#Journey Reverse

[mixamorphosis]

This mix wasn't initially meant to be a guest mix for anyone, it was just a mix that I did for fun, but I shared it and was asked by Simon Cox at Saturo Sounds if they could use it for one of their shows, which I was happy for them to do.

One of the things I'm enjoying about this process of updating the blog with older mixes is that I'm listening to them as I go and rediscovering some of the tunes I've used through the years. I've got a huge library of music, in both physical and digital format, so it's really easy to lose track of things and forget what's there through the course of time. There's some great house tracks on here, and that is something else I'm finding, a fresh enjoyment for some genres I've listened to less in the last few years. Not that I lost my love of house, but it's nice to reacquaint myself.

The title came from a post I saw on social media of someone that had lots of cool and interesting tattoos, 'Vide Cor Meum' was one of them and it was done in a really nice, ornate font, which caught my eye. When I looked it up I learned that it meant 'See My Heart'. It stuck in my mind and pairing it with music and a photo of my turntable seemed like a good match.

I hate to be this person, but I am not at all into the idea that VM could “rescue” Vax from the Matron or “get him back” and force a happy ending. I find it cheap and I’m going to greatly dislike it as a storytelling choice if it happens. I think it would undermine one of the more meaningful and difficult narratives in CR and do a disservice to the story they told in 2017.

yeah dude tracing dc by publication history is the fastest way to induce a migraine and for some reason BatBooks in particular are just notoriously bad at following or obeying things going on in other books featuring said characters even tho all it would take is a one off sentence to explain it, and ESPECIALLY in Tim’s case. This is why everyone thinks he was dating Cassie and Zoe at the same time. I know it’s meant to be a half baked joke but still, he wasn’t cheating, the editorials just REFUSED to talk to each other 😭😭

"R99 has great diversity" and "R99 is a European character focused game that has a very large white to poc character ratio" are two statements that can and do co exist

Fastest Growing Fandoms on AO3 This Week (01/01/2024)

Every week I pull data on how many fics are in each fandom and compare to the previous week, then calculate the percentage increase to determine fastest growing fandoms.  Since this naturally skews towards smaller fandoms, I have included the same data filtered to Over 1k, 5k, & 10k fics.

Overall:

Over 1,000 Fics:

Over 5,000 Fics:

Guess who's late to drawing Shamane's birthday art

[ewicomkicks2point0]

Bunny Bunny is kicking YOUR ASS ‼️‼️

This drawing is more simple compared to my other fully rendered drawings [example: I hardly rendered the hair] and I actually quite like it! Took me around 8 hours which is a surprisingly short amount of time for a piece like this, finally !!! I kept thinking that I should add some more interesting stuff to this but the simplicity works really well methinks.

the doctor took donna's memories as she cried and begged him not to. she would rather die than forget. still, he robbed her of agency. he played god and betrayed her trust.

here he finds himself, lifetimes later, caught between saving a city and keeping her alive. what she wants is to give her life and save her family, save millions. why does it have to be this?

he listens this time. without argument, he returns what she lost. he honours her choice. and if she dies while he holds her, she dies remembering. smiling. the doctordonna forever.

Thinking about how Shamane and Kaalaa's stories are both about the acceptance of nature in different ways. Shamane has to learn about the rules of actual nature and the wild, and has to learn to live with it rather than go against it. While Kaalaa has to accept the true nature of a person she's known for most of her life, and how she has to stop ignoring all of the obvious signs pointing to this person being kind of terrible to not only the people around her but herself.

They were both willing to close their eyes to what was in front of them, because deep down they're both stubborn individuals, but they learn to slowly overcome that through extreme adversity. For Kaalaa she was already an extremely humble person, something that Kumar lacked incredibly, so the thing she earns from her experience isn't a new perspective on life, it's a bittersweet realization where she finally comes to terms with the fact that the person she has loved for all of her life was never the kind of person she wanted them to so desperately be. And in a way she gets to properly grieve this person who has by all means been dead for years (not literally but you know what I mean, like the idea that she built of Kumar had died when she was a child and she hadn't realized it and yeah-)

Shamane and Kaalaa are very similar in this regard, and I love all of their interactions in the Mor Pankh event. They have so much in common like the way their stories are so similar and the way it makes me just think more about this one month long event (Mor Pankh is my favorite event so far can you tell)
