As much as I like Spotify Wrapped, I have to say this year was awful and the nail in the coffin for me.

Firstly, it was later than usual and was all AI. That isn't 100% a bad thing, but it was missing a ton of stats in favor for what AI generated genre description we were listening to through out the year. I wanted to know what my top genres were this year! What my tarot or energy was! But there was none of that, instead an AI podcast that reguritated the wrapped story and got it wrong for me. (Last time I checked by biggest listneing day couldn't have been 12k minutes as there's not even that many minutes in a week).

Spotify isn't even the best music streaming platform by far. It sucks with music quality where it is very noticible even if you aren't an audiophile. Let's compare individual plans. For 11.99 USD the highest streaming is 320kbps and doesn't have high-res. Amazon, Tidal, and Apple Music all have the ability to stream CD quality (for example Tidal is 1,411kbps) for their 10.99 USD each. And they have the same if not bigger catelogs. Oh and Tidal actually pays their artists and is clear about it (Spotify pays $0.00348 per stream, Amazon does $0.00426, Apple $0.00675, and Tidal $0.00876).

The biggest draw to Spotify for me was the statistics. I really enjoyed being able to see what I'm listening to and compare but now every other streaming service has that. I liked that. Except, each service is doing that now. And Every Noise At Once, a website I use to find great new music, is no longer updating cause Spotify laid off a ton of their staff. While it wasn't a Spotify "offical" thing, the person that ran it worked at Spotify and was a part of the daylist creation along with other things.

Another thing is the music recommendations. They suck. Spotify used to introduce me to a lot of new music but I feel like it just gives me the same five same songs. Shuffle is also rigged and anything generated has gone downhill since the layoff. There's no new layout or UI changes that have been asked for years. Like covers for playlist folders or album collections.

Spotify might have podcast integration but it SUCKS. There's so many better free options. I'm a big podcast listener and their podcatcher is the worst I've used. By far.

The only good thing about Spotify right now is the audiobooks for premium users. I liked that. Except the selection is limited you get 15 hours a month. There's other free options like Libby which is integrated with local libraries.

If you were disapointed with Spotify Wrapped this year, maybe look into some other options. Spotify has some nice features but I'm finding it less and less worth it.

Lilith, Mother of Demons

I should probably do a full-body full demon form sometime. But that's not today.

Notes under cut, including some Bible info!

Between dolls, snakes, apples, circuses, ducks, etc, there were just too many motifs/thematic elements to shove onto just Lucifer. So, I streamlined and distributed. Lucifer is goat themed, Lilith is snake themed. Charlie is a mix of the two. I also use this to partly to imply that "the Devil" is not solely Lucifer. But humans mistake various different demons as one character. Lucifer is just the one who gets blamed for everything. That's part of why he's a goat; he's a scapegoat.

Owls- lilith has sometimes been translated as owl or as night bird. In some Mesopotamian myths, lilith demons fly. Some tablets depict a lilith with talons, horns, and/or wings.

Snakes- there is a trending theme of Lilith being associated with snakes, and sometimes being the serpent who tempts Eve. I wanted to give her snake hair, but making all of it snakes would be too many and a hassle to draw. So I went with seven to represent the 7 deadly sins. They're all named, just like how Charlie has Hugh.

Pride= Vani (vanity)

Wrath= Irene (Ire)

Gluttony= Tony (gluttony)

Greed= Ava (avarice)

Lust= Libby (libido)

Envy= Desi (desire)

Sloth= Lazlo (lazy)

Vampires - This is a design element that I didn't realize was a historically viable association to make until after I made the design. But I figured it would be good to mention anyway. Lilith has been equated with some vampiric elements over the centuries. It comes from a thematic overlap between succubi and early depictions of vampires. So while I may not have had vampires in mind, I think some of the elements naturally bled through(no pun intended).

Dolls- I took this one from canon Lucifer and gave it to Lilith instead. I figured she was created and used like a doll, so it could fit decently enough.

--Heavenbound Backstory--

My ideas for her backstory can be found through HERE.

--is Lilith really Biblical? Kind of, but not really--

So, fun fact. Lilith isn't really in the Bible. The word lilith is mentioned once in Isaiah 34:14 in some translations. But translation is a tricky process and subject to the interpretation of the translator. It's an inevitable issue. It's part of why there are so many different versions of the Bible.

The single mention of lilith isn't even used as a name. Lilit/lilitu/other spelling variations are a type of Mesopotamian she-demon. Basically succubi, but then the concept merged with the child-killer Lamatshu. Liliths are often associated with seduction, wet dreams, reproductive problems, and child death. Using the term lilith had a cultural context that we don't really have now. It's like how people today will blame mysterious phenomenon on aliens.

Other Bible translations will use "night creatures", "screech owls", "Lamia" or other similar phrases instead. The context of the verse can change drastically based on what phrasing is used. Most versions(including the most popular ones like the KJV) steer away from "lilith".

Lamia is the latin equivalent to lilith, and lamia happen to be associated with snakes. I didn't know that until after I designed her, so it's a neat coincidence.

--The Other Woman--

The idea of a woman before Eve is based on rabbinic myths used to explain a perceived discrepancy in the biblical creation story. In one account, it sounds as if man and woman were created together. In another, it sounds as if woman was created after. These myths also accuse Eve of a lot of misconduct, so it seems like a pretty misogynistic take anyway(and I don't use that phrasing lightly). These myths didn't name the woman, as far as I'm aware.

The oldest known depiction of Lilith as Adam's first wife is from a medieval Jewish story, the "Alphabet of Ben Sira." The author is unknown, and it's widely considered satirical. Lilith is ultimately portrayed as the evil one.

In some depictions of her, she forces herself on Adam and has his demon children. Or she is infertile and steals and/or kills babies. Or she causes miscarriages and fertility issues.

In some other depictions, she and Samael are born as one. Sometimes as a hermaphrodite, sometimes in the same manner as Adam and Eve. And yet other depictions, she is the first wife of Samael. Sometimes God castrates Samael to prevent them from having demonic children, so Lilith goes to copulate with unaware sleeping men. Other times Lilith is rendered infertile. Sometimes she's the wife of Asmodeus.

In the Latin Vulgate, lilith is translated as lamia. There are elements of early ideas for vampirism. Then Lilith is equated with the Greek character Lamia, who also has conflicting origin stories. Lamia has a human upper half and and snake lower half. In some sources, she is a daughter of Hecate. In another, she is cursed by Hecate to have stillborn children. In another, Hera killed all of Lamia's children, and Lamia's grief turned her into a monster that would steal and devour children.

Arabic folklore depicts a character similar to Lilith. She was rejected by Adam, so she mated with Iblis(the demon king) instead. She gave birth to thousands of demons.

Lilith, overall, was depicted as an evil character until the feminist movement in the 70s. That's when she was depicted by Judith Plaskow as a strong willed woman who refused to submit to Adam(I guess they just ignored the history of rape and child murder, great job picking an inspirational feminist icon y'all). It's this feminist interpretation that Hellaverse seems to have based Lilith off of.

I wanted to balance aspects of these while also still favoring the portrayal of Lilith as not-evil. Unless canon decides to make her evil, then I may revisit the idea.

Dina: I want a look that screams I got dumped!

Rachelle: You'll get a look that scream I'm here to have a good time!

Libby: I'm here because you mom makes excellent quality ice-cream.

To Libby/DogDay: Are there any other humans that know about you?

Player: She's sleeping right now due to some meds they gave her, but I can answer that question because I deal with them too.

Player: AHEM

Player: The MOB people have been after me for a while now since I'm one of the few ex-employees of Playtime Co. who isn't dead, missing, or in a legal mess; but I somehow ended up giving in so they can have everything I know about that shitty company in exchange for ensuring Dogday gets proper care and repairs, because giving her legs and the organs those gremlins ate is totally out of my league (I'm an administrative technician, not a doctor or scientist).

Player: What they found with Dogday is that even though she's not comfortable with adults around her, she makes an effort to cooperate, causing them to treat her almost like a princess for being so cooperative.

Player: And those who know about my princess's existence are, if I'm not mistaken= 5 toy designers that the company fired so they wouldn't be given the patent for their creations that are working on modernizing and adapting Dogday's body, 5 doctors from Sawyer's "side" who feel remorseful (or at least they betrayed him to avoid life imprisonment) that are in charge of her physical recovery, 1 former psychologist from the nursery school that guides her mental recovery, 1 criminal analyst or something like that that takes note of her testimonies, My wife;who is in recovery, but hearing about Libby and her progress helps her to improve on her own, old Maxwell Paxton who is the case officer on the police side of MOB (who is training the new officer for when he takes his break to moving, Michael O'Hara or something like that)…

?????: Mr. Layer; is this the double D to play dodgeball with monsters? Kissy said she would play and we shared the minis to play!

Player: ohhh, and some of their little gremlins come to play with Dogday a lot.For example, she, Evelyn; is the daughter of the new officer O'Hara

Player: and not Evelyn; Libby is sleeping right now, and what did I say about playing with them?

Evelyn: pouts

Player: "I don't know why, but the new case officer's daughter is awfully similar to Libby… I hope that's just my impression…" - or I know why, but the new case officer's daughter is awfully similar to Libby… I hope that's just my impression…"

Mistress of the Devil

Christmas gift for @libby-for-life based on the mistress au idea we came up with a few months ago.

Heels clicked against the tiles as a dark figure made his way through the castle in the dead of night. He slipped through the shadows, making sure that he was not disturbing the peace. Finally at long last he made it to his destination. The guards tensed when they heard someone approach. Only slightly relieved to see that it was just their king. 

Lucifer: Good evening to you gentlemen. I have come to pay a visit to my lovely mistress.

Guard 1: Our apologies my king but I’m afraid that he has already retired this evening. 

Guard 2: We can awaken him if you wish?

Lucifer: No need, I merely wished to see him and don't ever think such foolish thoughts again. My mistress needs all the rest he can get. Now if you’ll excuse me.

He waved a hand for them to move and they did. Even opening the doors for him. Before stepping through he turned and gave them a serious look. 

Lucifer: Remember. No one, not even the Queen herself is allowed in here when I’m here. 

They nodded and watched as he slipped through, closing the doors behind him. The room was completely dark, save for the moonlight coming through the open doors leading to the balcony. The linen curtains blowing softly against the evening breeze. He clicked his tongue, no, no that won’t do. His mistress could catch a cold if kept open.

 Or an intruder stupid enough to come here might crawl in. He would not let anything happen to his mistress. Especially in his condition. He closed them and then made his way over the large luxurious bed surrounded by thick light blue curtains. Thick enough so that nobody would be able to feast their eyes on the slumbering creature. 

Except for Lucifer of course. 

He waved his hand and the curtains drew back revealing the most beautiful being in all of creation. Adam slept heavily and peacefully snuggled underneath the soft, cotton blankets. Lucifer felt all the stress from the day wash away once his eyes trained on him. Especially when they landed on his swollen abdomen. A tender smile graced his lips and he reached over to rub it. 

Unfortunately it caused the man to stir and slowly flutter his eyes open. They adjusted a bit more trying to see who it was in the darkness. It soon became apparent to him that it was the king.

Adam: L, Lucifer?

Lucifer: Oh, my apologies Adam. I didn’t mean to wake you. I just wanted to drop by and see you before I headed to bed myself. Please go back to sleep.

Adam yawned and sat up, doing the opposite of what he was instructed to. The sheets fell down and Lucifer could see that he was wearing a short sleeping gown the same color as the curtains. It hugged his chest tightly, managing to keep them in place. He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and looked toward his master with a tired but happy smile.

Adam: You were busy today?

Lucifer: (scoffs) That is certainly one way of putting it. Didn’t help that Lilith kept making it so I couldn’t see you today. But don’t fret my love. I'll be sure to visit you first thing in the morning. We can even have breakfast in the garden.

Adam: That sounds lovely Lucifer. (Yawns) I’m sorry but I’m extremely tired, our little one has been making it so I can’t relax for one second when I’m awake, even sometimes in sleep. Can you please leave? 

If it were anyone else in the entirety of Hell who spoke to Lucifer like that, no matter how nicely, he wouldn’t have hesitated and ripped out their spine and whipped them into oblivion with it. However, this wasn’t just anyone, this was Adam, his mistress, the mother to his future child. So he simply smiled and helped him layback down and feel comfortable. 

He gently massaged his belly and sang a soothing melody. Soon his mistress’s eyes were closed as sleep took once more. Gently, as to not wake him again, placed a small kiss on the bump.

Lucifer: Daddy loves you little one. 

He moved back up and kissed him on the cheek.

Lucifer: And I love you.

He backed away letting the curtains fall as he prepared for his departure back to his chambers, but not before one quick glance back to the bed.

Lucifer: Till tomorrow my mistress

Nice Jewish Character Showdown -- Round Two Analysis

We're so back. Happy Jewish-American Heritage Month! Here are the characters that got eliminated in Round Two -- and since it's been a minute, I'm linking the polls to the contestant names.

James Wilson Status: Canon Jew Mazel tov to Wilson for making it to round two, a definite improvement from last year. In the past year I’ve actually started watching ‘House’ cause of y’all, so I think this counts as a win. And his initials literally being J.E.W. is fucking iconic.

Libby Stein-Torres Status: Canon Jew I’m so glad that the legacy of iconic Disney Channel Jewish Rep continues into the modern era. What a bop.

Fox Mulder Status: Pretty Much Canon Jew “Scully, you’re gonna wanna see this.”

Sidney Prescott Status: Transitive Jew There’s something so inherently Jewish already about the final girl narrative, especially when it’s one portrayed by a Jewish actor. Especially in the ‘Scream’ franchise, where so much of the narrative revolves around not knowing who you can trust, who’s your friend and who’s your enemy. Might be a bit melodramatic, eh. At least the transitive property can apply here, thank you Neve for this absolutely iconic line — “I am a practicing Catholic, but my lineage is Jewish, so if someone asks me if I'm Jewish, I say yes”

Bugs Bunny Status: Transitive Jew Remember how Bugs once literally saved Mel Blanc’s life when he was in a coma? What a wonderful relationship between creation and creator. We could technically expand the Transitive Property out to the rest of Blanc’s character catalogue, but there’s something so right about identifying Bugs Bunny as the representative for the Mel Blanc set.

Percy Jackson Status: Interpretive Jew This one’s a bit of a brainchild, so stick with me. Is it transitive from the (underappreciated) performance of the ICONIC Logan Lerman? Yes. Is it because of all the world-saving trauma he went through at such a young age? Yes. Is it because of the iconic motif of water in Judaism? YES. Is it the way Percy always gets blamed for trouble, even stuff he had nothing to do with? Yes. But most importantly, the chutzpah. The way he, and his friends, talk back to the Greek Pantheon. The way they question authority, and the way he in particular paves his way against the fate chosen for him. Constantly fighting for a better world, even if it’s gonna put him in more danger by pissing off some powerful people. I could talk about this for hours, so pull up a chair and start listening to the Lightning Thief musical, there WILL be an essay portion to this quiz.

Seymour Krelborn Status: Canon Jew Have you EVER seen a more nebbish horror musical male lead than Seymour?

Sharpay Evans Status: Transitive Jew Once you find out Ashley Tisdale’s Jewish, the Jewish American Princess vibes radiating off of Sharpay Evans become impossible to ignore. You just KNOW she grew up in the same Hebrew School class as Troy (another Transitive Property Jew thanks to the ICONIC Zac Efron!)

Red Dead's History: A Video Game, an Obsession, and America's Violent Past

Author: Tore C. Olsson Narrator: Roger Clark Audiobook Release Date: August 6, 2024 Length: 10 hours, 28 minutes

👇 Care to listen to a sample of this audiobook? Click on the media player below 👇

Publisher's Summary:

This program is read by Roger Clark, the iconic and award-winning full performance-capture actor of Red Dead Redemption 2's Arthur Morgan, who returns to the wildly dramatic and gritty world of the American frontier in this audiobook edition of Red Dead's History. It also features a prologue and epilogue read by the author. A pathbreaking new way to examine US history, through the lens of a bestselling video game Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption II, set in 1911 and 1899, are the most-played American history video games since The Oregon Trail. Beloved by millions, they’ve been widely acclaimed for their realism and attention to detail. But how do they fare as re-creations of history? In this engaging audiobook, award-winning American history professor Tore Olsson takes up that question and more. Weaving the games’ plots and characters into an exploration of American violence between 1870 and 1920, Olsson shows that it was more often disputes over capitalism and race, not just poker games and bank robberies, that fueled the bloodshed of these turbulent years. As such, this era has much to teach us today. From the West to the Deep South to Appalachia, Olsson reveals the gritty and brutal world that inspired the games, but sometimes lacks context and complexity on the digital screen. Colorful, fast-paced, and dramatic, Red Dead’s History sheds light on dark corners of the American past for gamers and history buffs alike.
