Monsoons by Johannes Bornlöf feat. Le June

An ocean, A cave A dream that no one could save A shelter, Our whole lives A lie that die with the night You and I, we got our differences, Yet I thought that we were more alike than unlike Monsoon rain and chest pain What's the plan? Hard to breathe and staying sane Grab my hand Everything is great inside this narrow maze We speak but, Or nothing We run our separate ways Do you ever think about me? Or are you busy with someone else You and I, we got our differences, Yet I thought that we were more alike than unlike Monsoon rain and chest pain What's the plan? Hard to breathe and staying sane Now grab my hand Everything is great inside this narrow maze Everything has lost its taste (oh-oh-oh-oh) Monsoon rain and chest pain Hard to breathe and staying sane Now grab my hand Monsoon rain and chest pain Tell me, what's the plan?

Musical Touken Ranbu: Tsuwamonodomo ga Yume no Ato english sub

A passion project if there's ever been one, it's been a longstanding want of mine to finally do this! Needless to say, Tsuwamono and everything it meant is still my favourite plot from Toumyu! I love its character-driven and intricate writing, its heartrending acting choices, as well as the way it invites one to think about what characters think and why, and why they do or don't (dare to) do the things they do.

However, another important reason that I'm letting myself indulge in this, is that recent Toumyu has taken a turn away from this plot, changing the way how Mikazuki is framed, tying different characters to themes that were tied to Kogitsunemaru, and put those characters into roles that would originally have been most natural for Kogitsunemaru to follow.

In that light, then, I hope that these subtitles will allow you to see, even if it's just the smallest sliver, what I loved in Toumyu's take of Kogi and Mika up to and including Kotobuki. To see that it was beautiful. Because I think it was. 💙💛🌙🦊

Keep in mind that the files in the folder below are only the subtitle files, timed and tled to the blu-ray and DMM senshuuraku distribution. The folder also includes a pdf with translation notes, some background information where I felt it would add, and just a little bit of eager gushing about the references made.

You can find the folder with all the aforementioned files here!

Please enjoy, even if it's just with me in your thoughts.

i can’t, i have to say it.

i’ve always loved pov by ariana.

even before the part 1 was out and i first learned of the mirror scene i couldn’t help myself and i considered reading the book. but i held strong.

then i watched interview with luke and nic where they were given words and they had to say what first comes to mind. it was “carriage”, “mirror”, “eclair”. and they were so confused by “eclair” that it broke my resolve and i read the book, but i digress.

so i read the book and with spoilers and promo i realized that while they are talking ABOUT mirror in the book, there actually WILL be a mirror scene in the show.

and i thought to myself “wow. it would have gone great with pov by ariana”.

hold on, i’m going to go on a rant and unpack a whole can of worms here.

i thought that this song would be a great choice because it is the scene where colin shows pen how beautiful she is, body and mind and soul, how he sees her. and maybe it’s the first time that she truly sees herself through his eyes.

but it’s not only pen. it’s also colin seeing himself from her point of view as well. as an audience, i think we do not appreciate how valid colin’s worries and concerns are. we’ve literally seen and been told for 2-3 seasons that pen loves him. but he does not know that like we do. technically, we saw inside pen’s head and heart probably even more than into colin’s. often these instances where we see pen being in love with him are not the scenes in which he actively participates or he is not even present. so yeah, if we weren’t shown these moments we would have been just as unsure and insecure as he is. it is his pov.

additionally, they are literally in front of a mirror! what is it if not seeing yourself from a different pov?

all this to say, when i saw the list of songs for part 2, it felt like a win because i knew this song would be PERFECT for them. and it totally was.

all this to say, now pov lives rent free in my mind and i can’t get my brain to shut up 🥲

I have very mixed feelings!! I think it’s hard for me to say how I actually feel because the hype was so intense and my intial feelings are probably skewed but I’m kinda disappointed right now. would love to hear others thoughts and have my opinion swayed!

It was a nice spring night, almost impossibly nice for early April. Yokai all over the hidden city had gathered at one of the largest and most beautiful gardens for a night of celebrating the warmer weather and coming summer, alongside the anniversary of the day yokai and humans' acceptance of each other into their societies. Although both groups still had a majority of their people staying where they were before, some yokai and some humans had moves into NYC and the Hidden City respectively.

Tonight, however, was not the time to reflect, as a young couple roamed the park. Hand in hand, a turtle and their winged lover strolled beneath the string lights and warm air, enjoying eachothers company and the night. Some people, both human and yokai, recognized the turtle as one of the mutants who made this all possible, with the defeat of the kraang and the societies integrations, but nobody dared bother the two when they looked so at peace and happy together.

The two approached a courtyard of sorts, lined with short brick walls and well lit. music grew louder as they approached, and both opted to dance.

Raph

Raph enjoyed strolling through the large park with you. the whole night you'd both been getting looks ranging from 'i want what they have' to 'IS THAT THE GUY WHO BEAT THE KRAANG??'

either way, you both opted to ignore them, continuing to move towards the music

by the time you two got there the song that had been playing had ended and a new one was about to begin

as the song began to play and as the song came to life with vocals and drums he quickly looked over to you

you were already rocking and swaying to the best, your wings and feathers fluttering and puffing in time with the beat

when the lyrics actually registered all that was said between you two was a quick "may I have this dance?" before you were immediately a whirlwind of movement

Raph was spinning and twirling and dipping you, entranced with how happy you seemed, and your wings would flare themselves or spread out straight behind you during fast spins

for a majority of the song you had kept your wings close to your body when you could, but at the second chorus or so you both split off to dance together but not together

your wings moved quickly and full of energy in time with the beats and your arms while you twisting and ducked and at one point even took off for a second with a especially powerful beat

the whole time Raph hadn't noticed he'd come to a stop, just watching how violent and stunning you were and how the lights filtered through your feathers only making you stand out more among the vivid colors and moving crowds

by the end of the song you were both exhausted and happy together, opting to sit out for a bit and just bask in eachothers company

Donnie

The whole night he'd been more hunched in on himself than usual, trying to about the prying eyes of some people while also being angry at anybody who stared

In an attempt to bring him some relief from the staring you'd dragged him towards the courtyard, where nobody was paying attention to anybody else and everyone was dancing

by the time you two got there the song was starting, and coincidentally Donnie really liked the song. to the point where you two had danced to it before and choreographed some little dances for certain parts

a majority of the song was just spinning around each other in something that resembled more of a fight than a dance. at some points he'd gently grab your hands and pull you towards him, twisting his arms over your front so you were back to chest with him as you swayed

but after the lull in the song he decided it would be a good idea to just spin. he knew spinning was kinda your go-to when you didn't know what to do, and he didn't know what to do either

as he latched on and began to spin you both shared a wicked grin as you picked up speed and before long you both were a tornado of color in the middle of a circle the crowd had made to avoid getting hit

once the world was just colors and music and his face, you flung your wings open, flaring them in all their glory to catch the light before holding them close but still out behind you. before long they'd drifted to be parallel with your arms, encasing you both

when the song ended and you both stumbled giggling out everyone was either impressed or pissed, but quickly forgot that when the next song started. you both opted out though, needing a minute for your heads to stop spinning and a minute to yourselves

Leo

The whole night you'd both been getting looks, and he just basked in the attention, even if he didn't like some of the looks people gave the two of you

you definitely didn't like the stares, and tried to shrink in on yourself as much as possible

he noticed this early on and when he heard the music he knew what to do. he grabbed your hand and led you both to the music, where the song had just ended

And, of course, you both got lucky! a song you both enjoyed came on, and immediately he grabbed you by the hand and spun you both into a dance

the song was high energy, which was just what you'd needed to come out of your shell a little more. as the chorus came on you let go of eachothers hands to lean in and lip sync at each other before just continuing dancing

infact, the entire song was lip synced by you both, which eventually became singing. you both had listened to the song before and designated parts that you liked singing

as the final chorus approached you both split again and your wings were on full display as you spun and danced and flaunted them around

you both came back together just at the end for a final spin, your wings on full display and not a care in the world. the energy was higher than ever and you both were having the time of your lives out on the dancefloor!

when the song ended you both needed a minute and a drink, your laughter infectious for the crowd and anybody who passed you on your journey to the nearest vending machine

Mikey

Tonight had been a lot so far. you two had sent plenty of death glares at people who hadn't minded their stares and were both annoyed.

and apparently you both needed a pick me up because you automatically drifted towards the music

as the song started it was ironic that they'd played a song you both liked, but neither of you could complain when it was plenty high energy and an excuse to go crazy

the entire song your wings were flared as you both circled each other and spun and danced and dipped. Mikey sang along for a majority of the song and occasionally you'd join him on the chorus

the energy was infectious as the crowd also began to have fun with it, but your wings cleared a path for you two that kept you both away from the crowd

your wings were gliding and dipping with the beat, completely independent of your arms, and whenever Mikey decided to dance face to face they'd wrap loosely around the two of you, close but never touching

before the second chorus was the first time he'd done this, intertwining your fingers and holding both your hands by your faces

during the part between the same chorus and the next one he'd gotten into the song, dancing and spinning almost independent from you, if it weren't for all the times he'd waltz away and come back for you to dip and twirl him

by the end of the song he was more winded than you were, his curse of using dance to express himself more than you did, and it led you both off to find a snack vendor for his blood sugar
