Irish singer Shane MacGowan has died at 65. He co-founded The Pogues in 1982. After getting kicked out in 1991, he re-joined in 2001 and was with them until their end in 2014. He also had Shane MacGowan and The Popes, as well as solo work and collaborations with Nick Cave, Sinead O'Connor, and Dropkick Murphys.
The Pogues and Kristy MacColl's 1987 song "Fairytale in New York" is a holiday song I listen to every year as it's on multiple compilation albums. It was even featured in last year's Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. I named The Pogues one of my Honorable Mentions for Best Irish Rockers of All-Time.

ill clean up this doodle later but i just wanted to say, i think shane would be a big chicken breed enjoyed. idc if I'm projecting but i think hed like Brahmas because Brahmas are the best breed sorry
also i think hed like wyandottes, buff orpingtons and like
Jersey Giants :)
whenever i gush and tell someone about shane and they raise an eyebrow and i have to explain that it's shane from stardew valley and they're like. "oh. i thought you were talking about shane dawson haha" my lifespan decreases by 10%
okay so i have been thinking about mixing intrests. like universe swapping my fandoms.
so this lead to a lot of walking dead fantasy thoughts, which lead to me trying to figure out what typical dnd fantasy species the characters would be. then i spiraled.
of course starting with the Grimes family and they feel very half-elven. Kids being first-gen half-elf with Rick being the human because i think Lori being an elf gives more impact to her death from Rick's perspective. Also to Carl's with him being half-elf. Because Rick always knew he would be the first to die, the rest of his family easily outliving him so of course the impact of him outliving them is so intense for him.
this also gets into Judith being half-elven, with her looking enough like she fits into the family even with a different father. (Shane also being human). So to any outsiders there is nothing suspicious, but to the people who know they know.
also Michonne would be elvish just because badass vibes and i think Rick would have a thing for beautiful elf women so RJ is also half-elf. i also think that fits into an interesting narrative with Rick meeting Michonne after Lori's death, adds to the mental illness on my side.
also have ideas for other characters but these were the big feely ones.
happy to hear what others think as well, live 4 input.
My first impression of Ryan Bergara was that he was a Nerd and a Jock. It took me months to realize that the Nerd part was just the glare of light coming from Shane Madej.
