Hello!!!!! I am back to run this precious account again! I’m sorry I left for so long. Y’all can start sending your prompts/headcanons in again if you want!! I have missed you all. -Eli <3
a twenty one pilots concert is the few, the proud, and the emotional. people wear shirts from all eras dating back to regional at best. some are homemade. there are numerous floral kimonos and black-painted necks. you are a friendly, happy version of yourself. compliments fly through the air like paper airplanes. everyone is your friend. you are glad every perfect stranger in the venue is alive. you aren’t afraid. you’re going home.
a twenty one pilots concert is the good old days. it’s watching the blurryface logo flash upon the screen as the room goes dark. slowly, you stare transfixed as the logo widens, turns blue, and becomes the vessel logo before your very eyes. you’re taken back to bittersweet days as old songs play. the pantaloon. forest. march to the sea. memories color your brain. some are pleasant. some are painful. all are welcome.

a twenty one pilots concert is staying awake. no way can the dark conquer you when there are so many people next to you. you don’t know them. you don’t have to. you have one thing in common, and that is that you believe in music.
a twenty one pilots concert is saying hello. staying alive. for one night. for the next. for all the people whom you love whom you don’t even know. you’re all in this together. and in that moment—
