The lucky one holding the gold?

Alright guys, let me get my red string out and share a bit:
Previously on “The Secret Order” for anyone playing catchup, since there’s a lot of you and I’m normally one of them:
-CDs got mailed out and left at record stores with “lost” FOB demos. They came with instructions to upload to archive.org
-Same day, a youtube channel called fobdemos posted all the songs. The subreddit became suspicious this was linked, and not from a fan uploading the cd
-Reviews on archive.org provided more cryptic clues
-Last night, the youtube account made a post in binary, it decoded to a google drive link. Requesting access led to another .txt document clue
This all led to me going full “red string” last night after getting home from The Wonder Years show…
-After seeing the email associated with the google drive, I reached out and got a new clue of my own. Didn’t realize it was significant at the time.
-Soon after a new post in reddit showed screenshots of someone else’s email convo with them where they said to “Ask Peter” (I’m Peter), indicating my clue was real and should be shared.
-A few more email exchanges confirmed I was supposed to share, specifically on reddit… this meant 1) they’re active and watching the subreddit 2) they knew the other person would post
-Getting suspicious, I looked into the account (u/killsubaruu) and saw it had only existed for an hour, also was the one who posted the clue about the archive.org accounts email, and would comment “whoa, cool” when someone made a significant connection (like the archive email being a Rushmore quote)
-I started chatting with u/killsubaruu to confirm they were really The Secret Order, and got cryptic confirmation with what now seems to be more “official” clues, I believe indicated by the latest fobdemos channel post. Minutes after my last message, the account was deleted and the youtube channel post was made with reference to the “lucky one holding the gold”, which matches up with the “golden snitch” message.
-Circling back to the Rushmore comments they made and some quick lore: Pete/the band is a fan of the movie. For example, the title of “Tell that Mick” is another Rushmore reference. The gmail account references a quote “I saved Latin, what did you ever do?”. FOB played a secret show as “Saved Latin” on 3/3/2006 as a secret show. The day the demos posted was the 20th anniversary of that secret show.
What (I think) I learned:
-Based on responses with The Secret Order, there’s definitely some prewritten dialogue as clues. It’s unclear how far it’s mapped out, but there’s definitely an endpoint, at which time the cryptic “Pete-esque” writings run out and point you back to the next step you should take
-The Secret Order is 100% monitoring the subreddit
-If things aren’t moving swiftly enough, they’re not above pushing things along themselves
-All the chat messages mash up Harry Potter and song titles
The secret order of the phoenix (The Order of the Phoenix/ The Phoenix)
Dumbledors arms race (Dumbledore’s Army/This Ain’t A Scene It’s An Arms Race)
What a catch, Harry (Harry Potter/What a Catch, Donnie)
You caught the golden snitch (Quidditch/Golden)
Where that leaves us:
If I get super “red string” I wonder if the order of the phoenix and dumbedore’s army bits refer to either #12 Grimauld Place or more likely The Room of Requirement. One is hidden in plain sight, the other appears only when it’s most needed.
I’m strongly suspicious that the lead up is to one or a series of secret shows. I know HeyChris says he’s not in on this, but his very recent comment about backyard shows strengthens my suspicion.
If there’s a specific event, it means we need to solve the clues and share fast enough to keep things moving on the right timeline

Can anyone help me find this Fall Out Boy t shirt?
It was one of my favorites as a teen before losing it and I can't find any records of it existing on the internet 😭
It's black with pink, yellow, and white details. Thank you in advance ❤❤

I got back into binge listening my old fav bands again, which are MCR, PaTD, Linkin Park and of course Fall Out Boy.
What stuck out to me as I went through each album, was that although I never particularly paid attention to the lyrics of a lot of songs, I could easily recall or tell what was being sung.
All of the them except Fall Out Boy songs, which often I have to active look at the lyrics in order to tell wtf Patrick Stump is singing 😅
Am I alone in this or what?
r/FallOutBoy • u/CalicoG • 1d ago
I think "Gin & Kerosene" would be a sick band name...
