In case of heartbreak, blanketfort.

So? Who's going to keep me company in the blanketfort while I come to terms with my favourite band splitting in two?
I've never been so invested in a fandom and this feels awful.
I don't care about having two Christmas and two parties. I liked my one Christmas party.
I know that it's better this way, them going their ways now instead of trying to make it work and everyone being unhappy, but it still hurts.
I'm sure in a couple of days I'll be able to look at this and think "Hey. You know what. Maybe it's cool. It hurts, but there's still something to look forward to. Jon and Ryan will go do whatever they want to do and so will do Brendon and Spencer. We get two bands instead of no band at all. Brendon will be able to make up all the showtunes-y songs he wants and Spencer will be able to be the dork he is and Jon will continue to braid his hair and Ryan (hopefully) will learn how to sing."
Reading that kind of makes me feel better already. Maybe if I repeat it like a mantra the pain will ease faster.
These certainly helps


as do you, flist. *hugs you tight and shares the pillows*

The fact they this way they can at least split up somewhat amicably instead of dragging on and ending up hating each other (and also that my OTP is intact /o\) is what's consoling me :(
no subject
I was trying not to mention it but since you brought it up.... OMG AM I GLAD THAT MY OTP IS FINE AND ALIVE? *shameless quoting*
no subject
I feel like the worst fan ever, but OMG AM I GLAD! That is the one ray of sunshine in this entire mess.
no subject
Look, as a music fan I'm heartbroken and sad and angry. As a fandom member, I'm happy that the canon mess won't ruin my fanon beliefs too much.
I have to find some solace somewhere, and there is where I decided to find it.

I mean... I took a plane to London to see them last year. I liked them so much that I bought a ticket for a show outside my country just to see them. I liked them.
It hurts.

Let's just hug it out. <3333

Non ho più parole, uffi. :(( so, so, so sad. Ho letto la risposta che hanno dato spencer e brendon e nonostante cerchino di dimostrare entusiasmo per quello che arriverà, io sono tornata a piagnucolare lo stesso, sob.
e mi ha ucciso questo "It’s been an amazing journey being in a band with them" lo è stato... ;__; cavolo sono cresciuti insieme. :( *cries a bit more*
Cercherò di guardare avanti ziiiigh!!! speriamo bene ;)

La cosa più brutta è che era da un po' che si sentiva un'aria pesante e nessuno ha detto niente finchè non hanno lanciato la bomba. Cioè, continuavano ad hintare al nuovo album e al nuovo singolo ma non si parlavano tra di loro e noi stavamo tutti lì a cercare di sdrammatizzare.
Quello che mi urta ancora di più è che abbiano rilasciato due statements separati. È tipo la ultimate proof.
Cerchiamo di pensare positivo: meglio due band piccole che nessuna band. E poi chissà... I Blink costituiscono un precedente.
Per ora mi raggomitolo nel blanketfort.
no subject
But now, it seems like they're serious. And my heart is just breaking. I can't even, like.
I want a blanket fort, too =(
no subject
I hoped for someone to just come out and say "Joking, joking. Happy Panicfools Day!" but no such luck :(
It feels awful.
no subject
I'm just hoping both of the bands will give me something to be happy about.
It just wont be the same. I'm not so happy about that. These boys, they gave us such epically amazing times
no subject
I'm trying to think positive. This post (http://community.livejournal.com/chasingdays/32466.html) helped a bit :)

Panic is (/was? This is so confusing...) one of my absolute favourite bands, and one of the first bands that I got into and found out about without the help of my friends, which makes it somehow even more important to me.
This makes me sad and hurt, but I don't know, I hope that the guys will be happy pursuing their separate projects or something.
I'm curious to know what plans Brendon and Spencer have for the band. Maybe they'll get Ian Crawford as a second guitarist! Or maybe not, but at least it's a happy thought.
In other words, I'm joining you in your blanketfort and bringing cookies, because cookies make everything better!
no subject
Panic is one of those bands that none of my friends listen to so I'm kind of alone in my bawling right now. I'm so very grateful for my flist right now.
The fact that this way all of them will be happy makes it a bit better, and I am curious about their future projects. It might sound stupid, but seeing how they'll fare on their own it's kind of interesting to me. Like, when Blink split up and then Mark and Travis founded +44 and Tom put up A&A it was interesting to see what each of them did for Blink and how they supplied to the imputs the others had provided for the band.
I'm not at that point yet, and I don't think I'll ever be happy about it, but I know that in a couple of days I'll be able to let the sadness go and be happy that they decided to still make music, maybe different, certainly new, and share it with us fans. The glass it's not half empty: it's full of water and air, and both are good for you. *is hopeful*
Cookies are the best! *shuffles over and passes you a fluffy pillow*

My BFF and another friend occasionally listen to Panic, but I'm kind of alone in my mourning right now, too. Bandom is definitely good for support in this situation.
The future sure seems to be going in an interesting direction.
This is really sad and I wish it would not have happened, but I'm trying to think of things that would make it hurt less. The thought of new music and possible new band boys doesn't make it better yet, but maybe next week or later. The glass is still half full of band boys and the rest of them are out there but just in a different form... Um? I have to admit I have no idea where I was going with that. I totally butchered that metaphor, didn't I?
They're even homemade! *Takes the pillow and hands over the cookie jar*
no subject
You didn't butchered it at all! I know what you mean :)
I read this post (http://community.livejournal.com/chasingdays/32466.html) yesterday and it helped looking at thing a bit more optimistically.
Homede cookies! *grabs the jar and offers a can of soda*

Fatemi posto ♥ *abbraccia tutti e si accovaccia nel fortino distribuendo cioccolata in giro*

Al momento sono in uno stato di tristezza assurda, però ogni tanto c'è uno sprazzo di ottimismo per il futuro.
I twitter di Spencer aiutano un sacco :)
E si, il fatto che si siano divisi in quelle formazioni è un piccolo raggio di sole in questo casino. Mi dispiace per voi Joncer, però vedila così: magari ora che sono lontani ci sono più motivi per scrivere phonesex!fic. :D?

As for Panic, honestly, the news doesn't surprise me. It's felt like it's been months of weird vibes from the boys and they weren't spending much time together. It still makes me sad though. I feel like lately every band i'm really into just breaks up. Which is essentially what they are doing.
However, I hope they're all happy. I do not wish any ill will to any of the members, if this is what they think is for the best, then we just have to agree. We don't/won't know what really happened, and they deserve that privacy.
I'm glad I have Merlin eps to make me not think about this though. :/
no subject
I know what you mean. Since before South Africa they seemed a bit off. I just hoped that I was wrong. It seems like they are happier like this, and I can't blame any of them for it. You do what you need to do to be happy. I wish themm the best :)
I think I'm going to dive into the Merlin fandom for a bit. Good thing the posting over at
P.S Other bands are breaking up? I have been so obsessed with Panic lately that I didn't catch any news about other bands. Who are these bands you're talking about?
no subject
Yea, I'm deeply immersed into the Merlin Fandon, no one shall take it away! haha.
Other bands, there was Phantom Planet, Larrikin Love, and Dirty Pretty Things this year. (though to be fair DPT were not a favourite but Carl is love and that made me sad)
no subject
Merlin is warming my cracked heart.
Oh yeah! I wasn't a big fan of Phantom Planet, I was just learning about them when they broke up so I wasn't really upset about it. I don't know the other two bands, tho.
I thought you were referring to Coldplay, because there was that rumor going around about them disbanding after Viva La Vida, but it looks like it was just a rumor (and am I glad about that! Coldplay are very dear to my heart)
no subject
At least Spencer and Brendon are still OTP?
no subject
That is the one good thing about this mess. My OTP is FINE and ALIVE!
