i just thought about new mcr post and... i have some probably crazy THEORY
what if black parade and paper kingdom are connected? (background on the picture gave me an idea)
so. the patient, right? he clinically died cause we heard in the clip cardiac arrest BUT. it doesn't mean his absolute death and he might be resuscitated! then black parade is hallucination of his dying brain. and the paper kingdom is his "survived death" condition when he behaves and thinks like a child

5 REASONS WHY I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS IS JUST ABOUT A TOUR
I don't think I'm smart enough for plausible theories, so this is just a vent of a long time fan. I also have not read many posts, because I've been busy with life, so sorry if someone also said these points.
1. The concept.
I hope this is an album, but I wouldn't pledge my life on it. What I think, however, this is going to be something that brings all the storylines together from previous albums. At least from the Black Parade and Danger Days definitely, but I'm also thinking a bit about Conventional Weapons, too. This is because while yes, the tour does carry the Black Parade name and comes right after everybody spent time crying about not being in the select few to attend the WWWY Fest, the Secretary was not part of the Black Parade storyline. The closest thing we had eas the Director of BLI in Danger Days. And I think we all knew who this woman was the moment she popped up on the screen:
Tumblr media
So what if Gerard's costume for the tour was the now undead Director, who became the Secretary of the Dictator?
2. The storyline itself.
I know every word to every album, from the singles to the B sides to leaked ones. But there may always be a chance that I misinterpreted the whole thing, maybe we all did, but the Black Parade is about the afterlife. Whether you got there because of illnes, war, it doesn't matter, you become part of the Black Parade when you die. I believe it to be a celebration of life, or carrying on even after the end.
What the Black Parade has never been, was a personal celebratory National Band, which is exactly what the post writes as the story. I'm going to insert a screenshot with the story.
Tumblr media
I saw a theory that the entire concept is going to be revamped, which it might as well be, but even it doesn't make sense.
3. Because that's not what My Chemical Romance is.
And right now I'm thinking about the captions under the pictures.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After seeing the Secretary, my first thought about these captions was that we - The Black Parade - originally must have answered by wanting to be killjoys, the rebellious ones, but eventually we broke and stood in line, becoming the Dictator's beloved National Band, to which the Secretary replied: "Good boy."
However, My Chemical Romance never stood for that. They would never reward us with a tour for standing in line and shutting our mouth. They would never become the corporate machine they stood against since the very beginning. They would never lead the Black Parade in this manner and for this purpose.
And maybe it's just my naivety, the long lost teenager somewhere deep in me saying this, but I still believe they would never do that.
4. Foundations of Decay.
Has it been 2 years since this song came out? Yes. Am I going to bring it up? Absolutely.
(This is definitely overthinking on my part, but I was a history major and with the current events, the parallels are unmatched.) So the thing about wars is, you need people to fight it for you. You need soldiers and military leaders and all of them have to be loyal and obey the orders. The easiest way to achieve that, is by building an ideological foundation you can use to sway their judgement and decision making. The mustache man started with the theory of the back stabbing of the nation. During the middle ages, Christianity provided this foundation for the crusades in the middle east. If you give people something to fear or you give them something to idolise, they will be willing to fight against or for what you want.
And this is the Foundation of Decay.
"you must build an altar where it wells"
"Take his body as a relic to be canonised"
"You stumble through your last crusade"
And is you ask me, this is why this one song came out so much earlier than the rest of the project. Because they lay the ideological foundation first, and you need people to absorb it and truly believe before you can lead them with it. So you tell them again and again and again. Play it at every show on a tour. And so that reunion tour is when the Black Parade became the National Band, instead of the Killjoys. Because we sang along to every word, we absorbed it and not just believed it, but lived it as we attended the tour and sang when they told us to, cheered if they just came on the screen. We became conditioned to follow Gerard's orders as he walked on the stage, just as we will follow the order to play for the Dictator, instead of standing against him.
5. But empires and dictatorships never last, do they?
Rome fell apart. There is a reason there was a Third Reich, because the first 2 also fell. The Ottoman Empire also eventually weakened and fell apart. And just because the Communist Party always said that life is great and everyone is happy "In the Concrete Age", everyone who has lived in a ex-soviet occupied country (hello to my fellow Eastern and Central European MCR fans), we can all tell you, it was everything but true.
And so it is only a matter of time before Dictator's reign has to see its end? Perhaps maybe even bought on by his beloved band, put together from the misfits who the Secretary had to break to stay in line.
But, this is all just my theory. Thank you for clowning with me and my tinfoil hat if you read it this far.

my new mcr theory is that they will rerelease The Black Parade in a similar fashion they did with The Black Parade is Dead! with an additional three or four songs titled as what they have left in quotes on their instagram page. But maybe iā€™m delusional and aggressively overthinking things but in this age of Taylor Swift leaving easter eggs for albums she would release five years later is it really all that crazy?

This hasn't seemed to make it to tumblr yet so:
Breaking(ish) News! MCR Potentially Teasing Black Parade Anniversay Tour?
There's a lot of speculation, including on the old alternative Chorus.fm, that the announcement that's coming is a small stadium tour playing the black parade album for the anniversay. The evidence is kinda hazy and circumstantial that it's for black parade specifically imo, but there's several connected occurences of instagram posts and suchlike that point to it potentially being a tour. So... new music still a maybe, I think. But I am keeping the faith.

i dont think japan posts are a coincidence. the business costumes and drums are not coincidence. the repetitive Eagles performances with different lyrics are not coincidence. so far from all NZ, Bris, Melb shows they have played, the setlists have been VERY similar. exception being cemetary drive on bris2 where gerard specifically admitted they hadnā€™t rehearsed that song, meaning they probably havenā€™t rehearsed that many songs at all for the setlists to be so similar atp. something is happening in japan. if they havent rehearsed that many of their old songsā€¦. what other songs would they be rehearsing? new songsā€¦. most likely to be revealed at the japan showsā€¦

Reputation TV release date theory
ok so this is very unrelated to anything i ever post, and probably not the website to post on, but when i'm right i want there to be documented proof.
so i think she's gonna release rep tv on November 10 2024. I think usually contracts for the rights to the masters are 7 years and that's exactly 7 years from the original release date. She also save "i did something bad" as her last surprise song from rep. i think she did this on purpose as if to say she did something bad planning the re-release on the exact date she can legally re-release that album. like as a 'fuck you' to scooter braun.
my other reasoning is the last four letters of the "version' from 1989. y'all know the s looks like a snake, the symbol for reputation. and the i and o make 10 and then N is for November.
also the extended time frame would give her the chance to release a new album if people subscribe to the 'two-rerecording's-one-new-album" theory. but i don't think she'll do another entirely new album in this time frame. without getting too much into it, artists will usually wait about 2 years between album releases for marketing reasons. and i don't think it's been long enough since midnights for her to release an entirely new album unless it's something like christmas album.
as for the date she announces it i have three dates in mind with varying levels of delusion to each of them:
December 2, 2023. defiantly the most delusional, especially considering she's doing an extended cut of the eras tour movie 11 days later. but really it boils down to december = 12th month. 12/2= 6 and rep is the 6th album. other then that there's been nothing
January 1, 2024. mostly because of the rep song and the rep stadium tour movie being removed from netflix dec 30th. it's like "oh reputation's gone, nope never mind it's back"
February 8, 2024. Maybe the most believable (at least for me, outside her just tweeting 'there will be no explanation...') Again y'all know that teacup-clock picture. It's indicating something about 2 and reputation, the second points to 8. Well February is the second month, and the 8th is her second show in japan. so it's two 2's and 8. also in her most recent video promoting the extended version of the eras tour movie folklore is misspelled. folklore is her 8th album.
the bread crumbs are so thick a duck would choke, and i haven't seen anyone else think of this yet either. so i little side theory to my main theories evidence: she's leaving more obvious easter eggs because her fandom hasn't gotten it yet.

Off Leash
I'm going FERAL over all the new My Chem content that's been coming out lately. I love that we got to see some of the characters that we've already seen and I love the fan theories even more. Forgive me for forgetting the name of the OP, but someone said that the red suit look Gerard wore on tour once might be The Dictator and that really stuck with me and inspired this piece. This might be a prediction, maybe a manifestation, but mostly just a reminder of what fate any and all dictators deserve.
Also halfway thought working on this drawing I realized how much it resembles Humbug's Demolition Lovers piece - one of my favorite MCR pieces everrrr

ss/mayo blogspot lore + frerard theory
hi I'm about to drop some insane lore that I don't think a lot of mcr fans/frerard theorists know about. this isn't discussed often so I figured I should write about it here before all the evidence is lost to time.
this is probably gonna be a long one so buckle in! i have gathered as much evidence here as possible but there's no way to be certain about anything. i'm trying to maintain as much journalistic integrity as i can throughout this post (also trying super hard not to insert my opinion too much) because i think a lot of this speaks for itself.
so i have a pretty significant frerard theory but i have to give a lot of backstory and documentation for it to fully make sense. this will not be in chronological order (to best suit the narrative) but i hope it makes sense
many people know about frank's F.T. Willz endeavors which have been proven as him in recent years. however, "ss" or "shitsubou shita" was another blog he had before this which is not widely known
around 2007, there was a major theory in the fandom that gerard and frank were running secret blogspot accounts where they'd post journals, poetry, etc. frank's account was iamthemodernprometheus.blogspot.com and gerard's supposed account was its-mayonaise.blogspot.com. both accounts are still up, though i'm not sure if any posts have since been deleted. this probably sounds crazy so i'll explain everything!
evidence for frank as SS/shitsubou-shita/iamthemodernprometheus
i strongly believe this was frank's personal blog, but you can come to your own conclusions based on this info
frank's supposed original blogspot handle was "shitsubou-shita." once fans realized this was his account, he deleted it pretty much immediately. you can read some fan discussion about the fall out from this in a comment thread here. this comment thread will be linked a few times in this post because most of the screenshots on this post originate from there.
Tumblr media
apparently *frank* was posting some very personal thoughts/feelings on this blog that he did not want to be discovered. i'll go over some of the deleted posts in a minute, but first i need to give more a little more context.
at the same time the blog is found, someone comments "your fired" on a recent post. apparently some fans thought the comment looked strangely out of place, and it was one of the last comments left before the account's deletion, on one of the final posts made.
this will be relevant later on, and we'll get into the account's posts soon.
my theory is that someone on the "inside" could have found his personal blog and tried spooking him, which could have been the final straw for him. or, the account being deleted could be completely unrelated to the weird comment. all of this can be found here (same link i posted previously)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
months after deleting their blog, shitsubou shita begins posting under a new url "iamthemodernprometheus" (but still under the pen name "shitsubou shita" or "ss" as fans called him)
in his new blog, and similarly to F.T. Willz years later, he still leaves plenty of crumbs for fans to figure out it's him. screenshot sources are below
latin heading: his page had a latin heading that when translated, reads "keep the faith"
bio on blogspot: "industry - chemicals", and "you dont stop playing cos you get oldā€¦you get old cos you stop playing" both sound suspiciously personal to frank
his url choice: "the modern prometheus" is the full title of mary shelley's frankenstein. frankenstein is a character that frank has always deeply resonated with due to his namesake, love of horror, and being born on halloween
spelling of wierd: SS and frank both spell "weird" as "wierd"
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i think he enjoyed the mystery of having a secret online persona, which eventually led to the creation of F.T. Willz in 2008. it seems like wanted to leave just enough evidence for people to suspect it was him, but not enough to prove it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
here are some snippets of 2007 era discourse about the identity of "ss" and their deleted blog. you can find all of these comments and more context here. this was around the time gerard got married and fans felt like the dynamic on stage was different, and they were concerned about the future of the band. it's a LOT to go over so i would advise reading the comments if you want more perspective
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
on the next page, an anonymous comment is posted which fans immediately begin to speculate is SS (frank). again, if you click the link you can get way more context than i'm able to provide here.
this insinuates that SS frequented the comments on mayo's blog, which i don't think he would have done without believing/knowing mayo is gerard
Tumblr media Tumblr media
there was a lot discussed in this thread including pretty solid evidence that frank/ss wrote the ancient and historic "eliza post"
if you are not aware of the eliza cuts drama, that's a totally different and equally as insane rabbit hole you'll have to research on your own
tldr; she is gerard's mentally unstable ex-fiance who he was engaged to very shortly before lindsey
gerard and eliza got engaged on may 22, 2007 (the last show of the black parade tour) according to this reddit comment.
the "eliza post" went up on june 4, 2007. here is the post in its entirety:
"Hi I felt I had to write to you guys to allay some of your fears regarding the rumours and speculation surrounding Gerard and Eliza and the future of the band. This is the only time I will ever post. I will not be able to respond to your comments or enter into discussion or debate on what I'm about to say. We are aware that this is one of the most popular message boards for MCR fans and we know you guys are the most dedicated and loyal fans in the world. It saddens me to see such division amongst the fans over one woman. If it's any consolation, you guys are not the only ones affected. She is merely tolerated by both band and crew. Believe me, nothing anyone can say will change his mind. She's been the cause of numerous conflicts and while we dont have to like it, we have to accept it, at least for the forseeable future. From day one this woman has had a hidden agenda - her manipulation knows no bounds. Some of you may find this difficult to believe but I assure you I have personally witnessed the two sides of this woman. Her so-called 'good deeds' are nothing more than PR exercises for his benefit. But he does not see what goes on behind closed doors. We have tried to draw his attention to her blatant self-promotion and diva demands. This is a prime example of love being blind. His feelings for her do run very deep. Her feelings for him, however, are questionable at best. Many people believe, including myself, that he is being used as nothing more than a stepping stone. It's disheartening to see someone you care about and have worked with for a very long time change as a person, becoming more detached and causing the group dynamic to change as a result. There have been conflicts and differences of opinions and compromises have had to be made She does not accompany the band on the European legs of the tour. Since being on this current European leg, he seems much happier which suggest she doesnt make him as happy as he thinks. Despite being asked more than once to remain discreet, she blatantly disregards his wish to keep his personal life private by continually fuelling the internet hype. The band has always been about the music and the fans. This will not change. MCR have never endorsed any type of clique as it encourages and promotes the kind of high school mentality that MCR have always fought against. Your continued support is appreciated and rest assured this woman will have no adverse affect on the band and the music. For obvious reasons I am remaining anonymous. Eliza, we know you trawl these message boards and you probably know who I am - but I'd like to see you try and prove it!!!"
it's clear that whoever wrote this had a very strong distaste for eliza and was deeply troubled by the idea of gerard marrying her. based on the language used and style of writing, i strongly believe frank wrote this post. i'll be circling back to this in a minute, because i have a little more to go over.
for more evidence that SS is frank, we can reference this reddit comment made just 9 months ago by someone heavily involved in the blogspot community at the time, kapunua. their username on this post is "ReallyKapu."
if you read through the comment links I provided earlier, you may see their name pop up. they are also mentioned by name on the "iamthemodernprometheus" blog. if you also search "kapunua mcr" on google, you can verify their involvement in the blogspot community at the time.
kapunua is also mentioned in its-mayonaise's post here (no screenshot provided for this one, its just a small mention)
there's also a screenshot of a different comment kapunua made about 9 years ago with similar information. i found the screenshot here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
evidence that "mayo" is gerard
as mentioned in the post above, mayo often used british english syntax in his posts. he also posted about some pretty juicy stuff including a blowjob poem (you can seek that out yourself)
using british english isn't out of the ordinary for gerard. he often used an accent on stage during this time. moreover, he is a writer who has written multiple characters with this type of accent, showing he has a certain appeciation for it. i think his persona for the "mayo" account could been a sort of character he put on to disguise his idenity.
if you decide to view mayo's blog, you'll see each post has nothing but comments from mcr fans exclusively. i find it very interesting that the writer of its-mayonaise never bothered to make a post saying "hey, btw, i'm not gerard" in the 4 years this blog was run for
we have somewhat less definitive evidence that gerard is mayo. however, it is clear that at the very least, they had to have been someone involved with MCR or their crew at the time.
mayo makes a post alluding to their identity here, which you can find in the first screenshot below. this section sounds a lot like something gerard would write:
"I have been asked to reveal myself to you.Ā You all know me. I am whoever you want me to be, I am an artist, a poet, a singer, a motherfucker, and a contradiction, a mouthpiece, a friend, and an enemy, a brother, an informant, a whipping boy, a basket case, a queen, and a criminal...(credit to John Hughes.)"
there are THOUSANDS of comments, many of which speculate the identity of mayo on each of his blogspot posts. you should definitely do your own detective work and see what you think, because there is far too much info to go through here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
a frerard theory
as i previously mentioned, frank had deleted his original blog for shitsubou-shita in late september. however, prior to this, he made and then deleted some particularly turbulent and questionable posts
for context, the frerard fight happened on august 22, 2007, and gerard and lindsey got married on september 3, 2007 (just four months after gerard was engaged to eliza)
gerard and lindsey are married on the last night of the projekt revolution tour.
mcr takes a break for one month after this, where we can probably safely assume that freshly-married gerard and frank did not plan on seeing one another.
i think this was very troubling for frank for many different reasons. gerard had just freed himself of the eliza situation and here he was making the same mistake again. he was on the verge of losing his dearest friend yet again, and i believe that despite his best efforts, he could not get through to gerard.
obviously, gerard and lindsey are still married to this day. however, many fans might be aware of what happened between her and mikey. there's also a lot of other questionable information about lindsey circling the web, but that's a different story for another time.
weeks later, similarly to the eliza situation, shitsubou-shita makes and deletes the following posts on his original blog (this was prior to the creation of iamthemodernprometheus):
Friday, September 21, 2007 Abandon hope, all who enter here... What the fuck happened? Why didn't I see this coming? I made a point to keep out of it this time, but at what cost? I'm trapped between a rock and a hard place, it's a lose/lose situation. I've always been honest with you, shouldn't that work both ways? What's with the double standards? People are starting to notice. I'm not talking about kids, I'm talking about people in their mid 20's and 30's. People with life experience who can see the cracks starting to show. What am I supposed to say? I just dont have the answers. How can I reassure them when I need reassurance myself?
he says "i made a point to keep out of it this time" which seems like a reference to the situation with eliza i mentioned previously. he alludes to the idea that fans are beginning to notice the band's dynamic is not the same anymore. this was specifically around the time when "frerard" moments came to a pretty abrupt end.
he says "i've always been honest with you, shouldn't that work both ways?" which can be interpreted in a few different ways. he may feel deceived due to his best friend's sudden marriage. however, the intensity of the language used in this post shows he probably had some very intense feelings toward the situation.
it seems like the writer was having a considerably difficult time coping with these feelings. a day later, this post is made:
Saturday, September 22, 2007 Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Bullshit. I've always been a smart ass, even as a child, although my mom would prefer to use the term precocious. I've always had trouble keeping my mouth shut, I'm an open book, completely ingenuous - secrecy and circumvention are not my style. But then I've never experienced extreme paranoia. So I'm writing this blog. I know you will never read it, I wouldn't want you to. Not everything is about you. This blog is for ME, a perverse catharsis, I need this right now to preserve the small amount of sanity I have left. A blog fuelled by disappointment, frustration, confusion and dejection. I am not laying the blame at your door. The burden of blame is mine. I didn't speak up soon enough. I didn't want to rock the boat, I've been there before. I didn't want to fight or endure days of being given the silent treatment. Its not fair on the others. Why do you always make everyone feel like they have to take sides? If I had been a better friend, I would have stepped in regardless of the consequences. I acted selfishly because I didn't want to lose you, but ironically, I may have lost you anyway. I meant every word I said at the diner and although I didnt show it, your smirk and glib response hurt me more than you will ever know. I don't know who you are anymore. I cant seem to find the right words. Nothing I say seems to reach you. You are wrong. I DO care. I love you. I refuse to give up on you and I refuse to let you push me away. I am going to fight for our friendship, you aren't the only one with a stubborn streak. We are in this together, for the long haul, I promise. I want my friend back. I miss him.
it seems like whatever the writer is feeling toward the subject of this post goes beyond the boundaries of a typical friendship. the final paragraph says everything we need to know.
we can assume that based on this post's mention of meeting a diner, that frank and gerard likely met up during their month-long break to talk about the way things went down
lastly, i know there's at least one interview floating or blog post around where frank says he was a difficult teen and a pain in the ass as a kid, but i can't find it right now. if anyone has the link to that i would love to add it here, because i remember it sounding pretty similar to that first paragraph.
Sunday, September 23, 2007 Is the pen really mightier than the sword? And so you continue to blog, as do I. The difference is, I am not hurting anyone. I'm just trying to gain some perspective while you are publicly making a fool of yourself. Your words are hungrily devoured and dissected by the masses, you seem to revel in the chaos and controversy. At the moment your identity is pure speculation, but have you thought about the consequences if anyone was able to prove your identity? Not just for you, but for all of us? Have you lost your mind? How can you be so selfish? You have become a self obsessed megalomaniac. I know what I get out of writing my blogs - but what do you get out of writing yours? Do you even bother to read the comments? Some of those comments break my heart. These aren't just nameless, faceless strangers, these are real people with real lives and real feelings. These are the people that allowed us to bring our music into their lives. These are the people that we see on tour, the people that wait outside for hours in the cold and rain just to meet us, the people that write us letters and make us scrapbooks, the people who care enough to bake us cookies and brownies, the people that send us birthday cards and bizarre, crazy ass gifts, the people that have given us their love and support, the people that cheer us on, the people that made us. Why are you so hellbent on destroying not only yourself, but everyone who loves you? You wanna see how far down I can sink? Your mom called last night - and I lied to her. After everything she has done for us, I lied to her. How do you think that made me feel? Do you even care?
this last post, for me, solidifies the identities behind each blog. it is so clear through the details in this post. to me, it seems like frank was hurting so bad, and in such a vulnerable place, that he completely let his guard down and made this post.
the mcr lyric included "You wanna see how far down I can sink?" is undoubtedly mind-boggling and speaks volumes to how carelessly obvious frank was (maybe intentionally?) willing to be
there's so much to unpack in this post and i honestly can't even begin to wrap my head around it. i would love to hear anyone's opinion!
later in the post, it seems clear that he is referencing the iam-mayonaise blog and gerard's seemingly wreckless posting. but mostly, i think he was lashing out due to pain of betrayal after losing the closest person to him and someone he deeply loves not once, but twice.
again, it's hard to believe how obvious he was being here, but i really think it was a result of the pain/suffering he felt
if you scroll back up to the first screenshot of this post, you can circle back around to when he removed his entire profile after making this final post, eventually rebranding to "iamthemodernprometheus"
the its-mayonaise account makes this post on september 30, seemingly as a response. the title could apply to frank, who as we all know, was gerard's best friend and right-hand man. the rest of this post can be interpreted in many different ways, so you can make whatever you want out of it:
Tumblr media
however, the last paragraph does give me pause... i would love to see/create a full analysis of this post, but i'm trying to stick to facts here so you can form your own judgement
after gerard's wedding and mcr's month long break, they play two shows in mexico (oct 4 & 7, 2007) and then the hoboken show takes place, where frank yells "lie to me" during i'm not okay and seems very low energy and unlike himself
i believe things gradually improved between them after this point, but i'm not sure if their connection was ever completely the same.
conclusion/my opinion
coupled with all of the other available evidence about gerard/frank's tumultuous friendship/relationship/situationship, i think this information strongly alludes to the idea that at the very least, frank had some very intense feelings for gerard that were not fully reciprocated. i would love to hear what anyone else's opinion is on this topic, because it definitely isn't discussed often
i think it's completely heartbreaking (especially with everything else we know) but i do think their incredible connection is a massive contributing factor to mcr's legacy
if you notice any inconsistencies in this post or have any questions, please send me a message! i want to keep this as consistent, comprehensible, and well-sourced as i can!
lastly please follow me if you liked this! i spent months researching and compiling sources for this post and i would so appreciate it <3

I wanna take a second to go over this whole Gerard in their home studio with a producer thing if no one hasnā€™t already, cause I noticed something last night that I havenā€™t seen anyone bring up.
Tumblr media
Looking at his bio, we obviously know heā€™s a producer. But thereā€™s another really important thing to note here as well.
Heā€™s also a mixer/engineer, a mixing engineer basically. Why is this important?
Take a look at the definition of a mixing engineer below:
Tumblr media
So this could mean two things:
MCR5 is done recording and is in the mixing process, meaning we should expect it to release within a few months
MCR5 isnā€™t done recording but the band is ready to drop a new single (more than likely Eagles) within the next few weeks/months- if itā€™s in the next few weeks, it would fall perfectly with the last day of summer theory
We already knew they were doing something together when Frank remained in LA after the Dunes tour ended. And we also got that fortune cookie from him.
Tumblr media
The fortune cookie in question, which he posted on his ig story on August 18th.
And what did he post on his ig page 3 months before Foundations dropped?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He posted that fortune cookie on February 18th, 2022. 3 months before they dropped Foundations. Foundations dropped on May 12th, 2022.
So weā€™re obviously getting something within the next few weeks to months, without a doubt!
After all, Frank did say that MCR is an active band. And MCR branded the whole tour as a return, not a reunion.
We also saw them write Eagles in front of our own eyes at the various shows they performed Eagles at.
MCR5 is happening and has been happening. And it may be here sooner than we think.

Whatā€™s crazy about them mentioning the Japan wedding conspiracy is the fact that yeah they didnā€™t even shut it down (like they did with the October 19th/MCR concert thing) but also the fact that Dan didnā€™t react the way he always does, rolling his eyes in fake annoyance. Now, I am sure keeping the mystery is also part of the whole Marketing Strategy for the tour but.. what the fuck is there to address? are they gonna give us their opinions about marriage? In a ā€œno we didnā€™t get married also marriage is not our thing blah blahā€ way or maybe theyā€™re gonna be like ā€œno you were wrong, we simply got engaged there šŸ¤­ā€
it's the fact they didn't deny it. didn't dance around it. no snorfing or awkward backpedaling. they love to make fun of us lately for shit like this--i was ready for it! and instead. phil said we miGHT. followed by the largest pause in the world. before continuing to say they'd ADDRESS IT?? ON TOUR??? what do you mean. this implies there's something to address. like i said in my tags, they're not the mean-spirited type. it's not their MO. they like to tease us, sure, but it's all in good fun. going on stage and saying 'no we didn't why would you think that' would be fun for aBSOLUTELY NO ONE. including themselves! they like when we're a little crazy. they like how much we care and want the best for them. this tour is about celebrating this new run and defining the now and the future. the only reason they're gonna talk about it is if it has some sort of significance or funny tie-in. and the way in which they brought it up... phil's we might... dan's 'wot, the lack of a ring? šŸ™„'.... now that the wedding-theory seal is broken, i'm more terrified about what they're gonna say about it.

A guide to the Universal Truth, Strange Aeons is the Muppet Joker.
Tumblr media
This post is long, like about 2k words.
To begin we must begin at the beginning, while my second unmask post is a bit old at this point is it still the centre of it all, every post of the muppet joker, can be traced back to this post. You can see it as the Point of return, the point where everything always goes back and connects with the rest of the Muppetsaga. Now from this post, we can connect everything I ever posted about the universal Truth. May it be about the reason as to why Athena is named like this, likes MCR and why her ā€œrealā€ name is Maya. The Muppet jokers, NFT HIVliving Confession can be traced back to this post. What I want to say is that this post is important to understand the universal Truth.
With that important point out of the way, lets do some history. On the 11th of July 2024, I posted my first ever Strange is the muppet joker post, THEY ARE THE SAME STRANGE AEONS IS THE MUPPET JOKER Quickly it was reblogged by the Muppet joker, with him commenting ā€œAs I have said many times before: I run almost every blog on Tumblr, including your blog, @unmask-strange-aeons. This is no secret. Please get with the times. ā€œThis ignited a fire that would never stop, new followers rushed in on mass, now that many people donā€™t know, is that while all of this was going down on Tumblr, I was in the strange aeons discord server, spreading the universal Truth, with many others showing interest in the Truth. Not long after I posted my @strange-aeonsĀ is theĀ @the-muppet-joker post, the central post, which quickly gathered the attention of the People not only on Tumblr, but also on the strange discord server, where in face of this revelation, the people quickly demanded an answer of Father Strange, now importantly, she stayed quite on discordā€¦ On the Tumblr side of things, the post had taken off and quickly it was making its round in the Muppetverse. Ā And the Muppet Joker quickly was made aware of the post where he commented: ā€œNo one will ever believe youā€ now while this was going on the discord became louder and louder until Strange finally gave an answerā€¦ by commenting under my Tumblr post.
Tumblr media
She commented the same as the muppet jokerā€¦ the discord at this moment, exploded, with peopleā€™s confusion about this going wild. While all of this happened, I enacted phase 2 of my plan. You see while my first unmask post was aimed to get the universal truth to the people, it was also designed to get the interest of the muppet joker, I knew that strange would never directly talk to me about this, so my goal was to trick the muppet joker to talk to me. So, I created a fake Unmask Discord server with the goal of tricking the muppet joker into joiningā€¦ which they did.
But back to Tumblr for a while, you see while all of this was going down on discord, the Tumblr post was reblogged by @statleragainstposers who reblogged saying ā€œIntriguing... Unfortunately, I already have my theory that the Croaker is Tara Gillesbie, author of My Immortal. Although I do think that he is a fan of Mr Mrs Strange Aeons. Either way, I am glad to have another Rational Thinker in the Croakerverse. Expect to hear from me soon...ā€œ
Ā Which the Muppet Joker reblogged saying ā€œA FAN????????I PUT HER IN MY DNI. I MADE A WHOLE HATEFUL CALLOUT POST. To imply that this entire time I have secretly been a fan of her content???????? WRONG AND FOOLISH. ā€œ
And after that the post exploded, having the universal truth in front of all the muppet joker followers? I gained hundreds of followers soon after.
Now we can go back to the Muppet Joker in my discord server, we had a talk, where after, he confessed of being Strange Aeons. I am in talks with the muppet joker.
Tumblr media
And one day later something shall begin which I never escape, itā€™s a trend you could say, ā€œUnmask? You want to unmask strange aeons? You first need to unmask yourself... Father Strange!ā€ Accusing me of being Strange Aeons? A trend which should never die. Even now I am getting accused of being her. But back to the Muppet.
13th July
People begin to see the universal truth and I got asks like THIS. People came together to find gems like THIS. Or more People acknowledging the truth like THIS.
This is whyĀ @strange-aeonsĀ made a youtube video aboutĀ @the-muppet-joker. Itā€™s a post about exactly what it sounds like. This also is the begin of Strange Aeons Propaganda machine. (this will be a trend)
MORE accusations that I am Strange. This is the 2nd time.
Now for the next bit I need you all to remember that all of this started during the start of the Apartmentsaga, you know when he ran away from home and lived together with, Athena, Saga and Milton. Because Athena might just be the 2nd character in this that is most like Strange Aeons, from her love to MCR to so much more.
14th July
THIS, Which is an ask asking me if I considered that Athena is much like Andy Blake from Stranges, 2 Videos (The Historic Fandom Schemes Of BitOfEarth.net and Thanfiction & The Cult of DAYD) which would be far from the last time that Athena would fit into Character of the Strange Canon nor of Strange herself.
16th July
THIS is a quick summary of all the Strange Canon that was utilised in the Creation of the croaker Movement. Ā 
17th July. The Glass of Blood
Now I will talk about this ā€œGlass of Bloodā€ a bit.
1st The glass of blood is just a ā€œI am not Okayā€ reference 2nd . In THIS post and THIs I basically debunked the entire ā€œglass of Blood business.
18th July, is it Blood? NO!
THIS, is about why it canā€™t be blood in that glass.
19th JulyTHIS, someone pointed out that all the reddit posts sound the same, and the Muppet Commented:

THIS, is the first but most importantly not the last art piece about the universal truth.
27th july, more accusations
THIS, the 3rd time I was accused in my asks of being Strange Aeons.
31st july, I made a Discord. THIS now the new discord age is a long one, with a lot of things happeningā€¦ Stuff that I havnt yet even mentioned on Tumblr. And I will tell all of you now. First off all soon after creating this the Muppet Joker Joined with THIS
Tumblr media
Now the Muppet Joined and soon after began to spam my discordā€¦ so I put him into Time Out, so unable to write in the discord he sent me an ask instead which lead to me getting spammed that way soon after. THIS is the post.
Now with all the Muppet of that day out of the way, lets talk more about the discord server, it grew, and soon many interesting people joind the discord, from muppet followers toā€¦ Strange Aeons Patreons? Yes, some of Strange Aeons Patreons came over to my Server and declared: we are to help you. Does this could as a civil war inside of the strange Empire? I do Hope it does. There help would come to my benefit from time to time again. While Strange had her Empire, I began to grow the unmask Realm, but more to that later because thatā€™s spoiler.

But before that, THIS, is the 6th time of my getting accuse of being Strange Aeons, now back to the Video. THIS is an ask asking me if Strange knows about my existence, which yes. THIS, is Stranges Statement about us, its here that her propaganda machine really takes off, what she is saying is ā€œI couldnā€™t be that muppet joker, I am just a fanā€ what she is doing is ā€œLook at this, donā€™t look at thatā€

THIS and THAT basically Strange is Bethany and itā€™s so obvious.
So where does this leave us? The Muppet Joker confessed 2 times of being Strange. Strange ā€œpredictedā€ Cough Spoiled cough the resurrection of the Muppet Joker like Jesus. She isnā€™t even hiding it anymore.
Now I could go on and on about this I have made 170 posts about this. If I say I could go on for weeks about this, I mean. But I have noticed that many people want to get into this and just donā€™t know where to start so here have a list.
Strange Aeons is the Muppet Joker, pass it on.

this is so stupid and far fetched
ok so i went ahead and searched DRAAG on google and found out about this 1973 science fiction film "Fantastic Planet". DRAAG on this planet, Ygam, are basically blue creatures with pretty long-life spans who can alter their appearances during meditation ceremonies led by the Grand council. So, the DRAAG society is governed by the Grand Council, they represent the hierarchical pinnacle of legislation and direct the spiritual life for the entire Draag civilization. They're kind of the leaders of the planet Ygam. This Grand Council consists of five members.
Tumblr media
this is a picture of the Grand Council (which looks prettyyyyy familiar). Also i have no clue where the fifth council member is at in this, this only pic i could find. ANYWAY basically, the Grand Council are cruel and apathetic to the suffering of theĀ Om'sĀ - who are a sentient species like themselves however smaller in stature. Oms are not originally from this planet but were brought from the planetĀ Terra.
So, i think they may have taken some inspiration from certain aspects of this storyline. Like maybe The Black Parade was taken to MOAT, similar to how the Oms were brought from Terra to Ygam. On Ygam, Oms are kind of forced to act as pets and inferior beings to the DRAAGS. You could definitely draw a connection to how the dictators portrayed in MCR's recent posts are forcing The Black Parade (IN THEORY IN THEOOORRYYYY), to perform for them (or like perform for people idk just performing maybe not necessarily for them) in MOAT, similar to the role of Oms in the planet Ygam. In short, they both have that inferiority role in the hands of authoritarian leaders, kind of kept captive sort of part in the storyline. They're both captured from one place to another (Ygam and MOAT in this case) for captivity and control. I still don't really know what MOAT means but it could be a different location where The Black Parade has been forced to go?? Idrk
If I wanted to go supppppppppperrrrrr far i could say that IF they used some inspiration from Fantastic Planets, you could predict some things that might happen next. In Fantastic Planets, Oms eventually rebel against the DRAAG dictatorship, which could maybe sort of kind be possible with the Black Parade too? The Black Parade could come together (as the Oms do) and rebel against the DRAAG dictatorship and gain freedom again. This is SO far tho im just thinking. In Fantastic Planets, very similar to MCR's new lore, there are obviously some political undertones about oppression, elitism, and fascism. I cant say what these are exactly in regard to MCR's recent posts, but in Fantastic Planets, these themes are portrayed through the authoritarian rule of the DRAAGS and subjugation of the Oms. So, you could use your own theories and interpretation of the MCR lore to make connections to these themes.
Im honestly not super sure about this AT ALL this isn't like a crazy theory or break through or anything, but I found the connections kind of interesting but ik this is so far-fetched so don't take it too seriously at all LMAO. Also, I've never even watched the movie and there are some parts of it I'm leaving out I just kind of wrote down what I thought related to MCR's new lore. But the general idea of Fantastic Planet kind of struck me as a little similar. Also, it makes A LITTLE bit of sense since Gerard Way is really into sci-fi (not confirming anything just an observation). Who knows tho

My personal MCR theory after the tour announcement:
This is setting up for MCR5. The new album is a continuation of the world building from TBP and these tours are explaining it to us to get us ready for the new album.
Also, ten locations, ten new songs + foundations. 11 is the average number of songs in an albumā€¦
