#the desert I live in now has worse hail when it does storm

[thefigureinthecorner]

tama-rrow will be kinder- an am archives playlist

at least 3 months and 31 songs later and this monster of a playlist finally has a cover hell yeah

the pun title is....... literally the only fun thing about this playlist, actually.

song notes, and also spoilers, under the cut

a lot of these songs are mood songs; the lyrics don’t have a whole lot of relevance. most of them do have at least some lyrical relevance, though, provided that the song has any lyrics at all. it’s p much just the songs that helped me draw all that Good Good Angst

also important to note: I started making it after episode 9, so it’s mostly relevant to the back half of the show, and especially to the last couple of episodes.

again, this is 31 songs and over 2 hours long, so the notes are........ kind of long

Ghosts That We Knew - Mumford & Sons

So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light/'Cause oh that gave me such a fright/But I will hold as long as you like/Just promise me we'll be alright

Desert Song - My Chemical Romance

this is one of those songs that’s there primarily for mood reasons; i added it right after episode 9 came out and it was on loop pretty much the whole time i was drawing stuff for that episode. the lyrics are kinda relevant, but not enough for me to pull out any specific lines.

The World Is Ugly - My Chemical Romance

this was added for mood reasons after 9, but then it became relevant.

I just wanted you to know/That the world is ugly/But you're beautiful to me/Are you thinking of me/Like I'm thinking of you/I would say I'm sorry, though/Though I really need to go

The Light Behind Your Eyes - My Chemical Romance

yes, there are three mcr songs in a row, and no, i’m not gonna apologize for that. the am archives slam dunked me right back into my emo phase. also, this song just straight-up hurts. like, the whole thing.

If I could be with you tonight/I would sing you to sleep/Never let them take the light behind your eyes/I failed and lost this fight/Never fade in the dark/Just remember you will always burn as bright

In Case You Don't Live Forever - Ben Platt

my one note for this song is: ow.

I've waited way too long to say/Everything you mean to me/In case you don't live forever, let me tell you now/I love you more than you'll ever wrap your head around/In case you don't live forever, let me tell you the truth/I'm everything that I am because of you

Spanish Sahara - Foals

this one’s another mood song, but it does have some lines that work; the forget the horror here sections are the biggest reason this song ended up on the playlist, actually, mood aside.

Hot Gates - Mumford & Sons

mood mostly, but also:

And I can't be for you all of the things you want me to/But I will love you constantly/There's precious little else to me/And though we cry, we must stay alive

Iridescent - Linkin Park

When you were standing in the wake of devastation When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown And with the cataclysm raining down, insides crying save me now You were there impossibly alone

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation You build up hope but failure's all you've known Remember all the sadness and frustration And let it go, let it go

Gone Away - SafetySuit

again: ow.

i just... go look at the lyrics. do it. it hurts.

POWERLESS - Linkin Park

it’s mostly here for mood, but the lyrics feel relevant in a way that i can’t pinpoint but it’s a way that hurts.

Daylight - Boyce Avenue

i have other connections to this specific cover of this song that make it Extra Painful but like Daylight started playing literally right after Crazy while i was at CVS and i was like hey hi excuse me i just wanted to get some Arizona w h y

anyway.

Here I am staring at your perfection/In my arms, so beautiful/The sky is getting bright, the stars are burning out/Somebody slow it down/This is way too hard/'Cause I know, when the sun comes up/I will leave, this is my last glance/That will soon be memory

Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol

ah. the Quintessential Sad Medical Drama Song. not that tama is a medical drama but like it kinda gave me those vibes at times?? anyway. it’s here for mood more than anything but there are some lyrics in it that hurt

The Winner Takes It All - ABBA

not even abba is safe from tama angst.

no seriously though i got this song stuck in my head and had an aw fuck come on seriously???? ABBA?????? you’re making ABBA hurt???????? moment

re: joan and owen

The gods may throw a dice/Their minds as cold as ice/And someone way down here/Loses someone dear/The winner takes it all/The loser has to fall/It's simple and it's plain/Why should I complain

and re: joan and wadsworth

I don't want to talk/If it makes you feel sad/And I understand/You've come to shake my hand/I apologize/If it makes you feel bad/Seeing me so tense/No self-confidence/But you see/The winner takes it all

I Of The Storm - Of Monsters and Men

Are you really gonna love me when I'm gone?/I fear you won't/I fear you don't/And it echoes when I breathe/Until all you see is my ghost/Empty vessel, crooked teeth/Wish you could see/And they call me under/And I'm shaking like a leaf/And they call me under/And I wither underneath

Hail To Whatever You Found In The Sunlight That Surrounds You - Rilo Kiley

this one is 100% a mood song. i’ve debated taking it off the playlist but it just... gets me in the right headspace for drawing tama art, i guess?? something about the sadness/anxiety in the song or something i think

Fear - Sleeping At Last

it’s instrumental, so yeah, mood song

For Good - Wicked

i’ve made art based on this song, but i didn’t even use the lyrics that actually hurt the most?

And just to clear the air/I ask forgiveness/For the things I've done you blame me for

But then, I guess we know/There's blame to share

And none of it seems to matter anymore

Empty Chairs At Empty Tables - Les Miserables

yeah so realizing how well this song fit kind of felt like what i would imagine getting hit by a train feels like

the whole song fits. just trust me on this.

All Gone (No Escape) - Gustavo Santaolalla

another instrumental one that’s mood-only, but i was rewatching a last of us playthrough as a reference for a thing and this song popped up towards the end and i was like “ah, that hurts, i need it”

All Is Well (It's Only Blood) - Radical Face

y’know what? the song’s pretty short. have all the lyrics, and i’m sorry.

All is well now Pay no mind All is well now I'm just fine I'm just fine It's only blood; I have plenty left It's only blood; I just need to rest I said I'd fix this That I'd set things straight You begged me not to But I couldn't stay Couldn't wait They cut me up, but I did them worse And I'll be fine, I just need to rest All is well now All is well now All is well now All is well now

......yeah.

when i heard it, i swear to god it replicated that exact sinking feeling i felt in the pit of my stomach when i first listened to episode 15. it fits way too well, and i have too many feelings about this song, and hhhhhhh

After the Storm - Mumford & Sons

And I won't die alone and be left there Well I guess I'll just go home, Oh God knows where Because death is just so full and man so small Well I'm scared of what's behind and what's before

The Trapeze Swinger - Iron & Wine

someone in the tag mentioned this song and i’ve been crying over it ever since

it’s just. 9 minutes of jesus christ, ow, what the fuck

Winter Song - The Head and the Heart

this one’s mostly here for mood, but some of the lyrics do fit and they hurt, like “we’re just praying that we’re doing this right/but that’s not the way it seems”; joan realizing that she’s been going about the tier 5 clear out the wrong way and the costly mistakes that come with that.

Touch - Sleeping At Last

i think this one’s mostly for the mood, but there’s something in the lyrics that make me think of joan in the finale; that kind of numb, “none of this feels real” denial of everything that’s happened both to her and to the people she loves.

Silhouette - Owl City

this song hurts especially in the context of the “i need you to be happy” line, i think; the line changing between “will i ever feel again//will i ever smile again//will i ever love again” is just, like, a trifecta of pain

The fire I began, is burning me alive But I know better than to leave and let it die I'm a silhouette asking every now and then Is it over yet? Will I ever smile again? I'm a silhouette chasing rainbows on my own But the more I try to move on the more I feel alone So I watch the summer stars to lead me home

All Is Well (Goodbye, Goodbye) - Radical Face

fun fact! all is well (it’s only blood) has a companion song!! because you know what’s better than one angst? two angst!!

And I have lost your face It slips between my fingers now And all the world is gray As though you took the colors with you When you went and passed away

It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday - Jason Mraz

this one’s on my joan/owen playlist too, but it hurt too much to not put it here.

And if we get to see tomorrow I hope it's worth all the wait It's hard to say goodbye to yesterday

And I'll take with me the memories To be my sunshine after the rain It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

Cradle and All - Audra McDonald

i’m just sitting here, innocently listening to joan’s playlist, when this song pops up and i’m like aw fuck aw shit no goddammit

It's not like he didn't love, no, that I couldn’t conceive There are many ways a man can stay And many ways that he can leave

--

Oh hush, oh hush, don't be scared I know that you tried, I know cared Let's put it behind us, that noise in the hall

We All Go the Same - Radical Face

i’ve made art for this song, too! it hurts. it’s sad. it’s about death. it’s got sad piano. what more explanation do you want

Light In The Hallway - Pentatonix

it’s.... comforting in a sad way, idk. it felt like it fit, especially towards the end of this playlist.

Tomorrow Will Be Kinder - The Secret Sisters this song is kind of like... sad and optimistic at the same time. i wanted to end this playlist on at least kind of a lighter note, and i think this song does that. it works with the finale; sad, not quite recovered, but still looking towards the future and knowing things can still be better despite every terrible thing that’s happened.

also, it’s where the pun title comes from.

Sorrow weighs my shoulders down And trouble haunts my mind But I know the present will not last And tomorrow will be kinder

Tomorrow will be kinder It's true, I've seen it before A brighter day is coming my way Yes, tomorrow will be kinder

Today I've cried a many tear And pain is in my heart Around me lies a somber scene I don't know where to start

Obligations

Who: Merrick Lockwood, an unnamed messenger. What: Somebody finds Merrick out in the desert with a summons he cannot turn down. When: During his period of roaming, so about nowish. How: G, nothing untoward.

He surfaces from that not-sleep in the cave he’s been sheltering in, with no memory of how he arrived, and accepts it gratefully.  He survived.  He is whole.  And he is alone, where no one will see him as the rain and hail and thunder roll across the Lochs.  He risks closing his eyes, and he can still feel the aether spooling out of him, feeding it.  He urges it away from the saltery, out over the lake, before he lets go.  The magic has become its own thing now, wild and free, a real storm, and so long as he doesn’t know of anyone in immediate danger from it he won’t wreck himself sucking it all back in like he did in Rhalgr’s Reach.

This has gone well beyond ridiculous, but he accepts it.  It is his lot to be the conduit for this thing, to breathe life into these calamities in miniature, dropping enough water to flash flood and winds so strong they toss boulders.  If he’d been more alert it wouldn’t have been necessary, but he stumbled upon the great minotaur that stalked the canyons, the one that drew hunters from far and wide with Gyr Abania’s borders open again.

Merrick pushes himself up from the sandy floor to lean against the rough wall, joints protesting.  He’s lucky, he muses, that none of the hunters he knows have made their way out here to test it.

While he’s tugging apart the mask and cowl that hide his face there’s a soft noise, a fluttering, and he stills, the metal face plate in one hand and cowl dropping down to pool around his neck.  “Ser Stormcaller?”

He doesn’t flinch, by some miracle, and looks up to find, of all things, a sopping wet moogle in Adder yellows, a hunting cap perched smartly on her head, a tiny bow and quiver at her back, and a bag not unlike the ones the postmoogles carry slung around her.  “Yes,” he answers, and pushes off from the wall to stand.

“Oh!”  She dips in the air and sighs dramatically in relief.  “You’re a tough nut to find, kupo!  I have a message for you!”  She spins around and uses the momentum to grab her bag out of the air before digging around.  “It’s here somewhere, oh, uh--” 

Merrick begins dusting himself off while she panics about whether she left the letter or not, each motion of his hands the beat of a mantra in his mind.  He’ll have to leave again.  He tries not to let the panic and the frustration eat him alive, tries to find some calm, quiet space in his mind.  At least he has very little to pack up and carry, and even that he can live without if necessary.

“Here it is!”  She produces the letter, holding it up proudly before flitting closer and offering it to him.  Merrick straightens and takes it, turning it over in his hands.  “From the Alliance--Ala Mhigan Joint Administration of Reclamations and Repatriation!  Nuts, but that’s a mouthful!” 

He doesn’t wait for her to leave but begins opening the letter with a muttered, “Thank you.”  She salutes, and does a little twist in the air before making her way out.

Inside it reads:

[ISSUE DATE]

[REFERENCE NUMBER]

OFFICIAL USE ONLY

TO BE USED BY INTENDED RECIPIENT ONLY. PENALTIES FOR INAPPROPRIATE ACCESS TO RESOURCES HEREIN OFFERED WILL BE PURSUED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW IN RELEVANT JURISDICTIONS.

RECIPIENT: Merrick Lockwood or Coren Lockwood

Ser Merrick Lockwood,

We have finished processing your request and have determined your claims to the estate of the late Lord Stormcaller to be truthful and legal.  Assets seized prior to and during Garlean occupation have been identified to the fullest extent possible with regard to currently available records.  Your information will be kept on file in the event more relevant records are recovered.  You are henceforth entitled to present this letter to our office in Ala Mhigo to begin legal transfer of assets.  Pending the formation of a formal government any titles and rights wrongfully stripped prior to and during Garlean occupation are hereby restored.

As instructed, should you be incapacitated all rights herein granted will transfer to your sibling Coren Lockwood, held in trust for his return by Maelstrom command.

ALLIANCE--ALA MHIGAN JOINT ADMINISTRATION OF RECLAMATIONS AND REPATRIATION

But inside he finds another letter, the paper fine linen and the handwriting feminine, with the sort of cleanliness that only comes after many drafts:

Lord Stormcaller,

On behalf of the provisional government of Ala Mhigo I am extending the offer of an advisory position regarding matters of magical and military affairs.  We are led to understand your family stood in the right for many years even before the Garleans came, and at the last suffered greatly for it.  And that you yourself have fought for our country with almost single-minded determination, and for our countrymen before you ever set foot on our homeland’s soil. I cannot promise you will retain your title, as we do not yet know what the future holds for our nation, but we would be honored to have your expertise at hand while we forge that future.

I will be unable to meet with you personally for some time while I am occupied with organizing the elections, but I am under the impression that reclaiming your family’s manor may occupy a great deal of time.  It’s quite the spooky eyesore, I’ll admit.  When you visit the Reclamations office, the secretary there will direct you to the appropriate office to speak to another representative with regards to my offer.

--L. Hext

He chokes on words that won’t come out--it’s worse than some misguided soul finding him for altruistic reasons.  Duty has found him, and doubly so.  Advisor.  Elections.  He wants no part of this, because he is no longer a man, and has merely been deluding himself this past year.  He doesn’t want to contemplate what will happen if someone pushes the right button just so while he’s in Ala Mhigo proper.

But he must.  The manor, at least.  He must.

Merrick carefully folds the letters back together and tucks them away somewhere safe.  Then he leans back against the wall and slumps to the dusty floor again, drawing up his knees and leaning his elbows against them to press the heels of his palms against his eyes.  A dull ache is forming there, one he knows will last, but for once has little to do with his magic.

Avoid Plant Sunburn and Summer Garden Disasters

Plant sunburn, floods, heat and hailstorms. Planning now protects your garden from disaster later.

When you started your first garden, did anyone tell you that Mother Nature might rake her nasty claws through your chard and hurl your cabbages through chain link? Probably not. Tutorials and advice draw a rosy picture of peppers sitting beneath a gentle, smiling sun, not a rabid heat-monster that shrivels pumpkins and flicks tomato blossoms off before they can set.

No, you usually find that out right when you’re running out with a bucket, attempting to catch hail before it can puncture through leaves. Summer weather is unpredictable and extreme. From plant sunburn, torrid heat, windstorms and flash floods, it can wreak havoc with your vegetables.

What can you do to save your crops?

Heat and Plant Sunburn

By this time, it’s probably too late to choose drought-tolerant plants or amend your soil with organic material so it retains more moisture and helps plants recover from stress. Yeah…that would have been nice right around March. Now your tomatoes are permanently in the ground and probably several feet high. Assuming summer is the best time for gardening, you sit back and wait for ripe, round fruit. But it never comes. And you go outside and check the blossoms to discover that they break off at the joint, falling to the ground, when they should be pollinating and producing groceries.

The hard truth is that most plants do not like the summer heat. Even “warm weather” crops wilt or refuse to set fruit above 95°F.

It’s not too late to mitigate heat and plant sunburn.

First of all, consider the term “full sun.” If you spend enough time in a desert climate, such as where I live, it’s easy to assume that “full sun” means a day of the same sunlight that lets you fry eggs on rooftops. “Full sun” is actually six hours. And it’s usually sunlight within a climate that regularly sees clouds. If you live in high elevations and don’t have regular cloud cover, you may need to avoid plant sunburn by providing shade.

Plant sunburn kills patches on leaves, trunks and fruit, and can be identified by a white area on the most exposed area of the plant. That area will die. If the scald is small enough, the rest of the plant will recover but the scald will not heal. The best way to protect against plant sunburn is to harden plants off before setting them out permanently. Crops grown within a greenhouse have never experienced the full, brutal wrath of pure sunlight. Introduce them gently. Set out for an hour the first day, two hours the second, increasing until they can spend all day outside. If you prune crops such as tomatoes, don’t expose areas that have previously been shaded. Beautiful fruit, sheltered by a wide leaf, turns rough and ugly from plant sunburn.

It’s important to use water wisely around the garden, no matter where you live. Photo by Shelley DeDauw.

The second-best way to avoid plant sunburn is with shade. Remember how I said “full sun” was six hours in an area that has clouds? Filtering out harsh sun does wonders for garden health. Expensive tarps promise to reduce UV damage by 60 percent. Commercial shade cloth allows 80 percent of light to shine through. And threadbare white sheets, purchased at garage sales, can provide the same protection for much less money. Even planting your tomatoes where a tree shades them from noon to 3 p.m. helps. Use garden hoops for smaller crops or clip shade cloth to tomato cages.

Mitigate heat down below as well. A light-colored mulch such as straw retains moisture in the soil as well as reflecting the sun in the same way that white clothing is cooler than a dark sweater.

Drought

Some states are still recovering from one of the worst droughts in history, settling hard on a large agricultural area. Others live in a constant state of drought.

Before dry weather hits, avoid problems by choosing plants that are hardier, use less water, have tougher foliage, and can go without moisture a little longer before sacrificing quality. Amend soil as well. The sweet soil balance is “loam,” a balanced percentage of sand, silt and clay. If you don’t have loam, add compost, aged manure, and other plant-based material. A high percentage of organic material holds more water. It also feeds more nutrients to plants, allowing them to withstand stress. Poorly nourished vegetables are among the first to succumb to Mother Nature’s wrath.

Mulch is a gardener’s most important tool against long, dry spells. It shields dirt from sun, which may kill microbes, wind which may strip away topsoil, and allows plant roots to stay cool. Mulch also holds moisture in the ground, reducing the amount of watering needed. It regulates moisture so the best fruit can develop. Do not leave soil bare to the elements.

Water wisely during drought, using driplines if possible. Soaker hoses, pointed downward, are another good option. Combine drip irrigation with mulch to keep each drop where it belongs. Water at night or in the morning, when water is least likely to evaporate before it can sink in. Areas that experience powdery mildew benefit from morning watering so moisture does not remain on leaves for long periods of time.

Water, Water Everywhere

Last summer, I experienced stale chips for the first time while visiting coastal California. I live in a climate where corn chips sit for three months in an open bowl and are just as crisp as day one. It also rains so rarely that new gardeners call me in panic, asking, “It’s raining! Do I need to cover my plants?”

Relax. Rain is a good thing. Usually.

Wetter states experience frequent rainfall and have soil ready to handle it. Flash flooding is more of a Western desert thing, and facts about floods prove it can be devastating.

Most plants can handle rainfall as long as it doesn’t contain hail or isn’t driven by hurricane-force winds. Leaves may bow down from the moisture but they rarely receive more than a few rips. It’s the soil that suffers. If dirt is heavy with clay, water doesn’t sink in. It runs off, taking topsoil with it, or sits around roots to drown the plants.

Construct your garden with drainage. Digging trenches between rows allows excess moisture to roll off and collect away from the roots. Dig in a bit of a slope so flooding runs downhill and out of the garden bed. By the time those trenches fill with water, your plants have had more than enough anyway.

If you haven’t thought that far ahead and you watch in panic as water pools beneath your pumpkins, don a raincoat and arm yourself with a shovel or hoe. Scrape trenches into the soil, drawing a path from the pond to the edges of your garden. The same emergency technique can be used in chicken runs or animal stalls to divert water elsewhere.

And speaking of flooding: If you’re experiencing a level of natural disaster, and your garden sits in water washed in from who-knows-where, do not eat the produce. Food pulled from flood waters may be covered in harmful bacteria. Don’t cook them, can them, or even compost them. Disinfect any boots or gloves you used while working in a flooded area.

Hail

Foresight can save your garden when the angels hurl ice cubes from the heavens.

Though pea-sized pellets won’t do worse than puncture leaves during a short storm, prolonged exposure strips foliage and breaks branches. The larger hail gets, the more damaging it is. And the time to think about preventing damage isn’t when golf balls fall from the sky.

Protection is simple: cover your plants. It doesn’t have to be fancy. Overhead structures such as trellises or pergolas either block the hail altogether or slow its descent. Ice bounces from the surfaces and rolls to the ground. Previously constructed grow tunnels can stop hail as well as harsh sunlight, though the pellets may puncture thinner fabrics.

Keep a stash of emergency covers in a shed: Old five-gallon buckets, empty planters, or milk jugs with the tops cut off. If the hail isn’t dangerous to you, run out with a hat on. Upturn containers over the plants and let them stay on until the storm is over.

If the hail has damaged your plants, do not remove leaves that are only a little punctured and torn. As with plant sunburn, may be ugly but they can still photosynthesize for the plant. Remove broken stems and branches, sterilizing pruners before and between cuts so disease doesn’t spread to an already-stressed plant.

Ragged greens and herbs can still be used if harvested before bacteria can sit in the leaves’ wounds. Dice greens then boil them into soups. Dehydrate herbs or use them fresh to make a garlic oil recipe.

Shade cloth can help prevent plants from getting sun scald or hail damage, as well as helping decrease vaporation. Photos by Shelley DeDauw.

High Winds

Back east, hail is often a precursor to a tornado. This changes the rules when you think about protecting plants because objects like pots and buckets can fly around in harsh winds, doing more damage than the wind itself.

A little wind is good. It’s what pollinates corn. But too much can plow through a small homestead and leave swaths of destruction. If your area is prone to high winds, you probably already know it. And if you just moved in, ask local gardeners if you need to worry about dangerous gusts. Whether they’re tornadoes, hurricanes, or seasonal gales, they can shred leaves and blow cornstalks to the ground.

Before the storms can hit, construct windbreaks such as hedges on the outskirts of gardens. Or plant crops beside buildings or walls. Stake tall plants such as tomatoes at least a foot into the ground. Anchor slender fruit trees with guywires or poles. Keep your garden tidy, stashing loose items in sheds, so they don’t become wrecking balls hurled by the wind’s cruel hand.

Watch the weather reports. As the warm air mixes with cold and the gusts build, run outside and harvest all the fruits and vegetables you can. Tomatoes and peppers with just a hint of color will still ripen indoors. Then hold on and hope for the best.

You can’t choose whether tornadoes or hurricanes devastate your crops. And if they do, salvage what you can. Rinse plants and soil with clean water if you live near coastal areas; they may have salt left from seawater that blew in. Dig out the soil to drain any standing water. Compost debris if it has not come in contact with flooding.

Recovering From Disaster

The rain and hail stopped, the wind cleared, and the water drained. Now the sun shines relentlessly once again. Take a deep breath and don your gloves. You have work to do.

Don’t leave debris lying around the garden. Trim away broken stems and branches with sterilized shears. Right now you need to help surviving plants recover, which means avoiding disease from dirty tools. Don’t cut off leaves that are minimally damaged by hail or plant sunburn because the plant needs these to build strength and produce more foliage. Unless you need to wash away salt or contamination, let the soil dry before watering again.

If you survived a natural disaster, your dirt may not have. Erosion can wash away fertile topsoil. Replace both nutrients and lost topsoil with compost and a prepared soil mixture. Depending on the damage and the time of year, you may need to replant. And if it’s already late in the summer, you can still get a fall crop in.

Whenever Mother Nature cackles and rubs her hands together, preparing to play ping-pong with your eggplant, you’re going to fret and worry no matter what. But if you know how to survive weather disasters within your garden, you can minimize damage and often come out with a full harvest.

Have you dealt with disasters like floods, storms, or plant sunburn? Sharing what you learned can help other gardeners.
