Hot Topic's New Spokesman Is Tim Curry

[chompmon]

I cant decide who would give the better hugs between kim and harry. Im leanin towards harry cuz he s a big hairy man and would be so happy to do it. Minus points for probably smelling like a wet dog, but assuming he showered properly, nice big warm hugs yes.

Kim you d have to convince and he d be kinda awkward about it. Assuming he agrees and you re not like, complete strangers, he'd prolly be very tender though. His jacket would be comfortable to wrap around you also. Yknow what i mean? Putting ur hands inside his jacket, not the pockets, around the back as you hug him.

Matador - Day 2

Race: Fiend

Alignment: Neutral-Neutral

March 21st 2024

Hailing not from mythology but rather real life bullfighting, Matador is a skeletal fiend who serves as the first major hurdle in Nocturne, as well as marking one of the first examples of a demon in the SMT series not originating in mythology.

Matador literally translates to ‘Bullfighter,’ and historically is a role played by the people in toreador bullfighting events who are tasked with fighting, subduing, and eventually killing the bull in question. Armed with a red capote with a muleta at the top, effectively just a stick with a red cape tied to it, the Matador is the star of the bullfighting show, a fierce opponent to the poor animal.

Contrary to popular belief, the red capote used by the Matador isn’t the actual way they rile up the bulls, and them hating the color red is a common misconception- bulls are actually colorblind! Instead, it’s the nigh-constant whipping of the muleta atop the capote that activates the bull’s fight or flight response, and they almost always choose fight. The reasoning of the red color is to disguise blood stains from battle, as well as tradition.

Bullfighting has been a historical phenomenon from even before Roman times, though it was popularized during the Roman empire’s reign as a form of ritual for the gods. The ritual soon became a common practice in coliseums, and eventually was used to mark the alliance between Rome and Spain circa 711 CE, thus causing it to become a rather common symbol of Spanish nationalism.

Matador in Shin Megami Tensei is an incredibly fearsome demon of the Fiend race, a race consisting almost entirely of Skeletons (and Alice, for some reason). His signature skill, Red Capote, works to raise his evasion to the maximum, a play on how Matadores in real life will drive a bull to attack their capote instead of themselves.

The style and flair Matador uses is common in real-world bullfights as well, flashy clothes used to draw the ire of the audience and make the battle with the bull appear as a performance as much as it is blood sport. The rapier wielded by Matador is a common show in bullfights as well with the intent of dispatching the bull, allowing the actual battle to occur without much contention- it wouldn’t be a fight without a weapon, after all.

Matador is typically one of the more specialized demons, one who leans towards offense and buffs above all, something incredibly fitting for the fancy style and role of a Matador in real life. His specialization in wind/force skills plays into this as well, as a Matador must use great amounts of force to battle with the bull, or, alternatively, they must ‘ride the wind’ in order to engage in a metaphorical dance of death with the animal.

His boss fight in SMT III is one of the most infamous battles in the series, and for good reason- it’s less a difficulty spike and more a difficulty spear. Due to your limited selection of demons and skills at the time you battle with him, the Menorah-desiring demon is a fierce to be reckoned with, to say the least, being one of the most absurdly difficult battles in the series, especially for how early in the game he is.

Thanks to Red Capote and Taunt, two skills which work in tandem to allow him to always hit a far weakened party that will almost never hit him back, the fight effectively communicates the importance of buffs and debuffs in the SMT series over most other JRPG games, as well as serving as an introduction to the Fiends of the series. The ability to use Matador later in the game, and his sheer strength, simply goes to show that this skeleton’s power wasn’t a mere one-off occurrence. Throughout the series, even beyond Nocturne, he appears frequently as a recurring, and incredibly difficult, boss battle.

Overall, this Skeleton, with his unique backstory, design, and skillset, makes his mark as one of my favorite demons in the series. A red flag means death, after all, and the blood shed by this demon to unsuspecting players (and bulls) should not go understated.

I promise I'm working on the rough animatic, I literally wrote down a script and made the rough storyboard because I need this down on paper first. I also changed some things. I'd like to share a rough sketch of the first frame of the animatic. I want to save what the finished frame looks like in the rest I did so far for when it's done. But this frame basically describes what the animatic is going to be about. Nervous giving us a MTV cribs tour of his room

I originally drew this part to draw things he'd have on his dresser. I originally was going to have him have a dresser and a desk. But I think he'd use a dresser for a desk instead, He uses it like a desk anyway because he just puts random shit in the drawers(Homie using a dresser as a computer desk, he's just like me fr). So that's why on paper I didn't have the computer on the dresser

Ignore the ugly ass writing, I made these while at work when I had small breaks

DuckTales Character Songs! (Part 2)

Alright, now we’re cooking here! This time around, I’m going to be focusing on important recurring characters that debuted in Season 1.

Again, giving some brainstorming credit on this to @glowyjellyfish, plus, also, a little bit to @shychick-52, since one of these is in her pinned list.

Flintheart Glomgold

Rasputin by Boney M.

Ah, Rasputin. The Russian mystic who wouldn’t die. And like Rasputin, Glomgold is a very fiery, polarizing character who will say and do anything to get to the top, even if he has to resort to power beyond his normal means (not unlike The 87 Cent Solution!)

Bradford Buzzard

Takin’ Care of Business by Bachman-Turner Overdrive

He didn’t really have a bigger role until Season 3, but he still counts for here! Anyway, Bradford is very serious, by-the-book, and business-oriented, so this song works perfectly for him.

Ma Beagle and the Beagle Boys

Bad Boys by Inner Circle from Cops

Pretty self-explanatory here. Moving on.

Gyro Gearloose

The Scientist by Coldplay

Yes, the title is obvious. But the lyrics can be seen as speaking more to his guilt over his past actions (“Nobody said it was easy, it’s such a shame for us to part,” “I was just guessing at numbers and figures, pulling the puzzles apart,” etc.), such as what happened at Tokyolk and with the Spear of Selene.

Lena

Demons by Imagine Dragons

All throughout Season 1 (and even in later episodes), Lena had personal demons regarding Magica that she couldn’t easily shake. Like the lyrics said, she wanted to hide the truth from Webby and everyone else, but there was nowhere to hide. And she always kept up walls that prevented her from getting too close to people (“Don’t get too close, it’s dark inside.”) And even after she broke from Magica’s control, she was worried that she could still turn out bad, but with the help of others, especially Webby and Violet, she was able to overcome those demons in her mind.

Gladstone Gander

Life Has Been Good to Me by Randy Newman

Gladstone is a naturally lucky character. Whatever happens in the game of life, the dice roll in his favor. I guess other than the events leading up to and within The House of the Lucky Gander!, life is good to him.

Mark Beaks

How Bad Can I Be? by Ed Helms from The Lorax

Life is all about survival of the fittest at times. You gotta do what it takes to survive, even if it means screwing others over. That mindset is 100% Beaks to me. The last half of the song, especially, where the Once-ler is bragging about his business and building an economy, absolutely screams Beaks to me.

Zeus, Storkules, and Selene

Zeus: The Gospel Truth by Lillias White, LaChanze, Roz Ryan, Cheryl Freeman, and Vaneese Thomas from Hercules

Storkules: The Harder They Come by Jimmy Cliff

Selene: Song About the Moon by Paul Simon

I feel it would only be appropriate if I put the three deities of Ithaquack together. First off, I kinda had to throw a Hercules song in there somewhere, and this one brilliantly tells the story of how Zeus came to power. On the second note, Storkules is absolutely a pillar of strength, and he’s very determined, too. Just like the real-life myth and the movie, he will take on any and all opponents, no matter how big or daunting they may be. Finally, we have Selene, the goddess of the moon. The moon is very powerful, graceful, and beautiful, just as she is. The song here explains how in order to write a song about the moon, you need to capture its features, its essence. And in order to write a song about the heart or a face, tie it back to writing about the moon. It just shows how influential the moon can be, just as Selene is in making decisions as a goddess.
