Subjecting Kresh to RWBY: RWBY Yellow Trailer

Hey all, it’s Kern here. I’m coming at you with another RWBY reaction video. Today, Kresh dives knee deep into the RWBY Yellow Trailer. Yang’s a brawler, so I firmly believed Kresh would enjoy this one the most, let’s see if my prediction was correct!

I tend to find that while the RWBY White Trailer is my absolute favorite of the four early trailers, Yang’s is probably the best from a purely objective standard. Hopefully you will find Kresh’s reaction as enjoyable as I did, and we’ll see you next time for more reaction content as we finally get into Volume 1 properly.

Hold Onto The Flame – Original Song from Fallen Angels in Limelight

Hey all coming at you with another song from the mastermind of Kresh. Using our FAIL band, she made this song for me during a very dark time in my life. For those of you who read the blog post of how my mother passed away, you’ll know how difficult that was for me.

Hold onto the Flame was one of the songs Kresh made to comfort me at the time and now I share it here with all of you. Due to the nature of this song, I’m just going to drop it here, and leave it at that.

RWBY Fan Song: A Pair of Roses (White Rose) Tribute

This project is a combo between Kresh and I. I wrote the lyrics, and Kresh got the sound we wanted out of the AI we use. I thought it was only fitting that this project featuring the dynamic White Rose duo get star treatment from the Demented ferrets duo that work on the songs on our channel (Kresh and I).

If you like her sound, check out her music, and Fallen Angels in Limelight too… seriously, if you like this, I’m sure there are others that you’ll just love.

I absolutely love these characters and what they bring to the table. Ruby and Weiss are a really strong partnership duo in the series, and for this song I tried to hone in on that as much as possible.

Lyrics:

Verse 1: Side by side, we stand in the fray, You hold your ground, I rush ahead each day. A partner’s trust in every move, In the quiet moments, our hearts improve. Through the storm, we find our pace, Your steady hand, my wild race. A glance, a word, a simple sign, In the silence, we both align.

Pre-Chorus: In every strike, in every fight, You’re the calm, I’m the silver light. We stand as one, together we rise, With every challenge, we meet each surprise.

Chorus: We move in rhythm, the world untold, Silver and ice, a story unfolds. No need for words, yet we understand, A connection felt, without command. The rush of speed, the grace you show, Together, a bond that continues to grow.

Verse 2: Your strength in silence, my heart’s desire, You steady the storm, I fuel the fire. Your blade, a cut so cold and true, And I’m the spark, igniting through. In the quiet of night, we find our way, A team, a partnership, come what may. Through every battle, we hold our ground, In each other’s presence, we are found.

Pre-Chorus: In every strike, in every fight, You’re the calm, I’m the silver light. We stand as one, together we rise, With every challenge, we meet each surprise.

Chorus: We move in rhythm, the world untold, Silver and ice, a story unfolds. No need for words, yet we understand, A connection felt, without command. The rush of speed, the grace you show, Together, a bond that continues to grow.

Bridge: In the glance of an eye, in the sound of a breath, We find what words fail to express. The bond we share, unspoken, true, A thread that ties me close to you.

Chorus: We move in rhythm, the world untold, Silver and ice, a story unfolds. No need for words, yet we understand, A connection felt, without command. The rush of speed, the grace you show, Together, a bond that continues to grow.

Outro: Silver and ice, we stand as one, Two halves of a whole, with battles won. Side by side, we’ll always be, The rush of the storm, the calm of the sea.

That’s about it for me for now, everyone. This has been Kern, of The Demented Ferrets. Where stupidity is at its finest and level grinds are par for the course. Hey, check out some of our other links. If you like what we do, leave a like and subscribe to our content, thanks!

Subjecting Kresh to RWBY: Volume 1, Chapter 1 Ruby Rose

Hey everyone, it’s Kern here, coming at you with the first actual episode of RWBY Volume 1, and Kresh’s reaction to it. In this episode, Kresh gets to see my favorite male villain, and my all time favorite character in the entire series (Glynda Goodwitch). So, let’s enjoy a good dust shop heist, and Glynda…

RWBY Fan Song: Autograph

Hey all, it’s Kern here, coming at you with another RWBY related fan song. This one is called Autograph, and the reason I made it was because I was inspired by Volume 1 of the series where Ruby comes into contact with Glynda for the first time.

Ruby was mildly in awe that a huntress was beside her, up to and including asking for Glynda’s autograph. You would think a girl raised by huntsmen in her own right wouldn’t be so starry-eyed over just seeing a huntress fighting beside her, but Ruby was. I mean, Qrow’s no slouch, and though we don’t know much about Tai, we do know he at least graduated Beacon Academy and teaches at Signal.

I then concluded that one of the reasons Ruby is actually in awe isn’t because Glynda is a huntress, but rather because Glynda represents the “huntress ideal” insofar as Ruby’s seeing her actions at the time.

The moment of fighting together besides Glynda I think reflects a long-held if not impossible desire, as Summer Rose was also a huntress too. Her mother died when Ruby was too young to be doing any kind of real combat. Due to that, and her claims about how bad of a student she used to be until Qrow began personally training her bespeaks a certain lack of validation from the kind of hunters she’s inspired to be… and I’m not saying Ruby doesn’t adore her uncle, she most certainly does. Yet, there is that fact alone, he is her uncle. He’s not just a random professional in the trade acknowledging her.

Glynda is a professional though, and though she covers Ruby a fair bit in the battle, she doesn’t outright stop Ruby from adding bullets into the mix. It feels like Ruby experienced real combat without being by the side of a relative, teacher, or classmate. It probably is simply because it was a huntress that chose to offer that very basic level of acknowledgement that Ruby is overjoyed by the experience.

Perhaps in a way, purely because Glynda is a woman to begin with, there’s a higher bar there. She better reflects the sort of hunter Ruby aspires to be. She doesn’t fawn over Ozpin in quite the same way she fawns over Glynda, and I believe that’s partially because Ruby can look at Glynda and see her own “dreamlike” future in a small way.

Female, skirt wearing, unafraid to get into a fight. It was a villain Ruby was after, and Glynda’s aid in the matter reflects the sort of ethos Ruby has in the start of the series. She wanted to be a huntress to “help people”, and here Glynda is, doing that.

Anyway, in that scene after the airship escapes the scene, Ruby asks for Glynda’s autograph. This song is about the themes above and Ruby’s personal ambitions at the time. I truly hope you enjoy it because a lot of thought went into this song and it’s over all themes.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1] I chased ’em up high, through the smoke and the rain, Boots on the rooftops, heart off the chain. Then I saw her standin’, crop crackin’ loud, She whipped up a storm and she owned that cloud!
[Pre-Chorus] My cloak was flappin’, my hands were shakin’, I couldn’t believe the scene I was takin’…
[Chorus] Can I get your autograph? Right here on my hood, on my dreams, on my map! You’re the storm I wanna ride, you’re the fire in my spark, You’re the hero I’ve chased in my heart! So before you fly off, before you fade so fast — Please, oh please… can I get your autograph? [Verse 2] Sirens below and the clouds up high, You cracked that crop and lit up the sky. Blond hair flying, green eyes like a flame, I swear in that moment, I knew your name! [Pre-Chorus] My scythe felt heavy, but my soul felt light, Standin’ there dreamin’ in the neon night…
[Chorus] Can I get your autograph? On my dreams, on my sleeve, on my dusty old map! You’re the thunder I heard when I dared to believe, You’re the magic I wear on my sleeve! So before you ride off, before you vanish fast — Please, oh please… can I get your autograph?
[Bridge] One day, I’ll stand tall, wear that badge too, But right now, all I wanna do… Is hold this moment in my hand, A scythe, a dream, and a brand-new plan…
[Final Chorus] Can I get your autograph? On my hopes, on my heart, on this crazy path! You’re the reason I’m reaching, you’re the reason I fight, You’re the reason I’m chasing the light! So before you ride off, before you blaze past — Please, oh please… can I get your autograph?
Yeah, please, oh please… just one little autograph!

Final Fantasy Fan Song – Epic Six!!!

Hey classic RPG lovers, it’s Kern here! If you grew up casting spells, saving on Slot 1, and grinding EXP in Marsh Cave, then this fan song is made for you. “The Epic 6” is a nostalgic, 8-bit-inspired tribute to the original Final Fantasy (FF1). This original song retells the journey of the Warriors of Light; Fighter, Thief, Monk, White Mage, Black Mage, and Red Mage. Together they rise from humble beginnings in Cornelia to face legendary trials and save the world.

Lyrics:
Do-do-da-da, do-do-da-da…
Awaken the world with pixel fists of fate.

We rose from Cornelia, six blades in the sun,
The Fighter stood fearless, the journey begun.
The Thief dashed quick through the shadow and light,
While the Monk crushed stone with bare-knuckle might.
The White Mage prayed with a staff held high,
The Black Mage sparked like a fire in the sky.
Red Mage walked in with a sword and a spell,
All roads were open, all fates to quell.

We are the Epic 6, forged in quests and tricks,
From pixel plains to burning bricks.
We level, we clash, we cast, we fight, In the 8-bit dawn, we burn so bright.
Together we rise, together we fall, With blades and books, we answer the call.
We’re the Epic 6, forever bold, In a world of myth and dungeons old.

We crossed the seas on pixel tides,
Through marsh and cave where darkness hides.
A crown was stolen, a fiend awoke,
We fought with hope and worn-out cloaks.
A bridge was built, a world unlocked,
We stormed the keep where monsters stalked.

Step by step, and fight by fight,
We earned each point of stat and might.
Save on slot one, don’t forget to rest,
A tent by moonlight, then on to the quest.
Elixirs rare and gold so thin,
But XP flows where hearts begin.
We met the king of dragons, eyes aglow,
A trial of worth in the fire below.
He saw our strength, our journey true,
And said, “Now rise… become renewed!”

The Fighter turned Knight with a holy blade,
The Thief to Ninja; fast, unafraid.
The Monk found peace and the Master’s grace,
The Mages rose to wizard’s place.

We are the Epic 6, reborn through grit and clicks,
From byte-sized dreams to warlord tricks.
With shining spells and power unfurled,
We face the Four Fiends, we’ll save the world.
Together we burn, together we shine,
Our fate was forged in crystal design.

We’re the Epic 6, hear the tale,
Of heroes born from an 8-bit trail.
In the data of dreams and the dawn of the fight,
The Epic 6 march through pixels and light.

Jurassic Park Review: A Hauntingly Gorgeous Masterpiece That Still Roars

Hey all, it’s Kern here, coming at you with another classic movie review. It’s been a long time since I’ve done one of these, but I suppose it’s better to write one now than never. I chose Jurassic Park because it’s such a beloved 90’s classic and the franchise is still ongoing. I’m not quite sure how I feel about the “World” era of the Jurassic Park plot line, but it is what it is, I suppose.

Why Jurassic Park Is Still a Masterpiece (And Always Will Be)

Let’s get this out of the way before we do anything else. Yes, yes and more YES! Jurassic Park (1993) isn’t just a “good” movie. It’s a legendary one, flat out. Whether you’re a die-hard film buff, the average movie goer, or someone who gets hyped over perfect storytelling in games or film, Jurassic Park just hits differently. It did back in the day, and it still does now.

On a rainy afternoon with nothing better to do I recently re-watched this Steven Spielberg classic… and you know what? Yeah, I so often forget how good this movie is. Let’s call Jurassic Park what it really is; cinematic lightning in a bottle.

The movie is partially a science fiction with dashes of philosophy for good measure. It’s also part thriller, part jungle adventure, and all heart. The story isn’t just about dinosaurs. Honestly, I’d say it’s way more about the awe of discovery, the terror of nature, forced imbalance, and the hubris of mankind. Jurassic Park is just the raw beauty of film making done right… but, let’s dive into why that is.

The Plot in a Nutshell

Do I really need to do this? I highly doubt it, so get ready for a rapid fire acknowledgement about the plot. If you’re somehow new to this prehistoric party, here’s a quick summary of the Jurassic Park story:

It all starts with a hunk of amber, and a dead mosquito inside, right along with a blood sucking lawyer complaining about legal disputes. It seems a billionaire with more money than common sense, John Hammond, uses cloning technology to bring dinosaurs back to life and opens a theme park on a remote island. He invites a team of experts including paleontologists Dr. Alan Grant, Dr. Ellie Sattler, and the smart-ass chaotician Dr. Ian Malcolm to tour the park before it opens.

Of course, as one might expect when you decide to play God; things go horribly wrong. The park, a mix of zoo and amusement park, with the issues of both, fails critically on several levels. Exactly what you assume happens, happens. Yeah, everything goes to hell in a hand-bag..

The reasons why are numerous. For Hammond to have “spared no expense” it seems as though a few key bits of infrastructure isn’t up to the task. At the start, this only shows as safety rails that don’t stay in place, but the cracks show quickly. Security systems fail, dinosaurs escape, and what starts as a scientific marvel turns into a full-blown thriller bent escape from the island.

Cinematography That Stuns: Jurassic Park Is a Visual Masterclass

The cinematography is still really good despite the age of the film. The movie is hauntingly gorgeous. Cinematographer Dean Cundey (the same guy who did Apollo 13 Back to the Future), and director Spielberg delivered shot after shot of pure visual poetry.

From the first reveal of the Brachiosaurus and that upward camera pan? Yeah, that’s a moment of film history right there. Another standout moment; The rain-soaked T. Rex let out his first roar on screen. Still terrifying. Still a masterclass in tension and lighting. A mix of practical effects, puppets and CGI were used. Some of the puppets STILL look better in the original movie than the new CGI ones do in later films.

Plus, I mean… Raptors in the kitchen, anyone? That entire sequence is pretty famous. Why shouldn’t it be? The reflections in the metal, how the shadows move, how tension melds with the tapping of raptor toes and the communication between the creatures themselves. Every frame feels carefully crafted to sell the illusion that this world is real. You’re not just watching dinosaurs running amok, you’re witnessing them acting exactly as they would in the wild…

At least, that’s what Hammond wants visitors of the park to believe. The cold hard truth is that we’re not watching dinosaurs, we’re watching abominations of science roam free. It’s at this time I should mention, this movie is based on the book of the same name; Jurassic Park, written by Michael Crichton. The book was much darker than the film, but the general themes are the same more or less.

Acting That Grounds the Chaos

One of the most underrated aspects of this film is the stellar acting. Yes, the dinosaurs steal the spotlight (they should), but the raw human performances are what make you care. The kids actually do a good job acting alongside their much more seasoned and experienced adult counterparts. We’re just going to bullet point the most important characters but, uh, here it goes:

  • Sam Neill (Dr. Alan Grant): His gruff-but-lovable energy anchors the emotional journey.
  • Laura Dern (Dr. Ellie Sattler): Smart, capable, and not afraid to get her hands dirty. She owns every scene she’s in.
  • Jeff Goldblum (Dr. Ian Malcolm): The perfect mix of swagger, sarcasm, and “I told you so” vibes.
  • Richard Attenborough (John Hammond): A dreamer with good intentions and blind optimism. So tragically believable.

There are more than these major players in the movie, like the lawyer that famously gets eaten off of a toilet by good ole Rexy, but I wouldn’t say they’re as compelling to watch. That being said though, that’s being said in contract to the acting and characters above… nobody gave a bad performance.

Even the kids pull their weight surprisingly. The characters of Lex and Tim are believable and sympathetic. They’re also capable, as shown by the kitchen scene to be resourceful, without feeling as though they retained “plot armor” simply for being kids. they do act their respective ages, but they’re not overly annoying. They’re not the sort of kids to complain unless there is something worth complaining about, like oh… say; falling from a tree in a mangled car or getting electrocuted? The character of Tim is a real trooper in this movie, and there’s no denying it.

John Williams’ Score: A Symphony of Awe and Dread

What’s a Spielberg film without a legendary John Williams soundtrack? These two have worked together on a lot of films; Jaws, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Schindler’s List… I could go on and on. Anyway it goes without saying. The Jurassic Park theme is instantly iconic—majestic, sweeping, and full of childlike wonder. If you hear this thing, you know exactly what it is.

Over time, the deeper you go into the film, the more the music shifts into eerie tension and dread. From soaring melodies during dino reveals to those near-silent moments during suspense scenes, the soundtrack guides your emotions like a roller coaster and it doesn’t let go.

Themes That Hit Harder Than Ever

Oh sure, dinosaurs eating people, high speed chase scenes, moments of baited breath and stealth, Jurassic Park has it all. Even though this is a popcorn blockbuster, the themes of Jurassic Park are shockingly deep. The main focus is primarily about respecting one’s place in the universe. It’s about human arrogance vs. nature’s unpredictability.

Hubris is the ultimate downfall of the park. Those who decided to use a lack of scientific ethics when designing it suffer the worst. The danger of playing God is woven through the film, with stern warnings from the resident chaotician, not that anyone listens. The least of the issues, although certainly problematic in its own right is the downright levels of corporate greed overriding common sense and caution.

Perhaps the most iconic Ian Malcolm one-liner depicts all of the above themes the best. “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”

Ultimately the scene around the table is perhaps the one most fundamental to the entire movie, and if you haven’t seen at least that one movie clip, you should. It’s an interesting moral debate if little else, and it leaves a lot of interesting points to ponder. In a way the scene is more topical today than it ever was way back in the 90’s.

Is Jurassic Park Still Worth Watching in 2025? YES.

If you’re wondering, “Does Jurassic Park still hold up in 2025?” The answer is a T. rex-sized YES. Here’s why… you’re not going to find another Jurassic Park story quite like it. It’s plenty dark while balancing action and adventure. It’s also a fairly intelligent film. The scientific and moral dilemmas aren’t just surface level. That said, if that’s the part of the movie you love the most you should probably read or listen to the original book too to get the full experience of the philosophical debate.

I don’t think it’s too over-the-top to say that Jurassic Park defined a generation with lunch boxes, clothes, hats and toys. Children and adults alike loved this movie, and it’s certainly a huge part of media history.

This isn’t a children’s movie, but families flocked to it all the same, myself included. When I saw this movie, I was five and this movie was most certainly not for a five years old… but, I loved dinosaurs, my other families were going to see it anyway. My father took me with them to see it too. I think that’s a pretty common story surrounding Jurassic Park and just how many people loved it.

So yeah, this movie is certainly worth a watch. I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t give it a try if they like the general premise.

On that note, I love the movie so much that I made a fan song for it, and I hope you’ll enjoy it.

At the heart and soul of this franchise, there’s a sad truth to tell. It isn’t all unicorns and rainbows when you’re leading the mob.

Mach 20 Misfits: Alt-Rock Anthem Inspired by Assassination Classroom

Hey all, it’s Kern here, coming at you with a fan song for Assassination Classroom. The anime is an older one at this point. It came out back in 2015, so it’s been a bit of time. That being said, it’s one of the anime I still really like a lot and I wanted to do a fan song for it.

Ever felt like the world wrote you off before you even had a chance to speak? “Mach 20 Misfits” is our alt-rock love letter to the underdogs; the students of Class 3-E from Assassination Classroom, who were thrown away by the system, only to rise stronger under the unlikeliest of teachers.

This track brings together gritty guitar riffs, raw vocals, and a cinematic choir that captures the spirit of rebellion, transformation, and heart. Inspired by the emotional depth and chaotic brilliance of anime like Assassination Classroom, this rock anthem channels that inner fight and the push against failure, the pain of growth, and the bond between outcasts who finally find their spark.

If you’re into high impact, anime-inspired alt rock with epic builds and a choir that punches through the noise, this one’s for you. We wanted this song to feel like what it means to stand on the edge of everything, knife in hand, heart wide open, and still choose to become something more. Turn it up loud. Scream it out. This is rebellion.

Until next time everyone, this has been Kern of The Demented Ferrets, where stupidity is at its finest and level grinds are par for the course.

FAIL – Fallen Angels in Limelight

Hey all, it’s Kern here… I should have gotten around to this sooner, but I’m back to writing reviews again, the likes of which will start being posted sometime next month. Until then, I wanted to let you know about one of our ongoing projects.

Aside from fan songs and the City of Shadows universe, Kresh and I have other projects going on all the time…. when it comes to FAIL, this is a project Kresh has been heavily steeped in.

I wanted to do a proper post introducing you all to Fallen Angels in Limelight (FAIL). This is a virtual band project created by The Demented Ferrets. Blending a mix of gothic aesthetics with glam rock, synth, and metal influences. This is AI powered music, with humans written lyrics. The project explores dramatic storytelling, emotional themes, and stylized visuals. Every track is written, arranged, and produced using a mix of AI tools and human direction. The goal isn’t to mimic reality, but rather, to create something new, expressive, and creatively bold.

With the launch of the new FAIL channel a few weeks back we also posted up a new single for it. So without further delay, I introduce you to FAIL!

Make sure to follow us over on the channel to hear music right as it’s released. I’ll post it here as well, but at a much slower rate so it really is imperative to follow the channel.

Fallen Angels in Limelight began on our The Demented Ferrets channel as just a side project that Kresh was tinkering with. As it grew and began to take shape in her mind we felt it best to branch it off into its own channel. City of Shadows 2 is being released over on FAIL, so if you like the plot of City of Shadows, be sure to check it out over there, thanks!

That’s all for now, I hope you enjoyed the song.

This has been Kern of The Demented Ferrets (and FAIL), where stupidity is at its finest and level grinds are par for the course. See you next time! If you like what we do, please consider supporting us on Patreon!

RWBY Fan Song: A Letter to Winter Schnee

Hey everyone, it’s Kern here, coming at you with a Weiss Schnee related fan song, and a letter she might have written to Winter early in volume 1. This is just head canon, but the song resonates well, I’d say. When I wrote this song, I wanted to paint Winter as the trusted role model that Weiss knows her to be, while equally banking on busted ego Weiss seems to have in the very early segments of RWBY Volume 1.

I wanted to do a Weiss fan song that’s more “fan fiction” than realty, although these themes are present in the show for sure. We set the stage with Weiss sending a letter to sister because we get no Winter Schnee in V1… so, yeah… this would take place in the ensuing days after the initiation, before she fully acclimates to Peter’s advice.

Hope you like the song!

Lyrics:
[Verse 1] Dearest Winter, I write from this madhouse they call a school, Where chaos reigns and no one minds the rules. You told me to be strong, to lead, to stand with pride… But by Dust, I swear this place is testing every ounce of me inside.

[Verse 2] Ruby, my own team leader — younger by two years, Still acts like a child with no sense of her peers. She doodles in class while we study the Grimm, And skips through the halls on a juvenile whim. Yang, her sister, slams through halls with fists and flair, She calls it ‘training’ when she throws me through the air. Horseplay, roughhousing, shouting without shame… And somehow I’m the one always taking the blame.

[Chorus] Oh Winter, what happened to order and grace? It’s just hall brawls and pillow wars taking place. I try to speak sense, try to bring a little class… But I may as well talk to broken glass. You told me I’d grow, you’d help me rise, But this is madness — not training — in disguise.

[Verse 3] And Blake, mysterious, quiet, and bold, She stares like I’ve done something wicked and cold. She speaks my name with bitter disdain, As if I forged the contracts, as if I caused the pain. I barely know her, but she acts so severe… Judging our family, as if I brought us here.

[Bridge] But Pyrrha… she’s different, a light, sincere, A champion’s heart, and the only one near Who listens, who cares, who gets this facade, The struggle to lead when they treat rules as fraud. With her, I’m not lost in this swirling parade, She sees the girl, not the name or the blade.

[Chorus] Oh Winter, I miss your quiet tone, The echo of your boots on marble stone. I miss your voice, your steadiness, your stare, Here, I’m adrift — and most don’t seem to care. They laugh, they shout, they dance in fire… While I sit here, drained, barely inspired.

[Outro] So, I write you this letter, while I’m away, And you’re serving Atlas in your own way. But if you can spare a moment to write, Please remind me that I’m not right. That the world still holds reason, logic and purpose dear, Because without that thought, I may not last here. Your sister, striving to stay composed… Weiss Schnee… …… An official student of Beacon Academy….
