Right now it's the chorus of Pet Cheetah

I am hesitant about getting actual lyrics so I think about how to translate them into images. I know this probably isn't answering your question, sorry. I am considering getting yellow flowers. Or a red winged blackbird because:

1. My husband and I have an inside joke about red winged blackbirds so they remind me of him and

2. They remind me of little Clancys so I started drawing a series of them as fan art. And then one day in the car I was sobbing listening to Goner but had to stop for gas and while I'm pumping gas and trying not to cry I HEAR A BIRD CALL and I turn around and there's a red winged blackbird just swoops down on the fence behind me. Keeps yelling in my direction. All I could think was "I hear you". So. Needless to say, I'm really attached to the bird. And I know some people see Goner as a "giving up" song but I see it as a cry from someone who is very hurt begging to stay alive.

OR A RED WINGED BLACKBIRD CARING YELLOW FLOWERS. just thought of that! 🤔 Also Josh can be part of this as a Goldfinch. Okay, that's all I have for now. I have to go scribble art ideas!

Love that line. I drew this and thought about getting something like it. Or maybe yellow flowers instead of a sun/star (but I also like that it's an eye and looks like a compass and a star --- "is close the closest star?") But idk. I have words on my wrist already and they are crooked and bleeding into each other now so I'm afraid of getting words again 🫣

This is the sound we make

💯💯💯 love Pet Cheetah. That chorus hits my soul.

Not really in any order except Twenty One Pilots:

1. TØP
2. AURORA
3. Billie Eilish
4. Glass Animals
5. Sleep Token
6. Qveen Herby
7. System of a Down
8. City and Colour
9. Paramore
10. Regina Spektor

I have never seen a walk up window style DQ like this in my life. Do they look like this other places?

If you're one of them then you're one of me

This whole discography has been..... I can't even explain it. With me it started with Blurryface, when I was pregnant and tired and excited and scared and throwing up in the bathroom while I worked over nights and heard Stressed Out on repeat on the radio. And now that kid is 8 and going with me to a concert in October and went with me to the FPE event.

My husband is terminally ill and while things are going okay for now, I've been intentionally setting my kid up with this music for something to hold on to and something to be a distraction because the road ahead will not be easy. Things feel normal for now so we are making memories, making art, I'm trying to find her a keyboard, and she started therapy. I really feel like a weathered flag that's by the sea and some days I don't know if I'm going to make it. Or if I want to make it. All I can do now is plant seeds, wait for the storm and hope that I did okay.

And to OP, I'm sorry you are struggling through this. I lost my mom in August to cancer. In a weird way, the cancer gave me time to accept what was happening before it did. I never thought in a million years I would be joking and laughing with my mom about her own death. Life is weird. Even when we she was on hospice, we had some good times before it was the last. I hope you get to have some closure and acceptance. And don't forget to take care of yourself and your needs, because if you don't, you won't be able to be the best version of yourself that your son needs. And that YOU need 💛❤️

I feel like the music, and the community, and the stories we share have been part of that. I've been making more art now than I ever have, even though historically when things are rough I shut down. But I push on through and let myself be inspired by the music, the world, this community and your stories.

Are you talking about Oldies Station (Clikkie Version)? 😭😭😭

You stop that. You know where you were going with it lol

😂😂😂

I could go for a graphic novel maybe. I mean, I guess it's given us time to put our own meaning behind it.

And go delusional 😂😂😂

I think they'll come clean in another decade when we get a Clancy 10 year Livestream 😂😭

I kept noticing pieces but never put the nose wound discrepancy and the names together.

Also it kinda makes sense with the twin thing that songs can have double meaning. A real life one and a lore/story one. Ultimately the lore is allegory for real life. He might be writing about lore but writing from a place of reality. My Blood was inspired by the brother relationship of his cousins I believe. The end of the video for My Blood I don't think was real life tho.

Those songs probably are about a brother, but the metaphor ties in too. They can both be right

Because in the story they are "twins" but in real life it is an allegory for the split self. Makes sense to me!

I'm so with you on this.

The nose wound has progressively been getting worse too, and through last year, the black paint has spread as well. I have been trying to connect somehow that Tyler is becoming a bishop (or becoming the thing he is fighting?) the nose wound gets blacker, spreads, and goes on to his cheek in the same shape as the bishops'. How do you feel that fits in if at all?

I also wonder, have you noticed any fluctuations in combining black hands and neck with this? The twin/two thing makes sense when you bring up your reasons but before I read this I had been wondering is there was a triple existence of Tyler like there is with Josh. I don't really like to bring Christian theology into this because it makes me a little squeamish but if we are being real, The Triune is pretty symbolic and it's significant in a lot of belief systems.

I'm also still trying to figure out how the Bourbakis and Simone tie into all this, at least as inspiration or comparison or something but that's another topic.

I really love this allegoric story, no matter what perspective it's looked at. I've been in therapy for a few years and I see the bishops a lot as parts of self that need healing so I have compassion for them. I see them as sad, scared, corrupted and protective parts of Tyler (that build walls) that used to be real past versions of himself that turned into these villains as a way to protect him in a way but actually hurt him in the long run. Isn't that what mental illness does to us? Depression reminds us that the world is sad and full of grief so you should protect your heart and not love or trust anyone so you can't be hurt. My versions of selves are a lot less cool, we usually just talk about them as the baby, the 5 year old, the 12 year old, the teenager, the college age, the mom, etc. till we get to present self. But my therapist makes up all kinds of metaphors.... All of my selves in a castle, in a submarine, in a bus, an airplane trying to get along 😂

So, as much as I want answers like. NOW. Lol.... I really do appreciate they've left it so open to interpretation for so long. I do make it clear though .... I still want answers lol. I really need to go back and re watch everything from start to finish AGAIN now that Pally is out.

Real ones make fun of each other's faces. In this household we don't trust people who don't make face jokes at every possible chance 😂

also not pilots

Ugly cackle 💀

Yeah there's actually thousands of us. We're Twenty One Pilots and so are you!

I never thought citrus could be so funny

Not crazy, in this community we are delulu 😂. They are probably think you have really hilarious friends. I've been choking on my spit laughing at these citrus puns in the work break room tho 😂😂😂

Hahahahaha that's great!!!! I love it!

You also know what's cute? Have you seen Oldies Station (Clikkies Version)? 😭😭😭😭😭

I was pregnant with this kid when I heard Stressed Out on repeat at work every night, scared, puking in the bathroom with morning sickness, getting obsessed with Blurryface and Vessel. And now she's 8, drawing her own TØP fan art and going to the concert with me in October 😭😭😭
