Lord of the Seventh: Baalzebul, Lord of the Flies

CR 30

Lawful Evil Large Outsider

Bestiary 6, pg. 16-17 (image taken from the Complete Book of the Damned, page 28 obviously)

While Baalzebul here has a perfectly good and accessible picture online that doesn’t require sloppy editing, I feel like the Lord of the Flies would be insulted if I didn’t use this particular piece for him, one of the better illustrations in the entirety of the Complete Book of the Damned. Just look at that imperious angle! You can practically FEEL the command to kneel radiating off it. You’re not good enough to look upon the greatest of the Archdevils in his entirety. He doesn’t have Overwhelming Presence, but he may as well! Any winged creature that attempts attacking him has to make a DC 39 Will save to do anything but fall to their knees and praise him, which suits him just fine.

Sin isn’t quite the wheelhouse of the devils, y’know, that’s more of a demon thing. The Archdevils don’t match up entirely to the Seven Deadly Sins (mostly because there’s nine of them), though Mammon is clearly Greed, while Asmodeus handily embodies Pride. Without that particular design restriction holding him back, Baalzebul is freely allowed to embody all of them at once. Unassailable pride, bottomless greed, endless gluttony, wasteful lust, burning wrath, frigid envy, and hand-wringing sloth can each be found somewhere in the churning mass of the Lord of Flies, his entire being convinced he’s absolute perfection and deserves to rule and command all else... all the while Asmodeus keeps a hand firmly on his head and prevents him from rising an inch higher. One of three beings to be crafted by Prince of Darkness directly and the only one to have been made before the Exodus, Baalzebul is Asmodeus’ greatest enforcer, his most powerful warrior, his most useful tool, and rightfully feared even by the other Archdevils.

Unfortunately, for all the glory he’s brought Hell, his demands to rule alongside Asmodeus ran counter to the Prince’s desire to be at the absolute top of the pyramid above all else, and Baalzebul was summarily swatted to the ground hard enough to shatter into millions of pieces for his ego. His beauty and physical perfection stolen from him and his creators’ intentions made painfully clear, did Hell’s Angel humbly thank his master for sparing his life despite his hubris? Of course not. Now he works harder than ever to curry his master’s favor in the vain hope that one day he may break through Amodeus’ exterior and be viewed as a partner rather than a pawn.

That day will never come. Asmodeus knows it. Part of Baalzebul knows it. It drives him to endless frustration, frustration he takes out on any creature that doesn’t show him the complete submission and respect he’s owed by all beings, striking them down with cold steel, cold swarms, and the coldest magic in the multiverse until they learn to kneel.

And when I say “coldest,” I mean it. We’ve all seen at least four fire-based boss monsters with abilities that let them bypass Fire Resistance and immunity, and there’s plenty more I haven’t yet covered or forgot about! Fire’s popular! But Cold? Cold is right there in second place, and is resisted or outright ignored by more or less any creature that lives too far north, south, up (space), or down (caverns). Protection from Fire practically rains from the sky, and Cold isn’t far behind... Which is why Baalzebul has the coldest Cold you can have. His Hellfrost divides all his Cold damage in half; one half normal, one half the unholy damage we’ve all come to know and love, irresistible and doubly-damaging to any creature with the Good subtype. However, his comes with a unique caveat: Hellfrost’s unholy damage does nothing to Devils, allowing him to freely blast his own troops with his Quickened Freezing Sphere or Empowered Cone of Cold (both 3/day) without risk. ... well, without MUCH risk, since Empowered CoC deals an average of about 80 damage, which means Devils in the area risk taking 40, and only a scant few Devils are actually immune to Cold. Not even Pit Fiends are fully immune!

But their lives are worth it in the long run. Asmodeus needs only perfection in his army, and if they’re too weak to survive the magic of Hell’s Angel, they wouldn’t have served well anyway. If Baalzebul needs precision, he has Icy Prison at will, and it’s all he really needs; 30 Cold damage a round to a single target even if they successfully save until they untangle themselves from the ice? There’s little else he needs as the party closes in, just casually pinging them one at a time with a Save-and-Suck. Casters who, for some reason, are without Freedom of Movement (and why wouldn’t you have that on 24/7?!) likely lack both the Reflex save to dodge the initial cast and the ability to succeed the DC 45 Strength check needed to break out of the ice (or the entanglement that occurs even if they succeed), giving Baalzebul room to cast even more dangerous spells.

Spells like... well, being honest, though, the stars of Baalzebul’s spell-likes aren’t the ones that utilize his Hellfrost: He can confound many parties with an at-will Greater Invisibility, granting him 30 rounds of a shroud that won’t break if he Full-Attacks or casts spells, and probably one of the worst spells you can possibly see on a boss’ spell list that’s not Time Stop (which he also has, mind): Mass Suffocation 1/day. A single failed save against Mass Suffocation spells certain death for any character who can’t get the thing dispelled, their lives now on a dangerous ticking clock, because unless they can succeed a DC 31 Fortitude save every round for *checks math* 30 rounds, they’re dropped to 0 HP their very next failure, and effectively dead the round after. Notably, being afflicted by Suffocation prevents you from speaking at all, reducing your ability to communicate with your party and, more importantly, preventing you from using any abilities requiring your voice. No Bardic music, no shouts of inspiration, no spells with verbal components.

Baalzebul seems to have a thing for throttling people, which makes sense! He has to be dangerous, and there’s nothing more dangerous at any level than being strangled to death. It works on any creature that needs to breathe and kills in, essentially, 2 rounds. The Lord of the Flies can collapse into four squares of flies in any arrangement he requires and recorporate as needed, his Suffocating Swarm form dealing 7d8+26 damage to everything that begins its turn inside it and forcing all damaged creatures to make DC 42 Fortitude save or become nauseated and afflicted by Suffocation (the normal, 3-round version, not the 30-round Mass version). He can potentially severely ruin a party’s plan by Greater Teleporting right on top of them and dissolving into his Suffocating Swarm to strike four of them at once (or being in swarm form to begin with; it doesn’t stop him from using his spell-likes!), recorporating on his next turn and delivering his painful Full-Attack.

Baalze’s weapon of choice for delivering pain is a +5 Adamantine Good-Outsider-Bane Icy Burst Unholy Longsword, a ridiculously long weapon name with decent damage because of its size: 2d6+24+1d6 Cold! 3d6+24+1d6 versus Good targets, 5d6+26+1d6 versus Good Outsiders, and it critically strikes on a 17 or higher. On a crit, that’s +1d10 Cold damage for just an additional push. While not exactly on par with Moloch or Geryon’s melee power, he’s fully able to deliver a Full-Attack and then discorporate into his Suffocating Swarm for extra off-turn damage.

Speaking of off-turn damage, whether he’s solid or in swarm form, the first time any creature damages him with an unarmed, touch, or natural attack, his Biting Blackflies quickly swarm them, chewing into their bodies for 7d6 damage and threatening to nauseate them if they fail a DC 42 Fortitude save. The flies tenaciously cling to everyone they damage, dealing 7d6 more damage on the victim’s next turn, and if they keep attacking the Lord of Flies, that train will just keep on rolling. If he keeps his movements short and sweet--less than 5ft a round--his swarm expands outwards to cover a 10ft bubble around him, afflicting all creatures who enter or begin their turn in the bubble with his Blackflies.

And it does without saying, but I’ll say it anyway, that having a body made up of endless flies gives him incredible amounts of defense regardless of if he’s solid or discorporated. Like any swarm, he takes additional damage from AoE effects... but nothing that affects only a single target or a limited number of targets affects him at all. No Disintegrate, Slow, Harm, Hold Monster, Maze, or Energy Drain, no nothing! ... please don’t hit him with Blade Barrier though.

Oh, you’re just casting Blade Barrier anyway?

FOOLISH

Because Baalzebul has tricks upon tricks, and his Swarm Body is one seriously loaded ability. For one, he reduces ALL Slashing, Bludgeoning, and Piercing damage he takes by half (which is further lowered if it can’t get past his DR 20/Epic, Good, and Silver), he cannot be flanked, and he’s immune to critical hits and precision damage. Most AoE spells that could take advantage of his vulnerability crash into his hefty resistances anyway (he’s immune to both Fire and Cold and has 30 Acid Resistance... but notably no defenses against Electricity or Sonic... hmmm), so you’re kind of stuck figuring out a way to try and hurt him. Maybe just buffing yourselves, as per usual, and outlasting him?

Just be very, very careful about what you use within 30ft of him, because his envious greed gives him an advantage that’s likely to make the party Cleric consider if that Heal spell is worth using: Usurper. ANY spell a caster attempts using on themselves or ANY effect any characters tries activating on themselves while within 30ft of Baalzebul can be copied onto him, with him gaining all the effects as well as the caster. He can only have one effect copied at a time, but this means little if he copies a Heal. Among other things, this means attempting to use common spells like Haste, Foresight, Shapechange, or Death Ward will grant him their benefits... and you may notice I said “effects” as well, which opens the door to letting Usurper copy things like Barbarian Rages, Alchemist Mutagens, and Inquisitor Judgements! Maybe buff yourself before combat starts... if he gives you the time to.

Do you want to know an especially fun fact, though? Time Stop is a spell a caster uses on themselves. If Baalzebul usurps it, that means he gets to move in their stopped time, effectively trapping them in a one-on-one with him.

I, personally, think it’s funny to imagine the party’s wizard trying to use Time Stop and, from the rest of the party’s perspective, they shout “TIME STOP!” and then fall over dead with the boss now floating above their fly-eaten corpse.

I am the queen of spades, I am the wasp that stings, I am the dark serpent. I am the invulnerable animal who passes through fire and is not burned.

seraph blade/seraph whip - her seraph blade can turn into a whip at will to punish her enemies and can be powered by her hellfrost

hellfrost - Tisiphone is able to control the coldest known element, because of that hellfire has little to no effect on her

Seraphim-blooded - immune to curses, immortal

Erinyes - can move freely from the mortal realm to the inferno and vice versa, her true form consists of multiple dark wings, serpentine eyes, claws, scales and hair made out of serpents

Fury - brings out another creature's vengeful instincts

I dunno, Team Flash, maybe if we didn’t spend time changing the names on the medical screens to read “Hellfrost” we might’ve had more time to save Frost.

(I know it can be seen earlier when she’s fighting Deathstorm, but I didn’t catch it until this moment, and was like HEY! and thought it was funny enough to share)

Lucifer

NAME/ALIASES. UTP AGE & BIRTH DATE. Prehistoric+ & Unknown SPECIES. Archfiend GENDER & PRONOUNS. Male & He/Him or He/They AFFILIATIONS. N/A OCCUPATION. UTP

history

Son of Ulthar; Lucifer was his most beautiful creation. The Great Old Ones came to call him the Morningstar, as bright and as fearsome as the light of day, he fought fearlessly at the side of his siblings from the moment that he was born. Lucifer, like so many others, were promised a realm that was their own; they would be free to do as they pleased, and in the garden that would come to be created the Blessed Children of Ulthar would hold dominion. Lucifer brazenly spread this gospel amongst his siblings, preaching the good word of his father as it was relayed to him. Beautiful beyond reason, there were few that could stand to not listen when Lucifer spoke. For an untold amount of years they fought, Lucifer watched as countless friends and family were cut down before his very eyes but still he battled for the promise of a better tomorrow. When victory was theirs, it was short lived: Eden rose amidst the ruins of a dead world and Lucifer watched as the elves planted their seeds and grew their great trees. He waited for the keys to the Kingdom, for him and his siblings to be granted dominion over the crop but as Prometheus’ abominations came from his kiln, these humans were not made to kneel.

Years in Eden trickled by as Lucifer was made a sentinel, a glorified babysitter and scarecrow; the people revered the Morningstar’s beauty but he wanted more. He wanted what had been promised to him and in quiet discontent he whispered to those whose hearts were most akin to his own. In due time, Ulthar did the unthinkable, he commanded his legions of seraphim to kneel at the feet of Adam and Eve. Michael took a knee, but Lucifer refused and anarchy ensued. The seraphim that would come to be called Fallen, revolted, and lunged first at the Gods’ precious trees. A rebellion of angels that lasted centuries saw Lucifer’s Grace torn from him, in the ninth level he was confined and there the Abyss seeped into his essence and took root over where his Grace had once been. Cold that was colder than anything ate away at the beauty Lucifer had once held, twisted him into something vile and redefined. An archfiend crawled its way inside and down Lucifer's throat, a beast he chewed, swallowed, and consumed with eager greed. Inferno’s gates came crashing down and Lucifer charged the kingdom of Ulthar: Elysia. The monarchy of Hell at the head, Lucifer was declared the new King of Elysia from the seat of his bloodied throne.

connections

Seraphic Archfiends: Confined together, they're siblings that dominated archfiends and subjugated the powers of the Abyss to become what they are today: the Monarchy of Hell.

Seraphim: Siblings who fought together and stood beside one another in Eden, Lucifer was once loved by many, and hated by none.

Eden: Once a beloved protector, Lucifer looked down on the people of Eden but did his duty up until he had no choice but to rebel.

abilities

Sin Manipulation: An ambient power that affects those around him, with focus Lucifer can increase a single sin within someone while he's near them, otherwise it's a general affect to those he encounters.

Esoteric Hellfrost Manipulation: Able to perform magic through the application of hellfrost, the coldest element know. Through this he can curse, create constructs, and forge weapons from it. Because of this hellfire has little effect on him.

Beauty: No matter the vessel he inhabits, anyone who looks upon Lucifer will see him as beautiful.

Immortal: Ageless, Lucifer himself will never grow old.

weaknesses

Human: However durable Lucifer's vessel is still mortal and needs to eat, sleep, and carry out basic bodily functions.

Witchcraft: A coven is able to trap or confined Lucifer for a period of time, or release him from his vessel.

Corpse: Graceless, Lucifer can only possess the bodies of the dead.

Seraph: An angelic blade through the chest will destroy him, and kill him.

this skeleton is currently closed.

Do you have any snow system headcannons? /nf

dude you have no fucking idea

during s3, Caitlin and Frost are more blended together than separate individuals, bleeding into each other and influencing the other's emotions and actions. I believe in system terms this is called blurring

FROST ISNT DEAD NO SHE ISNT LISTEN LISTEN SHUT UP!! LISTEN

Khione did Not get that the name Hellfrost was a play on hellfire for a WHILE.

they do not inherently consider themselves sisters fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you i think that's an entirely uncreative and dumb way to take their relationships and it feels almost... ableist? maybe the right word is stereotypical- to, like, assume that that's the only relationship system members could possibly have? like, someone else always labeled their relationships as sisterly before any member of the Snow System ever did. i just don't think Cait and Frost would have ever labeled themselves like that if someone else didn't assume it first, tho I don't think Khione would mind. as a Killersnow shipper I am biased as he'll but I BELIEVE THAT CAIT IS IN LOVE WITH FROST AND FROST LOVES CAITY BACK. But Cait is repressed as he'll and canon-wise once someone else decided that Frost was her sister Caitlin accepted it bc of her crippling pipe dreams of heterosexuality and normal family bonds and trying to make herself easily understandable to all her singlet friends. and Frost would go along with it because of how much she loves Caitlin and how much she doesn't want to lose her and risk ruining their relationship by admitting her feelings. i'm rambling but they're not sisters. it's like when Supercorp claimed to love each other like sisters- we didn't buy it then, i'm not gonna buy it now, fuck everyone, when Frost said "but you're blood" she meant that they literally used to share the same blood because they SHARED THE SAME FUCKEN BODY. im!! rambling!!

also the body split never happened:3c these headcanons are becoming delusions

ya notice Frost's hair changes over the seasons? pure white to grayish with blueish undertones? that's not a dye job, her hair just started growing in darker and more colorful as she developed from a villain to a hero. Caitlin ran multiple tests on why or how the change was affecting their hair and couldn't find anything conclusive

Frost thinks it's hilarious that she used to work with a so-called god, Savitar, and now their newest system member, Khione, is an actual god. Caitlin still hasn't figured out fucking how or why their alter became godly.

Khione came to exist after Hellfrost sort of deflated back into Frost, going through a sick period similar to that of Caity's little, hehe, cold in s6-- all that energy from Hellfrost and E-Prime Deathstorm dispersed enough to manifest a new, powerful, adorable personality.

Caity likes to say that all the ginger and blue hues of Khione's hair truly makes her look like fire and ice personified

Similar to how Frost maxed out Cait's credit cards on art, Khione absolutely robbed Caitlin while buying herself a wardrobe. she may be an all-knowing god of nature but she does not know shit about currency.

Caitlin is a polyamorous biromantic sex-repulsed asexual, Frost is a polyamorous arospec lesbian suffering from comphet (this is an anti M*rk Bl*ine blog), Khione is a non-partnering pansexual lesbian. i might have already mentioned this but Cait and Frost are intra-system girlfriends

even Khione isn't completely sure how to pronounce her name she saw it written Once and just kinda lets everyone call her whatever K-thing is in their heart

Khione has never misspelled Caitlin's name-- something Frost cannot truthfully claim

Cait educated herself a lot on system terms etc etc when she was first Going Through It as a coping mechanism and in my heart she would not hesitate to politely correct Team Flash when they refer to Frost as a split personality or alter ego. Frost doesn't really give a lot of shits on proper terms but still doesn't like being called a split personality, a persona or ego bc it implies that she is just Caitlin Slightly To The Left.

When Khione was figuring out her name, Caitlin suggested the name Crystal and Frost suggested the name Louise-- they were Khione's top competitors and Khione considers them like middle names of sorts

Makeup-wise, Khione leads more towards Cait's aesthetic, but Frost helped her learn bolder eyeliner

Frost and Khione like to wear fake tattoos and piercings because Caitlin isn't comfy getting them permanently. Khione did not realize this until after she got an actual tattoo. it's just a small little black snowflake on their shoulder. Frost argues that since Khione got a real tat, Frost should be allowed to get one real piercing. the debate rages on

Frost didn't really call Khione by Khione for a while, since it felt weird considering hey that was her childhood name, calling her Khione 2.0 for way longer than anyone would've liked

all three are trying to co-host, they are bad at it

Frost leaves most of the body upkeep to Cait and Khione. she has never brushed their teeth in her life.

i could go on and on but if i did that i would never stop and i have mouths to feed 🫡

Game Pile: Playing Factions in City of Heroes

City of Heroes Homecoming - Forms and Factions

Watch this video on YouTube

Over on City of Heroes Homecoming, we got given a new way to personalise your character, and that means more ways to represent different ideas. These new costumes, Prismatic Shards, let you transform your character wholesale into a character that looks like a member of an enemy faction, which you could collect to represent a shapeshifting character who picks a lot of forms and disguises. What you can do, what I want to do instead, is use these character transformations to represent different types of character concept where they distinctly transform into a single form that represents a form they use in combat.

For me, one of the most interesting things in a roleplaying space is something in that world to be connected to. It’s like a faction or a house or an organisation, things that you can point to and say ‘you know that?’ as a starting place to tell your story. That’s how these tools excite me, particularly, and I thought I’d do a quick rundown of some of the major factions to give you an idea of the kinds of vibes, and also, take a chance to talk about the lore of this game that occupies a lot of my brain. You like long lore videos? Let’s see.

First up, I’m going to skip over some of the factions where a transformation costume is probably slightly less interesting than the costumes you can make yourself with the existing character creator, powers and auras. That means we’re flying past

Cage Consortium

The Cabal

Knives of Artemis

Legacy Chain

Malta Operatives

Praetorian Resistance

Scrapyarders

Syndicate

Warriors

Wyvern

I’m also skipping over the Fifth Column, because the Fifth Column are actual Nazis following the Reichsman. The Council get covered by that too, even though they, modelled on Italian Fascists, are the Nazis you get on wish. And I mean there’s a whole conversation about the gangs like the Hellions, Outcast, Skulls, and the Trolls, about how you can reinterpret them in different ways to make them more about the interesting narratives of what it means to belong to a gang in a superheroine setting. On the other hand, more than one of these gangs requires you to eat a human corpse, or worse, so it’s not as simple as ‘maybe the gangs are good, actually.’

There are also some characters I’m simplifying in terms of being monsters, who you can use for general, not-necessarily-the-same-faction style. That covers Arachnoids, Banished Pantheon, the Circle of Thorn’s Succubus, Hellfrost and Demon, and the Cimeroran Cyclops and Minotaurs. Hydra also kinda belong here because you just look like a great big oozy monster.

Also, finally, there are a bunch of costumes that let you turn into some kind of kinda-generic robot, with different degrees of complexity. This includes the Arachnos BCU, Clockworks, Longbow Mender, Warworks BCU, and the Sky Raider Jumpbot. These all let you slot into their factions but it also could be useful for making a character who’s meant to be a hijacked or reprogrammed or rogue robot.

Plus, I’m skipping factions I personally find a bit boring.

Arachnos

We have a bunch of information already about what it means to belong to Arachnos. What the experience is like. The Arachnos Veteran Archetypes (Spiders and Widows) have plots about how this organisation has some big principles, but literally none of them stick to it. It’s a lot more like a dysfunctional corporate government, where people can get periodically shot. Going rogue is so likely there’s a faction of them.

Carnival of Shadows

We have some idea of what it’s like to be a Carnie, and what the Carnies can do. This is great! For a start, there’s a vision of the Carnies as a member of a single, telepathic network of hive-minded partygoers, but also we see some signs that that hive mind breaks apart and has rogue elements in it. Also, Carnies seem to just do things for fun.

As far as powers you can represent, they can wield weapons, they have an association with throwing fire, and the mistresses can wield psychic powers, dark powers, and illusion powers. Lots of range there.

Circle of Thorns

Setting aside the monsters (above), the Circle of Thorns characters are essentially a kind of soul parasite; the most low-tier member of this faction, the newest and most fresh-faced one, is someone who was still recruited a millenium ago. If you’re playing one of these, you probably want to have a good handle on the lore because you’re essentially representing an ancient asshole who eats people. There’s an element of a kind of plant vampire vibe here. The Thorns as exist tend to have dark powers or elemental powers, so there’s a lot of options there across all archetypes.

I wouldn’t, they have stupid hats.

Coralax

The Coralax are a sort of parallel of atlanteans and deep ones. They have some cool powers in game, but if you play with thorns or spines or psychic powers, you’ll probably have something that looks good with them.

Crey

Crey are a business, which means that you probably don’t have true believers working for it, for the most part. The whole point of Crey is that it’s an amoral company and the greater evils of what they’re doing are being done by people who make decisions and most of the people in the way are just people who are doing a job.

Devouring Earth

The devouring earth are cool looking nature monsters; big crystals, big rocks, big mushrooms and my favourite, the devoured, which are stompy tentacle monsters. They’re symbiotic, they transform humans to make their horrible forms, and there’s a lot of concern about them from the perspective of the Praetorian culture.

Drudges

I think given that they’re basically Dr Who Ghost Cops, the Drudges are probably something your character is, and the non-Drudge looks are probably them in disguise, rather than the other way around.

Freakshow

The freakshow are a gang of self-augmenting gangsters who use a drug called Excelsior that messes with your brain and keeps your from rejecting gungy mecha parts. Look, you kind of live the Freakshow life.

Goldbrickers

The goldbrickers are a gang of thieves and heisters operating out of Cap Au Diable in the Etoile, whose whole business functions out of a chocolate factory. They’re developed more in Homecoming content, but the basic idea is a techy gang that uses super-science to steal from super-scientists and Arachnos.

Lost

The Lost are a group of transformed humans who develop psychic powers and have access to chunky Rikti weapons. They tend to rely on homeless people to recruit, hence their trashy aesthetic. I particularly like the Prelate as a vibe for a threatening kind of monster-person, since we know they can disguise themselves as humans.

Nemesis

The Nemesis army is a group of clockwork soldiers (and possible actual humans? It’s never made explicitly clear in a trustworthy way). This is rich for rogue agents, because we know their programming gets glitchy and weird. Also, the warhulk is a cool big chunky suit that you could play as a character having stolen or hijacked one.

Paragon Police

ACAB, but also the hardsuit is a special mention. You have to dial your height and skin tone in pretty carefully because there’s a visible chin here, but the hardsuit is a sweet mecha look. These hardsuits in the conventional setup use energy melee attacks and blasts, so they tend to look good doing those moves.

Rikti

Spoiler note, but the Rikti here are a sort of humanlike alien. If you’ve played through the story arc you’ll know more, but you are, odds are good, going to see and deal with the Rikti and learn what they are. Rikti have a distinct manner of speech and wind up being, in part, allied with us, so there’s room to play a cool Rikti using these costumes. If you like the Riki axe or swords for the weapon-wielder characters, this is a way to play with them. If you want the gun-and-sword mix, you might have to go for a type of blaster. There is also a bunch of psionic powers here, if you want to build off that.

Conclusion

This is just a crash course on what these factions are and how you could integrate into them with your heroic or villainous characters. Is it super important? is it an indepth vision of the factions? Is it going to matter to the audience at large?

Hell if I know.

But I had fun making it~!
