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.

yooo! hi, thank you bunches for checking my stuff out :3

to be honest i don't really use the album as a plot device / chronological reference— though it did flesh out a hell of a lot more of how the zones + culture + universe sounds and feels like?

kids would turn celebs into presidents and models and salespeople and innovators. maybe steve irwin lead a troop into the zones. someone rants "my cousin told me about a woman named cher once, APPARENTLY SHE MADE A MILITARY IN ZIMBABWE. TOP LEFT. YEAH." or "dude i remember when beyonce adopted three homeless kids. she ran a literal orphanage".

killjoys dont know what these people are known for and thats the point! the rock? apparently he was a car salesman. taylor swift is now just a dogwalker who people liked because she had cool clothes. “you ever heard of obama? the one who sold cereal boxes and taught cooking?” they think ipod shuffles are government tech from the old days, worrying that it still might play BLI fact news if u turn it on. ppl go 8c for a fucking Justin Bieber CD. Vin Diesel was a therapist. someone’s got a whole theory that disneyland was BLI's original headquarters. "Space Mountain was a secret weapon test from BLI.” someone pulls out a Mousekat sticker and slaps it next to a old fucking Mickey Mouse poster and goes “see?? see that shit? SAME FUCKIN EARS.” we have katy perry being a swimmer. a Hot Wheels car? kids ask if thats what cars looked like, undecorated and boring instead of what they have now.
