HERE IS THE THING: I never had any interest whatsoever in Bandom, and then I read 'Gerard Way's Vampire Detective Agency' and loved it, but still didn't make any attempt to find out about My Chem.
BUT! But then I watched the video for Na na na (which Gerard directs) and I loved their sensibility, and then I listened to more of their music, and then I started reading interviews, and OH MY GOD THEY ARE THE MOST FUCKING ADORABLE LOVED-UP GEEKY EARNEST CUPCAKES IN THE WORLD.
Honestly, I am not someone who has any interest in celebrities, and I have never fangirled a band in my life, but I have the most massive love-on for these guys. They're just so sincere, bless their wee hearts, and they LOVE each other to pieces, and they're simultaneously completely ridiculous and completely disarming. They slay me. Frank is COMPLETELY BESOTTED with Gerard, bless him, and it's clearly mutual - Gerard was co-hosting a radio show a couple of weeks ago while he was in the UK, every night for a week, and Frankie had made the play list for him, and he kept referring back to Frankie all the time "Yeah, I'd love a knighthood. And Frankie wants one too" etc etc. They are the most married little bunnies ever.
And I say that as somebody who absolutely ships the living hell out of Gerard and his wife, Lindsey - Lindsey (aka LynZ, bass player of Mindless Self Indulgence) is basically the girl version of Frank. Or possibly the girl version of Gerard. A bit of both, really - but like Frank, she's a dark-haired guitarist who's staggeringly bendy, throws herself around the stage like a complete lunatic, and has some impressive tattoos. Like Gerard, she's also an artist, and brings that sensibility to her life & her work. She's fucking awesome - stunningly beautiful, courageous as you like, a ferociously talented artist, UNBELIEVABLY FUCKING BENDY and pretty damn classy about having nasty vicious jealous Gerard fangirls insulting her on Twitter.
So, yes - Gerard/Lindsey, and Frank/Jamia - absolutely for the win. But Frank and Gerard are still the most married of married things.

Look: When NME first met My Chemical Romance...we thought we’d take them out on the town for a drink. Racing upstairs on the bus to whisk everyone off to an all-nighter at Jilly’s Rockworld, we were met by the strange sight of the band in pyjamas watching a Dungeons & Dragons DVD. We went out with the support band instead and when we dragged our sorry arses home at 8.30am the next day, we bumped into the band again who were just on their way to see an early screening of the new Harry Potter film.

Such is my enthusiasm for them all, in fact, that I have committed bandom fic with vampires, in case you might be interested in same.
