Pretending to be in love is probably easier than the real thing, right? Inspired by a request I got from @doodlingmoose on tumblr; I loved the idea so much and felt it could make a great series. The poem Josh's short film is based on is titled Triptych of the Heart by Catherine Sasanov [https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/catherine-sasanov].

In the hostile town of Belleville, New Jersey, a small diner was situated, run by Bob Bryar and somewhat co-owned by the bitter redhead known as Gerard "Gee" Way. It wasn't much, and a bit too busy for a comfortable scene, but it was the exact place a lonely Frank found himself at a useless hour, chatting up the nervous waiter whilst sipping away at a vanilla milkshake that was much too much for him and his small form. • • dangerdays!gerard parade!frank

- In which a group of kids at a boarding school have no idea what they're doing with their lives and are all on the somewhat same level of confusion and apathy for everything. It doesn't help that everyone's got some sort of mystery to them. Tay disappears for long periods of time at least twice a week, Vic is trapped in a scary relationship, Ryan isn't sure of anything in life which they fight by running too much, and Kellin eats too much and can't sleep because of nightmares which might have to do with the scars all over his arms. "It's hard when you're living and you don't feel much, and you're down and you're hurting because you don't feel loved." [Named after the song "Flicker, Fade" by Taking Back Sunday]

- In which Ryan is desperate and Brendon is hyper. Since Brendon is obviously incapable of behaving like a normal human being, he's assigned detentions after school in the library, the same library that Ryan hangs out in after school to avoid going home for a little longer. "Stick flowers in my wounds, grow a garden in my side." [Based off of the song "Saturday Love" by Angels & Airwaves]

- In which a lonely kid named Alex who is only slightly obsessed with how colorful the whole planet is meets a lonely kid named Jack who has stopped obsessing over anything and spends his days desperately seeking someone to fill an empty space in his life. "Just keep your eyes open." [Named after the album "Eyes Open" by Snow Patrol]
