Live Review: Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs at O2 Ritz in Manchester 30 September 2023

Words: Andy Hughes It seems like only yesterday that we were packed into the Star and Garter in Manchester to watch this relatively new band with a funny name creating a proper racket to a rapt crowd. Well, they were relatively new to us at least, but at that point we were catching Geordie lot Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs on their ascent. Darlings of BBC 6 Music (favoured by the one and…

Maybe Apollo still keeps his journals from when he initially started discovering medicine and (depending on the way you look at it) they are either very worrying or the FUNNIEST thing ever.

#1:

Oh boy Artemis and I are gonna try out this technique I saw in the future where you cut a body and take out all the bad stuff then sew it back up and then they’re good as new!

#2:

WARNING: THE GOO NEEDS TO STAY IN

(don’t worry they gave them anaesthetic beforehand and they’re completely fine afterwards they fix them up and now they have special rapid healing powers and also their own lil religion thing going on!)

#Apollo #artemis #medicine #gore #That’d be so funny / terrifying if that was how Apollo met one of his exes #can you IMAGINE #Apollo recounting this to Asclepius n he’s like: 🙂… 😱 #ALTERNATIVELY Asclepius reads his dad’s old medical books for his own research and encounters this . He labels them “MEDICAL MALPRACTICE” #And replaces Apollo’s name with “MR MALPRACTICE >:((((“ #(Referencing this reminding me of a myth of him getting upset in the myth where Asclepius’s priests/doctors removed a tapeworm from a woman #by cutting her head off but Then went “oh no. Oh no. How do we put this back on and Asclepius got SO MAD) #fav

Hello again! I’m back for another request, if that’s okay (the last one I asked anonymously tho, but I’m choosing to expose myself this time). So maybe an interaction between Medicine Pocket and Lilya? I feel like they would either be frienemies that seem like they’re beefing, or they’re actually beefing with each other (it’s pretty chaotic either way). Like, Lilya would just laugh when Medpoc tries to insult her and say stuff like “Okay, buddy. Go pet some puppies or something.”

YOU ARE SO RIGHT….. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 The sillies!

Dracula is so dependent on the characters being British. Let me tell you had Mrs. Westerna been Balkan she'd have seen Lucy in her garlic wreath and immediately returned with 2 more cloves for each nostril

Who says writers need to do medical research? Just write like the greats and use

Classic Writer Medical Tropes

including such useful plot devices as

Having Too Many Emotions gave her a nebulous physical illness that nearly killed her

She had an actual physical illness or disability, but the Power of Love cured her

She had an illness, but I gave her a medicine (no further details needed)

#books #mr. harrison's confessions was cute but when it came to the medical stuff it was funny how vague it was #'she had an illness that was growing fatal' #'i consulted with a doctor who prescribed a dangerous medicine' #like lizzy darling you are allowed to do any research at all

some of you guys have such weak ass immune systems 😭 WDYM YOURE PASSING OUT AND THROWING UP

#mr. o'whora babbles like an idiot ! #just use some vaporub cold ass water w ice and have an ac blow in your face and thug it out #literally what i do #sometimes i use medicine but usually we thug it out #yeah this is directed at a certain MACTAVISH USER #STOP DYING #AND GET /BETTER/!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a sudden great need to talk about Captain Marvel and his villains with you, bc something about them seemed connected in a grander scheme of things to me and it's late at night right now but I needed to sing about this

Dr. Sivana - (movie version) A man who in his childhood was teleported against his will and essentially temporarily kidnapped to a strange and horrifying place in the middle of the night, forced to be tested for something he had no idea about but continued to be called delusional and insane for when speaking about it to anyone. Driving him mad for being unworthy, feeling like he was rotten despite the circumstances out against him were unfair at the time in his eyes. That moment stayed with him permanently, keeping him locked in that memory forever, never truly growing up, but also losing his heart.

Mr. Mind - In most versions he is an alien or magical creature, but in one version I was told about, apparently he was an abused child who loved to read as an escapism. One day he accidentally ended up in a magical room, where he was transformed into what we now know as Mr. Mind. Human experimentation as a child, possibly. Never having a chance to live as a child and forced to grow up into something he did not want to become, but had to.

Chain Lightning - From what I heard from you, Chain Lightning is a girl with multiple personalities, one (or more) of them being villainous in nature, but one of them being genuine and in love with a boy. Trapped in her own body and mind, a child who has no will of her own to live her life as she wants to.

Lady Blaze/Satanus - Children fathered and abandoned by the wizard. For reasons, I do not know yet, I'm still researching, but this sounds like serious issues that caused them to go mad, vengeful that they were not seen as worth anything in their father's eyes to leave them their "rightful inheritance" after his passing.

Sinclair Batson - A reanimated puppet made by Lady Blaze, a wish by Ebeneezer Batson. A false son. No childhood given, no innocence given, just given a purpose to fo as he is told by people he does not know in a world he does not know.

Black Adam - An ancient and crusty old man, who, in his mortal life, murdered his own nephew for the power he coveted and was not meant to be his. He took the life of the child he was meant to protect and love, and yet when the child protected him instead, he returned the act with malice. The boy was chosen as champion, for the sake of the world, an innocent boy, and the world ripped him apart via his own family.

And then, there's Billy Batson. Orphaned, foster child, homeless (depending on the version), and alone. A child that the world does not see and is also against at the same time somehow. He struggles so hard to find a place in the world for himself, but remains pure of heart during all the bad times. He refuses to become as rotten as the people who see him suffering and ignore him. When he is chosen, it is not by his choice. He did not know what he was in for, and became a superhero with more responsibility and power than he was ready for at his young age. He did not consider himself able to have a childhood before, but WITH the powers he had now?? He couldn't ever think about being a kid ever again.

Just. Them. The theme of lost innocence and being forced to grow up, or the event in childhood ruining them forever and that event being the catalyst for so much more.

At one point in all of those origins for those characters, there were children who needed help, guidance, love, understanding, etc. But they were never given any of that, and look at what happened in the end. Billy seems to be the only one who managed to turn out good, but he could have been so different

Sorry if this is a lot and if there's spelling errors or mistakes, this is just something I wanted to talk about for a long time, and something I'll make my own post about at another time, but I felt like you would have great insight on this

Okay so I've been thinking about this all day because childhood innocence (and the loss of it) have always been a central theme of Captain Marvel’s comics.

This got very long so I'm putting my analysis under the cut.

In captain marvel comics, unlike in other places, innocence isn't equated with naivete or stupidity. Billy is a very innocent character in the grand scheme of things, but he's both very competent and savvy to the issues people faced. This childhood innocence, which is reflected in Captain Marvel’s own behavior even when they are separate people, is about doing the right thing, about not succumbing to things like selfishness and anger even when it's tempting to do so.

And your last point about Billy being the only one to turn out "good" is really important because it's why he was chosen to have these powers in the first place! He was pure of heart not just because he was good and kind, but because he continued to be that way even when he faced hardships that can (and often do) lead people down a darker path.

Now let's talk villains.

The movie versions of Billy and Dr Sivana have very clear and explicit parallels with each other. I think his story is the clearest in terms of how a loss of childhood innocence/trauma can haunt a person throughout their life. His lack of control of those circumstances is definitely one of the biggest factors in why he became obsessed with this one moment, a moment he believes his life was unfairly ruined.

I can't say I'm familiar with the version of Mr Mind you mentioned here, but based on what you've mentioned it's really interesting that his appearance and his powers are from something out of his control. Ironically he is now able to control others, continuing the cycle of abuse.

As for Chain Lightning (Amy is the main alter) is like many characters who canonically have DID in that her alters exist in part to protect her inner child (one of her other alters), to take on any pain or suffering in order to keep their childhood innocence in tact.

Lady Blaze and Satanus take after their mother, a demoness who may or may not have used magic to seduce him. His immediate and continued rejection of them, his assumption that they were evil from birth, certainly had an impact on them and the people they became. They never got to be innocent because Shazam wrote them off as evil from the start. Their insistence that they are owed his power and his place in the Rock of Eternity can be read as them longing for connection to a father that abandoned them and proving they were worthy of wielding his powers despite his rejection. (I'm starting to sense an additional theme of needing to feel worthy in Shazam's eyes but that's another post)

Sinclair exists in an unnatural and not fully autonomous state. He is Ebenezer's child first and foremost even if he isn't actually a child at all. He lost his innocence somewhere between death and resurrection.

And then there's Black Adam. There are a number of different versions of his story but all of them revolve around loss. Whether it's the loss of a child (his nephew or son) or the loss of his wife or brother, he gave into his pain. He have up on childish things like doing what's right and let himself be lost to his own worst impulses.

I think on top of the theme of innocence there's also this parallel theme of autonomy, of wanting male your own choices but having someone or something else taking that control away from you. Which definitely resonates with children who often don't have much control of their circumstances.

This was a lot but the English nerd in me loves talking about themes~

#ask me whatever you want y'all #billy batson #shazam #dc captain marvel #black adam #dr sivana #mr mind #lady blaze and satanus #chain lightning #sinclair batson #theres just so many ways to explore these characters #and childhood innocence and loss is a really good one #how many of these characters would still be villains if they had full autonomy or at least a choice in how their life unfolds #also im a little sick and have been drinking cold medicine so i might nkt be fully coherent

I know were all having fun hating on Mrs. Westerna but like what if she walked into Lucy’s room and was just like ‘??? did that strange, dutch doctor decide to bring Lucy a bunch of get well soon flowers and he choose garlic?? well he is eccentric but I can barely breath in here.’ Like flowers are a common gift to the ill and Van Helsing is certainly eccentric enough that I can believe she just thought he was doing this out of the goodness of his weird dutch heart.

#dracula daily #like there are other reasons van helsing could have brought flowers besides medicinal treatment #and like he would!! #van helsing would just bring random bouquets of wild garlic! #mrs westerna must have just thought haha the dutch are weird

The Doctor, Acro / Nikolai Colress

His appearance is based off The Vessel's outfit- which is funny to me, since The Vessel's outfit is inspired by canon Colress' outfit .. except he has more gold on him than white!

Notes:

Though these are his BW2 clothes, the cracked glasses and skin only happen after his battle with the Aspertia Trio, so this is like near the end of BW2, just before the battle at Giant Chasm.

The cracks on his skin are sealed through kintsugi, as it is with his Beheeyem.

Instead of The Vessel's angel wings, Nikolai's tailcoat is inspired by butterfly wings! He ditches the coat most of the time for mobility purposes- his turtleneck underneath has no sleeves.

His gloves are arm-length, and they're meant to conceal the cracks on his skin as well as his stigmata.

His binds on his arms and legs serve the same purpose as they do with The Vessel's- they're meant to keep him together and from breaking completely.

I keep forgetting his height, other than he's shorter than Blur/Blight N and Ghetsis- probably 5'6.

#Pokemon #BW/BW2 Rewrite - Blur / Blight #Pokemon Black and White 2 #My Art #Team Plasma Colress #((He reminds me of a Frosmoth .. I should give him one. It will terrorize BOTH Giima and Cheren which is. In-character /j)) #((Anyway I wanted to try drawing him fully after I doodled him earlier so here he is!)) #((Yes this is the Lower palette but the purples are replaced with blues ....)) #((Well. At least MR has a valid reason for giving Vessel an ELABORATE outfit. Nikolai designed it with his own condition in mind)) #((Which makes sense. Same medicine and all))

anyway MC’s habit of giving Victor silly little trinket gifts is so sweet and shows that she understands him and what he desires from a friend or partner (even if he protests and doesn’t give the action immediate positive feedback, which also shows that she knows him well enough to know when he’s just being obstinate)

like, truly, what do you give a man who has everything? you give him your time—which isn’t in short supply for Victor Li, but maybe he needs to be reacquainted with the value of it. you give him your understanding—a rare and precious gift for the brooding CEO, no one understands him. and, of course, you give him things he’d never even think to want—a hair clip, a cutesy apron, a silly keychain.

the true gift of the little trinkets is what they represent: that MC is thinking of him, that MC doesn’t fear him (who else would dare to give the terrifying CEO of LFG a bow for his hair?), that MC wants to impose herself upon him. the quality of the gifts is irrelevant, it’s the sheer number of them, it’s how silly they are.

one of Victor’s main motifs is the golden souvenir camel that he buys for MC on a trip, so I don’t think it’s a coincidence that gifts are so important to the couple. they’re a microcosm through which we can understand Victor and MC’s relationship.

with Victor’s gifts he says, “here, i thought of you.” (simple, straightforward, he knows that she knows)

with MC’s gifts, she’s says, “here, i thought of you, i thought of you, i thought of you, think of me, let me in, you’re letting me annoy you, i can tell that you care” (persistent, she knows that he takes some time to open up, she knows that putting up with her quirks is his love language)
