So as most of my picspams start out, I was scouring flickr, photobucket, etc. in search of pictures that I can either a) icon, b) pass the time with or - in this case - c) use for a picspam I am preparing for starlesscities that is filled with Ryan's hippie-hair loveliness. BUT!

In my search, I stumbled upon a few picture which halted my progress because, wait- Ryan Ross has an ass? It can't be! Well, he does, and while Ryan's is no where near as ~*fabulous*~ as Brendon's, it's still pretty worthy of a completely self-indulgent picspam objectifying it.

RR'S ASS-SPAM

( Hey doods, where'd you get your jeans at? )

happy valentine's day, f-list ♥





shall we have a tru luv picspam?

if not, let's catch up :)

Title: Deprivation
Author: selectivelyurie
Rating: R
Pairing: Ryan/Brendon (the one and only)
Summary: Somewhere between "Hi, I'm Brendon" and now...he and Ryan fell into this really strange relationship.
Disclaimer: Don't own, not true (or is it?)
Beta: alphabetatoast
Author Notes: This is meant to hurt. There is no happy ending, no life altering declarations of love, no tears of joy. It's the story of Brendon and Ryan growing up, growing attached and growing apart. It's messy and tragic and beautiful but hey, isn't that the epitome Brendon and Ryan?

I want to dedicate this to a few people who held my hand over this 6 month perfection period. behindthec (who has gotten really good at listening to my rambles and persuading me to turn them into fic, much like this one), my_obsession_xx (because she is my boo ♥), ivesia19 (because she loves me enough to let me submit this even if it's a bit sad), and especially to alphabetatoast (because she gets it, all of it. ♥)

For rydenrevival, because we need a little more love :)

( Brendon first notices it the second night they're in Maryland. )

just a quick, public fyi: does everyone remember this picture?

well, whether you do or not, that's from september 2007, and the girl's name is courtney. she was(/is? i have no idea + it's unimportant) ryan's friend, and this was her birthday party. she also mentioned him in her journal in 2006 (his ~queer costume, lmao. obviously summer tour) where she coincidentally mentions z berg from the like.

in conclusion: ryan ross has been connected to z/the like/hipster culture since 2006. just because we're seeing pics of him + them NOW, when people are good at stalking the fuck out of facebook and such, doesn't mean he hasn't always hung out with these people. he has not ~changed drastically~ and if you liked him in 2006 but hate him now for a reason having to do with the people he's friends with, maybe you should re-evaluate your hatred?

I would just like everyone to know that 1842 is brilliant.

This is everything this fandom needs to know and understand before they decide to categorize people so negatively.
