Ritual Fade - Paraïba (Indie Rock)

🕑 1 min / Text: Adrian Release Date: Mar 11, 2024 There's probably nothing better than experimental sounds coming together with sophisticated synth work, creating a unique and very trippy soundscape. The talented American artist Pauline Laciste, aka Ritual Fade, has just dropped a new album titled 'Vibrations Of Chance', and "Paraïba" is the opening track I'd love to share with you today. I'm absolutely loving the washed-out and hazy vocals, adding a little darkness to the music. There's also something very captivating about the resonance filter riffs that remind me of some classic Moog synths of the '70s. Just cool! Hope you dig it too: Stream: https://open.spotify.com/track/1tsWK7V8dMHfJKbzz2G5EK Follow: https://instagram.com/ritualfade/ ✔️ Available on our Indie Playlist on Spotify.

DAY 75: onehat

#codacheetah #isat #loop isat #siffrin isat #isat act 6 spoilers #twohat spoilers #isat spoilers #yea im tagging the onehat post twohat spoilers. watch me #..do we know what time of day it is when siffrin goes to the favor tree?#i always imagined the evening for some reason.#um so anyways. hey do you guys ever think about onehat. do you think about it #do you ever think about how siffrin never learning about loop and never getting closure with them #is just as valid of an ending as twohats. you dont have to get twohats. loop getting some catharsis isnt necessary to siffrin's narrative.#they asked to be here. they were here to help siffrin. and they did. and it ended #that's it.#i've always wondered if loop saw siffrin perform the ritual for them #i wonder if it would comfort them or not. if you ask them if they're a ghost they say yes (and no) after all #the tree is their grave.#something something from main character to stage director to sponsor to corpse #and with how arcane the prereqs for twohats are. yes you can get them naturally on a first playthrough but it's definitely not the majority #experience especially playing blind.#to give loop an ending you have to reach back in with both hands and grasp at that connection #i dont rlly know how to articulate it but it makes me feel a kind of way tbh. you only learn the prereqs (w/o guidance) by talking to loop #very frequently and paying attention to the hints they drop to you about the coin. labor of love situation #self love. siffrin reaching back for loop. We Are Getting Out Together Bitch #Is this anything i dont know that it is #idk onehat fascinates me a lot and im not even gonna touch on the onehats playthroughs where u actually do get the prereqs #i think there is a slight tendency among some fans tocharacterize loop as. more vindictive than they are? i guess?#it's easy to stare down loop's big twohats breakdown and see them bare their fangs and look into their anger #but loop's willingness to fade into nothing and leave siffrin alone shouldnt be forgotten i dont think

you'll see them again !

too many thoughts and things done with Intent to fully explain myself . partially bc this was supposed to be much much longer, but i think i would like to play more in the space of post-game loop.

#finallyw finished the game . i'm dunking them into the primordial soup ^.^#before i forget #isat spoilers #isat act 6 spoilers #anyways . i created a very specific analogy of how the universe and the big bang Works when i was 8 and i will never shut up about it #whatever space our universe inhabits Was like a completely still lake and the big bang was something disturbing the surface.#our universe expands and will eventually run out of energy like a ripple on that lake #regardless of how their world Actually works . i think that something like that would be a popular belief in sif's country #vague idea rolling around . loop fades or is like . Somewhere Between. siffrin's unintentional rituals keep them around #something triggers them to properly exist again (i promise there are themes here) and they wash up on the shore of vauguarde #they are especially malleable for a little bit . kind of going through craft metamorphosis . they are given a place to stay for a while #there is more but these tags are already ridiculously long . someone talk to me abt them before i go nuts #frogart #m

“men are always willing to believe two things about a woman: one, that she is weak, and two, that she finds him attractive.”

truly insane to have a character say this and then make them actually attracted to men in any capacity. btw.

#dragon age #morrigan dragon age #i know i’ve said this before #captain holt voice. and you’ll hear it again!!#like listen. i know it would change the implications of the ritual. but clearly they’ve already considered #that you can have sex with people you’re not attracted to bc she can sleep with an unromanced warden or alistair or loghain #yknow it just ties into the whole. my mother raised me to be a certain type of way but that’s not me #i really like her friendship w a female warden and feel like it’s a good romance on-ramp but it would also be thematically interesting #if she were asexual #but i know 1) leliana was originally supposed to be a lesbian and that didn’t fly #and 2) if it was on their radar even a little bit. they would have avoided it bc of Problematic Implications #ie discourse about corrective rape. even though she’s the one who initiates it and makes it very clear. if she’s not in a romance with #that character. that it’s just doing a job that needs to be done and there is no emotional attachment there #i also think. perhaps. they could have done something different for the ritual ESPECIALLY if they’re going to call it that #like obviously it’s a fade to black scenario but persistently calling it a ritual makes me think there’s something Else that happens too #maybe lean into that #anyway i’m just saying there’s workarounds for these excuses i made up lmao #mine #morrigan

Solas: doesn't tell his friends anyone about his plans

Also Solas: why did you ruin my perfectly good plan!?

#idk man i find it so funny he's all mad cause rook interrupted his ritual #despite not telling ANYONE what it was meant for #can you imagine if he'd given a heads up to inky #this fade egg i love his prideful ass so much #rolo rambles #dragon age

tag the oc that's most likely to get stuck in a time loop and what kind of time loop it would be

#I feel like Kyana has time loop potential but idk what the exact loop would be #maybe the loop is the entirety of DAO and she keeps getting companions killed/locked into their Bad Endings #and the loop only stops when she manages to get them all to survive the Blight #something something she needs to learn to be a good leader and care about others #unsuccessful loops reset via the archdemon killing her (even if the dark ritual was performed)#Selene gets the classic 'your love interest keeps dying and you try to stop it' time loop #to escape the loop she must Let It Happen (and then it turns out it's fine and everyone survives)#Secret gives me the vibe of someone who knows they're in a time loop but has given up on trying to solve it #she's just going through it. trying everything. keeping herself entertained. trying to stay sane #sometimes she clues Varric in on the looping. sometimes she doesn't #actually maybe her time loop rule is that someone else has to save her from it. nothing she does by herself will work #idk what the exact reset point would be #I'm thinking the Arishok fight maybe. or Meredith #I don't think it would go as far as the Fade #also. after writing Homecoming I did have the thought of a time loop story #with Dorian as the one being trapped and trying to prevent Neil from dying/becoming possessed #maybe in his case he's not really trapped. he can stop anytime he wants but he keeps choosing to go back #the reset point is something Solas-related maybe #herearedragons meta #oc: kyana amell #oc: watcher selene #oc: secret hawke #oc: neilar lavellan #oh. actually. Aqun would be pretty fun to put in a time loop #that runs over some part of DAI and/or Trespasser #Adina is his time loop buddy (the person he usually tells about the loop because she immediately believes him)#idk what his reset/escape condition would be though #maybe in his case it's something purely mechanical #like there's no lesson to be learned it's just a magical anomaly he's trapped on #and on a meta level the 'lesson' is accepting that not everything has a Purpose or a Reason

It's been 10 years since the last game in the series, it isn't unreasonable to be planning for this game to be a soft reboot of the series. But they needed to be straight up about that from the beginning instead of trying to play it off like they have been. Keeping the NDA on the inquisition import specifically and the way they spoke about it in interviews were absolutely terrible choices. Bioware needed to be managing expectations and making this choice very clear from the beginning and they absolutely did not do that. I'm not sure the intensity of the response here can really be called surprising given how poorly they handled this. The "oh these other decisions could come back in a later game" thing also feels pretty ridiculous. They need to quit that shit and just be honest about their plans to reboot the series. Finally, bioware has to stop trying to have it both ways. They can't soft reboot the series and then also bring back characters from earlier installments. Either our decisions, especially our decisions that affect those characters, are relevant or they are not. Either those characters can be changed by past events, or they can't and there's no point in giving them diverging in game paths. They've gotta decide which one they want.

#Dav chatter #Sorry but not having an option about the dark ritual is ridiculous when the existence of Kieran changes Morrigan's personality so much #Hawke is varric's best bud so surely he should act a little differently if his best bud is missing presumed dead in the fade right?#Your inquisitor's approval level with Solas should affect how they both speak of the other #So either that stuff doesn't matter at all - those relationships are completely unimportant #Or the decision matters and there needs to be some way to track it #Some character are just too tied to past events to bring back without checking what the hell those events were #Bioware mishandled this so so so badly #I also think they underestimated the number of fans who really truly love the small callbacks and references #Or maybe it's more accurate to say fans who play for the love of the world and its intricacies and continuation #To the point where they feel a game without them is no longer part of the series #Or perhaps they didn't realize that they ran out of goodwill a few years back and they're not getting that benefit of the doubt any longer #I don't know

Now that we have those lil veilguard backstory things based on the faction you pick from the character creator and we've seen more of the gameplay... do y'all have any plans for your first rook already? what class/faction/race are y'all thinking? do you already have thoughts about their personality or backstory?

For my first playthrough I'm leaning towards an elven rogue antivan crow right now I think but it's really hard to pick

#i wanted to make a rogue for veilguard cause it's the only class i haven't done yet for my protagonists #and rogue looks really fun from a gameplay perspective too so i think that's what i'm doing #but mage is also calling for me yet again lmao #also i think the antivan crow backstory is like a little bit of a funny half-fail #which lines up with destroying solas ritual and accidentally unleashing ALL THAT lol #i just wanna play a girl failure who is a bit hot-headed but has good intentions #someone who would remind varric of hawke when they met (who i left in the fade) ;_;#i spend 99% of my waking time thinking about veilguard pls talk veilguard with me tell me about your thouuuughts #da:tv

New Music: Ritual Fade - Vibrations of Chance LP

Tap in with Redlands, CA musician and composer Ritual Fade. I got familiar with her music a couple of years ago and it’s definitely a vibe! Her new album, Vibrations of Chance, just dropped today and includes 10 tracks described as “dark and shimmering synths, heavy beats, and haunting vocal melodies.”

The project is all self produced and features RF on the vocals. I’ve yet to catch her live but hopefully soon. Maybe at Coachella if she ends up playing with my fam Beat Cinema at the campgrounds!

so I've been trying to figure out where the line is between the average mage and a Dreamer cause like. Clearly there's some degree of difference between the average mage and someone like Solas or Feynriel but there's also a bunch of overlap that seems to differ from game to game, which makes it a little twisty. Nanna, for example, learns in both her Origin from Mouse+a sloth demon and from the souls trapped in Broken Circle (also by a sloth demon) in the canon of the game, that a person can change their shape in the Fade if they let go of their self perception, but it's considered extremely difficult to do without losing yourself in the process. But that doesn't neccesarily have direct affect to the Fade around them so much as it affects how the Fade is able to interact with your person. So I'm thinking, Dreamers have more overt control of the Fade, but the average mage has more control over themselves if they figure out that control? idk. workshopping it.

#tbd #there's a ton of overlap that feels like. idk. the line feels blurry. and maybe that's intentional #the wiki i consulted also implies that mages cant explore the fade without lyrium which?? we know thats not true #but we also dont seem to know too many specifics otherwise???#Ive always assume the lyrium rituals like the Harrowing/Connor were necessary to go to specific locked points in the Fade #whereas dreaming kind of spawn drops you somewhere random

Will veilguard be the dragon age game I finally pick the romance that won’t leave me emotionally scarred? who knows, certainly not me.

#dragon age #picked Alistair as an elf first time around #very nearly got my ass dumped because of it #and now he’s in a world state where he may get left in the fade (I refuse to play it)#then played a mage and romanced him again and on both did the dark ritual so they are a bit strained #romanced fenris as a mage next #then romances solas - enough said #who will cause me heart problems next

Sorry to report that the server breached the Fade yesterday. Started a Blight, yeah.
