if there’s one thing I know about an Eddie centered episode is I’ll be crying my eyes out the whole time

[lost-romantique]

If Blitzø can learn to hate himself a little less...

If he could learn to open up and depend on others a little more...

If he could learn that he doesn't make everyone's lives worse...

If he could learn to be a little bit more vulnerable...

If he could learn to accept love from others...

He would be the biggest cinnamon roll.

Shout-out to this poor ginger kid on the left who thought he was in band before remembering he's in orchestra:

That must've been an awkward conversation once he got far enough down the hall. In his defense, why did they color code band and orchestra that way on the charts, then have them practice in the opposite color room?

Also, Dev absolutely disgusted with Hazel bringing a violin to band rehearsal:

[beanghostprincess]

Winry is way stronger than me because if somebody ever did something as intimate as this to me I would lose it so fucking fast I would start crying and kissing the shit out of Ed what the actual fuck

I might be going crazy, but UnEnd E2 contains the word "balustrade" and...

It is a word that has only been spoken three times in the entirety of Midst media, which would seem to make sense. It's hardly a common phrase. But it's when those three times occured that make it stand out.

Spoilers ahead

The first time it was spoken was during the moon tearror, S2E4: Weather. During an unprecedented disaster of reality-tearing proportions, the teletheric broadcast is warped and twisted. And, in the background, between and behind other lines, it says

"…skies occluded with the substrate aberrant / universe / mat which is the tale of sings…” [continues in the background, unintelligible]

“…sweet listener going / going u-uch…”

“…dark trenches where the light cannot glow or go / Arca / balustrade / Caenum…”

Now, in the context of Midst, there's not much apparent reason for balustrade to be mentioned. Everything else seems to have some sort of place. The substance aberrant is fold, and it is known for devouring light (literally), particularly as you travel into the deeper trenches of the vast fold sea. The Arca and Caenum are significant parts of the worldbuilding. Balustrade stands out.

The second time balustrade is mentioned is what I thought that broadcast was pointing to. In S2E19: Exposed, it is mentioned that High Notary Milton Fleit, one of the three primary leaders of the Trust, is clutching a balustrade while looking down at a freshly Arca'd Moc Weepe. Now, this seems like a fairly innocuous detail, and it could tie that broadcast to a nice narrative conclusion. It was foreshadowing the events of later in the season, with the Arca blasting Weepe, him standing before the Upper Trust as they clutched at the balustrade, to declare a way to deal with the most Caenum-ous criminal the Trust had ever seen (and thus solve their financial issues).

But then balustrade got mentioned again in UnEnd. This time right after the miraculous fold light was put on display, and the impossible dark-mica unship is about to take off into the highest reaches of the cosmos. The granddaughter, a proto-Mother Merciful (who's arc I am so excited to watch) was clinging to one.

Now, it could just be that balustrade is a cool word for a railing.

But it keeps coming up in reference to tearrorfying fold-related things, where the neat ordering of cosmic light and dark are upended. The moon tearror. Black-blood jelly Weepe seizing control of the Highest Light. And now The Ship and its impossible engine going up. It's all about light falling or darkness rising, and the mad results of their mixture.

Ironically, balustrade means that the railings are gone.

Whatever the case, thank you for the amazing shows @midstpodcast

Surfs Up!

Aka - The Teku’s beach episode.

———

It was a beautiful sunny day on the coast. The type of day that Vert had been waiting for ever since Nolo agreed to let him take them all out for a nice relaxing beach day. Only, relaxing to Vert had an astoundingly different meaning to him than it did to the rest of the Teku.

Where Karma’s perfect day at the beach consisted of lounging in the shade with the sound of the ocean to compliment whatever book she was currently enveloped in, Vert’s was catching every wave humanly possible from the moment they arrived, till the moment the sun decided to finally cower away below the horizon. It was honestly impressive. He could have been a fish in a past life, or as Shirako loved to joke about, a surfing cartoon penguin.

Whatever the reason, Vert’s very soul resonated with the ocean. So, unsurprisingly, when they pulled into the parking lot, Vert was chomping at the bit to get everyone in the water. It was early. Like…Sunrise early. He’d claimed that that was the best time to show up if they wanted to avoid the crowds, but really he was just in it for the tidal movements.

“We’re going to miss all the good waves!” Vert whined as the group took their time gathering up all the beach gear. They’d brought everything. Towels, chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and it wouldn’t be a Teku beach day without a couple of good speakers to get some tunes going. Not to mention every spare board that Vert had. He didn’t want anyone feeling left out on the sand.

“We couldn’t miss the waves if we tried. Calm down, surf rat.” Kurt groaned as he stretched out from the drive. “There’s barely any cars in this parking lot. I thought you said it would be crowded?” There was a fatigued annoyance that laced his tone as his eyes caught the surfers.

“That's why we’re here early,” Vert replied dubiously. He was going to busy himself with grabbing the rest of the chairs, but Karma beat him to it. That left him with the boards.

He gathered up as many as he could and left the rest to Shirako and Nolo. They knew to handle them with care.

Getting down to the beach and set up wasn’t a long process, but to Vert, it felt like forever. Obviously, he helped without complaint, dutifully setting up chairs and umbrellas alike, but by the time they finished, he could have sworn the ocean was calling his name.

After haphazardly slapping on some sunscreen, Vert picked up his board and quickly made his way to the water. It was definitely cold. Any lingering sleepiness faded away as he waded out up to his waist. He didn’t care though. In fact, the feeling was something he’d grown quite fond of.

Goosebumps pricked at his flesh as he switched to paddling and managed to catch his first wave. He couldn’t have been out there for more than ten minutes before Nolo joined him with a shivering smile.

“You’re crazy, Vert. It’s freezing out here!” Nolo exclaimed in that ‘my body is fighting to keep warm so I’m running on pure adrenaline’ type of way. Vert laughed.

“It gets better the more you’re in it, man. Trust me!” And eventually, it did. By the time the sun had fully stretched itself up and into the sky, Nolo was finished shivering and actually starting to sort of get the hand of things. Well, it was more like boogie boarding, but that was one of the first steps. Besides, Vert was just happy to have someone out there trying.

Eventually, Shirako and Karma came to tag Nolo out so that he could take a rest. He’d almost been able to stand up on the board by the time he swam back to shore, which had Vert smiling ear to ear. The only one that seemed to be enjoying Vert’s surf lessons more than Vert, was Kurt. Every time someone went down, he’d let out an entertained laugh from the sidelines. Nolo was quick to get him back though, practically tackling the older racer into the sand the moment he emerged from the cold water, leaving them both scrambling for a sun-warmed towel.

Karma took Vert’s coaching like a champ. Hell, she was a natural. By lunch time she was grabbing almost as many waves as Vert was. Shirako on the other hand was having a harder time keeping up. That didn’t stifle his fun, however. No, as long as he had some music, he was fine. No matter how many times he wiped out.

Kurt was last to get in the water, and after laughing at everyone all day, the gang was eager to give him the same treatment.

“Surprised you actually made it out here. I was starting to think you couldn’t swim,” Vert teased as he pulled himself up to sit on his board. After surfing for almost the entire day, he needed a small break to catch his breath, and picking on Kurt was the perfect excuse.

“Oh, please. I’ve been swimming longer than you could walk.” Kurt shot back, rolling his eyes.

“Show us how it's done then,” Vert nodded at the board that Kurt was currently clinging on to. Their relationship had been a bit rocky during the World Race, but after Kurt had come to his senses and helped return the Wheel, a quick friendship had developed between the two. Kurt, although he’d never admit it, was happy to take Vert under his wing. It was sort of like having another younger brother, only this time, he’d make sure not to mess it up.

When the next wave came through, Vert was able to ride it with ease while Kurt was left struggling to keep up. A few wipeouts later, and the former Grand Prix racer was returning to the shore with his tail tucked between his legs. Fortunately, the rest of the Teku didn’t give him too much shit for it, despite him definitely deserving it. They all came to the conclusion that the ocean had humbled him enough for the day.

As the sun began to slowly sink its way back under the horizon, Vert finally made his way back in. Karma, like she had planned, was lounging on one of the foldable chairs, book in hand. Nolo and Kurt had taken to tossing a frisky back and forth, and Shirako was simply soaking up the sun and gently nodding his head along to the playlist he had curated for the occasion. All in all, it had been a fairly successful beach day, and Vert couldn’t wait for the next one.
