SURPRISE!!! And here y'all thought the raffle was the only thing up our sleeve!!!

Here's the plan:

If this post reaches 25 reblogs here on tumblr dot com, and 150 likes on our instagram before July 15th when pre-orders close, everyone who places an order for the full bundle of the zine (including those who already placed their order) will receive their goodies in a big fancy box with custom art!!!

Hi guys, this is a headcannon I've had for a while and, while we are shifting back into tinfoil mode for the next leg of the lltbp tour, I figured ya'll might enjoy reading my little theory

As we know Swarm tour was filled with many many iconic Gerard looks, but perhaps the most iconic, and definitely the one that made the most appearances was our lovely Secretary.

She appears though almost the entirety of the Australia, New Zealand, and Japan leg of the tour.

Lets take a look at the progression of her fit as the tour progresses, along with the drumheads from each day (which Gerard stated they wrote before the start of each show):

March 11th and March 13th, pretty standard skirt suit, she is notably wearing sunglasses at the beginning of each set.

Fix Fax Fuck You, Everything is Under Control

March 14th, March 16th, we have added gloves, I wonder why that could be, sunglasses still on

Here Comes the Airplane, hmm..

Terror, HMMM..

March 19th, sunglasses, gloves... blood.. a headwound perhaps?

Unkillable..

March 20th glasses come off, white contacts, more bloody headwound... Unkillables??

March 25th, even more blood, white contacts, gloves, does she look? More dead?

Gemini, where have I heard that before?

And on our final day of the tour, March 26th, we get one last night of our bloody, undead, white contacts, gloved Secretary

Endless Night.

Now, I'm sure it doesn't have to be stated, but the Foundations of Decay was THE song of this tour. They released it shortly before tour, played it at the start of every show, and the themes of Decay were evident throughout the tour in the backdrop, the flies, and rats references, etc. And where does Gerard place us in this song?

And as the vermin crawls, we lay in the foundations of decay He was there the day the towers fell

Well, at the Foundations of Decay of course, IE the wreckage of the Twin Towers.

You see, our Secretary was there the day the towers fell, she was working at an office in the towers (fix fax fuck you, everything's under control).

But then the Twin Towers were hit (here comes the airplane), and she died (Terror). The gloves were put on to cover her decaying flesh, the sunglasses to hide her undead eyes.

The towers collapsed on her, she started bleeding out from her head, but.. she's Unkillable so she rose from The Foundations of Decay

She is clearly undead at the end of the tour, she's still bleeding and shes taken off her glasses and her eyes are white, but.. what is Gemini?? (how can she be Unkillables plural?)

Who knows really, maybe its not important at all..

But what we all we know for sure is she is now living an Endless Night.

Edit: A point that I wanted to touch on but forgot last night is I view her, similarly to The Foundations of Decay, as a representation of the bands journey, breakup, and reunion

Hey guys, long time no tinfoil.. Have we noticed

That the UK dates are branded LONG LIVE The Black Parade tour, whereas

The US dates are simply dubbed "The Black Parade", and of course the Halloween weekend shows are just "My Chemical Romance"

I'm thinking the next leg of the tour (after the first couple of US fest shows) will conclude the Long Live story arc in Madrid.

Then the Citi Field show in NY will be possibly an unbrainwashed(?), freed(?) version of The Black Parade?

And MAYBE POSSIBLY?? We're getting a non Black Parade show Halloween weekend.. with PERHAPS a new song maybe off an album named.. Phantom?

You're invited to my book launch party on May 5 at 6:30PM in NYC.

Hosted at the Tumblr headquarters in NYC. RSVP below!
