Hey dudes, it's been a while! Sorry I suck at updating, and I'm still planning to get pictures of my new apartment up soon. (Spoiler alert: it rules.)
I woke up today with a fucking migraine, again. Holy Christ I hate them. HAAAAAAAATE. I take caffeine pills to help with the migraine, and then I can't even sleep through it, so I just have to lie in a dark room, and I can't even use my computer until the photosensitivity passes, because hi, staring at a LIGHTBULB, and just. MIGRAINES. DO NOT WANT.
I've been reading the archives of Pete's journal on the FBR site, and it's... interesting. I don't know. It makes me think a lot, I guess. About who he really is and how well we understand him and the places where we get him more than he realizes and the places where we're way off-base. Being a fan is a strange thing.
And finally, in FAR MORE HORRIFYING NEWS, a friend of mine who wishes to remain anonymous because she still possesses actual shame sent me THIS, after a discussion of how much funnier Fall Out Boy lyrics are if you imagine them as love letters to Hemmy:

I THINK I MIGHT CRY, YOU GUYS. I JUST.
I am never going to look at that dog the same way again. Pete, I know we love our pets, but we don't love them THAT way, okay? Okay. I feel like you aren't listening to me and it is worrisome. HEMMY. TELL AN ADULT.
ETA: Oh, I forgot to mention that on Saturday,
pre_emptive and
etben and
strobelighted came over and we had a super awesome night of inappropriateness and band boys. Fangirl hangouts: I highly recommend them!!!

And i think you're totally right-- a lot of the interpretation of Pete that appears in fic just does not mesh up with the weird hodge-podge of Pete that we get in canon. I think maybe it's just difficult to capture such a.... well, let's just say 'dynamic' personality in any one fic? Like how to get the insecurity without over-doing it into 14 yr old girl land and the playfulness and craving for affection/approval without making him obnoxious puppy!pete. I think most fics entirely bypass the intelligence and moments of self-judgement/mocking. And that's not even the start of it all-- it's just a lot to get pull all together. I have no idea how he holds it together in RL.
