The Rynth Family

What happens when a lizard and a fish fall in love-

Sorry that was terrible lksdjfsldkfj

But here we have the Rynth family! One of my more crackier ships with absolutely no reasoning behind it, but eh, that’s what terminal shipping does to ya.

Synth and Riff met after one of Riff’s concerts. Barb, Riff, and the rest of their band came to Trollstopia to perform on day, and Synth was invited by Branch to come to the performance. Synth was absolutely blown away by the music, but most of all by the drummer. Just something about how incredibly fast he moved, even slamming his own face into the drums was just amazing! So after the concert, when Branch offers to take Synth to meet Barb and the band, Synth jumps on the opportunity.

Imagine Synth’s surprise when the drummer turns out to be Barb’s younger brother, and a Prince no less! Despite this, Synth walked right up to him and shook his hand, going on a long winded spiel about how amazing he found his drumming and how excited he was to meet him, so on and so forth. Riff was taken aback by the excitable techno troll, never having someone come up to compliment him specifically after a show. He shyly thanked him, keeping how he found the Techno Ambassador to be fucking adorable to himself, but did nervously asked to exchange contact info.

The two became fast friends after that night. Synth would call or text him and talk for hours, while Riff would just sit back and listen. After a few months of close friendship, Riff worked up the courage to ask Synth out on a date. Synth was over the moon about it, having started to crush on the Rock Prince himself, and the officially started dating. They hadn’t dated for an entire year before Synth couldn’t take it anymore and popped the question to Riff. Riff immediately said yes, and two were married.

After they wed, Riff moved to Trollstopia, since Synth had duties to fulfill full time as a Councilman. There were some bittersweet tears between Barb and Riff (and maybe Barb pulling Synth to the side and threatening him that if he ever hurt her brother she’d find him and end his entire existence), and Riff officially moved to Trollstopia.

Riff began working as a musical mentor for young trolls, teaching them about rock music and how to play it. It was a few years after they married that Synth found out he was carrying an egg, and the two became parents. And very quickly had two more in rapid succession lol

Riff and Synth love being dads, and raised their kids to appreciate all kinds of music. When Hatchet fell in love with country music, and began working on his own spin on it, the two were over the moon about it. When Hatchet decided to move to Lonesome Flats to pursue his career, the two were sad to see him go, but fully supportive of his dreams. When all three of their kids ended up taking on musical careers, becoming extremely successful super quickly, it was too much for the two. Just look at our babies! They’re so grown up and amazing, omg I can’t take this I’m gonna cry-

They currently still live in Trollstopia with their two youngest, Viper and Lantern, but they can often be found in Lonesome Flats visiting Hatchet or in Techno Reef attending Viper’s raves. They two own copies of all their kids records and show them off proudly to anyone who will listen for two seconds.

And that’s the Rynth fam! Very cheesy love story, but they strike me as a cheesy couple xP And this piece was actually the first one I made exclusively digitally! Super proud of it~

#dreamworks trolls #trolls #myart #trolls oc #trolls world tour #trollstopia #trolls the depths au #trolls rynth #rynth #trolls riff #trolls synth #trolls hatchet #trolls viper #trolls lantern #digital art #babieeesss #I love them sm #synth and riff are definitely super doting dads who do their best to NOT spoil their babies

Wyrm Problem 2

So now we have a viper disguised as a simple garden snake among our protagonists, how will they get along?

Tw: vore mention, injury, harsh language

If he was being honest, Wilbur hated being a Kaiju. But it was either be a Kaiju and stand a chance, or be “human” and get eaten. But that’s the thing: Wilbur technically wasn’t both. He was a hybrid, an unfortunate result of humans trying to understand creatures they couldn’t comprehend. Another thing Wilbur hated was that as a Kaiju he only had his arms to move himself foreward, his legs were his long slithering tail. He had no eyelids so he couldn’t blink (that was irritating at first but he got used to it), he had a massive appetite, and he was just all around out of place. His scales were the wrong color for a forest Viper, so hunting was impossible as a Kaiju.

The only thing he could do was drink and roam around, other Kaiju ignored him because he had a trick up his fangs: venom that would leave them on a 5 hour long drug trip. So it wasn’t all too bad he guessed. He approached the river and sniffed the air, his tongue flickering the catch the scents around him. He picked up a human and a sprinter, huh, odd? They’re never alone, alone is a death sentence. Even for someone like him, had not he found out about his hybrid qualities.

But then he heard it, a squawk. He froze, instantly going into defense mode and camouflaging himself. He watched around carefully, there! In the bushes! How did he not se that before? The human got on his mount and ran. Shit, he scared him. Wilbur normally tried to be human when he meets other humans or Kaizen. But looks like today wasn’t the case exactly as he took off after the human.

That was earlier today. Wilbur felt uneasy around the two rougher men, but Tommy seemed to be the least threatening out of them all. Keyword “seemed,” since he was out by himself without any hints of fear.

Skipping ahead to current time, Wilbur felt uneasy. He normally did when people stared at his unfortunate mutations, but he was getting extra irked out by the Piglin named “Techno.” Wilbur didn’t like how he was being burnt holes into his skin by the pig. The ride to their home was silent, aside from an occasional cough, sneeze, or chittering from the birds they rode.

Dream was mainly focused with Tommy but was constantly glaring with suspicion at Wilbur whenever he got the chance. Wilbur knew he wasn’t a fool, he looked like he was the brains of the trio, he looked like a cold and calculating huntsman, thinking about every move 4 steps ahead. There was no way he could lie to the human, but it was better than the piglin.

Techno was obviously the brute strength of the trio, a well fed and well trained adult piglin was a dangerous one, and Techno reeked of bloodthirsty behavior (mainly because he actually smelled like blood). The piglin had a blank face but Wilbur knew he was skeptical. Kaizen knew the smell of a Kaiju from a mile away, he would only fool him with a sob story of escaping nearly being eaten. Plus the dead stare of blood red eyes glaring with the sharpness of Hygoras teeth were enough to make him unnerved.

“Hello, ground to Wilbur?” Dream said loudly, snapping Wilbur out of his thoughts. Right, he was human, he can blink, and so he did.

“Hm? Yeah! Sorry, just thinking…” Wilbur said, and mentally face palmed. “Just thinking” was what you said in a city, not to a band of huntsmen. That’s what you said if you wanted to become a snakeskin backpack. Or a piece of Kaiju bait since he didn’t have scales at the moment…

He got off the sprinter and followed the three inside the tree, holy shit there were a lot of stairs. Humans are pretty primitive so it made sense somewhat. He took a deep breath and followed them up the stairs of the hollowed out grand oak, marveling at the woodwork. At least they had some downtime to make an unfortunate home nicer.

“You like the woodwork? Me and Techno spent weeks working on it.” Tommy said proudly, trying to break the silence. The piglin only grunted in agreement. “I’ll show you around when we get up to the branches. Hope you’re not allergic to cats or Moth-hounds.”

The teenager looked so giddy, compared to his brothers who were on edge. Even though Wilbur was mildly injured (a burn on his chest and stomach, a deep gash on his right forearm from an accident) they still didn’t trust him.

It’s your eyes and ears, they don’t trust unnatural things. Wilbur thought. Maybe if I lie and say it’s a mutation they’ll believe it. Well, maybe not, it’s kinda hard to lie about literal snake eyes.

They got to the top of the stairwell and Wilbur was amazed by the craftmanship of the tree base. He was sure this wasn’t here a few days ago when he passed by here. Clever humans.

“So, what were you doing all the way out by the river?” Techno asked, mainly glaring at Tommy but asking both the question.

“Well I was out getting supplies when I heard something massive, so I hung back to wait for it-“

“It was a giant fucking snake! The thing wanted to eat me I’m sure of it!” Tommy interrupted.

Ouch, Wilbur thought, slightly flinching. He then realized he flinched and looked to see if anyone noticed, thank the moons there’s not a mind reader in here.

“That might’ve been a viper. They live in the desert though how did one get all the way out here?” Techno said,

“Maybe it realized there was more food?” Wilbur asked because living in a canyon is not very filling. He thought bitterly, remembering all the times desert wildlife nearly claimed his life.

“Then we got a huge problem on our hands.” Dream said. “And you, you were supposed to wait here for us!” Dream scolded Tommy.

“But you might not have known about the viper,” Wilbur pointed out. Techno shot him a look and Wilbur gave a tiny “meep” before quieting down.

“Well how do you know about it when you never went down to the river?” Dream questioned.

“Again, I heard something massive slithering through the undergrowth, but that’s not all. You see this body wrap?” Wilbur pointed to the linen wrapping on his stomach that had faint blood. “There’s something going on out there, the Kaiju are acting weird.”

“What kinda weird?” Techno inquired.

“A few weeks ago I was tracking a group of Platebacks, you know, the ones that like to smoke weed? Well 3 days ago they started acting aggressive and attacked each other-“

“Why were you following Kaiju?” Dream asked, reaching for his sword.

“Relax, Platebacks are vegetarian and have no reason to attack humans or Kaizen.” Wilbur said hurriedly.

“He’s right, I’ve encountered a migration before and they just kinda politely ignored me.” Techno said with a shrug.

“Exactly my point! First they were chill and passive, then as if overnight they were like rabid giant animals.” Wilbur said. “And that’s not all, multiple Kaiju are beginning to act like this that normally have nothing against tiny sentients like me and you.”

“So, are we in danger?” Tommy asked nervously.

“I’m afraid so, the forest is no longer safe, something is making the Kaiju aggressive. Worst of all, there’s one out there that has been actively hunting and eating humans and Kaizen. A minotyr.”

Silence, everyone knew how dangerous a minotyr was. They had the ability to shatter the strongest of bones with one hit, and were impossible to put under. You had to be fast and flexible to survive a pissed off minotyr.

“Well where are we gonna go? I’m not leaving if I don’t know where to go.” Dream crossed his arms.

“We could go to the Diamond Summit range, Skullora are peaceful and willingly help mountain travelers.” Techno suggested. Dream was about to argue,

“Well it’s getting late, we should rest and come up with a plan later.” Tommy said, getting up and walking to his room. Dream sighed, he was exhausted even if his mask hid his face. Techno didn’t show any sign of anything other than that stern militia look.

“Where’s the stray gonna sleep?” Dream said, pointing to Wilbur

“Stray?!” Wilbur echoed, offended.

“He’ll sleep on the couch, I’ll lock the weaponry” Techno said. Wilbur didn’t fully understand their problem with him, why were they so unnecessarily mean? He was “human,” but did they know he was a Kaiju secretly?

“Alright then, I’ll go ahead and sleep on the couch I guess,” Wilbur said in defeat, he wasn’t tired but a nap wouldn’t hurt, right?

“Then it’s settled, tomorrow we make a plan to get out of the forest.” Dream said, walking off. Wilbur was about to go to the couch, but when Dream’s door could be heard opening and slamming shut, he felt a burly hand grab his shoulder.

“Look, I know something’s up with you, and I’ll give you a pass since you clearly are with injury, but just know, this is my family, this is my house. Try anything, and I’ll have your disembodied head mounted next to my sword.” Techno warned, his shoulder spines bristling. “Anyways, get some rest.” Techno said casually, as if he didn’t just threaten to rip Wilbur’s head off 10 seconds ago.

Wilbur clutched his heart, okay, so he was under suspicion by only Dream. Good to know. He didn’t sleep for the whole night, uncomfortable in the presence of danger.

(And that’s where we end Chapter 2! I have made the decision to take a month long break, partially because Owl House is ending and I know there will be lots of spoilers I won’t be able to avoid, but the main reason is because I have started my “Magnum Opus,” if you will, a sort of fictional autobiography. That will release on my birthday! Well, close to it… so that’s why aim taking April off. The hope is so I can focus all of my energy to write this piece I have been thinking about nonstop, so that’s also why it was difficult to complete this chapter. Thank you for reading, see you in late April! Enjoy these funny fillers below, lol)

ROM Flashing Music (Seibu SPI System)

Arcade history time!

In the mid '90s, a company called Seibu Kaihatsu put together a special arcade machine board called the "Seibu SPI System." With it, an arcade operator could simply change out a handful of game cartridges in one machine rather than plunk down money on new boards or cabinets.

There were 7 total games made to work with this board, most famously titles in the "Raiden Fighters" SHMUP series:

When you switched out a game cartridge, the system would then need to flash the ROM of that game, loading it into the board before it was ready to play. That would take an average of about 3-10 minutes.

A cool, totally-not-needed-yet-really-sweet-bonus feature is that 6 of these 7 games played a tune while the ROM was flashing. Such an incredibly awesome, very Japanese thing to do - Give bored arcade operators something to listen to while they set up their machine.

I'd like to share the entire collection of these songs with you - While they may not be groundbreaking as a whole, a few of them are honestly really, really good retro game tracks that should not be lost to obscurity!

I'll start you off with this laid back, Jazzy song from "Raiden Fighters Jet" that sounds like what you hear when you press the "Bossa Nova" button on an old synthesizer keyboard.

This track from "Viper Phase 1" is just a delicious, somber little lullaby that could easily be playing during the sad backstory of a character from a 16 bit Squaresoft RPG.

Short and sweet, this tiny ditty plays a few times while the very short flashing for "Battle Balls" happens.

Low and rumbling with fast-paced drums and techno stingers, this "Raiden Fighters" track had to be exciting to hear while a whole new generation of promising SHMUP goodness was making its way into your arcade.

For the radically named sequel "Raiden Fighters 2: Operation Hell Dive," the previous song was just mixed a bit more full and complex, though the high-ends in the song are insufferably loud to me. This is my least favorite out of the six just because of that.

Don't worry, though, I saved the best for last to heal up your ears:

This was the first ROM flashing song I heard, when I was testing out my arcade game set a ways back. It's for the romance/sexytime mahjong game "E-Jong High School."

While I had to wait quite some time for this particular flashing, ththis track made it a serene experience. It's just so peaceful and chill... Honestly, I was kind of bummed when the timer got down to 000 and the game started. Thankfully, the music is easy to preserve! :)

Hopefully you enjoyed at least one of these to make your day a little more awesome.

Every single one of these games' soundtracks were made by Go Sato, a very busy Japanese composer (check that link for the big body of work). The exception is "Raiden Fighters Jet," which was composed by Yasuhiro Hashimoto.

However, after listening to the ROM flashing song for Jet, I have an inkling that the track was made by Go Sato as well.

More recently, Go composed the music for Cotton Rock 'n' Roll!

Here is a picture of Go with a cuddly friend (Go is the one on the left):
