Double Album Confirmed

[tame tendon]

yeah but he probably went on a site "free alphanumerical translator" accidentally wrote feef and printed in on a shirt

that's how mistakes are made

it was just a mistake

not everything has to be lore

[brazen leaf]

trueee

[tame tendon]

WAIT

so today's the day?

the big confirmation of if the shirt codes are for tracklist?

[left kite]

No. Today can still not have a number and we're good. It's the next show that matters iirc

[tame tendon]

the last show would probably have something else

the big announcement

so id say they wont do a shirt on the last one

[cloud lynx]

what about... cyan and purple?

with some black maybe

[left kite]

Yeah maybe

[tame tendon]

main color purple would be the best anyway

some blueish would fit it nice

but also imagine purple and orange

[onyx dust]

when someone mentions purple era I always think about that one trench shirt

[wheat gorge]

sharing this from @ivory dagger bc omg if he's right and we were blind the whole time I swear to god!

[compact arrow]

Huh

[left kite]

Bruh

[compact arrow]

I just see a y

[left kite]

Wow

[compact arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/mouxy-cotorep-aveugle-debile-esquiver-gif-20546128

[left kite]

No he meant the whole shape

[compact arrow]

Oh the border

https://tenor.com/view/xqc-bonk-gif-22815143

I’m a caveman

Ignore me

[left kite]

Lol

Hey none of us saw it for a year so

[onyx dust]

You think it's written vertical to make it look like "1"

[compact arrow]

They said I was a tweaker

[wheat gorge]

it would make sense, the vertical always was weird to me, outside of the stole's design

[compact arrow]

Even though I knew the second I saw that track list

Also the design of the album was a bit crazy

It felt a little rushed

And then the delayed release

[wheat gorge]

imagine the double album is titled "Inferno" and the cover has that vertically next to "Clancy" to make a Roman numeral II

[compact arrow]

That would be sick

[wheat gorge]

watch the logo go to like "||-/" or something too

[compact arrow]

Either way I think we get part 2 this year

This band is about to make a lot of money this year

World tour, BF 10th anniversary, song with riot games, new album

Actual money printer

[onyx dust]

I want an album, but two years in a row?

[left kite]

C I
L N
A F
N E
C R
Y N
O

[compact arrow]

WAIITTTT

What are the Morse code letters rn

n

I

And n

Yes?

[left kite]

N N I E

[compact arrow]

It’s gonna spell inferno

[cloud lynx]

C I
L N
A F
N E
C R
Y N
** ** ** ** O

[left kite]

IN-E-N-

[onyx dust]

why are the letters numbered then

[left kite]

For continuity, because the letters are going back and forth

[cloud lynx]

oops u already did that

[left kite]

Lol is okay

[wheat gorge]

if it is an anagram, then I'd imagine rearranging the numbers like the letters could be its own code too

[left kite]

Possibly!!

I totally think it's inferno now tho

How many bottom halves do we have left?

[compact arrow]

Ok

Yeah

[rancid delta]

Omg there is no way

[left kite]

Actually that might not even be relevant, because we already had one blank one

[wheat gorge]

7 I think

[compact arrow]

They definitely are doing a part 2

[wheat gorge]

and 2 top halves

[cloud lynx]

imagine it's smth like -/-/- lmao
/ /

[compact arrow]

I mean look at all this shit they are doing

[left kite]

Oh ya

[compact arrow]

Shirts with numbers

Morse code

https://tenor.com/view/what-do-they-mean-random-numbers-gif-10654449

[wheat gorge]

omg yeah have the dash like fully cut across would go hard

[compact arrow]

GET OUT

I can’t wait to be done with numbers man

And they just drop music normally

[weak thorn]

However:

[cloud lynx]

then we could say that the lines... cross

[tame tendon]

i dont get it

[compact arrow]

I feel like you have to rearrange it

Or it’s 2 in one

[tame tendon]

i dont see the roman 1 on the logo

[wheat gorge]

like the vertical shape of the word "Clancy" is a vertical line, or like a Roman number I

[tame tendon]

that is a little of an overkill for me but anything i guess

[wheat gorge]

yeah it's kinda a stretch but if it's right, that would be insane

would remind me of when they first revealed psychokinesis and everyone started connecting "sai" to "psi" to "psy" etc.

[tame tendon]

i mean when it comes to connecting random things to other random things this community is great

especially when it comes to FEEF

[cloud lynx]

i wouldn't be surprised if it was made on purpose

the roman I shape

[tame tendon]

id say the second album might include the top logo in it

[cloud lynx]

oooh

connecting the two parts

with

the line

lol

[tame tendon]

yeah it gives the vibe of clancy = |, the line= -

and the second part = /

[cloud lynx]

people have theorized about that since when they started "forgetting" the (literal) line before the song dropped

[tame tendon]

now if they start removing / everywhere

then we got it confirmed

[stuck frigate]

https://www.instagram.com/twentyonepilots/reel/DJHViNYNvPk/?hl=en

Can anyone tell if this is a reused track or not?

[left kite]

It's the overcompensate synth from the chorus

[graceful hill]

Like the line announcement post?

[tame tendon]

uhm, yes? but

i believe every single artist that collaborated on the arcane soundtrack made a teaser like this

so that doesn't mean much

[wide jolt]

Now I see intentions don't mean much

[graceful hill]

yeah it's unrelated but I was just using that as a comparison of your words

[lunar pine]

this is my fav version of the cover

[dark ermine]

no numbers on shirt again

[tame tendon]

what the fuck

[tame tendon]

what the fuck

we're dead

no more tracklist shit

[lunar pine]

what?

[tame tendon]

double album cancelled 🔥🔥🔥

[lunar pine]

i'm not watching the show rn what is going on

[tame tendon]

im not either

[left kite]

No

[tame tendon]

its the fact that theres no numbers on the shirt

[left kite]

We still have 8 shirts to go

[tame tendon]

yes, but

[left kite]

And 8 more tracks

[lean mango]

1 more day til RIP tracklist theory

[tame tendon]

last show would be the one to annouce the ENTIRE album

but yeah I'd give that one day

[lean mango]

3 if we assume they won't do Drag Path and/or Graffiti

[tame tendon]

wont hurt

[tame tendon]

they will

well, they will if they want to confirm us that it is the tracklist

[lunar pine]

they don't need to do all of them

that's first

[tame tendon]

that's what i said

[lean mango]

Much less likely to be titles if they don't

[lunar pine]

and second they could put multiple numbers in a single show

black shirt, clancy shirt, the big screens

blurryface might even tweet one of the numbers

[tame tendon]

eh boring

[lean mango]

Shirts are most likely and until I see one with multiple messages, I don't expect that

[tame tendon]

tommorow is the last hope for us

and i got a feeling it aint happening

[brazen leaf]

NO NUMBERS FUCK

[brazen leaf]

but like

😭

[lean mango]

Not last hope for double album

[brazen leaf]

they cant just end the numbers after that-

[lean mango]

The numbers may very well be unrelated

Or something besides titles

[tame tendon]

TYLER has his own thinking patterns

let him cook i guess

(and its not like you can do anything else)

[dark ermine]

at least we had morse code on the new letter today, stay positive guys

[tame tendon]

nuh uh

morse codes are something we have more control over than the shirt codes

at least we got some confirmation that they will make up something

but the shirts? r a n d o m n e s s

[brazen leaf]

i still have hope

[stray kettle]

the shirt codes still exist and have to mean something

even if no code tomorrow

[brazen leaf]

never lose hope guys this theory is still lalive

[left kite]

Clancy Part Two: Inferno (official album art leak)

[tame tendon]

the double album theory isnt all based on the codes

[tame tendon]

thats it

finnaly

[lean mango]

Yea, there's a lot of evidence, I feel like the codes + keysmash are some of the weaker pieces of evidence

[tame tendon]

the biggest confirmation is

[dark ermine]

I mean we had a letter with no morse code on it

[tame tendon]

paladin strait ending

[tame tendon]

supposedly a space

[brazen leaf]

yes

[lean mango]

That's confirmation for something, not necessarily an album

[brazen leaf]

true

[tame tendon]

but for a continuation

[dark ermine]

yeah, supposedly, we don’t know for sure

[graceful hill]

also that post yesterday/today i cant remember with the date looking thing

[dark ermine]

I mean we have like A LOT of hints about the double album, just because there aren’t codes on all the shirts doesn’t mean nothing

[graceful hill]

i personally am a drag path/graffiti doubter

[left kite]

BOOOO

[dark ermine]

i’m more afraid on WHEN it will happen (I hope in May or June)

[left kite]

DRAG PATH ETCHED ON THE SURFACE

[graceful hill]

caleb hold on

now im not saying i wont be pleased if they come out

but i just doubt they will considering they were in digital remains

[left kite]

Lol yes I know

[tame tendon]

the biggest confirmation is the fact that tyler has definitely seen the double album theory and if he was nice then he would have DECONFIRMED it already, but instead hes giving more clues about it. so, either double album, or tyjo is a hater

[graceful hill]

please dont excommunicate me out of here 😭

[left kite]

Haha no I was joking (I 100% am a drag Path truther tho)

[graceful hill]

i know i just wanted to make sure you knew i wasnt actually being passive aggressive lol

[left kite]

Lol no I never assume that unless it's obvious aggression

[graceful hill]

sick

anyhow what do we think about that social media post with the logo and dots 👀👀

[dark ermine]

so true, he could also literally debunk the keyboard smash theory

[brazen leaf]

i thinnk its a date format

think

[left kite]

I think it could 06|??/25 as a date OR vessel Blurryface | trench sai / Clancy Ultimus Capitulus

[brazen leaf]

ye

[stray kettle]

I am full blown clowning at this point but I guess saving the final 8 codes for the final 8 shows makes sense

heh

🤡

[dull void]

I’m also clowning

Please god give me another album

We’re so cooked

[wide jolt]

Have faith 🙏

[tame tendon]

why tyler joseph perfectly timed all those final shows and shit on my finals dates

[tame tendon]

it doesn't

idk about you guys but im 100% certain that we're getting new music this year that is not blurryface remakes or demos and is not live music but brand new lyrics and shit

NOT certainly an album but anyways still new music

[wide jolt]

Whatever he has planned it will be amazing

Still think it's an album though

[tame tendon]

my perfect ending would be releasing a beautiful double album that finnaly concludes the story and going on an another world tour, a little smaller but not only US then calling it a day

and taking a break until like even 2029

plus live album, documentaries, etc., thats really a lot

they could disappear for 5 years after that

[wide jolt]

How can a five year break be a perfect ending😡

[brazen leaf]

well realistically after this era we wont get anything brand new until like 2030-

realistically

[tame tendon]

no

if they wont do double album and a longer second tour-

if they do i think its fine and great

but if they dont that would kinda suck

[dark ermine]

I agree, it’s just that I’m not sure if it’s happening this year. Makes sense? Yes. It will happen 100%? Nope.

[dark ermine]

Honestly? Agree

[tame tendon]

id love if it was this year but its a little too much for what we are already going to have

but for what would be all this hype up on the shows?

[rancid delta]

Even if the shirts aren't the tracklist we already know we're getting some new stuff soon

Don't lose hope

[tame tendon]

the REASONABLE ending: we get blurryface 10th anniversary event/vinyl, second US leg with live album and documentary somewhere in between, and only after the US leg (mid 2026) the double album

[brazen leaf]

yes

its possible they will release double album, live album etc 2025-2026

then tour 2026

then a break

thats likely

[tame tendon]

if they release 11 more song then yeah a break until 2030 is real

but if they dont id say 2028 for the next album

[rancid delta]

It's may now. Could be any day for all we know

Were in the endgame now

[tame tendon]

no

we arent

we thought we were last june

they can surprise us anytime

[rancid delta]

Blurryface anniversary is in just over 2 weeks

I fully expect something around then

Not sure WHAT but something gotta give

[tame tendon]

yeah we know something but we are talking about the second part

[brazen leaf]

this is kind of unrealistic, clancy era is expected to last until 2026

2028 is too soon

for brand new music

[rancid delta]

I never said "double album is 100% happening this month"

[rancid delta]

My bets would be on 2029, if we ARE getting a second album, I'm sure they're gonna take a long break. 2028 being the soonest, though 2029 would be a safer bet

I feel like 2030 would be too long

[brazen leaf]

4 year gaps between eras arent uncommon tbh

trench - sai

as an example

[rancid delta]

Tyler also has 3 kids now. Dudes gotta rest a bit lol

[brazen leaf]

yeah thats why i think2030, especially with everything we're getting: live album, mexico film

[rancid delta]

Fair enough but if the double album is real and it were to come out this year that would be 5 years

3 years is also the average for them. 2015, 2018, 2021, 2024

[brazen leaf]

2029-2030 for a new era is likely yh

[tame tendon]

yes

late 2028 if no double album

[rancid delta]

I really wonder what they'll do after dema is concluded. Maybe a one off album like vessel before making a whole new story. If they do that at all

I'd love to see them remake self titled tbh, imagine how cool it would be to hear that modernized

It would be 20 in 2029 so here's to hoping I guess

[tame tendon]

that will happen

[shadow cipher]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 3!

[tame tendon]

they would definitely want to remake it

especially that now josh has been playing st songs

[lean mango]

I don't foresee them taking such a long break

[tame tendon]

bro

[lean mango]

most of the times between albums have been 3 years even for longer spacing

[tame tendon]

there was no era LIKE THIS yet

its different

[lean mango]

Yea, I know, please let me finish before responding

[tame tendon]

ok

[tidal timber]

i mean ers lasted forever and then they did tour de cbus after

[lean mango]

Even though this era is huge, Tyler is so driven as a creator that he's always working on new stuff during tour, they've even hinted that he's already thinking about what they'll do next. Plus he's mentioned that he always misses being able to perform when they're off. It's such a core aspect of what drives Tyler as a person that I don't really foresee them taking multiple years longer of a break, even if they def deserve it. I think it'll be different once he starts to show signs of losing his drive for this stuff, but rn it looks as strong as ever

Could be wrong ofc, but I'd be surprised if it ends up being 6 years from the beginning of this era to the next one

[tame tendon]

if the double album ends up dropping, id still say 2029 will be the year of their next album

clancy era would end when 2027 begins

that's only 2 years

[lean mango]

The 3 year spacing is usually album to album, that'd still be 4 years between the double and the next one

but it's def possible

SAI was similar

though the pandemic was a factor

[tame tendon]

the double album can always be released 2026

[tidal timber]

bandito tour was supposed to go into 2020 if it wasnt for covid

[weak thorn]

Then what’s the whole thing about the final chapter in 2025?? Why would they tease something like that if it’s not gonna be in 2025?

[tidal timber]

but i see both perspectives, clancy era might end in 2027, but that doesnt mean the next music releases would be 5 years away

[tame tendon]

i said it already tyjo is a hater

nah jk man why can't we give it a month or two and just see what happens

ive seen that 25 might mean the 25th letter on dema site or something like that? that might've been a mistake but idk

[lean mango]

If they wait til at least 2025 for it and it didn't even mean 2025 (which was most people's interpretation) then that message is an even worse teaser than I thought lol

[tame tendon]

ill just keep saying that

if all the stuff that he has teased already is just some messing around then uhm tyler that's not nice 😔

[dark ermine]

Guys, no era lasted only a year, and when the tour will end there is gonna be only the live album to look forward. We’re in the endgame for sure, Blurryface 10th anniversary it’s something too much big to not using it for the double album.
If double album won’t drop in May/June of this year, I think it doesn’t exist at all.

At that point, I’ll just wait for the new and supposedly “last album” of the lore in…2026? 2027? Who knows.

[tame tendon]

ngl im Stressed Out about all this stuff

[wide jolt]

Maybe not a full on hiatus but the odd festival and single would be nice until like 2030 then back to business

[compact arrow]

yo

I really like learning about the muscial process

and I tend to rewatch Paul Meany's video

and he hinted at the start of another song in one of the vids and I completely forgot

I believe he said something like "probably start to a new song"

something like that

its the midwest indigo one on his 1PM music channel on yt

[compact arrow]

on top of that SAI wasnt planned

and I brought this up a lot last year

but tyler said they were working on music while on tour

and I do not believe it was SAI

so we may see some stuff that was worked on during that time in the new album and we may have heard some stuff from clancy as well

[blissful jetty]

i don't understand... what's the point?

where's the roman numeral I?

[torpid belfry]

a double album would be cool

[lean mango]

The whole logo

Second one could have two of it and say, for example, "Clancy Inferno"

Would be funnier though if it was just the same thing twice

"Clancy Clancy"

[molten sandal]

wait itd be cool if it was clancy's inferno that way the letters match up

C I
L N
A F
N E
C R
Y N
S O

[bright tinsel]

It’s not really a double album at that point.

The reason why I believe in the double album dropping this year is because they said “ Clancy”was the end - that means this era is supposed to close out the story. Starting a whole new era to end the cycle doesn’t seem in place given their plans to move beyond the storyline once this one’s through.

[brazen leaf]

agreed

if we are getting a double album it’s coming this year

not 2026

if anything there’s more chance of the live album coming in 2026

cause they take a lot of time to produce

[tame tendon]

i never said it would be a different era

but it could release later

[blissful jetty]

VIALISM MENTIONED

[blissful jetty]

'clancy bourbaki'

[dark ermine]

EXACTLY. Tyler said ALL the era till Clancy dropped “yes, it’s the last album of the lore” then LITERALLY the day the album dropped he said in live “does it sound like the end?”
He DIDN’T changed his mind in a day, he’s just playing with words. The Second part of Clancy, the double album, the EP or whatever the hell is gonna “complete” Clancy. So it was true, Clancy was the last album of the lore. They just cut it.

[dark ermine]

The point is: Tyler said he regret the hiatus and doesn’t want another one, so how are they gonna manage the rest of the era in 2025 without a tour or new MVs?

[lofty crane]

i mean
it's not a hiatus if they chill until 2026

i do think it doesn't make sense for the double album to drop next year IF it drops

doulbe album TOUR could be next year then

[brazen leaf]

the hiatus was a rare case where they were radio silent for so long

they can still have a break but be on socials, do interviews etc

[lofty crane]

yeah

hiatus was hell
break is fine

i see the closing eye when i go to sleep it hunts me

[brazen leaf]

it was so iconic tho

and then when they posted the eye with a jumpsuit snippet playing

and nico on the horse

best album rollout

[dark ermine]

It’s not a hiatus if they post something here and there, I hope

[bright tinsel]

Bingo. And the “2026 beyond” statement about the “Clancy era” indicates that yes, there is more music, and yes, it will come out sooner than we think. Especially since the second leg has yet to be announced.

[tame tendon]

guys hear me out
the next album will be a collaboration between twenty one pilots and minecraft

like jack black in dema

i.. am clancy

[tidal timber]

clancy yearns for the mines

[tame tendon]

do you guys think they have minecraft in dema

do they have taco bell in dema

you guys know how self titled themes are projected into current lore, what if he puts more old music into the current story?

like giving dema taco bell

||also dema is surrounded by a river where coconut sharks swim||

[bright tinsel]

“As a child, I yearned for the Bandito camps.”

[lofty crane]

[bright tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/tyler-joseph-antlers-dance-tøp-twentyonepilots-tylerjoseph-tylerdance-gif-25151647

“Ned’s antlers, full set!”

[tame tendon]

coming in hot

[bright tinsel]

Clancy should just yell “WATERBUCKET, RELEASE!!!” and dive out of the window to escape Nico.

[wide jolt]

They said the gap in their schedule is not nothing...

[blissful jetty]

just thoughts

[tame tendon]

hey guys so ••|••/•• has already been done in 2016

[trim bough]

Please explain

[tame tendon]

freddy Fazbear

[blissful jetty]

all earthly honor onto the glorious gone - the slogan of the bishops who preach vialism. the idea of reaching paradise through self-destruction

twenty one pilot's logo in the center of dema - the idea of bringing back the true meaning of what the bishops called 'vialism'. affirming life instead of celebrating death

two people in front of dema - clancy and the torchbearer. they stand in front of the giant cement towers symbolizing oppression and decay

it's time for the final battle

[wraith gulch]

Yes and no. Partial but never complete

Very intriguing for sure.

[trim bough]

So, in this image you created Clancy is still part of the rebellion. What this would be before Nico grabbed him, right? Because we dont know for sure what happened afterwards.

[blissful jetty]

clancy is part of the rebellion here because the intention of this image is to convey 'the calm before the storm', tyler's phrase 'the show is a flashback before the final battle'

[tame tendon]

guys what if Tyler says tonight that they ran out of shirts with numbers and just annouces second part clancy randomly

and then plays drag path

[stray kettle]

Anyway…here’s drag path

[tame tendon]

imagine how crazy would be lights out

then dim lights and a brand new song

that would make people go fucking crazy

and i mean really fucking crazy

well that's at least how i would react

[gilded cape]

No number

We're not cooked yet

"It's not nothing"

[hard iron]

It's so over

[tidal timber]

it doesnt have to be the keyboard smash to mean a double album

[gilded cape]

The conclusion of the story has to be in music

As they've told it

GUYS SHIRT NATION ARE FINDING WHAT APPEARS TO BE NUMBERS

[brazen leaf]

exactly

guys calm down

no numbers just means no keyboard smash

[gilded cape]

no

it means the keyboard smash and the shirts have no relation

[hard iron]

Or maybe they don't want to reveal full tracklist, keyboard smash still might be true

[gilded cape]

i'm a keyboard smash truther

[tidal timber]

this is also true

[tame tendon]

so ARE THEY

[arctic karma]

istg if that keysmash ends up actually being nothing

[gilded cape]

No there are no numbers I freaked out, sorry

[arctic karma]

it’ll be both hilarious and a bit of a let down

[gilded cape]

I'm so nervous for that london night 2 show

[tame tendon]

im doing vialism atp

[arctic karma]

i can’t wait to see what they do at that last show

[gilded cape]

they'll sing lavish and go home

[tame tendon]

they only sing lavish and say that they trolled us with all the 2album clues

[gilded cape]

That's the end of the story, Clancy just fucking dies.

They found a U in the shirt

Uvercompensate

[tame tendon]

adightstsn didnt have u

[brazen leaf]

no it didnt

or did it

idk

[tame tendon]

i meant to say didn't

[brazen leaf]

ah

[gilded cape]

adihgrtnsnd

guys relax, "U" is the new song added to the tracklist so we end up having 25 tracks

[tame tendon]

the line is the missing track conneting both albims

its clearly THE LINE

guys adihgrtnsnd is not happening

the theory is dead we can close the channel bye 😭

[gilded cape]

Bro literally just felt goofy😭

[tame tendon]

guys the london n2 announcement is that they're retiring

last lavish and then they say this is the end

and its not "nothing" after this because they will keep posting photos of tyler and josh monthly on 21th and that's it bye

[gilded cape]

no, they will announce the lavish world tour

[tame tendon]

at the end of it they will marry but fr

[brazen leaf]

do you feef at home
seldom surface
U

😭

we're so cooked with these codes

wtf do they mean

[gilded cape]

headache

[rancid delta]

Don't you doubt them

[tame tendon]

don't you WHAT

[karmic lake]

im afraid to ask, are there numbers on the shirt?

[thorn stirrup]

nope

possibly an u though

[karmic lake]

sigh

just a single u? thats interesting

[stray kettle]

Seems to be a near perfect match to the U in ultimus capitulus

Or however you spell it

[tame tendon]

no

[tame tendon]

found on twitter

[stray kettle]

Fan made

[tame tendon]

i know

but looks real

[dark ermine]

graffitti

btw don’t care about the numbers honestly, there are so many hints about double album and new music in general, no problem guys

[tame tendon]

i just said it looks real 😔
ik its fake, stolen potential posted it

[dark ermine]

I know it’s fake, I just found funny that typo

[graceful hill]

Terminal goes hard as a track title ngl

[cloud lynx]

dark and scary

peace out doubters

[gilded cape]

brooooo the shirt

the U is from the Ultimus Capitulus thing

[compact arrow]

it all makes sense

dauntes inferno

clancy's inferno

haha

what a way to close it out

goddamn

[tame tendon]

do we have someone who knows shit about Dante's inferno

maybe theyd help us find more connections

[compact arrow]

i mean I had to read it back in high school

i graduate from college next year

But from what I remember, it was about a dude's journey through hell.

some could say that DEMA is tyler's personal hell

[tame tendon]

tldr dantes inferno is about him fighting his way from the darkest deepest pits of hell up to god right?

clancys inferno would probably be him getting read of dema

[compact arrow]

nah not to help god

[tame tendon]

?

[compact arrow]

i dont remember all of it ill go snag the spark notes for big parts that i do remember being important

Virgil, the great Roman poet, who has come to guide Dante back to his path, to the top of the mountain. Virgil says that their path will take them through Hell and that they will eventually reach Heaven, where Dante’s beloved Beatrice awaits.

[graceful hill]

Dantes inferno theory makes a comeback????

[compact arrow]

through the journey of hell they pass through different circles of hell each having a reserved sin

like the second circles is reserved for the sin lust

but essentially

[cloud lynx]

i didn't see the video yet, but wdym being right? it's just a theory

[compact arrow]

every letter from the shirts to codes lines up with the tweet and inferno

we will know tomorrow for sure if we are right though

[graceful hill]

Inferno is such a great title

Why tomorrow?

[compact arrow]

not tmr

next show i mean

the 5th

[graceful hill]

Oh

[cloud lynx]

interesting

[compact arrow]

if we get a letter that isnt lining up with the tweet that may be the set list or inferno then this completely falls apart

and then i look like a moron

https://tenor.com/view/xqc-slam-slam-desk-desk-slam-xqc-slam-gif-19145485

I SWEAR TO GOD TYLER DONT FUCK THIS UP

[cloud lynx]

oh yeah i've also realized that a few days ago

the letters seem to match a lot with the word "inferno"

but i didn't include "feef" in it

yeah honestly i think there's a chance it's gonna be called "Inferno"

it would be so funny tho

as the Clancy Tour was already theorized to be called the "Inferno Tour", back before they announced it

based on what we had at the time and the Digital Remains

we literally got imagery of Dema on fire, and (slight concert spoiler?) ||we have even more imagery of it in the concerts||

something's gotta happen, no?

like, this is still left unanswered

if i recall correctly, we also literally got a picture seemingly from the same photoshoot as the picture used to tease The Line, in the Digital Remains
so, the rest also has to be some kind of teasing

[olive plume]

i’m pretty sure today’s show was supposed to prove/disprove the tracklist theory since we had the same amount of keysmash letters and shows left? but we didn’t get numbers today so

either the phrases on tyler’s shirts are pointing to potential lyrics or other relevant phrases (like how dmaorg had “claim cyan” and “follow the torches” as hidden messages that didn’t end up being song titles), or they’re still song titles but potentially maybe the singles from the album? i’m not sure

still very skeptical of the keysmash but i’m open

[cloud lynx]

same

[cloud lynx]

to me these are definitely teasing the album, but in a purposefully ambiguous way

it might just be vague teasing

could be song titles, or keywords in the lyrics, or it could even be just vaguely indirectly related to it (like maybe there's a song about Dema and feeling at home/being in one's comfort zone, but it never says "Do you feel at home?")

[stray kettle]

No Kin, Seldom Surface, and Do You Feel At Home? Just /feel/ like TØP track titles. At the same time, in my head I sometimes think about how “seldom surface” could be a lyrical part of drag path we haven’t seen yet

So many possibilities

[karmic lake]

someone said he might know we're figuring it out so he might be trying throw us off the scent with no code on the shirt, something has to be going on i can feel in my bones

[compact arrow]

Either way we really have nothing else to go off of

and I think tyler tweeted that to help us put it together because this kind of stuff is very precise on where we put the puzzle pieces

[karmic lake]

yeah whats the point of the shirt code and the morse code if this doesnt work

[karmic lake]

yeah and he said this is nothing and he would be straight forward to raise our suspicion so we would remember

[compact arrow]

plus its the conclusion

I think they want it to be fun but not dma.org levels of challenge

[karmic lake]

yeah

[crisp charm]

I still have a hunch that was them making our useless struggle into something meaningful, I don't think they originally meant for there to be any puzzle there to begin with

[tame tendon]

now what if tyler actually just typed out random letters

..and we still get the double album

[compact arrow]

I disagree i think they did mean for this to be a puzzle with the shirts and the letters

[tame tendon]

ill be happy but also NOT

[compact arrow]

however I think they didnt want us spending a billion hours like we did for dma.org

[crisp charm]

It's a very weird keyboard smash though, try typing it out quick and it just doesn't quite make sense for a keyboard smash

[tame tendon]

it kinda does

[compact arrow]

also

look at the marketing for clancy

the I am clancy video

[tame tendon]

d and n was repeated 2 times

[compact arrow]

the way they were presenting this album

and then we got the album

[crisp charm]

Im talking about the Clancy leftover pages that people put on top of each other that you were referring too

[compact arrow]

and it didn't really line up

[compact arrow]

ohhh yeah, i completely agree with that

I said this when I orginally made this thread too

[crisp charm]

I don't think there was ever any puzzle there but they made one in post because they saw the effort we were putting in, which i still respect

[tame tendon]

exactly

they did what tyler said recently

they made up something based on where we go

or something like that

[compact arrow]

The majority of this dema storyline is with the help of the fans btw.

[crisp charm]

Tyler being Clancy was the fan theory he added to the story I'm pretty sure, that's why there's a weird retcon with the letters that was later roughly fixed lol

The visions of a rider in the river

[tame tendon]

AND we still theorize on multiple Clancy's because of this retcon 💀

[crisp charm]

My phone just tried to autocorrect "a" to "assisting" like come on man

[compact arrow]

fans made BF a character instead of an alter ego and Tyler liked the idea of that and thats how nico came to life

[cloud lynx]

yeah he already talked about like being inspired by the fans' theories

[crisp charm]

That's why they say it's just as much of our story as it is theirs

[compact arrow]

its been really cool to watch this unfold, been listening to them since may of 2013

[crisp charm]

Because they are twenty one pilots and so are we

[olive plume]

these shirts would have to be made way in advance for this leg of the tour. unless they made several shirts on the off chance they wanted to trick us (???), there would be no way of them knowing our reaction to them until they saw us react to them. i don’t think they would purposefully shuffle around shirts like that when we know these shirts are part of the story. plus, some of the shirts even had ties to the country and cities they’re performing in that night. they wouldn’t break those connections just because they think we’re “on to” them. if anything, i’d think they’d be expecting us picking up that something is happening and are excited about it (since so many people ignored his shirts until recently but i digress…)

[tame tendon]

a

[cloud lynx]

b

[tame tendon]

c

[cloud lynx]

deef

[tame tendon]

e

[olive plume]

i think it’s more like tyler noticed the fans were receptive to having a sort of “villain” to root against and he also found catharsis by giving blurryface a “seat at the table” to have a conversation with him, as an actual “person.” so it made sense that he would do the same to the “good” parts of him, and then clancy was born. tyler also probably felt that since we had someone to “root against,” it would be appropriate for us to have someone to “root for”

i think he’s been wanting to tell a story like this for a while and the fact we were so eager and playing into the idea of characters and a whole world got him to gather that courage and really take the plunge

[tame tendon]

feef 😔

[tame tendon]

tyler himself doesn't exist in dema

[olive plume]

i know that

[tame tendon]

tyler is a normal guy split in clancy and blurryface, both placed in dema

[olive plume]

when i said “tyler,” i meant him as a person/the storyteller

i’m talking about his writing process 😭

i’m very aware he doesn’t exist in the story. he’s playing clancy

[tame tendon]

yeah and that probably makes it complicated for some to understand

because he plays clancy

clancy could be played by anyone tho

just like nico

[olive plume]

but this is tyler’s story and clancy is his self-insert character so he’s clancy

like how josh coming into his life and “saving” him and the band made tyler turn josh into the torchbearer who guides clancy and “saves” him

[tame tendon]

im sorry im just tired im not thinking right

but yeah what you say definitely makes sense

the second album could do anything..

from being "inferno" "tyler" "nico" or even "torchbearer"

id say we wait and find out but we are supposed to theorize and hype up random numbers

[timid osprey]

I want the album to be like a multiple perspective from the ppl of Dema but I think that’s too abstract even for TØP

[compact arrow]

I think a book will be made

to fill the gaps

[timid osprey]

That would be so good

Or something akin to the journal 3 book like gravity falls

[compact arrow]

I think people forget that twenty one pilots is a business

[timid osprey]

What do you mean? Your right but

[compact arrow]

they will push more stuff out for $ but tyler and josh make sure that its quality

so I could easily see a book being written

[timid osprey]

Oh yeah

[compact arrow]

however other bands will push some insane dogshit for $

i have yet to see dogshit be published by them

also for the record, SAI was a solid album

still dont understand the hate it gets to this day

[timid osprey]

Yeah as long as it’s not AI slop or smth (which Tyler wouldn’t have) or like NFTS I’m fine

I’ve come around to SAI

[compact arrow]

I think tyler does not fuck with ai lol

in terms of his content

[timid osprey]

My hot take that will get me on the clique guillotine is Clancy is worse than SAI I love them both but

I just feel SAI, while more poppy, had a more concise identity

[compact arrow]

trench is number 1

[timid osprey]

REAL

[compact arrow]

everything else is in its own league

[timid osprey]

I’m biased towards trench bc it was my first era for me

I just feel Clancy is kinda all over the place

[tender musk]

that’s like the signature twenty one pilots thing

[tame tendon]

how many top albums do we think we'll ever get

like from now until the.. retirement

[olive plume]

i would like to know the details of their contract with FBR and how many records they signed on for

[rancid delta]

depends on how long they go on for

like until they die or choose to retire

[tender musk]

they live for music, i mean it is their passion

outside of family ofc

[tame tendon]

id say they will retire when theyre like 50

no

in their fifties

but could be later or sooner

[rancid delta]

if thats true somewhere between 5-10 more, if they average an album every 3 years or so

[tame tendon]

anyway even after that they would probably be happy to play some of their music and could go on some tours later

at least 5

[rancid delta]

they could also go the route green day currently is and just go until one of them dies

[compact arrow]

if the part 2 is true

[tame tendon]

like right now we have 6 albums from them

[compact arrow]

clancy may be #1 overall

[tame tendon]

i think at least 5 more is definitely

[olive plume]

tyler says they’re going to keep going for as long as they can so he better be taking care of his body so they’ll still be able to do that i’m sure they could still do acoustic sets if tyler wrecks his legs too bad but it wouldn’t be entirely the same

[rancid delta]

clancy overtook trench for me, while i think trench is more cohesive and is the better album overall, clancy has the better songs

clancy > trench

[tame tendon]

YES

but no

for me its =

[bright tinsel]

The first 3 songs on Clancy sound like they’re from 3 different albums.

[rancid delta]

its very close

[timid osprey]

Agree to disagree ig

[rancid delta]

i listen to trench when i want to vibe. i listen to clancy when i want to feel

[compact arrow]

at least hes taking care of his voice

[timid osprey]

music is subjective so

[tame tendon]

rab is the best guys

[compact arrow]

Unlike Brendon Urie lol

[tame tendon]

im not even kidding rab songs besides vessel demos are the best stuff they ever made

who tf is brendon urie

[compact arrow]

panic at the disco

never took care of his voice

[tame tendon]

oh this guy

[compact arrow]

sorry but nothing can beat morph or chlorine rn

[rancid delta]

such a shame the panic run ended off on such a mid album, pftw wouldve been a better closer. vlv is so mid

[tame tendon]

yes and no

[bright tinsel]

Agreed. I would still say Trench feels the most mature and cohesive. Even from an objective lens. That doesn’t make it definitively the best…but I think Trench is the best.

[compact arrow]

when you break down morph lyrically and instrumentally its truly insane

[tame tendon]

it is

||(like most songs on trench btw)||

[bright tinsel]

Crisis of faith + existentialism + broken coping mechanisms all in one song

[compact arrow]

https://youtu.be/fFcB9oTzYRA?si=eMxd31ofk1K7E-qH

[tame tendon]

tbh i overplayed chlorine and it is not my fav anymore

i barely listen to it now

i was scared of the same happening with navigating but no navigating will forever be goated

[timid osprey]

that was me w redecorate

for like a year straight

[tame tendon]

i need to gatekeep those good songs a little for this to not happen

[bright tinsel]

Same. I listened to Clancy on REPEAT from release for like 6 months, to the point where I now had to detox myself off it.

[tame tendon]

that's why you actually need a few artists and not only one to enjoy because overplaying sucks

[bright tinsel]

Rotating music more broadly definitely helps you appreciate it more. You don’t want listening to your favorite album to feel like a cycle that you’re trapped in.

I took a break from TØP for a couple months, and when I came back to it, it felt like the songs had new life breathed into them. I felt myself actually listening more deeply to the lyrics and noticing new soundbites.

[tame tendon]

i usually listen to full albums from the beginning to the end, but if i only liked twenty one pilots then i would relisten to their entire tracklist 3 times a week which would suck

(because it would get boring)

[tame tendon]

same, i found some new artists to enjoy and only after some time i learned to appreciate top music even more than before

[bright tinsel]

Same! It’s crazy but awesome how that works.

[bright tinsel]

I also listen to full albums. No better way to do it. 🤝

[tame tendon]

yeah playlists just dont work for me 😔

[bright tinsel]

Me neither, throws off my vibes way too much.

[tame tendon]

i feel like an album is like a book, meant to be read from the first to the last page, even tho remembering certain parts of it sometimes are enjoyable too

but the best experience is the entire experience

[shadow cipher]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 4!

[graceful hill]

I have a metal playlist that has like my favorite metalcore/metal/hard rocj

[bright tinsel]

Bingo.

[graceful hill]

I think a Playlist is good if you can't decide what to listen to LOL

[bright tinsel]

If you try to listen to an album and find yourself skipping through everything, you either haven’t given it a fair shake, or that artist might just suck.

[cloud lynx]

i personally have a playlist on my phone with some albums (including BF Trench SAI Clancy but also other artists) and i put it on shuffle lol
though i sometimes manually change the song (not in the mood etc...)

[bright tinsel]

Do you listen to SWS?

[graceful hill]

Sleeping with sirens?

[bright tinsel]

Yes.

[graceful hill]

I haven't really

There's a band I listen to occasionally that has a feature from Kellen Quinn but that's about it

[tame tendon]

idk if any of you heard hurry up tommorow but if yes then yknow that this album is the most enjoyable when you listen to the entirety of it

especially with the perfect transitions

[graceful hill]

I like Wage War and Fit For A King among others

[tame tendon]

metal is cool but just couldn't listen to it

[dark ermine]

What did I miss again 😭

[tame tendon]

barely anything

just a letter instead of numbers

[dark ermine]

oh

[lucid steeple]

not sure if anyone’s ever pointed this out but it’s why I’m feeling like we’re going to get a double album or Clancy part 2 (also sorry I’m jumping in randomly to say this I just wanted to share)

[tame tendon]

everyone pointed this out sorry 😔

[lucid steeple]

my bad, I’m not up to date on this server 😭

[tame tendon]

nahh not even the server

this is literally the very beginning of double album theory

[lucid steeple]

a second instance of my bad 😭

i don’t know much about the lore I just thought it was cool

[wraith gulch]

Don’t feel bad

[shadow cipher]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 32!

[wraith gulch]

It’s a lot to keep up with

[tender musk]

the very beginning was technically the keyboard smash not lining up with the tracklist

[tame tendon]

yeah it's a mess

[graceful hill]

scream into breakdown is incredible

[tame tendon]

then the fact that it wasnt full length album would be one of the first pieces of evidence to explain that

[tame tendon]

bro it's just too much going on id be the one getting a breakdown listening to it

[graceful hill]

😲

Bleghs also go hard

[tender musk]

alright fine u got me😵‍💫

[wheat gorge]

Journal 3 mentioned !!!! but yes, I would love an actual book, whether its just a better, more in depth version of the Clancy Journal or like an actual novelization of the story, going into all of the in-between bits like Clancy's nine years, the events before HDS, between Levitate and SAI, etc.

[tame tendon]

movie, book, album, whatever - we need the end of the storyline to finnaly come

[bright tinsel]

Pierce The Veil!

[graceful hill]

Nope

[karmic lake]

thats a good point actually

[lean mango]

double album but it's 9 songs instead of 11

[weak thorn]

The missing, last song in Clancy is...

||Do You Feef At Home?||

[blissful jetty]

••|••/••
NI•••E•••N
also 6 dots
maybe that was a hint about the remaining letters in the final word?

N I E N | F (by the shirt)

I N F E • N • oh that looks stylish

[tall lodge]

Lord

Lord have mercy

We’re actually getting a double album

We’re not delusional guys trust

[compact arrow]

Never have been

[tame tendon]

we can only say that when it's announced

[tall lodge]

If all of this is not for a double album I’m going to crash out 😭

[boreal portal]

wtf is inferno

[brazen leaf]

a possible

double album title

has been teased a few times

[hot stream]

I found a comment on Instagram mentioning that the background picture of their website (the fire one) has a file name onrefni.jpg

Has this ever been discussed? Or found?

[brazen leaf]

its just inferno reversed?

[hot stream]

Yeah

[brazen leaf]

hmm

inferno definitely is something

and i think its likely to be a song or double album title

[hot stream]

Exactly if it were just to be the asset or the design they’d just call it inferno and move on

Why would they reverse the file name

[brazen leaf]

ye

[cloud lynx]

there's def smth with that word

[wheat gorge]

amongst all other reasons, "Inferno" is such a perfect word for an album for them, they love one word titles

[lean mango]

He'll pull a switcheroo on us and call it Inferyes

[stuck frigate]

That is huge, is that true?

[brazen leaf]

it is true

[sly hazel]

Yeah that's been like that since the beginning

It's why everyone kinda latched onto the word Inferno

and thought the tour would be "The Inferno Tour"

and then we got Dema burning in the Digital Remains too

[brazen leaf]

The Inferno Tour goes so hard

Inferno would be such a good album title in general

i remember thinking thats what clancy would be called

so i hope it is the double album name

[sly hazel]

It's this:

[stuck frigate]

Wow

[modern atlas]

Also no idea if this is important or not but the file with the boys is named revvsdd.png

[sly hazel]

Everything on the site also has weird names ye

Ingoring the merch pictures

[shadow cipher]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 25!

[modern atlas]

welllll i mean it is kkind of an inferno

but the fact that its backwards is kidn of a big deal

[sly hazel]

There was a whole team of people tryna figure out what everything meant for a while

[modern atlas]

did they figure anything out

[sly hazel]

Nah from what we could tell a lot of the stuff just looks like keysmashes

the inferno image is definitely something
everything else just looks like whoever made them (Mark probably) was just quickly saving stuff out and called it asdasd123

[brazen leaf]

agreed

[olive plume]

these keysmashes… tyler’s keysmash… we were all getting tossed around last year trying to make sense of it all

[sly hazel]

If Tyler's keysmash actually ends up being something I will feel so betrayed but also so vindicated

[dark ermine]

I think it’s nothing really important, “Inferno” is the name used for a variant of the Clancy vinyl, nothing really groundbreaking

[olive plume]

“inferno” was also directly referenced in a clancy letter

but it is interesting that we have a lot of fire imagery used in promo material and merch but we haven’t exactly seen that executed on the page/screen

unless it’s meant to be a quiet inferno/fire inside

i think a lot of us were expecting something more explosive though

it’s still likely that whatever second tour clancy gets will be called the inferno tour since SAI’s second tour was named the icy tour. the contrast there would be cool

especially with the whole bishops wielding artificial light/neon while the banditos and clancy are utilizing more natural light/fire

[brazen leaf]

inferno is pretty significant in the lore

[olive plume]

also would be kinda funny if the inferno stuff (and tyler’s keysmash tracklist theory) was meant to be part of whatever comes next, whether it’s a whole album or an EP. they were already teasing the second part of clancy before the first part even came out

[dark ermine]

Guys I agree with you, I’m just saying that the word “Inferno” used in that context isn’t really important because it could be a reference to that vinyl

[olive plume]

i’ve had this silly sort of theory for a while that they already made all the videos for clancy part 2 and then they realized they had no videos for the first part of clancy and that’s why they were scrambling to make all those videos last minute. i know it’s most likely not true but the thought makes me laugh

[brazen leaf]

but it COULD be something

its weird putting it backwards as well

like if thats the name of the background just call it Inferno

similar to the fact that tyler wears a clancy shirt in reverse

idk

[olive plume]

they’ve done backwards speech in songs before (NATN) and it was meant to be code for other banditos. “inferno” itself could also have been part of all this

[brazen leaf]

yea

[dark ermine]

Dude I was watching the video of Overcompensate and...how MAD I’m gonna be if the double album doesn’t actually exist. Such a cinematic song, the sample of Bandito... THEY MUST have interrupted the part of Album full of lore. I love Clancy, it's my second favorite TØP album but I know that if the second part of the real album came out it will become my absolute favorite. It’s just missing "that" thing.

[tame tendon]

hey guys

14 songs from self titled + 11 new songs

what if the album is not a second part to clancy, but to the whole first album talking about the entire story

and they rerelease self titled with these new 11 tracks

those titles sound like st titles

also ive seen a theory about june 3rd being the release date because of the ••|••/•• and 625

and this day is somehow related to isle of flightless birds

guys WTF

also dont kill me but it would be even better than anything clancy relayed

[cloud lynx]

why self titled

it isn't even a part of the story

[tame tendon]

it IS kinda

[cloud lynx]

it inspired it for sure, but that's it

[tame tendon]

it is some kind of a prologue

a car a torch a death

all those lyrical references to dema storyline

its all foreshadowing the story

expanding it would foreshadow the end of it while not making a second album

[cloud lynx]

i'm pretty sure they would not rerelease self titled, and even less add more songs to it, as the ending to the Dema story lol

[tame tendon]

im pretty sure they could include coconut sharks in their new album if they wanted

soooo

they can come up with anything

were just theorizing

[olive plume]

i can’t see them repackaging an old album with new songs that progress the story forward. the ONLY album i can see them doing that with at this point in time is blurryface, but that’s only due to the anniversary coming up

[cloud lynx]

yeah

[olive plume]

blurryface might get a deluxe with live versions of the songs, if anything, but if we’re getting brand new songs, it’s going to be either packaged as its own thing or with clancy

[sly hazel]

I think it's more likely that BF10 will be a deluxe album similar to the Vessel re-release with some extra tracks on it like the doubt demo etc

Whatever the next bits of the actual story are I think will be a real release
Either a new album or a Clancy Deluxe part2 type thing

[olive plume]

i’m also wondering if they’re going to re-release blurryface live or at least put that on streaming for the anniversary

[sly hazel]

That would be really cool tbf
BF10 is like live + demos + bonus tracks

[olive plume]

i didn’t buy vessel’s anniversary edition because i already had the standard vinyl (don’t have a record player though ) but i think i will snatch up whatever they put out for blurryface

[sly hazel]

I do wonder how this whole marketing is going to work though
With BF10 being such a big deal, they'd want to do that release and then give it some room to breathe before going into the next stages of a double release so are we maybe looking at a summer clancy pt2?

[olive plume]

i’m scared they’re gonna end up making clancy live just on vinyl like they originally did for blurryface live so i will eventually have to buy a record player since i will 100% be buying clancy live

[sly hazel]

I'm a shill for vinyl, defnitely get a record player
there's nothing better than that crackly sound

[olive plume]

i’m also thinking either summer for the first few singles off clancy 2 and then maybe a fall release for the album, maybe to have it coincide with trench

but summer for sure

something will happen

[sly hazel]

if 6/25 ends up becoming real I am going to lose my mind

[tame tendon]

live albums are out on streaming anyways

id love having a cd more tho, but even without a record player id buy a vinyl for collection

[brazen leaf]

ohh i rlly hope they put the live album on cd

[tame tendon]

14 songs BF + 11 songs new tho?

[olive plume]

i think we gotta let go of trying to fit in numbers into theories, especially concerning the keysmash tracklist theory, when i believe, at this point in time, it’s been disproven. or at least heavily not likely

the idea was that the remaining shirts would fill in the gaps in the keysmash but for that to happen, we should have gotten a shirt with numbers yesterday, to kickstart the rest of the shirts also having numbers, and that didn’t happen

so unless the phrases on the shirts are song titles for only the singles that’s gonna be coming out next, or lyrics of some kind, then i think we can safely say we won’t get a full tracklist reveal on tyler’s shirts

unless, of course, we aren’t getting a full album and just a handful of extra songs and the shirts we do have already revealed those

[brazen leaf]

very true

[karmic flicker]

I'm so ready for blurryface to tweet and delete it, then you know shits about to hit the fan.

[bright tinsel]

I agree.

[patent coral]

Definitely, once double album comes out it reframes the beat change in Overcompensate and the “wait what?” background vocals. Clancy pt. 1 was an intentional breaking of pace to reflect and go inward before the final confrontation.

The “wait what’s” are literally our confusion as the album shifts into something totally unexpected than what we thought it would be

[tribal raptor]

This was my thinking too! https://discord.com/channels/269657133673349120/1363730251661705397

[tribal raptor]

I really like this idea. It makes a lot of sense. For me, I had been thinking of it as a looking back, a reflection on all that has been, right before a significant change is about to occur.

[tame tendon]

clancy part 3

[tame tendon]

what if they

what if they just release clancy 2 on may 24th 😔

[patent coral]

Funny because it’s a very similar concept to Sable Fable by Bon Iver as a double album

A look back before a push forward

[bold wigeon]

Not yet a double album truther but what if finding origin places of all the shirt pictures is giving us list of places where there will be second leg concerts?
Deep in the delulu land 😅

[lean mango]

Unlikely because a lot of them don't have specific places

[tame tendon]

alright guys hear me out

SAI was a bold move from them (a very different music genre choice that would disappoint some of the fans)

so

i believe that the next album in the storyline (the double album thing) should also be something different

to be exact, an album that will make you feel the pain of living in DEMA, an album emotionally overwhelming

just like if you took the sad songs out of trench and made an album of those but even more

sai was made to be a happy album in dark times of covid, but is clancy somehow overwhelming? no, the songs sound happy, even if some lyrics are dark, the overall vibe is not dark

so that's why i think the second part of clancy/whatever will be a dark album, full of songs like neon gravestones and leave the city

[blissful jetty]

there may not actually be an album at all
personally, i only expect a beautiful (or an open) ending to the story
don't want to be disappointed, expecting a whole album of new music

but i'm pretty sure of the single, the snippet of which is played at the end of the 'paladin strait' MV

and if there's an album... i'd like to get more 'redecorate'-like songs - very deep poetry on themes that are not commonly discussed in society
more electric guitars and inventive synths
and if 'adihgrtnsnd' is confirmed - i want a closing track called 'dema'

[tame tendon]

i see a lot people declining this saying that its different

uh

the end snippet is the line

the line is what tyler feels inside at the moment while nico grabs him, the music playing at the end of PS may not perfectly transition into the line intro, but its almost the same

(more of the end snippet is like 2 seconds IN of the line so its not accurate but it is it)

that would even more confirm the theory of the line connecting the first part "|" and the "/"

[blissful jetty]

no, they're completely different

the synth is more like HDS

[blissful jetty]

following this theory, we should get another MV for 'the line'?

right after 'paladin strait'

[blissful jetty]

https://youtu.be/Tr4XNK-wYI8?si=ZrEILUeBNC6TyKI8

for example

[tame tendon]

it is here

its what tyler feels inside

thoughts

also the mv is related to an arcane character viktor who was in some sort of a become a bishop or not situation (thats a very tldr description tho)

it all matches

that mv is just representing what clancy feels inside

[blissful jetty]

but then the supposed 'the line' MV would leave us with the cliffhanger again

i'm rather expecting an MV that will show the banditos' messaging (with letters) to each other, along with clancy becoming a bishop

[tame tendon]

the next LORE mv will be continuation of the paladin strait events from the moment that clancy was grabbed

[blissful jetty]

i doubt

[tame tendon]

maybe not next but there will be one

the cliffhanger is still here anyway

[brazen leaf]

why lol

its almost guaranteed

we need to see what happens after that cliffhanger

[blissful jetty]

because it's twenty one pilots
they can show anything
including events parallel to the 'paladin strait' MV ending

especially if we're expecting an album, there will be more than one MV released
it would be logical for them to use the time confusion narrative again

there are a large number of hints to HDS on tyler's shirts now, bishop nills has also been mentioned - 'heavydirtysoul' and 'goner' are the opening and closing songs respectively - 'blurryface' cycle

[tame tendon]

top tier ending would be if they somehow ended the story with A and B

A - inferno. dema burns, no more bishops, the story is over, the cycle wont repeat

B - the cycle happens again with clancy becoming a bishop

[blissful jetty]

bishops andre and nico are still missing. perhaps the name 'nico' is in the encrypted phrase 'NI---E---N'

[blissful jetty]

it's nearly impossible to burn down a cement city

[brazen leaf]

yes but i think that will be the next mv

[brazen leaf]

😭

this aint real bro

[blissful jetty]

i think the burning dema (in DR) is an allusion to the word 'inferno', since the dema towers are in the center of the circle
there is a parallel to 'dante's inferno'. but the center of hell was a cold place in that story

it makes more sense to burn blurryface or nico itself - like on 'clancy' cover

[tame tendon]

this is not that deep

also it is not impossible

they probably got some gasoline running there, a lot of flammable materials

hds car came from dema, and yknow how it ended up

[blissful jetty]

nearly impossible. cement is non-flammable

[brazen leaf]

its not real life its a story lol

they can burn anything

[blissful jetty]

i'm sure they're doing it all for a purpose

so they won't burn down the city or anything

[tame tendon]

gasoline is flammable

also we only see cement but im pretty sure the insides of every single living area are made with more than cement

its a huge city

[tame tendon]

plus this

[bright tinsel]

Agreed.

Does anyone knows if that’s a new piece or been there for a while?

[timber pasture]

i feel like these would look much better as swim trunks than just regular shorts

[tame tendon]

Holy shit those shorts go so hard

[boreal portal]

hii any inferno

[tame tendon]

its been here for a while

dont remember those being called inferno tho

[modern atlas]

pretty sure a while

I saw them on a story highlight on somebodies instagram from like november

[olive plume]

yeah, i think they dropped sometime around when we got overcompensate

since the description of the item specifically has an overcompensate reference

[tame tendon]

clancy had a huge character development from trench to clancy

writing sai really left him traumatized 😔

[bright tinsel]

Same….i wish they weren’t so pricey

[plucky cypress]

How confident is everyone in the double album at this point?

[onyx dust]

pretty confident that there's something

[tame tendon]

I’m still confident but I’m definitely losing my confidence in the adihgrtnsnd idea at least

[plucky cypress]

Wait, which idea is that?

[tame tendon]

They were letters that Tyler tweeted in that order on the day overcompensate dropped and people thought they were the first letters of song titles on the double album

Wait do you know about the shirt numbers

[plucky cypress]

Not much. I'm new to the discord. But I did see some of the shirt images

[high sundial]

feel free to look into it here https://discord.com/channels/269657133673349120/1363715481697259672

[plucky cypress]

This is exactly what I need thanks

[karmic lake]

i also remember tyler saying redecorate was where they were going next like darker in tone or something like that

welcome to our delusions lmao /lh /aff

[tame tendon]

what if twenty one pilots account or blurryface post adightstsn stuff

[cloud lynx]

i'd argue Vignette and Next Semester are quite Redecorate-like in some aspects

but yeah overall i'm a bit "👁️ what are u hiding"

[tame tendon]

i see no redecorate in those songs ESPECIALLY in next semester 😭

vignette lyrically seems like a continuation of redecorate tho but the beat? nahh

[tame tendon]

I see redecorate in lavish definitely

[tame tendon]

you get it right 🔥

[tame tendon]

Yeah, I like redecorate more but I see the similarities

[karmic lake]

same

[tame tendon]

JOSH DUN

analysis mode guys

find the dates

[karmic lake]

im just impressed he can run 10 miles

[tame tendon]

why wouldn't he

[karmic lake]

im just saying i could get no where close to that lmao

[tame tendon]

yeah but its josh

[karmic lake]

thats true

[tame tendon]

he plays drums on high elevation building

why wouldnt he run 10 miles

[tender musk]

backslide gives me redecorate vibes

especially in the instrumentation

but the album as a whole isn't very "dark"

[cloud lynx]

i have to disagree

lyrically and thematically it is very dark and emotional

Next Semester, Vignette, ATROFD

[tame tendon]

yeah but musically

its not

its like an album full of the happy trench songs

[cloud lynx]

eh

i'd say the tone is quite darker than Trench

[tame tendon]

there's no bandito or neon gravestones sounding-like song in clncy

[cloud lynx]

musically

tho RiTN sounds quite sad imo

[tame tendon]

im only talking about the musical aspect now

[tame tendon]

snapback too, but nothing close to the trench sad tracks

yeah

[cloud lynx]

fair enough for that

[silk bolt]

Also 13 words 13 slides in Josh's newest post

[molten sandal]

6/13/25 inferno release !

i hope im not delulu

man

[bright tinsel]

True.

[bright tinsel]

Yep.

[plucky cypress]

I see a lot of people saying it would be like a Clancy Pt 2. Why not a completely distinct album?

[olive plume]

mostly because they’ve said clancy is the ending of the story so whatever comes next to finish off the cliffhanger has to be part of clancy in some way

[plucky cypress]

Makes sense

A part 2 but different theme is possible also

[wheat gorge]

I mean, its not out of the realm of possibility for them to introduce new themes in eras. They went heavy on Chlorine and the Ned theme half way through Trench. And for SAI, when the Icy Tour started, they focused really hard on the snow, cyan, ice imagery, very different from the blue/pink/yellow disco and pop vibe of Takeover

I could definitely see CUC25/a double album take a different look and vibe built off what Clancy started but still be apart of the Clancy Era brand
