THE AMAZING DEVIL’S THE HORROR AND THE WILD SENTENCE STARTERS

FEEL FREE TO CHANGE PRONOUNS/NAMES/PHRASING AS YOU SEE FIT

The Rockrose and the Thistle

“I know the kindest thing is to leave you alone”


“I've run out of my words, my song Just let me die”

“I could try to calm you down but I know you won’t”


“All the pins inside your fretted head and your muttered whens and hows, All your mother's weaves and your father's threads, Let me rob them of you now”


“I'll darn you back together when you think that you're bereft”


“I know the kindest thing- I pray to god it's the kindest thing- I know the kindest thing is to never leave you alone”


The Horror and the Wild

“You were raised by wolves and voices, every night I hear them howling deep beneath your bed”


“You are that space that’s in between every page, every chord and every screen”


“You are the driftwood and the rift, you’re the words that I promise I don’t mean”


“All the stones and kings of old will hear us screaming at the cold”


“Give me back my heart you wingless thing”


“Witness me, old man, I am the Wild”


“Fret not dear heart, let not them hear the mutterings of all your fears, the fluttering of all your wings”


“Welcome to the storm, I am thunder”


Wild Blue Yonder

“Without you, I’m stronger, I’m no longer filled with wonder”


“You told me I was younger, that I was filled with wonder. How wrong you were”


“For you, my lungs were pulled asunder”


“So one last time, love, come and rip my clothes off”


“Let’s wander, till the fuckers demand an encore”


“Hold me, lover, like you used to. So tight I’d bruise you”


“I surrender what was, what could have been”


“Don't you ever wonder, what could have been?”


“Come rest for the winter, wear my jumper all night long”


“Every brick you hurled, I’ll use to build this world”


Welly Boots

“What do you mean you’ve lost your scarlet welly boots, do y’know what they cost?”


“Wear a raincoat or it’ll soak you to the bone”


“Don’t you know that I’ll be with you all along, as long as you are kind”


“When it’s cold I’ll wrap my scarf around you”


“I swear, just because I left doesn’t mean that I’m not still there”


“I get to watch you grow up now and make me proud, make all of those mistakes that make me laugh- Oh darling lord, how you make me laugh”


“Get drunk for me, sing louder than you’ve sung for me, grow young each time that thunder in your lungs begins to rumble at the world”


“You were always strong, When you were young, you’d kick things just to see if they would fall”


“You were supposed to be my light and keep me safe against them all. How could you leave me here?”


“I know you’re strong enough to do this on your own”


“I’ve been so scared you left me here behind, do you not care?”


“How the fuck am I supposed to carry on without you here?”


Farewell Wanderlust

“You look like I need a drink”


“I’m the hardest goodbye that you’ll ever have to say”


“I promise you I’ll be better, I promise you I’ll try but like rubbing wine stains into rugs, it’s my curse to try and make it right, but by trying make it worse”


“I’m the heartbreak that aches far too much to be shunned all those letters unsent and that garden ungrown”


“So long to the person you begged me to be. She’s down, she’s dead”


“Might you allow me to slip into something more comfortable then?”


“Our gods have abandoned us, left us, instead take up arms, take my hand, let us waltz for the dead”


“I promise you I’m not broken, I promise you there’s more, more to come, more to reach for, more to hurl at the door”


“Goodbye to all my darkness, there’s nothing here but light adieu to all the faceless things that sleep with me at night”


“Now take a good long look at what you’ve done to me?”


Fair

 “It's what my heart just yearns to say in ways that can't be said”


“Cause outwardly, I try so hard to make you laugh at me"


"Oh, darling, please be mine"


“He curses at the world for leaving him behind, and he's falling out of touch”


“It's not fair, it’s not fair how much I love you. It’s not fair, 'cause you make me laugh when I'm actually really fucking cross at you for something”


“Oh, how, oh, how unreasonable- How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do”

“I spend my days so close to you 'cause if I'm standing here, maybe everyone will think I'm alright"


“I know exactly what I want and it's this life that we've created”


“If you asked me to, if you asked me, I would lose it all like petals in a storm”


“Darling I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades at night when light is fading”


“Dear heart, it's me, it's me- you don't need to pretend to be someone you’re not 'Cause it's not like I've never heard you fart and snore”


“I'm still here, love, like I've always been before”


“It's not fair, it's not fair how much I love you”


“Oh how, oh how unreasonable- How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do I'll spend my days so close to you 'cause if I'm standing here, Maybe everyone will think I'm cool”


“It's not fair, it's not fair how much I love you- It's not fair 'cause you make me ache, you bastard”


“Where have you been? I've waited oh so long for you to come”


The Unwanted Animal

“There’s a second wind coming as we lie here in our bed. It rattles the bones of our fathers carries whispers from the dead”


“You try so loud to love me I cannot seem to hear”


“If we join our hands in prayer enough to God I imagine it all starts to sound like applause”


“Place your hand in mine, How long can this last?”


“Well hello, my hollow Holofernes”


Marbles

“I chipped my teeth on every joke you cracked”


“You couldn’t lie then and you sure as hell can’t lie to me now”


“You stole the best years of my life”


“I will wait and hope and rest my head at night content knowing where my marbles went”


“Oh, if one more guy calls me darling then I swear to you and to god I will murder them all”


“You’re not flawed darling, you’re just a little under-rehearsed”


“I don’t know, but I’m here, I’m all yours, dear heart don’t cry”


“I’ve loved you, for a hundred years, Certainly fucking feels like it”


“The minute I met you, the colors of my life began to pour”


Battle Cries

“That drink, will it fix all those questions unasked?”


“Who’ll save you when you fall?”


“Who died and made you king of it all?”


“Tell the truth to me, love, does my hair look as nice as it did when it once tangled up in your eyes?”


“I’m done with your dreams, they won’t last”


“I feel hunger at last for the person 15-year-old me would be proud to have known”


“Place your smile in mine”


“But that breathing you hear, don't mistake it for sighs Don’t you realize? They’re just battle cries, dear”


“And these lines aren’t wrinkles, dearheart they’re just dollops of paint on a new work of art”


“With you, I could summon the gods and the stars, Watch them dance out the plays that we wrote from the heart”


“I won't leave without a fight”


“I’m going to binge watch a box set, drink wine, reminisce! This isn’t a break up, dear heart, it’s a season finale”

EPIC: THE MUSICAL — ACT ONE

ASSORTED SENTENCE STARTERS featuring lyrics and dialogue pulled from EPIC: THE MUSICAL by Jorge Rivera-Herrans, a new concept album adapting the story of Homer’s Odyssey into a musical.

CHANGE gendered words and in-universe phrases as needed.

SPECIFY muse for multimuses.

❛ I know that I’m ready. ❜

❛ I don’t think that you’re ready. ❜

❛ Know that he will grow from a boy to an avenger. ❜

❛ I could raise him as my own. ❜

❛ Please don’t make me do this. ❜

❛ The blood on your hands is something you can’t lose — all you can choose is whose. ❜

❛ This is the will of the gods. ❜

❛ You’re as old as he was when I left for war. ❜

❛ Will these actions haunt my days? ❜

❛ Every man I’ve slain is the price I pay. ❜

❛ I would trade the world to see my son and wife. ❜

❛ When does a man become a monster? ❜

❛ When does a reason become the blame? ❜

❛ Six hundred men under my command. ❜

❛ The problem’s not the distance; it’s what lies in between. ❜

❛ My kingdom is waiting. ❜

❛ So Captain, what’s the plan? ❜

❛ Look! There, in the distance. I see an island. ❜

❛ I see a light that faintly glows. ❜

❛ Something feels off here. ❜

❛ I say we strike first; we don’t have time to waste. ❜

❛ We should try to find a way no one ends up dead. ❜

❛ You can relax, my friend. ❜

❛ I can tell that you’re getting nervous. ❜

❛ Is this how we are supposed to live? ❜

❛ Here we have a chance for some adjustment. ❜

❛ Give it a try, it's not that hard. ❜

❛ This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms. ❜

❛ Whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart. ❜

❛ Stay back, I'm warning you. ❜

❛ Kindness is brave. ❜

❛ Have you forgotten the lessons I taught you? ❜

❛ I see you changing from how I've designed you. ❜

❛ Have you forgotten your purpose? ❜

❛ My life has one mission. ❜

❛ We'll make a greater tomorrow. ❜

❛ Enlighten me, what's your name? ❜

❛ If you're looking for a mentor, I'll make sure your time's well spent. ❜

❛ If there's a problem, we'll have the answer. ❜

❛ I still intend to make sure you don't fall behind. ❜

❛ Don't forget that you're a warrior of a very special kind. ❜

❛ It’s almost too perfect, too good to be true. ❜

❛ Who are you? ❜

❛ We’re just travelers. We come in peace. ❜

❛ What gives you the right to deal a pain so deep? ❜

❛ Your life now is in my hands. ❜

❛ I’ll take from you like you took from me. ❜

❛ There’s been a misunderstanding. ❜

❛ Maybe you and I could make a deal. ❜

❛ I’m so glad we see eye to eye. ❜

❛ If we're defeated, they're good as dead. ❜

❛ No backup, no chance for support. ❜

❛ Our foe must be thwarted right here and now. ❜

❛ Show me how great is your will to survive. ❜

❛ Stand up and fight for your lives. ❜

❛ Defeat is not allowed. ❜

❛ We must live through this day, so fight! ❜

❛ You’ve hurt me enough. ❜

❛ You won’t live through this day. ❜

❛ We must move quickly, we don't have much time. ❜

❛ But captain, what'll we do with our fallen friends? ❜

❛ We are not to let them die in vain. ❜

❛ Our comrades will not die in vain. ❜

❛ Mercy is a skill more of this world could learn to use. ❜

❛ The blood we shed, it never dries. ❜

❛ I am neither man nor mythical. ❜

❛ You're a warrior meant to lead the rest. ❜

❛ That's just like you, why should I be surprised? Selfish and prideful and vain. ❜

❛ Every time someone dies I'm the one who is left to deal with the strain. ❜

❛ This way, you won't plague my life. ❜

❛ What a waste of effort spent. ❜

❛ At least I know what I'm fighting for. ❜

❛ Since you claim you're so much wiser, why’s your life spent all alone? ❜

❛ This day, you lost it all. ❜

❛ Is it nature or divine or a blessing in disguise? ❜

❛ Our home's in sight. ❜

❛ Brace for a storm, the likes of which we’ve never seen before. ❜

❛ I'll ensure that we prevail. ❜

❛ We're taking too much damage to survive. ❜

❛ At this rate, we won't make it out alive. ❜

❛ Please don't tell me you're about to do what I think you'll do. ❜

❛ You've heard the legends; this proves they're true. ❜

❛ Don't forget how dangerous the gods are. ❜

❛ How much longer til your luck runs out? ❜

❛ I still believe in goodness. ❜

❛ I just don't wanna see another life end. ❜

❛ You're like the brother I could never do without. ❜

❛ Don’t forget how much we’ve already faced. ❜

❛ I need to talk to you in private. ❜

❛ I can't have you planting seeds of doubt. ❜

❛ I ask for your assistance so we at last can go the distance. ❜

❛ Sounds too easy, what's the catch? ❜

❛ Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. ❜

❛ The end always justifies the means. ❜

❛ Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. ❜

❛ Time for me to be the father I never was. ❜

❛ Why are my eyes and my heart and my soul so heavy? ❜

❛ It isn't very often that I get pissed off. ❜

❛ I'm left without a choice. ❜

❛ I’ve gotta make you bleed. ❜

❛ I need to see you drown. ❜

❛ Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves. ❜

❛ You are far too nice. ❜

❛ I've got no mercy left to give. ❜

❛ The line between naïveté and hopefulness is almost invisible. ❜

❛ I am your darkest moment. ❜

❛ What have you done? ❜

❛ Any last words? ❜

❛ There's only so much left we can endure. ❜

❛ I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer. ❜

❛ I can’t sleep now knowing everything we've done. ❜

❛ I must say what a brilliant speech you gave. ❜

❛ I don't know who you are nor why you're here. ❜

❛ One wrong move, then you're done for. ❜

❛ All I hear are screams, every time I dare to close my eyes. ❜

❛ I no longer dream, only nightmares of those who've died. ❜

❛ I am the prophet with the answers you seek. ❜

❛ I see a man who gets to make it home alive, but it's no longer you. ❜

❛ How has everything been turned against us? ❜

❛ How did suffering become so endless? ❜

❛ Do I need to change? ❜

❛ What if I'm the problem that's been hiding all along? ❜

❛ If I became the monster, and threw that guilt away — would that make us stronger? ❜

❛ I must become the monster. ❜

Cassette Beasts?

Cassette Beasts is a creature-collecting game by Bytten Studio! Record monsters on tapes, become a Ranger, and find the way off of New Wirral in this amazing adventure!

Spoilers below the cut!!

So I had a plan to write this review before I even finished the game. It was just that good. But! I managed to hold off until I at least finished the main game. Next goal: 100% and DLC! And also buying the OST when I have the chance.

Now, I'm not putting this off until the middle of the review: every musical track in this game is a certified banger. I absolutely loved the music of the game. As one person put it (while I was looking for the OST), I just didn't get tired of the music. And that's a pretty big win for a game where you have so, so many encounters and only a handful of tracks to play.

The way they implement the music is also impressive because it's narratively important. The lyrics work their way in when a fusion happens and during big story battles. The town theme's music plays when you're indoors. Plus the lyrics just feel right with its tones and atmosphere. Also the difference between the few main battle themes is just enough for one to feel more tense/exciting than the others. Just an overall great thing they have going on with the audio.

Okay with that out of the way!

Cassette Beasts is a solid game, actually pretty high tier.

Mechanically, I've seen people compare it to Pokemon. I feel like it's like a mix of Pokemon and Persona. You can record the monsters, remaster (evolve) them at five stars, with some having having special evolution requirements. Monsters can show up as bootlegs, where they're a type other than its base type, which is just like shiny hunting but more (cause there's like 12 types). And I've already killed a plastic bootleg by accident...

The moves (stickers) are mix and match, mostly according to typing. I'm pretty into it cause I love giving my party members all sorts of type coverage. I haven't particularly gone into finding weird strategies yet other than AP Refund, but I can see some cool ones thanks to needing to battle all 12 Ranger Captains.

And then you can fuse! Which I thought was interesting, and it adds an ace to go to when you're in a pinch. But you fusing means that wild monsters (and other rangers) can fuse too. Those provide some fun challenges and opportunities to find bootlegs, plus progression in post-game.

Did I mention that this game is also like a Metroidvania? Capturing certain monsters gives up to 6 overworld movement abilities and I think that's pretty neat. All of them have their uses and none of them are niche, which is a win.

The story was pretty interesting! Dropping in onto a mysterious island and trying to find a way back home is nice and simple and all the detail added around it make it engaging. The Archangels are wildly uncomfortable which I didn't expect and I loved it. Despite loving it, it still did come out of nowhere but greatly forgiven because it was right at the start (and not some random turn in the middle).

The pacing was a bit off for me though because I got like 5 out of 8 song pieces before I even defeated 4 captains or even met all the partner characters. I also don't know how relationship progress works other than fight things and rest. Thinking about it now, there's probably a reason why there a speedrun timer in that you don't have to play through all the content (8/9 archangels, no captains?), I guess.

I liked the references to all sorts of topics throughout the story and I think it's pretty interesting for the characters to be from different timelines. It makes it easy to explain weird inconsistencies.

Funny thing I did by accident for end game's story: I switched out Meredith's Regensea with an Aeroboros cause I wanted her starter in my party. And boy did that choice bite back later lol.

Graphics are also solid. The 3D world with 2D sprites reminds me of Octopath Traveller. I appreciate the non-pixel portrait art for the characters, but I would've liked it either way. The designs of the monsters and the characters are all great! Honestly, I should take some notes from them since even if there's 15+ characters, they still all have very specific designs and personalities to match.

The detail in the world is great too, like the light reflecting off the puddle or the fog that rolls in and the rain. So like weather in general.

Also, as a note just for me, I liked the fonts and font effects that they used. Very cool.

Cassette Beasts is a quality creature-collecting game! If you need another Pokemon/Digimon/Persona, here's a game for you. Or if you just want a cool turn-based RPG with cool music, that's cool too.

As always,

Enjoy gaming!

The Starset Primer

Hey, all, just a friendly Messenger of four years popping in to tell you about my favourite band.

Starter Songs

Typically, Starset songs can be broken up into categories to get you started.

Lead Singles:

My Demons Monster Manifest The Breach Brave New World

Love Ballads:

Halo Starlight Satellite Solstice Otherworldly.

Heavy Songs:

Down With The Fallen Carnivore Frequency Into The Unknown Gravity of You Bringing It Down Telekinetic Other Worlds Than These Devolution Something Wicked Brave New World

Rise and Fall Everglow Diving Bell Something Wicked.

My Personal Go-To List would be:

My Demons (the first ever Starset song!) Carnivore Halo Monster Ricochet Unbecoming Manifest Where The Skies End Diving Bell Leaving This World Behind Earthrise Infected Brave New World (the newest song!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

✨The Albums✨

Transmissions (2014)

Their first album, technically made when it was just Dustin!

Singles: My Demons, Carnivore, Halo, Let It Die

A really solid debut album in general.

Their most iconic album to date, everyone likes this one.

A bit experimental, a proof of concept.

Vessels (2017)

The second album, and arguably their best.

Singles: Monster, Ricochet, Satellite, Telepathic

The most epic of the four so far, and the fan favourite.

Really long too! Over an hour of amazing songs!

Something for everyone on this album.

Divisions (2019)

Their third album, and last pre-covid.

Singles: Manifest, Where The Skies End, Echo, Diving Bell

A more industrial sound with a lot more traditional rock.

A bit polarising, some love it, some don't.

Really raw lyrics, if you're into that.

Horizons (2021)

Their fourth, and most recent, album.

Singles: The Breach, Infected, Leaving This World Behind, Earthrise, Devolution

Sounds like a movie soundtrack.

Another polarising album, but is a really consistent one.

Goes hard into emotional lyrics, and keeps you on your toes.

S5 (2024?)

The fifth, upcoming album, doesn't have a name or official cover yet.

Single: Brave New World

Sounds like it's gonna be super heavy, so we're all very excited!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Band Members

Starset are currently a seven piece band, apparently this is how it was always meant to be, so the lineup is permanent now, and will be for the foreseeable future! Each of the band members use a number, no one knows what the numbers mean yet, though.

The current lineup is:

Dustin Bates - Lead Vocals, Band Leader/Founder, and main songwriter. Ron DeChant - Bassist, Backing Vocals, Keyboards Brock Richards - Guitarist, Backing Vocals Adam Gilbert - Drummer Siobhan Cronin-Richards - Violinist, Keyboards Zuzana Engererova - Cellist Cory Juba - Keyboards, Synths, Backing Guitars

Dustin Bates - 3301

The leader, founder, and mastermind behind the band.

Main vocalist, and writes literally all of their songs.

Has a really cute French Bulldog called Ernie, who is kinda the band's mascot.

Has a Masters in Electrical Engineering, and almost had a PHD in Avionics, but gave up on it to focus on music. Scary smart, has written both of the band's lore books himself, and engineers their stage setup.

Has the most relaxing speaking voice ever, and 90% of fans are at least a little bit in love with him.

The only one who really does interviews.

He's just a really cool guy, and really seems to love his fans.

Ron DeChant - 5501

The bassist, and easily the second-in-command to Dustin, they were bandmates in Dustin's last band.

Lowkey manages the band, he books tours for them and helps handle logistics.

Was in the military before he became a musician.

Was the first person Dustin went to when he formed the band, so they're kind of the original two members.

Had to get the entire band and crew back to the USA from Russia as Covid hit.

Had to sit the European Horizons tour out due to shoulder surgery, but is back now!

Currently owns the whiteboard the band's lore was written on!

Brock Richards - 5502

One quarter of the core four of the band, plays guitar and is a backup singer to Dustin sometimes.

One half of the Starset Power Couple - he and Siobhan are married.

Seems like a really chilled out guy, but has apparently throttled someone to protect Siobhan once during the Vessels era.

A big gamer!

Has a really good knowledge of production, and a sick af guitar collection.

He, Dustin, and Ron are always front of the stage, Brock usually is at Dustin's left.

Has worked on music with Siobhan's other band - Lost Symphony.

Adam Gilbert - 5503

The final of the core four of the band who were there for the first album and tour.

Runs a drumming course called Drumabuse.

Also is an art major, who sells his works on the side.

Often stays longest talking to fans at VIP shows.

Dyes his hair a different colour for each album cycle apparently.

Has probably the biggest social media presence of the band, the rest being chronically offline.

Has gotten into controversy for his political views in the past, but let's hope he's more open-minded now.

Siobhan Cronin-Richards - 7701

The violin queen herself, Siobhan has been with the band as a permanent member since 2017, first performing with them during the Vessels era.

One of two members of the band with formal training in their instrument, Zuzana being the other one.

The other half of the Starset Power Couple with Brock.

From Michigan, but based out of Ohio and Florida.

Besties with Zuzana.

Has another band called Lost Symphony, kind of a classical/metal hybrid genre.

Hosts a podcast with the other members of Lost Symphony, which has become the Unofficial Starset Podcast.

Zuzana Engererova - 7702

The cello queen of the band, joined as a permanent member in the 2019 Divisions era, replacing Mariko Muranaka, and has been with the band ever since.

Is the only European member of the band, being Slovakian.

Has often talked about how difficult it is for her to play cello standing up, saying her back and shoulder hurt after tours are done.

Besties with Siobhan.

Based in Vegas, and plays cello at events there in the offseason.

Is also a frequent collab with Lost Symphony, I think she's a fourth member now, but I'm not sure.

Second most frequent band member on Siobhan's podcast, Brock being most frequent.

Cory Juba - 7703

The newest member of the band, completing the vision Dustin had back in 2013, joining for the 2022 Horizons tour.

Another could-have-been doctor in the band. Cory was apparently studying a medical degree before getting into music.

Has known Dustin for a really long time, and has helped with various projects of his.

Got the call to join the band while hiking in British Columbia.

Seems like a really nice guy overall, and goes crazy on stage.

Accidentally spilled water on the show laptop once, causing a lot of panic.

Helped out with synths and keys on the Starset rendition of Waiting on The Sky To Change.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Lore

While most bands might have a concept album, Starset are a concept band, the entire band are built around a central story. You don't need to know the lore to be a fan of the band, but it helps.

Dustin has put out two books dealing with the lore. The Prox Transmissions in 2014, and A Brief History of The Future in 2024.

From what I understand, here's how it goes:

While working on his electricity experiments, Nikola Tesla accidentally receives a message from the 2040s from a far off planet called Prox. He ignores it. A few decades later, Stephen Browning receives the same signal, and enlists Aston Wise to help him interpret it.

The signal warns of an oncoming takeover by someone called The Architect, who is in charge of something either called The Architecture or The Everything Machine. The runaway technology creating something called The Brain-Machine Interface (BMI, kinda like Neuralink). Necessitating leaving Earth for another planet.

Browning founds the Order of Teslonia, aiming to keep the signal secret and work behind the scenes to ensure this future doesn't happen. Wise, however, seeks to make the information public. Forming the rival Starset Society, which leads to the band itself forming.

It's later revealed that along the way, Wise becomes The Architect, and leads said takeover, losing all control of the Starset Society in the process. Forming the New East, New West, and making the BMI mandatory for citizens. A rebellion forms to counter this takeover, while Browning's group are working to get everyone off world to Prox.

We don't quite know the ins and outs of everything yet, but this is the lore as far as I understand it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some Other Things To Know

Starset don't have concerts, they have Demonstrations.

Starset fans are called Messengers.

The band's three unofficial mottoes are: 'Spread The Message', 'Ignorance is Slavery, Knowledge is Freedom', and 'Fuck The New East'

The band have been fairly family friendly with lyrical content, until Brave New World came out, and Dustin said 'fucking' three times.

There's a song for everyone, you will find something you like.

We're a super welcoming community!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, yeah, that's about it!

Over and out!

I:S::K:F!

2 years ago

Yeah, yeah oh

Yeah, yeah yeah

after the death of neytiri, jake was distraught having to care for all four alone he wasn’t seen happy anymore only sadness flooded his eyes.

a year or two after her death when tuk was only 2 mo’at started to get visions.

a girl with dark brown skin, and deep brown hair was observing the plants of pandora, the sun over the horizon kissing her brown skin, causing her dark brown eyes to turn into a honey color.

her body hunched over, eyes bright with wonder, interest, and amazement.

mo’at opened her eyes wondering why eywa gave her this vision “ma eywa what do you have in store for us with this human.”

—

Present time

you stepped off the helicopter now being in high camp your clothes different from before, your bag over your shoulder you stepped out looking for your brother, eyes scanning everything around you, your sight landed at the sight of your brother in his avatar, you’d recognize him from anywhere.

after all he was your twin, you walked over to him “amanté” he looked down with a smile as he gently hugged you his avatar being much bigger and stronger then if he was out of his avatar “hey, jake this is my older twin sister y/n” he looked at you both confused “but you both look alike and twins how’s she older unless it’s by a minute” you both smiled at eachother.

“i’m born in december at 11:58 while he’s born january 1st 12:00 were irish twins, anyways nice to meet you jake” you say giving a polite smile and a hand out for him to shake he looks slightly taken back from you not being nervous in front of the olo’eyktan of the omatikaya.

“come let me show you you’re room and work space it’s actually pretty big, bigger then mine if i’m honest” you laughed and continued to follow amanté.

you stepped into a lab slightly smaller then the others “this is yours, as you can see it’s slightly smaller then the main labs, but much larger then the other ones people work in” he said with a grin “why’s mine so large?” amanté looked around “well for starters you came to study the fauna and flora so that could be a reason, there’s you room” you nodded before kicking him out to put on more appropriate clothes other then the scrubs you were wearing from when in cyro

—

after takin a much needed shower and getting dressed your curls were much longer being lazy you just put you hair stuff in it and threw it in a bun walking to lab, you walked it in to amanté out of his avatar body and walking to you with a grin.

“i don’t like that look manté” he looked at you offended “fine then, don’t use your avatar then,” he noticed your annoyed face and laughed “jake will be training you first thing in the morning, since we’re no longer on earth and pandoras different and holds more dangers” you rolled your eyes at the man with curly hair in front of you “i can most definitely handle myself you know, but whatever makes you happy” you turned walking to the minifridge which you had stocked earlier that day.

“y/n/n can i get a drink” you rolled your eyes before bending down and opening the minifridge “whatever floats your boat” you said sounding annoyed a smiled hidden on your face “cool lemme get a monster” you rolled your eyes and turned to him “last time i checked boats float on water” you said before grabbing the two monsters and shutting the fridge with your shoe and handing him the drink and sitting down.

“since i’m here and theres masks how bout you come with me to grab some plant samples” amanté looks at you with a smile “let’s go, it’s good to have you back around by the way.”

—

once you get back to the lab after collecting a few samples to study you and amanté part ways you sat in your lab which was next door to the main lab after putting the samples away but keeping one out to study.

norm opened the door and the once quiet environment was now loud and full of children laughing and screaming like hyenas you turned and looked at norm “where’s amanté?” you stood up and turned back around putting your sample away “something about helping jake i don’t know” you said shrugging your shoulders “right i-“ he was cut off by 4 kids running into your lab and up to you.

“i’m kiri what’s your name, your very pretty” you smiled at the little girl in front of you before bending down to her height “i’m y/n and thank you, kiris a beautiful name” her smile only grew wider at your words.

“this is neteyam, lo’ak, you’ve already met kiri, and tuk” norm says looking at the baby walking around.

neteyam and lo’ak walk up to you tugging your sleeve “what are you doing?” instead of answering you grab and sample and explain to them “i’m taking samples to study the plants and animals here on pandora” lo’ak and neteyams eyes widen “really?!” “that’s so cool” you smile.

“here all of you come here” tuk attempts to follow her siblings but falls you smile before picking her up and carrying her “i gotcha tuk tuk.”

—

you had lost track of time talking and answering the kids questions about what you did.

amanté and was looking for you since you were supposed to meet up with him and jake for a briefing about what training you’d be put through, but then jake noticed the kids weren’t around and both him and amanté came looking for you and the kids.

they searched everywhere all around the village “they aren’t here amanté” jake yelled over to his friend “let’s check the lab.”

they walked to the lab asking people if they’ve seen the kids but everyone said no and most of the scientists were out in their avatar bodies doing stuff, or helping in the avatar tent.

“worth a shot still right?” amanté said looking at jake he nodded in response. they walked into the lab looking around trying not to disturb the people who were focused of things already.

“that’s really cool” jakes ears twitched at the muffled voice of lo’ak before he followed where it was coming from and was met with a closed door “yea theres a lot of cool things we don’t know much about the plants and animals so i figured why not study them” jake was confused the kids never stayed in the lab long he opened the door and was met with three large yellow eyes and one pair of dark brown colored eyes “hi daddy” they all said.

but never made a effort to move from their spots on the floor they’re attention turned back on the girl in front of them as she continued talking jake scanned over them, he found all three but his youngest daughter he looked around the group not seeing his youngest daughter until the girl fully turned towards the kids on the floor from her chair.

tuk was curled up against the girls chest sleeping soundly cuddling the girl with a blanket wrapped around her somewhat small body, the girl was rubbing her back and still talking to the rest of kids.

jake couldn’t help but smile at the sight for the first time in a long time he was content.

That's the way everyday goes

Every time we've no control

If the sky is pink and white

If the ground is black and yellow

It's the same way you showed me…

i pray you all enjoyed this first chapter, but i’m not sure i like the way it came out so i might rewrite it at some point🫶🏽

I took some time and actually watched Hazbin Hotel... I watched the pilot 6(?) years ago, and seeing the hellfire commentary from Twitter made me reluctant (rightfully so I guess).

But I say it was pretty alright. I feel like I have some complaints. I'm not a diehard fan at all, nor do I see myself in the fan base, but I feel like I can add my own input, I guess. These are my opinions and personal reasons, please be nice.

Spoilers/commentary beneath the cut (16+)

For starters, I think the concept is good, I like some of the designs for the characters, especially since they improved from the pilot.

I think I have at least 3-4 favorite characters, ranking them from my most fave:

Lucifer, Alastor, Vox, and Nifty.

... I didn't like anyone else. I'll probably explain that.

The only reason why I liked these four was mostly cuz they had some funny bits to them. I told my friend that Lucifer reminds me of Hunter from TOH??? And I said "Maybe it's cuz their both blonde and depressed." Lucifer just has that appeal for me. Vox didn't have much screentime, but I like his niche design and voice. Alastor is also cool. Nifty is just a cute gremlin that I fuck with honestly. Good for her. Everyone else I either didn't care much for or straight up didn't like...

Charlie annoyed me a lot, I know she's the MC, but I didn't like her. I get that she's supposed to be good, but her behavior in some scenes bothered me. Like in Ep4, I understand she was coming from a good place, but I couldn't help but feel agitated. I can't explain it. She has a savior complex which is her flaw, and maybe I just don't exactly understand it.

Of course, she's not the worst character (looks at Valentino and Adam), but she could improve. There were a few characters that I feel should've been written better, but the pacing made it hard.

I feel like the pacing was something I didn't like, but I can't blame it since it only has 8 episodes. The writer in me deflated seeing how fast things moved along, but I get why they sped it up towards the end. I wanna ramble about how the show could have gone if it had 24 episodes- but that feels like another post. Also, another thing that irked me were characters word vomiting.

Again if this show had more time to explore each individual character, it wouldn't have happened. I thought ep 4 with Angel Dust pouring his heart had good intentions to tell the audience that he's fucked up, it could've been built up more (if there were more episodes) until he finally blew up, similar with Husk. It's different because it's an animation, but you can still show and not tell visually about someone struggling. That's just me.

The excessive swearing isn't funny, I didn't find myself laughing that much except for Ep 8: Adam telling Lute to chill the fuck out, Alastor's mic breaking, and Lucifer saying "I'm gonna fuck you!" are the only bits I found funny. I've laughed at dumber things (my sense of humor is garbage, I'll laugh at a waffle falling over), but I didn't find most of the jokes funny.

I knew it was a musical, and I love musicals, but there weren't many songs I vibed with. Maybe a few, but not a lot. I'm a music person, and the songs just didn't feel right? Like the lyrics either felt awkward or general direction of the song didn't feel cohesive. I think I only like 4 songs in total.

The VAs were great, I recognized a lot of them, and I enjoyed their performances. They all fit their characters.

The animation was good for what was originally an indie project, and I hope the animators/artists were properly compensated. I know there was a lot of shit going on about Vivi allegedly not paying them but regardless, they did amazing.

I'm gonna be serious and say I feel like I didn't want to give HH a chance because I just didn't exactly care about it. My friends watched it. I saw Twitter's scolding opinions and hottakes on it, and I didn't want to hate watch it. But I was still curious. While I wasn't laughing through most of it, I think it's good. There's a lot that I'm trying not to say or get into because that would derail my commentary and make it about other discussions I'm not fully knowledgeable about...

I sailed the seven seas to watch this show, and I say it was sort of worth it. Again, I'm not a crazy fan, but anyone that likes it, good for you.

#PLEASE IM JUST RAMBLING #THESE ARE MY OPINIONS DONT KILL ME #hazbin hotel #commentary #ven speaks #text post

[stayevildarling]

could you share some tips on how you got into writing and anything you can share with us on how you got this big 👑

hi there 🫶🏻

this big? 🥹 I'm literally going to cry.

so I really got into writing when I was watching ,,Once upon a Time'' back then and I guess I got the idea from being unhappy with the plot and how the show ended

but on a more serious note, I discovered that fanfiction was a thing and then it kinda became my hobby. I write fanfiction because it gives me comfort hence why some of my topics are regarding mental health or just fluffy fics that are supposed to make the reader feel good.

the only real advice I can give is: write, write, write away. If you have a show, movie or a fandom that you are really passionate about then give it a go. In terms of the actual process of writing this is what I usually do/used to do:

I research a LOT. If I write for a fandom or a character that I don't know well, I do a lot of reading and watching. I study what the character wears, how they speak, what their little characteristics are and I make up my own headcanons beyond the show/movie in my mind or write them down.

I'm honest here. Sometimes ideas will just pop into your mind, sometimes I drive somewhere, overhear a conversation or a big one: song lyrics. I hear something and I get a certain idea and then when I have the time, I sit down and try to write.

I find it really helpful to create sentence starters or just story beginners and so there are different ways. Starting with describing the weather, the atmosphere or what a character is doing at that moment. I'm happy to share my starters and prompts with anyone if you would like.

and again don't be afraid to look for inspiration. there are some great prompt blogs out there like my favourite one: @littlewhispersofsolitude who post amazing ideas and you don't have to completely take their ideas but you can always scroll through their blogs to get some inspiration.

and lastly it's all about just typing away what comes to your mind. Your beginner things will be awful, unless you are secretly very incredibly talented and should consider switching careers. My beginners stuff on wattpad is bad and I considered deleting it but then I remembered that it's a reminder for how much my writing has improved over the years.

If anyone on here needs some more advice, would like some prompts, sentence starters or inspiration I am always happy to share, whether that is for the Sarah Paulson fandom or any other fandom or genre.

I hope this helped a little 🫶🏻

Hi, everyone! I hope you're having a nice fall weekend. 🍂

I just wanted to share some BEAUTIFUL art I was lucky enough to acquire recently from two incredible artists 🎨

The first is one of my favorite pieces that combines two of my passions, one from my childhood and one since 2019: Peanuts and Bo Burnham!

Bo as Charlie Brown/Schroeder is just perfect, and I can't rep @lomleyo enough. She is an EXCEPTIONAL artist and also created my SUCH logo that I adore 🥰

I was finally able to pick up the Peanuts print because I needed to get the perfect birthday card for my best friend @ilickedthegardenwall on her 30th birthday—and BOY did Kat deliver on that one!

All of these prints and more can be found on the artist's INPRNT shop. Check it out! 👀

The second is a recent discovery on Instagram that blew me away: A Vincent van Gogh-style representation of Inside, with so many hidden gems from White Woman's Instagram (like an embroidered fox and dreamcatcher, for starters). Just AMAZING attention to detail!

I am an ENORMOUS fan of Vincent van Gogh (Starry Night is my favorite painting), so this image spoke to me immediately, and I actually reached out to the artist (Jakobi Holck Luke) to see if he would add it to his Redbubble shop (IncredibleHolck), which he did thankfully.

Fun fact: Bo has been compared to the troubled painter by Pete Holmes ("It's exciting to see van Gogh walking in the Mall of America"), and the lyrics to Vincent by Don McLean really sound like Bo imo (especially the intro and this last section):

Now I think I know

What you tried to say to me

How you suffered for your sanity

And how you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they're not listening still

Perhaps they never will

Anyway, I'm just in love with my new art pieces, and I hope you all consider supporting these two artists in the future! ✌🏼🐔

#bo burnham #inside bo burnham #bo burnham inside #kat stacker #lomleyo #jakobi holck luke #so many talented bo artists out there #i wish I could support them all 😭 #vincent van gogh #starry night #vincent #don mclean #pete holmes #standupcomedyhistorian #peanuts comics #charlie brown #schroeder

A musical analysis of Animaniacs

The music in Animaniacs, at least in my humble opinion, is one of the strongest and most notible attributes of the show. Music is so attached to the brand of Animaniacs, and I honestly believe that the show wouldn't be as iconic and prevelent in our pop culture if it wasn't for its score.

To understand just how much music impacts the legacy of this show, we have to first understand the man who was behind all of the iconic tunes we know and love.

This is Richard Stone. Born in Philadelphia in 1953, Stone is a composer who graduated from Jacob's School Of Music in Indiana. After graduating, he moved out west to LA to compose music for various shows and movies such as Northshore and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Eventually, in the late 80s, he would sign a contract with Amblin Entertainment to compose the music for Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, Freakazoid and all the other Speilberg Cartoons that were coming out in the 90s. Stone would go on to win several emmy awards for his composition of Animamiacs, winning in catagories such as "outstanding music direction and composition" and "outstanding original song". With such a talented composer at first base, its no wonder that the music in Animaniacs is of such high quality.

So how exactly does Animaniacs' soundtrack seperate itself from other cartoons of its kind? For starters, every episode is composed with a complete original soundtrack, conducted all under the talented Richard Stone. No soundtrack is ever reused, ever; every episode's score is completly unique to fit the tone of the story.

There are a couple noteworthy soundcues that are present in a majority of episodes. For example, that four note melody that plays at the beginning and end of most episodes (it's the one that plays when the WB logo is shown in the intro). Supposedly, the short melody is set to the lyrics "I'm-Rich-ard-stone" after the name of the composer.

Another notable detail about Animaniacs' score is the heavy usage of the xylophone.

I kid you not, there is not a single soundtrack throughout the entirety of Animaniacs (as well as every other Speilberg cartoon) that does NOT utilize the xylophone in some way. The xylophone most often plays when a character runs in or out of frame, or when a character does a specific action. Stone loved to incorperate the xylophone into the show.

Now let's talk about the song numbers in Animaniacs, 'cause oh boy, there is a bunch! The song numbers in Animaniacs are handled with such care and attention; it's amazing how far the writers went to putting so many layers and detail into the lyrics of these catchy tunes.

Take Yakko's World for example, which is probably the most famous musical number from the show. The entire song is just Yakko naming every single country of the world while pointing at a map. It's so simple, but the song is so effective at acheiving it's messege: to teach the audience (mainly children in elementary school) about the nations of the world.

You'll be surprised at how educational these song numbers are. The majority of these songs were implemented into the show as a sneaky way of abiding by the Children's Television Act that was put in place in the 90s. While these songs were mostly written as a requirement by the network, the quality and care was still put into these simple songs to make them good. They didn't have to do this, but they did it anyway for the sake of quality. It's the small details like these that make me appreciate just how clever and witty the writer's of this show were.

Now, you might be asking yourselves: how do I percieve the music of this show as a fan? In all honesty, I have nothing but respect for Richard Stone and all the talented song writers and musicians that worked to create such a spectacular and clever score for Animaniacs. The music they made will truly stand the test of time. Without their creative imput, Animaniacs wouldn't be nearly as iconic and memorable as it is.

Thank you Richard Stone. May you rest in peace.
