INTERNETS, YOU'VE GOT SOME EXPLAININ' TO DO.

[behindthec]

i ran a google image search for "ryan ross" (i just wanted a picture of him in a white button down shirt, was that too much to ask for? apparently it was), and this came up on after a few pages.

i blinked many times and then i went back and found this.

those are some extremely unique blue pants, ladies and gentlemen. unique in their epic ugliness to the point that i cannot imagine two whole human beings being willing to wear them. and that really, really looks like ryan to me. i'm trying to be objective here but that really, really looks like bb!ryan.

explain. (ETA: the nose. aside from the hideous pants, it's all in the nose for me.)

*blinks some more*

Ok... are you fucking kidding me?

That is most certainly Ryan. Looks too much like him... and isn't that Spencer in the middle of the second pic??? OhMyGod.

And am I going insane or in the first pic it actually Bden wearing the pants whilst Ryan kisses him on the forehead?

So, not only incredibly disasterously ugly pants, but they're sharing them???

Such boyfriends. Your personal canon is only being confirmed more and more here Colin.

D'AWWWWWW!!!

lol i already tweeted you about my theory, what with the gauges and ryan's button nose. this is entirely true plausible.

also, what is he holding? if it's a flower/love note, i just might die.

[nyquil-love.livejournal.com]

He does have the ear plugs and his nose looks crazy similar!
If only we could see his fingers better; they are pretty unmistakable.
LOL

[noahatthedisco.livejournal.com]

I want it to be, but i honestly don't see it...
body shape seems wrong to me, and the dude looks to old to me... he likes about ~19-20, we know what Ryan looked like at that age...
idk, sorry, i don't see it.

[kaytvengeance.livejournal.com]

I don't see it, I kinda wish I did, but if anything, the dude in jeans resembles bb!Ryro more, the other one looks too big to be Ryan. The trousers are Dickies methinks (wasn't Spencer talking about those on twitter?) and aren't that uncommon.

[mudd248.livejournal.com]

Fuel to the fire, haha. Regardless if it's Ryan or not, it's a cute picture.

[tanisafan.livejournal.com]

I'm also going with I don't see it. I don't really know why not, I think it's mainly because something about his posture seems off to me, and the guy is not wearing the big ear plugs Ryan was wearing when he had that hairdo.

RYANNN
PROOF THAT YOU.IS.GAYYYY!!!!
and now i am going to go compare and contrast every single feature available to our eyes in that picture. but. GAH. so fucking cute!!

[slashxmistress.livejournal.com]

I don't see it either :(- I'm also SURE I've seen that same couple taken from another angle- but I can't remember where! Fail brain, fail!

[justranda.livejournal.com]

hey, dickies used to be extremely popular at hot topic before it was overrun by the goth scene/scene kids.

however, bb!ryan boisex? sign me up.

[panicmydear.livejournal.com]

RYAN YOU FAIL SO HARD. THOSE PANTS, MAN.

The ironic thing is that I made an icon with those boxers that are showing. Mmm. I like 14 year old Ryan and I'm not a pedo for doing so.

YAY PRETTY BLONDE BF! Ryan is too flaming to NOT have had one. We all know about his complex with blondes.

[tenderedheart.livejournal.com]

.........

I can't stop saying "oh my fucking god".

Like...literally.

Just. No words.

[the-randomist.livejournal.com]

hmmm...where's that picture of bb!ryan sharing a fruit roll up with some random dude all Lady and the Tramp spaghetti noodle style? Could be useful for additional comparison. :D

[unluckykitty.livejournal.com]

You have most definitely made my day.

i lol'd when i found this.

[reinvent.livejournal.com]

[debbie]
it doesn't look like him at all imo. and plugs, swoopy hair, dickies, and studded belts are/were not in any way uncommon. some of my guy friends in middle school/high school wore nothing BUT dickies.
[/debbie]

[thewayudoitt.livejournal.com]

i've been staring at this picture ever since you posted it on twitter.
and idk. hm. his mouth doesn't look like ryan's but the NOSE and HAIR and.. everything ELSE, jfc.
and lmfao, he looks like he's holding a smushed banana.. or like, a tissue or something. xD
i can kinda see his thumb.. it looks awfully long and bony and ryan-ish.

we needz a cute fic about this. C:

[guilt-lines.livejournal.com]

Mr "I don't tin hat" :P

having said that, ily. ryan does have a really cute little nose like that. and... a pierced ear I believe (http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a260/forcedmovement/RRB8.jpg) AND ALSO TO BE NOTING THE BELT. SAME BELT IN JEANS. This (http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e373/pisstoputyouout/Ryan%20Ross/DCAM0246.jpg) is a great one for the nose too, and the hair looks really similar. And what is this? (http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e373/pisstoputyouout/Ryan%20Ross/DCAM0279.jpg) A dark hoodie? And in the reflection, it's eaither a pinkish coloured scarf (HELLO. lol) or poosibly a pink shirt? (http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f8/missmissy1288/Picspam/74c91f4e.jpg).

OKAY. WHAT JUST HAPPENED? WHY DID I JUST SPEND TIME DOING THAT? DAMN YOU, COLIN.

mmm. jailbait ;)

[quixoticfangirl.livejournal.com]

Ahh. Maybe I'm blind but I don't see it at all. Other then the nose and the jeans, it doesn't really look like Ryan to me. /o\

The pic is very cute though :)

And the second one never fails to make me grin like a fool. xD

[j-plash.livejournal.com]

The second one is bb!Ryan. It's one of the Pet Salamander pics. Ryan, Spence, Brent and...Trevor. The full set's around somewhere. My fav proof that Ryan has always felt the need to drape himself all over his band to affirm that has is needed, since time immemorial.

As for the first picture...I agree, when I first clicked on it, I instantly thought it was Ryan, and I still think it looks exactly like Ryan. I don't think the clothes prove it, lol, given that every kid was wearing them back then. But I do think it looks a *lot* like him (I am somewhat put off by the fact that no one else does, lol, but...). I also think it's a totally adorable picture, and I thoroughly intend to save it :D That said, I don't think beyond our fangirly imaginations (in which it is definitely a pic of Ryro and his boyfriend XD) it really has to be a pic of anything much. Guys do shit like that all the time, Ryan's (or his clone) obviously squirming...I think it's just a cute old picture of Ryan, lol. Nice find, though :D

[verbosediatribe.livejournal.com]

Um, will you marry me? I'm kind of underage, but I think I love you. We could make it work.

That really does look like him. I've seen both of those pictures so many times. How have I not noticed before?

[borednboring.livejournal.com]

it is bb!ryan!
pet salamander goodness!

[monamour-x.livejournal.com]

lol, you. <3 i don't see it, but i'm amused/elated by how excited this seems to make you :)

gah, those pants. *shakes head*

is it weird that it totally makes me grin really stupidly thinking about ryan being faily enough to actually wear them? *dreamy sigh*

<3

[happichick17.livejournal.com]

It looks like Ryan a bit. I will totally agree--the nose is the thing that makes me say it's him, and the whole smirk. He does it so well...

When I first saw it, I thought he was trying to put his hands in the pocket of otherboy's hooide. But now I am seeing the whole smushed banana thing, and idk what to think anymore.

I want it to be him so so much...but...but...I can think up no good reasons why it's not...which means it is! *squee*

[iamtheenemy.livejournal.com]

Those are Dickies, dude. Every single guy I knew from the ages 12 to 18 had at least one pair. Have you for real never seen Dickies before? Your childhood was so empty.
