The AM: September 5, 2022

Come for the ambient electronics in the first hour, stay for the sprawling space disco in the post-Pride hangover special of the final hour. In between we hear from one of the few artists to appear on Mr. Rogers Neighbourhood *and* be sampled by Kanye, plus movie scores, krautrock love songs, disco reimaginings, and new wave instrumentals to ring in this Labour Day Monday.

wtwevent day 3: tropes (a character roster)

this prompt excited me so much that i spent all of this morning delving into TV Tropes looking for tropes to assign to the darkling characters... so here’s a handy little* list of exactly who’s who and what they’re all about.

*list is not guaranteed to be little

darkling is a king-lear-inspired speculative fantasy WIP about two teenagers in a magical city - Jasper, who desperately wants to make his way in the upper echelons of society, and Cressida, who feels trapped there by the iron grip of her famous father. (more about darkling) (link to picrew)

alternate title: Calling The Old Man Out, the book. long character post under the cut.

JASPER GREENWOOD

From Nobody to Nightmare: above i have included a basic jasper and the Fancy!Jasper evolution, because god damn if this doesn’t encapsulate this little asshole’s whole plotline.

Manipulative Bastard: lmao. (the joke is that it’s literal.)

Improbable Age: one fear: his partners-in-crime finding out that he’s literally sixteen. (he might be in over his head, but you couldn’t convince him of such.)

CRESSIDA STAYER

Brutal Honesty: look, the gal cannot tell a lie. and even if she COULD, she WOULDN’T. she has enough trouble trying to guess what people are thinking when no one says anything outright. why would she add to the whole mess? honor before reason, ladies and gents, and honesty before self-preservation.

Cassandra Truth: are you thinking, “hey, max, that’s an unfortunate thing to combine with brutal honesty?” you’d be right! maybe if people took the autistic teenager seriously, this plot wouldn’t be such a mess 🤔🤔🤔

The Fettered: to her ideals, yes, but also to the sense of guilt and responsibility she feels toward her family.

and the rest of the cast!

VEE GREENWOOD

jasper’s older “brother” is the Dutiful Son to the letter (well, yes, he’s uncomfortable with the word “son,” but - [vee greenwood putting his hand over my mouth noises]). or at least he is until stuff happens! after that... one can only hide their various resentments for so many years.

GRACEN STAYER

leovald stayer’s eldest daughter is a Chessmaster (quite literally - she plays obsessively). is she hiding a Hair-Trigger Temper and over a decade of suppressed anger? i don’t know, ask her. (she might even deign to reply! probably not. but maybe!)

RUBY STAYER

ah, ruby and her terminal case of Middle Child Syndrome. maybe her constant struggle to have her own identity is what makes her such a wild card. maybe she’s never been sincerely loved before, which is why she’s such an Intentional Heartbreaker. or maybe she’s just, like, mean.

DANIELLE CALDWELL

ruby’s fiance! not that anyone except ruby and dany knows that yet. insert obligatory joke about the pair’s interesting tastes.

LORELAI “RORY” FLOWERS

man, rory just works here. The Only Sane Person in the whole city of dovermorry, they are not edgy or tortured or part of any complicated aristocratic families or scandals. they are a secretary who spends most of their day playing minesweeper. that is ALL. so of course they end up working for the LEAST normal guy in a fifty-mile radius -

LEOVALD STAYER

the man, the myth, the legend... the most powerful person in the city of dovermorry. both magically and politically. what is a leovald but a miserable little dramatic pile of problems that are entirely his own fault.

(not shown in the picrew: the man is stupid tall. he’s, like, 6′4. rory is exactly five feet tall. character design is my passion)

GRIFFIN GREENWOOD

maybe leovald pulls the strings, but vee and jasper’s dad is legally the mayor of dovermorry. and he’d be a pretty popular mayor if not for the scandal that went down around... [checks watch] sixteen years ago. (cool tip: do not cheat on your terminally ill wife, but if you really MUST do that, by GOD use protection.) now he’s Obsessively Normal, and he forces his sons children to act obsessively normal as well. (don’t worry. probably one of them will eventually sit down and have a nice cathartic emotionally-honest mutually-beneficial talk with him about it.)

MEDEA

medea is a fun anarchist Solitary Sorceress who will help us on our journey later! (she’s almost a Widow Witch, but she never did marry the guy.) look, sometimes you just gotta live in the woods and not care what people think.

1,2,13,20,23 :)

I answered some of these but good luck I have multiple songs that fit these questions ! 

1. A song that reminds you of your childhood 

A long Walk by Jill Scott 

2. A song to sleep to 

Winds of Solace,Pillars of Sand by Gal Gracen 

13. A song that reflects your views on love

Looks by Steve Lacy (when I looked up the lyrics I was like oh wow this is me and I feel seen) 

20. A song from the soundtrack of a film that you like so much after the film finished you immediately looked for it

Crazy On You by Heart from the Virgin Suicides (when I saw the scene that has this song I just knew it was over for me) 

23. A song that when you listen to it you’re transported to a liminal space, time is pointless and you must sit and wallow in the void that remains

Girl by Standing On The Corner (I really feel like i’m in some local tv station documentary that a bunch of skaters by day multi instrumentalist by night people with a bulky vhs camera made but it also a low budget radio station at night that plays creepy chopped up samples and saxophone solos over cackles)

The AM: March 18, 2024

Taking inspiration from The Holdovers, the second hour of this week's AM digs into '60s and '70s singer-songwriter fare, and the music it inspired—including a throwback to Jim O'Rourke's fantastic Simple Songs from 2015. And, of course, your usual mix of Monday morning sounds, from ambient electronics to soul-jazz excursions, folk-rock ditties and unclassifiable but soul-soothing sounds.

帰ると妻にソイラテをリクエストし、おやつもぐもぐタイム（カーリングよく知らないくせに使う）。小魚も新たに買ってくれていて、ありがたい。明日は休み。

◇生活の供：
