For a 20 minute album, this one goes in on a lot with a gritty, dark boom-bap production style given the album's subject matters; from alcoholism, drug use, crime, and a struggling society; and yet Kitu Sewer's blunt, conversational flow, witty wordplay, and gripping narrations of the underworld make this a digestible listen.

TWISTED CHARACTERS AND THE MUSIC I THINK THEY'D LIKE! (savanaclaw ver.)

the part two i promised for no one specifically. i'm mainly doing every dorm because i want to -isa<3

LEONA KINGSCHOLAR

I actually think Leona would listen to music fairly frequently. He's a rich kid, I def headcanon he got one of them expensive ass sports cars and probably speeds on the highway blasting music, pissing off literally everyone else tryna drive home from work. His music taste would be surprisingly diverse, too. He'd probably like a mix of 2000s rnb which includes like Rihanna, Ne-Yo, AALIYAH SO OBVIOUSLY, Akon, and he'd be a (not obsessive) Beyonce stan. He'd listen to NYC and UK drill, and since I headcanon Sunset Savanna to be an East African inspired nation, he'd probably have some Kenyan/Tanzanian/Ugandan/Rwandan artists on his playlist too (since those countries are where Swahili is spoken widely.) I don't have any artists to name but if yall know some put me on.

RUGGIE BUCCHI

Ruggie, similar to Leona would have diverse music taste. Probably grew up surrounded by music, listening to whatever was on the radio while cooking sum for his grandmother, and now he uses one of Leona's ten credit cards to pay for his Spotify premium. He def listens to albums when he's chilling on his bed, studying/trying to unwind after a long day of running around. Though he grew up on similar traditional East African music, his favorite genres (IN MY OPINION) would be alternative hip hop and indie music. He LOVESSSSS Kanye West (tcd to yeezus), Tyler the Creator (and honestly all of OFWGKTA), Gorillaz, Childish Gambino, Vampire Weekend, and early alternative hip hop artists like the Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, Cypress Hill, etc. He was also probably put onto Britpop through Gorillaz, and likes Blur, Oasis, and (it's a secret tho) he fucks with Radiohead's "ok computer" album.

JACK HOWL

Jack is a canon gym rat. we already know he listens to music like HELL while he's bench pressing and doing pushups. I think he'd have similar music taste to Ruggie, excluding the "indie" part. (and he probably uses apple music, too.) Jack enjoys alternative hip-hop, and west coast hip-hop. He'd like Kanye and some of Tyler's popular songs, but he'd REALLY enjoy early 90s west coast rap like N.W.A, Dr. Dre. 2PAC ESPECIALLY, KENDRICK LAMAR ESPECIALLY. His favorite album is probably good kid maad city.

X-Men ‘97 Episode 1 Synopsis: We’re so Fukken’ Back

Welcome to the Synopsis land, where fan theories become canon, and canon becomes a mere fan theory. Also, there are a lot of bad jokes. (I promise I’ll add alt text soon)

This song is always incredible. It’s so much better than it has any right to be. The default font here is Trebuchet, as it reminds me of old-school internet forums.

Spelling fucking as “fukken’” has a long history in the synopsis format.

Every extra in this show is named Terry, as per synopsis tradition

Meet Storm aka Ororo Munroe. Her font is “Thunder” in the same red as the Kenyan flag.

Meet Bishop, our time traveling friend from the mid-21st century. He’s a fan of late-2010s internet culture, as it was the last good times before the horrors of Future Past hit. Font is Futura because he’s from the Future

Bishop leans on the fourth wall a few times because this is pop-culture to him

Roberto da Costa: rich kid, questioning his sexuality, secretly a nerd who plays Magic the Gathering. His font is the same as 90s MTG card titles (Goudy Mediaeval), and as green as the Brazillian flag.

Meet Cyclops aka Scott Summers. Camp counselor of the X-Men, shoved into being camp director. A basic bitch, he loves Elton John

Cyclops using his blasts to propel himself is so fukken’ tite

I’m not wasting an opportunity to make a UUUU joke when I can

Rogue and Gambit: southerners after my own heart. Both are trans. They have found…creative ways to have sex while avoiding each other’s powers. Blues and Rock music enjoyers. Their font is “Magnolia Script” because Mississippi is the Magnolia state and it looks like the Zapp’s chips logo

Meet Morph. Very nonbinary. Hopelessly romantic for Wolverine. an East Coast Hip-Hop aficionado. While other characters use color as a constant, morph uses font (Comic Neue Angular) as a constant and varies their color depending on presentation.

Jean Grey is the X-Men’s resident chaos gremlin. She stops arguments by pitching more ridiculous ideas. Spice Girls fanatic.

Part 2

[mdccanon]

I hope BP3 goes even more mystical, just to spite every Black guy who only watches The Wire, Empire, and Scarface and wants Black people to stop having fun

Some people are so boring.

Some guy said Wakanda Forever is too fantastical and it would have been better to focus on the CIA side and to introduce realistic racism like propaganda, US sanctions, and destabilization and assassinations attempts. A fantasy underwater Mayan lost world is just too silly! And they tried to make that absolute bullshit make sense by making up this as an example of going too far: "What if, in the third movie, the sky just turned purple or a unicorn turned Shuri into a wizard. Do you see how crazy it gets if you just throw around "fantasy" things, it starts sounding ridicu--"

THIS IS A COMIC BOOK.

Me: Did you just subconsciously invoke "the ski turns purple," forgetting that already does happen IN the story-world as a sign of being in the ancestorial plane? If you showed me a snippet of a trailer with the normal sky being purple, I'd assume that the dimensions between life and death broke down by some demonic means. I'd HOPE that means the cast could all have meetings with their ancestors, which would be freakin' emotional, plus Shuri and M'Baku could meet face-to-face with Bast and Hanuman, like how Moon Knight got to interact with Egyptian gods -- and Bast, who was cast and had a cameo in Thor: Love and Thunder in Zeus' meeting of the gods, would be the perfect person to teach Shuri some "wizard"-shit. X-Men's Storm comes from a line of Kenyan witches, so Bast introducing it would keep that door open for any future storylines... ... I mean, I'm excited for a political thriller war against the CIA and the Thunderbolts, too, but Shuri defeating them with magic from her goddess is actually a pretty dope resolution. Good job brainstorming that.

They responded that that's not a realistic enough for the MCU.

No, that's not realistic for being about Black people because you don't know what to do with yourself if a story about Black people isn't about slavery, suffering, and 1990s hip hop stereotypes. The Emmett Till movie was playing next door, maybe you got confused and wandered into Black Panther? Thor is a Nordic god who just got into a pissing match with a Mediterranean god, Egyptian gods just had a kaiju fight in Giza, the Eternals pissed off their gods a few months ago, but it would be too cw~azy for the Black people to meet their gods? (Especially if it wasn't being used as a scathing allegory against Christianity.)

He even complained that Anderson Cooper's positive-neutral, professional news coverage of Wakanda "isn't realistic" either. "They would say anything they could to make Wakanda sound barbaric and backwards. They wouldn't report Ramonda at the UN like that. They'd be on the UN's side."

You are saying anything you can to sound dumb. If you hate white people so much that you think Anderson fuckin' Cooper would talk like FOXNEWS if Wakanda was real, you just sound dumb. Anderson Cooper does NOT normally do these "real reporter in superhero world" cameos, which means he probably asked to be in Black Panther. If Ramonda was an IRL African queen, Anderson Cooper would swipe his personal credit card to fly to her whenever she cleared her throat. He'd be her personal biographer. You have to have an astronomical, desperate resentment to want to see Anderson Cooper say anti-African propaganda and twist the narrative of the Mali mercenaries scenes. You sound dumb. No, you sound sick.

Get therapy.

Why would Disney have a real reporter who people... children... see report real international news say anti-African propaganda? That would be haunting, disorientating, and possibly triggering. You need therapy for being mad it didn't happen.

The Benga Manifesto

Whereas the US music scene was propped up by the African American culture of the 90s, the Nigeria by its 2013/16 arts growth, the Kenyan scene is yet to fully utilize its mojo! We need a Benga revolution!

The US of A boasts of about 140mn + boppers who ACTIVELY listen, buy & subscribe to music, with avg streams of 75min a day a pax. The music business owes the 40mn+ African Americans of the 90/2000’s who blew up the Rap, Hip Hop and RnB culture into the world. The 1985-2005 period produced the most creative of acts, genres building up to the peak of music sales in yr 2000. Akina Run DMC, Magu,…
