——————————

Anyway here is my analysis/summaru of the plot of 21P from blurryface to breach as a casual fan:

Okay. So ill send a few good summary videos- but Blurryface started the story of Dema in a continent called Trench. Dema is a city that is controlled by 9 bishops, led by Nico (nico and the niners) ( also referenced on the album art for blurry face with the color schemes and 9 circles) they sent out cryptic messages that led to websites that once the password was discovered, provided letters about a character named clancy. Clancy is stuck in Dema, but has made it out (in trench album) trench introduces the banditos- the rebels who have escaped Dema live on the continent. Clancy tries to desperately be with them, but is always dragged back by Nico. In the scaled and icy album, a lot of their song vibes change - because its propaganda for dema as demanded by nico and a lot of the themes reflect having to live a lie.Then comes the Clancy album, from last year. 21p confirms the story outwardly for the first time and drops a lore video. We saw lore in trench and Scaled and Icy - but these are blatant thematic story telling oriented now and their music videos. The plan is to go to war for the last time because they've been through this cycle before. Clancy album ends on a cliffhanger with an important music video, which is directly resumed in the newest album that just dropped: Breach.

From the beginning, its all a metaphor for mental health. Blurryface is insecurities, Nico being depression. Its all a metaphor for the cycles of mental health - never achieving a status quo, just learnint how to navigate life this way. As clancy is continually dragged in and out of the landscape of his mind and the city walls of dema...He has relied on his guiding light "torchbearer" (the drummer Josh dun and irl bestie). But this album addresses their logo's sake, which is the balance between helping a friend and helping yourself. Its accepting what you have to live with and what you will let consume you. And torchbearer has realized that he can only do so much...despite the fact he will always search for Clancy, but he needs to wait for the version of Clancy that is strong enough to break free of the mental barriers

I dont want to spoil too much that the music videos convey if you decide to dive in. But this album is devastating and im LIVING for it!!! Its sooooo good and the layers from over a decade of work is just delicious and healing my inner emo highschooler. There are so many Easter eggs its wild im barely scratching the surface. There's a religion WITHIN the lore dude it goes DEEP.

My review of this album - its so beautifully tragic. It is so devestating because its torchbearer being disappointed that Clancy isn't healing on Torchbearer's timeframe. But also, Clancy has so many opportunities to break free but cant. They just keep missing each other. (The Line and Tally) Clancy only got through Scaled and Icy after Trench by imagining torchbearer was with him the whole time guiding him (*show me around these City Walls* and Navigating) but there is a dependency that isn't broken there that is staggering Clancy's growth. No one is right. And no one is wrong except the bishops that keep Clancy captured, except that he doesnt always resist.

Boris Johnson breached rules designed to stop the abuse of contacts and access made in public office, an ethics watchdog has found. Last month the Guardian published revelations about Johnson’s conduct since leaving office. The Boris Files, a trove of documents from the former prime minister’s private office seen by the Guardian, suggested he repeatedly broke rules forbidding him from exploiting for private gain contacts made in office. Leaked documents suggested Johnson secretly lobbied the UAE for a billion-dollar private venture, amid plans to use an influential contact he had repeatedly hosted in No 10, and used senior contacts in the Saudi government he had met as prime minister to pitch the services of a consultancy firm. After the Guardian’s stories were published, the Whitehall watchdog, the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (Acoba), wrote to Johnson asking him to explain what he had done for the companies. Johnson refused to answer specific questions or to provide factual denials to allegations of rule-breaking, while insisting all the rules had been followed at all times. His responses led Acoba’s chair, Isabel Doverty, to find him in breach of the rules. On 15 September, Johnson responded to Acoba’s queries to say the stories were “based on material illegally hacked by a hostile state actor. That may explain why they contain so many assertions that are either false or misleading.” He added: “The committee may rest assured that Acoba rules were followed at all times.” The Guardian has seen no evidence that the files contain false or misleading information. The data was obtained by Distributed Denial of Secrets, a US non-profit that archives data leaks. It has said it does not know the provenance of the leak.
