music thoughts

[fiachairecht]

SO I was minding my own business, dying over the new Cellar Darling song and Delain's 'Masters of Destiny' video and Swallow the Sun's 'Firelights' video having Aleah's necklace and THEN youtube's sidebar informed me that I had quite nearly missed THIS. (Sidebar: hmm, my journal style isn't really set up for video-posting, is it? Dunno if I wanna fiddle around with widths etc or if I wanna poke around for another new style — I suppose it will depend on whether I want to make this a regular sort of thing?)

"BATTLE BEAST - No More Hollywood Endings (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)" (Watch on YouTube)

a tale without a history
crushing echoes of my screams
i’m crawling into tragedy
chasing someone else’s dreams

a life without a mystery
creation of dream factory
nothing’s what it seems
goodbye hollywood dreams

no more hollywood endings battle beast

Also, of course, known as: could yous come for my Zelda Spellman feelings any damn harder, I'M NOT SURE YOU CAN, anyway, I cannot wait to see what she burns down in S2.

And, on the topic of music but switching fandoms entirely to Critical Role, the The Spell / The Serpent / Roots triptych forms the basis of all good Vex/Keyleth/Delilah things in the world, though I'm not sure if I'm feeling more fic-ish or mix-ish about them.

...I would do a poll about that, but I feel like you can't edit polls in later? Also the answer is 'jfc Kimara finish one of your wips first p l e a s e' anyway.

Oh heyyyyyyyy.

(Timing! I've literally just been watching the nightmare episode for the millionth time.)

[fiachairecht]

(Okay but isn't rewatching the nightmare episode your constant state of being?)

One day I will Lilith/Zelda fanmix in addition to Lilith/Zelda ficwrite and on that day I will die.

[thatyourefuse]

(CALLED OUT! Very, very accurately. I can't resist a dream sequence episode in the first place, I never had a chance, and I'm still trying to figure out what Even with Hilda's subconscious.)

... and oooooh yes I approve this message. Other than the dying part.

[fiachairecht]

(Oh! I have Hilda thoughts! For, uh. When I have actually finished the season. I know, I'm terrible, but WORK HAPPENED.)

Yes but at least I will die dragging everyone I know down into a pit of Feelings About Symphonic Metal like the universe always intended me to.

(Oh, man, it's a source of near-constant awe and confusion to me that anyone can keep up with their own sanity in your job, let alone their viewing schedule. I look forward to your thoughts whenever. Where are you up to, btw, just because I have a terrible problem with assuming people know what I'm talking about?)

And that is in fact a VERY fair point.

(I am somewhere in the middle of 1x08! Doing a lot of screaming about Prudence!)

[thatyourefuse]

(OHHHHHH FUCK YEAH I BET. I'm perpetually reduced to bat noises about 1.07, like, that all happened. Prudence basically argued Sabrina Spellman to silence on the validity of her faith in her own ritual cannibalization, imagine what she could do with a more supportable argument. Stealth fave episode for Miranda Otto's line readings, with particular mention of the way she starts from "I wonder whether Constance MIGHT think..." and then you can actually hear her jaw progressively tightening. TRUTH CAKE.)

I know nothing about Critical Role, but Myrkur is ALWAYS the best possible music choice for anything.

[fiachairecht]

If a ship and/or character can't be fit to a Myrkur song does that ship/character even matter?

(My fannish experience suggests It Doesn't)

I live for you posting new music because you have impeccable music taste. (I, too, have been dying over Masters of Destiny the past few days, for whatever that’s worth)
