i'm a day late, but to mark the occasion of AM turning ten i recorded a little acoustic cover of one of my fave songs off the album ♥️

i only recently started playing again (and learned to play this song yesterday) so it's definitely somewhat rough around the edges, but i figured i'd share it anyway just as a little tribute to my all time favourite band and the record's birthday? idk, happy birthday AM <3 🎂

#debated about whether or not i should post this #it's not very good #and it might be too cringe #but eh who cares i guess #i tried to be truthful to the brilliant original while also giving it my own spin but sorry if i butchered it lol #also when will i start getting better at playing the guitar? #alas the answer is probably never #ah well i tried #artic monkeys #alex turner #AM #no. 1 party anthem #arctic monkeys cover #acoustic cover #minnie talks #minnie sings #i guess

i know everyone wants the legendary stalker to be cool but i'm obsessed with the fact that besides being like, badass or whatever, the only things we know about her is that she a) liked fancy wine, and b) was rude to a kid. PLEASE if we ever see her let her be the most competent stalker of all time AND a disaster as a person. just unpleasant vibes all around.

#yeah maybe carlo was being pushy but her URGHHHH gemini get these annoying brats out of here was. a bit much. and also kind of funny. #i say all of this fondly. i want her to be terrible because i think its more fun. #lies of p #'she wasnt a bastard nor a sweeper' in my heart its bc both bastards and sweepers found her insufferable ♥️ cringe fail woman of all time #people only talk abt her accomplishments bc if you ask anyone who knew her about her as a person you'd get a very awkward 'ummmmm' #i'm ready to be disappointed if we do get more on her but until then. this is my truth

Things that aren't funny be real funny when you can't laugh

i saw someone post about how aloth doesn't actually love a romanced watcher and it upset me to the point i don't really enjoy their romance anymore. i know that's so silly but he was a comfort character and it was just an opinion but yeah. can you explain that he actually does, to try and get me out of this funk? you seem to understand his character very well.

Oh wow, this is... quite the ask. Let me just say this right out of the gate: I don't know if I could tell you anything that would work better than replaying the games and reminding yourself why he was a comfort character to you in the first place. Also I haven't seen the post so I can't exactly refute what was said there but... yeah this is kind of a baffling take to have to me at least.

The thing about Aloth's romance is that it's treated not so much as a route but more like a potential end point for the Watcher/Aloth dynamic that started as early as pillars 1. So if you try to view their story from the vantage point of the romance alone then you might find it - and him lacking.

But anyway here is a long ramble about Aloth and the Watcher that kind of aims to recap/break down their relationship that also won't tell you anything new and low-key goes into cringe territory haha lol bye but okay here you go

Aloth, however, is far more complex character than to try and understand him from that perspective. He is a character who strives for perfection bc any flaw was punished severely and painfully. He is a character who prioritizes duty and devotion above all else bc that is how arcane knights are taught to think (this is a call to read Until He Started Screaming lmao). He is a character whose name belonged to the gods, his hand to their service, who sought the company of shadows so that his labors may remain secret and whose purpose you'll know by the confession of his tongue, the deeds of his hands, and the oath of his soul, bc that's what's expected of the members of the Leaden Key. And that doesn't even touch on the secrecy he had to upkeep for 50 years in order to hide his Awakening.

So it's safe to say that by the time you meet Aloth in Gilded Vale, he is not someone who thinks he can have anything for himself or someone who has the freedom to choose to live openly and for himself. And yet in pillars 1 at every turn, he'll choose the Watcher. He takes steps out of his comfort zone when he opens up about Iselmyr. He's ready to fight the Leaden Key to keep them (and Kana) safe. And even when he finally admits that he hoped the Watcher would cure him of his Awakening, he takes it upon himself to sort it out by himself instead. By the Watcher's side, Aloth develops his own sense of autonomy. You could even say that the Watcher was the light to lead him out of the shadows. But Aloth is also someone who recognizes the dangers of making one such person an anchor. He says so himself in deadfire when he talks about why he left (I mean aside from going to hunt the LK) at the end of pillars 1 - he couldn't allow the Watcher to become another authority figure to him like Thaos or his father was. He needed time away to figure out what life he wanted to have or what he wanted to do with the freedom he found with the Watcher.

But he still dedicates his life to the LK (although he hunts them now or at least he does in the route I prefer to take), he still lives an isolated and secretive life - until he meets the Watcher again. And then he chooses the Watcher again. And much of the deadfire dynamic between Aloth and the Watcher points to Aloth treating the Watcher as a role model and being blinded to their struggles by their own admiration for them. But like... that gets resolved at Ukaizo: the end of that arc is Aloth realizing the sheer magnitude of what is expected of the Watcher and he pities them for it. Sure, I personally would have liked it if that point was reached earlier, but it's a sensible character flaw to give him at this point, especially considering all that they've been through. And the romance itself is pretty low-key and short which makes sense after all that Aloth has been through. Bc just take note of how he reacts to the Watcher kissing him - he holds them as if he was worried he'd break them. That is not someone who wants to keep his distance bc he doesn't love their partner, but someone who really doesn't want to mess things up with them. And he warns the Watcher that he might not be 100% open with them, that he won't be able to give them 100% of their time. And you might think that he's unreasonable to treat simple boundaries as deal breakers, but remember that this was what was expected of him for the majority of his life. Duty and devotion. His name belonged to the gods, his hands to their service. A part of him expected a demand to give all of himself when he was still learning how to be his own man - and when he was still duty-bound to hunt (or lead) the LK. That is what he means when he says that he can't make a commitment he can't honor and that is why it is such a relief to him when the Watcher offers to take every day for what it is. He wants a relationship that is happy and healthy but he recognizes that while he has healed somewhat, he still has a long way to go, and he's worried he might not be able to make such a relationship happen - especially with the person who gave him a sense of belonging that his family never could *cough*wealthyaunt*cough*.

And even in the ending where he leaves, you get the sense that he's doing it out of - you guessed it - duty and devotion. Duty, well that's a given. Devotion... I mean what better way to show your love than fighting for the world that your beloved wants to create? And as for the ending where he stays... well... once again, he finds himself to do whatever he wants and he chooses to stay with the Watcher even as they become the one rebuild the world after Eothas kickstarted the apocalypse. So yeah, idk what else I could say, Anon, as far as I'm concerned, Aloth is filled to the brim with love for the Watcher, but he's also someone who is too self-aware and nervous to really wear that love on his sleeve, but you can be sure that it's there and it's unwavering.

#replies and whatnot #anonymous #yeah this got long and I honestly don't know how I could've possibly approached this #''aloth loves the watcher'' is such a fundamental truth in my experience (emphasis on ''my'') with these games #that I never thought to question why I got this sense #so I hope this helped somewhat and it didn't get too cringe lmao

So me and my friend were watching the dub for Ayakashi

And I'm usually the first person who would say "give the dubs a chance, I know they have a bad reputation but there are some pretty decent ones out there too"

Ayakashi Bakeneko is not one of them.

#mononoke #ayakashi bakeneko #mononoke kusuriuri #victor lee's work in mononoke? pretty good like i enjoy the energy he brings to the role #andrew francis brought bored fuckboi energy to the role somehow and that ain't it chief #that ain't it at all #also the shit they chose to translate literally versus leaving untranslated is SO ANNOYING #like there is no world where the taima sword is a katana there's just not #id say wakizashi if it's anything at all #or just stick with sword?? #and you have to choose between 'shape truth reason' or 'katachi makoto kotowari' you cant have both #(and really just stick with shape truth reason something about katachi makoto kotowari surrounded by english is just unbearably cringe) #(but if youre gonna go that route at least be consistent like shit) #and translating 'mononoke' as 'demonic spirit' is the kind of oversimplification that kinda undermines the themes associated with mononoke? #like it's an affliction of the soul that needs to be cured thats the whole damn point #this is not a good vs evil struggle and framing it like it is detracts from the message #anyway thats my rant for the day lol #dont watch the ayakashi dub #juuuuuuuuust stick to the sub

#art #traditional art #watercolour #embroidery thread #oc art #ocs #oc group: unsorted #oc: unnamed #i gotta name him. my guy whos secretly a school of fish pretending to be human #this was another study i made for class along with a few other doodles of this guy. then i got kinda roasted by my TAs lol #wasnt their fault i think they were just tired and stressed. plus theyre like the same age as me. i know what its like being 25 LOL #it did discourage me a lot in the moment because despite the everything about me thats probably apparent both through my blog and irl #i keep my art passions really REALLY closed off irl LOL so at the time i was like just barely stepping my toe out and showing my truth: #that all i do all day is draw dorky oc stuff HDKJSDS i did kinda immediately get called cringe in all but the actual word orz #it was a bummer but i think i feel better about it now. especially because again my TAs are the same age as me or younger than me #and im not gonna let a 25 year old calling me cringe get me in my head HKFSKJFDSd plus again i think they were just stressed and in a mood #because other times theyve been chill even when giving a harsh critiques so it mightve just been like. something in the air #but you know. isnt that a bit of a milestone in its own right. being called cringe in your fine arts class critique <3 #but i still like my funny guy from my dream. hes just a normal ass looking guy. who is made of fish :)

I feel like a lot of people meme on Evanescence for how melodramatic the lyrics to a lot of their songs are, but over ten years since I first heard their music and I still relate to a lot of the subject matter in their songs. Hell, for a lot of them I think I relate to them more now that I’m an adult than I did as a kid/teenager.

Maladaptive daydreaming, depression warping your sense of self, the toxicity of celebrity culture, stalkers, feeling burdened by expectations, learning to love yourself again after a dark period in your life. Imaginary in particular is the first song I remember really connecting with, taking in the lyrics and thinking “this song gets me.” End of the Dream, specifically the Synthesis version, is my favorite song period because it’s the closest thing Evanescence has to a “we’re so fucking back” song. Even the much memed upon Bring Me To Life is about realizing you’re in an abusive relationship and looking to others for help getting out.

All of these are strong themes to write a song about! I feel like a lot of people have the perception that the songwriting in Evanescence songs is all frilly gothic nonsense, being dark and somber just for the sake of it. They do have some songs like that (doesn’t mean they’re not bangers though), but most of their discography has a lot more depth to it than I think a lot of people give them credit for.
