❁ Overlord is a Japanese light novel series written by Kugane Maruyama and illustrated by so-bin. It began serialization online in 2010, before being acquired by Enterbrain. Thirteen volumes have been published since July 30, 2012. The author has stated that he has planned for 20 novels but with enough popularity may continue further. A manga adaptation by Satoshi Ōshio, with art by Hugin Miyama, began serialization in Kadokawa Shoten's manga magazine Comp Ace from November 26, 2014. Both the light novels and the manga are licensed in North America by Yen Press, with a release date of November 8, 2016 ❁

❁ Plot ❁

❁ In the year 2126, a Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game or DMMORPG called Yggdrasil was released. It stands out among all other DMMORPGs due to its unusually high ability for the player to interact with the game. After an intense 12-year run the game servers are about to be shut down. Within the game exists a guild, Ainz Ooal Gown, once consisting of 41 and credited as one of the strongest guilds in the game. Now only 4 of the remain, the other 37 having quit the game. Of those 4 only one, an elder lich character named Momonga, continues to play as the guild leader and maintaining their headquarters, The Great Tomb of Nazarick. In the minutes before the shutdown, he invites the remaining guild but of those only one appears and only for a short while before leaving. While saddened by this, he accepts the reality that his friends have their other lives (both lives are real) to take care of and decides to stay logged in until the servers shut down ❁

❁ When the shut-down time arrives, however, Momonga finds that the game hasn't vanished. Instead it appears as if Yggdrasil has been recreated as its own reality along with its various NPCs having been brought to life while Momonga has been trapped in the form of his game avatar, leaving him unable to use the normal player functions, such as General Message, or even to log out. With no other option, Momonga sets out to learn if anyone from the real world is also in this new world with him. Taking on the name of Ainz Ooal Gown, a message to any other players, Momonga begins exploring the world in an attempt to figure out what has happened while searching for anyone or anything that could help him solve this mystery, while ensuring the safety of Nazarick. Ainz Ooal Gown seems to have modifications made to his behavior by in game mechanics, as such killing and other societal concepts that are normally disturb seem to have no influence on the now skeleton man. This is a story about the psychology of such implication and the nowadays world's strongest creature ❁

❁ A little information about a character from Overload ~ Albedo ❁

"Overseer of the Floor Guardians Albedo, at your command."- Albedo's Introduction

❁ Albedo (アルベド) is the Overseer of the Guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. She is in charge of the general management and supervises the activities of the seven Floor Guardians, meaning that she ranks above all the other NPCs in Nazarick. She is the middle sister of the older sister Nigredo and younger sister Rubedo. Along with her sisters, she was created by Tabula Smaragdina ❁

❁ Appearance ❁

❁ An impeccable beauty, Albedo is a woman with lustrous jet-black hair and the face of a goddess. She has golden irises and vertically split pupils; on her left and right temples are two thick horns protruding crookedly, and on her waist are a pair of black angel wings ❁

❁ Albedo wears a pure white dress with silky gloves covering her slender hands and a golden spiderweb necklace that covers her shoulders and chest. In combat, she wears an impressive black full plate armor with a unique helm and carries a battle-ax with her ❁

❁ Personality ❁

❁ Extremely loyal and in love, Albedo is infatuated with Ainz as programmed by him, often showing obsessive tendencies when it comes to his affairs. She is always vying for Ainz's affection, showcasing outbursts of jealousy whenever anyone else appears to be getting close to him. Yet despite this, she states that as the Supreme Ruler, it would be bizarre for him to only take one wife, implying that she would be content with him taking others as wives as long as she was the one he loves the most ❁

❁ Among all the Guardians, she is the most vocal when it comes to expressing her opinions. She will openly denounce any statement or action deemed inappropriate, reaching the point where Ainz sometimes considers it an annoyance ❁

❁ As the Overseer of the Floor Guardians, she is very levelheaded. Albedo can make calm and collected judgments that even Ainz, sometimes, doesn't think of. She takes Ainz's orders as a top priority and absolute, punishing anyone, even a Floor Guardian, who'd dare to belittle his orders. According to Ainz, he can sense that Albedo has a hate for humans which the latter calls them an inferior species ❁

❁ Background ❁

❁ Albedo and her other sisters were created by Tabula Smaragdina. She was originally programmed to be a slut, but Momonga altered her personality and changed her setting to be madly in love with him instead ❁

❁ Lyrics ❁

I'm so tired of pretending

Where's my happy ending?

I followed all the rules

I drew inside the lines

I never asked for anything that wasn't mine

I waited patiently for my time

But when it finally came

He called her name

And now I feel this overwhelming pain

I mean it's in my veins

I mean it's in my brain

My thoughts are running in a circle like a toy train

I'm kinda like a perfect picture with a broken frame

I know exactly who to blame

I never thought of myself as mean

I always thought that I'd be the queen

And there's no in between

'Cause if I can't have that

Then I would be the leader of the dark

And the bad

Now there's a devil on my shoulder

Where the angels used to be

And he's calling me the queen

Being nice was my pastime

But I've been hurt for the last time

And I won't ever let another person take advantage of me

The anger burns my skin, third-degree

Now my blood's boiling hotter than a fiery sea

There's nobody getting close to me

They're gonna bow to the Evil Queen

Your nightmare's my dream

Just wait until they fall to my wicked schemes

I never thought of myself as mean

I always thought that I'd be the queen

And there's no in between

'Cause if I can't have that

Then I would be the leader of the dark

And the bad

Now there's a devil on my shoulder

Where the angels used to be

And he's calling me the queen of mean (calling me, calling me)

The queen of mean (calling me, calling me)

The queen of mean (calling me, calling me)

Something's pulling me

It's so magnetic

My body is moving

Unsure where I'm headed

All of my senses have left me defenseless

This darkness around me

Is promising vengeance

The price that I'm willing to pay is expensive

There's nothing to lose

When you're lonely and friendless

So my only interest is showing this princess

That I am the queen

And my reign will be endless (endless)

I want what I deserve

I want to rule the world

Sit back and watch them learn

It's finally my turn

If they want a villain for a queen

I'm gonna be one like they've never seen

I'll show them what it means

Now that I am that

I will be the ruler of the dark and the bad

'Cause the devil's on my shoulder

Where the angels used to be

And he's calling me the queen of mean (calling me, calling me)

The queen of mean (calling me, calling me)

I want what I deserve

❁ Meaning ❁

❁ Simply put, Sarah Jeffrey’s “Queen of Mean” is a song based on the narrator taking on a vengeful disposition towards life due primarily to being slighted by the man she loves. That is to say her boyfriend deserted her for someone else. And such has attributed to her adopting a bitter attitude. However this is just the basic of her " meanness ". On another thought, she thinks karma has shortchanged her in general. And despite being " nice " all her life , she only recived in pain. And this overwhelming depression has led her to being forsaken of "goodness" and become "evil" ❁

❁ The entire song of concept of this song , is the singer considering herself as the "queen". And how she used to be her " nice " self but after being the " Angel " she didn't got what she wanted but only pain, so her " Evilness " also referred as to the " Queen of means " or " Evil Queen " woke up and took over her. And she has dedicated it to her in the song that 'She takes whatever she wants' at any cost ❁

❁ The television movie this song came from is “Descendants 3”. It made its premiere via on Disney Channel on 2 August 2019. During the scene in which it is featured Sarah Jeffery’s character, Princess Audrey, steals the crown which rightfully belongs to the Queen of Auradon. Her ex-boyfriend, Ben, the one whom basically dumped her (due to being under a spell by her rival), is actually the King of Auradon. And after stealing the crown, Audrey undergoes the transformation which is detailed in this song ❁

❁ Reason and Preferences ❁

❁ The reason I wanted to use this song because this song really captivated me. Its really a sweet but evil song. This is not about a bad person..its just how a girl used to be sweet bad nice but all she got was pain and the pain and disappointment turned her evil and she wanted everything at any cost. The first time I heard , I really wanna compliment sarrah for her amazing voice, not too evil not too sweet ~ all balanced. The lyrics are really good and they totally express the character of Princess Audrey in the movie " Descendants 3". Plus even the singer cried when she read the lyrics. Overall it's one of my favorite one ❁

❁ And the nightcore creator did a great job too. The pitch and speed of it is perfect and it sounds so beautiful. I have to thank the creator that she did a great job on it ❁

❁ I think I will choose the nightcore version, since it's a evil song ~ it sounds good when its fast forwarded. I think evil songs sound better in fast motion plus it has a short rap part in the starting and rap songs sound more good in fast speed. But that doesn't mean I don't like the original one ~ its just that the nightcore one sounds more like a strong queens voice and the original one sounds soft hearted. Well its own opinion and preferences so don't mind much ❁
