Eidolon VGM #1: I Could Be Anything

xXx[FinDom]xXx wrote (5:34a LST): once again i find myself enjoying an episode for entirely different reasons than most, because i am burdened to be one of the few who knows what subtext is. yeah, sure, your boy got his kiss. but here's the thing: for a genre that's usually notorious for dragging out the will-they-won't-they until the heat death of the universe, Courtship sure is pushing rembrandt really hard, huh? almost like it wants you to think that's what's "supposed" to happen, which is the same opinion held by Starcadia's parents? Aurelia's glance wasn't just generically "meaningful," it was asking Star a question: is this what you want? it clearly points to Starelia being endgame. rembrandt is just a pit stop along the way. also, goddammit, why is it always elves? "my unique and mysterious alien race looks exactly like if we put some modeling putty on a human's ear." wow how exciting i'm so intrigued. i bet they're gonna really strain the budget two episodes from now when we meet a new alien who's got nose ridges or some shit CREDITS: Iris Christianson as Trace Vector Tyberius Wilson as Bridgerton Larch Zoe Tunnell as Genevieve St. Cloud Crystal Zaslavchik as Leila Marino, Lietunant of Mare Cognitum Luke Varner as The GM Additional Voices by Max Knightley MUSIC BY MAX KNIGHTLEY EDITED BY LUKE VARNER CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains knife violence and body horror.

Heartbreaker2196 wrote (03:52a LST): GREAT episode of The Courtship this week for TRUE BELIEVERS in REAL ROMANCE. It's so obvious that Starcadia and Rembrandt are made for each other! I don't know why anyone even brings up Aurelia anymore. So WHAT if they shared another “meaningful glance” at each other! I don't care that it happened right as Remby went in to kiss her! As you can see on the scoreboard, Aurelia has been kissed zero times. Let's keep track of that as the season goes on. Anyway, what did everyone think about this new kingdom of space-faring elves that just showed up? I wouldn't be surprised if that Thorniforous gentleman tries to work his way between Stari and Remby… Not that it will matter! CREDITS: Molly Rhinebeck as L.E.

I was sitting and waiting Just thinking, contemplating My life when I heard the phone I picked up the receiver And I did not believe her When I heard a voice say you're not alone When I am down and I am blue All I have to do Is close my eyes and think of you And the world is new Oh, life was getting hectic And things were unexpected When I first received your call But now it is the best thing That filled up what was missing And now my life is envied by all When I am down and I am blue All I have to do Is close my eyes and think of you And the world is new CREDITS: Iris Christianson as Haley Holst, RIGHTFUL KING THAT REJECTED HER THRONE Maxie Knightley as Solaris Apogee LVII 4th House, DIPLOMAT TO HUMANITY AND KEEPER OF SACRED LEGENDS Mike Painter as Bob McGovern, ROYAL EMISSARY TO THE LAND OF THE DEAD Zoe Tunnell as Charlie O'Neil, HEIR TO THE USURPER KING AND ROYAL SCRIBE Tyberius Wilson as Maurice Bailey, SECOND WIZARD Crystal Zaslavchik as Naomi Shirogorov, ABDICATING PRINCE Luke Varner as Jordan Rogers, CONQUERING KING AND CONQUERED KING Crystal Zaslavchik as Jack Bailey, HE'S JACK BAILEY Lexi Waltner as Kacey Chambers, ROYAL MAGISTRATE Molly Rhinebeck Regina Rosenthal, SELF-EXILED QUEEN Fabby Garza as KC Cardenas, CAPTAIN OF THE KNIGHTS AND QUEEN CONSORT Crystal Zaslavchik as Jacob Shirogorov, CORONATED PRISONER Tyberius Wilson as Evangeline Bailey, PRINCESS OF THE NEW TOMORROW Luke Varner, Iris Christianson, Fabby Garza, Maxie Knightley, Mike Painter, and Crystal Zaslavchik as The GMs MUSIC BY MAXIE KNIGHTLEY SEASON 3 EDITING BY LUKE VARNER, MOLLY RHINEBECK, MIKE PAINTER, CRYSTAL ZASLAVCHIK, AND IRIS CHRISTIANSON BASED ON EIDOLON: BECOME YOUR BEST SELF, SECOND EDITION, BY LUKE VARNER AND MOLLY RHINEBECK AND THUS, THE FINAL PAGE OF EIDOLON DISCO/EIDOLON SKA HAS BEEN REACHED.

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart Kept tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself I used to cry... but now I hold my head up high! And you see me Somebody new I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you And so you felt like droppin' in and just expect me to be free? Well now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me! Go on now, go! Walk out the door Just turn around now, 'cause you're not welcome anymore! Weren't you the one who tried to break me with "Goodbye?" Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die!? Oh no, not I! I will survive! Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive! I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give, And I'll survive! I WILL SURVIVE!
