Oh, this is FANTASTIC! This was one of the fics I was really looking forward to, and it was even better than I imagined. :D
BOB OMG BOB. SPIT FIRE. EEEEE! Aside from him being the focus (I have a special fondness for him), I love the blend of bandom. Pete and Trick and everyone, oh, and BRIAN (Rocket Roller, that's perfect!) And the bits of other MCR stuff was just brilliant - them getting ghosted and becoming the Black Parade, The Black Parade is dead, and just everryythhiiiiiing! (Bob fixing radio stuff, but of course, ugh, so fitting).
Oh, and Motorbaby is just so fucking kickass. She's awesome. Her and Bob, what a lovely image. I wasn't really expected that he was rescued after SING, but that just makes it so much cooler. Especially since he was THERE, I remember those bits of the videos, that like, he was there in both of them, only hidden. SO AWESOME.
There are just way too many bits that had me squeeing in :D and :O it just all combines to make a lovely slice of perfection. ^_____________^
Wow, I'm really flattered that you were looking forward to the story, and that it passed your expectations! I'm insecure about my summaries, so this really made my day. :D
And I love that all the details worked for you! You listed a lot of my reasons I got really into writing the story in the first place: the Bob focus, the bandom blend, the way Bob was in the background of the videos (in my head, anyway :D).
I really liked this! Especially because even though it's a happy ending, winning didn't magically fix everything. A group of psedo-anarchists forming a functional government without becoming the same as the previous regime is tricky at best, the Killjoys not being automatically forgiven for what they did just because they were brainwashed into it, people not liking that Mikey really needs the drugs they'd been fighting against for their original medical purpose... all very realistic results of a revolution like this.
Thank you! I'm glad the ending came off realistic; I don't think there's a way to write the Killjoys universe in any plausible way without making it at least a little complicated, but it can be tricky to pull off.
AGH EVERYTHING AGH. *__________* I haven't read Killjoys fic in ages so I hadn't seen genderqueer!Pony before but I loved the way you wrote hir! and oh my lord everything is just- the Black Parade and Cobras and FOB/Black Cards (and Patrick as Spotlight, of course) and Brian and just oh my goddddd. AND OF COURSE PETE HAD A PLAQUE IN NEW CHICAGO. this was super fun and suspenseful and just- yes yes yes :D
and you're totally making me want to play with Killjoysverse shit again- irl, fic, mixes, idek! so thanks so much for that too ♥
(one tiny note- in the beginning of part 3 you've spelled Bert wrong? but that was the only problem I saw!)
YOU SHOULD TOTALLY PLAY WITH KILLJOYSVERSE AGAIN OMG. :D :D :D
I don't know why it surprised me that you read this, but it did, and I was so happy I squeaked. I'm so glad you liked everything! (I can point you in the direction of a couple additional genderqueer!Pony stories, if you're interested.)
(And I spelled Bert's name wrong not just once, but twice! /o\ Thanks for pointing that out.)
