it is actually devastatingly ironic that ac valhalla told its main story about a woman refusing to bow down and lose control to the man who represents the past life she used to be even delivering the very powerful line “i will not be captive to another man’s gaudy design, my fate is my own” only for her to not receive a proper farewell bc ubisoft instead chose to make the big budget dlc based on the man who was her past life. thanks

thinks really hard about Joy Of Remembrance - Celeste [Farewell] OST bc. it opens with such a flourish, in an almost feathery soundfont not quite like what you'd heard leading into it, the violin setting up the primary melody... and then the backing track kicks in and its almost discordant. not quite, but its enough to be Jarring. like some sort of stumble. and it keeps that dissonance, keeps that feeling as though its hastily pushing several different discolored pieces into the same track, struggling to make them fit, harmonize-- through pretty much the entire track.
the clashing of the high violin and the more chiptune-esque lead, each one almost trying to overwhelm the other parts all at once. but then when it quiets down just before the loop, the more somber strings feel almost like some sort of parting in the clouds-- not a mark of clarity, but one of something that lies underneath the hastily spilled coats of paint.
its trying desperately to be a declaration of openness and understanding, but that Cant be what it is (re: madeline's denial and stubbornness pushing forward). a loud, beautiful piece that Wants to be something it isnt-- actively pushing down the realization of what it Actually stands for. the dawning understanding something is terribly wrong, but simply excusing it as something else, overwriting it with a reality you can more easily swallow.
pushing for the answer she Wants rather than the answer she Needs.
gotta catch that bird.

tbh i'm actually so frustrated. i waited all day to watch the finale and then I finally did and now it's just over and it wasn't even that good :/
like it had so much potential to be good! and it had really great moments! but the whole thing just felt kind of like a cop-out by the end and i. tbh this sounds overdramatic but it makes me want to cry.

???????? SO YOUTUBE MUSIC DOES THIS THING WHERE IT AUTOMATICALLY CHOOSES A MUSIC VIDEO VERSION OF A SONG WHEN AVAILABLE TO ANNOY YOU INTO BUYING PREMIUM(?) AND OCCASIONALLY THESE ARE UNOFFICIAL VIDEOS LIKE A SPEEDPAINT OR LYRIC VIDEOS FROM 2007 BUT NORMALLY NOT UNLESS THE ONLY VERSION IS OBSCURE (THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF THIS I CAN THINK OF IS A SPEEDPAINT OF A SONG THAT ONLY HAS A LIVE VERSION)
ANYWAY I WAS LISTENING TO THE HORROR AND THE WILD (FUCKING. GOOD ASS ALBUM) AND I GET TO WELLY BOOTS (A SONG ABOUT A COMPLICATED FATHER/DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIP DEFINED BY ABSENCE AND MISCOMMUNICATION AND LOVING FROM AFAR) AND YOUTUBE GIVES ME?????? AN MCYT ANIMATIC?????????
IT HAS NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE FOR THIS SONG. WHAT THE FUCK WHITE MAN JUMPSCARE. IT HAS A CONTENT WARNING FOR SWEARING AT THE BEGINNING IM
