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*

dude, I love your blanket fort!

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. :/

It's not really mine (I found the picture on google) but I do have that kind of bed and blankets like those, so it was ok to use it :)

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 boxofmagic is going to start soon.

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?

Exactly! I don't get how people are blaming anyone, if this is what makes them happy then we should be happy. :)
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)

I'm happy that they are happy, just not happy with their decision, not yet.
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)
