Black Metal Goat by /bara/hmoma/ writefrien

Inspired by that one metal gote bf story and the requests for more demonic gotes

>Be typical heartthrob human singer, one who's recently broken into the top 40 with an album that's doing crazy well
>Known for your sensual voice, you're the first song on a lot of sex playlists.
>You don't know what the fuck a "stan" is, but apparently they're violently protective of you on Twitter
>You end up getting a booking for a set at one of the biggest festivals in the nation, a staple in any upcoming performer's career.
>Due to a hilarious clerical error, you've been booked to sing right after DEATHKVLT, a famous black metal band
>The lead guitarist/vocalist is a Hebridean goat, at least 7ft tall (if you include those huge horns) and thoroughly intimidating.
>Heading out to the stage, he was wearing leather pants, sinfully tight to his large legs with (hopefully fake) blood artfully spattered over his pristine white fur.
>Before he stepped out into the spotlight he turned and looked right at you. Before casually giving you the finger
>"Eat shit normie, this is REAL music"
>ouch...
>You weren't willing to give him the satisfaction. Instead you smiled, winked and told him to break a leg.
>He looked ready to throw down with you, his handsome face twisting in anger, luckily for your security team the bassist pulled him away, it was their cue anyway.
>It was...loud
>You kind of expected it to be intense, that was the whole appeal of the genre anyway, right?
>The crowd of dudes wearing all black (holy shit in this weather?!) seemed to go wild for it.
>Props to him, the caprine he knew how to put on a good show.
>Their set was full of this cool, evil-ass energy, even though you two were from different worlds, you could recognize and appreciate the artistry and technique
>Like all good things, the set ended, the band looked totally wrecked. Full of testosterone, you got a death glare from the goat
>"Beat THAT"
>A challenge? Fuck it, you wanted to go all out for the festival anyway
>It was game time, you weren't really planning on making this too big of a deal. It was one concert you were both at, you'd probably never see the guy again.
>"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have ONE more artist for you tonight."
>There was a cheer, oh right, you were a surprise guest since you got booked in late.
>The lighting scheme and logo for DEATHKVULT projected onto the stage faded. It was just inky darkness
>The dramatic pause gave you just enough time move out and position yourself center stage.
>With absolutely no introduction, a single spotlight slowly creeped up to illuminate you perfectly
>Those dudes in black might not have recognized you, but their wives and girlfriends certainly did.
>The crowd's reaction to the surprise appearance of anon would become a social media hit.
>One video of a girl screaming, crying, fainting, getting up, vomiting, and fainting again would become a staple reaction image for years to come
>Even the guys got into it after a couple songs.
>Needless to say it was a smash hit as you pulled out your best work.
>A white shape in the corner of your eye was revealed to be the goat guy from DEATHKVLT, he was slackjawed at how popular you were.
>Deciding to humble him (just a little), you blew him a kiss during an instrumental break.
>His hackles raised, and a conflicted look washed over his face before he stormed off.
>Talk about a sore loser...
>You shook the interaction off and finished up your set.
>Eventually you finished up, waving off a still screaming crowd as you strutted offstage
>As you made your way to your dressing room to freshen up, you saw three figures hanging outside.
>They were the other band members for DEATHKVULT
>A Hyena, Badger, and Bat, all still in full makeup and costume, looked thoroughly done with life outside of their dressing room.
>Shouldn't they have gotten changed by no-*CRASH*
>Inside their room, you heard a familiar voice shout profanities, followed by more crashes
>"Oh no, don't let him out"
>The badger said that, quickly securing the door with his body as he looked over to your worriedly.
>"H-Hey dude, listen, you were great tonight, but you should probably get out of here"
>There was a worryingly loud sound of glass shattering from inside. "STUPID FUCKING HUMAN"
>The hyena joined in, looking around for something to barricade the door with
>"Yeah man, you were sick! But uh, the big guy inside got a little competitive and he's not taking the L very well"
>"I'LL EAT HIS HEART! GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"
>The bat covered his ears after that war cry. He was taking the goat's outburst as more of a mild annoyance
>"I'm pretty sure you have him questioning his sexuality after that little stunt on stage, hell, even I got kinda turned on"
>As you tried to process what the bat meant by that, the banging and crashing suddenly died down.
>"...Who're you guys talking to?"
>They tried to hurry you off, but you weren't in any rush on this guy's account.
>"You guys did awesome tonight too"
>There was a light thud on the door
>"I-is IS THAT HIM!? LEMME OUT! WHO LOCKED THE FUCKIN' DOOR!?"
>And that was your cue to get out of here.
>You shot a smile at the band before power-walking (okay, running) back to the safety of your dressing room.
>You somehow felt like that wasn't the last you'd see of that guy
>Part of you kinda hoped so, him being huge and violent aside, it was kinda fun to wind him up

>Lo and behold, you ended up meeting him again
>The both of you had ended up booking the same photography studio for upcoming photo releases
>Headshots, album covers, glamour shots, posters. This place pretty much covered everything
>You saw the band turning a corner just before you went for makeup. Looks like they were in the same slot as you
>After about 30 mins of getting into costume, you headed out to prep for the rest of the shoot
>Right next to your setup, DEATHKVLT were working on some poses for posters
>That thing were they combined all of their hands to make a shadow puppet of a winged demon was pretty cool (wait how did they manage that?)
>"NO! This isn't right, we're missing something!"
>The goat wasn't satisfied
>"Aww come on man, we got some good shots! I wanna get brunch already!"
>The caprine was adamant
>"It's good but it's not DEATHKVLT!" (did he always shout the band name like that)
>The rest of the band sighed in exasperation
>This was also kind of inconvenient for you, at this rate they were gonna bleed into your slot.
>You casually strode up to the shot
>This time the bat was the first to notice you
>"Oh it's Anon, s'up"
>You s'upped him back, making your presence known to the other three
>The other two chimed in with polite hellos, before the goat slowly turned to glare at you
>"You might've won the crowd over at the festival, but don't get all high and mi-WHAT ARE YOU WEARING!?"
>He only just noticed?
>You were in full costume for your shoot, which happened to be following a "Ancient Greek/Narcissus" theme
>Needless to say, the silk robes draped over your body left very little to the imagination
>You actually thought it was tasteful, but the way the caprine rockstar reacted made you doubt it
>He was covering his eyes, blushing furiously
>Maybe the body oil you had on was a little too much
>You explained that you were up next, and you were willing to help them finish up if they needed it
>They were going for a "cultish" kind of vibe. But they couldn't get any satisfying shots
>That's when an absolutely evil idea popped into your head
>"How about you sacrifice me?"
>The group seemed a little confused as to what you meant
>"You wanted it to have an evil cult kind of vibe right? You guys could pose like you're about to sacrifice me, and with a little post effect magic you could get a pretty nice cover out of it"
>You had done plenty of shots before, these guys had albums but as far as you could tell they mostly did amateur shots up until now
>"Dude..."
>They seemed to be mulling it over
>"That sounds SICK!"
>The goat (still covering his eyes) was the only one who seemed reluctant
>"W-we don't need a naked dude on our cover art! C'mon let's try lighting my horns on fire again!"
>There was a resounding no from the band and pretty much every member of staff in the room
>Gottem
>The vote passed on doing a shoot with you 4 to 1 (you can guess who voted no)
>You even lent them some of the props from your shoot to help out
>And now the teasing could continue
>It was kind of odd that you enjoyed riling this big goat-man up so much
>He was just so cute when he got all flustered
>Things were getting tight, the deadline for your own shoot was soon so you probably had time for one set of shots max
>This pose had the goat standing over you, with a dagger that looked like it belonged to a mall-ninja raised high over his head
>You were draped over a faux marble altar, surrounded by skulls and candles
>The band just kind of had to stand there and look cool in varying edgy stances
>You of course, couldn't resist being a little shit and posing yourself in increasingly sensual ways
>The goat looked like he was going to pop a blood vessel
>"Last one guys!"
>For the last one, you decided to be more than a little bold
>Hooking your fingers around the top of your sarong-thing, you showed the goat just a little too much skin
>He audibly choked as the camera snapped
>Album cover is considered iconic
>Gay anthro mags call it a modern piece of homoerotic art
>Much to the chagrin of the goat, 90% of this discussion is because of his expression on it
>Artsy types keep saying how he looks like he wants to kill the human but also ravish him.
>Somehow this speaks to anthro men everywhere
>Discussion only gets spicier when Anon releases NARCISSVS, wearing suspiciously familiar robes on that album cover

Rentry Metadata Docs

Metadata is Rentry's system that allows for full page customization while keeping its minimalistic style. It works by letting you add commands and values that each will modify the page in some way. See the Example tab for quick reference.

Each Option is part of a group that defines what it modifies. These groups are:

PAGE: Metadata for the web page, such as page title.
SHARE: Metadata for the web page to be used as snippets by other websites, such as Twitter or Google.
OPTION: Options that control how the page functions.
ACCESS: Accesibility options or view preferences.
SECRET: Options that allow you to store information that will not be readable by others.
CONTAINER: Controls for the box surrounding the content on the page.
CONTENT: Controls for the content itself.
CONTROL: Coming soon!

Options always start with their respective group name, for example: SHARE_TITLE

Each Option may have a fixed list or range of Values, explained on this page. If you get it wrong, the error message should provide detailed feedback.

General Use

To list a metadata option, you must add it to a new line in the metadata box with the format: OPTION = value

A single Option can have multiple values, separated by spaces, that will control it in more detail or for different situations. For example, giving two values to CONTENT_TEXT_COLOR will set the color for light and then dark mode.

Value Mapping: Some Options with multiple values will behave slightly differently depending on how many values you give. For example, CONTAINER_PADDING can be given one, two, three or four values. Using fewer than 4 will re-use the same values again for different sides of the container. To describe this we will provide a value mapping for each Option and count, to show you what the behavior will be.
If giving CONTAINER_PADDING 4 values, these will be applied in the following way:
Top Right Bottom Left
CONTAINER_PADDING = 5px 10px 20px 40px
This is how it will be applied: top = 5px, right = 10px, bottom = 20px, left = 40px

Value Lists: Other Options with multiple values will affect more things as values are added. For example, FONT_SIZE will change more types of content as more values are added.
Within this helpsheet, we will list what each value does and in what order. Content font looks like this (commas just for clarity here, don't use them):
CONTENT_FONT = base, p, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, li, link, quotes, code
And as a real world example:
CONTENT_FONT = 12px 1.5rem 5rem 4rem 3.5rem 3rem 2.8rem 2.5rem 1.5rem 1.5rem 2rem 1.3rem

Units: Each Option has a set list of possible values that are then validated to ensure they are permitted. When these values are numbers they may be qualified by a unit, such as px: 4px. Each Option has a list of available units and a range of available values for each unit. This means that it might be possible to set as high as 1500px but only up to 100%.

Decimals: Some Values can be decimals and each have a limit to the amount of numbers allowed after the decimal place.

Require and Require one tell you when an Option must be paired with another Option. With Require, all listed Options must be present. With Require one, only one of them must be present.

Validations

Each Value submitted is validated according to an internal checking system that is re-used between different Options. This means that we can explain them here:

max_length: All Options have a max length. This is the total number of characters that can be submitted for this option.
color_name: A color listed within this page (this is the same as the available colors for inline text color) /rentry-text-colors

Tips

You may not list the same option more than once.

The metadata validator is ultra-strict, meaning you can only put in information that is permitted.

Most Options do not have default values. To use the default, just delete the Option.

Permitted whitelisted_string Values:

CONTENT_TEXT_SIZE

Sets the font size, either for the whole page, or for separate types of content depending on how many Values you supply. The first Value, base, sets the root font size of the page, which you can then make use of by setting other Values as relative. It is recommended to set the base as 16px and to use rem for all other values. This will mean that you can then adjust all font sizes by changing only the base value. For example, you set the base as 16px, Heading1 as 2.5rem and Paragraph as 1rem. This then outputs Heading1 as 2.5x16=40px and Paragraph as 16x1 = 16px. Later, you decide you want to font to be larger. So you change the base to 20px. Now, Heading1 will be 2.5x20=50px and Paragraph will be 20x1=20px If you have all Values set, this will make it much easier to control!

Glossary

Don't know what a term means? We'll list everything you need to know here.

Option: A metadata command, always in full capitals and with underscores for spaces, followed by the = sign. For example: PAGE_TITLE =
Value: The information you would like to apply to an Option. This is put after the first = sign and must not break to a new line.
Unit: The descriptor for a number. For example 2px means 2 pixels.
Unit: Px (Pixels): The little square dots a screen is made of. A phone normally has about 350 across and 700 down. A desktop is normally 1200-1600 by 1000.
Unit: %: The percent of the container, or of the thing it is subordinate to (such as when used as a font size unit).
Unit: no-unit: When an option allows for a bare number, it will be listed as this (as when no-unit is not available, a bare number will be read as the default unit for that option). The default unit is always no-unit when this is available.
Unit: hw (Horizontal Width): The percentage of the full width of the page for the device that is viewing. On desktop, changing the window size will affect this.
Unit: vh (Vertical Height): The percentage of the full height of the page for the device that is viewing. On desktop, changing the window size will affect this.
Unit: rem (Root EM): A relative value based on the root font size. Affected by the font itself as the value is taken from width of the font's capital M.
