[buttercupjosh]

There are just not enough words to describe how proud I am of Hippo Campus. This band has been a part of my life since 2015 and I still can’t believe that I, alongside some great friends, were a part of witnessing them headlining at Red Rocks for the first time.

I’ve seen Hippo live before (in 2018 before my birthday) but the experience of seeing one of my favorite bands perform an amazing set at such a beautiful and iconic venue, there’s just no words. This band of friends from Minnesota did that, without radio but with love from their fans💜

(Also, shoutout to Charly Bliss and Gus Dapperton for also putting on a fun set last night as well😌✨)

Another really fun but extremely unexpected thing to happen was that I casually ran into Whistler and Zach from Hippo at the grocery store the night before the show. Thank you both (and also thank you to Demi and Gianna) for your kindness and patience with me😌✨

Last thing: I finally got to hear Poems live. It’s been one of my favorite Hippo songs since it was released in 2017 and hearing it live at such a wonderful place, surrounded by so many people was magical and amazing.

(I guess all of those tweets and telling Whistler and Zach directly to play it actually worked😌)

Overall, I’m so grateful, thankful and blessed from this whole experience. I’m so thankful for Hippo Campus for using the power of music to bring myself and so many others joy and to bring us all together. I got to meet some of my Internet besties because of them and made some amazing memories😌✨

The Time Traveller and the Eternal Queen

If Layton and Janice parallel one another, then so do their partners, Claire and Melina.

In the present of their respective stories, Claire and Melina are both ghosts. Memories. Dead women walking. 

One died ten years prior to PL3 in an experiment gone wrong. The other died of illness a year before Eternal Diva.

It’s easy to blame Bill Hawks for Claire’s ‘killing’, but what if they hadn’t run the experiment early, behind Dimitri’s back? What if they have worked through those fatal complications? Travelling through time still would have been a dangerous endeavour, regardless, and I think Claire still would have offered to be the test subject.

There’s no one to blame for Melina’s illness, unless you believe the Azran marked her with the same fate as the Ambrosian queen. (It’s me, I believe that because Azran were awful.) I’m sure Whister and Descole did everything they could to cure Melina. Maybe a Golden Garden with its pure air could have helped…

Although Claire appears in the present, her body shows signs of molecular instability. Dimitri— gripped by heartbreak and guilt and pride— struggles to stabilise Claire’s existence, like Whistler and even Janice fight to stabilise Melina’s existence. 

In the Eternal Diva novelisation, after Melina’s death, Melina describes waking up in Janice’s body and communicating with Janice. Melina is determined to ‘disappear’ (much like Claire wanted to disappear) but Janice insists she needs to stay.

“I’ve just found you again… Do you realise how much I missed you? I can’t let you go on like this. This isn’t just for you. This is also for me. Melina, you may not understand, but the grief and suffering of those left behind is so strong… Losing my best friend not once, but twice, would surely break my heart…”

Janice’s determination and desperation here reminds me so much of Dimitri!

Melina champions Janice’s self-sacrifice and her noble, pure heart. If you look at Dimitri in another light, his ten long years of dedication to the time travel and saving Claire could be seen as noble and self-sacrificing… kidnapping scientists aside!

Janice voluntarily buries her personality and persuades Melina to stay, so there’s no problem, right…?

I love how Melina enjoys living life through Janice and it takes Melina a while (Maybe a couple of months?) to realise this is wrong, both for her and for Janice. The two of them need to move on, even if it hurts.

It makes Melina feel more flawed and realistic. It makes me wonder if Claire had similar hopes of surviving when she first landed in the present.

Claire and Melinas’ lives were preserved through scientific means that broke the laws of nature— requiring memories— by grieving loved ones, who were manipulated by a mastermind.

Claire begged Dimitri to quit his work on the time machine and to free the kidnapped scientists. Melina wanted her father to stop stealing the lives with the Detragon so that she could survive.

When Claire and Melina felt they alone couldn’t get through to their misguided ‘saviours’, they turned to Hershel Layton.

‘Celeste’, after helping the gang escape from the research facility, confides to Layton that she knows Claire was quite fond of him. Melina, after her identity is revealed, admits that Janice is very fond of the Professor indeed. 

Melina, through Janice, wrote to the professor. Although Janice had assured Melina he would be able to help, Melina kept her identity hidden. Maybe Melina feared her father and Descole would find out, which would have made it difficult for her to slip away.

Claire pretended to be ‘Celeste’, her younger sister. This would have spared Layton, Paul and others from more heartbreak…

Unfortunately, when Layton reveals Melina’s identity, this enables Descole to complete his plan. He whisks Melina away on the Detra-Gigant and orders her to sing A Song of the Sea. Melina— hoping to save her father and friends— complies. Layton and Luke, in turn, fly up to save Melina. 

There’s nothing wrong with a character needing to be saved, as long as they’re given time to interact with others and actually… be a character, as Melina is. Layton isn’t there insisting Janice stays in the shed while he and Luke investigate the gothic castle. See Level 5 where was this writing for Flora

Luke convinces Layton that he should be the one to leap onto the giant machine to rescue Melina…

Similarly, Claire convinces Layton to let her go back for Clive on the Mobile Fortress, because Clive isn’t the only one to blame. 

Both Claire and Melina take an underserved amount of self-recrimination and regret for the grief that their deaths caused others. Even Claire, knowing the risks of time travel, didn’t ask to die. She didn’t ask Dimitri to build another Time Machine, anymore than Melina asked Whistler to use the Detragon.

It’s not fair how Claire and Melina each lost the futures they were looking forward to - it’s not fair how Layton and Janice were left grieving twice - it’s not fair that Bill and Descole got away with their crimes (Redemption or not, how many of those kidnapped people needed therapy?) - but fate isn’t fair.

At the very least, Claire and Melina live on through everyone’s memories. The time traveller and the eternal diva, immortalised.

What the hell so now Joshua is mad at me because his girlfriend couldn’t get anywhere in the music industry, even though he thought he was so clever by using me

They are not going to make excuses for what they did to these children. Uncle Josh is not a special man.

And then you laughed when Cole died. Yeah he would try to switch it around like that. Sure that’s how Stevie would try also but Stevie is very very desperate today. Very desperate.

Gramma probably won’t leave you anything you act like an arrogant piece of shit you’re a bad version of me

“Thank you… for loving me.”

One of the most heartbreaking parts of Eternal Diva is how much Melina recognises everything her father did was out of love for her, but at the same time, she asks him to stop trying to save her.

But Melina didn’t reveal herself (masquerading as Janice) initially, because what if her father wanted her to stay? So, that’s why she had to contact the professor. If the professor had solved the mystery without unveiling Melina’s ‘disguise’, Melina could have eventually just faded away without anyone knowing.

This is another parallel between Melina and Claire… Claire begged Dimitri to stop his work on the time machine, but when he didn’t listen, that’s when Layton needed to get involved. Claire was probably planning to quietly disappear too, without causing Layton any more grief, but then Dimitri tells Layton the truth.

I think Dimitri told Layton the truth about Claire because he wanted Layton to live with the same hurt and guilt he felt, knowing Claire was there the whole time but they couldn’t save her.

Meanwhile, Layton revealed the truth about Melina in front of everyone (including Descole) because… plot twist drama. And he wanted to know why his student’s girlfriend was pretending to be her. Maybe he was worried about Janice, IDK.

Patti Smith on art, music and the spirit of punk: “you look at like Jesus saying, ‘Okay, all you have to do, basically, people, is love one another, and everything will build on that.’ But then you have everyone coming after him that says, 'Okay, you have to love one another, and here are these 40 other rules’”

Patti Smith: “For me, it’s not about tradition at all; it’s about rules and regulations. I like history; I like certain traditions; I like certain rituals, but as soon as they’re encased in rules and regulations, they become inclusive. I mean, you look at like Jesus saying, 'Okay, all you have to do, basically, people, is love one another, and everything will build on that.’ But then you have everyone coming after him that says, 'Okay, you have to love one another, and here are these 40 other rules, and then these rules and these rules, and you know you have to then be this aspect. You can’t be Protestant, or you can’t be Catholic, or you can’t be just non-denominational. As long as you pray and love, you have to be in this religion; you have to wear these clothes; you have to do'…

It’s all the rules and regulations that come with anything, with going to school, with everything we do. Even movements, great movements, important movements that make change, they get like eventually like clubs, and then all they care about is their special interest.

And I think it’s the rules—these rules and regulations—that constantly we’re fighting and trying to shed. And if that makes me, you know, less moral and my less moral because I refuse to have an organized religion, I don’t feel that at all because I feel completely unfettered. My relationship with God is unfettered by a bunch of rules and regulations about how to get to Him. And I think that, you know, is the real key, is just to be a good person. If you’re just a good person, you know, I don’t care what side of the, you know, what you know. Everybody can keep their values, keep their traditions, but you know, as Lennie said, 'live in harmony.’

I don’t think that all arts should talk to everybody. Robert Mapplethorpe didn’t feel like his x-rated photographs or his sadomasochistic photographs were for everyone. They weren’t for his mother; they weren’t for young people or children. They were for specific people. A lot of people look at a Jackson Pollock; it makes them ill, but they will love a Vermeer. You know, I don’t think that everything has to be for everybody. Some people might never like Allen Ginsberg’s poems; that’s okay. They’ll like maybe Wordsworth. You know, we have a whole spectrum and a whole, you know, all of the possibilities to enter the creative sphere and define, you know, where we relate to this expansive consciousness. And it could be through, you know, Whistler or it could be, you know, through Wagner. And it’s just, you know, I think that, you know, it doesn’t have to just be through something new or something, you know, I don’t like all new art. In fact, I can’t stand most contemporary art. You can take all of Jeff Koons and throw them into—I don’t even know; you could bury him in the Hawaiian crater.”

Other speaker: - It’s called the “shlok of the news.”

Patti Smith: “I’m just saying that it’s just, for those like Jesus said, 'those who will hear will hear, and those who will see will see.’

I would have been very happy though we were never in the mainstream. Even when we had one successful song, it was on such a controversial album that, you know, we managed always to stay, like, in the illuminated underground. I would have loved if we could have written a song on Horses, that I used to call it my dream of writing the hit of the world—writing a song that everybody heard and was like felt uplifted by it. Everybody; it was like, you know, the perfect top song, you know, 'Reach Out For Me’ or something, to write one like that. But I don’t have that gift. You know, it’s a gift that Smokey Robinson had or various people have, but I don’t have that particular gift. And I don’t say that like being humble; it’s just a truth. I mean, if I had it, I’d have written the hit of the world. I don’t think it’s important to stay in the underground to be an artist. I would love to see the greatest artists that ever lived suddenly beloved by the whole world.

You know, but, so, you know, you just, we just keep doing our work. You know, it’s like we never cared whether we were even though I had that secret dream. We didn’t do our work to, you know, make money or to be pop stars or dress in a certain way. We got in trouble at least once a week. Everything that we were asked to do, we usually did the opposite—not to be contrary just because that’s the way we were going. We were like, 'No, I’m not going to brush my hair for the cover of 'Horses.’ I’m not going to, like, no, I’m not going to wear a dress on the cover of this album. No, I’m not going to take the word 'pissing’ out of 'Pissing in the River.’ Always, always, oh, no, I’m not going to call it, you know, 'rock and roll potato’ instead of 'rock and roll.’ I’m gonna, you know, no, I’m not going to shave my armpits.’ I mean, it was like the stupidest fights every single—everything we did was a fight, right? But we were, like, we were happy to fight. I mean, Jesus Christ, you know, to be a young person, I knew if you’re going to be a poet or an artist or anything like this, a troubadour, you were going to suffer. You’re probably going to be poor; you were gonna maybe have TB (tuberculosis). I mean, anything that’s going to happen, but you were going to, you know, be blessed with the opportunity to create in this manner and unfettered by, you know, the world’s expectations and demands. You were just going to do your work, and that’s what we did.”

Other speaker: “And I would have to say that that is a legacy that we got from the counterculture of the 1960s—the sense of idealism, the sense of possibility that you could choose your own path, and if it was rocky, well, that’s, you know, that’s rolly. I mean.”

(Patti Smith discusses art, music and the spirit of punk as protest at the Nexus Institute’s Symposium 'An Education in Counterculture’ in May 2018.)

Sammy Thunder Appreciation

Part 7, Baby:

First post

Previous post

So, before making it to the hotel to hear what Chelmey had to say; I overheard his conversation with Hopper:

Fact 1: Sammy has been to Folsense as many times as Beluga has, which is fairly often.

Fact 2: Beluga's treatment of Sammy isn't caused by any stress about finding the Elysian Box. He's always mean to him.

Finally I'm at the hotel: Who is the murderer?

Look at Sammy. Clearly he's not concerned about being a suspect. He never even met Schrader. There's no way he's about to accused of-

Sammy: Wow. Somebody finally got my name right. I mean- What!!!???

Poor Sammy looks shocked. Does this boy look like a killer? When he talked about slaying, that's not what he meant!

Honestly, if Sammy was the twist villain I would support him 100%.

Beluga has emotionally and possibly physically abused him for years. Nobody seems to respect him. He works hard but gets no credit. Technically he is part of the Herzen family so he has a right to the box too.

Let's discuss: What kind of villain would Sammy be?

Would he be a sad villain like Mr. Whistler or Dimitri Allen where he does bad things, but is clearly in a lot of pain? Layton could easily talk him down from his revenge plan.

Would he be a fun villain like Don Paolo where he has an evil plan but is so entertaining you can't help but love him?

Or would he be the destructive villain like Descole and Clive, where the Molentary Express transforms into a giant machine and he starts destroying Folsense whilst playing rock music?

Would he keep his rockin' personality or reveal that it was all a persona?

I think he could do anything he wanted to.
