@ ALL CRASHQUEENS AND KILLJOYS!

i've been in this fandom since 2016, so i've seen headcanons and zone culture and terminology of all kinds.

with that said , i'd like to present the official (unofficial) danger days dictionary. includes everything from zone culture, slang, battery city locations, phoenix witch, even down to bad luck beads and the dust bowl.

for the nitpickers out there, the comics are mainly discarded in this— due to how overwhelming it would be to throw in even MORE overlapping terms and such. some comic characters have been slipped into the regular timeline / universe, just for funsies and a honorary mention. don't come at me, thanks!

REBLOGS RECOMMENDED.

I like to think sometimes, some killjoys tune into BL/ind or battery city radio stations to find out what’s going on and what the state the city is currently in despite the fact they left.

oh also, everyone in the City has the same heartbeat. It's another effect of the pills, making one, slow pulse beat throughout the City. If you listen closely, you can hear it underneath the hustle and bustle of the place - and so can the BL/ind wolves. it's also how they find the kids who aren't on the pills.

TIPS FOR SPOTTING A KILLJOY HIDING IN THE SLUMS:

1. THE KILLER COUGH: This is the most noticeable sign of a killjoy who has recently travelled into the Slums. The dry dust that contaminates their lungs moistens with the air conditioned environment, causing breathing distress and coughing. May produce a brown phlegm-like substance. Dubbed the ‘KILLER COUGH’ by Slum residents, on account of its revealing nature to the authorities.

2. THE SAND WALK: Take a closer look at the individuals gait. Do they push forward and plant their feet with a strange amount of force when walking? This is due to an extended amount of time pushing though sand, which creates a SAND WALK.

3. THE SUN SQUINT: Look at the individuals face. Are they squinting to an excessive amount? This may be a SUN SQUINT, in which the killjoy’s eyes are used to extended amounts of sun glare. They may struggle in shadowed areas, with complaints of low light and/or visibility.

Other signs include but are not limited to: Strange and ill-fitting clothes, shivering and complaints of cold tempatures, sand and dust residue depositing from clothes and hair.

SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING.

I kept getting that song Be Careful What You Wish For by Jack Harris in my YouTube shorts feed and it reminded me of BL/Ind so here’s some fanart

Thinking about if drac masks didn't immediately remove the soul of the person they're put on. The masks melt onto the person, basically becoming a new layer of synthetic skin, but they don't always melt instantly. In the midday sun in the middle of the desert it probably is almost instantaneous, but at night or somewhere where its cold it takes time. The masks have a low heat tolerance so even the warmth of the person's skin will make it start to melt, but without an external heat source it could take a couple hours for it to melt on to the point where it can no longer be removed. And the soul isn't removed entirely until the mask is at a point where there's no hope of removing it, it just kind of starts to pull away and so it can be drawn back too. For the company, it's standard procedure to not allow new dracs to be placed anywhere where there's a threat of their mask being removed for the first 24 hours at least because before then the mask might not be secure. It's also standard for drac holding cells to be kept warm to ensure every mask stays on. For killjoys, more specifically those who believe in the Witch, it's standard to cut off the mask of a new drac if possible, even if their body is already damaged to the point where it should've killed them, because without the mask on the Witch might decide to put them back.

I think we (the danger days fandom) do not talk enough about the fact that Australia canonically disappeared (at least according to BLI)

Lately, I don't even think Battery City has an environment. It's all artificial. Like it's just enshrouded in this big dome. There is a ceiling that replicates what time of day it's supposed to be. As curfew approaches, the "sun" starts to set. As the time to wake comes, the "sun" starts to rise. It doesn't seem real. It's almost liminal and surreal in nature like you're walking behind yourself in a third-person simulation.

Inside the ceiling there are cameras to survey citizens from above. The ceiling and the flies are BLI's most successful way of spying on its consumers. That's not to say the cats, birds, and dogs aren't spying on you.
