ok idk if anyone except me noticed or cared but this is MY BLOG so yall get to hear about it anyways
I've been listening to the Tristamp ost while I've been studying and I've noticed that Vash's character instrument is a harmonica. Most of his character songs/character adjacent songs (Mystery Man, Common Front, Vash the Stampede) have harmonica as a prominent part of the arrangement. It's not solely in "Vash songs", it's actually shared with a lot of other background music/ "regular people" songs (No Man's Land, Jeneora Rock, Hungry). I think this is a great way to show how Vash is invested in the lives of these people. Whereas Knives's piano is almost exclusively for him, which is isolating and adds automatic, recognizable tension whenever you hear it.
Also! There's this cool "Aim, Fire!" backing chorus in a lot of Vash songs that adds an extremely spaghetti western beat, which I adore. (you can hear it in The Jeneora Rock Resistance) Especially since there's lyrics from Vash's perspective in his character songs that make it seem like this is the inside of his head/the energy he's moving with.

One of the reasons I want an Athena-focused game so badly is because of her dynamic with the judge. Often times the penalties from the judge or dismissals from the prosecution feel unfair, but then we get someone like Athena who is just immediately taking off with the most out of pocket bullshit from the word go and— even when her own co-counsel thinks she’s lost it— the judge is like nah. Let her cook. And then she turns out to be right
Apollo says “can we please agree that the blind 14-year old didn’t shoot a revolver that has a kickback that would break a grown man’s arm?” and the judge is like “no and fuck you for even suggesting that” and then Athena walks in with a record holding amount of HIPPA violations to go ask someone about their crush and make a bondage joke in full earshot of the entire courthouse and the judge is like “yeah sure that’s fine. This’ll be funny anyway please continue”. He lets her get away with so much and I want a whole game of her shenanigans

Honestly Pacifica and Grunkle Stan would have had the dynamic of all time... I like to think they would be like "that one bitchy old man manager and the mean younger employee he takes under his wing" that every place Ive worked at has. I think he would attempt to teach her how to drive unsafely but she'd say "watch this old man" and tokyo drift across five merging highway lanes while he hoots and hollers in pride and joy. Just because shes morally good and not a capitalist now doesnt mean she doesn't know how to run a good scam or has magically forgotten how to insult people. I just think they would have fun.

okay so i was thinking of a joke earlier about how in DPDC Amity Park's slogan "a great place to live" is not only city propaganda but also the city lording it over the rest of America for being normal. But then I remembered that, despite how many DCU Cities with heroes in it there are, the amount of cities in America without heroes still far outnumber the amount of cities in America WITH heroes.
So I did a little digging so the joke would still land. Something most heroes have in common is that they operate in major cities. What makes a major city? I found that the general consensus is that the population is roughly over or around a million. THEN I looked up the populations of cities in the DCU that I thought of off the top of my head. So Gotham, Metropolis, Starling City, Central City, Jump City. All of them ranked up to millions in population (most of them were in the tens of millions).
Amity Park's wikipedia describes it as being similar to specifically Philadelphia, Chicago, and San Francisco.
Philadelphia's Population: 1.576 million as of 2021
Chicago's Population: 2.697 million as of 2021
San Francisco: 815,201 as of 2021
Whiiich means that Amity Park if we take that from canon, is probably a major city. There are approximately 19,000 cities in America with probably less than a hundred that are major cities. Adding the DCU major cities wouldn't skew the data too much.
Which MEANS that I can make the joke that Amity Park's "great place to live" is not only just typical city propaganda, but also its Amity Park lording it over the other major cities for being one of the only major cities that doesn't have problems bad enough to warrant a superhero or a vigilante. Cue stage left the Fentons and Phantom :)
Amity Parkers were probably SO proud that they didn't need a superhero. They didn't have to worry about things like 'world ending threats' and 'super-powered individuals' and 'staggering property damage'. And then enter Fentons.
It also could be used as an excuse for why nobody took notice to Amity Park getting ghosts if folks like me aren't huge fans of the notion of a media blackout via Tucker, Technus, or the US Government. Or if you want to keep Amity Park as its urban city self. Amity Park's news on ghosts gets drowned out in a week because there's news on more popular, well-known cities going on every other day. The shit going on in Amity Park is every other major city's regular Tuesday and it gets filtered as such.
