#also dont forget faust

[plsleafmelon]

OK WHO THE HOLY FUCK IS JUN AND WHY IS HE DECIMATING MY TEAM SO FUCKING HARD IN MDH

all my sinners do is breathe in his direction and he goes so trigger happy like jfc the moment i see someone boutta clash w him i go full defense mode like u just see that whole bar full of evades yeah thats me fighting him

[eggsploded]

moar you say.. why then gregor and rodya of coarse....

where would i be without rodigor. where would WE be, without rodigor.

first impression: THE fuckin guy. this dude owns. (insert 50 invasive questions about cockroach anatomy and behavior) i was peeved his roach arm resembled more of a beetle horn than a arm

current impression: when chef greg dropped i got so horny i went to bed lightheaded i still love gregor dearly but my love for him has mellowed like the fondness for a favorite pasta dish.

favorite moment: literally every old fart moment he has. when he forgets names when he berated sinclair for not cleaning his plate when he goes uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh in his dialogue because he doesnt know where hes going with this

story idea: despite his deep frying and boiling during hells chicken i think the bus kinda Likes this guy. gregors a bit of a hot commodity. hes just a fella you can Jive with. a real Stand Up guy. now let him be loved, if obliviously through his own self consciousness. a friendly heathcliff rough slap on the back delays his depressive episode by 15 minutes

fav relationship: oh boy where to start!!!! rodigor. enough on that. meurgreg, not really romantic to me but i like the art of it that is. it revolves around a big fella carrying him under his arm so automatic slay. ive seen a little gregcliff action on the TL but its more of a 'work got me friends with people twice my age like whats uncle greg up to' ordeal to me. now lets get insane. gregsang is incredible to me because yi sang is the only mf on that bus EASIER than gregor. gregor got game? that hes aware of? while stuttering the whole journey? its kind of crazy. i dont actually have a reason why they would even like eachother yet but put rodya in there somewhere to toy with them if you want true crackshipping fun

fav headcanon: hes a little chunky

RODYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my favit

first impression: me furiously searching for her height on the wiki + nodding my head sagely deciding woman with sleepy eyes is peak character design (faust included). i trust her wholeheartedly even if she leads me hand in hand into a woodchipper

current impression: waiting for projmoon to drop more lore on her desperately because i know canto 2 wasnt everything. i feel a disconnect with the fanbase about her because i see rodya characterized sooooo differently than how i think of her. the gambling thing and her effortless confidence for example isnt really questioned like how it is with dons bravado. i see her gambling as an outlet for her complicated views on money. she feels as though being financially 'secure' as the lone survivor as a betrayal to all the deaths she caused. gambling not only aligns with her current im the hottest shit attitude but also is a way for her to not be responsible for money. the hoarding of wealth is what caused her community to starve, why would she want to do something that seems to harm others? shes very self destructive, and feigning as slots star is just one of the ways she forces herself to 'stay in the cold'. ummmmmmmmm anyway im really normal about rodya and think about her a normal amount also her love for decadant food really resonates with me as someone who was poor in childhood because the difference between eating to live and living to eat is Astronomical

favorite moment: shes started branching out and calling other people than greg pet names and it is so exciting. faust has now reached babe status!! good for her!!! also when she infantalizes sinclair its terrible for him but REALLY funny for me when he responds back and reminds her oh right this is a 22 year old man. also her random interjections that are socialist ideology are really funny because they always feel so fucking random and like projmoon is remembering why crime and punishment was written and going drop this bomb ass line itll go so hard guys

story idea: i want her to play poker against yi sang because hes weird and also his poker face is like. genuine and dear adoration for being able to play with his companions because deep in his soul is gardens and butterflies. she would be so freaked out not only because this guy agreed to playing poker but also because he is invasively (he didnt mean it) staring into her SOUL to find solutions

fav relationship: my thoughts are half the bus are in love with gregor and the other half with rodya with cases of overlap. rodya is so epic because shes seemingly got it together to the more deranged sinners but to anyone else its like oh my god this paper mache bitch the former being more faustish the latter being more ryoshuish. faustya is cute because faust initially wanted to absorb more Bad Bitch Strategems and then kinda got a crush and is hardcore malfunctioning also kurokumo ryodion got sumn GOING yall crazy love is love though

fav headcanon: shes actually really short for Lobotomy Corp Backstreets Russia and everyone there is just freakishly tall (see: sonya)

[tackypies]

ishmael or dante for the ask game?

let's do dante!

First impression: holy shit that design fucks. i bet they're so cool and suave

Impression now: an extremely interesting character! they're hiding so much in that clock of theirs! open up!! what's inside! all jokes aside, i'm dying to know what past dante was like because all the hints we've gotten point to them being a Fucked Up Being sooo

Favorite moment: end of canto iii when dante supported sinclair...

Idea for a story: i want dante to meet more of their old coworkers, if they had any. like, for someone who had a Reputation, you'd think more people would recognize them right? c'mon give me that awkward run-in

Unpopular opinion: i dont have any...

Favorite relationship: platonic, but i think their dynamic with outis is hilarious. i adore their interactions with faust - there's clearly some shared history and i'm curious about how it's going to develop. i also love their dynamic with vergilius

Favorite headcanon: dante forgets they don't have a mouth sometimes and they smash food into the clock without thinking

[peccatula]

i wanted to make a muriel cg to match this asra cg, so heres my attempt at recreating one of these in the arcana style!

[magioffire]

since the prompt is making the rounds again, and i dont wanna reblog three different posts, i decided to compile all the character/story/concept inspirations that inspired vali’s character into one post. also it was revealed to me the person who made this meme @dethqveen so i can finally give credit where credit is due

all of these characters have influenced vali’s characterization, abilities, design/aesthetic, or some aspect of his backstory in some way.

mephistopheles love post

the equivalent of a mental breakdown tangent is all going under a read more

yes believe it or not that freaky ass literally not even human clown in fgo gets love, and love from who? me and like 3 other people

first off

ok and with that out of the way,

i’m not even familiar with their lore. Reason why i stopped caring about the lore behind faust and mephistopheles is that an interlude happens that shows that mephistopheles is just some homunculi made by some mage nobody named faust. and even then the interlude doesn’t talk about the lore behind the novel, its just you helping mephy kill faust

that being said though i would hope the developers expand on their origins more and potentially even release a “true” mephistopheles (a girl can dream)

So, they’re not even the real deal demon known as Mephistopheles in the first place, and i can hear u going “well that’s lame” and like, no, we just need to redirect our feelings from appreciating a demon to appreciating a homunculi who has a weird characterization in the fate universe

Design tangent:

Fgo was actually my first gacha, and so when I came across this servant I kinda instantly fell in love with their design, I love the colors used in their final ascension and overall appearance. The hat that has horns but they're not quite horns, theyre these weird colorful pointy twisty things, the large garish butterfly ornament on their chest (which isnt ugly at all and somehow works so well with their everything on them) is cool, the tights are so cool to look at, i mean look -- a checkered pattern with golden lining on the shorts portion, the tits out look like yes we get it youre insane, the gloves??? purple and also cool, plus theyve got this gradient thing going on? and the fingers have this line going through them, thats so cool. actually the only other servant that comes close to this in terms of “out there” colorful designs is probably final ascension kama and qsh ( i love them both). Also, mephy has this scissor weapon?? thats so cool lol i dont see any other servant wielding giant scissors (for the love of god give mephy an animation update i need to see them use the scissors while doing flips) and they also have this bomb obsession going on? cant relate, but the bombs designs are so so cool i mean its a fucking centipede -- no idea if centipedes are a thing in the original faust but thats something Ill have to look up at some point. ALSO mephy is wearing heels oh my god anytime people wear heels is an automatic win. No clue whats going on with the hair but its kinda cute (dont question me on that) and it has curls and the hair colors are cool i mean its like a lavender thing with darker purple highlights? i love colorful things and i love people with wacky personalities so. Oh my god their tail how could i forget that its so cute and dumb i almost forgot it was there, like what is that even a whip? i dont.. but its got these little purple tips to them that are kinda cute/cool but more cool because tails are fucking up there alongside heels in terms of cool stuff on characters. and of course their fluffly cape -- again no idea what the designers were going for i mean look its a mess of a design i have no fucking idea what any of it means and i hope they explain it someday because that hair and the butterfly and the tail and the hat and the fluffy garb and a bomb obsession?? and this got the go ahead - yeah lets add that to the game like what

ALSO LETS TALK ABOUT THEIR EYES

appreciate these with me for a second

god.

oh and the blue lipstick and face paint god thats a cool design ugh

they can be normal too or at least as normal as possible i mean they even trimmed their eyebrow here lol but you can see the not so well hidden insanity/goofiness peaking through with the inside of the suit at the bottom being highlighter purple and a green shirt with gold accents underneath the black coat at the front <3, fuckin hate that hairstyle tho bro we gotta get that middle part hairstyle outta hereeeee--

TAKE A DETOUR AND LOOK AT THIS LINK THOUGH THIS IS THE MOST NORMAL AND BEST IVE SEEN THEM IN FANART. THE POTENTIAL IS THERE. WE CAN HAVE NICE THINGS AND THEY LOOK GREAT ITS POSSIBLE. I HAVE TEARS STREAMING DOWN MY FACE FROM THAT DRAWING.

anyways this is me going off all about why i like their design! but we haven’t even touched the nitty gritty of it all. their personality! what personality you may ask? havent they always been some weirdo laughing a lot and saying dumb shit all the time? well yes and no

Characterization:

True to their dumb little clown design mephy also acts like one.

Some servants bond 1 lines are like “fuck off” and some actually talk to you, nah this bastard mephistopheles’ just laughing. and for the second bond line it seems to imply theyre fuckin with you more (showing up and dissapearing and saying ‘afterimage’) so thats nice that theyre actually making some effort to mess with you in a way? some servants take a long time to actually interact with you so this shows theyre not afraid of interacting with you and thats just at bond 2. and of course the third bond line implies they were probably trying to betray you, its stated in more than 1 place that mephistopheles (actually isnt this a caster class thing?) will betray you or attempt to do so. So the third bond line seems to imply that their attempts have been stopped by you and that’s what they say after some failed attempts. So after stopping this freak from doing some shit their next bond line is actually doing a confession! a jester being honest who couldve seen that one coming but theyre 100% not lying, they really arent a demon but a homunculi made by faust

speaking of faust we’re going to backtrack a little into their interlude that i brought up at the start of this post, its one of those dream interludes and it starts with mephy asking you to help him plant bombs for their eventual reuinion/showdown with faust -- in the meantime faust keeps sending golems in an attempt to kill both you and mephy

When you track faust down, it’s shown that faust was your typical mage, inhumane and uncaring. It’s also pointed out that this faust killed innocents, but this typical mage behavior is boring to mephy, and they say that boring typical behavior is why they wanted to kill them

 so i really cant blame mephistopheles for being the way they are, being raised by this type of guy, even if mephy was always messed up and wacky from the beginning its no reason for faust to attempt to kill him.

Mephistopheles also shows up in salem, cu alter’s interlude, and of course the knk crossover event, and some other things im most likely forgetting but those 3 are ones that i find notable

anytime they show up theyre actually helpful, in salem mephy points out that the nature of the being responsible for the salem epic of remnant is something alien rather than a typical foreign god, mephy also tells you that time is also being sped up and in their weird way they try to cheer you up by spouting some nonsense at the beginning (guda needed some kind of distraction from the grim events that had just transpired at that point in the story), i cant quite remember what mephy did in the knk event but they were a part of your group and were helpful the whole time, actually @/zeravmeta does an amazing analysis of their role in the knk event as well as some extra character analysis here

mephistopheles is kinda cryptic in a weird way though,

like overall i mean theyre a jester homunculi in appearance so yeah its to be expected but come on i love morally gray characters, despite their supposed betrayal hints scattered around here and there

they have this one line that always gets to me

and this line is said with a completely serious face too

the rare serious mephistopheles face! its kinda grim to see that line, no laughs, no nothing, their voice is kinda serious and monotone too. of course this could be just to get you to lower your guard but its still kinda out there that they have this rarely used portrait and that line, so i like to take it as being said to you when youre by yourself and with sincerity

and at least sei (with her wacky outfit and all lol) seems to get along with mephy and thinks theyre nice woohoo

so at the end of the day you have this guy that laughs a lot and gives mixed signals

and they fuck with you

and will most likely try to kill you more than once but hey thats just another tuesday at chaldea

Before I finish last thing I want to point out is this snippet from the fgo source material book which provides more information on servants, and this specific translated bit under mephistopheles

at the core of it all this homunculi....can be your friend! you just need to not go into despair i guess

of course this entire post is an overanalysis into an underwritten character, quarantine + all online college classes have done this to me, i have a douman icon what did you expect

OH...BEFORE I REALLY SIGN OFF AND FINISH THE POST HEY CLOWN LOVERS CHECK OUT THESE FANARTS AND FANARTISTS...

THE FIRST ONE IS HASENDOW YES THE DOUMAN DESIGNER... <3

i cant believe they drew mephy

twice !

Main six and how they are drunk 🥴

Asra

Impulsive yet focused drunk

If hes doing something, not even a strip tease will take his attention away

Will want a taco and stand up comedy

If he has his sights set on you, good luck babe

World on fire? It can wait. He needs to put moves on you

Doesn't matter how long you've been married or how many kids you have

When you tuck him in, faust squeezes around an arm to help him sleep faster (maybe help prevent a worse hangover, she is a familiar after all)

Lightest weight in the bunch

Julian

His stereotypes will be magnified

Handsy mf x 10

He will compliment any and everyone

Will forget some words and will come up with crazy descriptions (necklace- stone neck thing, reserve a spot on the beach- buy the beach)

DO NOT LEAVE HIM ALONE WITH HIS WALLET HE WILL DRAIN HIS ACCOUNT IN AN HOUR

He wants to make everyone happy

100 times more slippery boi

Heavy weight. Hed have to set out to get drunk to be drunk. It's worrisome if you think on it too long but I dont see him having a low enough tolerance to come home drunk most nights

Nadia

Know how shes all proper and eloquent?

Throw that out the damn window

She pretty damn hood drunk

She will call you out (and julian will get call bitch boy around her)

Put on music and watch this woman dance 😏

More handsy even in public. It matters not, you are hers

Its both hilarious and adorable to see

Loves fast food all of a sudden

I like to think of ot as the original jackle and hyde. Drunk her is her base desires and the personality she might have of she dodnt have to think of public appearance

I could write a novel on drunk nadia I love her so much

Muriel

I dont see much of a difference with him besides being giggly

I think he'd be more in the moment. Enjoying his love and his wolf (sometimes asra) and not so worried about thinking he'd hurt you

Usually the DD friend and he does not care one bit.

I have a feeling he makes his own mead, partly to avoid people, but he also has a taste for unpopular flavors

Will 100% make mead to fit your tastes if you want to

Inanna as a pillow? Bet your ass

Cuddle king?

Portia

Giggly drunk

Flirty drunk

Punny drunk

The horrible pick up lines julian would normally use? Shes yelling them. Even if your alone at home.

Imagine with me. Pasha and ilya. Yell singing what would you do with a drunken sailor, on the way to home through the streets

She gets hot, and will try to take clothes off

If in public, you know this is when you need to take her home

Make her a PBJ sandwich or two and she is so grateful

I just had the vision of pepi breaking a glass and her joining in.

Will let you know you turn her on, but is the most wholesome drunk ever

Lucio

Oh definitely not a light weight. I have a feeling his tribe came from a long line of drinkers, and im sure he drank to feel a little warmth as a mercenary. He has a good tolerance

Won't stop him from trying at times though

Has even less of a no filter. How is this possible?

He may be turning a new leaf. But he will slip up and act like an ass

And will immediately apologize, which will seem fake but the man's trying

Extra on talking himself up, but will slip in something like "im so fucking awesome, okay no im not" and hype people up who haven't pissed him off in the last year

Loud but we been knew

Surprisingly can have absolutely wonderful ideas for work or in general. Nadia is shook

Will make the cooks make one of every dish to have existed

You step in and ask them for just something with a good amount of starch

Will tell you how much he wants to have sex with you

When he gets to be, he'll wrap his arm (please remove the sharp object from the drunks body) tightly around you, maybe thinking your a pillow.

For some ungodly reason, after a drunken sleep, he actually gets up 2 hours early and is twice as refreshed

[vesuviannights]

What about Julian, Lucio, Asra comforting male!mc? You dont have to, thought I'd ask but.. tonight was not ideal for me.

Oh, of course! Sit down with some hot cocoa bb and let me show you how they would comfort you. I’m sorry you’ve had such an awful night, and I hope it improves and that you have lots of support to help you through it 🖤🖤

Asra

Please join him on the lounge, you can sit there for as long as you need. Lean back against his chest, or curl into it, or sit at the opposite side until you’re ready

Runs his fingers through your hair. He remembers hearing once that males rarely receive that kind of specific touch, something so simple and loving, and it’s always stuck in his head so he does it wherever he can

He’ll murmur to you about his day if it seems like you need the distraction, or stay quiet if that’s what you need

Faust will nuzzle into your temple, and her little tongue will flick out to kiss you on the forehead before she moves down to your chest and curls up there

Julian

Will place some music on to dance with you. A nice slow step, swaying side to side, with you tucked into his chest and his arms tight around your waist

His fingertips will trace your spine, and if you’re short enough his chin will rest on the top of your head - if not, he’ll nuzzle into your temple and place soft kisses there

Food is an excellent comfort, though he’s terrible at cooking himself. You have two options: be distracted by watching him fail miserably and laughing at his concentration face, or be distracted by taking pity on him and helping (pro tip: it’s a trick and he knows both will work to distract you so he isn’t fussed on which you choose)

Do you like starlight? The sounds of the city at midnight? He’ll walk you to his favourite secluded spot and lay down with you to watch the stars. You can point out constellations together, or at least pretend you know what they’re called

Lucio

Contrary to what people believe, he does notice something is wrong quite quickly because you’re important to him, and why wouldn’t he know and notice everything about you?

Snuggles with Mercedes and Melchior in his bed. He’s no scientist or doctor, but there isn’t a person alive who isn’t aware that puppy snuggles help with 84% of problems, or at least make you forget them temporarily

Baths are also an option. He’s already had his daily two himself, but he’s never said no to a third. If you’re comfortable, you can cuddle in one together, or he can just run one for you

Lay down on the bed, let him lay on top of you. He’ll put his head on your chest and listen to your heartbeat, squeezing your hand and tracing your arm until he feels you fall asleep

BONUS: All 3

They may not work cohesively normally, but seeing you miserable? Hearing that you’ve had an awful night? They’re a well-oiled machine

Asra lights the fire, Lucio finds the food, Julian keeps you distracted by checking you over with joking comments and little nuzzles/kisses

Once they have you stretched out on the lounge, you’re set out like this: Asra behind you, you sitting between his legs, Lucio with your feet in his lap massaging gently, Julian on the floor right up against the lounge with both his hands around yours

Asra pulls his fingers through your hair, Julian ensures your hands are warm, Lucio begins singing in his…wonderful musical theatre voice, but is quickly told off by Julian, who checks to see if you’ve laughed

[beardedhandstoadshark]

any book unrecommendations?

So uhh…this kinda turned into a bad joke summary of Faust 2? I‘m sorry in advance.

(Do not click the keep reading button if you dont wanna read that. Seriously there’s so much text under the cut.)

So yeah

Faust 2 the official sequel to Faust 1

No idea if it’s even a thing in the US outside of pop culture references but the first part is basically one of those "everyone read it in school“ books like Shakespeare‘s stuff

The only reason I know it exists is because part of it + a summary was added at the end of the Faust 1 book we had to read as some kind of bonus content

Spoilers for Faust 2 I guess but heres the rest of the very unprofessional and biased summary/commentary no one asked for, because once you take away all the metaphors and symbolism, some stuff that happens in the plot is kinda whack:

(You can make a pop culture guessing game out of this)

Anyways, Faust 2 the sequel to Faust written 20 years after the first one that starts with him- and I‘m not kidding- magically loosing all his memories of everything bad that happened in part 1 because a bunch of fairies randomly decided to put him into a forgetting nap.

His demon butler Mephisto (he made a pact with last past in exchange for potentially his soul) is off saving the finances of the German Emperor by introducing paper money while Faust has to summon Helen of Troy (and also Paris) for emperor guy and promptly gets a crush on her, but they vanish again because Faust confused his stylish hologram of her with reality

Demon butler kidnaps Faust and drags him into his old place, where a newly created Homunculus (who can only exist in his flask thing) sees demon guy and is like "Yo brooo you here too? Wassuuup! Just at the right time man thanks!“. Homunculus then looks into Fausts memory, sees he’s a simp for Helen, and decides to go to Greece for something called a "traditional Walpurgis Night“ (which Wikipedia says is multiple things but being a thing in Greece is not one of them) while Memphis Tennessee only tags along to see some witches, still dragging Faust behind him.

Faust stops taking his second nap of the book when they’re at the place Julius Caesar won against Pompeius (figured it should be mentioned considering tumblr‘s obsession with Ceasars death) and the gang™️ meets a bunch of Greek gods and heroes. Faust is like hell yea! While Demon poodle doesn’t wanna be here and is confused a bunch of his relatives are at this party too

Demon butler gets really drunk, but Flask bro stops him from dancing tango

Flask bro wants to be a real boi and starts a talking chain side quest along with his new buddy Thales (who‘s apparently one of the Seven Sages, who apparently were a real thing??). He tries to ride a dolphin, hits his flask body on a shell chariot, and explodes into sea lights. Rip Flask bro. Killed off like the side character you were.

Helen of Troy- the real one- gets isekai-ed into Fausts magical castle full of happiness and harmony (I‘m still not making this up) where he promptly courts her and she jumps into his arms, instantly learning his language (rhyming), while the choir that was isekai-ed alongside her is judging her for being a Minecraft tool

Faust has a hecking son with Helen who falls off a cliff shorty after which causes Helen to disappear too, again

Mephiles runs around using a seven-league-boot to go fast, carrying Faust with him. If the summary in front of me is worded correctly, it’s indeed a single boot, not a pair of boots.

Faust gets flashbacks to Faust

While carrying Faust who-knows-where Memes begins ranting about how cool mountains are because they were formed with devil gas while Faust is like "nah man the ocean‘s where it’s at, who needs power or women when you can control water instead“. He wants to accomplish this by acquiring land and building canals.

Mephistophephphp gets three pals of his to go help the emperor guy from the beginning win the war that was apparently happening all this time against the counter-emperor. Imposteror

Emperor guy divides the newly conquered land between a bunch of people and the Archbishop is like "yo chief that win was kinda sus you’re not using hacks are you? Would be a shame if that secret of yours got out somehow“ It has no consequences for Faust and he gets a beach anyway. But now he’s forced to do the most challenging thing yet- get into trading.

Flash forward to an old couple who exposition dump everything that happened during the time that was just forward flashed. Basically Faust became every pro-environment child movies‘ main villain, got rid of the beech, mowed down everything except old couples‘ house using magic spooky flames to build new stuff (but only at night), and wants Memis to get rid of them because he wants to have every everything (to build a cool place for himself between the trees there)

Muppet burns the house into the ground at night and Faust‘s reaction upon seeing the fire is literally "Oh no. Anyways“, but only because the cool trees are burning too.

He then hears that the couple -shockingly- didn’t give it away willingly and are not already chillin in their new house he offered, but were in fact kinda murdered by the demon gang. Not by the fire, but because they broke in which caused a double heart attack.

Faust doesn’t think it’s cool because he didn’t say to steal/kill them, but the others say he also didn’t say not to do those things so it’s actually his fault for not being specific enough. Cue sad cut to the next scene where the camera pans up to show the aftermath while the background fades out

He gets literally blinded by worry

Another flash forward, Faust is 100 years old and spooky death ghosts start shoveling his grave but he somehow manages to mistake them for his workers building a new dam so there can be more places for poor people, because he‘s totally cool and above his egoism now and wants to help others suddenly

Skipping his entire character arc makes him so happy he shouts out the magic sentence he wasn’t allowed to say that was established in the first book and part of the pact he made with demon butler, but it’s ok because he said "could“ instead of "can" so it doesn’t count

He dies anyways three seconds later

Mephistopheles wants to snatch his soul but a bunch of angels come down and throw magical roses that literally act as magical love pollen, is this where that weird fanfic trope came from

By the time that stops happening the angels already kidnapped Fausts' soul and Mephisto‘s salty, all while Faust gets a happy ending because he worked really hard to be the very best like no one ever was (even if he went the team rocket route. But hey, villain number one is still number one!)

The end~

God Given

Hi my name is, Cyred Van Axle! 16 years old. So as a younger daughter of my parents I am very thankful because I have them in my life and at the same time I am very blessed because God gave me a very supportive parents like them that will support you anytime, anywhere on what you are longing to be. They supported me at the very beginning of my life.

 I am very lucky to have them in my life. I can say that the greatest give that I received from my 16 years here in the world that Ive ever forgotten is my mother and father because they are god given to me. I am not here if they are not destined to each other. They are always here for me whenever I have a problems or difficulties in life, but sometimes I cant inevitable myself  to be unruly to them and being ill mannered in terms of exchanging words to them. I dont want to be a rude daughter to them  even though Im not that perfect person I know to myself that the love that I gave is faithful.

They sacrifice a lot of things for us just to give us a good and better life and in  exchange I need to study well, be an industrious daughter and student to them  just to give back all the hardworks they provided to us. So that for future I can handle myself well with their support and unconditional love.

As  a daughter of them I need to learn a lot of things at a young age so that I will not be burden to them at a later time. I should be a good daughter to them now because  I know what is right or wrong, be responsible enough, we are growing up so fast we often forget that they are also growing old all we need to do is appreciate them full heartedly and  be sensitive sometimes to them because if we did something wrong  it will might hurt their feelings and maybe they will got irritated to us.  

Back then they are the one who always take care to us but now that we are already growing up and they are also growing old its our obligation to give back all of it. Likewise we need to take care of them like what they are doing back then. They should feel the love of us to them and make them feel special to us. Hug and kiss your parents now! I hope there are some lesson that you have learned today.

Before I end this I will leave a one quotation. Thankyou!

“Listen to your parents. Be obedient to them whether you agree with them or not. They love you more than anyone else and have your best interests in your heart.”  -James E. Faust

POST-SCRIPTUM 737

EMMANUELLE PARRENIN, MAISON ROSE, SOUFFLECONTINU RECORDS FFL024

Par chez nous, cet album culte appartiendrait à ce qu'un critique a nommé "chanson française expérimentale", aux côtés de ceux de Brigitte Fontaine, Melmoth, Areski ou Colette Magny. Pourquoi pas ? Mais on l'associera avec autant de bonheur (sinon plus) au meilleur du folk au féminin de Vashti Bunyan, Collie Ryan, Linda Perhacs, voire, en ce qui concerne la France, de Sourdeline et Véronique Chalot.

Un tel album doit forcément beaucoup à l'ambiance de son enregistrement, que l'on imagine magique. On le sait avoir pris place à Fromentel, dans une ferme normande transformée en studio par le producteur Jacques Denjean, connu pour son travail aux côtés de Dionne Warwick, Françoise Hardy, ainsi que pour avoir fait partie des Double Six. Fromentel, c'est là aussi, qu'avec le même Denjean, Albert Marcoeur enregistra ses deux fantastiques premiers albums. Et Emmanuelle Parrenin, quand elle prend la suite de ce dernier un an après, s'y trouve en bonne compagnie : l'ingénieur du son associé à l'endroit est alors son amoureux, seul capable (imagine-t-on encore) de confectionner un écrin à la mesure d'un univers en apesanteur. D'ailleurs, cinq ans auparavant, Bruno Menny, l'amoureux en question, a enregistré un album, son seul et unique qui plus est, mais quel album : en matière d'électroacoustique, disons qu'il s'y entend et fait figure de digne rejeton de son mentor Xenakis !

Toute la singularité de Maison Rose réside justement dans la transcription fusionnelle de ces deux visions, celles d'Emmanuelle Parrenin et de Bruno Menny, oeuvrant au mariage réussi de la tradition et de l'expérimentation. Tradition héritée du collectage de chansons traditionnelles en zone rurale pour Emmanuelle Parrenin, dans la lignée du travail entrepris par Alan Lomax et Shirley Collins.  Expérimentations sur le son pour Bruno Menny, qui arrange et enregistre. Sans oublier ceux qui prêtent ici leur guitare (Denis Gasser), là des paroles (Jean-Claude Vannier, quand même). D'un côté le chant humble et sans exhibitionnisme, sa fraîcheur désarmante, servent des mélodies du genre de celles qu'on chante aux enfants afin de chasser les cauchemars. De l'autre, certaines insistances rythmiques, sur "Topaze" par exemple, et à la batterie notamment, évoquent le motorisme kraut de Faust.

Véritable havre de paix, Maison Rose envoûte par son intimité auréolée de mystère et de spiritualité, faite de chansons douces à la beauté fragile, à la fois ancestrales et futuristes. Originellement édité par Ballon Noir en 1977, cet album fait suite à quelques merveilles folk dont le pré-Mélusine Le Galant noyé.

À propos de Maison Rose toujours, si l'on doit à tout prix se risquer sur le terrain des analogies, l'on énumérera Vashti Bunyan, Linda Perhacs, Joanna Newsom, Collie Ryan, Shirley Collins, Trees Community, Sourdeline et Véronique Chalot comme venant à l'esprit spontanément. Mais c'est encore trop peu dire la singularité hors du temps / hors des modes de l'univers d'Emmanuelle Parrenin : car Maison Rose a été réalisé en 1977, en pleine effervescence punk.

---

An album such as this obviously owes a lot to the atmosphere in which it was recorded, which we can imagine was magical. We know it took place in Fromentel, Normandy, in a farm converted into a studio by the producer Jacques Denjean, known for his work with Dionne Warwick or Françoise Hardy as well as having been a member of the Double Six. It was also at Fromentel, that Denjean would record two fantastic albums with Albert Marcoeur. When Emmanuelle Parrenin followed in his footsteps a year later she was in good company: the sound engineer at the studio was her partner and therefore uniquely capable (we imagine) of creating an adequate soundscape for her delicate universe. What is more, five years previously, Bruno Menny, the sound engineer partner, recorded his first and only album, but what an album: in electroacoustic terms we can hear things which make him appear as the spiritual son of his mentor Xenakis!

What makes Maison Rose unique is exactly this fusion between the two conceptions of Emmanuelle Parrenin and Bruno Menny, creating a perfect marriage of tradition and experimentation. The tradition comes from the songs collected by Emmanuelle Parrenin in rural areas, in a similar vein to the work carried out by Alan Lomax and Shirley Collins. The experimentation is in the sound captured by Bruno Menny, who both arranged and recorded the album. This is not to forget those who came with their guitar (Denis Gasser), or their lyrics (no less a figure than Jean-Claude Vannier). On the one hand we have the humble and non-demonstrative singing, with melodies which remind us of songs we would sing to calm a child's nightmares, and on the other hand a pronounced rhythmic intensity at certain points, such as on "Topaze" where the drums in particular evoke the Motorik of Faust.

A real haven of peace, Maison Rose is enchanting with its aura of mystery and spirituality, with soft, gentle songs which seem both ancestral and futurist. Originally published by Ballon Noir in 1977, this album follows on from other folk marvels such as Le Galant noyé from the pre-Mélusine period.

On the subject of Maison Rose, if we had to risk a few comparisons we would mention Vashti Bunyan, Linda Perhacs, Joanna Newsom, Collie Ryan, Shirley Collins, Trees Community, Sourdeline and Véronique Chalot as those which spring spontaneously to mind. But this is too reductive for the timeless singularity of Emmanuelle Parrenin: because Maison Rose was recorded in 1977, in the midst of the punk revolution.
