Need Help Creating my next Tav for BG3: 70s Disco Tav

Hey, guys. So I am looking for some suggestions. I am currently on my second playthrough (Wood Half-Elf Wild Magic Barbarian Resist Durge), but I am already planning out playthrough number 3. This might be a silly concept, but I am planning to do another Tav but a College of Swords Bard/Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer multiclass with the Noble Background. The thing is: the concept I had for the character was sort of a 1970s disco dancer 🕺🏻🪩 I’m planning to do a poly romance with Shadowheart and Halsin, and with my Disco Tav’s mojo, I plan to seduce ALL of Faerun! 🤣🪩

What items (clothes, armor, weapons, etc) can you think of that might fit this vibe as well as work mechanically for this build? Thanks!

Obligatory Pathologic/latest obsession crossover~

I've already seen some pathologic/disco elysium fusions, so here's my offer: consider

Harry doing the Pathologic hd Changeling route~

You woke up in a shallow grave with no memories, no weapon but a strong conviction you're a prophet with magical powers, and now you need to find how to stop the sand plague~ Harry doesn’t get Clara's healing mojo, but his can-opening powers already work similar to her hooks, soooo he won't be completely helpless... all the voices are still present, though Esprit de Corps is now tuned to the town healers (and isn't it fun with Burakh and Dankovsky actively trying to off each other in Clara's route) and Shivers is now speaks for Gorkhon (which won't be as pleasant as Revachol at all)~ All the other townspeople are baffled at best, but you still have a chance to stay with Saburovs if you play your cards right with not Katerina but Alexander, as a fellow man of the law (otherwise Harry is stuck with Grace, that poor girl)~

Meanwhile Kim is reliving his worst nightmare where he has to finish the case with teenager who proclaims herself next Innocence

A very detailed, positive "Beetlejuice" review.

Lots of info about what happens, so consider this packed with spoilers.

‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ Review: Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton Help Tim Burton Rediscover the Ghoulish Mischief of His Glory Days.

There’s an inventive sequence early in the unexpectedly delightful Beetlejuice Beetlejuice in which the Bee Gees’ “Tragedy” accompanies Monica Bellucci’s soul-sucking demoness as her hacked up body parts are shaken loose from crates in the afterlife’s lost-and-found warehouse, where she proceeds to stitch herself back together like a gorgeous DIY Frankenstein monster. That scene multitasks as a show of kinship with the same actor’s role as a vampire bride in Bram Stoker’s Dracula; a tribute from Tim Burton to a key Gothic literature inspiration; and a darkly delicious valentine to the director’s offscreen partner of the past two years.

One of many inspired set-pieces in a clever sequel laced with hilarious callbacks to the 1988 original and amusingly eclectic pop-culture references to everything from Carrie to Mario Bava, from Soul Train to Donna Summer, it’s not the only time during the movie that I scrawled, “Tim Burton’s back!” in my notes.

Any sequel coming 36 years after its predecessor is best approached with caution, this one especially so given that with the main exception of 2012’s Frankenweenie, Burton seemed to have misplaced his mojo somewhere around the turn of the new century — at least for this critic.

Tapping into the maniacally playful spirit of one of his enduring golden-era hits, the director seems reinvigorated. He serves up comparable tonic as well for two actors who were a big part not just of the original Beetlejuice but also of Burton’s Batman movies and Edward Scissorhands: Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder, respectively. The name in the credits of a second Batman Returns alum is no secret, but that actor’s droll extended cameo merits spoiler treatment.

Hollywood’s cynical strip-mining of successful IP in its quest for the everlasting franchise has taught us to be suspicious, so there’s something restorative for the audience, too, in experiencing a resuscitated screen property that’s actually fun — not to mention one that asserts its own reason to exist.

I sparked up and began to realize I was in good hands as soon as the spooky echo of Summer’s disco “MacArthur Park” cover segued to the first notes of a score by Danny Elfman, which starts in ominous mode and grows more devilishly jaunty as ace DP Haris Zambarloukos’ camera cruises through the sleepy town of Winter River and arrives at the hilltop haunted house purchased by the Deetz family in Beetlejuice.

Warner Bros. has been trying on and off to make a sequel happen since the early ’90s, most notably after the studio in 2011 hired Seth Grahame-Smith, who shares story credit here with screenwriters Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. Burton’s success pulling off such a zesty follow-up after so many years on the shelf is due as much to those writers, with whom he worked on Netflix’s Wednesday. That series’ star, Jenna Ortega, is chief among welcome new additions to the holdover crew of Keaton, Ryder, Catherine O’Hara and shrunken-headed Bob.

Still wearing the jagged black bangs she rocked as a goth teen, Ryder’s Lydia Deetz is now a widowed mother famous for hosting a reality show called Ghost House, where from a studio attic set she invites viewers to “Come in, if you dare.” Mimicking the formula of countless paranormal shows, Lydia coaxes guests to share chilling experiences of unexplained phenomena in their homes. But a triggering vision of Keaton’s Beetlejuice sitting among the studio audience reveals that the psychic mediator has not put her own haunted past behind her.

Lydia has a strained relationship with her teenage daughter, Astrid (Ortega), who resents her mother spending more time with the dead than with her own daughter and chafes at her disinclination to talk about her late father, Richard (Santiago Cabrera). He perished in an accident in the Amazon, and while Astrid thinks her mom’s supernatural insights are hokum, she petulantly gripes that Richard is the one ghost with whom she can’t communicate.

ensions between Lydia and her artist stepmother Delia (O’Hara) have eased over the years, despite the latter becoming even more self-absorbed in her shift from sculpture into mixed media. Her latest show is called The Human Canvas, and that canvas of course is Delia’s face and body.

The writers find a crafty solution to the awkward question of what to do about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Jones, who played Lydia’s father, Charles. In a spry Claymation sequence that’s classic Burton, we learn of Charles’ recent gruesome death — though naturally in the Beetlejuice world, death is more a pitstop than a destination, so the character lingers even if his original physical form is erased.

Barbara and Adam Maitland, the sweet, prematurely deceased couple played by Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin, are gone, however, as Lydia explains they’ve found a loophole. “How convenient,” scoffs Astrid, with a wink from the writers.

Charles’ funeral — whimsically accompanied by a boys choir singing a hymnal version of Harry Belafonte’s “Day-O,” another lovely callback — brings the family back to Winter River. Accompanying them is Lydia’s producer and soon-to-be fiancé, Rory (Justin Theroux), whose ridiculous tiny ponytail tags him as a phony, and whose “New Age, over-bonding, yoga-retreat bullshit” Astrid finds beneath contempt.

Wrapping the entire house, Christo-style, in black gauze, Delia sets about making her performative grief into a project dubbed The Art of Sorrow, while Rory seizes on Charles’ wake as the ideal time to propose to Lydia, who’s sufficiently caught off-guard to accept. Astrid’s disgust sends her speeding off into town, where she meets Jeremy (Arthur Conti), a fellow Dostoevsky fan and cool analog guy; they plan a date for Halloween night, when her mother’s “Witching Hour” wedding is scheduled.

While all this is going on, Bellucci’s Delores is terrorizing the netherworld, killing denizens “dead-dead” on her mission to claim the rotten soul of her husband, Beetlejuice. In a riotous touch that got huge laughs at the Venice press screening, their short-lived ghost marriage is recapped as a black-and-white, subtitled Italian mini-movie. Investigating Delores’ trail of destruction is Wolf Jackson (Willem Dafoe), a former TV action star now playing detective, with lots of cheesy direct-to-camera glances for dramatic emphasis.

The living (or “fleshbags,” as Jackson calls them) and the dead get tangled up when Astrid is tricked into a potentially fatal pact and Lydia is forced to summon Beetlejuice to help her cross over and save her daughter. Given that Beetlejuice doesn’t believe in free favors, an alternative wedding plan emerges to rescue him from Delores, a nightmarish scenario in which Lydia’s familiarity with the predatory sandworms of the afterlife’s exile desertscape comes in handy.

The zippy pacing, buoyant energy and steady stream of laugh-out-loud moments hint at the joy Burton appears to have found in revisiting this world, and for anyone who loved the first movie, it’s contagious. That applies also to the actors, all of whom warm to the dizzying lunacy.

The double-barrel title might suggest this is Keaton’s show, and he gets an ample share of antic opportunities — looking as moldy and slobby as ever and crawling with cockroaches — but he never crowds out anyone else in the strong ensemble.

is most exhilarating sequences include a stint as a trickster couples counselor when Rory decides Lydia needs to face “this construct of your trauma.” (The uproarious birth of a diabolical baby Beetlejuice during that scene yields one of animatronics chief Neal Scanlan’s most brilliant creations.)

If the use of Belafonte’s “Day-O” was a memorable high point of Beetlejuice, what the filmmakers and Keaton do with “MacArthur Park” in a wedding-from-hell climax takes the possessed lip-syncing and dance moves several steps further. The wedding cake with “sweet green icing flowing down” is a jubilant celebration of some of the daffiest lyrics ever set to music. And the fate of an assembly of cellphone-clutching influencers gathered in the church by Rory (“Nothing less than 5 million followers”) will bring bliss to anyone who ever rolled their eyes about that “career” path.

Ryder goes beat for beat with Keaton as the yin of the movie to his rancidly irreverant yang. The actress transports us back to the enchanting screen persona of her late teens, not just in Beetlejuice but also in movies like Edward Scissorhands, Mermaids and Heathers, in which she radiated a singular mix of smarts, sweetness and innocence but was just as effective when she veered into darkness. As much as anything, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a poignant mother-daughter story, played with real heart by both Ryder and Ortega.

The movie’s pleasures extend to Zambarloukos’ dynamic visuals and Elfman’s score, which has all the qualities of his collaborative peak with Burton plus distinctive new flavors. Another frequent collaborator, costume designer Colleen Atwood, does striking work for characters on both sides of the mortality divide, while production designer Mark Scruton has a ball creating a whole new network of afterlife antechambers, admin offices and departure terminals.

CG work is no doubt extensive but one of the sequel’s charms is how much its physical sets, puppetry and phantasmagoria stick to a hand-crafted look in line with the far more limited effects tools available in the late ’80s. It’s rewarding to have Burton back in full creative command of the humor, the fantastical imagination and the gleeful morbidity on which he built his name.

Just a mini update, I've been pretty sick. In a hell of a flare where just existing is painful as fuck let alone trying to do things. So I've not really been online much. But my IMs and Disco are open to folks. I've just not had enough brain to write lately. Hopefully the mojo will come back soon.

first thoughts on Ted Lasso premiere

Phoebe remains the absolute best.

DRESSED LIKE AN UMLAUT

Ted being all sad and rumpled and rumpled and sad 😭 he needs comforting but also antidepressants and some serious rejiggering of his parenting life lbr 😭 looking forward to the fic

love everything with Nate and Rupert and the whole West Ham sterile environment...it's so deliciously fucked up. And the panicking + spitting under the table?? FUCK. oh, Nate. i look forward to the fucked up fic

I'm not sad to have some Roy x Keeley angst... hoping with @wildwren that it goes angstier before or gets better! (WREN I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR FIC 👀👀👀👀) but also I love them and want there to be a very satisfying arc of them working their shit out and getting back together and fucking Jamie

I really don't think I followed the sewer metaphor right.. it sounded like a suggestion to form a human centipede?? 😹 i don't look forward to that fic, but god bless if that's your kink.

also was not expecting crotch shots as they descended into the sewer... looking forward to the gifsets

much good himbo-ness!

Disco, lol

what's Beard reading now, and why is he leaving it on Roy to carry all of Nate's old job?

yes thank you for sharing your bosoms with Keeley, Rebecca! please do more; Keeley is sad and deserves boobs looking forward to the fic

oh fuck, it didn't occur to me that Keeley's office would be joyless thanks to her VCs appointing the CFO, ... didn't she hire some of the people, though?? why aren't those ones at least fun and awesome?? I'm going to be bummed if she fails at running her own company or hates it... but that doesn't feel like a move the show would pull, i hope? she should have success and JOY. may need to write the fic

Sam shirtless yes thank you

Jamie's hair lol no thank you

he's okay to drive but forever changed, haf... of course Beard knows toad venom. there was no doubt in my mind.

press conference duel YES. I love Nate taking Ted down and Ted lifting Nate up. even if Ted's too distracted and depressed to have his full joke mojo, that was great.

what must Nate be thinking after he angrily closes his laptop. look forward to he fic and meta

get it, Sharon! (that's not anyone we're supposed to recognize in her bed, right?)

Ted asking sad questions and Beard not answering except to point out that they already passed his apartment 😭 Beard what is up with you rn??? looking forward to the fic

Very curious about what Trent is up to. 👀👀 looking forward to the fic

as I expected might be the case, I was vibrating with New Canon Energy the whole time and it was a bit distracting... I definitely need to watch it again soon now that I know the basics of what happens. but I liked a lot of things in this episode, and i am not angry about anything, all of which is a delight and a relief since last time I joined a fandom during a hiatus it was Sherlock, and my feelings about the following episode were Complicated

Okay: What do you think of a team up of classic 70s Disco Dazzler and Austin Powers? would Alison be down with Austin’s mojo? Or would she find him “ungroovy”?

Hm, well. Unfortunately, Dazzler didn't exisit until 1980, and I think it was the late 60s when Austin was frozen? However, let's just say he was freed in the 80s instead of the 90s. Alison does have bad taste in men, so I think maybe she would have been slightly tolerable of him depending on how crude he was upon their first meeting. I have not seen any of those movies in very a long time, but I believe he was very raunchy from what I remember. I think if he needed her help or if she needed his, she could tolerate him to a certain extent. Otherwise, man was getting slapped! She has bad taste in men, yeah, but I think she would have shot down due to how insanely forward he was.

Then again, you have the trash that is Dazzler: The Movie. Under the right sexist writer, it would be a much different outcome.

Though, her disco self did meet Ash Williams in Marvel Zombies. Different canon, but she did not enjoy him at all when he very obviously checked her out.

Current Ali I think would not have any time for him whatsoever.

Since I'm on my Ken bullshit right now --

Erik has Kenergy.

He's Christine's #2, a stylish mofo, hot when he's in his feelings, lord of his mojo dojo casa house, loves a girl that sees him as a friend, he has a horse, wars with the other Ken (Raoul -- let's be real, Raoul needs a hard nipple twist) --

In his own mind -- he's a 10. He wants to know love and be the real thing. Wants Christine to see behind the mask and fight for him.

Only Cherik is living and dying a life of blonde fragility (and has a tan)

He's just Erik and he's def sleeping alone at night.

Giving me Phantom of the Paradise vibes.

Última Carta a Jeff

GRACE, de Jeff buckley.

En una tarde tranquila después del trabajo suelo leer el periódico y aunque a veces me pierdo en desmenuzar las opiniones tan difusas de la modernidad Siempre acompaño está agonía con música. Soy una anciana que aún cree en la música puramente hecha a la antigua, aún no soy tan amante vieja pero mis oídos ya no llegan a escuchar la frecuencia aguda que parece un mosquito en el infinito espacio. Dentro de mi colección polvosa los discos de ABBA heredados de mi mamá y los de Banda El Mexicano heredados de mi papá encontré uno de los que marcaron el repertorio de una línea de tiempo en mi vida. Estoy hablando de Jeff Buckley el joven que dio paso a seres depresivos y aferrados a la tristeza y si, estoy hablando de tu adorado Cris Cornell y el Tom Yorke, quienes lo nombran en su lista de música que los inspiro. 

Soy noventera soñadora y de esas que abrazaban la depresión al estilo Daría me desarrolle en los dosmiles donde Eminem nos tenía hartos con su doble personalidad y su hip hop blanco al mejor estilo negro y Caifanes acababa de morir para darle paso a los jaguares quienes llenaban de melancolía a esos jovenzuelos que se apodaban “Muluc Nocturno” y como olvidar a los hijos del grunge nirvanos a más no poder, pues dentro de todo este grupo de adolescentes estábamos los olvidados los de Jeff buckley. Para mí gracia, como GRACE su último disco, lo descubrí ya en los dosmiles más exactamente por allá de los dosmil diez, era una mocosa, nada que ver ni entender si sólamente me dejaban llenar los oídos con sonidos raros, alejados de la comunidad, Bjork era un gran ejemplo de eso, pero mis oídos eran hambrientos y solo Jeff buckley supo darle de comer a esa ansia.

Su maravilloso disco GRACE con una portada en tonalidades grises y púrpuras, mostrando al joven Jeff, sosteniendo un micrófono, una mirada hacia abajo, cubierta por la oscuridad y el contraste de la luz frontal, un resabio de luz  que  iluminaba la parte superior como un halo de tranquilidad, en blanco y casi flotando entre la imagen estan las letras GRACE el nombre del álbum, eso era Jeff buckley, bajos marcados acompañados de una guitarra como si cada una de sus cuerdas hubieran nacido para darnos ese sonido, tonos estilo gospel, romántico como Leonard Cohen, sus canciones melancólicas te llevaban a caminar en una ciudad solitaria su voz con un estilo caracteristicamente agudo y versátil difícil de imitar y que le daba esa originalidad solitaria clásico de los noventas, arreglos en la guitarra, percusiones tranquilas que suavemente te guiaban como si estuvieses leyendo braile, un poema en braile.

Dentro de las canciones más representativas del album GRACE, que en lo que a su servidora respecta todas las canciones son sublimes, abre con Mojo Pin que con acordes de guitarra estilo country del texano como hecho a media noche seguido de la voz melancólica de Jeff y percusiones marcadas en tiempos de ¾ pausas alargadas y requintos suaves entrando en armonía con la voz, una verdadera obra hecha con cuidado con respeto, Grace es el segundo sencillo que entra con un rasgueo tranquilo y remata con percusiones fuertes está es más estilo grunge la voz de Jeff es la que nos atrapa en esta onda de aire noventero con coros suaves y requintos más extendidos te lleva y te abraza después te regresa como si Jeff cantará en tus oídos, violines perdidos y derrumbados por guitarra eléctrica y percusiones distractoras seguidas de los coros tan bellos estilo gospel, ya con estos sencillos sabemos que amamos a Jeff el creador de este magnífico álbum que te hará regresar a los noventa. 

Lamentablemente Jeff murió ahogado en el río Golf de tenesse, tal vez inducido por alguna droga muy común en esos tiempos.

El álbum GRACE es uno de mis predilectos cada vez que quiero inspiración, está dentro de mi top 5 de obras jamás creadas, ¿Que música nos hubiera entregado en el presente Jeff, de no haber muerto? 

Atte

La última geuppie de Jeff B.

Say She She - Silver - this is a pleasant surprise, a nice 80s vibe that avoids that decade's biggest production sins

Say She She, the soulful female-led trio, stand rock solid on their discodelic duty with their boundary breaking sophomore album Silver. The three strong voices of Piya Malik (El Michels Affair staple feature, and former backing singer for Chicano Batman), Sabrina Mileo Cunningham and Nya Gazelle Brown front the band. Following the NYC siren song, the trio was pulled from their respective cities — Piya from London, Nya from DC, and Sabrina from NYC — to Manhattan’s downtown dance floors, through the Lower East Side floorboards, and up to the rooftops of Harlem, where their friendship was formed on one momentous, kismet eve. Silver was entirely written and recorded live to tape at Killion Sound studio in North Hollywood earlier this year and produced by Sergio Rios (of Orgone). While these analog recording techniques help root Say She She’s sound in a bedrock of tonal warmth that only tape can achieve, it is also their process of cutting the track in the moment and capturing the magic of communal creativity that has seen their sound described as “a glorious overload of joyful elation and spiritual elevation” (MOJO) and “infused with the wonky post-disco spirit of early '80s NYC” (The Guardian). Musical inspirations include Rotary Connection, Asha Puthli, Liquid Liquid, Grace Jones and Tom Tom Club. Ultimately, Silver oozes with quirk and adventure and embraces the multifaceted nature of what it means to be a modern femme. Say She She fully embrace their role as beauticians, actively reminding people of the inherent beauty in the world. They skillfully employ double entendres and humor to encourage open dialogue and fearlessly address important matters that demand attention.

When asked once about what made him different than anyone else, Lightnin’ Hopkins replied, “A bluesman is just different from any other man that walks this earth. The blues is something that is hard to get acquainted with. Just like death. The blues dwell with you everyday and everywhere.”

Lightnin’ was tremendously appealing for aspiring blues guitarists to emulate because his signature turnaround was relatively easy to learn, but it was extremely hard to replicate his sound because of his distinctive held notes, pauses, string bending, and shortened and lengthened measures. Sometimes, as bluesman Michael “Hawkeye” Herman points out, Lightnin’ “played it in triplets, sometimes as a quarter note, sometimes as an eighth note…. He knew how to play the same lick/riff forward, backward, from the middle to the front, from the middle to the back, from the back to the front … each effort creating a completely huge guitar vocabulary.” Ultimately, it didn’t matter what kind of guitar he was playing, acoustic or electric. “He just had this feel,” guitarist and luthier Sam Swank maintains, echoing the sentiments of so many Lightnin’ devotees. “There aren’t that many blues guitar players in the world that when you drop the needle on the record, anybody who’s anybody knows who that is. Lightnin’ Hopkins is one of those guitar players.”

Cuando le preguntaron qué le hacía diferente de los demás, Lightnin' Hopkins respondió: "Un bluesman es diferente de cualquier otro hombre que camine por esta tierra. El blues es algo difícil de conocer. Como la muerte. El blues te acompaña todos los días y en todas partes.”

Lightnin' resultaba tremendamente atractivo para los aspirantes a guitarristas de blues porque su giro característico era relativamente fácil de aprender, pero resultaba extremadamente difícil reproducir su sonido debido a sus características notas sostenidas, pausas, dobleces de cuerdas y compases cortos y largos. A veces, como señala el bluesman Michael "Hawkeye" Herman, Lightnin' "lo tocaba en tresillos, a veces como una negra, a veces como una corchea….". Sabía tocar el mismo lick/riff hacia delante, hacia atrás, del centro hacia delante, del centro hacia atrás, de atrás hacia delante… cada esfuerzo creaba un vocabulario de guitarra completamente enorme". Al final, daba igual el tipo de guitarra que tocara, acústica o eléctrica. "Simplemente tenía ese toque", afirma el guitarrista y luthier Sam Swank, haciéndose eco de los sentimientos de tantos devotos de Lightnin'. "No hay tantos guitarristas de blues en el mundo que, cuando sueltas la aguja del disco, cualquiera sabe de quién se trata. Lightnin' Hopkins es uno de esos guitarristas".
