Okay okay BUT Aabria as the voice of the Wildmother in the Mighty Nein Animated series.
Okay thanks.
All of the above points. I love when I see a post about the musicality of a piece. Much appreciated for putting into words what some of us can't!
Now that the live stream has concluded 45 minutes ago, and The Wisdom Saga is now live on Spotify, I spent some of my time to listen to the songs again (without headphones, I know I might've missed a few hints on the instruments and arrangements.)
So for now, here's my notes for this Saga (musically and story wise):
Legendary
The youthful touch of this song is just what this saga needs. MICO as Telemachus was a wonderful choice. His voice bounces within the song, and he sounds similar to Jorge's so it's like... He is his dad's son.
Story wise? It laid down a clear picture of what's happened 7 years later. His need to be stronger to protect his mother safe, especially that Ody's away.
It sounds like it's wishful thinking in a song.
Little Wolf
Oh my god, my anger in this song. I was scowling the whole time. Jorge is so good at painting a picture in the song. The taunting in the song, the way they challenge Telemachus.
I love how this songs sounds like a video game soundtrack, like Tekken (and the way the animatic looked like Tekken). Athena's entrance? Amazing. Telemachus being a geeky kid? AMAZING! He's such a kid, I love it!
I love Athena so much!!!
We'll Be Fine
Teagen's voice? Angelic! I thought her very best song was My Goodbye, but she really topped it with this one. I loved how she and Telemachus' sang Odysseus' melody in Warrior of The Mind. It's a wonderful touch that shows they're both longing for the same person.
The way MICO sounds so youthful??? He sounds so geeky and a teenager who's so excited about something. It's adorable!
Ody and Telemachus really see Athena as a friend. It's so touching.
Love In Paradise
This is the song I'VE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR (along with God Games). One thing I love: the flashbacks. Jorge really did a great job with the placement and tied every saga perfectly. I literally had chills when she finally saw what happened in Thunder Bringer.
Calypso. Calypso, my darling. Her voice is just so pure, so summery. She gave me summer vibes, seriously. It's kinda reminds me of TWICE's Alcohol Free, for real. Oh my god.
We've heard clips of this song before, and now that they recorded this song again, they sound so mature and clear. Oh god, I love this song so much!
Odysseus really be losing his mind. He was really losing it. Athena is the only one who can save her, and the way he screamed Athena's name. Oh my god, it broke me so hard!!
God Games
Luke Holt's voice... That's it. He sounds so big and scary. I love how his voice digs deep, the growls, it's even better than Thunder Bringer.
I was so excited about Apollo's voice. I did imagine him to sound a little cute, kinda like Yuuji in the English dub lol! So adorable! The little harp melody!! Uggh!!
HEPHAESTUS!!! okay, okay, the way he sang "Trust is not given not forged" was in the tune of Scylla and Mutiny ("I will not let you get into my way"), and it's UGGHH because that's the part where TRUST was tested. Oh my god JORGE!!!!
Aphrodite and Ares, my little sweethearts! Ngl, the animatic between Aphro and Athena was... Ughhhh!! I love Ares, I'VE ALWAYS LOVED ARES! Their voices fit them so well!! Athena fighting back to Ares for badmouthing Telemachus??? Holy shit.
Hera is so groovy!!!! So so groovy!!! I can imagine her throne room as a little dance floor!! And Zeus!!! Oh my god, Luke Holt!!! LUKE HOLT!!! PLEASE!!! STOP I'M OBSESSED!!!!
And Athena, oh my god. I wanna hug her. Her voice when she sang "let him go, please." Oh God, it's hurting me so bad. The animatic really didn't help because I was bawling!!!!
In conclusion, Jorge you smart and amazing person! You are creating a masterpiece!!!! This will be so big on stage, I can't wait till that happens!!!!
Also I love that when the stream got banned the whole chat was spamming
CAPTAIN???
Captain!!!!
Captain??!!!!
CAPTAIN!!!
Real observations since I started wearing a wizard hat daily:
- Brim is so wide that I stay BONE DRY taking walks in the rain
- Brim can be positioned to block the sun from ever getting in my eyes AND keeping it off the back of my neck
- The pointed top part creates an air pocket, keeping my head from getting hot or squishing my hair as it might in a ball cap
- Hat can easily be pulled down over the tips of my ears without looking dumb, protecting them from wind chill
- Strangers say they like my hat, giving me the chance to tell them that I am a wizard
- When you’re wearing a wizard hat, ALL OTHER FASHION CHOICES become secondary, allowing you to branch out with style
Embrace ego death. Stay protected from all elements. Wear a wizard hat.
Unsolicited thoughts. Keep what you like. Disregard what you like. Scroll by as it suits, lol. Freewill is good like that.
Situational awareness matters.
McDonald's is a real estate company.
Google is an advertising agency.
Meta/BookFace is a data mining company.
Disney is a political machine.
We are collateral before citizens.
We are products before customers.
Media & reality TV are Roman circuses.
The govt & Fed is serving Roman bread.
The Central banks are a cabal.
WW3 is actually WW4 and started long ago. Pray for the non-power players in all theatres that are having their days and nights ripped apart in ways we cannot fully understand. The fifth columns will be what impacts the proletariat the most IMO, for good or bad, on every front.
1984 and T2 apparently should have been studied and reflected upon more.
Still believe in hope and humanity.
Chase the day. Walk by faith, even when it's the size of a mustard seed.
Sort your priorities. Resort as needed. Declutter things around you to declutter your mind.
Protect your clan. Help it thrive. Accomplishing that does not always have to come at the expense of others.
Be generous IRL when you can. It's better than throwing money, etc at things you're not around in your regular life.
Pray for people you care about. Pray for people you're peeved at. This is a winning strategy.
Unproductive emotions cost too much. Let it out and make decisions to do something you actually can accomplish. Stewing in a funk doesn't do much.
Get off your phones more. Touch grass.
Talk to people IRL more about things so you're aware and can digest things and form your own views and opinions and priorities.
Listen to things you agree with and don't agree with and form your own thoughts. Be okay changing your mind.
Find ways to keep whatever is roaring at you at white noise levels.
Make time to enjoy the silly fun IRL.
Don't let the Internet of Things rile you so far you find unreasonable fault in decent humans in your life that might not be clones of your current priorities and views of the world.
Inappropriate laughter is a valid cope.
Good hearted fun laughter is a necessary emotion. It's not the same when it happens online vs IRL.
Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.
The Buff is forever.
Stay classy.
Have the grooviest day possible always wherever the day takes you.
Batman being aggressively secretive towards the Justice League is one of my favorite tropes, but it gets INFINITELY funnier when you take the younger generations of heroes into consideration.
Barry Allen? He doesn't know shit about Batman, still partially convinced he's not human, still a little bit scared to talk to him. But Wally West? That's Nightwing's best friend. He's been around Dick since both of them were kids. He's had sleepovers at the manor since he was thirteen.
I just think it would be hilarious if all of the younger generations 100% know that Batman is Bruce Wayne. They've slept at the manor, some of them have taken various Batkids to school dances, they've been offered Alfred's cooking. And all because they've gotten close to at least one Batkid and said Batkid wore Bruce down until he let them reveal their identity. But all of them manage to keep this information from their mentors. Either purposefully or completely on accident.
Then you end up with a situation where the younger generations grow up and join the League and the older members Very Quickly realize that they seem a lot more comfortable with Batman than they should be.
So, I’ve been seeing a few different posts recently about the new cards that show Gideon’s death, but I haven’t seen anyone pointing this out yet, so I thought I would.
Gideon’s big feature, the gimmick that sets him apart from pretty much every other Planeswalker, is that he can become indestructible. Every card of him has the feature that allows him to become some kind of indestructible soldier creature for a turn, even his Origins card pre-Spark Ignition. No matter where he is, Gideon is always standing on the frontlines, standing in the way of trouble yet never taking any damage himself.
It’s his greatest blessing…but also his greatest curse, as it was because of his indestructibility that he became the lone survivor of the Irregulars.
So, it’s really poetic then, that Gideon’s death by him taking the damage that someone else should’ve. Gideon didn’t step in the way of some spell or attack for one of his friends and throw up his shields–he took on their burden, their curse, and let it take his life instead of theirs when they broke it.
Gideon Jura, the Planeswalker, was born by surviving an attack his friends couldn’t.
Kytheon Iora, the Irregular, was killed by taking the burden too heavy for another.
Oath of the Gatewatch (2016)
Gideon "Would wish you a good night's sleep with a kiss on the forehead" Jura and Liliana "would be passive aggressive about demanding a kiss on the forehead before going to sleep" Vess
The idea of the magic card "Swords to plowshares" is essentially that target creature rejects the way of the sword and becomes a farmer instead, hence you lose them as a combatant but gain the health from their farming.
This is really fuckin funny in conjunction with a lot of potential targets for that card. Can you just imagine you're an average farmer in an MTG plane, have a normal-ass day, and all of a sudden you look to the east, and stretching up past the clouds you see Ulamog, the despoiler, one of the infamous eldrazi titans, a creature that corrupts all that is good by its mere presence. And all the enormous bastard is doing is using their massive fuckin tendrils to plow the land and plant potatos, and tend to their flocks of eldrazi spawn, and then it turns its eyeless head thats the size of several cities at you and tips its wide brimmed straw hat at you and continues going about its work.
I need everyone who’s new to Critical Role/TLOVM to know this is Taliesin Jaffe (the voice of Percy) at his senior prom.
Akiza: I'm so happy, I could kiss you!
Yusei: Um...Neat.
*later*
Yusei, struggling to fix his Duel Runner: I said "Neat," Jack. Who the f*** says neat these days? It's not neat to say neat but I said it anyways because I'm f***ing stupid.
Jack, drinking a cup of coffee: Don't beat yourself up too much, Yusei. Everyone gets nervous sometimes. Remember what I did when Carly confessed her love for me?
Yusei: Didn't you thank her?
Jack: *harshly puts down his cup and looks at the ceiling* I f***ing thanked her.
Honestly, big fan of how fucking Weird™ Neuvillette is
He can't do small talk for shit, his idea of a pastime is standing soaking wet in the rain with no umbrella, he'll infodump cool water facts at you given half the opportunity. He's the adoptive father of several dozen(?) immortal kids. He's a lawyer. He's inexplicably talented at making pottery.
He's somehow simultaneously the coolest and the lamest person in Fontaine
I think I will never recover from this book
The new Litjoy Heartless art ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yugioh went "gardeners are actually inherently a little Fucked Up In The Head and Crave Violence." and they were so real for that.
one with the wind 🍁
My favorite thing:
When Yusaku plays a card too quickly and Ai has to scrunch back into the duel disk to avoid getting smacked.
Look at him.
LOOK UPON THIS WRETCHED CREATURE
I will never get over the unparalleled comedy of robot characters learning How To Human from autistic characters.
