kalpurna at 05:34pm on 19/05/2008Hey, you know what I didn't know before today? That Ashlee started studying ballet at the age of three, and was admitted to the School of American Ballet when she was 11. (The minimum age is actually 12; Papa Joe lied about her age, because he is sketchy. Still, she was holding her own with older kids, that's fucking impressive.) And I knew she played Roxie in a West End run of Chicago, but I didn't know she got rave reviews. Whatever, I'm not saying she's Aretha Franklin. What I am saying is that I would totally read the Broadway AU where she and Patrick and Brendon are all in a play together. Oklahoma! Brendon is Curly, Patrick is Jud, Ashlee is Ado Annie. Anything Goes! Ashlee is Reno Sweeney, Patrick is Moonface Martin, Brendon is Billy. South Pacific! Patrick is Emile, Ashlee is Nellie, Brendon is Cable.
Of course during all of these Pete is the skeevy stage manager who likes to give dirty interpretations of the songs over the headsets in the middle of the show, and Ryro is the lighting guy who nested in the catwalks and never comes down except to blink at everyone during opening nights and steal the complimentary wine. Gerard is the director. Ray Toro is the conductor and people in the front rows always whisper angrily about how they can't see over his furiously swishing hair, until Bob the set design guy takes pity on them and starts building the pit deeper. The Cab boys are little stage techs who remember to dress all in black but forget to take off their neon sunglasses before running out on stage.
ETA: Augh this PICSPAM my HEART

BTW, are we acquainted? I added you--er--maybe a couple of weeks ago, but I'm not sure I introduced myself. I'm Christy. *waves*

and then I started wondering how much of the initial attraction between them was some kind of knight-in-not-so-shining-armor thing. like, not now, I hope (because they make each other go all goofy-smily and act like precious dorks, okay, and the world needs as much of that as it can get), but you could totally frame it that way from either side. Pete is skeeved out by Joe Simpson and wants to take Ashlee away from that! and/or, Ashlee sees Pete as a way to really piss her dad off that turns into something real!

Um, although also, the musical theater plus Papa Joe's sketchiness just sent me to a VERY VERY BAD Gypsy place. /o\

DUDE! I've totally got that Brendon/Patrick story all planned out! It's post-Panic and Brendon goes to try Broadway because, come on, it's Broadway and Brendon. And so he's in a play or two and then Patrick ends up writing a Broadway musical (which, dude, he so totally wrote the lead with Brendon in mind. Even if it was just subconsciously). So he goes to New York to start talking to people about putting it on. And he stays with Brendon for a little while while he's in meetings and talking and all.
And then Patrick's play is going to be on stage, and if you didn't see Brendon Urie as the lead in it from 8 miles away, then you need glasses. And Patrick has decided that he's going to be the obnoxious busybody playwright (unless he just directs it too... hmmm...) and so he crashes on Brendon's couch again. You know, just until he finds a place to stay. Which kind of keeps getting pushed to the back burner. It's hard to find an apartment in New York City. And Brendon loves having a roommate, so. It's all good.
Andthentheyhavesex. And Brendon is a Broadway star and Ashlee's totally going to have to be the female lead now and Patrick's play is amazing and everyone loves them and all of bandom turns out for the first show and Pete stands on his chair to cheer for all of them. Andthenthereismoresex.

Secondly? Ashlee is ... kind of amazing. She's out from under her older sister's shadow (and, arguably, better than said older sister). She's found her guy (and the fact that it's Pete just makes it BETTER). And she's held her own. I admire that. She's never been all crazy-partying-with-Paris-Hilton, and in interviews, she's actually articulate. I can't tell you how awesome I think she is. Cause I do.
Thirdly, hi!
