(It’s the emo mcr mutual here)

I’m here to say keep it up! I read em all. Emo gays gotta stick together! But I gotta say itto and puppy boy gorou hold a place in my cold black heart 🖤😂 I’d take anything you’d give me

But in all seriousness. Keep up the amazing work. I love your style and works. Keep it evil and gay

HI EMO MCR MUTUAL I LOVE SEEING U ON MY FEED thank you for reading 😭😭😭 i didnt know you had a soft spot for ittorou i havent wrote them in a while but i hope you like this one !!

itto 👹 + gorou 🐶 — unwinding after gorou is back from a mission, angst fluff + nsfw mention

one, two, three deep breaths until itto is done dragging the ointment through the ridges of his fresh wound.

the way its fresh scent fills every corner of the room the second itto opens the flask, a faint hint of mint that sits at their nostrils, an acidic undertone that stings wherever it touches.

gorou is no stranger to the feeling, yet it never fails to manifest tears that blur his vision. his sharp canines dig into his bottom lip, a miniscule amount of pressure away from severing it beyond repair.

itto takes a much needed break. he's always torn between packing it up as soon as possible, regardless of the pain gorou undergoes — or taking his time, delaying the process overall but allowing him to register it.

he's getting too used to it, more than his heart can bear. finding gorou at his door, barely standing up straight — the sight no longer has any shock value to it, but the hurt of it persists.

gorou knows it too. that's why he fights the tears to the best of his ability, to not sadden itto any further than he already has.

it's selfish. scraping all that remains of him off the floor and crawling back to itto every single time. he has his comrades resting at camp, kokomi tending to their wounds along with her own.

a general of the resistance, gorou has enough at his disposal to recover and face itto in proper shape.

but, he doesn't.

when he's seeing red and panting at every step of the way, all he needs is itto. his lungs giving out, if it's the last breath they will utter he would rather have it whispered over itto's lips.

his arm, now soiled with a wound vicious enough to almost tear it apart completely. if the day ever comes that he cant even charge a single shot with his bow — if his tired heart can't even pump blood to gush out of his wounds any longer, he would want to be with itto.

in his arms, comforted by his embrace. he powers through the stitches and bandages, finally getting his arm back, mostly numb due to the ointment (thankfully)

with the other he cups itto's cheek, unsure of how to wipe off the worried look off his face, always unsure of how to comfort him the way itto does with him.

"i'm okay." he whispers, it's silent enough for it to be heard in the dead of the night.

"you're not."

itto pulls him to his lap and holds him by the waist, slow and careful. it varies in style, this simple move that never fails to take gorou's breath away.

sometimes it's lazy and lax, early mornings where itto just wants gorou on him like a blanket as he drifts back to sleep.

sometimes it's casual, in a way of simply wanting to be together as gorou reads or itto knits.

and sometimes it's heated, lips crashing into each other, itto pulling him close as they burn up with desire. one hand on gorou's waist and the other stripping him, teasing and stroking him to his limits.

this one, however, is softer. compassionate, worried, loving yet fearful. afraid as if gorou might slip away from his touch at any moment.

afraid that one day he might collapse on itto's doorstep as always but never wake up again.

with the arm that's relatively in better shape gorou presses itto's head to his chest. he kisses at his soft, wavy hair.

itto revels in his scent, though mixed with the smell of dirt and blood it's nothing short of his gorou.

his beloved.

he brushes through his soft tail with his fingers, still damp from when he tended to it and got rid of all the knots a few minutes ago.

now it shines the way it always does, golden fur — along his back and down his thighs, albeit less thick compared to his tail and ears.

without a word, itto gets up with gorou still on his lap and heads for the bedroom. he lays gorou on his bed and watches him shrivel up into a little ball when itto settles right next to him.

with a few hisses and mumbled curses, he extends his severed arm and a leg to rest across itto's body and looks up at him.

itto's hand cards through his hair affectionately, petting his ears, peppering small kisses all over his face.

"i know... that i said i'd be more careful. i'm sorry that you have to see me like this. i'm sorry that—"

he chokes on his own words.

"—you have to be the one to take care of it every single time."

itto smiles, caressing his sides — "i wouldn't have it any other way."

he takes a deep breath.

"just... don't die on me. okay, pup?"

gorou nuzzles into the crook of his neck, sorrowful, now almost entirely on itto's body because his warmth is the only thing that's keeping him intact.

"i won't." he wraps his tail around itto and presses a kiss on his neck. "never, i promise."

The End is a very special song for me too, my sweetest boy, in ways I cannot fully describe. But there is just something about such a song as the actual beginning of an album, followed by Dead!, truly. And the line "when I grow up I want to be nothing at all" feels different now than it did when I was a nervous wreck of a youth, so tired with life I must laugh. Now it is simply a statement about my relative lack of ambition - that is, the refusal to start the grind and climb the ladder - I think I shall simply enjoy the quiet life.

I would love to hear about your favourite MCR songs, dearest! Today my most beloved one is Sleep, simply because the newest live version on youtube makes it clear that Gerard Way is a vampire haha (he acts and looks so much younger, healthier, happier, to be sure, and I am happy for him)

And to reply to the other ask, yes, you taught me so much about myself, how I love, how I want to be loved in return. Some things were eye-opening, some of them I think I already knew but couldn't describe. They also say that the best way to better oneself in the desired aspect is to start teaching someone else - I found it to be true when it comes to sports, arts and languages, but love is something you can learn too, in a way, and the rule still fits.

Meadlike drunkenness, you say? It does feel similar to me, I must say. Fitting, if I am to love a boyfaun, then the love should be bacchanal in a way, celebratory and sweet, maddening in the best way possible ❤ - HWA

oh, how truly alike we are!! my sentiments are similar— it’s always been one of my favourites. the funereal theatricality, the declarations it makes…. it’s one of the best opening songs i’ve ever heard, i clung to it something wicked in the darker days. it’s curious, isn’t it, how the meaning of a song can grow with you. that line means so much to me, too, in part for the reasons you mention!! it appealed to fourteen-year-old me for its dark wryness, and appeals now for its message of refusing to bend one’s head. i agree, the quiet life calls to us, and is best 💓 the things of the modern world are nothing compared to tea, or a deer, or sitting beneath a tree in a lover’s arms— the latter will long outlast the former. my favourite songs, oh, let me think!! i’ll list my top fifteen :) i too have a soft spot for sleep, it’s so huge and operatic. i haven’t seen that video, but i know what you mean!! his stage presence truly is immortal, almost feline— he really is a rockstar. when i saw he was covering himself in fake blood again i was thrilled. it’s wonderful to see him so well, isn’t it? i’m happy beyond words, it’s a joy to see him rocking out again, and clearly loving it. i’ll put the rest of this ask under a cut, as it’s long already— but my top fifteen mcr songs, in order by album, would be:

- vampires will never hurt you

- skylines and turnstiles

- headfirst for haloes

- you know what they do to guys like us in prison

- hang ‘em high

- it’s not a fashion statement, it’s a fucking deathwish

- i never told you what i do for a living

- the end.

- the sharpest lives

- mama

- blood

- my way home is through you

- s/c/a/r/e/c/r/o/w

- save yourself, i’ll hold them back

- mastas of ravenkroft

oh, sweetest, the way you talk!! i agree, i agree, my word, whatever souls are made of i’m quite convinced ours are the same :) it often is that teaching is learning, isn’t it? a mutual, peaceful cycle of a thing 💓 let us allow this gentle courtship to teach us, then, my darling lover, i have a feeling it shall enlighten us both. a bacchanal, yes, yes, you make me feel far dizzier and more wanting for touch than any mead ever could…. your boyfaun shall come to you crowned in leaves and laughing, so that we may lie down, and kiss, and delight one another, amid the music of the forest

hiya sophia :) 🔪🧛🏿‍♂️

hiya lj!!!! thank u for the ask :)

🔪 : do you remember the first time you listened to / heard an mcr song?

no and it saddens me. it was almost certainly whichever my chem song autoshuffled on my evanescence pandora playlist in the 5th grade. i maintain it was house of wolves but i honestly have no way of knowing for sure 😔

🧛🏿‍♂️ : what’s the most rewarding thing for you about being an mcr fan? (finding friends, experiencing shows, etc.)

ok i already answered this one but! i have more to say im a thankful person. my chem has really opened a whole new world for me creatively- both in being invested in art and in making art myself- and is definitely a huge contributing factor to pulling me out of my years-long writing slump and just. making something because i love it. appreciating good art belies good art of your own. and all the best artists pull from a lot of places that you can learn to explore. so. all the fucking cool music i listen to now is pretty fucking sweet 🤘

anyway thank u lj, my beloved mutual 💙💜

#fevers make me sappy. what can i say<3 #my posts #igottheanswer #alltheginjoints

Tigers Jaw's Charming New LP & Atlantic's Latest Cred-Carrying Imprint Are Alt-Rock's New Major Label Hopes

The beloved indie-punk band follows 2014’s ‘Charmer’ — released on scene staple Run For Cover Records — with the debut for new label Black Cement.

Tigers Jaw vocalist-guitarist Ben Walsh calls Saves the Day’s In Reverie his favorite record. The seminal New Jersey punk band’s 2003 release is best known today not for its intricate melodies — as Walsh would probably prefer — but as the prototypical punk band-screwed-over-by-major label cautionary tale. Saves the Day’s three previous albums — released through respected indies Equal Vision and Vagrant — upped the grassroots ante to the point where they seemed likely to follow like-minded bands like Jimmy Eat World and New Found Glory to major label success. The opposite happened.

“They got dropped from [Dreamworks Records] the day the record came out,” Walsh remembers. The press archives technically place it a few weeks later, but the point remains — when majors court punk bands, there’s a boom-or-bust history with a lot more Dear Yous than Dookies in its wake. It’s especially jarring to hear this from Walsh because the Scranton, Penn. band’s latest album is coming out this spring on the brand new imprint of a major record label. It’s called spin and it’s arriving May 19 on a new Atlantic Records venture dubbed Black Cement.

The shock has nothing to do with Tigers Jaw’s credentials (Charmer was actually filled with cozy harmonies) and everything to do with punk’s almost non-existent relationship with the current major-label ecosystem and its especially volatile past. “We came from a generation of bands that formed shortly after the collapse of the seedy industry, big label, big 360-deal era,” Walsh says, thinking back to Tigers Jaw’s 2005 formation. “A lot of bands did get screwed over by major labels. [Tigers Jaw] was formed with this pre-conceived caution.” Brianna Collins, Walsh’s songwriting counterpart, likens that caution to “the image you have in your mind of a major-label person wearing a suit, buying steak dinners.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG3E0SAw4uA

The duo — Walsh alongside keyboardist-vocalist Brianna Collins — was wooed by a decidedly less destructive vision of strip clubs and A-list restaurant tabs, courtesy of chief ambassador and A&R rep for Black Cement, Will Yip. For the better part of the last decade, the Philadelphia-based producer built a reputation as the amicable, accommodating guiding light behind some of the alt-rock underground’s most influential albums — Title Fight’s Hyperview, La Dispute’s Rooms of the House, Balance and Composure’s The Things We Think We’re Missing and naturally, Tigers Jaw’s previous LP, crafted after three-fifths of the band (including founding songwriter Adam McIlwee) announced plans to go their separate ways. “Charmer for us was a transitional period, but [Yip] was so consistent and so creative and helpful,” Walsh says. “So it was completely a natural thing — ‘No matter who’s putting out our next record, we want to work with Will.’”

The feeling’s mutual. “There’s a Mount Rushmore of bands that are kind of the OGs in this world,” says Yip. His etched-in-stone core four includes Tigers Jaw, plus the trio mentioned above. “When Black Cement formed, Atlantic approached me [saying] we wanna do a label with these bands… [I said] ‘You can’t do this label without some of the OGs.’” Dave Rath, head of A&R at Roadrunner Records for the past decade, had long been fascinated by Yip’s corner of the rock world and spent over two years planning Black Cement with Yip. “Other labels are running away from rock while we’re running at it,” Rath asserts. Case-in-point: Atlantic now houses what figures to be the most punk and indie rock-oriented imprint of any major label alongside the hard rock-heavy Roadrunner and the pop-rock smorgasbord Fueled By Ramen.

So Yip’s world has a Mont Rushmore, but does it even have a name? These groups are all adjacent to those commonly placed within the so-called “emo revival,” but sound nothing akin to bands like My Chemical Romance and mascara-era Fall Out Boy that the three-letter word commonly evokes. (Neither do the core “emo revival” bands, for that matter, but that’s a discussion for another day). Punk or alt-rock? Those qualifiers are less incorrect, but no more compelling. Perhaps it’s most accurate to define Tigers Jaw’s world by what it isn’t. “It’s not like Mumford & Sons, that folky alternative stuff,” Yip says. “Mainstream rock radio really isn’t true rock music to me… I love a lot of stuff that’s on the radio. I love fun. — they’re my buddies — but I don’t think of them as a rock band.”

Rock or not, the fact Yip names a band that hasn’t been active in two years is telling of the genre’s place in Top 40 in 2017. And the dearth of non-folksy guitar extends even to alternative radio. Once the playground of established bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers and Linkin Park, this week’s Alternative Songs tally features only two electric guitar-driven songs in its top 10 and a guitar-less Linkin Park song at No. 22. “Guardian,” the yearning, Walsh-fronted first single shared from spin, sounds a little like pre-major label Death Cab For Cutie (one of the few traditional alt-rock bands left on radio these days) and virtually nothing else heard on the format these days.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxat0Y-l59g

But the label is trying. Rath confirms Tigers Jaw will be worked to alternative radio and with the band’s blessing, radio mixes have been made for “Guardian” and “June,” a sunlit guitar-pop nugget that’s yet to be released, but an even better bet to catch on. It features Collins on lead vocals; though a longtime member, the keyboardist didn’t get her shine as a vocalist until she ran away with the opening verse on “Hum,” Charmer‘s most popular track. This time around, she’s writing her own songs for the first time. “I just never thought I’d be capable of that role in the band,” she says. “The experience with ‘Hum’ was what started myself thinking that maybe I could really try to do this. [spin] was the first record Ben and I did completely on our own. Tigers Jaw had always been two primary songwriters and I thought I might as well give it a go.”

Collins, like Walsh, is aware of her scene’s brushes with the mainstream and that yes, it’s sometimes clicked. Fall Out Boy and MCR were among her early influences, and she happily remembers cheering on New Found Glory on TRL. But the playing field has changed a lot since the early 2000s. Aside from guitar rock’s struggles on radio, it lags mightily behind just about every beat-driven genre in the streaming game.

These will be uphill battles, but the live stage presents particular opportunity for Tigers Jaw. The festival circuit has long been a boon for underappreciated alt acts, and last year, Lollapalooza’s lineup even featured Modern Baseball and Pinegrove, the exact sort of indie-punk bands you’d expect Tigers Jaw to share bills with. Being part of the Atlantic family opens doors, too; both Walsh and Rath float the idea of Tigers Jaw playing with Paramore, longtime Fueled By Ramen members who’d figure to be on the road soon to promote the new album they’ve been teasing.

Major label life will be a unique challenge for Tigers Jaw, but their numerous successful muses prove the scene can indeed hang in a god damn arms race. Around the same time Dreamworks obliterated Walsh’s beloved Saves the Day, it vaulted a once-failed major label band called Jimmy Eat World to stardom. But at the end of the day, Yip assures, “Tigers Jaw does not need a record label in 2017, period,” just as Walsh stresses this wasn’t “some sort of Hail Mary move to blow up the band.” Tigers Jaw has spent over a decade nurturing a grassroots fanbase; now Black Cement gets to nurture one quarter of Yip’s Mount Rushmore.

“The coolest part about this record,” says Walsh, “is that it was totally finished before we signed any deal, before we committed to any label. The record is exactly how we envisioned.”
