...I just fucking erased my whole post.

Meh.

Bert

Born Mormon. Ex-competition gymnast. Drug addict and drinker, though some say he's cleaning up a bit now that he's with his 'fiancee'. On the fourth of July last year, his ex-gf killed herself, and his unborn kid, with an overdose. Bert and Quinn had a Thing for quite a while--Bert says that the moment he saw Quinn he knew he'd spend the rest of his life with him, that he'd never met anyone like him before, that Quinn is deeply spiritual and he loves him. Bert quit the more rigorous aspects of making music for a while for the stated reason that he wanted to "work on his relationship with Quinn". They have a song, Blue and Yellow, and each guy is represented by a color; there's some evidence that the codes "blue" and "yellow" have been used to represent aspects of Bert and Quinn in MCR's and the Used's lyrics. Bert has a blue and yellow tattoo of a rose. Bert and Bob of MCR share what Frankie calls an "adult superpower" (and Bob calls X-rated). Bert's a fascinating ( ... )

Branden

Aww, wee little hard-as-a-rock-and-twice-as-pretty straight boy, born a Mormon in Orem. He learned drums when he was sixteen to help get over his father's suicide and put the rest of his energy into skateboarding--he owns a line that manufactures skate gear now. He shares a similar ink-style with Jepha, often wears a mohawk of some brilliant color, and has a shitload of piercings including a bridge. He has the word "Used" tattooed inside his lip. (Yeah.) Branden's sweet and mellow, but he definitely lays things on the line in interviews--"fuck this, fuck that, fuck the other thing I don't like". He's also straight-edge, never drinking, doing drugs, or smoking. He has a frightening girlfriend named Spike who likes kicking people in the balls and has more tats than he does, and recently they booted Jeph from the Sober Bus to make room for their collection of stray animals.

JephaHe was the lead singer of the group before he passed it off to Bert and went bassist--he said he choked on the words as they came out. He's got ( ... )

Goddammit. I need to make more icons.

Because - okay, seriously? I totally get the Jepha thing. His ex-girlfriend "used to date *someone*" who liked to be fucked with strap-ons! He grew a beard for purposes of revenge! That is fucking *awesome*.

Although my heart belongs to Quinn. I am totally not surprised that those were Florida cops, because - seriously, I've lived here almost my entire life, and. Yeah, not surprising.

Bert used to be a competition gymnast! I - honestly, you do not beat that in the "random facts" competition. You just don't. Although Jepha's move with the feet in the video for ATIG? Wow. Wow.

This is the place where I ask you, pretty please, for recs. Because no one is writing anything good and I've already read pablohoney's hooker AU story.

Good Used fics? Hmmmmm. Lordy. They're probably worse-written than MCR, because they're the Backstreet Boys of the two ("the ugly ones" who don't need to be well-characterized). But I'll post on my journal and ask. You can also skim through early entries in the blue&yellow comm.

I got here totally randomly, I don't even know - I was sorting through my ten million tabs, and this was one of them. I'm really sorry to show up asking stupid questions two years later, but - there's a hooker AU for The Used? Do you maybe still have the link, or the title, or anything I can use to search for it? Unfortunately pablohoney's LJ is in a language I can't even read.

Lord, I haven't had any current news for some time. :( Wish I could help you out. I'm hoping that once they're making the new DVD that more'll be on The Used Nation.

So I've been looking for random facts that didn't come from Wikipedia about The Used like these for about a month.

You own me now. Thank you! ^-^
