#Ozzy has mixed feeling about this arrangement

[morganbritton132]

I love how Steve refuses to do Red carpet events with Eddie but will go to big Hollywood parties. Keg King Steve lives on

Look, no one has ever asked for his opinion at a party and then published it in a magazine as a ‘scathing review from friend of Eddie Munson’s.’ It’s not his fault that the movie was not as funny as he thought it was going to be.

Plus, all those flashing lights.

Every time Eddie gets papped, there’s always a picture of Steve where he’s mid-blink or he looks sweaty, and Steve is never going to forgive Eddie for the photo of him goosing him on the carpet. The one (and only) time Steve walked the red carpet with Eddie as his date, Perez Hilton had a lot of mean things to say about the shape of his head and his bisexuality.

But on the other hand, Steve loves a good party.

Steve might not be interested in being a part of most of the celebrity parts of Eddie’s life but he does like celebrities. He has a whole photo album of pictures taken with celebrities. And Steve likes when Eddie gets to do fun things with his fame. No one tells you when your boyfriend runs off with his band that a lot of the famous-people stuff that he has to deal with fucking sucks.

Plus, the only people partying harder than famous people are teenagers in a small town. Steve has experience and he excels at this.

Even if the hangovers are awful.

Eddie posts a TikTok the morning after there are paparazzi photos of him and Steve leaving a party of him, Steve, and half of Ice Nine Kills getting breakfast in the restaurant of their hotel. He pans the camera across the table but settles on Steve next to him with his head down on his arms.

He’s not just hungover. He is ‘are you sure he’s even alive’ hungover. Enough that one of the guys asks, “Is he okay?”

“Uh-huh,” Eddie says with a grin in his voice. “Baby, you got any advice for the kiddos out there?”

“Don’t get hit in the head a lot.”

“Oh-ho, no, Stevie,” Eddie laughs. “This is not a hero babysitter Steve Harrington migraine. This is a Keg King Steve hangover.”

Steve looks up, “There was a keg?”

Mírame antes: Awww, que dulce canción de fan.

Mirame ahora que Vivzie la hizo canon: ¡Ay, mi corazón!

¡Resumidamente si! Aunque Stolas es un personaje que sinceramente veo como moralmente MUY gris en la actualidad, dedicado Paranoid DJ se LUCIO con Look My Way, el cantante que suena muy similar al de Stolas, las ilustraciones, los cambios sutiles en la música. Cómo una estudiante de artística que apestaba en edición y Audiovisuales, ese hombre es una inspiración.

Aparte, lo que más me gusta de la versión original es que justamente muestra esa dualidad del personaje, si, habla sobre Octavia y trata de acercarse a Blitz, pero aún así le habla por debajo refiriendose a él como un JUGUETE(algo que realmente hizo en varias ocasiones del Show). Es una canción de Fan que aparte es CONGRUENTE con el personaje.

Y tengo sentimientos mixtos con la Versión de Vivziepop.

Dejando de lado el tema con los créditos(esta mujer tiene un problema), es un vídeo HERMOSO VISUALMENTE, como toda la serie. La animación está genial, como usan la estética de Stolas para hacer el Vídeo, la alegoría de La Luna y la Tierra, es muy bonito.

Pero se siente fuera de lugar porque ponen a Stolas como la VICTIMA. Cuando es EL quien debe disculparse con Blitz.

¡No solo por lo de Ozzie's! Sino también por haberlo visto bajo una luz de plebeyo durante toda la serie hasta que se sintió lo suficientemente solo como para ir tras Blitz completamente. Pedirle perdón por haberlo arrastrado a un ARREGLO SEXUAL DE DUDOSA PROCEDENCIA y en general ser un gran IMBECIL.

Y ya se! Ya se que Stolas también la tuvo difícil (tengo la edad de este hombre cuando tuvo a su hija☠️), probablemente gran parte de sus actitudes nocivas fueron aprendidas de Paimon (como vimos en Circus), junto con tener que lidiar con un ambiente extremadamente tóxico, PERO ESO ES UNA EXPLICACIÓN, NO UNA JUSTIFICACION.

Ahhhh perdón perdón perdón, me fui por las ramas, de seguro solo querías un comentario pequeño de la canción, es que estoy con demaciado sueño y energía al mismo tiempo. Gracias por la pregunta❣️

____

Look my Way before: Awww, what a sweet fan song.

Look mt Way now that Vivzie made her canon: Oh my heart!

In short yes! Although Stolas is a character that I honestly see as morally VERY gray nowadays, dedicated Paranoid DJ STUNned with Look My Way, the singer who sounds very similar to Stolas, the illustrations, the subtle changes in the music. As an art student who sucked at editing and Audiovisuals, that man is an inspiration.

Besides, what I like most about the original version is that it precisely shows that duality of the character, yes, he talks about Octavia and tries to get closer to Blitz, but he still talks down to him, referring to him as a TOY (something he really did on several occasions during the Show). It is a Fan song that is CONGRUENT with the character.

And I have mixed feelings about the Vivziepop Version.

Leaving aside the issue with the credits (this woman has a problem), it is a VISUALLY BEAUTIFUL video, like the entire series. The animation is great, how they use Stolas' aesthetics to make the Video, the allegory of The Moon and the Earth romance, is very beautiful.

But it feels out of place because they put Stolas as the VICTIM. When HE is the one who must apologize to Blitz.

Not just because of Ozzie's! But also for seeing him in a commoner light throughout the series until he felt alone enough to go after Blitz completely. Ask him for forgiveness for dragging him into a SEXUAL ARRANGEMENT OF DUDOBIOUS ORIGIN and in general for being a big JERK.

And I know! I know Stolas had it tough too (I'm the same age as this man when he had his daughter☠️), probably a lot of his harmful attitudes were learned from Paimon (as we saw in Circus), along with having to deal with an extremely toxic environment, BUT THAT IS AN EXPLANATION, NOT A JUSTIFICATION.

Ahhhh sorry sorry sorry, I went off on a limb, I'm sure you just wanted a small comment on the song, it's just that I'm too sleepy and energetic at the same time. Thanks for the question❣️

Sinday HC: Between those legs

So... what's going on down there?

It's actually not the same for all of them, and while I'll try to keep things brief, I'll list it all to the best of my ability.

There's a brief bonus Pinwheel down there!

Therapist Fizzy

Thizzy can switch out his genitals, there's a wide selection of models that you can purchase and hook up to him. However, he doesn't tend to wear any at all. He's got no use for it, he's a therapist... not a sex toy. But if there was to be an arrangement where he needs to put something on, he'd sigh and get it in order. He has no preferences.

Doctor Fizzy

Doc is the same model as Thizzy, and the opposite end of the spectrum. He loves putting on freaky shit; bad dragon models, tentacles, whatever fun stuff Ozzie's factory has come up with as of late... He has no preferences in the bedroom (or the hospital ward for that matter), and as long as the model has fun colours, he's down to wear it.

Yes he does wear them in both work and casual settings all the time, but it's not like you can tell anyway, so what's the harm...

Factory Fizzy

FF-8842's model does not have adjustable genitals. However, it could be installed if you know how to do it. As of right now, it's not something they think about anyway though.

Undertaker Fizzy, Caretaker Fizzy, The Manager [& Pinwheel]

Same models, these three have 2 sets of genitals that can be switched around and mixed up with the press of a button, as well as completely hidden if needed. This is the same system that Pinwheel over at @rollinpinwheel uses.

Maid Fizzy

[ Placed last cus you gotta prep yourself for her icky owner ndbdbd ]

Mizzy is the same kind of model as Doc and Thizzy, she can be fitted with any kind of genitals that you prefer. Her current owner tends to stick to vaginas over dicks/mixed/fantasy-based genitals. That's not to say he doesn't enjoy a futa-situation from time to time... he Is an otaku, and he wants to try out most things with the bot... as long as he feels like he's in charge. Mizzy himself does not have any preferences, because Mizzy doesn't think about his own preferences in the first place.

How would the AU Blitzos react to each others lives?

(Note: By 'switch' I mean 'switch at the point of change', so if somebody wanted to switch with Arrangement it would be at like 12, not at their adult ages. Putting under cut because Long.)

Circus: He's shocked that the others knew Stolas as kids, both because of the age gap they have in that au and the fact that they didn't get in contact for over two decades after that day. Although he's very curious what things would have been like for him if they hadn't met when they did, he's overall pretty happy with how things worked out for him.

The others are... mixed. He would seem less independent to them since he only ever had the one 'real' relationship and got knocked up at 18, but if they meet when he's a bit older, he actually does work on his own and it's self-sustaining after getting some funds to start up his own circus, so he's not completely dependent on Stolas or anything. Also getting to (possibly? we'll see) keep Barbie, Fizz, and Mom... yeah. It's definitely mixed. (Especially if they find out about the captive thing.)

Arrangement: Mostly bafflement, and a weird mix of jealousy and appreciation about how things worked out for him. The idea of Stolas not being a real part of his life until they're way older so he got to live his own life- but it got fucked up several times- and he didn't have kids until he was in his thirties... yeah, although he wishes things could have been less messy in his teen years, he's happy with his lot too.

The others are really shocked about the idea of being essentially married to Stolas in all but name since they were like eleven and the idea of essentially being trained to be a babymaker, and Stellaluna seems stressed in a different way than in their worlds/is being pressed into a more 'princess-y' mold, so they'd probably pass on the chance to switch too. Circus and him would get along pretty well, and Arrangement asks Circus for sex tips since they're the ones closest in age and Circus fucked people before Stolas so he's got more experience.

Chained Mates: Finding out that the others conceived by consensual sex with normal if well-endowed dude was probably a rough revelation for the poor guy. The others can tell how much of a horrorshow his world was, at least at first, and offer some sympathy. I mentioned it before, but he probably gets along with the Mammon-based aus pretty well.

Nobody would want to be in his shoes, even if he's at the point where he accepted it and Stolas's curse has been broken. Would probably switch places with somebody if it was an option to rewind time.

Lust Ring: Not the slightest bit bitter that the others 'made it' in some way and he was literally purchased, no sir. Surprises the others that he has no idea who M+M and Loona are, but probably decides he'll find a way to find his Loona at least. Figures if he ends up in Stolas in a bunch of other universes this will probably work out.

Once again, the others probably wouldn't trade places with him, but he eventually decides he wouldn't have wanted to change anything anyway. Ends up a sort of father figure to Circus and Arrangement but also someone they'd have sex with to get hands-on tips for.

Fitzo Kid: Really surprised that so many of them have Stolas's kid first and nobody else had an oops baby with Fizz. Kind of jealous that so many didn't deal with years of unrest as parents since it made everything feel all the worse as opposed to dealing with it by 'himself' since he had Sunny to deal with and try to not fuck up.

His existence shocks everybody else at first, but thinking about it for a minute, gets an 'oooh yeah that makes sense that happened at least once' sort of reaction. They're all also very surprised he ends up, not only in a polyam relationship, but one that includes Ozzie. Nobody would switch with him, and he doesn't want to lose Sunny so he wouldn't either.

Mammon Kid/Breeder: Both would switch places with the others (Circus especially) in a heartbeat since shit's kiiiiiinda fucked with both of them. Everybody is jealous that they got to fuck Mammon for about .5 seconds before it becomes obvious why that was Not A Good Thing.

Doll: He's just like 'the fuck do you mean you all had a healthy relationship instead of codependent possessiveness?'. Rock paper scissors over if him or CM had it objectively worse when it comes to being fucked by a monster eight times your size that comes around pretty fast or being turned into essentially a living doll for years with no real autonomy, even if both of them love you with clingy desperation.**

1452

What's the last sweet treat you've had? Honey graham M&Ms. A relative came for a quick visit from the US and she bought it over to us, and it was my first time tasting that variant. It was good!

Would you ever or have you gone golfing? (mini golf counts) Golf honestly doesn’t interest me in the slightest, but I’m ok with trying it out at least once with friends.

How about bowling? I do like to bowl but I don’t get many chances to do it, mainly because my friends prefer to just eat and hang around somewhere when we’re outdoors.

What's something you've been wanting to try but don't have the nerve or time? Going to a shooting range.

Are you able to walk or jog more than 1 mile without stopping? I don’t normally do it but I am happy to share I took a walk this morning! Bea and Kata invited me to jog with them at my university’s oval, but since my ankle isn’t at 100% recovery yet, we decided to walk (I did tell them they could jog if they wanted, but they ultimately got too lazy themselves lol) – we were able to do a little over 1 mile today.

Do you enjoy decorating your home for any occasion? We usually only do it for Christmas. Otherwise the house stays the same all year except for when my mom feels like slightly mixing up the arrangement.

What did you last have to drink? Coffee.

What's your favorite color in the rainbow? Purple/violet.

Do you tend to stumble over your words when you're nervous? Sometimes, but I’m more conscious of it when presenting something at work or talking to a crowd wherein I’m usually able to manage my ums and uhs so I can talk more smoothly.

Are you a fan of Ozzy Osborne? I wouldn’t say I’m a fan, no.

Have you ever caught Covid19? or any of the variants? Yes, I most likely had it earlier this year since my mom and sister tested positive. I was asymptomatic for the most part, though.

What color was the blanket that you last covered up with? It’s mostly pink but it has these little flowers as design and they come in different colors.

How long do you lay in bed until you get up if you can't sleep? I don’t get up when I have trouble sleeping since I feel like that’d worsen the situation. My usual way to address it is to just turn on a video, and it works.

What's a dance move you can confidently do? I don’t memorize a lot of routines...maybe just that bit they do by the end of Permission to Dance? That’s fairly easy to memorize and it doubles as sign language too, which I’ve always found super cool and endearing.

Do you know a Lucy? I’ve known some Lucys in the past, but not these days.

What is a name of a person who you don't particularly like? There are a couple of Denises I don’t really like.

Do you ever listen to any A.M. radio stations? No, I never tune into those. Too monotonous.

Do you stream most of your music? Spotify and sometimes YouTube.

What is something you dread? Work, usually.

Would you say you're an overall nice person? I like to think that I am, yes.

What was the last argument you got into about? I don’t really get into arguments or disagreements with people nowadays. I guess the closest one was about this mega-dick/pervert who had harassed Angela and Reena at the beach while Hans and I were gone to pick up some stuff from our dorm last week. Hans and I were game to cause a little bit of chaos with the prick but Angela ended up telling us (mostly Hans, lol) off.

When did it last rain? About a month ago, and that was the last time it ever felt cold-ish. We’re deep in 40ºC weather now, which sucks.

Do you use big words in your vocabulary? I do and I usually don’t notice it. Bea recently jokingly called me out for using such big words in our presentation decks, so ever since then I’ve become a bit more conscious and I try to use more simple words.

What's a funny memory you'd like to share? It’s not super funny when I tell it, but two weeks ago my co-workers and I were having dinner out and this big party beside our table had been talking with one another until we all overheard one of them saying “Georgina hasn’t gotten her booster shot” and we literally pulled the same horrified look all at the same time; then we spent like the next five minutes whispering among ourselves that we hope this Georgina girl gets her booster shot soon. It ended up being an inside joke and until now it makes us laugh whenever one of us brings it up.

Do you keep Christmas bags and old wrapping paper to reuse? You’re talking to an Asian, my dude. We stock up on stuff beyond Christmas bags and gift wrappers.

What's a charity you support strongly? Anything that’s dedicated to animals/animal shelters. 

What's the first flowers or trees you notice that bloom when it gets warmer? I don't pay attention to that. < Me neither. Though I probably should.

Have you ever accidentally punched yourself in the face while pulling your covers up? Sure, I most probably have.

How about dropping your phone on your face? Occasionally.

Have you ever been in a mosh pit? No, but I’d like to experience it at least once.

What's one of your favorite TV shows? Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo!

What are 3 words or phrases you use most often? “Right” whenever I’m explaining a point, as in “So I was at the mall, right,” “Cool cool cool no doubt” just because lol, and “I guess.”

When did you last trip or fall? Last Saturday, then it ended up spraining my ankle too.

What type of pain pills do you use for a headache or do you just tough it out? Biogesic. I hate headaches and usually want to get rid of them immediately.

What did you last say out loud to a family member? “Aw, he’s found his spot.” I was asking my sister where Aki was and she mentioned he’s currently napping by our dining room mirror.

Can you remember the last time you dressed up nice for an event? Last Wednesday for my parents’ 25th wedding anniversary dinner.

What did you last thank somebody for? Bea and Kata for inviting me for that walk we did this morning since I actually ended up quite enjoying it.

Do you see any stuffed animals from where you are? Nopes. I’m in the living room, so no plushies around here.

Do you or anyone you know suffer from food allergies? Yeah, a lot of people.

Look up from your device. how much black do you see? Quite a bit – there’s the railing on our stairs, Cooper’s pen, our TV, the PS3 and PS4, and the paintings we have up here in the living room. 

What color do you dislike the most? Orange and neon green.

Can you whistle good enough to get through a whole song? Sure, if I tried.

What did you last tie a knot for? Bikini.

How many surveys have you taken so far today? This is my first.

Helluva Boss: Stolas, Ozzie, Andy & Eljorafae (2022)

-----------------------------------

Credit for Helluva Boss goes to Vivienne “Vivziepop” Medrano

-----------------------------------

don’t know when Andrealphus will appear, but he may appear in one of the episodes of Season 2.

he just seems like a “Andy” to me, so I’m nicknaming him that.

if Asmodeus can be Ozzie, then Andrealphus can be called Andy by fans.

Eljorafae is my OC, she has wings of a Phoenix and Crystal Deer Antlers.

her name is pronounced as Elle-Yora-Fae or Elle-Yora-Fay.

she is The Seventy-Third Of Ars Goetia, being a creation of The Earthly Mother/Goddess who took a fragment of Lilith’s soul (during the time when Adam was trying to get Lilith back.) and a fragment of another,

and created one of the first Earth Angels, her being created was to help Lilith heal from the wounds and the negative energy.

but because of Adam, and three certain Angels, the healing process was broken and Eljorafae was killed by one of those three Angels who were send to get Lilith for Adam.

Eljorafae went through many reincarnations, before she became a Fallen Earth Angel.

this character could most likely be in a Fanon Timeline, and not be in the canon.

but she could be based on a possible truth that the Earthly Mother did try to help Lilith but it was undone by Adam and those three Angels that were sent to retrieve Lilith.

Eljorafae is also a Mother of a Daughter who is reincarnates and is born from a fragment of Eljorafae’s Soul and another Soul that is a fragment of [Redacted].

a newborn soul being born from two fragments from two different souls,

might not be accepted by everyone, but that’s okay.

the form that Eljorafae can take is a Phoenix with crystal antlers on her head.

despite being a Fallen Earth Angel, she is tasked with punishing corrupted leaders and is protector of children as well as mothers who are pregnant.

well that is the idea I want to go with...

her alignment could be Chaotic Good, and part of Goddess’s Flaming Valkyries.

Eljorafae as a Helluva Boss OC, only exist in a Fanon Timeline.

and I’m not sure if the whole Andy nickname for Andrealphus would catch on.

I couldn’t help but view him with that nickname.

I wouldn’t mind taking two pieces of bread and placing it on each side of his face and ask him “What Are You...?!” XD

I do have a theory that Stolas might of been technically tricked into marrying Stella, like Stolas could of had feelings for Andrealphus and thought that the proposal for marriage was going to be for the two of them, but then it turning out that Andrealphus lied and it was really a arranged marriage between Stolas and Stella.

that theory might not be true, but it is a interesting theory.

well no matter if that theory is true or not,

it is possibly hinted that Stolas was never in love with Stella and their marriage was arranged, and the only good thing that came out of it was Octavia.

their family might of always been broken, Octavia just didn’t see it that way when she was still a little girl and only saw the positive side up until Stolas and Stella no longer put up the act anymore.

Octavia might believe that her parents had been in love before Stolas started to have his affair with Blitz, but really the problem was around way before Blitz came into the picture.

if Stolas did show to be “in love” with Stella before meeting Blitz,

it could be thanks to a passion potion, that is a mix between love and lust magic.

Stella would slip two drops into Stolas’s food and drink everyday since they became married, and the only way to become immune to the potion is first mutual true love.

Blitz could be in love with Stolas, but could try to deny those feelings.

 but if the whole theory about Stella giving Stolas a potion to love and lust for her throughout their marriage is true, then it could of been the affair with Blitz that broke allowed him to become immune to the potion.

like the potion could only last until the next full moon, which gave Stella plenty of time to restock the potion each time she ran out of the stuff to keep Stolas loving and lusting only for her.

and if Stolas ever found out about the passion potion that Stella had been poisoning him throughout their years of marriage, Octavia could find this out as well by listening to their argument.

Stolas could of thought his feelings for Stella were real, but really was thanks to a potion and the reason why he “fell out of romantic love” for his wife Stella,

was because he became immune to the potion the moment he fell in love with Blitz.                          

it be interesting if this turned out to be canon, but if it isn’t then it can be fanon only.

not everyone has to agree about the theory, but I hope some like the idea.

anyway hope some like this drawing and the idea of Andrealphus’s nickname being Andy....and if I decide to, I might do a second drawing of Eljorafae.

Labels Among Vineyard Present:

𝐀𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐛𝐮𝐦 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐉𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐚 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐝 - 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫: 𝐏𝐨𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐠 - 𝐓𝐨𝐤 𝐘𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐚𝐚.

Imagine that you are privy to visitors from a parallel realm. You are able to witness these supernatural experiences in a dark cave of a remote village or island or a dark & dimly lit corner in your house. The experience over there is meant to last for about 50 to 55 minutes. The realm opens with sounds of ethereal chanting. The song is ‘Gula Gula’ and it sounds like an invocation of sorts to a Shrouded Ghost “𝑷𝒐𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒈” in the Javanese mythology.

The album definitely has its roots in Javanese folk and it has been fused with Rock / Metal Music.

You can see a very “Scorpions (The Band)” like influence in the second song – ‘𝑲𝒂𝒖 𝑷𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒖𝒏𝒖𝒉" which means “𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑲𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒓.” It has been composed in a ballad form and is slightly progressive in nature. Chronologically speaking, it is a great song to follow the first song as it slowly raises the tempo and sets the heart beating a little faster; almost unfolding the story that "𝑷𝒐𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒈” has been invoked and is praised with the title of “𝑲𝒂𝒖 𝑷𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒖𝒏𝒖𝒉."

Well, what would you expect after an invocation like that?? “𝑰 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝑷𝒐𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆.” Of Course! He has to come and with all his might and glory!! The song is just like that. Very “Ozzy Osbourne / Rob Zombie” styled heavy rock music with an eerie overlay.

I do not take anything away from Tok Yathraa by comparing his music style to other artists. I am stating the same so that first-time listeners can know what to expect and have an enhanced & enriching experience of his music.

Let me build on this experience further… “𝑷𝒐𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒈” has appeared and he seems to do be bouncing eerily only to sway you momentarily before he unleashes his wrath. He dances to the folk music and then “Metalizes” it with a very heavy metal riff. Aggression that makes you want to flee but Fear that freezes you. The track is called “𝑷𝒐𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝑳𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒕" which means “𝑱𝒖𝒎𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝑮𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒕” – The singing in voices in chorus all expressed from one voice represents the voices of tormented souls who can only speak what the host speaks. The souls express through those voices and screaming emotions because they can’t say what they want to say.

The guitar solos/riffs/interludes show a good understanding of the instrument and have been layered in the correct places.

𝑨 “𝑷𝒐𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒈” 𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒂 𝒈𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒔𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒅.

Humans are curious even in their darkest moments. I love the use of the guitar arpeggios and the crying sounds of a woman along with them interspersed with sounds of Thunder. It is the highlight of the song followed by a heavy metal riff where the thoughts are totally left to your imagination.

Thus presenting, “𝑼𝒏𝒃𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑯𝒊𝒔 𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒕.”

Where there is fear, there is similarly a place to find hope and that is where one can source immense strength.

“𝑨𝒌𝒖 𝑻𝒂𝒌 𝑻𝒂𝒌𝒖𝒕” is about facing this “𝑷𝒐𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒈”. The song displays the sound of courage displayed while experiencing this encounter.

At this point in the album, as a witness one has completed disassociated with the human time and space concept. There is acceptance and dialogue, albeit in a manner that is supernatural and eerie in nature. There is an overall tone of aggression but there is also huge curiosity, discovery and some form of self-reflection. This is what I construe from the song “𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒐𝒖𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒚 𝑷𝒐𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒈” and the journey into the album this far.

“𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑫𝒊𝒅𝒏’𝒕 𝑩𝒖𝒓𝒚 𝑴𝒆 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒍𝒚.” This piece is so self-explanatory. The end result of all such encounters is the fact that the “Ghosts” usually have unfinished business, a pending desire or an incomplete ritual. The angst of the incomplete ritual is expressed vehemently in this song.

“𝑰 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒂 𝑮𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝑪𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆” starts with the fastest Riff in the album but eventually it seems to drop to half time. It’s still heavy but would have been nice to have some more aggression. Here one has completely surrendered to the underworld and feels transformed. Very understandable. Seems to be like the motive of unfulfilled souls – to drag other souls into their realm and share the darkness of suffering.

The album is a great experience for people who are intrigued by the Netherworld. The Last song, very aptly named "𝑬𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒓”

seems to re-open the portal and transfer the souls back but leaving the witness with a desire to experience it all over again. The screaming and growling with haunting voices and eerie choral backgrounds stay with the witness for hours and days even after the experience.

To conclude, A great use of nature effects, folk motifs and the overall genre of Rock & Metal. A critical point of evaluation is the overall mix. It needs a better mix where the vocals are more in the front and the overall balance between the other instrumental arrangements needs another perspective for sure.

Dig into the fiery pit of Tok Yathraa!!
