I'm still digesting the excellent Critical Role finale, but I think it melted my brain too much for me to write anything more coherent than I LOVE D&D!!! for now XD
Thus, other topic: MUSIC!
I've had a good time with music in the last few weeks. Not only did one of my favorite over-the-top power metal bands release a new song (Beast of Gévaudan by Powerwolf - be warned that this group's whole "gimmick" is pretending to be catholic werewolf priests, sooooo, yeah, lot's of "Christian imagery but make it Metal"), this neat WIP Critical Role animation reminded me that MIKA's "Promiseland" is so sooo catchy, and this Critical Role fan-song based on ep 140 tore my heart out in the best of ways <3
I was also made aware of the Warframe space-shanty Sleeping in the Cold Below thanks to the fan-version over here, most excellent! And I found this mellow lofi summer playlist that's my current writing/editing music <3
And then! THEN! I was informed that the band The Amazing Devil are a thing because of this Tumblr post that is a whole bisexual MOOD (+ the little aside of "yes that is Jaskier" startled a chuckle out of my Witcher-loving self). Not only an A+ aesthetic, but music I've really fallen in love with as well! Two whole albums full!
If you're into folkrock(I think??? I Am Bad At Music Genres Sorry) I highly rec this band! They've got so many flavors, from creepy eerie Something Is Wrong songs to Ridiculously Cheerful Breakup songs, to Oddly Bittersweetly Nostalgic Feelsy songs, with clever lyrics and mood that varies from "classic" fantasy to urban fantasy and in-between!
Both albums have revitalized many of my old-and-current writing projects, inspired new ones, aaaaand I'm definitely requesting both their The Horror and the Wild and the music video for their King for Yuletide this year <3<3<3
