The Flying Burrito Brothers - The Gilded Palace of Sin (1969)

On this day, February 6th, 1969, The Gilded Palace of Sin, the debut album by the Flying Burrito Brothers, was released. While the album was not successful commercially (it peaked at no. 164), the album is widely viewed as a major work of 70s rock. Continuing the work of fusing country music and rock they started with the Byrds, Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons’ Flying Burrito Brothers expanded their influences to include gospel, soul, and psychedelic rock. Including such Parsons country rock classics as “Christine’s Tune,” “Hot Burrito #1,” and “Sin City,” the album is now generally viewed as one of the most influential and important records of all time, having had a profound impact on rock and country and practically birthing the alt. country genre.

this is what everyone has been saying!! no one is looking at celebrities for political statements, but they should and must use their platform to amplify the voices of those who need and most importantly be against this genocide!!

So I had this idea that big chain business refuse to operate in Gotham.

Not only is it a negative net gain bc of property damage— Gothamites are more than willing to screw them over.

Sure it’s temping to go for the cheaper option, but you know what’s more cheaper? Stealing.

But gothamites got respect for one another. They’re not gonna steal from Meg the small struggling business owner. You’ll get targeted by two different gangs if you hurt Meg. Meg is willing to give her left leg for her loyal customers and that gets her respect.

But McDonald’s isn’t Meg. McDonald’s got no respect.

This is also why there are so many local chain restaurants, like Batburger.

At least they understand if they start charging half a cent more the people will revolt.

The people of Gotham may hate each other but they got class loyalty.

baldur/ansur has me wanting to make something for wyll/durge except instead of durge being a dragonborn like default, they’re a dragon. they are straight up a dragon that had shapeshifter into a humanoid form and then, with everything else, forgotten. they have visions of being some great beast, sure, but they have a lot of visions. not all of them are real. they don’t want them to be real. but this skin feels too tight now, and they don’t know what’s underneath.

the parallels. man turned into monster but still retaining humanity, trying to figure out how to do good when the world shirks from him and sees him as a problem to be fixed or hidden. dragon turned into abomination, their devotion turning into rage and vengeance after they were attacked and killed (but not quite all the way) by someone beloved, not quite trusted but beloved.

but unlike baldur and ansur, wyll and durge overcome the anger, the sadness, the betrayal. they survive. or do they. DO YOU SEE IT

What would a role reversed merman AU scenario be like? And most impotant, what kind of fish species would Hank be? (Not meant as a drawing request or super elaborate essay or anything, I just love reading your ideas ✨️)

I know you said this isn't a drawing/essay request but HOW COULD I RESIST!!!

I am not a fish expert but I like to think of Hank being either a dwarf gourami (for that good ol' in-game symbolism hehe) or a tiger shark, because stripes and big teeth and bad temper. Or maybe he could be some sort of tropical fish that's super vibrant and colourful, yet also deadly (poisonous fin spikes?). Marine biologists please weigh in!!!

Some half-formed unofficial notes:

Hank is more outwardly aggressive towards Kamski and the scientists in comparison to Connor’s cold-shoulder approach. They went through their entire tranquilizer supply in the first few months just to get a handle on the roaring, thrashing beast of a merman, and he’s caused more than a few major injuries amongst their team. Just like Connor, he bares his teeth and resists every time they come to take him for experiments; they have to sedate him from a greater distance and with a much heavier dose than they use for Connor, however.

Hank is a little less malnourished than Connor, but only because he doesn't refuse to eat. He's still thinner and weaker than he would be normally

Connor works the night shift. Not sure if it’s because he has another job during the daytime or if he’s going to school, but either way he manages to catch up on sleep during his breaks. He sacrifices this sleep once he and Hank start growing closer, however.

Hank takes much longer to warm up to Connor than the reverse. He snarls and snaps his teeth whenever Connor gets too close; it takes weeks for Connor to be able to approach the edge of the tank. He has to leave the fresh fish on the deck and back away before Hank will even look at it, ice-blue eyes narrowed with suspicion.

Connor is a bit more hesitant to get close to Hank, but that's only because he's always taken his job seriously and he doesn't like breaking the rules. He can't help but stare in awe whenever the large merman swims by, however, vibrant fins flashing and his muscled body cutting powerfully through the water. It's only when Connor starts noticing the scientists taking Hank away - and his glimpses of Hank's violent resistance - that his curiosity and empathy override his sense of obedience and his desire to make a good first impression.

Because Hank doesn't talk, Connor is given even more of an opportunity than usual to run his mouth. He blabbers away, asking question after question as if Hank could answer, sometimes philosophizing and sometimes talking about nothing at all. Hank tries to tune him out as he eats, but the human is annoyingly persistent. Eventually he grows used to the babble, but only after he starts begrudgingly warming up to the kid.

Because Connor talks so damn much, it's alarming when he goes quiet. Hank initiates contact for the first time by taking off his glasses when he has his breakdown. It's the first time Hank has ever been so close to him.

I think that Hank would still have lost Cole when he was a baby mer; possibly to humans and their trapping practices, giving him even more of a reason to hate them. I'm torn on what Connor's backstory should be, though. Perhaps he lost Nines (to an ocean storm?)? Or maybe it’s post-fight with Amanda and he’s feeling directionless in life, suffocating under the weight of his family’s expectations and feeling like he’s a burden and a disappointment despite everything that he’s achieved? Maybe it’s just a good ol’ panic attack because I love forcing anxiety onto human!Connor (no I’m not projecting what do u mean)

Hank's power and girth take on a whole new light after they’ve grown close. Connor is more distracted during their time together, his stream of chatter faltering uncharacteristically whenever Hank shifts a certain way or rips into a fish easily with his powerful jaws. He swallows when he imagines the full strength of the merman pressing him down against the deck, of Hank dragging him into the water and grazing those razor-sharp teeth along his skin, tail wrapped around his body like a serpent and trapping him in place.

Hank could hold the skinny human down with one hand. He knows he could. He imagines wide dark eyes staring up at him, skin flushed prettily and neat brown hair dripping, wordless for once in his life, and nearly loses his self-control. If they were both mermen, he'd be courting the kid to the ends of the ocean. Or...maybe Connor would be the one wooing him. He's certainly brought him enough fish and stared at his chest and arms enough that any merperson worth their salt would consider it mate-like behaviour. It's a weird cognitive dissonance to be feeling this way about a human, but Connor is — Connor is different. Hank likes Connor; he likes him so much that it's stupid.
