Picture:

Exclusive art by crowgirl13! :D
Gerard! Isn't this gorgeous? There were some worries about how there is maybe not an instant likeness but I don't know...
I just really like this, esp. his nose and his mouth and the way he's looking down. ♥ x INFINITY

Rec: Bleeds Like a Boy by strangecreature (Bandslash, MCR; mostly gen) - transgender!Mikey.
Mikey was actually born a girl but she realizes that she identifies as male.
This is just so good, IDEK! And his band loves him so much ZOMG! <3

Songs: I wish I could already post songs from the new MCR album but apparently we have to wait until next year. *sigh* Patience, what's that? Can you eat it? :P Have some old MCR stuff in the mean time:

Desert Song // Famous Last Words // Headfirst For Halos // Thank You for the Venom // Under Pressure (ft. The Used)

Enjoy! :-)

This post is full of awesomeness \o/

The art is gorgeous! I think there are so many details that make it Gerard, like the pointy nose, high cheekbones and messy hair, that there shouldn't be any worries about likeness. I really like the blue in his hair and love how the scarf looks all fluffy and soft.

Interesting rec, I'm off to read the story!

Oh man, thank you so much for your feedback on the art! I was very nervous about offering this for mfac, but now I'm really glad I did. :D

Hee, thanks! <3

And I enjoyed that story so much so I hope you'll like it, too :) .

I love that story so much!

And that's a very lovely drawing ♥

Thank you, darling. That means a lot. ♥

[mfac.livejournal.com]

Me too! And I think I actually found it through your rec so thanks for that :D .

[sperrywink]

That is a very lovely drawing.

[crowgirl13.livejournal.com]

Thank you for saying so. It's the first time since art school that I've really tried to draw anyone. And art school was a long time ago. ♥

You rule, period. :D Thank you for being so patient with my waffling and so generous in your comments. :)

You! = ♥ x INFINITY

I'm just happy that you were so generous to share your talent with mfac :D . Thanks again! <3

Oh man, the hair! and the scarf! So totally Gerard. Very pretty drawing!

Patience, I heard of that once somewhere. I think maybe you sprinkle it in your bubble bath.

Yeah, that seems to ring a bell. *g*

I love that art piece up there. I really like that drawing style and you shouldn't worry about the likeness, if one cares to look there are lots of details that are very Gerard-y, like the eyebrows and his nose and the wispy hair :)

Oh, Gerard is lovely! I can't stop staring at his eyelashes. :)

Good song choices--two of those are in my top five favorites. Unbelievably, I didn't have a copy of Desert Song, so thank you very much for that one. ♥

Hee, you have very good taste in MCR music then! *g* And I love Desert Song (obvsly) so enjoy! :D

Pretty art!!! I love his unruly hair with the teal roots (that's such an underappreciated hairstyle of his!) and the fluffy scarves, so very Gerard! I can understand why you're worried about the likeness, there's something not quite right about his nose and eyebrows but I think it might be because of the angle. His eyes and cheekbones are curve of the jaw is totally Gerard though so don't worry about the rest!

Those are all great song choices!

Hee, thank you, Turlough! We obviously both have great taste in music. *g*
