THE LEGEND OF VOX MACHINA Character design TV series Young adults

My lead Phil Bourassa gave me the opportunity to create the big villain monster of the season 1 finale. They approved it. And then I had to do the turnaround! :-O Without a doubt the most challenging turnaround of my career! I had a lot of fun though ^^ The Legend of Vox Machina season 1 and 2 are available on Amazon Prime Video. This is the animated adaptation of the popular Youtube roleplaying show Critical Role (2M+ subscribers), produced by Titmouse Inc.

DEATH DIES - Stregoneria

Death Dies a été créé en 1995 par Demian De Saba et Samael Von Martin respectivement batteur et guitariste/fondateur du légendaire groupe de black metal italien EVOL.

L'intention était de revisiter le son du groupe principal afin d'offrir quelque chose de plus violent, bien que combiné avec des influences prog et folkLe groupe sort en 1998 un split CD avec Satanel intitulé "When Death Died" via Maggot Records, et en 1997 un 7" intitulé "The Art of Domination".

Produit par Northern Darkness Records, "The Sound of Demons" premier album est sorti via "Black Tears Of Death" en 2002 devenu trio avec l'ajout de Rex Tenebrae, ex EVOL. Deux autres albums suivront « Product of Hate » (en 2003) et « Pseudochristos » (en 2006), pour BTOD et pour le label français Adipocere. En 2015, l'album "Legione" sort avec plusieurs chansons de leur propre catalogue et de la discographie d'EVOL qui ont été dûment réenregistrées. En 2022, le groupe est passé à un line-up de cinq musiciens, composé par Andy « Bull » Panigada de Bulldozer : guitare solo sur « Argento », Lucho Sanchez de Blizzard Hunter : guitare solo sur « Vento d'Erebo , Simon Fèrètro de Mater A Clivis Imperat : guitare solo sur « Mystery Forest », Abiura l'Eterno ” et “Falce e Corona”, M. Yasuzuky d'Abigail: Voix sur “Mystery Forest””

​Ce nouvel album intitulé "Stregoneria" est la somme des influences et des différentes expériences musicales des membres du groupe. L'album se caractérise souvent par une combinaison de riffs de black et de speed metal, entremêlés d'ouvertures mélodiques pas loin des sonorités typiques des écoles occultes et black metal italiennes et grecques. "Stregoneria" présente le son majestueux, et malveillant du groupe dans sa forme la plus puissante à ce jour, brut et robuste comme jamais auparavant. Un point culminant de toutes les caractéristiques du son classique de DEATH DIES : des murs de guitare épais et palpitants et une écriture de chanson simple qui enfonce le clou, et ceci à plusieurs reprises.

L'album comprend également une nouvelle version du classique "Sorrow of the Witch" d'EVOL, qui a été réenregistré et mis à jour avec une production plus raffinée.

Death Dies sollicite les vapeurs des ténèbres black et speed metOl afin de corroder à sa puissance maligne un disque qui s’harnache à ses comètes atmosphériques. Il y a là une telle vigueur sous les cendres, sous toutes les foudres, qu'une semence gronde sa passion sonique. Le groupe fait jaillir ses tripes, des troncs ardents, des levains volcaniques, toute la déchéance des cieux et de sa chair résonne les tréfonds de la nuit.

Bonds to Our Destiny, Chapter 4, “It’s okay, right?”

Oh, I’m so sorry that I hadn’t update since almost a month on this story !!! ><

As I try to have a few chapters ahead already written when I post a new one (at least two), well, I hadn’t update because I was lacking one ! x) That not mean I haven’t written at all, in fact, I post a little story in three chapters about the Pokemon fandom, a HoennChampionShipping for those who wondered, called ‘Looking for you in the midnight sky’, a re-telling of the Cinderella tale ! ^^

Also, why I took my time? Well, for a few weeks, I thought that I had to write a long story for this fanfiction, that I need more fillers and all but… Well, it’s my story, and if the way it’s planed in my head means it’s going to be a short one, well, let it be a short one!

I don’t think that I’ll write more than twenty chapters, but then again, it will depend if how things will go from when the movie arc will begin!

Still, you’ll have a couple of chapters fillers ahead of you that will settle down a few things more.

Enjoy! o/

(One more thing, just to be sure. About the dream sequence, I put « ~*~ » between some paragraph because I switch between Varian and Rapunzel POV, this way it should not confuse you (I hope !))

oOoOoOoOo

After what had happened this day in the kitchen, Varian knew that argument ( if he could call this incident like that ?) was just the beginning of something big… Very big, and that, no matter how hard he’ll try, something had just torn something in his relation with his father.

And deep inside, the young alchemist dread the coming-day where everything will just blow up into his face.

Still… There were the dreams…

Varian knew that his father forbade him from trying to understand them but… He couldn’t help himself, he had to know what they really are.

But why?

It was like a sort of gut feeling, his mind working, always looking for some kind of answers because he was a man of science, didn’t he? He had to do some experiences with them to understand how they worked. But what frustrated him the most was that he couldn’t use alchemy to study them.

To be honest, Varian had been surprised when the Girl told him the following night that she had awakened with the lantern in her arms. And despite his father warnings, he knew that was only the tip of the iceberg and that he had to investigate further.

Some months have passed since their birthday and the Girl and he had tried some experiences about this « Water-curtain event », as he liked to call it (and because it was the best way to define it), like how make it appeared by command and not by chance: for that, both of them seem able to do so, even if it appeared that the task was easier to accomplish for Varian, his side clearer, mostly when the moon was full, even if he couldn’t understand why. The Girl side, on the other hand, was always blurry, she struggled more to make it appear and she couldn’t take any object from the other side of the curtain. Same for sleeping with an object: Varian could take them in but, on the other hand, was unable to take something from the dream to the reality, where the Girl could, might it had been brought by Varian himself or was created inside the realm.

Oh yeah, because they had recently discovered that they could create things from nothing in the noplace and that, from night to night, the objects left in the dream were still there when the came back.

Thus, the noplace transformed itself from a void nowhere to a full organized chaos where paint material, alchemy stuff, invented objects, various plants, furniture, carriages ( ?!) and other improbable things were side by side in a strange harmony.

Sometime, Varian wished he could bring back with him some stuff from the dream realm to his room, like the prototype inventions that would take months to create in reality but were easier to do here as the time worked in strange ways in the noplace, but also because the Girl gave him a lot of things, mostly painting and Gosh this girl is really gifted with a paintbrush !

But one of the other things that Varian couldn’t truly understand about those dreams was the fact that he truly felt complete in the Girl presence. It was a sort of a warm, familiar feeling he felt bloomed in his chest each time he saw the Girl smile, even if he couldn’t see her face, or at least remembered how she looked like.

Once, he asked his father about this feeling.

« Why, are you in love, Varian? »

The young alchemist had really thought hard about it for the rest of the day.

Yes, he did love the girl but… In a way, it was something more similar to what he felt toward Quirin than the love between two lovers like he saw sometimes in the street of Old Corona. But it was different from the love a son had for his father too, it was as if there was something… more about his relationship with the Girl, deeper by many aspects, but he couldn’t point out what.

So one night he asked her

« How… How do you feel toward me…? »

The question had popped out during one of their comfy silence where the Girl hummed slightly a very enjoyable tune while drawing random stuff on a sheet of paper upon her knees. She just stopped and looked at him straight in the eyes.

« Why do you ask me that?

« It’s just… I can’t define what our relation is… » he chuckled nervously, « it’s just that you are very important to me a-and it’s just like I feel complete only when I’m in your presence and… » Varian cast his eyes down, « Well… I do love you, but not in a romantic way… But also different from what I feel toward my father, and it’s not quite friendship so… » he voice trailed off as the Girl stayed silent.

~*~

Rapunzel blinked at the boy, trying to process his words. Yes, she had too thought about her relationship with the younger one and she knew exactly what he was feeling because… She felt the same way too.

So slowly, she headed toward the younger one and put a hand on his shoulder. The Boy looked up at her and gave Rapunzel a very shy smile and she felt her heart melt.

On a whim, she put her arms around the younger and drew him into a sweet embrace. He hugged her back.

« I know exactly what you are feeling… » she said in his ear, « … I tried to understand too but I can’t find a good way to definite it but… » she pushed him smoothly out of her arms to lock her eyes with his, « …But I think the best way to define it is that you are just like the little brother I never thought I would ever have, and maybe even more… » she chuckled, « Still, the words failed me because they aren’t strong enough… »

The Boy smiled back at Rapunzel, beaming at the older’s answer. Then, he tilted a little his head and a playful glint alight his blue eyes « In that case, you are the Big Sister I always dream  to have.»

Rapunzel paused for a moment and then giggled at the (bad) pun the Boy had made before giving him a last squeeze on the shoulder.

Even if he had said this as a joke, she saw that he really meant what he had said, and just knowing this fact warmed her lonely heart a little more.

But, Rapunzel still had the feeling she owed him something… He had given her so many things and… She couldn’t repay him, she couldn’t even give him a birthday present, and it frustrated her so much!

Surely, there should be something that can she can do to repay him, right?

The fourteen-years-old girl thought hard, thinking about what she can do to thanks the young alchemist… And then an idea popped in the front of her mind.

She hadn’t tried to invoke them during the night for a long time, and never in a dream before. Rapunzel knew that the exercise was easier to do during the daytime but she wouldn’t be able to show him them if she was awake… But, it worth the try, right?

And, to be honest, she thought that the way she could see the world sometimes was truly a gorgeous sight, and she wanted to share it with him.

So she put a hand on the younger boy arm, « Tell me… I want to show you something, but I’m not sure that it’ll work but… Still… Do you want me to try it? »

The boy tilted a little his head and looked at her with intrigued eyes, « Well… I’m a bit curious now… What is it? »

« It’s something that I can see when I’m awake but I never try when I’m asleep… » The boy gave her an encouraging smile « Don’t doubt of yourself, I’m sure you can do it! »

Rapunzel beamed a little at this words and then close her eyes, reaching for the familiar tug inside of her chest, pulling on it.

A few seconds passed before she heard a gasp coming from the boy in front of her, and she allowed herself a smile. She opened her eyes to look at the familiar sight before her.

When she was younger, Rapunzel could only see a few strings, five to be exact, but as she grew older, she began to see more and more bonds crossing the sky, the air, the walls, everything in a gleaming web of billions of colors. And now, she was able to share the view with the younger boy.

His eyes were glowing with wonder as he turned on himself, the head tilted backward and the mouth slightly agape.

Strings were crossing in front of them too, and he reached a hand toward the strings to touch them, and his fingers simply passed through the tin cords. Finally, the Boy looked down at the Girl.

« What are they…?

« I’m not sure, but I have my own theory…

« Which is…?

« I suppose them to be the bonds that tied people to each other all around the world… Each time one meet someone else, a bond is created…

« So, we do share one of them?

« Maybe, but we never met in real before so… » she frowned a little, «Let me try if I can find it… » And slowly, she put one hand to her heart and let her own bonds coming out of it. First, it was the red string from her mother, then Pascal’s, the two purple one and finally…

She let a small smile appeared on her lips. In a way, Rapunzel wasn't surprised at all to see which one was her bond with the little boy.

~*~

Varian gasped once more when he saw the string poured out of the Girl’s chest straight to his own.

And even if he was still marveled by all the strings that stripped the sky above their head, he was far more fascinated by the bond that linked him to the Girl. He never could have thought that it would be like that!

It seemed to be made of silver and gold knitted together in a very complex-yet-artistic way, some crystal enameling the bound and making it shining under the colorful light of the other strings surrounding them. But what intrigued him the most was the fact that the string shined with a faint gleaming light different from the others.

Unlike all the other strings that surrounded them, he could feel the bound between his fingers, pounded with energy, and for a split of seconds, Varian and the Girl mind were connected as if they were one.

It was as if he was himself, her, but also somebody else, as if he was a newborn and a thousand years old man at the same time as if he had everything to learn from the world, but also had all the knowledge of it in the palm of his hand.

During this split of a second, his eyes connected with the Girl emerald ones and he knew that she felt the same way. And as he looked into their deep, a wave of nostalgia hit him with force, leaving in the back of his mind the taste of forgotten memories from a life he hadn’t live.

Flamming hair…

Singing voices…

Warm days…

Life and death…

Renewal…

Light…

Darkness…

Sorrow…

Regrets…

Danger…

Protect, Protect, PROTECT!

A voice crying

« No, please! »

A plea…

« Stop it before it’s too late… »

… Please, don’t repeat my mistakes…

And as soon as the sensations took over him, they disappeared in a blink, leaving behind only a strange taste in his mouth.

Still looking into the Girl green eyes, he could see that she felt something but… It appeared that she didn’t experience what he had just seen.

But he didn’t remove his hand from the bound, soaking in the sweet warmth emanating from it.

And more than before, he had never felt as complete as at this moment. Varian stayed silent for a few seconds, still trying to process what he had just seen. It was at this moment that he noticed that he was shaking a little.

The Girl seemed to see this too and she crossed the short distance between them and pulled him into one of her trademark hugs.

« Are you okay… ? » she murmured into his hair.

Varian only shook his head, not trusting his voice yet, one hand still clinging to the bond, the other around the Girl in front of him.

A storm of confused emotions had settled itself inside his chest, as well as thousands of questions. And deep down, he knew that it was only the beginning.

« I… Don’t know » Varian managed to say after a few moments

« It’s okay, I… I’m not sure to truly understand what’s happening but… I suppose it’s okay, right? »

« Sure »

Through the bond, Varian could feel the Girl concern. Once again, this strange, familiar feeling bloomed into his chest.

Finally, they stopped hugging each other but didn’t let the other go yet. They simply sat in the middle of the nowhere, surrounded by all their creations, the strings still stripping the sky above them, and their own link gleaming between their two hearts.

And even if he still had a slightly bad foreboding after seeing what he saw when he first touched the gleaming cord, he knew that everything gonna be okay, right?

Right…?

Once again, sorry for all my mistakes, thank you for reading, don’t forget to put a review! :D

Hoping next time I’ll be on time ! ^.^

A long time ago, I used to sketch people in the subway in Paris. It is a great exercise to draw fast, to catch the right pose and right expression, because there is always a lot of movements there. This illustration is based on one of these sketches, and obviously made at home on photoshop afterwards.

BTOB asked Melodies to think of a subunit name for them, and they had their own suggestions too...

Changsub: Can we pick our stage name again? I want to go with Alpha

Eunkwang: Then I'm Silverlight (you already are silverlight tho lmao)

Eunkwang reading fan suggestions in the chat: BTOB-Black, BTOB-Red...isn’t that Minhyuk?

Minhyuk: Yes, BTOB-Red is me :)

Minhyuk reading a comment: What is this...BTOB-Old?

Changsub: Who wrote that...reveal yourself!

Eunkwang: Arirang too.... BTOB-reserves, BTOB-30 (average age 30)
