#mildly obsessed with 'the' now

[aquitainequeen]

I was thinking about how so many of those with power and authority in the Wasteland are referred to not only by their title, but with an honorific 'the'. So we have The Immortan Joe, The Red/Great/Dark/etc Dementus, and further down there's The People Eater, The Bullet Farmer, The Organic Mechanic, The Octoboss, The History Man. Even some of Joe's trusted subordinates carry this honorific, as the first time we're introduced to Jack he's the Praetorian Jack.

Going back to Fury Road, the same goes for most of the women whom Joe kept locked up in his harem, with a little variation. The Splendid Angharad, Toast the Knowing, The Dag, Cheedo the Fragile.

All of which made me think about Furiosa, who's tried for years upon years to escape the world of the Wasteland and service to the warlords; finally both surrendering to and drawing upon what power and authority she's amassed during that service, in order to have a chance at getting her revenge. How she mutters 'Praetorian Furiosa'. And then when she's ignored, she screams

'I am the Praetorian Furiosa!!!'

Full friendshiped ma boi tonight coz he kept getting into fights with EVERYBODY in the guest room so he dropped a LOT of gifts for himself!

That's almost ridiculous. Why are you picking a fight with Malleus of all people ?! Do you have a death wish ?!

Now I just have to finish farming the awakening perfumes to uncap him. That's gonna take a while.

cw : gore, body horror, cannibalism

only slept like three hours so i'm going to try and take a nap but i need to share this before i forget: random au where everything is mostly the same except will is a little starfish boy so you could cut off his limbs and they'll just grow back after a bit. it obviously hurts immensely, but it's rather useful when it comes to fighting vicious democreatures, when he needs to fake his own death once everything's over and the town decided to blame every tragedy on "zombie boy", or when he needs to feed his recently-possessed, secretly-a-cannibal best-friend-turned-accomplice-turned-boyfriend mike

KYLE CROUSE: Here's one from Playerback 772. "Who would win in a hand-to-hand fight, Surge or Zavok?"

IAN FLYNN: I'm thinkin' Surge. Not an easy fight, mind you. I mean, Zavok can go toe-to-toe with Sonic on the regular, but Sonic will win in the end if it's just the two of them. And Surge can pretty much keep pace with Sonic, so I imagine that she could overcome Zavok. KYLE: Yeah, I don't know. I say Surge, just because I like Surge better than Zavok, but... [laughs] ...I'm biased, so... IAN: Now, if Zavok knows that she's got cybernetics, he might be able to tilt things in his favor in... horrifying ways, but if it's just like, "What is that green thing and why is she cackling and coming at me at mach one-- OH GOD!" Then, yeah. She'd stomp him eventually. Wipe her feet on his face. KYLE: Yeah. IAN: She'd win in the end. KYLE: Would she be...? She's kind of been weaker than Sonic and Metal Sonic, though. Or at least, she's been defeated by them. So... is she really on their level? IAN: Yeah, she-- in principle, it's that she lacks the experience. Like, she's got the data... KYLE: Right. IAN: ...and she has been trained, but she hasn't had any practical application outside of two fights. KYLE: Right, yeah. That's a good point. IAN: Like, sure, Starline put her through lots of horrible, horrible trials, but there's that, and then there's going up against freakin' Metal Sonic. KYLE: [chuckles] IAN: Y'know, Metal Sonic, who really can only ever be topped by Sonic. That's- that's not a... [laughs] that is not the best graduation exam for her! That's goin' from zero to sixty real darn fast. KYLE: [chuckling] Or, like, zero to three hundred. IAN: Mhm. KYLE: [laughs] Yeah, wow. That's a good point. Yeah, Zavok-- I wouldn't put Zavok on that level, nah. She could take him. Screw that guy. IAN: That's not to undersell Zavok, he is a formidable fighter, but... KYLE: Sure, I suppose... I kinda like Zavok. I like, y'know, Dapper Bowser. IAN: [chuckles]

Does she need to colour co-ordinate every outfit?

Yes. Yes she does.

Are you going to suggest she do otherwise?

No. No you will not. Unless you really want to make her sad. Why do you want to make her sad?

[jade-of-mourning]

anyone want to talk about zalinki with me… someone please please somebody i need to talk about when death was mine i—

FLIRTING THE MOON DRIVES ME INSANE. CUTEST SONG EVER OMG. IT'S SO. AUHSDJHGBAJHSDG omgomgodsagbsdjhkgbkfjkn "but i'm holding out hope for her… that maybe she'll take me the way i am… one part asshole, dreamer, and sad little man" HELLO. and the ending!

WE RAN OUT THROUGH THE BACK DOOR. i'm actually giddy. makes me want to be in love sooooo bad like abhgfkhjbshgj. or like. crushing hard on someone idk. someone to be obsessed with and obsessed over in turn. the WOOO! makes me almost crash my bike every single time and look stupid. i want to be Yearning and bailing on socials. do you get it

apropos;;;;; ohhh the song you are (comfort & devastation in one) "won't you tell me where the bedbugs go?"

and OF COURSE lampshade king and peach yogurt… old tracks but better than before tbh, especially in the context of the full album. idk how i was sleeping on the line "i've got time to spend the afterlife with all of my friends" until now but i am no longer sleeping on it. the ultimate motivator indeed!

burns,,, the soundscape,,, literally putting it in my mouth… exhaust fumes & <3,,, the verses of insane…

AND SEAMLESS. "i totally understand" WHEN YOU PHRASE IT LIKE THAT I DO. I UNDERSTAND. that's actually me all the time,, i totally understand (i do not understand i can't understand it hurts to try and i'm tired)

off the topic of wdwm. problems,,, i want to draw animatics to it so bad and now i have a couple weeks off from school so we'll see if that happens. but like i'm so obsessed with his delivery on that song. make right is such an edible track. millennium compendium the POTENTIAL. over it is so brainworming. what about the children? is still one of my favorite zalinki tracks ever though, longlasting. also sorry i only finally just listened to waking up without fingers and it's… actually really quite devastating. i have to resist the urge to dig through the zalinki server that i've been in for the past four years for lore, because i'll be spending full days scrolling through texts if i do.

also macaroni sunshine is such a fun song i really do quite enjoy it.

anyway that's my zalinki propoganda brain dump of the day. i'm holding myself back. apologies to anyone who actually reads through this. it's driving me insane (haha get it? haha get it get it get it hahhahahhaha)

[elysianstars]

I have so many questions about the Fell Xenologue background, and so few answers. What was the Fell Dragon situation actually like, before Sombron took over? Presumably they had a tribe composed of different families/bloodlines, not just one lunatic and his harem, so how did he overthrow that? Was he already in some higher-status position, like being the offspring of a previous monarch? How did the mothers of his children feel about his plans, about watching them die as they were pitted against each other?

Neither Nel nor Rafal ever mention their mothers, and no parental figures besides Sombron appear in the flashbacks. Did they even know who their mothers were, or were they taken away after birth and thrown into some type of mass creche, rather than receiving individual care?

Were the women in competition with each other, the way the children were? Did they fight on the front lines against their enemies? Did they compete for Sombron's attention? He must have convinced the majority to willingly go along with his plans, since they outnumbered him, and dragons dgaf about gender so it's not like a man's word would carry more weight. So what goal did they think was being achieved, besides surviving for one more generation? Did any of them regret it later, or rebel?

Were any still alive after Lumera sealed Sombron away, and what did they do afterwards? It doesn't seem like any took up the banner to keep fighting in his name. What happened to the other male dragons from Sombron's generation? Were a large number already killed off by the Divine Dragons, or did he get rid of them himself? Did any children that weren't Sombron's ever have a chance to exist?

Did Sombron's children have any idea how their tribe lived in generations past, or were they kept ignorant? Did any of them try to bond with their mothers, or were they discouraged? Who did the daily work of raising and educating them? Did Fell Dragons always value cruelty and punish weakness to such an extreme degree, or was that Sombron's influence? Was killing their twins always considered normal, or did he pioneer that?

Give me knowledge, give me lore, I need a hundred new Fell Dragon facts immediately.
