I Decided To Make A Playlist For The Depressed And Lonely Man Himself! I Feel So Bad For Him...

I decided to make a playlist for the depressed and lonely man himself! I feel so bad for him...

I kinda whipped this up somewhat quickly, but I think it turned out alright. When creating the playlist, I tried to base the songs on his personal struggles. I'm aware that Human Sadness by The Voidz is about the complicated relationship between the lead singer, Julian, and his father. However, I couldn't help but be reminded of the relationship between Iron Eclipse Marco and his mother.

THE LONELIEST by Måneskin is a reference to the final moments that Iron Eclipse Marco shared with his father. I like to imagine it's in the perspective of his father rather than Marco's own view.

Oh my lord-

I'm finally done with the main cast of the Iron Eclipse AU! Now, I can get working on the antagonists 😈. This is honestly exciting for me! I'm particularly stoked to start working on General Morden, Doctor Amadeus, and Ptolemaios.

What does the cast of the Iron Eclipse AU prefer to call the SV-001 by?

I got inspired by one of the trailers for the Metal Slug 3 pachislot because I believe that the speaker referred to the SV-001 as "Metal-chan" or something along those lines, which I find to be endearing. Not everyone is included on here because they don't have any special names for the SV-001.

Marco: Tarma's metallic princess

Tarma: Metaru-chan

Eri: Bakana kuso sensha ("stupid fucking tank" in Japanese)

Fio: Ottimo serbatoio ("great tank" in Italian)

Trevor: Kulhan taegnki ("cool tanky" in Korean)

Nadia: La camelote lente ("the slow junk" in French)

Ralf: The prettiest of all tanks

Clark: Gimmicky fucker

Tequila: Presagio de batalla ("omen of battle" in Spanish)

Gimlet: Schneckenmädchen ("snail girl" in German)

Red Eye: Fighting tank (as Ruoxi), reliable toy of war (as Shufen), and sluggish rider (as Liddy)

General Morden: Machine of destruction

Doctor Amadeus: Valkyrie of tanks

Ptolemaios: A gift from Illapa

Walter: Sluggy

Tyra: Mutahad ("wobbly" in Arabic)

Hyakutaro: Silly tankette

Margaret: Trusty ol' miss

Wysteria: An interesting metal thing of warfare

Sagan: Battlefield ravager

Logan: Precious metal baby

I made a little playlist for the Iron Eclipse AU. I whipped it up fairly quickly, so don't expect it to be perfect. I often struggle with this sort of thing, but I wanted to give it a shot. I'll consider this to be an experiment of sorts. Selecting the right songs that might fit the vibes of Iron Eclipse was a challenge... I wasn't fully thinking about the themes of my AU for this one...
