We as a fandom collectively goof-slash-complain about the conflicting timelines and narratives of Danger Days- between the album itself, the supplementary materials, the music videos, the later comics, etc.- but I kinda really wanna talk about how that like. Adds so much to the idea of the album.
Danger Days, and the Fabulous Four (to me) is, like, the story of four normal people who became bigger than themselves and then, through that process, sort of lost their personhood after their deaths? Throughout all the narratives, even the ones we most prominently see them in, we never really get a concrete sense of identity for any of the Four. We know their names, their faces, and that they were heroes. We see small moments- of them taking care of The Girl, being a family- but we never get a narrative beyond that for them. That isn't to say they don't have histories or personalities; from the comics, we know they probably did, but as time has gone on, they've been forgotten for everything but their heroism.
In the body of the album itself, without the music videos, we get to know even less: only two of the Four are named in the songs (Jet Star and the Kobra Kid's traffic report), and only three in the text of the record (Party Poison getting a whole song title.) Fun Ghoul is nowhere to be found on the record as a whole. Even then, the only ways we talk about the Four are in their deaths; Jet and Kobra Kid being used as unfortunate carnage in the Killjoy's war against the Dracs and BL//ind, a warning to "die with your mask on if you have to" and then something that's immediately moved on from.
In the music videos, again, we have a slightly better insight into who the Four were as people, but only insofar as we know they epitomized cool gunslingers with rebel spirits that ultimately loved The Girl so much they laid down their lives for her. I think there was a discussion a few months ago here about the concept of "Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back" being a much better fit for the narrative of the "SING" MV than SING was, but I also think there's credence to the idea that that was the point.
The intent in storming BL//ind wasn't to be heroes on a grand scale. It wasn't a liberation attempt. It was to save their family, a deeply personal thing that became, to other Killjoys, a rallying cry after the fact. In their absence, the Fab Four's narrative got to be written by the masses, and in raising them to martyr status, their sacrifice became less personal and more symbolic. Their personhood was forgotten, and the details of their lives- and, eventually, their deaths!- didn't matter so much as what they represented: something to fight for.
Anyway TL;DR the narrative of Danger Days, to me, is a story about how in trying to save yourselves you can save the world, but ultimately at the cost of your individualism and identity, even when that's exactly what they're trying to celebrate.

Overly analyzing Danger Days 'cause I'm bored part 2:
Bulletproof Heart, it shows us the struggles and the lies of the Kiljoys- there all messed-up, imaginative, creative people who have been screwed up & rejected by everyone, it captures there feelings of just wanting to runaway and live how they want and is pretty much a national anthem for them.
SING shows us why the Kiljoys rebel, if they dont talk they'll do it for them, there taking a stand- a stand to be themselves in a world that's pitted against them, BL/ind wants to capture them, make them obedient, make them surrender- but Kiljoys don't roll that way and they blast through all the Draculoids in a badass super-song

S2 Scenes I'm Manifesting
• Charlie calling Alastor "Al" and Alastor refering to Charlie at one point as "my princess".
• A shot of Alastor and Charlie fighting with their backs against one another during S2's final climactic fight sequence.
• Alastor getting separated from his microphone staff only for Charlie to epically toss it back to him mid battle.
• An Overlord or random demon tries to start beef with Charlie but Alastor is having none of that and stands protectively in front of Charlie and scares off the demon.
• Charlie feeling overwhelmed by all the press the hotel is suddenly getting but Alastor won't let her hide from it. We see him helping her prepare by drawing her a bath, laying out her clothes and brushing her hair.
• Alastor helping Charlie prepare for a guest spot/interview on Katie Kiljoy's news broadcast and grabbing her face- reminding her to smile for her friends and audience.
• Charlie is unable to sleep one night so Alastor prepares some tea for both of them as they chat in front of the fireplace in his room.
• Alastor carrying Charlie bridal style after a fight or for any reason at all.

HEY! YOU! you like danger days fics??
after the completion of my previous series kiljoy series, i have finally begun a new story; detonate me (was my heart explode)
its another origin story for the Fab Four, but this time Poison, Ghoul, and Kobra are stuck in the city as children attending a high-end boarding school for delinquent youth when a new student shows up... she behaves much differently than any other teenager from Battery City...
