So Gerards Quarantine Coloring Book Got Me Thinking, And Ive Had These Lyrics Stuck In My Head A Lot

So Gerard’s Quarantine Coloring Book got me thinking, and I’ve had these lyrics stuck in my head a lot lately (what with the quarantine and everything), so I made my own little doodly coloring page with them. 

In the spirit of the Quarantine Coloring Book, feel free to color it and post your own colored versions of it if you’d like! (Though of course I’d appreciate credit for the drawing part of it if you do post it :) And please tag me so I can see it!)

“And we’ll love again, we’ll laugh again, we’ll cry again, and we’ll dance again” 

~My Chemical Romance, I Never Told You What I Do For a Living

Absolutely!

It also looks like something young laser-wielding rebels living in the desert on the run from a colorless corporate dystopia built on emotional inauthenticity might stumble upon while looking for somewhere to park their Trans Am and camp for the night...

Which further feeds my headcanon that these things are happening in the same desert, or perhaps that Danger Days takes place in the desert otherworld...

Desert Bloom [OC] Joshua Tree, Ca

Oooo okay, let me pick out some things from my Vampire Vibes playlist:

Uninvited, the cover by Red Sun Rising

Possum Kingdom by Toadies

Little Monster by Royal Blood

Nocturnal Me by Echo and the Bunnymen

Animal by Badflower

Out for Blood by Sum 41

Animal, the cover by Chase Holfelder (it’s not the same song as the Badflower one)

There’s more on the playlist but I think those are the most evil and s*xy :)

Cool blog! Love everything I have looked at. lol

     Aaw, thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying it :) Ever since I split off my sideblog (blagueofchaos), and even before that to some extent, I’ve tried to keep this one as the place for pretty much my top favorite things of the moment, so hopefully it stays pretty nice. 

     Oh, and sorry if I went a bit wild likespamming your blog the other day, by the way. Sometimes Tumblr shows me a blog and I go through and like a bunch of things. 

     (I forget there isn’t a place for tags on asks for some reason. I actually drafted my reply in a doc beforehand because I know Tumblr does weird things with asks if you don’t answer them all at once, and I wrote a bunch of tags for this; apparently I can put a cut in, so I’ll stick them under the cut.)

#for the record people are always allowed to likespam my things #I just get self-conscious of my likespamming ways sometimes because I’ve seen one or two posts complaining about people who do that #but for better or worse that’s kind of just how I tumblr #but yeah welcome to my blog! Happy to have you and glad you like it :) #your ask made me smile :) #by the way I know I have other asks in my inbox that I haven’t touched yet. Sorry about that if you have been waiting months for an answer #this one was just easier to respond to. #I’ll get to the others eventually! Here and on blagueofchaos too #I am a slow blogger #except when I’m being chaotic. hence the sideblog #asks #I am pretty excited to be someone who gets asks #although I’ve basically sworn off reblogging ask games since I’m so slow to answer things I get #I just have this need to fully say my piece about things I guess #which is another aspect of this blog; it’s the one where I comment everything I’m thinking on the posts I reblog pretty much #it just feels like the one where I need to Say Things #I suppose in part because it was my first non-blogspot blog so I’ve been treating it as a more Formal Blog where I Speak on Things #which is also why my blog description is kinda quirky and non-tumblr-y #anyways I am overexplaining in the tags once again #even in the tags I ramble #yes this is why it takes me so long to answer things #ah communications in the strange lande of tumblr #at least I put more of my rambling in the tags than I used to I suppose #(haha I wrote that not knowing there wouldn’t be actual tags on this post #maybe if I edit it after it’s posted I can fix this IDK #or I may just leave all this under the cut)

I played the entire Danger Days album tonight while finishing up my taxes, and just as I stapled them together, the anthem in Goodnight Dr. D hit the staticky part. It felt... poetic. 

A moodboard for my Killjoy OC Fruit Snack! She is half African American and half Hopi; I'm still working on developing the full details of her character, but putting together this moodboard has helped me work towards getting to know her better. Her name arose out of this post (blagueofchaos is my sideblog) and I’ve basically run with it from there, trying to work out what a Killjoy who named herself Fruit Snack would be like. I do plan on doing a full OC intro post once I have a decent summary of her worked out and written, so I’ll try to refrain from making this post super long with details and mostly let the moodboard speak for itself. 

I was motivated to make this moodboard by the Killjoys of Color Project run by @andromeda-flash and @code-red-against-mike-milligram. This is for Day 3: City Born OCs. Thank you for the inspiration to actually make this! 

For full photo sources and credits, plus an expanded section of thoughts on my moodboard process that I moved for brevity’s sake, see below the cut. 

I was also thinking about putting something to more specifically represent her Hopi heritage in this moodboard, and I’ve been reading up on Kachina dolls, but I didn’t want to just stick one in my moodboard without understanding the full context of them and whether it would be appropriate. I think it’s fairly likely that BLI, as an organization that tries to strip people of any individuality, would attempt to prevent the passing on of such traditions, but I’m also sure that her mother would have passed some knowledge of her heritage on to her in secret before she left the city, so I was thinking maybe a Kachina doll could be like the one physical aspect of her culture she has to hold onto. I may at some point make a revised or an additional moodboard with one in it, but for now I decided I should wait to be sure that I understand what I’m doing with those.
