Them Dirty Roses released a new single: "Candle In The Dark"

The band Them Dirty Roses has released a new song called "Candle In The Dark", which does a great job of showcasing the group's unique blend of Southern Rock and alternative music.

The band's diverse range of influences has helped to create a dynamic and distinctive tone that is both impactful and catchy. From huge Southern-style riffs to heavy blues tones and stomping grooves, anything goes! "Candle In The Dark" is a prime example of what this band is capable of. The song starts off with a filtered lo-fi tone and gradually builds up intensity, with the drums and guitar riff coming in before the band explodes into a heavy, headbanging part around 24 seconds in.

The verses give the track some breathing room, highlighting the thundering bass tones and gritty vocals that drive the song with an equal balance of melody and power. Allowing the electric guitars to take a step back during the verses is a fantastic songwriting and production device. It allows a song to gain more dynamics where it matters most (for example during the choruses) and enables some additional sonic variety. In other words, quieter verses with explosive choruses is a formula that always hits the mark, especially for this kind of music, and the band's skillful arrangement makes the song all the more enjoyable and exciting, creating a sense of constant motion and electricity.

The guitar riffs on the song are incredibly impactful. The tone is rich, monolithic, and solid, with each note hitting like a well-timed karate chop. The main sections of the guitar parts return in the chorus sections, creating an impressive and defining quality to the song, making it stand out from the rest. The overall arrangement of the music is enhanced by the powerful and hooky riffing, making it a memorable and enjoyable experience for anyone listening.

There is also room for a blazing guitar solo with a hard-blues flavor, kicking off at 2:22 and showcasing so much technical and melodic mastery. Later into the song, another guitar solo begins at about 3:24, offering even more of that hot sauce before the outro! Fans of like-minded bands like Shinedown, Stone Temple Pilots, Hinder, Saving Abel, and Audioslave will definitely enjoy "Candle In The Dark" by Them Dirty Roses.

Hey, gentle recognition for the people who are taking care of themselves in "not aesthetically-pleasing" ways. To the people who have to do things they don't want to because they know they would suffer more if they didn't, to the people who have to brush their teeth with their fingers, to the people who have to use washcloths to bathe, to the people who need to punch pillows or scream into them to express their intense emotions, to anybody ashamed about the way they need to live and take care of themselves.

You are doing the very best you can with the hand you've been dealt. It's not easy, it's not pretty, but it sure as fuck takes so much to do these things. You are doing what is best for yourself, and I, for one, think you deserve to be proud of that. Self-care isn't easy. It isn't pretty, often, but it's something you shouldn't be ashamed of or hide away because it's deemed "grotesque" or "not really self-care (because self-care is pretty and non-threatening to 'normal peoples' senses)"

Billie Piper fighting for her life, sitting next to Christopher Eccleston while he says that Russell T Davis, Julie Gardner and Phil Collinson would have to be sacked before he ever has a Doctor Who cameo, like the child of divorce that she is.

[cop - noel rose, trystan thorne] - i drew this in february and was gonna post it for valentines but idk. i liked the concept but i don't feel like i executed it very well, it just feels kinda meh. will probably redraw it one day.

[loa - zach westbrook, joaquin morales] - gave up on this one bc i couldn't get joaquin to look like joaquin and it made me sad

[dls - hyun lee, charles king] - idk

[... - cas harlow] - i saw a post a while ago that said artists could literally draw whatever they want and like. yeah. we really COULD draw anything we wanted. so i drew cas doing the rickroll. why? BECAUSE I CAN DRAW ANYTHING

---

i might do more art dumps in the future! i have a lot of stuff i don't finish/abandon so it might be nice to showcase them like this (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ

Giving context to things in Shadows of Rose that really needed context because I didn’t like them and they barely got context.

1) The Winter’s separating: it’s very much established they would not willingly separate. Mia loves Rose. There’s no way she’d willingly give up another family member after being widowed. Plus, Chris OF ALL PEOPLE should not want to separate the family. Literally the whole theme was about family. Hot take but there’s 3 of them.

2) Chris saying he would protect Rose and then asking her to join the squad: I refuse to believe Chris would go against his dying friend’s wishes. Putting someone in a fight isn’t protection

3) Rose barely knowing anything about Ethan: I mean…come on. That’s your dead husband and your dead friend who basically made you the godfather. There’s got to be a reason, right?

So…enjoy me fixing all of that by saying things Capcom loves to leave out

———

Mia raised Rose in the beginning when she was a kid, with the help of Chis. They were close. She was very paranoid about her safety and did everything she could to help Rose live a normal life considering they were under even stricter protection than before. Because of this and the fact that Rose would be too young to understand at the time, Mia and Chris were very selective about what was said. They told her things like “your father loved you” “he died protecting you” “he would’ve loved to be here”

The two of them wanted her so do to school because she needed socialization. Unfortunately she had a very hard time. Chris and Mia did their best to be supportive but it was a very tough situation for all of them.

Eventually when she got a little older the higher ups realized how much at risk the Winters were (and also for selfish reasons because Rose powerful. I mean…let us not forget Sherry ;-;), decided it would be best to separate the two to “protect” them. Be it by boarding school, training, etc. It’s kinda unclear but it happened.

Mia hated this. She couldn’t lose Rose but ultimately didn’t have any power over the situation. Chris hated it just as much also tried to prevent this but he too couldn’t change it.

Chis contact with Rose given his job and was the bridge between the two but as time went on things got more complicated and messy.

Eventually Chris got to a point where he wanted Rose by his side more often and to be the one in control instead of the higher ups. So he wanted Rose to join his squad so she could defend herself and not belong to some shitty government thing. At least this way it was easier…at least in Chris’s mind. To him it was protection. Was it the best idea? No, but to him it was.

After the DLC, they learn Ethan is still present in some sort of way. It motivates Chris to try fighting once more for the family to be together again.

Rose remembers everything she saw in the Megamycete’s recreation of her old house and how both of her parents loved her…and sees the mother on the bus reading a book to her kid.

Now both motivated to try again they’re successfully able to get visitation between Rose and Mia.

It starts off slow but eventually it happens more and more. It’s hard because it’s been so long, but they work to reconnect. Since Rose is older and has context, Mia (although very hesitant and needing some encouragement. Plus taking a few meetings for it to even happen) explains their family history to Rose piece by piece until the story is complete.

As for Rose joining the squad?

She joined because she knew her dad fought to help her family. She, like her father, is a kind person. She wants to help protect people and make sure they don’t suffer the same fate as her family. One more good soul to combat a corrupt world. She’s at an awkward age at a very emotional time. Her decisions might not be final but it’s giving it a try. She might stay or she might not. She might like it or she might hate it. Only time and experiences will decide that.

While things aren’t perfect, the Winters are at least together. Just like what Chris tried to do, and just like what Ethan wanted.

———

It’s not perfect, but I tried my best with what was available and worked within the confines of the story. I loved the DLC, but it does have flaws that annoy me. So I fixed it UwU.

I can accept that The Doctor loves River Song, but you cannot convince me that Rose Tyler isn't his soulmate. That's his person and his heart will ache for her across all universes and all of time, no matter what.

thought about my old house for more than two seconds and almost cried so i did the smart thing and looked at the pictures of it on rightmove to see how the new owners (they have lived there since 2015) have completely ruined it (they redecorated) to the point it's unrecognisable (got an extension) and im literally ugly sobbing about it. they let my mother's garden die

Love how the new PLL writers were like okay FINE fans were right to point out that A was never really a slasher villain and continuing to use that moniker for these new villains is a slap in the face to the original evil girlbosses-- Mona, Cece, and Ello Spensah-- who worked 👏 hard 👏 scheming and stooging (sometimes YEARS of preparation!) in order to torture the original liars...... so for these new girls we will call the villains B instead :)

They better do my gurls justice in the sequel.

i love how every article i've read about the idol is saying something like "the weeknd is portraying a character who has to be both menacing and pathetic and can't do either effectively" it's just sad not every actor can be as talented as jdm in supernatural season one
