Openly weeping, today. Thank you master Ken Kelly for all the lush worlds you shared with us mere mortals over the years.

Destroyer Tour

Maple Leaf Gardens - Toronto, Ontario, Canada

“The dry, acrid smell of sulphur filled Maple Leaf Gardens last night as sparklers, torches and almost anything else that would burn were hurled at KIϟϟ, the band on stage. This wasn’t an act of hostility on the part of the nearly 10,000 people in the audience, one of the largest crowds ever to fill the Garden’s concert-bowl set-up. It was just in the swing of things. From the moment KIϟϟ started they began blasting back at the crowd. It became an unfair fight, though. The band’s arsenal included just about every noise-making and flame-throwing device this side of Cape Kennedy… It would all have seemed simply silly, if not downright stupid, hand not so many chanting, fist-waving fans taken it so frighteningly seriously” (Toronto Star, 4/27/76).

Oh don't mind me I'm just thinking about how fake KISS fans will shit on Paul all day and then turn around and be like "Destroyer is the best KISS album, no question about it, not a bad song on the whole thing" and it's like

Come on.

Lean in real close so you can hear me.

Yeah ok that's good right there.

PAUL WROTE OVER HALF OF THAT ALBUM. YOU CANNOT SAY HE'S A BAD MUSICIAN OR THAT ACE WAS THE MUSICAL BACKBONE AND THEN ONLY BE SATISFIED WITH SOMETHING THAT IS MOSTLY PAUL'S WORK.

This post is relating to the thoughts that @laurencezvahlslefteyebrow, @xerith-42 and I have been discussing. Somehow the brain rot has progressed to me completely losing my shit.

okayokayokay

We were talking about what would happen to Shadow Knights if Shad were defeated and he died. And I have sososo many thoughts.

But this ones a bit hard to explain.

Shad's presence is necessary for Shadow Knights to exist. His being is what keeps them in motion, so in turn, you'd think the Shadow Knights would die once Shad does.

I know @xerith-42 was thinking the difference would be between Premature SKs and Full ones. However, I think it's more dependent on how the SK was formed.

I think Shad's control is necessary for undead shadow knights. His spirit has to be around for Undead SKs to be "alive," seeing as he literally has to revive them. If Shad dies; and his spirit is gone, the undead shadow knights finally get to pass on. I think it would be more of a relief, even to those like Gene. Especially to those like Gene. He barely has any autonomy left, so once Shad is gone, he can finally think for himself, even if it's in some world beyond.

This is all different for transformed/living SKs. They are still alive, and still have life energy. Shad is only a part of them, not their entire being. So, once Shad is gone, they aren't shadow knights anymore. However, they aren't human. They are... something else. Something more empty. To be transformed, something is ripped from their soul, and replaced with something from Shad. So, when Shad is gone, that part of them is gone, and it's not replaced with anything.

So, Living SKs survive once Shad is gone, but they almost transform into something else. Something we haven't seen before. I'm not sure what that is yet. I really want opinions on what this would look like, especially in Laurance.

Council, your thoughts?
