Parallel Paradise

In my last Azur Lane check in, i wrote about how i completed my Iron Blood quest with finally getting that ever illusive Orthant rerun and the surprise addition of U-110 to the Construction Pool. I cannot express how hype i am that i finally completed my Kraut dock. I literally got into this game because or Prinz Eugen so to see how far I've come, in only about two years, legitimately fills me with a sense of accomplishment. I did not expect to enjoy this gacha game so much, especially considering how much of a goddamn chore Fate/Grand Order turned out to be but I'm glad i took the dive. The issue, now, is trying to decide what happens next? Obviously, I'm still an KMS main so whenever an event or ship drops for that faction, i am all over it but what do i do n the meantime? Do i even give a sh*t about other Faction Events? Do i just, i dunno, grind out the other PR ships just for the sake of the grind? Hakuryuu and Chkalov are very interesting. I love a solid Carrier and anytime i can add a Rainbow to any fleet, I am inclined to do so. That last bit will come into play later. Anyway, i was at a loss. Fortunately, Manjuu gave us a brand new Eagle Union event that included a brand new Ultra Rare Carrier. I have a mighty need!

Or, at least, i did, because you know i made a run at that banner with gusto! And if you’ve been around these parts long enough you know i have the luck of the devil when it comes to Event ships! Parallel Superimposition would prove to be no different. Quite the contrary, actually, this one was straight up gangbusters! I actually had a ton of extra Wisdom Cubes because of the aforementioned completed quest. I figured I'd throw a hundred of them at the banner. That’s about five rolls. On my first attempt, i got two Northampton II so i was feeling pretty lucky. Figured I'd need the other three rolls, for sure, before i even saw a hint of the UR get, just based on rarity odds. Didn’t even need them because, on the second, with a total of forty Cubes spent, i popped another copy of Northampton II and two f*cking Yorktown II! That’s right, i popped two UR ships, on my second roll, with the third Northampton II in between them! I couldn’t believe my f*cking eyes! I've never got a UR so quickly, let alone multiple in succession. I think the earliest i ever got a UR was Musashi and it took four rolls and change? Pretty sure my Ulrich popped after seven attempts but i could be wrong. Either way, it took those last three planned rolls on the current event banner, to get Hammann II. F*cking thing gave me two Ultra Rare ships and three Super Rares for forty Cubes, but took another sixty for an Elite? Whatever, bro. I was still within budget and was able to Limit Break Yorktown II once without using my Rainbow Bulin stash. Still came out ahead!

All that’s left is Hornet II and Langley II, both of which are basically just unlocks. Hornet II is the Event Shop Ship and Langley II is a Point Accumulation Reward. Langley pops at ten thousand Points and, after the first day, i had a little or three thousand. Considering Hornet II cost eight large, the Rainbow AD-1 Skyraider costs ten thousand, and there’s another ten thousand points worth of Rainbow Priority Five Blueprints, it stands to reason my general grind at these maps will unlock Langley II sooner than later. I am always super tentative when it comes to the Banner ships during events because luck is a fickle mistress. There might come a time when I'm at the mercy of the Pity Draw for that UR but the grind ships are always a get for me. As long as i like them. Hornet II is actually my most anticipated ship in this vent. I just genuinely like her art but I'm not mad at the overall haul i got during Parallel Superimposition. Plus, as a bonus, i was able to level up a lot of my KMS newcomers, too. Prinz Heinrich and Peter Strasser are completely maxed out a 125 after they received quit a boon from the map grind. All in all, I'm pretty content with my decision to make a run at this particular event. Sh*t ended up being so much more than another UR carrier for my Fleet. Also, can I just give an enthusiastic acknowledgment of Heinrich's new costume, Rabbit on Watch? I don't have a lifeguard fetish or anything but, goddamn, that is some nice use of L2D, I must say!

SHIPGIRL APPRECIATION DAY - Kearsarge

USS Kearsarge. Let's start this post strong: Kearsarge is single-handedly the most unique character in the game (for legal reasons, in my opinion). Her design should already let you know why, but if you aren't seeing why, I will explain.

This post will divert a little bit from the formula I established post-DoY post (the first I did). It will include very, very heavy use of headcanons that are in no way supported by the lore, but I think are neat.

Personality-wise, Kearsarge knows she is superior. She is better than those other shipgirls that have decades of experience. That's simply a fact to her, and since it's a fact; all her actions do not come as arrogant. She just does things - she disregards your orders if she thinks they're not very efficient, she organizes your documents in a way she finds to be perfect regardless of what you prefer, she charges by herself or stays behind depending on the situation.

On occasion, I neglect your will and prioritize the here and now on the battlefield. While you are the Commander, sometimes you have to let your soldiers handle things – the sooner you accept this, the better.

Her approach isn't necessarily wrong, either. Despite this, Kearsarge is a very reliable shipgirl. She is, indeed, strong - her twelve 406mm main guns are accurate and devastating by themselves, but she also has access to a squadron of five F8F Bearcat attack aircraft. Her firepower is incomparable among Eagle Union backliners.

However, her personality doesn't stay like this forever. When you as the player character get closer to her, you discover she's just autistic. She deeply cares about you, but is so expressive about her emotions and trains of thoughts, it's easy to think she's just a self-centered arrogant woman who speaks with a detached tone. She will not outright tell you she's in love with you, but she will make you some borscht! (I should point out Kearsarge is, originally, a ship commissioned by the Soviet Union, hence her Russian influence). That's her love language.

USS Kearsarge, steel version.

Design-wise, I adore how the artist YD managed to take one of the ugliest ships in World of Warships and turn her into such a beautiful, unique, one-of-a-kind shipgirls. An angel descending from the machine, a seraphim clad in steel and powered by steam. A herald from another timeline, where the Eagle Union necessitated the construction of Kearsarge. Her rigging divided symmetrically in half, her turrets and their support structure taking the shape of 4 wings of white metal, the faux wings and herself connected to a floating halo device to act as a mediator between the flesh and the steel. Her planes up in the air, a ghostly echo. Her arms stretched outwards, "fear not".

In the event Parallel Superimposition the commander visits a simulation based on the anomalous data from the hull of Anchorage. We learnt a lot about Anchorage, Dr. Aoste, Dr. Anzeel, and the Type-II hulls. We also learnt Bon Homme Richard exists in this simulation. Now, I believe this realm to be strictly speaking a simulation - not a real universe. However, when the event ended; TB had managed to gather enough information on Yorktown II, Northampton II, Hornet II, Hammann II and Langley II. Laffey II, as much as she made an appearance, couldn't be studied. I am guessing the same goes for Bon Homme. Who is to say Kearsarge doesn't come from this simulation? Or that she comes from a universe that parallels this simulation?

Hopefully I shouldn't have to point the obvious similarities between Anchorage's rigging and Kearsarge's rigging. Anchorage is like a cherub accompanying the cyber-divine orchestra of Kearsarge's guns and planes.

A mushroom cloud rises after a heavy explosion on board the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Lexington (CV-2), 8 May 1942.

This is probably the great explosion from the detonation of torpedo warheads stowed in the starboard side of the hangar, aft, that followed an explosion amidships at 1727 hrs.

Note USS Yorktown (CV-5) on the horizon in the left center, and destroyer USS Hammann (DD-412) at the extreme left.

Storia Di Musica #312 - Kaki King, Legs To Make Us Longer, 2004

La scoperta di grandi chitarriste arriva oggi ad una delle grandi interpreti attuali. Kaki King era l'unica donna presente in una classifica stilata nel 2006 dalla rivista Rolling Stone, The New Guitar Gods, classifica dove peraltro King è l'artista più giovane in assoluto. Eppure il primo strumento che la giovanissima Kaki amava suonare fu la batteria, da adolescente invece la sua passione si trasferì sulle corde di una chitarra. Inizia a suonare in gruppo con un suo amico di scuola alle superiori,  Morgan Jahnig, che diventerà il basista degli Old Crow Medicine Show, un gruppo di Nashville che avrà un forte successo locale negli anni a seguire. Nel 1998 i due amici vanno a New York all'Università, dove Kaki King prende lezioni di chitarra. Per mantenersi, suona da busker nella metropolitana e fa la cameriera in un famoso locale dove si suona dal vivo, il Mercury Lounge.

Kaki riesce a personalizzare a suo modo la tecnica del fingerpicking, che ricordo consiste nel pizzicare le corde della chitarra direttamente con le dite, senza il plettro, che nella sua esecuzione classica prevede la posizione della mano sulle corde vicino al foro della cassa, toccando solo le corde interessate anche se a volte si appoggia il pollice sulle corde per dare più stabilità alla mano. Con piccoli risparmi riesce a registrare un demo di brani strumentali, che impressionano una piccola e giovane etichetta discografica, la Verlour, che nel 2002 le fa firmare il contratto per un disco. L'anno successivo, nel 2003, esce Everybody Loves You: prodotto in prima persona da King, il disco è il primo fulgido esempio della maestria con cui l'artista padroneggia lo strumento. Al fingerpicking che riprende la magia dei giganti americani dello stile, tra cui John Fahey (di cui ho già parlato in questa rubrica), il suo allievo Leo Kottke (dalla vita incredibile e dalla musica inebriante) e Preston Reed (altro campione, che vive in Scozia da venti anni) aggiunge tocchi di flamenco (come la proverbiale tecnica percussiva dello stile andaluso) e addirittura il suonare la chitarra con la tecnica slapping tipica dei bassisti (tecnica che consiste nell'alternare uno slap, cioè uno strappo, e una percussione con il pollice alle corde di uno strumento). Il risultato ammalia la critica, che considera il disco il migliore debutto chitarristi da decenni.

Forte di questo incoraggiamento, Kaki King si mette subito a riscrivere pezzi, e nel 2004 pubblica il disco che ho scelto oggi. La chitarrista passa ad una etichetta di una Major, la Red Ink che fa capo a Epic\Sony Music e in produzione arriva il chitarrista David Torn, uno che ha studiato con Leonard Bernstein, ha suonato con i più grandi artisti del rock, del pop, del jazz, vincendo numerosi Grammy e ha suonato per decine di colonne sonore di film famosi. Il disco, Legs To Make Us Longer, formato da 10 brani strumentali e dal primo esperimento di King al canto, è il tripudio della sua tecnica sorprendente ma piena di sentimento che King ha trasmesso in Everybody Loves You. Ma ci sono anche altre cose in questo lavoro, in primis tocchi di altri strumenti - un contrabbasso, una batteria, accenni di archi in vari punti - che aggiungono più dimensione e consistenza al caratteristico modo di scrivere canzoni di King per chitarra solista. L'impiego di batteria e contrabbasso in Ingots è sorprendente all'inizio, ed è il suo lato spiccatamente melodico che rapisce l'ascoltatore in gemme come Doing The Wrong Thing, dove con King in una danza veloce ma esile attraverso il movimento e lo spazio, si accodano prima il violoncellista Erik Friedlander e la violinista/violista Joyce Hammann entrino nel mix a quattro minuti per portare la melodia nell'etere. King suona per la prima volta su disco la chitarra elettrica in Can The Gwot Save Us?, in uno stile campagnolo e pastorale che, nonostante tutta la sua lentezza ed eleganza, è più misterioso di qualsiasi altra cosa qui. Neanderthal stupisce per la dolcezza, All The Landslides Birds Have Seen Since The Beginning Of The World è misteriosa e quasi gotica, fa impressione la sua capacità di creare emozioni con la tecnica e il suono. La traccia finale dell'album, My Insect Life, la mostra in compagnia di basso, violoncello e batteria, in questa traccia si cimenta per la prima volta al canto, con una voce piccola e "adolescenziale" che è quasi coperta dalla sua chitarra acustica ed elettrica sovraincisa. Due tracce, Frame e Doing The Wrong Thing verranno inserite nella colonna sonora del film Into The Wild di Sean Penn del 2007, con King che insieme a Michael Brook, grandioso musicista e produttore canadese, scrisse i temi principali, accompagnati dalle canzoni che scriverà per la stessa occasione Eddie Vedder (che vincerà il Golden Globe per la miglior canzone originale per Guaranteed). Anche in questo caso, critica entusiasta e un ottimo riscontro di vendite per un disco così particolare. E King aprirà concerti di artisti come David Byrne e collaborerà con i Foo Fighters nel disco Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace (del 2007) dove suona la sua chitarra magica nel brano Ballad Of The Beaconsfield Miners.

Kaki King dopo questo disco cambierà molto nello stile musicale: paurosa di sentirsi descritta solo come un portento della chitarra acustica, inizierà un percorso più che decennale di studiom che continua ancora oggi, e di sperimentazione sulle potenzialità della chitarra, persino organizzando una sorta di spettacolo multimediale con l'aggiunta di video installazioni, giochi di luce, performace artistiche. Sebbene poco conosciuta, King è un talento eccezionale, una figura iconoclasta che è l'unica nuova voce di quest'epoca alla chitarra acustica, anche se esplora altre avvincenti strade sonore e musicali.

Mostly Extensive List of my Comfort Characters

Friends told me to embrace the potential cringe and create a list of characters from media I like that I consider my comfort characters. I'm going to put all of them under a cut since there might be a lot.

If this makes me cringe, then I am cringe, but I am at least free.

Also I will say a lot of my OCs are my comfort characters, but this is for characters that aren't my OCs. Italiced characters are like some of my personal favorite characters.

Parallel Superimposition thoughts

It did a really good job at keeping everything in the cyberspace Very Obviously not real, showing things and conversations that never happened while still keeping it just close enough to reality to leave a little bit of "... what if?" in there. Played out like someone's dying dream until shit the fan; but it wasn't the Arbiter's and it wasn't yours.

Helena apparently having Helena META on speed dial raises some interesting questions about her companion cube thing she has with her SG radar. When she's freaked out she talks to it like it talks back, now we have a tinfoil that it probably was. I can only imagine how those two actually interact now that Helena's aware of her incredibly creepy and dangerous other self for real.

Cyber Memphis realizing it was her real-world self's fault that you're stuck in there and likely going to die because of it then into a near complete psychotic break was great. The events have been getting steadily darker for the Prime Timeline girls, but most of them have been pretty unflappable even if the shrimpier ones get a bit panicked occasionally - they were quite literally born for war, so it's not exactly a surprise they can deal with pressure. Now, though. the stress is starting to show on everyone. They're on the one (1) timeline that has a real chance and a singular fuckup that even incapacitates you at the wrong moment means Game Over for everyone. It's A Lot and good to see some actual impact from that.

The elephant in the room though is Yorktown, Hornet, Northampton, and Hammann coming back which is great for the Union girls... but then we see them being introduced to Enterprise. We even get her Trauma Montage™ with Yorktown narrating how sorry she is that they all died and left her alone to carry everyone that reminds me of this post I made

And then we get Enterprise's reaction, which is literally "..." and then the Hornet Crew™ goes into comic relief mode. She says nothing. Her reaction to it is to completely shut down. Enterprise.exe has stopped. Yorktown has to awkwardly try and close out her monologue in the face of her sister's non-reaction, which made me feel like she was just staring at her with a blank face the whole time.

Which is hilarious but also pretty realistic. I can't imagine any movie tearful reunion if any of my dead people just sort of walked into my room one day. I don't think I'd be able to process it.

This event comes right after the last major Sakura spotlight, which had Akagi fully commit to damning herself for the power to save her people and see Amagi again, because she's that scared and desperate. It was a nice juxtaposition: here's her 'rival' getting their deepest wish on a silver platter and the reaction to it is.... Nothing.

#Akagi: I WANT MY FAMILY BACK #Enterprise: I did too. I think. Maybe. #azurwyrm
