Seasonal First Impressions: Searching for the Real Monsters in UNDEAD MURDER FARCE

Undead Murder Farce's first episode gives few clues as to what the show might become, but for now, it's gothic and wonderfully theatrical. Maybe that's all it needs to be. --------

Seasonal First Impressions is a column where I detail my thoughts, however brief or long, about a currently-airing anime’s first episode or so. Somewhere in Tokyo, in a version of the 1800s that is not our own, a man in a circus, nicknamed the Oni Slayer, fights one of the last youkai for the entertainment of a screaming crowd. He’s not thrilled about this; all the people in the crowd, and the…

TIME of the SEASON Summer 2023 Edition: UNDEAD Murder FARCE

Whenever I make stuff collaboratively with my fellow parts(ocs, stories, art, ect) it feels like a lifehack into feeling more present and okay

Its almost like.. doing work.. with parts.. helps…. 🤔😳🤯

Incredible things from the london D20 live show in no particular order (straight from memory so may not be totally accurate or have much context at all):

First of all the line up was incredible. Kugrash, Pete, Sundry Sydney, Skip, Fabian and Adaine. What a terrible combination of personalities, it was so funny

Btw everyone looked so good. They looked really good, those fits <3. Murph striped button up/polo? shirt and Lou grandpa sweater you will always be famous

When Siobhan rolled Adaine everyone was so excited. Lou (who had already rolled for Fabian) hugged her, picked her up and spun her around on stage ❤️

Everyone was so excited to have a buddy ❤️

The setting was rolled as a crown of candy, after Brennan literally said “wow we happened to have a few people from the same place, wouldn’t it be hilarious if we got a crown of candy or neverafter or something?”

Everyone arrives and are doing introductions and the first thing Fabian says is “[tearfully] Adaine is that a giant rat?” Cue the whole atrium losing it.

Sydney then proceeds to minor illusion Kugrash as “sexy.” After some deliberation and when prompted by Brennan, Murph decided this means he looks exactly the same except for giant veneers

Beardsley: Can I distract the guard?

Brennan [flabbergasted, as the rest of the party was doing INSANE shit around this]: Sure, the DC is 500.

Beardsley: If I crit will you let it happen

Brennan [indulgently]: sure

Beardsley: [rolls a nat 20]

Brennan: [despair], cast: [running around in circles on stage and jumping], fans: [losing it]

And that’s how they accidentally start a revolt in Candia within minutes of arrival by Pete the Chosen Outsider with the peppermint tooth and prophesied king of candia. But it’s cool because in the next few minutes Kugrash teaches them about democracy.

So many little references to past campaigns and character one liners. Way too many for me to list but the cast was clearly enjoying dropping them

Sundry Sydney hitting King Calroy with 3 grenades ON SIGHT

A Hasted Kugrash doing an opposed athletics against Calroy and Brennan rolls a Nat 1. The dice wanted that motherfucker DEAD.

Kugrash to Calroy: “I eat from the trash, and I’ve never seen a cake as shitty as you!’ And then proceeds to 300-style kick him off the castle wall (as acted out by human man Murph)

Sooo much PVP though really most of that was between Pete and Fabian as they fought over the crown of candia

Sundry Sydney successfully seduced and awakens personhood in Adaine’s identify spell. His name is ANUS now. (Another use…)

Skip is quangled out and replaced by Lapin (played by Zac) and tries to keep the party on track. He fails many times. He takes up smoking from the stress. Adaine does as well.

At some point Pete’s wild magic turns his hands into rock candy, which he uses to deal 2d20 damage to Fabian during a fight

Emily as Sydney, whenever crazy shit happens: this is canon! [raises cannon arm]

All of them (except Pete) have some bad baby milk and do kublacaine. Cue a small detour for more pvp between Pete and Fabian

Arthur Aguefort is released from captivity in a castle full of/made from eggs. He and Lapin may or may not know each other biblically. They met on an app for old magical men, don’t worry about it.

Bill Seacaster is the pirate prince of the dairy lands and has the quangle. They get into his castle with Operation Fancy Perfume Part 2 except Emily rolled a nat 1 for her assist, so first poisonous perfume takes out most of the party and everyone inside the castle. I think Emily may have been crying she was laughing so hard.

They sort of defeat Bill by giving him pleasure putty (which he USES behind a curtain in front of EVERYONE) and then has to go take a nap, so they sneak into the rest of the castle to find the quangle. I am never going to forgive Brennan for making it canon that he goes “yar har har YO HO HO” when he gets off. I WILL NEVER UNHEAR THIS.

Pete Conlan somehow gains the power of flight from Bambi LeRoux (Sydney brought her) singing the Reading Rainbow theme song. He does a flying ribbon dance out the window, where she stops singing and he falls and takes max fall damage. He’s still up, so Fabian jumps out the window with Feather Fall and shoots him with a laser gun until he actually dies lmao. He gets injured too somehow but I forgot how. They both get healed and everyone continues on like nothing happened.

Emily took her dice that rolled a Nat 1, kissed it, and threw it into audience with a cheeky expression. I’m in love with her I fear

The time quangle is an entire pool of lemon yogurt. At the bottom of the pool is a completely naked Gilear Faeth

Kugrash eats all the yogurt despite knowing it will kill him in order to end the quangle. His farewell speech has as a backdrop Gilear’s giant hog (played by Brennan’s arm, as he got out of his chair to stand behind Murph the ENTIRE time he was talking). Kugrash then ascends to the big bodega in the sky.

Sydney also seduces Annabelle Cheddar (EDIT: fuck it was like 12 AM forgive me) Primsy Coldbottle, who is explicitly 29 in this version of time. Both her and Anus join Sydney in returning to AnarchEra. I cannot emphasize enough how horny this live show was

Everyone gets sent back to their respective universes, except Arthur. He’s going to hang out in Candia for a bit to be Lapin’s “roommate.”

Fabian’s last line is that he has to call his banker because he has a new nemesis

Lapin: “That was the worst group of people I have ever met.”

God that was so funny, I really hope these live shows are getting recorded and will be released somewhere later. I need everyone to experience the epic highs and lows of this d20 session.

[sea-buns]

obsessed with zac’s propensity for creating characters that are capable of great violence but often choose kindness instead

In all definitions of a trickster spirit Pib should have been a complete selfish asshole. But instead it was like yeah he lies and steals and cheats to get what he wants but what he wants is to help.

Gorgug giant half-orc barbarian who just wants to make friends and cries when his rage wears off.

Colin Provolone fully made us think he was down for killing whoever he needed to and then It Happened. Turns out he’s actually a sweetheart who spent days tracking down the family of the random dude he killed to just give them something. ANYTHING that might help ease the burden.

May be a bit of a reach but Skip kinda falls into this as well. In the sense that he actually had zero interest in using his host for anything beyond just having a good time. Dude just wanted to chill. Not use the bodies of thousands to destroy an entire planet in a cosmic slug orgy. His kindness is passive and incidental but I’ll still take it lmao.

Do I even need to go over Lapin? Dude died for Candia. I think we’re all familiar with the asshole to martyr pipeline.

Le Chasseur d'Amour Part Four

Summary: Rook x reader. Rook's impatience to see you may not have gone as he'd anticipated...

A/N: my wifi is bad where I am, but I'm super excited to post this, so you can find all the other chapters accurately linked in three before I have a chance to fix it

Chapters: One Two Three Five

In hindsight it wasn't a good plan. In fact, it was probably the worst plan you could have come up with.

The second your foot hit the floor to run, Rook's arms were around your middle. You struggled in his grip, while he patronizingly pet your head, and sang the song, from your previous dream, to you.

"What the fuck!" The blond model hissed. Startled, you looked at him, and saw him clutching his bleeding nose, raw fury clouding his face as a purple aura rose up around him.

"You broke my nose! Do you have any idea what that's going to do to my image?"

"I think you'll be ruggedly handsome with a broken nose," Rook said, as he snuggled into your neck, ignoring your struggles.

Vil growled, eyes flashing. "I didn't ask you for your opinion."

"Let me go!" You finally got the courage to shout, followed by an attempt to bite whatever part of Rook you could reach. "You won't take me again! I'm not going back! You can't make me!"

Rook held still. This scared you more than him caressing you.

"Mon amour," he trailed off, swallowing audibly. "You no longer love me?"

Vil seemed to calm down enough, hearing that. But he was still angry about his nose.

"Aw Rook. I told you this could be a possibility."

Rook's grip tightened on you, before burying his face back in your neck.

"I have never stopped loving you. Ever since you vanished, I've been searching. Why? Why don't you love me?"

"Seriously?" You snapped indignantly. "You kidnapped me and stole four years of my life! Why would I ever love you!"

Rook's grip loosened as he turned to finally look you in the face. God, he was handsome. No wonder your brain decided to love him. But you couldn't let yourself slip back under. You'd worked far too hard.

He and Vil shared a look. One of complete confusion. You had no idea why, but it made you feel nauseous.

"I'm sorry!" Vil spoke up, "kidnapped you? Is there something I'm missing here?"

"No," Rook said, tightening his grip again, this time more of a hug, than a hold. "Normally your jokes amuse me to no end, but this one isn't funny."

"Says the man who tracked me to a cabin I rented, and broke in in the middle of the night!" You shouted, now attempting to kick him in the shins. This had no effect.

"Told you," Vil hissed as he touched his still bleeding nose, looking in his compact mirror.

"Mon lapin, you know me well enough to know that waiting is not-"

You finally got a good angle and kneed him right between his legs. With an "oomph" he dropped you, and you tried to run. You shouldn't have angered Vil. Because something had wrapped around your ankle and yanked you to the ground.

You looked at your foot, and saw a vine with roses wrapping itself around your legs, Vil standing over you, a pen in his hand glowing purple.

"Oh God, oh no, oh God, oh no, oh God," you started hyperventilating. There was no way this was happening. Seeing him had retriggered your delusions. That had to be it. Cause why the hell would a rose vine be wrapping itself around you?

"Mon lapin, you are such a strong little bunny. I've always loved that about you," Rook wheezed as he walked over to your continually tied up form.

"But playtime is over now. It's time to go home."

He pulled something small from his pocket, followed by a glowing purple pen. The small thing grew into a giant mirror, which Vil walked through with a huff. Rook gently picked you up, and walked through before you could even shout a strangled, "No!"

round 1 statistics

hi, gamers! while we wait for the round 2 polls to close, here are some interesting stats and tidbits from round 1 that I noticed :)

total votes: added up, the 52 polls in round 1 had a total of 28,221 votes. holy shit!

largest percentage of votes: sometimes the polls were tight, and other times they were... not. the top 5 most decisive winners were:

Fig Faeth (93.6%)

Kingston Brown (93.2%)

Sofia Lee (90.3%)

Chirp Featherfowl (89.7%)

Pete Conlan (88.8%)

the thinnest margin of victory to eke out a win went to Rue, who beat Amethar Rocks with a slender 52.2% of votes. notably, Rue kept up the trend in round 2, with their even slimmer 50.2% defeat of Gerard of Greenleigh, so it will be interesting to see if they're able to keep clinging on through round 3.

polls with the most votes: some polls really got you fired up, and brought Dimension 20 fans running in droves to vote for their faves...

Lapin Cadbury v Pinocchio with an unparalleled 1,636 votes

Squak Airavis v Kristen Applebees (838 votes)

Sam Nightingale v Colin Provolone (818 votes)

Katja Cleaver v Prince Andhera (767 votes)

Kingston Brown v Gangie Green (718 votes)

... while other polls had less fanfare. polls with the least votes:

Tuti IV v Maggie (347 votes)

Vicar Ian Prescott v Bob (388 votes)

Saccharina Frostwhip v Megan Mirror // Twyla v Marcid the Typhoon (392 votes each)

Bean v Amangeaux Epicée du Peche (409 votes)

Sunny Biscotto v Binx Choppley (416 votes)

it may not surprise anyone to know that it looks like none of the winners of these least-voted-on polls will be advancing to round 3; it seems the passion isn't there for these particular PCs :/

winning PCs with the most individual votes:

Lapin Cadbury (851 votes)

Kingston Brown (669 votes)

Fig Faeth (573 votes)

Evan Kelmp (509 votes)

Kristen Applebees (487 votes)

winning PCs with the least individual votes:

Maggie (255 votes)

Bob (260 votes)

Sam Black (269 votes)

Cody Walsh (274 votes)

Gunnie Miggles-Rashbax (285)

evidently, individual votes accrued in round 1 aren't a great basis for predicting future success - Kelmp was the fourth most-voted for PC in round 1 but won't be making it to round3, and Gunnie was the fifth least-voted for character in round 1 but on track to head into round 3 by a pretty decent margin.

campaign stats:

the most to least successful campaigns, by % of characters that won their round 1 polls:

Fantasy High: 100% (6/6)

Misfits and Magic: 100% (4/4)

A Starstruck Odyssey: 83.3% (5/6)

A Court of Fey and Flowers: 83.3% (5/6)

The Unsleeping City: 77.8% (7/9)

A Crown of Candy: 75% (6/8)*

The Seven: 66.7% (4/6)

Neverafter: 66.7% (4/6)

Mentopolis: 66.7% (4/6)

Burrow's End: 66.7% (4/6)

Coffin Run: 25% (1/4)

Dungeons and Drag Queens: 25% (1/4)

The Ravening War: 20% (1/5)

Escape from the Bloodkeep: 16.7% (1/6)

Pirates of Leviathan: 16.7% (1/6)

Tiny Heist: 0% (0/6)

Mice and Murder: 0% (0/6)

Shriek Week: 0% (0/4)

*ACOC: while Amethar was passes on to round 2 to compete against Pinocchio, he did lose his initial poll against Rue. if we included Amethar as a winner, ACOC would have a considerably higher 87.5% success rate, making it the third most successful campaign overall.

it's definitely interesting to see how the success of various campaigns has changed over round 2! Fantasy High stays strong, while the MisMag crew has been wiped out, and several campaigns have lost all of their remaining PCs. it'll be exciting to see how the numbers look when all of the final votes for round 2 are in.

thank you all so much for playing along with this bracket! I hope you're all still having fun and are getting hype for round three :)

Requested by no one, the idea just came to mind.

Warnings!: Mentions of body mutilation, mentions of broken ribcage, mentions of blood, mentions of tearing off vocal cords, Rook being creepy, Rook being a masochist, Rook being himself, unhealthy obsessive beheavior.

My Dearest, Trickstar.

I assume you're wondering why i've sent you yet another latter, after all you did rip the other ones to shreds. Which i must say, the burning blaze of your hatred warmed my aching heart, positively so! Althought these tears you shed last night after you had just craddled Monsieur Fuzzball to his slumber were quite touching, were you upset at my latest latter placement? If it's a yes, i do beg your forgiveness mon lapin. I suppose that i should be more mindful of my actions in the future, but rest assured, I've risked your bed stand off from my dairy as a suitable option!

Oh dear, it seems i've been getting quite side tracked, did i not? My deepest apologizes. But back to the reason why i sent you this latter... Well, it is quite obvious! I'm absolutely and madly inlove with you! J'taime Mon Chou!

You're the apple of my eye, the blood that pumps in my vains and the air that floods my longs. Without you, i am nothing. I wish to marry you, i wish to embrace you in the dark of the night, for you to wrap your fingers around my neck and tear off my vocal cords with your bloodied nails so i'll never be able to profess to another. I wish you to tear my chest open, and i'll of course help you keep the wound open with my hands and crack my ribcage bones in pieces so you'll be able to gaze upon my heart as it pulses. The heart that only beats for you, and only you Mon Canard. Would you smile? Would you gaze upon me with the same love i carry for you as you craddle my cold corpse? While my eyes get clouded and stuck staring at you for eternity? I wonder.

By your darling admirer, Le chasseur d’amour.

Big trend in America right now. Huge, huge trend. Buying broken cars from Japan, and registering them in the States. Of course, we here in Canada have been doing this for years, ever since those cars turned fifteen and became legal for import. Australians, Kiwis? Even longer than that, they just reach out and pluck Skylines off the vine like tomatoes. Together, we depleted the inventory of old cars, crashed ‘em, cut them up, you name it. Now there’s not very many left, and the Americans are responding to it by forking over six-figure cheques for a 240SX with the steering wheel on the wrong side.

This was really funny, right up until I realized that the purchase price of a 1985 Subaru Leone at the Japanese used-car auctions would now go from about $600 to nearly $800. I don’t have that kind of money, and even if I did, I wouldn’t have enough left over after shipping to slam in some un-bent pushrods and a nitrous system. Panicking, I did consider buying some freshly-legalized cars a decade ahead of the Americans, but those too are expensive, bought for thousands of dollars and hoarded in warehouses in Saitama. Ridiculous!

There was just one thing to do. The cheapest way to get these cars would be to move to Japan, where I could conceivably “import” brand new cars, right off the dealer lot. So I ordered a refrigerator from Amazon Japan, stuck myself in the box, and then filled out a return authorization form. Soon, I was off to the Home Islands, entirely on Uncle Jeff’s dime. Sure, it wasn’t a particularly comfortable ride, but I was warmed on that bumpy old cargo ship and jostly old forklift at the docks by the knowledge that I would soon be getting a great deal on a Suzuki Lapin.

As I stepped foot into the dealership, I suddenly realized what I was doing. A new car? Buying one? For money? The salespeople, unaccustomed to seeing a man who had spent the last three months reading a dog-eared copy of a late-1992 edition of Road & Track Magazine while stuck in a refrigerator box without food or water, called the police, and I was summarily deported.

It wasn’t all bad, though. The pigs were driving a five-year-old Toyota Crown. I told them to let me know when the department got rid of it; the puke-proof rear seats seemed like the perfect place to put a leaking transmission from the Pick & Pull.

Thank you so much you're such a shiny heart!! o(〒﹏〒)o Can I request my Oc Wen x Huntsman headcanons please? If is it possible of course ♡

Tags: SFW, MLW, OC x Canon, Headcanons, LMK, Angst towards the end

Pairing: Wen x Huntsman A/N: Ofc Chipi anything for you!!!

I imagine these two work on their hunting skills together by going out into the forest and playing a bit of hide and seek to see who can stay hidden the longest

Huntsman's pretty good at tracking Wen's scent, though she does steadily improve over time, he prides himself on always finding her

Huntsman tried to learn Lapine so he could better communicate with Wen, but it's just led to new ways of him cussing out Syntax without Syntax knowing what the hell he's saying

Wen thinks Huntsman's an absolute dork but y'know what? He's her dork!

We already know Syntax and Huntsman are competitive but when Wen's around Huntsman just automatically starts shit just to prove that he's better

Huntsman's bragging about a new rifle he got and Syntax just looks over and goes "Those aren't clips those are mags" (/ref)

Again, Wen thinks it's hilarious b/c Huntsman's HER dork :3

Huntsman probably hunts for Wen around the winter months since he knows that rabbits don't hibernate but do get more sleepy and need more food

He also makes blanket nests to snuggle with her just how rabbits do when they share burrows in the winter for extra warmth

I like to think somewhere in the wild they have a cave together. Huntsman found it one day and used it to store some extra gear, then Wen began digging it out to have a few little tunnels, but as the months go by they began enlargening it together so it's their little getaway now

I wonder if Wen goes there after the events of Season 3. I wonder if she grieves. I wonder if she can still detect Huntsman's old scent. I wonder if it's too painful to go back there and she considers closing in the tunnels but she just can't

She can't let go of this last tangible remainder of his existence and what they shared together

I wonder if Wen wandered into those woods, with the world around her devoid of all color, and I wonder if she curled up in one of the burrows they shared. I wonder if she cries for him.

ok so hear me out// ur dating thom and he takes u home to meet his family but say like his dad doesnt like you and hes like talking to thom abt it in french but u know french and thom knows u know so hes trying to get his dad to stop but his dad doesnt know u know french//

that was not explained well and my fingers are too cold to type with sorry

Omg yes I love this sorry about your fingers 

Mentions of swearing, body shames also used google translate 

“Babe stop being nervous” thom spoke to you as you put your suitcase in the back of the car 

You are meeting his whole family, you had met his sister and mom but not his dad or other family members 

As you both got in the car them had his hand on your thigh gently rubbing small circles 

“Y/n” you hear Jade yell as she ran up to give you a hug “umm im here” thom spoke offended his sister ran to you first 

Soon you all made it inside, you got introduced to most people 

As you were walking from outside where everyone else was, you made your way to the kitchen to get a drink 

But you were stopped in your tracks when you heard “elle est un peu sur le côté positif” she is a bit on the plus side  a strong male voice which didn’t sound like thom

You had a small look to see who it was, turns out it was Thoms dad 

“connaît-elle même le hockey ou est-elle un lapin de rondelle” does she even know hockey or is she a puck bunny 

"Fils, tu pourrais faire tellement mieux qu'elle, ne te contente pas d'elle" son you could do so much better then her, dont settle for her it was like a knife getting stabbed into you

“Dad shut up” thom seethed, but the damage was done you had tears falling freely down your face 

You went back outside pretending you never were inside “hey hun you okay” Chantal whispered rubbing your back 

“Yeah just a little overwhelmed” you hiccupped wiping your tears “jade go get thom” soon thom appeared in front of you 

He scooped you up in his arms and took you to his childhood room to talk and settle what ever it is upsetting you 

“You heard didn’t you” thom sadly looked at you as more tears poured out your eyes you nodded your head not having the voice to speak 

Thom pulled you closer holding you tightly, there was a knock on the door that pulled you and thom out of the bauble you created 

“We are having dinner but if you both what to stay In here that is okay” Chantal spoke as you hide your face in the crook of Thoms neck 

After a couple of minutes you spoke “I want to go home” you pulled away from the comfort of thom and looked at him 

“If you want to go home you can, I’ll book you a plane ticket for you and me” you looked at him shocked “babe stay with your family” 

“No y/n I really don’t want to be around my dad seeing as he hurt you” you couldn’t argue with him and soon started packing the small amount you took out 

“Its going to be okay” you made your way downstairs with you back pack and suitcase 

“Chantal thank you for inviting me, Mr Bordeleau if you’re going to talk shit about me do it in a language I don’t know” you smirk as his face dropped Chantal and jade both got up from the table to hug you and apologise 

Soon you are bords were on a flight home

Porsche 928 

Slumping sales of the 911 in the mid-1970s seemed to confirm that the model was approaching the end of its economic life cycle. Fuhrmann envisioned the new range-topping grand tourer model as being the best possible combination of a sports coupé and a luxury sedan. This would set it apart from the 911, with its relatively spartan interior and true sports car performance. The targets were that the car had to compete on par with offerings from Mercedes-Benz and BMW while also being successful in the United States, Porsche's main market at the time.

Several drivetrain layouts were considered during early development, including rear- and mid-engine, but most were dismissed because of technical and legislative difficulties. Having the engine, transmission, catalytic converter(s) and exhaust all cramped into a small rear engine bay made emission and noise control difficult which were the problems Porsche had with the 911. After deciding that the mid-engine layout did not allow enough room in the passenger compartment, a front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout was chosen

The finished car debuted at the 1977 Geneva Motor Show before going on sale later that year as a 1978 model. Although it won early acclaim for its comfort, power and futuristic design, sales were slow. Base prices were much higher than that of the previous range-topping 911 model and the 928's front-engined, water-cooled design alienated many Porsche purists.

The 928 featured a large, front-mounted and water-cooled V8 engine driving the rear wheels. Originally displacing 4.5 L and featuring a single overhead camshaft design, it was rated at 219 hp (163 kW; 222 PS) for the North American market and 240 PS (177 kW; 237 hp) in other markets. Porsche upgraded the engine from mechanical to electronic fuel injection in 1980 for US models, although power remained the same. This design marked a major change in direction for Porsche (started with the introduction of the 924 in 1976), whose cars had until then used only rear- or mid-mounted air-cooled flat engines with four or six cylinders.

Porsche utilised a transaxle in the 928 to help achieve 50/50 front/rear weight distribution, aiding the car's balance. Although it weighed more than the difficult-to-handle 911, its more neutral weight balance and higher power output gave it similar performance on the track. The 928 was regarded as the more relaxing car to drive at the time. It came with either a five-speed dog leg manual transmission, or a Mercedes-Benz-derived automatic transmission, originally with three speeds, with four-speed from 1983 in North America and 1984 in other markets. For the first generation cars, 1978 & 1979, the majority of cars were fitted with the less expensive 5 speed manual gearbox while the optional 3 speed automatic was much scarcer. As the model years continued, this ratio evened out and then finally more cars had the automatic transmission. The exact percentage of manual and automatic gearbox cars for the entire production run is not known.

The body, styled by Wolfgang Möbius under the guidance of Anatole Lapine, was mainly galvanized steel, but the doors, front wing, front fenders, and hood were made of aluminium to save weight. It had a substantial luggage area accessed via a large hatchback. Newly developed polyurethane elastic bumpers were integrated into the nose and tail and covered in body-coloured plastic; an unusual feature for the time that aided the car visually and reduced its drag. Another unusual feature was the pop-up headlamps which were based on the units found on the Lamborghini Miura and were integrated into the front wings.
