- for @justrustandstardust <3
Daylight - Matt and Kim: one of the most iconic songs of my teenage years. I feel like me and Michael based our life off this song. Matt and Kim is one of the bases for the radio stations I picked for this playlist (the ones I listened to constantly). There will be more Matt and Kim on this playlist, but not enough. You really should listen to this whole album (this will not be the last time I say this)
Kids - MGMT: everyone knows electric feel. I picked the underrated classics I was obsessed with after I loved electric feel
Home - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros: a staple. so silly, but so iconic
Midnight City - M83: the first of the songs that I only listened to on Pandora & never learned the names/artists. also, became car commercial songs. banger
Is This It - The Strokes: you simply must listen to this album. half of it is on the playlist, but still you must. This album is the second base of a radio station.
Automatic Stop - The Strokes: listen, there's gonna be a lot of Strokes on this playlist. I fell in love with them listening to this radio station.
Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second - STRFKR: the second of the Pandora exclusives. why is it named that? so iconin
Float On - Modest Mouse: as classic as classics get
Hard to Explain - The Strokes: I found this album at the library and picked it up based on the album art alone. this was back when I got all my music from the library & burned cds onto my computer to make mix cds, listen in windows media player, or upload to my ipod nano
Flourescent Adolescent - Arctic Monkeys: we're in the pre "AM" era! their back catalog is so fucking good, and this is one of the best examples of that. I love this song
Soma - The Strokes: it's gonna be a lot of Strokes. trust me, it's authentic to the experience
Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand: ICONIC BANGER.
Breezeblocks - alt-J: (so groovy) another Pandora exclusive. mainstay on the channel. like these songs would play every 30 mins & I loved it
Song For No One - Miike Snow: ah! Miike Snow my beloved! never listened outside of Pandora for some reason but SO iconic. they were so popular
Loud Pipes - Ratatat: the beat just gets into your body with these ones
Shut Up and Let Me Go - The Ting Tings: Icons! defined the era. watch the music video.
1901 - Phoenix: we played this and the next Phoenix song so. fucking. much. goin hey hey hey hey hey hey hey!
40 Day Dream - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros: when you thought of indie, this is what you thought of
Skinny Love - Bon Iver: jk jk this is what you thought of. This was hipster before it got picked up by Hot Topic
Good Ol' Fashion Nightmare - Matt and Kim: full volume, windows down, 100 mph screaming <3 (I love this song sm)
Intro - The xx: another Pandora exclusive car commercial song but listen, I was obsessed. hearing these songs again is like waking up dormant genes
Lisztomainia - Phoenix: this song and 1901 are a bonded pair. do not separate.
Lessons Learned - Matt and Kim: it was so impossible to pick from this album it's all so good. let it turn your love into a coming of age movie
Sleeping Lessons - The Shins: The SHINS bro THE SHINS. every indie movie had the Shins on their soundtrack. They're so good.
Here (In Your Arms) - Hellogoodbye: listen I didn't want to pick their most popular song but it's so definitive I had to. I saw them live like 4 times. This album is so important to me. All my love songs for my 13 yr old relationship came from this album
Crystalised - The xx: not a listening session would go by that I wouldn't hear this song
All My Friends - LCD Sound System: he's so good
Oxford Comma - Vampire Weekend: THIS ALBUM IS SUMMER 2011. it was one of 2 or 3 go to CDs in my first car. I listened to it over and over and over again. it always brings me back to my ugly brown 2001 Chevy Malibu outside Michael's house, or driving down to the lake. I seriously couldn't pick songs from this album it's all one big song to me. formative. what else can i say.
Time to Pretend - MGMT: I'm feeling rough I'm feeling wrong in the time of my life. underrated classic
Cough Syrup - Young the Giant: a late addition but I know every word
Two Weeks - Grizzly Bear: THE Pandora radio song. I would listen just to hear this song eventually
We Used to Vacation - Cold War Kids: One of my favorite bands ever. Their first two albums were on repeat. This song is my favorite. It just rips something out of me
Rhinemaidens - The Envy Corps: The Envy Corps have made their entrance! I've seen them more than Hellogoodbye. The epitomal hipsters. and some of the best music of all time. They're absolutely foundational. (listen to the album!)
Pumped Up Kicks - Foster the People: The third and final base for a radio station is this song. That's how much I listened to it. One of those songs that just got into my bones. Forever favorite song it never gets old. also, listen to the album. so good
Animal - Miike Snow: the Miike Snow song. One of the first songs I ever discovered on Pandora <3

Walking On A Dream - Empire Of The Sun: I did not know the name of this song or the band or even recognize the cover art but I know this song. They put them in car commercials because they're good
What You Know - Two Door Cinema Club: this and the other two door cinema club song came up all the time. bops.
A-Punk - Vampire Weekend: (ay! ay! ay! ay!) most iconic riff of all time! can't understand a damn word but I was screaming them anyway (100mph)
Rill Rill - Sleigh Bells: (Pandora Exclusive!) iconic! can't help but groove to this song. the mood of this song is so representative of this lane of music
Something Good Can Work - Two Door Cinema Club: the opening to this song gets me so hype! I know you'll like this song
Dragon Queen - Yeah Yeah Yeahs: you know Heads Will Roll but did you know this underrated banger? they're awesome, their other songs should get more attention
Don't Slow Down - Matt and Kim: 100mph dancing like a maniac lol look I should not have been allowed behind the wheel of a car. Don't slow down (listen to the album!)
All I Want - LCD Sound System: he's just really good idk
That's Not My Name - The Ting Tings: we were obsessed with them. this song was everywhere
Story Problem - The Envy Corps: for the longest time I didn't know any names to Envy Corps songs because I mostly listened to them live, on a mix cd, or someone else was playing them. so i always got surprised by each song like, oh! I love this one! to be honest I still don't know the titles lol but every song is so damn iconic. at the concerts they would split the audience in half and have half of us do the "dada dada dadada da da da" part and the other half do the "oooooh wa oh wa oh" so you were singing your part throught the end of the song while they played. it was so magical <3
All Time Lows - Hellogoodbye: underrated banger. this album is like the definitive electronic indie sound of the mid-aughts
Somebody Told Me - The Killers: incredible song, incredible band. mainstay. they're so much more than Mr. Brightside
(starting the list over bc of tumblr's character limits. add 50)
Reptilia - The Strokes
Someday - The Strokes
Under Cover of Darkness - The Strokes: listen, this is accurate to how often they would play on that station. just Strokes back to back. and I loved it. their discography is just that deep. they don't miss.
Fell In Love With a Girl - The White Stripes: had to get some Whte Stripes in here. had to.
New Slang - The Shins: this song and Caring Is Creepy just, so iconic. they're so good
The World At Large - Modest Mouse: gonna float on maybe would you understand. ah ah ah ah ah ah aah (dashboard by modest mouse should also be on here but i couldn't find a spot for it :( played all the time) my thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth <3<3<3
Black Balloon - The Kills: does anyone remember the kills? I wanted to be them so bad. this was the era of iconic indie duos (ting tings, matt & kim, white stripes, she & him...)
When Did Your Heart Go Missing - Rooney: one hit wonders, my beloved
I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You - Black Kids: I'm convinced no one listened to this song but us. that's not true, and thank god cuase it's such a bop but we felt like we were in on a secret or something. the true 2010 hipster experience lol
Kid Gloves - The Envy Corps: I would literally put this song on a t work and walk around like I was a manic pixie dream girl in an indie movie. unironically amazing song tho (listen to the ep)
Henrietta - The Fratellis: there should have been four more of their songs on here. broke my heart to cut them
Phantom Limb - The Shins: I don't think I've said listen to the album on this one yet. the way this song just vibrates in you
Naive - The Kooks: another underrepresented band. She Moves In Her Own Way, Ooh La, Seaside!? all staples. I mean... if you need another album to listen to... im just sayin
Finer Feelings - Spoon: a bop. fun song <3
Mardy Bum - Arctic Monkeys: this was my first Arctic Monkeys song <3<3<3 forever. the coda is everything. god I love this song
Such Great Heights - Iron & Wine: listen, the original song by The Postal Service is so so so good and we listened to it just as much as this cover. this cover had us in a chokehold. go listen to the original tho. and the whole Postal Service album I promise it's so fundamental
Janglin - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros: the last of the three iconic ES&TMZs songs. This is like the progenitor of Stomp Clap corporate indie. everyone wanted to be them
Tighten Up - The Black Keys: the opening base notes on this song make me go feral. there should be way more Black Keys on here but if you have to pick one this is an easy choice.
Last Nite - The Strokes: the most iconic Strokes song. try not to scraem the first words. you can't. Last Night!
Australia - The Shins: time to put ear covers on! just makes me smile :)
All These Things That I've Done - The Killers: got us screaming "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier" (are we human or are we dancers is also the killers. icons of the era)
Two Weeks In Hawaii - Hellogoodbye: I felt so bad when your mom caught us eating ice cream in your room at three in the morning. the best parts of my adolescence consolidated in this incredible song. the first of this type of album closing song to deeply affect me (followed by only in dreams by weezer in college). coming back to this album was part of me coming out of my depression last summer. my inner child just lives here, and I love her so much <3
A Certain Romance - Artctic Monkeys: I don't know, this song just gives me warm feelings. I know every shape of this song. I'm pretty sure it's about how America is a cultural wasteland lol. over there there's friends of mine, what can I say I've known em for a long long time, and it might over step the line, but you just cannot get angry in the same way, no not in the same way.
Daylight Outro (Remix) - Matt and Kim: back where we started. thx for listening <3

I’m sorry if this is disrespectful at all, but how did the cluster realize they were OSDDID?
Tumblr media
Hello, Anonstar! This is a fantastic question, not disrespectful at all, no worries! Thank you so much for giving us an opportunity to talk about the Starwake System with xyr DID more! We have a post that entails general information of xyr condition here for an additional reference. While we will answer this question and cover few related topics around the Starwake System's DID, we will also be providing information with our own personal understanding and experiences with OSDDID to support certain details in the answer, as listed below:
 ⁰ Based on our own personal experiences and / or understanding with OSDDID.  ¹ Dissociative Identity Disorder Research (n.d.). DID Basics: Presentation.  ² Boyer, S. M., Caplan, J. E., & Edwards, L. K. (2022). Trauma-Related Dissociation and the Dissociative Disorders: Neglected Symptoms with Severe Public Health Consequences.  ³ Dissociative Identity Disorder Research (n.d.). DID Origin: Synthesis.  ⁴ Dissociative Identity Disorder Research (n.d.). DID Identity Alteration: Time Loss, Black Outs, and Co-consciousness.  ⁵ Encyclopedia of Psychology (n.d.), Dissociative Barriers.
Tumblr media
* Content warning note : This answer mentions ableism, general child abuse and distress, car accidents; deaths, mental health related denial, misdiagnoses, and general traumas; so please read with caution.
Tumblr media
Before we answer the questions of how the main Starwakers realized they have DID and were aware of each other's existences, it's important to first know the details of how the Starwake System's Dissociative Identity Disorder was formed, as provided from the study post that was shared above, along with the " basis " of OSDDID :
The first known alter is Micah Xenowake who developed Dissociative Identity Disorder when xe was five years old. Xyr mind fragmented from two to five due to the extreme stress Micah experienced in constantly moving between multiple foster homes, with the frequent changes happening in a short amount time of xyr life while feeling like a stranger in many homes, as well as xe faced every forms of abuse and neglect in several past families. From these events for three years, xe experienced episodes of dissociation and depersonalization before xe split off Phoebus, formerly known as Lyght, during a case when xe was trapped in a dark locked basement as forced to sleep there for the first time.
OSDDID is a mental condition that exists essentially to protect the individual from continuous distress and traumas while it can give them the necessities that people in the world have failed to provide. The quote, likely from this Tumblr post : ❝ I think ultimately you become whoever would have saved you that time that no one did ❞ is one of the best ways to explain OSDDID on its essential core.
Generally, in most cases, OSDDID have a covert nature and it is difficult to recognize in a person ( DIDR, n.d. )¹. This is to avoid danger and maintain protection within the system and the main fronting individual themself from traumatic events or external factors that is a threat to the system's and / or fronter's wellbeing ( i.e. abusers )⁰. Although there are severe health consequences that impact various life aspects in the long run from self identity and wellbeing, to personal relationship and academic studies, etcetera, OSDDID is meant to save the child, having symptoms like amnesia that acts as a defence mechanism to help them lose memories of traumas and dissociation as a form of psychiatric escape from traumas they can't physically retreat from ( Boyer et al, 2022 )².
Multiple alters exist in most systems, although depending on the alter's source ( that brought them into existence via splitting ), history, and role functions, as well as the system's level of amnesiac barriers and their current living conditions, they may not be partially to fully aware of some other alters or everyone else in the system ( DIDR, n.d. )⁴. This is generally because of the dissociative barriers that exist between the alters, which are psychological barriers that obstruct an individual’s ability to access memories or emotions related to an event, usually of traumatic nature ( EOP, n.d. )⁶. The barriers may prevent one alter to be aware of another, but some alters can develop certain degree of co-consciousness, ❝ the ability for two or more alters to remain present in the body or aware of the outside world at once ❞ ( DIDR, n.d. )⁴.
| Explanation of " Co-consciousness Levels " from the Dissociative Identity Disorder Research ( n.d. ) :
❝ [ . . . ] Co-consciousness is not necessarily extended to all alters. It may be that Alters A and B are always co-conscious with each other, but only Alter A can be co-conscious with Alter C. Meanwhile, Alter D may be able to watch the other alters although the others are not aware of Alter D and their activities in return, and Alter E might not be aware of any of the other alters nor any of the other alters aware of Alter E! Finally, Alters F and G might be co-conscious with each other but have to leave post-it notes for the rest of the system in order to communicate, and Alter H might be co-conscious with Alter A only some of the time or under certain conditions while Alter I has the ability to allow or not allow others to be co-conscious with them as they choose ( para. 5 ). ❞
Even though an alter is aware of the fronting alter who doesn't know they exist, depending on the system's current living environment and circumstances, the alter may not reveal themself to the fronter for many reasons from protecting the fronter and / or system while avoiding jeopardizing them, not feeling safe and comfortable enough for their existence to be known, to not finding it necessary for them to be a direct part of the system's life while they only prioritize internally stabilizing the system.⁰ However, the fronting alter may experience " partial intrusions " without knowledge or understanding of the sources if that alter is also present ( DIDR, n.d. )⁴. OSDDID having the covert nature in general explains why most systems don't realize they have OSDDID until later in life, especially at the age of twenties to even thirties.⁰
Tumblr media
Re : The Starwake System's DID discovery and awareness, Micah was the one who got the official diagnosis from xyr OSDDID specialist and therapist when the system in April 2023, the time when Micah and Adoniram had a car accident from an unknown cause. Micah tried to save Adoniram who was trapped in the seatbelts as their car was upside down with the oil spilled out, but before xe could get him out, Phoebus fronted, seizing full control of their body, and abandoned him to protect the system and especially xem, forcing Micah to experience a blackout before xe " woke up " on xyr hospital bed, learning that Adoniram disappeared ( but was declared dead by the officials when his body couldn't be find a few weeks of search and rescue after ).
It's important to note Astereus / the Starwake System was misdiagnosed three times : ( 1. ) Borderline Personality Disorder at age fifteen, ( 2. ) Bipolar Disorder at sixteen, ( 3. ) and eighteen with Schizophrenia while being told Dissociative Identity Disorder wasn't real. In addition, when Micah was eight, xyr amnesia and time losses from the blackouts was believed to be linked to extreme fatigue due to sleeping poorly, having insomnia. There was little information on DID nor general dissociative disorders at the time when Astereus grew up, hence, not many non-professional and professional people could understand xyr experiences nor have the knowledge to see the symptoms are based on dissociation and dissociative identity.
Micah's close friend and occasional detective partner, Daniel Darling, have OSDD-1, a partial form of DID, and after Micah shared xyr experinces of time and memory loses to him, from sharing similar experiences, he said xe could have OSDDID. For seventeen years since xyr third attempt of diagnose, Micah believed xe have Schizophrenia and xe was hesitate to seek diagnosis for the fourth time, but from Adoniram's first death that Micah have painfully failed to prevent it from happening because of the blackout, this gave Micah the push to reach out to xyr art and music therapist, Alyx, who referred xem to the OSDDID specialist and then finally, at the age of mid thirties, xyr DID therapist confirmed xe does have DID after all.
With the other main earliest known Starwakers' DID realization and awareness :
Phoebus : They have always known Micah since they were created, being co-conscious with them as Micah was in distress from being trapped in the basement that was completely dark. Because Phoebus have the main responsibilities of ensuring safety and stability within the Starwake System, they were able to keep close track of the system changes and alter creations while their co-consciousness developed further over time. From this, they were able to learn Philos' and Phobos' existences. Before, Phoebus couldn't understand how they and Micah shared the same body, but they had a strange tugging feeling akin to protectiveness with Micah that made them focus more on being with Micah rather than dwelling on the wondering of " what they are ".
Philos : In the beginning, she didn't know other alters existed until some weeks later since she came into existence, she met Phoebus in their internal world, although Philos only viewed Phoebus as an " imaginary friend ". It was when Phobos came around, Philos then came to a thought that there was " something wrong " with them, but wasn't sure how to describe this position. Philos met Phobos some time later out of curiosity, being drawn to its sharp and aggressive personality. Philos learnt Micah's existence at the same time as Phobos.
Phobos : Phobos also had no awareness of the other alters in the beginning, but at a certain point met Philos who sometimes visited it via sharing co-consciousness. Phobos thought Philos was a ghost possessing their body, but didn't make a huge deal about it when Phobos thought it was cool to have a ghost, even though it thought Philos himself was annoying to be with. Phobos learnt about Phoebus and Micah when they were a preteen, Phoebus co-fronting to stop it from retaliating one of Micah's and Adoniram's bullies who hurt them. Phobos didn't care about what they are or have to make them share a single body as long as it can have some freedom interacting with the outside world.
Ultimately, Micah was the only main Starwaker in the system who didn't have complete awareness of having other alters until xe was in mid thirties. The reasons Phoebus, Philos, and Phobos kept their existences hidden from Micah, even after a point when Micah was fully independent and free of continuous stress and danger, are that Phoebus felt as it'd be best to give Micah the most " normal and peaceful " life as possible that xe couldn't have when xe was younger, originally seeing this life they share was Micah's rather the whole system's. Phoebus was also afraid if Micah knew about their existences, xe'd shun them and learning the fact xe have DID would distress xem, which was a case as xe was in denial for a few months, having strained relationships with the others and especially Phoebus, before xe came to terms with xyr DID and everyone improved on communicating and connecting with each other since.
Although it took a very long time for the Starwake System to finally have the answer to what they'd go through from xyr DID, and the answer was overwhelming for especially Micah, they're all still most grateful they would find the time when they could understand their DID and each other more to hold a healthier and stronger system.

Quote
Within four years of her marriage, [Elizabeth Woodville] had become an exemplar of chastity in Antonio Cornazzano’s De mulieribus admirandis, which depicted her threatening suicide if forced to become the King’s concubine. Virtue was of course a standard queenly attribute, but one that it was especially important to emphasise for a queen of debatable social status. This depiction played into ffteenth-century literary arguments about the relative merits of noble behaviour and noble blood. Elizabeth herself fostered her reputation for virtue by choosing a deep red clove pink or “gillyfower” as her device which stood for “virtuous love and marriage and was also a devout reminder of the Virgin Mary’s own chastity and motherhood.”
J. L. Laynesmith, “Elizabeth Woodville: The Knight’s Widow” | Later Plantagenet and the Wars of the Roses Consorts: Power, Influence, and Dynasty (2023)
For some, the idea that Elizabeth’s personal qualities merited her status was clearly persuasive: decades later, a servant of the Howard family who had been at court later in the 1460s wrote that Edward had “attemptid the stabilite and constant modesty of dyvers ladies and jentilwomen” and could fnd none “of such constant wommanhode, wisedome and beaute as was dame Elizabeth.”

ON MY OWN
On my own when I was seven
orphaned, fostered to rich parents
at a mansion with a big plantation
only child adopted, status devotion
a pretty girl, pony tailed, gently sweet
Bubbly, smile a lot, small dainty feet
loved, pampered, soft red hair with curls
cuddly, tender, precious as a rare pearl
a favourite among guests, visitors too
relatives, friends, invited or out of the blue
At seventeen, young men lined as befits
to impress me with their charms and wits
including neighbors, just to mention a few
sons of my parents’ friends, and nephews
I was blessed from poverty to self worthy
I married at twenty two to raise a family
to an eligible kind and handsome bachelor
only son of my father’s brother, the elder
My son continues the name of the family
Edward l, Edward ll and I am Blessed Emily

FAvorite Movie Rambles :The Phantom of the Opera
So lets go into a movie that has recently joined my favorites list ,a film that I thought was OK the first time.....And now I adore it ,having seen it 6 or 8 times
Tumblr media
This 1943 film tells the tale of Erique Claudin (Claude Rains ) ,a violinist who has spent every penny he has to anonymously aid a young opera singer named Christine (Susanna Foster ),when due to a tragic mix up Erique goes mad and is horribly scarred ,but sseeks to aid Christine by any means necessary
OK so this is my favorite version of Phantom of the Opera......Hardcore Phantom fans are scratching their heads .See Phantom is a beloved story ,adapted multiple times,though its stage adaptation as a beloved musical might be the most iconic version .I have not read the book but I have seen many of the film versions and the 25th Anniversary filmed version of the Musical .In the grand scheme of Phantom adaptations, this one is not talked about a lot , its also a very loose telling of the tale,with some odd changes ....So why do I love it ?
Well It's so unique for its time period.See ,especially at this time at Universal,Horror films were B Pictures,black and white ,very moody.....Which this isnt...This is an A picture !! Universal wanted to make this movie stand out .SO instead of black in white,this film is in gorgeous technicolor and the production values make this a stunning film to look at . The film has a feel of a musical but with a killer in it ,which I think gives the movie a feel of all its own
Also the movie not only feels like musical,it kind of is one ,as there are many Opera scenes.Now I get how that can be a turn off ,I mean with Phantom of the Opera ya want more Phantom then Opera......But I actually love the way the film emphasizes the power of music both in its score but also in its story . I adore the sweet lullaby that links Claudin to Christine (I'll get to why later ).I also like how the movie opens with an opera,and while watching the performance we are introduced to most of the key characters in the story,what their deal is,all without dialogue .Yeah some of the opera scenes go on a bit too long ,but I cant complain about the gorgeous singing of Susanna Foster and Nelson Eddie
The films director is Arthur Lubin ,noted for his comedy films,so he brings a sense of humor to the film,which I appreciate .Theres a great running gag involving the Stage Managers paranoia over a ghost haunting the Opera House , and the always blustery J Edward Bromberg hams it up wonderfully hammy as the owner of the theater .However surprisingly the best comedy is actually the love triangle scenes .Now in most versions the love triangle is a big part ,between The Phantom ,Christine and Raoul ,the lovestruck young noble ,however with the changes to the Phantoms character (Get to that later ) ,that is not the love triangle I am talking about. So in this film there are TWO suitors: We of course have Raoul ,now a cop instead of a noble .....But we also have Anatole,the star baritone ! Funny enough Anatole is kind of more the Raoul character then Raoul is ,being the hero ,planning to catch the Phantom and he is styled to resemble Norman Kerry's Raoul from the 1925 film .Playing Anatole is singer and actor Nelson Eddie (Disney fans will know him as the Whale Who Sang At The Met ) while Raoul is played by character actor Edgar Barrier ,and both deliver great performance .SEriously the best humor in the film comes from them trying to one up each other ,they have great chemistry and I like the arc they go through together
The strongest aspect of the film is its Christine and its Phantom .Christine is played by Susanna Foster.....And she is my absolute favorite Christine ..I love her chemistry with her two love interests,she sings gorgeously ,she has a bit more agency then most Christines,and I like her reaction to the Phantom which I can only describe as someone stuck with an unhinged person and trying their best to talk them down .This Christine is a woman torn between her love for two men but also her ADORATION of music(And I love the end of the film for the decision she makes )
Christines adoration of music plays into the overhaul of the Phantoms and Christines relationship. In most versions its pretty standard Stalker with a crush thing.....But While the film brings that up as a possible motive for Claudin,the film also firmly puts its foot down that isnt what is going on.Now originally the film was going to protray Claudin as Christines long lost father buuuuuuuut given the usual Phantom and Christine relationship,Universal feared that might come across a bit incestious .So whats Claudins deal then ?Well my interpertation is that all Claudan has is music .He has no friends ,no family,only music ,and he sees a kinship in Christine ,who has that same passion as well as being from the same part of France as he is ,and this is shown in the lullaby they both know .His obsession is mainly around music ,letting her be the best she can be ,and he perhaps sees her as the daughter he never had
Now lets talk about the Phantom himself played by Claude Rains....Cause he is a very diffrent Phantom,but I adore this take .This version of Erik,or Erique as he is named in this film is not the manipulative almost supervillain most versions depict but a far more sympathetic antagonist,who before he goes mad is a very nice older man who just loves music who has lost his ability to play the violin ,spent every penny he has to aid Christine before his dive into madness and murder.....That said the movie establishes subtley that he is unhinged ,he is still obsessed with and kind of wierd with Christine and once he fears his music is stolen he jumps to murder pretty darn quickley . What I like about him is while he is tragic.....He's still creepy,he is a murderer stalking a woman . Claude Rains was a king of playing villains,and for being masked a lot of the movie you need an actor with a grand voice and you dont get a voice more grand in the 40's then Claude Rains .I think he really captures how insane he is,one of my favorite moments is near the end and you see this mad look as he gleefully plays his concerto .And yet Rains captures the sadness of the character .I also like his costume ,especially his mask ,it miught be my favorite Phantom mask .Also the chandalier fall is a staple of the story,,,,,And this has the best one ,being a tense scene of the Phantom sawing with a hacksaw.
I love this movie ,its a pers0onal favorite of mine,if you havent seen it check it out

Mormonism in Japan
By Elizabeth Mueller
Tumblr media
I write this blog with little previous knowledge about the Church of Latter-Day Saints. In high school, I had a teacher who converted to Mormonism, a couple years ago I watched “Murder Among the Mormons” on Netflix, and I always catch a glimpse of the gated LDS temple driving to this one restaurant in San Antonio, TX. I wanted to continue my blog trend of writing about subcategories of Christian religion in East Asia, so I decided to read into Mormonism in Japan.
According to most accounts, Gordon B. Hinckley of the LDS Church is responsible for fostering the Church’s engagement in Asia in the 1960s. While this wasn’t the first time the Church had tried to work in Asia, it would be their most successful mission that still continues today. Hinckley felt a need to replace images of war that dominated Western perceptions of Asia with images of faith. He wrote about his vision for the Church in Asia in an Improvement Era article in 1964. At the time it was written, the article helped overcome prejudice and increase international unity in the Church.
You can read the full article here:
Tumblr media
Page 192-193 of Improvement Era showing the three major missions in 1964.
As I mentioned, the story of the Church in Asia began with an initial mission established in Japan in 1901. Four missionaries led by Heber J. Grant set out to spread their gospel and baptize Japanese. On March 8, 1902, a former Shinto priest named Nakazawa Hajime became the first person baptized in Japan.
When the mission closed in 1924, the Church had only converted 166 Japanese in 23 years. Slow progress and the anticipation of international war were only a couple of the reasons for the Church’s pause on mission work in Japan. Japan was swept up in a wave of nationalism following major defeats of China and Russia at the turn of the twentieth century. Japanese expressed this nationalism through feelings in opposition to the West and a return to ancestral religions. Not aiding Japan’s view of the West, the U.S. Immigration Act of 1924 aimed at excluding Asians resulted in anti-American demonstrations in Japan. Furthermore, the actual doctrine of the Church was seen as a threat to Japanese culture and the Meiji
society’s ideals of civilization.

Missionaries constructing meetinghouses and temple steeple.
World War II reopened the door to missionaries with the help of a Christian boom ignited by Allied occupation. Missionaries returned in 1948 led by Edward L. Clissold of Honolulu who had been a naval officer during the war and knew many Japanese from extended time in Hawaii. Upon return to Japan, the Church found a small group of Japanese converts from the first mission retaining regular meetings. With renewed optimism, the Church grew quickly. By 1964, there were more than 7,000 members of the Church in Japan, which 1,500 entering in 1963 alone. Missionaries still found proselytizing difficult across cultural and political barriers, but they distinguished themselves from other foreigners by “sleeping on the floor, eating rice with chopsticks, and speaking Nihongo” (from Improvement Era).
Tumblr media
In the 1970s, a temple was constructed in Tokyo—the first temple in Asia and the first in a non-Christian country. This is an image of Tokyo Japan Temple today.
Today, the LDS Church in Japan has over 130,000 members spread across 251 congregations. Cultural obstacles are still main barriers to entry for most Japanese. Shinto and Buddhism deeply affect the worldview of many Japanese. Confucian ethics value the group over the individual, which is in direct conflict with Mormonism’s emphasis on individual agency and a personal, individual relationship with Jesus Christ. I also found an interesting connection to our class and discussion of the Japanese salaryman stereotype in reading. As I learned in class, typical Japanese salarymen leave their home early in the morning and don’t return home until at least 10 p.m. Supposedly, the Church is so demanding, that only a handful of Japanese members can balance a job at a top corporation and be able to serve in a leadership position in the Church. Therefore, many of the Church leaders in Japan are self-employed or work in education. In the face of natural disasters, including a record 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami in 2011, Western Mormons have made it an integral part of their mission to provide extensive relief supplies to include industry support, education, and employment to damaged areas.

Alva Noë’s text serves as a response to Thi Nguyen’s writing about gaming being considered art. In reply to Nguyen’s position on agency in games as art, Noe talks about such concepts as strange games, puppy play, and exhaustive intelligibility. This discussion entails conceptions of “agency” and experience as it relates to games.
The text is good as it deals with an abstract philosophical discussion about the games and their aesthetic nature. Since my course was related to game art and design, I opted for that because it looked at the subtle philosophies behind games being considered an art form. It is very helpful since it provides me with more insights into various theories related to designing games and aesthetics.

Clegg’s text scrutinizes “The Art Game,” focusing on how television screens, British art, and monitors intersected in the early 1960s. Finally, it examines how these visual media impacted and reshaped art in this period.
The quality of the text comes from the detailed investigation of the connections between TV shows, screen, and art at a key time for British art. This is why I picked a book that discussed the relationship between visual technologies and art and the ways they are integrated into the era of gaming art and design. I found this book very interesting and I used it to gain an understanding of how art changes together with the emerging new media. More importantly for all of us, contemporary game design requires such a context.

A study by Juho Hamari et al. investigates the effects of tougher games on student engagement as well as their sense of flow and immersion in a gaming environment. In essence, it argues that challenging class activities promote engrossment which leads learners into flow and absorption states. The authors based this on empirical research.
It is considered of high quality considering it employs an empirical approach, flow, and immersion which are well-established concepts, and has been published through Computers in Human Behavior which is a reputable journal. I found this article relevant to my field of study in game art a design because it enlightens on how to develop tough learning-friendly games for students.

Pitman’s text considers the scenographic notion of aura applied to the sci-fi and cli-fi augmented reality art game “Sin Sol/No Sun.” It concludes that scenography creates immersive experiences with meaningful implications. To this effect, players are enjoying.
This makes the text a qualitative one as it highlights a special meeting point between AR, sci-fi, and cli-fi in view of a scenographic background. I chose this piece for its visionary approach to designing games and was published in “Romance Studies.” This work serves as an inspiration for me as a student of game art and design, giving hints at how to make interactive experiences where virtual space extends beyond computer interfaces and becomes coherent with.

This text is well above par by showing an academic inquiry into the junction of game studies and educational art with its different approaches on how various games are implemented into pedagogy. Therefore, I chose it due to its relation with studying game art and design, providing a comprehensive approach on cultural and historical factors on use of games educationally.Therefore, this study is important because it helps me understand the cultural background in which the educational games are embedded to make my designs more meaningful.
10. Winegar, J. (2008) 'The humanity game: art, Islam, and the war on terror', Anthropological Quarterly, 81(3), 651
Winegar’s text examines the intersections of art, Islam, and the war against terrorism using what they call “The Humanity game”. Summarily, it shows how artists’ expressions in Islamic communities reacted and navigated through the conflict created by the war against terror
The text is of good quality for offering an anthropological viewpoint on the tangled interactions of art, culture, and geopolitics. My choice was motivated by the original method used to view international occurrences in light of art making and their significance. As a game art and design student, this work is helpful for me since it widens my understanding of such numerous factors that may define and find their reflection in game design forcing one to adopt a more culturally competent standpoint while working creatively.
