i’ve been relistening to both the palisade and partizan soundtracks a lot lately, both because i’m catching up on palisade and lately it’s had plenty of implications for both seasons as a whole and because i’m slowly writing my own hack/setting/something about screaming mechs and i think the thing that strikes me listening the second time to partizan is how different it feels when you think of each synth as the voice of a mech or divine that is Screaming and Afraid and Alive. or just like. the sound of metal being Used. how scary would the sound of welding be to a robot. do the columnar or divines or any other synthetic people hear the constant alarms on ships like icebreaker or palisade and hear screaming. the way humans hear screaming in death whistles. posthumanism will not save you from body horror and from witnessing horrors made of flesh or seeing bodies corrupted destroyed and used. and in fact you are even more vulnerable. or something.

#anyway.#(SPOILERS IN TAGS)#i love how The Motion sound has been used across the seasons #and going back to partizan she sounds scary but knowing what happens to her #the screams also sound afraid.#anyway. mechs and metal and god. and crying.#i think you could bet money on if it’s what i’m thinking about at any given moment.#also. the way the perennial/autonomy can be heard in the background of partizan songs #she’s there. she’s watching. she’s seen it before. and she’s so old and so desperate.#i think if valence knew what she was. they would have been so different. but also maybe exactly the same.#i think they and the branched might mourn for her more than anyone else in the universe #perennial didn’t just think autonomy would save partizan.#she thought autonomy would save her.#and it wasn’t enough.#friends at the table #f@tt #partizan #palisade #gur. valence. phrygian. figure.#like. maybe the reason brnine has made it this far is that they ARE organic.#whereas the other four they/them users. have directly interacted with their bodies as tools separate from their minds or souls.#seen or feared them being manipulated.
