#REALLY love the song

[putschki1969]

Under the Rain - Ambient Border

In 2023, the world is engulfed in nuclear flames. A nuclear winter has arrived and Earth has become inhabitable. The few remaining survivors are put into cryogenic sleep for 100 years in hopes of preserving humanity. During the span of these 100 years, many cryogenic devices are being affected by the cold and malfunction. Some of the only pods which continue working are the ones designed by Japanese factory “Urushibara Industriell”.​ After overcoming the ice age, a few people awaken from their hibernation and reclaim the world. 

Several decades have passed since then. The play takes place in Rengoku City, the world's only city in which civilization and culture still exist. It has been revived using Urushibara's android technology. The key to this successful reconstruction is human memory, the new energy source. Human memories are collected and preserved in so-called “memory balls” which are used as a means to upgrade AIs. ​Humans are powerless as their memories are being exploited while artificial intelligence is slowly gaining the upper hand.​ In the wake of this Urushibara dictatorship, resistance groups and bands of outlaws have formed to protect the memories of citizens. However, the technological “Singularity”, i.e. world domination of AI, is imminent. ​ 

In the midst of all of this, there is one man named Anji Akashi who is on the run with his sickly wife Leco Akashi. They encounter an AI named Asebi and Sho Yogai, the leader of a group of thieves called “Utsusemi no Mukuro”. Unbeknownst to Anji, they all have a shared history. An incident from five years ago has turned their lives upside down. However, their minds have been wiped clean using a memory ball and the characters are now partly operating on the basis of false memories. After a year-long search, Sho is finally in the possession of the memory balls which contain those precious memories from five years ago. The prelude transitions into the main part of the play as their memories start to unravel.

Character Description - Asebi: One of the androids manufactured by “Urushibara Industriell”. She is the type of AI that is equipped with the ability to “grow”. Among her fellow growth-type AIs she is the one that excels at sensing emotions and affections. By conveying said feelings in the form of “singing” she aims to break through the so-called “ghost-border” which will bring her closer to becoming more human.

In the above scene Urushibara scientists Anji, Sho and Shion are trying to teach Asebi, one of the company’s manufactured AIs, how to emote and  express feelings via singing. Meanwhile, Anji’s colleague, genius researcher Reiko, is conducting her own experiments with her android Cle-ar//. These experiments serve the purpose of making the AIs “grow” and pass the “ghost-border” so they can become more human and will no longer have to rely on stolen memories. If they cannot achieve their goal, the technological “Singularity” may be unstoppable.

C.C.C 10th Anniversary Stage 『Ambient Border』 February 5, 16h Performance  PART 1 & 2 ※ When I downloaded the play, it was split into two parts. I think it’s because the file was too big or maybe the video was too long for my download tool.

Major plot points below the cut (beware of spoilers)

Anji, Sho and Shion all work together at Urushibara Industriell where they try to make AIs more human by having them cross the “ghost-border”. One of their colleagues is Reiko, a genius researcher and the cold-hearted daughter of the head of Urushibara. She used to be Anji’s girlfriend but due to her growing up in a loveless and cruel environment, she never learned how to be in a loving relationship, she is incapable of showing love and sees herself as undeserving of love. This eventually made them break up. Reiko is terminally ill which is why she is looking for ways to escape her fate. Reiko’s plan is to transfer her mind into Shion’s body and become “post-human”, basically resembling an AI, becoming invulnerable and ridding herself of any human trace. Having taken over Shion’s body, she turns into the evil mastermind of Urushibara aiming for a complete technological “Singularity” and wanting all humans to take that final step towards post-humanity. In the wake of this incident, Anji and Asebi’s minds are wiped clean and Reiko’s body becomes a sickly and empty shell, she is subsequently referred to as Leco. Anji and her run away. Based on fragments of their mind and false memories, they fall in love, get married and build a life together over the span of five years. After becoming the leader of a group of righteous thieves, Sho finally finds the memory balls containing Anji and Asebi’s memories. With their memories restored, they all confront “Reiko” in a final battle. It is Asebi’s singing that saves the day. Music being the most universally human experience not only helps Asebi cross the ghost-border, it also awakens the dormant human traces in Reiko and prevents the android Cle-ar// from taking over world domination. Reiko learns how valuable human emotions are and that she is in fact capable of being loved despite her dark nature. To free Shion, Leco offers to host Reiko’s mind again despite having become her very own person with her own feelings and experiences. Anji objects this idea vehemently because first, he thinks Leco’s mind will be erased and he doesn’t want to lose the love that has grown between him and Leco in the past five years. Second, he knows Leco’s body comes with an expiry date and storing Reiko’s mind again would only make things worse. The solution is to put her into cryogenic sleep until they can find a cure for her ailment. Leco promises Reiko that during their time asleep she will show her what it means to be loved. When they eventually wake her up they realise that Reiko and Leco’s minds have merged. Reiko clearly remembers Leco’s love for Anji and is happy to be reunited with him again.

I am deeply obsessed with the manuscript as the closing track of the anthology. returning to that first big life altering heartbreak, the one that inspired some of the most acclaimed and beloved work of her career, but it's a distant past now and it's almost as though it happened to someone else. and then, in the wake of all the intense loss and turbulence that the past two hours have documented, she knows what the agony was for. because just like all that now remains of that past relationship is the art that came out of it — including all too well, a song that was changed for her over the years into something beautiful and joyful — one day all that will remain of this period will be this manuscript, this album and all its feelings that eventually won't even be hers anymore but will belong to her past self and to its future listeners.

#i made a post back when we all we had was the announcement and that tiny snippet of prologue #saying i loved the idea of an album exploring her role as a songwriter and we got that with this song i think #i can really see why it's the default bonus track for the physical editions #talking #taylor swift

love love love when songs have titles that either aren’t a lyric from the song, but rather a phrase or word that adds context to the song itself, OR when they have titles that are based on a line from the song that isn’t in the main chorus (or isn’t in the chorus until the end) which then emphasizes that line and reframes it as the main thesis as opposed to the chorus.

#mainly this is about the new will wood album but there are others #against the kitchen floor is SO GOOD guys #like the title could be #'im really trying' #or 'i promise' which are meaningful phrases in the chorus but NO #its against the kitchen floor! #because the whole song he has been pounding his head against the kitchen floor and hes done! holy shit i love words #text #will wood #music

Been wanting to draw some fanart for Poor George MAP since it's my favorite one, and because it was its anniversary recently, I finally did it :>

ID: A digital drawing in two panels with characters from Warriors. In the panel above, there's Yellowfang watching Brokenkit play with a moss ball, she looks endearingly at the little kit; they're in a green environment and plants surround them. In the panel below, Yellowfang is in the same possition, looking down at an adult Brokenstar at her feet, already dead, she looks sorrowful. Fireheart is by her side, looking at her with compassion. They're at ThunderClan's medicine den.

#irbis draws #fanart #warrior cats #warriors #warrior cats fanart #yellowfang #brokenstar #fireheart #firestar #thunderclan #shadowclan #cw animal death #animal death #poor george map #i really love this map. it brought me to tears at the part where yellowfang decides to blind brokenstar but still sees her little kit in hi #i remember when i first watched it i was procrastinating a very complicated project #i'm working in a quite stressful project rn too but ive got more sense of things and im almost done with uni!!! #and its still my favorite. i had heard of it like a week before it released and already liked the song aaa #and then the whole pacing was just perfect #also the scene where brokentail kills his father felt so real. i could feel raggedstar's struggle to survive #woaaah #very amazing map #AND THE CREDITS SEQUENCE #im gonna turn this into a ted talk goodbye

The Amazing Devil truly knocked it out of the park with Fair in terms of love songs i mean its got everything. Domesticity, deep adoration, confessions of love when youre sure no one else can hear, a that's what she said joke, yogurt, genuinely dont think there's a more romantic song on the face of the earth

#its everything 2 me you dont understand #the 'him' in that song.... hes so me #need to have a word with joey batey and madeleine hyland abt this one fr #god. the thats what she says joke almost reduces me to tears sometimes. #how unreasonably in love i am with everything you do!!!! #i cant even pick more lines from the verses to quote like its all so. waugh. #they werent lying that devil sure can amazing #their constant ability to marry small ridiculpus mundane things with profound metaphorical epic things really shines in Fair. idk #every time i see a bad taylor swift lyric in the next few days ill just listen to some tad to cleanse my soul #my shit #the amazing devil

As much as I adore conlangs, I really like how the Imperial Radch books handle language. The book is entirely in English but you're constantly aware that you're reading a "translation," both of the Radchaai language Breq speaks as default, and also the various other languages she encounters. We don't hear the words but we hear her fretting about terms of address (the beloathed gendering on Nilt) and concepts that do or don't translate (Awn switching out of Radchaai when she needs a language where "citizen," "civilized," and "Radchaai person" aren't all the same word) and noting people's registers and accents. The snatches of lyrics we hear don't scan or rhyme--even, and this is what sells it to me, the real-world songs with English lyrics, which get the same "literal translation" style as everything else--because we aren't hearing the actual words, we're hearing Breq's understanding of what they mean. I think it's a cool way to acknowledge linguistic complexity and some of the difficulties of multilingual/multicultural communication, which of course becomes a larger theme when we get to the plot with the Presgar Translators.

#imperial radch #also a great example of the 'you don't have to be Tolkien' phenomenon #if you want to think about linguistic differences by building all the languages in your setting #and being able to explain what those differences are through actual texts in the language in question #that's AWESOME #but it's not the only way to do it #it's also interesting because of course this style only works in book form #everyone's speaking different languages but in a written account they're all 'translated' for you #but of course if it was a TV series they would all have to be speaking a language the audience understands #(or you *would* have to go wild with conlangs) #and i think that's really cool as well-- #how for a series where song is so central we don't actually hear any of the actual in-universe words or any of the music #it's all been filtered #and again you know this is happening but seeing the examples of how real songs--the shape hymns and 'L'homme Arme'--are presented #makes you a lot more viscerally aware of how limited your perspective is #it's good #ann leckie i love you
