whenever I see someone making fun of the tidelords disappearance I get SO angry. Its just so insensitive to water dragons, and it ALWAYS comes from a wind, earth, or ice dragon. Like I don’t think you have any ground to stand on guys, your deities are still more neglectful than the tidelord and he’s not even here

There is a universe in which i was caught up properly on CR whenever what the fuck went down and Imogen verbally and definitively declared that- after everything leading up to this and the back and forth and indecision- that she'd be willing to take down her mom if need be. and i would have been deeply insufferable and writing 20+ separate meta posts and liveblog yelling posts and shitposts. This is not that universe so instead we will put this post here where i can have wildly uninformed (aka 20 eps behind) Emotions about it until someday i actually catch up.
(I know. i accidentally wrote potentially wildly off base/deeply out of date meta again. what can i say. i like shaking the concept of An Imogen (even if it is Outdated Imogen) in a jar. sorry.)
Because i was watching long enough, I think, to see Imogen in the throes of the hope for something better, to understand that Imogen was viewing her mom was a figure and an idea and an answer, that would make things easier. Her mom was- gone, so early. And so her mom, in her mind, was not a person she was an idea, and there was so much hinged on that! Dogged determination and anger at her father and a deep seated dislike of the powers in her hands and head even as they gave her a guilty rush. There were promises there that maybe no one else had made, but Imogen believed. Things built up. Expectations made. Lore crafted, even unconsciously, around someone who was, yes, important to Imogen, but more importantly: Missing. Gone. A blank slate to be filled in. A promise of an answer guide to open questions.
And then she meets her mom, and Liliana Temult goes from a figure to a person- with all the bells and whistles and rough edges. She meets her mom and her mom turns her away. Tells her to run. Tells her she should go. Tells her to leave.
And Imogen doesn't. In the same way she kept visiting libraries, keps asking, kept pushing for answers when it was just about her magic and her headaches and the voices. Imogen always, always wants to know. She keeps digging, she keeps trying, she reaches out, over and over and keeps trying to touch this figure in mist until she's real under her hands, and. Evidence piles up- of deeds gone wrong, blood on her hands, a figure standing next to Otohan (her friends bodies scattered, lifeless, around Otohan). She keeps reaching out, keeps trying, and is rebuffed, over and over. Things get worse and the skies get redder and magic goes dead and she's still- unsure, because what if there's a better reason, what if there's a better way, there has to be a reason, why. There has to be, right- maybe if- maybe. Maybe-
Its just like- a person as an idea. As a symbol. As a promise. One you build yourself up around and towards. One you talk about, not talk to.
And then the fog clears, and they are a human.
(And she's your mom, and she's not what you imagined. She's done you wrong. She's done your loved ones wrong. She's hurt you. She's hurt others. She's going to keep hurting you. She is going to keep hurting everyone. She is too far gone to reason with. She is not listening to you. She is flawed. She is. dangerous. She looks so much like you. You look just like her. You are so similar. You have always known you were similar. You always hoped. You.
Are not her. You are not hers. She is not yours. She is not who you thought she was. She was always someone else. So are you.)
Imogen walks through the bases pretending to be her mother. Liliana is a known face- a powerful one, a figure people fear. A well known silhouette. Imogen slips into the shadows of it, sometimes, when it serves her, but we know- she knows- its all an act. All a lie.
Liliana, after all, is alive, and well, making choices that she believes in and fighting for things with a dogged determination maybe only matched by her daughter.
Imogen knows this. I think. There's a part of her that maybe wishes that wasn't the case.
"There is no loyalty with this blood." And after all- only living people bleed.

Sorry to those of you who are misinformed but despite what the show says Malakai did not gaslight Amerie. This show's cringe a$s lines are generally nothing to take too seriously, but some of you do not know what that word means. Say he wasn't perfect, but what Malakai did was not gaslighting and it's clear that none of you have actually been gaslit if you think anyone treating you badly is them gaslighting you like it's a common descriptive verb. In season 1, I thought this show generally used teen-cringe language to be tongue-in-cheek, but words like narcissistic (s1) and gaslight are not just used as synonymous with lying and being a jerk.

HEY MAN!! Just wanted to let you know I’m pretty sure that comic Noir isn’t actually a teen in his comics!! He’s like 25 at the very least in his most recent comic-
It’s true that time does pass in the noir comics but I stick to my own gospel (his 2009 & 2010 run) where he is def implied to be under 18. I made a whole post about it here
When I’m talking abt comic noir 99.9999% of the time that’s the creature I’m referencing

finally wrote down some notes on the new single so in case you enjoy rambly music thoughts, here you go:
the devil in me is my favourite part of the release for sure, which i'm really pleased about. i personally find that with their single releases, the remakes can sometimes even overshadow the new song (especially since i tend not to be the biggest fan of their lead singles in general for some reason), but this time that was definitely not the case for me.
i'm really liking the vibe of the song. it's quite laid back and palatable despite being heavier on the vocals. i like that it's lower tempo and quite bass heavy, leaving quite a bit of "air" in between the higher guitars and vocal track, making it really stand out. kyo, i think, is using his range quite smartly here, and everything sounds quite smooth and effortless. i love whenever he does the choral background vocals, and i think they really elevate the second half of the chorus.
instrumental-wise, my favourite bit is for sure the outro. i love how the song sort of mellows down but manages to keep the tension, ending on a discordant note that really mirrors the feeling of frustration and despair expressed in the text.
thematically, the song reminds me of tiw, but it's also reminiscent of some of their mid-era songs (esp the riffs in the verses). however, it feels quite fresh as well for the reasons i mentioned earlier. my main issue with this whole release is once again with the mixing; more on that when i get to the remakes.
the music video concept is quite interesting and also feels like a continuation to some of the themes on tiw and phalaris. the use of ai in the visuals has been mentioned in a lot of the discussions and i'm not going to get too deep into that; i'm just going to say that while i can see why it was used in the context of this particular video, i'm generally apprehensive of it (not least because of its implications for artists) and hope it doesn't become a recurring thing.
also, everyone's outfits and makeup are 1000/10.
as for the remakes, i was unsure as to how these two songs in particular could be adapted to suit their modern style, and i have to say i feel that these particular re-recordings were done more with the current tour in mind and not so much with the idea of breathing new life into the songs (unlike with 19990120 which i felt was wonderfully executed). the arrangements are quite true to the originals (despite the cage intro getting a horror movie makeover), and while they are certainly technically well executed, i personally couldn't quite get as immersed in the vibe with these remakes as with the og versions.
there are certainly bits in the remakes i was excited about, namely the cage intro and bridge (love the mellow vocals!) as well as kyo's phrasing in the yokan vocals, but i think their current mixing does a pretty big disservice to these kinds of songs in particular. the way everything is so compressed and at times muddy makes the songs feel a little lustreless and rushed.
still, i think it's incredible they re-recorded these songs (never would've thought i'd see the day!) and i need a remake of the yokan mv stat lol
all in all, looking at the devil in me, i'm excited for any new songs to come! as i usually tend to like their second single release of a new album cycle more than the first, i am quite eager to see what's in store.

Look at me, directly here, in my face
If an easement is a legal document granting rights to a property to someone other than the owner of that property, including the right to access the property
And easements run with the deed, not with the owner, and may be limited or permanent
Can a vampire get in if someone has previously granted them an easement on your house
