The Arrival ✦ 1980

[halemerry]

So I was going through the season taking some screen caps for a different piece of meta when I stumbled on something interesting: the record Aziraphale listens to.

So in 1934, Shostakovich wrote an opera called Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. It was popular but after Stalin himself deemed the work corrupt he wound up banned by the Soviet Union. This had a huge impact of Shostakovich's life and was a very dangerous thing to have happen to you. There are even stories of him sleeping in stairwells to avoid arrest. So by 1937 he released the Symphony No. 5 in D minor. It is a piece written to get him back into the good grace of the authorities and as such it is informally called A Soviet Artist’s Practical and Creative Response to Just Criticism. This worked. Which on the surface makes sense but I urge you to go listen to this song. It starts out very angry. Then retracts itself into a very hesitant sonata. And then the music cuts into a harsh pattern of notes. It's cuts are jarring and there's something just slightly off in nearly all the melodies. Notably, most symphonies shift to a major key by the end. This one, despite spending a great deal of time leading up to the shift into one, refuses to. It's all false triumph. It's all about pretending to folk under the authority's pressure without actually making something that would glorify it. And it worked. Stalin approved of him again.

This was what Az was listening to. Az who is about to make a series of not quite right choices that to the right eyes look like him bowing back again under authority's pressure. He's listening to a song built to deceive those with power over the composer into letting him back into the fold. Whatever Metatron did to him and whether Aziraphale was magically and/or mundanely manipulated (I suspect and) I don't think it entirely took hold.

And the miracle is in here too. Because even if they don't say it out loud, there isn't a more 'together' moment than the nearly-25-lazarii-miracle they perform together. Until the Final 15.

"...Ahoy ye, Chum-Buckets-Heads." "Just th' two of ye, today? We can wait fer more." "Naughty, momma Admiral, forgot t' pack yer lunch?" "But Daddy's home n' ...he's got th' memorable punch!"

⛵️ The Arrival by Shaun Tan

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

I’ve never read a graphic novel without words and I thought to myself, upon finishing this book, “this is what art is.” Each little square acts as a scene, a portrait, a voice to the immigration experience. The story follows a man who, we can assume, is immigrating and paving the way for his family. We follow him as he makes friends, learns his way, and experiences a surrealist world around him. The art is beautiful and the story is beautiful and I was taken aback from how cool and expressive this was.

I highly recommend!

Real Diego Showing + Concerned Felipe

Diego: It's, um… A shame the war with the French goes so poorly. Risendo: Poorly? We are close to victory. Diego: Well, but just yesterday I received a letter from an old friend, a captain in the cavalry. He tells me our armies are being routed. Risendo: And just what would be the name of your friend, this captain? Diego: He said that his men are laying down their arms in surrender. After all, he should know what's he talking about. He's in the front lines, not collecting taxes in the colonies… Risendo, raising his voice: I'll have his name! Diego: It's really not important. Risendo: Lieutenant Hidalgo, take this arrogant caballero to the cuartel! *Diego walks toward Hidalgo as Victoria whispers worriedly to Don Alejandro, who then looks over at a worried Felipe.*
