#oh and the soundtrack

[cakebatteronabrickwall]

I finally sat down and watched Fellow Travelers and, while many things can be said about it, here is what stood out to me: It is a love story. Yes. But it is also a story about time. More importantly, a story which over and over battles with the concept of "too late". For example, Jackson is dead by episode 7, but the scene of Tim going to see him after the birth succeeds it in the chronology of the story. Or, we know Tim and Hawk have been seperated for quite a bit in the most current timeline, but their lives intersect on every other level that comes before it. The storytelling (aided by the editing) makes all these moments exist side by side; the love, the tragedy, the everything else, by playing around with these 30 years. You can't be too late when time doesn't seem to exist in a linear way. And then there is the final scene, which may as well have been the first. This scene illustrates that it also is never too late for change or for the truth, because here is Hawk, after everything, finally able tell his daughter about the man he loved. Freely. Without fear of judgement. Without fear of his own truth.

Love is beyond measure. So is time. So is truth.

My first soundtrack album, Oh Boy! is out now! It is for a disco version of Hamlet (seriously) and I drew inspiration from ELO, David Bowie, Abba, of Montreal, Late of the Pier, Rod Stewart (yes), Bee Gees, Kate Bush and even a little Eno, Nine Inch Nails and Philip Glass (half the album is instrumental score and it's the weird half).

(If you don't wanna hear some out there instrumental score skip to track 2 😅💖)

It’s so cute seeing other fandoms complain about their really good anime adaptations meanwhile s1 and 2 of Kuro are just… bad. Just an absolute dumpster fire. Like I’m seeing people complaining because some of the Hellsing characters were drawn slightly differently in Ultimate, I’m seeing BSD fans talk about how they ever so slightly tweaked this one panel from the manga.

Babygirl, they added a whole two and a half seasons of non-canon wacko nonsense. They added a naked dog-man. They spoiled a major plot twist of the manga. They took a hacksaw to like three whole characters personalities. They added the Alice in Wonderland OVA.

The door closes. And despite the finality of the click of the lock, Eddie still half expects it to swing in again, blown open with tears and regret and second chances. He stares at it. The same way he stared at Shannon’s broken body and still expected her eyes to flutter open, her lungs to fill with breath. Just like then, no miracle comes to save him and, just like then, Eddie’s own heart goes so still in his chest that he’s not sure if it’s still beating.

Unlike then, there’s no next step laid out before him. No papers to sign, no plastic bag of belongings to clutch in his hand, no well-trod path of other mourners to follow and to imitate until he’s capable of choosing a direction for himself again.

Eddie stares at the door that doesn’t open and his nerves start to cry out in a panic that something is wrong, everything is wrong, he might be dying, he should be dying, he’s fucked up so completely that there’s no coming back, followed the siren song of his own grief down to the depths and dragged Christopher along behind him. He can’t breathe. He can’t breathe. Why can’t he-

A sob cracks the quiet, wretched and shrill and heavy with the weight of snot and tears like he’s already been crying for hours, crying for years.

And the hand on Eddie’s shoulder that, until now, has let him stand, holding him up, not rushing him into turning away and admitting the miracle isn’t coming, finally grips a little tighter. That comforting weight makes him sob again and when Buck says, “Eddie,” in a voice as soft as a caress, Eddie dissolves entirely.

He lets himself be turned into Buck’s chest and cradled like a child and he clings like one. His fists full of Buck’s shirt and his pain too big to hide behind any kind of pride.

Eddie weeps. For himself. For Christopher. For the past and for a thousand futures he’ll never get to have. He cries until he’s lost to himself, until his knees grow weak and he should be crumbling to the floor. He does crumble. But he never falls.

Buck’s arms circle his back, holding all of the pieces of Eddie together. His voice is a soft rumble in Eddie’s ear, the words lost under the sound of Eddie’s tears but their message as clear as a simple, familiar prayer.

“It’s going to be okay.”

Happy One Year Anniversary to the Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie ❤️💙💜🧡

A future young adult Mikey gif for you!

It has been waiting in my drafts for a bit, but I think such an occasion can't be ignored!

I'm so happy for the movie, I add to the never ending praises as it's one of the best animated movies ever, but also my never ending gratitude for awakening and building the fandom to the wonderful state it is in.
