Oblivion by Mastodon - Directed by Robert Schober

[publicacionesdeunachica]

I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation.

Living in the past, it's a new generation.

A girl can do what she wants to do and that's what I'm gonna do.

An' I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation.

Oh no, not me.

An' I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation.

Never said I wanted to improve my station.

An' I'm only doin' good when I'm havin' fun.

An' I don't have to please no one.

An' I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation.

Oh no, no, no, no not me, oh no, no, no, no not me.

I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation.

I've never been afraid of any deviation.

An' I don't really care if you think I'm strange.

I ain't gonna change.

An' I'm never gonna care 'bout my bad reputation.

Oh no, not me, oh no, not me.

Pedal, boys!

An' I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation.

The world's in trouble, there's no communication.

An' everyone can say what they wanna say.

It never gets better, anyway.

So why should I care about a bad reputation, anyway?

Oh no, not me, oh no, not me.

I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation.

You're living in the past, it's a new generation.

An' I only feel good when I got no pain.

An' that's how I'm gonna stay.

An' I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation.

Oh no, not me, oh no, not me.

Not me, not me.

AND Happy Bowser Day!✨✨🎉

[the-blind-geisha]

And after that, Ludwig learned never to eat fruits around Yoshi ever again...

The six Mario characters request challenge! I had a lot of fun drawing this as it urged me to do characters I rarely draw! ♥♥

And I gotta say...I almost had King Bob-omb and his kid have black eyes till I was looking up his gem colors to make sure they were red... and I am shocked I forgot their eyes are actually white. o_O; huh. crazy.

King Bob-omb and King Boo swapped kids for the day. In my headcanon world, the two are friends since they helped Bowser take over Peach's castle in Mario 64. And I know Nintendo said KB isn't canon to it but HECK IT. I'm allowed to imagine whatever I want! Like King Boo being responsible for painting the painted worlds that are found in Peach's castle.

Thank those on IG for the suggestions!!

Oppenheimer (15): Fission + Fusion = Cinematic Brilliance.

#onemannsmovies review of "Oppenheimer" (2023). #OppenheimerFilm. Nolan's stunning biopic that demands to be seen on the big screen. 5/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Oppenheimer” (2023). The “Barbenheimer” tag for this week’s releases is slightly bonkers since you could hardly imagine two more different films than “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer”! Both have been packing cinema screens this weekend (hooray!). “Barbie” was surprisingly good. But, having had disappointments from Nolan (“Dunkirk“, I’m specifically looking at you here!)…

Joyraiser

Psycho Circus (1998) is not always an easy thing to grasp for the average Joe Kiss fan, if I may say so.

Apart from the usual general fan over-dramatization, or notions that Paul must have been in full Bon Jovi mode for that album some people even report they recognize the melody of a beer advertisement from the 80s in Raise Your Glasses' chorus, and others, and by that I mean yours truly, the soundtrack to a dumpling TV commercial from the early 90s by a large and well-known instant food producer in Germany.

Above all, the latter two assumptions are most probably not at all absurd, as the chances that both contain one and the same piece of music are anything but bad.

And of course I would like to emphasize that this is not about the usual mundane three-note jingles, but a rather a cross-reference to a long-established method of the advertising industry, which has existed since radios and TV sets in our modern consumer culture have been trying to drown people's brains and souls with it to a greater extent every day. And as you might know this consists of little more than appropriating highly vibrating compositions of classical music from the most diverse eras and using them for their own profit-seeking purposes. The average consumer, who henceforth associates their product with those divine melodies, gets culturally re-imprinted in the process.

Just to say the least.

But to stop beating the bush, I am talking about Ludwig Van Beethoven's Ode to Joy (1824), from his 9th Symphony. Who doesn't know it, even if only from a TV advertisement ?

And to give in to the temptation to provide another Paul quote, even though I've been making quite an inflationary use of them lately, doesn't he like to say that Beethoven was the first rock and roller ever? You know, because of his 5th Symphony, which may indeed have given direction to the rock riff as we know it.

And since Paul and Gene made it their mission back then to use Destroyer (1976) more or less as a blueprint for Psycho Circus (1), that would only be logical, wouldn't it? I mean, after Gene and Bob Ezrin already helped themselves to Beethoven's Piano Sonata Pathetique No. 8 for Great Expectations with the subtlety of a compulsive nudist in a crowded public square (2).

And Paul, surely, doesn't go quite so obviously for Raise Your Glasses, but still obviously enough for the whole thing to be considered anything but subtle. So, despite all this, Paul still manages to find enough of his own to give the incorporation of borrowed elements and his own identity an ideal balance, which in this case suits his pop qualities perfectly. And that in a double pack with Holly Knight.

My gosh!

What do you want to call something like that? Cringy? Corny? Not at all, dear people, maybe just a bit megalomaniac, but Kiss, far above all other rock bands, have always been exactly the right address for that.

Klassik!

Side Notes:

(1) There are more reasons than I can list with one hand why this also applies to Music from The Elder (1981). You can read at least a few of them here, here and here.

(2) Which I will of course deal with in detail in the future.

The links are as surely highlighted as Raise our Glasses is not about spectacles. Ode to Joy begins at what is probably its most famous part, the grand finale:

Raise Your Glasses (1998)

Ode an die Freude (1824)

[ciderbird]

I haven’t drawn in ages but here have some younger Napoleon with that fuckass bob

the third one was actually inspired by the incident with Ludwig von Cobenzl, the Austrian diplomat who negotiated a peace treaty with Napoleon after the Italian campaign and the latter broke his expensive vase about it like “damn. how fragile. I wonder what would happen if I do that with the rest of your army?”

and Alexander is there too I guess

Extensive Training💉🥪

(Captain Medic! AU)

(HeavyMedic oneshot)

(Suggestive / slight nsfw / toxic power imbalance / medic is down bad)

(Medic - Ludwig

OC Heavy - Ivan)

Location: Red base / outside back patio

“Impressive.” Ludwig bashfully muttered. The doctor was sat with his legs crossed and clipboard in hand. Checking off his personal list of criteria his new teammate had to meet. Ludwig was slowly bobbing up and down in his current “seat”. The rookie Heavy underneath him was currently doing a set of pushups with the doctor sat on his back. Ivan began doing one armed push-ups towards the end of his set. In hopes of impressing his new captain. Ludwig’s eyes widened, scribbling something down onto his clipboard. Inevitably, Ivan had finished up the final set of push-ups he was given. Ludwig quickly hopped off the Russian’s back.

“Good job mein friend.” Ludwig boasted with a bashful grin. Ivan slowly got back up onto his two feet.

“Thank you. Did I pass test?” Ivan asked while readjusting his fur hat. Considering the doctor’s flirtatious and giddy demeanor, he assumed he would passed the test with flying colors. Ludwig quickly set down his clipboard onto a wooden table nearby.

“Yes. As expected, you did wonderful.” Ludwig praised with a chipper grin. Ivan perked up with a wide smile himself. The peppy doctor took a step closer towards him, gently caressing his arm. Ivan gazed down at the captain’s gloved hand, then back up to the German’s eyes.

“If you don’t mind me asking, what happened to other Heavy?” Ivan curiously asked. All the man knew was that he was a replacement, he never got a reason why. Ludwig’s chipper smile suddenly faded. He had expected that dreaded question to come up eventually. Ludwig took a deep breath before replying.

“He ended up being a traitor.” Ludwig shyly admitted. It’s as if the doctor shrunk down in size, now displaying an anxious demeanor. Ivan was visibly taken back by that answer.

“If it’s not confidential, may I ask why?” Ivan asked even further.

“…We caught him smuggling our resources to the enemy.” Ludwig confessed while nervously adjusting his glasses. The doctor sadly gazed over at the snowy wooded area not too far from them.

“I see.” Ivan replied with a small frown. Ludwig was visibly distressed but regardless he kept his composure. Ivan comforted him by reaching a hand out to gently caress his shoulder. The doctor perked up at the sudden touch. His eyes lingered over to the Russian’s large fingers for a few silent moments. Quietly admiring Ivan’s large, veiny hands. Lewdly imagining all sorts of crude uses for them.

‘Dummkopf! Are you seriously going to rebound with the next available Heavy in your proximity?!

‘Duh! Don’t listen to him. You and I both know exactly what you want.

Just go for it.’

Those two familiar voices had rung throughout Ludwig’s mind. The doctor bashfully rubbed the back of his neck before speaking.

“Enough about that, your test scores deserve a celebration.” Ludwig quickly averted. Playfully patting the Russian’s front coat pocket with his gloved hand.

“Does doctor drink?” Ivan suggested while tilting his head. Ludwig snickered.

“Well yes…but I had something else in mind. Something more…private.” Ludwig flirtatiously suggested while gently caressing the Russian’s fur coat trim. Ivan shyly stood there looking slightly confused.

“Follow me.” Ludwig quickly ordered. Leading Ivan back inside of the warm base. Both men eagerly walked past the kitchen, down the hallway and over towards the doctor’s office. Coincidentally, the Medic’s office was connected to his master bedroom. Once inside, Ludwig quickly put up a paper cover over the office door’s small window. He then grabbed a hold of the Russian’s hand and dragged him along over towards the door connecting to his bedroom. Ivan anxiously stumbled inside. Ludwig shut and locked the door behind them both. Finally realizing what the doctor had been insinuating all this time. Ivan anxiously scanned the German’s large, neatly decorated room. Being the team captain certainly had it’s perks. The sound of the captain’s gold medals jingling caused Ivan to glance back at Ludwig. Noticing the doctor had began stripping himself of his lab coat, gloves and hat.

“Don’t be shy. Go on, have a seat.” Ludwig kindly offered while gesturing over to his bed. Ivan anxiously sat down on the edge of the captain’s bed. The flustered Russian swiftly took off his snow goggles to get a better look at the show in front of him. Watching Ludwig slowly peel off his fitted sweater. Along with both of his boots, he tossed his garments into a pile on the floor beside him. Ivan sat there in awe of his superior’s bare skin. Ludwig took a few steps closer, now stood in between the Russian’s spread knees.

“Could you help me with mein belt?” Ludwig flirtatiously asked while tilting his head to the side. Ivan eagerly nodded and began unbuckling the doctor’s belt. Allowing the leather strap to slide out from his hands and onto the floor. Ludwig quickly unbuttoned his pants and shimmied them off both of his legs. Leaving him in nothing but black socks, garters and briefs.

“What happens now?” Ivan asked bashfully. Before responding, the salacious doctor swiftly got down onto both of his knees. Reaching up to grab at the Russian’s belt buckle.

“Extensive training.” Ludwig devilishly replied before unwrapping his new plaything.
