I changed my journal header and colour today, and it's so blue. I keep looking at it and feeling cold.

The stair lift dude was here earlier and the thing is bust. The track hasn't come down at the bottom automatically for ages now. When he checked it out he said it was beyond repair, so we're getting a new stair lift installed. Hopefully they won't notice the cats like using the back of the seat as a scratching post.

Tell me flist. If you could have a story custom written for you, what would it contain? Not that I'm offering or anything, I'm just curious what people's ideal stories would be. Any fandom goes.

it is a very ice-blue design - pretty, though.

Um, there are many things (fic that deals with body image issues? there has to be bandom body image fic, right?) but the one that leaps to mind - centaurs. Popslash urban fantasy centaurs written by someone who knows horses ... no, really.

Thank you :)

There are body image bandom fics, sadly the ones I found dealt with Mikey thinking he was fat, which lead him to being anorexic. And then he died, which I may still be bitter about.

There may be more on the Panic side, where Jon is 'normal' boy sized as opposed to the rest.

That sounds so good.

yeah, cos I'd look at MCR's lineup and pick *Mikey* as the boy most likely to think he's fat. Right. (also - was that the 'and then, suddenly, he died' cop out ending?)

honestly - the internet is full of people yelling about how my preferred men are 'OMG SO FAT' and then they go and write body image fic about *Mikey Fucking Way*

That's the story. In the right hands it maybe could have worked, but it so didn't. It was rushed, had no reasoning behind Mikey standing in front of a mirror and thinking 'omg, I'm so fat'

So I read all that, and he collapses in the shower. Which fine, he's not eating. I'll actually buy that. But then he comes home, things are fine, he has Frank ( which pains me because Mikey/Frank is my happy place at the moment ) and the writer so obviously gets sick of the story, so she gives him a heart attack. Then the next part is Gerard at his funeral. I was so annoyed.

People are stupid. I've actually read people seriously say that Frank is fat, and a feeder. Because he feeds all his band so they put on weight too. Apart from Mikey, who of course doesn't eat at all. That was an actual comment in a comm.

Some people make me despair.

So this would be Frank making rich cakes and creamy sauces and feeding them to his bandmates, an apron tied around his waist, flour on his cheek as he holds out a spoon with some sauce on it to Bob. Who then complains that his pants aren't fitting right and Frank needs to cut it out with all this food already, but still opens his mouth, eyes closing a little as he swallows.

Which makes Frank beam and plot and plan this lavish dinner date where they all sit around and just eat. Except Mikey who picks at his food and won't touch anything that's not salad.

Which makes Frank sad, and Gerard mad, and there would be issues!

*takes a moment to appreciate that first para*

well, not *just* eat - there can be flirting and lingering glances, right on through to the making out and the hot sex ... but, well, *YES*
