Dwi'n dysgu Cymraeg
Tonight was my first in person Welsh class. Many years ago (like 12) I took a class here and I learned a little. I'm coming into this one with a lot of Duolingo to unlearn. I still am rubbish at pronouncing the ll, ch and dd sounds. like pure hot garbage. Ah well. There are about 20 people in it (the online one filled entirely) I'm excited because it's something new to do.
I ended up not going to vote in the primary since almost all the democrats are running unopposed so it wasn't worth the drive. The Republicans, on the other hand, were described nationally as a 'knife fight in Ohio' and it's true. There are the OMG stop the Maga Republicans faction of the republicans (more power to them) and the 'you fucking traitors, you should be killed' Maga crowd.
About had a frakking stroke tonight. My computer went black while I was doing something and wouldn't boot. I was literally about to cry. After calming down (this isn't more than 15 months old) I thought 'maybe it came unplugged' Yep that was it but why it didn't give me a low power warning I wish I knew.
So fannish 50 this week more on Hazbin Hotel. I was unaware that a) this is a long process to get to the show b) there are comics c) a four year old pilot which wasn't really brought into the Prime video 8 episode S1 d) eight shows? Come on, I know things are different on streamers but that is too short by anyone's standards.
8 episodes made world building hard and as is my way I went to fandom wiki and YT to mainline some stuff in case there is fic (there'll be fic but I'm sure it will be like a lot of my fandoms, short fic, character studies, I don't think this will be a long fic fandom for me) and that's where I was hearing YT analyses talking about things I had no idea about, like Alastor and Angel's backgrounds. I do think it's a failing that NONE of this made it into the actual show. (More on Angeldust's background in my writerly ways because it got me thinking)
It's probably part of the extremely short S1 run time and the fact that this has been out there for years before finally getting picked up that it was assumed people would know. That is probably a less than excellent way to approach this. Some of the characters have some rich character development and it's sad not to see it. But here, VGMarkis (who I ran into in his analyses from The Owl House) sums up my entire feeling about the speed (warning NSFW by any stretch of the imagination)
While I'm not huge into musicals but I will admit it a) does work well in Hazbin b) has some snappy tunes. If you look there is someone w ho put them ALL into a Youtube (at the moment until they get copyrighted) but I'm sharing three of my favorite songs (and three of my favorite characters and if anyone cares to know if I were to ship any of the dudes it would be Husk/Angel)
First up is Angel's big number, Poison. Warnings: Angel is a BDSM porn star in hell, there is nudity, rough sex, dub-con, non-con, abusive relationship. The dude in the red jacket is Valentino (if I were ever tempted to cosplay this insanely hard to cosplay show it would either be Charlie or Valentino), the powerful hell overlord who owns Angel's soul and is very much about punishing him sexually (definitely a villain in the show) I love the fan theory that the red drool is a form of moth pheromone and is used as a love potion/date rape drug (you do see Angel drooling red though in his case it's probably blood vs potion) You will have to follow the link to Youtube to see this because it's too adult)
The Husk/Angel duet is no more safe for work (or general consumption) than Poison was. Losers is still sweary and sexually oriented
And then there's Stayed Gone, it's a villainous showdown between Alastor (love him so much and you can get his missing info (that he died in the 30s) just from his radio voice stylings) and Vox (along with Valentino and Velvet, the Vees) Alastor is so delightfully creepy (If I'm honest, Vox doesn't work as a character, maybe because he doesn't get enough screen time due to the very compressed run time)
