Until They're Not Black Sails Musical Parallels | XVII. XXXIII. XXXIV.

music variation note: the second, third, and fifth scenes are in a lower key.

I spent a year rewatching Black Sails and tracking all the bits of music that repeated at any point during the show, and my findings are reinforcing that Bear McCreary is a genius and this show should have been called 'parallels that will kill you over and over again'* (tag | chronological)

Round 4 Poll 5

Rosohna, Wildemount: Rosohna is the capital of the Kryn Dynasty in Xhorhas. Due in part to the sunlight sensitivity of its majority-drow population, the city’s mages maintain a blanket of eternal night in the sky above the city. This magical effect is seen as a hallmark of the Kryn Dynasty, especially as it is also cast at contentious points along the Dwendalian border to reduce the disadvantage to drow soldiers fighting during the day. Rosohna is built on the ruins of the calamity-era city Ghor Dranas, the capital of the betrayer gods’ alliance during this conflict. Sometimes Rosohna is still erroneously called Ghor Dranas, especially by political opponents of the Dynasty. Rosohna is the centre of the Dynasty’s secret religion worshiping the Luxon.

Aeor: Aeor was a pre-calamity flying city known for its anti-god sentiments and military aggression. It was destroyed in the war, and its ruins landed scattered on the inhospitable islands of Eiselcross. The Mighty Nein explored the ruins extensively during the Weird Magic arc towards the end of their story. In recent years, artifacts dug out of the ruins have been traded around Exandria, including sentient automatons Devexian, FRIDA, and Fresh Cut Grass of Bells Hells.

Scrapper (2023)

Summary: Twelve-year-old Georgie (Lola Campbell) lives alone after her mother's death, going to school, stealing bikes with her best mate Ali (Alin Uzun), and fobbing off social services. Her life is disrupted, however, when her father (Harris Dickinson) enters it.

Neat little British drama that deserves wider release. Train station scene sweet, some very funny moments, Campbell an absolute find.

Rating: 4.5/5

crookedxhill submitted this photo with the comment “This was taken by my friend Fae at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia.”

Here we have another attempt by a submitter to conceal the fact that the goth is clearly out on a sunny day by making the photo greyscale.  I appreciate that they went to all that effort to select a filter, but I’m afraid points must be deducted.  I will not be tricked, swindled, cheated!  I have eyes and a lot of greyscale-filter induced fury, apparently.

Our goth is a good height up their cemetery tree and they’re not smiling. They’re wearing a fetching outfit and accessories. I enjoy the footwear-highlighting pose so the boots are displayed to their full advantage. I have boot envy. Bonus points for the cemetery and excellent boots.

4.5 out of 5 - Someone on twitter said that this blog had gone fallow. Goths appreciate being in fallow. It helps us to save our energy to be annoyed about important things like greyscale filters.

A very energized review of XYZ by Gloo

via rateyourmusic

This project is a collab between Iglooghost, Kai Whiston and BABii.

I don't really know if you could call this dance music, but it definitely makes me want to throw ass. If basically any track off this got played at the club, I would go fucking crazy. ESPECIALLY Teef Chizzel, with that Aphex Twin sample and crazy loud bass. I would absolutely kill that dance floor.

The mixing, and general production on this is absolutely crazy. It sounds… immersive? I'm not sure if that word can be applied to music in the same way it can to visual media, but it really puts me in a space.

BABii's vocals are also amazing on this. The layering, production and effects on them make them stand out, even in the maximalist production.

SCORE: 4.5/5
