Most reviewers of SAI: “it’s just a stupid pop-album” TOP fans: “so here’s a reference in this song that relates to medieval mythology which within the broader context reveals an analysis of our own capitalist society, which is illustrated in part by the bishops of DEMA and their religion of vialism which has direct ties to Zoroastrianism......”

This man is a treasure
-
That pattern aligning with the Google maps shape of Clancy Way is some of deepest conspiracy theory I’ve ever heard.
-
If it wasn't for you, most of us would never understand the subtext behind tøp's cryptic messages and the origins of their symbols. You bless us with knowledge sir.
-
i know there's someone at the door they call for help of this i'm sure but do i want to say goodbye to all the glowing eyes
-
I just realised Clancy means "red warrior" and Recrosse is the knight in the faerie queene... Maybe Clancy is Redcrosse then
-
"what’s twisted is that the moment i can afford any food i want is the moment i start getting it for free. several years ago, broke tyler would have cried with happiness." -Tyler Joseph

i am honored to watching this and knowing this guy
-
On the window of the shop during "Chocker" there is Ned with the text "Have you seen me?", my theory is that the bishops are looking for him, because they now Ned could change things.
-
With Levitate's "Oh, I know how to levitate up off my feet And ever since the seventh grade I learned to fire-breathe" and Tyler trying to get the toy dragon back in the Choker video I thought that Trash was really a metaphor for Tyler's creativity but perhaps it's been corrupted, yet still glowing with the Bandito's yellow hope.

The nursery rhyme the mulberry bush was originally sang by prisoners during their morning exercise where they would walk around an actual mulberry bush, so there could be a chance that the song could be about being trapped or imprisoned in some way
-
i think maybe clancy isn't dead, but they want us to think that he is, like, if he is actually dead, why would there be the "destroy clancy"? 🤨🤨🤨
-
I just realized josh captures and drags Tyler back just like nico did in jumpsuit
-
me changing my wallpaper after learning that trash the dragon is not a good guy:
-
Are we ignoring how the dragon at 2:50 looks EXACTLY like the dragon on the album cover??? Not even just the eyes, the way the head and wings are placed, the shape of the fire coming out of its nose, EVERYTHING. No way this is a coincidence.
-
I absolutely love watching and reading new theories, because everytime I do, I go back to listen to all the Twenty One Pilots songs and I swear its like listening to them again for the first time. That new perspective, the different messages that we can get out of just one song is astounding. We constantly reshape this songs to see different perspectives, different stories, different messages. And I love it.
-
Never stop making these. I wish you had a bigger audience. These videos are so good.
-
you are so talented, i can’t wait to see your name on some big productions
-
but you ended up being so right about those eerie, piercing yellow eyes, y'know, 'cause of Bishop control. i mean this was already a stellar video too :)
-
Destroy clancy What if clancy isn't dead, and the point of this album is to kill him
