The Court Jester (feat. Fukase)

[@thquib]

STREAM ON SPOTIFY: open.spotify.com/album/2G9UrpdXOsxpB1IO0eUUqB?si=hjwcvfy5RjirjNOO9-Rffw Lyrics (there are a lot sorry): I am the jester, my job's to entertain And it seems that soon enough it too will be my job to reign Over all that you see, over all that you know As the king is slowly dying, any moment he could go Yes the king is slowly dying, any moment he will go Oh! Sweet memories, come rushing back to me as I trace my fingers on these haggard walls within your keep though my exile still stands, i heard my duty call to me because i am the court jester, I've grown tired of my sleep after all, i am the jester, and I've tired of my sleep what good is a crown if the brow it sits on is that of a dead man I'll wear my cap and painted smile with pride, my trusty baton in my hand and you will see me, sire, I'll make my way back to you you cannot stop me sire, your time is up, i see right through you Though resolute you may pretend to be inside your walls The people soon will realize that your feeble body can't forestall The inevitable end that we all will one day meet You are human, you are dying, yes i know it's bittersweet But you knew this day would come, and you can't borrow steal or cheat Yes, your maker gave you time, but you've run out, and soon you'll meet I was awoken by some nibbling in my brain A single thought, just like a knot, a stone, a weight I can't explain That sat there pulling me to consciousness and waking soon I found Myself entrenched in ancient earth, with roots and vines my arms were bound And in this post-hibernal state my mind was filled with clouds of doubt Were these my memories? or something else? and soon i felt the urge to get out Tearing, ripping, painful as it was Vines and leaves gave way easy just because All that's left in this world is decay; Soon I knew what caused me to awake With a newfound memory after rest I felt something bubbling in my chest Soon I felt myself losing control Peals of laughter rang into the distance from my soul I cannot recognize a single thing in front of me The world as I knew it now is gone, is this reality? Absurd and nonsensical, fantastical and daft All that is left to do is sit right down and laugh Oh this world that I left you in Has been tainted now by your sin And as such I have now taken it upon myself To reinstate the reign of laughter and in health I will return Oh I am making my way back I will return Soon the people will remember the reason why they burn And the fires in their might will start to turn Pointing fists and shouting out with no more reason concern soon you will see! the world will turn upon its head! just you hope that you can see it 'fore you're dead! foolish king, you sit in empty meaning on your throne But in my time away you've ended up alone oh, all the power in the world could never save you now as the time at which your curtain's called draws nearer, get ready to take your bow the age of reason is now drawing to a close! And now I, the mere court jester, will his majesty depose I will tip the gilded throne, in me the people will repose because i am the court jester, not all thorns come with a rose after all, i am the jester, and this future i propose: let the fool, let me, the jester, bring the olden tales to close let the fool, let me, the jester, a new saga now compose

Fun facts: • Court jesters wore normal clothes; only amateur jesters wore the iconic outfit • Jesters were used in battle to anger the quick tempered enemy and make them break ranks • They were the only ones allowed to mock the king, in fact, they were expected to • Kings would often turn to their jester for advice, as they were the only ones who would tell them when what they were planning was dumb, as they had no fear for losing their head from it • The jester would also have the job of delivering bad news to the king, which was very dangerous

[@pynked1]

Jester sounds like stressful but cool so work. Imagine just being allowed to mock the king. And the plainclothes part got me. I love jesters but I hate drawing the hats bc well hat. The plainclothes wants me to make a jester character in plainclothes, mocking kings and members of a team alike. They sound like a cool thing to do. Jester research time!

[@Vid_lurker]

Fun Fact - Jesters would could also do espenoge, and if a jester didn't want to be found, then they wouldn't be. Good luck finding them. They were like a mix between a Bard, Rogue, and a Fighter

[@MarcyTheKindaCoolWizard]

They were also very intelligent and educated people

[@theblueoist4374]

@LIM YANRUI ANNELIESE Moe this is also a reason why the joker/jester is the wild card in the game. They can act and play as any card due to them being extremely well trickers

[@decency2824]

Some jesters did dress in outfits but it depends on the jester. Also they were normally called fools with the term jester coming later. It was also a gender neutral position and their is also an account of a jester preventing an attempted assassin from escapeing.

[@digaddog6099]

"Jesters could also give bad news to the King that no one else would dare deliver. In 1340, when the French fleet was destroyed at the Battle of Sluys by the English, Phillippe VI's jester told him the English sailors "don't even have the guts to jump into the water like our brave French".[7]" Jesters seemed to have a lot of political power back then

[@rossbossdraws6350]

[@derpp7130]

In many European courts the jester was the only way that kings could gage their serfs opinions, Jesters held no Titles they were elevated serf and were massively important to maintain stability.

[@SunflowerJester_3]

[@myadventures5405]

Sometimes the jesters were the best advisors the kings could have for their wits and gags. For example, polish jester Stanczyk famously said "It is a greater folly to let out a bear that was already in a cage." after a hunting accident killed King Sigismund the Old's son. Many interpret that also as an allusion to not incorporating Prussia into the Crown after its defeat. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sta%C5%84czyk

The Court Jester actually had a lot more power then people realise, they were often close to the King and were among some of the only ones outside of the King’s personal friends and family, that could actually make fun and criticise him, they were even expected to do this and King’s would actually listen to and take advice from them. The only time I’ve seen it portrayed like this was in the Akira Kurosawa film ‘Ran’, amazing film by the way, wherein the old Warlord has effectively a Court Jester, but the Court Jester criticises him and makes fun of him and the Warlord actually takes him seriously.

[@nyx6319]

Uh, not sure if this counts, but I think they did the same concept in Stormlight Archive, but instead of Court Jester, it was the King's Wit. Although, I think he insulted everyone and spent his days travelling more than he helped. Sorry if that came across as rude, not my intention. Also sorry if I misunderstood anything--

Now we see who the real fool is, for the king mistook The Jester for a mere man. Blinded by his rage at truth, he buried The Jester deep into the Earth's heart, praying She could hold him back, but no, The Jester returns. A self-fulfilling prophecy, the promise of the King's death is. Without The Jester's laughter and goodwill, the kingdom crumbles under itself, and the people become restless. For The Jester was their joy, was their peace, and the foolish King's actions took him away. All it took was his return, that of The Jester's, to ignite the spark. And now, with an army of Man outside the Fool's door, The Jester breaks down the throne, and a new age begins... One where laughter is King.

Sharp, heavy breathing was heard through the battered castle. The King struggled to get up, attempting to push himself up with his arms. A foot slammed onto his back, stopping his struggle. The click of heels on cobble were ominously loud as someone moved in front of the dying king. Shiny ebony shoes stopped in front of him, the wearer crouching down and grabbing the King's face. "You deserve this you know," The person adorned in jester garb laughed harshly, "You've destroyed everything this country stood for, and if putting a blade through you is what takes to fix it, so be it." The jester took the king's crown, gently setting it down. "What good is a crown if the brow it sits on is that of a dead man?" They roughly grabbed the bloodied king's hair, pulling him up "As the time at which your curtain's called draws nearer, get ready to take your bow" They hissed to him before letting go of his hair. "Go on. Take your bow." The king complied, knowing no matter what, he'd be dead soon after. A blade plunged into his heart, courtesy of the jester he had betrayed so long ago. The jester dragged his body onto the balcony, where a crowd of the king's subordinates stood below. Screams erupted as they spotted their ruler's mangled corpse. But the jester just smiled and said "I am the jester, and this future I propose: Let the fool, let me, the jester, bring the olden tales to close. Let the fool, let me, the jester, a new saga now compose" He bowed, and delighted screams, cheers, and claps rang out. It was time for a new reign. Edit: Spelling. I meant battered and not scattered.

Okay this might just be me, but it sounds like the jester was buried alive. "I was awoken by some nibbling in my brain A single thought, just like a knot, a stone, a weight I can't explain That sat there pulling me to consciousness and waking soon I found Myself entrenched in ancient earth, with roots and vines my arms were bound And in this post-hibernal state my mind was filled with clouds of doubt Were these my memories? or something else? and soon i felt the urge to get out" He doesn't know where he is and can't remember what happened, but he suddenly wakes up "entrenched in ancient earth" in a "post-hibernal state". Maybe the king ordered to have him buried alive because he knew the jester was a threat? Or maybe he ordered to have him murdered, but whoever "killed" him didn't finish the job and buried him, thinking he was dead. Either way, the jester was already exiled, so it seems like the king knew that he was planning to steal his power. Also, what if the jester was poisoning the king? He says that the king is "slowly dying" but he never actually states why he's dying. My theory is that the jester has been using a certain type of poison that makes the king's health deteriorate over a long period of time. That way, everyone will think he's just dying from some mysterious chronic illness and no one will suspect the jester of trying to kill him. I am SO curious to know what the actual story is bc it's super interesting

[@pynked1]

Sounds like he was put in some other plane of existence. The nibbling thought might be some higher being. The tearing tearing part may be him ripping the reality apart. He is human, so he feels immense pain from it. The leaves and vines are the last thing left. He loses control to the being and burns the kingdom down. Ur theory made me think of this, and I think yours is really good!

[@sushicat2404]

That or it could just be since I think he's a robot maybe cuz you mentions about them being human a lot in the song so I don't think he's human himself and it could be his robot brain competing with like his consciousness I guess or his soul to complete the task he was supposed to do he might be a sentient like robot

[@kanamo6181]

To me it sound more like something like this . After his exile , the jester found himself in front of a demon-like sealed creature. The jester fuse him to free him , two becoming one. The jester get the new memories of this being mixed with his and inside-out , this New person find himself filled with confusion as they free themself from the demon's seal , now having a physical body. The simple thought was brought by the now other Half of the jester ; revenge. Together they sneak back into the kingdom to discover that the king is ill and soon will die . They start to make people think and inform them that "he"'s back and lead a revolution. When he talk to the king he was sneaking into the King's room and had a conversation before the king died of his illness in front of him. While the revolution take over the castle the jester take the crown and talk offer his New reign as the new king.

well this.. This gives me inspiration for THREE characters I’m writing, though I am by no means a writer, and another one not from the same universe.

[@solidsalt3412]

For you people like me who want to sing along 🎤: I am the jester, my job's to entertain And it seems that soon enough it too will be my job to reign Over all that you see, over all that you know As the king is slowly dying, any moment he could go Yes the king is slowly dying, any moment he will go Oh! Sweet memories, come rushing back to me As I trace my fingers on these haggard walls within your keep Though my exile still stands, i heard my duty call to me Because i am the court jester, I've grown tired of my sleep After all, i am the jester, and I've tired of my sleep What good is a crown if the brow it sits on is that of a dead man I'll wear my cap and painted smile with pride, my trusty baton in my hand And you will see me, sire, I'll make my way back to you You cannot stop me sire, your time is up, i see right through you Though resolute you may pretend to be inside your walls The people soon will realize that your feeble body can't forestall The inevitable end that we all will one day meet You are human, you are dying, yes i know it's bittersweet But you knew this day would come, and you can't borrow steal or cheat Yes, your maker gave you time, but you've run out, and soon you'll meet I was awoken by some nibbling in my brain A single thought, just like a knot, a stone, a weight I can't explain That sat there pulling me to consciousness and waking soon I found Myself entrenched in ancient earth, with roots and vines my arms were bound And in this post-hibernal state my mind was filled with clouds of doubt Were these my memories? or something else? and soon i felt the urge to get out Tearing, ripping, painful as it was Vines and leaves gave way easy just because All that's left in this world is decay; Soon I knew what caused me to awake With a newfound memory after rest I felt something bubbling in my chest Soon I felt myself losing control Peals of laughter rang into the distance from my soul I cannot recognize a single thing in front of me The world as I knew it now is gone, is this reality? Absurd and nonsensical, fantastical and daft All that is left to do is sit right down and laugh (Heehee) -- Oh this world that I left you in Has been tainted now by your sin And as such I have now taken it upon myself To reinstate the reign of laughter and in health I will return Oh I am making my way back I will return Soon the people will remember the reason why they burn And the fires in their might will start to turn Pointing fists and shouting out with no more reason for concern! Soon you will see the world will turn upon its head again! Just you hope that you can see it before you're dead! Foolish king, you sit in empty meaning on your throne But in my time away you've ended up alone Oh, all the power in the world could never save you now As the time at which your curtain's called draws nearer, get ready to take your bow The age of reason is now drawing to a close! And now I, the mere court jester, will his majesty depose I will tip the gilded throne, in me the people will repose Because i am the court jester, not all thorns come with a rose After all, i am the jester, and this future i propose: let the fool, let me, the jester, bring the olden tales to close Let the fool, let me, the jester, a new saga now compose... :) (Also, I realise the Lyrics are already there lol idk I was bored.)

I'm sooooooo glad I've found this song Truly amazing job! Jester type characters were always my favourite, even more as an antiheroes and such. It made my body become a living vibrator because of the shivers. Also, is it weird that I kept smiling even throughout the sad backstory part? The Jester here feels actually so alive, I wonder if he was used in something different, like an original story or some DnD campaign.

[@thquib]

[@Common_Knowledge.]

@@thquib Oh! Then that's even more amazing, since it feels like it has an even greater story behind it Truly great job, thank you for this masterpiece

[@baberymoose]

Sounds like a jester who was betrayed and killed by the king, brought back by some ancient power. The jester, now imbued with this power, seeks out revenge. Whatever it is that brought them back, it's skewed their perception of reality, the way the view the world. Have they reached understanding of a new reality? Or have they become corrupted? Well, that all depends on how the story ends :)

[@silliestbilly39]

As an author/animator, whenever I find songs that I like and that give me inspiration, I feel like I've found precious jewels in a desolate mine; and this song doesn't fall short of that. I especially love songs with a decipherable storyline, if you know what I mean. I can envision my own characters with this song, and it's so freaking cool. It tells a compelling story that makes you want to play it over and over again. I wish I'd found this sooner. TL;DR: I love this!!

[@fulana_de_tal]

The king died without leaving any heirs, so he left his trustful jester as his successor, but his cousin decided to assume the throne despite the king's wishes and the sickness that was slowly going to turn him into another dead king. The jester, being the rightfull successor of the throne and the only one allowed to contradict the king with no fear of being executed, called out the new king in contradicting the wishes of his cousin. The king obviously didn't like that, but he couldn't execute the jester, so he was put into exile. The jester kept conspiring against the current king and doing what he could to make the people know about thking's illness. Soon, the king heard about what was happening. Publicy executing the jester for that would still go against the laws and a bad move politicaly, so he paid mercenaries to bury him alive. The jester was poisoned to sleep and then buried, but something woke him up and he was able to crawl out of his grave and start a rebelion against the king by making every messed up thing about the government public. The king was executed by his own people and the jester was put into power to transfer the current system to a better one for the people of the kingdom.

The anthem for the morally ambiguous antihero who isn't bothered to play the villain for the greater good.

[@severalcakes3267]

In the factory district, laughter, high and cruel, snaked up to the sky with the choking fumes. Even as the king’s men fell upon him, the charlatan continued to laugh. Their swords bit into him, but they drew no blood from his body. At long last, his cleaved bones crackled apart into tangled twigs. His tongue uttered foul obscenities and treasonous proclamations until it blistered, and turned to a clump of nettles. Flowers bloomed under his eyelids, red and black as a declaration of war. He smiled up at his captors, but there was an old, old fire in his face, even as it disintegrated to dead leaves and muck. The king’s men slunk off into the night, hurrying like rats who’d sniffed poison and scattered. There was an ancient power coming out of the forest. All they’d done was destroy one of its seedlings. They went to the temples, and prayed to the gods of war and iron. They prayed they hadn’t made it angry, the Abandoned One, the Prince of the Forest, the Jester in Green. They prayed for the sake of their great king, who’d shaped the world into one of metal and concrete, and banished the capricious magics of the wild. They prayed for hours. In their hearts, the fear never left them. The scent of poppies became quite unsettling to them forever after.

@@ericthebmo3433 oh I got a whole list! Here! - Jesters were actually in the renaissance era, not many people know that. They just know they came from castle times. - before clowns existed Jesters filled the roles of performing in ciruses and fairs! -most people don't really know what exactly a jester does but the principals of entertainment they did were song, music, and storytelling but a lot of them also did acrobatics, juggling, joke telling likes puns and imitation and stereotypes and stuff and they also did magic tricks!! Most did jokes in song or word like modern day comedians. Comedians wouldn't even exist if Jesters didn't! - Jesters would also sometimes give bad news to the king if no one else dared to. - a Jester would almost never get executed - The jester most times was the closest one to the king, even closer than the queen - After the restoration, Charles the 2nd didn't reinstate the tradition of having a court jester, so sadly that was their downfall. - In the 18th century the concept of a jester had died out in Russia, germany, and Spain. -In France and Italy though there would be a small group of traveling jesters and they did puppet shows!!! - Jesters were vital on the battlefield -Jesters were actually the ones giving messages to other kingdoms Jesters I really like are João de sá panasco, Chicot, and Will Sommers. Theyre really cool- I think. - there were 2 kinds of jesters. There were the proffessionals and the natural. - Jesters were called Fools and Buffoons since the word 'Jester' hadn't existed yet! -Proffessional jesters could practice tricks and performances on their free time while Natural jesters had to do peasant work - Natural/innocent jesters were peopke with mental illnesses or deformities and were often kept in a degrading manner like a pet -most jesters wore whatever noblemen wore, though amateurs who really wanted to try and get a laugh would wear the stereotypicalized attire we see today - natural jesters had to sleep on the floor - jesters were often used on the battlrfield to taunt the other kingdoms - when other kingdoms wouldn't like the message the Jesters sent, they'd decapitate them or catipult them into the sky

(1:38 btw) He uses this to go through.being human, he feels pain. He loses control and succumbs to the being. Controlled by the monster on a different plane, he tears the kingdom apart. The being leaves him, controlling a burned kingdom.

[@carlosrabock]

Holy guacamole this song is good. The vocaloid voice helps a lot to disconnect us from the jester, it adds to the uneasiness of the whole song. He's supposed to have a cherry voice right? But he doesn't. He has one that doesn't show any emotion. I have a character that has the same vibe as the entire music. Most important things to know are: Rosits, the Clawthorn's and the Ancients. Rosits are basically human in appearance, minus the flowers in their head (though they can produce a human looking head), the Clawthorns are a family of Rosits that basically took control of all realities and the Ancients are the first gods to ever exist. Now to himself. This little dude guy is named Zacarias. This lil dude is also the jester of the Ancient Kingdom, who was created by the first gods. Zacarias survived by body swapping several times trhu several hundreds years, and as a side effect, and has basically fucked up his soul. Trhu body swapping this dude fused his soul with the soul of the previous owner of the body, and used said souls as a magic source. Because Zack did this his soul and body are at another level of destroyed. His voice is robotic, he tries putting emotion into it but only sounds like a robot modulating it's voice, his hair and flowers are plain white, all the souls inside him are under a inexplicable level of stress, his skin and petals are as white as his hair and flowers, his body literally can't produce the chemicals necessary for that, and the only thing that has color is his eyes and one single flower, who are a blinding blue, burning with the souls of those he stole the body of. You'd say he's a bad person right? How about you fuse him with the literal idea of Chaos and make him a puppet of Chaos? Wouldn't this be fun? In a nutshell, he became the jester and caretaker of the daughter of the Clawthorn's, Rose and Tulip. He one time accidentally hurt their daughter. Let's just say Rose wasn't pleased with that and used a Null Spell to negate the petals of Zack. Zack literally lost his soul, and the coupled with Null Sector death (basically a reality collapsing on itself, it sets the whole story off), basically killing him with a inexistent source of magic, caused a rift to open to the Earthbreaker dimension, where Kaos the god of Chaos resides in, and the god of Chaos just took hold of his soul. You know. To cause chaos. The rest that happens is the story itself. And let's just say that Zacarias wanted a bigger audience than only a family. If someone actually read this, yes I did the ultimate writer move and just dumped a whole bunch of lore into a random video. I love this story and I'll talk about it in any chance I get.

Reminds me of my D&D character Raziel. Hes a Bard raised in a band of thieves and being used as their prime distraction while they robbed people blind. ....I swear he's ridiculous when it comes to talking his into places or making a quick buck. In the last campaign, he talked himself and the barbarian into a castle to hunt down a fortune teller. He proceeded to convince all the guards the fortune teller was going crazy, and if the fortune teller were to act out, or pretended not to recognize him,, it'd be totally normal- But he was also super dangerous, so if he acts like that then they should be prepared to help restrain him. Him and the Barbarian proceeded to kidnap the fortune teller, sap him for info, and then killed him even though he led the fortune teller to believe they wouldn't if he cooperated. They then looted his body for everything he was worth and ran back to the party that, at this point, had split three times.

歌詞の意味も分からないけれどこの曲の 雰囲気とリズムに一目惚れしました。 たくさんのコメントに私は押し潰されると思いますが……

[@Fable637]

I listen to this on loops for hours and when I’m allowed to listen to music in school this is usually one of the top songs I turn to

[@johnsonshaw9319]

Lovely!!!!!!!!!! I came from a Panda's Channel to here after randomly stumbling about the song. I love how it was written, sang, and expressed!!! I don't have much idea about what really is going on in the song, aside from the version of what the story might have been offered by the Panda. In any case, thank you for the hard work!!! I can't pay for the song but I'd like to express my love for it here. Take care and stay safe!!!

Oh this song is just fantastic, do you allow using your songs for things like animations? (no monetisation and with credit ofc) (":

[@thquib]

YES OF COURSE!
