I know..

Let's just get on with things. The 3-day-but-not-really challenge is here with questions 6-10. Enjoy.

6. Do you participate in the fandom? How so? 
 
I draw them. As themselves. Not as furries, girls, or anything. Pickles and his booze, Nathan looking brutal, Skwisgaar and his guitar.
 
7. Admit it. Do you ship anything? If yes or no, why? 
NO. NO, NO, A THOUSAND TIMES NO. It's not my thing, at all. I see wayyyyyy too much Toki/Skwis porn out there, it depresses me.*
 
8. Do you consider yourself a Gear? Why or why not?
I fear my mortality, but...
 
9. Do you have any merchandise?
A shirt. And I have a Revolver Magazine from 2008 with a Dethklok interview.


10. Are the other bands you listen to as brutal as Dethklok?
What kinda question is that? No. Der.





* To anyone reading this who may get offended: please, don't. It's just my opinion. :)

oops.

So much for the idea of the 30 day challenge kicking my ass back into gear here -.- (if any of the 15 or so of you who read this are Metalocalypse fans, you'll notice the pun I unintentionally used in that last sentence...)
Anyways, I posted the challenge Saturday, so it looks like I owe you Sun-today. So here they are.


1.When did you first learn about Dethklok? Did you find the music or series first?

The series. Dethfashion is the first episode I remember seeing, so that should give you some indication of when I stumbled into the series... Adult Swim was normally my go-to thing later at night, so I probably would have ended up finding the show eventually.


2.What was your first reaction to it as a series?

I loved it. The fact that it had a darker vibe/ style really appealed to me.

3.Who is/are your favorite band member(s) and why?

Haha, ok, I really like all of them except Murderface, but I think Nathan would have to be my favorite. He's just all around awesome, even if he does seem like an idiot sometimes. I feel like Pickles and I would be really good friends/ drinking buddies, and he seems to be the smartest of the group. Skwisgaar is hilarious, and Toki...we'd have to be friends from afar, because I don't think he'd be worth losing my life over...

4.Who is/are your favorite non-Dethklok character(s) and why?
Charles, of course. As another blog put it, he's one badass motherfucker.
And  Selactia. It's gonna be very interesting to see where season 5 leads his plan.
Also, do yard wolves count in this? Because I think it's awesome that Dethklok has/have (?) them.




5.List some attributes that you relate to with some of the characters.
Ok..hmm...
Pickles- our alcohol intake. Like I said above, I'm pretty sure he'd be an awesome drinking buddy, though he'd  drink me under the table, probably in a painfully shirt amount of time. Also, his sarcastic nature, like when Murderface caught the firecracker in his bass playing hand (ahp, there goes the band.)

Toki- ha. Probably our maturity levels. We both like simple kiddy stuff like candy and coloring books, lol. I've also started slipping 'wowee' into my work vocabulary.

Skwisgaar-I don't  know that we're that much alike, truthfully. Although he s pretty damn sarcastic at times, as am I...if I think about more, I'll add them later.

Murderface- blargh. We both have tattoos. And we can both be assholes...though I'm nowhere near as bad as him.

Nathan- It can be hard for me to apologize too, bc I'm insanely silent. We both  like chips. We both write...huh, I thought there's be more. Kinda weird..oh well.

Going to take things in a different direction for a bit

...to hopefully get me motivated  to update more often. My new job has basically claimed my soul 40 hours a week. It's a good thing, because it's an awesome job, and it means I'm finally having decent income coming in...but it also means I don't always have times for things like my blog :( and that makes me sad. So I thought I'd try this.

I'm a huge fan of Metalocalypse. HUGE. I think it's got awesome, relatable characters, and fucking amazing music. So in honor of that (combine with the fact that I don't use Tumblr, which is where this seems to have originated), I present to you:
