Am I the only one who noticed...

In the jumpsuit video

Tyler has a cut on his nose in the SAME SPOT

AS HE DOES IN HEATHENS?

They look different I know but hear me out.

We know that trench has a weird religious theme thanks to Clancy's letters, regarding the bishops. Dema as a whole feels very culty.

The definition of the word heathen is "a person who does not belong to a widely held religion as regarded by those who do."

Also not to mention in Heathens, Tyler's jumpsuit gets ripped off to reveal a YELLOW suit underneath.

I wonder if heathens is somehow going to tie into the narrative.

Could be nothing... but it could be something.

“I would eat his heart in the marketplace” is legit the most savage line I have ever heard, I’d like to personally thank Shakespeare for putting into words that feeling of rage and protectiveness women get when some fuckboy hurts another woman

Okay first off, I will always reblog this post, but secondly, I went to Shakespeare in the Park tonight to see this and all the women cheered *so loudly* when Beatrice said this line, and the guy in front of me looked around all shocked and a little scared and said “… oh wow” and it was ICONIQUE

SO IM ON THE PHONE WITH @sykoskittles AND WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE NEW TWENTY ONE PILOTS ALBUM AND THEORIES WE HAVE AND WE FOUND SO. MUCH.

so focusing on this GIF we knew there was a message but obviously it’s too fast to read. so i took it into photoshop and looked at it layer by layer and read the letters out loud to donna anD EXCUSE US???????

ALSO. NICO AND THE NINERS ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE NINE LAYERS OF HELL ACCORDING TO DANTE’S INFERNO SO EACH BISHOP IS REPRESENTATIVE OF A CIRCLE OF HELL WITH NICO BEING THE DEVIL BU BU BUM DUM

OK THAT’S NOT ALL

in the center of the map you can see NINE CIRCLES laid out EXACTLY like the album art for BLURRYFACE. above each circle is the name of each of the nine bishops (please forgive me if these are wrong it’s literally so blurry when we zoom so these are our best attempts at reading them) , Andre, Lisden, Keone, Nico, Reirdno, Bacarver, Mills, Vetomo, and Listo.

A necropolis is defined as “a cemetery, especially a large one belonging to an ancient city.”

and Dema translates loosely to “Tower of Silence” in Persian and is similar to the towers where they would have carrion birds (crows, VULTURES, etc.) p much eat the dead bodies they placed out. there is also a picture of the vultures on the wall on the dmaorg.info website and under it you can read “d_e_ath__eat_E_rz”

on the map there is also a corner ripped off which seems to be either where there used to be a key (for the compass) OR donnie thinks it could be another room of dema that the bishops have hidden away

under the image of the map on the website you can read “sev_ering__tiez gEt out. the compAss lies. they don’t control you. get out. the compaSs lies. They don’t control you. get out. the compass lIeS. they don’t control yoU.get out. the comPass lies. they don’t control you.”

severing ties implies clancy leaving dema and in the message saying the compass lies and they don’t control you it has “EAST IS UP” in all caps spread throughout the message

MOVING ON

on the right side of this note i was able to read “WEST WALL BLOCKED EAST IS UP” which could be connected to the sun rising in the east and truce’s lyric “the sun will rise and we will try again”.

then in this letter clancy is talking about his escape from dema and the things he is finding outside of the walls. in one part he says “sometimes i’ll feel a presence, or i think i see something in my peripheral, only to look up and see nothing”

i almost wonder if that line connects all the way back to march to the sea where tyler says “no one looks up anymore, cause you might get a teardrop in your eye”, a lyric that i believe connects with people looking up to seek god with no response.

this could show clancy feeling a sort of guardian watching over him but not being able to see them.

NOW LET’S BRING IT TO THE JUMPSUIT VIDEO

so after tyler stands there with his neck out for nico to come and “smear” him at about 2:30. after this tyler starts to follow nico. 

then at about 2:40 his neck fades to all black showing nico taking control. tyler follows him pretty emotionless 

BUT donnie and i both noticed something. 

she noticed at 3:00 the black kept fading back and forth between solid black and the lines which she figured is him fighting against nico and the hold that nico has on him and i saw at 3:34 when the petals were falling his neck permanently fades back to just lines

and at 3:50 when he takes off running from nico the black is gone. 

and am i crazy or when he falls and nico finds him does his neck turn back to BLACK?

going back to tyler being “smeared” by nico, here you can see clancy said “The only significant light I’ve seen has been in the eyes of those smeared - such a curious sight, to see bright eyes strangled by the darkness of bishop hands. As their penance fades, so dims their memory of something more. My hope of something more in all I have in this rigid tomb, and I will not let it die.”

This makes us think that whenever a bishop touches someone it “smears” them. When someone is smeared they lose their hope and the light within them dies, turning them into a kind of drone, something that fascinated Clancy to see.

Also, did we mention the color yellow symbolizes hope. and hope is something clancy often talks about.

im so sorry this post is such a hot mess i just had to collect so many of our thoughts into one post and im losing my mind. thank u for reading
