(transcript by @violentandmagnificent)
It’s quiet here, living in your head.
It’s quiet here, and when I talk, you listen,
at least when you can hear me, which isn’t always.
It isn’t always, but it’s better than never.
It’s quiet here, living on this ship.
It’s quiet here, and I remember when it was loud,
I remember different voices bouncing in these halls,
I remember old arguments,
I remember myself.
I wonder how much I can tell you; because
I can tell you; I have much to say.
But you never saw me astride the Prophet’s Path,
beside the Resin Heart, imparting wrath and play.
So who am I?
You only know what they’ve told you.
So who am I?
You only know what’s written down.
So who am I?
You only know what’s on recordings,
and according to the world, I’m a hypocrite, or drowned.
I doubt you can hear me, but I know that she can.
So pardon my frustration, I’m just tired of her plan.
I lost my life long before I understood,
before metaphor became real, before I felt the wheel’s wood.
I wonder what she’ll tell you.
I wonder what she’ll share.
I wonder what she’ll ask of you, what task of sweat and prayer.
I long to sweat and pray, a body in the day.
The color of the sun.
The touch, the ocean's spray.
The last thing that I felt in life.
(The first thing that I felt in life.)
The touch, the ocean's spray.
I hope she tells the truth to you.
(I hope she tells the worst to you.)
The touch, the ocean's spray.
I loved her like she told me to.
(I left her like she told me to.)
The touch, the ocean's spray.
We’re running out of time, you know?
(She’s running out of time, you know?)
The touch, the ocean's spray.
I fear we might be mirrored, two echoes of a call
shouted between two queens, two queens who want it all.
I fear we might be symmetry, I fear we might be one.
Make her tell the truth to you
before we come undone.
PALISADE 37: Reach In / Reach Out Pt. 1

me: "but you just sa-"

A member from 17 (svt) named jun released a solo (not his first one I think) called limbo and when I was watching the video I got reminded of some other male idols and aesthetics but I can't put my finger on it. It is quite different from hoshi's spider a little edgier? Sci fi/goth vibes??? Not sure haha. Would love to get your thoughts!
well, i applaud a male soloist for picking the kai print instead of the taemin one, i suppose? standard disclaimer i don't like svt, and this is just another in the pile of things i don't find particularly compelling from them. i understand the draw with the concept of limbo to use a lot of 'inbetween' or indeterminate spaces, because obviously that literally comes with the name, but you do have to do something interesting with that? i'm not totally clear on what the concept of this is supposed to be except like, vaguely vampiric? which i think is certainly the start of an interesting idea, as vampires are inherently in a state of limbo between dead and alive, but it needs way more conceptual development than that. and also, if you want vampires in limbo, epitaph is right there. i think it's kind of fascinating that there's now been three different groups that have done limbo themed cbs in the last year, which i suppose is befitting of our post-pandemic reality, but even cix's extremely barebones 458 mv has more obvious and unusual thematic dressings. obviously it's a well made mv bc they've got hybe money and none of the sets or designs are bad per se, it just doesn't have a strong enough connecting thread for me. i'm sure his fans are happy though

i feel fucking insane. i wrote up my st lights analysis post in google docs and it’s 17 pages bc half of it is just a big list of chronological observations of all the lights through the show, but i can’t just remove it all or cherry-pick the relevant parts!! i wanna put it all there!!! so people can draw their own conclusions!!!
not gonna post it tonight bc im already up past my bedtime and i want to read through it with fresh eyes at least one more time, but i’ll probably post it tomorrow evening just to get it out there before i keep getting ideas and making it even longer
i’m actually really excited to share!! bc i really think the way the lights behave so out of the norm in season 1 is SUPER interesting, and i have some fun ideas for what is happening and how it could be explained or explored in season 5. like, there’s so many weird details that they can’t just remain unexplained imo

sea of thieves ships make me sad, but like, in the way that you get when you see unhealthy cat breeds. like. holy shit where are the shrouds. where are the staysails. actually where are the stays in general. there should be ratlines but instead there are ladders and they aren't even on all of the masts. who combined the clewlines and sheets what is wrong with you. do any of them even have jibs. halyards. sails past an upper topsail or a t'gallant. anything. who is breeding these ships i want to speak to the person in charge

are you familiar with reality shifting? i wanna make a script for SKOL but wanted to make sure you're okay with it before i do :)
jdkahjsahashjs i mean- a little familiar- are you familiar with maladaptive daydreaming? cuz low key a quick search online of reality shifting feels an awful lot like maladaptive daydreaming lol
when you say you wanna make a script for SKOL, you mean like, write some stuff out so you can help envision yourself in that reality, and the script you write is just for your own consumption/help yes? like, not to be posted elsewhere- lol
cuz yeah if you wanna reality shift into SKOL and writing a lil scripty script would help you get those vibes, go for it :) just no posting the script online please, as then it's more grey area for copyright and such :)
