Top Tracks: Kitty Perrin - Death Metal
We’re all guilty of trying to hide from our own thoughts sometimes. It’s often our first instinct when times are hard. When thoughts we’d rather not deal with keep echoing in our heads, we resort to drowning them out; headphones on, music loud, blocking out the whole world, our own thoughts included. Yet in doing so we risk drowning out the good as well as the bad. The reassuring words of those…

Idk if you ever mentioned this, so imma ask: What would Viri's and Loid's dynamic be? How would they interact with one another? What are her thoughts on the Cavia? Does she have any overall opinion on the Murmur, Albrechts Labs,The Vessels, etc? Also, what's her opinion on Kalymos?
I'm pretty sure the most I've talked about the new content-adjacent things is just how Viri ended up being the Chosen Operator due to Wally targeting specifically her!
Anyways.
Viri and Loid - she didn't particularly enjoy being called a deserter, but it's not like Loid is privy to her sad and tragic backstory and how she was brainwashed into servitude. Viri has experience mediating with cranky people so she mostly let Loid lead her from task A to task B while watching out for his emotional reactions to the Indifference. Once the events of the quest pass, Loid apologizes to her for his initial hostility, but Viri assures him that they can mend that over a cup of milk coffee and a slice of cheesecake, so they keep in touch and Viri brings him snacks from the outside world and tells him of all that has happened since he went into cryostasis; including updating on what the Entratis are up to upstairs. Long story short - a bit of a rocky start but they end up becoming friends.
Cavia - broke her heart in a billion pieces! ESPECIALLY Tagfer. Viri's father, Amadeus, was a virmink breeder who was infamous for his attachment to his "specimens", he would give a name to each and every virmink he bred (even the failures that had to be put down) and was very attached to them. Tagfer's depression over losing Minn shook Viri to her core. She now sometimes wonders if the virminks she and her father looked after also shared such deep feelings within the recesses of their minds...
The murmur - since they function as Wally's minions she feels responsible for holding them back, especially due to her strong affinity for the Void. Sometimes they whisper to her and call her a traitor - the murmur sense the void angel within her, and think she is one of them but are confused as to why she attacks them or more importantly - why she can resist their master's call.
The lab and vessels - Viri has seen her fair share of weird science, her mother worked on infestation, but Viri never-ever found out what exactly she worked on since it was top secret. Albrecht is an Orokin and Orokin doing shady, dangerous shit was not something that surprised her in the least. She would just quietly catalog anything interesting, but mostly keep it to herself (usually she forwards all information to Ergo for Perrin safekeeping, but Viri promised Loid that nobody outside of a select few Tenno are allowed to know of the Sanctum's existence).
Kalymos - little known fact! Viri adopted a hyekka kavat whose name is Bacchus! She loves naked kitties! Circling back to the Cavia and her father's work, Viri is definitely an animal person; she is used to handling them and respects them almost the same way you would respect a person. The question is whether Kalymos would like Viri...
Here is a picture of Bacchus as a bonus:

Let's (re)Read The Eye of the World! Chapter 42: Remembrance of Dreams
Tumblr media
Rest easy, child. Moiraine is keeping you safe from the spoilers. This post is filled with spoilers for the whole of The Wheel of Time series and I am trying to get them stabbed into you, but you can avoid your fate! Just block the tags! Leave this post! Read the damn books or whatever! And don't blame me if you see spoilers from here on out.
This chapter's icon is the ravens, a way of representing the Shadow that the gang is desperately trying to find a way to escape. Luckily, there's nothing really going on to threaten them in this chapter.
He took five steps into the library before he realized that everyone else had stopped, crowded together in the doorway, openmouthed and goggling. A brisk blaze crackled in the fireplace, and Loial was sprawled on the long couch, reading, a small black cat with white feet curled and half asleep on his stomach. When they entered he closed the book with a huge finger marking his place and gently set the cat on the floor, then stood to bow formally.
Aww, Loial snuggles with kitties too. This book doesn't have enough kitty snuggles, there should have been one in literally every chapter.
(Also it's cute that Rand forgets how unusual Ogiers are from everyone else's perspective because he's just that buddy-buddy with Loial already. Rand's a good friend.)
Loial liked to talk, and talk at length when he had the slightest chance, though he usually seemed to think a story needed two or three hundred years of background to make it understood. His sense of time was very strange; to him three hundred years seemed a reasonable length of time for a story or explanation to cover.
To an Ogier, this is only providing a decade or so of context, which isn't anywhere near as much.
“You always were crazy,” Perrin said, and for a moment he, too, sounded as of old. “No,” Nynaeve said. Tears made her eyes bright, but she was smiling. “None of us blames you.”
Dammit people, more hugs! Hug Mat! Hug Moiraine! Hug Loial especially and then tell me how fluffy it was.
“Yes,” Moiraine said quietly, “he still has the dagger.” The laughter and talk was still going on among the rest of the Emond’s Field folk, but she had noticed his sudden intake of breath and had seen what had caused it. She moved closer to his chair, where she did not have to raise her voice for him to hear clearly.
Rand again shows he's the overall cleverest of the group in that he notices what's up right away, and Moiraine briefly flirts with being the kind of assistant to Rand that she should be by telling him the facts straight out. See how well you two get along in this conversation, Moiraine? All of your conversations could have been like that!
Rand made a sound, and Moiraine raised an eyebrow at him. “I thought they were looking for Mat and me,” he said.
Rand's reacting to Moiraine's infodumping, which again shows just how great a team they are when Moiraine is providing all the facts instead of trying to manipulate them! This sequence is really good in the trust she offers to everyone and it's a shame she reverts to her old habits again by the second book. I blame Siuan showing up, it made her feel young again.
“That’s what I always say,” Mat said blandly, though he was suddenly grinning hard, and Egwene asked in a decidedly neutral voice, “Who’s Elayne?”
Egwene, you spent several weeks dancing with the hottest boy you could find. You don't get to be pissy about Rand interacting with another girl. It's just annoyingly hypocritical and we are leaving the part of the book where romantic misunderstandings are fun.
I met some Tuatha’an a few years back, and they wanted to learn the songs we sing to trees. Actually, the trees won’t listen to very many anymore, and so not many Ogier learn the songs. I have a scrap of that Talent, so Elder Arent insisted I learn. I taught the Tuatha’an what they could learn, but the trees never listen to humans. For the Traveling People they were only songs, and just as well received for that, since none was the song they seek.
Please internalize this, WoT fandom. The Tuatha'an aren't stupid, they're well aware of the Ogier songs, and the Ogier songs aren't what they're looking for. No song is actually what they're looking for, but the Ogier songs can't even be sung properly by people so there's no match here at all.
“That’s what the Tinkers told us,” Perrin said. “Yes,” Egwene said, “the Aiel story.” Moiraine turned her head slowly. No other part of her moved. “What story?”
See what it feels like when people won't communicate useful information, Moiraine?
(Also I am 90% certain that it was only the Three Oaths that kept Perrin and Egwene alive through this exchange, and also Mat and Rand once the dream info comes out.)
Had I known after the first such, I might have been able to. . . . There has not been a Dreamwalker in Tar Valon for nearly a thousand years, but I could have tried.
I'm pretty sure that the real reason the boys don't tell Moiraien, Pattern-wise, is that she would have worn herself out trying to help. She sadly cannot.
He can still send Halfmen against you, and Trollocs, and Draghkar, and other things, but he cannot make you his unless you let him.
I'm mostly quoting this bit to show that Moiraine and Lan are in definite philosophical disagreement here. She's way more hopeful about the task at hand than he is, though these Two Rivers folk are probably making her less optimistic by the millisecond.
Out of the mass of humanity, the Dark One can touch an individual only by chance, unless that person seeks it. But for a time, at least, you three are central to the Pattern.
Also of course, the boys aren't being touched by the Dark One. They're instead being influenced by Ishamael, who is now free enough to do whatever he pleases.
“The Father of Lies is a good name for the Dark One,” Moiraine replied. “It was always his way to seed the worm of doubt wherever he could. It eats at men’s minds like a canker. When you believe the Father of Lies, it is the first step toward surrender. Remember, if you surrender to the Dark One, he will make you his.”
And this is the part where Moiraine loses the trust again. She could have told Rand the truth, but she sidesteps so blatantly instead that he has no choice but to distrust her.
“The Pattern presents a crisis, and at the same time a way to surmount it. If I did not know it was impossible, I could almost believe the Creator is taking a hand. There is a way.”
I wonder if Robert Jordan read much of Asimov's Foundation. In those stories, a man had deduced a way to predict the future in broad strokes and had established the titular Foundation to avert the 30,000 years of barbarism he foresaw. As the project would still take a thousand years, he left behind recordings identifying various turning points and leaving hints for the Foundation's members to use to swing events the proper way - they were referred to in-universe as "Seldon crises".
Much like Wheel of Time, Asimov died with this story unfinished and had later authors revisit the series, though sadly they only did a prequel trilogy instead of resolving the cliffhanger of the final chronological novel. It also is getting adapted these days and attracting a lot of alt-right rage for having women and people of color in the cast instead of the series of interchangeable white dudes - and hopefully Amazon's Wheel adaptation will continue the parallels by having a much stronger second season after a shakier first one.
Anyway I dunno why this notion struck me here, it's just something about the way Moiraine said it. Fun fact: the Creator can intervene and we'll be seeing that before the book ends, though he won't be doing much useful.
“No!” Loial said, an emphatic rumble like thunder. Everyone turned to look at him and he blinked under the attention, but there was nothing hesitant about his words. “If we enter the Ways, we will all die—or be swallowed by the Shadow.”
Oh yeah, this is probably another thing that the chapter icon was referencing. But we'll see more about that soon. Next chapter: more bad dreams!

Kitty Perrin shares relatable debut single 'The Escapist'
Norwich singer-songwriter Kitty Perrin has shared her relatable debut single, ‘The Escapist’. It arrives just days before the start of her co-headline tour alongside Alexander Carson.
After sneaking into a Slow Club gig in year six, Perrin found a new hero in Rebecca Lucy Taylor (now SELF ESTEEM). She adored her blunt lyrical style and Perrin’s love for that type of songwriting only increased when Kate Nash and Lily Allen emerged in her teens.
This candid, conversational quality is at the heart of her chirpy, indie-pop debut outing, ‘The Escapist’. It sees Perrin present a part of her personality that she ‘really hates’.
Speaking about the song, she said: “When I was processing a recent break-up, it eventually dawned on me that I was doing my best to avoid taking responsibility for my role in it. I realised that I’d been glad my ex had ended things so badly because it meant that I was the victim.
“'The Escapist’ is about that desire I had to feel blameless at the end of that relationship, and our ability to invent false histories for our own peace of mind”.

Let's (re)Read The Eye of the World! Chapter 41: Old Friends and New Threats
Tumblr media
NFT images are so fun to take and repaste everywhere, so enjoy this NFT of the Queen's Blessing. Remember not to right click and save and devalue the actual owner's version! It would be terrible if they got scammed! (Spolier alert: They got scammed. Also, this post will have spoilers for the whole damn Wheel of Time series so if you don't like spoilers, get outta here!)
This chapter has Moiraine's staff for its icon because she is back in Rand's life and she is ready to fix all of his problems by curing Mat. Hooray!
Lamgwin was sitting on a bench by the door, a brindle cat in his arms, when he came running up. The man stood to look for trouble the way Rand had come, still calmly scratching behind the cat’s ears. Seeing nothing, he sat back down again, careful not to disturb the animal.
There's something wonderful about a big man who loves kitties and treats them right. I don't remember if we ever get a Lamgwin POV, but I kinda hope we do now.
“The Queen, eh? You don’t say. We had Gareth Bryne out in the common room an hour or so ago, arm-wrestling the Lord Captain-Commander of the Children, but the Queen, now . . . that’s something.”
I'm sad that Bryne never got to arm-wrestle Niall or at least Galad, because that would be hilarious.
This man stands at the heart of it. Rand felt a chill. “I don’t stand at the heart of anything,” he said harshly.
Rand's capacity for denial is almost unlimited. He's literally having his dreams haunted by Ba'alzamon who he not unreasonably thinks is the Dark One. Darkfriends hunt him at every turn, aided by Shadowspawn and Padan Fain. An Ogier thinks he's ta'veren and an Aes Sedai foretells that he stands at the center of strife and suffering to come. "I don't stand at the heart of anything. They must have me confused for Brand al'Thur from Emma's Field in Illian. Common mistake; I get his mail sometimes!"
“I know,” Loial said. “I still cannot go into the streets without raising a mob shouting ‘Trolloc’ after me. But Mat, at least, only uses words. He has not tried to kill me.”
Fuck you Book 1 Mat.
Master Gill’s eye fell on the stones board and his mood seemed to lighten. “It looks as if we’ll have to start the game over later.” “No need for that.” Loial stretched an arm to the shelves and took down a book; his hands dwarfed the clothbound volume. “We can take up from where the board lies. It is your turn.”
Poor Gil, trying to at least get out of a bad game with some dignity intact and Loial won't even let him get that much.
I’m looking for Darkfriends, a boy from the Two Rivers—
This is actually a nice way to establish that the rest of the party's had enough time to reach Caemlyn now - and so have the Whitecloaks they escaped. These dudes are looking for Perrin and Egwene, wanted murderer and accomplice, and so ironically if they'd been allowed to finish their sentence things would have ended up a lot less tense for Gill (who isn't hiding them) and a lot more tense for Rand.
The scrape of chair legs was loud. Suddenly every man in the room was on his feet. They stood still as statues, but every one staring grimly at the Whitecloaks. The under-officer did not appear to notice, but the four behind him looked around uneasily.
Nothing but love for the inn patrons. I hope each and every one of these nameless heroes made it all the way to the end, and my headcanon says they do!
When he saw Rand, the innkeeper tottered off the chair and over to him. “Who would have thought I had it in me to be a hero?” he said wonderingly. “The Light illumine me.”
This might be a bit of ta'veren pushing Gill around, but let's remember that ta'veren doesn't completely change people, just makes them fall into the pattern. Gill always had it in him and before this series is done he'll do a lot more.
Nynaeve and Egwene ran laughing to throw their arms around him, with Perrin crowding in behind them, all three patting his shoulders as if they had to be convinced that he was really there.
Let's just all appreciate the stark contrast between EotW allowing there to be a quiet moment of reunion that shows how much the EF5 love each other and AMoL going out of its way to prevent any major group reunion and also being sure not to narrate any of the lesser ones that it couldn't help but acknowledge.
“I knew you were alive,” Egwene said against his chest. “I always knew it. Always.”
Girl which is it?
Rand nodded encouragingly, trying to tell him silently that it was all right. Moiraine was not like Elaida, with a threat hidden behind every glance, under every word. Are you sure? Even now, are you sure?
Usually Moiraine's threats are pretty blatant Rand. Remember how terrifying it was when she said she'd kill you herself if she had to? That wasn't subtle at all!
Rand exchanged a fleeting look with Perrin, who put his eyes down again right away. There was something odd about Perrin’s eyes. And he was so silent; Perrin was almost always slow to speak, but now he was saying nothing at all.
The lack of communication between the main characters is a lot more believable right now because Rand is just happy to see Perrin's alive and, not knowing what's gone down, doesn't want to pry too much about something that seems traumatizing.
Egwene touched Rand’s sword, fingering the red wrappings. “What does it mean?” “Nothing,” he said. “Nothing important. We’re leaving for Tar Valon, remember?” Egwene gave him a look, but she removed her hand from the sword and took up where Perrin had left off.
Rand dear, don't be dismissive. Everyone can tell something's up with this town and Egwene doesn't want to be in the dark in case this comes back to bite her.
“Pretty Nynaeve,” Mat spat. “A Wisdom isn’t supposed to think of herself as a woman, is she? Not a pretty woman. But you do, don’t you? Now. You can’t make yourself forget that you’re a pretty woman, now, and it frightens you. Everybody changes.” Nynaeve’s face paled as he spoke—whether with anger or something else, Rand could not tell.
With all three of the others, Mat seems to go right for the jugular. It almost feels supernatural. I wonder: is his loyalty to Rand just that much stronger than the others, or is it the fact that he was strongly loyal to Rand and didn't leave his side? If Mat and Rand had been separated for weeks, would Mat be coming at him now just as strongly?
One minute Lan was in the doorway, the next he was at the bedside, as if he had not bothered with the intervening space. His hand caught Mat’s wrist, stopping the slash as if it had struck stone. Still Mat held himself in that tight ball. Only the hand with the dagger tried to move, straining against the Warder’s implacable grip. Mat’s eyes never left Moiraine, and they burned with hate.
Lan, you're one hell of a badass. The man might be the best Warder that ever was.
You three have escaped them too long. It looks as if you’ve brought a new Trolloc War to Caemlyn, sheepherder.
Not yet, but maybe in a dozen books!
Perrin spoke with a soft flatness that gave his words more weight than if he had shouted. “We can’t stop it alive, either, now can we?”
Geez, the death march and nights of torture did not agree with this kid. It's actually impressive how much he'll bounce back going forward because right now he's got enough negativity to equal Gollum!Mat.
This was kind of a transitory chapter, firmly ending the second act of this book to set up for the final stretch, so there's not much to analyze. Next time though... more set-up as the group figures out just what it should be doing. But then... another transition as the group finds a way to leave town. So yeah. Bit stretched out, this section. That's okay though. It's gonna pick up.

Lenny (Bob Fosse, 1974)
Lenny Bruce fue un cómico americano, poco conocido en Europa y nada en España, que supo mezclar el humor judío con una actitud provocadora que le valió múltiples disgustos y, al mismo tiempo, algunos «fans» entre los componentes de ciertos círculos «in» o «marginales» de ambas costas de los Estados Unidos. Por lo que Julian Barry (adaptando su propia obra teatral) y Bob Fosse nos cuentan, su vida debió ser bastante agitada, aunque no mucho más —ni en sentido muy diferente— que la de otros muchos actores, comediantes o artistas en general. Sin duda por su falta de originalidad, esta biografía no se nos narra lineal y cronológicamente, sino de forma fragmentaria y aparentemente desordenada, a través de una serie de secuencias aisladas, ejemplarmente ilustradas y suscitadas por entrevistas con algunas de las personas que le conocieron más de cerca: su esposa Honey (Valerie Perrine), su manager Artie Silver (Stanley Beck), su madre Kitty (Susan Malnick). Con todo y a pesar de las interrupciones, de las «vueltas al presente» que significan las preguntas y respuestas, de que el punto de partida argumental sea el hecho de que Lenny Bruce (Dustin Hoffman) está muerto y de que, como nos advierte el rótulo inicial, todos los hechos que vamos a presenciar son auténticos, lo cierto es que la sucesión de flashbacks que constituye la película respeta, más o menos, el orden en que se produjeron los acontecimientos clave de su vida.
Es decir, que Lenny nos cuenta, ante todo, una historia: parte de la vida de un personaje. Para que una biografía —ficticia o real— nos interese, han de ser la de una persona interesante. Fosse nos da por garantizado el interés tanto de Bruce como de su vida; el de su vida hemos visto ya que es muy relativo, ya que es una vida intercambiable con la de otros personajes; el de Bruce como artista no lo pongo en duda, pero debo decir que el film no consigue en momento alguno sustentar que lo tenga: ninguna de sus actuaciones resulta muy divertida, ni muy ingeniosa, ni realmente «demoledora» como crítica de la sociedad en que malvive. Ello induce a pensar que el verdadero interés de Lenny Bruce radica, más que en sus actuaciones, en sus transgresiones de las «buenas maneras», de los «usos admitidos». En ese sentido, se podría afirmar que Barry y Fosse aprecian de Bruce, ante todo, su aportación a la conquista de la libertad de expresión, aunque el interés de lo que luchó por conseguir fuese a mi modo de ver, muy limitado: el derecho a hablar «mal», a decir «tacos»; si se quiere, a llamar a las cosas por su nombre, a usar en público las palabras que se dicen en privado, o en la calle, o en el autobús.
Hasta tal punto es lo importante en Lenny —como en las actuaciones de Lenny Bruce— la palabra, que C.B. Films se ha molestado en solicitar los servicios como subtitulador de Camilo José Cela, experto en la materia (pero temo que no en inglés, ya que las traducciones son con frecuencia pobres y en ocasiones puramente erróneas), y así lo anuncia en la prensa. Semejante primacía de la palabra revierte en una importancia fundamental de los actores, y hay que reconocer que es en este terreno donde sobresale la labor de Bob Fosse: tanto Dustin Hoffman (actor amanerado que suelo detestar) como la poco profesional Valerie Perrine y, en general, todos los secundarios (pienso en los testigos de los juicios, y en especial en cierto policía) interpretan a la perfección sus respectivos papeles, y logran dar dramatismo e intensidad a buen número de escenas, especialmente aquellas más sencillas y directas, estilísticamente más «planas», es decir, aquellas en las que Fosse no recurre a un cierto impresionismo a base de montar planos cortos, por lo general de detalle y siguiendo el ritmo de Miles Davis, con la intención de recrear un cierto «clima».
Bob Fosse fue un notable bailarín, un regular actor y un excelente coreógrafo (de My Sister Eileen de Quine a Damn Yankees de Abbott & Donen). Convertido en director de musicals en Broadway, con gran éxito debutó en 1969 como director cinematográfico con un remake musical de Las noches de Cabiria de Fellini titulado Noches de la ciudad (Sweet Charity); en 1971 realizó Cabaret y, por último, en 1975 ha firmado Lenny. Con estas tres películas, Fosse ha demostrado —en las dos primeras— que sigue siendo un gran coreógrafo y que es un gran director de actores. Sin embargo, permanece excesivamente ligado al mundo del espectáculo en su elección de temas y personajes —casi siempre adaptando éxitos de la escena, además— como para que pueda considerárselo algo más que un metteur-en-scéne, idea se ve preocupantemente corroborada por la incertidumbre estilística que demuestran sus tres películas, y en las que no puede advertirse otro progreso que una aparente tendencia a la sobriedad, tal vez dictada por el carácter intimista de Cabaret —frente Sweet Charity— y por el tono «documental» que —con ayuda de la excelente fotografía en blanco y negro de Bruce Surtees— ha querido dar a Lenny. Claro que esta creciente austeridad visual, bienvenida tras el caótico y arbitrario empacho de movimientos de cámara de su primer film, ha tenido una desagradable contrapartida en el progresivo alejamiento del musical que han marcado Cabaret y, sobre todo, Lenny, y el consiguiente abandono del trabajo para el que Fosse está más dotado, el de coreógrafo, motivo por el cual no creo que este director sea, como algunos piensan y el éxito comercial de sus películas parece indicar, uno de los más prometedores del «nuevo Hollywood», sino todo lo contrario: de «nuevo» no veo en él más que las facilidades de la «permisividad» inaugurada por la desaparición del código Hays y el recurso, en sus primeros films, al zoom y la imagen desenfocada; si se dejan de lado estas características, Fosse parece un mero artesano, como tantos del Hollywood de antaño, sólo que menos riguroso y menos modesto, y por tanto menos interesante que, por ejemplo, un Walter Lang.

Kitty Perrin shares sophomore single ‘Nothing Bad About Me’
Norwich singer-songwriter Kitty Perrin has unveiled her sophomore single release, ‘Nothing Bad About Me’. It follows on from her debut single ‘The Escapist’ as well as her recent addition to the Glastonbury Emerging Talent competition longlist.
'Nothing Bad About Me’ tackles darker themes of abusive relationships, but a rallying cry of empowerment forms its endearing underbelly.
Speaking about the song, Kitty said: “This song is partly fictional, partly really personal. It explores an abusive relationship where one person is always kept down by their partner by trying to live up to an unrealistic expectation. The kind of expectations so many women have to deal with in their day to day life - to be smiley, and “motherly”, and polite at all times.
“I’ve heard so many times in my life ‘don’t be like that, you’re not like that.’ This song rallies against it. If you feel angry about something, chances are you deserve to be angry.”
