Took me a couple days to process Days of Sorrow. That was amazingly, wholesomely, heart wrenchingly sad. That was a great story.
The Albedo section was especially good because reading him hearing his loved one having a hard time saying "I love you" for the last time was hard to not tear up.
The whole story kinda hit a little hard for me because I lost an aunt and uncle to cancer. My mother got cancer too, but she caught it early and got it taken care of. A terminal illness is a horrible thing that can happen to someone, and there isn't much anyone can do to make people feel better through it.
it took me a good long time writing those too. each one was, on its own level, painful. I imagine the regret Albedo feels when he thinks about the whole thing and I believe he would search for an answer to how to make sure this doesn’t happen again -- (do you know my biggest fear in life is slowly losing my cognitive functions? Idk if you’ve ever read Flowers for Algernon, but that story is one of my worst nightmares)
Diluc’s was also tragic because he had to watch, for a second time, someone he loves slip away from him from something he can’t stop nor understand. i loveee angst but Idk if I can do that to him again lol
and Thoma’s --- my god the part where the reader just breaks down in fear and anger, knowing that they have fallen for someone they can’t have anymore -- the hopeful desires overshadowed by the truth. oof, writing that part had me in tears
(idk how angst writers to this all the time - that stuff hurts)
(also, i hope it wasn’t too painful for you to remember. cancer is such a debilitating illness and to watch someone go through that -- I can’t imagine the despair you felt. for those that are gone, its their memories that we can keep alive and, if you celebrate el Día de los Muertos, enjoy the moments with your loved ones, they are still with us and waiting to see you again.)
No Songs Tomorrow: Darkwave, Ethereal Rock and Coldwave 1981-1990
Se podría decir que el sonido dark es el único que se ha mantenido constante en las últimas cuatro décadas. En parte, porque sus seguidores son bastante fieles. Pero también porque ha sabido reciclarse y no quedarse estancado. Lo que empezó con unas guitarras oscuras y unas secciones rítmicas vibrantes, se ha ido mezclando con mundos más electrónicos o pop. Incluso podríamos decir que muchos de…
Days of Sorrow, a post-punk band that has left an indelible mark.
While their music may not explicitly promote peace, their unique sound and artistic expression resonate with listeners seeking something beyond the ordinary.
Days of Sorrow emerged from the underground scene in Germany during the late 1980s. Their music channels subversion, resistance, and a sense of urgency. Here are some key aspects of their captivating journey:
Sound and Style:
Darkwave…
Kevin watching Jean ask Jeremy if he's okay, watching Jean offer to hold Laila's bag so she can fix her shoe, watching Jean hand Cat a granola bar before a game because she looked a little unsteady. He's not jealous, he had his time by Jean's side. Maybe it's grief. Grief for something that was never so innocent, never so untouched by cruel hands, something that could've been better if they were anyone else. Grief for something that's long passed and can never be fixed to be made better than before. He had his time at the receiving end of Jean's concerned glances. Maybe he's just a little sad that when he's at an away game, he no longer buys post cards for a friend. Maybe he just misses this person who used to always be by his side but they both knows it's better this way. Jean is happy, it's not with Kevin, and that's okay.
