Link to the Spotify Playlist is at the bottom of the post

Far From Home (The Raven) (Sam Tinnesz)

I'm sending a raven * With blood on its wings * Hoping it reaches you in time * And you know what it means

New Divide (Linkin Park)

There was nothing in sight * But memories left abandoned * There was nowhere to hide * The ashes fell like snow

Apocalypse State Of Mind (Aviators)

And I felt the world grow so much colder * As we drifted away over time * Living in the past in our apocalypse state of mind

This Is How the World Ends (Kat Leon)

This is how the world ends * Stare into the hollow sky * This is how the world ends * I'll sing you a lullaby * This is how the world ends

Dancin' In The Ruins (Blue Öyster Cult)

Tomorrow soon turns into yesterday * Everything we see just fades away * There's sky and sand where mountains used to be * Time drops by a second to eternity

United (Hidden Citizens, ft. Ranya)

Chaos has come in me now * Knocked down but not counted out * Searching for cover, cover * Trying to keep my head down * Stronger beside each other * Eyes to the sky now

The Birds Are Singing At Night (Lord Huron)

When we're dead and gone * Will the mountains remember * Or just carry on * Moving as slow as the forest grows * And turn our bones into dust * An untold legend is lighting up

Survivalist (Anica)

They say it’s the apocalypse and we’ve gotta fight for a life to live * There’s no time to run for cover * It’s another eclipse and we don’t know how it got to this * And I’m reaching out for another survivalist

Touch of Grey (Grateful Dead)

Must be getting early * Clocks are running late * Paint by number morning sky looks so phony * Dawn is breaking everywhere * Light a candle, curse the glare * Draw the curtains, I don't care 'cause it's alright

Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground) (Mike + The Mechanics)

Take the children and yourself * And hide out in the cellar * By now the fighting will be close at hand * Don't believe the church and state * And everything they tell you * Believe in me, I'm with the high command

My favourite ADHD coping mechanisms that baffles and horrifies everyone I tell about it too is ‘see and hear morse code’ looped

This youtube video has gotten me through so many work days. Theres just something about asynchronous beeping layered with music and white noise and also sometimes distant siren ambience that keeps me seated at my desk on task! Is it pleasant? Absolutely not. But its effective. 10/10

Who am I dealing with in these discussions on the veterans' modernity? I agree, I really put a lot of different musicians in the category I talk of. I mean, Rick Springfield may have had an access to the similar venues as, say, Sting at one point, but this is where their similarities end. Still, his latest works, well, work. As I have said before – he's well aware he cannot achieve the heyday of his 80's, so he does his records for … fun, I guess? Look, nothing's really wrong with them, they are just there, yet you are not insulted. Actually, you have to admire him for doing his thing – the tune on the link shows he could be a great duet partner for a nu metal band –, though I do wish he would've let himself off the leash more, his dog would be fine with that.

AMC The Terror alternate ending where the Inuit man gives Ross a stack of papers and says “this is all we found” so the ep10 end credits play over a slideshow of a series of watercolor paintings Irving and others made like in The Hangover (2009)

Songs For The End Of The World

Playlist Part Four

Part One * Part Two * Part Three

Link to the Spotify Playlist is at the bottom of the post

The Final Countdown (Europe)

We're leaving together, * But still it's farewell. * And maybe we'll come back * To Earth, who can tell?

Aftermath (Muse)

States are crumbling * Walls are rising high again * It's no place for the faint-hearted * But my heart is strong

Point of No Return (UNSECRET, ft. Sam Tinnesz)

Pins and needles, facing evil * When all lines are drawn * Screams of violence pierce the silence * Like a raven's claw

In The Passage (Dan Fogelberg)

There's a sound in the wind that blows * Through the wild mountain holds * Like the sighs of a thousand crying souls

Galaxies (Owl City)

Call back the cap com * Tick off the time bomb * Let felicity fly * Armor the air lock * Blanket the bed rock * And kiss the planet goodbye

Traveller in Time (Uriah Heep)

If I could go back the same way I got here * And see the people that I once held so near * I'd do my best to find an answer for you * But first I must wait 'til I'm set free

This Is War (Thirty Seconds to Mars)

It's the moment of truth, and the moment to lie, * The moment to live and the moment to die, * The moment to fight, the moment to fight, * To fight, to fight, to fight!

Something Wicked This Way Comes (James Warburton & Diana Haunts)

Fall down to your knees * Pray for sweet salvation * As the gloaming slowly creeps * Comes while you are sleeping * Until nothing's what it seems * There's nothing left to believe

End Of The World (Aphrodite's Child)

You should come with me to the end of the world * Without telling your parents and your friends * You know that you only need say a word * So end my play with the end of the world

Fire On the Mountain (Rob Thomas)

How do you sleep while the city's burning? * Where do you go when you can't go home? * How do you drink when there's blood in the water? * Where do you turn when the world moves on?

I just learned that the JP name of tide goes out is スミソアエの夜. Is there a pun here that I'm missing? why is it Vinagared Miso??? Very confused about it since トキメキ☆ボムラッシュ is pretty direct.

(スミソアエの夜=Night Dressed with Vinegared Miso) I think its a reference to the firefly squids of Toyama bay.

Marie's JP name is Hotaru, in reference to hotaru ika, or firefly squid. on spring nights in Toyama bay, millions of firefly squids come up from the depths to breed, and people start dropping nets for some squid dinnar 🔥🔥🔥🔥

freshly caught firefly squid with a sauce of vinegared miso is a local specialty of Toyama. So catching firefly (hotaru) squids at night and putting vinegared miso sauce on them = スミソアエの夜 ! As for the english name, my best guess is that it has to do how with how the squid get very close to shore, and get washed up when....the tide goes out. It works considering the specific vinegared miso reference isnt well known outside of japan.

The Medarda arc of s2 struggled to be good, because the plot viciously smothered it. You can argue that Arcane was never about politics but you cannot say the Medardas were never explicitly a family defined by politics. So when the show shifted it's priorities from a drama steeped in political conflict where even though the setting was fantastical the stakes were grounded to a shift where magic is the end all be all threat to humanity, the Medardas are rendered largely irrelevant.

In s2 Mel's agency over her own story is both largely stripped from her and poorly communicated. Arcane has Mel abducted from the plot to be the Black Rose's captive. Even when Mel manages to free herself it's not through the traits the audience understands are her strengths, her cunning and social intelligence, it's through an innate instinct that natural to her and indecipherable to the audience.

Ambessa as a character is more or less a villain of convenience, which would be fine if she wasn't immediately following Silco's act. Once Mel is removed from the story Ambessa is largely disconnected from any emotional tension fuels conflict between the characters and previously drove the plot in s1. She's there to play the worse bad guy for Caitlyn and then give Viktor the man power for the Glorious Evolution.

It's frustrating to see the Medardas used the way they are in s2 because when they're together I can see how it could be good. When they're together Mel forces emotion out of Ambessa. In Act 1, Ambessa proved she could do circles around Piltover's court, which could actually put Mel in a tight spot.

Their final scene on paper sounds like a good idea where the true resolution to Mel and Ambessa's story was that Ambessa saw Mel's own ruthless behavior as she not only betrayed Ambessa to the Black Rose, but used her as BAIT to double cross LeBlanc. Ambessa died proud that her daughter killed her the way she did, and that's so cool and tragic, but the execution was a flop.

One, their final fight is completely unimportant to the actual Glorious Evolution, Mel's grief can't even be a highlight because it's interrupted by Viktor's mind trap. Two, their fight didn't rely on any of Mel's actual strengths, just magic and the poorly explained MacGuffin LeBlanc gave her. How did Mel even know it would do that?

It's like the writers had the bones for a great story for the Medardas, but then they're like the world's worst archeologists and fit those bones together in the worst way possible because they were convinced the bones made a stegasaurus instead of a T-rex or something.
