#dr henry killinger

[gnome-adjacent-vagabond]

Returning with more Venture Bros propaganda in the form of Dr. Henry Killinger and his magic murder bag, Brick Frog, and David Bowie. None of them play the roles that you would expect them to. Except Brick Frog. He's fairly straightforward.

I had a vision, bonus if you know where the Brock scream is from

[mouthmoodz]

it rules that the biography of henry kissinger by niall ferguson, which was approved by kissinger himself, mentions dr. henry killinger from venture bros

[noellevanious]

i think my favorite part of venture bros this rewatch is Dr. Henry Killinger

[n04s]

Okay. Actually this is completely wrong

Rusty's misery isn't because he can't live up to his father. Maybe in season 1? But at the end of that season he gives up all hope of ever becoming like his dad and passes the torch on to his brother, Jonas. Which imo makes him a happier person... somewhat.

Rusty's ACTUAL misery is because nobody loves him and he loves no one. He's too self absorbed to love anyone (and the closest thing we ever get is his fan club president...), not just because he's a narcissist but also because the shit his father did to him in his childhood was incredibly damaging and he was never able to move past it.

In the episode "Assisted Suicide", we get a direct view of Rusty Venture's mind, and, to me clearly solidified the fact that Rusty Venture has alters due to childhood trauma.

We first meet "Id", who is portrayed as a narcissistic child. This is the Rusty we see in most of the show. He has a collection of women that have all fallen for him. Yes, Rusty Venture DOES get laid (many times actually?). However, this part of him only cares about women as "trophies".

Next, we see "Ego". This is an adult Rusty, but he's too preoccupied trying to fix his child self from all the shit that happened. Focused on looking at the past, unable to connect with anyone while in his spiral of misery. His problems are only momentarily solved when the "trophy" women are brought in. Yes, this part of Rusty is equally misogynistic, and only sees women as "mother" figures for himself. We see this Rusty when he is at his most vulnerable.

Finally, we meet "Superego", who had been locked up in mind-jail. When the crew meets him, he says that nobody has needed him for a while. Also, he looks like his dad. Ring a bell? YES! This is the Rusty we have only seen in season 1, the Rusty that WANTS to be like his dad, who's CONFIDENT.....and who's also the most evil bastard Rusty of them all. Immediately after the main cast sets him free, Rusty has one of his most morally dubious episodes ("What Color Is Your Cleansuit?"), the likes of which he hadn't had since Henry Killinger tried to make him a supervillain.

Anyway. Back to my original point. Nobody loves Rusty. Except women. And he is so misogynist that he might as well be gay. Or maybe he is genuinely gay, but no men like him? Still misogynist.

His sons also love him, but children are not able to provide love to their caretakers the same way a true friend could. Plus...well this could get long but tl;dr he is the shittest dad imaginable.

He pushes away people. His rare moments of vulnerability are met with awkward silence and avoidance. He's utterly and completely alone, due to forces on both sides--internal and external.

costume ideas that didn't make the cut for the fangame:

really struggled with Marcie's costume for some reason. ideas included Dr. Henry Killinger, (purely due to the mask design hence it being scrapped, couldn't actually think of a good joke,) the Boognish (good alt rock joke but did not work as an actual costume) and finally a dual costume with the Spook as The Money Store album cover.

Considered doing Pusman as Judge Holden but wasn't fond of the idea of just illustrating my concept of what the character would look like as someone else's costume. Enoch wound up being close enough visually, anyway, but I do feel "that which exists without saturated fat exists without my consent" is a missed joke opportunity admittedly.

also struggled with Handy & Mandy. thought about various identical/split characters before settling on salt and pepper- i liked the idea of them not going as any actual people or characters and just arbitrarily going towards "things that go together" and being the only people there who aren't dressed as an actual reference to something. Zorn & Thorn from FF9 were a close second choice though.

Tammy was the last character i really struggled to come up with a joke for because there were too many but also a lot of them felt like they didn't really fit her? Sadako, sure, but that would basically just be putting Tammy in a white dress and dribbling some black food coloring in her hair. The best gag would've been the Kaernk from Amnesia but that's uh, invisible. so no.

finally, I also considered having Blue as N. Senada, but i didn't want to go completely self indulgent with Residents stuff since I already ripped a sample for the background music.

FUCK I FUCKING FORGOT BABY BIRD FUUUUUUUUUUUCK LIKE BABY BIRD COULD'VE BEEN A UHHHHHHH IDK A DIFFERENT TYPE OF BIRD OR SOMETHING!

Things I stole for my DnD campaign pt. 1 -

Dr. Henry Killinger

I've been playing TTRPGs for quite some time and whenever I'm DMing I often use tropes, ideas and sometimes whole characters from other media I enjoy. Of course I always modify those things to fit neatly in my game world and make sure those things do not break immersion. 

One of the characters I almost wholesale stole from The Venture Bros. show is Dr. Henry Killinger. Powerful supernatural creature equipped with his signature Murder Bag. 

I decided that in my game world a good doctor will have demigod level powers and will be a creature born at the same time the first mortal sentient beings were created. He was not born, made or created. He and his 8 brothers just manifested as a cosmic force of the universe. Each of them represented a different aspect of the alignment chart. For Henry it was natural evil. In the game world he is known as The Consultant. He has a lot of knowledge and experience gathered over the eons of his existence but he is not all knowing. He uses that knowledge to consult promising mortals with capacity for evil. He trains them, helps them figure out more tedious parts of villainy and build long term plans and agendas. He is not interested in world domination or senseless murder. His favorite clients are small-time villains with small goals and aspirations. Warlords that are interested in conquering only one city state, necromancers whose only goal is immortality, dragons that are more interested in kidnapping princesses than anything else and so on. Additionally Killinger have his Murder Bag. Black leathery variant of bag of holding filled to the brim with hundreds of magical and cures items acquired through the years. 

In my campaign he started as an advisor to one of the Baldie. Very friendly and helpful orc NPC that thanks to players' help recently acquired a large chunk of land and abandoned castle. My players met him on his vision quest and helped with killing a deadly sentient hydra that was tormenting the local population of goblins. After the whole affair goblins chose Baldie as their new leader and king (he was only present greenskin in the party at the time). After a few weeks my player decided to visit Baldie and check out his new domain and there they first met Killinger. He sensed that Baldie has some capacity for villainy if he would be pushed in the right direction. Henry decided to become Baldie court advisor and helped him with stabilizing his power over goblins and bringing little bit of order to those chaotic creatures. Not too much of course. He did not want to push them towards lawfulness. 

During his first meeting with the party he was as always polite and cordial. Yet somehow his presence alone made everyone feel very uncomfortable. Over the next months of the campaign a new villain appeared. Truly BBEG.  The Thin White Duke - David Bowie (my next post will probably be about him, I also stole him from Venture Bros. Kinda. It is complicated). Over the course of a few next months people of Arcan-Tau (continent of the campaign) were faced with sheer uncering chaos that Duke brought to their homeland. Undead, mutated orcs, giant hornets with human faces, dominic cults and many more. All without the goal, just in name of sheer chaos. For shits and giggles as they say. My players as the heroic sort were at the front of brave souls battling this chaotic menace every way they go.

He was a powerful spellcaster and master of psionic art.

My players as the heroic sort were at the front of brave souls battling this chaotic menace every way they go. 

Henry started to appear to them during their travels. Often bringing advice or direction. And always asking for monetary payments in return. Slowly but shortly my players figured out that he does not like Bowie at all and coordinated a lot of events behind the scenes to ensure his defeat in the near future. You see, Kilinger was not fun of too much chaos going around. A little bit yes, of course everybody loves a little bit of chaos. But apocalyptic levels of chaos were way too much for him. You may ask: “Why Killinger did not kill Bowie himself?”. He could not. You see he and all his brothers could not interfere in the mortal world too much. They could advise and guide mortals toward the desired path but direct interference was simply impossible to them. Their souls simply do not allow them to even think that way. They existed to guide sentient mortals. That's all.  And that's how uneasy alliance started between Dr. Henry Killinger (almost godlike avatar of neutral evil) and a group of heroic adventurers that found themselves in the middle of global level mess. 

Do any of you do that? Like still whole characters and modyfie them for your game world?

literally impossible for me to picture accord as anything other than dr henry killinger
