I am too stupid to actually think of something to contribute to this theory but it does make sense to me 🤔
I THINK I KNOW WHO THE OPERA WOMAN IS!!!!!!!!
so if you haven't listened to mama, or if you haven't seen the trailer titled "opera" then i suggest going and doing that first, because these will be the center of my theory, however i am going to paste images of what im talking about here, so you can get away without it.
the facts
now mama by my chem is about a soldier with a strained relationship with his mother and trying to apologize before he dies, we can glean this from these particular lines
and of course the mother feels the same way
and this line is specifically delivered with a classical singing style, you know what's a classical singing style
opera.
and this woman
looked like she was going to sing opera to the men in front of her, and her mouth made the movement, but instead we hear a distorted semi terrifying scream instead.
we also know that this city got destroyed in a war, but the question is a war with who?
now i specifically want to draw attention to the phrase "starved to death in a land of plenty"
in the words of MoonBoots4600 on reddit "Its actually a direct copy of a banner carried in the 1931 Unemployed March when families were dying despite being in the "land of the free""
(original banner)
the new tour trailer have imagery reminiscent of fascism, if this fascist government was limiting people rights, and causing the death and starvation of civilians, there would be an uprising? would there not. so i prepouse this.
the theory
i believe that the mother of the narrator in mama is actually the opera woman. the opera woman works for the government, and the son is apart of the rebellion. when the son dies this affect the rebellion strongly, and the mother must report this to the men seen in the video. the screaming is a metaphor for her grief as she tell the government what has happened, despite her neutral expression, she is angered for her son has died.
(i normally don't ask for reblogs but on this i am begging, i need people to see this and give me some second opinions. please reblog)
Good rant about Ray Toro (I just listened to Remember The Laughter and God.)
He's so, so, so ridiculously talented. Making an album almost all by himself, an amazing album at that, it's so, so admirable. It's easier said than done, making everything by yourself is so hard and he was so capable of doing it and he did such a beautiful job, cause Remember The Laughter is so beautiful. And let's not even talk about For The Lost And The Brave, which is so beautiful and heartbreaking, and the story behind is even more heartbreaking.
I love how you can tell the music he liked in every piece of art he did, cause it's so well done. As a guitarist, when I learnt to play Famous Last Words, I noticed so clearly how much Iron Maiden for example, inspired him in his music writing, that solo could perfectly be performed on a metal song. And that talks about how much he studied his own sound, other musicians sound, how he incorporated that in his own creations, everything. It's so beautiful to be able to recognise those little things.
And well, his song writing is absolutely beautiful, Isn't That Something is absolutely beautiful. He's such a talented person and usually overlooked, but he's so extremely talented, it's impossible to even put it into words, he's just amazing I love Ray Toro so much I love him
I'm disturbing JK Rowling for myself and especially for a friend of mine. I'm sending her cockroaches in her sleep, and horrific visions of her own deepest fears in her waking moments.
I've rarely seen a more validating sentence in my entire life.
hi I'm not really sure how to say this and I really hope it comes off as polite!! I wanted to let you know that the grammar in your blog header (not entirely sure what it's called but it says "A Random Little Shit Using Tumblr Way Past It's Peak") is a little off; it should be "its" not "it's"!!
I have no idea if you wanted it to be correct or not or if you already knew it was wrong but wanted it to stay that way but I just wanted to let you know! I promise I'm not trying to be rude or anything, btw you don't have to reply to this ask if you don't want to.
Anyways, I love your blog and hope you have a great day!!
Xoxo a fellow mcr lover<3
Hii thx 4 telling me! That wasn't on purpose, and I'm really glad that you pointed it out for me. I remember spending like 3 minutes trying to remember which one it was supposed to be and decided to go with my gut instinct, and uhm I turned out to be wrong :D. It's not rude at all so it's fine; I'm honestly kinda laughing at myself for making that mistake when I'm usually the annoying friend correcting people's grammar lol.
I'm glad you love the blog, that's so nice to hear and actually makes me pretty happy :)
I already said this but thx again for letting me know!!

pov you’re so far down the MCR rabbit hole that I keep reading the Milky Way as Mikey Way ðŸ˜
perhaps someone could make that an image?
So uhhhh if y'all don't know I am a ✨m i n o r✨ and so I can't get tickets by myself. I want to go. I apparently do not have the balls to tell my parents I wanna go. So what did I do? Well my dad just asked me to write down whatever I want for Christmas and I added that I would totally love to go to the MCR tour on there. I wrote a whole paragraph about it. I left that paper on his nightstand. He didn't realize until yesterday. So uh any chance of me going relies on my dad having read it and also agreeing with letting me go. Both very unlikely. So I'm fucked :D. I mean I didn't have anyone to go with in the first place and I can't drive myself a whole fucking 4 hours so....Yeah idk why I'm posting this I just don't have anyone to talk about this to lol

Hey so I made another quiz and tag game
Do this quiz I made and this picrew and then tag some ppl!
Here's my one:
@evry1h8s-me @castleburns @iridescentcrow @faint-i-wont-be-ignored @zombi-teeth @crypticpuffin (not forcing) // open tags!!
Cut fast fashion - buy used, learn to mend and/or make your own clothes, buy fewer clothes less often so you can save up for ethically made quality
Cancel subscriptions - relearn how to pirate media, spend $10/month buying a digital album from a small artist instead of on Spotify, stream on free services since the paid ones make you watch ads anyway
Green your community - there's lots of ways to do this, like seedbombing or joining a community garden or organizing neighborhood trash pickups
Be kind - stop to give directions, check on stopped cars, smile at kids, let people cut you in line, offer to get stuff off the high shelf, hold the door, ask people if they're okay
Intervene - learn bystander intervention techniques and be prepared to use them, even if it feels awkward
Get closer to your food - grow it yourself, can and preserve it, buy from a farmstand, learn where it's from, go fishing, make it from scratch, learn a new ingredient
Use opensource software - try LibreOffice, try Reaper, learn Linux, use a free Photoshop clone. The next time an app tries to force you to pay, look to see if there's an opensource alternative
Make less trash - start a compost, be mindful of packaging, find another use for that plastic, make it a challenge for yourself!
Get involved in local politics - show up at meetings for city council, the zoning commission, the park district, school boards; fight the NIMBYs that always show up and force them to focus on the things impacting the most vulnerable folks in your community
DIY > fashion - shake off the obsession with pristine presentation that you've been taught! Cut your own hair, use homemade cosmetics, exchange mani/pedis with friends, make your own jewelry, duct tape those broken headphones!
Ditch Google - Chromium browsers (which is almost all of them) are now bloated spyware, and Google search sucks now, so why not finally make the jump to Firefox and another search like DuckDuckGo? Or put the Wikipedia app on your phone and look things up there?
Forage - learn about local edible plants and how to safely and sustainably harvest them or go find fruit trees and such accessible to the public.
Volunteer - every week tutoring at the library or once a month at the humane society or twice a year serving food at the soup kitchen, you can find something that matches your availability
Help your neighbors - which means you have to meet them first and find out how you can help (including your unhoused neighbors), like elderly or disabled folks that might need help with yardwork or who that escape artist dog belongs to or whether the police have been hassling people sleeping rough
Fix stuff - the next time something breaks (a small appliance, an electronic, a piece of furniture, etc.), see if you can figure out what's wrong with it, if there are tutorials on fixing it, or if you can order a replacement part from the manufacturer instead of trashing the whole thing
Mix up your transit - find out what's walkable, try biking instead of driving, try public transit and complain to the city if it sucks, take a train instead of a plane, start a carpool at work
Engage in the arts - go see a local play, check out an art gallery or a small museum, buy art from the farmer's market
Go to the library - to check out a book or a movie or a CD, to use the computers or the printer, to find out if they have other weird rentals like a seed library or luggage, to use meeting space, to file your taxes, to take a class, to ask question
Listen local - see what's happening at local music venues or other events where local musicians will be performing, stop for buskers, find a favorite artist, and support them
Buy local - it's less convenient than online shopping or going to a big box store that sells everything, but try buying what you can from small local shops in your area
Become unmarketable - there are a lot of ways you can disrupt your online marketing surveillance, including buying less, using decoy emails, deleting or removing permissions from apps that spy on you, checking your privacy settings, not clicking advertising links, and...
Use cash - go to the bank and take out cash instead of using your credit card or e-payment for everything! It's better on small businesses and it's untraceable
Give what you can - as capitalism churns on, normal shmucks have less and less, so think about what you can give (time, money, skills, space, stuff) and how it will make the most impact
Talk about wages - with your coworkers, with your friends, while unionizing! Stop thinking about wages as a measure of your worth and talk about whether or not the bosses are paying fairly for the labor they receive
Think about wealthflow - there are a thousand little mechanisms that corporations and billionaires use to capture wealth from the lower class: fees for transactions, interest, vendor platforms, subscriptions, and more. Start thinking about where your money goes, how and where it's getting captured and removed from our class, and where you have the ability to cut off the flow and pass cash directly to your fellow working class people
DANGER DAYS MCR FANART WIP @)@%!!!!!!
So why is this guy that I know basically the second coming of Gerard Way?
I don't know him very well, I mean, we are both aware of each other's existences and we've spoken before. But I mean we aren't friends.
But seriously, the vibes are there
✅ - Into comics
✅ - Into bands
✅ - Into horror
✅ Actually so good at drawing dude like I saw this thing he drew today that he was doing instead of what he was supposed to be doing and actually like I was flabbergasted?
✅ - Can sing
✅ - Can guitar
I know these are all like pretty general things but he's checking off all these boxes and I'm like...what? Interest-wise he is a total nerd and shit but the way he is it just comes off as really cool?
I wanna be friends with him. I have a friend who's friends with him, but like...he's cool...and I don't know if he'd be cool with me, cuz I'm not cool...but I really wanna be friends with him.
Dilemma of the century: Should I or should I not try to be friends with discount Gerard Way?
Also to that one person who will probably see this and knows who I'm talking about; stfu, you didn't see this, but you're gonna bring it up anyway. I might even be with you when you see this. In that case, hi me.
Thx 4 reading or skipping thru that to read this line; if you see this post you are AWESUM <3
