[thefourchimes]

Hiiiiii, I love the four chimes au.

Please tell me the ciquest!AU has a happy ending, because your series absolutely wrecked me! lol

If there's anything you can say about Robin's controlled infection too, I'd love to know more. I was worried that she would end up losing her humanity to save Nancy and Max. I just want them all happy >.>

hello!! every time i see this ask and just your love for the au, i always have such a wide grin on my face, thank you so much!! :DD

and i promise, it does have a happy ending...

...eventually :)

hehe, but yeah, it's a wild journey. the au is actually technically already more or less complete with the story line, both the og and the ciquest version, i just...haven't written it completely HASFUIAHSF

but, that's an eventually too, because my love for this au will always be strong, no matter the hyperfixation i have rn

about robin's controlled infection! well, in mine and @/lumaxrambling's minds, controlled infection au and conquest au are intertwined (because ronance ofc yesyes), hence why its named ciquest au. why am i explaining this little bit?

it's because the reason why robin can control her infection is because of nancy :D

in the ciquest au, pestilence (max) suggests to One/Vecna to get nancy to their side, because she feels that it would really help them out (but also because nancy was also put into a trance by vec, so it goes full circle, doesn't it?)

One/Vecna agrees, but tasks pestilence to hit nancy with her poison infection arrows first to test her

and so the chimes go do that...except robin intervenes and takes it for her

however, instead of becoming infected and losing herself, robin's desire to protect nancy boosted her during her fight against the infection, leading her to take it as her own

in the og au, there is no suggestion to One/Vec, but there is still a moment where someone gets hit by an arrow. i will say now that ogfc!robin...does not have the same luxury as ci!robin

but anyway, yes, back to ciquest au, robin is able to control her infection, which then technically gives her an advantage as she has "taken" some of pestilence's powers to use against the chimes and Vec

ofc, this au is called ciquest for a reason, so seeing how robin is possibly becoming more of a threat, Vec sends the chimes to forcefully take nancy to level the playing field

hence her becoming conquest :>

(oh robin definitely won't blame herself for this, not at all :') much angst hehe)

as for robin almost losing her humanity...well, she gets close for quite a few times

but yeah :)

tysm for the ask!! <333

finn wanted to pass along a message:

"anyway, i'm going to guess that you think our dms are full of interesting convos and shattering realizations and brilliant snippets.

and you'd be right, partially, because all that does happen.

however. there is also this."

Lmao, where's Conquest with the spray bottle when you need her.

May I interest finn (is that lumaxramblings? lol) and you in some Renegade AU memes (that are totally canon btw)

Renegade hyping up Robin to go fight some Chimes (cause girl's gotta eat)

RobRene trying some of that five-star Gordan Ramsay-style Chime essence for the first time.

How I visualized the Max/Renegade argument that happened in chapter 3 hehe.

Renegade fussing over El/Will because they are babies that must be protected.

The vibes that RobRene's got going on.

Renegade when Vecna shows up in Robin's dreams.

I got so many more too lol.

Cookie Run OC comics that I will never finish, so here are the only pages I'll ever complete lmfao please ignore the god awful seagull, I drew that on a headache LMAO

Idk why but I just can't commit to comics, as much as I would LOVE to make them. I get a lot of motivation and drive at the beginning, then it goes as soon as it comes. These weren't even gonna be that long (like 10 pages MAX maybe), so idk ToT

I still like them though

Top comic was titled "Abalone and Otter", meant to showcase Abalone's soft side towards the Salty Shark sailors, one of them being Otter. Drawn last year. Bottom comic was titled "Insulting Existence", meant to be a short interaction between Dalgona Ivory (Pestilence) and Alabaster that ends in Alabaster revering in the fact that his existence insults those who think themselves better. Drawn last month.

Book #122 - This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone

(stick with me, I promise this is going to make sense.)

A while ago, I came to thinking about apocalypse scenarios (wonder why) and how, while I dislike most of Christianity's ideas about the world and people and society, the Four Horsemen are among the very few things that I can get behind.

Famine, Pestilence, War and Death. Heralds of the End Times. I find that idea very comprehensive, and very effective, too. Because, to one degree or another, we are all scared of the world ending. And these Four provide quite an interesting way of categorizing and subdividing that fear. Because no matter who you are, one of these is your worst case, one of them is the one that makes you understand why you fear Apocalypse.

Some people are most scared of the senseless, omni-directional violence of War. They can deal with sickness, they can deal with lack, but the thought of a sword or a gun or a bomb, of civility giving way to slaughter, writes fear onto their bones.

Others might find Pestilence worse. Having your own body fail you. The paranoia that has you scrutinizing yourself and others, strangers and loved ones alike, until a single cough becomes the cry of the banschee and thoughts become consumed with the terror of illness, the invisible thief.

Of course, War, Pestilence and Famine all intermingle and of course, they all, eventually, lead to Death. But Death is still a category of their own, because it is a different thought, a different fear. For some, it isn't important how the world ends, only that it does. The way is not the scary part, the way is a chance to fight, to prolong, to hold out. But in the end, Death will come, and maybe that is the most terrifying thing of all?

Most important, here, though, is Famine.

Hunger, as Blue describes, can be anything. Hunger, simply put, is just the lack of fullfillment of our basic needs, the absence of anything and everything that is essential for our continuation of life as a human being. We need nutrition. Food shortage is Famine. Drought is Famine. We need shelter. In that way, homelessness is its very own form of malnutrition, and in any but the best conditions, it becomes a danger, a lack - it becomes Famine. We are a social animal, as horrid as that may feel sometimes. We need each other. Solitary confinement is torture - an instrument, a form of Famine.

There is a human need for love that feels omniverous, shameful, brutal, unforgiving, and it feels like starving.

Red and Blue found each other and in their letters, they made me fear the end times.

#this is how you lose the time war #amal el mohtar #max gladstone #grade a example of my blog concept #it's not about my thoughts on a book it's about the thoughts I had while reading the book #anyway this book is poetry and absoluetly adore it #dante's top shelf #haven't used that one in a while xD

[superbellsubways]

unfoetunately i am insanw... im glad u like my little guys i neevr imagindd devolving into this but auu virus jehe ihm.

i kind of imagined viruses as little forms of matter? mostly things like goop but they can take on lots of appearances :3 something i drew up as an example

rly shit but i imagine some of them will infect standard or actual programs and use their bodies kind of as hosts like a parasite or something!!! :3 theyre kind of like a pestilence ij my head, once theres one virus found theres bound to be more and ofc theyre ranked i bet ...

ollio is an example of a virus that infected an electronic more specifically an ollioscope, which has its own set of powers the virus now has access too! to be fair it needs to be a little bit more creative for those kinds of powers teehee..

alsooo i love that doodle of clippy being infected... ik it was a one off but the implication of viruses being able to infect programs by just being near is so silly to me!! kind of like the flu or soemthing like being more slow/laggy ^_^ or if the assistant is a computer like max it can cause wayy more harm unlike normal scareware and CYW or little guys likd that...

also i didnt mention thid in the post bc i forot 😞 but the idiot siblings can multiply much akin to the actual real life virus!!!!!!!! if they get cut up they turn into two of themselves like a hydra to further infect said computer....

SORRY AHH I LIKE THE IDEA OF VIRUSES IN THEIR WORLD it might be tooo much but auugh its so funsies to me... esp w guys like incognito hehehahehe hrhehc HEHEHEHE giggle giggles loudlt... so sorry again ahhh explods..

LOOKING SO HARD AT THIS This is actually so fucking cool the whole parasite/sickness+host concept and everything AUGHHH them being worse for tech based characters and the ranking .U have a galaxy brain i am eatinf all of this up 😸😸

also the siblings being able to multiply is rlly funny to me HDJSJD i can imagine them running around causing chaos 😭 I love all of this lots how does it feel to bw rhe smartest person of all time

#FR I NEVER WOULDVE THOUGHT OF ANY OF THIS MYSELF ur actually genius #ur making me wanna focus more on the worldbuilding cuz i never rlly get to explore that stuff .i mainly focus on the characters themselves #im not the best at that stuff but i will try!!!!! #im definitely canonizing this tho bc its really awesome to me #its not too much btw i prommy 🤞 #tw parasite #just for the mention

Pokemon-inspired Monster Part 2

The Cosmic Jellyfish

Description: a jellyfish-like entity that is semi-transparent. Its tentacles appear gelatinous and give it a vaguely humanoid shape, with several tentacles mesh together forming the appearance of a cape or long hair, and two long tentacles make up the legs of the human shape. Despite its soft look, its body looks as though its made from glass.

Monster type and motivation

Queen (motivation: to possess and control)

Supernatural powers

Symbiosis

Injecting a neurotoxin that subtly alters the thoughts and actions of any human or animal that becomes its host

Camouflage (only seen via bright artificial lights [such as LED lights])

Inciting rage to those it merges with

Levitation

Attacks and armour

Neurotoxin (0 harm poison area)

Acid spray (2 harm area)

Dissolving acids (2 harm close ignore armor)

Reflective Coating (+1 Armor)

How much harm will kill it

5

Any weaknesses it has

High-pitched noises in a frequency that shatters glass will break the creature's reflective armor and its camouflage, exposing its soft innards

Custom moves for its powers (optional)

Neurotoxin: the creature is a parasitic organism and, by latching onto one's head, allows it to inject its neurotoxin. This neurotoxin stimulates intense feelings of excitement while causing a loss of inhibitions, which acts to forcibly bring out any latent potential within the host while wearing away at their minds. It may even shoot the neurotoxin out as a defense mechanisim, coming out like a pestilent cloud. Purging is possible with anti-toxins.

If a hunter gets their head clamped by the creature, or they inhale the toxic cloud, have them roll +cool to escape. On a success, they manage to tear it away and lets them know where it is. On a mix, it covers their head but doesn't release the neurotoxin- they will have to roll again on their next turn. On a miss, the creature clamps down and immediately injects its neurotoxin- the hunter will go through stages throughout the mystery until the neurotoxin is purged:

Day: they laugh every now and then, but not too noticeable. Purging time is 5 minutes

Shadows: they seem to take information a bit slowly. They have -1 ongoing to investigate a mystery and read a bad situation. They seem to be in higher spirits as well, not really reading the room if something heavily emotional is going on. Purging time is 30 minutes.

Sunset: it's hard for them to focus, and they now notice pain has a slight delay to them. Not that it'd stop em, to them they're doing great in this fight despite possible injury! They have -1 ongoing for Kick Some Ass and Protect Someone, on top of the negative effects in Sunset. Purging time is 2 hours.

Dusk: They can retain some things, but most of the time they stumble and forget. They are unaware of their surroundings, and have a hard time engaging people in talk or assistance. They barely feel pain. They take -1 ongoing for all moves. Purging time is 2 days

Nightfall: their mind is too clouded for any kind of thoughts. They have -2 ongoing to any roll. They no longer feel pain, causing them to take major risks that could kill them without second thought. Purging time is a week.

Midnight: they're gone, now just a husk of their former selves, mind broken and dissolved. No purging time, as they lose this character.

Rage inducement: if the creature forms a symbyosis with what its attached to, it can induce rage. If a hunter already has the creature clamped on it but didn't get stuck by the neurotoxin, it will try to induce a rage instead to defend itself. Have them roll +cool. On a success, they pry the creature off of themselves. On a mix, have them pick one: they resist the rage toxin for now, or they get controlled. If they choose to stay controlled, they mark experience, with a max of 2. If they let the creature stay on after the 2nd allowance from a mixed roll, they lose control of their character until the mystery ends or if the other hunters free them. (This was put in place in the event the affected hunter tries to farm xp. You're free to edit this move to whatever feels better for your game). On a miss, the hunter goes berserk. They become a temporary threat until the creature breaks off.

Reasons why I motivate myself to work on my Good Omens fanfictions:

So I can take a certain hyper popular ship everyone loves, but I despise, and tear it apart, smash it with a hammer, and set it on fire for my own entertainment. 😊 It's not like someone will do it for me.

I would say because Lady!Crowley deserves more love, but horrific things happen to her, so, I'd be a hypocrite (spoiler alert, she's fine in the end).

Anathema and Newt's family keep a raccoon named Shovels, that they dye black, and pretend is a cat.

I have four ideas put down, so far. One's an actual detective story. Two of them are crossovers with... Legion, of all things (one came to me in a dream). All involve my Antichrist OC, who wasn't supposed to have anything to do with the GO universe, until I had that damn dream.

Another motivatior - so I can work with Maxine (the Antichrist OC) more. After a long consideration, I decided to pair her up with War (in non-crossovers, in those she's with Michael), which is problematic because they're cousins (War's mother is Satan's sister)... You know, whatever. Nobody from Earth knows. It isn't anything uncommon for royalty, either. 🤣 Besides, they're both women (offspring from donors, so no biological threats), and they didn't grow up together. I just... I adore my Antichrists. They're everything to me. Max, forgive me for getting you involved in this madness of an universe, the fanfiction gods compelled me.

Honestly, my other OCs, too. Max's best friend, Cthylla (daughter of Dagon, and... You can guess. He has a habit of oversleeping), her cat Squid, Madonna Maria (a literal jackal with vile temper and a fondness for whiskey, Maxine's biological mother;), Titan the Hellhound, Agnes Device-Pulsifer, Francisco Rossi (the Second Beast, who loathes Aziraphale even more than I do, for absollutely no reason)...

Off with Pollution, Pestilence is being reinstated to his rightful place.

I'm eager to work with canon characters like War, Michael (Legion and GO version), and Hastur - all of who, I adore

I am kind of a hater in this fandom. In the end, I've realized, fanfiction must be written for oneself, not the fandom. I will not apologize for doing what I want, with characters (and their genders) in a fic. Nor for heavily focusing on my OCs (even making them the main focus - it's something that I love doing).

The only thing I do feel some guilt for? I remember Neil Gaiman saying he likes stories where women saves themselves, which I completely agree with, yet Lady Crowley gets saved by others, most of the times... I guess, she's just in situations nobody could save themselves from. Now, her healing is another can of worms maybe that could be counted as her saving herself).

Oh... I hope no one who reads this took it as me attacking them, or mocking them, for liking what I don't. I kind of sounded like someone's evil grandma, threatening to throw their favorite toys in the trash can. 🤣 I'm just writing down my thoughts in an edgy manner. Think of this as a literal angsty, but hopeful diary page.

When I said I'm a "hater", I meant I personally have a very odd, unconventional relationship with Good Omens and it's characters. It's a... "I don't like how you're portraying biblical mythology, but I will always love you". I love Neil Gaiman. I don't know anyone im the fandom anymore, but I all the hearts to them, too. I'm just the designated class contrarian. My stories, like all fanfiction, are seperate universes from canon (and I mean no disrespect to it; the fanfiction wouldn't be here if canon wasn't).

Why do I keep hurting Crowley? I don't know, my relationship with the character is very complicated also. I find him annoying, but I named my stuffed snake after him. 🐍

Why did I write this down and post it? Because I've noticed I'm more likely to get something done after I get on a barrel, and anounce I will. These stories are so fun to write... Fine, that was kind of a lie. I'm picking at Ch. 1 of the dream storyline, and it makes me want to cry.

P.S. - I didn't see season 2, and I have no intention to (though my mom is badgering me to watch it; she's also scolding me for hurting Crowley).

[itsanotheridiot]

Vecna’s motive are super interesting and this all started because of Vecna having Nancy in the palm of his hand and not taking. I feel like this has something to do with whatever mythology Vecna is going by.

The mythology I’m talking abt is the four horsemen of the apocalypse and honestly would not be surprised if it was a inspiration for the duffers. So why am I bring up the four horsemen well people Vecna four main victims could represent each of the horsemen

Chrissy=Famine (Chrissy’s ED)

Fred=Death (Fred’s hit and run that killed some one)

Patrick=War (Help start a war with Hellfire and maybe his family problems)

Max=Pestilence (Vecna described Max as “sick” due to her thought of wanting her abuser to die)

And if the ApocalypseFour do represent the four horsemen this is Vecna greatest flaw because if he didn’t follow this mythology and killed Nancy and made her the fourth victim he would have won.

I also think this is why Vecna attached to the clock he always moving in the past, present, and future but the thread is never broken. One of Vecna main theme is fate.

Hopefully this is explore or Vecna motive and mythology is more explain cause as fuck up as his way of killing the ones suffering the most. It’s interesting as why he chose them of all people when clearly he could have gotten anyone like he shown with Nancy.

@lumaxramblings (they first brought this up the horsemen stuff and I did some more research and was wonder with the whole not killing Nancy)

so i started this episode and when the flowers started coming back to life i thought to myself, if i'm gonna watch some sad timeywimey shit then i'm gonna just go all in and rewatch arrival. and if i'm gonna rewatch arrival, i'm gonna rewatch interstellar. so that's what i did instead. here's attempt #2

sidenote david reed did the story, he was also a writer on the magicians

supernatural s5e19 hammer of the gods (st. david reed, teleplay andrew dabb, daniel loflin)

starting strong. she's so good, great voice

DEAN How you doing?

WOMAN No.

DEAN But--

WOMAN No.

yellowjackets s1 - rekha sharma as jessica roberts

funny little trick of lighting and certain colors, can't say i pay much attention to what they're wearing unless it's an outlier like that white floralish printed button down and the like sam wore in early seasons especially, but thought, i don't recall seeing dean in a brown jacket before

but in this cooler kitchen lighting, it looks green. there was a tiktok going around a few years ago about someone who bought a ... hat? that looked green or brown depending on the lighting. reminds me of that

i appreciate the point of like hey. judeo-christian apocalypse, what about all these other religions that have to deal with the bullshit fallout. BUT like, is big g god who abandoned them in the same hierarchy as these gods? because if not, then hmm. i may not have enough firing brain cells for this thought process, and definitely a general lack of understanding of religion

um random ghostfacers pseudo-but-kinda-not promo? okay.

ps the angel blades to me always looks like super cheap plastic fake chrome things. i try not to laugh every time i see one.

sam's reaction *chef's kiss* padalecki is hitting the spot for me lately with his wtf faces

DEAN I'm outta options. Now on any other given day, I'd be doing my damndest to, uh, kill you. You filthy murdering chimps. But, uh, hey, desperate times. So even though I'd love nothing better than to slit your throats, you dicks, I'm gonna help you. I'm going to help you ice the devil. 

not loving the makeup they went for on decaying vessel lucifer. also do not understand the internal logic of why lucifer can just snuff out a god. little snicker snack twist of the wrist but archangels and their ilk need a special blade otherwise?

makeup looking much better in this mood lighting with some blood spatter. very menacing, to boot

this pestilence bit with the goo is unending. please, we get it. 😩

okay. laughing at myself because i'm just realizing i thought matt frewer was murdock in the original a-team, but no. that was a different dude. dwight schultz. i can't figure out what i originally knew him from, maybe doctor doctor, maybe the stand? something 80s/90s.

altered carbon s1e6 man with my face - matt frewer as carnage

kind of a nod to max headroom there seems like. which, i'm not sure if i ever saw any of the max headroom shows? i just associated the character with coke ads.

the stand (1994) matt frewer as trashcan man

dwight schultz not matt frewer in the a-team

well. i wasn't really expecting that change of heart with gabriel, and swift execution. i like the actor and the character but while i picked up the mushy emotions they were putting down, i also hold a grudge against him for torturing sam for approaching a year with the mystery spot. wish maybe they'd worked on that arc a little longer.

@ppctts | Plotted Starter for Sophie!

Shrouded in darkness, a haze over Kaylee’s mind. The same haze that’s been plaguing her for the last several months. There wasn’t any doubt she was enjoying herself. The power that coursed through her veins was beyond anything she’d ever felt before, even when she would harness the energy around her and max out her strength, it paled in comparison to the Titan magic that released Extremis to its full potential. The very thing her father always feared came to pass and it was his own flesh and blood that did it.

Kaylee donned a silk robe, the hood up as she scanned the waking world around her. Another planet to succumb to her power. She looked thoughtfully to the general by her side. Striding hand in hand, she squeezed his. “We will make this world quake and cower just like the others darling.” she mused gently. All this time, he was still an anomaly to her. Not in the sense that he’d confuse her, but rather in the sense of destiny. So much of her life was a series of dominos being set. A chance encounter with Hydra at a young age. Maybe not so much of a chance now that she thought about it. The scars from her stint ran deeper than she ever knew until the day electrical burns crept back into her arms. 

It frightened her in the beginning. She thought maybe she was going insane, watching black lines crawl up her arms and pulse with a purple hue. Black tar oozing from her fingertips, covering her hands with such putrid filth she’d choke on her screams. But another glance in the mirror and they were gone. She wracked her brain, searching for the catalyst to her transformation. Hydra had planted the seed, had branded her with the mark of one of Death’s horsemen but what exactly broke the seal?

Questions that had little purpose of being answered now that she embraced this new found power. Still she wondered, if Ezekial Stane had never waltzed into her life, had he not taken his own version of extremis and twisted it and tainted it to give himself the raw power to make her father suffer. If Zeke hadn’t broken her heart and shattered her into a million pieces. If he hadn’t painted the blood of innocent people on her hands, would she have been the same woman as before?

A tragic thought. Had those dominos not been placed by fate she never would have been set free. Sure, Lady Death had plans for her. Plans that involved the arrangement of her relationship with the man at her side. Plans to bring about the apocalypse and have every soul in the known universe bowing before her. But who was up there, standing beside Lady Death’s throne, praised for her hard work? Kaylee.

There was a freedom in being seen, in being known so fully. There was freedom in knowing what to expect in return. It was so much better than constantly jumping from one person to the next, putting her heart on the line, only to have it shattered again and again. It was heaven to not have to pretend to be something she wasn’t. The perfect daughter, the protective big sister, the CEO in training, the Avenger. All of these labels and all of them tortured Kaylee in one way or another. Until the label she was born for: Pestilence.

Kaylee released Athan’s hand as the purple lightning bolts cracked under her skin, pouring black ichor from them until it oozed down her finger tips. The one person in the universe she dare not touch with her sickness. Not that Athan couldn’t handle it, but Lady Death had destined them to be together, and Kaylee would never dare her touch to cause him pain. She leaned up to her tiptoes, pressing a feathered kiss to his lips and hopped away, the pupil of her eyes expanding into the white space until there was only darkness remaining. “Hmm I bet my body count is higher.” she hummed with a playful spirit to her partner.

With her feet slightly hovered above the ground, Kaylee took off. With grace and speed she glided - - no danced - - through the air. Those she called friends and family fell below. The black clouds rolled in the sky, blocking out the hope of sunlight. The winds picked up, raindrops flowing sparsely before flying heavily down to the ground below. A single green speck flew up to meet her. Red hair flowing across her face. Kaylee gave a haughty sneer. This is who they sent to fight her? She was hoping for a better fight.

currently thinking about how pestilence is the parallel to max, not only because of how vecna called her "sick", but also because she most likely has thoughts along the lines of how just by being with her, everyone and everything she meets, touches, and interacts with gets hurt or dies, almost like a scourge that infects everything relentlessly—and yet all she wants is to love and be loved, but how does she do that when she think she's just going to taint that exact love she'll give and get?

Carrion Bloom — Sacraments of Pestilence (Transylvanian Recordings)

CARRION BLOOM - SACRAMENTS OF PESTILENCE by CARRION BLOOM

Sacraments of Pestilence, the new EP from Carrion Bloom, commences with sounds drawn from the musical forms that contribute most urgently to the band’s sonic profile. The opening 30 seconds of “Dissolutus” constitute brittle but sweeping guitar tones that you might encounter on any number of demos produced by any number of bands claiming blood-bound allegiance to black metal’s Scandinavian second wave. Things get more interesting when those tones shift into riff mode, and the band charges into crustier territory; the move is confirmed at the song’s 2:20 mark, which may have you flashing on Wolf Brigade’s earlier stuff. Like Carrion Bloom’s Heretic Howl (2021), Sacraments of Pestilence flirts with blackened crust (a sub-subgenre label suggesting a near-incoherent ethos that is painful for this reviewer to invoke, much less try to think) but more often produces black metal songs that romance crust’s affinity for rusty breastplates and muddy, bloody boots.

The players in Carrion Bloom arrive at that array of sounds and sensibilities through their various and circuitous travels in heavy music. Frontman Tucker Zappas was a member of the mighty Fell Voices — a terrific black metal project that seems to be on permanent hiatus (too bad…). Zappas has also played with drummer Max in Oakland-based black metal band Akatharsia. Bass player James Henderson is a stalwart in Oakland’s scene, providing his talents on multiple instruments for artsy doom band Exulansis and a few other projects. The Bay Area stomping grounds have imbued Carrion Bloom’s crusty metal with some local flavor — a hint or two of Skaven, an occasional whiff of Atrament’s distinctive stenchcore.  

Parsing the influences is sort of fun, but eventually, an EP needs good songs. What may be Carrion Bloom’s most convincing aesthetic gets articulated and explored at some length over the EP’s last three tracks, and the EP achieves some real momentum. The pace picks up significantly over those minutes, and a fuzzy, filthy guitar tone reminiscent of Raspberry Bulb’s punkiest stuff gets an energetic workout. “Into the Lungs of Lambs” has a particularly vicious vibe, a couple simple riffs relentlessly played and Zappas’s hoarse bark issuing urgent — if ultimately indistinguishable — utterances.  

The band still seems to be working out some essential questions on Sacraments of Pestilence: the extent to which they want to settle for evoking and patching together past sounds, the precise degree of crusty grandeur they wish to distribute across a heroically scaled horizon. This reviewer likes it when Carrion Bloom keeps things simple. The opening ninety seconds of “Into the Lungs of Lambs” have malice and musicality running through them in nearly equal measure. It’s exciting stuff, hinting at the really good full LP that may emerge at some point down the crusted, pitch-black path.

Vecna's Four Horsemen: Vecna taunted Chrissy with her mother, it's not unrealistic to think she had eating disorder. Making her a fit for Famine. Vecna taunted Fred about being a murderer, it's not the clearest one but he seems like a liar and a hypocrite to me. Toxic behaviour could fit for Pestilence. Patrick was an athlete, considering the athletes were at war with the Hellfire Club. He fits War. Max was tormented about Billy's death, she even thought she deserved to die. She fits Death.

Hmm an interesting theory / concept. I do love the lore of the four horsemen of the apocalypse so I am into this!! Not sure if the Duffers would tie this concept in just because it is based alongside religion and religious imagery and, for the most part, they've strayed away from that, unless you count J*son quoting the bible during the town hall, which if you do then maybe ??? I'll admit, it was kind of jarring to hear him quote the bible like that just because this show has been solely based around D&D and science since the beginning but huh, it's certainly a concept.
