Well, thank you!! I love Brendon lots, he's just so wretchtarded sometimes :)

Oh holy SHIT this is amazing. I love thinking about the recording dynamic since they admit how difficult it was and you just went for it here and it works so well. Brendon is wonderfully characterized here in all of his confusion and faux-jadedness and I love Ryan here, too, how he just wants Brendon to give a shit about what they're doing so that they're all on the same page.

That first fight had me slapping my hands over my mouth and whimpering oh my God into my palms because it was so vicious and this here will stick with me for a long time because it's so true to who they are and to what they've said and it hit me in all the right places because it's so very canon:

"I know we're not making the next great album of our generation, okay? I know that this is just a starting point. I know that it's probably not going to do very well, and we probably have, like, five years ahead of us before it gets any easier, before we start picking up steam. But maybe if you treat this like it is the next great album, then it'll be better in

Thank you!! The fighting was difficult to write, but really nice, actually. I'm pleased with how it came out.

Thanks again :)

I seriously loved this. Especially their dysfunctionality and how it just works for them

[theaerosolkid]

They put the fun back in "dysfunctional". Hahaha.

Thanks!!

[theaerosolkid]

I love that you were so worried about this and that everyone loves it.

I absolutely love the fighting here. I love when people are so passionate about something that at any second they could physically come to blows because that's how important this is. I love the dynamic here, because while we see how much they love each other in every interview they give it's so easy to forget how it all started, how difficult their relationship truly is. You did such a great job portraying that.

I love that you were so nice and great and helpful.

The passion is sexy, trueblue. Thanks much, for everything ♥
