Hardest shit I ever seen

[honestsister]

Everyone STFU I just thought of this character dynamic

Venti, Kaeya, Furina: *performing the musical 'Workin Boy's*

Arlecchino: :| *polite if confused clapping*

[yurisorcerer]

You find yourself grocery shopping and all of a sudden a french gentleman with a rapier approaches and throws one of his glove at you. "Have at thee" As you look around you, a crowd of eager onlookers have completely surrounded you two in ring made of peoples. What do you do in this situation?

I smirk. He smirks back.

"Pierre." I say. "It's been a long time."

He adjusts his cap with the tip of his sword looking very elegant and french as he does so. This, of course, is Pierre Le Franchgais, the legendary Eiffel Swordsman and one of the 27 Great Sword Lords of Europe. As one of the Great Sword Lords of North America, I am of course unable to decline his challenge, and I raise my arms to the sky, and begin the sacred chant to summon my own sword.

"Ihre Übersetzungssoftware ist nicht korrekt installiert!" I intone, as black rainclouds begin gathering within the grocery store itself, and rain begins to fall, drenching the fresh produce. "Bitte kontaktieren Sie so schnell wie möglich einen Techniker."

In my hand, in a flash of black lightning appears the magical zweihander known as The Owl-Killing Sword, so called for its ability to slay an owl, even if the owl is at rest or sleeping. It is a blade black as the night itself, as tall as I am, and covered in glowing blue runes from a forgotten tongue once spoken by the Headbanger Giants of Nebulous-13.

"The battle is joined." I say to Pierre.

"Hon hon hon." He responds.

We step forward toward each other at almost the exact same moment, a beautifully synchronized dance of singular super-sonic motion---so super-sonic one might mistake either of us for hedgehogs at a glance---and as we pass by each other, one of us cuts the other. For a moment, no one is sure who has cut whom, but in a single midnight-black flash of thunder, and with the sound of a clap of lightning, a massive split opens on Pierre's chest. He coughs up a glob of a deep red substance. Not blood, of course, as a true Frenchman, his bodily fluids are 100% pure wine.

"Sacre bleu." He chokes out. "You have come far from our last bat-tel in the War of le Sun Lords."

I grin. It's cocky and I know it is, but when you've bested a swordsman who challenged you in a single stroke and he doesn't know that you've been fucking his wife on the regular for 3 years, it's hard not to be. Still, better to let the man die with dignity.

"You've improved too, Pierre. Don't be hard on yourself."

The crowd begins to hoot and holler at my display of vast basedness and humility, but then, Pierre grins again.

"Indeed, mademoiselle….I have!"

Suddenly, the gushing wound running up the length of his chest explodes into four nimble tentacles of pure elemental wine-energy.

"Mon dieu!" I exclaim, for there is no other response to such an overwhelming display of Frenchness.

Thinking fast, I parry the first of the wine-tentacles, but a second lashes me on the shoulder as I deflect the third and fourth with my body, diving in front of an innocent bystander who happens to be an almost ontologically sexy older woman. I grin through the pain and she swoons in gratitude.

Turning back to Pierre, I regard him with disgust. "So, you too have sold your soul to Marshall Macron and his Vested Order. What did he offer you? Just this paltry command of wineblood? Did he promise you a share of France once he's fully conquered it? WHAT DROVE YOU DOWN THIS DARK PATH, PIERRE?"

"MON CHERIE....IT WAS YOU!" He points, accusingly, in my direction, both with his finger and with one of the wine-tentacles. "I know that you have slept with Bella-Marie all these years! I know that my child is not my own! What else would drive a man to such depths? You think I care for Monsieur Macron? NON! I care only for your HEAD, on a SILVER PLATTER!"

With fury, he wraps one of his wine-tentacles around his rapier, and wildly hurls it at me. I deflect only barely by invoking my Pennsylvania Dutch Golden Finch Technique---drawing a hex sign in the air to repel the blade---but this leaves him an opening to lunge at me with all four tentacles.

He has me pinned down! I'm on the ropes! But of course, fury is its own weakness, and I invoke the Ancient Southeast Pennsylvania High School Self-Defense Stance, and knee him in the balls, which causes him to reel back in pain.

This opening is enough. I invoke my ancestors; the great Keenich Amos Amos, the witchy swordmistress Lady Iron-fig, and call out to the spirits of the Headbanger Giants of Nebulos-13. I throw my sword; it impales Pierre through the throat and vintage Brunello floods the produce section, mixing with the thund'rous rain. Disgusting; he wasn't even honorable enough to replace his blood with a French wine.

As Pierre lay defeated, many beautiful women in the crowd including but not limited to the one I saved earlier swoon over me. I have defeated one foe, but know many more battles lay ahead....

CONCERT REVIEW: BABYMETAL AND DETHKLOK W/ JASON RICHARDSON AT PNE FORUM - OCTOBER 3, 2023

Starting the night was guitar virtuoso Jason Richardson (All That Remains), taking centre-stage as he showcased his versatility as a guitar player, seamlessly transitioning between heavy riffs and melodic solos. With only backing tracks and lack of a live band, Richardson was truly the main character of his performance. His ability to captivate an audience is truly remarkable with the entire crowd headbanging and moshing in unison. Incorporating elements of rock, metal and djent, Richardson left metalheads itching for more.

With a quick crossover, Dethklok descended upon the stage as the lights dimmed, with metalheads set for a night of unparalleled brutality, humour and musical prowess. Dethklok – known for their adult animated series Metalocalypse – is Brendon Small’s brainchild brought to stage. With the performing band cloaked in shadows, the primary focus was upon the fictional characters of Dethklok which encompassed the giant screen behind them.

Playing songs such as "Murmaider," "Thunderhorse," and "Bloodlines" with interludes featuring in-universe character Facebones put the band’s tongue-in-cheek humour on full display. The band’s interaction with their fictional manager, Charles Foster Offdensen, added an extra layer of comedic brilliance to the show. As the set reached its conclusion, Dethklok left the stage to thunderous applause and a sea of satisfied metalheads – many adorned with corpse paint, eagerly craving for more.

Last but not least to grace the stage of the Forum was BABYMETAL. Hailing from Japan, the trio combine J-Pop and heavy metal into an image which took the world by storm – and consequently delivered a performance that was equal parts adorable and ferocious.

The Kami band, BABYMETAL’s backing band, provided the sonic backdrop for Su-metal, Moametal and recent addition Momometal's performances. Their tight, precise, and technically impressive instrumentation laid the foundation for the band’s unique sound.

One of the highlights of the evening was the choreography and stage production. BABYMETAL’s live shows are known for their elaborate and synchronized dance routines, and this concert was no exception. The contrast between their adorable, almost theatrical moves and the crushing metal riffs create a visual spectacle that is mesmerizing to watch.

The setlist featured a mix of songs from their diverse discography, ranging from catchy pop-metal anthems like "Gimme Chocolate!!" to more progressive collaborations such as "Distortion" featuring Alissa White-Gluz of Arch Enemy, and "METALI!!" featuring Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine.

The trio’s interaction with the audience was heartwarming. They expressed their gratitude in English and engaged with the crowd despite the language barrier. The band’s message of unity and positivity resonated with fans, creating a sense of camaraderie throughout the concert.

All good things come to an end as BABYMETAL closed their set with "Road of Resistance," leaving the venue with deafening cheers and chants for more.

BABYMETAL’s performance in Vancouver was a testament to the band’s ability to blend seemingly disparate musical genres into a cohesive and entertaining performance. Whether you’re a fan of J-Pop, metal, or just appreciate live music as a whole, BABYMETAL’s concert is a unique and captivating experience that transcends boundaries and leaves a lasting impression.

Good morning, I don't even go here but I was at the BC show in Essen last night and I thought you might enjoy this moment I witnessed. So I was over on Olli's side and at one point Aleksi joined him on the pedestal thingy and they bumped into each other, laughed, and spent the next couple beats in synchronized headbanging and it was very cute 💕 I didn't catch it on camera, however I do have this:

Hope it brings you some joy!

Oh shit Sasha on da aux!!!!!!! What will she play????

It's EDM. It's always EDM.

She fucks with most types of EDM but doesn't like dubstep or trap in particular. She just likes to shake her hams and headbang a little. Is that so wrong?? This playlist was particularly easy since earlier this year I started making an EDM playlist on YouTube, so I just pulled from that. A decent amount of this is from my childhood/teenage years when I really discovered EDM

How to Mosh at a Classical Concert

Ever wanted to mosh at a classical concert? Here is a guide how to!
