Hi readers! The next (and final) set up on our Sick New World stage is Turnstile! They put on an incredible show. With the hot Las Vegas sun beating down they pushed through and made the entire audience forget about the heat and just rock out. They put on a lively energetic show. Truly a remarkable band and experience. This is the last post from the Sick New World festival! We hope you guys have enjoyed seeing the photos and hearing about how each show was and all the different experiences this event provided. Let us know if you’ve enjoyed these posts below!

I'm sorry, but this Valentine's banner is creatively bankrupt. It's apparently impossible for a seasonal FE8 banner to not feature Ephraim, Eirika & Lyon, and then one or more of Myrrh, Tana or L'Arachel. I like all of these characters, but this is BORING. BORING BORING BORING.

(To quote a friend of mine describing what he assumed was IS's logic: "oh we gotta do Sacred Stones uhhhhh use the same four characters we always use and tag on Selena as a profitable Camus and then throw the F2P crowd someone no one gives a shit about.")

What about Gerick? Tethys? Marisa? Innes? Natasha? SETH?? Hell, it's been two years since Joshua got an alt, why not him? Or what about throwing a bone to Franz, Forde, Kyle or Garcia who aren't even in the game yet?

I'd celebrate a new alt for Vigarde, but he's the free unit....when his base form is a free unit!

Well, it's an easy skip for me at least. Good luck to those who are going to pull on it.

[darkflierliesel]

everyone on the magvel banner looks pretty cute (though i wish myrrh got the same artist as her legendary alt instead of That One yet again) but i would've liked more characters who don't already have multiple alts, like i love selena but she does not need to be here mooning over vigarde lol. one of the reasons fe8's my fave bc it has so many great familial relationships and i was really hoping for garcia & ross or tethys & ewan to make an appearance here, bah. i mean i also would've gone nuts for vanessa & syrene but they got in too recently lol and i figured they wouldn't put in franz & forde bc they can't leave out kyle and that is Too Many Boys. anyway i've got nearly 1000 orbs saved from barely playing aside from log-in bonuses and the bare minimum of event participation so i might try to get everyone bc they're still my darlings, and if i get the eirika/lyon duo i'll ofc immediately support them with ephraim/lyon bc do not separate them.

Well, I just spent a few hours on this. Thanks, ADHD Hyperfixations. Anyways, here’s the general ages I came up with for the Three Frats AU relative to the 3H cast’s ages in the academy phase. Some are canon, others are modified canon, and others are straight up vibe guesses. I didn’t include any of the shapeshifters on here since they���re up in the air.

31+ - Vaida, Renault, Saber, Valbar, Gregor, Basilio, Flavia, Volke, Reina, Yukimura, Shura, Gilliam, basically anyone old enough to have their own kids or just obviously older than 30 something 30 - Arvis, Uther, Oswin, Hawkeye, Deen, Miriel, Libra, Shinon, Azama, Arthur (Fates) 29 - Aida, Pent, Louise, Dorcas, Isadora, Harken, Karla, Zeke, Stefan, Izana, Emmeryn, Gerik, Tethys 28 - Claud, Bartre, Natalie, Mathilda, Kamui, Fredrick, Virion, Sigrun, Gatrie, Xander, Saizo 27 - Beowulf, Lucius, Canas, Farina, Legault, Clive, Robin, Say'ri, Bastian, Heather, Tanith, Ryoma, Kagero, Scarlet, Glen (FE8) 26 - Balthus, Arden, Hector, Rath, Leila, Geitz, Karel, Lloyd, Linus, Sully, Cordelia, Kellam, Lon'qu, Calil, Rhys, Camilla, Orochi, Setsuna, Niles, Nyx, Benny 25 - Sigurd, Eldigan, Quan, Naoise, Ayra, Lewyn, Chulainn, Eliwood, Kent, Raven, Matthew, Dart, Fiora, Python, Forsyth, Sonia, Chrom, Vaike, Stahl, Cherche, Zihark, Lucia, Hinoka, Beruka, Peri, Joshua, Saleh, Cormag 24 - Edain, Brigid, Alec, Jamke, Lex, Sain, Lowen, Lukas, Leon, Jesse, Sumia, Gaius, Tharja, Geoffrey, Oscar, Jakob, Effie, Charlotte, Seth 23 - Deirdre, Tailitu, Azelle, Midir, Erinys, Wil, Heath, Ursula, Palla, Maribelle, Olivia, Henry, Kieran, Makalov, Kaze, Azura, Natasha, Glenn (3H), Rennac 22 - Mercedes, Lachesis, Lyn, Florina, Luthier, Lissa, Aran, Nephenee, Felicia, Flora, Rinkah, Silas, Syrene 21 - Jeritza, Byleth, Sylvia, Serra, Erk, Priscilla, Tatiana, Conrad, Ricken, Elincia, Marcia, Astrid, Boyd, Leo, Takumi, Oboro, Hinata, Artur, L'Arachel 20 - Hubert, Hapi, Catria, Atlas, Ike, Fiona, Jill, Mia, Lute, Innes, Knoll 19 - Sylvain, Yuri, Leonie, Finn, Dew, Guy, Rebecca, Silque, Berkut, Rinea, Fernand, Donnel, Pelleas, Ilyana, Tormod, Hana, Subaki, Mozu, Erika, Ephraim, Colm, Niemi, Forde, Kyle, Lyon 18 - Dorothea, Dedue, Raphael, Lorenz, Hilda, Constance, Monica, Jaffar, Gray, Faye, Clair, Mist, Soren, Hayato, Vanessa, Tana 17 - Edie, Dimi, Claude, Bernie, Ferdie, Felix, Ingrid, Marianne, Ignatz, Alm, Tobin, Celica, Mae, Sothe, Laura, Sakura, Elise 16 - Caspar, Linhardt, Ashe, Annette, Nino, Est, Boey, Genny, Leonardo, Meg, Ross 15 - Lysithea, Petra, Kliff, Edward, Franz 14 - Cyril, Oifey, Amelia, Ewan 13 - Delthea, Sanaki, Shannan

--

You entering a trace and emerging with an age list of (I presume) every FE that you’ve ever played. It happens. I get it. (I do have to point out that Saizo and Kaze are twins, so maybe we split the difference on their estimates? 25? 26?)

Mostly however I am going to be thinking about the 13-year-olds tier. There is such powerful energy there. I don’t know what’s going to happen if you put the three of them in the same room, but I know it will be happening, and there is no force on all the continents that could stop them if they put their mind to something.

A good time was had by all at Nomad London’s incredible exhibition – Nomad Exhibits. Nomad, an incredible film production facilities house, opened their doors to art lovers last night with a special exhibition. Artists with work on display included, Alan Murray, Calum Sharp, Charles Inge, Ewan Jones-Morros, Fern Berresford, Franz Gall, Harry Hall, Jack Cole, Lena Brede, Lucian Trestler, Luc Janin, Mia Powell, Peter Lyon, Sarah Lim and Steve Reeves. The work was varied in style and a fabulous powerhouse of invention. Chris showed A2 versions of the end pages from Anfield Road. It was the first time Chris had shown his artwork in a gallery context. So Chris was consumed by pure excitement. Thanks to Yousaf Ali Khan who framed the landscapes. The countdown is on to the release of Anfield Road on the 29th October but you can pre-order now from the pre-order section of this site. You can also buy the prints that were on display last night at the Etsy shop.

[sacred-stanning]

Chapter 21 Part 8: Line up! Everyone, say your thing!

After defeating Lyon, the screen goes black and we get some words from the Demon King where it taunts Lyon for his failure.

(I've cut the images down because the totally black screen was reflecting my ugly hand.)

"You can't stop the destruction of Grado. You can't stop my revival."

"You only ever moved according to my will."

"You were nothing but my servant..."

"You couldn't save anyone, Lyon. How unfortunate!"

And then we see the Demon King!

"So you're the Demon King...

It's different from all of the monsters we've faced so far..."

"L'Arachel!"

L'Arachel leaps in from the right at the opportunity to talk about fighting evil.

"The final Sacred Stone we received from you..."

"Listen carefully, Ephraim!"

L'Arachel explains how they can't just pray to the stone to save them. The stone's power comes from the strong wishes for peace in their hearts.

"We must think of the future we wish to see!"

It's funny, I'd actually forgotten how L'Arachel's explanation perfectly sets up the classic, FE final map, everyone-there-says-their-bit-before-fighting thing.

L'Arachel just explained that they all need to wish for the future they want, so now we have an excuse for everyone to jump in and say a thing.

Ephraim starts, "This is the last fight. If we defeat that thing, it's all finished! Let's show the Demon King the power of people's wishes!"

"Let's finish this war."

(I hit A an extra time and skipped Franz by mistake. Sorry, Franz.)

"There's nothing to fear. We will protect everyone!"

"Everyone, let's finish this without getting hurt..."

"Hmm...let's all recreate the legend (of the heroes defeating the Demon King)."

"We will defeat our enemy. That's all we need to do."

"Don't give up until the very end..."

"Don't be nervous everyone. Relax..."

"...I'll try my best."

"So that's the Demon King. There is some information about it in the 'Legend of the Demon King'."

(Lute brought a pen and paper and is furiously taking notes on various features of the Demon King now while everyone else is trying to motivate their allies.)

"For the sake of righteousness and order! I, L'Arachel, will defeat you!"

"Is everyone ready? Let's do this!"

"Don't think that you can seal me away..."

Next time: One little detail we forget to mention...

Old Vienna

Anno 1945

(1945/ÖNB/Wiki)

1742-45 ließ Maria Theresia für ihren engen Freund und Berater Don Emanuel Teles da Silva Conde Tarroucca das Palais Taroucca errichten. Architekt war Mauro Ignazio Valmaggini. 1792 mussten Albert und Marie Christine aufgrund von Krieg und Revolution aus Schloss Laeken in den Österreichischen Niederlanden, wo sie als Statthalter fungierten, flüchten. Zurück in Wien, benötigte das Paar eine standesgemäße Unterkunft, woraufhin Kaiser Franz II. ihnen 1794 das Palais auf der Augustinerbastei – die heutige Albertina – schenkte.

Albert ließ das Gebäude zunächst für seine Grafiksammlung und die Bibliothek adaptieren und in der Folge durch einen Repräsentationsflügel (zwischen 1802 und 1804) erweitern. Die 150 Meter lange Fassade demonstrierte dem nebenan in der Hofburg residierenden Kaiser eindrucksvoll die finanzielle Potenz und das Selbstwertgefühl des Herzogs. Die mitgenommenen Ausstattungsstücke aus Schloss Laeken wie Möbel, Fensterläden und Wandvertäfelungen wurden in die neuen Prunkräume integriert. Seidenbespannungen aus Lyon, kunstvolle Intarsienböden und vergoldete Kristallluster ergänzten das prächtige Erscheinungsbild.

Nach schwerem Bombenschaden (1945) wurden Palais und Anlage verändert (Teile des Inneren neu gestaltet, Fassadengliederung verändert, Albrechtsrampe verkürzt und durch eine Stiege ersetzt, Albrechtsbrunnen verkleinert (seit 1989 weitgehende Wiederherstellung des ursprünglich Zustands)). 1996 bis 2003 erfolgte eine tiefgreifende Restaurierung des Gebäudes.

GRAN FIESTA PUNK: TURNSTILE ANUNCIA SHOW EN ARGENTINA

TURNSTILE, el quinteto de Baltimore que pone al punk en la lista de éxitos desde hace casi una década, estará trayendo su particular sonido hardcore al Teatro Vorterix con su primer show solista en el país en el marco de su gira “Latin America 2024 Tour”.

Desde que TURNSTILE lanzó su EP de lanzamiento Pressure to Succeed en 2011, le llegó una nueva vida al punk y pasó lo inimaginable: la banda puso el hardcore, subgénero más aguerrido del punk, en el mainstream, dejando entrar con maestría diversas influencias sonoras de los más variados géneros. Luego de una primera presentación inolvidable en Argentina en el marco de Lollapalooza 2022, TURNSTILE confirma su primera fecha en solitario en el país, el sábado 13 de abril en el Teatro Vorterix, con producción de DF Entertainment.

Lo de TURNSTILE es un fenómeno único en su especie: la banda de Brendan Yates (frontman, teclados y percusión), Pat McCrory (guitarra, coros), Franz Lyons (bajo, percusión, coros) y Daniel Fang (batería y coros) ha logrado ampliar las bases de fans del hardcore mucho más allá que cualquier otra banda moviéndose a contrapelo de los géneros más de moda y lo que sugerirían los algoritmos. La apuesta del quinteto oriundo de Baltimore, Estados Unidos, fue precisamente la de abrir un nuevo capítulo en la historia del género: con TURNSTILE, el punk evoluciona transgrediendo las fronteras del género y bebiendo de las aguas del pop experimental, el soul, el R&B y hasta la música dance.

Con tres discos de estudio de excelente recepción crítica que despertaron cada vez más furor entre los fans, TURNSTILE viene de un 2023 donde reimaginaron algunas canciones de Glow On (su disco de 2021) junto a Badbadnotgood en New Hearts Designs, un EP exquisito que acompañaron de un videoclipcon dirección Alex Henery lleno de material filmado en vivo, ideal para ir calentando motores de lo que se vivirá en Vorterix.

La gira internacional que los trae los encontrará, además de en Buenos Aires, en distintas ciudades de México, Colombia, Perú, Brasil y Chile. Cita imperdible para los amantes del rock: es la oportunidad de ver a uno de sus máximos exponentes actuales, una formulación impredecible, original y de una energía única, para sacudir cabezas en cada riff y saltar con los compases del eximio baterista Daniel Fang.

Las entradas se podrán conseguir en preventa Santander American Express el próximo martes 12/12 a las 10 am a través de AllAccess, en 3 cuotas sin interés. La venta general, con todos los medios de pago, comienza el miércoles 13/12 a las 11 am.
