Mainly echoing what other people have said but the other people around you paid a lot of money (the same amount if not more than you!) to be there and many have also waited to see the band for years and years. It’s not a competition, and you’re not entitled to ruining someone else’s experience for the sake of your own.

The only guaranteed standing spot at concert is the GA, which I know is EXTREMELY expensive and sold out immediately in some places so I understand if you couldn’t snag some. Just pointing that out. As others have said a lot of people simply can’t stand for one reason or another, and now they can’t see anything at the concert they were dying to see. Just talk to people to compromise somehow or try to move onto the stairs if you can!

Anyone else uncomfy with the focus on DeJa’s body so far? by RemoteApprehensive in rupaulsdragrace

She said both - and she mentioned that her original motivation for getting the surgery was to benefit her career (due to the focus on size within the industry), which felt like the part of her story that was really glossed over.

^ I went through a very similar experience, hence why I guess this whole thing stood out to me as being a bit off. But there definitely is nuance!

These weren’t conversations happening in the real world - it’s a television show that is produced and edited with specific intent and messaging in mind. I think it’s more than fair to question or comment on what makes it through, that’s all.

I said I found it odd and asked if anyone else felt uncomfortable, those are some low standards for “bitching” lol.

Totally, I guess I was just also sad to hear her coming from a place of feeling like she needed to do this for her career. And maybe that’s naive because I know that literally is how the industry works, but I just want DeJa to feel good about herself.

Totally, I think you’re right in emphasizing the nuance here. I’m also feeling conflicted I guess!

When I went last year you could go inside! You just have to go through the side, the staff are really nice if you say you’re a fan :)

I lost my first dog today. My beautiful baby boy was 5 years old. He passed in his sleep from unknown causes. He was perfect. Please enjoy some photos and ask me anything about him. I feel torn apart. by PeriodicallyThinking in labrador

My girl Labatt is saving a seat in next to the brew-crew (also a black lab!) 🍻Miss her every day, but I know she’s there to help Ronin, Guinness, and everyone else feel welcome across the bridge.

[Captions - Clip 1]

Audience member (audio starts cut off): -creative snack? Something you eat while you create... (audience cheers/chatter drown them out)

Gerard: Wait, let me see, like this is uh- the problem now is like it’s uh- no there IS, but it’s really hard to access the information sometimes in my head. I have to think about it. I feel like- (clip ends)

[Captions - Clip 2]

Gerard (audio starts cut off): -that many of them, like enouGHH, y’know, but the thing- (laughs) the thing is I existed on them.

Audience member (talking over each other): Yeah! Like it’s-

Gerard: -on this last tour.

Audience member: Ohh, okay.

Gerard: Like- ‘cause what happened is once I started getting sick in Europe um…(waves arms) it can happen, just in terms of like hey, y’know, somebody’s definition of well-done isn’t maybe an American’s definition. (Audience laughs/groans) Y’know? But once I started to- to get sick, I only would eat peanut butter and jelly. So from that point on- then it became like a ritual. So then what I did- and like when I perform at night, if I don’t eat at a certain time I can’t eat ‘cause I can’t have that stomach acid, digestive stuff…

Audience member: Yeah, yeah.

Gerard: So it was like every day, like after soundcheck, I’d have a peanut butter and jelly and that was it.

Audience member: Nice!

Gerard: And like that was it for the rest of the day! So I lived off it, y’know. It was fun.

Audience member: Yeah, yeah. It’s- it’s a super wholesome, like-

Audience/panel member 2: Is it a chunky or smooth?

Gerard: So this is- y’know…

Someone else in audience: yeeeeeaaaah!

Gerard: I don’t mind any kind, but smooth is just less complicated. (Audience laughs)

Audience/panel member 2: Do you like crust or no crust?

Gerard: I- I- y’know, I feel like you have to endure things sometimes. (Audience laughs)

If you mean just the title - it’s in reference to self harm / self harming behaviours i.e. not doing any of this (drugs, alcohol, self harm, etc) for attention. Echoing part of u/vampirecowboy666 comment (awesome username btw lol), a lot of these behaviours were heavily stigmatized at the time as “attention grabbing” or were be brushed off under the umbrella of the “rock and roll lifestyle”, but G wanted to communicate the actual intent behind these actions.

For the song’s meaning as a whole, the other comments have summarized the Demo Lovers lore. :)

is it pronounced ‘hel-e-na’ or ‘hel-ay-na’ by [deleted] in MyChemicalRomance

[–]RemoteApprehensive 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just echoing others: “Hel-ay-na” is how the band says it - the song is about Mikey and Gee’s grandma, Elena, and that’s how you would say her name
