Some of these documents intersect and have similar resources and links, but I'm adding them just to make sure as they may also have some that aren't listed in this post either.

the current trend of "tumblr users embarrassing themselves by proudly announcing why they don't listen to any music made by black people" is really astounding.

i cannot help but think this is a direct result of liberal White Guilt and how people have interpreted "anti-racism" as form of cultural self-segregation - the kind of person who thinks trying to cook chicken curry is cultural appropriation, or sends white people anon hate for wearing a kimono (yes, this kind of discourse happened). like, "oh, no, i could never participate in this culture, i'd get my evil white hands all over it! it would be more Progressive if I only did White things."

if you're a poc you've seen this, i'm sure - this deer-in-the-headlights stare you can get from white people when you play music / show art / share a story / anything that is Racially Coded, this total refusal to actually engage with it out of fear that it is in some way Wrong for them to have any opinion on it. because they read somewhere that it's bad to use AAVE but the only lesson they actually learned from that is "gotcha, white people are not allowed to interact with other cultures as punishment for my White Crimes. this helps to fill up the gaping pit of my white guilt and makes me one of the Good People." this transforms their discomfort around non-white cultures (black culture, especially, i should add) into a kind of virtue

anyway if you are white and reading this. go listen to some fucking haliu mergia. ethiopian jazz. will knock your dick right off. go listen to rap or reggae or bollywood and have a genuine reaction to it - like, an actual, from-the-heart reaction. you are allowed to not like some of it. but you will definitely like at least a little. yes, you can compare it to lemon demon (or whatever) if that helps you get into it and that's your only point of reference. maybe don't say that part out loud. but don't, like, separate yourself from it, like you are seeing it in a museum and the only polite thing to do is go "ahh, huh, very interesting, so much culture here."

But Green Requiem's video about the music in the Kingdom Hearts Chi saga--and about how most of it seems to very much be two different chords going on at the same time (if I am wrong and butchering music terms here, through this game of telephone, please forgive me [and know that Green Requiem got it right and I alone am the idiot]; I'm not a musician) has me so excited about what the music for what the rest of this new saga might be like, as Shimomura makes a new discography.

As Green Requiem pointed out, I wonder if the two chords thing going on, was because Shimomura knew beforehand that there was a double layer to Daybreak Town, so to speak: that Daybreak Town would become Scala ad Caelum.

I'm also loving the bit of mixolydian we've gotten so far (I say as someone who had no idea what that was until I watched this video). And Green Requiem wonders if Shimomura also knew that KHUX would eventually tie to Missing Link (and hey, even Dark Road), that would go more Norse in a lot of ways, and would perhaps even moreso fit with the mixolydian.

Already, the Kingdom Hearts Chi music is quite a bit set apart from what we got in the Dark Seeker Chronicles. And yet, there are of course a lot of things that connect to it, too. I love it!

Edit: Here's the KH Chi video I'm talking about.

top five most important things you can give a character. 1. bisexuality. 2. autism. 3. so much negative rizz it loops around into irresistibility. 4. so many bad events. 5. a coping mechanism that’s cute and silly provided you don’t think about it too hard

And then you make the reader think about it too hard, thus dealing 12d6 psychic damage.
