#danger days headcanons

[crashbangprophet]

@ 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!

I am constantly thinking about food in the zones and going INSANE at the missed opportunities in like 90% of fanfics where they're surviving solely on power pup like. NO. do even five minutes of research I beg you there is SO much food stuff in the desert. I guarantee you no killjoy is eating power pup daily that shit is kept in the cabinet for emergencies and the friendly coyotes that come by every once in a while!! If anything they use it like we use spam.

Realistically killjoys would be out roasting crickets and scorpions and collecting bugs for these super protein rich skillets and catching lizards and snakes and rabbits and birds and rodents and shit! They'd set up traps and go like hunting sometimes. They'd go foraging!! Theres so many edible plants actually cacti is edible! And you can do so much with it!! Theyre gonna be out there grilling it and making soups and salads in shitty old pots and throwing in natural herbs and spices! THEYD TAILGATE!!!! They'd have a shelf dedicated to jars of things you can make tea out of!! At least one member of every crew is practically a five star chef! You can literally make a gourmet meal out of materials found within fifty feet of your home base!

Not to mention there'd definitely be greenhouses scattered around with actual fruits and vegetables and some people would bake bread like even if there isnt power and you dont have like a stove or oven like. its not hard to just make your own. Out of rocks and shit and light a fire under it. And there'd be like a farmers market for all that kind of greenhouse grown stuff.

I just want to see killjoys enjoying zone life and culture and not starving!! Becuase they wouldn't be!! They would not fucking eat the dog food!! The desert provides!!!

my favourite thing about danger days is that you can slap any set of pronouns onto any character and be correct.

some fab four headcanons because ive only done slang and these silly little gays are stuck in my head (will probably make one for each of them) part 1: fun ghoul

he's really good at doing that thing where you throw a small piece of food into the air and catch it with your mouth and he does it so often and it pisses all of them off (but in a lovably annoying way)

wears shoes that are always at least 3 sizes too big (he just stuffs them with whatever he can find)

gets at least one new tattoo/piercing every week (nobody knows where he gets them done) (jet star once suggested he did them by himself to which party poison responded that the only way he'd be able to hold a tattoo gun steady for that long is if he was dead)

got confused by which light switches controlled what lights in the diner so he wrote the names of each light on the switch it controlled (in sharpie) (he wrote the wrong names)

is no longer allowed to eat hard candy (he keeps chewing them) (they don't have dental)

Kobra Kid Headcanons lets go

Likes tight clothing, makes him feel more secure and safe.

Will teach you karate if you bribe him enough, but it takes a’lot of bribing.

Doesn’t really care about gender or pronouns, but likes xe/xer pronouns because they sound cool.

Touch his hair and he’ll bite your hand.

Motorbike stunts for days.

A short fuse but a master at keeping cool. When he’s really pissed tho someone will get their teeth knocked in.

Doesn’t admit it but relies heavily on Party to keep his head above water.

Prefers driving around at night when it’s quieter and less bright.

Loves sweet and spicy food, bonus points if its both.

Becomes aggressive when overwhelmed and scared.

Loves sunrises. He will sometimes stay up all night just so he can watch the sun come up early in the morning.

Party helped make his helmet, they’re to thank for the paint job.

Keeps a little dino keychain in his pocket at all times.

Has horrible tan lines from wearing his sunglasses too long in the sun.

Flappy hands and stompy feet when excited.

Light sensitive, thus the sunglasses. Wears them indoors and at night too.

The most anxious around injuries, he doesn’t like blood.

Snorts when he laughs.

Loves the desert and the freedom that comes with it.

Has a very keen sense of smell and is very good at figuring out where the smell is coming from.

Knows sign language and uses it instead of speaking to communicate sometimes.

Absolutely HATES powerpup but forces himself to eat it if theres nothing else even if it makes him sick. Party tries really hard to look for other kinds of food when going on supply runs so his poor brother can eat.

Chews on the straps of his leather gloves when anxious.

Really likes bubbles.

Sleeps in his jacket for security.

A troublemaker with Ghoul and always finds ways to pull off stupid shit with him.

Likes Michael Bay movies.

Hardly ever cries, but when he does it’s cathartic. The others need to intervene because he chokes up while he’s heaving.

Prefers comics over books, he likes looking at pictures better.

Only the girl is allowed to doodle on his bike, if the others try he will deck them.

Most terrified of being captured by Bli, he doesn’t ever want to go back to the city.

Can play the harmonica really well.

Loves old and broken technology because he thinks its cool and likes to fix things.

Teaches the others to read, especially Jet and Ghoul. Ghoul can read but has dyslexia, Jet never really learned how to read properly at all.

Will try to pet any reptile he sees, even if its venomous or poisonous.

Can sleep sitting up, the others sometimes need to do a double take and check if he’s awake or not since he always wears sunglasses.

Obsessed with VHS tapes and has a collection of them with god knows what on them.

Freezes when panicking, will stay in shock at something until someone needs to move him.

Likes close range combat so he can show off his karate skills.

Instead of cussing in an argument he’ll just look at someone like they’re stupid.

Makes action figures for the girl out of spare parts, responsible for all of her robot toys.

Takes AGES to do his hair, hence why he wants no one to touch it.

If he’s not in his room at night, he’s on the diner roof watching the stars.

When the girl was a toddler, she would call him Kobi instead of Kobra.

Has a wide vocabulary due to being educated in the city, but refuses to use it.

Lost a tooth after an accident on the crash track, he gave it to Ghoul who turned it into a pendant.

Idk if anyone remembers me complaining about lacking songs made before the world ended in the Danger Days universe (~2010s) to use in writings and headcanons.

I have officially found the answer.

It’s folk music.

Like think about it. What genre of music would ACTUALLY feasibly spread in a post apocalyptic scenario?? Sure if you really push it and have the necessary equipment, electronic music is totally possible but like. No way everyone who wants to start a little Zone Band on the side can pull that off. Acoustic and homemade instruments (or no instrument at all) would be worlds more efficient when you’re constantly on the go or don’t have access to the power grid. And furthermore, without access to constant/reliable information spreading technology, the best way to get your stuff heard is to send it through the grape vine. From campfire to campfire, mother to daughter, yada yada.

Traditional folk music is rooted in a lot of the same concepts explored in Danger Days (the album) as well. Strength of culture, capitalism makes life suck, nature, anti-war. Also you’re telling me Killjoys wouldn’t be reviving the art of the murder ballad?? Or singing a story about their friend Rock ‘em Randy disappearing into Zone 6 and never returning, and now there’s people singing “The Balled of Rock ‘em Randy” as a cautionary tale to not go places alone?

There’s also so much material there with the Phoenix Witch and Destroya, and anyone can write a little poem that rhymes and set it to a melody. They’d probably make songs out of Graffiti Bible verses.

This makes me want to write Danger Days folk music now because there’s SO much to work with here. And I don’t have to listen to boring rock bands I don’t care about.

[tiredstressedemotionalmess]

fun ghoul is a pepsi drinker. kobra likes coke of the cherry variety specifically (bc hes so fucking in love) and party likes either fanta or mountain dew. and jet loves dr pepper

#this is all real and true and canon actually trust me they told me themselves #danger days #danger days headcanons #fun ghoul #party poison #kobra kid #jet star #my headcanons #and yes jet is a dr pepper enjoyer bc she's my favorite and therefore has the best taste. shut up about it

[basment-bunni]

DD headcanons

Kobra only talks to his friends, he is completely silent in social situations. Poison talks for him most of the time.

Poison collects shiny things, they have necklaces hanging from the diner's rafters, draws full of coloured broken glass, small piles of plastic jewels and lots more.

Jet know a lot about weapons and makes most of the fab four's armoury. Ghoul is one cocky mf, has 0 life preservation skills and spends most of his free time using (destroying) said armoury.

Kobra and the Girl like to draw together.

Ghoul liked to eat bugs when he was little, he still does.

Jet can't read, nor can the Girl but the others are trying to teach them.

Kobra found his leather jacket in pretty good condition and didn't take it off until there was mould growing on it. He still wears it all the time, but it gets washed.

There are whispers of things before Battery City.

Of stubby buildings not unlike the skyscrapers modern citizens proudly call home and safety, but adorned with flimsy wood and glass cut-outs, or plaster casts that range from vain to downright obscene. Of wilderness, untamed, smothering clean and orderly neighbourhoods in an onslaught of burrowing roots, web-woven branches, and leaves serving as nothing more than breeding grounds for pests.

The bones of what once were giants now rest on the outskirts of town, hollowed and forgotten, like stalwart reminders of hardship overcome through ambition and human ingenuity. Yet, if one were to take a closer look at these remains, they would find little to no proof of any of the above: no scars left in the pavement or shattered stone ornaments— only scortched earth, shattered glass tinted by years of grime and canned paints amongst pieces of plastic all strewn about and shriveled up in shame.

Instead, the truth lives in glimpses caught between the pages of tattered journals, lost family albums, and long-overdue history books. There once were museums where Battery City now stands. Churches, libraries, and synagogues. Broadcast stations and astronomical observatories. There were post offices and schools, and houses older than the ages of everyone you've known combined, none of which still standing in the age of Progress and Valor (or more aptly known as the Danger Days).

What remains of the past now rests alone and dejected, a warning lost beneath the waves: Make yourself insignificant enough, and maybe one day you'll get yourself to believe comformity will lead you to survival.

#been thinking about cyberpunk/dystopian settings again lately and ended up using my battery city hcs as a point of reference because it's #got some interesting details like how the only surviving buildings from before the danger days are gas stations corner stores and suburban #homes while everything else got demolished in favour of power plants and skyscrapers #anyways. being so normal about change and the state of disrepair of various landmarks from my youth <- lies (silly) #danger days #killjoys #ttlotfk #battery city #danger days headcanons #headcanon

[blood-injections]

Currently thinking some thoughts about the Jet Star and the Kobra Kid traffic report and how ‘killjoys never die’ and how there’s canonical powers. The killjoy’s different powers in national anthem, the girls power, the energy in the desert that Cherri does his weird focus thing with to never miss a shot that he tells her about. If they all have powers, why can’t the Fab Four? Maybe their power is that they never die.

They don’t know it yet, though. Maybe Doctor D does, maybe that’s why he drilled that phrase into their brains, maybe that’s why he always tells them that they can end this war, maybe that’s why he entrusted the girl to them, because he knows that they all have something magical in common.

But they don’t know it yet, if he knows he hasn’t told them, none of them have figured it out despite the weird close calls they all seem to have had, like when Fun Ghoul was young in battery city and woke up fine from an overdose that should’ve killed him or when Jet Star was bitten by that rattlesnake when she was a pup and got really sick and swore they couldn’t breathe. She says she must have passed out, because when Doctor D found her out back she was just waking back up and healthy as could be.

And then it happens. Kobra and Jet went on a supply run and didn't come back. Back in the diner, the radio was playing. Party was drawing lazily and Ghoul was fiddling with Kobra’s power glove that had been a bit on the fritz lately while they waited for the pair to return. Instead the song on the radio fizzes out, replaced by static and then Doctor Death’s pebbly voice.

Bad news from the zones, tumbleweeds…

They're frozen in shock but they quickly scramble to their feet, terrified and in denial. Poison makes a beeline for Kobra’s bike and Ghoul can’t make himself speak, a lump of horror lodged in his throat. It’s a silent, terrified ride down route guano for the two of them, keeping their eyes peeled for signs of a fight.

It isn’t hard to spot the bodybags.

They’re a startling black and white contrasting to the orange-brown tones of the desert sand. And there’s two of them.

When they’re unzipped, two familiar faces are revealed, their skin off-coloured, pale and lifeless. Poison shatters and Ghoul tries hard to keep it together for the one friend he has left

They take the bodies up to that one vista that Kobra loved because he could see all around for miles and keep watch over the desert and that Jet loved because it was the best spot to stargaze. The sun is nearing the horizon when they start digging. They work in silence and it isn’t hard to hear when the movement starts.

At first it’s a shifting of fabric that goes unnoticed, then it’s perplexed mumbles and then it’s a zipper sliding open. Poison and Ghoul have both stopped digging to stare at the body bag thats now open and the person that’s sitting up.

“What the fuck.” Jet Star says, looking from the two of them armed with their shovels and then down at themself. She looks at her hands and then at her stomach, where her shirt is matted with dried blood. Her hands press at where she can remember there being a wound but where there’s now no pain, no fresh blood, no nothing.

The other body bag wiggles, muffled curses sounding. All the killjoys turn to stare at it. Poison rushes over, unzipping it and pulling their somehow alive brother up into their arms.

Party is the sort of person who loves all bugs in theory but if you put a bug anywhere near them they (party) die

#chaoticbuggybitchboy #party poison #danger days headcanons

[silliest-dude]

The reason Kobra is spelled incorrectly is because Kobra picked his name AFTER Party, and he saw the way that Party’s name used the same first letters and he was very set on being called Cobra Kid but wanted to match Party, so he decided to replace the C with a K

Some lil Fabulous Four Headcanons for the soul

The quickest way to put a smile on Kobra’s face is to give him anything shiny. It has to be VERY shiny.

Party fucking WORSHIPS Britney Spears.

Ghoul is the best at doing graphic eyeliner. He does the girl’s a’lot and they almost always match.

The crew steal each other’s EVERYTHING and it’s near impossible to find anything useful in the diner without asking everybody where it is. Sometimes nobody knows either.

Jet really loves bugs. Especially beetles. When he finds a cool bug he gets so excited he giggles like a little girl and just stares at it until someone has to pull him away.

Ghoul likes to steal Party’s socks simply out of spite just to annoy them. He purposefully only takes one of each pair too. Everyone can hear Party’s constant screaming about “mY mOtHErfUCKinG sOckS” throughout the diner.

Kobra likes collecting bottle caps. He has so many that he could make a suit of armor out of them.

Party has an oral fixation and bites things at random, this could be anything from pencils and collars to Ghoul. They bite Ghoul a’lot.

Ghoul once tried snorting popping candy, nobody wants to talk about what happened afterwards.

Party owns a shit ton of heels and constantly falls into shit and twists their ankles when strutting around, that’s not going to stop them from wearing heels though.

When it’s cold at night and they’re all at the diner, they huddle together and sleep in a pile. Ghoul is always in the middle.

Jet is the best hairstylist and does everyone’s hair if they ask. He can do a’lot of elaborate shit and everybody is fucking astounded with how good he is.

Kobra can breakdance. Nobody knows this except Party, but he can.

At times when Party is sad, he makes little origami paper stars out of any paper he can find. He’s made a shit ton of them. He gives them to Jet because he really likes them.

Jet has an affinity for collecting cool cups and mugs. He thinks they’re neat.

When they’re bored and both at the diner, Kobra and Ghoul like to play hide and seek. Kobra’s really good at it and often falls asleep in his hiding spot, when Ghoul can’t find him he makes a shit ton of noise to get Kobra to show himself because Ghoul knows damn well he feel asleep.

Ghoul and Jet once tried to go sand boarding (basically snowboarding but with the fucking sand), it didn’t end well and they were both washing sand out of their hair for weeks.

Party is a god at knitting and has knitted a shit ton of blankets and jumpers for everyone, they sometimes drive around and gives them to joy’s that need them for cheap.
