#pre DSR

[cuttingpenisblackmetal]

i really am convinced that magnus and abigail were friends before dsr like i think they hung out. i think they went to the funeral together. i think abigail came out of the dethsub and immediately honed in on god's natural dethklok repellent to be her new scary bestie. the reason we don't see nathan and abigail interact before the funeral was she showed up in magnus' lifted jet black f-350 and spent the whole pre-funeral dragging him around like a tall snarling protective amulet

[toomanythoughts2]

I think something we don't consider enough about Toki is that he grew up basically in front of all his fans. Like, whether or not you subscribe to the idea that Toki was a minor (16/17) when he joined Dethklok or a young adult (18/19), it's still very apparent that Toki grew up in front of the world. He went from a nobody, farmers boy in an abandoned village in Norway to being on stage to millions and millions of people in the blink of an eye.

Like, no wonder the fans think he's the cutesy one, he was literally the cute baby of the group. I bet there are fans that put side by side photos of when Toki first joined, baby face, to his adult, modern version. Toki is basically a child star to some degree. But that's also why people underestimate him so much because he was introduced to the world as a minor or very young adult and then grew up, but still stayed excatly where he was. He never branched out, so he's stuck in this child-rememebered position.

But there's also so many cute or shitty things that could have happened in that time to influence how people saw him. Gig went on super late, got really sleepy and was allowed to nap. Got his first interview done, was socially awkward and nervous. Got his first paycheck, went and bought toys and showed them to the paparazzi before getting escorted away. Had his first few drinks, got incredibly sick and left the party early. Gets asked questions he doesn't know how to answer, immediately asks for help from someone in the band in front of the interviewer. Got hurt while touring, wanted to be patched up by a band member or Charles. Just like in DSR when he's talking about how happy joining the band made him while singing "I Believe", he probably took every chance he got to tell interviewers and whatnot how happy he was to be part of the band and that he loved them very much.

Like, there's so much missing content between the beginning of the band to the start of the series. 10 whole years of Toki (and Dethklok) growing up under the public eye. Idk, I just love pre-klok Toki but there isn't much Post-Klok Pre-Series Dethklok.

Posting something Metalocalypse related again(long post)

A while I go I filled out this shipping chart made by @redcrowz and I want to go through it since I haven’t posted anything Mtl related in a while

Murderface/Toki and Murderface/Skwisgaar as BROTPs just work for me, especially Murderface and Skwisgaar with the Dethcamp episode. Abigail and Toki I feel like would just bond a lot after the events of DSR and still stayed friends after AOTD

These should all be pretty self explanatory

I don’t like Knubbler and Abigail because I really don’t think Abigail would ever like Knubbler like that(though I do believe that they somewhat got along after she was introduced)and with Murderface and Magnus I mostly just read a lot of fanfics where Murderface was considered the youngest in the band before Toki so it just felt kinda wrong

Nathan/Magnus is something that is also depicted in pre-klok which is something I can see happening and Magnus/Charles is something I’m cool with because I’ve seen @fishklok make a lot of good stuff with that ship. Abigail/Charles is just one where their personalities work well together

I know I put Toki/Murderface as a BROTP but I also see them as a cute couple. I see Amber and Seth as a malewife and girlboss relationship, bet Seth also kinda sucks, and MMA/Magnus I like just because I like antagonist pairings.

Honestly I feel like these, besides Nathan/Charles, are the most popular Nathan ships in the fandom. Abigail/Nathan I have always liked and Pickles/Nathan really grew on me as I watched the show.

I feel like a lot of the conflict in season 4 would have been prevented if Nathan, Abigail and Pickles just got together. Melmord, Amber, and Seth really grew on me because of @fishklok fan art

These ships I feel like have the most you can work with because both these ships include a lot of one on one time with the characters which is why I like them so much

[dichromaticdyke]

23- Write about your ship supporting each other through a hard time. (Please with the scandigayvians <3 )

two of them... some post-DSR/pre-AOTD 💔

"I doesn't wants it," Toki said, shoving away the food Jean-Pierre had prepared for him, that Skwisgaar had then brought to his hospital room. It wasn't Skwisgaar's job to feed Toki, but ever since the rescue, he'd been looking for excuses to visit him during his recovery. "I amn'ts hungries."

It wasn't surprising how erratic Toki had gotten since his rescue. He had always been nearly impossible to predict, but now? Now, when Toki was even thinner than Skwisgaar, his muscles barely clinging to bone, his pupil distorted...

Skwisgaar didn't know when he'd become so familiar with Toki's appearance. He didn't know when the Norwegian had clawed his way into his heart. He didn't know why watching Toki refuse to take care of himself felt like a personal attack.

"You's gotsta eats," he reminded him. "You hasn't eatsted in..." He paused. He still couldn't remember when Toki's rescue exactly was.

"I hates all da foods dey gives me," Toki grumbled. "Alls dese vegestables ands flavorless meats. Amn'ts good."

"Wells, what else ams dey supposeds to gives you? You can'ts has sugars, Tokis—"

"Yes I cans! My blood sugars ams too lows, da doctors said sos."

"Dens fuckings eats somethings!" Skwisgaar pressed his palms to his face. "Why... Why doesn't you fuckings eats somethings?" he asked, quietly this time, his voice a whisper. "Doesn't... Doesn't you wants to gets betters?"

Toki was silent, and Skwisgaar could only hear his own harried breathing. He didn't want to look at him—he didn't want to see the sad, nearly waifish husk of the person he cared about so much.

It wasn't metal to care. But he did.

"Skwisgaar...," Toki finally whispered.

Skwisgaar forced himself to look at the man in the hospital bed, forced himself to swallow his pride and look at what had happened to him while he and Dethklok were partying around the world. "Ja?"

"How..." He paused. "How's ams I supposed to knows you won'ts throws it aways just when I's abouts to eats it?"

Skwisgaar was taken aback, his mouth falling open. "I... Why woulds you thinks I would does dat?"

"I don't knows... I just has dese dreams of...of someones takings my foods away...when I sos hungries..." He sniffed, turning his face away. "And whoevers it am, it ams someones what means a lots to mes."

Skwisgaar looked away from Toki then. The words left unsaid were too much to bear. "Waits heres."

"Where I gonna goes?"

Skwisgaar managed a smile, but it hurt too much to commit to. He left the room and came back just a couple minutes later. "Heres." He pressed a candy bar into Toki's hand before turning away.

"Where's you goings?" Toki asked.

Without looking at him, Skwisgaar said, "You needs to eats. You amn'ts gonna eats if you thinks someone's gonna takes it aways from yous, nej?" He left the room without another word, without waiting for a response. He pressed his back against the wall, shutting his eyes.

It was all too much for him to handle.

But the next time he visited him, the candy bar wrapper was in the waste bin, and Toki's blood sugar had spiked just a little bit.

Hey Fish, I'd like to hear your thoughts on Abigail!

Sexuality Headcanon: Bisexual (seriously need to finish that Amber/Abigail pwp fic)

Gender Headcanon: Cis woman, but I haven't thought about it too much (maybe she hasn't either, idk)

A ship I have with said character: Abigail/Skwisgaar ;;0;;, Abigail/Amber, and I still have a soft spot for Abigail/Charles even though I hc him as gay, Abigail/Magnus in the veerrrry specific context I set up in that old fic I wrote (they bond pre-dsr over their shared frustration with Dethklok, but Abigail sees Magnus as a dark mirror into what she could become if she lets her anger fester, so she bounces)

A BROTP I have with said character: Abigail + Charles + Knubbler (they go on work retreats)

A NOTP I have with said character: Again, I really don't have notps. As long as people aren't weird.

A random headcanon: She's Afro-Caribbean, she's Canadian, she likes noise music, her mother was a classical pianist, she's now in a place in her career where she can insist people use her full last name instead of calling her "Abigail R.", had her first queer experience in a night club in Brussels, she does really hard crosswords because she likes to push herself but she always does them in pencil because there's still a part of her that still has doubts.

General Opinion over said character: Mtl really went off making a woman who I believe someone would tank a career and a life-long friendship for. But in all seriousness, I think she's a fun character. I love how she has a weirdo streak instead of her just coming in as a stale love interest (which she does kinda become unfortunately). Most of my complaints are "I wish she was weirder" or "I wish she had more screentime," so the pieces were there I guess.

[chordsykat]

does Abigail exist in dethkomic?

She does! But she's an intergalactic bounty hunter sworn to make out with everyone in the universe named Nathan Explosion. In...in space.

Okay, so... No, that's not true (but it'd be awesome). Abigail simply hasn't shown up in dethkomic yet because the 'komic is a work of additive fanfiction. I'm adding on to canon plot and we simply haven't gotten to where she's arrived, yet:

As you can see, if I'm motivated crazy enough to do a third dethkomic, the current idea I have for it will be post DSR, pre-movie, and that means she'd definitely make an appearance (along with a bunch of other people who haven't shown up much, if at all, yet). Still just an idea at this point, but I very much want to do it, at present.

[pysch0-teddy]

hey guyz I toki had a silly little idea and we're sharing it with you!

What if Dethkloks "rejects" had their own band???

VOCALIST(SINGER)- Magnus bc hes babygirl and his voice is pretty(he also is technically the guitarist bc their actual guitarist has no idea what he's doing)

BASS- mma bc as someone whos had past (b)romance with my bass player, bass/vocals is my second favorite band shipping dynamic so theres so 4 him being bass there's literally no other reason besides who tf else would be bass

LEAD GUITARIST- Rockzo, because y not and also he doesn't even play guitar he pretend plays on his balloon guitar while Magnus does his work 4 him

GUITARIST- uhh I counldnt think of anybody so trindle bc I really want 2 include her and in my head she can play guitar

PERCUSSIONIST(DRUMMER)- seth.

Melmord is ther manger and edgar is their producer

the name of their band is respectively the Revengencers and the (in universe)everyone hates them. but. Not me

Also I feel like I(toki) would really like their.music. well only if it's pre-dsr

Post dsr mma and magnus r dead so the band falls apart

HAPPY ENDING!!! i WILL b drawing them as ponies. good day

Honestly I think my ps4 might be some sort of anomaly.

10 years old, never cleaned, never even opened, not even a Pro. Could run pre-patch Promised Consort Radahn with no issues except for one visual bug. Never had a single performance problem with elden ring really, just the fans sounding like a turbine.

Only framerate issues in any game I remember is one small spot in dsr causing low frames and one mission in ac6 slowing down a bit in an intense segment. And I guess the Watchdog fight from bloodborne.

Hell my cats used to lay on top of it and it was fine. Everything still works

The controllers are all in a dire state but the console itself has never failed me. It just won't quit.

Maybe I have just very low standards. As long as it is running at around 30 fps its good enough for me.

Entry 2: Finding your feet in the internship: induction, and completing initial tasks

My first day at NMFC involved a tour of the facilities, trying on and being given the uniform to wear at trainings and game days, being introduced to volunteers, players, coaches and other staff, and a rundown of what the training sessions encompass. As I started in pre-season, there were no games to attend for the first few weeks. This gave me the opportunity to settle in, get to know people and familiarise myself with the VFL operations procedures. I met fantastic people who I quickly built relationships with, who I could rely on for support and guidance in the beginning of the internship. The players and coaches were welcoming, and assisted us with settling in. NMFC quickly felt like a very natural place to be, as everyone was supportive and welcoming. The initial tasks involved learning how to take stock of playing equipment, bench equipment and the nutrition used at training and game days. This was invaluable time, as when the first game day arrived, I was already comfortable enough to pack everything that was needed without supervision.

Trying on the NMFC uniform. (Royal, 2023a).

My first day at DSR I was thrown right into the deep end and was tasked to completely refresh the Victorian Disability Sport & Recreation Awards sponsorship proposal prospectus. I attended a meeting in which the award night was discussed, and given a list of aspects that the team were looking for in the document. To help give me a more solid idea of the information that was to be included, I was provided a copy of the previous year’s document, but was instructed that the design should be different. For the first few weeks, this was my main task, and I was able to complete the document quickly and effectively to a high quality standard – everyone really loved what I produced, and after a few small changes, the document was ready to be sent out to prospective sponsors. As with NMFC, everyone at DSR were welcoming and supportive, and made it known that I could reach out for help at any time. A task spreadsheet was set up for me on SharePoint, as well as a folder for me to upload my finished tasks.

Victorian Disability Sport & Recreation Awards sponsorship proposal 2023 (Royal, 2023b)

For the beginning of both internships, I relied heavily on my communication skills to settle into the environments. I documented tasks and instructions, and remained flexible (Coffelt & Smith, 2020; Indeed, 2023) to demonstrate my dedication and willingness to learn and excel. I took this time to observe and listen to those around me (Indeed, 2023) in order to find my place and discover how I can best contribute and apply my skills.

24-Hours at Le Mans - GT3 Podium

24-Hours at Le Mans - GT3 Podium. Well, that was a nail-biter. You could not have predicted that after the first hour of the race. #585 Asetek Simsports by Volante Racing started from pole position, but that is not where they ended up at all. And in fact, they were lucky to be able to overtake the #777 DSR-GaddgetHuset.dk for second place. A funny thing about this race is that the fans actually pointed to one of the ID Simport cars as the winner, but that was the #166  instead of the #199. But they did get the team right with a whopping 41% of the votes! The finishing result also nearly had an impact on the final season result. Because if the #585 Volante Racing by Asetek Simsports didn't finish ahead of the #777 DSR-GaddgetHuset.dk, then the #404 of glam racing would have finished third instead of second in the championship. And the team beating them for second place would have been exactly the #777 crew.   The problems with pre-occupied drivers and some internet issues took their toll on the #404 GlamRacing crew and that is why we don't see them on the podium for the first time in four races. The Brasilian CKR team also made a glorious return, after winning at Monza and taking third at Sebring, but due to hardware problems this time around they failed to finish the race. Now here is the race result, points and being the last race, this is also the season result. But more on the season podium spots in separate articles to come. The final podium saw the #199 Ferrari of ID Simsport driven by Andreas Nygaard, Martin Svanholm, Mathias Hjorth, and Thomas Brejnegaard take the win in GT3, followed by Niels Hoogeveen, Maciej Kasprzyk, Elisio Netto, Alexander Secher, and Marc Vermeer in the #585 Audi of Asetek Simsports by Volante Racing. Finally, on the third step, Karl Lykkegaard, Michael Ciccolini, Steven Salgsgaard, Mathias Hårvig, and Mads Hedegaard driving the #777 DSR-GaddgetHuset.dk Callaway Corvette.

My personal headcannon is within the ears. This is where humans used to have gills in pre-evolution and also gives a direct acsess for oxegen to enter and co2 to exit via the posterior auricular vien and atery.

But DSR has contion mention of gills so they do have them for sure. They also have modifed elf ears in summerset onwards that look like gills.

So hey Maormer enjoyers: where are the gills on a Maormer?

I read ESO lore pages that suggest it's in the ears because they don't like headwear underwater.

Some other pages make no mentions of them.

So can they breathe underwater or have just a huge lung capacity?

[dichromaticdyke]

and here we have the unofficial end to a post-DSR/pre-AOTD trilogy i like to call,

never let @takiniteasynightcoreremix, @supersaturnnyoomkitty, and me cook!

links to their respective fics are in the author’s notes, please give theirs a read before continuing on with mine—mine won’t make as much sense without the context of theirs, but also, more importantly, their fics are fucking phenomenal and deserve all the hits and kudos in the world.

AND as always, bear in mind the tags. i’m gonna be really mean to these boys, some lines are gonna be crossed, and everyone’s gonna be left with conflicting feelings. ✨

Summary: Before Magnus prepares to leave and carry out his plan with the Revengencers, he says goodbye to his mother.

I wrote a quick oneshot about Magnus saying goodbye to Satenik pre-DSR
