I'm so glad I never got any tattoos. The things I would have gotten at numerous phases over the past fifteen years is enough to make me cringe to death. How many MCR tats from your old Gerard Way days you think you would've gotten? Admittedly, they're still my favorite band to this day, lyrically speaking are still diamonds in the rough for that genre and that era, and at some point I'll follow up my current ink with something MCR related. Only done phrases that mean something to me (so far), and I never much liked the idea of song lyrics, but "Keep Running" would fit my theme. Got "Turn Left" on my left forearm and "We Are Infinate" over my heart. Mean something to me, and are able to be hidden when necessary. No regerts (sorry, I was eating a Milky Way) and while permanent, I think tats can be a beautiful way to express yourself. But like you said, getting them young while your life is still changing is generally a bad idea, unless they're your kids name, it's good to wait a bit. Speaking on the latter, I have no intention on having kids, but should a happy accident happen, as much as I hate him I LOVE Del Rio's footprint tats on his shoulder blade, that was an awesome idea for tats whether it was his idea or a friend's or whatever. |

Did you just conflate one of my eight thousand pic bases with the presumption of a bigger phase of my day to day life? Or am I the ass backward one, and do you just really, really dig Episode III? FWIW, I liked Three Cheers just fine, but I think I missed the cutoff (thank F*CK) for that whole phase/fad. The music was just fine, but I was old enough to recognize it for what it was, which was nowhere close to ThE sOuNdTrAcK oF mY lIfE!!1 |

Not trying to sidetrack this discussion but I figured you'd enjoy this "story". I got into MCR really late, like right-after-Danger Days-came-out-late but I listened to The Black Parade after a girl in high school convinced me to try it out after years of not listening to them and loved it. Anyway, there was a point in time where I had long hair and when I saw Gerard Way with red hair during the Danger Days era, I really wanted to emulate that look. Looking back, I'm glad my mom didn't let me dye my hair as I would've looked worse than I already do. Not everyone can pull off having bright red hair but Gerard certainly did.
Back to the tattoo debate, I used to think that I wanted tattoos (The Mask of Shadows from Shadow Man on my chest/ "No Hope" on my left wrist, "No Fear" on my right) but realistically if I were to get one today, I'd get bored of it the next day and immediately regret getting it done so I probably will never get one. I think it's really cool that you got tattoos that mean something rather than just getting ink for the sake of getting ink.

As another aside, if I were to somehow find myself compelled to get tattoos now that I'm fat and in my 30s, it'd probably just be a bunch of Jonathan Larson and Stephen Sondheim and Lin Manuel Miranda verses because I'm a theatre nerd at heart and only Broadway lyrics ever leave me shook anymore.

I suppose it's really subjective anyway. I didn't really expect you to like that kind of thing at all 'tattoos.' I think it's just an older generation stereotype I have developed. I'm also well aware I'm gonna get my balls busted for that remark. Considering I've been here over a decade and still remain one of the youngest, even semi active, guys here...ehh, well maybe you won't. Kyzer, D, Schneider, and Bren aren't that old if memory serves me right. Just long in the tooth for efed standards. I am 36. I want to say that Drakz and Schneider are younger than 30 or right around there. |

So my oldest son is set to enter high school this year. We just moved back to Florida and I have a house a block from the beach. I am well off money wise so it is a pretty nice place. I came home from work today to find my son busting his nut in some 14 year old's mouth in my living room on my $2000 couch. Needless to say I was pretty pissed off. I embarrass the sh*t out of him and pretty much kicked the little chickenhead out. We are sitting down at dinner tonight talking about it, and he mentions that he got the girl to blow him because of the house we live in. Then his brother tells me that this type of thing has been happening on the regular since we got back down here. So my shady little sh*thead son has been using the fact my house is pretty much beach adjacent to get happys and have sex with pre-high school tramps. I was so pissed because this is certainly not behavior I condone or have taught him. Come to find out that is what his mother does. She uses her dad's money to attract boy toys. If he makes me a grandfather before I am 40 I will probably straight up beat the sh*t out of him. Or pay one of his redneck teenage cousins to do it.
Moral of the story, castrate your kids at an early age and don't have a promiscuous, shallow ex wife.

Danger Days is my least favorite of the four. Three Cheers all the way. Since you've listened to Black Parade, if you feel like doing some digging and seeing what I can actually do other than no show, look for an RP of mine called Sleep. Should be in the 2014 range if I remember correctly, so maybe 10 pages back? I no longer consider that my best RP to date, but it won me a world title. More importantly, though our very excitable owner will probably go cross eyed in anger at the very mention of this upcoming name, as I've said before I had plans of turning the events of that RP into a faux autobiography novel. Like a lot of us, I listen to music when I'm writing to get in the mood. When the SuperBrawl match was solidified a few weeks ahead, I started going over how I wanted the swan song RP to go. I was listening to a lot of music to try and get ideas. In Malakai's mind, he was going away forever, a grand finale, fighting through adversity and for what? Redemption? Closure because of his daughter's death? Get off on his masochistic and sadist tendencies knowing full well this was the last time he could go all out? Then "Sleep" kicked on my autoplay. What if, through all the trials and tribulations, he was just desperate to sleep forever? "Three cheers for tyranny, and my unapologetic apathy. Cause there ain't no way that I'm coming back again. And through it all, how could you cry for me? Cause I don't feel bad about it. A dream. Just sleep." I hit repeat. Again and again. That was when I started writing like a madman. I'd found my inspiration. Look at any of my RPs and you'll find MCR tidbits littered throughout all of my characters except Anna. While I don't consider that my best piece writing wise, it's the piece that I'm most proud of for...personal reasons unrelated to the fed. You'll learn a lot about Shawn the admin/person through Shawn the character's last RP. And I owe a lot of that to MCR, both the RP content and quality itself, and the growth of Shawn the person. Whew. This all started as a tat conversation and me making fun of Bren. This reply was more long-winded than I expected, and potentially written in part to antagonize Bren because the mere mention of this character makes his skin crawl, but even him hating the character, I don't think any of us long timers can knock whatever brings inspiration like THAT. We all have a piece, when you've written long enough, that just stays with you even if it isn't your best. And I'd venture that a lot of us got into the groove of writing THAT piece through music. A side note, Gerard's red hair was cool. Much better than the white hair. My hair is BLACK so if I EVER wanted to remotely think of even doing highlights I'd have to submerge my crown in bleach forever, multiple times, to even think about it. My lady friend has the right idea. She does a bunch of crazy stuff with her hair, because like me she's a diehard Class-A weeb but she's a step beyond because she changes her hair length, style, and color depending on who her next cosplay is. But as for her right idea, want to change up your hair, use a wig first to see if it's a good idea. |

Moral of the story, castrate your kids at an early age and don't have a promiscuous, shallow ex wife. Jesus. I mean, I don't know you personally or anything but despite our arguments and difficulties I get the impression that you're a pretty laid back dude. But to take advantage of what can only be called your trust, and then find out the morals you're instilling are being completely undermined by the only other person in the world who should have literally nothing but the best in mind for him?  that. I'd probably have those payments to the cousins ready just in case. Clearly not isolated. Can't say what I'd do in your case sans redneck cousins, but needless to say I'd do everything I could to negate the interaction with the bad influence. Then again, from what you've said in the past, you have tried. I don't envy you in the slightest. |

To be honest I just got my 1st tattoo last month. I'm younger than Negan so like I said earlier, I'll let y'all work my age out. know how old you are.  I think you're the only one though. |

I think I would say goth-punk boys as they are really punk singers with make-up and dyed-hair. I'm just a smart-ass though. I mean, call them whatever, really. I hate genres. They're such reductionist barriers that keep people from seeking out new things because they've got a fixed idea of what "punk" or "country" or "rap" or whatever sound like and they've decided in advance that they do or don't like that idealized sound. Like...ok, I don't listen to a lot of country, for example, but one of the artists I've really grasped on to in recent years has been Justin Townes Earle. Sure - he's got all the business in the world being classified as a country artist - his dad's a country legend, he's named in part after an even bigger country legend, and both have lent themselves to his overall influence and sound, but if I wanna show someone his stuff, I generally stop short of saying "oh, yeah, he's a country artist". I think today, when most people think country, their mind goes to that awful, awful sort of Florida Georgia Line, summer music festival, basic b*tches in straw woven stetsons brand of sh*t that seems to say the same thing over and over and over again over a different set of 3 to 5 chords with a modulation to bring it on home. JTE sounds nothing like that - his sound is very subdued, Brooklynite transplant from the south meets Grand Ole Opry, honky tonk sort of classic sound, and it's very unique and unlike what most people are doing today. Unfortunately, the genre label stuck on him will probably keep anyone who might otherwise dig what he's doing at arms length if they're already predisposed to (rightfully) hating the aforementioned sh*t people call country. That said, I will give a free pass to any genre self applied by the artist themselves, especially when it's in the vein of MC Lars "post-punk laptop rap" or (my personal favorite as of late), Lincoln Durham branding himself an "alternative rock, southern gothic, revival punk, psycho blues, americana singer, songwriter and one-man-band". It doesn't get more specific than that, and if you give him even one listen, you'll be about 30 seconds in when you realize he's spot on the mark. |

On the rare occasion that Kyzer gives us a brief glimpse into the real world shrouded behind the curtain in front of which Kyzer is presented, it blurs the line between fiction and reality even greater than before. |

Thinking on it, it's really weird 'cause I know me some people that are right f*cky, but I've never heavily based any of my characters or their cast of support on anyone I've known in particular. Most of my characters real life foundations were amalgamations of real life experiences and the like just kind of personified. Kirkbride was the result of three years dating the most intense Christian Baptist I've ever met and tagging along to all those sorts of things. I should really make a character out of the 8 months or so I spent Jane Goodalling a gaggle of goths at my first college and my biweekly trips to the ManRay, which if King Richius is any sort of proper Bostonian, ought to give him a good chuckle. |

I'm so glad I never got any tattoos. The things I would have gotten at numerous phases over the past fifteen years is enough to make me cringe to death. The best way to handle tats, is look if it's timeless. Or just how long you've liked something. My sleeve is all about time story and experience. My perspective may change and my story may alter, but that sleeves tells the first 17 years of my life. Although after I fully finish my sleeve I am getting the code of Omerta tatted on me. But, don't get tats they'll take all your money quick. |

I dont know good luck
