DETERMINED
-
-
Ahoy mates, the flow is getting rough, but keep your eyes on the surface.
We’re gonna have our breakthrough this time!
We’re gonna have our breakthrough this time!
COLD
-
-
Beware witches, wizards, warlocks, hags and crones. Your souls are in danger! A new dealmaker is on the move and believe me when I say, the souls of the damned aren’t much for company these days.
DECEIVED
-
-
I’m a fan of waking up to the sound of birds with a ray of sunshine on my face.
I’m a fan of empty train rides on a snowy day.
I’m a fan of hot air balloon rides across the Venetian countryside.
I’m a fan, of wearing your skin as a mask.
DREAMY
-
You’ve solved the world’s greatest mystery? Using only your own squishy body? But you don’t remember what it was? You better get me a taste of that pocket dimension too!
ADVENTUROUS
-
And the Kraken said: “Release the child. With adventure being all but vanished from this world, who the hell is gonna find me and releassse me? I suggest you all put on your propeller hat, take your talking parrot and marvel at reality!”
CHAINED
-
You tried to venture too deep and got yourself in stone hard sh*t. The kind with chunks. But hey, do you think your chalice likes to be choked and drowned and sucked empty like it’s some ordinary beer mug? Time to get a taste of this!
REBORN
-
SPLASH I’m ready for the thing! SPLASH I’m ready as you’ll never be! SPLASH Just flowing on my own mighty clouds! SPLASH You can’t even stir my vibe! SPLASH I’m just going mate, can’t catch me in this whirlwind of fresh flavours!
ANGRY

COLLECTED
-
Long breath in, long breath out. Let all tension slip away from your body and relax.
Am I doing this right? Am I doing anything right? Am I happy? Should I have pizza for dinner?
Are people watching me?
Are people watching me?
CONTROLLED
-
Mi to mezze-piano, sol to fortissimo, quickly! Have. To. Maintain. The Tune. And look as cool as a frog doing it. Your interruptions can’t break my melody now babes.
COMFORTABLE
-
We’ve spent nine months together but now it’s time. Get out, now! Quick, slime yourself up with this fish. If you don’t come out dirty, they’ll get suspicious.
SWEET
-
Its’ cold touch so cooling to your burning passion.
Its’ creamy surface so satisfying to stir.
It’s not jealous, it will go well with any side adventure you desire.
The ice cream sundae, here to fulfill your every need.
CARING
-
Is that a heart on your face or are you just happy to see me?
BORED
-
You can see here the fungus has taken control of its’ host, infiltrating its’ nervous system and forcing it to endlessly ponder the meaning of life. Soon the fungus will have taken over, creating a new spore pooping planet in the process. But the real question is, will Bear Grylls eat it?
DEFEATED
-
It’s just a flesh wound! And these guts are just spaghetti, which just so happens to be my favourite. See, yum, nothing’s wrong!
TRAINPANEL I: DRIVEN
TRAINPANEL II: PROUD
TRAINPANEL III: RELAXED
GLOOMY
-
Well hell, if you think I’m going to spend my life in grey tones, you’re mistaken. Gloom bot, power your engines, we’re on a mission to destroy!
EMPTY
-
An inventors’ dream, to ascend to the promised land of Thales. Where all great inventors sip kombucha from test tubes and eat insect burgers as much we want. Need. To grow. That breakthrough!
GUILTY
-
You suspect it was little old me who dunnit? Oh, I’m suuure my mohawk and dragon’s snout don’t got nothing to do with it. I call framing!
HOPELESS
-
It’s on my screen. It’s in my newspaper. It’s in the mouths of everyone around me. And it’s all going to shit! Yes please, I would like to rage.
IMPATIENT
-
Oh no, Anakin!
IMPULSIVE
-
I am the mighty one, and I really thought I heard you say something funny! Well, actually I’m not so sure, but I already started picking a fight, so eh, yeah.
SAFE
-
Sure, I’ll go to school, make friends, get a life, all you want. But when the going gets tough I’ll be here fighting dragons and pissing of old neighbour Donnie.
LAZY
-
Hey Frank! All we do is fetch you meat and scratch your ass, when are you finally gonna sh*t that cheese?!
BATTERED
-
Yeah, I think I will retire now. Get an acceptable house with a view on the water, maybe some chickens. Get married to a nice buck who can oil my wooden leg. Ah, the prospect of a life well lived.
ENVIOUS
-
When whispers come from a dark and empty space within, telling you you deserve more, obviously you take it at face value. Because come on, look at you. How can anyone as dashing as yourself not naturally deserve anything you desire?
WATCHED
-
Mothership to Thought machine- STOP PESTERING YOUR LITTLE ID AND GET BACK HERE! I KNOW YOU THINK YOU KNOW IT ALL BUT YOU’RE JUST AN IRRATIONAL LITTLE SHIT!
SUFFOCATED
-
Follow nature’s call they said, it will be good for you. Well here I am, dragging around a litter of hell spawn who have attached themselves to my body.
PEACEFUL
-
Well, maybe we did do a bad thing like say, wipe out an entire colony. But hey, they stabbed this dude’s baby dragon, so they were kind of asking for it. So let’s say we let this one go eh? We’re all cool here.
TRUSTWORTHY
-
Oh dammit, I’ve let it go on for too long and now I have a full-fletched house built on my back again. I know I’m a loyal steed yours truly, but y’all got to stop crushing me!
DUALITY
-
For our special today, we have some held-back issues spiced with creativity on the menu. Watch how this separation of feelings fights it out, and don’t forget we have an extra good deal on the ketchup tonight!
Thanks for viewing!
