You know, I know there are people who really really despise Bob/Frank as a pairing, I do! It's just that for some reason, it's not something that I can keep in my memory for more than a few days at a time? So every single time the idea suddenly becomes really obvious, I am shocked as if it is the first time. IT'S BOB AND FRANK. HOW CAN YOU NOT

I get pairing antipathy on a general level, I do. I mean Mulder/Krycek still creeps me out all these years later, but Bob/Frank?

That reminds me I need to post a poll taking votes on what the pairing should be for my bandombigbang secret!baby for Bob story.

People like different things! WHATEVER.

[carleton97]

All Bob pairings are good pairings!

VIVA EL BOB!

[raveninthewind]

Agreed! BOB RULES!!!!

[pearl_o]

Ahahaha, I totally am. It made me go like this: DDDDDDDDDDDD:

I AM TOTALLY IRRATIONAL ON THIS SUBJECT. It is bizarre, because it's not even my favorite pairing, you know? Yet apparently I am emotional investment ahoy!

But it's so cute! With the Chihuahua and the Labrador! CUTE.

....... strangely, that picture made me WANT to write Frank/Bob, instead of deterring me. So, there's that. *g*

[pearl_o]

*grins* I know, right? That is not a persuasive argument. Just say "AWWW ADORABLE PUPPIES IN LOVE."

I don't understand Bob/Frank, but I don't hate it. I just find it squicky in the bad siblingcest kind of way.

Which is illogical, I am aware. It's just the kind of teasing, pokey-affectionate relationship they have. Also my conviction that Bob Bryar is the straightest man alive.

*shrug*

I am very much not about pairing hate, in general.

Ahahahahaha. That is beautifully hilarious, coming from you. <3

I realize not everybody can like the same things I like. But it would make things so much easier if they did!

I know it's funny coming from me! But, like. They totally have this long suffering Bob, Frank who takes flying leaps at him kind of relationship and it makes me go ":|" when people slash them because... I'm weird?

TBW are way more egalitarian about their codependency, and that's what appeals to me, I suspect. In my head Frank and Bob should be partners in crime and Bob should get things from tall shelves for Frank because otherwise Frank has to climb on the counters and then he jumps on Bob's head. It's a thing.

(I would love it if everyone liked the same things I liked! Then I would never have to read another artificially enlarged age gap Frank/Gerard story! If you want to read about some creepy older dude taking advantage of a younger, more vulnerable guy, we already have a band for that. It is called Fall Out Boy.)

Dude, the age gap between Frank/Gerard and Pete/Patrick are actually almost exactly the same, you know. It's like 4yrs/6months versus 4yrs/10months.

I stay so far away from pairing drama that I live in another WORLD, but i really don't get how you hate on Bob/Frank. They're made of, like, pranks and built up tolerance and kind of ridiculous amounts of love and silliness and ... they're ADORABLE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

[pearl_o]

I understand that some people's OTPs are strong enough that they don't like or can't read any pairings that break them up, but ... I mean, there are a half-dozen intra-MCR pairings that do the same thing, so.

[dsudis]

I know someone - I am not even making this up - who cannot slash Bob Bryar. At all, with anyone.

I manage to forget this every time I talk to her, because. WHAT?

[0nlymemories]

So there are two of us? Rock on.

[dsudis]

Yeah, dude, thelionforreal's got your back, unless I've managed to convert her with my mind powers sometime recently. :)

[0nlymemories]

I try! I wrote Bob/Gerard in an RPG! It just... Doesn't work in my head. Dude is hot like burning, but I will just cheer from the sidelines.
