EP Stream: The Mayor - Live At The Acropolis

The Mayor signs to Kill Iconic Records and release their new studio EP - Live At The Acropolis on Friday, 16th December 2022! Stream it now!

Scraping their way up the stomach to be vomited from the mouth of a pandemic, THE MAYOR (unscathed) has become deadlier, heavier and more powerful than ever as they partnered with Kill Iconic Records (run by Donovan Melero of Hail the Sun – Equalvision Records) to drop their five-song sophomore album, Live at the Acropolis, a post-traumatic follow-up to their previous Grammy submitted (and…

At the end of Iskall's ep he's become fixated on fishing, sees a salmon floating on the water, and then gets a mending book

... and idk why bc that is So Much Less ominous or pointed than half the stuff that's happened, but for some reason that's what made me sure the fishing religion/big salmon stuff is becoming a capital-T Thing. Lore. Plot. Whatever you wanna call it. There's Stories Afoot.

(I don't know how the snail fits into it yet. I'm sure that will become evident in due time)

absolutely adored dead boy detectives but god did it make me miss when we got more than 8 ep long shows like i love what we got and they did the best with the time they were given but there are so many things that could have been explored if the show had more time to breath

independence day, ethel cain

i feel like the unhinged drawfee episodes were the ones where an in-episode bit got so self referential it became funny nonsense. now we're just opening with "bobby hill jablinski"

A handful of my bg designs from the Craig of the Creek ep War of the Pieces.....! Out today on Cartoon Network and tomorrow for streaming on MAX. it’s a long one but a good one!

Ge. What? You're not alone.

Unknown Episode 2

While the original subs say Qian, Yuan is actually saying Ge which means older brother in Mandarin (more info here). In fact, so far, Yuan has only ever addressed Qian as Ge. As @thisonelikesaliens pointed out, when Yuan does switch from Ge to Qian, it'll signify that a significant boundary has been crossed.

been sketchin a bit recently

but didnt get to finish anything properly in the end lol

I agree with a lot of what's been said about the pacing (namely that this already great season could have been even better with an extra beat between eps 5 & 6, and likely another between 7 & 8) but I just want to take a second to remember what a fucking accomplishment this season is.

Like, just off the top of my head: they managed to expand the world-building of the show's pirate universe, add compelling new characters, deepen the central relationship in a genuinely complex and nuanced way with rich character arcs for both, at least suggest at greater complexity and emotional development for many of the background characters, and produce more expansive and technically challenging visuals including some very impressive action and crowd sequences. And they did all that with two fewer episodes, while still maintaining the original tone of the show and keeping run times under 30 minutes apiece.

It's not perfect, and they're not equally successful on all fronts, but it is extremely fucking good, and the fact that it gets anywhere close within those limitations is frankly an astounding artistic achievement

there seems to be far too many fans who can't seem to wrap their head around the fact that no relationship in the Vampire Chronicles is healthy. every relationship includes an element of abuse/power imbalance by normal standards. literally every single one.

they are all monsters who are no longer constrained by societal rules. so I don't think it's too crazy to expect them to do mosntorus things. the genre is Gothic HORROR. the show really prioritizes the HORROR element more so than other adaptaions, which i love.

i don't need louis to be a liar to enjoy lestat. if louis lied or misremebered things about the fight in episode 5, i literally do not care because it's never gonna make me hate louis. the baseline of what constitutes "evil" or "bad" is so different in iwtv because of the fact that they are NOT HUMAN. Claudia is literally a serial killer and she's still mother to me. ykwim?

the nature of vampirism is they have to kill to survive. so it would be really cool if people could accept louis, armand, and claudia as complex characters who are fundamentally not good people (because they aren't people!) without being racist about it. THEY ARE ALL KILLERS

im more interested in this exploration of the complexities of memory and seeing how the show integrates the other books into this story in a way that hasn't been done before than I am in discoursing about whether louis is a liar or not. who gives a shit???? grow up and realize that there are no good guys here and that's OKAY
