By similar I mean both in being catchy and in theme (Aliens and shit, could be cosmic horror too) gonna be honest, it's the only song I liked from that album.

I like trigger alot, but it feels short

And it's still not finished

For the gist of it: it's a dark fantasy epic that spans 10 - 14 years. Starting off as a characters revenge tale and by the end the character is one of the horsemen of the apocalypse and being a man of faith by both fate and will. Takes place in ancient era of the world, with 5 mythologies co existing in an earth that's as big as the real life observalable universe with the countries/ lands being thier own pocket universes on the earth, the demons and creatures of folktales and myths be eldritch creatures that take form of beasts due to human minds couldn't be able to comprehend thier true form. Main character goes into Biblical wars and mythical tales, fighting gods, old ones etc. all myths have thier own version of hell, heaven and reaper/ death god, these places are basically a waiting room for true heaven and hell that the actual angel of death takes souls to, but it won't happen until judgement day when all the myths heaven and hell gets destroyed in that battle. Also there's an explanation of humans evolving and keep evolving but I'm not gonna spoil that. Also there was a battle that happened with the antagonist that was so massive/ overwhelming that it causes the timeline of the universe that the story is set in to clash the present with the past and future (end of ancient era future I mean) so some historical figures and battles may clash and collide/ overlap. There's so much more to tell but it'll be a long ass para. I don't know what was I on when I wrote this back in 2022 and present. The folder has almost 800 paragraphs of explaining the world building, lore, characters, events and how things were created (like I have a literal para explaining why salt is a demon repellent in this world due to it being the most pure and simple mineral etc). This is more so a passion project for me since I love dark fantasy, cosmic horror, myths. The focus is more on the smaller moments between characters rather than the over the top grand scale action (which there is, and when I mean over the top I mean the main character scaling the limbs of the monster Typhon from Greek myth while fighting off an army of werewolves using a literal crucifix in each hand, yea it's stupidly over the top.) but the focus i always had was more on the character writing, building and development, the action is just set peices to hype up the reader. I already had the bittersweet ending planned since day one, just need to lead up everything to it. Hopefully I do complete it without rushing and take my time. I guess wish me luck? Or rather give me advice and tips, I would rather much appreciate that.

I've been trying to find YouTube vids or posts about this topic but can't find much, so I just decided to ask it. This always interested me, like what to people mean when they say that a bands music production isn't the best, or what rearranging means, or how do they record a song, like togethor? Separate? In a small room? At thier house? What about selling it/ making album covers

I'm gonna probably get hate for liking this band (happened in MFTM Sub) but I don't mind it. Anyways, as I was saying: did Powerwolfs newer albums get lighter? Like don't get me wrong the songs are still good but I'm almost always listening to these albums since they have crunchier riffs and drums I guess:

Blessed and possesed

The sacrament of Sin

Blood of the saints

Bible of the beast

Lupus Dei

(Wolves of war I love too from interludium)

But is there any similarities in these albums music/ theme wise? I love the orchestral versions too, and the gothic vibe

This album has quite Catchy riffs so I wanna get more stuff like this

Prefer them to have tradational Chinese music between the metal, y'know like in the beginning or middle or before the chorus, and be catchy I guess? Like children of Bodom, brymir, aether realm, old in flames type catchy, power metal ones work too for me, even something like melodic metalcore like All that Remains too would would

People say it's a hybrid of power metal/ metalcore/ melodeath, which if it is? It explains why I listen to them alot

(I'm 21M) He has always seen me as a failure since I was never good at studies and had a huge gap year after my mom passed away, he taunted me at anything i did for that, which led me to avoid him and hate him and I still hate him, now it's gotten alot less worse than before after mom's passing, he tries to hide it, like a facade but it cracks whenever I make mistakes, or fail my studies or can't complete my education. I had failed 3 tests of my 1st semester and passed 2 tests, he didn't even acknowledge the passed one and had a full lashout of me being a failure, him wasting money on me, I could feel the resentment and disappointment and disgust from him, and I remember almost snapping and beating him, but I stayed quiet and didn't say anything or do anything, this degration went on for days until I got good bands on my IELTS and his mood changed, saying that he knew I was always smart and etc. not mentioning the fact that he said that I'll "fail" IELTS too like everything else. I'm depressed because of him, I get anxiety nausea because of him, and was even suicidal because of how low and useless he made me feel, he wouldn't support me emotionally when I was studying, rather degraded me and put me down saying I'll fail this test and every test after it. And he doesn't believe in that stuff. The only reason I haven't snapped fully and bashed his head with a pan is because I need him financially, he doesn't let me do jobs because it's the work of "Slaves" and my current situation in the country is quite bad at the moment, I don't know of therapy is worth it. At the moment he's being all sweet and kind, giving me money and telling me I'll get into uni, but the second something happens? Like me not getting accepted or him founding out I failed something? His whole facade brwakws down and the insults, degration and resentment starts pouring out of him. Sometimes I get scared of myself, that one day that I'll do something real bad in an angry fit. May god guide me and keep me level headed and mature than this man.

Just wondering, I'm a guy and I have minimal hair on my upper body (lower body is jungle book we don't talk about that) only my forearms, and that treasure trail are the very hairy part of me, elsewhere I'm kinda bare, which for some reason my relatives couldn't believe (I was wearing shalwar kameez with the buttons open cuz it was hot af here) and they asked me if I shaved my chest, since all my cousins are quite hairy ig? I just told them no and they ofcourse didn't believe me. Wtf. Anyways both guys and girls can reply to the post, plus let me know the struggles of being very hairy/ not hairy, and how you deal with them.

I feel like her story isn't finished, plus it would tie with living in Griffiths kingdom, and she might help guts in some way since I'm pretty sure guts sees his younger self in her (somewhat) I might be just coping since lost children (and whole conviction arc) is my favorite arc

Ok so this isn't meant to be some sexist or gender war thing, this thought has been at the back of my mind for a while now, so feel free to correct my illiterate self and educate me on my wrongs, and if there are any professionals here in the medical field do also give your thoughts/ correct me. Thanks. And if this post is violating the rules, take it down/report it please.

(I'm a guy btw) So since men on average have higher metabolism than women and more muscle mass it would be a natural assumption that they born more calories and it's easier for them to be in shape/ lose weight, but most guys I've seen when walking down the street and in places have beer belly's, pot bellys, or are just skinny fat whereas the girls I mostly see are slim. I don't know if it has to do with most men doing sedentary job (which alot of women also do) or pressure of beauty standards on women for decades, or maybe it's just how fat distributes on men, most men store fat on their lower back and abdomen while most women (from what I've heard) store fat in thier thighs/glutes I think? Which makes thier upper body appear slimmer. What do you guys think? I'd appreciate you guys' thoughts on this, and I'm sorry if I sound sexist or like a douche, that's not my intention. Thanks.
