Alan Ursillo (the actor who plays Papa Nihil) on The Accent 🗣️

INTERVIEWER: The accent– was that your choice? Was that Tobias? Where did that accent come from? 'Cause it's distinctive; it's perfect. People try to mimic it all the time, the "Seestor", you know, kind of thing. It's adorable. […] ALAN URSILLO: Yes, that's an accent that was given to me to do. So uh, you know, I– there was a lot of guys who interviewed for this. And when they came to me to say "Will you interview for a band and be this character?", I said "Sure." And they said "Well here's the accent you need to do." And I said "OK." And they said "OK, can you do it in Latin?" And so I said "Sure." I'm raised Catholic, so the Latin was easy. So you know, here I am doing my Latin-Transylvania accent. And they went, "You're in." Clergy Talk Podcast interview with Alan Ursillo (Papa Nihil) (July 5, 2024)

HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THAT THE SHADE THAT ZARGOTHRAX SUMMONS TO ATTACK AND BAIT ANGUS II...

...LOOKS LIKE, IF NOT HIS OWN FATHER OR DUNDAX, AT LEAST SOME SORT OF MCFIFE.

WOWZA. I CLEARLY WASN'T THE ONLY PERSON WHO DECIDED THAT ANGUS II IS HAUNTED BY HIS ANCESTORS.

I loaned my sister my copy of The Final Empire and she has apparently started reading it because she just texted me that she is imagining Kelsier as Ryan Reynolds and I suppose that is a choice one can make

She's just at the part where they're first talking with Yeden and I am very happy to see this all unfold through her eyes

Okay so, I attended a VERY local event where Falk was a speaker. By very local I mean there were maybe 20 people ins refurbished bar and he just hung out with us after the Q&A

Things that he mentioned in no particular order:

- PW didn't have a crew on tour until around 2008 and it didn't include a sound tech, that came way later

- they used a refurbished truck they bought in ye olden days and one time Matthew said he smelled fire. They told him it was his croissant. It was not his croissant.

- Falk is the organizer and logistics guy for the tour because (my interpretation) he can't stand not knowing if everything is going okay. Including checking the weather constantly during festival season

- he's also super nervous about his keyboards not arriving when they take a flight. Apparently they have been hidden to prank him before.

- the band knows exactly how to push each other's buttons by now and it is being used lmao

- his favorite video shoot was We don't wanna be no saints because his slimy (his words) character was really fun to play and it was a great location

- the tennis video was just a spur of the moment thing. The biggest issue was actually getting a tennis ball because the location is in the middle of nowhere. Roel had to drive to several stores.

- Yes the staff broke, but they fixed it again lmao.

- Falk has murdered at least four harmoniums by now. Most of them were from eBay. One instrument he actually refurbished himself, he showed us photos it was great.

- Also, the guitars in the Sinners of the Seven Seas video were the original stage guitars. They had to have their entire wiring redone after.

- the water corpse pose in Sinners was something he made up because standing in the water, his legs couldn't move the way he wanted them to for his usual poses. Apparently the entire shoot was very physically demanding.

- rain scenes are fine but My Will Be Done was hard because they used water AND wind, and looking chill while being pelted in the face with artificial rain is rough. Also, there were just literally people standing on the sides throwing leaves into the wind for the scene, which is hilarious to me.

- Falk was HORRIBLY seasick during the filming of Sinners. The ship apparently didn't actually move much but the difference in motion patterns to modern ships and the slanted deck was not fun. He was however very appreciative of the ship itself and the crew that worked it.

- Falk forgot the name of Demons are a girl's best friend during the interview lmao

- when i said i liked his tattoos he got excited to show them and seemed almost annoyed that he started so late in life. He's planning a full sleeve apparently (good for him!)

- I was a bit surprised but even when speaking to people who did use heavy dialect, Falk didn't switch from standard German. Some phrases still slipped out certainly and some pronunciation struggles (ch pronounced as sch are an easy tell) but otherwise nope, nothing. I've heard Attila speak more dialect in BtS videos.

- Falk for his perspective on fandom especially in contrast with Ghost and Sleep Token (I answered an ask about that recently) since I was curious if he had an idea why three bands with similar themes have such a different type of fandom around it. His best guess was that Powerwolf are kind of approachable (case in point that I'm writing this) whereas Sleep Token and Tobias from Ghost are more at a distance.

And lastly, not only did I get a picture, I got the title page of my thesis signed (in green marker because I didn't find anything else at my brother's house). And Falk got a copy of my thesis, since he seemed genuinely happy to read it. I really do hope he likes it!

Overall he was an incredibly down to earth, funny, and kind person even four beers in and very very tired. He said bye to us with a hug as well 🥺

Some of the amazing actors at the Dragon Steel Nexus ball

[queen-kassiopeia-the-5th]

Unpopular opinion probably, but yeah... I'm going to pretend Stormlight ended with Oathbringer.

Some storylines were very well excecuted, some rushed. I love Brandon, but I might be not auto-buying all of the cosmere moving forward as I was before, and might focuse more on his standalones and other series. I've read all of cosmere, and now I might be slightly over it. The idea of a mass worlds and planets war is not up my alley, and nor is the more scifi aspect of space tavel and more futuristic technology. Personally not for me.

I think he's a brilliant writer and thinks through his characters and world building lerfectly, but I feel like at some point his books begam feeling repetative in plot points. Both the Lost Metal and WoT felt like rehashes of the ending of the Hero of Ages in various ways. But Hero of Ages felt much more waranted and more satisfying than them.

I loved the progression of Stormlight Archive. It was on the way to become my favorite series. I think about it alot. But RoW and WaT while still having very good parts felt lackluster to me.

Also, if we do get a full on war between cosmere realms, I'm team Scadriel.

Ghost and Powerwolf needed some crossover fanart I figured

[queen-kassiopeia-the-5th]

Powerwolf is just like. Imagine a blood-drinking nun-fucking undead night creature from hell. Who still considers himself Catholic

[queen-kassiopeia-the-5th]

I did some Falk fanart :D

I went to my first Powerwolf concert last month and was very shocked/ Inspired by the performance to 1589 xD

Favorite Video Game Genres of Cosmere Characters

As requested by @thesternest :)

1. Silence

Silence: Don't know why, really, but I like casual games, games that are just like real life. Silence: Something about doing your daily life, but in game form--very relaxing. William Anne: Uh, mama? I think "Silent Hill" is a survival-horror game. Silence: It is? How so?

2. Marasi

Marasi: [Looks around nervously] Marasi: I...well, I like first-person shooters. Marasi: I-I just like to pretend I'm in the Roughs, like Wax! Marasi: I don't want to be Wax in real life or anything, but...it can be fun in a game!

3. Dalinar

Dalinar: In real life, war is a terrible necessity. Dalinar: In games, war is fun. Dalinar: ... Dalinar: I like tactical RPGs.

4. Vin

Vin: Huge fan of platform games. Vin: Jumping from ledge to ledge, controlling my speed and trajectory, occasionally swinging from hooks or managing double jumps... Vin: It's just like moving through the city as a Mistborn! Elend: Your high-score is RIDICULOUS, Vin! Vin: I'm also REALLY good at it.

5. Yumi

Yumi: I wasn't allowed video games for a long time, but now that I can play them... Yumi: [eyes sparking] I've become a HUGE fan of visual novels! Yumi: It's like Seasons of Regret, only *I* can be the one making the choices!

6. Leshwi

Leshwi: Like many Fused and Singers, I find myself quite taken with Rhythm games. Leshwi: Now that it is no longer appropriate for me to fight the Windrunners, I do like to challenge them to Dance Dance Revolution instead. Kaladin: OH COME ON I DEFINITELY HAD THAT Leshwi: I always win.

7. Steris

Steris: I used to think games were a waste of time, but then Wax introduced me to these construction simulators. Steris: My city is a paradise with excellent infrastructure, logical layout, and plenty of greenspace. Wayne: You should try to mod that makes a tsunami hit your city! Steris: Oh please, I beat that mod yesterday on my first try.

8. Navani

Navani: Recently, I've gotten into Tower Defense games. Sibling: I can defend myself, thank you very much.

9. Vivenna

Vivenna: Love a good roguelike. Vivenna: It's something about trying it over and over again until you're perfect. Vivenna: The victory is sooo sweet when you've worked hard to achieve it, dying many times. Siri: Oh me too!! I especially like Hades--the art is AMAZING. Vivenna: (scoffs) You mean a rogue-lite? Siri: I'm telling you--you should try one! Getting powerups in between runs is pretty sweet. Vivenna: Hedging out a difficult victory after hours of blood, sweat and tears is also fun! Siri: If you say so...

10. Lightsong

Lightsong: Soooo addicted to Candy Crush. Lighsong: Can't even tell you why. Llarimar: Perhaps your divine eye is drawn to the bright colors. Lightsong: Whatever makes you feel better, Scoot.

11. Adolin

Adolin: Lately I've become completely engrossed with life simulators. Adolin: I make my character get up, make breakfast, go to work, go on dates, learn the piano... Adolin: WHY IS IT SO ADDICTING?? Shallan: This may be a sign that your actual life is incredibly stressful and the allure of a simple, daily life is drawing you in? Adolin: No, that doesn't sound right... Shallan: You want to date a bisexual vampire? Adolin: ...That could be it.

12. Rlain

Rlain: I'm quite taken with these cozy farming games. Rlain: You just build a nice farm, meet the villagers, explore around. Renarin: Rlain, please, it's been six hours! Rlain: Just one more day...

13. Tress

Tress: I've been enjoying survival games! Tress: It's fun to gather and cook and build a base! Tress: A little bit unrealistic, because the rain doesn't make anything explode, but I guess they wanted to make it easier than real life, not harder.

14. Shallan

Shallan: It has to be MMOs for me. Shallan: I like a game where I can do pretty much anything I want. Shallan: Advance the story, collect every type of mushroom, fill in the whole map... Shallan: Plus, I like leveling every class and giving each one their own outfit and personality. Veil: You named the rogue after me, I see. Shallan: It's a compliment.

15. Kelsier

Kelsier: There's only one type of game for me: and that's a game where the name of the, uh, game is survival. Kelsier: And I especially like it when you have to survive as a team. Kelsier: Especially against great odds--like lots and lots of real-life players. Kelsier: Yup, yup. Kelsier: It's all about Fornite for me.

Novelty Souvenirs You Should Pick Up On Your Next Trip To Scadrial

If Scadrial had a thriving interplanetary tourist economy, I bet they'd sell these novelty souvenirs. So next time you stop by, be sure to pick these up!

1. A Soonie Pup

Of course! Soft and classic--perfect for your kids, your niblings or just for yourself.

2. A Novelty Vial of Metal

They have different vials for each of the Mistings plus a slightly bigger and more expensive one labeled "Mistborn." As you shake your Novelty Coinshot Vial, you feel some doubt as to whether that's really metal or whiskey inside--it kinda looks like colored water and glitter. But hey. You can clip it to your belt and it does make you feel cool.

3. A T-Shirt That Says "I Survived The Pits of Hathsin And All I Got Was This Stupid T-Shirt"

The looks some residents give you make you suspect that this shirt might be in poor taste. Whoops.

4. A Glow-in-the-Dark Mistwraith Window Decal

Perfect for Halloween, you think! It's a Mistwraith window decal, and all of the bones inside the illustration glow green.

5. A Hemalurgy Pincushion

This is DEFINITELY in bad taste, but it makes you laugh. It's a little pincushion shaped like a human and when you stick pins in it, well...hemalurgy.

6. An Ashfall Snow Globe

If you shake it, you can watch the black glittery swirl around the tiny buildings of Luthadel. It's...maybe a little bit depressing actually.

7. Some Mist-lets

They sell Mist-versions of a lot of things--there are Mist-hats, Mist-scarfs, Mist-socks, Mist-jorts...but you kinda like the bracelets (er, Mist-lets) with all of the fun wrist tassels.

8. Feruchemy Earrings

Much like the Novelty Metal Vial, you're not sure these chunky, copper-colored earrings are real copper (you expect not, given the price) but you do think they look cool. And they'd match so well with those feruchemy bracelets over there...

9. A Coffee Mug That Says "I Don't Need a Soother; I Have Coffee."

There's another that says, "I Don't Need a Rioter; I Have Coffee." After some thought, you get the former for your brother.

10. A "Disasters for Dummies" Book

It tells you what to do when faced with various disasters, from being caught in a snowstorm to being caught in a flood to meeting denizens from a previously unknown culture in the south. It says it's written by Steris Harms. You buy two.

[queen-kassiopeia-the-5th]

50 days until Stormlight 5 or whatever
