1. Northwest Passage: And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west. Tris came from a community of caravan merchants. 

2. Gimme Shelter: Ooh, see the fire is sweepin' our streets today... gimme shelter, or I'm gonna fade away. A mad lich, Raven, raided her caravan with fireballs. Her parents and her younger sister were slain, leaving her the sole survivor. 
 
3. Winterbreak: You're wondering how to leave it here, and I haven't seen you since last winter break. Tris took shelter with the Order of the Silver Dragon, a chivalric society devoted to justice. There, she fell in love with another squire, Ella. It didn't last. 

4. Keep the Car Running: If some night I don't come home Please don't think I've left you alone... keep the car running. Tris didn't quite fit in with the Order after that. After a string of anger management issues, she decided to leave to seek her glory elsewhere, promising to return and receive her knighthood. She soon met up with a group of adventurers called the Last Resort, including Carric, Audra, Xavril, and Resha. 

5. Hand of Sorrow: The child without a name grew up to be the hand, to watch you, to shield you or kill on demand. After a few years of adventuring, Tris found that her sister, Mariel, had survived under the tutelage of the lich responsible for the caravan attack. Unfortunately, this happened while Mariel was leading a gang of pirates to raid a settlement. During the attack, Audra's sister was kidnapped. 

6. Storyteller: And all along she asked why love wasn't worth a fight - was it worth her fight? Eventually, the party made their way to the Ravenspire to rescue Audra's sister, and Tris reunited with Mariel. Mariel had read Tris's published novel recounting her adventures in the meantime, and had grown cynical in her training. But when it came down to it, Mariel sided with the party against Raven. However, this mission was not without price, and Xavril was lost. 
 
7. Numbers: Be careful who you're thinking will save you in the end - maybe we're all just waiting for one beautiful friend. Party tensions increased as the party ventured into the desert of Farrell to deal with Resha's wayward mentor, and then to the jungles of Syland attend Carric's sister's wedding. Carmilla and Fendrell, a pair of twins sharing a single body, also joined the party.  

8. Delete Forever: Lying so awake, things I can't escape - lately I just turn 'em into demons. Flew into the sun, fucking heroin - lately I just turn 'em into reasons and excuses. Tris turned to taking drugs to deal with Xavril's death and intraparty stress 

9. Stray Italian Greyhound: Oh no not now, please not now, I just settled into the glass half empty. Tris began to develop feelings for Carmilla: feelings that she just could not figure out how to deal with. The two of them went on a few dates. Eventually, the party managed to acquire a second body for Carmilla, temporarily losing Resha in the process. 

10. The (Shipped) Gold Standard: I wanna scream "I love you" from the top of my lungs, but I'm afraid that someone else will hear me You can only blame your problems on the world for so long before it all becomes the same old song. Tris's racial insecurities, drug issues, shock of losing party members, and lingering lich threat caught up with her. She rejected Carmilla, ran away from the party, and regretted it almost immediately afterwards. 

11. Calling the Rain: Heed, it's like calling the rain, it's like bearing in pain, like embracing life and decaying in death. Tensions on the continent of Suzoa came to a boil as the wizard Lady Zolera tried to gain control of the Arcane Well. Tris couldn't leave her party members behind to deal with that threat alone. She put aside her issues and returned to the party. Facing the Arcane Well, she had a realization that she wanted to survive and wash away the evil and corruption in the world and herself, and live life fully. 

12. For Me, This is Heaven: When the time we have now ends, when the big hand goes round again, can you still feel the butterflies? Can you still hear the last goodnight... If I don't let myself be happy now, then when? Tris took up Lady Zolera's newly vacated seat on the council and used her good publicity as a published author to correct the direction of the empire. Years later, she regained enough confidence to ask Carmilla if maybe she wanted to give things another try. And Carmilla said yes.

tracklist )

And now something completely different. I made a playlist of 13 of my favourite "dark" tracks ages ago and never did anything with it. What is dark? Well, Todd in the Shadows said that "music is not here to satisfy your most positive emotions or your most noble impulses" so here it ranges from merely spooky-sounding to kind of troubling.

1. Vienna Teng - Recessional
Who are you, taking coffee, no sugar?
Who are you, echoing street signs?
Who are you, the stranger in the shell of a lover,
Dark curtains drawn by the passage of time?


2. Wilco - Via Chicago
I dreamed about killing you again last night
And it felt alright to me.


3. Coeur de Pirate - Slow Show
You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before I saw you


4. Matt Nathanson feat. Jennifer Nettles - Run
You surround me, pull me, drown me, swallow me whole

5. The Rescue - Follow Me Back Into The Sun
Run and run, follow me back into the sun
I'm right behind you


6. Taylor Swift - Treacherous
Nothing safe is worth the drive and I will follow you, follow you home...
This path is treacherous
And I like it



I wanted to try something different this time. It started when I was listening to Treacherous last week and couldn't stop smiling at 1:50... and I wanted to capture that feeling in songs I felt tumbled over themselves in a beautiful way. Except Via Chicago, that doesn't fall over itself at all, but it seemed to fit the theme and what I wanted to say, I guess, except that lyrically speaking it came out more murdery than I wanted it to.

A few tracks about living in depressing cities. Like Waterloo, or Las Vegas, or whatever. Enjoy!

But no one except Lucy knew that as it circled the mast it had whispered to her, "Courage, dear heart," and the voice, she felt sure, was Aslan's, and with the voice a delicious smell breathed in her face.

2012.10.22 23:54 - Mix: Tuesday
Yknow, clearly, I'm never, ever going to update my giant "Yay for not dying yet" playlist. So here's a short one for Tuesdays, because tomorrow is Tuesday. Tuesdays are my least favourite day of the week, by the way. 

I tried not to build this around a theme, and just tossed some of the songs I'd been listening to for the last few weeks in. An hour and a half later... a theme came out anyways. 

By the way, 1957, if you want me to block out your face more or take it down, let me know. It was honestly the only picture I wanted to use that I could get on a short notice.
