Look alive, sunshine.

This blog is a collection of all the canon info about the Danger Days universe, taken from the album, music videos, comics, concept art, advertising, and anything else I can get my hands on.

This is a work in progress and will likely be a long-term project.

If you have corrections or submissions, send them in an ask.

This post will eventually also have a masterlist of posts made.

Hi! I’m Jordan (they/he), and I began listening to MCR in 2022, but became a proper fan in 2023 (right after they visited my city for Swarm Tour, but we don’t talk about that).

When I first joined the MCRmy, where was so much I was confused about, because everyone seemed to know things, and so they never got explained. This was especially true when it came to things about the Killjoys. It was especially difficult to separate the canon from the fanon.

So, to start my 2025, I’ve decided to make this blog as a resource for newcomers and old fans alike, recording as much canon as I can in an organised and accessible manner.

Keep your boots tight, keep your gun close, and die with your mask on if you’ve got to. Here, is the traffic.
