also known as ”local woman is roused to learn editing to deliver everyone this fandom classic” (the video's synced better on desktop)

transcription/video description under the cut:

[video description: a fan video/edit of amc’s ”interview with the vampire” by tumblr user @eternalstateofoctober (me!!) set to a shortened version of lenka’s ”everything at once”. the video clips are cut to the rhythm of the song and its changing lyrics. the song is catchy and upbeat with a light, bouncy rhythm and a whimsical but also slightly melancholic vibe at times. it has a steady beat with repeating piano notes and some xylophone. the video clips are muted so only the song is playing, save for a few voiceover lines and sound effects.

(instrumental intro, repeating piano notes)

the théâtre des vampires orchestra starts playing and another member checks the projector. a watermark with the username @eternalstateofoctober flashes on screen and disappears at the same time as a projector light flickers.

VO Madeleine: ”mais j'ai survécu.” (”but i survived” in french). shots of madeleine’s past, the trial by mob. extreme close-up of her crying face, the angry crowd surrounding her, her screaming while her hair is shorn. the segment ends with her throwing an iron through her shop window where a group of locals has just painted a swastika. sound effect of glass shattering.

ROADIE PLEASSEEE TELL ME YOUR DAYBREAK TOWN CREATION MYTH IDEA PLEASEEEEE i’ll tell u mine 🥺

okaaayy I don’t have this completely sorted out in detail or fact checked bc it’s [checks watch] 3am but here’s my very quick lore speedrun

1) Daybreak Town was a normal village once. (Sort of?)

A small village by the sea surrounded by mountains…the Master lived there when he was young. Born with the power of foresight and the power to draw keyblades from people’s heart, he created the first keyblade wielding society in a world that was united, but constantly threatened by darkness. DT was meant to be a stronghold against darkness, and it was the battleground for the first keyblade wars. But according to the story he tells Luxu, things went awry and he lost a lot of those fellow wielders to darkness. There were several failed attempts, and all of them were lost causes. So…

2) The MoM nukes Daybreak Town

The place is teeming with darkness. No use fighting. Using No Name and Master’s Defender, the MoM transforms DT, destroying everything and starting over, rebuilding DT from scratch. DT will be a stronghold for the light again, but better. He has a new experiment to run, this time with a focus on children, who are more effective in preserving the light

3) Kids get yoinked (for the greater good)

The MoM gathers kids from the surrounding areas (across what I like to call The Genesis Sea region) by convincing their parents to give them away, or they’re just stolen (I talk more about this here [pg 2-3]). Their memories of their home lives get erased and they’re essentially raised as child soldiers from then on.

4) Launching Daybreak Town version 2.0

The MoM fortifies DT. No one is allowed in or out. Things have to go according to plan this time. The world has to end in order for darkness to be subdued. With his foresight, he writes the Book of Prophecies and sets it up to project holograms of other worlds so light can be collected and the kids can be trained to get stronger.

and there ya have it, a weird town that’s basically one big experiment that no one even knows about. The beginning of one big calculated strategy by the MoM to get darkness under control, at least for a few centuries, give or take.

Bug please pleeeaasse tell me what you were thinking too!! DT is so weird. I’m sure there are like 100 different ways to go about making lore for it

ok so we have one job this banner and one job only, which is to get jingliu in like 3 pulls, alright? last week i did not play cause ✨academia✨, I spent the last banner getting acheron 3 times and not getting her light cone in spite of endless pulling… I am not willing to spend a single dime, and yet with delusion as my only guide, I believe I can get this done. We have to manifest people. We have to make things happen, ok?

[snuggledupblanketdragon]

kinda been in the mood where I wanna lay down and take on and off naps for ten years but I know that if I do that I’ll just feel worse so I try to get up and do things but then I still feel bad while doing them and I end up laying down anyway I’m feeling something but I don’t know what am I sad angry disappointed bored I’m just so unmotivated to do anything I wanna get up I wanna get out but I don’t want to deal with everything that comes with that I wanna see my friend but I know they’re busy I wanna talk but I never have anything interesting to say I feel like there is a void inside me and I want it gone but I don’t think filling it up will help

[livvyofthelake]

the other thing about the red white royal blue movie. and i’m sorry i keep bringing it up while annoyingly insisting i don’t really care. it’s just that tiktok keeps showing me little edits and i don’t have the heart to click not interested on that sad little blonde boy i mean like i’d rather see these edits than about 60% of the rest of the garbage they throw on my fyp. anyway the other thing about this movie that i find so charming is that that blonde boy looks soooo sad i kinda love him what if he has kit herondale swag. idk we’ll see on that one but what if right? also the other thing is that i just recently found out that same guy was in the military propaganda netflix movie purple hearts…. like help thats so funny…..

[hamiltonvi]

[burningivy]

[andi-is-bored]

guys i’m scared there’s a ton of nimona content on my page and i haven’t read the graphic novel or watched the movie AND IM TRYING TO AVOID SPOILERS UNTIL I CAN GO TO MY LOCAL COMIC SHOP TO BUY THE BOOK! because we support small local businesses in this household so go order a burrito from your local mexican restaurant and give your server a nice tip if they are nice. i’m gonna go sleep and dream of snails and markiplier and scenarios of me actually talking to people about my interests and not cringing at myself internally. :)

[crowcryptid]

Getting locked in the soundproof chamber again would fix me tbh

[autism-disco]
