Addicts like me need something to feel, and the rest of me ask never to be free. Doses like you always left me insane, never ask me again to fill my veins with pain.

I´m a a soul from the war that we won. From the grave yards from the ravens eyes to the night
I have licked a vampyriez clitoriz and Satans cock I am Love and rainbows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNDOMa8jBlo
Let me tell you an story about the fallen angel the nobel price winner the oscars winner. The Dragon. let´s start fom me!
aI was born in Helsinki in 94 to explosions. My first memory is my father throwing me up in the air when we won the world cup in hockey 95.
I was a pretty curious child I wanted to look at the world through our window when my father grabbed my leg to save my life. This text is to my mom. who made me play the drums and pushed me to viloin lectures. Bought me drums after drums.
I took an overdose in barcelona 28.11.2019 do to benzowithdrawals. I will come back to this...
When I was 16 I got my first taste of mother nature. I ate some mushrooms i have never been the same.
I was an instution child who did not speak a word of my trip to anyone with mother nature. Try to explain the colors of the rainbow to an adult.
I never spent the nights at home I was with my older friends smoking weed. My best friend at the time called my mom about my weed smoking he hurt me a lot.
I was hiding from the police at my dads friend. untill eventually he had to let me go.
Never felt so alone and abondoned with my guitar. No idea how she came with me guitar are like women. I´ve seen a young woman at 13-16 years split her cheeks becouse she did not want to eat her meds.
I learned pretty quicly to keep to my own. Soon we were playing playstation and made our own food and had our own small apartment. Smoked some hash and listened to music- I had to do something so I started designing logos to companys with my rastas and my skateboard. By company I mean firms that wanted free labor. I have pissed a lot of drug tests by drinking water and citrus to hide thc and cbd from my urine. The only time I got caught was when the instution worker came to my home when I was on leave from the institution.
Don´t let me get started on the social workers.
Anyways I hated adults becouse they all lie. So my child if you read this don´t you be one.
When we had drug leactures in school one in particular warned if you smoke weed you will see a pike from your hand I wear one as a tattoo the jokes on me. Concidence probably...
The first dog I got close to bit me and the first cat clawed me.
Me and my friends are guys you would no want to to show to your mom exept me of course.
For an exemple after doing music the whole night we went for a cigarette and it was to damn cold so we order a taxi we wanted away. Imagine partying the whole night and you find yourself at the airport. Then bum a couple of beanzodiapines from a friend thats even more than this story.
Wake up by machine guns by the frankfurts police after getting a few ours of shut eye and telling them that we just want to get to the sun. My dear friend had weed leftowers in his pocket when we were supposed to fly to dubain where there is death penalty for marijuana so he threw hes jacket in the waiting lounge. And we were fine.
We woke up in bangcock and I called my mom. We had arrived. Then I fucked a transexual high on valium and on local alcohol. I was scarred shitless that I might have aids. I survived despite the ratio in Bangkok. the local hookers in bangkok has a ratio of 20% of aids that means 2 girls of 10 have aids and I fucked a man. I survived
After travelling for one month in thailand we went for cambodia.
We travelled to sihanoukville to beach otres 3. We went one night to a jungle party. After returing to otres during the sunrise I saw a man playing the guitar near him was cajun drum set. We started playing together we did not speak a word. It was blissful, We changed back and forth. He said to me follow your dreams. Then I saw a local drug dealer who sold me edibles. I hade one of the most meaningfull days of my life while I watched the cambodian ocean from dusk till dawn I realized there is nothing wrong with me and how beatiful mother nature.
Then we went by bus to the city were pepper grows. Kampot.
Next destination was Vietnam.
We arrived in Saigon Ho Chí Minh city. We bought crystal meth and heroin. And a own hotel room after we realized we can´t live our life in a hostel room with 10 other smelly britts.
I realized I need a guitar to be doing this journey.
When you smoke crystal What feels like 5 minutes is 5 hours when you try to get the perfect hit. Stay away from meth.
I had bought an guitar earlier so I went high as fuck to play the guitar.
People took videos of me and wanted to talk to me. I just played my new guitar.
My friend was in the hotel room still trying to get the pefect hit. Stay the fuck away from crystal meth.
Then I went back to my hotel room and started sniffing heroin like the rockstar I thought I was like all my idols before me. Just like magic I found davids magic chord hallelujuah.
The next day we we trying to get our next fix but the local police was doing a drug razzia. I know we had guardian angels on our our side. We were fine. Guardian angels was protecting us. So we left to to Phu Quoc to escape the city. We went snorkeling. While my friend was with his friends. I ate a ton of tramadols and I was swimming with dolphins.
Then we flew to Hanoi. We were high all the time as you might have guessed.
I ate a bunch of a benzodiazepines and some codeine and went for some tattoos. I now bare a black raven on my left hand.
It got me some pussy it took just a couple of months.
Then we went to Laos. First to Vientiane then to Vanvieng.
We took a hostel room. And started doing drugs. Vanvieng is sketchy they sell almost everything. So we started doing drugs.
When we got to our hostel my friend got in trouble first for smoking weed then for smoking opium. We should be sitting 7 years in a sweaty laos prison sell. Thanks to my brilliance I saved us from that hell.
We were on the balcony enjoying our night spliffs of opium when sudenlly there was 7 undercover cops trying to harras us.
We just pushed them away. They were small you know how asians are. I flushed all the drugs down the toilet. We knew we had to move on.
So we just went down the town and rented a pair of bungalows.
I got hooked up on opium pretty fast... Played one gig and tried to play an other but I got kicked out pretty fast beacouse had an opium spliff in my mouth and the guitar in my other hand. To explain to you my dear reader. in Laos there is a seven year jail sentence for opium, we are lucky to be charleen and still free.
In laos there grows a lot of magic mushrooms. So me and my dear friend ate some. After beign awake on the local methamphetamine called Yaba. We drank a couple of magic mushroom shakes. It took 15 minutes to hit. We had to leave everybody and get to our bungalows to our safe place.
At one poin of the trip I thought my friend had died. Thanks to our guardian angels he was just laying beside me.
Then I continued doing opium and playing my guitar.
One night when I was sleeping I got woken up by a britt by playing golden brown form the stranglers. We were going to harvest mushrooms for his trip to wherever he was going. My friend and he had stayed up all night probably smoking crystal. He told me stay away from opiates it will eat your soul.
Next to our bungalows there was a jungle full of mushrooms. We picked a lot of them for him... I hope he had a great trip where ever he may roam. May the force be with you.
I was already addicted to opium so my friend had to carry me to the bus away from Vanvieng to Vientiane. We did all the typical turist thing in Van vieng before you start to cry.
The Tubing the Jungle the caves and the springs.
We went back to Thailand there and then I made the promise to never travell sober again.
We arrived in Chang Mai and fast travelled to Pai. To Pai sircus school hostel. There were guys jamming all the time. I felt at home. We did the basic turist things borrowing scooters and watching waterfalls. Drank the local wine and had a hangover like nothing else.
We went to see the white buddha. I showed him the middle finger an took a selfie. I know I know I was ignorant child and if the customs see the pictures I have curfew to Thailand.
After seeign the white buddha we drank mushroom milkshakes. I was laying in my hammoc when I closed my eyes there he was Buddha. I asked him to be gentle on me and not to talk about my tattoos. He listened. He showed me his beatiful world while my friend was puking his garbage out and somehow managed to make a puppy dissapear after the puppy eat the vomit. I asked God what do you want from me why do I hurt this much, I don´t want bad to anybody show me a sign. I was enlightened but a young drug addict so the struggle contiunued to the next day the struggle continues to this day.
Then we travelled to Pattaya long story short my friend fucked a russian and I did drugs planning our trip to europe...
We took some tattoos. then we flew to Barcelona.
I had arrived I felt at home.
My friend knew a few guys who rented a place to stay so we stayed there.
One day we were sitting on in a bar on the terass and listening to live punk music. We got the splendid idea to just forget about the bill. And run away.
Then we asked a couple of police the way to see the champions league, that was going on on the same day that is when the trouble began.
We walked la rambla and a couple of swedish girls caught us asking us were are you going? we said the we are going to look at football.
They followed us. One of the girls acted as a terapeut so I spilled my whole life story to her. Of course she lied she was no terapeut just a horny swede. We kissed in a night club and she suddenly said to me let me sit on you in the bathroom go buy some condoms.
I was on my way to buy the condom when I met a heroine junkie who had a condom I wanted to try heroin so I went with him.
Bought some heroine and brought the condom but the nightclub was closed. I am lucky my friend was walking through la rambla against all odds.
we made it safley to our place...
Next morning I did speed balls In my room. I had bought cocaine earlier. My friend had tooth ache so I gave him so cocaine to ease the pain.
We had to move on...
So we took an hostel for our remaining days. I went to search more heroine. Like the curious junkie I was. Pretty fast I met some junkies either crack heads or heroine junkies. We went for an adventure they took me to lion's den an awful drug hole I bought some heroine. When I got out there they were the undercover cops. They searched me and found my bag of smack. I was honest to them and they promised nothing will happen to you. I love Barcelona.
I will come back to Barcelona I moved there couple of years later.
Then we travelled to Sweden and by bout to Turku Finland.
When we arrived in Turku we started drinking compulsively we almost got thrown out from our train to helsinki.
When we arrived we went to our friends apartment as usual we could not behave so we started wrestling and we got throwned out with my friend.
His neighbours had called the cops.
We went to jail to the lock up. The copps were probably jelous of our tan so I masturbated to their cam.
Then I stayed a couple of nights with my mom. Untill I needed to find an apartment a childhood friend called Ronja saved my ass I moved into her apartment in Helsinki where she let me live there for free. Bought some fentanyl first then started doing oxycontin and heroine and benzodiazapines I was a total mess.
After two months living there I moved with my guitar and amp to Kallio a suburb in helsinki. I was a total mess. I was seeign this beatiful girl named Natlaia she had a child and was a single parent I played the guitar a lot to her child and her I was hooked on opiates then. I remember one morning when I decided to quit drugs for good I woke up with withdrawals and saw her child on the floor. Then and there I quit opiates I wish it was last time I touched opiates.
I started smoking lots of marijuana to deal with the withdrawals it was not to bad. Thanks to the weed.
I had to figure out what to do with my life I was 21. I have friends in Sicily so I called one of them and decided to move to Palermo to work as an bartender.
Life in Palermo was hard but fun lot´s of drinking and live music in one of Sicilys best aperitivo/bars there is called Il siciliano.
My dear friend tattoo artist came to visit we played a lot of guitar. One day we took the train to Catania and walked from the train station almost all the way to Etna we hitchhiked the last kilometers. Made a fire and slept on the base of Etna. Then walked the whole way up we were companied by dogs. When we reached the top we drank a couple of beers like the kings we are. The workers were happy to see that two guys had walked the whole way instead of taking the car up.
My friend then moved to Barcelona I soon followed him there to live my dream to play the guitar. My drug use went from hand pretty fast. So I moved to Finland to escape it all. It went good for an while.
I lived with one of my best friend and he wanted us to go to Talinn so we went and we drank a lot. Went to the horehoes fucked hookers and drank some more. When we came back to Finland I had my seond encounter with a demon. We fucked and she slapped me and said don`t you ever fuck a hooker again. I love demons. They might hate me and I may die any second know.
Then I started doing oxycontins again. I went to seek help from the hospital. I pored my heart to them. I was ready to go to rehab. In Finland it is not the way it goes. You have to be sober when you are seeking for help. They gave me some pills and said go home and sleep and gave me a number to call.
I started doing even more oxycontins. I took my Fender Jaguar and flew back to beatifull Barcelona. With my opiate addiction.
I was doing telemarketing In swedish soon I was fucking my boss. She is still beatifull. I got hooked on the local opium. It`s a wonderful medicine if used correctly- Don`t you dare reader get this message wrong. There is nothing wrong with substances they are just molecules. I am the problem an I hope you don`t cary the same diseas as I.
I quit cold turkey opium thanks to weed. Instead was doing local amphetamines/meth mix 5 euro per gram.
The guy who I lived with in Kallio moved to Barcelona so I quit opium there and then. For an while...
I did speed and lsd and benzodiazapines instead.
Now is when things get out of hand.
I wanted to come down from the amphetamines after I had been playing guitar with my friend so I went to go buy some opiates.
I thought the cops were following me and that they were going to arrest me. So when I got home I cleaned my computer and ate the gram of opium shitt my pants and woke up in the hospital . My friend saved my life against all odds. I am alive thanks to him. And capable of writing this becouse of him. I should be dead. All my vitals was as good as gone. The first thing after the darkness I saw a bright light and my friends who were pissed of at me. And then a beatiful doctor who thought that I might be bi-polar I fell in love right away.
Most of the staff in Barcelonas hospital were women and they treated me like a prince, exept one who liked my in uter tattoo and said that you need to eat more. I masturbated to one of nurses she was super hot black hair and she drew some blood from me. I apologize for my honesty this is my life I´m Love and Rainbows.
Little did I know that my life would change for ever. My dear friend had at the same time arrived to come and visit me. So he came everyday to the hospital too bring me food and borrow his phone and his headphones. What a nice vacation. It was the most psychedlic experience of my life. I had a brain injury. My dear friend is a nurse so he knew right away that everything was not okey with me. Thanks to my looks him and a girl called Mia I got to stay in the hospital for as long as I did. Mia is an angel she came everyday to the hospital to keep me company. I owe her a lot. She is an aspiring actress. Very beatiful.
We flew with my friend to helsinki. No one knew yet that I had a traumatic brain injury everybody suspected something. Not me I thought I was fine. So when we arrived at the airport in helsinki we went with my mom and her man to the hospital once again. They said that I should seek help for my drug abuse. When I od:eed there was every single drug in my system expet alcohol.
I could not even get my pants on or shitt or piss correctly. So we went back to the hospital and they took an mri scan. And there thay found that I have holes in my brain.
So there started my 6 months rehabilitation.
I had to learn basic thing again like the clock and math every language I speak. I was a patient in the neurological part of the hospital. Do to the overdose i got bedsores and had to get a few operations. So lucky me I was high on opiates again. This time leagaly.
My dear friend brought me a guitar. I had to learn to play again. I´m pretty sure thats why recovered so quikly even listening to music does wonders for the brain so imagine playing it. My mother took my phone away she was scarred that my friends might bring me drugs. So she brought me a lot of books. She bought me Nirvanas Kurt Cobains biogarphi. Like to junkie I am I started to stash my leagal opiates. My other friend had brought me his playstaion and a tv. So I put my headphones in the tv and listened to Nirvana in my hopital bed in the middle of the room high on opiates. Then and there I decided that I most learn to play the guitar once more. Slowly but steadily I improved. I went to speech theray, neuropsychology therapy and played my guitar everyday. The hospital worker showed me how to take a shower. He liked to hold my hand while we walked. Thought me how to propely dose drugs and buy shitt from the grocery. A very fine and fine man.
I also read the book the power of now. It changed my life I started to meditate.
I went every evening around 10 pm to an isolated room to play guitar and trying so sing. It slowly got better and better. Then the doctor slowly but surely weaned me of the opiates.
I wanted help with my addictions so I started to see a drug rehab worker. She was amazing. We spoke a lot we had common intrests she had seen Nirvana live in Turku I´m jealous. She said to me one day that you have to read Petri Wallis and Kingston walls biography. Know you fucker who read this Biographi go to listen shine on you. They might be the best band Finland has ever produced. Thanks Jukka Jylli Sami Kuppamäkki and Petri Walli. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H\_tvqsENfUY
After I was realized from the hospital I was institutionalized going to the store was weird beign free was weird. I relapsed pretty fast.
Played my guitar too. Then I moved to east Helsingfors lived by my own trained pretty hard and played music during the weekends with my friends.
Then on the exact day when I should have died or be an vegetable a few years back I went and bought speed and subutex. That was a big mistake I got voices in my head attacking me and judging me. A doctor would call it a psychosis I call it stupidity and faith. I went to the hospital and saw a doctor. He asked me what´s going on. I said that I felt psychedelic that your the doctor know. He gave me diazepam and neuroleptics. I was fine the voices dissapeared.
I got hooked on benzodiazapines once again pretty quikly... I was hooked on the local xanax that was probably laced with fentaly. The withrawals were horrible.
Then I moved back to the city were I was born Tölö. On my birthday turning 27 I played my guitar in the heart of Helsinki were I live and was born. I guess I played good or so I remember. I was going through benzo-witharawal once again. Then I smoked weed felt like a king. Untill I went to bed the voices attacked me again. I still hear them to this day. Calling me disturbing things almost all the time. Exept when I play guitar. Not to be arrogant, reader if you happen to be a scizophrenic you are special. I dare to say a chosen one. There is succeful people with voices in their head. Like John frusciante who has had voices since he was 7 encouraging him to pick up the guitar. Anthony Hopkins voices doubting him before he is about to act. Socrates as well. Gandhi, Saint Joan of Arc
Winston Churchill, Brian Willson and of course a story of an artist Daniel Johnston. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKW2H0WBqW8
Demons home is our hell demons home or our hell?
I´m possessed by a demon who is never satified he lives in my head and learns me things like music and who I should trust.
He is a shapeshifter I think that´s pretty cool. He calls me a fraud. We are the same he is me so who is the fraud?
He is a fallen soldier. A fallen angel or so he says. He is also a demon. He loves rock n roll. We are nothing alike. We are alike Or so he says. Finally I met somebody who loves music as much as I. He comes from Hell I from Helsinki. He is starting to understand that I have no other fucking choice than to play my guitar untill I die. Do to my small deal with the king of this universe... Mr Satan
I walked to the crossroads playing the blues put my guitar down and sold my soul for exchange for fame and glory and the mastery of the guitar... I am love and rainbows
I see demons and vampires. I fell in love with a vampire she is something totaly diffrent she is a God damn vampire. She is also a Indian an Ballet dancer Shapeshifter and hot and beatiful there is not a way to describe her she is the most beatiful woman I have ever seen. She keeps dissapearing and returning all the time. She is good to me even though she could be evil so I hope I can trust her. I brought he a red rose once and she took it. Tha´ts magic. She returned it to me when I ordered food. I assume she does not like when I order kebab. She may eat me I love her. I owe everything to them my life they saved me against all the ods. The most difficult thing in my life is to choose sides between good and evil so I choose my own side follow or don`t!

​

~ General Recommendations (All Consoles) For Anyone Who Can't Decide ~

First off, I won't recommend big or famous games like Final Fantasy or Persona, this is more for lesser know, hidden gems, or just games where it's hard to find someone talking about them.
​

[Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children]

An amazing game, with complex and deep gameplay system, add to that a varied and loveable character cast, and more importantly, a very interesting and really fun world.
The plot is set in a contemporary earth, but one where mutants exist, think X-men but with less earth shattering powers and more practical ones. So it's really fun to see how the world and characters deal with these powers, how they affect technology, social classes, crime and crime fighting, and even the fauna and flora of the world. All of that is accompanied by a beautifully hand drawn art and amazing soundtrack.
That alone is worth the price of admission, but then you add the fact you can spend easily tens, no, hundreds of hours just customizing everything about your characters through:

• Tiered gear (common/rare/epic/legendary), and even Unique and Set gear.
  
• Upgrading classes, and having them matched with different Elemental and mutant powers.
  
• A mastery system so deep and so complex that you can easily spend days just playing around with. I can't explain it here since it would take too long, but check this old comment of mine talking and explaing. (Link to comment)
  
• Being able to upgrade and craft your own gear and consumables. Even Legendary, Unique ones.
  

If that wasn't enough, then you add a whole system for capturing and collecting monsters, even rare and Legendary types. Then for a cherry on top, you can also collect and customize robots.
All of this and I haven't even talked about the amazing soundtrack yet. The devs still update the game every week till now with new content (go and check the steam page updates), even though the game came out 4 years ago. They even gave out their first big DLC content for free, and they even reply to every review personally till this day, we are talking over 7K reviews here.
Note: The English translation is good but since this is translated from Korean, it doesn’t have the best localization. So the game is perfectly understandable, with nothing that will hinder your enjoyment unless you are someone who is really bothered by games that lack great localization.

[Valkyria Chronicles]

[Valkyria Chronicles 4]

This one is really hard to explain through words alone, but just in case, the VC series is a World War 2 military setting story, where you act as the lead of a squad and take mission to drive back the enemy. The story is drama heavy and the gameplay is tactical turn-based, but it's mixed with real-time third person shooter.
You can also make your own army by recruiting different types of solders, training them and upgrading their gear. From rifles to tanks, this is a game you have to experience to understand.

[Monster Sanctuary]

This is a solid game, everything in is polished and balanced to make sure you are having fun collecting new monsters and customizing your team through evolution/skill trees/gear and making the best in-sync party you can. I only wish it was longer, it's not short by any means, but it's not long either. I would say depending on if you're trying to "catch them all" and explore everything and fight all bosses, this could easily be a 30+ hours game, but if you focus on the story, then it's about 20 to 30 hours. Now even longer with the 2 new free DLC expansion added.
Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining that it's short, but that I was having so much fun, that I wish it didn't end.

[Ni no Kuni] Series

If you're looking for that great Isekai fantasy adventure feel, then these two games are where it's at. Fantastic visuals and great music, coupled with a great art style, a combo that is perfect for a chill and relaxed gaming experience. Especially when talking about the first game, with the help ofStudio Ghibli, they managed to make a truly whimsical world with that Studio Ghibli classic touch.

- Important Note: The games aren't connected story-wise, so you can start with any of them -

[Wrath of the White Witch]

For a the best fantasy adventure feel, while the combat is a hit or miss depending on your taste, don't let that stop you from actually diving into a true fairy tale world, this is the one with the better story in my opinion, so if you want more story than game, this is for you. Still it has a good share of gameplay, from raising and collecting Pokemon-like monsters, to learning and using different spells, not just in combat but for the overworld too.

[Ni no Kuni™ II: Revenant Kingdom]

This one focuses more on gameplay, with a Kingdom builder, Army battles, Heavy loot focus, and even character collector, this is the one to go with if you want more game than story. Still has the great music and he fantastical art style and setting. Add to that a lot of side activities like beating rare monsters, collecting cute creatures to help you in battle, and even going around the world to gather people to help you build your kingdom. You'll never be short on things to do.
Finally, both of them have beautifully draw world that is just a pleasure to walkthrough, made even better with the amazing orchestral soundtrack.

[Ys series]

This is a case of a whole series is filled with great games, it's really hard to go wrong here.
But if you're going to choose one, then this one is an easy pick. Fantastic soundtrack ? check! Great Smooth Action gameplay ? check! Dogi the wall breaker ? check! Base building and crafting ? check! and check! So if you're looking amazing music while you hack and slash your way through monsters and bosses, then Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA is easily your go to game.

[Wolfstride]

It's a Mecha Arena Fighter where the actual fighting is about 20% of the game. The rest is just running through this very stylistic world, filled with a lot of mini-games, a story set in an alternative history of our real world (if it had different races and mechs I mean), great voice acting, social bonding system, customization, and just a really content heavy game. The start is a bit slow, but once the ball gets rolling your will have a lot to do. It's a really fun game especially if you are a fan of 90s anime.

[Blue Dragon] & [Lost Odyssey]

These two are classic titles that will probably won't be ported to or remade to modern consoles. That's why this might be the last way you'll ever get to experience 2 classic titles of the genre. Lost Odyssey has great story writing and unique character settings, and Blue Dragon has great exploration and a really fun character class customization system, and one hell of a boss theme.

[Legend of Mana Remaster]

A Fantastic game in everything except it's combat, which is average. Though with this remaster, you can even turn off combat any time you want. The remaster in itself is great, polishing up the visuals and adding a ENTIRE orchestral version for each track in the game, and this is a game with an amazing soundtrack by Yoko Shimomura. So now you can switch between the original OST and the new orchestral one at any time.
The game follows an open-world concept with lots of freedom and giving you the choice on where to place each city/kingdom/dungeon on the map, and depending on how you do it, you'll unlock better weapons, items, quests, and so on.
It's a great game that you need to experience to know how good it is.

[SaGa series]

It would take too long to explain everything here in detail. So if you want to know if the series is something you might enjoy, then check this thread to learn about the series, and where to start:
(Link to "Where do I start with the SaGa series")

As always, please do add your own recommendations, and let me know if there is mistake or if something was missing, and have a nice day.

Esa gente que alaba y venera a Hitler, es antisemita, racistas, pero son latinos, ¿que mierda tiene en la cabeza?, el tipo del bigote lo primero que hubiera hecho si no lo hubieran detenido en Europa es meter a la mayoría de latinoamericanos a campos de concentración, un ex compañero de Facebook me invito a unirme a un grupo de nazis en Facebook y me empezó a dar un discurso de la raza superior, el tipo era tan estúpido que tenia 21 y estaba con un montón de tipos de 17 en el instituto porque perdió un chingo de grados, luego me dio un discurso de como la raza aria debe dominar el mundo y como antes lo dominaban hasta que los judíos los desplazaron, lo mas gracioso que su grupo esta lleno de teóricos de conspiraciones pendejas como los chemistrals, los chips en las vacunas o compartiendo mierdas de como las antiguas civilizaciones eran de gente rubia de ojos azules pero los judíos modificaron las cosas

Está vez siento que es menos que otras veces, pero aquí tenemos ejemplos de subfacciones de los necrones para que tengan ejemplos para crear tú propio ejercito. Estoy seguro que más de uno se sorprendera al leer éstos pequeños resúmenes.

Dinastías menores

Aquí están las dinastías más pequeñas que pueden tener de 1 mundo hasta unas cuantas decenas. Normalmente son una gran amenaza pero cualquier fuerza coordinada puede causar una gran amenaza para estás. - Dinastía Nekthyst: Un montón de idiotas deshonrosos, ególatras, crueles, rencorosos, insoportables y en general un grano en el culo traicionero.. - Dinastía Altymhor: una de las pocas dinastías Necronas que mantienen esclavos no Necrones. - Dinastía Charnovokh: Behemoth destruyo muchos de sus mundos y conmemoran esa perdida en cada batalla. - Dinastía Ogdobekh: fueron inteligentes y dieron apoyo logístico y político a los Crypteks, que evitaron que su tecnología y armamento de deteriorará. Su Patriarca decidió volverse Matriarca. - Dinastía Novokh: Van a melee y combate cercano ya que se sobreestimulan al sentir la sangre corriendo sus cuerpos. También les gusta destruir lunas. Hace poco Mortarion liberó plagas sobre ellos, similar a una tecnoviruela. - Dinastía Nephrekh: Cubiertos de Oro, y con mundos con muchos recursos. Su Phareon alaba al Sol y busca volverse un dios de Luz Dorada. Tienen tecnología que se basa en oro y luz. - Dinastía Oruscar: Rivales acérrimos de la Dinastía Sautekh y están en posesión del Planetario Celestial. - Dinastía Dyvanakh: repelió un asedio de un Mundo Forja cercano mientras se recuperaban de su despertar, busca sus Mundos Tumba desaparecidos sin saber que fueron destruidos. - Imperio de los Separados(Severed): Se les borró toda la memoria y los gobierna la IA de su mundo Maestro. Ahora busca asimilar todas las dinastías aunque también ha aprendido a controlar otras razas. Piensa en Skynet pero con necrones. - Dinastía Kayra y Rykat: estaban en guerra y enviaron Omnicidas para asesinar a sus líderes, los dos tuvieron éxito y ahora ninguna tiene lider. F - Dinastía Oroskh: desapareciendo lentamente a causa que Alaitoc inserto el virus Desollador en sus sistemas en un sabotaje. - Dinastía Sarnekh: su mundo descansaba bajo los restos de una gran batalla con Eldars en la Guerra del Cielo. Su actual Phaeron llego al poder Hackeando el control maestro del Mundo Tumba, y se declara el rey de los piratas. - Dinastía Sekemtar: Conquistada por Imotekh durante las Guerras de Secesión. - Dinastía Suhbekhar: aparece en Outer Reach del juego de rol Deathwatch. - Dinastía Kardenath: libran una guerra omnicida en la galaxia e intentan robar el Planetario Celestial. - Dinastía Ketatrix: la dinastía que aparece en Warhammer Adventures. - Dinastía Agdagath: Tuvo que abandonar uno de sus Mundos debido a la invasión los Desolladores. - Dinastía Neokhares: La dinastía que controló el Motor Mundial . - Dinastía Ithakas: Rey 2 Veces Muerto - Dinastía Tsarakura: una dinastía pequeña pero ambiciosa. Pelea contra Ogdobekh, Samekh y Thokt en tácticas de Kill Team. - El Reino de los Huesos de Drazak: Ubicado en Ghoul Stars, solo contiene Desolladores a Valgûl el Caído. - Dinastía Atun: Dejaron sus reliquias renacimiento en conserva. Se dice que alberga muchas de las antiguas maravillas de la galaxia. Salieron del mar con fuerza. Se enviaron fuerzas a detener su torrente. Pero ahora avanzan para poner a todos en escabeche.

Dinastías mayores

Aquí son las principales fuerzas de la galaxia en el bando necron y las que más guerras han tenido con el imperio a gran escala, sin embargo recordemos que siguen siendo pocos mundos, ya que Sautekh tiene alrededor de 100 mundos. - Dinastía Szarekhan: Dirigidas por el Rey Silente. Buscan volverse los posterboys de los necrones, ya que podría ser la dinastía más grande y poderosa. Todos sus soldados poseen protección de piedra negra. - Dinastía Sautekh: La antigua dinastía más grande y poderosa. Y la que eran los posterboys. Liderados por Imotekh. La más expansionista y agresiva por obvios motivos. Con varias dinastías vasallas. - Dinastía Maynarkh: La dinastía favorita/mimada de Forgeworld y la que más hace referencia a los necrones de la vieja escuela(pre-retcon). Buscan erradicar toda vida. Y están arrasando en la caída de Orfeo. Dieron muerte verdadera a un C'tan, pueden quebrar el tiempo y les encanta usar agujeros negros para todo. Sus personajes son aterradores y poderosos, y sus flotas y armamento más. - Dinastía Nihilakh: Demasiado Xenofoga y aislacionista. Arrasaron con cualquiera que entrara en su territorio, pero ahora buscan expandirse. Tienen un Señor Supremo (no confundir con su Phareon) un tanto conocido, pero es tratado como un rarito, se llama Trazyn. - Dinastía Mephrit: Resuelven todos sus problemas destruyendo estrellas o volviéndolas supernovas. Roban energía a estrellas cercanas puesto que perdieron mucho de su antiguo armamento. También perdieron su Phareon entonces están en guerra por el poder. - Dinastía Thokt: Utilizan algún tipo de radiación azul de fisuras de vacío como baterías. Estan peleando contra orkos en guerra de desgaste.

​
Deep breaths, Khornel. Deep breaths. You can do this. How hard could it be?
​
My heart pounded in my chest as I continued my attempts to control my breathing. Surprisingly enough, it wasn’t the concert itself that had me so anxious. Rather, it was what I had planned for it, and for Michael.
​
“Aright, dear. I’m going to remove the coverings now. Hopefully I’ve done this right. It’s been a while since I’ve messed with cosmetic dyes, and even then I was working with fur, not feathers.”
​
“How long…exactly?”
​
“About…two decades… give or take a cycle or two. I was still in my rebellious teenage phase back then. Oh, you should’ve seen me. I looked like an amateur art project back then!”
​
I felt the pressure over my eyes slowly begin to loosen as the coverings were removed. I had to admit, I was excited. I’ve never really…DONE anything like this before. And with Ms. Teylim here with me, it really felt like we were having our own little girl’s paw out, even though we were still in her home.
​
“By now, the dye should’ve had plenty of time to set in. If at any point you feel like removing it, come to me and we’ll get it cleaned out properly. For now, let’s just see how we did.”
​
Letting the moment of anticipation sit for a bit, Ms. Teylim finally removed the coverings completely.
​
GASP!!
​
I opened my eyes and almost panicked when I heard her gasp. She took a step back and kept her paws over her mouth. She looked absolutely dumbstruck as she kept staring at me. Whether that was a good or bad thing was still up in the air.
​
“Well…how do I look?”
​
Her eyes watered as she lowered her paws back down, revealing her bright, caring, smile. She reached to the side and grabbed a hand mirror.
​
“I think you’ll find it speaks for itself, Dear.”
​
She raised the mirror and-
​
GASP!!
​
This time it was my turn to be shocked. I turned my head from side to side, inspecting myself. And the more I looked, the more I seemed to blush, adding a cascade of purple to go along with the light blue…along with the new bright, fiery, orange of my feathers.
​
Is this…really me?
​
“I know I haven’t said it as often as I should, Khornel, but you truly are beautiful.”
​
I…guess I am…aren’t I?
​
A new feeling began to fill me up, a feeling that I’d been feeling more and more this past month. Ever since I met these wonderful people, since I met…him. Confidence.
​
Here I come, Michael!
​
Memory Transcript Subject: Michael Ruiz Andrews, Human Refugee Date:[Standardized Human Time] December 30, 2136
​
“Ladies and Gentlebeings of Five Meadows! First of all, I’d like to thank each and everyone of you for-“
​
This is absolutely fine.
​
The stage was built. Up front were several mic stands and a small bench for anyone singing to sit on if they weren’t standing. Behind it was the curtain, currently closed, with a slightly panicked me pacing behind it.
​
This is fine. This is completely and utterly fine.
​
The audience was here, a good three quarters of the town all in this one plaza. Dohkar was already on stage giving a speech.
​
This is fine. They’ll be here. They’ll totally be here.
​
Tohba was in the audience at the moment. Scullen and Trivah were watching him until it was time for him to come up on stage with me for our song. Of course, he COULD be right here…
​
[Warning!: Anxiety Response Climbing…]
​
This is fine! I’m fine! Completely and utterly fine!
​
Unfortunately, Tey and Khornel were still NOWHERE TO BE FUCKING FOUND AND THE SHOW IS LITERALLY RIGHT ABOUT TO START!
​
I AM NOT FINE!!!
​
WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY?!
​
I continued my pacing behind the stage. Of all the times for things to go wrong it just had to be now.
​
Come on, Tey. Where ARE you?!
​
“Good paw, Michael.”
​
I jumped and spun around, almost having a heart attack in the process. Admittedly, I was so caught up in my manic pacing, I hadn’t noticed Tey finally arrive. Except, there was still someone missing.
​
Thank fuck!
​
“Tey! Where the hell have you been? And where’s ‘Nel?”
​
She seemed to be almost amused by my panic.
​
“Sorry. Had to make sure we were ready. But everyone’s here now, so why don’t we just relax for a bit.”
​
Relax? Relax?!
​
“With all that being said, I sincerely hope you enjoy the performance.”
​
My panic instantly increased again once I realized Dohk was done with his speech.
​
“Relax? Tey, we’re literally right about to go on!”
​
“And miss the opener?”
​
Error 404: Michael.exe has stopped working.
​
“What are you talking about? WE’RE the opener!”
​
She gave me a sly look while pulling out her pad.
​
“Change in the program. The three of us go on second. Someone ELSE is doing the opener.”
​
“What?! Who?!”
​
I looked at the pad, showing a live feed of the show. The person I saw, the singer on stage, those fiery markings around their eyes…
​
Wait. Is that a secretary bird?
​
Suddenly, I heard the swell of strings, followed by-
​
[Warning!: Anxiety Response Falling Back To Acceptable Levels…]
​
Dios Mío. ¿Qué es ese sonido?
​
Another tense chord came from the strings, sailed over by another angelic whistle from the secretary bird. The two fell in with each other as she continued her melancholic tune. She precisely landed each note while expertly navigating the space in between.
​
The tune fell into a brief moment of silence. It was only then…that I recognized her.
​
“…’Nel?”
​
Suddenly, the strings began plucking, bouncing beneath her long, gliding melody. She brought in little staccato notes of her own that danced along with the plucked strings. Her technique was honestly impressive, honed and practiced. Her whistle continued to dance along as the song carried on, getting more and more intense.
​
Sharp, supporting, chords from the strings, bringing the volume of the piece higher and higher. ‘Nel raised her volume right alongside them, taking breaths wherever she could just to match them.
​
The tension rose and rose as brass and percussion joined the ensemble, just adding more power with their blasting tones.
​
But, just as it all reached a climax, everything else fell away, leaving ‘Nel’s whistle to carry on alone.
​
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, or seeing now that I think about it. I just stood there, stunned as she continued her solo, dancing across the higher notes before bringing them back down.
​
After a moment to catch her breath, she stalled herself on just three notes that she repeated again and again, faster and faster, ridiculously fast! She brought the pitch higher and raised the tempo even more. The audience all seemed to recoil at the sheer technicality of it, myself included. I couldn’t sing that fast even if I tried!
​
‘Nel…just how long have you been practicing to be able to do this?
​
She let out one more high note, holding it for a while before slurring it back down. With one more whistle, the instruments came back with bumping two-note blasts to bring the whole song home. And ‘Nel was right in the middle of all of it. She pushed, giving the last two notes everything she had, filling it with as much volume as she could muster until she was finally able to let it off with the rest of the ensemble. She ended the song looking almost completely out of breath.
​
There was a moment of stunned silence over the whole crowd as the song ended.
​
Soon enough though, the plaza came alive with clapping and the thumping of tails against the ground. Applause. ‘Nel blushed a bright purple and answered with a bow.
​
Finally, I snapped out of my daze.
​
Holy.
​
Shit.
​
I couldn’t help but join in the applause. What else could I do? She was AMAZING out there! The song, her voice, that damn feather dye around her eyes! It was amazing! SHE was amazing!
​
With the brightest expression I’d ever seen on her, she came back through the curtain and looked down at us…at me. After wiping away a tear and coming down to the rest of us, she seemed to hesitate for a minute before speaking.
​
“So…h-how was it?”
​
How was it?! What kind of question is that?!
​
“‘Nel, that was… I don’t even know how to describe it. You were fantastic out there!”
​
It was impossible to hide how much she was blushing. I meant it. That was probably some of the best whistling I’ve ever heard. No, not probably, DEFINITELY. The thing that was REALLY getting me right now though, was her eyes.
​
I knew that I’d joked about her looking like a secretary bird, but now she seemed to actually be bringing the rest of the look home. That bright orange dye around her eyes served as a hell of a focal point. I just…couldn’t take my eyes off of her. It definitely brought new meaning to the phrase, “Hey, my eyes are up here.”
​
Not that I’d be staring anywhere else or anything!
​
Uh huh.
​
“I’m…glad you liked it.”
​
“Liked it” was an understatement if I’d ever heard one.
​
“‘Nel, when did you even plan this? I would’ve LOVED to have been up there playing with you.”
​
“Well…I wanted it to be a surprise… I figured…it would be ONE way to get your attention…”
​
My brow furrowed. That…threw me for a loop.
​
Get my attention? Why would she want my- oh. OOOOOooohhh. Oh…
​
Come on. You can’t tell me you didn't see this coming. EVERYONE saw this coming.
​
I DID. I just…was hoping to dodge it for as long as possible…
​
I closed my eyes and took a breath. I had a feeling that I might have to have this conversation at one point. In fact, I’d been dreading it.
​
Tey smirked from behind Khornel and walked off, probably wanting to give us “some privacy.” I could only give a tired sigh. I was never going to hear the end of this.
​
“‘Nel… Is there something you want to tell me?”
​
Her face blushed again, adding another splash of purple to the blue and orange of her feathers. She scratched at the back of her head, giving a clear, “You got me” expression.
​
“Weeeeell…”
​
Oh boy. Here we go.
​
“‘Nel…”
​
“I know! I know!”
​
She threw her taloned hands down and began pacing, getting more and more flustered with every word. I knew the signs. She was gonna start spiraling again.
​
“It’s stupid and weird and-! The thing is, I don’t even know if that’s REALLY how I feel because I’ve never…FELT this way about someone before! And-“
​
“‘Nel…”
​
“And it might just be my stupid Federation brain again. You know, herd mentality, you hear the same thing enough times from enough people and maybe YOU start to believe it too, or I don’t know.”
​
I rubbed at my forehead. She was still going.
​
“‘Nel?”
​
“And the worst part is that I love what we have NOW! You’re the greatest friend I’ve ever had and I don’t want to ruin that by making things awkward or making you mad or…making you hate me and- Protector, I don’t want you to hate me-“
​
“‘NEL!”
​
She finally snapped out of it. She was still incredibly flustered, but for now at least, she at least seemed coherent.
​
“I’m not mad!”
​
“You’re…not?”
​
“No! Why would I be mad about this?”
​
She seemed to think for a moment, before lowering your head in defeat.
​
“I don’t know…”
​
I let out a tired sigh.
​
What am I going to do with you, Bird Brain?
​
It’s not like I could blame her. If she was telling the truth, this was her first real crush. And depending on what I said, her first relationship as well. It’s only natural that she wouldn’t really be sure what to say or even think.
​
To be honest, I wasn’t sure how I felt either. I’ve been in a few relationships back on Earth, but none of them ever worked out. I was always…too clingy, too emotional, too desperate, too much…always too much.
​
I DO like ‘Nel. I love the hell out of her, and I care about her a lot, but… I just don’t know.
​
Be honest. She deserves that much.
​
“‘Nel…”
​
I took her hands in mine, looking her straight in those fiery eyes. It felt…nice…being hand in hand with her like this.
​
“You…are one of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. I mean that. And…I’d be lying if I said that there wasn’t a part of me that genuinely wanted to give this a try, to give US a try…”
​
Every one of her feathers ruffled in a wave as she lit up. I had to admit, looking at her now, now that I was being honest with her and myself, she looked good, really good.
​
Her entire look was full of contrasts, from the roughness of her feet and hands, to the softness of her feathers, to the sharpness of her talons, to warmth of the smile her beak seemed to make at just the right angle. She was beautiful…truly beautiful. Just another reason why this sucks so much… Worthless.
​
“But…”
​
Her head crest fell as she seemed to deflate entirely with that one word.
​
Dammit. Why do I always have to ruin everything? Burden.
​
She was never the problem, it was always me…
​
“I’ve tried…making relationships work before…but no matter how hard I try, I just…can’t get it right. I’m not right…in the head, ‘Nel. I’m…not sure I’ve ever been. And you deserve a guy who at least has his head on straight, and right now at least, that just isn’t me. You deserve better. I’m no good for you. I’m…no good for anyone…”
​
She gave me a mournful look. Was she really still worrying about me? Now of all times while I’m in the middle of breaking her heart?
​
“Is that…why you didn’t want to fight the petition?”
​
I looked away. She was only half right. I knew I’d have to leave eventually. The petition just forced my hand. In truth, I didn’t even want to be here right now. This was always going to happen, but now I was just dragging all the people I cared about down with me. And that hurt more than just saying goodbye ever could.
​
“It’s…one of the reasons, yeah.”
​
I did my best to look back at her. My worst fear from this was playing out in front of me. Those fiery, orange-dyed eyes that seemed to bring so much new life out of her began to water. I hurt her…just like I hurt everyone I care about… Burden.
​
“I…s-suppose I was hoping for a bit too much, wasn’t I?”
​
Dammit no!
​
I unwittingly took another step forward, brining me even closer to her.
​
“Ugh. No! ‘Nel, listen. You aren’t the problem and you never were! And you sure as hell don’t need anything special to get my attention!”
​
Her eyes darted back to me, putting all her focus back on me.
​
“From the very first day we met, you’ve ALWAYS been able to draw my eye. I mean…you were drawing my IRE that time, but you get the point.”
​
She gave a nervous giggle at my bad joke. It was a shitty defense mechanism, using humor like this, but at least it seemed to work.
​
“You’ve never been the problem, ‘Nel. You're an absolute catch! You’re kind. You’re HILARIOUS! You’re absolutely beautiful! You have the voice of an angel. And, when you want to be, you’re also wicked smart, smart enough to come up with all this anyways.”
​
Her blush came back and grew the more I spoke. I meant every word of it.
​
“Any guy out there would be lucky to have you. Hell…I’D be lucky to have you…but I can’t. Not yet anyways. There’s still just…too much wrong with me, too much that’s broken…”
​
I had to tell her the truth. The reason I couldn’t be with her. Worthless. The same reason I couldn’t bear to be anything more than a houseguest. Useless. I’m just…too broken… Burden.
​
“I can’t be…the person you [all] need me to be…”
​
My thumbs stroked her hands , seemingly all on their own.
​
“…no matter how much I might want to be… I can’t. Not yet. Not with so much going on, and even then…”
​
It was my turn to lower my head, this time out of complete and utter shame. I wouldn’t blame her if she never wanted to see me again after this.
​
“I…suppose I SHOULD branch out a bit more before falling for literally the first guy I meet, huh?”
​
There was a light, joking, tone to her voice. I did my best to smile and respond.
​
“Y-Yeah, DEFINITELY.”
​
“Speak from experience?”
​
“Oh-HOH yeah. Trust me. It does NOT work.”
​
We broke out into an awkward giggle fit at that.
​
I guess…she doesn’t hate me after all?
​
Once we’d quieted back down. I did my best to meet her gaze. She was wiping tears from her eyes. Whether they were from the laughing or the heartbreak, I wasn’t sure.
​
“Are you…okay?”
​
“I’m…disappointed to be sure, but…I’m glad you were honest. And Michael?”
​
She grabbed my hands this time. The tables had turned, and it was her turn to speak her mind.
​
“I know I’ve said this before, but I don’t think you give yourself NEARLY enough credit. From the moment I met you, my life has never been the same. If it weren’t for you, I’d have probably never gotten the help I needed. I’d have probably gone back home that claw and got caught by The Guild. I’d never have met Ms. Teylim and Tohba. And I sure as hell wouldn’t have had the confidence to try any of this!”
​
Her beak gestured around us.
​
“The fact is, whether it’s as my best friend or my boyfriend, I can’t imagine my life without you in it. NONE OF US CAN! That’s WHY we’re doing this. Every life you’ve touched here, has never been the same, and we don’t want things to go back to the way they were. We love you, you stupid primate!”
​
Again, I couldn’t meet her gaze.
​
I love you guys, too. I love YOU, too. That’s the problem…
​
“And…I know I’m new to this whole ‘mental health’ thing, but if you truly think that something is wrong, that there really is something broken inside that skull of yours, then that’s all the more reason for us all to stick together! So we can help you! You said it yourself, when we were trapped in Twilight Valley.”
​
I did?
​
“‘When one of us stumbles, the other will be there to help pick them up. That’s what friends do, what REAL family does.’ So let us help.”
​
I didn’t want to admit it, but as cheesy as my own words sounded when literally parroted back to me, she made a decent point.
​
Stupid bird, using my own stupid words against stupid me.
​
I wanted to. I REALLY wanted to. More than anything I wanted to let these people that I’ve come to love and cherish in. I’d already been more vulnerable around all of them than I’d been with ANYONE since…
​
Dad…
​
And that’s why I hesitated. Truth is…I’m scared. I’m fucking terrified…because what if I DO let them in? I COULD let myself truly become a part of Tey’s family: Let her treat me like her kid, help raise Tohba, and live the rest of my life with the beautiful woman in front of me, but…what if it all happens again? What if I lose them, just like I did Dad? I…I just don’t know if I’d be able to handle that.
​
Better to lose a bunch of strangers than a second family…
​
My eyes closed and my mind filled with conflicting thoughts. My hope and my fears battling over whether or not I should actually give this a try. ‘Nel clearly noticed my indecision.
​
“Tell you what…”
​
I forced myself to look back up at her. Her face was blooming again, this time more out of actual embarrassment than actually being flustered. I hadn’t noticed it before, but the way the purple of her blush mixed with the blue and orange of her face…it kind of reminded me of a…
​
Sunset… Huh. It’s kinda funny, but after all this time under constant daylight… I missed sunsets…
​
“At the risk of sounding desperate here…how about we meet in the middle?”
​
Meet in the middle?
​
“We put a pin in it…for now. We wait until after all this craziness is over. The concert, The Guild, all of it, and…after we’ve freed my grandfather, and everything returns to somewhat normal, then…we pick this conversation back up where we left it. Because…while I agree that we BOTH have some growing and healing yet to do…I’m not ready to give up on this, on US, and…I don’t think you are either…are you? Or am I just being a Bird Brain?”
​
I gave a half-hearted chuckle.
​
“You’re definitely a Bird Brain, Khornel…but…you’re also not wrong.”
​
She really wasn’t, and now that everything was out in the open like this…I don’t think I’m willing to leave things as is, either.
​
She lit up again, hope brimming in her eyes, emphasized by the fiery orange of her markings.
​
“Put a pin in it?”
​
“Put a pin in it.”
​
I just stood there for a moment, staring into the eyes of my best friend. We said nothing, just waiting until one of us broke the moment. She cracked first.
​
“Come here.”
​
I’m not sure why, but this hug…felt slightly warmer than any of the others we’d shared. I had one theory, though. For once, there was no misunderstanding between us. No culture shock or misread signs, not even a translation error. For the first time, we truly understood each other, and it felt…nice.
​
We broke the hug. Our awkward blushes and dumb smiles were gone, leaving just raw determination.
​
“So then, ready to ruffle some feathers out there, ‘Nel?”
​
“Well, truth be told, I was hoping my OWN feathers would be getting ruffled later, but I suppose this will do.”
​
“PFFFFFFFFFF…”
​
Yep. Okay. That one got me. I’m not sure if it was the timing or just because it was someone other then Tey or Dohk this time, but what the hell? I DID find the joke funny this time.
​
“You have been spending WAY too much time with Tey!”
​
“Just a little. Come on! It’s showtime! I’ve already gotten them warmed up!”
​
She stepped back up onto the stage and offered me a hand. It was then that I’d finally realized something.
​
These people: Tey, Tohba, ‘Nel, Dohk, even Trivah and Scullen had spent these past weeks working so hard just to make sure I could stay here, but…my heart just wasn’t in it. I’ve been so focused on preparing for when I got kicked out, that I’d taken all their hard work for granted.
​
I could’ve worked harder. I could’ve rehearsed more. I could’ve put in more effort, but I hadn’t.
​
That ends now.
​
I WANT to stay in Five Meadows! I WANT to stay here with them! They’re all I’ve got! And I OWE it to them to give this my all.
​
Maybe I CAN’T change these people’s minds, but I’ll never know if I don’t try.
​
Because I OWE it to all these people that have worked so hard to keep me here, to at least try.
​
Where has “trying” gotten us so far?
​
IT’S GOTTEN US HERE! AND IF THEY WANT TO KICK ME OUT, THEY’LL HAVE TO DRAG ME OUT IN A DAMN COFFIN!!!!
​
Be careful what you wish for…
​
I grabbed ‘Nel’s hand and got on stage. Tey was already up there waiting for us. It was time for the opener.
​
Dohk gave us the go ahead, I grabbed my helmet, the curtain opened, and I closed my eyes…
​
Breath…focus…showtime!

​
Well if THAT wasn’t a way to start things off, I’m not sure what is!
​
I looked around to the rest of the crowd. Many here seemed to be Michael’s usual listeners, but there were plenty here that were new, most of them…detractors… But Khornel‘s opening tune, it seemed to shut the whole damn plaza up. Looking to my family, I almost feared Scullen had fallen in love a third time, until he snapped putt of his daze.
​
With a little help from a paw to the back of his head.
​
Trilly and Dailo seemed particularly transfixed. Say what you will, but this show had everyone’s full attention now.
​
Finally, it was time for the real show to begin. The curtain opened and Michael, Khornel, and Teylim all came out and sat on the bench on stage. Tohba excitedly bounced on my lap as he saw his family up on stage. He’d be up there himself soon enough.
​
“MAMA! MIKEY! NEWWY!”
​
All three looked in our direction and gave a small wave before returning to attention. They simply sat there, letting the natural sounds of Five Meadows fill the air.
​
The swishing of leaves and tree branches in the wind, the small chitters of laysi and other small creatures, the slight howl of a breeze flowing by. Finally, without warning, they began in unison.
​
I’d like to say “Hello” and welcome you! Good day! That is my name!
​
A light, bouncing melody from a “piano” I believe began playing.
​
Come here and sit down! I’m so glad you even really truly came!
​
The piano continued as my friends quite literally introduced the show.
​
We can even go and take a walk or something like that.
(We can even go and take a walk or something like that.)
(We can take a walk.)
​
For a moment, I was confused. Did they miss timing?
​
But first, I need to introduce my what and introduce my when!
​
Apparently not.
​
Again without warning, Michael got up from the bench and harshly ripped at his guitar. The drastic changes in the instruments and tone were hard to follow.
​
LET US SING!
​
Aaaaaaaaaahhhh.
​
Michael was pulled back down and almost forced back into the bench as Teylim cut in.
​
It’s name, I like to call! It likes to say, It’s nothing!
(It’s nothing! It’s nothing.)
​
Michael tried to speak up again, but was interrupted by Khornel.
​
It lives and breathes and it insists that it insists that it is something!
(It’s something!)
​
Again and again, Michael tried speaking up but was talked over. They quite literally WEREN’T letting him sing.
​
Okay. That’s a fun bit.
​
It never liked to speak or run or walk or sleep or eat!
(Woahoawoahoawoahoa!)
​
It even thought that everybody tried to thought to take its seat!
​
Again, Michael tore at his guitar, silencing them both. It was his turn to speak.
​
Lookin’ through glass eyes.
​
Give it a few tries.
​
Nothin’ goes right in its time.
​
Seemingly content, the three finally joined together in actual harmony again.
​
Kill all its bad dreams.
​
Wonder about no things.
​
Circles and spirals in mind.
​
Michael let out another chord reintroducing the beginning melody. The beat returned as the three began rotating out once more.
​
But we know that this song is not about a “no” or “yes” or “why!”
​
What’s really truly what I say is that about a little sigh!
(Aaaaaaahhh!)
​
Michael got up again, playing defiantly for all to hear.
​
So come along! I think I’m done! I think we’re done! Yes, this is done!
​
What’s truly that I think about it and it thinks about a ton!
​
Teylim and Khornel got up with him, joining in his defiance.
​
NAA! NAA! NANANANA!
​
Another moment of calm, before another defiant blast!
​
LET US SING!
​
Aaaaaaaaahhhh!
​
Lookin’ through glass eyes.
​
Give it a few tries.
​
Nothin’ goes right in its time.
​
My head was spinning. This song just kept switching from loud and intense to soft and calming.
​
Kill all its bad dreams.
​
Wonder about no things.
​
Circles and spirals in mind.
​
Michael’s mood seemed to drop as he approached closer to the center mic, speaking directly to the audience.
​
I! Thought! You! Knew! I! Knew! But! Why and by and why and by and why!
​
Teylim and Khornel approached as well, arms and well, WINGS spread wide.
​
I! Wanted! You! To! Know! I! Thought you knew but why and by and why…
​
The three seemed to shut down as multiple strange sound effects began playing over the speakers along with several, barely intelligible human voices said something along the lines of-
​
Everyone loves a potato monkey!
​
I stepped on gum! Oh-hoh hoh!
​
I am so lost…
​
A flourish from the piano instantly brought the three performers back to life, letting out a singular chant.
​
LET US SING! LET US SING!
​
LET US SING! LET US SING!
​
LET US SING! LET US SING!
​
LET US SING! LET US SING!
​
Michael approached the mic again, shouting into it with passion.
​
BIRDS AND BEES AND TELEVISION!
(LET US SING! LET US SING!)
​
CARDBOARD HOUSES! X-RAY VISION!
(LET US SING! LET US SING!)
​
MANY LITTLE SILLY RHYMES!
(LET US SING! LET US SING!)
​
THINGS FORGOTTEN, LOST THEIR TIMES!
(LET US SING! LET US SING!)
​
Telephones and silly games!
(Let us sing! Let us sing!)
​
Periods and lots of question marks…
(Let us sing. Let. Us. Sing…)
​
The last notes of the song rang out, leaving us with the sound of singing birds.
​
Question marks, indeed.
​
Honestly, it’s not the worst song they could have chosen. The UN’s solution to the conflict between our peoples was to censor themselves as much as possible. The problem is that regardless of what you think about humans, whether you’re scared of them or not, there’s one fact about them that will always remain true.
​
Humans are weird and make no sense. I even asked Michael himself before the show, and even he agreed! Humans are strange creatures and not everything they do will make sense. And that was something this town would have to learn.
​
And hopefully, something it could learn to accept.
​
No going back now. The show has officially begun…
​

Hi! As a guitar player and longtime Sabbath fan, I wanted to assemble a list of guitar tunings for each album. Since this is mostly just from my own research and general knowledge, I'm open to suggestions/corrections. I am definitely not an authority! Without further ado...
Black Sabbath (S/T): E Standard Tuning

• Pitch is slightly flat, meaning you can't play along in 440 standard

Paranoid: E Standard Tuning

• Tuned to 440hz or slightly off
• During the tour for this album, the band gradually down tunes, first to half-step down, and then starting in 1971, 1.5 steps down. From this point until further noted, the live tuning is C# Standard. Which leads to...

Master of Reality: C# Standard Tuning (1.5 steps down)

• EXCEPT: After Forever and Solitude, which are D Standard (1 step down)

Vol 4: C# Standard Tuning

• EXCEPT: Laguna Sunrise (E Standard), St Vitus Dance (D Standard-ish... it's sort of in between tunings), Changes (???)

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath: C# Standard Tuning

• EXCEPT: Fluff (sounds like E Standard to me)

Sabotage: C# Standard

• EXCEPT: Don't Start (Too Late) (E Standard, slightly flat (???), Supertzar (E Standard, based on the key of the song and all the chugging on low E. Could be wrong here)

Technical Ecstacy: E Standard Tuning

• No alternative tunings on this album I'm aware of. Live, the band is back to E Standard, including tunes from the past few down tuned albums. There are some interesting recordings of lesser known songs such as Megalomania in E Standard tuning on this tour.

Never Say Die: E Standard Tuning

• EXCEPT: Over to You, Hard Road (C# Standard Tuning). This isn't proven, but both songs (especially Over to You) pedal on a B note a lot, which is the 3rd string in C# tuning. Neither was played live, so it's impossible to know for sure, but the songs make way more sense to play in C#.
• Live, the band is still in E Standard, much to the chagrin of Ozzy's vocal chords.

Heaven and Hell: D#/Eb Standard Tuning (Half step down)

• No exceptions I am aware of. D# also becomes the go-to studio and live tuning from this point on, other than the Born Again tour.

Mob Rules: D# Standard Tuning

• For once, I don't have any additional notes!

Born Again: D Standard Tuning (1 step down)

• Although select songs have been in this tuning, this is the first time an entire album was done in this tuning.
• Live, the band plays 1 step down. This is a really cool tuning I wish the band used more frequently. Alas...

Live Aid Reunion w/Ozzy (D# Standard)

• I mean they only played like 3 songs here, but they are in D# Standard.

Seventh Star: D# Standard Tuning

• Back to half step down for recording and studio. The recording is pitched down around a quarter step, give or take, making the final recording sound almost a step down. No clue why.
• Live, 1/2 step down from here on out.

Eternal Idol: D# Standard Tuning
Headless Cross: D# Standard Tuning
Tyr: D# Standard Tuning
Dehumanizer: D# Standard Tuning
Cross Purposes: D# Standard Tuning

• No exceptions once again, but I also haven't listened super closely.

Forbidden: D# Standard

• EXCEPT: Forbidden (C Standard, 2 steps down), Can't Get Close Enough (Drop A# -- half step down, but lower the bottom string all the way down to A#)

Reunion Era (1997-2005):

• Mostly C# Standard, but with some D# on select songs.

Heaven and Hell/Dio Reunion (2006-2010):

• 1 step down live, half step in the studio. The Devil Cried may be in C# Standard (?)

The Devil You Know: D# Standard Tuning

• EXCEPT: Rock and Roll Angel, Follow the Tears (C# Standard)

13: D# Standard Tuning

• No exceptions that I am aware of, but I also haven't listened to this one much.
• Live, the tunings are all over the place for the final tours. I believe they are mostly a combination of D Standard and C Standard depending on Ozzy's voice.

-----
Hopefully that helps or you enjoyed all of the minutiae presented! If I missed anything, let me know. Thanks and praise Iommi.

I stayed up until midnight so I could listen to PRV2 as soon as it dropped, and I decided in advance that I was gonna take some notes on all the (new) tracks as I was listening to them for the first time -- both to help digest the music, and to be able to compare them with my thoughts on the album a few months from now. Figured I'd share all of them here! (Warning: very long post incoming lol)
Jic Boi

• Liking the opening synth line — really urgent, and it’s kinda neat that it doesn’t follow the same progression as Just in Case
• That intro riff is nuts
• Really neat how they spliced Wayne’s and Edsel’s vocals together
• The chorus is a lot catchier than the teaser made it out to be; I was nodding along the whole time and singing along by the end
• The synth line from Cold was a neat little callback
• Love the change of pace in the final chorus
• I swear they’ve used this same chord progression before — maybe not in the same key? [Edit: I figured it out -- it's H-K by Fear Factory, just down a few notes. I don’t really think it’s “stolen” or anything; 0-7-5-3 / 0-6-5-3 is a really common progression]

​
Black Star

• That intro riff sounds like the kind of thing you’d listen to while working on a muscle car
• Is that the Just in Case riff I hear in the background?
• Interesting to hear the synths from Terminal again
• Hmmmmmmmmm… I can’t help but wonder if Wayne might’ve written this song about Tera — but where could I possibly be getting such an idea?
• “And are you taking my time as I do it, do it, do it?” - Well… that line certainly hits different these days (the whole song hits different now, honestly — there’re a few of these leftover vocals that make me wonder if Wayne knew he wasn’t on the best path there at the end)

​
Kamikaze

• Weird how they seem to be using a different amp setup on the intro — kinda threw me off, even if it was just a case of them turning the gain down for a sec
• NO SUBMISSION!
• The main riff really echoes Bring You Down

​
No Hope

• The intro sounds like the music from suicidemouse.avi… can’t say I expected to make that kind of comparison today
• Are those the same vocal samples from the chorus of Hollow? Also, interesting that they seem to have unused lyrics from what would’ve been Wayne’s “Worth Dyin’ For” tapes
• The structure feels a little weird on this one — the verses and choruses kinda feel like they’re “competing” for which one gets to be the chorus
• I can’t help but wonder if this is the “leftover riff mashup” song that most albums have
• That ending sure was abrupt

​
Take Control

• The drums in the intro feel a lot like the intro to Goat
• Man, that verse comes out and punches you straight in the face — I like it!
• Tony’s line before the chorus is taken straight from Terminator Oscillator — feels more like an “easter egg” than them accidentally using the same vocals again, though?
• I feel like this is gonna end up being someone’s go-to lifting song lol

​
Tone

• LOVE the 90s techno vibes in the intro!
• Can’t place where the synth line is from, but it seems familiar — almost like a “reorganization” of the synths from Trance is the Motion?
• Is it just me, or does the chorus not have a lot of bass?
• A return of the synth intro from Cuts You Up? Didn’t see that one coming
• The verses seem really similar to Something of My Own. I wonder if the lyrics here and on that song were (at least when Wayne recorded them) set to be part of the same song.

​
Run for Your Life

• This feels like Terminator Oscillator 2, I’m hyped!
• That main riff does not disappoint
• Hm, very interesting bridge — it feels like a different song altogether, but not in a completely bad way?
• That said, some of the riffs and segments do feel a bit disconnected

​
Dark Place

• Gosh, they’re really getting their mileage out of that “Let’s go” sample!
• This one feels like something off of Shadow Zone — it’s a neat change of pace
• Not a ton to say about this one, really. It’s not bad by any means; just couldn’t come up with any notes

​
Disco Otsego

• Alright, this is it — I’ve been waiting for this one since the very first PR teaser!
• That’s the synth line from Otsedo Undead!
• And I hear Love Dump too!
• This is gonna be a permanent addition to their concerts if they ever add it to the setlist; that chorus could make crowds go nuts
• Good to hear the Mario samples from WDT are still sticking around after all this time!
• Hm, that bridge is different; really interesting — can we call that a Koichi guitar solo?
• Yeah, what? Very stupid!

​
From Heaven

• Kinda getting some A Dios Alma Perdida vibes from the screams during the verses
• The chorus kinda comes out of nowhere, but since this is technically a cover, I suppose we can blame the original artist lol
• …that’s not the end of the song, right? They’re gonna come back with a big finish… right?
• …nope. What a weird way to end the album — though I guess it transitions well enough into Terrible Lie, if you wanna consider that and GYD14 the “real” ending

​
Grover Yoda Data 14

• “Abusing, accusing, confusing, the slow / Abusing the losing, abusing the low” — Tripp will never recover lmao
• Man, that chorus riff goes so friggin hard
• Not the biggest fan of the verse lyrics, though they can get a pass since they’re Wayne’s — though I can’t help but wonder what kinda of song he might’ve been planning to use them for?
• [I told myself that I’d only make notes from my first listen for each song, but on my second listen, I’ve gotta say that the sense of rhythm and urgency GYD14 carries throughout its runtime is second to none — it gets you hyped up and then never has a slow moment afterward]

[Very Early] Song Rankings:

• Jic Boi
• Disco Otsego
• Grover Yoda Data 14
• Black Star
• Kamikaze
• Run for Your Life
• Z0mbie
• Stay Alive
• Take Control
• Dark Place
• Terrible Lie
• No Hope
• From Heaven
• Tone

Note: Stay Alive, Z0mbie, and Terrible Lie are super hard to rank with the rest of these just because we’ve had them for so much longer; it’ll be easier to judge where they fit in after I’ve had time to really digest all the new stuff
Also, although Take Control and Terrible Lie look like they’re super low, the majority of the songs are all really close together and tough to rank — I’d consider all of them except From Heaven and Tone to be at least upper-B Tier, and even those bottom two are pretty good

Silencio en la Penumbra
Las amonestaciones de mi padre nunca fueron precisas, imposible fue advertirme de aquello que en estas tierras se esconde. Al describir mis sueños él contestaría con pesadillas. Al hablar sobre los ángeles que en estos me hacían compañía, el me diría que de los demonios me alejara. Y así cada noche las pinturas se distorsionaron, de sus rojos labios surgieron colmillos, de sus alas las plumas cayeron, pronto tras el velo las llamas nacieron, transmutando hermosos seres en las brujas a las que aprendí a temer.
Sin mírame me consolaba, al abrazarme me dio la bienvenida a la realidad, antes de alejarme tuve que prometer que no volvería a soñar. Sin embargo; fue él quien me obligó a cruzar el umbral una vez más. Me adentré pensando que nadie me seguiría, pero incluso la soledad tiene compañía.
Bermellón es su capa arrastrándose por la habitación, dorada la armadura que bajo la luz del candelabro resplandece, confusas las palabras que de él emanan. Prominentes plumas adornan su yelmo, porta ostentosas hombreras que acuñan la forma del ponderoso cóndor con sus alas extendidas a sus espaldas, denotando el bronce en sus garras y cresta mientras se aleja.
Soledad en la punta de la torre, angustia en el interior de las vasijas que aglomeras esperan el retorno. Una vez cerrada la puerta sé que se ha ido, desconozco las noches que he esperado su regreso pues apenas me dispongo a descansar alguien más irrumpe. Pronto con una carta y una insignia a mí se acerca, posa en mis manos la ensangrentada medalla, en mi palma yace el símbolo y por mi hombro vagan sus descarnados dedos. Le ignoro acariciando el irregular relieve manchando con su roja tinta mis manos, reprimiendo con sus recuerdos mi anhelo. No presto atención a su presencia hasta que percibo su toque en mi cuello, el sueño concibo cuando él mis ojos cierra.
Aún recuerdo su voz, pero no un adiós. Todavía extraño su risa, aunque mi mente solo vague en los lamentos. Abrumado por sus memorias desisto de la despedida, aunque sé que una vez llegue la noche su cara habrá desaparecido, en mis sueños a ciegas le seguiré.
—Es momento de partir—desconozco el tiempo que ha pasado, no discierno el día de la noche, solo miro mis temblorosas manos mientras escucho sus plegarias.
Frente a mí se pasea la sombra de un desconocido, quien desea brindar lastima a un corazón incapaz de conmoverse. Finge humanidad y tras su coraza no hay más que penumbra, pretende comprensión y en sus ojos solo encuentro miseria.
—¿Me llevarás a casa? —su mirada se pierde entre la oscuridad, la ornamentaría que viste es de plata, recubierta de finas esquirlas, pero al igual que el humo su figura se vierte a través de las hendiduras del metal, siendo esa coraza lo único que lo mantiene unido.
—Estas en casa— Observo los muros, con mis pies hago crujir la madera, mi palma se desliza por las sábanas. Ajeno a la realidad siento las punzadas, entonces aquel ente se cierne e intenta levantarme. Este no es mi hogar, las pinturas en las paredes no son las mismas, la ventana solo me muestra oscuridad, rezo por el alba, Incluso el reflejo en el espejo se ha distorsionado.
—Entonces dime guardián de ánimas ¿Por qué no se siente más así? —no responde y no necesito que lo haga.
Tomo la mano de un extraño, quien ofreciéndome su frio toque me arrastra por las escaleras. Torcidos son los peldaños en los que mis pies tropiezan, endeble el fuego de las velas que a nuestro paso se apagan, lívida mi mente que no deja de girar mientras a las afueras su soneto resuena. Traen violines y guitarras, arpas, cítolas; ya escucho su fúnebre sinfonía.
Austeros acordes acompañan mi demencia, cada nota es un escalón, cada cuerda una voz. Ante mi aparecen cien sombras y cien inquietudes, con pálidas máscaras y finos guantes despojan a los muros de su rostro, retiran las pinturas y los retratos, ocultan los murales. Vacías yacen las paredes y atestadas mis memorias.
Al descender por la retorcida escalinata los veo husmear, sin culpa vierten la tinta sobre el delicado papiro, hurgan en los cofres, destrozan su habitación, ardiendo se halla la seda de las cortinas. Suplico mientras los lirios son consumidos por las llamas hasta que solo quedan cenizas cayendo cual lluvia.
Cuento siete escalones, de mi arrebatan los libros mancillando con su puño su letra. Cuento once más, los escucho murmurar arrancando las páginas sin remordimiento, relatan falacias en mi mente. Veintisiete escalones, de un lado a otro su esencia de mí alejan, de un modo u otro se va. A mi izquierda afilan sus espadas, infame la manera en la que sonríen cuando por mi lado caminan. Descarados empuñan las dagas, a mi diestra falsos cuadros colocan, al frente distorsionados rostros trazan.
Aquella canción no ha terminado, su tono se alza y las escaleras siguen girando ¿O es acaso mi atrofiada vista la que me engaña? En el centro de todo un oscuro pozo ha surgido, emanando de este incesantes gritos usurpando su coro. Hábiles los dedos que palpan las cuerdas del arpa, aunque su agudeza enloquece a mi corazón, continúo descendiendo por la escalera con este mi flagelo.
No sé si esta letanía proviene de las pinturas en los muros, sus labios parecen moverse mas engañarme quieren, ese hombre que han plasmado en los lienzos es un completo extraño sobre su cuerpo. Su semblante ha cambiado, sus ojos no son los mismos, en los retratos no hay rastro de sangre, han confundido los cuadros con espejos. He divisado a un desconocido e incauto su mano tomo, al cruzar las puertas un equívoco acorde final nos recibe. Y con el viento soplando y la tormenta asechando a su marcha he de unirme, recibiendo lastima de maltrechos rostros, aprensivo escapa el consuelo de temblorosos labios.
Al frente mi padre nos guía a la decadencia, su corcel es de cobre y acero, nacido del mismo fuego de su forja, el escudo que este día porta es de lirios y rosas, su arma es la senda por la que aquel incorpóreo ente nos lidera, su discurso se convierte en el silencio, su bravía en mis sollozos. Su féretro sigo esperando alcanzarle, trato de retenerlo, pero con cada paso que doy se aleja más.
Al adentrarme en el cementerio, recibo sus condolecías, pero nada cambia. Recibo su lastima, pero el dolor no desiste, imploro misericordia no obstante sus pensamientos no abandonan mi mente, las evocaciones aún están allí ¿Por qué no pueden irse como él ha hecho?
Su sangre ha pintado los cielos, acompaña la ira a la brisa, su eco resuena mientras los vientos mecen la hierba. De las escarlatas copas caen las hojas que sobre las tumbas reposan, de pálidos tallos se desprenden los pétalos que sus nombres ocultan, marchitan ante la frialdad de la piedra, desisten al presenciar la muerte. El cantico de los mártires es insufrible, vierten en mi llanto sus falacias, auguran compasión en su miseria, relatan sus voces mi demencia concibiendo su cordura como mi verdad.
Cabalga mi padre sobre tumbas y destrozados ramos, dejando su huella en la humedecida tierra y su trotar el cielo se oscurece. Tras rezar y llorar aun me niego, no volveré a ver su rostro, y no anhelo verle en mis sueños. No deseo despertar sintiendo la soledad, pues condenado estoy a afrontar la realidad.
Sobre la marchita hierba caminamos, no sabemos a dónde nos dirigimos, pero es el único camino así que no podemos perdernos. Al frente el ánima, detrás el rastro de incienso, al fin han callado sus canticos pues el sendero es largo y no me place seguir escuchándolos. Avanzamos más lento al encontrarnos con majestuosas columnas y sombríos mausoleos, hermosas criaturas esculpidas en lo alto, afligidos seños tallados, acomplejados semblantes observándonos cabizbajos. Tratan de representar la vida sobre los restos, la opulencia que emana de las ruinas es innegable al igual que el final que a sus pies yace, junto a los disgustados carroñeros que husmean entre las tumbas.
Cubren la piedra negras mariposas creando en nuestras mentes la ilusión de que los pilares están formados de infernal ónice. Nos detenemos al divisar su figura a lo lejos reposando en la punta de un mausoleo como la enrome silueta de un ave retorciéndose. La vista no aparto, pero a la distancia esa sombra también me vigila descarada. Sin embargo; las indefensas criaturas que se apegan a las columnas se marchan apenas llegamos, se alzan en el cielo, su aleteo provoca la brisa revelando los grabados en la piedra, y como si la última luz del día las estuviera consumiendo se pierden en el tenue firmamento. Oscureciendo por un momento la tierra y sacudiendo nuestras ropas el viento de sus alas, se alejan las carroñeros al igual que las mariposas.
Nos rodean las columnas, al centro se halla un pedestal que en absoluto es funcional, no hay palabras o consuelo suficiente, no existe un discurso al cual atender mientras él cruza aquel arco ingresando al santuario y cerrando las puertas tras su llegada. Parece derrumbarse a causa del estruendo, pero perdura su esencia bajo destrozados ventanales y rosas marchitas.
En silencio transcurre el atardecer, silente admiro el sol ocultarse, sentados alrededor del corcel aguardamos el alaba, mas nadie esperaría tanto, uno a uno se marchan sin decir una palabra me abandonan. Nada queda cuando las velas se apagan, nadie excepto la sombra que a la distancia se halla. Sin importar el frio ni la penumbra allí permanezco, no me atrevo a marcharme ¿Cuál sería la diferencia después de todo? La soledad esta aquí y en casa me espera.
El cosquilleo en mi mejilla, una mariposa camina con libertad en mi rostro mientras los pilares se vuelven a cubrir de las hermosas criaturas que en calma desean dormir, todas excepto aquella que en mi mejilla yace, entonces en mi dedo se posa. Puedo asegurar que no la he tocado, juraría que lo hago con cuidado, pero cuando mi corazón comienza a latir con prisa, la criatura se disuelve como ceniza manchando mi mejilla y al tentar las columnas todas las demás en polvo se transformaron cayendo sobre mí una gran nube que me ciega. Ni la luz de la luna atraviesa tal sombra, cubierto por completo y repleto el suelo de su esencia la veo, más allá de la bella silla de cobre, más allá de los lirios allí esa sombra me asecha.
Se alza y observo la forma de sus piernas, sus alas extendiéndose al igual que sus largos brazos. Desde aquí miro sus afiladas uñas, en esta penumbra no logro ver más, pero siento su mirada y a quien más observaría si solo permanezco. Entonces sus garras en su boca se adentran exhalando de entre sus labios un extraño humo que desata tinieblas. Espesa la bruma que envuelve al cementerio, las tumbas se desvanecen a cada respiración, las columnas ya no son visibles, solo su sombra y nada más.
Su mano sigue uniéndose en su boca y sus garras y ásperos dedos siento a través de mi garganta. Levantan mi piel sin dejar lugar a mi respiración, desgarrando mi carne, mi tembloroso cuerpo trata de resistir la sensación, entonces, en mi piel percibo su doloroso toque pasando por mi interior cual cuchillas arrebatándome el aliento. Jadeo mientras corta mi garganta, empujando sus dedos hasta que su rugosa palma toca mi lengua.
El horrible sonido de su mano hiriendo mi interior, la vista de aquel brazo levantando mi piel. Sus asquerosos dedos pruebo cuando toman mis dientes abriendo así mis labios, dejando que su largo brazo se abra paso desde mi garganta hasta el exterior como si de mi último aliento se tratara. Paralizado observo su mano salir de mi boca, su putrefacta piel colgando, su corrompida palma tienta ansiosa mi piel, sus dedos rasgan mi nariz. La agrietada carne de su brazo no parece terminar, cubiertos de hendiduras y profesas cicatrices su sangre en mi interior derrama, escurriendo su sucio elixir en mis venas hasta salir por medio de mis labios.
En mis entrañas resiento las punzadas cuando algo se agita por mi estómago y que más seria si no su ruin sangre irrumpiendo en mi ser. La piel de mi cuello se tensa con cada palpitar hasta que sus largos dedos se arrastran hasta mis parpados y lo último que soy capaz de divisar son sus garras cerrando mis ojos, llenándome de impotencia hasta que la oscuridad me envuelve.
Sueño con el pasado y no deseo escapar, aferrándome a vacíos palacios soy prisionero en falsas evocaciones. Creo percibir el rocío, incluso ver el amanecer, todo es una mentira que me hace feliz. Entonces los muros caen y con fuerza mis ojos cierro. Tratando de sonreír de cualquier manera, pero las dichosas lagrimas se deslizan por mis mejillas, y alguien más las limpia.
Al principio solo escucho el viento, pero este atrae incomprensibles ecos, creo escuchar su voz, pero es su cantico lo que me impide mirar, solo escucho sus pies arrastrándose. Lloro cuando comprendo que no soy capaz de hablar, y un extraño retiene mis lágrimas. Tiemblo debido al temor de su toque, al regreso de su soledad, aterrado ante el retorno de una tristeza que era la mía.
—No puedes dejarme atrás—su áspera voz, su frio toque, no me dejaría engañar, sin importar el afecto en sus palabras soy capaz de recordar el desdeño de sus garras—Añoras una despedida ¿No es así? —pero como podría escapar, a veces creo que es parte de mí, incluso puedo imaginar sus horribles dientes, su falaz y mordaz sonrisa, sé que muerde su jodida lengua al hablar.
—Tal parece que tú no eres buena en ello—hablo por un momento pensando que era la voz en mis pensamientos. Callado oigo el crujir de sus huesos y la saliva siendo vertida de sus labios uniéndose a mis lágrimas.
—Al igual que tus vástagos—mi cabeza palpita, no quiero sentirme de esta manera, pero no desiste, sus murmures no cesan y en mi voz transmutan, su insolencia me agobia, no hay nadie más a quien prestar atención, todos han elegido irse.
—Algún día quiero decirte adiós—mis susurros le alientan, estoy cansado y su corazón late vigoroso estremeciendo el mío.
—Solo el cielo queda, pero inalcanzable es para un alma mortal como la tuya— no es la primera vez que el pensamiento atraviesa mi mente, pero podría ser la última ocasión—Conozco un camino que te guiará hasta allá.
Tentado por sus promesas acepto, seducido por la fragancia cuyo aroma me hace olvidar el dolor avanzo. Nunca descubro quien esta tras esa voz ¿Es acaso mi conciencia o mi inquietud?
Despierto con la sangre derramándose en mis labios, con la marca de sus garras en mi cuello. Sin embargo, su figura y su voz se han ido, dejando en esta tierra su bruma. Pálido mar que todo lo ha consumido se derrama por las columnas, cae de los árboles, siento su frialdad mientras sus aguas corren. Al igual que el océano rugen mientras inmensas olas se alzan arrastrándome impasibles corrientes hasta la ciudad, cubriendo el sendero, crean estas un gran rio de neblina, llevándome lejos de su sombra.
Agresivas corren las pálidas aguas, acarreando los pétalos caídos y hojas secas. No importa si me hundo, nada es visible más allá de la espesura. No trato de nadar en su contra, en cambio, en silencio me dejo llevar. Quizá mis labios la verdad desean desvelar, pero decido callar como lo hice antes y aguardo el eco de ese residente grito en mi interior como siempre lo he hecho.
Envuelto en la bruma viajo hasta un sosegado y helado reino, un lugar donde todos corren con los ojos vendados, siendo este sitio poseedor de un cielo gris y retraídos pobladores. Espesa niebla se derraman por las viejos edificaciones y los retorcidos árboles, el viento brama sin pena, trayendo a mí el dulce olor del pan, cálido humo proveniente de una canasta la cual pertenece a un hombre dándome la espalda.
Las personas caminan limitándose a observar, sin emoción en sus petrificados rostros, pues sobre sus luceros vendas se han colocado. Asegurándome de ser sutil me acerco al panadero e intento hablar con él, mas no se gira, grito y nada cambia, pero una vez su hombro toco la ira surge. Mi respiración viene y se va, el agotamiento es evidente, mas sus gritos aun me persiguen. Corriendo por sucios callejones, una puerta se abre, en medio de la penumbra su chirrido escucho, al ver la fachada de la torre mi hogar rememoro.
Al adentrarme encuentro oscuridad, al tratar de escapar la puerta se desvanece entre las sombras. Viéndome condenado a su reposo por la casona vago, tropezando con un enorme candelabro que yace en medio del salón. Trozos de cristal esparcidos por el suelo, cruje la madera bajo mis pisadas, y frente a mí una vieja y deteriorada chimenea de halla, sin embargo; podridos leños le alimentan. Imposible avivar las brasas cuando el viento se adentra por medio de las grietas de estos corroídos muros.
Todo está cubierto de polvo, incluso aquello que se halla bajo las telas, mugrientos paños protegiendo deteriorados muebles. Sin más dilación me dirijo a la cocina, que intestada de alimañas y de repulsivo hedor me recibe. Se anidan las asquerosas criaturas entre la sucia vajilla, caen a montones de los muros, putrefactos los frutos dentro de las cestas, repletas de eses las aberturas del piso. No avisto a las ratas que chillan imprudentes, pero siento sus patas mientras roen los tablones bajo mi planta.
Camino hacia el comedor, basta con cruzar un arco para ver la sala intestada de telarañas que comienzan a apegarse a mi ropa, las arañas se retuercen por los techos, se adentran en las hendiduras. No pasa mucho hasta sentir a esas alimañas trepando entre mis piernas, recorren mi brazo dejando un frio rastro, se esparce en mis ojos el polvo y esos filamentos que cuelgan por todas partes se adentran hasta mi pupila. De inmediato me alejo regresando a la sala pues más allá solo penumbra diviso, ni la luna o el viento se atreverían a marchar hasta aquellos rincones.
Retrocedo y aun quitándome aquellas infelices arañas me reconforto con un inexistente fuego. Entonces el viento sopla y me hace sentir pavor, como un escalofrío en mi espalda y mientras la luna irrumpe por un instante en la habitación mi aliento me abandona, pues juraría haber visto manos bajo los velos. Apenas trato de razonar el resplandor se abre paso una vez más y conforme la luna se mueve, lo mismo hacen los moradores de este su hogar.
Sus dedos se revelan bajo los paños, y con el rugir de un tifón, las sombras en los muros se elevan. La corriente me empuja austera y las telas levanta formando así sus largos vestidos en las paredes, la brisa le da voz a sus murmures. Las sombras caminan por el comedor, en el vestidor bailan un sombrío son. Los veo deambular en la cocina, sus siluetas en el tapiz preparando magno festín, mas a su sombra se halla la miseria servida en la mesa. Alzan las copas derramando el vino, así sus voces llegan a mis oídos enalteciendo mi demencia, provocándome dudas acerca de mi tambaleante cordura.
—Por supuesto es un simple viento, es el resplandor de la noche y mi soledad atrayendo al delirio—susurro tratando de convencerme, pero sus risas se resbalan entre el revestimiento, vacío me siento, despreciado equiparable al arcón sobre el cual dos figuras reposan—No es confusión, la escena frente a mí no ha sido provocada por mi frágil razón—admito permitiendo a mi corazón liberar el miedo, un pánico incontrolable que por un instante me paraliza.
Es mi anhelo de compañía su presencia, surge en el vendaval mi locura, sus festejos son delirios y gritando los llamo, mas sus vitorear es alegre y a quién le interesa la tristeza de este sucio pagano. No callarían hasta que lo aceptara, no vendrían si yo no avanzaba, pero aún queda en mí temor, miedo a demostrar mi sentir. Mientras recibo sus burlas, no anhelo lastima, quizás al quebrantarme me harán tomarla.
–Sometido a su riguroso juicio grito sin parar al desgastado tapiz. Lloro y me lamento, su voz no hace más que acrecer. Ya que esta es mi tristeza y este mi patético lamento, entonces importancia no le darían, si en ellos no desataban este vil tormento.
Basta un estruendo para esclarecer la sombría estancia, difusas otras tres figuras concibo surgiendo debajo de las telas vistiéndolas cual velos. Retrocedo imaginando que pronto despertaría, sin embargo; mientras la luz iba y venía su infecta piel queda al descubierto. Con cada resplandor se aproximan, con amarillentos dientes sonríen, traslucida humanidad que denota la muerte resaltando así sus huesos y ampollas. En mi mente solo queda la idea de escapar, miro las puertas cerradas, desesperado por encontrar un lugar para la soledad y así tras un destello más una escalera logro divisar. Las siluetas aun rondan, su presencia me transforma en la sombra, aquella que tambaleante y presurosa asciende por los apenas visibles peldaños. Nos soy precavido, quizá me han visto, tal vez me han llamado, pero siendo controlado por un desmesurado pavor solo anhelo regresar al silencio.
Recorro la prominente escalinata sin siquiera sostenerme de la barandilla, uno a uno la oscuridad sube los escalones, me pisan los talones. Siento escalofríos, su toque helado palpa mis pies, consumiendo todo a su paso en oscuridad yace el salón, callando susurros la penumbra solo silencio deja, deleitándose de mi desesperación me permite avanzar.
He llegado arriba y nada queda bajo mi planta, silente pasillo que recorro, simple madera decorando los arcos. Finas molduras talladas, elegantes lobos labrados sobre mi cabeza, estrecho es el pasadizo y lo único que al final espera es una roída puerta.
Camino sin prisa esperando el amanecer, escuchando la lluvia caer, me sobresalta una gota que en el piso se estampa, entonces pisadas tras las mías escucho. Paseo con lentitud y al prestar atención desiguales pasos resuenan, avanzo con más prisa y un aparente eco me sigue, así que decido detenerme para escapar de mis dudas, nada, solo silencio. Salto al oír un trueno, y mis ojos abro al observar mi silueta, encadena mi muñeca a ostentosa cadena, temeroso sigo su origen, nada además de oscuridad.
Deben ser mis delirios, tal vez es el cansancio, pero nervioso estoy y no anhelo más que llegar a tocar el pomo de la puerta. Apresurado y con largas zancadas a este me aproximo, los pasos detrás mío regresan.
—No es nada, debo estar desvariando— pronuncio y calmo recorro el largo corredor, pronto las escucho otra vez, estrepitosas pisadas y sus ecos ensordeciendo mis oídos—Ha de ser el viento o la tormenta, no es nadie más que mi demencia—me detengo para recuperar el aliento, atento a cualquier sonido , mero sosiego llena mis oídos, quieto y sigiloso permanezco, entonces sus pasos se vuelven rápidos, la madera cruje, chirrían los tablones, destellan los luceros de la lluvia revelando una sombra a la cual estoy atado.
Encadenado a singular doncella, quien oculta su rostro en un harapiento capuchón y de su interior cientos de hilos se desprenden formando sus cabellos. Los eslabones me guían hasta ella, en la pared miro nuestras sombras unidas, entre la oscuridad le escucho jadear, finas hebras salen de su barbilla y en sus labios sobresalen las puntas de las agujas que los sellan. Debajo de su piel se mueven los alfileres pinchando y levantando su grisácea corteza, sus resuellos se intensifican provocando que su mandíbula no pueda quedarse en su lugar.
Chasquean sus dientes, resopla vertiendo en mí su pútrido aliento, quizá son mis piernas las que tiemblan y mi entorpecida respiración la que me condena. Débil se balancea, a pesar de ello, sus pisadas quebrantan los cielos ocasionando relámpagos cuyos destellos encienden poco a poco sus ojos y delatan sus asquerosas manos. Con lentitud avanza, pero apenas retrocedo con vigor embiste, acercándose con largas zancadas, se desvanece en la oscuridad y retorna al unísono del vendaval. Al fin alanzo el pomo, abro la puerta y tan pronto la cruzo pongo el cerrojo, cayendo al suelo cuando aquel malicioso ser choca con la madera.
—De cualquier forma, entraré—la escucho decir afuera del dormitorio, con un tono risueño, pero áspero.
Frágil luce la cama en medio del cuarto, mas asustado sobre esta me tiendo. Polvorientas son las sábanas en las que me hundo, mirando por debajo de la puerta su sombra, acoplándose a la tormenta su voz. Todavía empuja y la ventana tras de mí no es suficiente para dispersar la penumbra.
—He rezado por sosiego, cierto es que tú no auguras tal paz. Entonces dígame, señora mía ¿Cuál es el motivo de su visita? —por un instante me alegro pues no hay nadie llamando a la puerta, pero un golpe pone fin a mi dicha.
—Soy yo lo único que vendrá, sin importar cuanto clames o llores nadie más acudirá. Me has convocado y, de cualquier forma, entraré—es terca y desafiante, nada que necesite en estos momentos, es locura para mis delirios, frio intensificado el desamparo.
—Nunca invitaría a nadie a esta mi agonía, jamás alguien se adentraría en este mi pesar. Así que puede marcharse, pues no anhelo confundir el consuelo con falacias otra vez—ruego para que parta y me deje en paz mientras mi corazón resuena sin cesar.
—Entonces permíteme entrar ya que hasta aquí he llegado. Escúchame, sé que esta vez podemos terminarlo—no respondo y eso la enfurece, caen las astillas ante su ímpetu, me escondo bajo las telas creyendo que eso me protegerá de su furor—¡Atiende mis amonestaciones ya que has decido callar! Oculta la llave o juega con las cerraduras, sé que esperas a que alguien llegue, pero aquí afuera no hay nadie más, así que sigue sujetando el cerrojo e intenta gritar con fuerza pues, de cualquier forma, entraré— dice de nueva cuenta, y me hace querer llorar, no habría mayor alivio para mí que el de sus pisadas alejándose de la puerta.
—Añoro la soledad a la que me he acostumbrado, ese silencio que me calma, esta helada habitación que me abriga— mis ojos han comenzado a cerrarse, pero esta insistente entidad no me daría tal sosiego, tan inquietante como las dudas en mi cabeza me mantiene en vela.
—Eres tú quien me ha invitado a su morada, pues tu inquietud me llama y tu desesperación me incita—no calla ni se marcha. Nadie fue tan insistente, solo ella, esa sensación que siempre viene cuando nadie a mi habitación entra, sin importar cuan fuertes sean mis gritos— Podría repetirlo toda la noche, pero he de advertirte una vez más, de cualquier forma, entraré.
—Y ahora soy yo quien cierra la puerta—cansado me encuentro, deseo dormir, añoro el lejano sueño y la apenas palpable realidad ante mis luceros—Si así lo deseas irrumpe de una vez, este no es mi hogar, así que tal vez encuentres una mejor forma de entrar— he lidiado con las voces en mi cabeza por tanto tiempo que ya no reconozco la mía.
Estoy harto de su terquedad, estoy asustado por su preocupación, nadie había venido a mi puerta con tal insistencia o interés, pero no abriré aquí no hay cabida para su compasión, no creeré en la piedad. El caos tras el cristal, la ventana solo me muestra un diluvio eterno, me rindo al sueño demasiado agotado para seguir, ignorando el dolor en mi brazo mientras la mujer tira de la cadena que ha quedado tendida bajo el marco de la puerta.

The song "Fever Dreams" by Dio features a guitar intro riff where the first 3 beats of the 4/4 bars have a hard eighth tremolo effect and the last beat disables the tremolo, at least that's what I have made out so far.
https://youtu.be/QAY3DCizvh0?feature=shared
1) Do you think it's possible for a player to switch on and off a tremolo effect so many times and still make it sound decent? (synchronized, etc.)
2) Is it possible that there is something else going on here and not a tremolo effect? For example, could it be just a DAW automation track that does all the job and not the guitar player actively switching ON and OFF the effect with this foot? I have not yet discovered a live video of the song that he does this. On live versions the guitar player just mutes the power chords to simulate the staccato / tremolo effect.

Delving into three intertwining timelines and employing a time-traveling twist, "Mallari" presents an ambitious scope. While the writers were able to tame this beast with a narrative that manages to engage and leaving its audiences intrigued, the overreliance on jump scares and the occult fails to tie up effectively with the overall storyline. This heavy-handed (and unnecessary) approach to horror detracts from what could have been a refined, narrative-driven film instead.
Dr. Jonathan Mallari de Dios (Piolo Pascual) embarks on a journey to his ancestral home in Magalang, Pampanga, in search of a hidden chamber from his childhood - a chamber purportedly holding a cure for his fiancée's (Janella Salvador) severe illness. Upon arrival, we're introduced to his ancestors: Fr. Juan Severino Mallari (Piolo Pascual), the notorious 19th-century Filipino serial killer, and Johnrey Mallari (Piolo Pascual), a chronicler of World War II in the Philippines for the Americans. As eerie occurrences unfold within the house, it becomes evident that his quest may bring more harm than good to his loved ones.
In the realm of fantastical and supernatural cinema like "Mallari," stringent logic isn’t always to be expected. There's always a give and take involved as we're delving into imaginary stuff. Yet, the fundamental plot struggles to find coherence. Elements often feel forced, serving the narrative agenda without solid grounding. The biggest question for us is why is there a need to continue the legacy of murders across time? While the rationale is clear in the 1800s in Fr. Mallari's time, subsequent timelines lack this clarity and cohesion. The handling of time travel also raises eyebrow-raising issues, from small stuff such as our protagonists modern-day attire back in time without issue to seamless communication across eras to bigger issues such as the reasons how the Mallaris are able to go selectively go back in time.
However, the film's glaring misstep lies in its gratuitous use of unnecessary horror and jump scares. The continuous barrage of ghostly appearances lacks purpose, serving more to frustrate than thrill. It's apparent why they put this excessive amount in "Mallari" and ironically it backfires by producing the opposite effect. Despite these drawbacks, "Mallari" maintains a level of entertainment. It's fundamentally flawed but manages to strike occasional emotional chords, buoyed by its visually captivating cinematography and commendable performances by Piolo Pascual and JC Santos in particular. Surprisingly, a degree of attachment develops with the main characters, though the film could have greatly benefited from more refinement and streamlining. "Mallari" assumes forced scares are necessary for a fulfilling experience, missing the mark on delivering a cleaner and better narrative in the process.

Es que literal, su nombre es dinero, vive como rico a costilla de mucha gente, usa el nombre de Dios en vano para atraer a sus seguidores, hasta es descarado para pedir dinero como cuando dijo que a Dios se le alaba con la chequera, yo no encuentro sentido a que alguien que crea en Dios pueda hacerse millonario y vivir como millonario, cuando hasta la misma biblia dice que los ricos no entran al reino de los cielos

I'm rereading the main 10 and this time I'm weaving in the ICE books in their proper order. I didn't particularly enjoy NoK, but there were some parts that stood out, mainly Temper. After finishing Bonehunters, I started RotCG. The writing has improved, surely. The prologue was amazing. I'm enjoying the storylines immensely. Kyle, Storo, Rillish and Chord, the Old Guard and particularly Mallick Rel. Yes, fuck Mallick Rel and all that, but he's growing to be one of my favourite characters. When it comes to characters in fiction, I don't go by good and evil, I go by interesting and annoying. On that note, fuck Clip. The Ghelel storyline is yet to interest me, but I think that's just to give an outsider's perspective on Amaron and Choss.
That said, I am struggling to read it. I like that there are dozens of things happening at once and the storylines will eventually converge. But prose, dios mio, the prose. It's like ICE put a lot of effort into certain atmosphere heavy scenes, like the prologue and a certain coup in a certain Quon Talian city.. and just breezed through the scenes connecting these awesome events. And he's very lacking in subtlety. This is a non spoiler post, so I won't go into details. But there are times when a character will say something that's in step with the themes of the novel, but then another character will sort of "point it out" immediately afterwards. That short circuits my reward pathway. I don't want to know what I already understood from context. Show-don't-tell kind of takes a back seat with ICE.
So, as put in the title, if I eventually reread the main 16, will ICE novels be better as well?
