He sketches “The Soul of an Officer,” which suggests that in order to forget about fear and death, the officer focuses on

ABT Summer Season

Onegin - June 18, 2024

Woolf Works - June 28, 2024

Swan Lake - July 6, 2024

I go to so much NYCB (ugh what a boring brag, I'm sorry) that I sometimes forget ABT is our premier ballet company on this side of the Atlantic.

And then I see something as divine as this year's Onegin and it obliterates the other company from memory. This Onegin is what you think ballet is, what you think you're going to get every time you see Swan Lake. Classical but timeless, sumptuous, acrobatic and, most of all, so moving. So, so much credit to a ravishing Christine Shevchenko as Tatiana and her crackling, palpable chemistry with Cory Stearns (I've never enjoyed him so much). I ate my heart out, clearly.

Swan Lake was good. I did not pick a good seat this time. Well, I picked 3 good seats and 1 bad and gave the 3 good ones to my 3 guests, one of whom afterward said "I just don't think ballet is my thing." Wtf. Anyway, from the second row of box 12 you could not see Siegried making the ultimate sacrifice. For all I know Odette is still a swan and that mf went ahead and married von Rothbart. I guess what im saying is that this performance was not compelling enough to overcome bad seating. I did NOT go to the performance where Chloe Misseldine got promoted to principal on stage, which by all accounts was enrapturing and strong evidence that what the people want is performer-forward companies with reality TV levels of access....a debate for another forum.

Woolf Works closes my spring of Woolf (following The Hours opera at the same theatre). I don't know if the fertility hormones I was taking at the time were responsible (ugh) but I was not in a good mood when I came in and the mood was not lifted by this ballet. It was not boring, but it was...incoherent. And I don't think you can blame that on the stream of consciousness source material. The most successful ballet was We Not I, and it was almost destroyed by the ham-fisted Tron-inspired aural coulorings of Richter's score. Richter is like....so literal. I just don't find his music interesting. Unforch the rest of this ballet was equally literal when it even bothered to nod to source material I'm afraid it did not understand. What a disappointment. Visually, I admit, it was quite striking. It just doesn't work as ballet.

Nevertheless! It's exciting to see new ballet, and especially to see it get the rigor of a world class ballet company, and though I thought this ballet was *whispers* quite bad, I hope we get some more.

You know what would be funny? If I drew Mytho's/Siegried's DnD comic before I even finish his character design.

The Lost Generation

It’s a good title isn’t it? If I’m feeling wistful, it evokes mist rolling in across war graves and Siegried Sassoon poems; most other times it just gives me an ear worm of “Blank Generation” by Richard Hell and the Voidoids. It’s a phrase I’ve heard a lot over the past three years because it actually applies specifically to me. Well, not just me, that would be really weird and narcissistic , but…

also i have no idea what my main team is gonna be but this is the gang at the moment

Kor just FEELS like he’d be an Alolan Raichu does this make sense. & I dont think the grubbin line is THE pokemon Karine would be if she were pokemon mystery dungeon’d, but it works well enough. Also Kor would think Shadow is the coolest guy ever he’d remind him of Siegri——-

[yanderefairyangel]

Yeah

It's an opera of Wagner where he made Siegline and Sigurd, Siegried's parent, twins falling in love with each other and all the terrible consquences it created.

Funnily enough, the fandom points to those each time someone want to make a point about Eirika and Ephraim's weapon having "subtext"

What are your thoughts on Genealogy and Thracia's stories ?

Ok so keep in mind I only finished Genealogy for now (Thracia chapter 15)

Genealogy isn't bad but I didn't felt every invested into the story and I can say it's overrated for what it is like... the fandom treat is as if it was the best story of the franchise or the Volsung saga in anime chess form but... it's just ok ? The first part is essentially just Gugurd conquering territories by accident, important stuff such as the romance with Deirdre are rushed and I am positive that it's mainly because of the Behalla twist that its regarded in such high regards by the fandom but that twist didn't impacted me as much as it should. I think the Gen 2 act is slightly better, it has more narrative higlights and feel more focused but even then it's nothing like the fandom portrays it. It's not a bad story and most of the problem it has mainly comes from how old it is but if you listen to the fans when playing it you are going to feel disappointed.

Thracia's story however doesn't get praised enough : It's so good.

I still need to finish it but so far it's been very good.

In the continuing tradition of Mecha Musume, Aoshima’s ACKS line of kits is putting out a mecha-girl version of the Siegfried from Macross Delta. What’s really neat about this kit is how it accommodates the whole transforming gimmick in addition to the anime-girl integration, with her riding it in Gerwalk mode and being a separate entity in jet mode before wearing the thing as power-armor for the ‘robot’ mode. There’s just a bit more thought and play-value put into it than your average robo-girl toy, and it seems much cooler for that. Definitely worth a look, especially if they end up doing more.

Siegfried: El bosque

Fui contratado para la caza de una manada de lobos grises cercana a los bosques de Lindell. Nunca hay problemas con los lobos en el lugar ya que lentamente se han acostumbrado a las personas pero en los últimos tres meses se han adentrado en las granjas y matado a las ovejas y vacas algo sin precedentes al menos en la historia actual del pueblo. La recompensa como tal es poca, sin embargo no me…

Fakir: ok yeah I’ll call you “Prince” then. Everything’s better than SIEGFRIED.

I thought it was weird that Fakir called him “Prince” in the goodbye scene because it never felt like he did that before?? or maybe my memory is mush, actually that’s very likely
