Thom and Joe celebrate the 65th Birthday of Final Fantasy's composer, the legendary Nobuo Uematsu in style, as they discuss the history of the Final Fantasy live concert series, and their first studio recording, Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy.
Which also, posting about Sebastian reminds me:
I want to write RSG but I don't know if I can tell the story I wanted to tell originally. And I don't know if the story I want to tell now can be told with (all) the characters I would be using to tell RSG.
However. I still want to write queerplatonic Forthur and tell a story about both of those characters recovering from their shit.
I don't know if the right way to do that is to write RSG the way I originally intended. It might end up being a lot shorter of a series than anticipated. It might be less of a full depiction of the events of Ford's recovery and more like snapshots of moments that would happen in those events.
I have other things I want to write but I don't know how to write them and be the writer of RSG at the same time.
I'll figure it out.
This is the year I turn Arthur's age btw and that's just so much of a thing to me
Well, it's Sebastian's deathday today.
I feel like I've already said everything on this blog that I could have to say about him. I've said it all years and years ago but: I loved him, I'm glad I knew him, and I'm glad he helped me become the person I am now.
He shared perspectives that became very important later in my life for me to have, and even though I have a lot of trauma from seeing what happened to him, I also believe that seeing that helped me develop a level of understanding and empathy that has affected, for the better, how I navigate situations and friendships I've found myself in.
I'm having a gin and Darjeeling and watching Withnail and I for him. I hadn't actually had a gin and Darjeeling until the day before last and it's just as good as he made it out to be. This will be the first time I observe his deathday as someone who drinks.
I think I'll leave an offering at my altar for him. I have my prayer cards of the Egyptian gods up on it right now and while what I actively worship now is the Void, I feel like it'd be appropriate to have them there on a deathday.
Despite what a somber day this is, I'm honestly in a pretty good mood because I'm thinking about how glad I am that I knew Sebastian and how happy I am to be who I am now because of him.

“But why has it all got to be so terribly loud? For me frankly, it’s too loud. I just can’t bear it.”
Oh my god, LOOOOOVE this interview! Good times… @latefrequencies, look familiar?
Oh man yeah! (The phrase "why has it all got to be so terribly loud?", from this interview, was a major inside joke with me and the friend I reblogged this from back when we were classic rock-obsessed teenagers adjfiosjdfg)
when i was a kid my parents bought me an inflatable doll of the Scream by Edvard Munch (??) that was significantly taller than i was at the time and i used to slow-dance with it and pretend it was my boyfriend. It had its hands attached to its head obviously so it felt like he was always a bit horrified to be forced to dance with me
i didn't need no imaginary friends i had Screaming Joe right here !
I love this website I love it when people tell us what's wrong with them

We're back with numbered episodes, (at last) as Thom and Joe take a look at the worlds of otome videogames and isekai as the duo turn to the first season of My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! As they recount the evolution of isekai as a genre, to its oversaturation in the late 2010s, so Thom and Joe consider how the tale of Catarina Claes, a former otaku now finding herself the villainess of her favourite videogame, Fortune Lover, and forced to try and avoid her fate, stands out from a crowded genre.
