who is joan wjy is she of arc ? why is she significant to mike chemical romance. sits down grabsmy notepad
U KNOW SHE IS SIGNIFICANT TO MIKE CHEMICAL ROMANCE. OMGGG
ok so. joan of arc was a patron saint of france during the early to mid 15th century. she played a Major part in the hundred years war and even led france to victory during their siege of the orléans in 1429. and we dont actually know her real name so she is just st joan!!! she ks commonly called jeanne de ark/arc tho. french things 👍
anywho. poor girl was only 19 when she died. around 12/13 years of age she started having "visions" from god telling her that she had to make a dent jn the war and serve as a soldier. however, since france had little to know rights for women at the time, the voices in her visjons told her to cut her hair short and she declared that the angels speaking to her were archangel michael (MIKEY FUCKING WAY), saint catherine and saint margaret. she did not know how to read or write, and she was burned at the stake for heresy - basically opposing the bible and orthodox catholic teachings that france was built upon. she died under unfair circumstances and did her absolute best to live up to the visions she was given and what she thought was the right thing to do. most importantly, she was a peasant. a helpless peasant girl that died at the hands of people that believed she was a danger to their religion but she was so pure and untouched on the inside she was above even the most decorated army veterans because she Stayed Human.
SO. this ties into michael romance a few different ways. firstly, gerard wrote a song called maya the psychic and i swear to god it just belongs to joan
and also! shes. shes really similar to gerard. he talks a lot about having this deep feeling inside him to start up mcr right after he witnessed 9/11 (kind of like her visions). but he also felt that he would die young, alone, and unloved by everyone, similar to what joan Knew she would die with. she knew, that as a woman going into a very, very dangerous war she was barely equipped for, that she was going to die young and seen as unfaithful and unloved but atleast she would have gone through with her visions. and That. that. that is mostly the theme of danger days itself. tbh. its about running face first into a fight knowing youre going to lose in the end but still going because atleast you didnt just stand around waiting for something to happen. its about taking the hands of the people around you and promising them a better life while knowing that atleast half of you - including yourself - are not going to make it, but still doing it because you cannot let yourself be subject to evil. its about seeing the love and the beauty in the world even through the toughest shit you have Ever gone through. and thats what joan was about!!

MCR's veneration of catholicism is actually really fucking cool considering they have songs that are VERY punk and some songs that are literally just gerard channeling the spirit of joan of ark
