For anyone wondering, the latest MCR Instagram post was a soundless video of the word “phantom” flickering like neon green lights on a dark background.

EDIT 1: A still image of the post is below the cut.

EDIT 2: Thank you to @infectiouspiss and @xxfangirl365xx for pointing out that it’s meant to be an electrocardiogram!

Here’s a reminder that unless you tag your post as flashing, photosensitive people can’t just. Not look at concert videos. That’s why you tag it as flashing.

i think people should check out @emos-for-an-accessible-bandom and @accessiblebandomproject for ways to help fandom/band spaces be more accessible (these people are super cool also!!)

Yall if I ever manage to start that band someday I swear to everything there won’t be a single strobe light at any of the shows

There’s been good progress in accessibility!!

[ID]: Three photos of a black screen with white text in one of the Keposhka fonts. The first image is in English, the second in Keposhka, and the third in Spanish. Each screen has a large Keposhka MCR logo at the top.

The English reads: “WARNING / Strobe lighting and other intense lighting will be used during this show. It will not be safe for those with epilepsy and other conditions with sensitivity to light. / Please see a medical staff member for details if you are concerned.”

The Spanish reads: “ADVERTENCIA / Durante este espectáculo se utilizarán luces estroboscópicas y otras luces intensas. No es seguro para personas con epilepsia u otras afecciones con sensibilidad a la luz intensa. / Si tiene alguna duda, consulte con un miembro del personal medico para obtener más informatión.”

The Keposhka translates to English. [End ID]

If there’s any mistakes in the Spanish, please let me know! I was transcribing by eye and don’t know the language, so I wouldn’t pick up on any errors I may have made.

LLTBP MAMA SPOILERS

Transcript:

[Gerard] [screams]. No, no, no!

They … the fall. They laughed and they … the song. They’ve taken our praise and collapsed on the ground. The smiles … this all.

Marianne! How are you doing? Are you good Marianne? [she cheers] … here Marianne, thank you! Wave to all the beautiful people Marianne! We’re gonna count you in right here. You don’t know the count but you know the part. I’ll sing the count so its easy to follow along. While you’re waiting- are you …. I’ve said 1, 2! 1, 2, 3, 4!

[Marianne] (Sang operatically) And if you would call me your sweetheart, I’d maybe then sing you a song.

[Both] But there’s shit that I’ve done with this fuck of a gun. (Gee starts screaming the words) You would cry out your eyes all along. (Sings normally again) We’re damned after all. Through fortune and flame, we fall. And if you can stay, then I’ll show you the way, to return from the ashes you call. We all—.

—————

I unfortunately have somewhat poor hearing and can’t tell what the “…”s are. If anyone knows, I’ll update the post. Tumblr won’t let me add the video right now but I’ll do it asap. Much love <3

Here's Mikey getting kicked in the balls for the plot.

Gerard bows in front of the Clerk. The Clerk raises his left hand to slap Gerard, but (after a short delay) Mikey grabs his wrist and pushes it away. He stands taller and adjusts his bass to be behind him on its strap rather than at his side. The Clerk grabs his shoulders and uses his right leg to knee him in the groin. Mikey falls to the floor, and the Clerk walks away. Mikey stumbles and crawls for a bit, Gerard approaching him, before he manages to stand. As he walks off, hunched over, Gerard tries reaching out for him but Mikey doesn't respond. Gerard looks down shamefully as the opening to "Cancer" starts playing. He shakes his head and turns away. Ray, who has moved into view, covers his face with his left hand and walks away, glancing for a second back in Mikey's direction.

The original video can be found here. It doesn't contain flashing but be careful, as with the whole tour the colours are very vivid, there are some bright spots due to reflections on mic stands, and there is a slow-moving spotlight towards the end (post-attack, you won't miss out on much if you stop once Mikey gets up).
