Speak his name and he shall appear.

Hey dog. It is Tuesday. Do you know what times it is! Yes we can!

There are many things that appear when you speak of them or speak their name. Much power can be given to a name. The Devil, Beetlejuice, Melkor and Sauron both I belive, Voldemort, CandleJack, The Fairy Puck, Morpheus, Undertaker, Odahviing, red squiggly lines. Well red squiggly lines accept a lot of invitations that weren't meant for them. Most of those weren't comic related. And none of you have been in a published comic either have you. So you aren't about comics. GUH! I am digressing too much. At least I didn't write that joke blog where I pretend to be offended about the use of the devil in comics.

Honestly I don't know where I am going on about here. Here is Ron Perman being a badass.

I promise I am not just trying to pad up the size of this blog with big picture and links to shit and all sorts of other trickery to have you spend more time on my page. I'm probably already getting to the point where you want to click next on the blogs. But you can't That is gone. Mwahahaha. (filler episodes usually suck). Sorry I should get to talking about something about comics. Hellboy is comics. But I haven't read any Hellboy recently  ever. I really haven't been reading comics all that long. I don't see that as a bad thing. I don't feel that not reading comics for that long disqualifies my opinions. I have been a comic book fan for a long time. I would by a one off every now and then. That was really my extent of comic reading. I didn't have the means for keeping up with monthly comics. I did read manga. I liked that a bunch of stories came in one neat little book. It was convenient.

So now I read comics. I have been reading for like 6 months or something idk. Reading regularly that is. I knew most of the back stories for everybody somehow. I'm honestly not sure how I had as much comic knowledge as I did with the amount of exposure I had. It definitely isn't proportional to my English skills versus exposure. Wait did you tell me to drink a rum and Sprite(r)? FUCK YOU I"LL TYPE IN WHATEVER WINDOW I WANT! Capslock is for noobs. I hold shift. Quick reminder there is two shits on your keyboard. Do you use both like you are supposed to or do you do finger yoga everytime you need a capital G. *don't link NIN songs, you arleady linked enough songs* The worst part about filler episodes is how long they seem to drag on.

Hey. This blog is now about demons like it was supposed to be. My name is never was. I sometimes like the theme of demons in a comic. I can enjoy hellboy. I can enjoy a short trip to hel to talk with hela or a trip to Azazel's hell so Wolverine can Snikt some demon dogs and shit. I liked the story they did recently in uncanny
X-force.. wait. No. One of the x-forces was caught in the middle of a fight between all the respective rulers of different hell's. I liked this. I like any way that John Constantine or Circe go about playing with guys from hell. You know what? You're my wonderwall. I mean I like the theme overall. If I was presented with an American comic with demons in it I would be inclined to look at it. I specify American because Japanese can treat their demons way different than we generally do so it requires more to go on. This even extends to other comics that deal with another type of occult situation. I love The Crow and some of the related comics/movies/shows.

What I don't like is when it seems to be inserted into an unnatural place. Granted as I said I haven't read enough comics to earn my right to complain. Spider-Man however does not need to be hanging out with demons and getting a barbed penis from Morpheus or whatever the fuck happened. I have no idea what happened of if nuzelock made 100% of that shit up. Now Captain america fighting hordes of demons just doesn't make any sense. Red skull yes, other shit with red skin and weird faces no. I don't want to watch Superman Duel with the devil. MTG players recently saw the duel between Sorin the lord of Vampires (and Innistrad) go up against Tibalt the Half Demon Planeswalker (who once lived in Innistrad before he sparked) That isn't relevant you say? Have you been reading the IDW Magic Comic? Well I keep forgetting too. At least I picked up issue one before I forgot. Even though it didn't go up in value.

Now I have my particular religious beliefs and  you have your particular beliefs. I always wonder how they go about thinking how to approach characters that seem a bit biblical in comics and some other media. A lot of the time they seem to go off of the approach that it is there world they are writing here and you have to accept whatever version of reality that they put forth for you to view at the time. I didn't hear anybody bitching about Dogma. I'm sure even the concept of Having Thor be an actual character in Marvel comics was a struggle. I know what J.R.R. Tolkien went through as he wrote it out for us in a few letters that have been published in places like the Silmarilion. I have a character in my Mutants and Masterminds that would like to believe that he is descendant of biblical angels. Not sure how to go about it though. Seems every path leads me to nowhere. Do I just go with lots of things or right or do I go with the church is right or do I just go naw dog. You are just an angle. Don't be so obtuse about it. Here comes the rooster. I really have already come to the conclusion that I wanted to about it. But I bring up the question anyways. I still have personal reservations on ways I would like to write the story and certain amounts of religion that you must address when writing a story. You know I used to think he said that he took his pills for machine gun death. Much worse than mosquito death but if there were pills for machine gun death those would sell out fast.

We have magic users in the game. I plan to make them an important part of the world besides mutants. So then again we have the question of religious beliefs. I prefer to go with the whole nothing is certain this is not any different from real life where nobody is certain approach. At the same time one of the main NPC's has met and works for Hela ruler of Hel. Sure the Asataru memebers of my local group will just be like, "yeah that is cool, why are you saying it like that though" I looked it up. It is an acceptable pronunciation. Also it is my world and I'll make her a stripper if I want to who runs a blackjack table in vegas. *writes that down for future use* But how is the Angel in the group supposed to feel about that. How much am I allowed to tell the people in the group how their character feels. I have already gotten a few characters complain about why on earth they would be part of the group. My response should just be that you should reconsider your character then because this is the story you are playing. When I get these complaints for seasoned table top players it makes me question if everything is going according to hikaku*. I feel like I should remind the players that as GM I am god. I am infallible (unless you can show me in the rule book where I did it wrong)That sounded like a person being way more sure of them selves than I truly am. I wonder how much I will be able to put my foot down. I also wonder how much being an angel I can put into the story before the players are uncomfortable with the story.

Burn burn like wicker cabinet. Feel free to leave you comments on the subjects below. Thank you for reading this far. I'm going to pop over to writing over on my more personal blogsite before I ramble on to much about myself or get to telling you about all sorts of video game and board game stuff. That's right. I talk about board games and video games on the other one. And myself. So the link is at top for the adventures of nothing in particular. Technically this post will actually go up after that post is posted possibly.

(*Hikaku means plan)

In case you needed more shit to listen to.
