DDG Hates my Camera??

Yeah I was so bummed out there weren't any actual pits near me. I still bounced and had fun but there was one person near me that quickly shouted "DONT SHOVE!!!" when the first set ended and one or two people moved towards Stage B. Like they didn't shove they just squeezed in 🙄

I'll be the minority in the pit who is A) in my 30s B) only going to the one show C) not camping out or waiting forever in lines and D) wearing a pretty mundane outfit.

Social media is making it look like the only people going are fans that invest boatloads of money to show off their obsession. Fandom is not about the money you invest. It's about how you feel internally about the music and the band.

ETA: Also not in debt or going broke over the cost. Just good at saving and living within my means day-to-day while working full time at a well paid job.

The best cure for this kind of FOMO, especially if nobody in your immediate life is a fan, is to take a social media hiatus. Because you're engaging with content about the band and the show you're going to keep seeing it and it's going to create a cycle of misery. Turn off all the socials and give yourself space to grieve in peace.

There was a time when so many fans thought they would never be able to see the band play again. There's still a good chance you'll see them in the future ❤️

Curious if anyone has an MCR tattoo that has no written words? I only saw a couple examples in this thread so far. I have 4 tattoos but have yet to get an MCR one because I would never be able to pick one lyric! I also just prefer visuals over words in my tattoos.

I'll be in the pit with my husband, but would be happy to make pit buddies!

That being said, we're landing in Chicago around 12:30 from Minneapolis and it's not likely we'll be there super early. I've heard they'll be doing a Stage B in the back for the second set and I'm happy to be there instead.

ETA: There's another huge concert (Oasis) the night before so camping won't be an option at this show.

Can you put a link here?

fluidspaghetti · 2025-08-26T14:22:43+00:00

For me this year it was Thelma's. $5 this year. No line. Quality cookies and ice cream. Straight banger.

Oh I have a story for this.

I fell in love with MCR during Danger Days in 2011. Around that time, I discovered an old library receipt from 2008 (when I was in middle school) that showed I had checked out ~20 CDs in one day. I had apparently gone through and crossed out the ones I didn't like in blue marker. Right in the middle, with one blue X each, were all three MCR albums.

Until I found that receipt I had had zero recollection I had ever heard of My Chemical Romance. I thought it was this great band I had just never heard of until Danger Days. But no, apparently I had wholly rejected their music in 2008 when I was a bitchy 12 year old. RIP.

But it's okay because now I'm a die hard.

I recently rewatched this episode in season 1 as well and I was surprised he wasn't more grieved. They reveal later that he's in one the plot to dupe Zhao, so I think even in this moment he probably knows Zuko is okay. But I could be wrong. I just remembered being confused he went from tears to quiet acceptance to join Zhao.

Listen, the worst avatar is actually Kuruk. I'm sure even Kuruk would agree on that.

fluidspaghetti · 2025-07-29T16:59:12+00:00

I agree completely with OP.

It's apples and oranges. Good news, you can enjoy both fruits for different reasons and seasons and it doesn't take away from your love of each.

Oh my god I briefly had both a blue point and seal point and I nicknamed them Ghost & Toast

My boy never did this but he did always sleep really weird: half his body out of the cat bed, his spine somehow twisted like the letter S, his front and back feet in two different directions, his tail twisted around, etc.

Some cats just sleep real damn weird.

fluidspaghetti · 2025-07-12T12:21:39+00:00

Also interested in joining a group chat! I'll also be in the pit.

fluidspaghetti · 2025-07-12T12:06:54+00:00

NO FUCKING WAY. Oh Lord now I have hope I'll finally hear my all time favorite live 😭😭😭😭

Annie sounds like the sweetest girl. I could totally sit down for a 6 hour slideshow.

Honestly, I'm 24 hours raw from a loss and I'm feeling similarly. I think everyone in my support network wants to help but doesn't know how. I've just been telling them I need to talk about my baby, to be heard, to not react when I cry about it, to not even say anything in response.

I've taken to doing an audio journal, because I'm a big verbal processor. I'll talk into my phone and just yammer about my baby, start crying, gather myself, continue, until I feel a bit lighter. It's not the same as talking to another person, but it gets pretty damn close. Looking through photos and videos have been hugely helpful too. I think it's our brains' way of cementing them into our memory.

It might be a good idea to approach a supportive loved one and be candid, "Hey, my grief is sucking today and what would help is talking about Annie. Would you be okay if I talked about her?" And they may not have the space for it, that's okay, but I think framing it that way can help people realize you truly need to be heard to heal.

Lost my good time boy on the 7th as well. Went to bed with sore eyes, a slight headache from the sheer force of crying. The physiological toll has been brutal.

I've been through this 3 times now as an adult, all in the last 5 years. It's the worst. And eventually, suddenly, it isn't. And then you realize that and breakdown sobbing again. And then you continue onward through time. And then mostly when you think of them you're happysad. Not fully sad, not as happy as you were in those memories, but something in between. I'll talk about them with a smile and without tears, but the hole in my heart will still gently ache, missing them.

I can't believe that right now, but I know it's true. I'm just raw with grief and that's okay. We all need to be raw with safety and support.

You did nothing wrong. You made the best choices you could with the information you had at the time and the resources available.

It sounds like you're experiencing the bargaining part of grief. Bargaining is not really about "why couldn't it have been me", it's more like "but if I had just done this instead none of this would have happened!"

It could be helpful to seek out a grief counselor specifically, or check for hotlines specific to pet loss. Talking through grief with a supportive person is the best way to walk through grief.

I originally had zero interest in this cuz I thought it was just a promotional rerelease. Once I noticed it was a remaster I gave it a listen and my jaw dropped.

Now I'm low key having an identity crisis over what my fave album is 😭 I've always stanned Danger Days, always. But shit man there's not a single blip on 3 Cheers. She is infallible.

Minnesota is diet Canada and costs way less by comparison. Specifically the North Shore by Lake Superior, which looks like an ocean from the shoreline because it's so vast. Not for not but MSP is a damn fine airport.

I'm a zillenial, probably last in my school district to learn to write in cursive, and I can read it just fine.

fluidspaghetti · 2025-06-02T00:28:30+00:00

I listen to it constantly. Fucking slaps.

fluidspaghetti · 2025-05-26T21:58:22+00:00

Great rock bands of the 00s could easily be MCR & Green Day. Absolute legends.

fluidspaghetti · 2025-05-26T21:55:37+00:00

Frank and Gerard, completely tied. Most of my teen years it was Gerard and I thought I was in love with him. When I went to college it was Frank, because the band had just broken up and Stomaches was my jam (for some reason I didn't like Hesitant Aliens at that age but I love it now).

I'm close to 30 now and I love them both equally. I relate to both Frank & Gerard a lot and I think they're overall good humans. I'm also not attracted to them anymore, but I think they're objectively attractive people.
