Kendal corrections:

The sword was created by the smith god Tahraim, not Vash.

The storm god is named Tynan, not Tyran.

In the fight with Tynan, Vash lost his whole arm, not just a hand.

Because of how gods and their bodies work in Aurora, calling Kendal (the person) Vash's second incarnation is sort of misleading. It's complicated to explain in full, but "second inhabitant of Vash's body" is the best and most concise phrasing I can think of right now.

In terms of improving the description as a whole, I didn't catch anything to really shorten it*, but I would call attention to the power Vash used to defeat Tynan being the power to summon starfire, since that's an ability the sword retains.

*I tried to, but ended up with a slightly longer summary than yours lol. If you still feel like it's too bulky and you think reading the source will help you figure out the bare essentials, the relevant backstory part of the comic is only 8 pages long and it's easy to tell where the scene changes because of the art style shift. [https://comicaurora.com/aurora/1-12-1/]

Man I cut out some of this from the wiki in an attempt to make the description shorter. What a fool I am

I don't think anything mentioned summoning starfire though so thank you for that detail

Discussion Presentation: Race and Representation

“Beautiful Liar” by Beyoncé ft. Shakira

“Beautiful Liar”, sung by Beyoncé and Shakira, was released in 2007, but has been in development since 2006. Mikkel S. Eriksen, one of the people behind the songwriting and song production process of the Stargate music company, wrote the instrumentals to this song a year before its release. Eriksen was especially proud of its simplicity and ability to carry such strong emotions. When played in front of Tyran Smith, a manager of the company, Smith became the driving force behind the song’s production. He enlisted the work of several other artists to help complete the song; Amanada Ghost and Ian Dench wrote the lyrics and Beyoncé added slight modifications to fit her style of singing. After releasing the song and breaking the Billboard Hot 100’s record of biggest leap in April 7th, 2007, jumping from 94th to 3rd biggest hit, Beyoncé shared her interpretation of the lyrics as a symbol of female empowerment. The women discover that the man they are seeing is courting both of them at the same time, and rather than fight each other for that man, they decide to drop him and ignore his request for a relationship. The subversion from an expected “cat-fight” to a comradery refusal of the male’s acceptance aids the song in shifting the gaze from men to women. “Beautiful Liar” and its powerful message easily allowed it to top the charts internationally, which included the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and New Zealand, and win the MTV Video Music Award for Most Earth Shattering Collaboration in 2007.

“What is the “Black” Black Popular Culture?” by Stuart Hall

Stuart Hall discusses his analysis of the Black community and how their race is constructed and represented. He explains how popular culture, specifically Black popular culture, is identified by their local hopes, aspirations, tragedies, and everyday activities. Beyoncé, a Black woman, and Shakira, a Latina woman, come from two different ethnic cultures that uphold different beliefs on these values, but they are united over their shared experiences as women. They are familiar with how the male gaze views them as sexual objects to be obtained and the tragedies that come from its subjugation. Through their understanding how men treat their community, they are able to place the fault in the man deceiving them. 

Can’t we laugh about it? (oh)

It’s not worth our time (oh)

We can live without him

Just a beautiful lie

Each woman believed that she was his “one and only”, cherishing the hopes and aspirations of having a future with him, until the other woman was made known to them, revealing his deception. Instead of fighting with each other for the gaze of a “beautiful liar”, they decide to not dwell on their individual relationship with him and completely abandon pursuing a future with him. They take in the truth of their experience to work through the tragedy of his betrayal and continue living without him in their lives. 

“The Blackness of Blackness: A Critique of the Sign and the Signifying Monkey” by Henry Louis Gates

In his quest to understand the identity of the Black community and the origins of their representation, Henry Louis Gates unravels the mystery of an African mythology, the Signifying Monkey. The Signifying Monkey is described as the trickster character in many of their stories. In the Monkey, Lion, and Elephant myth, the Lion misinterprets what the Monkey says to him and challenges the Elephant, who promptly sends him back to the Monkey. The nuances hidden behind the signifiers describing the significance instead of analyzing the significance of the signified causes this misunderstanding between the two parties. Beyonce and Shakira experience similar misunderstandings when they confront each other as the secret “mistress” their lover is seeing behind their backs. Both have been signified as the only one for our beautiful liar, and after realizing the signifier of the deception came from him, both Beyonce and Shakira understood the significance of his betrayal.  

(He) kissed me, his one and only (yes), beautiful liar

Initially, this line was used to vindicate the hostility between Beyonce and Shakira, as the man is in a committed relationship to one of them. They, individually, were his one and only, and the “beautiful liar”, was the other woman for suggesting that her man would be unfaithful. However, after learning the truth, this line’s meaning is revealed to us, signifying the lie of him being faithful and the “beautiful liar” referring to himself for deceiving the women. Understanding the situation, the two women reconcile with each other and leave the man to suffer the consequences of his tricks.

“I Am Not My Hair” by India Arie ft Akon

“I Am Not My Hair” was written by India Arie, a Neo-Soul and R&B artist, and was released on November 15, 2005.  Often recognized as one of the most influential female artists of the 21st century, Arie’s work often blurs the line between song and poetry, utilizing her work to promote the beauty of one’s soul. This song reached the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Grammy nominations for Best R&B Song and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance in 2007. Arie was originally inspired to write this song for female cancer patients who lost their hair due to treatment, but during its development process, her message began morphing into one that challenged society’s idealistic view and standard of female beauty. Symbolized through her hair, the expectations of her as a woman are never enough; your hair is too curly, too straight, too nappy, too braided. These beauty expectations have prevented women from controlling the expression of themselves, denying them the ability to express their souls. Arie cut off her own air in a bold declaration of her worth as a person, demonstrating her own identity, individuality, and self love. Her message of self acceptance and empowerment inspired discriminated and marginalized communities to take pride in their appearance, rebelling against the norm being imposed on them and sticking to their cultures. India Arie’s song paved the way for social change and empowerment to strengthen one’s soul.

“What is the “Black” Black Popular Culture?” by Stuart Hall

In analyzing the history of the Black popular culture, Stuart Hall discusses the challenges brought to marginalized communities because of cultural hegemony. He echoes the grievances made by American culture critics that the hegemony always shifting and changing also changes the power dynamics between cultures, meaning that it is always an issue of power. “Nothing ever changes, the system always wins,”. Hall condemns this attitude towards the situation, declaring that it prevents them from developing strategies that can make a difference in these climates. India Arie adapts this oppositional mindset to empower the loss of self females experienced because of the Western beauty standard. Arie is tired of the male gaze defining the representation of who she is as a black woman and the women around her. She reclaims her identity and power by cutting her hair, defying the beauty standards that were imposed on her by the dominant culture. Her bold actions against the hypocritical beauty standards encouraged other women to stand up for themselves and seek the beauty of themselves.

I am not my hair

I am not this skin

I am not your expectations, no (hey)

I am the soul that lives within

No longer shackled by the chains of societal expectations of beauty and race, she does not let the color of her skin, the style of her hair, and the thoughts of others detract from her self worth. She accepts the way that she is, and works towards the dismantlement of the beauty standard and empowerment of women.  

“The Blackness of Blackness: A Critique of the Sign and the Signifying Monkey” by Henry Louis Gates

When trying to identify how the Black community is represented, Henry Louis Gates analyzed other pieces of media that demonstrated the idea of the Signifying Monkey. Their Eyes Were Watching God was one of those films, and it revealed the confusing relationship between the literal and figurative meaning of the signifying. “The apparent significance of the message differs from its real significance. India Arie utilizes this relationship to convey her message through her song. Hair in the song literally refers to the way the Black community had to maintain their hair in order to be accepted in the cultural hegemony. Akon reminisces about the treatment he received with his different hairstyles; nappy hair failed to land him the ladies and dreadlocks failed to land him jobs. It was only when he cut off all his hair, one of the aspects that made him “Black”, that he started seeing success. Following this note, hair refers to Akon’s Black identity figuratively. The unique, distinct style of the Black community’s hair is one of the traits from the Black popular cultures, which easily distinguishes members of the community. It ties them to the other stereotypes that follow the Black community that prevent them from obtaining jobs and turning towards crime to support themselves. Exploring both the literal and figurative meanings of what “hair” allows Arie to tackle the various grievances the Black community experiences.

Discussion Questions

In the analysis of Beyoncé's music video, “Beautiful Liar”, Beyonce and Shakira are able to reconcile their grievances because of their shared experiences interacting with the “beautiful liar”, even though they come from different cultures. How are the various communities that an individual identifies with allow them to be more empathetic towards cultures that completely differ from their own? How can these perspectives be utilized to insight social change like Arie?

Stuart Hall explains the differences between cultures are dependent on their values. “The important point is the ordering of different aesthetic morals, social aesthetics, the orderings of culture that open up culture to the play of power, not an inventory of what is high versus what is low at any particular moment.” How has this discrepancy between the values of different cultures incited conflicts or misunderstandings? Can these discrepancies be used positively? Could you reconcile these discrepancies without compromising the cultural hegemony power dynamic?

India Arie originally wrote her song in order to support female cancer patients as they battle to maintain a positive self image through the loss of their hair. However, the message has evolved to encompass the general empowerment of women and self acceptance. Does the broadened message of Arie’s song dampen the effectiveness of its reception? How does the concept of “signifying” play into the spreading of her message?

Tyran Lee Ingram presents: “Thank the Lord” A minimalistic Christmas song with honest lyrics and a genuine story.

Tyran Lee Ingram is a singer and songwriter who recorded a unique Christmas song titled “Thank the Lord.” This gentle and heartfelt acoustic song reminds us that a late celebration can still shine bright with hope and unity. With relatable yet powerful storytelling, Tyran offers listeners a warm sense of joy that can be felt all year long. Tyran started making music in 2019, and ever since then, he’s been focusing on using songs to share powerful ideas and stories. “Thank the Lord” is no exception. The track is a powerful reminder that it doesn’t matter whether your fridge is half empty or you have a feast awaiting at the dinner table; it’s all about creating special moments with your loved ones! The song talks about scrounging up 20 bucks to get a Christmas tree, but it really doesn’t matter if it isn’t the fanciest option: it’s still enough to warm hearts and put smiles on people's faces - the only light that really matters!

By using only an acoustic guitar and his soft, breathy voice, Tyran creates a direct path to the heart, which really connects with the song's core topic. Fans can easily find truth in the singer’s honest words and down-to-earth sound. In “Thank the Lord,” Tyran blends holiday magic with his unique and minimal approach. The guitar has a bright, percussive sound. It lays a steady rhythm, while each note still rings out clearly. Tyran’s singing style feels close and personal as if he is sitting in the same room, sharing his story. Double-tracked vocals in the chorus give the song more depth, but the verses stay simple to keep the focus on the lyrics.

Listeners who enjoy singer-songwriters such as Damien Rice, Beck, Elliott Smith, Eels, or Tom Petty will find much to love here. Tyran’s easygoing style gives the song a timeless feel. “Thank the Lord” can become a yearly favorite for those seeking a soft and uplifting Christmas tune that has a cheerful acoustic flavor. By celebrating togetherness and hope, the track reminds us to look for reasons to be thankful, even when times are tough.

Tyran’s guitar, heartfelt vocals, and genuine words leave a lasting impression and bring people closer with the song’s warm “fireplace” vibes. This is a perfect pick for anyone wanting to slow down, reflect, and celebrate the simple joys in life, especially around the holidays.

New Sitcom Idea

Basically, Offworlds (aka Aliens, but they wouldn’t use the word Alien because to them it’s a super offensive racial slur)  reveal themselves to Earth and set up a sort of exchange program, where humans get to explore the galaxy while different Offworlders settle down on Earth and explore it’s cultures, slice of life comedy and heartfelt moments ensue. The series would revolve around 3 different households in a neighborhood who function as a sort of “ensemble cast” of sorts, let’s go over them:

The Smith Household

Robert Smith (The no-nonsense, head of household husband and a highschool physics teacher)

Amanda Smith (The bumbling housewife who’s obsessed with gossip)

Hazel Smith (The rebellious oldest daughter who’s often butting heads with her parents)

Steven Smith (The intelligent middle son who’s really good in school and a prodigy in robotics)

Milly Smith (The youngest daughter and has an overactive imagination)

Xavius (An Exvolnid (purple cyborg Offworlder) scientist who came to Earth to learn more about it. He also has a strange obsession with rubber ducks.)

Zagreus (an Exvolnid soldier and the bodyguard of his younger brother, Xavius)

The Rameriez Household (They own a family run Tex/Mex restaurant)

Veronica Rameriez (A afro american cop and the semi-strict type of parent)

Camilla Rameriez (A latin american restaurant owner and the semi-loose type of parent)

Stephanie Rameriez (A popular “mean girl” at her highschool

Reximus Tyran (A famous Tyranodite (Humanoid T-Rex Offworlder) chef who came to Earth to test out its foods and come up with new recipes. His personality would be a mix of Varvatos Vex from 3Below and Allen the Alien from Invincible)

The Wu Household

Himiko Wu (A single mom and a highschool algebra teacher)

Daniel Wu (The street smart and fast talking Wu twin)

Sun Wu (The book smart and level headed Wu twin)

Feebi (A Thiekzu (Humanoid Tree hybrid like Offworlder) high school student who decides to move to Earth for school.)

The show would be called “The Extraterrestrials” and would blend the slice of life comedy of Bob's Burgers, the heartfulness of Bluey, and the ensemble dynamic of the US version of Ghosts

Tyran Guard

The Tyran Guard serve as bodyguards to the emperor of the Vestriga Empire. Chosen from the finest warriors in the imperial legions only those without wives or children are considered. While a great honor when selected to the Tyran Guard the recruit swears off marriage, children and wealth for the remainder of his days. For those that survive the grueling physical training an even greater challenge remains.

In a cruel ritual prospects are given a cocktail of potions followed by having their arms, legs and backs broken. If the prospect survives they will emerge larger, stronger and with a mind as hard as iron. This ritual, the Crossing of the Bull is a crude imitation of Old World magick used to drastically change the physical body.

When one successfully Crosses the Bull they are given a suit of relic plate armor crafted in the form of a minotaur. The titanic weapons and armor of the Tyran Guard are wonders upon themselves all crafted using techniques lost to all but an elite few smiths.

Dear Vector Prime, the Swordbot Shinobi and Samurai Teams from the Aligned Cluster are very interesting Combiners. In what other parts of the multiverse have you heard about their heroics? I always felt their skills would be very useful in the Tyran cluster.

Dear Kensei Quester,

One school of Swordbot Adherents fled the Go Dojo on Cybertron during the early days of the war, and—after a cosmic storm mishap—crash-landed on Earth in what would become western Japan, a mountain forming around their wrecked ship. A young lordling discovered the dormant Swordbots and, believing them to be sleeping envoys of a human deity named Fudō Myōō, successfully petitioned his father to have a temple built around the cave, which would blossom into the lordling's castle town when he succeeded his father.

The Swordbots did not awaken until the early 15th century, and the daimyō's family was surprised to find them infirm and weak. The town nursed them back to health, following instructions given by leader Deep Down to synthesise fuel from coal. The Swordbots learned much from the humans as well; the lord's smiths taught them how to reforge their destroyed ship into new armour and blades, folded many times to make up for its degraded quality. The six adopted new names, easily understood by the humans. The Warfighter Adherents the Samurai Team: On-Stage became Kenzan, Speedbolt became Jinbu, Cliff Face became Ganoh. Meanwhile, the Infiltrators became the Shinobi Team, with Plainswind, Highfly and Deep Down taking the names Gekisoumaru, Hishoumaru and Sensuimaru. They became secret defenders of the castle town, helping the lord's family to stay neutral during the Warring States era. The Swordbots were later joined by Drift, a member of a band of Decepticon "Yōkai" attempting to swindle the town. Ashamed of his actions, he betrayed Shadow Raker and sided with the town, hiding his dishonour with a golden mask.

During the Tokugawa Shogunate, they were visited by Cogman, who had stowed away on a Dutch trade ship disguised as a work of art. On behalf of the Witwiccans, Cogman recorded their presence and swore the town to secrecy—there they remained until 2014, when sadly Lockdown arrived to slay them all and take their priceless blades into his collection. Drift was the sole survivor.

Jay-Z, photographed as he smoked a Hoyo cigar in his Roc-A-Fella Records corner office on John Street in Manhattan’s Financial District by Perou in April 2000. The photo shoot was conducted for the United Kingdom’s Q music magazine. Six years later Jay would hire Perou to photograph him for both an XXL cover shoot and a Rocawear advertising campaign. During the shoot Jigga was in high spirits, and told the photographer that “you’re funny, you can stick around.” But it wasn’t all love from the Roc team—the rap mogul’s longtime bodyguard Hamza Hewitt would tell Perou as he left the building that “if you make my boy look bad I’ll come to London and fuck you up.” When you know the lengths Hamza would go to to ensure his client’s safety this was not a threat to be taken lightly—he took the job of protecting Jay very seriously. On October 31, 2000 he was arrested at Boston’s “Summer Jam” for carrying an unlicensed .40-caliber Ruger handgun backstage while on protection duty. On April 13, 2001 Hewitt was arrested alongside Jay, Tyran “Ty Ty” Smith and his longtime chauffeur Romero Chambers, when [allegedly] a Glock G22 40-caliber pistol was found in their vehicle. Hov had been performing at Angie Martinez’s debut album release party at Club Exit—he made a guest appearance on the track “Mi Amor"—and the NYPD’s "Hip-Hop Taskforce” were staking out the club, waiting for the rap artists to emerge. Jay was freed on $10,000 bail, while Hamza—as the carrier of the weapon—had to cough up $20,000. The rapper was later cleared of the charges when Hewitt plead guilty to third-degree weapons possession. He received a one-year prison sentence. Upon release he worked as a driver for Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory—the co-founder of the Black Mafia Family. #JAYZ @mrperou @rocawear (at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu2QTxolrwe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v51clm2p4uj0
