do you ever think about how all you used to draw when you were 10 was ponies and that you should still know how to do that, then get an idea and proceed to draw something like these in nearly one sitting and it turns out better than any drawing you've done in the entire past month

sooo anyway does anyone have cutie mark or pony name ideas for them?? lol

sumthin imma working on???

[vintagegeekculture]

I remember a friend of mine had some LPs that were Star Wars themed disco albums, and it brought back a very weird memory from back in the 70s (yes, I'm old!) of listening to a Star Wars disco mashup on the radio. What was all that about? I also remember something like that for Close Encounters, too.

You remember correctly, and this went on for a long while. In 1983, disk jockeys around the country played a record that involved an Ewok rapping the plot of Return of the Jedi in Ewokese. This made it to #60 in the Billboard Top 100.

This is hard to explain to people who weren’t there….but in the wake of Star Wars in the late 70s and early 80s, scifi was so beloved and mainstream that the orchestral music for nerdy scifi and fantasy movies about outer space were remixed and sampled into Giorgio Moroder-esque Italo-Disco dance numbers. And the most astonishing thing is, instead of being consigned to convention acts the way “horse famous” Brony dubstep acts are, this received national airplay on the radio, reached the pop music charts, and were played in discotheques. And incredibly, this continued for years and expanded from Star Wars into Star Trek, Wizard of Oz, Black Hole, Close Encounters���.

All of this was the work of one specific person: Meco (or Dominico Monardo). The term “ahead of their time” is thrown around a lot, but Meco really was: a combination producer-songwriter and Italo-Disco pioneer in the style of Giorgio Moroder, he did several things that are now absolutely standard: he used remixes and sampling before hiphop made that standard for musicians, he wrote “fandom music” on a Moog synthesizer decades before Bronies turned their conventions into cringey dubstep concerts with songs like “Everypony Dance Now.”

It's stunning to me that Meco has not been rediscovered, considering every single trend in the culture essentially went his way.

The most startling thing about Meco’s Star Wars disco album, the one that got the ball rolling on this trend, is this: I always assumed it was some kind of cash in created by a record label mandate, a label executive’s completely cynical choice to hop on a hot new trend. That isn’t a crazy thing to think at all, since Star Wars is and always has been the most merchandized and sold out scifi property ever. But it wasn’t! You see, it was all the product of a single man’s specific vision: Meco had to convince his record label to make the record because they were skeptical.

When Meco went to see Star Wars in 1977 on Opening Day (what an experience that must have been) with his friend and fellow Italian chest hair/gold medallion enthusiast Tony Bongiovi, he was already an experienced producer-songwriter who had worked with Gloria Gaynor, Diana Ross, and formed DCA, the Disco Corporation of America. If you've ever listened to Diana Ross's "I'm Coming Out," Meco actually played the trombone solo in that song. Seeing the Star Wars movie for the first time, though Meco thought the movie was nothing short of a religious experience. Originally, he wanted to do Star Wars music as a b-side on a Gloria Gaynor album, but expanded the idea into an entire album.

In Meco’s own words:

"When I think about what I did, nobody came to me, nobody said 'Meco, why don't you do this.' Nobody says 'Here's some money go make a record of this movie.' It was just my own... It was magical, it was just out of this world when all that happened."

Not only did this album hit platinum, not only did it actually outsell the Star Wars soundtrack, his remix of the Star Wars theme also went to #1 in the charts. It’s actually the best selling instrumental single of all time. A record, that, incidentally, it holds to this day.

Dick Clark, host of American Bandstand, had this to say about Meco:

"In 1977, Meco Monardo accomplished something no one else has ever done to the best of my knowledge. He was the first one in history to out-sell the soundtrack of a motion picture with his own distinctive version of a film's music. The music was totally danceable, and broke new ground. It's no wonder the STAR WARS THEME went to # 1. I loved his treatment of music from THE WIZARD OF OZ. Again, Meco created something innovative. The fun and the excitement gave a whole new feel to that totally familiar and well-loved music."

Like a lot of studio producers, Meco had an insane work ethic and hit when the iron was hot: he did an album about Close Encounters that exact same year, but also did a Star Wars Christmas Album, one of the strangest pieces of Star Wars kitsch around.

One of the most interesting things about the Star Wars Christmas album is that one of the songs, “R2D2’s Wish You a Merry Christmas” is the first professional vocals by John Bon Jovi, who was Meco’s friend Tony Bongiovi’s seventeen year old younger cousin (he was initially known as John Bongiovi). It's incredible to hear a squeaky voiced teen Bon Jovi on a kitsch album about a robot Christmas.

1978-1979 was really his best year. Meco made an Italo-Disco remix album entirely devoted to Superman, and at this point, Meco had the pull to get access to John Williams's sheet music for the score before the music even came out. In my personal opinion it's the best of them because he has to recreate it entirely with his own instruments, leading to a very unique sound.

He also did an album based on the Wizard of Oz:

And a combination album of Star Trek/Black Hole. It's probably the earliest remixing date of Goldsmith pieces of music: the Motion Picture Theme (which is now associated with the Next Generation - hearing it done in Italodisco is uncanny) and the Klingon Theme:

Incidentally, I think the design here of the Meco Enterprise, which had to be modified for legal reasons, would make a wonderful canon starship if anyone wants to be inspired by it. It reminds me of the same concept that would be used in the very next film for the Reliant-class of ships.

Meco eventually retired from music in 1985, but unfortunately he is no longer with us, as he passed into the next dimension in 2023. I think he showed us that creativity is often about transformation, and was inspired to make his art by a legitimate awe of space, the cosmos, and human imagination that the scifi movies of the 1970s and 80s provoke.

In all honestly, I have no idea what a furry is, and I’m guessing my takeaway of it was wrong.

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

The Equestrian Club finds themselves with an onlooker during one of their practices.

"Oh, Rollo-senpai, have you taken a liking to my horse? His name is Vorpal."

"Rollo-senpai, it is a pleasure to have you here, I hope you find the Equestrian Club hospitable."

"YOU DARE SHOW YOUR FACE AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO MALLEUS-SAMA!?!?"

Thoughts I had while writing this:

1) Sebek seems like he’d be a Brony

2) Sebek would call Rollo maidenless if given the chance

Don’t ask why I was thinking these things—

Like Fire, Hellfire.

"My, if it isn't some familiar faces," Rollo noted frostily. "I'd almost forgotten how rambunctious you all were. What a pity—I long to return to that peaceful bliss."

His gaze cut away behind his starry handkerchief. Rollo’s voice dropped into a hateful hiss—one he was certain only Riddle, Sebek, and Silver could hear. “Alas, this world will never know true peace so long as that wretched Malleus Draconia yet lives.”

Silver tensed, his eyes flashing dangerously. Sebek’s body moved sooner than his inhibitions did.

"WHY, YOU...!!”

Sebek charged at Rollo with a thunderous roar, fully prepared to deck him with all of his might. Collision with Rollo's face never came. Instead, Sebek's fists were caught by Silver's palms. The knights' foreheads grinded together, each holding their position and refusing to yield to the other.

"Stop this, Sebek!!" Silver bellowed fiercely, his expression deadly serious. "Rollo-senpai is a visitor and a guest to our school. If he has committed no wrong on our campus, we have no grounds to stand on to apprehend him. You would be considered the instigator!!"

"OUT OF MY WAY, SILVER!! That man has the NERVE to appear before us speaking ill of Malleus-sama and expecting no repercussions for his grievous crimes?! HE'S LUCKY THAT THE YOUNG MASTER IS MAGANIMOUS ENOUGH TO SPARE HIS PUNY HUMAN LIFE!!"

“Yes, he said something rude about Malleus-sama,” Silver agreed, “but you must find it in yourself to forgive and to be courteous. We cannot perpetuate this cycle of hatred.”

“NEVER!! I WOULD SOONER DIE MYELF THAN ALLOW THIS CUR TO GO UNPUNISHED!!”

The horses startled at the booming that was Sebek’s shouting. Distressed whinnies filled the grassy field, and mob students immediately rushed to soothe the spooked equines.

“I can see that you’ve done learned little about restraining your volume or your temper,” Rollo commented dryly, his eyes lidded in half in amusement, half in disappointment.

“I’m sorry. He’s not usually like this.”

Yes he is, the mob students thought—though none of them were dim enough to intervene.

“Sebek is really a good guy,” Silver continued, oblivious to his peers. “Please give him some time to collect himself and…”

“DON’T APOLOGIZE TO HIM, SILVER!! HE’S NOT WORTHY OF OUR SYMPATHY!!”

“Neither of you are making these circumstances any more easier to navigate!!” Riddle chided, stepping out from between the pair. He grasped Vorpal’s reins in one hand, guiding the horse to step forward with him. “You two, stand down. Leave this matter to me.”

“S-Sir!”

Both Silver and Sebek snapped to attention, saluting to the short redhead--their superior.

Riddle promptly cleared his throat. Vorpal snorted softly in greeting.

“Ah-HEM!! As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted… Rollo-senpai, Equestrian Club welcomes you. I noticed you watching our practice session. Have you an interest in riding?”

“Riddle-kun.” He bowed his head in an act of mock respect. “… I prefer it to flying. I partake in the sport back at Noble Bell College. Forgive my brazenness for observing—I was taken aback by how well-trained your steed is, and how well you handle it.”

“You have a keen eye. Vorpal here has been my invaluable partner since I first joined Equestrian Club. He is quite steadfast."

"Hmph, it takes well after its master." Rollo paused, casting a cold glance at Sebek (who furiously glared back). "Rather than training horses, don't you think your club would benefit from better training your members?"

Sebek bared his teeth. Silver put an arm in front of his underclassman, a warning to not engage.

"Of course," Riddle said with a tight smile. "We in Equestrian Club are always striving for personal growth and self-discipline. However, I will confess that it takes some of us longer to learn these principles than others."

While Riddle spoke, Vorpal stared at their guest with big, curious eyes. Rollo stared back, cocking an eyebrow. Soon Riddle was doing the same as him.

"... May I?"

"By all means."

Rollo extended a hand, gingerly placing it on Vorpal's neck. He ran his hand up and down, gently stroking the equine, who brayed in contentment.

"Vorpal seems to like you," Riddle said in surprise.

"WHAT!! The horse is a poor judge of character!!" Sebek declared indignantly.

There was a scoff from Rollo. “It cannot be helped. Is it any wonder that horses shy away from a shameless loudmouth such as yourself? They’re delicate, sensitive creatures able to sense impure souls.”

"IT'S YOU WHO HAS THE IMPURE SOUL!!" Sebek roared, clenching his fists at his sides. "If we're comparing the cleanliness of souls here, Silver has you beat by a large margin!! THE WOODLAND CREATURES FLOCK TO HIM EVERY MORNING!!"

He whipped his head to his fellow knight. "SHOW HIM, SILVER!! SUMMON YOUR ARMY OF FUZZY COMPANIONS!!"

"I don't think that would help... Besides, you know they can be skittish around you, Sebek."

Vorpal made a noise vaguely akin to a grunt of disapproval. Rollo shook his head and tutted.

"GGGGGGRGH! I'LL SHOW YOU!!" Sebek stomped toward Vorpal, thrusting a hand out. "COME HITHER, EQUINE!! ALLOW ME TO DEMONSTRATE THE FULL BREADTH OF MY AFFECTIONS!!"

That’s the most aggressive way I’ve ever heard someone offer head pats to a horse!! The mob students winced as they watched the tragedy play out before their very eyes.

Vorpal screeched in distress, a high-pitched whinny piercing the field. Beating strong hooves against the ground, he turned tail and raced away from the approaching first year.

“W-Wait…! I COMMAND YOU TO COME BACK!! I HAVE YET TO PROVE MYSELF AS A SUPERIOR COMPANION!!” Sebek called after the frightened horse. He pathetically chased after it, only pushing Vorpal further and further away from him.

Rollo sighed, disappointed but not surprised. “As I thought. Animals can be taught to be obedient—but I’m afraid the same cannot be said of mages. All you do is act and speak out of turn, causing trouble for others around you.”

“Excuse me?” Riddle suddenly frowned and crossed his arms. “I take offense to that comment.”

“Hmph, and what of it? I speak the truth."

"While it may be true of the newer students, it is the responsibility of their upperclassmen to shape them into diligent, responsible young men. As a dorm leader and a club captain, those duties, too, fall upon my shoulders--yet you just implied it's impossible to whip these students into shape?"

Riddle let out a haughty laugh. "I won't have you insulting my abilities as a mentor and role model. The Equestrian Club shall show you the fruits of our labor!!"

"Will you now?" Rollo's eyes narrowed. "And how exactly do you plan to do that?"

"Simple. We already stand upon a suitable stage." Riddle gestured to their surroundings. "You and me, let us see which of us is the superior rider."

"Oh, that's a great idea, Riddle." Silver smiled at his classmate. "Having a friendly competition is sure to bolster our bonds."

Friendly? No, there was nothing friendly in the intense gaze shared between Riddle and Rollo. The atmosphere had thickened with tension, taking a turn for the oppressive. (Silver didn't notice any of it.)

It's so nice that they're getting along, he thought, his smile growing. I was worried about them for nothing.

"... Very well, I accept your proposal, Riddle-kun." Rollo allowed a smirk upon his lips. "Prepare to be utterly humiliated."

autism rambles

headcanons i yapped to a friend (@herconfuse im so sorry buddy)

theres a shit ton, some tdas but most are metal family. also these are copy pasted from spacehey, in parts cause i hit the character limit. four times. if some make more sense reading them as a dm, thats why. im so autistic about this show bro.

tw for various types of abuse when talking about glam and his backstory and family, also superrr limited mention of sh there too

theres probably gonna be another part to this at some point

tdas: - mal acted like a villain for the show bc fans enjoy drama and on my LIFE chris is rigging votes based on fan popularity and who he personally likes. so mal was just being overdramatic so he could stay on longer. two steps ahead frfr (ok nikocado pack it up /silly) - vito x anne maria. idc that the show tries to make her look bad, those two are so cute and systems can date different people bro - mike x zoey, obv, but also svetlana x zoey. shes poly for her partner sys ur honor. also, bi zoey. and super supportive singlet zoey. idk i love zoey sm shes so sweet - dawn is pagan, probably works with gaia or some other version of mother earth - cameron is autistic as hell bro thats not even a headcanon thats basically canon atp. that boy has so much tism in him - B is transmasc (yes this is tdroti not tdas. shush.)

metal family: - i think dee listens to white girl music sometimes - he picked it up from ches, who would blare 2000s white girl bangers to annoy his mom during fights - gustav has been to prison and had his record cleared via shady payoff to the govt - mary was married to gustav via some sort of arranged marraige (possibly a forced taxes and traditional conservative values thing cause he absolutely would [i hate gustave with a passion]) - gustav died believing that glam got fully possessed by the devil during that one scene - glam gets nightmares about his dad and/or about becoming like his dad and hurting his wife and kids. his sleep schedule is still ass to this day - nobody knows the full extent of glam's childhood, not even ches - ches probably assumed glam's scars were self inflicted due to location, and he hasnt asked to clarify bc he doesnt really know how - hes absolutely noticed tho - lif and dee consider the rat their adopted son and his theme song is rats by ghost since they both canonically like that band - heavy prefers the metallica version of enter sandman, dee likes the ghost cover better - vicky listens to viking metal and aggressive sea shanties - glam would love chappel roan - ches would love sabrina carpenter - dee would unironically like taylor swift and would tell NOBODY - dee is not only a brony (canon), but also a furry. he has a fursona and a ponysona - dee would be a reality shifter but he doesnt believe it exists - dee does NOT like cats. heavy absolutely loves them. lif likes them, but also draws gore of them (not in an edgy way but she thinks the biology is neat and has an art style where it works) - lif sits in graveyards in her spare time

metal family part 2: - heavy is a theistic satanist, dee is an atheist (canon), lif is an atheistic satanist but likes theistic satanism quite a bit, glam is an atheist, vicky is a norse pagan, ches is in tune with the universe and just calls himself "spiritual, not religious" - dee writes fanfic - i love headcanons where dee is just an absolute fucking nerd cause its SO ACCURATE bro that boy is a GEEK - dee knows the basics of chemical warfare from his chemistry phase - he could and absolutely would nuke someone if he had good reason

metal family part 3: - dee is a controlled pyromaniac - dee steals from big businesses and never from small/independent ones, he taught heavy who only steals food (candy, drinks, etc) bc anything else makes him feel guilty - dee has a spacehey account - hes also very active on the dark web, and holds a paywall on hacker services for people - he has sent things to people who wanted him to hack for shitty reasons. by things, i mean animals. not alive ones. also, small pipe bombs that arent quite deadly but will still hurt pretty damn badly - dee will jailbreak people's school devices, for a fee - hes such a con artist except hes not cause he actually pulls through - his stalker thing with lif was purely genetic, idk how but it was (see: glam stalked vicky too) - both relationships are super healthy tho dwdw - heavy cant work the internet without dees help, but is very active online where hes allowed to be - dee is a dipper personality type, heavy is a mabel personality type, and lif channels bill cipher without the,, yknow,, pure insanity - that one pink haired girl whos name i cant remember is super nice but super sheltered from alt subcultures and queer people, think caitlyn from my creative writing class (ik you dont know her)

metal family part 4: - lif had a dsmp phase and was an e girl in 2020 - she also has a scene phase shortly after - goth isnt her only style but its def her main and shes super good at the makeup and also the dancing - heavy would pierce someone for enough money - dee would give people tattoos at school for money, but he refuses to do stick and poke so he cant (doesnt have a machine) - lif draws art commissions online - dee and lif are both huge creepypasta enjoyers and have loads of ocs - heavy knows the basic ones (jeff the killer, toby, ben drowned, etc) - heavy and dee would write and produce films with shitty production quality thatre somehow really good and post them on youtube - dee takes college level classes and is aiming for his two-year by graduation (omg look its ollie projecting onto his fav characters again) - glam is pan, dee is demiromantic ace, heavy is straight as a fucking board, vicky is straight but was bicurious at one point cause lesbians absolutely love her (anna has a one sided crush one her rip), ches is gay but doesnt date much anyways, lif is bi with a preference for girls (although technically she has a preference for dee) - lif had a pink and girl phase in elementary, complete with the justice and claires stuff - lif is a demigirl (our lif is transfem i think iirc)
