LUIGI'S MANSION 3 HEADCANONS
There's a lot of headcanons I have for everyone sosnsjsnsn so enjoy!!!
~~~~~~~
General ghost headcanons
Ghosts don't technically NEED TO eat and sleep, but a lot of them do both anyways because it's a pleasant experience, and a lot of them never stopped those habits after they died.
Ghosts can make themselves solid and transparent as they like; meaning they can make themselves solid to interact with objects and people (like Luigi), but can also make themselves transparent to go through walls, people, etc.
Not all ghosts are people who died - some ghosts are born that way. Portrait Ghosts/Boss Ghosts however ARE people who died.
Ghosts curl their tails together as a sign of affection, akin to holding hands.
Ghosts can change their bodies a little bit, like extending limbs, etc. Some ghosts (like Morty....mostly just him) like to change their tails into legs from time to time!
---------
Hotel Staff
The hotel was functional before the events of the game, and served as a hotel for ghosts. The staffing was the same (i.e. all of the portrait ghosts were there) as well as some of the Goobs and other ghosts working for the hotel.
Even though they're ghosts and don't technically NEED TO rest or anything, the staff still have an end to their work days to sleep and do as they'd like...but they still have to work LONG days.
On the second floor on the left side of the hallway, there's a door that leads to a hallway containing a set of rooms for the hotel staff to stay in, since they all live there.
---------
 Steward
He died in the 1940s at the age of 25, working as a bellboy - he lost control of a trolley of luggage and fell down a flight of stairs, snapped his spine, and was smothered/suffocated under the luggage when it fell on top of him.
He has nightmares sometimes about his death.
He overworks himself to please Hellen because he MUST Be A Good Worker. He does the jobs of at least three people all at once and is constantly moving.
He's very anxious and is prone to having anxiety attacks.....about work and just life in general.
He's trans and gay and is dating Kruller!
---------
 Chambrea
Chambrea was murdered in the 1940s on her way home from work one evening, by an unknown man. She was 36.
She's a HUGE Gossip, and she loves to listen in on people's conversations to get the Tea. She's known to spread rumors and not have all the facts though...so take her gossip with a grain of salt.
She has a HUGE crush on Johnny Deepend. (She's into very toned guys.)
---------
 Kruller
Kruller died in the 1980s at 42 years old, from a heart attack while running around on the job. He had high blood pressure and high cholesterol from poor diet his whole life that led to the heart attack.
He feels much more confident with his sunglasses on.
He wears glasses when he's off the clock. Poor guy can't see without them! His sunglasses are prescription too.
He LOVES board games!
He's really nervous and easily flustered! He tries really hard to be tough, but in the end he can't do it because he's just a really sweet guy.
He falls asleep on the job a lot.
He's Bi and loves his boyfriend Steward!
He's best friends with Morty and DJ Phantasmagloria!
---------
Chef Soulfflé
Soulfflé died in the early 1910s after getting locked in the freezer overnight of the kitchen he worked at. He was 51.
He thinks all of the food he made is Top of the Line, and he WILL get angry if you say otherwise.
---------
 Amadeus Wolfgeist
Amadeus died in the late 1700s from an aneurysm brought on by his temper after a performance. He was 49 years old.
He sleeps in his piano more often than in his room in the hotel. He prefers solitude and doesn't like being around the others. Most of his free time IS spent alone in his theater or dressing room.
He has a BIG sweet tooth and can't resist sweets....especially donuts!
He doesn't like DJ Phantasmagloria's music.
---------
 King MacFrights
Died in the mid 1300s at the age of 41 in battle, when he took a Lance to the chest and was impaled.
He's very sensitive about his height and he will get VERY angry if you comment on it at all.
---------
 Dr. Potter
Died in the late 1970s from old age at 85.
He was a recluse and took care of dozens upon dozens of plants all at once and he loved every one of them dearly.
He sweet talked his plants and would Hum to them softly as he made his way through his gardens.
He names every single one of his plants!
---------
Morty
Morty died in 1972 at 37 years old, when a stage light fell on him after he uttered the word "Macbeth" in the theater. He didn't believe the superstition.
His real name is Mortimer, but he prefers Morty. Don't ever call him Mort he will Kill You (unless You're Kruller. He's the only friend who's allowed to call him that)
Morty was an actor as well as a director when he was alive and performed in theater, plays, musicals, etc as well as on film.
He was fluent in a handful of languages including English, French, and Italian. 
He has a wonderful singing voice and also performed in an opera or two!
After he died Morty continued to haunt the theater he died in for a good decade at least. Mostly he spent his time moping about and crying in the theater, upset over his death.....the locals began to tell stories of the Weeping Ghost that haunted the theater, and his death became a sort of joke - the man who died because of a superstition and now spent his days crying about it. Morty did NOT like that and that just made him ANGRIER.
Eventually he got fed up with that place and in a fit of rage absolutely trashed the place before leaving to find a new place to live, coming upon the Hotel and being given a job there by Hellen.
He's got a big gay crush on Luigi let's be real here guys. They're dating!
He has a fainting couch in the studio that he'll throw himself onto while wailing....he's a big drama king after all!
---------
Ug
Ug was trampled to death and then eaten by a T-rex, around 30 years old.
He doesn't understand anything going on in the rest of the hotel and is prone to destroying everything he sees, so he just stays in the museum.
Thog Ug don't care.
---------
Clem
Clem died in the 1960s due to exposure from the various toxins, diseases, etc. In the sewers where he worked. He was about 28 years old.
He has a rubby ducky collection!
He collects things that people drop down the drains/that end up in the sewers with him, and will bring them back up to be found and collected.
He's dating that weird mop with a face drawn onto it. It's been a steady three year relationship so far.
---------
Serpci
Serpci died around 2000 BC~ at the age of 31, being sacrificed to the Gods. She was the reigning queen at the time, and gave herself up to the Gods for a better afterlife, as well as to help her people flourish.
She's very attentive to how she looks and dresses; a queen such as herself must always look the part, you know.
She's intrigued by all of the new technology and things around the hotel, and enjoys going from floor to floor, learning about it all. Though she does get a bit scared of things like movies, DJ Phantasmagloria's music, etc...
She's a lesbian and is dating DJ Phantasmagloria!
---------
Nikki, Ginny, Lindsey
The triplets died at the age of 12 when a magic trick misfired, and caused the building they were performing in to catch fire and burn to the ground, in the early 1980s.
Ginny is the oldest, Lindsey is the middle child, and Nikki is the youngest.
They like to switch and change hairstyles to confuse others as to which triplet is which!
They think all love and romance and affection between the adults is GROSS!!
The three of them will flock to Chambrea when in need of comfort....the maid is almost like a pseudo-guardian to the three girls, and reminds them of their mom.
---------
Captain Fishhook
Died in the late 1600s during a conflict between his pirate ship, and a band of soldiers. He was shot in the chest and fell overboard, only to be ripped apart by a shark.
The shark however did not survive attempting to eat the captain and died as well.
He very much likes how he looks now and thinks he's a lot more intimidating than he ever was when he was alive!!!
Despite the fact that he thinks and acts like a human, he has an animalistic side as well and sometimes succumbs to those instincts.
---------
Johnny Deepend
He died at the age of 26 around the 1980s, when his swimming trunks got caught on the drain of a pool and he drowned.
He's very cocky and confident about his looks and he loves to show off his muscles.
He's a bit of an asshole......he's just a straight fuck boy, honestly.
He knows Chambrea's head over heels for him, but she isn't his.....type. Not thin or young or pretty enough for him.
---------
DJ Phantasmagloria
She died in the 1970s after overdosing on ecstasy, when she was 29 years old.
She's self conscious of her actual hair and doesn't like it all that much, which is a big reason as to why she wears wigs all the time.
DJ Phantasmagloria is her stage name! When she's not performing, she just goes by Gloria.
She tends to call people "baby" and "sweetheart" as friendly pet names.
She's dating Serpci and is very.....very gay for her gorgeous girlfriend!!
She really enjoys Amadeus' music, even if he doesn't like hers. She understands! She loves listening to him perform.
---------
Hellen Gravely
She killed herself in the 1930s at the age of 43.
She was a model for a period of time before her death. She didn't become the owner of the hotel until she'd already been dead for a few years, but it had been an ambition of hers in her life.
She HATED how she looked as she started to get older, and layered on the makeup to make herself look young and pretty again.

Semi-Live Blogging: Finale Time!
With reaction images this time!
Adoradad
TRAINING EXERCIIISE
Adorabat's practicing her screaming! Bet that's gonna come in handy later.
"Fneh!" Wow what an introduction Eugene
His design is like? Really cool?? He looks practically nothing like Adorabat tho. And why does he have a spade on his stomach instead of a heart??
Badgerclops drew him with a giant ass mustache lol.
Adorabat takes banjo lessons? More importantly, Eugene thought she was at a banjo lesson FOR 8 MONTHS?!
"She scares me" lol
Adorabat ran away from home? Why?
"I thought you were a ward of the state!" Remember when everyone thought Adorabat was an orphan? Yea.
"I thought you were my conscience!" Badgerclops...you've lived with Adorabat for a year...went to her school...AND YOU THOUGHT SHE WAS A PIECE OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS?!
...why did Badgerclops use Adorabat as monster bait...
I expected to hate Eugene but he's actually really cute and interesting?? Aside from the fact he thinks Mao Mao & Badgerclops are criminals. Love to see him again sometime!
Wow her dad has a whole badass mansion!! Why doesn't she just stay there...
Oh...her mom died...that's why he's so protective of her and was so upset when she left. Also her mom looks amazing & I wanna see a flashback episode with her. For some reason I can imagine her sounding like a deeper version of Scoops?
Aww Adorabat's room is super cool! Also Eugene cracking the door for her asfgjkl
"Do you think that monsters attacking the city are gonna - wait, does that have peanut butter in it? " (Cuts to MM & BC eating ice cream while crying) That's a perfectly rational reaction to losing your adoptive daughter
"I can keep it together!" (Cut to Mao Mao trying and failing to shovel ice cream in his mouth with his helmet on) NSADGEDHAMADH
Wait a second. Mao's eating mint chocolate chip ice cream. ISN'T CHOCOLATE TOXIC TO CATS?!
"But you said I was part of the team!!" "Then you're...off the team."
Tumblr media
Adorabat crying while showing Eugene the picture OUCH MY HEART...
"I used to go exploring in those caves with Mom all the time..." I'm guessing those are the caves from the promo?
"She wasn't afraid of anything!" " Well Adorabat definitely takes after her mother...
"And then one day, Sonara didn't come back with you." Ooh her name's Sonara!! Pretty!! I can't tell if they chose it cuz it sounds like Sonar or because it means "pleasant sounding"
Glad to see Adorabat's still a die-hard metal fan, even with Eugene
Oof Mao isn't taking this well at ALL if he's pretending Adorabat's molt is her...
OOH SHIT ADORABAT RAN OFF TO THE CAVES - wait a minute no she didn't. OH NO EUGENE WENT TO THE CAVES
Ooh there's Sonara's looking glass, bet that's gonna be important
Yay Adorabat saved her dad!
Damn Adorabat must be super traumatized after basically watching her mother die. No wonder she tried to murder Boba-Chan!
Oh the only way to stop the monster is by screaming!
(Mao Mao hears Adorabat scream) "ADORABAT?!" ADOPTIVE DAD POWERS ACTIVATE
Ooh her mother's figure appears over her when she says she's not afraid of anyone...maybe her spirit's inside of her or something?
REVENGE TIME BAYBEY
HOLY SHIT ADORABAT FUCKING MURDERED THAT THING
Eugene & Adorabat both apologized to each other I...
Tumblr media
"You can't just leave without the most fearless member of the group!" YAAY ADORABAT'S BACK (Also how are we gonna explain to Eugene Adorabat's scared of the dark?)
"I'll mess 'em up real good! So good, their mommies and daddies won't be able to recognize them when I'm done..." Daaammmnnn...
"She scares me :)"
I wonder...is Sonara really dead? Or are they gonna pull a Kipo & have her still be alive but in a different form?
Badge-A-Fire explosion
Uhh...where is Badgerclops? And why is Mao Mao on the top bunk?!
Of course Badgerclops is petty enough to install a fake monster alarm on his laptop to wake Mao Mao and Adorabat up.
"This is a super-serious work meeting, as you can see by the fact that I haven't provided any snacks!" No snacks?! This must be a serious issue!! /s
"As you know, I am a creative genius. Sometimes there's so much natural creative genius that my brain overloads, and I enter a heightened state that I call 'Ultra Focus'..." Oh so basically like hyperfixation?
"...where I break into a creative sprint, inventing super-advanced technology at supernatural speeds, unparalleled by anyone in the entire field of science." Okay maybe only a LITTLE bit like hyperfixation...wait a second, IS THAT WHY BADGERCLOPS IS SO TIRED ALL THE TIME?!
Uhh did he get his arm stuck in the front door? HE TOOK THE AEROCYCLE?!
"...I forget everything the next morning." Remember my headcanon that Badgerclops represses his memories? Yea...
"Which is why it's not my fault and I don't think I should be criticized :D" TBH I screamed with laughter at this scene solely because of the expression he made
...HE GAVE THE SKY PIRATES THE GEM CELL?! I mean he clearly wasn't thinking right when he did it BUT STILL?!
"Oh hey, I told you I'd use that weird elevator thing!" Dude you LITERALLY used it in Ultraclops. What are you talking about.
"If the Sky Pirates had the Gem Cell, they would've used it already!" That is a fair point ngl.
Umm...did Badgerclops give Adorabat a BOMB?!
Tbh if my friend woke me up in the middle of the night with weird-looking eyes and handed me a timer while saying something about an explosion I would DEFINITELY not go back to sleep afterwards...
I'm sorry, IS THE WHOLE VALLEY GONNA BLOW UP?! WHAT THE HELL DID HE MAKE?!
Mao wiping Badgerclops' tears I'm
Tumblr media
A paper towel dispenser? Well that's not that bad - IS THAT A GIANT PAIR OF PANTS?!
Ooh it's not a shock collar it's a translator!! That makes a bit more sense... "I HAVE NO REMORSE OR CONCEPT OF EMPATHY!" ...if the monster doesn't have remorse or empathy how does it know what those words mean...
Badgerclops keeps telling Mao Mao & Adorabat not to criticize him...hmm...I wonder who criticized his inventions that made him that way...*cough* HIS MOM *cough*
"Are all your inventions this weird?!" "YOU'RE WEIRD!!"
IM SORRY DID BADGERCLOPS BUILD A DANCING MACHINE INTO MAO MAO'S BONES?! HIS BONES?! AND HE MADE ADORABAT A SECOND MEGAPEG?!
What in the absolute hell is going on dgaadhdagdadga
Okay but when Badgerclops clutched his head and started shaking when Mao Mao asked why he made those things...I FELT THAT IN MY HEART I FELT THAT IN MY SOUL
Ngl this scene really hit home for me cuz that's how I act when I have a breakdown...
The timer went off but nothing blew up - WAIT, IS THAT A REPLICA OF MECHA HOSSORAFFASNAKEARANG?!
"Initializing Totally Humane Knockout Procedure." (Proceeds to slam the Sheriff's Dept. into the ground) ajdajdgdad
Ooh...ohh they're on some sort of water park...ride...thing??
"And if I didn't want us to get out, then I made sure we couldn't...with super-strong shoe things." But there isn't any on Adorabat, can't she just squeeze herself out?
Ooh I'm getting Pirates of the Caribbean vibes
There's the Gem Cell, it must be powering the ride! Also the robotic arm slaps Mao's hand the same way Mao slaps Badgerclops' hand in Flyaway skkkk
"My amazing creativity is finally gonna destroy us all..." "Hey, at least we'll be destroyed together!" Fair point, fair point
The shoosh returneth
"I always loved inventing." So he was an inventor ever since he was little? Daww.
YOUNG BC IS SO ADORABLE!! He has a lil medical patch instead of an eyepatch which is def more accurate to real life...but what's the vest for? Protection in case he falls? A pressure stim?
That figure's def his mom since they rejected his ideas & he mentions she was mean to him. Also the theory that his mom's a villain seems a bit stronger since they straight-up hand him a tool kid + a set of blueprints with no regard to his safety...
"Also there was a bunch of other kids at school and some other people throughout my life who mocked me relentlessly." THEN WHY'D YOU TELL ADORABAT YOU COULDN'T RELATE TO HER WHEN SHE SAID NO ONE WANTED TO BE HER FRIEND?! (Also I noticed literally all the kids are other badgers, so I'm assuming Badgerclops grew up sheltered like Mao Mao did.)
So the Ultra Focus is basically a really weird coping mechanism to deal with all the abuse and bullying he went through? Holy fuckkk
"They only made fun of you because they were jealous. Happened to me my whole life!" Umm...
"Even the dance chip I surgically implanted in your brain?" Excuse me the dance chip that you WHAT
"I love you-" HE SAID IT 💗💓💗💓
"I'm finally around people who love and understand me..."
Tumblr media
Wait did the cannon misfire? DID IT BLOW A HOLE IN THE GROUND?!
OH HE ACTUALLY DID CREATE AN ANIMATRONIC BAND?! I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE!!
"Take it away, Boss Hosstritch!" (Distorted garbling)
Oof Mao caught all the water
"We hope you all enjoyed being Badgerclops' friend." 💞💕💞💕
Not that anyone cares but I noticed there's a picture of some of the Sweetypies on the monitors, meaning 1. Badgerclops tested it out using them first, or 2. Badgerclops just likes those Sweetypies for whatever reason. Tho that makes me wonder why he'd choose Pinky of all people...
THE SKY PIRATES WERE INSIDE THE ANIMATRONICS THE WHOLE TIME?! THE MAN BEHIND THE SLAUGHTE
Zing Your Heart Out
Why are they giving out rotten sushi??
"HOW DARE YOU LAUGH AT ME EATING SOMETHING GROSSLY?!"
Ooh god Chester's gonna be super freaking annoying in this episode, I can feel it.
"What's blue and smells like red paint? Blue paint!" BAYBEY
Jesus what a prick. GET HIM MAO MAO
Ngl that background's really pretty...
Oooh no the Ruby Pure Heart's being weird again. Ooh no.
FUCK YEA ROAST HIM BABY - Did Adorabat's eyes turn purple because the Ruby Pure Heart gave her powers?
Oh so the siren in Badgerclops' robo-arm is a backup monster alarm?
More Sky Pirates - and the Pure Heart's being weird again...
"I'd tell you but despite your height it'd go right over your HEAD!" Asdfgghjjk
"For someone with two brains, you're not very BRIGHT!" EVEN BETTER
Kevin said he was raising money for a school trip, then for a trip to the hospital...which one is he raising money for?!
"SILENCE PANCAKE, LEST YE BE BUTTERED"
OOH NO SHE ATTACKED MAO AND BC
"IT FEELS LIKE THE WEIGHT OF ONE THOUSAND PLANETS!!"
"One second, I'm getting mad, and the next thing you know-" Is she freaking possessed??
Wait, is the Pure Heart TALKING to Adorabat?! How?!
Cluckins you don't ask people what's wrong with their eyeballs...even if there is something wrong with their eyeballs
"I CAN'T FEEL MY SELF-RESPECT!!"
The pure 'oh shit' on Marion's face when Adorabat turns to her
Half of the people she insulted showed up to her party! Didn't that mean she loved them?!
Oh god not this bitch again - nvm, thanks Adorabat
"Taking over the castle and ruling Pure Heart Valley forever does sound nice..." This is starting to remind me of that one AU where Adorabat turns evil, becomes the ruler of the Sky Pirates, then convinces them to kill Snugglemagne and becomes the queen of Pure Heart...she isn't gonna kill Snugglemagne, is she?
What did Adorabat tell Snugglemagne?! I WANNA KNO
Why is Pinky stealing teeth...reminds me of this
NO BC DON'T EAT THE TEETH
"I...hate myself! Therefore, I'm invincible!" So the trick to not getting your ego destroyed...is to not have an ego. Sounds reasonable.
"Your bug platter, my king?" Genderfluid Adorabat rights
"Mao Mao, your head looks like a CROW!" (Mao Mao caws) IT WAS A LIE HE ISN'T A CAT HE WAS A CROW THIS WHOLE TIME-
"It looks like a half-melted ice cream cone!!" That is...a strange way to describe your own neck...
"Well, I'm...bad (◡‿◡)" Kinda weird that the canonically depressed character can't even cleverly insult himself
...why does Adorabat's skin smell like old cantaloupe
OH SHE IS POSSESSED!!
HOLY SHIT MAO WAS GONNA FUCKING MURDER ADORABAT TO SAVE THE KINGDOM?! THANK GOD HE SAW HER JOKE BOOK, HOLY SHIT
Positivity outweighs negativity!
"WHERE DOES A 800 POUND GORILLA SIT?!" "Where ever it wants!◝(⁰▿⁰)◜" Curse you for making me laugh...
OOH NO THE JOKEBOOK! - Wait nvm Mao remembers Adorabat's jokes!
I think the reason they used that joke is because it represents Mao Mao and Adorabat - Adorabat is blue, and she wants to be like Mao Mao, who wears red. What is BLUE, and smells like (is similar to) RED paint?
YAAAY HE BROKE HER FREE FROM MIND CONTROL!! And did BC get Thanos snapped in the background?
"Thank goodness you're alright! We almost..." Fucking murdered you? Yea
"Might we have our crown and kingdom back, yes?"
"Sorry for being such a monster today." "You're a monster everyday." Is that a joke because she was today's villain, a reference to Sleeper Sofa or foreshadowing?
I hope Mao Mao and Badgerclops decide to investigate what's up with the Heart in Season Two, cause I highly doubt they'll let Adorabat getting fucking possessed go under the radar.
The visual gag of Mao trying to stomp out his ice cream cone like a cigarette is perfect. This is peak comedy everyone else go home
WHOOP CHESTER'S ASS GUYS
Strange Bedfellows
"So, your name is Boss Hosstrich, but you're not actually the boss?" How long did it take him to realize that
JFC Mao & Orangusnake are REALLY hellbent on killing each other huh...at least the deputies and the other Sky Pirates have common sense.
Hahaha nice Dragon Ball Z reference - and they both got crushed by the monster! Lovely.
...did Mao seriously think he died and went to heaven?
So does Orangusnake breathe through Tanner or do they both breathe independently & Coby can feel when Tanner can't?
Dang those skeletons remind me of the Steven Universe Future episode Growing Pains. And why is Lucky inside of Orangusnake? "THAT WAS MY LUNCH, JERK!" Ooh that's why.
"They're full of these tiny, little cracks or, as they're known in the medical field, 'whoopsie-boo-boos'." AGSADGASGADGDASG
Damn their skeletons are just gonna freaking evaporate huh...
"The doctor said I was very brave :D"
Ooh shit the Deputies and the other Sky Pirates met at the same elevator, are they gonna fight - nevermind, they're still calling time.
JESUS CHRIST ARE MAO & ORANGUSNAKE EVER GONNA STOP?!
"You don't have the guts!" "I have a million guts." That is...mildly concerning
"Yeah, I wanted to be a baker, before I realized I liked hurting people so much." Then why doesn't she just like, help Muffins or something?
Tbh I thought Ratarang was holding a gun and I'm glad it was just a weirdly wrapped banana
CONE OF SHAME. CONE OF SHAME. CONE OF SHAME.
"Aww, y'all shouldn't have - this is empty." "Just like my heart when you injure yourself!!" He loves him sm...💓💓
"Why didn't you bring me weapons?!" "Because this is a hospital, and I'm a good boy (◡‿◡ )"
"I really feel like this could be a turning point in their relationship." (Mao and Orangusnake proceed to try and kill each other again) *sigh*
Ngl Mao & Orangusnake constantly repeating themselves is getting super annoying.
That hospital bed beeping is giving me flashbacks to all the times I went to the hospital for seizures...
"You know y'all could live like this, like, all the time if you didn't go around hurting people, right?" "Pssh! Tsk-tsk, boy. You know I gots to hurt people." Uhh you guys should really listen to Badgerclops he knows what tf he's talking about
UUhh, whose egg is that? "MAMA" ASGagddahDh
Of course they had to land in freaking CEMENT to realize that maybe they shouldn't kill each other
Did Mao just deflate like a ballo- oh nvm there he go.
Boneless Mao. Boneless Mao.
And Mao saved Orangusnake!! By...breaking every bone in his body somehow.
"I'm the kind of hero who wants to save you so I can fight you later...at the right time and place." Just gonna file this along with the credit score scene from Perfect Couple in the 'Orangumao' folder.
Is Badgerclops duct taping Mao to the stretcher? I mean, at least he won't move & hurt himself again but geez
Tbh Zing would’ve made a better finale than this ep. At least it had a sequel hook

bandage- patch them up when they get hurt.
nonverbal starters.
Tumblr media
             ‘ ow– ’ the slight discomfort rings a sound from the swordsman and a shift in his position. the disinfect tends to be the most painful process of bandaging up; it’s something he’s meant to be used to at this point and his durability did stand better, but over a gash that has taken quite a piece off his right leg, the sinking of alcohol by the second would eventually draw a pained sound and out it came. an eye glances to robin and he notes the apologetic smile with a small nod before she starts to wipe the abscess liquid off. 
        oftentimes, the swordsman comes in at the hands of the tiny doctor, pestering and lecturing him the same things with each future scar he has to show; bandaging with a gentle touch but a rough and consistent lecturing voice that zoro listens to, then blows off once he’s out the door. there are bits in time during his stay where the doctor has to tend to those who are in immediate need of it and zoro can acknowledge that. with the reckless captain of theirs who receives hundreds of cuts scattered through his body and tough burns on the daily and quite normally left in a state where moving is even difficult, and then a cook who knows no bounds with that leg of his as well. with time and a repetitious usage of it, the injury becomes less focused on the lower half of his body though and starts to become more spread out. 
         the rest of the crew has their fits. hand blisters from gripping the clima-tact for too long, a misfire of their own projectiles, and the doctor fights too. as a doctor, chopper knows his limits well, but the will of a pirate is in him too. they’ve been out sea for a while now and it’s inevitable there’d be a point where all of them would drag their worn out bodies back to the sunny, laying against the deck with a muscle aching just from moving an inch. at times like those, they keep to make sure they’re not in something life-threatening before heeding the doctor for directions or to tend him first. 
          having just returned from a battle where the injuries were much more minimal than the standard except for the large cut that made its way to his leg ( much to his dismay ) and as per the usual, luffy gets his fair share of injuries. zoro decided to save chopper the trouble and dragged himself to the sick bay for a change. unexpectedly, he finds robin, already discovering a box of band-aids which he can only suspect to be meant for those who received bits of scrapes.
           a conversation blooms from the sights of one another and there’s an offer to help zoro start the process of fixing his injury. 
                             he had no reason to decline –
            and it leads to now, where his leg is burning and itchy, but zoro can tell robin has no intentions of bringing any further pain if she could help it. their conversation rests in silence, comfortably and quietly.

OTHER MUSIC THOUGHTS FROM THE ZIBLIOTHEK
I’ve spent a chunk of the year immersing myself in the Zibliothek, and basically started at the beginning of the alphabet and began listening to every LP in order. I’ve also been documenting the LP library and other aspects of the collection on Instagram. It’s something I’ll continue doing. Between Jan 2021 Jan 2022 I was able to get from the Beatles to the Byrds.
Assorted thoughts so far on some of the collection:
The Beatles: Brilliant. Interesting how jarring some of the USA mixes and artwork are. The cash-in releases from other entities are ludicrous.
Shirley Bassey: Legend.
The Bee Gees: Brilliant youths; great writers; wish they stopped singing after 1970.
George Benson: Great player, but I don’t enjoy the music.
Brook Benton: Great times.
Black Sabbath: Inconsistent. Some great moments. Some awful album art.
Bloomfield, Kooper, Stills Super Session: Still don’t get what the fuss is about.
Blondie: Solid jams.
Gary U.S. Bonds: His 1980s LPs are winners, which is odd for a 1960s singer.
The Boomtown Rats: Didn’t do much for me.
Pat Boone: Has more decent songs and recordings than he deserves.
Victor Borge: Legend. Legend. Legend.
Boston: The albums sound great, and that debut is still nearly flawless.
David Bowie: Lots of great stuff, but a lot of misfires too.
Arthur Brown: Fun.
Mel Brooks: The soundtrack albums which contain large portions of dialogue from their films are a terrible format, even when I enjoy the content. Not sure why this format took off. Great music when there’s music.
Bill Bruford: Surprisingly unenjoyable albums given the personnel.
The Buckinghams: Solid pop band.
Buffalo Springfield: Another solid listen.
Buggles: Better than I remembered.
The Byrds: I’ve always struggled with how the Byrds often have great songs with interesting vocal parts, but such weak voices. They never sound in control of their own material, but sometimes still made it work in the studio. Hopeless live, though.

BOOKS IN 2021
I go through phases with reading. Sometimes I really want to read, other times I don’t at all. It’s difficult to find motivation to do much of anything these days - let alone more. Everyone’s burned out, exhausted, and anxious. It’s hard to enjoy settling down with a new book under those conditions.
My schedule was so unpredictable in 2021 that i rarely had downtime to read. When I did, I read The Hobbit to my daughter, which was the first time I’ve read it in years. Still a great book, but not the best for bedtime due to the long chapters. For my own reading, I managed to finish John Le Carre’s Looking Glass War. I also started reading Caleb Williams by William Godwin, but it isn't keeping my attention and I’m unlikely to spend effort reading further.

FILMS IN 2021
Barely watched any films this year, let alone 2021 releases. As I had in 2020, I watched the John Le Carre BBC Smiley series - this time with my wife. I had hoped to compare the Gary Oldman remake of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy which I saw years ago, but I couldn’t find a copy for a long time and eventually ordered the DVD. I also ordered a copy of No Time To Die, because there was no way I’d go to a cinema in this mess. Haven’t had a chance to watch either of them yet.
The missus and I also started watching the 1970s Soviet mini-series Seventeen Moments In Spring, but only finished up to part 3 before getting sidetracked. Looking forward to resuming that someday.

FOOD IN 2021
More heartbreak. No dine-in eating of any kind at any restaurants since March 2020. It’s been hard to find ways/means to support everyone we’d like to support, and even our favourite takeaways get tiresome after two years. We continue doing what we can.
All I can say is what I’ve said already: if you want your favourite restaurant(s) to survive, support them relentlessly whenever you can. Otherwise they won’t survive. We love Phobulous; Numchok Willai; Taste of Ukraine; Saratoga; Famoso; Seoul Fried Chicken; Blue Chair Cafe, and recommend any of them to the undecided.
Best meal: Home cooked.
Worst meal: Don’t remember.
Ate too much: Junk food
Ate too little: Eggs Benedict, pho, borshch
I didn’t have a single hot dog in 2021.

RANDOM OTHER CLOSING THOUGHTS ON 2021
My 2020 CKUA program Roundabout ended in February. I started a new weekly program in March called In Our Neighbourhood focusing on Albertan artists, and later in the year became the regular host of Saturday Night Surprise after several months of rotating hosts. The regular work has been good for several reasons - not least because earning a living as a performing musician hasn’t been possible.
I also wrote and produced a four-part music-documentary series for CKUA about the life and work of Frank Zappa called OZ ON FZ. Despite Zappa's reputation, it's likely the most-popular program I've produced for CKUA to date. It is not currently available on-demand or to stream, and I don't know if/when it will be rebroadcast again, but I hope it will get another airing at an earlier hour sometime during 2022 for those who missed it in 2021.
Not counting the early revolving-door SNS episodes or other special programs, I’ve also hosted (for me) a record number of fill-in shows in 2021 - 96 if my count was correct.
Live music. No idea what this will resemble in the future, or when it will return. I only performed one concert in 2021: Pepperland - live at Rock ‘N August. The only reasons I was willing to consider participating was because the music was only a sideshow to a larger event that would have happened with or without a band, and it was outdoors in the summer during the pandemic lull when folks were beginning to be twice vaccinated against COVID. I've refused other offers to perform indoors until it's safe to resume.
My collaboration with NME on The No Normal podcast series continued. Season 1 ended in the summer 2021, and we’re awaiting the start of Season 2 in 2022. You can stream the podcasts on my Soundcloud page.
In most ways this year was abysmal, crushing, and dispiriting. Most ways, but not all. Hopeful moments have been outnumbered by catastrophic ones. Persist regardless.
Humanity continues the tug-of-war contest between the inspiring and the disappointing. A lot of people have exposed themselves as awful.
Strive for safety. Be kind to those who warrant kindness. Think critically. Listen to real science and real scientists. Regardless what elected officials or spokespeople tell you, continue taking precautions and don’t behave frivolously - it’s just too risky to do otherwise.
I hope we survive this madness, this sickness, and the stupidity that takes it all so lightly.
