Teenagehood is waiting. Waiting for a place of your own, waiting for money, waiting for a car and waiting for surgeries to make your body feel like yours the way it did when you were a fish or a horse or a lizard all those years ago. Waiting for a mustache. But also waiting for your turn. Teenagerhood is this nagging feeling that you're missing out on something, wind rushing through your scalp as you shift your body weight off the edge of the dangerously quick merry-go-round. You wonder, is it safe to get off yet? Is it safe to jump? Teenagerhood is waiting for your turn to be happy. Waiting for your turn to have friends. Waiting in line at the gas station. Waiting for your homework to be graded. Your body is slowly changing, but in ways that make it feel uncomfortably fast, and never when you want it to or how you want it to. So you're stuck waiting. And looking at the sunset. And laying in piles of dirty clothes. And fighting the urge to pick up smoking. Waiting for the apocalypse so you can live in the desert in a van with the classmate you like the best. Waiting, then hitting the ground running when the sirens start to blare.

Hey Tumblr

so... have I ever showed you guys my Cool Jacket™️ ?

I made it last summer, mostly in the week when I had covid and I've been adding stuff ever since. The idea was to make like a battle jacket in the style of MCR's DangerDays but still suitable to wear casually.

I'll add even more music and fandom references in the future so stay tuned.

GENIUS! THIS IS GENIUS! the exact intersection of things I love thank you for this

I would like to present: Pirate Killjoycore! I’m pretty sure I’m not the first person to suggest pirates in the Danger Days ‘verse*–after all, we know that east of Battery City, the desert is full of runaways fighting BLI, but there’s all that ocean to the west unaccounted for. Why wouldn’t some ‘joys run off to sea instead of the desert, steal some boats, and carry on the fight on the other front? 

So, I wanted to try and capture how the Killjoy vibe might play out on the pirate side of things. I figure some ‘joys steal big yachts and graffiti them up and manage to run them off of the same mystical fuel source cars in the Zones run on. Maybe others who can’t get the magic gas thing to work for them or who don’t want to rely on fuel patchwork together sails from scraps of fabric, graffiti those, and cobble together some rigging–and maybe some were lucky enough to grab up actual Tall Ships for that authentic Pirate Vibe.

If you’re a pirate ‘joy, of course, your boat will also be your crew’s home, so I figure they’re pretty cozy and colorful inside, too (and probably pretty cluttered, but in a homey way). As far as Pirate Killjoy fashion, I imagine it’s as bright, chaotic, and colorful as its counterpart Zones fashion, except naturally more pirate-inspired, with long swishy coats and big hats. 

I have a lot more Pirate Killjoycore pictures saved that didn’t make it into this moodboard, too, so let me know if there’s something specific you’d like to see more of! I can always make posts with individual pictures, too; my standard moodboard formatting wasn’t working this time since I needed my pictures to be different widths and heights for this one, so I had to make it elsewhere, hence why it’s all one image, but if you want to see one or more pictures closer, let me know. 

Seriously though feel free to ask me about Pirate Killjoys and related aesthetics! I am very slow about answering asks but I do have many thoughts about this :)

night swimming is something that will always have a special place in my heart. diving into gross pools fully clothed, your freshly dyed hair leaking dye all over your face, your makeup rubbing off and around your eyes, making you look crazy in the darkness. sneaking up behind your mates to scare them, clinging to eachother in the frigid water for warmth. freezing your ass off and scrambling to get back to the diner to change clothes and all curl up in a pile together in the middle of the floor because you can't stop shaking, but you're all just a giggly mess.

Oh hey I used this picture in my pirate killjoycore moodboard a while back! I believe the original artist is Dave Pollot if I got my attribution correct. It's a beautiful piece :)

A list of things that just feel very killjoycore to me:

Laying on the floor

Sleeping on a couch way too stiff and not meant to be slept on, but it still being better than any other option you got

Riding shotgun/sitting the backseat at 2 am and looking out onto the empty highway

Trying to record your favourite songs when they come on the radio

Exploring abandoned buildings with your friends

Sunsets

The crunch of dust and pebbles underfoot

Crying alone at 3 am

The smell of hairdye

Cassettes

Making shitty posters for your and/or your friend's favourite bands

Light from lamp posts reflecting off the wet concrete

Neon signs in the windows of dingy shops

White noise

The feeling you're home when you're with your friends

Finally seeing the stars properly again after living in the city for a long time

Keeping bottlecaps and can tabs

Doing your very own makebelief tightrope routine along an old train tracks

Music so loud in shakes the ground beneath you

Art that proudly displays every damn clashing color of the rainbow

Getting paint on yourself as well as on everything you love and own

Wanting to run away

Campfires

Old public phones/telephone booths pretty much buried under faded stickers and paint

Zines barely held together by poorly-sewn stitches

Ductaping anything and everything that breaks

Worn-out jackets starting to come apart and jeans that are more patches than actual jeans

Dry throat

Painting everything you own out of sheer boredom

Gravel digging in your palms when you fall down

Headphones that came straight out of the 90s and early 2000s

Starting your own shitty punk band

Picking up things that will probably give you five different diseases by just looking at it because you can and want to see it closer

Bandaids on scraped knees

Smiley face stickers in neon colors

I love seeing danger days based art but what we're NOT gonna do is fucking whitewash the girl.
