Let 'em Know I Wasn't Crazy...

OKAY! Three days later, I'm finally going to post about Panic! at the Disco and Patrick and Foxy Shazam from Halloween. Seriously, this show was the most ridiculous and amazing thing ever. I already posted a really rambly thing on my Tumblr that I'm basically just going to c/p into this with added pictures.

The post is pretty image heavy behind the cuts so, just be aware of that. I tried to get rid of the really shitty pics but I'm not claiming my abilities as a photographer don't equate to something similar to my seven-year-old nephew's abilities to write a sonnet. Also, I tried to keep them in order, but I was alternating using my phone and camera so I make no promises. (Also, if I have your M&G pic, and you haven't gotten it yet, yell at me and I'll send you the link)

Okay. For anyone who follows me on Twitter, I’m almost sorry I bombarded you livetweeting the whole thing. But it was AWESOME.

( Foxy Shazam - mehs )

( Patrick Stump is a sassy motherfucker )

( Panic! at the Disco! Woo! (!!!!!!! for good measure) )

Then my camera completely died and my phone decided it had enough battery to tweet but not take pictures. Which is cool, it was the end anyway.

So, that's all I remember and is in no particular order. I have these weird concert blackouts where I forget everything about 15 minutes after I walk out the door, even when completely sober. Tweeting seemed to help, so there's that.

I feel ridiculously accomplished for actually remembering to post about a show. Maybe one day I'll post Travie, Black cards, MCR, Blink, and GCH pics. Probably not, but don't burst my bubble.

I should go do real work now...or at least fake it a little better.

LOVE! Hopefully, I'll remember to be around LJ more often. ♥

Title: Void & Null
Author: bootson
Bands: P!atd, MCR (TAI, Travie, CS, mentions of/appearances by nearly everyone else)
Pairings: Bob/Brendon/Spencer and permutations thereof (implied Bill/Travie, Frank/Gerard, Pete/Mikey, others)
Word Count: 39,891
Rating/Warnings: NC-17; Slavery, discussions of sex slavery (non-explicit), past physical and metal abuse, polyamory, swearing, sex (mild biting, facials, barebacking)

Summary: Six months after Brendon somehow managed to convince his new owner, Baronet Beckett, and household manager McCoy to rescue (read: buy) Spencer from a traveling sales house, Spencer is still trying to remember how "calm" and unobtrusive everyne is. It's a daily struggle that Spencer usually loses, but it's getting harder to stay guarded around this bunch, especially when they've taken to pandering to Brendon's whims and Bob's become some sort of stoic personal guard. Still yet, Spencer can't shake the lessons experience has taught him or the painful reminder that Ryan and Jon are still lost somewhere, possibly too far away to be found.

Author's Notes: This is technically a sequel to In The Back of Your Head (word count: ~10K), but you shouldn't need to read that to understand everything in this. Title is from "Void & Null" by The Pretty Reckless.

My eternal gratitude goes to pikasafire for being the only reason the prequel exists, going through this more than once to make it a million times better, and listening to me ramble about this 'verse way more than necessary. My heart goes to auctorial for not trying to kill me for my hatred of commas and also flailing enough that I didn't decide to scrap the entire thing. My darling chellealistic gets a huge "thank you" for trying to beta even though she knows next to nothing about the boys. Also, dr_jasley deserves internet hugs for listening to me ramble on and on even though she actually has no idea what happens in this fic. I'm sure I've forgotten someone who was very important during this whole process; so if I've forgotten you, I'm sorry and I still love you to pieces!
Plus, a huge "thanks" to my mixers (stardustonsable and cincodemaygirl) and artist (asmallbluedot) for creating some of the most amazing things ever to exist! They deserve all the praise the internet has to offer! Finally, lots of love to the bandombigbang mods for pulling this together, being organized, and their general awesome-ness.

So! I'm not fired, even a little bit. In case I never said that. Today, because I'm such a nice fucking person, I went to help set up for the graduate pinning ceremony even though I'm not going to be paid for it. (Like I said. Nice Person). Then my car died because I'm super smart and left my lights on. And my trunk open with the lights on. And my stereo on to blast "Helena" on repeat and super loud just because no one could tell me not to since I'm doing things for them for free. Then I came home and slept all day because I may have caught the death again. So it's been a werid saturday.

So here. Watch some things because they make me happy:



This makes me want to dance. Cobra always makes me want to dance. WHAT IS WITH THE SUDDEN NANANA Obsession, bands? Can we get some Oohs? Maybe a few Ahhs? How about a few lalalas?

Also, I wish Victoria got to sing more instead of always picking up random girls to show up in their songs (like Leighton, even though I adore Leighton). But I have a giant girl crush on Vicky-T so I just want her to do more everything, always.




I like the contrast of BIG then calm then BIG again. It's interesting. I wasn't sure how I was going to like Nate's voice with Brendon's. (Nate as in Nate Ruess. He's the lead singer for fun.). I'm actually kind of into it, though. I just has this fun (ha, pun) little feel to it. There's something about Nate's part that reminds me of a Decemberists song, but I don't know which one. And I'm a little in LOVE with the lyrics. They're interesting, even though they're sort of simple in places. Somehow it makes me melancholy and hopeful, by turns; it's an interesting feeling. It feels a little like the big climax in a movie. I don't know. I just like the song (and it's Panic, so no one is shocked lol)

I HIT OVER 10K for BBB today! That's when you take out all the not!fic parts! So yay!!!! Thank you to everyone who was super encouraging on my last post. You guys rock and you're totally going to rock your big bangs!

In honor of hitting the halfway mark and no long feeling like I'm going to fail this (even if there are AT LEAST 6 more scenes that will probably take this to around 30K if I'm not careful), I'm picspamming Panic.

I had a breakthrough where I really developed a specific setting for my big bang and now I feel super compelled to post a bunch of Vices & Virtues pics. Some are promos, some are from the Bundles they sold....

These have a purpose to ME and it'll probably make sense eventually, but it's more my need to have all my "costuming" pics in one place. ;)


( I'm only into steampunk for the clothing choices. Keep it chic, boys. )

No idea why I captioned with song lyrics, especially such random ones. Just go with it. Also, you're welcome ;)

And I should have been in bed 2 hours ago since I have a training at like 9...and therefore have to be up at 6. Oh well. Good night, kiddies! <3

I just want to ramble, so that's what I'm going to do.

1. Pete and Ashlee's break up. :( I feel really bad for all of them (Pete, Ashlee, Bronx) but I'm hoping it really is as amicable as it seems and they all end up happier for it. Also, I have read some insane things from some really crazy fans and just...really? I know I'm a fangirl, but can we have a little bit of respect please? Also. if I see someone quoting "Would you rather be a widow or a divorcee" ONE MORE FUCKING TIME I cannot be held responsible for my actions.

2. I am distraught by the lack of Spencer Smith in everything Panic does. I get that Brendon's the front man and I adore the kid, but seriously. The "Making of..." For "Mona Lisa" I think has him saying "Hi, I'm Spencer" and "The first single for our new album." I didn't used to care so much, but...there's only two of them, give Spencer some camera time.

3. Panic's doing a UK tour in April. That's all good and well for the kids in the UK but does nothing for me. I know, I know, we'll probably get a summer tour. I don't care. I want to see them like...immediately after the new album comes out.

4. Once again, cannot take critiques seriously when they write Brendon's name as Brandon. Once is a typo; four times makes your argument invalid based on general stupidity. Saw two that did that yesterday.

5. GOT TICKETS FOR TRAVIE with BLACK CARDS, BAD RABBITS... and some other people...for MARCH 20 IN TOWSON! I'm SO fucking excited! Katie's going with me again and apparently her goals are to manage to touch Travie McCoy and hopefully find a way to show Pete Wentz I have Fall Out Boy lyrics on my wrist. She's a good friend. >.>

I'm still not going to do any work. No, really. You know that point in the day where you realize and have to come to terms with the fact that you are NOT going to accomplish anything else? Yes, I am there. I think I was there at about 10 a.m. And I still have class tonight. Joy. So...Time to find another way to occupy my time. Text me or something! ;)

Title: Sh-sh-shakin'
Fandom: Bandom (Panic! at the Disco)
Pairing: Brendon/Spencer
hc_bingo prompt: electrocution
Rating: PG13
Warnings: Other than mild electrocution and boy stupidity, it's pretty safe.
Summary: Brendon installs a fence and it backfires.
Word Count: 1430
Disclaimer: I deal in lies.
AN: Finally finished one of the prompts for hc_bingo (full card here...potentially triggery). Still not posting bandom in bandom comms, I don't know why. Maybe eventually I'll write something that isn't Brendon/Spencer...that possibility isn't seeming too likely. Title from Rooney's "Shakin'" because I suck at titles and I've never had issues being cliche. No beta, feel free to poke at my errors or offer to beta in the future. ;)
