at least be confused about right and wrong

HI. FIRST OF ALL, I wrote that fic last night, right, posted it at 3am and then went straight to sleep. And I woke up this morning to over twenty incredible comments and I basically haven't stopped smiling all day. You are all so wonderful, thank you. ♥ I can't even SAY how happy I am about the fact that everyone just seemed to GET everything I was

I HAVEN'T READ THIS YET BECAUSE I HAVE TO GO TO A LECTURE, BUT JUST KNOW I AM A++ EXCITED FOR THIS, OH GOODNESS.

Like, you have no idea.

omg omg omg, yes. To all of these. God, there are just so many thinky thoughts that I have about these boys and their lives and it borders on weird a little but you've so perfectly captured it with your story and this collection of lyrics. This particularly hit me in the gut:

So it's kind of like...okay, a 'fatal flaw' of love, that they've been made to be brothers instead of unrelated people who can fall in love without judgement etc.

Because, yeah. OH THEM. D:

THIS WAS FASCINATING. IF I THINK OF ANY LYRICS I WILL LET YOU KNOOOW.

HOORAY. I know I tend to over-analyse things so I'm so glad you found this interesting and everything. SO MANY THOUGHTS. Definitely bordering on weird. But as long as we're all in it together, right?

[expastic]

WE ARE SO IN IT TOGETHER.

OH HEY, I WAS LISTENING TO FALL OUT BOY ON THE WAY TO CLASS THIS MORNING AND THIS CAME UP:

Sometimes I wanna quit this all and become an accountant now
But I'm no good at math and besides the dollar is down
Plant palm trees on Lake Michigan before it gets cold
I gotta feel the wind chill again before I get old

I wanna scream 'I love you' from the top of my lungs
But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me

You can only blame your problems on the world for so long
Before it all becomes the same old song
As soon as we hit the hospital I know we're gonna leave this town
And get new passports and get get get get get out now

And now all I want to do is write a long, epic, kind of angsty story about how Nick and Joe just, like, run away. I dunno how they'd get away with it, but it's ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT. HAHA.

(I was going to make a separate post for this but MY FLIST PROBABLY WOULDN'T GET IT, AND I FIGURED YOU WOULD APPRECIATE MY ~THOUGHTS. *_* )

!!!!! WORDS CAN'T REALLY DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I WANT THIS. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. Things would just keep getting more and more intense and they'd feel more and more closed-in and pressured by everything, but unable to do anything about it because every time they tried to speak up they'd just get ignored. Eventually running away would seem like the only option so they'd just DO IT and ohgod where is this I need it now

[expastic]

I KNOW, RIGHT?

Yeah, exactly. There's just so much constant, constant pressure to be awesome and perfect. And they just. They want to be with each other and they CAN'T BE and they just want to go somewhere they can. So they leave.

IF I COULD FIGURE OUT A LOGISTICALLY POSSIBLE WAY FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, I WOULD WRITE IT. SIGH.

[likecharity]

YES. Like, the more stressful everything gets, the more they cling to each other, and then THINGS HAPPEN, which just ADDS to their need to get away. And they'd be all, idk, ~on the run~ and there'd be roadtrips and cheap motels and they'd, idk, grow facial hair and wear hats and glasses all the time so they weren't recognised. I'M SURE THERE ARE MORE LOGISTICAL PROBLEMS THAN THAT BUT IDK. IT HAS TO WORK. I WILL HELP YOU? ♥

[expastic]

S;LDK JDLJ YES.

THAT'S HOW I WAS GOING TO DO IT. I want to write this elaborate thing where they like, TAKE GARBO'S CAR OR SOMETHING and withdraw a bunch of cash from the bank so they don't need to use credit cards and stay at cheap motels and shit and try to hide for awhile. AND MAYBE THEY CALL THEIR PARENTS FROM PAYPHONES TO LET THEM KNOW THEY WEREN'T KIDNAPPED.

I feel like it has the potential to be silly but if I DO IT RIGHT it could have that perfect balance of ANGST AND ESCAPISM AND IT WON'T BE SILLY AT ALL. I JUST DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO IT. HAHA.

[likecharity]

YES YES EXACTLY. OH, except like, there's a problem because if they called their parents you KNOW they'd flip out and try and find them and probably succeed, and Joe and Nick would KNOW that would happen, so maybe they wouldn't call? Except then that's kind of OOC!! But maybe their parents have been ESPECIALLY slavedriver-like lately? Or they want to call, still, and so it tears them up inside? Or they call Kevin and swear him to secrecy! IDEK.

And Papa Jonas would be doing EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER to keep the media from finding out, but he doesn't want everything to fall apart so Kevin has to go to a few interviews and stuff alone and then the rumours start flying?!

OMG THIS WOULD BE EPIC I NEED TO STOP BEING SO EXCITED ABOUT IT. Like, I reeeally don't want to intrude, you know? But if you are really worried about writing it I would totally encourage you, discuss ideas, co-write it, anything! ♥

[expastic]

OH MY GOSH, YOU ARE NOT INTRUDING AT ALL. I AM SO EXCITED THAT YOU ARE SO EXCITED, I COULD CRY.

YEAH. Like, I want them to call home because that's just the way they ARE but if they are so fed up that they're running away in the first place? I'm not sure they'd want to. But they also wouldn't want to start a media STORM so I definitely see them leaving a NOTE for Kevin or something.

OH GOD YES, AND POOR KEVIN IS ALL ALONE.

I would definitely be up for discussing and/or co-writing!!!! :D :D :D

[likecharity]

YESSS. I think they'd let Kevin know, and Kevin would be all conflicted about telling their parents. And their parents would make up some dumb excuse like, Joe and Nick having the flu or something, to buy them some time before everything blows up? Idk.

I'm totally adding you on AIM. :) I'm likecharity6!
