When you realize you're not Stolas and there will be no Blitzø in your life and you're just stuck with Stella forced to suffer in silence till your cells give out and your existence fades...

My heart is fractured like my mind. Deluding myself into so many fictional romances. Is there no bottom level of pain? Will the wreckage of my heart further burn in these fires of hope that just won't die? Am I doomed to yearn eternally? So hot, so cold, this is the pain of that true reality that there are no yanderes, no true love, no being whisked away... Just mountains of regret and ceaseless suffering...

Würdah Ïtah.

Proof that Frisk from Undertale is actually an homage to Christian Vander, the lead singer of Magma.

I need to write a mini essay about zeuhl its such a fascinating and underrated music genre and i wanna talk about it + i wanna write more and i think writing little essays and rambles about music could rly help me get better at writing

I have to bring up the obvious. There are no yanderes. We listen to the asmr, we eat up the scant media portrayals, and we consume the fan media to get a taste of having someone obsessed with us... Whole communities can arise from pronouncing oneself a yandere because they are just obsessive.

But, are any of them yanderes as portrayed in the media? No. Chances are, we are all just alone or with broken hearts reaching out and the worst kicker is that the harder you grasp or reach the more you do to push away.

A real yandere, or at least as far as can be real, probably doesn't even know the term. A real one out in that big wide world likely has a criminal record. And how many of those times have they actually been known to be associated with people who wanted them?

It's by our very pining that we destroy our dreams. As if Gatsby was on a drifting boat rather than a dock reaching towards his green light.

We always say we want love but how many times do we address the difficult question of whether we deserve it or not. I so badly want to be the sun and the moon to someone and yet... What do I even offer to even be so important to anyone?

My heart has been broken time and time again. I thought at least having someone there even if they didn't love you would be enough but I've learned its very much the opposite because you crawl your way out of the pit of despair only to slide deeper in and destroy your grasping points out effectively becoming trapped...

I am Nerevarine because Almalexia will always keep me away from Azura. Azura, guide me out of my chains, save me from this prison of my devising. I don't deserve it but I crave love, just as anyone else.

Magma's De futura isn't my favourite song, but i do think it's the best song to ever exist.

Like it's one of those things where if i where to list reasons why music is awesome De futura would not just be on the list but also the fact that the artform was able to produce De futura, its that fucking good.

Welp, goodbye separation of church and state and other beloved founding values. The Christians got their dream come true. And I'm fucking stuck, so like, zoinks. I ain't pretending to believe anything, if I'm about to get targeted by an anti-American theological campaign, so be it. But quite frankly, the second that wall of separation is demolished, it's the second it stopped really being the US as the founders entailed. The dream is dead, the experiment is set to fail, it was great while it lasted, but of course the big red flags weren't enough to dissuade anyone apparently.

Did we really forget what happened 4 years ago? Are we seriously this blind to our past that we will repeat our mistakes? Ffs this guy ran his campaign on tariffs... Literally the worst tax reform anyone can plan as shown by history. This is literal insanity. We had a chance to fix things. But this? Really? This is the solution we chose? Someone who doesn't even hold a Bible correctly as protestors got trampled by a cavalry that was oddly absent the following Janurary? Someone who has very clearly fed into the desires of the Christian Nationalists with past picks like Betsy Devos for secretary of Education? Someone whose partner quite literally participated in a lengthy worded document detailing the empowering of the executive branch?

Is our constitution not sacred anymore? Does anyone even really care what bold minds like Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin, and the likes stood for or what they envisioned for our nation? My disgust in the current state of affairs is immense, my hope is diminished, wurdah ïtah officially.

On this day, let it be known that America saw the plight of itself, of its own children, of the plight of the children of both Israel and Gaza, that America saw the burning fires of the forests of Colorado and California, saw the relief that international programs like NOAA can bring to Hurricanes like Helene, and even saw the privileges, which really should have been rights, stripped of them by an out of control supreme court...

And America said,

"I don't care."

Makes sense, most of you think some magical disembodied voice will just fix any problem any way with all the arrogance of a puddle that thinks the hole it formed in was made just for it. I'm glad Douglas Adams and Carl Sagan are spared the horror of witnessing one of the world's richest nations taking such a steep turn. We can only hope the damage will be contained but such a hope is a vain one for there is no way America can just exit the world stage without massive ripples on both ends... Wurdah ïtah.

I need to get another good ramble out:

Most people, when they think of psychedelic music, will probably think The Beatles, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Iron Butterfly, or maybe Led Zeppelin. But few bands took psychedelic to the level that Magma did.

Magma was a French group led by drummer Christian Vander, founded in 1969 (nice) to express Vander’s disturbing “vision of humanity’s spiritual and ecological future”. As such their music is loosely psychedelic/prog/space rock with a hell of an emphasis on the story: Each album the band produced is part of the epic Kobaïa story: humanity flees a doomed earth to find a new habitable planet. They land on the planet Kobaïa. Over thousands of years, a Kobaïan culture develops, and runs into conflict with the earth refugees who are only just now arriving.

Now things get fun: Vander determined that English and French weren’t good enough languages to describe and express the story he had in his mind, so he CREATED HIS OWN LANGUAGE called Kobaïan, a mix of German and Slavic sounds that Vander felt had the right guttural feel for the musical sounds he was writing. And EVERY ALBUM THE BAND HAS PRODUCED IS IN THIS LANGUAGE!

The language was so instrumental to the band and their sound that their avant/prog/space psychedelic rock style was eventually called zeuhl, from the Kobaïan word for “celestial” or “vibratory”, and Vander says even the way you say the word should express that vibratory sensation.

Zeuhl is now a term used by several other bands, though how well they actually meet the Magma style of zeuhl is debatable.

Artists as varied as Johnny Rotten, Steven Wilson, Mikael Åkerfeldt, and Alejandro Jodorowsky are listed by Wikipedia as fans of Magma.

So enough of that; here’s their music: please note their songs are rarely under 10 minutes, and can go well over 20 minutes, so make sure you get comfy first

This should do for now. Enjoy the absolute weirdness
