Any thoughts on Durandal+Theresa bonding over being clone girls who were mistreated by Otto but not being able to fully hate him because he was still someone they care about and a parental figure

GENUINELY THINK ABT THIS ALL THE TIME!!!!! esp w theresa's initial dislike for durandal its kinda funny how they don't really address this?????? unless im misremembering but god. yeah. love thinking abt them in orbit to each other but i dont know if they would be close. i'd hope they would though. like i'd like to think theresa starts seeing more cecilia in her sometimes and it like breaks her heart that she didn't manage to recognize her after she promised to look after her when she was kiana.

i think they'd make jokes abt otto's habits and shit sometimes just out of grief. they both understand each others complicated feelings towards him bc who else would understand but the overseer's other favorite.......

Eurovision 2004 - Number 16 - Yana - "Скажы мне"

Here's something incredibly rare. Eurovision and the national finals normally take a decade to catch up with mainstream musical trends. Just occasionally, there's something almost contemporary and up to date. In 2004 there's a song that's actually ahead of the curve. In Belarus. You may think that dubstep had its Eurovision heyday in 2013, yet here's Yana doing something with some heavy bass, 2-step rhythms and all the wubs in the TV studios of BTRC in 2004.

Let's start with Yana who's full name is Tatiyana Lipnitskaya - although she's now much better known as Бьянка/Bianka. In 2004 she's still better known as Yana. Not only is she singing here, but she also wrote the song. Her normal genre is R'n'B, and she's already been kicked out of a traditional folk choir in her childhood for 'unconventional vocals'. She's someone who's got an ear for some highly non-Belrusian music and here she isbringing that to a stage that's maybe not ready for such unconventionality.

For context, in 2004 dubstep is still largely a London-based form of music emerging from the UK garage scene over the previous five years. Outside of the record shops of Croydon and clubs in the East End, it's not heard. Even John Peel only started playing this it 2003. English language listening is also evidenced in the lyrics. Even though the song is called Скажы мне (Skazhi mne/Tell Me), it's sung entirely in English. The only bit of this that isn't from a club in the UK is the sample of Russian folk music used in one of the breaks. It's so out of place, and yet it so good!

It will not come as a shock to learn that out of the fifteen songs, this finished tenth. Radical departures in music rarely get immediate public approval, even if the phone vote across the entire field at the Belrusian selection is unbelievably, suspiciously close. Yana did impress the TV producers and new Belarusian delegation so much that they invited her to be the 2005 representative of Belarus at Eurovision - internal selection and everything.

She turned them down.

Since this appearance Bianka has gone from strength to strength - but has had not further involvement in Eurovision. For her first album in 2006 she refined her style and named the album after it - Russian R'n'B. Typically she incorporates traditional Russian instrumentation and styles with a much more contemporary R'n'B sound. Eight albums and fifty-five singles later, she's still going strong. Here's an example of her sound from 2007 - Про лето (Pro leto/About Summer)

genuinely crazy how in love bianka is w rita.

"she looked at rita unconsciously, only to find her smiling at her in the moonlight. she owed her too much.. yet she did not know how to sound natural when expressing a feeling she could not name."

"set off by the moonlight, she suddenly realized how captivating rita's smile was"
