Still hurting over this.

Fight me but the best version of the Ballad of the Witches Road is Agatha Through Time.

Maybe it’s the layered vocals, the exploration of time periods through costumes (a genius with such thoughtfulness that deserves a long post in itself), Kathryn Hahn just HANDING it to the world with her acting like “What??? How could this possibly happen???” In that moment the two felt inseparable, it was so undeniable and palpable that THIS character is her creation, her passion and love, all the while doing it with such ease. Agatha is oozing charisma and power and treachery as we watch her cover and bury her pain of losing Nicky and betrayal by Rio as the centuries fly by.

Compared to the rest of the episode, where saw her at her tenderest, loving, and eagerest, we are physically watching a mask build. The wound doesn’t heal but is hidden as Agatha Harkness hardens into a new persona that disguises the ugly, gaping, scared memory that is her son and ex lover. By the time the song reaches the present, her current coven, it feels that much more fake and egregiously performative than the act itself already is. Or rather, Agatha does.

Musically it feels so charged and layered, voices building out from familiar ones as you realize just how expansive this has become, just how many witches have fallen into Agatha’s scheme. Like every witch who ever participated is being heard. It also has this unexpected playful element, like little bells in the chorus as Agatha (dressed in the iconic 1940’s ensemble) does a little shimmy with the music. A reminder that despite being this large, building, impactful crescendo, to Agatha? This is still all a game. The voices convey a raw wanton desire to run, to seize fistfuls of time and power.

Or maybe…it’s the realization that it HAS been Agatha All Along

For what it's worth, I think Campaign 3 suffers when compared to, to put it bluntly, pretty much anything else Critical Role has ever put out, as well as most actual play that I've watched/listened to. But I think it uniquely suffers when juxtaposed with a narrative that says "if you do not make rapid decisions you and others around you will die; if you spend too much time whining about how it's unfair that you are called to make these decisions, including ones that might challenge you, you and others around you will die; and if you do not above all prioritize community and deal with threats to that community - and expand your understanding of community to be a very broad one - you will be destroyed." It was jarring and hypocritical to watch Campaign 3's defenders who had been calling for the gods to be slaughtered for much of the campaign suddenly spin around and praise Bells Hells for finding [having handed to them] the nonviolent option because that's actually always the best one, don't you know; and I think EXU Divergence challenges not just that ideal but the concept that there's a universal solution. Sometimes the right thing is to hide; sometimes it's necessary to commit violence to prevent further violence. Sometimes the right thing is to secretly eat some of the cheese yourself to prevent you from dying; sometimes it's to be on the lookout for someone trying to take more of their share in a resource-limited community and to stop them. Sometimes the right thing is to carry others; sometimes it's to give them to someone stronger and more able. And above all, many of these choices will be extremely unfair and difficult and put you at risk, and you do still have to make them, and soon.

I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :

-

(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )

could i know about elise hug? :]

Im not on my laptop so i can take the sketch screens (´•̥ω•̥｀)

But in summary it's a small analysis on Mori & the exploration of his relationship with Chuuya in the mafia. It will take place between the days Dazai left.

Chuuya being unwell & Mori wanting to comfort him but being unable to do so for his status & image as boss of the port mafia, so instead Elise will be the one that goes give Chuuya the hug, since she has the liberty to do so.

How do you go about finding/reading fics?

Personally, when I get into something, I'll go through a list of fanfic sites and read all the summaries and pick what sounds interesting, then every few weeks I observed the tag again if I'm still interested. Sometimes I stumble upon them on tumblr, iirc thats how I found yours. Art -> Fic.

Now, while I haven't finished the new Mond murder quest, lack of voices and the weird ost for the trial put me off a tad, I don't have a decent idea of Dahlia but still shouldn't really be all that surprised at the Dahlia/Venti but there are so many in so little time, god speed.

it depends on my investment in the ship. when i first start i just go to the ao3 ship tag and scroll down in order of most recent. if the chronological order is too slow to get new interesting fics for my rate of reading, then i sort by bookmarks in a separate tab and go down the list, checking back in on the chronological order every once in a while

i don't touch any other sites nowadays unless i'm really desperate. i just know that if i go to wattpad i'm gonna end up both frustrated and just reading can't eat love again for the like. nth time.

hello cc folks does anyone else get like deeply uncomfortable and upset when modern/post-2021 entertainment media (tv shows, youtube vids, music, etc.) mentions/talks about covid because it is never ever ever covid conscious/competent. covid needs to be talked about so much more but i have rarely seen it done in a way that doesn't make me literally want to throw up

The beginning is the end is the beginning…

New, tear-jerker comm for Chapter 45 Streets of Gold 🥹

Here is the very first scene I envisioned; this is where it all began, though it was the end. See my Ch 45 end notes for the dissertation on this piece 😆

THANK YOU, Sin (ratinthemud on X) for bringing this magical moment to life 🙏♥️🥲
