hey you ever think about how act 6 of wandersong doesnt have a the bard and the ___ song in its ost and instead the bards leitmotif gets incorporated into even the tiniest bugs instead later. i talked about this to a friend like a Hot minute ago and also i havent played wandersong in a bit so the analysis might be a bit watered down or jumbled but i think the bugs r like. similar to the bard in a storytelling sense. they really should not matter at all in the grand scheme of things. but like. the whole point of the bard is to defy destiny just by caring for others. a big thing about act 6 is being the most you you can be especially as we start to uncover audreys identity issues in this act and it like. it shows really well with kiwi figuring out a way out by just Being Themself and caring for those smaller than them. the tiny lil bugs who should not have been much of anything were ultimately the key to saving them and this wouldnt have happened if kiwi didnt just give them a chance. bc kiwi can make a difference here. not by being the hero but by being Themself. and that contrasts well with audreys part of the act. and that probably just kind of blended together because i cant be bothered to proofread my asks before sending them but i think about this a lot
to be honest it’s also been a While since I played wandersong and I haven’t listened to the ost nearly enough ]: I should really replay it even if I will get scared of the factory level again. but I went and listened to even the tiniest bugs and auughghggh the bards theme in it is so gentle?? there’s a big build up but then it’s so sweet and gentle?? I might have cried a bit.
I dunno if I can do good analysis given that I haven’t played the game in years but I think I see what you’re getting at. The game does just, an incredible job of showing the bard’s pov and how much it hurts them to not be the hero and have nobody expect anything of them (I definitely did cry at chapter 4) but ultimately I feel worse for audrey? because she has zero choices in the whole ordeal, plays her role perfectly, and Still eyala is dismissive of her because it wasn’t really about Her in the first place, there’s no room for personhood when you’re just there to play a role. so while the bard starts with no one believing in them, they have endless room for growth and choice and Becoming someone important while still staying true to themself, while audrey is forever stuck at just being “the hero”

annihilation (2018) will never be even half of what the southern reach trilogy is but at least it had the bear and the lichen-y swimming pool guy and josie and cells divide by ben salisbury and geoff barrow and just a rly good soundtrack in general

I grew up with exclusively country music and only knew of other songs via them appearing in kids movies. But I only know them by the kids movie and not by name. So I’ve just started referring to them by the movie. So yesterday I overheard that song from Megamind coming through my classmates speakers. And I was like hey man is that that song from Megamind it’s a real banger. And he looked at me like this
