10 Songs Tag

Finally, a tag game I can finally be in despite lacking any WIP to speak of! Thank you, @raiswanson (Also, fantastic taste with Undertale)!

Fortunately, even though this isn’t a writing specific tag game, I will use songs that are connected to my writing and how so.

Rules: Write down 10 songs you’re currently obsessed with, then tag 10 people.

1) The Second One by Machinae Supremacy

Out of so many songs I listen to, The Second One has a dear place in my head. I love its beat and, like so many other Machinae Supremacy songs, I love its lyrics. This is where I think the vocalist truly shines, whereas he’s rather divisive in every other song.

This song fits a certain sort of character. A character who is tormented by the harm they’ve wrought and that they’re capable of. But they’re working through it, thanks to the people that believe in them. People who are actually capable of good, who aren’t inflicted by the same vices they are. But this character wants to be like that as well. Although they’re not “The One”, they can be a hero all the same.

2) Perfect by Ed Sheeran (with Beyonce)

Oh don’t give me that. I’m a sucker for a good romance and, cross my heart and hope to die, Ed Sheeran utterly nails the tear jerking, heartfelt love between two people. Beyonce, albeit a bit questionable at times, is the second one (tee hee, puns) and gives the story of the song its second leading role that compounds the message better than anyone alone could.

To define a good romance is hard for me but Ed Sheeran sings it better than I can say it. That said, I like to believe I’m a better writer than that so I’ll at least say this: everything you’ve heard about love being the most powerful thing in the world is true, for better or worse. It drives you to act, it drives you to care, and it drives you to want. But there’s something important about that last point; it drives you to want not just for your sake, but for the people you love.

3) Silent Melody by Working For A Nuclear Free City

Like inFAMOUS itself, this song makes me feel empowered. The lyrics and instrumentals alike conduct throughout my body. At last, I believe, I feel like I have the entirety of God’s power coursing through my arms. What’s important here isn’t that the song sounds as much or says as much; it’s that it feels as much. The song is, most importantly of all, visceral. 

If you ever want to tell of a story of a godlike being, or someone who believes their power is as such, this song is a perfect fit. Put it on repeat for eight hours and get writing.

4) I’m Born To Run by American Authors

Many thanks to @brynprocrastinates for introducing me to this song. This is basically the musical version of a character running down a hill in a verdant valley and then leaping off a cliff only to fly high above the nearby town. It starts off good and pumping but it’s after the second chorus that it really shines, coming to life with truly electrifying energy that makes me feel unstoppable.

This song is perfect for a traveller on an epic adventure, preferably not a grimdark one. Who truly enjoys the freedom of travel and the wind beneath their wings as they take flight.

On that note...

5) Don’t Worry by Hiroyuki Sawano

Goodness gracious, does this song come late in the game. Not only do you have to get a Skell, which is at least 20 hours into Xenoblade Chronicles X, but then you have to get the bloody flight module, which is about double the way through the game. I’ve had exams that didn’t feel like they lasted that long. But that’s the wonder of it; as they say, a pleasure delayed is a pleasure magnified. And once you’ve fought and struggled and worked to get that flight module and you go on your maiden voyage, this beautiful song plays.

There’s a contrast between this entry and the last; while I’m Born To Run fits well with the commencement of a journey, Don’t Worry has no better place to be than the journey’s zenith, when you peak above the clouds and see the heavens and be among them, and it is beautiful.

6) Further by LifeForce

DAMN THIS FIVE VIDEO LIMIT!

Oh whatever. I discovered this song at the end credits of the freeware game Iji and I fell in love for morbidly depressing reasons. What a perfect yet awful time for the song to play. Make no mistake; it’s not bleak, since you’re definitely making progress, but it’s to a deep darkness. Worse yet, you want to go there. There is something there that will save you by dooming the both of you.

It’s a very nihilistic song but with a sense of progress. Never did I think I’d hear something like that.

7) With Me by All Ends

Of course it’s a Sonic song. The series has a bad reputation for its gameplay and a stellar reputation for its soundtracks. With Me from Sonic and the Black Knight is no exception; this absolutely atrocious game has one of the best final boss themes for the series. The vocals are from the viewpoint of the villain, who has their reasons for doing the things they do but it’s clear they cannot be allowed to continue.

We say villains are more than monsters. Villains are heroes of their own stories, with their own reasons and motivations. This is a gracious mercy we offer them but With Me makes it perfectly clear: they do not offer such mercy to heroes in kind. They will fight, they will fight hard, and heroes must answer them.

8) Jet Set Run by Yuki Hayashi

There are very few things I can say about this track that other people haven’t, and better at that, but this truly is a fantastic song for fist-pumping heroic moments. Seriously, there are analyses of this song. Look for them.

9) Welcome to the Show by Britt Nicole

No, this song has absolutely nothing to do with that My Little Pony song by the same name. However, I LOVE this song. It is as energetic as all get out and it’s like a theatre and a rock concert inside a giant hamster ball rolling down the Mountain of Doom towards the Fortress of Doom. 

Whenever I think about a light-hearted adventure story featuring a cast predominantly full of girls, I think of this song. I think of that cast kicking arse without angsting and without worrying about their bad guys who are unambiguously evil but lightly so like Lord Hater. Just them, bad guys, and a whole lot of fun. I love this song.

10) Kryptonite (AOL Session) by 3 Doors Down

Yes, this version takes the final slot instead of the normal radio version. This song, this version, is my most favourite song of all time. This version specifically captures the desperation, the loneliness, and the sheer powerlessness one feels as they try to do the right thing. But it’s something worth doing even while it’s destroying you.

This song inspires my visions of heroism. Both Renna Gonn and Destiny Pride take cues from this, albeit in very different ways.

Alles over Gijinka

My Little Pony Gijinka art – DeviantArt artist Moemai https://moemai.deviantart.com/gallery/27729534/Fanarts   

Steeds vaker zien we de term ‘gijinka’  voorbij komen in de cosplaywereld, maar wat betekent het nou eigenlijk? Heel simpel gezegd is gijinka (萌人え) een Japanse term voor ‘de menselijke representatie van een dierlijk, of op een dier gebaseerd, karakter’. In cosplay gaat gijinka vaak verder dan menselijke trekjes geven aan een dier, maar is het een re-design van het karakter in een menselijke vorm. 

In Japan wordt deze techniek al een lange tijd als marketing tool gebruikt, vaak om een producten als schattige anime-stijl meisjes of karakters neer te zetten. Het vermenselijken van producten en objecten, in plaats van dierlijke karakters, wordt ook wel anthromorphism genoemd. Dit is een term die afstamt van het Grieks en het eerste (geregistreerde) gebruik van de term was in 1753.  

We zien in cosplay verschillende franchises die erg populair zijn als het gaat om gijinkas. Een paar hiervan zijn Pokémon, My Little Pony, Digimon en de Studio Ghibli karakters. Pokémon is waarschijnlijk het meest voorkomend, en met meer dan 800 Pokémon om uit te kiezen is dit ook niet zo gek, er is eindeloos veel inspiratie.

  Mix & Match Nu cosplay steeds breder wordt en steeds meer mensen er kennis mee maken, is de kans dat iemand dezelfde cosplay draagt op een conventie groter. Met gijinka kun je een origineel kostuum neerzetten die nog steeds herkenbaar is voor de fans van de franchise en andere bezoekers van de conventie.   Vaak zijn gijinka ontwerpen een mix van verschillende stijlen. Zo kun je een armoured versie van Pokémons zoals Charizard of Goldeen maken, een lolita versie van Totoro, een playboy bunny Eevee Evolutions groep of een meer dagelijkse, een menselijke weergave van een My Little Pony. De materialen en stijlen zijn dus niet vastgelegd en je kunt er alle kanten mee uit. Het belangrijkste is dat je de kleuren van en eventuele kenmerken - staart, vleugels, wapens - op een of andere manier doorvoert in je kostuum zodat het herkenbaar blijft als het karakter dat jij hebt gekozen.

Wil je inspiratie opdoen voor een gijinka cosplay, dan kun je veel vinden online. Veel artiesten op DeviantArt en Facebook/Instagram maken deze ontwerpen voor zichzelf of als commissions voor bepaalde cosplayers. Er is bijvoorbeeld ook een Pokémon Gijinkadex (http://imgur.com/a/DDxvd/layout/blog#fyxzq) waar je veel inspiratie kunt opdoen. Check altijd bij de artiest of je een ontwerp mag cosplayen, als dit er niet bij staat. Maar de keuze online is zo groot, wil je een sexy, stoere of schattige gijinka, het kan allemaal.  

Naast je eigen ontwerp maken of laten maken, kun je ook twee franchises mixen. Bijvoorbeeld: Pokémon en Game of Thrones of Star Wars, of Moomins en Disney Prinsessen, de combinaties zijn eindeloos. Het mixen van karakters wordt echter vaak als een mash-up gezien en niet als gijinka, omdat één van de karakters al menselijke trekken heeft. Hierdoor zal de cosplay altijd een menselijke versie van het dierlijke karakter zijn.
