I didn't notice that the back gate had blown open and have just spent a long time looking for Tex. Of course when I came back he was sitting on the step.
Before I went I was commenting to
firequill about popslash/bandom and she asked what pairing she'd like if she liked trickyfish in popslash. Which was a cool thing to think about when I was trudging around looking for a relatively small dog in a big field/hill.
So, my thoughts, let me show you them.
First off, my initial reaction was to tell her that it was Mikey/Frank, because everyone should love that pairing. However, pushing aside my personal bias, I tried to think of matches between the fandoms. Of course nothing will match exactly due to personalties and dynamics being so different, still, it was fun to try.
When I got into bandom back in the day
callsigns told me that Ryan/Pete could be said to be like timbertrick, with the age differences and often written as fucked up. Which yes, I can see that.
JuC/Joshtin has to be Ferard/Gerard/Frank, a hugely popular pairing where when the stories are good, they're awesome, when they're bad they're horrible.
However, we have a problem in that neither Gerard or Frank are the main angst magnet in the fandom. Step forward Mikeyway. The man who gets raped, beaten, abused, beaten up, killed and suffers from eating disorders on a regular basis. So if Mikey is the JC of MCR, that means the Justin would have to be Gerard, someone who holds concert goers in the palm of his hand and has inappropriate love for family members. It fits! Sort of. If you squint.
Obviously Joey is like Ray, both made of awesome, not written enough and with thighs of steel.
I don't know. I have lots of popslash/bandom people on my flist, so tell me. Trickyfish = ? Any band goes, it doesn't have to be MCR. So feel free to tell me how Lance Bass is Brendon Urie in another body.
