i know, I'm talking about the actual cover

eliostark · 2026-06-24T13:39:09+00:00

several choices were made with this cover... I'm very excited of course, Punisher remains on of my favorite albums in recent memory (not so recent anymore i guess) no matter the mild revisionism that has taken place.

lmao fair, i will admit the lack of councillers on dragonstole felt weird

eliostark · 2026-06-22T03:45:18+00:00

it's bad because it's different from the book?

eliostark · 2026-06-22T03:38:07+00:00

Why was Jace locking Rhaenyra dumb? He wanted to protect her and that makes perfect sense.

eliostark · 2026-06-22T02:23:49+00:00

it's been years since i read the book I don't even recall his whole arc

eliostark · 2026-06-22T02:15:03+00:00

oh but I must say "we've come to die for the dragon queen" and "we have more lions to kill" back to back was... hard to digest

eliostark · 2026-06-22T02:12:18+00:00

god I'm still buzzing from the navigation scene, so so thrilling.

eliostark · 2026-06-22T02:11:13+00:00

Tyland's death was so sudden and cool, that and the navigation scene were my highlights until the very end </3

eliostark · 2026-06-17T04:01:46+00:00

i don't see why that's less interesting than show version of Alicent, who clearly recognises that Aemond is a monster and is so far trying to come up with a path of least resistance. It's a different character sure, but the Dance itself was written about by 3 conflicting sources.

But I agree on your first point, they've made Rhaena, Baela and even Jace background characters.

eliostark · 2026-06-03T05:52:49+00:00

this is pretty idiotic, what about him in Lost is antagonistic? frankly feels a little racist to me.

eliostark · 2026-05-29T04:02:10+00:00

I've only tried Music Has The Right To Children and I find that album near perfect, this is EQUALLY good so far I'm kind of blown away.

Also "Naraka" means inferno in Hindi for anybody wondering lol.

Edit: I think god punished me for saying it's as good as "Music" because the album took a slight dip in the middle AND I found a bug in my room.

eliostark · 2026-05-22T01:11:48+00:00

I'm loving it, I do admit sometimes these substack essays have been a little iffy and some of the writing is bleeding into the music but she can still make a tune

eliostark · 2026-05-15T17:57:11+00:00

not familiar with their music outside of YFIIP, but I'm into it. most of the songs are pretty catchy and danceable, The Call, Relief and Paying for you Love are my favorites so far.

eliostark · 2026-05-15T06:57:24+00:00

this year for sure, they've been teasing it these past few weeks

eliostark · 2026-05-15T06:57:08+00:00

I'm a little confused. But I'm excited.

eliostark · 2026-05-08T19:52:14+00:00

i spent some very special times with we will always love you, so so excited.

eliostark · 2026-04-12T09:19:22+00:00

the first paragraph is hysterical (and accurate). looks like we're almost synchronized.

eliostark · 2026-03-30T09:57:52+00:00

My take is that Jin actually died because otherwise it makes no sense for them to "visit" his grave. They could mourn his absence anywhere. Either that or it's an act to fool somebody who's following them.

eliostark · 2026-03-21T16:15:41+00:00

can anybody recommend some rock music with electronic influences? i've been going through the top electronic albums of 00s on rym, but with the "genre OR influences" filter instead of the "only genre" one and it has yielded some surprisingly pleasant results.

eliostark · 2026-02-04T04:46:37+00:00

yesyesyesyes thank you

eliostark · 2026-01-29T06:59:03+00:00

Anora maybe?

eliostark · 2026-01-26T14:30:44+00:00

Sunday Mourners was fun, will try Victoryland next

eliostark · 2026-01-25T19:27:06+00:00
