Zones Fashion

Obviously we all know how killjoys dress, but not everyone in the desert is a killjoy. So here's my headcanons about how non-killjoys in the desert dress. Below the cut because this is gonna get long:

Note: Edited this so rb this version please!

These forms of dress are specific to smaller, more isolated groups where people are usually at least 1st gen zoneborn, and doesn't apply to neutral towns, killjoys, those who follow more traditional city styles, etc. Also I know I said I was going to do drawings for this and I might add those later but for now just text bc the drawings aren't coming out how I like.

Younger kids (2-7):

Both girls and boys have long hair because protects them from the sun without trying to get them to keep hats or hoods on since kids can be difficult about the required amount of clothes, let alone additional stuff. It can also be hard to find children's sized clothes, so many guardians don't bother with "unnecessary" items. Hair is usually kept long enough to tie out of their face because kids also make lots of messes, but sometimes hair will be a bit shorter (usually for boys).

Younger siblings will rarely have anything that isn't a hand-me-down, so if you have an older sibling of the opposite gender then you're probably going to be dressing like the opposite gender for most of your childhood. This is rarely an issue since gender doesn't usually have the same relevance as it does in the real world.

Long skirts are common regardless of gender because they keep the legs covered to protect from sunburn. Also, you can grow significantly before an ankle-length skirt becomes too short, unlike pants where you just have to get new ones when you outgrow them. When skirts get short enough to start exposing a lot of skin, extra fabric can be sewn on, or leggings can be worn underneath. Wraparound skirts are preferred because you don't have to adjust the waist at all when the kid grows, so you don't have to worry about buying/making new clothes all the time. However, other types of skirts work just as well.

A lot of younger kids get homemade shoes. They don't need to be great quality, they just need to keep the kid from burning their feet. Once a kid is old enough to begin helping with the family business (if there is one), go on trips with their guardians, etc. they get real shoes since it becomes more important once they're working or away from home for longer periods.

Then older kids (8-12):

At this age kids are old enough to want to have more freedom of expression so styles vary a bit more.

Since they're mostly still wearing kids sized clothes which are harder to find in the Zones and outgrowing things quickly, hair is still usually kept long to protect them from the sun in place of a hat or a hood that would either be too big or outgrown too quickly to justify buying it. However, sometimes they'll get their hair cut short, especially boys. Regardless of length, there's more variations in hairstyles, since it's a form of expression that doesn't cost any money.

Skirts often come above the knees in the front for more mobility/range of motion. Kids this age are old enough to help with work or chores, so it's easier if they don't have to worry about the restrictions long skirts can bring. At this age skirts are less about practicality. Long skirts are seen as a more childish style as the main point of them is to let kids grow without needing to buy tons of new clothes all the time, and skirts of any length can be impractical. Some guardians don't see the point of the skirt if the kid is just going to be wearing pants underneath anyway and the kid transitions into just wearing pants. For those who do keep wearing it, it makes their ages and allegiances clear. Since "adulthood" is pretty much "whenever you look like an adult" or "whenever you can do the same work as an adult" it makes it clear that this is a child, and that they're not a killjoy (since some killjoys can be this young).

Again, kids this age usually aren't working actual jobs yet, so sandals are more common than closed-toe shoes that might be required for a more dangerous job. Sandals are preferred over closed-toe shoes since they take less supplies to make so they're cheaper. These sandals might be homemade or might be made more professionally.

Younger teenagers (13-15):

This is the age where you'll see a lot of actual variation in style. First short haircuts are common at this age. Some kids might have a job, so hair length is usually depending on the job they have instead of gender. A job where they're often inside or where long hair would get in the way? Short haircut. A job where they're often outside? Long hair. Of course, some people will still pick a style they like over practicality, but looks over practicality is a very killjoy-esque mentality that most of the desert does not follow.

Outfits vary a lot, again based on what's practical for work, but it's common for their clothes to be a bit oversized, since they're usually still on the smaller end even if they are wearing adult sizes by now.

Some kids still wear skirts to indicate their age if their guardians feel that they're not ready to be seen as an adult, but many wear pants only.

Most kids have close-toed shoes now, but again they might be a bit too big. Rags can be stuffed in the toes until they fit properly.

Older teenagers (16-19):

Can pretty much look like anything! Just like for younger teenagers, haircuts and forms of dress are more specific to what you're doing, since most people have some sort of job at this age. Skirts are not worn anymore.

Jobs often work like trades, where you learn to do something and make that your career, instead of switching between them a lot. A lot of jobs are making necessities like clothes, candles, and food, or services like doctors/nurses, messengers, etc. Sometimes certain professions go together, like gunsmiths (who can make or fix guns) will work with artists for killjoys or anyone who'd rather have someone else paint their raygun for them. Markets are a great place to sell their wares so a lot of vendors there are going to be people like this.

If you're interested in other types of people in the Zones/time periods and how they dress send me an ask or something bc worldbuilding my beloved <3

i have this danger days hc: in the zones, your favorite color is extremely important to who you are as a person. having another joy's favorite color on your outfit symbolizes a familial or deep platonic bond. do with that as you will <3

Zones Locations (part 1 of ?)

The Overpass

a multi-level overpass over the San Bernardino freeway, in what used to be Pomona, CA. covered in tags and partly crumbling on the north side, this spot in zone 4 serves as the base of the category/community of killjoys known as overpass 'joys or overpass kids. it is fiercely guarded by killjoys who make camp in the shadows. dracs should steer clear of the area and any passerby's watch out for falling and/or thrown explosives, small grenades, and sniper fire. the overpass kids are territorial and hostile to anyone attempting to drive below, especially city vehicles. driving through or using the overpass will prove impossible as it has been fortified with scrap metal and the roads nearby booby trapped with barbed wire and long strips of nails to prevent anyone unwanted getting close.

Constellation Basin

constellation basin is a depression full of flowers in zone 6 that blooms in late spring. due to the basin being at the base of mountains, the late spring rain causes large swaths of flowers to bloom in the low area. the bloom of these flowers marks the end of spring and beginning of summer, and their rich blues, dark purples, and scattered yellow and orange spots bring to mind the constellations of clear and dark summer nights. the blooming of these flowers comes around the same time as spring celebrations come to an end and other flowers of the area go out of season. it is said the bigger constellation basin blooms, the kinder the summer weather will be, but not many in the zones are able to make it up to the area see the bloom for themselves.

no one talks about the agoraphobia that must set in after leaving Battery City. growing up, living in small and quiet blank rooms and the closed-in spaces between buildings, to the dual empty silence and chaotic noise of the Zones. how disorientated would the first hours or days—weeks even—be? how well could anyone cope with life suddenly being switched on high? you’d probably go insane a little too on your first time seeing the venomous red of your own blood, or feeling the stale wind whip your face and too long hair and unknown thrum of an engine as you speed through the desert, or finding your family and how much you love them, or your first firefight, first taste of something stronger than lychee juice, first time howling at the moon, first awful dye-job, your first kiss…

experiencing life for the first time would probably make you a little insane too.

I made an interactive map of my Danger Days locations :D You can click on them and see all the lore, and since they’re all real places you can also go on Google Earth and explore them there as well. If it should interest you.

Don’t be surprised when the radio crackles and the static starts to whisper. In the desert, stringed along the dead power-lines, there are ghosts. The electricity has souls in it. The air waves carry voices. Some sing, some scream, but they all cry out the same thing: Someone save us.

When the static speaks, listen; but for your sake, don’t answer it.

You don’t want them to know you can hear them.
