OMG one of my favorite songs is "I'm the Music Meister" and I'd love to see Jesse sing it.

Hehehehe…

Soo-Yeon: Then it sounds to me like it's time to rumble!

Genevieve: Indeed, but it is you who will take the tumble... *She slaps a hand over her mouth*

Brecken: I'm sorry, darlin’, but did you just sing that?

Genevieve: Of course I did not! Wait, yes I did!

I'm sounding shrill against my will, and cannot stop this singing!

Margo: And in my ears, I swear I hear a quite distinctive ringing!

Parker: This silly game is very lame, and someone's gonna pay!

Anthony: An unknown force, but where's the source that has us in its sway?

Candace: Who is doing this to us? And on this, we must concur;

Villain Kids: They're dastardly, despicable, disturbingly inexplicable...

Petra: And imminently kickable!

All: That dirty, rotten rat is...

*Jesse, with a dramatic flourish, appears and belts-*

Jesse: The Music Maestro~!

*The heroes and villains, stunned for a moment, face their new common enemy and unseath their weapons*

Jesse: Put down your arms, my friends, your arrows, guns, and swords.

*Against their will, they drop their weapons and stop using their powers*

Your resistance to my charm now ends, when I belt these power chords!

*The villains of the class, Ayesha, Candance, Eri, Staci, Margo, Brecken, Soo-Yeon, Parker, Eloise, and Anais, completely under Jesse’s control, follow him in a dance number as he takes Anthony into his arms and brings him down for a dip*

Good guys or bad guys, it doesn't really matter;

You are all just slaves to my hypnotic patter!

As I regale you with my story, you'll know you have no choice,

But to do my evil bidding, when you hear this booming voice!

Oh, I'm the Music Maestro!

All: He's the Maestro!

Jesse: And everyone just fawns!

All: He's the Music Maestro, and we are all his pawns!

Jesse: And so for me, it's destiny to be the maestro of villainy!

Yes I'm the Music Maestro, and I'm here to settle the score!

You see, I’ve grown quite tired of playing second fiddle and not being taken seriously as a villain just because of my power. And now that I've established who's in charge...GET TO WORK!

*Zoé, clad in her gear, surveys her fellow schoolmates performing choreography while doing Jesse’s bidding. Staci, with her eye beam, cuts holes through the windows of jewelry stores and banks. Brecken multiplies himself and starts stuffing bags full of valuables … All while dancing*

Zoé: Well… There’s something you don’t see everyday.

*Jesse’s voice turns somber as he recalls when he was younger and sang in the school choir. It was his passion, his first love… And he was made miserable for it*

Jesse: The bullies used to pick on me because I sang in choir,

But something very strange occurred when I kept singing higher!

*His voice becomes lively once more. Smirking, he remembers how he made his first set of puppets do his bidding, and he ruled over that pathetic school with an iron fist!… Then he was stopped by none other than a certain pesky blonde*

The ruffians around me quickly fell into a trance,

And it was then with wicked glee I made those puppets dance!

*She never stopped him from continuing his crime spree, though. And there’s no way she’ll be able to stop him now*

I'm the Music Maestro!

All: He's the Music Maestro!

Jesse: And everyone just fawns!

All: He's the Music Maestro, and we are all his pawns!

Jesse: I'm the Music Maestro! Crime became my path!

Anthony: He's the Music Maestro~

*Jesse suddenly finds himself captivated. He listens closely to find which one of his puppets possesses that heavenly voice, and finds him, the ebony-haired boy in the dark cloak*

Anthony: And we must beware his wrath!

Jesse: That voice!… Beautiful! Aa~aah!

Anthony: Aaa~aaah!

*Jesse and Anthony exchange pitches, belting the notes louder as Jesse leads Anthony in a waltz*

Jesse: Aaaa~aaaaah!

Anthony: Aaaaa~aaaaaahh!

Jesse/Anthony: Aaaaaa~aaaaaaahhhh!

Zoé: The bastard! His voice can hit a pitch that hypnotically controls anyone who hears it! *After putting in a pair of ear plugs, she leaps down from the rooftops and confronts Jesse* This concerto of crime is over!

Jesse: Ah, the Blonde Wonder herself! I'm sorry, but my work's not quite done yet! *With his other arm wrapped around Anthony, he aims and shoots energy blasts from his conductor’s baton at Zoé, who expertly dodges each time*

You better tow the line you see, because your wills belong to me.

*In sort of a Grease fashion, the heroes and villains rhythmically snap their fingers and stalk toward Zoé*

And now my friends, you have the chance... To show Robin how well you dance!

*The villains and heroes engage in some sort of dance fighting. Zoé is able to fend off against most of them since their punches and kicks aren’t as effective when under Jesse’s influence, but Eri, Mona, and Anthony’s powers catch her off guard for a moment, and she finds herself entangled in one of Anais’ gadgets. Jesse, meanwhile, watches all of this from the rooftops. Seeing that Brecken’s clones have gathered all of the valuables, and he smirks*

Jesse: And now that Robin’s been delayed, your usefulness has passed!

A distraction is what I need, so kick into that blast! *Vocalizes*

Oh, I'm the Music Maestro! I cannot help but boast!

All: He's the Music Maestro, under his spell we're toast!

Jesse: I'm the Music Maestro, I've won the day, now I must fly!

I'm the Music Maestro, and I'm here to settle the score!

*With Anthony still hypnotized, he takes his hand and kisses it*

Jesse: Until next time, my dear.

*With the same theatrics as when he arrived, he disappears into the night, and so do the jewels and cash he had stolen. The villains and heroes soon find themselves no longer under his control. Anthony, startled by his sudden change of location, loses his balance and falls right into Candace’s arms

Parker: … What the hell was that?!

Singing My Life With His Words

Synopsis: Christine's parents are gone for the weekend, and it brings an unexpected guest to her door.

@mayameanderings @floof-ghostie @calciumcryptid @biandbored

Chicago was a beautiful city, Darius had to admit. It reminded him of a colder version of West Baton Rogue. As much as would've loved to take a nice tour of the city and see what it had to offer, he was only here for one purpose: his love. Amazing how easy it was to get his hands on Christine's information using her driver's license.

Christine hummed to herself as she cleaned the dishes. Soft music played from the living room. With her parents away, responsibilities of the house fell on her. Not that she minded, though, since she was only living with them until she found a good place in Central City. Afterwards, she'd pack her things and head out.

As she finished the last of the dishes, a familiar song came on.

"Strumming my pain with his fingers. Singing my life with his words. Killing me softly with his song."

The song was a personal favorite of Christine's ever since she was young, but tonight it hit different for some reason.

Christine hugged herself like there were a pair of arms wrapping around her and holding her to a strong chest. Cologne lingered, filling her senses. Silky hair brushing against her face.

She was thinking of him again.

During their last encounter, he was hiding from the authorities but still found the time for a romantic rendezvous with her. Sometimes she wanted to know just exactly who he was before he became the Music Meister.

Darius...

Sighing, Christine prepared to retire for the night. As she passed by the window leading to the fire escape, a voice from outside filled her ear.

"Strumming your pain with my fingers. Singing your life with my words. Killing you softly with my song. Killing you softly with my song. Telling your whole life with my words."

Christine gasped as she pushed back the curtains. "Darius?!"

Darius smirked, taking a bow in the process. "The one and only, doll."

"What are you doing here?" Christine asked while letting him in. She hadn't even told him where she was from nor where she lived. Part of her wondered if she should change out of the lacy nightgown and into something more modest.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm here to see you." He took her hand in his, planting a kiss to her knuckles. "This is a nice place you've got."

"It isn't mine. My parents are away for the weekend." It always made Christine a little woozy how much taller Darius was than some of the men she encountered before. "I wouldn't steal anything if I were you. My mama will know and she don't care if you're the maestro of villainy."

Darius smiled. "Wouldn't dream of it."

"I wanna know something, Darius."

"Anything."

"Why did you become the Music Meister?"

The two were sitting on Christine's bed. Darius went silent, worrying Christine. Darius liked to talk, to boast. He prided himself on talking the talk and walking the walk. Never was he silent.

Bad idea, she thought to herself.

"Sorry if that's-"

"I used to be a star," Darius spoke. His voice was full of solemn. "I had the best career in the world. Movies, TV shows, but most importantly: the stage. Just like my mother, grandmother, and grandfather once did."

"I can imagine you were the best actor on Broadway and beyond," Christine said.

"Not just the best, I was the king. Everyone knew my name. They loved me. But that was all a facade to hide what was really going on. I was being used."

Christine's eyes went wide. "Used?"

"Yes. I'd been rejected many times because I was blind but that never deterred me. Eventually I was discovered by a man named," venom filled Darius's voice as he said the next part, "Walter Shelby."

Christine felt like she'd been stabbed. In the past, she'd worked at a few of Shelby's clubs as a performer. He always seemed so nice, especially to her...

"Mr. Shelby?"

"Yes. When he heard me sing, he just had to get me, promising me fame and fortune if I signed on with him." Darius balled his fist. Some nights, he thought about where he'd be if he never accepted the offer. "Foolishly, I fell for it. He kept his promise only to use it to destroy me. Him and his lackeys."

Christine squeezed his hand as Darius talked about his exploitation at the hands of Walter Shelby. She couldn't even begin to imagine how betrayed he must've felt. All his hard work gone to waste in a second. It also made her look at Shelby differently despite the many kindnesses he showed her.

Suddenly, Darius turned deathly serious. "Don't let his smile fool you, Christine. He'll exploit you until you're useless to him. Afterwards, he'll throw you to the wolves."

"I won't-"

"No, you don't understand. I don't kill people, but I will if he even stole as much as a penny from you."

Christine didn't know what to say. She didn't want Shelby, for all his bad behavior, to be killed nor did she want Darius to kill anyone, especially in her name.

"I...okay."

"Now then," Darius stood up. "I'm thirsty and hungry! Got anything I can make?"

"C-check the fridge," Christine mumbled, still trying to process what Darius said to her. She looked at him as he walked out her room.

It was amazing the duality of man. How he could switch from one emotion to another in the blink of an eye and leave her with more questions. How Darius made her question everything she thought she knew about the industry she worked in, and the people she encountered.

Weekend Top Ten #648

Top Ten Actors Who Could Return to the MCU But as a Different Character

I wasn’t going to bother doing “stuff that happened at SDCC” because whilst Transformers winning an Eisner was cool, and Doctor Who and Star Trek sharing a panel was fun, really the only thing that I took away from the weekend was the frankly Earth-shattering news that Robert Downey Jr. was returning to the MCU, except playing Doctor Doom and not Iron Man. I mean, whaaaa, am I right?

This is one of those decisions that’s simultaneously incredibly exciting but also sort of worrying if you’re a fan of the franchise and want it to keep on being successful (and let’s face it, at the time of writing Deadpool & Wolverine has made about $700 million worldwide in just over a week, so that’s definitely successful). On the one hand, Downey is an excellent actor – who just won an Oscar, for crying out loud – and more than capable of presenting both the snarling villainy and complexity of Victor von Doom. On the other, bringing back the guy who was essentially the Face of Marvel for over decade could be seen as reaching for the “in case of emergency break glass” hammer; similarly, it opens up potentially knotty (and potentially boring) discussions over variants and parallel worlds and what have you. Also, presumably it indicates that this Doom isn’t going to stick around past 2027’s Secret Wars, meaning we’re either getting the best baddie Marvel has to offer for only two huge event movies, or else they’re going to do a mini-reboot and recast again.

So yeah, pros and cons, really.

But it got me thinking: if the biggest name the MCU ever had to offer is ready to come back to the fold after a definitive death scene (spoiler alert for one of the biggest movies of all time), who else could make a similar cinematic U-turn? Not the triumphalist return to a beloved character that Hugh Jackman has so adroitly pulled off; I’m talking about recasting someone who was notable as someone else. If Downey can be Doom, who else can be someone else?

So that’s what that list is about, then. And just before we get into it, I’m gonna say one more thing, but I’m gonna bury it below the line, as it were.

Still with me? Good.

I’m about to spoil something from Deadpool & Wolverine.

See, it’s funny this news breaking just as D&W is released, a film which (MASSIVE SPOILERS INCOMING!) features Chris Evans returning to the MCU not as Steve Rogers but as Johnny Storm, the character he played in the two Fantastic Four films about twenty years ago. So if the two biggest dudes in the whole cinematic universe are up for this, maybe the rest of these nutters will be as well…

Whatever it takes, right? “It” of course meaning in this case “$200m domestic opening weekend”.

Scarlett Johansen: I would say that of the Avengers no longer on the board she’s the only one unaccounted for, and the biggest name to boot. I feel like Black Widow is definitively dead. So who could she be? I’m tempted to say an alternate Captain Marvel, but truth be told we’ve had a lot of sort-of Cap variants. So my suggestion is Jocasta, the android girlfriend of cool Kirby creation Machine Man. It could be an amusing hat-tip to her AI trubs, as well as letting her come back in a slightly different guise (she could be performance capture, like James Spader in Age of Ultron).

Edward Norton: come on, this would be hilarious wouldn’t it? Wouldn’t it? Thing is, I don’t know if he’d want to do it. Whilst I think Norton has more of a sense of humour than it sometimes appears (witness his turns in Birdman, Glass Onion, and – yes – Sausage Party), I wonder if too many bridges were burned when he played Bruce Banner. I think a cool role for him would be Maestro, the evil future Hulk; again, he’d be CG so it would obscure his face a bit, but it might be nice to see him act while hulked out rather than just smash.

Hugo Weaving: again we have another actor who I don’t think would come back; but maybe he could be persuaded. I think it would have to be a role devoid of prosthetics, and one that allowed him to cut loose either with genuine drama or at least Agent Smith-style theatrical delivery. I’m tempted to say he’d make a pretty cool Professor X, but I actually think he’d nail it as the Marvel version of Dracula (who really actually is a Marvel Comics character).

Cate Blanchett: she was amazing as Hela, both scary and funny and incredibly powerful. Whilst she left a big impression, Thor: Ragnarok was far more focused with the weird comedy of Thor, Banner, and Valkyrie. I’d like to see her as some higher-order being; perhaps the Living Tribunal? A role that allowed her to channel all that Galadriel energy and give us a more benign MCU presence.

Jeff Bridges: he was there at the beginning, gave us one of the most definitive, iconic lines in the entire sixteen-year, thirty-three-film franchise (“box of scraps”!)… and then, no more. I’d like to see him return on the side of the angels. He’d have made a good Uncle Ben, really, but he’s too old now I guess. I think he should lean into that True Grit side of himself and play a Western hero, such as the Phantom Rider. Perhaps with a twist, where he’s old and gone to seed a little bit, but redeems himself over the course of a movie.

Rene Russo: she was great as Frigga, although obviously very underused; she really just has her cool death scene and her awesome advice to Thor (“I see with more than eyes” is a badass line). If Madam Web hadn’t have happened she’d have been a good Madam Web… but right now I think she should, like Blanchett, be elevated to a higher order. I think she should play Death. Give her a skull face if you like; but the paramour of Thanos (in the comics, at least) would be a terrific role.

James Spader: he gave a tremendous performance as Ultron – and, of course, we didn’t see his face. Short of cameoing as a variant of Stark (which would be funny), I’d like to see him use that fantastic voice of his as a more comics-accurate version of William Stryker; rather than the military man played by Brian Cox (and, like, nine other people), this would be the reverend of God Loves, Man Kills, preaching mutant extermination as the will of God. I think maybe making him something of a quasi-Trumpy televangelist type would bring the character up to date.

Angela Bassett: I still don’t think she should have died! Maybe if she comes back to the MCU they’ll finally give her an Oscar? Anyway, everyone’s favourite Wakandan Queen should be given another bite of the super-cherry. And, like the other Queen on the list, Rene Russo, I want her to go a bit bad. How about if she’s Nightmare, the villain everyone keeps waiting to see in a Doctor Strange movie? Or if you just wanted her to pop up for one fan-pleasing cameo, fulfil the wish of every comic fan in the nineties and make her an alternate Storm.

Tony Leung: Leung was masterful in Shang-Chi, and although he got quite a bit to do, I’m still a bit disappointed at his final scene – and the fact we’ll never see him again. If he was coming back for good, then a really nice supporting role – maybe just a civilian or something, someone who’d pop up across films but basically just be a nice guy. If it’s just one cameo role, though, I’d go for a variant of Iron Fist; a much older version, obviously, maybe from a darker timeline that makes him even more badass.

Michael Keaton: at the bottom of the list basically because I don’t really know where he stands at the moment in the MCU; all the other characters these actors played are definitively dead. What happened to the Vulture? Did he randomly fall through a portal and land in the Morbius-verse? If so, poor sod; that’s a fate worse than death. Speaking of which: what we really want is Keaton cutting loose, Beetlejuice-style; we wanna get nuts, right? So let’s marry his charm and his patter to his ability to convey absolute menace. Keaton should play Mephisto; basically, the Devil.

There ya go. I thought this would be fun but it was actually quite hard work! Phew!

My Muse~Yandere!Music Meister X Reader Ch. 1

Hey, guys! Welcome to a new Music Meister X Reader! This story will not be affiliated with my other Music Meister X Reader story just to let you guys know. So with that out of the way, onto to the story we go! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Your POV~ BRING! BRING! BRING! My eyes shot open as I sat up quickly, my heart beating fast. Glancing to my nightstand I saw the alarm clock blinking and shrieking, it signifying time to get up and ready. Groaning I slammed my hand down and flipped the covers off, stretching before standing and going towards my closet. Opening the door I reached and pulled out the closest thing: a f/c t-shirt and beige parachute pants. Grabbing the appropriate undergarments I headed into the bathroom and got dressed. Looking at myself in the mirror as I brushed my hair I frowned. I didn't like what I saw. Chubby cheeks, freckles and a mini scar on my bottom lip. It all looked disgusting to me. Scanning further down my body my frown deepened upon seeing a chubby body, nothing like the girl's on campus. Why did our family have to all have fat genes? Nobody would find this beautiful. Sighing I put the brush back down and quickly tied my hair into a ponytail before leaving the bathroom. Heading back into my main room I went into my kitchen and grabbed an apple before sliding on my black Greek sandals and 2nd f/c sweatshirt. Grabbing my satchel I headed out my door, locked it and went down the two flights of stairs to reach the lobby. "Good morning, Y/n!" Turning my head I saw Gerard the apartment complex's 43 year old landlord with a smile on his face. "Good morning, Gerard. How are you today?" "Amazingly well, hon. And you?" "Eh, the usual." "You'll do fine, kid. And if them girls give you a rough time, you know what to do." I chuckled and gave a small smile. "Yeah, yeah. 'Rough and tough them up!'" The balding man smiled wide and gave a wave, signaling I could depart. Walking out the main door I pulled out my headphones from my bag and swung it over my head to rest on my shoulder like a messenger bag. Pulling out my mp3 player I plugged my headphones into them and chose a song selection before shoving the device into my sweatshirt pocket. Bopping my head to the beat I began my walk to my college campus, my tunes keeping me company all the way. Upon arriving on the campus I was humming along to my latest track when suddenly I was glomped from behind. Spinning my head quickly I chuckled as I saw it was just my best friend Angelina. Peeling my headphones off and setting them on my neck my red head friend gave me a huge grin. "Hey Y/n, Nathan and I got a great idea!" "And what would that be?" "Well we thought after last week's run in with Victoria and her boy toy Justin that you needed a night out on the town!" I just shook my head and continued to walk, Angelina following by my side. "I don't know." "Aw come on, Y/n! It'll be sooo fun! We'll go out and eat dinner, maybe some karaoke." "Let me think about it." "Eh better than nothing." I gave a small smile and made my way into one of the main buildings, Angelina's boots clicking against the linoleum tile. We had some small talk before we separated for class, my heart pounding as I sat down in the middle of the room. As I began to get my pencil and sketchbook out of my bag the sound of heels clicking made me pause. Oh no. "Hehehe, Justin! You make me blush!" Grumbling I grabbed my required supplies and laid them on the desktop, a shadow casting over me. Looking up I saw Victoria, her tight curly blonde hair draping over her peachy orange sweatered shoulders. "Hello, Y/n." "Morning." "What? Cat got your tongue?" "I'd never let your rich fingers anywhere near my mouth." I heard her growl before she leaned down close to me, her red painted nails tapping my sketchbook. "Listen here and listen clear. You should be bowing down to me because my Daddy paid for you to be here. If it weren't for me you'd still be stuck in the Narrows." I clenched my fists underneath the table and bit my tongue, trying my hardest to not get angry. Victoria leaned back and smirked before giving me a finger flutter goodbye and walking off. Ugh, why does she have to be so mean?! As soon as that thought went through my head Professor York walked in, a smile decorating her face. Reaching her podium she turned to us and let her smile widen. "Good morning, class! Today will be design work day! During class I want to see everybody's progress on their set of costumes." I nervously looked down at my sketchbook, it bruised and tattered from so much use during the semester. Well here goes nothing.

Mirrorverse Room Tours- Luka (SURPRISE!)

Did ya’ll think we were gonna forget our boy? Really now! Here, as a special treat! About two or three years after the whole Mirrorverse hullabaloo, the two Lukas retreat to Hero’s room while their companions are…well, you’ll have to wait and see! Enjoy! As always, credit to @imsparky2002 and @artzychic27!

Maestro Luka’s Room: A massive and brightly lit concert hall with music of all kinds filling the air, somehow blending together perfectly. The walls are lined with instruments and his sleeping space comes with a massive pipe organ.

Okay, on to the good stuff!

DiabLuka: *Gives a whistle as he looks around his counterpart’s space* Nice digs you got here! *Appraises the instruments that line the walls* Sweet collection, you play most of these?

Maestro Luka: *Sitting at his grand organ* All of them, actually. Some people like to call me a ‘prodigy’. *Laughs lightly*

DiabLuka: Seems like it’s earned. My place back home is pretty cool, too, at least I think so! *Shows Maestro Luka a pic on his phone*

Maestro Luka: *Nods* Nice. It’s kinda dark, but it’s got a cool vibe to it. …You’re really into this whole villain thing, huh? *Looks intensely at his counterpart*

DiabLuka: *Shrugs* Eh, the real dastardly deeds are Jul’s thing, and I wanna be supportive, y’know? *Maestro Luka nods hesitantly* Plus, it’s fun to be bad every once in a while! *Grins deviously*

Maestro Luka: …Agree to Disagree. *He begins to play his organ, inviting his counterpart to join*

And there you have it folks! Keep an eye out for more Class of Heroes, Class of Villainy, and Mirrorverse content!

Rise and dance, everybody.

Today's a holiday.

And now...something the artist finds funny because she’s easily amused.

I’ve been working on the script for Music Meister’s big intro for my fan-comic and I found this little exchange between Scarecrow and Riddler I wrote funny when the Rogues meet Music Meister officially.

Am I doing this right?

We finally have a Hero for Villainy Ain’t Easy!

Today we have concepts for Jasper Rivera, aka the semi-retired hero Maestro!

Ellie starts out as a hero, so meet her teacher/father figure for most of her teenage years. While he doesn't necessarily appear in the story for long, Maestro has always been one of my favorite characters since the get go. I always imagined him as one of the most genuine and sincerely kind people you could ever meet. A true hero in every respect.

Villainy Ain't Easy Summary:  Set in a classical superhero world, the story follows Eleanor "Ellie" Bryson. A sidekick dropout, the teenager finds herself swept into the arms of villainy as a recruit for The Nemesis Project- a government program that secretly hires villains to help train the next generation of heroes.

Capable of creating shockwaves of sound through various instruments, Maestro has been a cornerstone of heroics in Grandiose City for years. Nowadays he is a teacher at the Academy of Super Beings, teaching young mutants how to control their developing powers. He also happens to teach a very well regarded training course: the sidekick qualifications class.
