Looking back and realizing that I was raised on Tintin, National Treasure, Indiana Jones, and the Divinci Code, it is not a surprise I study what I do.

[snugglyporos]

// so I think I mentioned before that because I've had to spend so much time waiting around at doctors offices and stuff, I've tried replaying mobile games. One of the ones I tried out like a year and a half ago was FGO, and as I said, I didn't realize it didn't transfer across phones, so I had to start over from scratch.

And that's annoying, but that's less annoying than three things I noticed.

One, they added a lot more servants, two, they decided that a lot more historical figures should be women, and three, a lot of them are... very young? And it makes me uncomfortable.

I also think that at this point, you need to kinda crap or get off the pot in terms of your sex choices for the characters. Clearly, your target audience is 'people who want to have sex with historical figures but they're teenagers now' so just make them all that way? Like just... do it? You clearly want to.

But as I said, it's kinda... off putting to me when they're like 'this is Mara, demon of sex and depravity, and we've decided her form should be that of a pre-pubescent female'

Look I know it's japan but jfc what are you doing???

I'm just very... confused by these decisions. Either we're dealing with someone who in like five years we're going to find out is now going to jail, or someone has a really specific fetish? That they've made into a game?

And it sucks because the idea of having various historical figures doing things is kinda interesting? but it's wholly wasted here.

been listening to a good amount of hozier lately and i’m just fixated on these lines from “Almost (Sweet Music)”

I'm almost me again. She's almost you

AND

I got some colour back, she thinks so, too

I laugh like me again, she laughs like you

and i can’t help but associate it with robin!dick and batman. what do you think. i can’t stop thinking.

oh my god.

THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!!

Also this part! -

"I came in from the outside Burned out from a joy ride She likes to roll here in my Ashes anyway"

This is literally Batman!! Coming back from breaking down after 3 years of fighting crime only to come face to face with Dick Grayson who grins brightly at him, tells him everything is okay, and cheers him up as if he wasn't covered in the blood of his enemies and hatred of himself. Bruce could be in the worst state ever and Dick would still love him for who he is because Dick's love for him is unconditional.

"I wouldn't know where to start Sweet music playing in the dark Be still, my foolish heart Don't ruin this on me"

Bruce fighting with himself that this isn't just a passing thing but he can't resist the happiness but he's also scared and loves Dick. It's about him opening up his windows and slowly breaking down his defenses in the face of Dick's continued persistence and pure positivity and warmth.

"Let's get lost and let the good times roll Let smoke rings from this paper doll Blow sweet and thick 'til every thought of it Don't mean a thing"

THIS IS CLASSIC GOLDEN AGE BRUCE AND DICK. During Golden Age, Bruce and Robin Dick literally were just living life for the thrill of it. They fought dinosaurs, met Leonardo Divinci, gasped at famous actresses, played pirates with Blackbeard - it was The Golden Age. The first line of the stanza is a callback to that. Of Bruce simply enjoying himself. Out with the bad, in with the good was their motto. Even the second line - "Let smoke rings from this paper doll" - could be Bruce reminscing about that time because bruce used to smoke cigars. Which he contemplates those times about through "Blow sweet and thick 'til every thought of it". It's all enjoyment - none of the bad that happened means anything. All forgotten.

"The very thought of you, and am I blue? A love supreme, seems far removed I get along without you very well Some other nights

Lord, the radio newsreader chimes Reporting Russian lullabies She'll turn to me, awake and ask "Is everything alright?" And, Lord"

"She'll turn to me, awake and ask 'Is everything alright?'" THIS IS CANON. IM SOBBING WHY DOES THIS FIT SO WELL. NOT TO MENTION THAT DICK ALSO DOES SPEAK RUSSIAN SO THEM LISTENING TO RUSSIAN LULLABIES IN THE 1950S ON RADIOS WHILE THEY READ THE NEWSPAPER?!! THIS IS!!

IS THIS NOT WHAT THIS SONG IS ABOUT?!

[trve-grimdark]

Are there any old school characters/models you'd like to see come back for Old World, either as new touched up models or just re-releases of old ones?

Hard to say...given the "time era" it takes place in. Most of the character minis I can think of may or may not fit it. But, If I were to make a small list: -Grom the Paunch -Older Kislev characters from old written lore like the Sister queens or the father of the Ice Queen -I'd love to see just for the sake of owning them all the Throne of Chaos characters come back to shelves. -Time of Three Emps Elector counts. -Possibly some of the characters who would take part in the future Great War against Chaos such as the Phoenix King Finubar and the Ever Queen. -Remakes of known characters like Van Horstman, Mordrek the Damned, Valnir the Reaper, Arbaal the Undefeated would be great for chaos. For the sake of WHF fans things like Karl Franz and Valten, Grimgor (even though I hate that character) could use some sprucing up. Wouldn't mind seeing some of the Dwarf kings/characters getting some love. -Last but not least would love to see some of the old "historical" style characters like Divinci and Marco Colombo

Canvases

My life is like a blank canvas

My actions are the paintbrush that paints it.

Then the rest of the world is the paint I paint with.

Lately my paints have been drying up, my brushes completely ruined and yet I still have nothing on my canvas.

l am no artist.

I see others that have masterpieces on their canvases yet mine is blank as time is short.

An affliction so imperial that Leonardo DiVinci himself could rip out my heart and use the blood

itself to paint a picture on my canvas so good that it puts the other canvases to shame while I lay there lifeless, as I myself have become the paint..

Art has never been my thing. Maybe I should pack up my art supplies and put it in a box, where maybe someone else could make use of them.

_____________________

hollowed ground

I am a dog gnawing a bone gone dry, so full 

of want, so hungry, so desperate 

to be filled. I crave to be seen 

in all my ugliness and still be chosen; I want 

someone to know my thorns 

as well as my soft, and to love 

each as dearly. I need to know I don't have to be palatable 

to be worthy of love. I need to know there is someone 

out there who will not pull the drapes 

on my scars, who will tend my wounds 

and not scorn me for being damaged. My heart 

is a black hole and a peach at once: yearning 

to be filled, yet so tender-sweet. My zipper-mouth 

soul craves for someone, for anyone, to caress 

it soft, to tame it gentle, to give it more peace 

than it has ever known, and a home 

where it can rest long-last. My chest 

is so heavy! So tired! So full and so empty 

at once! I ache to know the comfort of indulgence. 

Give me a buffet of love and I will eat the plates 

clean. My stomach-heart growls, a starved 

lion for what it's worth; tempt it with steak and see how it roars! 

I've never been so close to love, or to understanding 

what it means, as I was at 20 in a car, kissing 

someone who is no longer a girl, and who no longer loves 

me, and who never gave me the chance to love them. I’ve forgotten 

what it tastes like, but it still echoes on my eye-lid-black 

when I blink. Love is a ghost haunting the chambers 

of my lungs, screaming to my shaky breath 

how much it has to give, and no one to give 

to. All I want is to be painfully human, in the most ancient 

way. To love is to live, is to be known 

and to know and to choose to stay despite 

it all; it is to be chosen despite it all! 

I want to be someone's someone! I want to know 

the passions of Sappho; to know the nerve of DiVinci 

to model Christ after his gay lover; 

I’d say I want the kind of love that starts wars, 

but I’ve always been a pacifist. I am a chronic 

overachiever, but I always fail at love. Teach 

me I am not broken! Kiss my bruised 

knuckles and battered heart; rope 

together my scattered shards and mold 

them into something beautiful! I want something 

more real than my pain. I want someone 

who makes it all worth it. I want someone who looks 

at me like the Sistine chapel in all my chapped-lip 

glory, and who dares to make me hope 

again– or for the first time!

Good Stuff: EVERY MF DOOM ALBUM (1)

And if you can believe it, it's Doomsday once again. MF DOOM has been at the top as one of my all time favorite rappers, but I've admittedly never really delved into his discography beyond the occasional single I vibed with. So for this month this year, that changes as I marathoned most of the Metalface's career. We're only doing the solo and main collab albums this year. No EPs, remix albums or compilations, we're doing that along with KMD's works next time. Also don't expect detailed analyses of these, I'm both not a Monkey of musical expertise or actually researching anything for more than 3 minutes. We're going in chronological order, let's hit it.

OPERATION: DOOMSDAY (1999)

Prod: MF DOOM Absolute Banger Track: 'The Finest' Surprise MVP: 'Gas Drawls'

This is how you do a debut; exhibiting the best strength of DOOM's full throttle approach to verse and defining his new character as well as King Geedorah in certain tracks. It is weird hearing Dumile through the years where this and his time in KMD are when he sounds vocally younger. It's an overall consistent turn-of-the-century bop that you can feel the emcee's fire being made into this.

TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER (JUNE '03)

Prod: Metal Fingered Villain, E.Mason Absolute Banger Track: 'Krazy World' ft. Gigan Surprise MVP: 'Fazers'

I'll be real, Geedorah is the weakest link persona and it doesn't help that this album, while consistent, didn't strike a chord with me. Maybe it's because I'm not a big kaijuu fan, maybe because the distinction lacks here compared to the next persona in the universe. Overall, it's still good, continuing on rampaging energy founded from the previous, but it's not one I could get into as much as I would've hoped.

VAUDEVILLE VILLAIN (SEPTEMBER '03)

Prod.: King Honey, Heat Sensor, Max Bill, RJD2, Mr Ten Absolute Banger Track: 'Vaudeville Villain' Surprise MVP: 'Open Mic Pt. 1 & 2 (Skit)'

If Geedorah showed that DOOM was more than a fluke emcee, Viktor Vaughn reset the meta and laughed maniacally while doing it. The power in this came from the story it told, more explicit than the previous, and it was a consistent banger throughout. The Viktor alias feels like a prototype for what's to come; a nasty Stagolee type that'd spit in your direction and songs like Lickupon and Raedawn reflect that. Especially loved the open mic skits cuz that was a rare time I laughed listening to music.

MADVILLAINY (MARCH '04)

Prod.: Madlib, MF DOOM Absolute Banger Track: 'Figaro'/'Accordion' Surprise MVP: 'Rainbows'

I always heard about how this was one of the greatest MF DOOM album ever, if not the GOAT of rap period. And they weren't lying, this album is fucking powerful. It is flawless? To me, no. The only real critiques I have is that '3.214' in Madvillainy 2 was 'Great Day' done better and I couldn't vibe 'Rhinestone Cowboy's instrumental. Otherwise, the synergy and nonstop lyrical power of DOOM & Madlib here is actual peak. It's I say on par with Kendrick Lamar's TPAB where every track speaks of the MC at his most motivated. I'll say if Vaudeville Villain worked with him at his nastiest, this is him at his most imposing if that makes sense. This is where I felt they were having a grand old time making this, especially considering the story surrounding its production.

VV:2 (AUGUST '04)

Prod.: System D-128, Diplo, DiViNCi, Swamburger, Session 31, DJ I.N.C., Dub-L, The Analears Absolute Banger Track: 'Fall Back/Titty Fat' Surprise MVP: 'R.A.P. G.A.M.E.' ft. Manchild, Iz-Real

I think it's no surprise to say this is the weakest album in the timeline. This definitely has an air of diminishing returns where it not only felt like Viktor was barely in it, it's like he didn't want to be in this. It doesn't help that for all the producers you see, you get a 30 minute album that feels like Viktor was in it for a third of that. The monologues feel scattershot and with more guests than favorable that barely left an impression. Dumile is good as usual, it's everything else that really bogged this down.

MM..FOOD (NOVEMBER '04)

Prod.: MF DOOM, Madlib, Count Bass D, PNS Absolute Banger Track: 'Rapp Snitch Knishes' ft. Mr. Fantastik Surprise MVP: 'Guinnesses' ft. Angelika & 4ize

When it comes to DOOM's peak, Madvillainy is the strongest album while Mm..Food is the most memorable. This is a consistently bop where the concept theme makes for a more memorable vibe. I mean if Rapp Snitch Knishes wasn't on here, I would have a hard time picking the absolute best single. One day, it's Hoe Cakes. No, Beef Rapp. No, Deep Fried Frenz. Nevermind, it'd be One Beer. Mm..Food is that album where most of the songs stick with you and that's barely getting into the fun interludes using the old Spider-Man and Fantastic Four cartoons. This feels like the flipside of Vaudeville Villain where the atmosphere's uplifting and everyone's enjoying themselves. Plus again, it has Rapp Snitch Knishes, one of the all time greatest rap songs. Need I say more?

THE MOUSE AND THE MASK (2005)

Prod.: Danger Mouse Absolute Banger Track: 'Old School' ft. Talib Kweli Surprise MVP: 'Mince Meat'

If Madvillainy was the strongest hitting, Mm..Food being the consistent bop, Mouse and the Mask I consider the most fun. This has notably been labeled the "Adult Swim album" and frankly, if it combined with Occult Hymn was all we got for a thematic soundtrack for the channel, I would've been more than satisfied. Danger Doom is great if you're familiar with early era AS and if you're not, then this'll all probably feel annoying. Otherwise, this is the most fun knowing the references and hearing many of the classic characters like Aqua Teen and Brak. I'm in a way thankful this was their only collab with Adult Swim because I don't want to imagine MF DOOM trying to make bars for Rick & Morty; that... would wound my soul.

Now I said this marathon would be chronological, but I feel I had to jump ahead to the remaining collaborative albums since I wanna save DOOM's final solo for last...

KEY TO THE KUFFS (2012)

Prod.: Jneiro Jarel Absolute Banger Track: 'Winter Blues' ft. Indigo Surprise MVP: 'Banished'

Honestly, I know now how old Gorillaz fans felt when the band went shifted to synth pop post Plastic Beach. Thanks to youtuber Absurd Existence, shoutout to them, I decided to listen to the Butter version. It did not help because I could not vibe with the more techno sounds from JJ; the beats don't have the comical fun like Mouse or the consistent DJ power that Madlib brought. Key to the Kuffs isn't bad, but while DOOM doesn't falter in the least here, it's not as strong as I hoped.

NEHRUVIANDOOM (2014)

Prod.: MF DOOM Absolute Banger Track: 'Caskets' ft. DOOM Surprise MVP: 'Om'

I mean... never think you can appreciate a king rapper until you hear from an amateur. Don't get me wrong, it must've been great getting to collab with the villain himself, DOOM taking the backseat for a possible protege, but the emcee's bars felt very basic and inexperienced to me. It doesn't help that it felt like DOOM pulled random tracks from a Special Herb volume; nothing for this had as impactful a flow as it could have while I could understand the theme thanks to the interludes. Hell the absolute banger track is the only one of nine there I really enjoyed because DOOM is featured in it and Bishop was able to keep up and it felt like his moment too. I don't hold it against Bishop, as if he was too good to work with Dumile. The album's not bad, but I was just not into most of this whether or not DOOM was producing.

CZARFACE MEETS METAL FACE (2018)

Prod.: 7L, Jeremy Page, Todd Spafadore Absolute Banger Track: 'Meddle with Metal' Surprise MVP: 'Captain Crunch'

This marks the last full album Dumile would do before his death and it feels like a match made in heaven. It's a great throwback to 90s underground and Czarface is THE go-to for nerdcore rap. Then again, this admittedly didn't have the same highs as Mouse and the Mask even when there barely exists an actual bad track on this. There were a couple I noticed done better with a remixed beat that I came across way before listening but I can't spoil here. I guess my overall beef was that I couldn't vibe as much with Czarface and the runtime doesn't help admittedly. I recognize the strengths of Czar, but it's an album I'm not as much in a rush to replay.

SUPER WHAT? (2021)

Prod.: The Czar-keys Absolute Banger Track: 'Break Into Action' Surprise MVP: 'The King and Eye' ft. DMC / 'DOOM Unto Others'

I'll say this album was just what the world needed regarding any posthumous work from the villain. I think it works better than their previous LP not only because the runtime, but the beats I enjoyed better here because it's a more upbeat bop. Just saying, The King and Eye is one of my favorite openers to an album and it's emblematic to this feeling like a celebration of sorts while still having meaningful dark themes behind the tracks, especially when it was around COVID's stronger period. I recommend this if you want to get an more digestible feel of Czarface's music because I honestly prefer it over Czar Meets Metal.

BORN LIKE THIS (2009)

Prod.: DOOM, Mr. Chop, J Dilla, Madlib, Jake One Absolute Banger Track: 'Gazzillion Ear' Surprise MVP: 'That's That'

Consider it a theory, but this felt like Dumile's genuine final solo record whether or not he was gonna live longer; a tonal inverse of Operation Doomsday where he wanted to immortalize how far he came as an emcee and producer with the album having a loop with the end and beginning. Speaking of tone, this really feels like the darkest album with DOOM at his gruffest popping off for minutes on end. I mean it has ''Batty Boyz" making this instantly nastier than I expected. The use of Bukowski's "Dinosauria, We" and taking the "MF" out his name really shows that he was serious about his skill here and this was him taking a bow in a way. An imperfect but hardknocking album to close this marathon.

Next to Kendrick Lamar, I have seen very rare artists manage to be as consistently versatile and great as Dumile. He was basically a king of underground hip-hop and I wouldn't have done this if I thought his legacy wasn't worth remembering. Not every album is flawless, but every album showcases the greatness of not just Metal Fingers but the many he's worked with. This is by no means a ranking, don't want to downplay any of them in spite of my criticisms, but I recommend the tracks I've listed for newcomers to get a feel of each album.Of course this wasn't every album, but for next year. In the meantime conclusion, MF DOOM is forever the GOAT and may he continue to rest. Thanks for reading.

Also i follow up question to my earlier godparents question. I know you state that usagi and Leo will not have a romantic relationship in this story but i think it would be funny if divinci called usagi dad like a adopted dad.

Davinci doesn't even call Leo dad at first. He calls him Leo because that's what everyone else calls him. Leo, Uncle Leo, Leonardo. Sure, Momo called Mikey Papa and Sanzio calls Raph Pops/Dad, but. Bardi calls Donnie Don. Occasionally "father" when he's talking about him to someone else. And the turtles basically never call Splinter Dad. Leo never says it. So Davinci psyches himself out of calling Leo "dad".

To Davinci Dad is like a sacred word he's terrified of not being worthy of using. Leo has to sit him down and talk to him about it. He sticks to Uncle Usagi like the rest of the kids. (Because Leo and Usagi don't have a romantic relationship, Usagi doesn't visit often. Maybe two or three times a year.)
