Tags: Violence, Forced Medication, trans headcanons, Blood, mentioned transmisogyny, PTSD, therapy animals, mentioned animal abuse, Arakita's potty mouth, Tooth-Rotting Fluff, these tags make it sound a lot worse than it is tbh, Basically this is Desertpunk!Yowapeda, you don't need to know the killjoys canon, So many nicknames, did I mention guerilla graffiti artists Toudou and Makishima?
Every story starts with a question. Different questions for different tales, sure, but it always has to begin with something:
“When did the world start going to shit?”
“Why are we in the desert?”
“Who are the Fabulous Killjoys?”
Deceptively difficult to answer. The short version-- the half-lie and plastic truth-- is that the Killjoys were legends. Heroes of the broken. Scourge of that hell called “the Desert,” or Saviors of that haven called "the Zones". Depends on who you’re talking to.
True to form, that would take a little longer.
[After over a year of having this sitting in my drafts, I finally finished + posted my MCR Killjoys AU prompt from SWAG 2016, lol.]
