A srsly long answer to the Bandom Friday 5
It's time for friday5_bandom's questions.
1. Pick a boy from each of your favourite bands. What is your favourite picture of them and why?
This lolcats!Gerard is seriously my favoritest thing ever. Srsly u guys.
Sleeping Ryland! I'm new to Cobra Starship at this point, but Ryland is totally the one who's reeling me in. His little open mouth!
This picture of Andy makes me feel the love. Andy! Not always a major player in bandom, but look at his face. He's totally game.
Spencer Smith! This picture makes me grin like an idiot, because it's from this video. Jon: You wanna go smoke? And then Spencer's face. ♥ eternally.
2. Someone found an AIM log on Beckett's computer, and they're pissed. Who's it with, and what's it about?
Travis, obviously. He just found out via a Gabe-William exchange that Gabe's decided to be totally a one-man man with Ray Toro, and he is not pleased about their threesome fun times coming to an end. Toroporta power!
3. If Panic! at the Disco weren't a band, what would each of the members be doing for a living?
Ryan would go to vet school, thinking he wanted to be a pet vet, but he actually finds out he really likes all the big farm animals - horses, cows, even pigs. So he moves out to the country and sets up a large animal practice, still getting some dogs and stuff. Brendon runs a small traveling musical theater which is jokingly called Nothing Rhymes with Circus, and he meets Ryan one day while they're touring and omg it's true love (or at least so proclaims Brendon about 2 days after meeting Ryan... Ryan secretly agrees). So Ryan decides to make his vet clinic a mobile one, marries Brendon and starts touring with his not-a-circus. They pass through Chicago on the tour, and hang there for about a week, to give the actors a bit of a break, and because Spencer, Ryan's bff from high school, is living in Chicago. He's working as a social worker in the public school system. Spencer takes Brendon and Ryan out to his favorite independent coffee shop that's got great open mic nights, but it's pretty clear to Ryan that the reason Spencer takes them there is he's got the total hots for the owner of the place, a Jon Walker, who closes the mic night with a cover of "I Wanna Be Loved By You" which is pretty clearly sung directly to Spencer. The tips of Spencer's ears are red, and Ryan is just delighted (what? Ryro can totally do delight. Just very very quietly and in a monotone), and manages to do enough pushing and brilliant scheming involving many, many runs for coffee that by the end of the week, Jon and Spencer are waving goodbye to Brendon and Ryan with their arms wrapped around each other's waists. Yay!
4. Make a 5-song playlist for your bandom OTP. Why did you pick those songs?
Hmm. My OTP at the moment is Joe/Andy mpreg. Seriously, I can't have Joe/Andy without babies being involved. Ergo, my playlist of extreme cheesiness would be:
Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw - Jimmy Buffett. This is how Patrick gets Andy knocked up in the first place. Patrick really, really doesn't understand how this is possible, but. It apparently is.
Light My Fire - The Doors. This is from early on in the pregnancy, when Andy's just starting to show but insists they finish the tour. Joe is adamant that they do away with the pyrotechnics. "Damnit, Pete! Think of the baby!" Andy just rolls his eyes, but Patrick says something about it being a good idea, so. No more fire.
So Sick (Acoustic) - the Patrick Stump Live version. (having my first child...) It's actually Joe who is so sick of love songs because he loves Andy, but Andy's having Patrick's baby. And they're not even together. WTF? asks Joe of the universe. Joe wants to be Andy's baby daddy so bad. Patrick is apparently traumatized by the whole thing and tries to talk about it as little as possible. Pete really wishes he were carrying Patrick's baby and says so, and Andy only barely manages to not smack him really hard upside the head. Violence is bad for the baby. Oh, the drama.
No More Drama - Mary J. Blige. Andy declares a moratorium on band drama. It's bad for the baby, and look, he's keeping the baby, and no, he doesn't need Patrick to make an honest man of him, and no, he won't marry Joe either, and Pete, just tell Patrick how you feel already, and Jesusfuck the hormones are really getting to him so can everyone just chill the fuck out? Pete and Patrick nod, wide-eyed, and back slowly away, leaving Joe to rub Andy's feet in apology. Andy sighs and lets him, which Joe is really, really happy about.
Umbrella - Rihanna (or the Plain White T's cover). Andy eventually lets Joe stand under his umbrella, and Joe's gonna stick it out to the end. And um. Andy names the baby Ella?
5. Fashion show! Who's strutting down the runway, what are they wearing, and who's just watching?
Hmm, Project Runway AU? With first season rules, so everyone is paired with one model. (That was 1st season, right?) The competition is down to Gerard, Ryan, Pete, VickyT and Patrick. Gerard's model is Frank, and it's like having the perfect most fabulously beautiful canvas to work with. He's totally in love, but he's trying to keep it professional. Frank is too, but he's noticing it's really difficult to hide a hard-on from a guy who's frantically sewing you into your pants. Gerard fortunately gets a clue, and it's magic! Fireworks! Awesome.
Ryan's background is in costume design, and his stuff is so garish at times, but always bold. It's not too likely that he'll win, because he doesn't play to the judges. His model Brendon doesn't care at all if they don't win. He just hopes he can keep some of his outfits. Pete's model is Gabe, and that is seriously awesome and hilarious, but all Pete wants to do is hang out at Patrick's work table and hover over him and plant kisses on his cheek when he's not expecting it. VickyT's model is Spencer, and really, she's totally going to with the competition because 1. her sense of style is impeccable and 2. she has Spencer Smith as her model. Enough said.
Patrick, though. Patrick is doing all kinds of crazy creative stuff, and the judges either love it or hate it. This week's challenge has him doing something boxy and 80's looking, and Travis gives him a seriously skeptical face when Patrick starts helping him into the whole getup, but you never know what Heidi Klum will like. At least Tim didn't give him a full-on frown. Patrick has hope. If only Pete hadn't moved his work space so he now sits across from Patrick. It's so ... distracting.
I love the Friday 5.
