Prompt 167

Honestly, Danny is having such a good time right now. He gets to travel with Ellie, explore space, just have fun. Plus his secondary protector-instincts are having soothed despite him not technically doing any hero-ing anymore. Really his sister had the right idea when she decided she wanted to become a doctor, this is honestly a blast.

And if someone does end up passing away, well, Ellie is always happy to help soothe their spirit and guide them to the Realms where they can reach their respective afterlife. Or become a ghost. 

They are completely oblivious to the fact that there are now legends and entire temples dedicated to them now. Apparently accidental ascension is in fact a thing, as Dan later laughs at them about.

Danny Phantom Required* Watching

*It isn't actually required. I know there are a ton of phans who have never even seen a single episode of the show, but it's a fun watch and I would recommend at least catching some.

Sorting the episodes into colors (with the first letter in parenthesis by the title for those who might be too colorblind to tell). Note that this is all just my objective opinion, and everyone is free to leave their own thoughts on this!

Green (G) - Introduction of an important character or major plot development, such as a new power for Danny or another major shift in the status quo. If you can only watch a few of the episodes, watch these.

Pink (P) - Introduction of a side character or minor plot development.

Red (R) - Introduction of a new character worth mentioning or other general status quo change, but the episode is generally considered to be...not great by most people. (But hey, nothing wrong with liking these episodes!) They'll be summarized at the bottom of each episode description for those who can't be bothered to watch them.

Blue (B) - Nothing important happens to the overall plot, but it's a fun episode that fleshes out the characters.

Season 1

Episode 1: Mystery Meat (R) - Establishes the show and its main characters: Danny, Sam, and Tucker, as well as a lot of other important characters such as the Fenton parents and Jazz, and minor recurring characters like Dash and the Lunch Lady. The writers are still getting their footing so the main trio is unfortunately among the flattest they get here.

Episode 2: Parental Bonding (P) - Introduction of Paulina and Dora, first look at Valerie, and most importantly, Danny's power to overshadow people. Fun episode in general, Tucker makes a weird comment at the start but this is one of Sam's absolute best episodes as a character. (Tucker and Sam actually getting to be fun characters instead of just "butt-monkey comic relief" and "selfish asshole" is rarer than I'd like, so I always like pointing out the episodes where they get some love.)

Episode 3: One of a Kind (G) - Introduction of Skulker, a recurring major antagonist, and his motivations.

Episode 4: Attack of the Killer Garage Sale (P) - Introduction of Technus, Ghost Master of Technology and Destroyer of Worlds, Manipulator of Machines, Lord of all Gadgetry, Wizard of Integrated Circuitry, Master of All Things Electronic and Beeping.

Episode 6: What You Want (P) - First appearance of Danny's Ghost Ray and introduction to Desiree and the Ghost Catcher (a Fenton device with an unfortunately rather...culturally insensitive name and design), explores Tucker and his relationship to Danny. I went back and forth between making this green and pink because I'm biased in my love for this episode, but it isn't necessary to comprehend later episodes. (If you can watch it, though, it's a lot of fun as we get to see how close Danny and Tucker are and how Tucker feels about Danny's powers.)

Episode 7: Bitter Reunions (G) - Formal introduction to main series antagonist, Vlad Masters, and his relationship with the Fentons and the ghosts of the Ghost Zone. (Antisemitism tw: Vlad has hired ghost hitmen that are vultures with Yiddish accents, hooked beaks, and fezzes. They thankfully don't show up anywhere else, as far as I can remember.)

Episode 8: Prisoners of Love (P) - Introduction to the Ghost Zone itself and Walker, a side antagonist. Shows Alicia, Danny and Jazz's maternal aunt who never appears again after this episode.

Episode 9: My Brother's Keeper (G) - Gives Jazz a focus and formally makes her a major player in the plot through a certain discovery she makes. Also introduces side antagonist Dr. Penelope Spectra.

Episode 10: Shades of Gray (G) - Valerie Gray, a background character from Episode 2, gets new motivations and becomes an important part of the series going forward.

Episode 11: Fanning the Flames (P) - Ember is introduced, and she hypnotizes the entire town to fall for her with her music. To keep Danny out of her hair, she makes him fall for Sam. Whether this episode is a Pink or a Red depends on whether or not that bothers you. (Racism tw: there's a sequence towards the end of the episode that shows people around the world watching Ember, and they're all very stereotyped appearances of Japanese, Eastern European, Arabian, and Indigenous Australian people. Thanks, Hartman.)

Episode 12: Teacher of the Year (B) - A fun episode with Technus. It does have some of that early 2000s "don't underestimate me because I'm a girl" stuff, but it's still a good episode with a lot of heart.

Episode 13: Fright Night (P) - Introduces Fright Knight. A Halloween special that has its ups and downs (eating underwear?) It's just really funny that an actual ghost, who has been to the maddeningly twisted and alien world of the afterlife, still can't scare anyone to save his life.

Episode 14: 13 (P) - It's a shame this isn't actually the 13th episode. Anyway, it introduces Johnny 13 and Kitty, while Tucker and Sam get to hang out without Danny while trying to solve Tucker's new run of bad luck and the fallout for his reputation.

Episode 15: Public Enemies (G) - Walker's back and he's making a major shift in the status quo: ghosts are confirmed to exist as he stages a major invasion of the town. Things don't go well for Danny, and the repercussions will be felt for well into the series. Also introduces Wulf, a ghost who looks like a werewolf, exclusively speaks Esperanto, and has the ability to tear the fabric of reality to create portals between Earth and the Ghost Zone. He's putting this power to use for Walker, but it's clearly not by choice...

Episode 17: Maternal Instinct (B) - Maddie notices her son is growing distant from her and tries to take him to a science symposium to bond with him, but disaster strikes and leaves them in the woods, with the only shelter available being...a cabin owned and occupied by none other than Vlad. Meanwhile, Jack tries to understand Jazz, who doesn't seem to want anything to do with him or ghost hunting. Lots of great character moments for the Fentons.

Episode 18: Life Lessons (B) - Danny and Valerie, arriving late to class because they both were out ghost hunting, get paired up in home economics class to raise a flour sack baby together. We get more insight into what Valerie's life is like after Shades of Gray, and she learns to get along with both Fenton and, temporarily, Phantom, after an excursion through Skulker's part of the Ghost Zone. As a B-plot, Tucker makes money babysitting other students' flour sacks while ignoring the one he has with Sam, and Sam tries not to get attached to the sack. It's not important to the plot AT ALL but I'd put this as a must-watch if I could. Alas, I made the rules and must follow them.

Episode 19: The Million Dollar Ghost (B) - A million dollars is placed on the head of the ghost boy, Public Ghost Enemy #1: Inviso-Bill, known to us in the audience as Danny Phantom.

Episode 20: Control Freaks (G) - The circus is in town! New villain Freakshow gets introduced, and he becomes important later. Kinda. Depending on how much you like a certain blue episode that comes on down the line. The trio go to this cool new goth circus, but there's a string of ghostly robberies in town and Danny has been acting strangely lately...

Season 2

Episode 1/21: Memory Blank (R) - Danny and Sam have a fight, Sam wishes she'd never met him, Desiree makes the wish come true and now Danny has no powers and neither he nor Tucker remember her at all. Sam gets him fried by the portal again to get his powers back, but this time with a new logo she designed slapped onto his chest. Really all that happens is Danny gets his logo. This can be skipped...if you wish. ;)

Episode 2/22: Doctor's Disorders (B) - There's a bug going around - literally - getting the kids at Casper High sick. Symptoms include sneezing, chills, coughing, congestion, and various ghost powers depending on the student. The only ones immune seem to be Danny (thanks to his ghost powers) and Tucker (wearing his new homemade cologne that smells awful in a different way to everyone). A new hospital opens up to treat them, but something fishy is definitely going on. ...But Tucker is afraid of hospitals. Great Tucker episode.

Episode 3/23: Pirate Radio (P) - Introduction to Youngblood, an occasional antagonist. A new radio program pops up, and every adult in town (and Jazz, who's 16 but sees herself as an adult) is enraptured by it and the one song that it plays on loop. Then one day, every single adult in town leaves behind a note that they're going on a cruise, and it's up to Danny to rally the teens of Amity Park to discover what's so fishy about the cruise and get their parents back.

Episode 4/24-5/25: Reign Storm (G) - The creepy castle in the Ghost Zone Danny accidentally freed Fright Knight from in Fright Night holds yet another secret: the coffin of the Ghost King, known as Pariah Dark, whose goal is to rule over the Ghost Zone and the human world with an iron fist. Vlad frees him hoping to snatch the powerful artifacts on him, but it backfires and now the King is free and follows the fleeing ghosts to Amity Park, which he promptly invades. Danny, Valerie, and various enemies including Vlad need to team up to seal King Pariah back within his sarcophagus and save both Amity Park and the Ghost Zone as a whole. Major status quo shifts happen here.

Episode 6/26: Identity Crisis (B) - Not my favorite episode, but I'm including it here because it was popular with the Phandom a decade ago. Danny gets tired of trying to balance his human and ghost lives, so splits himself in two using the Ghost Catcher that was introduced in Season 1 episode 6: What You Want. That also, unfortunately, divides his personality to two extremes; the human half ("Fun Danny") is lazy while the ghost half ("Super Danny") is an absolute ham of a superhero stereotype, and Tucker and Sam struggle to put their friend back together so he can stop Technus in a way only he can (and also because both halves are honestly really annoying them).

Episode 8/28-9/29: The Ultimate Enemy (G) - This is THE episode of all time. Maybe not the best episode, but it's great in its own right and, more importantly for this list, introduces another major status quo shift. It's also basically required viewing for the comic that came out last year (at time of writing), as that comic is a direct follow-up to this episode. Clockwork, a ghost that is essentially a deity of time, has a mission to eliminate the greatest threat to Earth and the Ghost Zone that has ever been before he comes into that role: a ghost named Danny Phantom. Danny comes face-to-face with a version of himself that caused a doomed future, and needs to fight to ensure that future never comes to pass.

Episode 10/30: The Fright Before Christmas (B) - The boy Danny Fenton, a Grinch to his core, finds the holiday season to be quite a chore. Into the Ghost Zone to blow off some steam, he accidentally causes a scene: the Ghost Writer's finished manuscript in ashes, and with Danny's indifference he clashes. He traps him in a book that warps space and time, and forces all events in his life to rhyme. You're in for a treat if you like all these rhymes, but if they annoy you, then don't waste your time. (This factoid may not matter to you, but this is where we learn of the Christmas Truce!)

Episode 11/31: Secret Weapons (R) - Jazz is overbearing, Danny doesn't like it, so Jazz decides to go to Vlad. The episode's latter half isn't bad, but it's R because Jazz's constant invasions of Danny's privacy and the repetitive thermos jokes grate on me. If you plan to skip, the thing that makes it a red episode is this: Vlad learns that Jazz is in-the-know.

Episode 12/32: Flirting With Disaster (G) - A lot of the more plot-relevant episodes in season 2 (and one in season 1) have been building romantic tension between Danny and Valerie, and here's where it comes to a head: they actually start dating! However, after some jealous stalking thorough investigating, Sam finds that there's someone pulling the strings, and manipulating their real feelings for each other to pull them together and get them out of the way... Valerie especially undergoes a lot of major character moments, and we learn a lot more about her as a person. One of my personal favorite episodes (and I don't just say that because I'm a Danny/Valerie truther) (the "engraved" ring and Sam being a stalker about it aren't great, but honestly I just try to ignore those parts. Yes, I know I'm biased).

Episode 17/37: Kindred Spirits (G) - While Danny's busy being an asshole to his friends leaving Sam and Tucker to take the blame for property damages during his fights, he finds a strange girl named Danielle (or "Dani") who claims to be his cousin and shares an eerie resemblance with him. The similarities go more than skin deep, as she quickly reveals that she's ALSO half ghost. Tucker and Sam warn Danny that there's something suspicious about the whole ordeal (in between being left behind to be blamed for collateral damage more times than I'm bothered to count right now), but when Danny winds up in trouble anyway, they still skip detention (that he got them in) to save him before it's too late. Danny's a dick, but despite that, it's still a good episode and we get introduced to Dani before her next appearance.

Episode 19/39-20/40: Reality Trip (B) - Freakshow gets the Reality Gauntlet: an off-brand Infinity Gauntlet that can warp reality to anything he desires. He gets Danny's secret revealed to the world, causing the government agency the Guys In White (from Million Dollar Ghost in season 1) to relentlessly pursue him. Luckily, thanks to knowledge Sam gained from a book on the gauntlet, the main trio manages to warp the gems to different parts of the United States, severely limiting Freakshow's power. Unluckily, Freakshow retaliates by kidnapping their parents and Jazz, forcing the three to go on a cross-country road trip to get the gems back to Freakshow and save their families while evading the law. No permanent shifts of the status quo, but one of my personal favorite episodes. It's a fun ride!

Season 3

Episode 1/41: Eye for an Eye (R) - A prank war between Danny and Vlad ends in Vlad becoming mayor and passing a lot of horrible laws specifically to spite Danny. The laws are undone by the end of the episode, but Vlad stays mayor.

Episode 2/42: Infinite Realms (R) - In trying to map out the Ghost Zone, the main trio end up meeting Frostbite: leader of a realm in the Zone known as the Far Frozen, filled with spirits that take the form of peaceful, yeti-like monster folk who revere Danny as the chosen one who defeated Pariah Dark. Frostbite is also keeper of the Infi-Map: a map that can take the user anywhere in the Ghost Zone. Now for the bad news: Vlad is here, he wants world domination now for some reason, and he wants the map to help him do it. Vlad steals the map, the trio needs to get it back. It's not the worst episode, but Vlad's villain decay is...tragic. Tl;dr: Frostbite is the leader of a tribe of friendly yeti spirits and keeps the Infi-Map, which can take the user to any point in the ghost zone.

Episode 5/45: Forever Phantom (B) - One of the only actually fun filler episodes in season 3. Introduces us to Amorpho: a ghost with the power to shapeshift into anything and anyone, who uses their power to cause mayhem for attention. They bite off more than they can chew when they impersonate Danny Phantom, however, and a Fenton device gone awry locks both Amorpho and Danny into the form of Danny Phantom. Wacky hijinks abound.

Episode 6/46: Urban Jungle (G) - Haha green. Like plants. Anyway, Danny has been cold lately. No matter what he does or where he is, he's consistently freezing. It gets worse: while Danny's in this weakened state, a giant plant ghost named Undergrowth takes over Amity Park and possesses Sam. Unable to fight the constantly-regenerating Undergrowth or to keep himself from freezing, he flees into the Ghost Zone to seek Frostbite's aid.

Episode 9/49: Frightmare (B) - Danny wakes up one night to learn, to his horror, that Nocturne, the ghost of dreams, has put all of Amity Park into a deep sleep to feed on their energy. He enters the dreams of his friends to wake them and get their help taking Nocturne down. A good episode for people who ship Danny/Sam, and a GREAT episode for people like me who like to pretend that all the episodes I left off the season 3 list were just bad dreams.

Episode 10/50: Claw of the Wild (B) - The students of Casper High are ending summer with a camping trip in a foggy forest. All seems normal until, one by one, campers go missing. Danny, Tucker, and Sam go investigating and find their ally Wulf, who seems to know something about the disappearances...

Episode 11/51: D-Stabilized (G) - Regarded by most as the final good episode of Danny Phantom. Dani had been on her own in the world since we last left her, but over time, her form has been getting unstable, causing her to be slowly melting into a puddle of ectoplasm. She tries returning to Amity Park to get help, but is now being hunted down by Valerie, who Vlad commissioned so he could melt Dani down and study her remains to make a superior clone. (Valerie thinks he's just going to keep her contained for the safety of Amity Park; she isn't informed of the cloning.) Valerie turns Dani in to Vlad, but Danny manages to form a shaky alliance with Valerie to get Dani back, since Valerie knows that Dani is half human.

Episode 12/52-13:53: Phantom Planet (R) - The only reason this is here is because the comic continues from where this episode left off. If it didn't, I'd suggest ignoring it entirely. Rapid-fire summary: an asteroid is about to hit Earth, Vlad reveals himself to the world and demands unquestioning rule over Earth (and one trillion dollars or something) in exchange for turning the asteroid intangible. Vlad can't turn it intangible since it's made of Ectoranium, an anti-ghost substance we never hear of until now. Jack leaves Vlad in outer space. Danny gets every ghost he knows to help him turn Earth intangible, it works somehow, and Danny reveals his secret identity to the world. Statues of Danny are built all over the world, Sam and Danny start dating, and Tucker becomes mayor of Amity Park. A bunch of other stuff happens too but it's all stupid. Valerie gets thrown into a dumpster on live TV and that's her only appearance besides clapping for Danny at the end. I'm still mad. Don't watch Phantom Planet.

The Comics

Book 1: A Glitch in Time (G) - Danny's life is perfect: his secret identity is out, and the world accepts him not just as a part of it, but as its savior. His parents and former bullies fight on his side now, he's in a committed relationship with Sam, and Amity Park seems to be at peace. There's just one problem: his powers are getting weaker by the day. Unbeknownst to him, there's another problem in progress: Dan Phantom, the evil future Danny from The Ultimate Enemy, is released and fuses with Clockwork, causing present Danny and those near him to experience unstable glitches in time. Vlad returns to warn Danny of the threat of Dan, and they all team up to venture into the depths of the Ghost Zone to find a way to stop Dan and get Danny back to full strength. Meanwhile, Jazz and Valerie hold down the fort at Amity Park, holding Dan off for as long as they can while the trio and Vlad search for answers.

What are your favourite non country songs?

If copyright laws didn’t exist what music would you use for your videos?

Anything by the Crane Wives, but if that's too close to country, then IAMX is my favorite artist. The Stupid, the Proud would be a great song for certain videos! Death Wish by Jason Isbell and the 400 units is forever paired to my trip to Japan last year. Destroyer of Worlds by Coyote Kid. Fucking Depressed by Bad Daughter. It was very hard to find non country, I want you to know I made a real effort here!

But honestly, I'd probably send up using Vivaldi's four seasons, or Fur Elise as background music. I enjoy classics (somehow having to write essays on these for college didn't make me hate them). If I wasn't talking, maybe Frank Sinatra, or other classics from that era. I just find 30's- 50's jazz to be very charming.

Also! I see you liking and reblogging things... Are you irish?

[mypoisonedvine]

4 and 29!!! :D

4. what are you looking forward to?

right now, eating something after i finish frantically writing all these dope requests haha

29. favourite film(s)

so so many!!! but three of my faves are all that jazz (1979), ladies in lavender, and destroyer!

[kobol1]

Jazz's ring pinged with a message from her brother, and a holographic projection from her ring showed the two Infinite Realms Green Lanterns Danny and Vakta flying to the rendezvous point to meet up with the other Lanterns.

She had a pit of nervousness in her stomach like something dark was just beyond the horizon.

They are flying into unknown darkness, beyond any known region of the Realms to find the Light that will push back the Destroyer to the tear in reality, and end the darkest night.

Cassandra Jenkins — My Light My Destroyer (Dead Oceans)

By all accounts, the gestation of My Light My Destroyer, Cassandra Jenkins’ third full length recording, was fraught. In 2022, a nasty case of Covid forced her to leave a tour midstream and quarantine in a hotel room. It yielded the demo for “Aurora, Il.,” a slow song with an indelible arrangement that builds to a roar from multi-tracked electric guitars but keeps understated vocals throughout. It feels like the usurping nature of the disease meets its victim, weakened but undaunted.

“Devotion” opens with acoustic guitar, harmonica, and vibraphone accompanying Jenkins’ sultry alto voice. The feel may be laidback, but the lyric is anything but; the first sentence sets the tone, “I think you’ve mistaken my desperation for devotion,” and later, “Don’t mistake my breaking open for being broken.” Despite the powerful statements made by Jenkins, a subdued arrangement persists, and finally a soft trumpet plays a syncopated riff that serves as the song’s coda.

“Clams Casino” is an obscure dish both to Jenkins and the character in her song who orders it at the hotel bar; they seem to order it to find out what it is. The joke is in the midst of a song about loneliness, exemplified by the torn suit Jenkins wears in the video and the repeated refrain, “I don’t wanna laugh alone anymore.” It is being given the single treatment, and one can well hear why; the compelling lyrics are buoyed by exuberant electric guitar and a tight rhythm section. “Delphinium Blue” has a prominent bass guitar line, loping drums, and a high vocalized synth patch accompanying Jenkins’  melodious verse vocal and spoken word chorus. The song is about a game of phone tag, with Jenkins taking the role of the woman at work who picks up a voicemail at the end of an extra shift. Is it a character study, or an implicit critique of who needs to work harder in a relationship?

“Petco” is another song about loneliness, with the refrain “I’m trying to be less alone,” serving as a mantra for the protagonist, who visits the pet store just to wander the aisles and be among people. The topic is circumvented by a testy guitar riff and rollicking solo that suggest indomitability amidst uncertainty.

“Omakase” features the album title, “My Light My Destroyer,” as a lyric that is sung and, between choruses, spoken as if it is a poem. Jenkins sings in a higher register, still with a detachment that suggests surrender. After all, the words, “Pull me apart, put me back together again,” could easily be set with a scream. Jenkins prefers to intone the important things, like the way a lover can change you, in a soft voice. “Tape and Tissue” has an elliptical lyric and ornate arrangement, with multiple keyboards - acoustic piano, electric piano, and jazz organ as well as a guitar harmonics solo on the bridge, in subtle yet intricate layering.

The incorporation of spoken word and field recordings has become nearly de rigueur in rock circles. “Shatner’s Theme” is a brief combination of cricket chirps and a UFO landing with an angular whistling tune. There is nothing commonplace about the dialogue in “Betelgeuse,” in which Cassandra’s mom talks to her about celestial bodies during their adventure looking at the night sky through a telescope. It is accompanied by piano and saxophone and needs no singing to express its touching nature.

The last song on My Light My Destroyer is “Only One,” in which the desire for a particular partner causes distress and hope in equal measure, a juxtaposition that expresses the recording’s overarching conflict. A brief instrumental, “Hayley,” (a respelling of her previous hit) for sustained strings with a bit of electronic treatment, is an enigmatic minor key closer. Seldom does a pop album abandon the voice of its protagonist at its close, but Jenkins seems quite content to leave the frame when other elements are expressive in their own right.

My Light My Destroyer is a transformational record for Jenkins. However daunting the path forward may seem, she has a lot to say as she overcomes successive challenges. Let's hope that her next recording doesn’t require so much suffering in its planning and making.

*·˚✎western south park character designs

^these designs are inspired by rdr2!! because honestly I have been playing rdr2 sooo fucking much, hence Western Park was born -I love rdr2 so much like honestly I’ve never have played a game that had me sob so goddamn much!! and since South Park has talked about this game it’s not completely off topic within the realms of South Park

because even matt and trey know that this game is fucking amazing

—————————————————————————————————————

All right little notes here for the characters

OK so I won’t deny that I took creative liberty from Stan’s many moons design from phone destroyer!

1. Stan: Stan’s main skill to the group is that he’s very good at hunting and tracking, Stan is still friends with Kyle but gets annoyed with him sometimes due to Kyle snob attitude. Stan’s age:19

2. Kyle: honestly just really wanted to draw a very pompous little rich boy for Kylte because honestly I think dude looks cool and gold But I did keep his hat for his Gunslinger design on phone destroyer:

-and I’m not saying Kyle’s a little pompous rich boy I just thought it be funny you know given that he’s running with outlaws in the wild fucking west. as well as The idea of Kyle dressing and any expensive clothes that he owns then bitching about any form of dirt getting on said close. and just simply missing The entirety of the concept of roughing it, such as like tents and camps so on so on..there’s dirt there’s bugs “shocker” like BROo is just there for fun, like robbing trains and banks it’s like a fucking fun little Day for him.

Kylte’s age: 21

3. Kenny: he is a “prostitute”/crossdresser take The wording prostitute on his character with a grain of salt, because he is not necessarily a prostitute, but let’s just say he wouldn’t shy away for a quick buck.

Kenny’s age: 20

[Eric is a corrupted sheriff]

4. Eric: it’s really self explanatory he’s a corrupted sheriff!

Eric’s age: 23

now going into the RDR idea I decided that Heidi, is technically like the girl on the online version that lives in the forest and yells at you when you kill animals

(Harriet Davenport)

-Harriet Davenport is a naturalist and preservationist. She states that she has spent three years in the wilderness studying the hidden interconnection between animals of all species.

5. Heidi: all right obviously there’s more to that but I thought that would be funny to start it off that Way anyways so she is in the group mainly just analyzing animals, yeah very much keeping her hippie attribute’s which obviously that’s not a bad thing people can be pacifist’s!! I’m not making fun of her I cannot stress that enough!!! and also she’s not like over the top my idea for her is that she keeps to herself with her little notepad studying her birds and Deer’s and all that ✨jazz✨

Heidi’s age: 18

if people actually like this I might draw the next character sheet☝️😭

MASSIVE INFODUMP ABOUT THE CQ TRIO (Fresh, Geno, and Error) UNDER THE CUT!

i love them sm (some stuff might be wrong this is all from memory)

okay so the cq trio is 3 sanses that i adore to the maxium. CQ stands for Crayon Queen, who was the one who created all three! cq trio gets its nickname mainly from her, but i also call them that because of a fancomic called mcq (momma cq) that had them all as brothers, since they are all from the same creator. Fresh was the first to be made iirc, and he was created as a random one on a stream cq did. His nickname is also 90s piece of trash! He is not technically a sans, just a parasite that possesses other monsters, though it prefers skeletons bcs he can crawl thru their sockets, so they are easier to posses (this also allows for so many fusions of fresh and others, like fresh ink! who i hate (lovingly). Geno n error are the other 2, and are entirely linked. Geno was a classic sans who went through a ton of genocide runs, and in tryinf to stop them injected himself with determination ( which is. very bad for monsters.) he basically starts melting and gets killed again but. is able to use a save star to enter the save screen. freezing him in time so hes stuck between dying and not. He has an entire comic (search up aftertale if u wanna read ut which i highly recommend i love it sm) but he basically has 3 main outcomes; the common one in fanon but also in canon ending, where hes stuck in the save screen forever, the good ending which is the comics canon end, where he escapes the savescreen without dying and gets to live on the surface eith the rest of the undertale cast. and the half official canon ending? (i say half bcs it was never fully realized but. was confirmed to be going to happen by cq) where he does escape to the surface but messes around with his determination, accidently sending himself to the antivoid, where he glitches out, which wipes out his entire memory. WHICH BRINGS US THE 3RD BOY AND MY FAV FOR THE LONGEST (jazz hands),,,,, ERROR!!!!

Although his comic was never finished, cq confirmed he was intended to be geno in the past, though he doesnt remember it! He lives in the save screen and answes the voices (tumblr blog asks) to talk! hes. kinda insane but in a silly way! and is the self proclaimed destroyer of worlds! who assigned him this job? why, himself of coarse! and he is providing the multiverse with a great love by doing this (no he is not). hes self centered, has really bad mood swings, sees and hears things others cant (though they are real, others just cant see them), dissociates whenever he talks on certain things, and is overall! not okay! i love him so fucking much holy shit. so he has his own tumblr ask thing (which theres like an hour long dub on yt if u wanna watch it) but basically what it mostly shows is, he loves chocolate (he eats it with the wrapper on. he also has. 6 tongues? iirc) he also loves puppets! and makes puppets of different au sanses! and talks to them as if they are. people. mayber they are! idk! although he destroys aus he has a soft spot for 2, outertale because he loves the space and the stars, and undernovela, his favourite spanish soap opera au! (he does not speak spanish. nore does he get subtitles. hes quite literally stalking these people through portals and calling it a show.) he also has magic strings! which he uses to take the human souls from aus he destroys so they cant reset. he didnt always have them though :)

but he doesnt remember that! hes so so silly i lvoe him so much.

oh also he kidnapped and underswap sans and forced him to stay in the antivoid and the blue, kinda started to befriend him? but uh. he mad error mad so error left him alone in the void until blue started to glitch and hear the voices as well. though he still cant see the random tumblr blogger error left tied up in the antivoid, so who knows if thats real. but enough about blue!!! we jsut love the silly man error!!!!!!!

so blue tried to teavh him how to knit while they were in the antivoid, but erros really bad at it,, like really really reallyyyyy bad at it. and he despises it. but!!! its how they start bonding!!! he also loves loves loves to rob underfell because they have amazing spicy chocolate. he also just enjoys fucking with this one underfell sans by stealing his stuff and using his au as a trash dump! said sans is not aware of this and is confused about who tf is stealing his stuff and throwing trash at him. MORE FUN ERROR FACTS!!!! He also is very near sighted (like me :3) and has glasses tho he doesnt wear them much but hes so cute in them!! he also physically glitches out like a computer when stressed or emotion or just. sometimes- and his eyes get covered by errors meanign he can't see at all, during that he liked to play one man blind cats cradle! he also if he gets too stressed or glitched he will literally crashed and have to reboot- he also has haphephobia (fear of touch) n does not like being touched a lot or without warning, it makes him all glitchy as well! hes also a massive hypocrite constantly and is genuinely just. insane- but in a silly way!!!! its also heavily implied that his puppets are. the dead souls of ppl from aus, minus his sans classic, he doesnt destroy classic (aka undertale) timelines bcs its the original! but he calls the rest abominations (like underfell is abomination #13). its heavily implied bcs he called the blue he kidnapped (thats still alive. for now-) abomination #11 ! he also talked to his puppets like they are other people although he voices them- he also uses portals in a way to show past events to show his memories(?)(they are his memories but he. doesnt remember them. if that makes sense.) ALSO WITH HIS STRINGS!! IF HE GRABS THE SOULS OF LIVING BEINGS (LIKE BLUE) HE CAN PUPPETEER THEM AND USE THEIR BODY AND MAGIC TO ATTACK! WHICH IS. TERRIFYING!! Hes also like. deathly afraid of Fresh n despises him with his whole soul

i love the man baby so much

On October 9 1921 tragedy struck when the SS Rowan sank off the Rhinns of Galloway with 34 deaths.

The steamship Rowan, on a voyage from Glasgow to Dublin sank after collisions with two ships off Corsewall Point. She collided with the American steamship West Camak, and immediately afterwards with the steamship Clan Malcolm.

The Rowan, under Captain Donald Brown, was held to blame for the first collision because of her speed in fog and failure to sound her whistle. For the second collision she was held one third responsible because of her failure to sound her whistle as a vessel stopped in water, a decision that seems harsh given the short time after the first collision, and Captain Brown’s immediate concern for preserving lives, which helped save some 70 people.

The tragedy hit the headlines in the US as among those lost on the Rowan were many members of the African American jazz band the Southern Syncopated Orchestra the "pop stars" of their day. Survivors were rescued by Clan Malcolm, West Camak, and the Royal Navy destroyer HMS Wrestler.

On 14th October the Theatre Royal in Glasgow held a “Special matinee in aid of the surviving members of the Orchestra who lost nine of their members. Despite the loss of lives, the orchestra would go on to complete its delayed dates in Ireland, but they disbanded soon afterwards.

Pics are the ship, a picture of the sinking of the SS ‘Rowan’ which appeared in the Italian newspaper ‘La Domenica del Corriere’ and the Southern Syncopated Orchestra

I really enjoy the different core gimmicks of Majoliné as a character.

It’s basically „jazz singer, witch, ruthless general, world destroyer” on top of her being a protective mom type. It’s fascinating to see which parts different artists and creators focus on.

rating every song called "Destroyer" on how much they destroy

MAXIMUM DESTRUCTION SCORE IS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FIVE STARS

Parkway Drive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4_MKjqAPJI starts underwhelming but bursts into a swinging chorus. not bad DESTRUCTION LEVEL: ⭐⭐⭐

Of Monsters & Men: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGPexohZm_0 this is a slow one and slow ones have a low chance of causing destruction. this starts out SLOW slow and gets louder. DESTRUCTION LEVEL: ⭐

My Chemical Romance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGi7Uk7ikgY This song is actually called "DESTROYA" but will be counted anyway. this is one of their poppiest. I saw these guys live last year so you know I love em but this song is low on the destruction scale. DESTRUCTION LEVEL: ⭐

Skillet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocexxOxylzA I know I'm BIASED against skillet but I had no idea they had a song called "destroyer" when I started this list I swear to god. anyway this song has the lyrics "destroy all the lies" and "it's time for war, war" and "you'll never crucify me" which are just in the top 10 worst things to hear a christian say DESTRUCTION LEVEL: 0%

The Kinks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh9q3nqVnlM reading the wikipedia page for this song as I listen to it and it mentions it uses the riff from the band's previous hit "all the day and all of the night" and it mentions this about 10 times and to be fair "YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN" because it does. this song also mentions "Lola" from the kink's other hit song "Lola" only gendering her correctly this time so I must score the kinks up for this one. apart from that I found it frustrating to listen to this re-hash. the wikipedia page contains this sentence: "Record World said that it's "perhaps the first heavy metal rap song" and uses "the basic riff from 'All Day and All of the Night.'"" thanks. one complete lie and one absolute truth DESTRUCTION LEVEL: ⭐⭐

Static-X: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=198XlUmVWwg what can I say I love Static-X. big fan of their sound. listening to this one again it's not actually one of their heaviest. well! well I think it's a 3-star level of destruction DESTRUCTION LEVEL: ⭐⭐⭐

Saint Motel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QpOcVQu3gM never heard of these guys before in my life. this track comes in strong with a electro jazz riff. the vast majority of the song is far more chilled out. DESTRUCTION LEVEL: ⭐

Twisted Sister: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YelFoNWYv_Y kind of have a lot of respect for these guys what with the gender-bending glam. this one has the deepest vocals I've heard from dee snider I think. strained and belting over a riff. the riff on the other hands, is slow-heavy rather than fast-heavy which does NOT score it down, but it is repetitive DESTRUCTION LEVEL: ⭐⭐⭐

Enforcer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4785h6JSqNc enforcer go fucking hard and some of their songs could easily get 5 stars on this if they were called "destroyer" instead. the song of theirs called "destroyer" goes hard too in fact, just not max hard. its fast-paced tripping-over-themselves drumbeats, however, are tempered a bit by a slower breakdown for its central chorus. gotta hand it to em though DESTRUCTION LEVEL: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A follow up from this post.

The opening for an imaginary tv show on the 'Lackadaisy in OTL WW2 AU' is based on the opening for the Documentary series Five Came Back.

By order of appearance (background music instrument, all have the same leitmotif and pace):

Rocky (buzzer)

Freckle (snare and trumpet)

Ivy (jazz band)

Zib (foghorn and klaxon)

Savoys (wild and rapid strings)

Mordecai (typewriter and sounds of paper ruffling)

Viktor (truck and misc vehicle noises)

Mitzi (microphone and clapping echo)

Script

FADE IN:

(BEGIN OPENING SEQUENCE)

INT. BOMBER BAY - NIGHT

We see a buzzer flashing red and slowly PULL BACK. Our point-of-view switches to look down from the ceiling of a dark bomber aircraft's bomb bay in monochrome. A feline silhouette watches from the controls in a dramatic pose as bombs stream down from above down into the light-dotted earth below.

Clouds of flak begin bursting in streams rising closer and closer upwards in quick succession.

EXT. FOREST BATTLEFIELD - NIGHT

A explosion blows dust about; and clears to a feline soldier behind some sandbags. A snare drum beats at the rate of bullets whizzing by his position as he makes a sturdier grip on his machine gun. He unleashes a hail of fire towards the unseen enemy; the vibrations dislodges a small book from his clothes onto the ground.

The pages open to a diary with a photo of a female feline with a youthful smile.

INT. DANCE HALL - NIGHT

The photo transitions to the girl in a dancer's outfit, performing alongside human dancers and singers while cheers chant out from the audience (some are soldiers) while cameramen record the stage. The band's jazz begin to echo as camera flashes brighten into a blinding white.

EXT. ATLANTIC OCEAN - NOON

We come to a spotlight which turns away to stare at the cold, grey ocean underneath a dull ceiling of clouds. A horn announces the reveal of a destroyer riding through turbulent waves. We pass the length of the ship to the stern as it drops depth charges to the sound of wailing klaxons.

We CUT TO a rugged-looking naval officer watching the plumes of detonations from the previous ship create shockwaves in the sea. He holds onto the handrails lazily as water splashes in front of him and barely makes a difference in his already dirty-looking fur.

EXT. BRIDGE CROSSING - NIGHT

Water burst up and down like an animal flailing in pain as a bridge collapses from continuous explosions. Two figures bump into each other in celebration and dash away from the scene.

CAMERA RISES to a birds-eye view of the carnage as rapid strings ascend our view until the image turns into an aerial photograph.

INT. INTELLIGENCE PROCESSING ROOM - DAY

We rise from the image to a table of similar images, to a war room filled with drafts of codes and messages.

We focus on a black-furred intelligence officer professionally operating a typewriter with an open file with many notes stacked up next to him. We see him releasing the finished document from the typewriter and holds it up.

EXT. LOGISTICS STOP - EVENING

The same document is handed to a massive, tiger-like feline in uniform who directs away the presenting soldier with a wave of his forearm still clenching the document. His other arm is carrying a crate over his shoulder as he barks something out to his men. Vehicles begin to be loaded and moved out as chanting begins non-diegetically. Our CAMERA moves to face the unit's military insignia.

INT. CONGRESS CENTRAL HALL - DAY

We see that same insignia posted onto the speaker's podium. The speaker introduces a glamourously dressed feline to the podium. We CUT TO a wider shot of the hall showing her and her associates as the majority of the only felines in the human majority building.

Pitchfork Annual Tippmix 2022

Ahogyan az már régi hagyomány, dallista után, albumlista előtt szánt szándékkal eltalálom a könnyen belőhető, pontosan mégsem meghatározható év végi picsfork top 10-et.

Még sose sikerült 10/10-re (a top 10-ben lévő lemezeket kell eltalálni, nem a pontos helyezéseket), mert bármennyire is kiszámítható az internetek zenemagazinja, azért mindig van egy kis csavar. 

Idén a tavalyi gyalázatos lemaradásom (lemezhallgatás, zenei világ követés, tippelési hatékonyság) után némileg jobban képben vagyok, de önmagamhoz képest messze nem annyira, mint jellemzően az elmúlt két évtizedben. Az azért nem egyedi eset, hogy felkészületlenül, kissé váratlanul ér, hogy jaj, itt a kislemezlista, tippelni kell, valahogy mindig ráérzek és pont megnézem az oldalt még éppen időben. De hát nagy a rutin, tényleg régi hagyomány ez, 16. éve próbálkozom a telitalálattal (a vb-n eddig hétnél járok).

A lista:

1. Sudan Archives: Natural Brown Prom Queen  2. Beyoncé: Renaissance  3. Big Thief: Dragon New  4. Alvvays: Blue Rev  5. Beth Orton: Weather Alive  6. The Smile: A Light  7. Destroyer: Labyrinthis  8. Special Interest: Dragon New  9. Rosalia: Motomami 10. Jockstrap: I Love You

7/10-zel tök elégedett lennék, de 6/10-nél már szomorú (hatot eltalálni idén nem kunszt, de 2-3 lemez simán felcserélődhet jó pár másikkal).

És bejöhet helyükre mondjuk ezekből valami(k)

Lucretia Dalt: Ay Yaya Bey: Remember  Perfume Genius: Ugly Season Alex G: God Save the Animals 

Dalt igazából tökjó lemezt csinált és sok szól mellette pitchforkosan is, nem értem mért nem azt tettem be - mondjuk a zeitgeist Jockstrap vagy a boomer Smile/Destroyer helyett. Yaya Bey meg olyan, akit csavart labdaként betehetnek simán, sőt nem is lenne meglepő. Az igazi csavart labda persze az lesz, ha nem bírják ki Kendrick nélkül, nem lennék túlzottan meglepve. 

A tavalyi év nemcsak a távolról nekifutásom miatt volt nehéz tippelés szempontból, de a Pitchfork is sokat változott, még az elmúlt évek változásaihoz képest is. És ez idén is igaz volt, az újabb 90-es évtized listáról is leszűrhető az irány, de egyúttal kissé ismét kiszámíthatóbbnak gondolom. Erős a stábban a soulpopr&b-rajongás, tudod, hogy mikor volt tini a szerkesztőség magva, van kvóta, a csavar meg a szeretet valami kisebb nemzet zenéje felé. Folytatódott a nagyon jellemző tendencia, hogy 9.0 felett nem volt lemezértékelésük idén sem, viszont 8.5 feletti a tavalyi 6 db után idén legalább felkúszott 10 db-ra.

Hogy milyen volt 2022? Nem a magam megközelítése ez, hanem ezé a webzine-é: visszaszorult a forradalmi hiphop (vagyis nincs), a női soul örök és egy kicsit visszajött az indie gitárzene is, de nem a pár éve divatos csajrockerek és brit posztpunkosok módján, hanem kicsit indie-sebben. Vagy persze ki tudja, nem én, boomer vagyok, nem tudom mit hallgatnak a tinik. Vagyis egyik nap pont láttam, ahogy egy On The Low-buliban vokóderezett Backstreet Boyst énekeltek vissza a fiúkák a trapperfiúnak, szóval most azt gondolhatnám, hogy azt, de persze ámerikában már pont nem. Az nyilván nagyon nem újdonság, hogy nincs újdonság, tánczene helyett “elektronika” megy, a jazz csak módjával jön vissza a várt visszarobbanás helyett, az ambient továbbra is röhejesen népszerű, az Injury Reserve meg még páran lezárták a traphiphopot (az meg kínjában drum and bass-es alapokon próbál zakatolni), a történetmesélés helyett a hangulatfestés rulezol (kábé ez egyetlen ami “új” tud lenni örökké, mert/és ha a jelenre jól reflektál), de az idei lehetséges élmezőnyt elnézve zeneileg nincs ötlet, hogy merre tovább popzene, de hisz persze nincs nagyon merre.

Idei fogadalmam, hogy 2019-cel és 2020-szal (pláne 21-gyel, ami még mindig fiókban) ellentétben év végén, vagy na jó, január elején összehozok valami listát, amin az első tíz közelében lesz Beth Orton, az Alvvays, Michael Head, talán Natalie Lafourcade, Sally Shapiro, esetleg Alabaster dePlume, netán a Voice Actor, vagy Sona Jobarteh, és hát az Ali. Vagy ki tudja mi.
