Camera Shy
Nathan Explosion X Fem | Reader Summary: The paparazzi show up while (Y/n) and Dethklok hang out in public. (Y/n) gets upset from all the attention and cameras.
_________________________________
Tumblr media
"Maybe they have a local speciality?" (Y/n) wonders out loud, scratching her chin thoughtfully, while imagining what brutal coffee flavours they could have. (Y/n) and the band Dethklok Stroll down the street to check out a recent Duncan Hills coffee shop that has opened in this area.
"Don't get your hopes up (Y/n), most of the Duncan hills are all the fucking same." Pickles.
(Y/n) glares at Pickles and crosses her arms.
"Thanks, Pickles, you ruined my whole day." (Y/n) playfully complains and pushes the drummer's shoulder lightly. Pickles laughs in return. The group resumes their stroll from the Dethbus to the opening of a new Duncan Hills.
"how about blood-orange flavour?" (Y/n) wonders out loud. That catches Nathan's attention.
"That sounds brutal." He growls a remark. Cause (Y/n) to look at him and grin. It's one of those smiles that he didn't really mind this time.
~~~~
The group arrived at the opening of the new coffee shop, and Murderface came up with the incredible idea of cutting the ribbon with a chainsaw. Well, it did cut the ribbon but Murderface lost control of the machine and it flew into the crowd, killing two people...
"see? I fuckin' told ya so. Same shit at always." Pickles says in a smug tone. Murderface shakes his head after looking at the shop's menus. "dischappointing..." He hisses dramatically. "hyuuh..." Skwisgaar adds.
(Y/n) deflates in disappointment. She has truly hoped there would be something new that Duncan Hills could offer in a new shop, "Aww that's a shame." She huffs.
" if ya got any ideas for this, maybe tell Offdensen about them," Nathan says to (Y/n). This (Y/n) causes it to perk up a bit. They turn to Nathan with an even brighter smile than before.
"yeah! Maybe I should. I had a couple of merchandise ideas that could make millions!" (Y/n) smirks as she thinks about their million-dollar ideas.
Nathan raises an eyebrow at (Y/n) in curiosity.
"Yeah? Like what?" (Y/n) is about to speak up, but they got cut off by a person outside of the group.
"There they are!!" A loud voice from outside. "What was that?" Toki asks anyone who listens.
The group walks out of the shop. Where they are immediately greeted by a horde of paparazzi and fans. "Fucks..." Skwisgaar groans in annoyance. "They found us again..." Pickles sighs, rolling his eyes. (Y/n) freezes as the loud crowd gets closer.
"Who's that woman with them?" They can hear someone from the crowd. "Do they mean (Y/n)?" Nathan wonders, taking a glance at the person in question.
Cameras start flashing, blinding (Y/n) immediately, she raises her arms to block the light hopefully. She flinches at every camera click, mixed with the inability to see properly causes her to get quite nervous. This isn't really about social anxiety, anyone would feel quite overwhelmed when hundreds of cameras are being pointed in their face, wouldn't they?
(Y/n) should have known better to be honest. If the paparazzi made her so uncomfortable, most likely shouldn't have been hanging out with these worldwide stars.
The flashing lights start to make her dizzy. She completely shields her eyes by putting her face in her hands and moving closer to the person she stands next to: Nathan.
"(Y/n)?" He calls out her name but she doesn't respond. Nathan didn't like what the paparazzi were doing to his friend. His expression sinks into an even deeper scowl than before. He steps in front of (Y/n), shielding her from the camera flashes.
One person dares to get close. "Excuse me, may I ask for your name?" an interviewer tries to reach (Y/n). "Fuck off." Nathan threatens, pushing the man back hard, causing him to stumble back.
The paparazzi look shocked and even slightly offended. "Nothing wrong with asking for her name?" he shrugs and tries to get closer to (Y/n) again. Pickles steps in as well, looking as equally annoyed as Nathan does.
"ey, ya heard 'im. Fuck off." the drummer pushes the man back also.
Pickles and Nathan glance back at (Y/n), then turn back to each other. "We gotta get her outta here." Pickles suggests and Nathan agrees with a swift nod. Without saying anything, Nathan grabs (Y/n) by her waist with both hands and hoists her over his right shoulder, causing her to yelp in surprise and then he runs away in the direction of where the dethbus is parked. the rest of the band follows right after Nathan and (Y/n). Paparazzi following quite far behind.
The group finally reach the bus and once the cameramen are in view of the klokateers, they take their rifles and shoot a few people who dare to touch the bus, then the vehicle races off and leaves a thick cloud of diesel smog in its wake.
~~At Mordhaus~~
"Ams yous okay (Y/n)?" Toki places a hand on (Y/n)'s shoulder to console her. She remains seated, rubbing her temples to nurse a headache that was caused by the flashes of light from the cameras "What are you doings (Y/n)? This is nots a big deals." Skwisgaar scoffs, unable to see what the big deal is. Toki elbows the Swede in the stomach. Skwisgaar gasps then coughs in pain and holds his side where the rhythm guitarist hit him. "What's the fucks ams the matters with you." Toki sneers at Skwisgaar. The lead guitarist doesn't answer, mostly out of embarrassment and just rolls his eyes.
(Y/n) remains in her seat, silently as she regains her composure bit by bit. Skwisgaar looks at her and shakes his head slowly, while still strumming his guitar. "it's not that big ofs a deals (Y/n). Gets over yourselves." He says.
Nathan, who is sitting next to (Y/n) with his hand on her shoulder, scowls at the lead guitarist.
"(Y/n) is not used to Skwisgaar. So shut the fuck up." the singer threatens with a sharp tone. The guitarist is slightly taken aback for a moment but then huffs loudly.
"Whatevers." Skwisgaar mumbles and stands up from his seat to go to his room most likely.
"Asshole..." Nathan mutters to himself as he watches Skwisgaar leave the room in quite a hurry.
(Y/n) sighs deeply, catching Nathan's attention once again. "sorry I..." (Y/n) runs their hands through her hair.
"I'm not very fond of flashing lights and stuff..." She mumbles and continues to fidget with the strands of her hair.
The singer merely grunts in response. "still." Nathan begins. (Y/n) lifts her head from her hands, meeting the singer's forest green eyes. His gaze holds that usual sharpness, but there is something behind them that (Y/n) cannot place quite well.
"If you wanna continue to hang out with us. You gotta get used to some of these things. The world ain't no place for softies." Nathan says with honesty, and he is right. This world is harsh and will not bend backwards for anybody.
"Yeah... I know." (Y/n) sighs. "I'll work on it." She offers Nathan a determined smile. The singer smirks back.
"Good." He remarks, seemingly satisfied with (Y/n)'s answer.
~~~~
Nathan was indeed right, which still manages to surprise (Y/n) to this very day. Ever since (Y/n) had hung out with Dethklok in public, she got approached on the streets by people whenever she went out to run some errands or to go for a simple walk that turned into an interview every time. The attention is interesting to put it lightly, although some people were not as respectful as others.
(Y/n) indeed got some... Unfriendly messages on social media by hardcore fans. More often than not, it was fangirls being jealous. Which (Y/n) could be understood in some way. But to tell someone to die over it? Not that much...
Luckily, Offdensen knows how much (Y/n) means to the band as a friend, and is willing to give her protection if she requests it.
(Y/n) appreciates his thoughtfulness, but she is a stubborn one and believes that she'll be fine.
~~~~
"I don't understand why you guys wanna watch me do groceries." Dethklok had decided it would be fun to stalk (Y/n) while she went out to run her weekly errands and groceries. The band is closely following behind her as they look around the store...
"to get in touch with our roots. This is the uh, safest way." Nathan explains the rest of the band agrees with nods and grunts.
"Glad we don't have to do thisch schit ourschelvesch anymore, thisch isch scho lame," Murderface complains with an overdramatic sigh of boredom, causing (Y/n) to glare at him. This weekly chore is already normalized in her routine and she can't help but occasionally envy the band's wealth. "Well, it's necessary for me. I need my stuff to survive." (Y/n) argues back. taking a pack of toilet paper from the rack to put in her shopping cart.
"Cans we gets this, (Y/n)?" Toki returns to the group after being separated from them for a brief moment, holding up a bag of marshmallows that he found in the aisles of the store, doing his best puppy-dog eyes at (Y/n).
(Y/n) squints at him. "No! These are my fucking groceries. Put it back!" Toki pouts but does as he's told and walks away to put it back where he found it. "I thought yous didn't likes hanging out with us, (Y/n)?" Skwisgaar wonders out loud. "I didn't like the paparazzi, but I've gotten a little used to it by now, a bit more than before at least." (Y/n) shrugs, grabbing another article from another shelf.
"Aww..." That was all the guitarist had to say in response. Toki joined the group again once they reached the register so (Y/n) could pay for her groceries.
"I got it." Nathan steps beside (Y/n) and pays for all of her groceries. "Oh c'mon Nathan I work for a reason." (Y/n) defends once she receives the receipt. " Your income is nothing compared to mine,(Y/n)." Nathan responds and carries one of the grocery bags to help her out, (Y/n) carries two more bags. (Y/n) can't argue with his income, so just drops it. "Thanks." She replies and turns a little pink in her face. "Don't mention it," Nathan grunts in response. Pickles and Skwisgaar watch the two friends interact. Then they turn to each other and share a knowing look.
The group returns to the parking lot of the grocery store towards (Y/n)'s car. And Nathan helps them load the groceries in the car. "You're so nice today Nathan. Or is it just (Y/n) that gets special treatment." Pickles snickers, Skwisgaar and Toki follow with small chuckles, sounding like gossiping schoolgirls.
Nathan looks over his shoulder at his friend, the pink on his cheeks turning darker and the sharpening glare in his eyes that already says everything that his bandmates need to know.
Of course, (Y/n) heard that too. Not knowing how to react, she just decides to ignore the drummer's comment. She is not really in the mood to deal with that right now. "There." (Y/n) closes the trunk of the car that's now loaded up with her groceries.
"Well, it was fun with you guys but I gotta go home now." (Y/n) says while digging into her pocket for her keys.
"it'sch about time we go home too, I'm schoooo bored." Murderface suggests with a grumble, Toki nods in agreement. "Yeah, theres ams somes model I wants to finish." He adds.
"well then, I'll see you guys later." (Y/n) waves goodbye and enters her car. "see ya!" (Y/n) races off in an instant, nearly running over a small child and a mother.
"sooo, Nathan. Where are ya gonna ask her out or what?" Pickles teases Nathan and nudges him in his arms. Nathan glances at the drummer.
"I will kill you when we get home." Nathan threatens
"no you won't!" Pickles cackles.
_______________________________ I got the update on this one as well. I thought my old writing didn't make much sense of missing context. Not to mention some grammatical fixes.
Thanks for reading -Smilex

here's the full text of the 2006 pre-tv premier IGN interview with dethklok as it's now only available on wayback machine
.
Premiering Sunday, Aug. 6 at 11:45pm ET/PT on Adult Swim is Metalocalypse, a new animated comedy series from Tommy Blacha (Da Ali G Show) and Brendon Small (Home Movies).
Metalocalypse follows the on- and off-stage adventures of Dethklok, the world's most popular and heaviest heavy metal band. The band is so popular that thousands of fans will travel to a remote area of Scandinavia to hear them perform a single song: a jingle for a coffee company. So popular that these fans will sign "pain waivers" in case anything truly horrible happens to them at a show, which invariably occurs. The band members are also incredibly selfish and stupid, and they create a wave of mayhem, death and destruction wherever they go.
The members of Dethklok are:
Nathan Explosion - Vocalist. The lyrical visionary of Dethklok. Skwisgaar Skwigelf - Guitar. From Sweden. Fastest guitar player alive. Toki Wartooth - Guitar. From Norway. Second-fastest guitar player alive. William Murderface - Bass. No one in the world is full of more hatred than him. And he hates no one more than he hates himself. Pickles - Drummer. Raised in the Midwest, he became the world's most celebrated drummer after fronting L.A. rock band Snakes and Barrels.
The five Dethklok members recently sat down with the press to discuss their music, their influences, and the band. Below are their responses, followed by the pain waiver they require all Dethklok concert-goers to sign.
Tumblr media
Q: First, let's start with the persistent rumors that Dethklok has signed a contract with the devil. Can you finally put this to rest?
William Murderface: I'll put you to rest.
Toki Wartooth: The devil is dildoes.
Nathan Explosion: There is no such thing as the devil because there has to be a god in order for there to be a devil. And we all know there is no god. And if there were a GOD then he would have protected us from signing that deal with the devil. And now we're stuck with a deal with some guy who doesn't even exist.
Q: If Dethklok is the heaviest band in the world, and also the most popular band in the world, what does that say about the world?
William Murderface: I'd like to destroy world hunger by destroying the world.
Toki Wartooth: I love questions, and dats a good one.
Skwisgaar Skwigelf: It means nothing because, heavy or not, the world is a black vortex of black Nothingness and I hate our audience.
Q: The band has both the world's fastest and second-fastest guitarists alive in it. Is that a bit of overkill?
William Murderface: I'll overkill you.
Toki Wartooth: No, it's "underlive." Ha ha.
Skwisgaar Skwigelf: Not at all. As the fastest guitarist, I prefer to have someone a little worse at guitar in the band, like Toki. Because I think you would takes it for granted that I am the best. Like you get used to a room filled with the smell of roses until you go into a room with a rotting corpse smell - then you go back to the roses room and extra appreciates it a greats degrees better.
Q: Is it too loud, or am I too old?
William Murderface: I'm too fat.
Toki Wartooth: You gots hairs in your ears.
Pickles: It is loud. It's very loud. Before each show I have liquid concrete poured into my ears so that I don't cause permanent damage. You gotta protect your ears, anyone will tell you that. But what they don't tell you is that you should protect other parts of your body from loudness - for example, we now have to travel with a gastroenterologist.
Q: Nathan, you have a distinctive vocal style. What do you do to take care of your voice and still fill it with anger and hate?
William Murderface: I'm not Nathan.
Nathan Explosion: Two words: Potato chips and chocolate milk. I can go for days smoking and drinking and killing myself staying awake, but have a glass of chocolate milk and a handful of potato chips and I'm good to go.
Q: What's heavier - your music or your lyrics?
William Murderface: The lyrsmusic…shut up!
Toki Wartooth: Oooh, good question, it's like a two-parter.
Pickles: We had them professionally weighed recently and the difference is fractional. But the lyrics actually were heavier. The one lyric that tipped the scales was "I have a hate horse torso whose face is a Corpse/ Lacerated innards and a ding dong doodily dorpse." Now that's heavy.
Q: What kind of gear do you use?
William Murderface: Krank amps and Gibson guitars.
Toki Wartooth: Gibson guitars and Krank amps, but Krank won't give us no hoodies.
Skwisgaar Skwigelf: Gibson guitars. I stick with my Explorer and Toki usually plays a V, Krank amps- right now I'm using the KRANKENSTIEN, Line 6 pedals, Digidesign plug ins. We gots endorsement deals with alls of them. We can wrecks dem all- they just give us more.
Q: What are your influences - musical and otherwise?
William Murderface: Those awesome medical shows about really fat people and tumors.
Toki Wartooth: Depression and wind.
Skwisgaar Skwigelf: My influences is my parent. I hates her beyond beliefs.
Nathan Explosion: I'd have to say I've influenced myself a lot. I listen to myself on records sometimes and think, "I could do that..."
Pickles: The sound of drums influences me. I say that I think because I am a drummer. And cymbals.
Q: What will it take for Dethklok to "sell out"?
William Murderface: We sell out every night, dildo.
Toki Wartooth: We sells out every night.
Nathan Explosion: Selling out is a point of view thing. I've redefined my word definitions of "selling out." I call it making things "more metal," and now it's impossible to sell out. We don't sell out at all. And we never will. I dare you to try. Seriously. Offer us any amount of money. And we'll take it. And we'll make it "MORE METAL."
Tumblr media
Q: Death and mayhem seem to follow the band. Unlucky or cursed? Does it affect your music?
William Murderface: Lucky!
Toki Wartooth: Dat's life, deals with it.
Pickles: Death happens whether or not we are there. Though there does seem to be a little more when we are around. That's why we have the audience sign "Pain Waivers" to get into our show. It basically states that the audience is signing their life away should something horrible and "death-inducing" happen during one of our shows. And we can't be sued. Pretty smart!
Q: What is life on the road like for Dethklok? Do you prefer the seclusion of the studio to the adoration of thousands?
Toki Wartooth: Thousands?! You mean billions!
Skwisgaar Skwigelf: The way I looks at it is that you can't f**k studio gear. Well, you can. But it's better to be on the road and f**k things there - there are more options and shapes.
Q: What inspires Dethklok?
William Murderface: A flower with its brains blown out.
Toki Wartooth: Everything must die.
Nathan Explosion: For me, it's humor. The fact that we are rich and that we will die eventually. See, that's kind of funny to me.
Q: Any thought about solo projects? What does Dethklok do to relax?
William Murderface: My solo project is called Planet Piss. Like it or not, who gives a piss?
Toki Wartooth: I likes to answer questions and build models.
Skwisgaar Skwigelf: We relax with alcohol and Drug Buckets. And everybody's working on solo stuff always. That's cool. I'm in a Harry Potter tribute band called "10 Points to Gryffyndor." Also, I'm in a nudist Civil War styled band called "Depantsification Proclamation."
Q: Is Dethklok's music art?
William Murderface: When it's painted on your face.
Toki Wartooth: We gots an album cover of a Mona Lisa with blood.
Skwisgaar Skwigelf: Art is stupid. There is only food and death. So to answer your question: our music is both food and death.
Q: Much is made about Dethklok's penchant for pain and metal. But what about the groupies? Are there special ladies in the lives of Dethklok?
William Murderface: You mean like retarded?
Toki Wartooth: I don't wears no penchant.
Skwisgaar Skwigelf: I have no recollection of most of the women that I've slept with except for the paternity suits, which are null simply because they must sign a "fatherhood waiver," before a screw.

when you dive into nathan's relationship with oral sex, it's actually really interesting.
throughout the entire series, he shows an obvious liking to blowjobs- wayy way more than the rest of the band. he mentions it all the time, most of the interactions he has with groupies are him getting blowjobs, he even works it into multiple songs in doomstar requiem. it's nothing crazy for him, just normal. he just really likes getting head.
but then you turn to s4ep9, where basically his whole plot for the episode is that the mere thought of eating a girl out makes him unbelievably grossed and freaked out.
it's so interesting because nathan is, from the outside, the most emotionless and brutal member of the band. but when you see him from a personal viewpoint, he shows probably the most wanting for a deep emotional relationship than anyone out of the band. even in s4ep6 in the quick blurb that shows the whole band jacking off, nathan's the one who shows the most emotion in this scene. he craves the emotional intimacy to go along with the physical intimacy, as the show goes on he's more starved for that emotional deepness and romance- i mean, he's the only member of the band that's shown having multiple actual girlfriends.
my take on nathan's love of blowjobs is that he's not in control.
all the groupies and fans want nathan to do something to them, all the dethklok songs are about what nathan would do, how brutal he is and the metal and gory things in these songs, it's always him doing them. even in the thunderhorse music video (show version) it's nathan that is on the horse and is killing the other members, nathan that kills skwisgaar and takes the woman he was sleeping with as his own. it's always what nathan'd do, even with the song of salvation. nathan is always looked to, nathan is always THE ONE, again and again without fail.
and with getting a blowjob, nathan's not doing anything. the control has left his hands for once in his life and he can just lean back and let it happen to him. he doesn't have to do anything, he finally isn't the one making the decisions, leading the operation. somebody else is taking the reins of not just the situation, but nathan himself- somebody else is taking control of nathan's body and his pleasure, and i think he gets off to that in a literal sense yes, but also the fact that he isn't in control feeds into his need for emotional intimacy. nathan craves a relationship that goes both ways, and when he's getting head, it's finally not just him giving. finally not nathan giving it all and macho metaling it up. for this short (or long) amount of time, he can hand over the wheel and hope, or pretend, that this is something that will be more, that this is something that can be given both ways.
and i also think he's scared.
and i also also think he just really gets off to tongue mouth tongue tongue around.

Since I was mentioning how much I love the song, I wanted to do a mini-dissection of "Could This Be The End" from Brendon Small's Galaktikon II! I know there are some different interpretations of the lyrics and perspectives of who's singing what, so I'm throwing mine into the arena!
Key:
Salacia/The Tribunal in green
Dethklok in red
The Storm/The Army of the Doomstar in Orange
Narrator/Muse/Third Person in blue
Thoughts in italics
(NOTE: This dissection inherently relies on Galaktikon II being a continuation of Metalocalypse. I know it's "not" [wink wink] because of all the AS shit that happened in the 2010s but like... let's be real. This is Metalocalypse.)
We got The Storm* coming in now
And they’re almost in range
And we’re cloaked in white silence
In the valley of the Falcon’s rage**
[This one is from the perspective of the Tribunal/Salacia, lying in wait in the arctic snow with Falconback. It’s likely they already have Dethklok captured and strapped into Falconback by this point.
* “The Storm” here refers to The Army of the Doomstar (the fans) as indicated in G2’s version of the call-to-action “Song of Salvation” equivalent, “Become the Storm”, and as sung from the perspective of The Whale Prophet/Goddess in “The Ocean Galaktik” in which she says they are the elements (rain, stardust, etc.)
** I believe the lyrics on Genius have this listed as “range”, but I don’t think Brendon rhymed “range” with “range”. I just don’t. Fight me if you want, but Genius is just wrong.]
(But we wait)
Gotta wait for the first wave
(Breach the gate)
And you can see the Storm is closer now
(Thunder blast)
It’s a lightning infestation
(Light the match)
And we’ll kick ‘em where they stand
[This one is a back and forth between Salacia’s minions (in parentheses) and Salacia giving them orders – he’s using his very classic “we must wait” line here! At the end of this section, with the “light the match” line, that’s probably where Falconback is started up.]
Could this be the end?
Time is terminated
Could this be the end?
[This one is Dethklok, likely beginning to feel the fear as Falconback is whirring to life with them in it. They’re out of time.]
 
(Punch the code)
Now we get the Falcon flying now
(Lock and load)
The Star is getting nearer
(Spin the wheel)
It’s a coffin for them all
(Make them kneel)
Submit or begone!
[Another back and forth between Salacia and his minions. The Doomstar is reaching its zenith and Falconback is really starting to centrifuge!]
Whoa-oh-oh-whoa
(Whoa Whoa-oa-oa)
[Dethklok, now REALLY getting scared, almost mournful. Specifically, I think this is Skwisgaar and Toki. Their vocals layered is similar to how their guitar tracks are layered.]
I can’t see you
I can’t break through
Surprise – me too
It’s down to you
[Still Dethklok – they’re trying to break free of Falconback, but no luck. I believe each of these lines is being sung by different band members. I have SUPER loose reasoning, and this is more what’s in my heart than being from any real evidence in the song, but here we go:
- I can’t see you (Pickles – by process of elimination; see the rest)
- I can’t break through (Skwisgaar – I swear I can hear a very subtle “s” at the end of that can’t(s)…)
- Surprise – me too (Toki – just… seems like a Toki thing to say, and the slight vibrato in the ‘whoa!’ kind of reminds me of how Brendon did his vocals in DSR.)
- It’s down to you (I’m very torn between this being Murderface or Nathan. I think it makes the most sense from the perspective of the story for this to be Murderface pleading with Nathan that everything rests on him – because everything in Metalocalypse ALWAYS rests on Nathan, and that’s what we see in AOTD with Nathan throwing himself into the beam to disrupt Falconback. HOWEVER, the next line in the song REALLY songs like it has a lisp in it, which would perhaps make this Nathan instead pleading with Murderface? Which I like – the band saves Murderface, and Murderface saves the band! Perhaps this is his “throwing a snowball at Salacia” moment?? Either interpretation is valid; I waffle back and forth all the time.]
Yea-ea-eah, we are the dust* from stars now
Yea-ea-eah, we know we own the light
Yea-ea-eah, we break** the atmosphere now
Yea-ea-eah, the end is in our sights!
[*Okay, THIS is where I swear I can hear a lisp – it sounds like “duscht”, which would be a callback to “My Name Is Murder” in which he says “you’ll burn to duscht”. This is why I think the previous section has Nathan telling Murderface to save them.
**I think Genius says this word is “bring”, but “break” makes more sense to me. Either or.
Dethklok again here! The “we know we own the light” implies that they’ve managed to wrest back the Dethlights for themselves – or at least they’re fighting back to do so! I’m not sure if all of them are freed at this point, but there’s hope in this verse. Falconback is starting to crumble, or it’s not siphoning off the Doomstar’s Dethlights like Salacia had hoped it would. Dethklok is fighting back.]
Whoa-oh-oh-whoa
(Whoa Whoa-oa-oa)
[Dethklok again. Toki and Skwisgaar at first, but more voices join in on this one – it’s all of them.]
The centrifuge is spinning
And the Star draws its path
The five choose to sacrifice
This darkened magnetized wrath
And the demon is descending
Closer to its host
The metal core keeps spinning
While the Storm holds the coast
[I think this is the first section we get from the Army of the Doomstar’s perspective! They’re watching Dethklok in Falconback from their spot along the shoreline where they’ve arrived to battle Salacia’s army. They’re trying to reach Dethklok.]
Whoa-oah, leave their souls!
We were always meant to go
Whoa-oah, let it be
One last strike with our sword!
See* them call the light
We must die but we lived our lives
[*Genius has this listed as “save”, but I think it’s “see” – the Army is watching Dethklok struggling to take the Dethlights back from Salacia. Unlike in AoTD, they don’t break out of Falconback in G2 – they simply siphon away the Dethlights for their own use by using the Army as a conduit – an amplifier.
Another one from the perspective of the Army, and I think specifically the first four lines are Offdensen! He knows the fans are worried about Dethklok in peril, but he’s reassuring everyone that everyone present is carrying out the roles that they are destined to carry out. Dethklok are sacrificing themselves for the planet, and now it’s the Army’s turn to do the same. The final two lines with the layered vocals are from the perspective of the entire Army. They’re ready to die for Dethklok – and for Earth. This is the “open hand” scene – they’re letting the Dethlights pass through them. There are so many more of them than there are of Salacia’s army that they’re quickly overpowering Falconback.]
Could this be the end? (Yeah)
Could this be the end? (Whoa-oa)
Could this be the end?
[Dethklok again – it has to be terrifying to be filled with the Dethlights. AoTD showed us it doesn’t exactly FEEL great, so maybe they really do feel like they’re ripping apart and burning alive as the lights fill them and Falconback begins to buckle under their power.]
Falcon screams
Mechanics melting white
The demon Star moves closer
Shooting flaming bloody light
[I think this is from the perspective of a general “narrator”, or “muse” – this is a third party description of what’s happening. Falconback can’t handle the Dethlights as Dethklok powers up – it’s starting to melt. The Doomstar is at its zenith now. The Army of the Doomstar is filled with light, directing it all to Dethklok.]
The Lights of Deth
Have built to their strength
The pentagram of power
Keeps the demon away
[Salacia can’t take hold of the Dethlights for himself because of the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP!]
The Star and the planet
And the universe quake
The Storm builds in fury
Crushing death in its wake
[Dethklok and the Army are winning. Salacia’s army has fallen.]
We left ourselves behind
And we looked within
We know that we must die
But for now – we live!
[Back to Dethklok – this is their victory cry! As Falconback completely crumbles and Salacia is vaporized by the Dethlights, Dethklok are flung free. They reached with their open hand to their friends, family, and fans, and because of it, they were victorious. They trusted and loved, and because of it, they lived.
And this is where my hot takes come in.
I know a lot of people take this part of the song to mean that Dethklok have shed their mortal flesh and become full-fledged gods, but I don’t think that aligns with the message of Metalocalypse. Metalocalypse is about the strength and power normal, mortal humans can have when they band together and show each other love and compassion (hand versus fist, do it all for my brother, etc.) I think this last line here is very literal – Dethklok was ready to die, and because they're just regular ol' humans, one day they will. Hell, they've come closer to death than a LOT of people MANY times. But today isn't that day. For now, they live.]
Alright! (x4)
WE LIVE!
[This is everyone left alive – Dethklok and the Army, all of them alike – celebrating. They’ve taken back their planet! I love how calm and simple the music becomes during the “alright”s after the mounting pressure and cacophony of the previous verses. You can really get a sense of Dethklok standing there in the snow, terrified and confused as all hell about what’s just happened, looking up to see the Army of the Doomstar rushing towards them full of wild excitement, Nathan pumping his fist into the air as in the final moment of AoTD to give that one last “WE LIVE!” It’s got such a celebratory feel!]
Could this be the end? (x4)
[Dethklok again. Unlike the other times this is sung in the song, here it’s being asked to mean “is the evil really gone? Is it all over?” They’re in disbelief, after everything they’ve been through, that five pampered idiot rockstars like them – along with the Army – really managed to pull off saving the entire world from the apocalypse.]
...
Anyway, uh, I banged this out after several consecutive nights of not enough sleep and after downing WAY too much caffeine, so apologies for any incoherencies or mistakes. I just... I just love this song so much. :3

Could I have some fluff with Toki?? Like one day him and the reader are relaxing together as he lays his head on their lap while they stroke his hair as they talk about life or something lol
AN: I hope this is what you had in mind!! I <3 writing for Toki.
Mordhaus was comfortable, as far as mansions go, but there was something so…unsettling about being there as a guest. It wasn’t that you weren’t experienced when it came to navigating the corridors or the many hundreds of doors that all seemingly led to unnecessary rooms, it was just that you felt out of place. Regardless, it was the one place you could find refuge with Toki, away from rabid Dethklok fans and overenthusiastic record label execs.
“Nothing’s on.” You clicked the remote, sat on the living room couch next to Toki. He reached a leg over yours and flicked through channels on the modified pedal until he reached the Dethklok Minute.
“This!” He removed his foot from the pedal, leaving his leg draped over you. You clasped a hand over his knee, delighted by his enthusiasm to watch a show about himself. You couldn’t judge; he had grown up with nothing, to be adored by millions of people worldwide was something he never could have dreamed of. If any of his other bandmates had put it on, you would’ve scoffed, but you let Toki enjoy the Dethklok Minute whenever he wanted to.
As the show dragged on, Toki grew restless. His name had yet to be mentioned. When the host signed off, Toki stomped on the pedal to turn off the TV, huffing. He pulled his leg off of you and flopped himself on his side, head settling in your lap as he bemoaned the lack of public attention.
“Nobody cares abouts Tokis!” His words were muffled into your thigh. “Nobody talks abouts Tokis.” You pulled yourself up slightly, reaching down to comb your fingers through his hair.
“That isn’t true.” You tried to reason with him.
“Yes!” He wasn’t having it.
“I care about you,” you began to braid his hair into messy patterns, “I talk about you. I talk to you, Toki. Isn’t that better?” You finished one braid and started on another.
“Mph.” He pushed his head into the crevice your thighs created around his head. “Yes. That ams better.”
“Who cares about the Dethklok Minute, Toki? The only people I know who watch it live here.”
“You only hangs out with the peoples that who lives here.” He countered, but he turned slightly in your lap and you could see a faint smile. You pulled him up by the braid you had now finished, kissing his forehead before gently dropping him back down to your lap. He giggled, pushing his hands under your thighs and letting himself enjoy the warmth you exuded.
“Will you keeps braidings my hair?”
“I was going to, whether you asked or not.” You laughed softly, his joy was contagious. You unwound the braids you had already finished and started sectioning his hair down the middle to produce two bigger, cleaner looking braids.
“You still thinks I’m cools?”
“What?”
“Even thoughs I’m not in the Dethklok Minutes?”
You were ready to dismiss the notion entirely, but you felt that you owed it to him to respond honestly. “The coolest.”
“You still loves me?”
“Always.”
“Even thoughs—”
“Toki, you could be some regular jackoff and I would still think the absolute world of you.” You grabbed a hair tie from your wrist and tied off the first braid. “Look at me.”
He moved his hands from under you and turned over to look up. He seemed genuinely nervous, which you found endearing—it wasn’t often that you saw people in his position of power so concerned about their reputation when it didn’t concern their wealth. It was always something you appreciated about Toki; he was empathetic towards everybody and more than capable of accessing his own emotions.
“I love you.” You fanned the hair out of his eyes. “I don’t care about the people on TV who do or don’t talk about you. I care about you.”
He sat bolt upright, wrapping his arms around you and squeezing. “Thanks you,” he whispered, grateful to hear the words, “I loves you, too.” He pulled away to kiss you on the nose, then again on your lips. You wrapped your arms around his neck and kept him close to you, feeling the way he licked into you ever so slightly, before pulling away.
“Do you want me to finish braiding?” You asked, and in lieu of a verbal response he once again flopped his head onto your lap.

Yo I love your thought that Murderface is smarter than he seems and would know a lot about historical weaponry. I can imagine him telling everything he knows about Civil War swords on a date.
Hmmm…I think I can imagine that too >:)
Idk why I put an evil face this is vv sweet
Murderface ranting on a date
Tumblr media
One hand of yours was holding a cold, fruity drink whilst the other was embedded in William’s paw. He insisted that he didn’t like these sorts of dates, where the two of you simply walked and browsed through an “everyday dildo’sch” strip mall (his words not yours.) and yet he always seemed to enjoy himself. Well, he was always at least little bit happier when he was with you, but you weren’t supposed to know that. He dawned a black beanie, squishing down his fluffy hair, which somehow changed his appearance just enough so the two of you weren’t bombarded with dedicated Dethklok enthusiasts. Neither of you were sure how it worked, but it did.
Your arms swayed together in a sweet, romantic way while he animatedly showed off his immense knowledge on weaponry, “Pretty musch everyone had a schick bayonet on the end of their muschket, it was schtandard. Didn’t add too musch extra weight, made up-closch killing schuper eashy to do. If you were on a horsch, you couldn’t usch a gun, scho they chopped off headsch with a Calvary Schaber.”
You smiled. Just a few months ago, he seemed constantly shrouded in anger and hate. Perhaps he was opening up, being vulnerable, or was just genuinely a bit cheerier. But, nowadays, he had that look on his face more and more often. Where he spoke confidently, his eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, his face rested more-so into a smile than a frown. Still a pessimistic and narcissistic asshole, mind you, but much less…miserable.
“Scho then, they figured out that they had to do schomthing in order to protect their muschicians’sch, so they just gave them these knivesch called the foot schword and…and-um, babe?” His face scrunched up. You hadn’t realized you’d been staring.
The two of you stopped in your stride, placing your drink on the rim of a nearby trash can to take both his hands in yours. Facing each other completely, you have a full view of his flustered and confused expression.
“Wasch I…bothering-“
“No, William.” You cupped his face, “Not at all.”
Leaning up, you tried to gently kiss his lips, but he learned into it fully, wrapping his arms around you and nearly picking you up from the concrete. You could’ve swore you felt a rumble emit from his chest. Unfortunately, your fingertips somehow crept under the rim of his beanie, causing the whole thing to slip off.
You only got a few seconds of passionate eye contact with him until the people around you began to yell;
“Is that Murderface from Dethklok?”
“Dethklok, where?”
“Can I have an autograph?”
“Who’s that he’s kissin’?”
“Ah, Schit. FUCK ALL OF YOU!” Your glorious boyfriend took your hand and booked it, dragging you like a rag doll for a second before scooping you up to cling onto his back like a koala. You were immediately chased by a hoard of crazy-eyed fans; Klokateers appeared out of nowhere and began to fight them off.
Even in the chaos, you sighed dreamily. You wouldn’t give him up for the world.

I think it’s interesting how as far as I’ve seen nobody mentions that in Doomstar Requiem Toki and Abigail were definitely being fed human.
I think towards Toki specifically Magnus just enjoyed the degradation and humiliation of starving this guy to the point where he will eat ground up human and God knows what else, but then kicking the bowl away to deny him even that but leave him with the sick realization he was starving enough to eat people.
Also since Magnus mostly took Abigail as collateral and as somebody the band might come for if they don’t for Toki due to the fact Magnus thinks him and Toki both have been “abandoned” by Dethklok. He knows how Nathan is about romance he knew Nathan puts romantic relationships above all else, especially his own friends/bandmates, which again is another thing to hurt Toki. Make sure he doubts that they are coming to save him, make him feel he would only be saved as an after thought and nothing else.
I think having them kidnap Abigail was smart because if it had been two members of the band then I think you wouldn’t have the struggle for the others to risk their lives to save their friends, Charles maybe would have more quickly agreed to letting the band save their missing bandmates and the fans turning scene would not have happened if two of their band had been taken since a concert would not have gone off at all like that. But having somebody who is a character that the band are close to like Abigail or Knubbler or Charles be taken as well works especially because if Toki had been taken and just him then he would have broken way fucking sooner and just died. Magnus tormented him physically the way he had been as a child by his own father and then added on the emotional shit by making Toki feel his friends are happy with him gone. Having somebody with him to support him and keep him from just dying long enough for them to be saved was the only way any of this would work out.
Alternatively the fact Murderface is going through being possessed and tormented by a demon alone is a great juxtaposition. He always feels isolated and even confronted Nathan about this in Doomstar and if he alone had been taken they would not do fuck all to save him or even mourn him. Now he’s alone and struggling with possession that causes him physically and emotionally to be distanced from the others and feel more validated in the thought that they do not love him and would not do anything for him.
So I enjoy the absolute pain of all of this.

Wanted to write more for my Hammertooth swap au since some of the lore differs a lot from the Canon
Hammertooth Swap Lore
(I guess idk what else to call)
Dethklok
Originally had no Rhythm Guitarist when first signed
Ended up needing one after everyone agreed the guitar section needed more 'zazz' (much to Skwisgaar's disapproval)
Held auditions, where they met both Toki and Magnus
Magnus ended up impressing them enough to land the spot (despite not doing better than Toki)
This enraged Toki who ended up attacking the band
Still all have their og personalities intact
Magnus
Past
His dad was an abusive asshole, Magnus ended up running away because of this
Loves clowns because of an old cartoon he watched
Didn't meet Dethklok until that audition
Was homeless for a while before that
Only owned a car he slept in and a guitar
Auditioned out of pure desperation (didn't even think he'd get in the band)
Wasn't nearly as close to beating Skwisgaar as Toki was, but the band saw his potential
Forever grateful for Dethklok
Current
Still the oldest of the band
Seen as sort of a sweet grandpa by fans (leading to his large child fanbase like Toki in the Canon)
Isn't graying nearly as much because he isn't as stressed
Not muscular, but still incredibly thin which makes the other members slightly jealous
Bickers with Skwisgaar and Murderface constantly
Has positive mixed feelings for Nathan and Pickles (like he loves the two but he isn't sure in what way)
Toki
Past
Traveled to America, explicitly to audition with Dethklok
Was practically in love with the band up until his audition
Outperformed everyone, except Skwisgaar himself
Became enraged when Magnus landed the spot in the band instead of him
Tried attacking Skwisgaar with a knife, but was beaten by Nathan before he could stab Skwisgaar
Lost a tooth and eventually partial eyesight from this
Carved 'Revenge is Comings' into the side of Magnus's car after the fact
Current
Still obsesses over Dethklok in an unhealthy way
Joined the Revengencers (initially with reluctance but eventually got really into it)
Tolerates MMA at best
Doesn't want to kill anyone, especially Dethklok
You would be able to see him at most of Dethklok's public appearances
Figured out Magnus was going to fantasy camp that way
Wasn't recognized by Magnus due to how much his appearance changed (gold tooth, white eye, longer hair, and added wrinkles)
Was tempted to just let Magnus go into diabetic shock, but reluctantly saved him
Overall most the stuff is still the same, just with Magnus and Toki swapped around

Army of the Doomstar spoilers.
I wrote all this for post-AOTD fanfic purposes. You can totally disagree and go in an entirely different direction for your own, of course. Go nuts.
Been thinking about the klokateers post-AOTD. We don't see any of them during the final battle, iirc. Just regular people, no hoods.
I think it kind of mirrors the season 1 finale where the army of Klokateers battle against Crozier's army while the boys are unconscious. Except this time during AOTD we can clearly see it's a diverse group of people from all walks of life.
Obviously this (+ Nathan's speech at the end) is a representation of the band coming to view their fans and employees as real people with real lives, and not just a matched set of disposable minions.
However I'm curious if 1. There's any Klokateers left in the world at all, 2. Will there be people willing to join the ranks of Dethklok again, and 3. If so, how different life as a Klokateer might be after the Metalocalypse.
So for no. 1, I do think there's still Klokateers out there. Sure, the "official" Army of the Doomstar was killed by Salacia & co., but I don't think Mordhaus was destroyed (the boys return to an intact home after the Aortic Desecration cataclysm, iirc). I'm willing to bet their regular staff must still be there. They might only be a fraction left of the millions they once were, but they remain as loyal as ever. They might have in fact been present during the final battle, simply not in uniform for storytelling purposes.
Number two. It all depends on what Dethklok will do post-Metalocalypse. I like the open world of possibilities the ending left us with. We don't know if they'll continue to make music, we don't know if they'll retire, I think the only thing we can say for sure is that they will remain together. So they could totally return to Mordhaus. Or they could downsize if they see fit. They've reached a... slight level of maturity after the events of AOTD. Perhaps this could mean them realizing that while they like their luxury just fine, they don't actually need that many rooms and fancy gadgets they once demanded on a whim.
So they might still need employees. And I'm sure plenty of people would be willing to work for them. They're the saviors of the entire planet, after all. But life as a post-apocalypse Klokateer might be very different than it was before. Which brings me to number three.
If post-AOTD Dethklok is really willing to continue learning and changing their ways, I doubt they'd continue to enjoy witnessing their employees' inhumane living conditions, no matter how "brutal" they think it is. People *might* be willing to live under such conditions for them, mind you! But I want to have faith in the boys and believe that they'd now fully interiorize how wrong that is.
After Salacia's been defeated, after the apocalypse has been mostly averted, there's no need for their employees to sacrifice their wellbeing, no matter how devoted they might be to their bosses. There's no need for them to go through a deadly hiring process. There's no need for Dethklok to continue being the meat grinder their Klokateers willingly enter into, knowing they won't make it out in one piece.
Post-AOTD Klokateers could just be regular employees, if only the kind to sport a wacky uniform and be proud of it. There'd be no need for them to be as many as there once was. Just enough to keep Dethklok safe (they'd still need bodyguards, after all), do their jobs as roadies and sound technicians, and regular everyday staff who keep the band's home running smoothly. Whether that's Mordhaus or anywhere else.

Fluff alphabet w/ knubbler (remake)
Remaking this because skimming through the old version some of my hcs have changed + I wanna get back into writing for mtl while the rot is here... maybe I'll do some other characters (winks)
No queue we die like men (I'm inpatient and wanna post mtl NOW!!!!(.. quickly realizing why I dont do long posts like this on mobile anymore. Not proof read we die like dethklok fans
Bonus prompt ♡ is PDA
Notes: reader is GN though this is mostly focused on general knubbler hcs
CWs: edit
Tumblr media
Attraction
I would say hes a bit shallow but I'm a dickface shipper/j, serious note I think depending on circumstance he can overlook surface level stuff if you're charming enough! I mention in the original post that I think he enjoys feistier folk; outspoken and ready to dish it back if its tossed at them. It keeps things interesting even if it can get frustrating at times. Needs someone with humor, though
Bonding
He tries to make time for you when hes not working, he usually takes you out somewhere. Usually dinner or to the mall- hes bit materialistic and he doesn't mind spoiling you. Music fanatic, listens to everything and looooves listening to some of the stuff you're into, most definitely dissecting it too thanks to his career
Cuddling
Average older person body type, a bit on the cooler side temperature wise. VERY handsy when cuddling most of the time. Prefers to be big spoon but would not object if you turn the tables
Dates
As mentioned he spoils you, so going somewhere nice (and a bit pricy) is a common date experience. Flirting and innuendos aside, dates also double as a catch up thing for you. Again due to him working hard a lot of the time to keep up with his career
Emotion
Hes pretty level headed, though seeing him getting frustrated or annoyed isnt an uncommon occurrence. He has a pretty normal threshold when it comes to bullshit in the day to day- does get a little more emotional if hes under the influence, its just hard to guess which emotion it'll be until hes drunk
Family
Hes not interested in having children, for the most part. Hes had those fleeting "what if" thoughts, but anything more than that? No. That being said I do personally headcanon that he has siblings, who might have children of their own. Rich aunt knubbler supremacy/j
Gift giving
Again, he spoils you. A lot. He can afford it thanks to working with dethklok, and that's assuming hes not also producing for others. Even if hes not giving you something significant, hes sending you roses to remind you you're his
Harsh
He can get short when hes angry but he does try his best to reel himself in and try to find a solution, and depending on the context willing to compromise so both sides are satisfied. Naturally hes easier to work up if hes stressing out. Prefers to go to the side to cool off if things get too intense
Injury
Very similar to the old post, he reacts accordingly based on the nature of your injury. He can be a little insensitive to it, though, but like.. in. a "oh we have different pain thresholds and I kind of forget that" kind of way
Jealousy
Oh this man gets jealousy with a capital J. Want a quick way to get him worked up? Make him jealous. I mean don't becahse that's kind of shitty but. You know. Depending on the context and how the relationship as a whole is going hes either going to toss you to the side or play your game- has the "I didnt lose you you lost me" mentality, kind of gets nasty with it if you really fuck things up
Kiss
Lots of kisses- quick and light, or deep any passionate. Any kiss is a good kiss- tends to favor your mouth of course! Loves being kisses on the cheek
Love language
Guys I don't think I said this yet but he likes buying stuff for you/j
No serious notes, he listens to you. You're someone he can just talk to, no having to worry about your job or your reputation. Just talking. Hes a good listener, actually. Physical touch is another way he shows his love. Not even just sexually; reassuring and innocent hands on the shoulder or a hand steadying you on your back when you're faltering. Things like that
Marriage
Similar to having children hes never really thought about it. He doesnt strike me as the type to settle and commit to something long term, even just having you long term as a non-spouse is a change for him. He might warm up to it one day, he might not
No
A quick dealbreaker is if you put his career in jeopardy. Hes worked way too hard for this and hes not going to let it get wiped just like that. Not even necessarily getting him fired, just interfering in any negative way can put in a lot of tension
Oddity
Goofy ass laugh. Laughs at his own jokes, most of which being bad or corny. That's not even touching on his sexual innuendos. Horrid. Tomato tomato tomato
Petnames
Naturally he calls you babe and baby. Hon and honey are thrown in there every now and then. Oh he would definitely use dumber names in passing, partly because he unironically thinks they're cute and because he likes seeing your reaction
Quiet time
Well I guess it defeats the purpose of this segment being called "quiet" time but that idea earlier of the two of you just sitting and enjoying music together and analyzing it sounds nice. Outside of that the two of you can sit in silence doing something on your own. Life can get hectic, especially when one or even both of you work for dethklok
Risk
He takes risks, calculated ones though. He thinks about the pros and cons of everything before acting, and if it would be better to do it than do nothing if the outcome doesnt look too good. But that's in the context of himself and his work. But with you? Unless you're dying or in danger he tends to play it safe even if he can still come off as a douche every once in a while
Shh
He has his healthy share of secrets. Nothing wrong with that, privacy is important. If he needs to tell you something that he thinks you should know, he will tell you when its appropriate
Tunes
Maybe its because I'm going insane over these songs, and I hope you can forgive me for not linking them but:
Modern day cane and mx sinister
Both by IDKHBTFM. Less of a "you guys listen to these together/it reminds me of knubbler x reader stuff " but because the songs kind of remind me of him in general/I feel hed listen to these
Upset
He tries to work through things when hes upset, but he does separate himself from the situation if it gets too much- whether it be to keep him from saying or doing something hes really going to regret later or because he just can't deal with it in that moment
He offers to listen to you when you're upset, he tends to be unbiased so he can offer a good solution if that's what you need. He does try to spare your feelings but get ready to sometimes hear what you dont want
Wedding
Valentine
Roses, candies, and a reservation to some fancy place- something higher quality than the usual. Definitely the type to try to initiate intimacy on Valentine's
If it DOES happen, hes going all out. Maybe it's the fact hes rich and famous and he can overindulge a bit, but an expensive wedding is likely. It may not be huge, in terms of attendants though. Just friends and family
Xray
Hes gotten very good at reading people over the years so good luck trying to act normal around him if something is going on. If you seem avoidant about talking, he does try to drop hints that you can talk to him
Yearn
Oh this man yearns, both innocently and not so. He copes well enough between the times you are apart or see each other less
Zzz
Snores in his sleep. Has a long routine. Sleeps like a sickly Victorian person; on his back, head tilted backwards, arms sprawled across his torso. Primarily sleeps on his back, though, maybe you can cuddle into his side
Bonus prompt ♡
Looooves PDA, always holding you in some way. If the setting is professional he will keep his hands to himself. Does not mind showing you off, either

The only criticism I have honestly, is the retcon of them learning to be better people in Doomstar. But it's a continuity thing for me.
You guys finally learned to do something kind for others towards the end of that movie but you went back to being assholes to your fans again AOTDS?
The same thing that got ya'll into this mess in the first place?
Also, my expectations were a little bit blindsided by what they would do here.
I was expecting more lore about Murderface here and maybe some diving into their past as Dethklok was starting, but it's nothing too bad.
i still need to rewatch aotd several more times its not embedded in my head yet so i wouldn’t consider my thoughts and crits Completely formed
mmbut i wouldn’t necessarily call that a retcon, bc i don’t consider that lesson to be fully Learned in doomstar requiem? what they learned, mostly, is that they’re a family and YES they actually care about each other. and that’s not even something they didn’t know but they consistently deny it, and don’t take that love seriously enough to express it in any meaningful way. and thats just amongst themselves, they still didn’t learn to rid their harbored resentment for their fans, who they infamously hate and barely consider people. to me this movie was literally about the continuing the lesson from the first movie, they learned to care about each other now they have to extend that out to their fans. im p sure this is what the whole “open hand” thing is about, also why the fans were the army of the doomstar all along, dethklok is now a part of them, not against them.
also, personally i think there was just enough Murderface, his whole possession deal was around for as long as it needed to, and their connection with him afterwards was very sweet, “but you can’t even hear the bass” ”but you can always feel it” was so beautiful it stuck w me lol
like ofc i can always appreciate more lore and backstory but i consider that fanservice and wasn’t something i was seriously expecting to be included because every second of this movie needed to be dedicated to wrapping up the story. i don’t doubt brandon small and the other show runners wanted to do more and give us the fun extra juicy bits but i can tell they written the movie to be tight with nothing wasting narrative space. the lame thing about being a creative is knowing when something is unnecessary for the story even if it’s interesting. i heard that brandon small is thinking about continuing metalocalypse so hopefully we get to see stuff like that in the future i want that too😭

skwisgaar feminism word salad response anon on another tangent again !! (is 💉 taken for an anon sign off? didn’t see so in ur beloved anon tag but i’ll be usin’ that for ease of communication on both ends)
regarding the shows take on gender: i definitely agree in the sense that it has a lot to say about gender, as well as the take of “deliberate critique of misogyny” vs “the show kinda also sucked with women” co-existing statements!!! i think in this case it just makes the internalized misogynistic fandom space behavior so much… worse in that sense, though? yes, the show did suck with women and their focuses, but with the show’s critique of celebrity + metal culture thus lending dethklok to view women of objects… it just feels like when the fandom discounts women in the show just as easily, it’s falling into the same trap dethklok does and i would argue that gets into the whole other issue of glorifying dethklok despite the fact they’re portrayed (initially, anyway) in a sort of always sunny in philadelphia “don’t be like this” way. which then turns the fans into a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts but that is a WHOLE other tangent-
either way, it’s disheartening to watch at times.
as for depth of the show vs sometimes it’s not that deep, even for how the fans react:
1. i adore ur analyses please continue having these fits of divine madness
2. i agree sometimes it’s not that deep! sometimes fans just want to watch two guys kiss! and that’s okay!
and i definitely agree that people don’t leave their implicit biases at the door when entering fandom (and i am forever grateful you do not leave your gender studies degree at the door either; truthfully, i would not feel so open critiquing the fandom with any other creator, as your perspective is inherently unique due to a variety of factors)
but i guess my whole perspective is… yeah, it feels a lot like there’s a portion of the fandom that doesn’t work on their inherent internalized misogyny, even on tumblr, which goes back to your post regarding skwisgaar finding all women beautiful and how his willingness to sleep with fat and elderly women has become a joke to many. of course, it also gets into fatphobia, lookism, and ageism, which honestly the ageism confuses me considering most folks are also thirsting after literal middle aged cartoon men but i suppose in their minds it’s different because they’re men and “not geriatric” or something.
in the latter case: cowards, all of them, as there is an inherent beauty to aging (and skwisgaar would agree)

(also im sorry for word vomiting in your inbox AGAIN there’s so many thoughts and not enough words but like ily and everything you do for the fandom. ur brain is galaxy level always)
ehehe don't apologize dear! i'm honored and proud that i've created a space where people do feel comfortable to talk to me about feminism and lesbianism despite the overwhelming focus on men within this community (again, understandable given the context of the show, but it doesn't make it any less exhausting sometimes).
i don't really have much to say in addition to this, you hit so many points i agree with! i remember some mtl creators talking about how if you can't meaningfully recognize where the show is satirizing oppressive thoughts and behaviors and instead reinforce those behaviors through your own actions, then you're not mature enough to be engaging with the show, and that's pretty much my stance on it! again, as we've mentioned, there will always be people who don't unpack all their internalized biases, and it's very easy to let those slip through even in good faith, but that's basically the viewpoint i have.
dethklok can be genuinely awful people sometimes, and we're not meant to agree with them on everything, and we have to remember that. as much as they've become massive comfort characters to me, i would guillotine all five of them irl.

tbh i was going to make a post about this without the discourse bc this is something i'm genuinely interested in
it really seems like people think "redemption arc" = "villain gets a slap on the wrist, then is forgiven and becomes best friends with the heroes" which...no?
i know people use prince zuko as the ideal example of this trope, but "character who's a victim of the same system that the heroes are trying to dismantle eventually learns to escape their abusive circle and joins the heroes, and also their heel-turn was set up when they were first introduced" is only one example of how to write a redemption arc and tbh, i really don't think this would fit magnus.
again, this is just my personal taste, but (if mtl was allowed to have more time with its characters and arcs), the model i'd like magnus' arc to resemble is bojack horseman. specifically in the way that it shows how a character can go through the process of bettering themselves, but the people they've harmed do not owe them forgiveness.
youtube
they don't even owe them a place in their lives. sometimes the best thing you can do for someone you hurt is to just leave them the fuck alone so you don't fuck up their own healing process. in my characterization, magnus' end goal for his arc isn't to be best friends with dethklok again. it's being able to see a dethklok cd at target and not have a meltdown.
of course, this is specifically for my fan creations. bojack horseman has the benefit of having 6 seasons so go through their protagonist's journey. it would be really weird if metalocalypse decided to extend that same treatment for this villain they introduced in s4. it's almost like we're all just having fun here.

Does Brendon Small know you exist? If not, he should.
Well... I know he exists and that he hasn't sued me yet. That definitely makes me feel good. :D
Tumblr media
You know - A couple times I've been asked if Brendon's read Dethkomic, but I can't say one way or the other. I will say that whenever I posted art on Twitter of Metalocalypse, he almost always gave it a like, so dude's a fan of fanart, for sure. As a professional illustrator, I run in the same circles as a lot of people who have worked on the show, and a lot of us follow each other on social media/art social media, and they for sure know what I'm up to. :)
The biggest fan of this kind of thing was alwas Jon Schnepp, though. Whenever I even thought about drawing Dethklok back in the day, Jon would appear in the comments with a "hell yeah!" within minutes. He was the biggest fan of fans, I think.
I miss him terribly and I like to think he'd be into Dethkomic. I hope I'm making him proud. I hope if people are currently working on the movie and reading Dethkomic they know I'm doing it to keep the hype for this show going, and all the work they're doing, just as much as I am to amuse my little brain. It's always seemed like a mutually beneficial relationship when it comes to the creatives on the show and the creatives in the fanbase, and I love that for all of us.

Can you do a murderface x female reader?
Yes I can! Tysm for being my first request ^_^
Tumblr media
TW: Swearing, lots of comfort, insecure murderface, ever-so-slightly implied content at the end
“Schtop looking at my cardsch!”
You grinned mischievously, holding your own fan of playing cards close to your chest, “Me? Oh, William, I would ne-ever!”
Murderface rolled his eyes, more so out of playfulness than annoyance. He couldn’t be annoyed at you. In any other situation, something as simple as a game of cards would’ve fueled his overly-competitive and easily-angered side. But, not with you, for you had a precious tendency to squeeze his loving little heart.
You placed your head once again on his shoulder, continuing to obviously stare at his hand. The game had turned into a throwaway since you started it, the two of you sitting cross-legged in his bed and using the opportunity to flirt and tease.
“You’ve had that king this whole time?”
“Yup.”
“Sneaky bastard.”
He snuck his free arm to your waist, holding you tightly, the butterflies in his stomach raving like it was their last day. How did you do it? Still managed to make him flustered after all this time? He was a rockstar! He was supposed to fuck and forget, and have flings all over the planet! But he wasn’t made for that and he knew. In this moment, surrounded by your warmth, he knew he was made for you and you only.
Were you made for him? He sure hoped so. But you seemed so beautiful, so compassionate, so indescribably perfect! And he was…William Murderface. Dethklok’s useless bass player, the ugliest guy in the world. You showing up in his life had to be a miracle. When would his luck run out?
“Hun?” He looked up with stinging eyes, completely unaware he had been crying. He quickly wiped them away, chuckling from embarrassment, “Heh, schorry. Allergies.”
You frowned. You knew it was bullshit, and you knew that he knew that you knew it was bullshit. You set your cards down and crawled onto his lap, placing your hands gently on his face. Murderface avoided your eyes, embarrassed by his emotions. This was, unfortunately, quite a common occurrence. Whether he realized it or not, William needed a whole lot of your love.
“Darling, I love you.”
“I know,” You had said it to him hundreds of times, but it still made his heart flutter, “I love you too.”
You scooted closer, your torso pushing against his, “I love you and I think you’re gorgeous and you are so, so special to me, William.”
You spread clusters of kisses around his face as his tears continued to fall, no longer from sadness but from the overwhelming feeling of joy you brought him. He hugged your waist, burying his face into your chest.
“You’re amasching” He wanted to say so much more. You weren’t just amazing, you were everything. You were the light in his life, his muse, his magic, his miracle. You scratched at his scalp, taking the affection and giving plenty back.
He leaned into you, pushing you back onto the bed. You heard the remaining stack of cards fall to the floor at scatter; you’d have to deal with it later. For now, you continued to comfort the crying Murderface that lay on top of you. You brought his chin up, your heart hurting to see such red eyes.
“You’re perfect,” He said.
“No, I’m yours.”
He smiled and nuzzled his face once again into your chest, a bit deeper this time.
“Ah-watch it, boy. Don’t get ideas,” You teased.
“Who, me? I would ne-ever!”
