On the evasive Basque accent

We all know by now that the legend saying Basque is almost an impossible language to learn is nothing but Basquephobic propaganda. Euskara, just like any other language, may have tricky parts but all languages can be learnt.

One of the silent, trickiest sides of Basque though is its accent and intonation. It flows naturally for Basque people - even the ones that grew up speaking only in Spanish and then learn Basque - but is pretty tough to understand for students from outside EH.

Most languages have a single dominant syllabe and fixed rules for stress but this does not happen in Basque. Linguist Antonio Tovar figured this out already in the 50s: "The Indo-European and Semitic idea that every word has an accent does not seem to apply to Basque."

In fact, Basque accent looks quite different from Indo-European and Semitic languages. According to the Hyman classification, these are the locations of stress:

[+1] dominant inital stress (~114 of the studied languages) or prototone, include Chechen, Gegorgian, Czech, Latvian, Serbo-Croatian, Irish, German, Dutch, Suomi, Estonian or Hungarian.

[-1] dominant final stress (97 of the studied languages) or oxitone, include Armenian, Kurdish, Farsi, French, Hebrew or Ainu.

[-2] dominant penultimate stress (77 of the studied languages) or paroxitone, include Quechua, Aimara, Breton, Polish, Romanian, Protuguese or Spanish.

[+2] second syllabe dominant stress (12 of the studied languages) include Dakota, Tsakhur or Mongolian. Following Basque linguist Koldo Mitxelena's theories, Basque belongs to this group, the only European language!

For example:

Beriain = be-riAin, while Spanish-speaking students tend to say be-ria-In. debekatuta = de-bE-katu-tA, while Spanish-speaking students tend to read de-be-ka-TU-ta. aireportua = ai-rE-por-tu-A, and not ai-re-por-TU-a. zitzaidalako = zi-tzAI-dalako, and not zi-tzai-da-lA-ko.

Although debatable, many linguists agree that even though phonology changes over time, in words of linguist Steve Peter "there is no, at present, any theory of accentual change in the way there's a theory of phonological change". Accent may be even a part of an ancient substrate, like linguist Navarro Tomás wrote: "On my side I noticed the possibility of assuming the same kinship among the most peculiar characteristics of Aragonese and Basque intonation."

Linguist Álvarez Enparantza "Txillardegi" thought that if ancient Basque followed the stressed and non-stressed syllabe pattern our vowel system would be different, and that this very simple vowel system is better explained assuming that ancient Basque was a tonal language. This theory may also explain the dancing accent - and even double-accented words - of Euskara.

OKAY GUYS

so. you know how a lot of people hc about the gotham accent in general dc media? well i always love this hc because accents are just so cool to me. so hear me out (this post is specific to the gotham tv show universe but can be generalized to any universe a cataclysm/No Man's Land event has occured)

earlier i was on tiktok and i found a video talking about the human tendency to create accents over time. (the video talked about how friend groups and families create accents/dialects which is?? so cool?? but i digress)

anyway, this led me to learn about a study about a group of scientists living in antarctica and how, over the period of just one winter, their vowel sounds had begun to merge together to create the beginnings of an accent. so now, i'll relate this to the cataclysm event.

to cause this event, during which gothamites are cut off in basically every way from the outside world, the bridges around gotham are bombed and destroyed (at least in the gotham tv universe). in this same universe, the time in which they are completely undisturbed (besides one guy communicating over a radio to one lady) is 97 days (over 3 months), at which time a military strike force (kinda. they're evil) is sent in to basically kill all of the criminals there. however, these people really only communicate limitedly with police, gang leaders, and like one time with bruce wayne. but that's about it. reunification with the outside world only began after day 391. that's over an entire year of near-complete separation from the outside world.

now, they already started off most likely having some kind of accent, especially noticeable in the people who lived primarily in the city. (even if the accent isn't particularly strong/differentiated at the time.) however, now they've spent an entire year together, alone in a big city. this has the makings of a stronger accent (at least for those who were stranded in gotham when this event occurred).

one of the important things to keep in mind when considering accents/dialects is the use of specialized vocabulary words, and lemme tell ya, gotham 100% has that. even excluding all of the names they have for people and the general gang info these people have, they still have multiple different terms for parts of town (ex: the financial district = penguin's territory, etc. with the other gangs in power at the time). on top of even this, the amount of stuff that just casually goes on in gotham is seen to completely flabbergast outsiders all the time. they likely have slang that is used to refer to various things the rogues do, or things about violence, gang wars, rations, barracks, etc. there is SO MUCH opportunity for an accent to originate here??

of course, once the events of No Man's Land end and reunification happens, a ton of gothamites who weren't there during it move back in and the accent is dispersed among the population. it likely is in part shared and, over time, becomes part of common vernacular, and, in part, deteriorates, especially regarding things that are no longer as common in the distant future (ex. referring to the financial district as penguin's terf 10 years after this happens would be a bit odd). however, i do believe that this would create a lasting impact on the overall population of gotham, even if only minorly.

(to those of you who keep up with my de-aged!gotham bruce au, this is going to be featured in some of the up-and-coming chapters (slang that feels off to others, weird references, a stronger accent, if only slightly, etc.). if you have any ideas or thoughts on this topic feel free to chime in!!! i love chatting and some help brainstorming on this would be appreciated <33)

Enjoy!

Corroded Coffin shows were all about the experience.

Eddie had made that a non-negotiable once they had some kind of say in where and how they performed.

"Everyone's coming for the music man," Jeff would always argue. "Wasn't that Bev's whole deal with the Hideout. People are coming for a place to sit and a beer, they didn't need any of the flashiness. We want them to enjoy our sound."

"We want them," Eddie softly grabbed Jeff by the shoulders and squeezed, "to keep coming to see us."

It took them a while to figure out what that experience looked like though.

They tried quite a bit of everything.

Eddie procured a fog machine for some of their early performances, but they quickly realized how bad the fog juice was for the vocals. And if they were in a small venue? All bets were off.

Then they coerced Dustin and Lucas into hooking them up with fireworks.

"I don't think these are the kind of pyrotechnics you should have on stage guys," Lucas worried as they set up.

"It'll be fine," Gareth, ever the hype man, encouraged them. "It's only a little 4th of July fest, who's gonna complain about fireworks?"

It was, indeed, fine. But as for complaints about fireworks? Well, the chief of the Muncie Fire Department had a few choice words for them and they were banned from performing there ever again.

"It's Indiana," Dave complained. "Who would've thought that we'd get in trouble for fireworks here of all places."

They had it down after a few years; they didn't necessarily need to pull out the big guns for every show. They needed to pick their battles.

Metal covers of Christmas Carols mixed into their set list for December shows.

Group costumes and a confetti canon loaded with fun size candy for shows on Halloween--and they always had shows on Halloween.

And their magnum opus? Their piece de resistance? Their tour de france--

"I don't think that means what you think it means Ed."

--would be Friday the 13th.

Just like Halloween they always made sure they had a show on Friday the 13th, whether they were just doing something local or it was a stop on their tour. It became a big deal, a spectacle. Packed events, special merch just for the day, a themed drink if they were having some secret show at a club.

And the shows were always wild.

“How’s everyone doing tonight?” Eddie asked as he hauled a theremin out from wings of the stage in ‘92, to a chorus of oohs and ahhs. “Oh this? My sweetheart deserves a night off.”

Dave performed on stilts in ‘95. Did he end up breaking a leg because of it? Yeah but it was worth it.

Gareth decided in ‘97 that the drums just weren’t for him. So he constructed a series of Rube Goldberg machines that would play percussion for him with each song of their set. That left him free to mingle with fans in the pit all night.

“You enjoying your night off Gare?” His band mates asked intermittently all night.

And in ‘98? Well that was a special year with a whopping three Friday the 13ths. It had to be some kind of record--turns out it wasn't--but Jeff decided that they would attempt to break a world record at each show.

And they did.

Dave, ever the midwesterner, broke the world record for Fastest Beer Drinker at their February 13th show. 3 pints in 6 seconds.

"But did it have to be Miller?" he belched out to the uproarious applause and laughter in the audience once all was said and done.

Gareth took the next one home at the March 13th show. A table, a timer, and a stack of cups.

"I read about this sport-stacking thing in some magazine," he told their audience as he prepared himself. "Turns out I'm actually pretty good at it."

For their last attempt at a world record, Eddie and Jeff agreed, it had to be about the music.

"We're a band, we can't be known for most cigarettes smoked in a minute," Eddie huffed.

So on November 13th, they planned not one, not two, but 55 "concerts" in and around Chicago.

The timing had to be perfect, their equipment easy to load and unload, and 3 teams of people traveling around the city to help them.

"Did you know," Jeff said nerdily, "in medieval Europe they did something like this for tours too. A team of servants to take care of them at their current stop, a team at the last destination deconstructing their camp, and then a team at the next destination building one?"

"Are you calling us Music Royalty Jeff?" Dave teased, standing tall and proud.

Their sold out "Friday the 13th Tour" started promptly at 8am at WGN Studios where they started everyone's Friday with a metal rendition of the Chicago's Very Own jingle and taught Larry Potash how to headbang.

They performed, got their picture taken, and had a few slices of pizza at Pizano's around lunchtime.

"Are we halfway there yet?" Gareth groaned as they climbed into the van.

"We're not even at 25," Eddie dreaded as he turned the key in the ignition.

Some of their "shows" were negligible. A crowd of 15 fans inside of a coffee shop, or the one they had right at the entrance of a grocery store, where the ticket also got them a bag of tv dinners. But according to the Record Official that traveled with them all day, they all counted.

An introduction, ticket sales, a song performed, and a crowd. No matter how long or short the concerts were.

And by the end of the night, their actual concert at the UIC Pavillion, the guys were exhausted.

But it felt great to play their first song to a thunderous round of applause, and then for the Official to bring their record out on stage to present to them.

I can't believe the US let someone this stupid become the first femal VP.

https://twitter.com/TheTNHoller/status/1747676577251377524?t=uYGwC5lNsanNULeo6HM2iQ&s=19

She doesn't want to go back to Oct 7? Ok, let's go back to 2021 in Sheikh Jarrah. Or 2014. Or 1967. Or 1948. Or any day of 2023 between Jan 1 and Oct 6, which was already the dealiest year for Palestinan children. No one talks about how Isfullofshit broke ceasefires during all those incidents. When Palestinians fight back, suddenly we can't go back.

Kamala... you're just as heinous as every other western/world leader, diplomat, and politician, and every person who calls this a war -its a genocide.

"Too many innocent Palestinians have been killed"... 30,000 and more have been brutally bombed and slaughtered. 1/4 people in Gaza are STARVING. Are being shot at for trying to get food. The entire medical complex has collapsed. 97% of water in Gaza isn't drinkable. Palestinian people have been suffering for decades (as you noted powerfully -it has never ended), and when Palestinians resist, it's seen/depicted as terrorism.

I'm beyond embarrassed for her. I used to hold respect for her in so many ways too -especially when she was one of the only one's who stood firm about CONDEMNING* Biden for his rape 'allegations' until he made her VP.

Thank you for alerting me about her new interview here. I hope those Gen Z’s she said she "loves so much" vote for Claudia De La Cruz and Karina Garcia. These empires need to fall.

[autumnalfallingleaves]

Question, in the first few chapters on WondLa, before Rovee gave Eva the translator, were you able to decode what Besteel and Rovee were saying? I’m still having a hard time trying to figure out what they’re saying. Still wondering what Shee-na means.

*spreads arms dramatically* My time has come.

Lmao. I love conlangs, so I've definitely tried to translate the non-human dialogue a couple times over the years, so I'll give it my best shot!

First, I think "shee-na" probably means "quiet" or a variation thereof, given that Rovender makes a shushing motion when saying that. As for book dialogue:

"'Ovanda say tateel?'" (pg. 69, Rovender)

Likely "What are you doing?" I'd be inclined to translate as "Who/what are you?" instead if not for the fact that Rovender says this same thing to Eva when she's hiding under Otto on pg. 94. They're sort of familiar with each other at this point, so it doesn't make any sense to ask who she is again.

"'Daff effu Cærulean?'" (pg. 77, Besteel)

Possibly something along the lines of a snarky greeting, or "What are you doing, Cærulean?", or even "We meet again, Cærulean?". From context clues, I'd say Besteel and Rovender have crossed paths before (they seem slightly familiar with each other; Besteel knows Rovender by name) and have a history of not liking the other/Rovender keeps messing with Besteel. This is also why I'd posit a snarky greeting.

"'Tuda neem,'" (pg. 82, Besteel)

"Don't worry," meant in an extremely worrying fashion.

"'Kap und gabbo.... Ta, broog iffa yu nabba,'" (pg. 83, Besteel)

Context seems to suggest "ta" is "yes" in the common Orbonian language. The whole thing is perhaps "You can't escape [or you are scared].... Yes, you will be perfect [or: you will live]," possibly as a reference to his mission to capture specimans to free Redimus.

"'Oeeah. Te banga nee peezil,'" (pg. 83, Rovender)

"Oeeah" is an exclamation, so has no translation. Possibly "see what he's doing there"?

"'Dot, dat.'" (pg. 83, Rovender)

"Stop, no." "Dat" appears to be "no".

"'Peesa van shuuzu,'" (pg. 84, Rovender)

"Going up is the only way out"; "peesa" is "up".

"'Ta! Ta! [...] Peesa.'" (pg. 84, Rovender)

"Yes! Yes! [...] Up."

"'Pra! Dooma boffa!'" (pg. 85, Besteel)

"Back! Stupid animal!" (translation note: what an asshole)

"'Dat, dat, dat. [...] Te,'" (pg. 85, Rovender)

"No, no, no. [...] There,'"

"'Tasha, zaata,'" (pg. 87, Rovender)

"Alright, go,"; "zaata" is "go".

"'Bluh, sizzu feezi,'" (pg. 88, Rovender)

"Bluh" is an exclamation and has no translation. "Feezi" means "nymph"; this seems to be a word Orbonians-- or at least Cæruleans and/or Halcyonus-- use for children. Eva is referred to as "the nymph" and-- I believe-- "the nymph of the forest" and, in the 200 years later epilogue, the language blend of English and the common Orbonian language gives us "'Feezi, known as Eva'", providing a direct translation. This whole phrase, then, could be "Bluh, ridiculous nymph."

"'Feezi meed! [...] Ya battee meer de hagrim Ruzender. Wha seesha?'" (pg. 88, Besteel)

"The nymph is gone! [...] You're to blame for this, Rovender. Where is she?"

"'Grazeet! [...] Zaata! Zaata! Zaata!'" (pg. 90, Rovender)

"Move! [...] Go! Go! Go!"

"'Nassa Ruzender Keet!'" (pg. 92, Besteel)

"Goddamn [or Orbonian equivalent curse word] Rovender Kitt!"

"'Tista baffa fooh!'" (pg. 94, Besteel)

"Get back here!"

"'Gabu Baasteel!'" (pg. 94, Rovender)

"[insert Orbonian curse word] Besteel!"

"'Feezi! [...] Zaata! Zaata!'" (pg. 96, Rovender)

"Nymph! [...] Go! Go!"

"'Dat, dat, dat, [...] Feezi zaata. [...] Ruzender zaata.'" (pg. 96, Rovender)

"No, no, no. [...] Nymph go. [...] Rovender go." Sentence and grammatical structure are likely heavily simplified due to neither of them being able to understand one another and Rovender being like "what is the most simple thing this weird kid could understand"

"'Grasset de fugill Ruzender!'" (pg. 97, Besteel)

"You're dead, Rovender!"

"'Ewa seetha tadasha,'" (pg. 99, Rovender)

"That was exciting," said by someone who wishes this never happened.

"'Ta! Feezi!'" (pg. 99, Rovender)

"Yes! Nymph!"

"'Zuzu, zuzu,'" (pg. 100, Rovender)

"Wait, wait,"

"'Kip! Kip!'" (pg. 100, Rovender)

"Talk! Talk!" The transcoder later has Rovender say "Tes, continue kipping" as it calibrates, so "kip" is probably "talk".

"'Dat, dat, dat, feezi, [...] Doot, doot, ba kip!'" (pg. 100, Rovender)

"No, no, no, nymph, [...] Closer, closer, and talk!"

"'Dat, [...] Peesa tobondi feezi, ta kipli.'" (pg. 101, Rovender)

"No, [...] Keep it up close, nymph, and talk."

"'Zazig. I try to peebla foo,'" (pg. 101, Rovender)

"Sort of. I try to make it easier,"

"'If you do, [...] you hret graaveem my speech.'" (pg. 102, Rovender)

"If you do, [...] you understand my speech."

I think that's all the Orbonian language we get; I hope this helps! :)

Eurovision 2024: #18

18. SAN MARINO Megara - "11:11" 33rd place

Decade Ranking: 66/153 [Above Aiko, below Hooverphonic]

Soy "Otra Gente".

Yes, ~Megara & Aiko~ back-to-back as a tribute to the blossoming new relationship. (how cute that these are the two LAST EVER entrants for both of those countries ♥). Star-crossed pansexuals forever tethered side-by-side in this ranked afterlife. THIS is how you do serendipitous running orders, Christer, fucking take notes. (Another fragment of my neurodivergent soul destoyed when he decided to put Megara 10th in the r/o and make 11:11 the 12th overall song to be performed that night).

But Aiko and Megara also represent the duality of modern day NQs. While Aiko delivered a good vocal, glammed-up to a 7.5/10 and still died (lol though luck fighting those bookmakers, girl), Kenzie delivered an ABSOLUTELY ROTTEN VOCAL, downgraded to a 7.5/10 and logically died because it's San Fucking Marino. 😍

Like, idk how to break it to you, but for once, San Marino actually earned the Ironic Standom label. Let's start with the fact that they're repped by my fave act from last year's Benifest with a song about how unfairly robbed "Arcadia" was. ♥

M E

P E L A

M E P E L A

Y si tú no me quieres otra gente me quierian

This year's line-up was so up my alley even the fanfiction was fucking me-coded.

And a fanfic it fucking was because in order to rep Scam Marino, Megara had to beat the following at Una Voce:

Jalisse, Italy's 97's reps (and erstwhile BubbleFaves) who TVSM found in a dusty retirement home somewhere in Italy, recruited as a Big Name, and who reportedly stormed out of the venue as soon as they were eliminated by the jury. (😍)

David Bowie's former flame Dana Gillespie, who sang an AI-written composition about climate change called "The last polar bear" (sample lyrics:" I'm just a polar bear trying to survive :old:" // "Is there someone out there who has mercy on a polar bear?" :old:) (and they HAD to admit this in the final because Una Voce's main sponsor was the company that wrote the AI script which composed the song lmfaooo ♥)

Nusa Derenda's son, who was part of a three-himbot boyband and was absolutely HORRIBLE (the other two did ALL of the lifting ♥), only for them to be completely omited from the first recap of the night (WILL THE BULLYING OF SLOVENIA EVER END?!)

Loredana Bertè, Mia Martini's estranged blue-haired sister who crossed over from San Remo for the sole purpose of terrorizing her ex-husband Björn Borg, and performed in her usual style: dressed as a schoolgirl (she's over 70 btw), hands in her pockets, fully disassociated, sounding like she was halfway through her fourth bottle of Disaronno.

How is ANY of this a waking reality?! Megara beating Loredana last-minute was the icing on the cake because while the notion of Pazza is funny enough (it rhymes "artifice" with "toothpaste" <3), Megara at least had... a concept? an Idea? A song?

And then we got to the contest itself. The preview comes in and has THE EXACT SAME IMPACT ON ME as Bambie's did in the first semi - STOP ALL THE PRESSES, I WANT TO SEE THIS IN FULL IDGAF ABOUT ANY OF THE OTHERS OR MY PERSONAL HEALTH AND RESPONSIBLIITIES!!!! you know, the usual hinged eurofan stuff.

When we finally got to the full live omg ♥ A fantastic act completely PULVERIZED into death by Kenzie's inability to perform ♥ From actually WALKING OFF THE SCREEN

to having her own small Emily Roberts moment in the second chorus

Shittastic. it worked because, thankfully, the song WAS fodder to begin with (no losses there) and the staging -conceptually at least- was visionary. This is probably the best San Marino have ever staged.

The delectable Dias De Muertos flamengo break ♥

the haphazard trigger happy hazbin hotel fuschia fiesta freakshow aesthetics ♥

the silly overlays that actually WORKED BETTER THAN LUX'S ♥

THE DEMON RABBIT INTO DEMON CORPSES DANCERS ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

This (metaphorical) shit was masterfully staged and Kenzy still served LOOKS AND ENERGY despite failing at everything else.

If you're going to be hopeless, then be hilariously bad at giving hope, is what I say.

11:11 was pure chaos on a black-and-pink demon barber pole, which for experimental art rock serving as a middle finger to Spain's lack of taste, is a pretty good medium of expression. The way Megara were guaranteed double digit points because the Mericones (this year's honorary name for Cigarillos/Spanish Fags btw..x) were casting votes in this semi (♥) allowed them to give zero fucks. ♥

Of course, if Megara (and specifically Kenzie) had been in any way competent, then 11:11 could have qualified with that act, and that would have been ICONIC. But they weren't and we missed out on another SF2 epic turnaround, which is probably why I'm not ranking them amongst the very good entries this year. (also, if I did I'd be compelled to rank 'em 11th and LOL @ bumping Aiko up to 12th place). I'm accepting of 11:11's shortcomings, but also acknowledge that it has them. The quality standards were surprisingly high this year, and I enjoy the remaining entries sufficiently that I don't need to cling to Megara as hard as I normally would. Fun filler it is, and that's the perfect endpoint for San Marino's journey.

THE RANKING

The promise of Ease

***QURAN***

Allah’s promise is ˹always˺ true. And whose word is more truthful than Allah’s? [4:122]

So, surely with hardship comes ease. [94:5]

Surely with ˹that˺ hardship comes ˹more˺ ease. [94:6]

After hardship, Allah will bring about ease. [65:7]

And whoever is mindful of Allah, He will make a way out for them [65:2]

and provide for them from sources they could never imagine. [65:3]

And whoever is mindful of Allah, He will make their matters easy for them. [65:4]

Indeed, Allah’s help is ˹always˺ near. [2:214]

Allah intends ease for you, not hardship [2:185]

Or ˹ask them,˺ “Who responds to the distressed when they cry to Him, relieving ˹their˺ affliction [27:62]

When My servants ask you ˹O Prophet˺ about Me: I am truly near. I respond to one’s prayer when they call upon Me. [2:186]

“My Lord! I am truly in ˹desperate˺ need of whatever provision You may have in store for me.”

[28:24]

Whoever does good, whether male or female, and is a believer, We will surely bless them with a good life [16:97]

And (remember) when your Lord proclaimed: “If you give thanks (by accepting Faith and worshipping none but Allah), I will give you more (of My Blessings) [14:7]

Therefore remember Me (by praying, glorifying, etc.). I will remember you. [2:152]

***SCHOLARS***

Ibn al-'Uthaymeen.

{So verily, with the hardship, there is relief} ~Surah Ash-Sharh, 94:5

"This statement is news from who? From Allaah, And His news is the truest news and His Promise is never broken. So every time things become difficult for you, wait for the relief. Every time things become difficult for you, wait for the relief."

[tafseer surah ash-sharh]

Ibn al-‘Uthaymeen.

The test gets harder when the relief is close

Ibn Rajab.

Waiting for relief (from hardship) is worship, for verily the trials don't last forever."

Ibn Al Qayyim.

O you who are patient! Bear a little more, just a little more remains.

Ibn Al Qayyim.

From the perfection of Allah’s ihsan is that He allows His slave to taste the bitterness of the break before the sweetness of the mend. So He does not break his believing slave, except to mend him. And He does not withhold from him, except to give him. And He does not test him (with hardship), except to cure him.

Ibn Al Qayyim.

If Allah didn’t want to accept your dua, he would not have guided you to make the dua in the first place.

Imam 'Abdur-Rahmăn As-Sa'di.

{With hardship comes ease} 94:5

"(This contains] great glad tidings that whenever hardship and difficulty exist, then indeed, ease accompanies and is associated with it. Even if hardship enters a mastigure's hole, ease will enter upon it and drive it out. Just as Alläh, the Most High, said: {Allah will grant after hardship, ease. And as the Prophet said: 'Indeed, relief is with distress, and with the hardship, there is relief."

Shaykh Saleh al Fawzan.

Whoever is afflicted with a hardship, then ease is near. It comes with it…One hardship comes with two eases and one hardship will never overcome two eases.

Ibn Kathir.

(Allah will grant after hardship, ease.) This is a sure promise from Him, and indeed, Allah's promises are true and He never breaks them.

Ibn Kathir.

So just as there is hardship, its equal of relief will soon arrive

Imam Al-Shafi’i.

The dua made during tahajjud is like an arrow that does not miss its target

Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA).

I am not worried about whether my dua will be responded to, but rather I am worried about whether I will be able to make dua or not. So if I have been guided (by Allah) then (I know) that the response will come with it).

The Ultimate Rockstar Test

This week: Joey Jordison, Slipknot/Murderdolls

Bands like to think they’re badass, but who’s truly the most rock’n’roll of them all? We test them and find out who’s top of the class for chaos!

Words: John Longbottom

(drive link)(Wednesday's Rockstar Test)

Have you ever broken an instrument in anger? “Absolutely! One time was when I was playing with the Murderdolls in Glasgow. We got to the end of Let’s Go To War and my guitar was short-circuiting, so I took it off and I smashed it really hard on the floor and then picked it up and threw it across the stage. The neck snapped off as soon as it landed and I immediately just thought, ‘Fuck, I really wish I hadn’t done that!’ My guitar tech ended up fixing the fucker for me, so it all ended up okay!” Bet it looked cool at the time, though. You owe your tech some crisps. Pass ✔

What’s been your most diva-ish rider request? “Slipknot try to keep our tour riders to a minimum. Most bands ask for complete shit and then they don’t even use half of it. Here’s what a band wants; they want booze, tea, water and enough food to feed everybody. That’s basically it. Slipknot always asks for loads of disinfectant for our overalls. All the sweat combines when you’re playing and sometimes if we have two shows back to back we can’t get them cleaned properly, so we have to wear our sweaty suits from the night before. It’s fucking gross climbing back into those things sometimes, I can tell you! Oh yeah, and we need wet wipes to get all of the greasepaint off our faces.” We were expecting some goat heads on the rider. But wet wipes? Fail ✘

Have you ever had a run-in with the law? “Let’s just say I shouldn’t have been driving. I went to jail for the night. I do regret it but everybody has to go to jail at least once in their lives! Honestly, I can’t remember much about it, I was too fucked-up to remember anything! That made the whole situation a lot easier, I guess.” If you shouldn’t have been driving, the police were right. Fail ✘

When was the last time you threw a punch? “A while ago. I used to be a bit of a fighter in the early Slipknot days; we all did! We’d get in big fights with other bands. In 1995-’97 we were basically in an all-out war with everybody – that whole time in our lives we were all fucking crazy. We’d play shows and drink and get in fights – we didn’t take shit from anybody and we still don’t. Looking back on that whole era, I just can’t believe some of the fights we used to get into!” Now that’s more like what we wanted. Pass ✔

Have you ever trashed a hotel room? “No! I don’t do that kind of shit; it’s childish. I think most people just do it to say that they’ve done it. I don’t need to do that – I’m respectful. It’s peoples’ jobs to take care of that stuff, to clean up those hotel rooms. I’m not juvenile enough to just fuck their day up just for the sake of it!” Ooh, I’m in the world’s scariest band and I’m really considerate. Fail ✘

What’s been the most extravagant thing you’ve ever bought? “That would definitely have to be my house. It’s in Des Moines, Iowa, and it’s a very nice house – not a completely crazy mansion like some MTV Cribs shit, but a very sweet house. It looks very proper from the outside, but inside it’s very gothic-looking. You walk in the front door and you’re in a fucking different dimension. You could be out in the blazing sunlight, but step into my house and close the door behind you and you’re in the chamber. You won’t even know what time it is in there – I don’t have any clocks in my house! There are cobwebs painted on the walls – it’s very, very cool.” We think that’s, ahem, time for another pass, then ✔

Joey scored 75% Something is very, very wrong here. We once saw the Slipknot drummer do a toilet on the street outside his bus to prove how rock’n’roll he was. That version of Joey Jordison must have been taking the day off, because this is a pretty disappointing score. He’s better – or at least, more unhinged – than this.

2013 Leaderboard ↑Perry Farrell, Jane’s Addiction - 98% Cronos, Venom - 92% Nikki Sixx, Mötley Crüe - 91% ↓Devin Townsend - 12%

so, I'm sure you've heard people complain about Magento's origin not making sense for adaptions set in the modern day, and while I think this is silly due to the fact that it can be easily waved away as a secondary mutation which makes him age slightly slower, what should adaptations do about Magda? If Wanda was concieved in the past, she'd still be like 70-something at the least.

You know, I've never really understood the problem with Magneto or his childrens' ages. Marvel comics operate on a flexible time scale, where the past is never as long ago as it seems. It doesn't always make sense-- and I know that they have retroactively adjusted certain historical landmarks and come up with reasons to de-age characters before-- but my point is, there's a built-in excuse here. I feel like, if you're reading Marvel, you just need to buy into the idea that the 40s, 50s, and 60s are simultaneously a long time ago, and also very recent. Because if you actually expect time to progress realistically, every Silver Age hero would be in their seventies or older.

I don't know, it didn't take me long to get a handle on it when I started reading comics, and I've never found it terribly immersion breaking.

Uh, anyway, if we're talking about, like, cartoon or video game adaptations, I feel like it should be really easy to just mimic the comic-book time scale. If you're careful to never show dates, and you keep the present day setting slightly ambiguous-- like, don't make super topical references and stuff-- you can handwave it just as easily as comics do. Live action is harder, mostly because it implicitly demands a slightly more grounded worldview, buuuuuuut the live action versions of Wanda and Pietro are already a total wash. They're not gonna make Elizabeth Olsen Magneto's daughter, and you'd have to be an idiot and a racist to want them to.

Speaking of, it's worth mentioning that the twins are not, canonically, Magneto and Magda's biological children. I know a lot of people think they can just "ignore" the retcon, but it's been a decade and there's no sign it's going to change. Outside of X-Men '97, which is a continuation of a pre-retcon series, I assume that any adaptation Marvel puts out will follow the foster/adopted-family angle. But if you really want an excuse for Wanda to be a young woman, you can just move Natalya's pregnancy forward on the timeline. It doesn't really disrupt anything else, except for making Bova's little mix-up less plausible, but that's easy to gloss over.

NSB (Straud Legacy) Gen 9 Ep 97: Resetting

Upon their arrival at the emergency room a panicking Noemi was led to an exam room and hooked up to a machine to monitor for fetal distress.

Fortunately, their son's heartbeat remained strong and regular. The doctors eventually diagnosed her with dehydration, her cramping slowly subsiding after a nap during which a bolus of IV fluid was administered to quickly distribute some much-needed vitamins and nutrients into her bloodstream.

The whole terrible episode left her with a deep fear of “what might have been”. She hadn’t been trying to get pregnant, but now that she was, she couldn’t imagine how she’d cope if something were to happen to their little boy.

The midwife on call came in to see how Noemi and the baby were doing and frowned upon hearing about the recent string of events that had led up to their emergent visit to the hospital.

With a meaningful look at Luigi, she reminded the pair that Love Day was right around the corner. What better excuse to take a break, reconnect with one another, and de-stress? It certainly sounded like they both could use it!

Luigi felt weighed down by the midwifes heavy suggestion and the smile that broke though his girl’s pensive mood at the idea.

He couldn’t deny that they could both benefit from an emotional reset after everything that had happed recently, and there was of course that little black box and the question he hadn’t figured out how to “pop” to consider, but that was the problem!

Luigi had NO clue how to go about setting up some big romantic Love Day date. He sucked at that stuff. The last time he’d tried going “full rom-com” he’d ended up getting into an ill-advised fistfight!

Rather than voice any of the uncertainty swirling through his head Luigi simply agreed that a little Love Day “reset” sounded like a great idea.

Noemi, who knew him well, shot a surprised glance his way when he didn’t beg off due to being “bad at romance”. Mustering up his most confident smile Luigi promised her “I’ll pamper you and the baby so thoroughly you’ll be on cloud 9 for a week!”

His efforts earned him what he’d been hoping for: a look of real hope and a silent but excited affirmative nod from the girl he loved.

When Noemi was finally released, Luigi settled her back at home with a snack and her favorite mocktail and got ready to head to class.

As he kissed her goodbye, he let her know he’d be a little late getting home. He needed to figure out how to be “good at romance” in time for a very special Love Day.
