Crow!

I have a question...questions? Request? Maybe a little bit of both...?

I am a (relative) newcomer to the fandom, I've been hyper-focused on Ghost for the last year and my heart's completely, irreparably and quite blissfully gone on all of the Era IV Ghouls (Phantom and Aurora included), but, in particular, on our beloved Earth Ghoul Mountain (Mmmmmountain...💕)

HOWEVER, recently, I've begun trying to learn more about the previous era's Ghouls, and although I already have a growing appreciation for Omega, there's another that I find myself circling back to again and again and again...

...Zephyr.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a distressingly small amount of information on him in terms of HC's and fandom lore which really does make it harder to get a feel for his character and personality, so, I was wondering if you could help with that.

How do you see him in your head?

What is he like?

Who is he to you?

Please help me add a tenth Ghoul to the nine I already love...

hi, welcome!

ive got lots of headcanons about them so i'd love to go through some of those for you. i'll drop some great zephyr photos first and then we'll continue under the cut :3

firstly, i cant tell you where the name zephyr originated. maybe fanfiction or other fan circles. zephyr is more commonly known as "chAir", because they were almost always sitting down to play. sort of like cowbell is named after the instrument he appeared for two seconds to play lmao

you'll notice i use they/them pronouns for zeph. thats something i picked up from @gayrickgrimes when i first started interacting more with ghost fanfic. but lots of people also use he/him. not sure why nonbinary zeph has really stuck with me since then, but i quite enjoy it!

i would say the most commonly shared headcanons about zephyr are as follows:

older in age, like omega or alpha often are portrayed

has chronic back and/or joint pain (there's lots of clips of them walking off stage holding their back, thus the headcanon)

has light or white hair, commonly portrayed as longish and wavy.

reserved. maybe a little "old mannish" at times. less spontaneous than other ghouls.

however! they like groovin' on stage. can be seen doing some wiggles during their keytar solo or jamming out on their stool.

some artistic portrayals i love are @endopyre's, @turbodrawn's, and @kamonart's :3 also for a portrayal that doesnt necessarily fit those 'common' appearance hc's above is @joeynihil's zeph, whom i LOVEEE.

i also love @divine-misfortune's depictions of them, but i have indeed given void the zephyr brainrot soooo....oopsies sorry not sorry.

so, now onto the things i specifically headcanon about zephyr. i dont know if youve read any of my ficlets with them yet, but i do have a few! generally, i hc pretty similar to the above bullet points. some other thoughts i have are as follows:

i think zeph has a more antiquated way of speaking. doesnt use a lot of slang or 'modern' words. is very precise, refined in the way that they speak.

very amicable with and well-loved by their pack (aether, ifrit, dew, mountain).

has an 'air' about them, if you will (pardon the pun haha). some may say its too much like they're looking down their nose at you, but i think they're clever, smooth, and teasing in equal measure. has a way with words, in more ways than one.

they really do like to have fun on stage, and i think they like to 'let loose' a little bit that way. that ghoul can groove and move when they want to! and i do enjoy watching ritual footage of them, would recommend <3

not sure if you're interested in unglamoured hc's, but i think they turn very gangly, resembling something like a vulture or other long-legged birds. taloned feet and hands. hocked legs. feathers sticking out behind their ears and tattered, crooked wings. bright eyes that glow in the dark and can see for miles. razor sharp teeth. literally terrifying if you catch them peering at you from high in the trees.

likes when the others offer to help with their back pains. ifrit with his warm hands. aether with his quintessence. maybe mountain with weed or dew taking them to the lake to take some weight of their joints. always very kind, thankful in return.

i think the abbey has a chapel with an organ that zeph likes to play. i think that's what they learned on originally, and transferred that knowledge to the keyboard. when they retired from the band they still enjoyed playing for midnight mass or special occasions.

lastly, i think zeph is a quiet dom. very controlled of a ghoul in normal situations, but very good at controlling and directing others. has a silver tongue and can absolutely take mountain down to studs with just words. i have many feelings about mountzeph in general, and how their dynamic works, which ive explored a little bit. but in general, i think zeph likes to have that control, either because they have pain that doesnt allow them the freedom to explore certain pleasures, and/or because thats what they like. its natural and fun for them. and its certainly fun for everyone else involved lmao. i just think of them as a very elegant ghoul in all aspects of their life.

all in all, im very fond of zephyr as a character, at least how i see them in my head and how i've seen them portrayed by others thus far! hopefully that can serve as some inspiration for you in 'getting to know' this air ghoul :3

I’m going to start using Tumblr more to post my random ideas that will never become fic/art because I don’t have the time/skill/energy/etc. so here’s what @bertandfearnie and I have come up with for a Bell’s Hells modern band AU

we wanted Imogen to play electric guitar because lol electric so funny and clever, but I think she would at least start with acoustic. for the folk/country vibes. her guitar would have little purple lightning bolt stickers on it though (Laudna helped her decorate it)

maybe she can upgrade to electric once she learns to accept her inner angst and rage lol

I also want Laudna on electric guitar so that they can do the thing where they lean their backs against each other and play

we like a Ruidus-themed name. so far our best ideas are Red Moon Murder or Ruidus is a Killer

FCG is the drums. he doesn’t play them, he is them. they have cymbal hand attachments. Ashton plays them with excessive force

Fearne plays a cowbell but she just rings it all the time. eventually the cowbell is taken away and then she just shows up with a random instrument every time

Dorian is lead singer, Laudna also sings

Orym has stage fright but he writes all their lyrics

we’re very stuck on Chetney bc we wanted him to play a wooden instrument but all our ideas were stupid. please advise

#cr3 #eve watches cr3 #critical role #bells hells #cr headcanons #queue can certainly try

Every Time I Die - The Big Dirty Record Label: Ferret Release Date: September 4 2007 When I say the term “southern metalcore,” what band comes to mind? If it’s not either Maylene & The Sons Of Disaster or Every Time I Die, we’ve got some issues to work out here. Not because those are the only two bands, but because those two bands were the biggest ones in this weird niche sub-subgenre of metalcore. Today I wanted to focus on the latter, but before we start, let’s take a moment to pay our respects to Every Time I Die, who broke up unexpectedly at the end of last year. Southern metalcore is such a cool style of metalcore, I’m really sad that it never caught on more than just a few years in the early to mid-00s. By the early 2010s, only a couple of bands were still around, such as The Ongoing Concept (who were pretty good, mind you), but Every Time I Die were one of the pioneers of the style. I first listened to this band in 2007, and it’s one of those experiences that I’ll never forget. Alternative Press released a compilation album that was meant to be a “back to school” comp. It was the only one they ever released, but I picked it up, both because I read that magazine a lot, and there were a lot of bands I had never heard of, or that I’ve heard of, but never listened to. Bands like Chiodos, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Head Automatica, Panic! At The Disco, Gym Class Heroes, Envy On The Coast, and Every Time I Die. The compilation featured a lot of rarities, B-sides, and unreleased songs, but a few of them were songs that were already out. The latter was the case for the Every Time I Die song featured on the record, that song being “Rendez-Voodoo” from their recently released fourth album, 2007′s The Big Dirty. The album turned 15 just a week prior to writing this, and I’ve been listening to it again to prepare for this review, because this is one of the first albums I wanted to talk about. Spoiler alert: The Big Dirty is one of my favorite albums of all time, and it’s also my favorite Every Time I Die album. Not only was this record the first “southern metalcore” album I found, it was also one of the first metalcore albums I heard period. I don’t know what the first metalcore album I heard was, only because I listened to so many albums at that time, where I was just getting into music, so I don’t know what albums I listened to first. I do know, however, that this was one of the first ones, and I fell absolutely in love with it, whether it was because of their insanely groovy and sweet southern-fried riffs, their intense breakdowns, and vocalist Keith Buckley having some of the best harsh vocals I’ve ever heard, as well as some great clean vocals, as well as their poignant and clever lyrics. This was the band’s fourth album, and by this point, Every Time I Die was a relatively big bad. They released their debut in 2001, entitled Last Night In Town, and it’s a decent mathcore / metalcore album, but that’s it. I just listened to that for the first time the other day, and I like it, but it’s kind of unremarkable, because it sounds like a lot of stuff from 2001 / 2002, so it’s a bit forgettable. Sophomore album, 2003′s Hot Damn, however, is where they started to show their potential and progress their sound into what The Big Dirty would become. The southern riffs show up there a bit, and there’s a cowbell that shows up at a certain point, but it’s on 2005′s Gutter Phenomenon would be where you really started to hear their southern metalcore mashup sound. That album featured more of the southern charm that we’d come to know from them, as well as some clean vocals from Buckley. The Big Dirty is where the band gets that balance of southern rock riffs and metalcore breakdowns perfect. They got that formula down to a science on this record, and this is almost a lightning in a bottle type of record, because I don’t think they could have replicated this if they tried. It’s also really interesting, because they didn’t even have a bass player on this record, so guitarists Jordan Buckley and Andy Williams performed bass. Just from the opening song, “No Son Of Mine,” and that riffs kick in, you know you’re in for a real treat. Songs like “Pigs Is Pigs,” “We’rewolf,” and “INRIhab,” the latter featuring Alexisonfire vocalist Dallas Green are some fun and tasty southern metalcore jams. “Rendez-Voodoo” is still my favorite cut on this album, and it features this great balance between a catchy hook and really groovy and beefy southern metalcore grooves, as well as lyrics that were both very clever and poignant. Keith Buckley was known for his very interesting and intelligent sense of lyricism, even on their early albums. They tackled a lot of typical topics of heartbreak, relationships, angst, and the typical emo stuff that these bands talked about, but they did it with such a sense of intelligence, poise, and gravitas. Hell, Buckley took inspiration from Shakespeare on certain lyrics, for example, but the lyrics on this record are great, too. It goes without saying that this whole album is fantastic in every way and it’s held up in all the best ways over the past 15 years. A lot of bands have been influenced by these guys, and I wish a southern metalcore revival would happen, because I really love this kind of style. Something about the southern grooves meeting the metalcore breakdowns is awesome, but that’s neither here nor there. Every Time I Die obviously did a lot more after this record, including 2009′s New Junk Aesthetic, which is also very good, but they released some albums in the 2010s that I didn’t really care for. They weren’t bad, but they got more experimental as time went on, and I just wanted more fun and carefree southern metalcore. Not that they can’t do whatever they want, but the more experimental stuff just wasn’t for me. In 2021, they released Radical, which would unexpectedly end up being their last album, but also my second favorite album, because they went back to that sound. That album is chock full of tasty grooves, riffs, and breakdowns, including some catchy hooks and intelligent lyrics, so it’s worth hearing again if you haven’t heard it, let alone haven’t listened to it in awhile.

FROM THE SMALL’S ARCHIVE: AARON GOLDBERG with Mats Sandahl and Eviatar Slivnik, MEZZROW’S, 13 OCTOBER 2023, 9 pm set

Sometimes it’s the rhythm section, sometimes it’s the pianist. This time it was AARON GOLDBERG who has done some fine with with Omer Avital and Branford Marsalis but who hasn’t quite moved into the can’t miss category. I fostered that suspicion as they opened with the rather programmatic Dreaming of Freedom written by a French Caribbean tenor saxist who visited one of the colonial prisons. It was nice but felt composed and atmospheric more than jazz. A contrafact of Joe Henderson’s Serenity was unsettled but not harsh, but didn’t quite resolve despite obvious talent by all three.

Sometimes it should be the rhythm section. Both were unknown to me—no longer. Mats Sandahl found clever spaces for comments, both harmonic and rhythmic. But Eviatar Slivnik was even more striking. Goldberg aptly dubbed him “Tasty.” He had the Mezzrow’s/trio dynamics just right while adding ear cathching touches at every turn. He had a cowbell on his tom during Black Orpheus, in the middle of a Brazilian medley, that moved that already sinuous beat around magically.

That medley turned the set around for me. Goldberg let some jazz break out and they simmered things nicely. Then it got exciting. They took off on McCoy Tyner’s Effendi which swung richly, but with subtle, not obvious, power. The follow up was Poinciana with a clever rhythmic hiccup, but still properly pretty and swinging. Sandahl and Slivnik evoked Israel Crosby and Vernel Fournier from Ahmad Jamal’s trio while properly doing their own thing. Hearing Goldberg paying tribute to Tyner and Jamal in quick succession and sounding like Aaron Goldberg throughout was a jazz moment that I didn’t see coming.

FBX Results

The tenth anniversary Frigid Bitch was a celebration of a decade’s worth of toughing out any shit the world had handy to throw your way, grabbing your bike and slogging through the elements with whatever ragtag badass crew you managed to scrape together. Vet racers worth their salt noticed that the checkpoints on their home-printed manifests were labeled by year instead of the classic cheesy conundrum codes. What could it possibly mean???

The start being remote, cyclists all over the city strategized their initial locations and prepared their maps, gear, & breakfast buffets. Clogging up cafe floors, squeezing into friends’ conveniently located apartments, or heading to the highest place they thought in likely proximity to a checkpoint; email inboxes were repeatedly refreshed as they waited for the location drop.

Then bam, there they were - in chronological order, the 9 best checkpoints from previous years’ races starting with the heart of the city and cycling down through social hubs, cliffside staircase intersections, riverside punk spots, aggressive cobbles, off road hike-your-bike sites, and of course: big ass hills. The tenth checkpoint was this year’s addition, the crown on the brow of FBX: The House of Raging Women.

The Point

The heart of the city that everyone knows, the only location to have already been used twice before including in the first Frigid Bitch frozen fountain race.

photos by Alex Diese

OTB

Longtime sponsor of the race and the original South Side cyclist social hub, home of the unforgettable Go Red Gold Sprints; the volunteers at OTB set up a Trek mechanic station stocked with all the typical tools of the trade.

Romeo

One of the best/worst checkpoints of all time, anyone following the hand drawn manifest map found themselves riding down a deserted-lookin dead end street, discovering a set of steps apparently running through resident’s backyards and flowing into a massive staircase culminating in a full-on street-signed intersection in the middle of the urban wooded cliffside and then back up the adjacent staircase to find a host of members of Yinz Run Club cheering and slinging snacks & shots. Anyone clever enough to approach from the other side had to run or ride down and up one of Pittsburgh’s infinite steep cobbled hillsides.

Rialto

The best known urban Dirty Dozen hill, clocking in at about a 20% grade average but hitting over 30% in spots. The narrow near-one-lane road shoots straight up into Troy Hill from Route 28. A brand new set up steps was a life saver for the racers not brave enough to attempt the ride up, while others resolutely blocked astounded drivers stuck behind them. Bike Pgh staff met them at the top with a hard cider reward.

The Button v2

The last time the actual Button down the train tracks from 43rd street was a checkpoint for the Frigid Bitch, race day had it completely submerged by the icy floodwaters of that winter’s thaw. This year the stop migrated slightly west and featured a mechanic and ride-your-own-margarita station sponsored by SweetWater Bikes in front of a steep gravel descent onto rocky Allegheny Riverbed that only one cyclist dared ride down. A few others bypassed the gravel entirely by scaling the weedy cliff behind the margarita machine. Volunteers waited under the glorious looming presence of the 40th St Bridge, smoke-set with tiki torches and watching to make sure no roadie-shoe-shod babes slipped into the river.

Grandview Overlook

The classic photo spot of the city, it is, of course, up a big ass hill.

The Schenley Lake

Train tracks criss cross all over this town, and racers had to cut through another set in Schenley Park to get to Panther Hollow Lake. Volunteers at this checkpoint made all the early arrivees throw down their bikes and wait til go time before cowbelling them off in a run for their manifest stamps. Many ran, some jogged, a few sauntered, and one was heard to say “I’m not running just because some dude told me to.” Rock on.

photos by Evan Burlew

Melwood Steps

Oh hello, it’s another set of steps. Carrying your bike is a skill, they say. A couple racers self-penalized their time on this one by blasting down the Herron Ave S-bends without catching the turn to the Melwood Staircase just across the street from the RockRoom.

photos by Scott Kowalski

Climax St

Probably the best checkpoint of all time, back again from last year for double the fun. This time the overgrown sidewalks directed riders straight up to a crew of Venture Outdoors volunteers stationed at the apex of the small but mighty cobbled bump in our South Hills.

photos by Valerie Beichner

The House of Raging Women

The premier checkpoint of FBX! The HORW was never before used as a Frigid Bitch checkpoint but was once included in the first alleycat we ever hosted: the infamous Ladies’ Night race. Transformed to a surreal and dada-like celebration of the Frigid Bitch director, Bananna-LenaVille could only be found by the semi-secret back-alley entrance behind a flush of rowhouses under the shadow of Children’s Hospital. One group of riders spent precious clock time sniffing around up and down the hill block on 44th before the local post man hollered “Yinz looking for a party??? It’s in the alley!!”

photos by Keith Watson

The Finish

Back at the Wheel Mill a rush of racers threw their bikes on the ground and their bodies up the stairs to find the race official and fling their manifests into her hands. They celebrated, they chowed down on Revival Chili, they gabbed, changed clothes, grabbed a Necromancer Brew, and hunkered down to wait for the results. When the darling FBX MC picked up the microphone though, it was to announce something else first....

The Pittsburgh Babes on Bikes Racing Team Debut

There’s a brand new team in Pittsburgh and it’s pulled from the crew of women and under-represented gender identity cyclists that make up the massive pool of Frigid Bitch bad-asses. Powerhouse hitters in the cycling scene, the team is ready to rejuvenate racing in Pittsburgh and beyond. These babes are here, some of them are queer, and they’re out to have a damn good time racing bikes and taking you with them.

from left to right: Anna-Lena Kempen, Bonnie Gilbery, Laura Davidson-Brienza, Sara Khalil, Sawyer Sidelinger, and Shequaya Bailey.

The FBX Podium

If the debut of a brand sparkling new team of killers wasn’t enough, FBX was ready to pull out the celebratory stops with the first podium announcement. ALK took over the mic to haul up the best, the brightest, the bitchiest - the longest running Frigid Bitch contenders of all time.

Smiling Critter OC Fun Facts! (+ Silly doodles)

because I gotta talk about them or I will explode

under the cut cuz it got longer than I thought it would lol

💙 🎭 Randy RatTrick 🎭 💙

Randy has an interest in the performing arts! Specifically theatre, but he also dabbles in close up magic tricks (his last name is a pun on Hat Trick after all lmao).

Randy’s character was inspired by Swiper from Dora the Explorer and Pete in Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. They both tend to play antagonistic, even villainous roles, but aren’t actually evil, and will actually help the main characters out every so often. Though, in Randy’s case, it takes him a bit to get to that point.

CatNap is the only one of the critters that Randy never really becomes friends with. They might have moments of mutual understanding, but in general, the best they get to is being willing to work together towards a common goal. Like, if someone was being mean to their friend, they’d work together to beat the shit out of that guy.

Randy’s favorite food is pasta. It’s also the only food he knows how to cook, for some reason.

Randy is very genre savvy. If he recognizes a common trope in a situation he’ll lampshade the hell out of it.

Randy is Gay!

💜 🎤 Rozzie Rockoon 🎤 💜

Rozzie is a fan of pretty much all genres of music, but her favorites are rock and roll, country, and jazz.

Rozzie names all her instruments. When asked about this, she’ll respond with, “What? You don’t?”

Rozzie’s oldest and favorite instrument is a Spanish guitar she named Salma.

Rozzie’s often gets her name mispronounced as “Rosie.” It used to bother her a lot, but nowadays she doesn’t really care.

She often struggles to come up with lyrics for songs. The melody and instrumentation come a lot easier to her.

Once, she stayed up late trying to write lyrics for a song, and somehow, CatNap caught wind of it and appeared in her house to convince her to go to sleep. It scared the shit out of her, and she still has no idea how CatNap got into her house.

Rozzie’s favorite food is cherry pie.

Rozzie is Aroace!

🤎 🔔 Clever Cowbelle 🔔 🤎

Clever and Bubba have a bit of a rivalry. Not nearly as bad as CatNap and Randy, but enough to cause occasional wacky science hijinks. In her hypothetical debut episode of the hypothetical cartoon, they would actually have known each other prior to said episode.

Clever is secretly jealous of Bubba, as he’s able to make friends relatively easily, something Clever struggles with. Her jealousy is part of what fuels her half of the rivalry. Good luck getting her to admit it, though.

Clever has a tendency to refer to people by their last name instead of their first name, out of a desire to seem more “proper.” The closer she is to someone, the more likely she is to call them by their first name.

Clever’s favorite drink is hot chocolate. She drinks the stuff like it’s coffee. Or alcohol. Whatever’s funnier for the scenario.

Clever is very smart, except when it comes to her and other people’s emotions. She is not very good at comforting people, but she tries.

Clever’s goggles are a comfort item for her. She only takes them off to sleep.

Clever is Bisexual and Transfem!

🩷 🧭 GobyGills 🧭 🩷

GobyGills gained his legs after finding a magic pearl on the seafloor. Not realizing it was magical, he made a wish to explore somewhere new, and the pearl granted it by giving him legs and sending him to land.

Goby needs the pearl to transform between his legged form and tail form. If he loses the pearl, he’s stuck in whatever form he was in when he lost it, until he finds it again.

Goby struggled with walking when he first arrived on land. Even after learning to walk, he’s still very clumsy, often tripping over nothing. He’s much more nimble underwater.

Goby looks up to Bubba for his intelligence.

Goby mispronounces words a lot. This annoys Bubba greatly, though he tries not to show it. There’s a running gag of the other critters accidentally using the mispronounced words.

Goby’s favorite food changes every week. In his words, “They’re all just so good! How could I pick?”

Goby is Pansexual!

Allman Brothers Band: good music for dropping acid to

Allman, Gregg: That’s too many Gs for one name

Animals: House Of The Rising Sun, or who even cares

Argent: Sometimes Hold Your Head Up is really catchy

Asia: Tuesdays

Autograph: one of the members went on to be a pharmacist

Bush: ditto

Candlebox: ditto once more. Who are these people?

Cheap Trick: I played Dream Police on Guitar Hero so fucking much because it was the only song anyone who played with me could keep up with

Chicago: Chicago 30 exists, but they do not have 30 albums. Fucking riddle me that

Cochrane, Tom: For some reason, everyone thinks Rascal Flats did it better

Cocker, Joe: Belushi did it right
