Halloween Musical Bytes - Lich Yard - Man on the Internet 

@@personalover249 we those are people HE killed, I think that the listener has trespassed and he’s giving them the choice to leave or be killed and join the lich yard, and he gives that choice to everyone who enters the lich yard. Or I could just be dumb

Spitball take here Could it be possible spectre knight is simply following the status quo of the graveyard? I mean the beings there probably had the mindset to destroy any living that disturbed them, you can't simply change the view of an entire kingdom that easily, however there is a definite superiority complex with the phrase "no pity from those who've transcended life" the undead might simply want to be left alone by those who won't respect the graveyard, any any trespassers (shovel knight for example) need to be swiftly removed in one way or another, it's an isolationist policy, and shovel knight is trespassing on every account as well as robbing valuables and disturbing the dirt the undead call home, it's no wonder they want people out if people like shovel knight are considered heros

I'll just become part of the lich yard and do what I have to do even if I need to defeat shovel knight

That seems to be the idea, though given the ending half, I have to wonder if they're somehow pushed to that choice.

specter knight is actually a pretty nuance character in shovel knight, (spoilers for all 4 campaigns but) in just the base shovel of hope campaign and plague of shadows campaign, you dont see this at all, as he's (or in this video's case she's) just another knight in the order of no quarter, but in specter of torment and king of cards you can see a lot more nuance to his character in specter of torment, it's revealed that he's only undead by his choice to save his best friend's son from dying to the enchantress, and is actively working along with black knight to try to usurp the enchantress but to no avail, and in king of cards he's seen to be only fighting king knight due to king knight's cockiness and not heeding his warning to not become the joustus king (as it was a setup by the enchantress to get another member of the order of no quarter), this implies that specter knight either knew that king knight is be the kind of person to join the enchantress at promise of his own profit (as seen in the ending) or just didnt want him to face any dangers that may lay ahead, as he is the ""tutorial"" boss, and only reluctantly gives king knight the standard joustus deck after beating him in combat, seemingly proving to specter knight that he may be stronger than expected

Your not the only one. Not complaining, but still. Took me by surprise

@@societyman7526 same

I don't care either way, I still love this song

I think its a background singer of some sorts

Same

Brydon McCollum he probably got the video early cause of patron rewards

What about an explody boy?

@@thebiolibrary5572 y e s.

Or Gold Boy?

Or the butthole ?

Don't think your skills are gonna save you from me, Shovel Boy!

*B)*

they put on body swap mode for specter knight.

Well, you never know. They really are just a skeleton at this point, so how could one tell?

@@sapphireweapon12345 well, specter's canon name is donovan, a Male name, so...

@@runedoom Ehh. Again, different worlds, different times. Never assume things, else... Well, you probably know the sayings.

We only need In The Halls of the Usurper and The Defender to complete the set

@@ser_saffron Don't we need musicals for the other knights of the order? Maybe pack Treasure Knight, Polar Knight, Tinker Knight Mole Knight, and Propeller Knight into one song?

@@thesnatcher3616 If there was a full musical, yeah that'd be cool, but that's up to MOTI. If it was just Bytes I think a song for King Knight and Black Knight (or maybe the Enchantress) would work better Nice pfp btw

@@ser_saffron I see... I like yours too.

I want to hear King Knight sing about how much of a butthole he is.

_NoOoOoOo! Not the Freaky Fettucini!_ Tbh, I really can't be mad at them for not giving us our special spooky spaghetti stories. This is just as perfect.

@@aecholapis but now we got song tuber!

What is freaky Fettuccini?

@Ceres The Stardroid The bestestest thing in the world Man on the Internet made a series of videos (they started it about two years ago, I think?) where the worst fanfictions in history are read by our favourite storyteller Alex Beckham, so we can enjoy (suffer through) the stories every day in October until Halloween. I highly recommend watching the videos, ...though proceed with caution. It may result in the loss of a few brain cells and uncontrollable cringe and laughter.

@@ceresthestarspinner4609 idk some kinda pun? Must type in comic sans lol.

Except...Is that the Super Crown?

@@AverageEldritchEntity Too late Side note: Are you from Twitter too and if so do I know you?

@@AverageEldritchEntity Ight

@@evagarcia865 it's called a meme

Why must you remind me about his story ;-;

Plague Knight: Want a drink?

@@sanscoolson5125 Wait... I just realized..... *PLAUGE KNIGHT IS THE ONLY SUCCESSFUL SIMP*

BANANA KING yeah I love him cause he seem evil but he want love and he not the usual villain.

Honestly, Plague Knight is the only one whose story ends happily. Shield Knight dies, Spectre Knight is forced to enlist in the Enchantress' services, and King Knight loses his entire kingdom (which he kinda deserved, so I'm not really upset about that one).

Its in the body swap mode specter is male in cannon

vampires are always british (it just sounds right)

@@skyprior3866 but ... They are a skeleton .. as well as a ghostly thing

@@RockyWolfTheEditingWolf it's a joke?

Yes you can cuz he isn't.

Me too. The fact that you can only use it in Shovel of Hope is genuinely my only problem with Shovel Knight. I want to play as Monarch Knight, dammit!

Big agreement

YES

AGREE

YES

I didnt. But i pressed like the moment it started cause its shovel knight.

I knew I recognized the tune. Good to hear the OG.

There is a gender swap option for Shovel Knight's story.

I already commented that they sound like Mustache Girl.

I thought Specter sounded like Tracer from Overwatch.

Wtf is a mustache girl?

It’ll only be a matter of time.

Was it a matter of time?

It's a combination of Hidden by Night and La Danse Macabre, so they just called the video after the area. Like how the song with both of Grimm's themes is called just Grimm.

well fuck, this aged poorly. I have four days to get that illustration done now

Did you do it?

@@smbeast7170 Nope, it was a pretty busy week

UPDATE: I have done refs for all three, albeit the ref I did of Darby looks derpy

Он, вродее, мьюзикл по лопаторыцарю не делает. Так, песни периодически выкладывает. А призрака-рыцаря он взял из-за надвигающегося хэллоуина

@@MadCookie_14 прости на стримах не сижу... Или где это там... Прошу прощения... Ps. да, тут есть русские

@@MadCookie_14 Что за байты? Р.С. Русские пишут на русском под видео на английском. Логика! А вообще я у него только Хроно Триггер и Андертейл смотрел. Грустно видеть, что у него так мало подписчиков

I clicked this comment thinking "oh someone must've translated it" I was oh so wrong

Most of the time undead are born of malice and negativity

Because of this, undead are rarely sane, and most of the time indeed with their past consciousness are tortured by being undead. I can't think of any examples, but while there is sometimes undead born for a good cause, the sacred view of death makes it hard to see undead in a good light.

And there is also the fact that undead have a natural hatred of the living

You're not wrong - it's often portrayed as a curse for no real reason. That said, I don't think your average zombie is sentient - it's just a puppet controlled by its master. Vampires are pretty much what you're describing, but even vampirism has strings attached what with the whole blood-drinking thing.

@@cthulhufhtagn2483 i was thinking more lich or wight, but ok p.s i hate vampires

seriously the Lich from adventure time was so unsetteling with his being provided by slade from teen titan

IT IS SNACHER

Did it last year ^^

I would like it to be a mix of halls of the king and slowly transition to halls of the usurper

I think we all already know what voice Alex would use for King.

I wonder what “a thousand leagues below” or “high above the land” would sound like with lyrics...

Y E S

My mans did u have a stroke

Ohh , yes that would be awesome
