BEHIND THE SCENES
======
After 200 followers and 55 tracks, this account finally gets its first Megalo.
First off, the sick new thumbnail is by @shinyemerrald , and the Aftergore logo is by @repeatsc and Toadie
Thanks as always to them for their wonderful work.
“SO WHAT’S WITH THE NAME?” I hear you ask.
“Speicide” isn’t a word, but rather a pseudo-word made up of Latin roots. 6 years of education put to good use, amiright?
All the “-cide” words originate from Latin roots, with “sui” relating to self, “geno” relating to group, “matri” relating to mother, “regi” relating to king, et cetera.
“spes” is the Latin word for hope.
So “speicide” would literally mean “the killing of hope.”
Humanity gave the Underground a glimmer of hope for once, only for it to be violently snatched away from them.
This took some inspiration from the first version of Our Broken Constellations, as that Megalo manages to be an intense fight theme while also capturing a more somber mood.

200 FOLLOWERS? EXCUUUUUSE ME?

I don’t know what to say, really. I wasn’t sure we’d ever get here, but I’m happy we did. I think people are quick to rag on the community for being Megalo-centric, and while Toadie and I both think it is a bit much, I think it’s really a testament to the unsung greatness of this community that this account amassed 200 followers without a single Megalo. Don’t forget that, any of you. You don’t need to be the next Drop or churn out stuff you hate to gain a following. It’s all about patience and persistence. Staying determined, that’s what Undertale taught us best, eh?
Thank you to all of you for following this initially experimental account. I’m so honored, and I know Toadie is too. We’ll continue to make content for you to enjoy, and even though we finally posted a Megalo, it doesn’t mean this’ll happen super often. We treat Megalovania like any other track, we just wanted to wait this long to finally upload one. So stay tuned, I’m pretty sure you’ll like what’s coming down the pipeline.
And most importantly, thank you above all to @dashingtoadie-the-sequel, for being a blessing to this community and a constant joy to work with. You are without a doubt my best friend in this community, and the true hero of this account. I love ya, ya wonderful void person.
