Max Caulfield being called an "angel" as a result of using her ultimately apocalyptic time powers to save a life versus Rachel Amber being called an "angel" as a side effect of the pedestal she's on that can't prevent her from being murdered versus Daniel Diaz being called an "angel" as a tool of exploitation and abuse. is this anything.

The German Dick Grayson Playlist

You guys missed me and my yapping yet? Well, good and bad news, one: I have enough stuff to procrastinate on to work on this again and two: I have so much stuff to do??? It's horrible. But! The yap-train is choo choo-ing again. Enjoy!

You can find the playlist here. If you wish to read it somewhere else, check it out on ao3!

The masterlist <3

Major Tom (…völlig losgelöst) (“Major Tom” (Coming Home)) by Peter Schilling

Some of you might actually know this song! Originally published in German and later translated into English to reach a wider audience, the lyrics have seen some slight changes to fit better into the song. I highly recommend listening to the German version and you’ll get my commentary of course :D

I think this song nicely reflects his evolution from Robin into Nightwing over the years. Batman is relying on him, but over time he recognizes flaws in Batman’s actions, choosing to separate himself from him, choosing to travel and familiarize himself with the people he wanted to save and protect. He develops his own views on his works, his own priorities – he let’s go of his earth’s orbit: Completely detached, regardless of his work as Robin. Also, drifting through space is a nice metaphor for him floating through the night skies, through the circus tent, no?

Notable lyrics (please notice I took the liberty to literally translate some of the original German lyrics, as they illustrate my point much better than the lyrics of the English version): “But what is it all for?’ Thinks Major Tom”: “Back at control, panic breaks out / The course of the space capsule is all wrong / Hello, Major Tom, can you hear me? / Do you really want to destroy the project like that? / But he can’t hear”; “Completely detached from earth/ the spaceship floats / weightless”

Egoist (“Egoist”) by JEREMIAS

Staying on the topic of him doing his own thing, I want to bring this song into the conversation. Now, I am aware not all of this fits 100%, but there’s some lines I think fit on Dick really well.

I’ve always thought of him as a freedom loving person, someone that wants to stick to what he thinks is right. And sometimes, you have to be a bit of an egoist to be that. Is that bad? Maybe, maybe not. But it is the way it is.

Notable lyrics: “It hurts to go now / but it’d be worse / to stay”; “I like the new streets and the smell / the stranger voices and the stranger air”; “One half ghost / one half child / I think my role model / has always been the wind”; “If it’s about freedom, I’m an egoist”

Echt (“Real”) by Glasperlenspiel

Nightwing’s relationships have been… rocky, to say the least. From breakups to situations with dubious consent, I can’t help but get the feeling he finally craves something perfect – something real.

Notable lyrics: “I can’t quite believe it yet / but you’re standing right here in front of my eyes / I want that everything between us isn’t just the heat of the moment / I want that everything here is real(ly) / perfect”; “And I believe that it’s better / if I can feel it / for just this moment / all my doubts are gone / because it’s real”

Lasse redn (“Let them talk”) by Die Ärzte

A song perfectly capturing not only how much people will gossip about Dick Grayson and Nightwing, but also actually reflecting how rumours spread and that it’s sometimes better to just ignore it.

I can’t imagine that being adopted by Bruce Wayne has gone down without a bit of gossip. Dealing with it is something that you have to learn and that also applies to him. Thinking back once again to his rather eventful and very imperfect relationship and sex life… The lyrics hit closer than you might think at first.

Notable lyrics: “You don’t even really know their names / while they run their mouths about you”; “Let the people talk / Most people have nothing better to do / Let the people talk, day and night / Let the people talk, that’s what they have always been doing”; “Did you hear and say, did you know? / Hear: You make your money via prostitution / You apparently stand in front of the bus station / the colleague of a brother-in-law saw you there”; “As long as people talk, they do nothing worse / you can afford a bit of pretense / stay friendly and say nothing / that’s going to piss them off most”

Ich warte auf dich (“I wait for you“) by Bosse

Dick Grayson is many things: Trapeze artist, hero, friend. But most of all, he is a (imperfect) brother. Far from perfect, but throughout the comics we see him trying, we see him giving his best. He will wait for all of them, keep a light on for them, no matter how chaotic their previous experiences with each other were.

He wishes so much for his siblings to accept that, doesn’t he?

Notable lyrics: “We loved, we hated, we made up / … / like pitch misses sulfur”; “I wait for you / I wait for you / For you the light will always burn in my hallway”; “Sometimes I hope so much, that the doorbell rings / That you stand there with your suitcases / As if you only went on vacation”; “Please come back and make peace with me / ey, come back and live with me / let’s go back to sharing everything”

Nur noch kurz die Welt retten (“Just need to quickly save the world”) by Tim Bendzko

Dick is stubborn, hard working to the point of overworking himself, he’s responsible. There is so much he wants to do, should still to. His standards for himself are high and while this song might fit on Batman too, I think it fits him better. Just see for yourself.

Notable lyrics: “I just need to quickly save the world / After I’ll fly to you / Just need to check 148 mails / who knows what’ll happen after, so much happens”; “Out there, they need me / They underestimate the situation / Maybe our life depends on it”

Luftbahn (“Air Train”) by Deichkind

Originally a song about death/suicide, I think you can also interpret this song as an appreaciation of the feeling of weightlessness. I can imagine Nightwing swinging through the nights, feeling like this song.

Notable lyrics: “We ride by air train through the night / The moon only shines for us / Shortly, we'll have made it / And all the problems  / On earth / Lie in great distance to us”

Allein in Amsterdam (“Alone in Amsterdam“) by Blackmonk

Full of fresh hope, Nightwing takes off to Blüdhaven. But is it everything he ever wished for, alone in the new city?

Notable lyrics: “Never stopping is draining one quickly / And I know you see how I leave / I drift away from time, stop walking / Look around and I realise what’s missing / But I go / And now I’m alone in Amsterdam”

Fern (“Far away”) by Streichelt

Notable lyrics: “ Maybe one day we’ll look at each other / Only to notice we are missing memories / of what was, of what pushed us”, “You’re always here / but never there / Yeah, you’re so far away, so far away, so far away, so far away”, “No talk of peace / War is everywhere”, “Do you still hold me dear?”

Bitch (do I really need to translate this?) by Von Wegen Lisbeth

Will I ever not have more songs about Richard’s fights with Bruce? Probably not. Because this is yet another one of them.

A lot of stuff happens all the time and you can always try to distract yourself with them. But in the end, you sometimes happen to think of *them* again. That’s the song, bitch. (There is actually much more subtlety to the song, but you know. The essence.)

Notable lyrics: “And what else happened? / When I went into the kitchen / Three minutes before half past seven / I didn’t think of you”, “Bitch, for you / I ran the whole way / the whole way alone”

Bruttosozialprodukt (“Gross National Income“) by Geier Sturzflug

Nightwing is a work human. He works a lot, he works well, he works. And although his nightwork might not be directly contribute to the GNI, it definitely does indirectly.

Notable lyrics: “The nurse gets a real fright / Another sick person is gone / She amputated his last leg / And now he's kneeling in again”, “Yes, then spit on your hands again / We increase the gross national product / Yes, yes, yes, now it's time to spit on your hands again” (Note: to spit in ones hand is an idiom to symbolize going to work without hesitation and with some sort of enthusiasm. Possibly translatable with “to knuckle down” or “roll up ones sleeves”.)

Du bist schön (“You are beautiful”) by Alligatoah

Here I am, once again, removing a song from it’s actual context. Oh well.

Nightwing is ruthless, let’s be real. Especially as Robin. Let’s not kid ourselves. And the cheerful tone while insulting someone as dumb? Screams Dick Grayson.

If you are interested, the song’s pretty genius and is about the clothing industry! It’s making it hard to translate too. “Dafür kannst du nichts” can mean both “You can do nothing” or “It’s not your fault”. Alligatoah does a lot of stuff like that, his songs are pretty interesting, even though he recently started pursuing a bit of a new direction with his music.

Notable lyrics: “You are beautiful / but in return know nothing / Not reading or writing or anything else / You are beautiful / but in return know nothing / and it’s not even your fault”

Honorable Mention: Atemlos durch die Nacht (“Breathless through the night”) by Helene Fischer

Now. Schlager is the German country. You either like it or you don’t or you’re a normal person and recognize there’s gems in every genre even if you don’t like it. Anyway, someone commented this on the last playlist and honestly? They’re right. Thanks @levysaurier for the suggestion haha.

Wild nights, baby.

Notable lyrics: “Breathless through the night / Feel what love does to us / Breathless, free of lies / Great show for us two / Today we're everlasting, thousands of feelings of happiness”, “We are inseparable, in some way immortal / Come take my hand and go with me / Come on, we climb the highest roof in this world / Just hold what sticks us together, oho oho”

(Have I ever mentioned my grandfather is a die hard Helene Fischer fan? He exclusively listens to SWR4 (Schlager radio station) as well.)

Conclusion

I hope you enjoyed the playlist :D

Idea For Improving Life Is Strange 2 - Working On Making Karen Reynolds Less Unsympathetic

(And Tying Some Plot Threads Together As A Bonus)

Having taken looks at Life Is Strange 2, my overall impression is that it's a big case of sequelitis and a heavily flawed story. And one noticeable flaw comes in the attempt of the story to make the mother of the two main protagonists, the aforementioned Karen Reynolds look sympathetic with her reasoning for abandoning her children. Said reasoning having been "wanting to live life without regrets", which doesn't come off as sympathetic in the slightest, given how her definition of this is leaving her husband and two sons (and I say this as someone who's biological father was a massive pile of excrement in human form, given how he abused and/or deserted (the children he had with my mom were the former) those he brought into this world. However, there was an idea I had of changing her reason for being a missing mom and hopefully making her less unsympathetic (and hopefully interconnect the plot more). I must apologize beforehand, as this is gonna be a long one.

Instead of Karen being a deadbeat seeking to "enjoy their life" alike many a father in media, what if she happened to fall victim to a cult? Specifically, the same one run by Lisbeth that we see in Chapter 4 (which is where Karen first appears in the flesh). Namely, when she and Esteban were still married and Daniel was on the way, Karen became interested in a religious commune and was convinced by the eloquent Lisbeth to join. Now, believe it or not, atheists and the not-too-strongly religious have been converted by preachers of both the rational and cult-like nature, and unfortunately for Karen, Lisbeth was one of the cult flavour. Her parents, who knew that Karen was somewhat spiritualist but not all that religious, and Esteban quickly noticed this change. Unfortunately, it would be a while before noticing what flavour of Flavor-Aid she was drinking and by the time they figured it out, Karen was already within the cult's grasp. And soon she would try to forcibly have Sean baptized by Lisbeth and her buddies.

This plan would be caught upon by Esteban and it would leave him furious, especially since he now knew his pregnant wife was getting involved in a cult. Mr. & Mrs. Reynolds would also be angry at their daughter for this, cult or no cult. And that would be just one of the reasons for Esteban and Karen's divorce and estrangement from her parents. The other reason would tie into Daniel, specifically when she was carrying him in the womb.

Whilst pregnant with Daniel, Karen would listen to Lisbeth as to how to handle her pregnancy. Unfortunately, as we see with Jacob's baby sister how Lisbeth forbids those in the cult commune from getting outside medical assistance, this leads to the unborn Daniel's life being in danger. And unfortunately, Sean's baby' brother wouldn't be safe from this, as he too is kept away from doctors and medical professionals because of this deranged thinking. And despite her parents and Esteban telling her to listen to reason, her reasoning has her continue to listen to Lisbeth's warped reasoning. Even going so far as to think that her baby's survival depends on whether or not God deems him a sinner, with death befallen him if so.. Eventually, after a tougher than expected pregnancy because of this, Karen is hospitalized and then eventually gives birth to Daniel. Now here is where the final pillar collapses on Karen's relationship with her husband, kids and parents.

Little after escaping from the hospital,Karen would try to go to Lisbeth's commune with a baby Daniel in tow. Getting word of this, Esteban, Sean and the Reynolds would try one final time to plead some sense into Karen. Unfortunately, by the time they catch up to her, the cult has migrated and she along with them. Having fallen deep into the hole and drunk on the Flavor-Aid, Karen denounces and disowns them all: her parents, Esteban and even Sean, viewing them as sinners. This leads to the Reynolds disowning Karen as well, fully convinced their daughter is gone. Luckily, they are able to rescue baby Daniel from his mother.

That isn't the end of this, however. After a few years of living in the cult, her family still on her mind, Karen gradually feels regret and remorse. During this time period, she sees numerous other children fall ill because of Lisbeth's dogma, and unlike Sean and Daniel, these kids don't make it. Around the time Daniel is 5, Karen finally decides enough is enough and makes a break for it. She intends to go back to Esteban and her kids but first tries to talk to her parents. They, however, are still hurt over what she put Esteban, Sean and Daniel through and refuse to forgive or let her know how they are doing. And in turn, Karen feels she doesn't have the right to be back in their lives, with her even fearing Esteban has moved on.

Given how long this is, I think I'll continue this in another part. Hopefully, I'm not accidentally plagiarizing someone else's ideas. Also, I hope mine sounds logical even if filled with plenty of holes.

[chrisevansstitties]

I’m starting to realize why people who don’t like LiS 2 say the game is too political. There are so many choices that don’t matter all because it seems like the creators are trying to push a message. It honestly seems like player choice doesn’t matter, and especially if your going for a high morality play through. And player choice is the foundation of the game.

I usually play low morality/high brotherhood so the Sean and Daniel can stay together in Puerto Lobos, but I wouldn’t say it’s the best ending. It’s the best ending out of what we were given but it could’ve been a lot better. My original ending was Redemption. And that ending not only did it make me bawl it pissed me off.

Okay, so let’s say you go for the high morality ending. Let’s say you didn’t attack the Hank in the beginning of the game, you have an overall good relationship with Claire and Stephen helped out around the house and stuff, talked Chris and then his dad about his problem, you bond with everyone in Humbolt, and you don’t go through with the heist. You break out of out of the hospital in the most passive way (also remembering Sean is only breaking out because the police have no lead on where Daniel actually is; and he finds him.) Sean steals a car, yes, but with no forced entry; depends on the laws in that State what his charges will be for that. Next, you don’t set the church on fire and/or kill Lisbeth. The evidence against her wouldn’t be hard to convince a jury that she’s crazy and running a cult. You get the point by now.

It makes no sense for Sean to get fifthteen years. How would any of the evidence hold it in court anyway if the player made all the best decisions? How would they prove that Sean killed the cop? He wasn’t shot. There weren’t any signs of a fight between the cop. In the game it said that the police thought it was an explosion. Where’s the evidence? Where are the explosives? Why would they blow up their own front yard? There’s literally nothing against Sean and Daniel. If you play passive the only things that are brought up are things the player had no choice in and yet you still get punished. Sean shouldn’t have to spend almost half his life in jail.

And what’s the point with bonding with all those people and helping Jacob rescue his dying sister for seemly no one to speak up for Sean and Daniel in court? It’s ridiculous.

I’m starting to feel like there was an agenda based on the endings we get. And the wall was a huge indicator the the writers were trying to push a message rather then make an actual choice based game.
