art request! astral express gang being cute and wholesome :)

it took me a hot second to think of something for this bc my M.O is usually tragedy but I GOT IT -> I GOT YOU @chibiisanii

HC for the road: Himeko taught Dan Heng how to braid hair when he came aboard the Express, Dan Heng taught March, and March taught the Trailblazer -> so now, they all have nights where they braid each other's hair. It does not matter if they don't have enough hair for it, they will find a way. Boothill is forced into the circle even if he's only a 'temporary member' [read: he was very excited to join the braid train] and so is Argenti

Alright curious anon here. All this is /dsmp /rp from here on out unless otherwise specified and is refering to characters. If i make any mistakes or am misinformed please let me know! So by the cat was nothing compared to mushroom henry i was meaning more toward the fact that the cow was killed as a punishment for something not worth or ok for it to be killed for at all and the fact that it belonged to tommy, wheareas the cat was killed more to annoy dream and belonged to tommy. (1/?)

alright then another lengthy reply, here i come! /lh /dsmp /rp

Dream also did not seem to mourn the cat much, shrugging it off with a "just more motivation to break out".

it was killed to hurt dream, not to "annoy him". it doesn't matter who it belonged to, c!dream was attached to it and it died, which had an effect on him and also further proved his point about attachments being weakness and caring getting you hurt, and it's still very sad.

you say that it was not ok at all to kill mooshroom henry, but the cat's death wasn't ok either, so i really don't see your point.

again, i disagree it was "nothing compared to" either way. i never meant to compare them in the first place, i was simply talking about the cat and c!dream so i don't see why it is in any way necessary to drag c!tommy and other dead pets into this. /nm

also, it isn't true he didn't mourn it. he is a very reserved person who doesn't show his feelings much, that's true, but the cat death still changed the way he acted afterwards, as well as the attempts he made to prevent it. he didn't "shrug it off", he yelled about it because he was understandably upset.

You mentioned that propganda was used to make dream seem like a tyrant, could you specify a bjt? Cus im a little confused srry /gen. Because the most i can remember from the lmanburg era at least is him being called a b'tch or other similar insults. You also mentioned how trauma responses can be differet which is true! I agree! Do you have any ideas to what caused dream the trauma?

wilbur would continuously make him out to be some sort of oppressive, tyrannical force, in front of his troops - a prime example of this being the lyrics of the l'manberg anthem itself and the l'manberg declaration of independence.

actually! here's a nice thread about l'manberg's establishment complete with links, timestamps and evidence :]

i also said in my previous post what could've possibly caused it, but since the character intentionally hides his emotions from the public, it would be difficult to see how things really affected him - which is why the way his spiral went is the majority of the evidence that would imply it, however it does make sense within the story as well with what i mentioned last time.

I would like to note that for sapnap at least had reason to leave dream. Some examples off the top of my head are dream leading an angry fundy to sapnap's pets on purpose, resulting in some deaths, dream assisting tommy in burning down sapnap's effiel tower where he got engaged to karl, and dream giving tommy either mars or the other fish at the battle of the lake. Idk about george tho other then the whole mexican lmanburg/el rapids thing and decrowning him

c!sapnap was actually at fault for most of this, and it wasn't really ever betrayal on c!dream's part.

c!dream is a mediator and he wants to stop everyone's conflict - c!fundy was angry because of c!sapnap's actions, and hence it made more sense for c!dream to centre him on c!sapnap's animals instead of running around killing everyone's pets (at that time, all c!dream knew was c!sapnap did something really bad and c!fundy wanted beckerson / mars from him, which were also his and c!george's fish).

c!sapnap was an instigator, and in multiple conflicts during the time as well as before he'd align himself against c!dream. he isn't "loyal" per se, he causes chaos and the reason c!dream helped c!tommy was because, c!sapnap, again, killed his pet. the first l'manberg war and then the 16th are signs of the fact that c!dream and c!sapnap were willing to fight together in actual war, but these small conflicts where c!sapnap continuously picked fights weren't about personal loyalty, nor did they seem to affect their relationship at all.

c!george was never really hurt by c!dream either. the dethronement was him very obviously being a guilt-trippy drama queen, but, well, that's just the character. he had stolen the l'mantree while he was supposed to be the diplomatic figure of the greater smp, which is why c!dream was justified in - very politely, may i mention - taking the duties off of him (seeing as he was also trying to keep him safe and c!techno had already assassinated him once).

Im pretty sure i remember cc!sam stating that his character never canonically physically tortured dream during his subathon but take this with a grain of salt as i am looking for the clip currently. So to the best of my knowledge dream did not have a physical contact trigger during tommy's visit which! I rewatched the vod and dream actually was first to hit tommy and i can give you my full writing downs but 10/12 of the phy-

you never finished this point because you had to go do something, but i'll reply to what is here at the moment (i suggest writing these down before sending next time, or even writing them out wholly before sending a single one could help avoid stuff like this).

i am 95% sure that the reason cc!sam stated this was because people were suspicious he had already been doing what c!quackity was doing after - torture within the storyline itself is associated pretty much only with what c!quackity is doing, so that's what he meant, just to clear up confusion - the starvation or terrible conditions haven't been retconned, but it was direct torture (like c!quackity is doing) people were asking him about.

i never said c!dream had a physical contact trigger at all, i don't think he had that, though he probably will after the torture.

huh, ok, i'm gonna have to rewatch then, but i remember c!tommy punching c!dream a lot and him just telling him to stop and only punching back to get him to stop. trigger or not, getting hit isn't very pleasant, if you know what i mean.

You mentioned tommy stealing dream's armor unprovoked. Do you have the vod or a general idea of the time so i can find it? Like before lmanburg after another event so and so because if you do not have it i can find it but any help is appreciated.

i am pretty sure you can find the video on cc!tommy's channel! there are also recaps of the disc war on youtube :]

I wanna talk a little on why the Final Control Room was so messed up. For starters, with the way the room was designed. It was small, and had labeled, empty chests with each person's name on them as a mockery. The next reason is that its bascially a kill box.

It's fairly inescapble with the stairs being ones you have to jump up, slowing anyone who climbs them down. The final reason it is messed up is that it is shown to have caused every person who died in it trauma. With tommy there are several examples, the time he saw it with techno, the way he refuses to go near it, the exposure trauma, etc. Fundy also appears to have trauma, as when the Red Banquet executions began, it can be seen as him being afraid of dying last again.

It can Be thought as tubbo having trauma because he buries most of his issues and pretends to be ok. Moreover this event took at least one of each person's canon lives, making it the most canon lives lost EVER in a dream smp event. (This is not hate on any of the ccs btw i loved this scene and its one of my personal favorites). Plus the fact Eret's betrayal just literally happened, giving at least Tommy and Wilbur canonic trust issues.

i wouldn't call the chests mockery? it was a trap. people had traps on the smp before. it was a trap in the middle of war, supposed to end said war by killing them all at once rather than individually which would be a lot more bloody and difficult.

i agree c!tommy and other people might have post-war trauma, especially if they were young during the time, but i think that's because the final control room was "messed up", moreso because the war itself was. it all happened fairly instantly as well? i don't think c!fundy would be able to realize he was the last one standing within the two second before he wasn't.

it "can be thought" and it can be interpreted like that but besides c!tommy there isn't much evidence for them "all" being traumatized by the final control room. of course betrayal would spark trust issues, i understand that.

The probation was humiliating in my opinion because dream was Sending tommy anatgonizing messages through out the whole meeting, plus he had to write a review of his day every single day, which fundy mocked him for.

i mean, it was definitely a strike to his pride, but he was being extremely uncooperative so i don't really blame the other members of new l'manberg trying to teach him to listen for once? of course i know c!dream was riling him up, and that should definitely be considered. i don't think it would be as humiliating if c!tommy didn't make it, is what i'm saying.

for the tommy being toxic to fundy? At least for the examples you gave, to me personally they come acoross as either in a meta way being the cc's bantering or in canon being the characters having banter. If you can send the post with the clips so i can read the tone better that would be cool but if not i will try and find em.

no, these were all in canon. canon isn't only when c!tommy is being nice, it's also when he's being a jerk. /lh

the first one was him threatening c!fundy about kicking him out of l'manberg and undermining his self-worth, and the second one was him trying to get c!sapnap to vote for them via bullying c!fundy.

i found these from a transcript focusing on c!fundy's character, so i don't know exactly where the first one is from, but the second one i am pretty sure is from when the elections were starting with the whole cabinet battle deal and all of that.

there are other instances, and all of them are canon. his personality was never being nice or compassionate, so i'm not really surprised? he still cares about the people he cares about and is very brave, y'know. but this part of his personality is definitely a valid reason for people to dislike him.

I hope the exam went well :). Hope u have a great day! (Ps i think theres something called a submission box to send in pictures? Am not entirely sure sry)

it would've gone well but my work-speed is a tad too slow for the schooling system (considering i'm three years younger than my classmates,,, probably that's also a factor) so probably not despite the fact i knew everything and would've aced it if i only had more time. i did as well as i could so i'm not worried about it, but thanks!

i think you're thinking submissions. sadly, i tested it and it doesn't work on anons, so idk how you'd solve that, maybe make a burner account?

Curious anon here one point you may wanna include in the redemption essay is that c!tubbo or c!tommy do not necessarily have to forgive him. What's important is that he recognizes what he did was wrong (exile, beating tommy to death, manipulating them both, etc) and does his best to make amends. Hope this helps! Can't wait to see your essay

it's out, idk if you've seen it yet, and i think i included enough of that so hope it's all good! :)

the mcc update video is out if you are an mcc enjoyer. It's very neat, if you wanna check it out

yeah! i am a fellow mcc enjoyer, saw it already, thanks for telling me though, i'm really hype for today.

Allo curious anon here sorry if the lots of asks bother you. I was just curious if i could share an interesting post i saw today about c!dream :0 (not necessarily negative i think? More of a statement of an often-confused canon)

sure thing! i don't know what you mean by often-confused since, the entire fanbase is very confused always, and often selection bias plays into the perception from both sides, but sure :]

you also sent in a thing for the other anon who said they didn't know what c!dream did that bad; pretty sure they couldn't really be alerted since, not sure if they watch my blog that closely, but i'll summarize your points just in case and add some notes;

the repeated blowing up of l'manberg (in my mind that's largely a positive since i,, despise that country, but fair enough), revealed c!ranboo as a traitor (they seem to be friends so i also,, think that might've been planned between him and enderboo), sent ghostbur away (i don't think c!dream knew it was dangerous for him and wanted to actually hurt him, but idk), participated in fighting against c!sapnap when he killed people's pets (that's only negative against c!sapnap and didn't seem to hurt him much at all), and then the whole vault scene where he was allegedly planning to steal people's things (though saying he would & being stopped beforehand and doing it are two different things, frankly).

so i still agree with the other anon that a lot of the hurt he did "to the entire server" (he only negatively interacted with like,, a half of them) is exaggerated both by the characters and the fandom, but i guess that's a consequence of most people seeing him as a threat to everyone's happiness rather than a complex personality.

Also he was aware of the butcher army going to kill techno but only got involved because he saw an opportunity to get a favor. (As he knew in advance due to him telling techno to get a totem, watching from afar instead of interveing or manipulating tubbo out of it)

i don't understand this at all, i'm sorry. how do you know he only helped techno in order to get a favor? last i remember he was only doing it to protect and strengthen his alliance, and techno came up with the whole favor thing entirely on his own. you might've not watched techno's perspective or their prior interactions, idk, but this really is a misinterpretation in my eyes. /nm

sorry if that is overly dream negative i just wanted to let yall know cus you seemed unaware -curious anon

nah dw, i watch the smp and i watched all of these things happen so, wouldn't say unaware, but thanks.

[the-lightest-shadow]

Tell me about your ocs!

I got two people actually say they want it and a few more liking the post so here we go, in no particular order:

Takashi Shimizu

Male

His quirk allows him to change the pressure of water, allowing flow to increase or decrease in speed. Can be deadly if worked on.

Hero outfit is currently just a wet suit and cap. It has a logo that says “logo” in kanji.

Cheery

Made for an attempt at a collab classroom

Has artwork made

Ayame Togata

Female

Made as one of the two Big Three twins I made

Actually a villain

Is a villain because she, quote “wants people to fear her instead of respect her”

Has artwork made

Tomomi Amajiki

Male

Other twin

Also has an upgraded version of his father’s quirk. It can last longer and have more unique effects when he eats meals or combined foods.

A currently unknown to him combination allows him to see the future.

Is currently hiding the fact of being able to see the future because he doesn’t know what causes it.

Haruto Ueda

Male

Quirk allows him to manipulate clouds, including if they have lightning in them or not.

Hair is cloudlike, but not in the same way as our canon cloud boi who I’m forgetting the name of.

For the collab classroom

Has artwork made

Kaori Yamasaki

Female

Quirk is spider. She’s spider-like and can do things spiders can do. {climb up walls, produce silk from her mouth, venomous bite etc.}

For the collab classroom

Has artwork made

Mao Maki

Female

Quirk allows her to grow flowers on any living or once-living surface. If it’s an animal, it’s one that works with their personality or species. If it’s a plant, it’s the type they normally grow. They sting badly and fall off after a few minutes.

Very serious about becoming a hero.

For the collab classroom

Has artwork made

Sherley Zima

Female

One of my examples of “this started out as a planned self-insert but now she’s her own thing” OCs

Quirk allows her to manipulate the temperature around her. The closer to the center of her radius {her} you get, the stronger it’s effects. Unless you’re on top of her. Then there’s no effect at all.

She’ll pass out if she uses it for long. The effect will slowly dissipate in those instances.

Exchange student.

Is now part of the collab classroom

Has artwork made

Kumiko Hisakawa

Female

Don’t remember her quirk

Was made for the collab classroom

I really should try and remember her quirk

Has artwork made

Yuuma Aizawa

Male

EraserMic child

Quirk allows him to erase the quirk of others with vocal commands. Vocal commands are also needed to deactivate it. Can only erase one quirk at a time.

The vocal commands are along the lines of “stop”, “cancel”, and their reverses.

Mostly reclusive personality.

Didn’t discover his quirk until he was about 13.

Might change him to nonbinary but still using he/him pronouns

Kageko Yukimura

Demifemale

Self-insert villain made to ship with Dabi because shut up

Quirk manipulates liquids at the molecular level, allowing her to boil or freeze any liquid {that can boil/freeze} as long as she has physical contact on it.

Ultimately her goal is to kill 99% of all people who kill innocent people and any “heroes” that don’t kill killers or at least advocate for “this person should be killed ngl”

????????

He/Him

Villain that I haven’t given a name to yet

Has a horrifying quirk that’s a type of brainwashing that makes the affected person believe they were acting of their own free-will as they’re under it.

Activates with wrong answers to questions.

Yuu Ikeda

Genderfluid

Any pronouns but he/him are allowed.

Quirk allows them to quick heal and regenerate any lost body part, from skin to full limbs to even organs.

When regenerating, their frame can change, along with other things. The only thing they can’t change is their eye and hair colors.

Ran away from home because their parents weren’t accepting

Is a black market villain at the age of 11.

Keeps selling their own organs to stay alive

Is actually very kind and probably would’ve tried to be a hero if they had an accepting household.

Is one of my favorites

Hoshiko Kaminari

She/Her

One of three Denki Kaminari x Ibara Shiozaki kids I made because It’s my rare pair and I choose if they have kids!

Oldest

Her quirk is that she has electric fence wiring as hair. As a result, she needs an insanely high amount of iron in her diet.

Side effect to her quirk is that she’s immune to all electricity-based attacks.

Doesn’t know how to swim, and even if she did her hair would weigh her down.

Hair needs to be cut with wire cutters or similar, as it doesn’t stop growing unless she stops getting her needed iron.

Hair-wires stay live for about 10 seconds after being cut

Another one of my faves

Rai Kaminari

Male

Middle child, younger brother of Hoshiko.

Has the same quirk as his father, but can withstand higher amounts of voltage before frying.

Hinata Kaminari

Nonbinary

Youngest of the family, Hoshiko’s younger sibling.

Quirkless

Yuki Tetsutetsu

Female

Name is not written as “雪” {snow}, but as “勇気” {courage}

Don’t have another parent, probably just someone I’ll make later {unless someone else wants to}

Quirk allows her to make any metal she holds stronger and can be unbreakable with focus. It can still get knocked out of her hands, though.

If I have to explain who her dad is....

David Jerome

Male

Made for my AU story “Reborn”

One of the reborn individuals {you’ll understand what that means soon}

Quirkless

Was an American tourist at death. As a result, is Japanese isn’t perfect

Died in a car crash, along with his mother and father. Only his younger sister survived on their end.

Kind but quiet. Very supportive

Default emotions are fear and regret

Yuuki Hayashi

Female

Made for my AU story “Reborn”

One of the reborn individuals

Don’t remember the quirk I had given her, but it wasn’t an impressive or powerful one.

Died from anaphylactic shock

Default emotion is disappointment in self

Kohaku Mizushima

Agender

Made for my AU story “Reborn”

One of the reborn individuals.

Quirk allowed them to make a ball around them as a defense. It was hard to break and could hold in whatever was already around him as well. Couldn’t be seen through and wasn’t recommended for long use.

Died from... drowning... that may have been self caused...

Harsh, but very much protective

Default emotions are sadness and anger

Ryou

Male

Made for my AU story “Reborn”

Quirk allows him to resurrect anyone who has died within the last 24 hours. Upon resurrection, the revived {which he calls “reborn”} will have different colored sclera than before that relate to how they died in one way or another. They cannot die from the same thing again, and he cannot revive someone more than once.

Has a friend that works for the hospital, allowing him to revive random people easier than otherwise

Tries to keep is quirk hidden from the public because can you imagine what would happen if word came out about a quirk like that?

Whenever he picks a child, which is actually rare, he’ll take care of them. The previous three are under his care.

Is rich

Chaotic Neutral

And I believe that’s all of them besides Ryou’s friend, but he’s literally only named and given his job.

Any more questions? Maybe about individual ones? Send em here or here!

[mysynthfetish]

Moronavirus!

Just to be totally up front and honest with y’all, I gotta let you know that personally, I’m rooting for the coronavirus at this point. As a pal posted on Facebutt: “China virus will not kill anywhere near enough people to raise the average IQ of the planet.” I have to say I agree. Best of luck to you and yours, on with the synthing!

Impulse buy that I pretty much immediately regretted. I have a soft spot for string machines. I had a Korg Lambda a few years back. Probably shouldn’t have sold it. But I did. Saw the SK-15 for $100 on the auction and thought yeah why not? Not the worst sound by far, but given I’ll hardly use the organ section, and the synth section is almost as bare-bones as you can get, well, yeah it’s already sold. Seriously I think I had it a grand total of two and a half weeks if that. It’s in great shape cosmetically, and came with the flight case, but some of the buttons were stubborn so I thought I’d desolder them, disassemble and repair whatever needed repairing. Here’s what one of the ginormous button assemblies looks like:

Popped the business end off. And here’s one desoldered and discombobulated:

Standard tact switch right there bottom row, center. It was a quick job to swap the old ones out, but anyone out there wanting to do this needs to be sure to replace the switches with ALPS SKHCBFA010 as opposed to the better, sealed Omron switches because of this:

Look carefully and closely at the corners. At lower left you can see a 45 there yeah? Those indentations are what wee clips on the underside of the big button housing snap into. Omron tact switches don’t have those. Also, that white cardboard square plastered on serves a purpose, it ensures that the switch stays a certain height off the PCB. So you’ll need to carefully pry those off and stick ‘em on the replacement switches (double sided tape did the trick). After they were all done, two were still acting up. As far as I could tell, it was due to the way the LED sorta snaps into place, almost like the snap gets in the way and doesn’t let the moving part of the switch housing to return to its original position. If I had more time (and ambition) I would’ve probably given the inner part a light sanding on the sides that contact the outer housing, and that may have opened up just enough leeway for the switch to move more freely. But I didn’t. I did replace the dirty felt-like strips that surround the sliders, and where the hinged front panel rests on the keys, and that looks nice. Kind of a lot of elbow grease and TLC for something that spent so little time here. I do like to see things off in better shape than when I got them though.

It’s MFB Mofuggin’ Mania!! Feast your bezoomny grahzny glazzies on that horrorshow chellovek, O droogs. KRAFTZWERG!!! The Power Dwarf!!! Basically it’s the guttiwuts of the Synth 2 (which you can see there too), but with no memory, no sequencer, no “keyboard,” instead you get patch points. This thing sounds fat as fuck. Patching stuff on the KRAFTZWERG is like if you fed the Synth 2 a big batch of LSD. Madness!! I’m seriously thinking of selling the Polivoks now. Yes, it’s THAT good. The Polivoks filter is a whole different kind of insanity, but otherwise it’s a pretty sterile but very good sounding synth (only one LFO, no PWM, no bender or mod wheel) though the looping envelope bit is very appealing. Hmmmmm. Anyway, KRAFTZWERG!!!!!!!

And the latest in the MFB bunch is the Tänzbar Lite. Basically an MFB-522 with (drum roll please) maybe a few more sounds, less noise, a set of LFOs, and PARAMETER LOCKS!!! Yeah I totally wasn’t expecting that. I have an MFB-503 and that one saves the sound settings per pattern, which is a fantastic feature, but the Tänzbar Lite takes it a step further with parameter locks. The big drawback with it is the learning curve, and havibg to get used to some very counter-intuitive button press combos (you have to hold shift+play to start and stop the onboard sequencer....why it’s like this is anybody’s guess). Anyhow I’ve been using a Drumbrute Impact for a little while now, and while I LOVE the sequencer and I do like the general sound, I find the bass drum a bit flabby when the decay is cranked, and the snare almost totally lacks any punch at all (remedied with individual output and processing but that requires extra braincells, cables, and devices, and I just wanna get shit done already). And of course, no parameter locks, and no saving of sound settings per pattern (or at all really, it’s in perpetual “Manual” mode). So yeah, see ya later Drumbrute Impact. MFB for me. I’ve got one more special guest showing up this weekend, so keep a lookout for a new post soon. Until then, be well, but don’t be afraid to die. Worse things can happen.

“What you confuse for glory’s fire, is fire from the tongues of liars.” ~ Flyleaf Took a bit of a small break from working on Kishti’s portraits to put together my first attempt at drawing Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist. Though the mechanical arm ended being a bit crooked, it still turned out pretty nicely. This piece is also meant to be as a gift to the character’s english VA Vic Mignogna; for as of recently, he was attacked by a bunch of people on Twitter. Problematic people started to make a bunch of accusations on him being a pedophile, showing pics and videos of his times at conventions where he was giving touchy hugs and kisses without consent. Truth from himself is that he never wanted to make anyone uncomfortable by all means, he’s just a really affectionate guy who loves his fans. There are still some people out there in the community that want to take em out of spite with this #kickvic shpeal; Jessie Pridemore (cosplayer/actor) was one of the first to make the accusations, claiming Todd Haberkorn (VA and friend of Vics) raped her, but Todd striked back saying their relationship was consensual and that those claims were nothing but lies. I could say more about the whole story behind that, there are many videos on Youtube talking about it at this point and they explain it better than I can. ANN, Marzgurl, and Monica Rial however, still believe Vic should be put into his place. Yesterday Vic got fired from RoosterTeeth and got removed from anime cons in California because of those allegations, and its gonna get worse if things aren’t taken care of. As of now, Vic and Todd are currently taking lawsuits on those that have been accusing and are gonna work things in court to see if he’s guilty ’till proven innocent. I personally have only known Vic as a well known individual within the anime community for as much as I could remember; I’ve only got to see him once in a Q&A con panel, and when I witnessed how he was as a person, it really showed me that he really was the sweetest and most considerate guy you could ever meet. Telling stories about his heartwarming encounters with certain fans, sharing love to others, it’s stuff like those just really shows there are still good people out there in this world. Anime Outsiders and a bunch of truthful fans are still willing to stand for him with their #istandwithvic side, doing what they can to share he’s good as he really is. Hell, by the time I post this pic on my social media accounts, I’ll probably get attacked by a few of them. But I won’t let them stop me. I only wish poor Vic the best of luck in court and what he plans to do when all this dies down. ‘Till then, all we could do is call out those liars and watch.

Back to the piece for a bit, also made a couple alternate colored versions of it, this is likely gonna a rare thing that will happen to some of the pieces I make every once in a while. Wanted to kinda explore this idea of alternating the color tones so they’ll give off different feelings and emotion from one another.

CHARLOTTESVILLE

I’ve debated even writing this. You all know how I feel. I’ve said probably all I’ll ever need to say on the subject a year and half ago. I’m going to tell you the conversation my wife and I had Sunday morning. As she drank tea (me; Blue Bottle coffee) I told her about the white supremacist rally(s) held in Charlottesville, Virginia on Friday and Saturday, she had only heard bits… She was appalled. We discussed how people could feel that way, read our president’s pathetic “many sides” response to a domestic terrorist attack by white supremist's, watched the horrifying videos of a white supremacist's car barreling though counter-protesters killing one woman and injuring 34, and looked at the barreling car photo in the NY Times showing a pair of shoes on the ground (where a person used to be) while men hung upside-down in the air. It was seriously disturbing. She looked at me and said “ I hope you’re not planning on writing a General Journal about this…?  I don’t want to have my life threatened again, I don’t want to have out kids lives threatened again… this kind of stuff scares me”. I sat in silence.  I let her know I had begun dabbling with one a little before she woke up. She continued, “Berto, I was scared to go to your birthday bash, worried that some whack-o was going to bomb the place or do something crazy to you, or me, or someone else." "People know how you feel, do you need to add fuel to the fire?” And she’s right. I don’t need to add fuel to the fire. What happened to my family as a result of the “Racism In Metal” video was fucking scary. She’s not over it. I’m not over it. Hence, why I debated this. Even a year and half later, when I go out to most big metal shows, at least one group screams “white power” at me. I keep my head up, do my best to ignore them. And while a healthy fear of whack-o’s comes with the territory of being married to someone famous, no one “wants that”. Out of respect to her, I told her if I finished writing something, I would show it to her before posting asking for her blessing. She read this and said "go for it". So I’m not gonna offer my opinions on the events in Charlottesville. Instead, I’m gonna tell you a story about a journalist I used to know. His name was Onno Cro-Mag. He was a Dutch hardcore journalist / hardcore scene supporter /and co-owned a record company with Agnostic Front’s Roger Miret. He passed away a few years ago, but the mark he left on me was deep. And while the story is a little hazy to me 20 years later, I’ll do my best to honor the dead. I first met him on our 1994 tour across the Europe.  He interviewed me a few times, we shared a mutual love of the hardcore band Cro-Mags, (that’s Onno who comes up and sings back ups on our Cro-Mags cover of “Hard Times” in the Dynamo ’95 YouTube clip). Ya see… Onno was an ex-skinhead.  An ex-racist-skinhead. He was extremely open about that to me during our conversations / interviews and it always caught me a little off-gaurd.  Not in a bad way… but let’s face it, how many ex-nazi’s do you know?  It’s not the first thing you expect to hear out of someone’s mouth. He explained to me how he’d gotten caught up in some bullshit in the scene, at some point something serious happened, serious enough that it shook him out of it. He never looked back. At least in the handful of conversations we had, he looked back on those days with a brutal honesty and regret that was palpable. But he wasn’t apologetic about it, he was strong about it.  He fucking owned it.  It was a life-lesson that he never let himself forget. I gotta tell you, I’ve never met anyone quite like him. And it’s not like because he realized the error of his ways, that all was forgiven.  No, no, no.  He faced considerable danger from his ex-partners, he faced a considerable lack of trust from people who knew the “old Onno”. It bothered him deeply. We could all learn a lot from Onno Cro-Mag. We should all aspire to be so honest with our flaws. Because we all have them. We were/are all assholes at one (or many) points in our lives. I’m no exception to that. I look back on the person I was in my mid-twenties and think “who the fuck is that guy?” And if you change, someone will always be there to shove it in your face, the asshole you have been. Now more than ever, in today’s “gotcha” society someone is gonna try and say to you “LOOK, you were like THIS before!" I can assure you, as soon as I post this, some dickhead will post a 22 year old photo of Kerry King and I (from when MH and Slayer toured together in 1995), arms by our sides, walking alongside Jeff Hanneman and Gary Holt (both in nazi-salute), and go “why didn’t you write a song about these guys?!” Or say, “you’re a hypocrite for saying what you said about Anselmo!” That’s been the racist's rallying cry for decades, “how, if you’ve ever been racist, can you decry racism?”. Welp… Guess what..? That just ain’t gonna happen. And the fact is, most people are incapable of change. Once someones mind is made up, whether via political party, religion, whatever... it’s nigh impossible to change. It usually takes a considerable tragedy to shake ‘em out of it, and even then... But people can change. I don’t care if someone was in the nazi rally Saturday, if they were disgusted by the senseless death of Heather Heyer, and said “Fuck this shit, enough... I’m out”…. we need to be tolerant enough to respect that. A tad skeptical…?  Sure. As I wrote this today, I read a story about an ex-white supremacist named Christian Picciolini who started an organization to help people get out of the WP movement called Life After Hate. In a nutshell:  they are a non-profit created by former members (called “formers”) of the American violent far-right extremist movement. Their goal is to "work with individuals who wish to leave a life of hate and violence, and help organizations (community, educational, civic, government, etc.) in grappling with the causes of intolerance and racism.” In their own words, "Life After Hate works to counter the seeds of hate we once planted." Because on the flip side of this fiery topic, we need be non-judgemental of the defectors of that movement.  The Onno Cro-Mags of that movement, who wish to change, who want out, but fear they won’t be accepted by anyone other than their own. I’ll leave you with this. Saturday my buddy Sean Doolittle (ex-Oakland A's pitcher and current National's pitcher) was on a tweet rampage (he along with comedian Patton Oswalt were seriously giving me hope for the entire world). Amazingly Sean has not been silenced and regularly post provocative, thoughtful opinions on political land mines for subjects. Kudos to him for being such a high profile sports figure, and still letting his voice be heard. He tweeted: "People say, 'if we don’t give them attention, they’ll go away'. Maybe. But if we don’t condemn this evil, it might continue to spread.  This kind of hatred has never gone, but now it’s been normalized, they didn’t even wear hoods. It’s on us to condemn it and drive it out. There is only one side. Actual nazi’s just marched on Charlotesville, we have to come together and drive this hatred & domestic terrorism from our country. While it’s important to protect free speech, we have a patriotic obligation to condemn racism and domestic terrorism." - Sean Doolittle Links: https://www.lifeafterhate.org https://www.exitusa.org http://www.npr.org/2017/08/13/543259499/a-reformed-white-nationalist-speaks-out-on-charlottesville
