hi this is my fall out boy shrine! 99% based on a very old spacehey layout i used on january 2023 that i did not properly archive! because im a dumbass! but i did have the original images laying around so heres a recreation. this is also a way to share with you the absolutely insane amount of FOB blinkies ive been saving for like 2 years now...

i cant exactly pinpoint a date or year but ive been listening to them for quite a while now - id say the first song i heard of them is either Immortals or Centuries around 2015 - but i only really got into the band back in 2021. i was generally more into My Chemical Romance around the time but i feel like those two fandoms are so overlapped that getting into FOB was inevitable LOL what i didnt know when i got into them is that i would continue on to have the most insane and probably one of the most long lasting hyperfixations of my life... it was crazy!
this is a bit personal but whatever its MY shrine in MY personal website youre signing up for it: i must admit i discovered them in a very hard point of my life. your usual teenage troubles, i guess, but i had moved from a really far away town to start an almost completely new life and it hit me hard. i had a very shitty year where my social anxiety, that had only been building up from spending 12 months locked up in my house during the pandemic, completely skyrocketed and i had one of the worst depressive periods of my life. probably the worst. the point is that fall out boy was that band for me at the time - it helped me process stuff that was happening to me but also let me distract myself at the same time. it is a band i hold VERY close to my heart and even though i might not listen to them as obsessively as i once did, it will probably be one of my favorite bands forever. ♡
