im trying my best not to think too deeply about some of the things I see on here but. they irritate me so.

can I ask why, less than ten shows from the end of the american leg of the tour, we are STILL making comments about joe and pete’s “lack of energy.” or about how they both look “bored” — or, my favorite being, “wilted flowers without any sunlight.” im not black, so I don’t really feel comfortable unpacking the racial microaggression that lies within that statement, but as someone who has struggled with substance abuse, I feel much more comfortable talking about that.

so let’s talk about pre-hiatus show “energy” for a moment.

those beloved pre-hiatus shows where both of them are wizzing around the stage, spinning around, and throwing themselves on the floor — I would bet money that a majority of those shows that joe & pete were high or drunk or some combination in between. joe was an addict (something he openly admitted to being in his book) and while I’m unsure of pete ever used the word outright, he had his own struggles with substance abuse as well.

the “energy” you so desperately crave from the boys, the kind you so desperately want back, was a result of that addiction. joe admitted that he turned to drugs and alcohol before shows as a way to deal with his crippling anxiety and imposter syndrome. and pete has openly admitted to forgetting entire shows bc he was drunk or high or something else.

while yes, the boys don’t thrash around or writhe on the floor like they used to for a variety of reasons: they’re older, joe has had multiple back surgeries for his chronic back condition — but also. they aren’t performing in a drunken, drugged haze anymore. they’re giving us all the energy and happiness that they can, while 100% SOBER.

for me, i’d happily take their sobriety over some “pre-hiatus” energy.

#think before you open your mouth people. #how can you say that they aren’t up there having the time of their life? when they are grinning from ear to ear & swinging from the dog #and doing silly little dances to make each other laugh???? #I don’t WANT that energy back. I want their energy NOW healthy and happy as they are #substance abuse cw #addiction cw #bandom bullshit #kayce’s corner.txt

I will probably write about this in more detail later. but while im on the subject of “pre-hiatus/early fob is better than post-hiatus fob” brain rot:

if you look at photos and gifs and videos of soul punk era patrick and think that was the happiest or healthiest that he has ever been. i want you to look in the mirror really closely and examine why. think about it really hard for me ok.

#im begging some of y’all to open ur eyes and read the things you type and say #maybe I’m just projecting bc. of my age and place in life and a variety of other reasons but #soul punk patrick never looked that happy to me #I saw a young man who had been torn to shreds & forced to put himself back together only to be torn to shreds again but now ON HIS OWN #& forced to smile for everyone while he did so #like. his body language during so many interviews and fan interactions. cmon y’all do you not see it #the thinly veiled bitterness and anger #bandom bullshit #kayce’s corner.txt

I don’t trust m*cr blogs that have 0 ray content

#it’s midnight and im going on an unfollowing spree #& feeling a little hateful I guess #mostly im unfollowing bc I just don’t have any interest in that particular band anymore #but I am picking up on patterns & i fucking SEE youuuuuuu #don’t let this shit breach containment or I swear to god I will blow up #kayce’s corner.txt

I’m ashamed to admit that despite being a fall out boy fan for over a decade, I do NOT own a lot of merch, so I’m definitely in need of a shirt for my show on the 25th.

I’ve narrowed it down to several options (links to sellers will be provided for anyone interested):

tttyg 20th anniversary shirt (aka the peterick tee) — owned

stump club tee by @kat-sribbles — as mayor of patrick world, this feels fitting

fall out boy is for queers! by @lionpaws

budussey shirt by byashland on etsy — is this a cringe insane choice? YES! would it be funny as hell to wear? also yes!!

NEW — GINASFS pride department tee by @darbydraws

abap “american psycho” style tee on eBay— not sure if this is official or bootleg, but the design fucks severely so

tttyg patrick feetsies shirt by @darbydraws

If you have other suggestions I’m open to them as well!! xoxo 🥰

#sorry if this is annoying but I really really cannot decide ahsjdjsjjd #I have a couple of weeks for my show but I want to order it soon so that it arrives in time!!! #kayce’s corner.txt

I mean this with hate in my heart. p*tekeys yall are so annoying

#not to mention BORING #out of all the rpf you could obsess over 😭😭😭 #(this is ignoring the fact that reducing every single song pete has ever written to a “summer fling’’ with a white man is soo racist #(and yall GENUINELY believe it to. I don’t think many of you talk about it in a jokey way) #I think ur ship is boring as hell #I don’t really care if this gets me anon hate. it’s my summer of hate #rpf shit #kayce’s corner.txt #griping n groaning //

woke up from a nap thinking of her*

(*the original incarnation of fall out boy’s seventh studio album, MANIA)

#please don’t take this to be mania slander bc. mania is a near-perfect PERFECT album to me #it’s probably my no. 3 fob album of all time!! (no.2 if you consider the ioh folie tie to be one entity) #but I can’t stop thinking about what she could have been if y&m hadn’t divided the fanbase so horrifically #I can’t help but wonder what those three songs that ended up being scrapped might have sounded like #(yknow. the ones joe worked closely on and was so excited about. the ones he talked about in his book) #and idk. it makes me so sad that the fans (fans!!!! yknow the people who are supposed to be supportive!!) reacted with such visceral #animosity and hatred that fall out boy (musicians who are well versed with rejection and public disapproval) felt the need to backtrack #regroup and REVISE an album that they had created with their little hands!!!!!! #anyway. im getting emotional #but just to be clear. if you talked shit (publically) about y&m when it came out. I kinda hate you #ignore me!!!! look away!!!!! #kayce’s corner.txt

I have a question…

#I kind of figured this was worth asking since there has been sort of a resurgence in fic lately #and also like. there are five VERY active kink blogs dedicated to bandom rn #anyway. ponder it and let me know #kayce’s corner.txt #polls #rpf shit

[newdejavuu]

fall out boy is so fucked up for making eight consistently amazing albums. bc it’s impossible to pick a favorite

#just listened to infinity on high all the way through. the choral harmonies on that thang????? insane #it had been a while. maybe a month or two?? #no joke I think my favorite fall out boy album might just be whichever one im listening to at the moment #fall out boy #fob #kayce’s corner.txt
