okay 1) have many emotions about this

2) the temptation to try and play that to see what it sounds like is very strong rn

If I had a nickel for every piece of media I was currently consuming in which the "normal guy" protagonist went ham on an antagonist in order to get very personal revenge tied to their family... I would have at least four nickels.

without giving away spoilers for the new vengeance saga from epic: the musical --

man, the second half of "six hundred strike" sure fits percy de rolo against orthax or sylas briarwood a little too well

i made this post yesterday, before the last three eps of tlovm s3, and now that i've watched those episodes, i find myself more or less in the same place. there are a number of things about this season that i did not enjoy. the pacing. the attack on whitestone. percy's attempted redemption of ripley. the lack of the bard's lament. there are a number of things i loved. the vaxleth developments. keyleth's next step on her aramenté. that sick-ass fight on the boat. the perc'ahlia fwb shenanigans. i don't begrudge anyone who was disappointed by s3, or by tlovm as a whole, and i don't begrudge anyone who loves this show.

i think one thing that i am relieved by when i see other critters' posts about tlovm is that it's so clear to me that everyone is approaching this show wanting to love it. no one's coming into this expecting to hate it, looking for things to shit on. being disappointed sucks, but i do think it's better than going into something expecting to hate it. i didn't expect to hate s3, and i don't. i like it. it's fine.

but i like how it got us talking. i like how it reminded me of all the things i loved of c1. i like how, when they had the time and resources and foresight to do so, these people whose creative brains i envy created a story that i believe and hope they're proud of. they didn't create the story the way i would, but that's okay. i still like seeing what those nerds did, and what they're gonna do next.

as i said in yesterday's post, i simply cannot expect this handful of half-hour episodes to do for me what hundreds of hours of c1 did for me. it's a ridiculous ask. i can only ask this show to be entertaining, which it is, and to tell a compelling story about characters i love, which it does. it doesn't do so perfectly, and the large majority of the storytelling critiques i've seen (why the FUCK is percy attempting to redeem someone who slaughtered his hometown for the SECOND time less than twenty-four hours ago???) are valid and worth talking about. i hope that some of them make their way back to the cr/tlovm team, and changes can be made for s4. but i am still choosing to like the show as a whole, and to have fun with it. it is fun. it's messy and clunky and weirdly paced, but it's still a good time, and i'm grateful for it. more than that, i'm glad that this thing that i love has gotten to reach new audiences, and that the people i admire are getting the recognition they deserve as unparalleled storytellers. so, i'm happy tlovm exists, i'm looking forward to s4, and i'm hoping they stick the landing.

EVERYBODY MOVE THEY RELEASED THE SOUNDTRACK

GO GO GO

[aspiringsophrosyne]

Just a reminder for those who have Prime: The Legend of Vox Machina comes with several language dubs besides English (Including Latin American Spanish, European Spanish, German, European French, Canadian French, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, Hindi, Japanese and Thai) and in most cases this includes not just dubs of the dialogue but covers of the songs that occasionally show up at the end of episodes.

This was also the case for the songs in Season 2. You haven't lived until you've listened to When the Bald Man Cries in multiple languages. The German actors were really getting into it; made it sound like a drinking song.

Why not give those a listen? My favorites for 3x02's song besides English are Italian and French Canadian. The FC version hits those harmonies, let me tell you.
