Metalocalypse

[HolyLoliSoul]

I can almost hear and see it in my mind.  Might make for a good fanfic.

But here's a good topic: is the world Dethklok lives in a reason for their immense fame there?  It's such a f*cked-up place that it could have only spawned the members of Dethklok and given them so much.

But conversely, has Dethklok also shaped their world to fit their images?  They definitely have the money and influence.

SKWISGAAR: Babies ams whats makes me shows up IN COURT: greedies MOTHERS ams wants me to pays them CHILDS SUPPORT!

PICKLES: How do yoo support a child, anyway?

GRANDMOTHER!!!

FINIS (for now...I went to San Diego this morning; it's late in the afternoon and my brains FRIED!)

[HolyLoliSoul]

Hey, you're still alive! How'd that happen?

Good as always.

[bndud]

That's a super interesting point... How much of a hand did Dethklok play in causing the world to be fuuuuuudgeed up?

I think evidence points to the world already having been fuuuuuudgeed up, pre-Dethklok. The Tribunal seems to have existed Pre-Dethklok, so it implies the world is fuuuuuudgeed up enough that they would need a secret world order.

The Metal-masked assassin seemed to have existed pre-Dethklok, and he was super fuuuuuudgeed up.

Murderface's father killed his wife and himself, which is super fuuuuuudgeed up, but isn't totally fuuuuuudgeed up in an otherworldly, would-never-happen-in-reality way. Husband/wife murder/suicedes happen all the time...

This is a very interesting question, thank you for it.

[HolyLoliSoul]

Welcome. You make a lot of good points. The Tribunal has been keeping the world blind, deaf, and dumb for a long time, and Dethklok is actually helping the world move from under the oppressive thumb, albeit unknowingly.

Ol' Metalface was a pretty bad dude, though we have no idea how he became that way. I wouldn't want to live in the same world as him now, even if he's disappeared from the show.

And actually, each Dethklok member has had a pretty bad life...except maybe Nathan, who was just born brutal.

So maybe Dethklok's world could change for the better. Certainly brokering peace between Syria and Palestine (correct me if I'm wrong) was a huge step in the right direction.

It was Syria and Israel.

[HolyLoliSoul]

That's right. I always get Israel and Palestine mixed up.

And here's another thing I thought of: Dethklok lives in a world that's already predisposed to enjoying metal. Seems to be a pretty good lack of regard for human life and suffering under the Tribunal's reign. That probably explains why Dethklok's brutality has made them such a powerful force in their world...plus CFO can take plenty of credit for that.

[klokateer513]

Actually, you're forgetting: Nathan didn't speak until he was five...he was horrible in high school except for football and frog dissection. Rose is over-bearing and Oscar...even though Nathan says he loves him, he didn't in the first season.

I kind of think Nathan may have some sort of learning disability as a kid or possibly something like Asparger's Syndrome, which is a form of autism.

[HolyLoliSoul]

I can understand Nathan not talking; what did he have to say before five? Plenty of things are dildos at that age.

And despite him failing high school (which is why, as I recall, he had to get his G.E.D.), I can't imagine that a football player like Nathan would have been unpopular; it's practically default for high school football players, even the most brutal ones.

I'll give you his parents on that one; Rose definitely fits in with the Dethklok moms as being pretty terrible and manipulative. While Nathan didn't seem fond of his dad in the first season, I reckon that he and his dad reconciled off-screen. Besides, Nathan hates everyone in varying degrees; he built a whole relationship on it.

But I also have Asperger's, and I can relate to Explosion. Life s*cks, and then you die, and then maggots eat your breasts. We share that viewpoint in common.

Plus, I can imitoot him exarctly.

Well, Albert Einstein did not talk until he was also around five like Nathan and he was discovered to have dyslexia...he was also horrible in school, with the exception of mathematics.

Rose practically breathes down Nathan's neck...watch the Deth Familes episode and look at the way Nathan was sitting when Rose asked if he remembers one of his neighbors..the one whose feet got amputated.

As for Oscar...true, they "drank beer and went hunting", but methinks Nathan's covering up (like Toki does when he talked about his parents in the Dory Mc Clean episode from season 3) and doesn't want people to know what really went on with his family.

[HolyLoliSoul]

That's fair. I love shooting some Einstein factoids around.

And yes, Rose was pretty insufferable. Maybe if my mother were terrible, I would be a billionaire death metal singer...in a few years.

And maybe Nathan was covering up, though those scenes of him and his dad together makes me think Nathan may genuinely have enjoyed it. Remember, he has shown some concern for at least one other human life when he didn't have to: that dentist. I suspect Nathan could have just found another dentist, but he put himself out there for that guy.

Of course, it ended badly.

[bndud]

Another small note... Nathan was elected class president in what looked like middle school, so he couldn't be that unpopular.

[HolyLoliSoul]

A strong, silent leader was what Florida needed then and when Nathan came back to totally f*ck sh*t up.

[klokateer513]

Nathan was elected class president when he was in SECOND GRADE at Exhorder Elementary School!

NATHAN: (Bristles and winces) School....(Shudders)

Later...much, much later:

DK is in CFO's office. A makeshift blackboard is behind their fearless leader/pie-guy. Dk is seated in chairs and are behind desks.

CFO: (Holding a yardstick) Class...come to order.

Murderface throws a paper airplane that lands on top of CFO's bespectiled head. The 'teacher' responds by raising his yardstick...and using it to SMACK Murderface's knuckles.

MURDERFACE: YOW! (Expletive....you know the drill)

DK laughs at Murdderface's pain...FINIS

[HolyLoliSoul]

I like your commitment to this ensemble piece.

Don't forget, Nathan hated his dad, but then Explosion Sauce changed all that.

Maybe that was some truth in advertising for once.

Must be either the cilantro or the Carolina mustard that bought on the reconciliation...just hope it doesn't do the same with Nathan and Rebecca Nightrod (YUK...HER!!!!)!!!

[thegrapepersuasion]

See, I wanna see fic of this now.... Do you mind if I create a post about this on my new LJ community for sharing prompts, metalbandwagon? I'll totally cite you.

[FinShaggy]

No.
The world is already ACTUALLY fuuuuuudgeed up. Like REALLY IT IS.
They are famous, because people are sick as **beast**.

Yeah, but it could totally be worse. Way to underachieve, Earth.

Earth...underachiever and proud of it.
