Fanmix: LJ/Fandom Breakup
So all this crazy Boldthrough '07 stuff is going down, and I've seen a lot of stressing about it. In hopes of cheering you all up, here's a fun little mix of Fandom's "breakup" music with Livejournal. Note, copious amounts of humor required to enjoy this. Seriously, I did this mostly for a gag, to hopefully lift all my fellow fannish peoples spirits. Listen to the songs and laugh as you imagine some cheesy "breakup" scenario. I beg of you. DO IT FOR YOUR SANITY. Pretty please? <3
The Five Strange Stages of Breakup Grief
(Or How I Stopped Worrying About The Wank and Learned to Love Fandom)
Denial
•Crazy- Gnarls Barkley (Fandom is shocked by Strikethrough and Boldthrough ’07, wondering when everything got so crazy)
•Californication- The Red Hot Chili Peppers (Fandom doesn’t want to believe the fabrication that LJ seems to have been enacting)
•The Pot- Tool (Fandom thinks that there has to be other motivations fro LJ’s actions)
Anger
•The Warning- Nine Inch Nails (Fandom gets mad when it thinks it should’ve seen this coming)
•The Wreckoning- Boomkat (Fandom sees that LJ doesn’t give a damn anymore and is striven to action)
•Before He Cheats- Carrie Underwood (Fandom reacts in anger, claiming LJ’s disloyalty and vowing never to be tricked again)
Bargaining
•Grace Kelly- Mika (Fandom begins to wonder how LJ could ever love it like Fandom wants it to)
•Compromise- Acceptance (Fandom wishes LJ to reconsider its actions and take responsibility)
•Given Up- Linkin Park (Fandom wants LJ to take away the pain it’s feeling)
Depression
•Used To- Daughtry (Fandom reflects on its past happiness and wishes things could’ve turned out differently)
•What Hurts the Most- Rascal Flatts (Fandom deals with the pain of the breakup, wishing LJ could’ve seen that Fandom was just trying to love it)
•Either Way- Guster (Fandom wishes that LJ could’ve acted differently)
Acceptance
•Leave the Pieces- The Wreckers (Fandom realizes that it’s finally over LJ and doesn’t feel the need to cling on anymore)
•I’m Getting Over You- The Click Five (Fandom is moving on, reminded of the past but pushing forward)
•Three Ways- The Wallflowers (Fandom is released fully from its pain and is stronger as a result of what it went through)
