Well, the scrapbook for Brendon Small is finally finished!
Dethklok's Mutilation on a Spring Night Tour kicked off tonight and I'm so excited to be giving this to Brendon in a couple days.
With everyone's submissions, I was able to fill 27 pages total with gorgeous art, epic cosplays, and beautiful words. I plan to post pictures from the meet and greet and share my experience!
I've blurred out the messages out of respect for privacy but for anyone interested, here is a look at just some of the pages. (:
Putting this book together was so much fun and I can't thank everyone who participated in this with me enough.
Each of you helped me create something really cool and I think it reflects how special this fandom is. I think Brendon is going to really enjoy seeing everyone's pieces!
Thankyouthankyouthankyou to everyone who submitted something for trusting me to make this thing <3
Your only friends / Oh, be anything I want to be?
have turned on you. / Oh, is this just a dream?
I am that voice, / Oh, give away so willfully...
you need me too. / Oh, please carry me away!
i'd like to state that the subtitles whenever you watch aotd on a streaming site (can only talk about those since i havent watched it on dvd or any.. . purchased forms...) are incorrect when murderface says "good pep talk" to nathan after manipulating him into checking the news.
he doesnt say good pep talk. he says good rock talk. and that is something i cant get out of my head. the only character we see in dethperformance ever going through a rock talk is murderface. it's personal to him. not only that, but the rock talk he had with twinkletits was one where he dove deep into his most personal and horrific childhood traumas.
it has so much meaning to me that murderface refers to it as a rock talk, because in his eyes, rock talks will always be connected to when he finally admitted and began to face his fears and his own trauma- something thats a massive theme for nathan in army of the doomstar. i also think its fascinating because salacia is technically the one speaking (or, half-speaking) during that scene.
salacia wasnt around for the rock talk, he possesses murderface much later in the series. this further shows that salacia has been digging deep down into murderface's memories and subconscious, a lot more than people might assume. he didnt just take the information of where the army of the doomstar is- he went through everything.
and that shit is devastating to me. not even in his own mind is murderface allowed to have his own comfort and privacy. not even with his own traumatic memories. .....lord.
