I will gladly stay an afterthought

Gerard's arguing with a cup of evil coffee. (Something about this fandom brings out the sheer crack in me, although this? Was not originally my idea.) Sorry for the terrible quality; I used my iSight of all things, as it was late and I didn't have time to scan. /o\
I also at least thumbnailed some of the other stuff I want to draw, much of which will probably go faster than this. (Trying to draw Gerard's face twelve times in a row, fairly consistently, is seriously nerve-wracking. Even when I give up on fiddling endlessly with it, trying to improve the likeness. I'm grateful to people who take a billion photos of him at one event, really, because it gives me an entire model sheet to work with.)
I considered making a long, meta post about the balance between valuing female characters and over-idealizing their personalities away; and also, how particularly fascinating this issue could be in an RPF fandom. But, I wound up not having the stamina . . . and anyway, I had nothing specific to say about the wank itself. Apropos of very little, I think people should write more femslash. I always think people should write more femslash.
Amanda Palmer's solo album has not left my player in days. ♥ I'm excited to buy it for real. Also, I've resisted a lot of frivolous fandom-related merch, but I am definitely getting one of these. (The umbrella. Though if they sold Gerards at my local comic shop, well . . . Sadly, I don't much like the action figure.)
