Ashen Pathfinder

All righty; i had to let this stew for a few days, but as @omnicons#0435  and a few of you already know it's high time I told everyone here. I will be leaving staff; as will @Moonlight; who herself was a dedicated moderator. I will also mention @NavelColt; , who made it official today regardless.

I'll keep this short, but between me experiencing several bouts of burn-out, lacking time to really do much, and...well, disagreements with several decisions (and yes that includes Venemous, but I'll stop on that) I feel that my time has really come to an end. Really tho, it is time for new blood to take over and do what they feel is needed for the forums to thrive.

I wish you all good luck and fortune. This is not an easy task, but I do have hope for you all.

With that, I depart. <3

Probably my #1 favorite piece of music ever. <3

Organ Symphony No. 6: I. Allegro - Charles-Marie Widor
-Performed by Olivier Latry

Listening to some epic doom metal feels really good right now.

Funny how things work; right? Was mowing the lawn (start of that season; blegh) and was just about finished when the deck belt slipped on my riding mower. After some looking I realized the deck spring was missing. Guessing that it either broke or just...flung itself to Tibet! In any case gotta look for replacements. XD

YOOOO! Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is so good OMG! Best animated film I have seen since Raya! WOW!

And the villain...oh lord, omg, amazing!

Sunny got an episode!

Probably the most peaceful music I've ever heard. Kinda need this today.

Two pieces of music that just hit me; make me feel something that I can never truly understand, but I still feel it. That is helped by the fact that Karajan & the Berlin Philharmonic just nail it. Period.

Ugh; caffeine crashes are brutal.

Mahler: Symphony No. 9; as conducted by Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic.

Transcendental. That is the word I would use to describe both the symphony itself, and Karajan's interpretation with Berlin. It's been pretty typical that any piece of classical music that I listen to for the first time needs a few listens to really understand and 'get' the music. Not this one; it really struck me. It really feels like Mahler knew his end was coming soon and this feels like the result. Likewise; Karajan & Berlin just "get it." And this is a live recording; that makes it even more amazing.

Not sure why there was a two week break, but Tell Your Tale returns with a new episode! And that thumbnail! <3

There was an auction for this OC and I couldn't pass her up. ;_;

*Boop*

As the shadowy carillon bells toll,
As the dark organ of the crypt sounds,
From the depths of Dirgewood,
Are the ashes of the past unbound.

(okay yah wanted to show off new commission ^^)

This symphony OMG...

New episode! <3
