Little cute excerpts from various dethklok comix I’ve done over the last couple months 🤭

[rexscanonwife]

Yo I was thinking about something and-

Their shred-off would be LEGENDARY 😩😩😩

[yourfavoritemanager]

Apparently this is what happens when we have twitter, yeah I don't get it either.

[dichromaticdyke]

Fic request/AU: Toki never auditioned for Dethklok and it’s always been a one guitar band and they are still world famous and wildly successful.

One night Skwisgaar hears something in the studio to find a spy has broken in! The spy who calls himself Toki is cornered and Skwisgaar takes the interrogation into his own hands to determine who this spy is and what he wants.

i wasn't sure where to take this, but you accidentally inspired a perfect concept in our dms.

With a sudden intake of breath, Skwisgaar snapped awake, still clutching his guitar in one hand and a notepad of scribbled tabs in another. This wasn't the first time he had fallen asleep in the studio while working on new Dethklok songs by himself, and he was certain it wouldn't be the last. Nathan and Pickles pulled their weight fine enough, but William was far too willing to get complacent with his own output. At times like this, he wondered if he should have let Dethklok become a two-guitar band.

He stretched his arms over his head, eager to get back to his firm bed that would, hopefully, realign his spine after it had been bent over the desk for the better part of eight hours. In doing so, he caught sight of something in the corner of his eye. He tightened his grip on the neck of his guitar—he wasn't normally wary of intruders, knowing full well that Klokateers had methods of keeping them out, but that didn't stop his instinctual worry.

As he stood, he heard a slight high-pitched noise, almost like a yelp, coming from behind a few stereo speakers. He charged in the direction of it, his guitar held high above his head. Behind the speakers, he saw, was a man—a man with long brown hair and white and black face paint on.

"Jeg beklager!" the man cried as Skwisgaar cornered him. "Jeg beklager!"

Skwisgaar sneered, slowly lowering his guitar. "Norska?" he asked.

The man nodded, hesitantly.

"Eugh." Great. If there was one group of people he hated more than the Danish, it was the Norwegians.

"I didn't mean to scare you," the man continued in Norwegian. "I just—I had to—"

"This is a secure compound," Skwisgaar told him in Swedish. "No one should be here—especially not Norwegian black metal wannabes."

"I'm not a wannabe!" The man crossed his arms over his chest. "My name is Toki Wartooth, and I'm the lead guitarist of Horse's Dick!"

Skwisgaar grimaced at the name. "I'm sure it sounds like dildos. How hard could it be to be a black metal lead guitarist?" he asked with an eye roll. "Don't you have a church to burn down or something? Get out of here."

"No!" Toki grabbed onto Skwisgaar's wrist. "I came all this way!"

"For what? Want to burn down Mordhaus, too? You have about five seconds before I call the Klokateers here to have you killed."

"I can't tell you why I'm here..." Toki looked down at his feet, not releasing his grip on Skwisgaar.

While he did seem significantly younger than him, and a bit shorter, Skwisgaar could tell just from the faint outline of his shirt that this man was jacked. If Skwisgaar tried to get physical with him, he was sure he would lose.

And truthfully, he didn't have his Dethphone on him. He couldn't contact the Klokateers fast enough. He would have to get this Toki guy out of here on his own.

So, he feigned interest. "Whatever it is you wanted, I can't give it to you if you don't tell me," he said.

Toki frowned. "Well, my bandmate—his name is Runke Snogge—he doesn't like digital music. He hates Dethklok. But I heard you had a new analog recording format..." He trailed off, looking down before finally letting Skwisgaar go.

It was making sense now. He wanted to find a way to record his dildo black metal records onto water. He wanted to scoff at this idea, tell Toki that the highly complicated and expensive technology it took to produce HEARD wasn't something to be wasted on his stupid amateur music. Instead, he deflected: "Water records can only be recorded in Mordhaus. You don't even have a guitar or your friend."

"Yes I do." Toki pointed past Skwisgaar, who turned his head. Against the wall, near the door to the studio, was a haphazardly duct-taped Flying V guitar. "I was gonna try to record some of my tracks...but you were here..."

Skwisgaar sighed. This man was just so pathetically earnest, wasn't he? "Even still, without your friend, you won't be able to record your songs on water—"

"He's outside."

Skwisgaar narrowed his eyes. "What."

"He's outside. He didn't want me to come all this way by myself. He's waiting for me... Damn it, I should go."

And this time, as Toki made to leave, it was Skwisgaar's turn to grab his wrist and stop him. "Wait." He cursed himself for what he was about to do. "Just...wait ten minutes."

--

Dick Knubbler let out a yawn as Skwisgaar begrudgingly gave him a cup of coffee. "Alright babes, you ready?" he asked. Skwisgaar had been lucky that Dick hadn't been too far from Mordhaus at the time of his call, though he did wish that the man had slept in...well, any kind of clothing. Lending him his own robe was another sacrifice he was making tonight.

"Readies!" Toki said, his guitar strapped over his shoulder and plugged into the amps of the recording booth.

"Readies," the man known as Runke said, notably less excited than Toki.

Dick hit record, and the two Norwegians inside the recording booth began to record their first song: "Release Me from Conservative Hell." As they played, Dick swiveled in his chair to face Skwisgaar. "You know, the other boys aren't gonna be happy about this."

"Ja, I knows." Skwisgaar finished his own cup of coffee in one prolonged gulp.

"And you certainly don't let anyone else use the recording booth. What's this about?"

"Nothings."

Dick smirked, peaking over his shoulder at Hestkuk. Toki was in the middle of playing an agonizingly slow chord while Runke shrieked some nonsense about hating his life, or whatever. "Norwegian men are kinda cute, aren't they, babe?"

"I's has you killeds too, Knubbler."

[cladestruction]

i'm sorry but for some reason Skwisgaar calling Toki "stupid lingering diabetics!" when he's mad is so funny to me

[m3gahet]

Ok I had an idea for a Skwickles prompt: Pickles trying to play the guitar and Skwisgaar trying to play the drums -@deth-klok

“Ya suck at this, dood.”

“Don’t touch me.”

[bunny-uninterrupted]

GREAT news guys im gonna make a metalocalypse blog so you dont have to be tortured by my countless mtl reblogs!!!

[megzscribbleznwordz]

hihi!! dating hcs with the main metalocalypse guys plss?

Hell yeah dude! I love how different each of them are, it makes for some very interesting dynamics. I'm gonna put this one under a 'read more' because I kinda went off a bit lol

William Murderface

Murderface is definitely the type to be very tsundere. Like, kind of an asshole in an oddly endearing way to anybody he’s interested in. It takes a while of knowing the person he’s got a crush on before he feels comfortable enough to say something about it

He’s very insecure in most every relationship he has, be it platonic or otherwise. This leads to him being very emotionally closed off early into any relationship. 

Once Murderface is comfortable? Oh boy, they’re stuck with him. He’s only able to feel like his true, authentic self with his partner. He’s a big, touch-starved softie deep down (which he probably only discovers thanks to his partner)

It takes him probably years before he’s comfortable with being public and letting their relationship be known to the fans. Treat him with patience; he’s probably got the least relationship experience of the boys.

Nathan Explosion

Probably way stronger than his partner, which strikes a chord in his heart. Very protective of his love interest, be it still in the crushing phase or actively in a relationship.

He loves when his partner brushes his hair. A bit awkward about asking them to, but god does he just m e l t s whenever they do. 

One of the most common dates is a motorcycle ride. His partner’s arms wrapped securely around his chest, the wind in their hair as they cruise down the road, just him and them... He feels he has no better way to spend his time

Nathan is surprisingly tender with his lover, secretly being a bit of the traditional romantic at heart. Buying them flowers, cutely and awkwardly complimenting them, helping them with pretty much anything he can

Of the boys, he’s one of the first to tell the fans of his relationship. This is most likely to give his lover security in the relationship, not particularly having an opinion on the fan’s reaction to his relationship

Toki Wartooth

The sweetest boy ever! Definitely tells his lover about his crush on them very soon after he realizes it. He just... takes a while to realize it. Probably has to be told by one of the other’s that what he’s experiencing is a crush. 

The most down bad, down atrocious for his partner. Showering them in compliments, covering their face in kisses any chance he gets, suffocating them in hugs...

Loves planning dates so so much. Build-a-bear dates are very frequent, along with any sort of class or outing. He loves the kinds of dates where you do activities rather than just  go somewhere to be there

He’s a terrible shopper for gifts, but he’s fantastic at making things for his partner. Homemade birthday cards, jewelry, and even writing songs for them!

He’s one of the boys who introduces his partner to the fans first, too excited to contain himself for too long. Definitely happens by accident; he’s addressing the crowd at a show last night and opens with “Last night, when I was with my babies...”

Skwisgaar Skwigelf

Very flirty just as base; once he’s in a relationship that doesn’t change, he merely gets entirely focused in on his partner. He‘s very smudged if they’re easily flustered, showering them in compliments and flirtations as their cheeks grow redder and redder

He’s the type to take a long time to trust himself to be emotionally intimate with his partner. There’s a small part of him that believes his partner is only with him for his fame, and should that end so would his relationship. It takes a while to convince him out of this.

Once he’s comfortable and secure, he’s very casual with affection, commonly seen handing around with an arm draped lazily around his partner, pulling them into his lap or to rest against him

He’s very pensive and thoughtful, which leads to him being a very good gift giver. He tends to go for romantic items of use (perfume in a scent his lover likes, jewelry if they’re the type, clothes in their style and sizes.) when gifting.

It’s a fight between him and Murderface over who would take longer to tell the fans about their relationship—but with the number of groupies Skwis has, it’d probably be him first just to give his partner a bit more confidence in the relationship.

Pickles

Pickles never really saw himself as the type who’d end up in a relationship. Perhaps due to his tendency to grow irate easily, perhaps due to his reservations regarding his family and background. When he has a crush on someone,he does his best to control his temper if they’re around or could potentially hear of it

Once in a relationship, he commonly goes to his significant other when frustrated by this or that. He feels like they’re genuinely the only one who could understand and help him feel better; even something as simple as a tight hug helps ground him

When he grows more secure in the relationship, he gets a bit of a teasing streak. His favorite past times are poking at his partner, going in for hugs only to rub his goatee against his partner’s neck/cheek/shoulder

He loves when his partner plays with his hair, scratches his head, anything like that. He refuses to admit it until later in the relationship, his hair and balding being one of his more notable points of insecurity

He probably doesn’t make a huge deal of telling the fans about his partner, like if they find out they find out but a comfortable relationship with Pickles is a very relaxed, low-key one

[basu-shokikita]

Obsessed with the fact that we got a throwback to the iconic Vallhaska moment in the Army of the Doomstar movie.

[tokiwarcube]

Uhh almost christmas so.. baking cookies/gingerbreads with Dethband and CHARLES, which make best cookie and which fucked up the cooke and which burned the kitchen

Cute!!! Anyone who follows me elsewhere knows I'm infamous for failing to get holiday posts out on-time, so I'm rather happy about getting something done ahead of time for once. Enjoy! <3

Charles Foster Offdensen

Charles is very attentive to even the smallest of details. You have to be, in his position — even disregarding the whole prophecy thing, his life is full of little things to micromanage and keep track of. Which is really what baking is, right? Perfect measurements, exact timing, sequential orders… which means he should be a natural at it, right?

Well, you’d be wrong.

He doesn’t burn down the kitchen mind you, but his baking adventures are… lackluster. You think the dough senses his lack of passion for the craft, because every time you manage to drag him into the kitchen to bake with you the results are just… average. Not that it’s a boring process, by any means — you still have your fun together! Chatting, dancing around him to grab an ingredient or two, swaying together before the timer goes off, sneaking a kiss here and there… It’s a fun winter project, even if the fruits of your labor are more run of the mill.

Nathan Explosion

Baking is not brutal, and truth be told, it kind of irks him that he’s so good at it. As a kid, he’d sit on the counter while his mom baked various treats for the neighborhood at Christmas time, and he supposes some of that must have sunk into his developing brain. He’s not gonna get in the kitchen unprompted, but if you want to bake with him, he won’t say no.

He’s not big on the actual decorating part… at least, not at first. Once you introduce the idea of making your creations a bit more metal, he gets really into it. The glasses are on, and he’s got a quarter of a million toothpicks out to help perfect his lines and sprinkles.

You’re snacking on decapitated gingerbread men and disembowled reindeer for weeks.

Pickles the Drummer

Pickles doesn’t bake, he gets baked.

Seriously, don’t let him near the kitchen. Ever. Best case scenario, you get a charred husk out of the oven. Worst case scenario… Well, it’s a good thing Charles didn’t spare any expenses for the sprinkler system. You don’t know how he does it, really — one minute things are fine, and then suddenly there’s just a mountain of flames erupting from 5 different ovens. You didn’t even think you had more than one on, but that doesn’t really matter when, again, there’s fire.

You’ll have fun decorating together — his gingerbread men are very charming, in a fucked-up kind of way — but that’s about the limit of his baking prowess. You can absolutely make a day of it — he’s a delight when icing your creations — but again, do not let him near the oven.

Skwisgaar Skwigelf

He’s such a perfectionist that you think he’d be great at baking but… he has a bit of a careless streak, and this is one of those moments where that really shines through. He’s a decent enough cook, but he can’t bake for shit. It frustrates him a bit, actually. His creations always turn out a little bit off — not enough for them to be inedible, but definitely not up to his standards. Do not let him lead on the actual chemistry side of baking, he will crash out.

That’s not to say he doesn’t want to bake with you, not by any means! It’s just better to (subtly) give him some instructions, or better yet, stick him with mixing, or decorating. His ego will thank you, even if he doesn’t.

The most likely to turn your baking adventures into scene out of a Hallmark movie — he’s a quiet lover of fun romance, and is prone to pulling you into a dance when the mood strikes. And we all know he’s been saving up his one-liners for today.

Toki Wartooth

Oh, this is his favorite time of year! Everything about it is just magical to him — he never really got to have the whole movie-magic Christmas growing up, so believe me when I say he takes every opportunity to bring those dreams to life. Toki’s a little too scatterbrained to actually bake solo — raw excitement and a little bit of undiagnosed ADHD draws him in too many directions at once, to where recipes fly into the back of his mind and get forgotten. He is, however, a wonderful assistant. And he’s an even better decorator!

They aren’t the picture-perfect Pinterest treats with immaculate iced lines and sprinkled sugar, but they’re perfect to the two of you. There’s a very palpable passion and love that radiates from them, and that’s what makes them so magic. And it was even easier than you thought to find diabetic-friendly recipes — insulin-resistance be damned, he will be indulging in some Christmas cheer.

And yes, he does make a little gingerbread family of you and the rest of the band. He almost immediately breaks gingerbread-Skwisgaar’s head clean off to have as a snack. And yes, he does leave his gingerbread body in the pile when it comes to leaving cookies out for the boys. Is it a threat? Is it just Toki being Toki? The world may never know.

Do be warned, he is a menace when it comes to stealing batter. And if you’re not careful, you’re liable to get attacked with some icing when you’re not looking. Stay on your guard.

William Murderface

A lot of people assume he’s a shit baker — and he doesn’t really dispute that. He’s got a bit of a complex about it, and feels like it doesn’t fit his image. But in reality, he’s damn good at it. He doesn’t measure anything, and has never once pulled up a recipe, and yet… His creations are up there with the best of ‘em. He’ll deny his proficiency to anyone else, but he actually takes a lot of pride in it.

Don’t question him when he’s in the kitchen — he’s gonna suggest the most off-the-wall concoction, and it’s going to sound horrific, but when you actually try it? Divine. His decorating skills leave a bit to be desired, but who cares about presentation when the sweets are this damn good?

You make a good duo in the kitchen — he’ll do the chemistry, you’ll do the art. Do keep an eye on his hands though — he’s going to be covered in flour and batter and God knows what else, and he refuses to deal with that alone (despite banning you from actually cooking.) Wear a shirt you don’t care about, if you don’t want big white handprints on your Sunday’s best.

[halcantdothat]

THE THREAD I HAVE BEEN PROCRASTINATING ON FOR A WHILE!!!

murderface’s autistic traits

because i see a lot of people talking about toki, skwisgaar, and nate’s autistic traits but never murderface.,,,

under the cut

one of the more obvious traits is his interest in war history and macabre things, which definitely seems like a special interest. it takes up his WHOLE ROOM, and the only time we see him taking a vacation is for a war reinactment. it is basically the only thing we see him have any interest in outside of dethklok and other music endeavors (which he does not seem to be that interested in even) he is genuinely PASSIONATE for history.

his gullibility is definitely overplayed for jokes but to me it reads as an extremely obvious autistic trait. for example , the firecracker scene. that scene just screams autistic to me. the way he just never realizes that he should STOP trusting them and keeps on bending down? yeah.

one of the less obvious things that I notice is his pickiness with foods. also a joke and definitely tied to extreme internalized homophobia, but it just seems like something that most neurotypical people would not go to the lengths to defend. yes I know that he does eat a hot dog in doublebookedklok but who says autism people cannot be hypocrites, I know I am lol. also just a headcanon of mine that he is sensitive to foods and sticks to foods he is comfortable with + knows well, seems to be pretty canon compliant too.

something i notice is how he does seem to understand some social norms, but not fully. and even the ones he does understand, he does not care to follow. for me as an autistic person that is something I heavily relate to. It is hard to follow the social norms you do understand when you have no reason to, and you have never had them explained to you. murderface was just treated as a problem kid his entire life so of course he just sticks with it instead of trying to work on his attitude.

kind of reaching but autistic people are more likely to experience depression and other mental illnesses, something that murderface definitely deals with. he also shows symptoms in less typical was, tied in with his anger issues. i think his anger issues could also be compared to how he was never taught to deal with his emotions, and also combine with autistic meltdowns of the sort. basically all of his issues just are worsened by his autistic traits.

SPELLING!!! i know this is just something that shows he is uneducated, which makes sense as he (in the shoe, NOT the comics) grew up in the south (probably in poverty) and never cared for school, but it also could have been heightened by his trouble learning new concepts. he very easily could have been pushed away by the fact that no one understood how to be patient with him and teach him in a way he understood, an experience lots of autistic people face.

the way murderface talks to people, he rarely knows how to act when he is not complaining or insulting people, which definitely ties into the lack of social skills. he also seems to not be able to tell when people are joking, or read emotional subtleties.

with how he tries to be a “gentleman” around ladies, it definitely shows how he does not know how to act outside of stereotypes and what he has been taught, almost like he is following a script.

HYGIENE. a big thing for autistic people. i know some people who are extreme near freaks and very very cautious with hygiene, as for me and others,,, not caring at all. i think it is obvious murderface falls into the second category, he does not CARE about hygiene and frankly, does not want to. we seen him showering in one scene so I think he is capable of doing self-care oriented things, but maybe it is hard for him to start, or he is uncomfortable with it in most occasions.

we???? Have never seen him wear pants? Like never. Even when wearing suits he has never worn pants. Definitely a sensory thing and NOT NORMAL?? just something subtle but texture in clothing is definitely a big thing with sensory issues.

headcanons

ahem ahem,,, we never see him in any shoes with shoelaces so I like to headcanon that he either never learned how to tie his shoes, or if he did, he is very bad at it and it takes him a while, so he is embarrassed to tie his shoes in front of anyone.

i also like to think he makes a lot of references to old TV shows (see my murderface agere post) and got a lot of his ideas of what “masculinity” is from those. i assume he shaped his worldview around fiction and what he learned from history, which resulted in a really warped perspective.

that is all for now!! i will probably add onto this later!! ^_^ byebye!

[citrus-soju]

I love that MTL has so much representation. Not only do all the characters have different heights, body types and faces, they also have disabilities, illnesses, traumas, addictions, etc.

Nathan is very clearly autistic. Pickles has asthma that gets worse when stressed. They’re both severe alcoholics, Nathan even to the point where he regularly needs liver transplants. Toki has diabetes and PTSD. He gets panic attacks, age regresses and becomes mute around his parents. Skwisgaar is most likely also autistic, always stimming with his guitar, and experiences physical pain when he’s unwell mentally (also has a severe cilantro allergy lmao). Murderface is a depressed, suicidal IBS king with a lisp. He also seems to deal with cystic acne on his ass (which is SO PAINFUL).

And the side characters. Knubbler lost his eyes and had them replaced. Edgar is a paraplegic due to a car accident, completely wheelchair bound, delusional about his brother’s death (which he overcomes thankfully), and at the same time he’s one of the smartest people in the show tbh. General Crozier deals with PTSD related nightmares. The Metal Masked Assassin was born with albinism, he appears to have deformities, and wears a splint or support after getting his arm broken. Murderface’s grandpa, completely immobile and unable to speak after his stroke. Even Rockzo’s life went completely downhill because of his addiction tbh and I sometimes wonder what kind of person he would be without all the damage from all the coke.

I’m probably forgetting someone and please add on to the list if you want. But I’m just. I’m so impressed. So much representation in a show, and none of it feels forced.

[ir0n-moon]

I think each member of Dethklok represents a different kind of shortcoming creative people need to overcome in order to reach their full potential— whether they call themselves artists or writers or musicians or whatever. Whether they do it professionally or as a hobby. Here's the way I see it:

Murderface represents self-deprecating and self destructive tendencies (i. e. not feeling good enough, wanting to quit, throwing tantrums, general low self-esteem)

Pickles is the drive for instant gratification whether it's via actual substance use or general hedonism ("I'd rather take a nap/smoke a joint and chill for a bit right now, I can totally get to this project later", etc)

Toki represents overly idealistic expectations and maybe also a different type of hedonism, one more focused on literal fun and games ("My art will be so good I'll be famous and everyone will love me, yay! ...Whaaat? I'm supposed to actually work on it? Nah, I'd rather play some videogames today")

Skwisgaar is perfectionism and a general ego, basically the other side of the coin he shares with Murderface ("I am the best and a literal fucking god at this"/Having meltdowns over the slightest mistake you make/"If I'm not as good as I expect myself to be then who even am I?")

Nathan is the tendency to get easily distracted while placing high expectations on one's own work. Plus the persistent guilt of past or potential failure.

BONUS: Magnus represents the resentment felt towards other, more skilled or more "successful" artists, whatever that might mean for each individual person; as well as resentment towards perceived external "threats" or obstacles to one's own success

Yes my point is that every artist has a tiny version of Dethklok living inside their head and whenever they're falling behind on their work it's because one of these guys is winning

[toomanythoughts2]

I need Skwisgaar and Toki to be fucking nasty. And I don't mean whips and chains nasty, I'm talking being banned from Belgium because their sex was in violation of the Geneva Convention. I need the Dethklok minute to have a real-time counter of all the property damage their sex has caused worldwide. I need them to have a on pay-roll professional klokateer in charge of making and updating an Excel spreadsheet of just the different kinks and scenarios they've done and haven't done yet. I need their sex to cause serious debates in Dethklok forums, arguing if excessive eye contact while window shopping on the streets of Pargue is another way they're having sex (It is). I need them to have multiple professional looking and made "leaked" sex tapes.

The only way Skwisgaar is convinced that maybe he is having too much sex with Toki is because he misses 2 notes during practice instead of his allotted 1 missed note. Toki convinces him it's actually because they aren't having enough sex, and they should spend more time boinking to release tension, then practice.

I need them to turn into a Bridgette and Geoff situation from Total Drama Island, where they will not stop making out. Charles has a spray bottle just to get them off each other while in meetings but it only works less than a 1/3rd of the time. I need them to beat every single sex-related world record and then create new ones. Taboo does not exist in their bedroom. They make the taboo look tame. If Toki and Skwisgaar aren't covered in some kind of mark, the government is calling up Charles' office asking if they are ok, because their sex life does in fact control the economy. They can not go through another recession involving a 2 week fight the couple had about the order of the alphabet. (They were both wrong)

Listen, do they participate in the sweet and soft side of a relationship filled with non-sexual intimacy that will rot your teeth out and give you type 2 diabetes? Absolutely. Are they going to fuck inside the belly of the sunken Titanic in a specialized sub so they can be the last couple to ever boink on the ship? Also yes.
