frank is a transman, and Gerard is a giant fan of all riot grrl literature and sings in a band named after Valerie Solanas? It's an interesting read.

Yes I am too, but who am I really? and it's sequel (featuring lesbian folk singer, William Beckett and transman Pete) Remember who you are

They aren't the best fics in the world, but they're an unusual thing, I feel in fanfic in general.

[das_kabinett]

Yeah, I've read them! I actually really like them, though, as you say -- there are problems. I think that they are a fascinating take on gender issues, actually. I loved the characterization of Gerard in general, even though I think the whole William/Pete subplot thing in the sequel was oddly handled.

Mmmm, genderfuckary. So tasty.

Oh, and I remember loving the idea that you would call a feminist punk band Valerie. That is gold, srsly.

[nova_bright]

Yeah, I really enjoyed a lot of them, the way that the trans issues were handled in the fic. It rang really true. My big issue was the Pete/William subplot thing too. I was really divided on the Gerard characterisation, sometimes it was so scarily awesome, and at others I didn't feel it at all.

But yes, genderfuckery for the win. And Valerie is the perfect name for feminist punk bands. I want to actually exist!

[das_kabinett]

I think most of my issues with Gerard in that thing had to do with the Pete/William subplot, so, I sort of group all of it together?

But in all, I really enjoyed the story, especially all the trans issues. It felt really honest. I think that part of it worked fantastically.

Want to be in a feminist punk band with me and call it Valerie? I have no musical talent, but that's okay! We're punk rock! I can probably teach myself to play three chords.

Hell, if Sid Vicious could play in a punk band, than so can I.

hi, i totally followed you here from wolfshirts, because i should be studying and am of course wasting time on the internet to an extent i never thought possible instead, and i just want to say the following:

ASDFKLJASLDKFJAXCNVLKAJSDFIUASLDKFJ best idea ever!!! wow.

i kind of want to friend you, just on the basis of this and your wolfshirts idea. if you are amenable, that is.

[das_kabinett]

Yay, new friends! I am more than amenable, I am positively joyful!! I'm glad you have the same cracked out taste in what MCR should do as I do, yo.

Oh, and dude, I totally feel you on the "should be studying instead wasting time front." Not only do I screw around on the internet, I also bake when I should be working -- my friends can totes tell how much I had due by how many cupcakes I made.

currently in the oven: mexican hot chocolate cupcakes. yum.
