2018-09-14, live at Washington's, Fort Collins CO, taped by LMGBTapes
Last week I made a post about how to listen to the huge collection of tMG concert tapes on the Live Music Archive. So, to keep up the LMA posting, welcome to what I'm gonna call Live Tapes Tuesday, where every week I post a track I like from a live tape!
I thought about being really particular about what to post for this first one, but what I ended up doing is hitting the Random button in the LMA app and picking my favorite track off a show I'd never listened to before - I have such a fondness for songs that are pretty extremely different live, so it had to be this High Hawk Season, but this show's Autoclave and Game Shows Touch Our Lives were also fantastic.
Like I said, I'll be posting something from a live tape weekly, and anyone who wants to join in on posting live tapes is absolutely welcome and encouraged to do so! :D

man if you're voting for biden just to vote against trump, just say that. we have got to get over this harm reduction shit when what we really mean is harm reduced for us, me, mr american and literally nobody else on this bitch of an earth. if the only and most emphasized thing we do to reduce the harm our president and their platform does to the living is vote, we are reducing nothing. for anyone or ourselves, because voting alone doesn't challenge the trajectory of anything. it buys 4 more years before we have to do it all again, if that. thinking this way is what promises having to think this way again, and again, and again and again. in 2024, who american leftists vote for 1 day of the year matters little compared to what we do the other 364.
#j.txt#once again talking to me here there is a constant wailing alarm in my head like 24/7#we aren't taught the other ways we can facilitate change on purpose#there is power in the polls but unfortunately in america it is very little compared to the power in. the union..... lol#i'm not hardcore judging scared minorities in america if they wanna vote for biden out of fear for trump this election cycle#but i am hardcore judging if it's proclaimed as the morally superior thing to do when it's just not#like at all#which is also by design!#would you like blue poison or red poison don't you love living in a country that lets you choose!#i also just hate the narrative that this is our only way out of trump's america#like if he wins it's over like people who've been organizing and agitating and fighting and being arrested won't be doing the same shit#before and after#we gotta stop seeing voting as activism let alone a meaningful challenge to facism#not that i know everything either#just. even the few history books i've opened don't hold instances of voting being the way out of a tide of facism man#we can multitask guys vote for who we think we need to but if that's all we're doing to change things um.#we will be stopping nothing and we will be here forever#these shitheads have power here in and outside of office and they will do whatever they can wherever they can do it regardless#like they tried storming the capital literally last election. like#and that's just. here in our own country#why should we expect them to act any different this go around. genuinely. i would like to be able to expect different#all that said i feel like i am going crazy every day 👍#2024 elections

i love raydon so much i just adore the progression of their relationship throughout the series. how don admires ray and wants so so badly to be close to him and how ray wants to be close to don as well but constantly pushes him away because getting close to this hyperactive dork knowing he's going to die hurts way too much and he knows that if they did get close and don lived until his planned death date don would be absolutely devastated. so he simply continues to push him away because he thinks it's better for both of them, while don is hurt but just brushes it off as ray ‘being a downer’ because he doesnt know why he seems to be so distant!!
the apology in episode 6 being the first major breakthrough in their relationship and having don making one of the softest smiles in the series, he’s just SO happy to be making this progress with ray and its so touching. and how after that their relationship only gets better, to the point where don gets so overjoyed to see that ray is safe he tackles him, and even starts crying.
i just. love their relationship its so underrated i love the idea of don spending so long admiring ray from a distance and him finally being allowed to get close to him and actually get to know him and all that admiration slowly turning into genuine love, and ray experiencing these warm, soft feelings he never thought he'd live to feel and the weight of them all shocking him to his core, and shocking don too. i love the thought of these two boys who grew up desperately wanting to know each other but being unable to finally being given that chance and running with it, opening up about their insecurities and being soft and vulnerable and giving each other the pure adoration they both deserve <3

An overly emotional retrospective of WMMAP
This is completely different from what I usually post on here, so feel free to ignore my ramblings about my favorite manhwa coming to an end soon. If you choose to read this, please forgive my oversentimentality haha.
When it was announced that WMMAP was ending, I struggled to come to terms with whatever I was feeling. I was so sad that I didn’t want to even think about it anymore, but after spending over a year completely obsessed with this manhwa, it would be a little unfair of me to not reflect on it and give it a proper send-off. So that is what I’m attempting to do now.
Tumblr media
If you asked me why I love WMMAP so much compared to other similar stories, I could give you several answers. The characters are very charismatic and lovable, and they make you deeply feel for them and what they have to go through. The narrative, while pretty simple and straight forward, is effective in what it’s trying to achieve, never stopping being entertaining and charming, and most of its themes are well done. The art, needless to say, is downright breathtaking, objectively one of the best in manhwa (and subjectively the best, in my humble opinion).
But neither of those reasons are exactly why I love WMMAP, and they don’t really explain why I’m so sad to see it end.
While I have a great deal of praise for it, WMMAP also has flaws, plenty of them in fact. Even ignoring the ways in which it parts from the novel’s narrative (if you care about that in the first place), it’s own original writing can be messy and unsatisfactory in some places. But I don’t really want to talk about WMMAP’s faults right now. I’m bringing them up because, in spite of it, I and many people love this story and characters dearly. Why is that?
After reflecting on it for quite some time, I reached something akin to an answer. WMMAP’s charm and incredible success doesn’t lay (exclusively) in it’s beautiful art, or how it was one of the precursors of the genre, inspiring countless other works, but in something more delicate and personal, that is, in how unashamedly sincere it is with the story it’s trying to tell, and how that makes the reader care deeply about it.
I’ll use Athy’s character as an example because, well, she’s my favorite (as I’m sure everyone can tell), but also because I genuinely think she is the heart of WMMAP, and that goes beyond just being the main character.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
To say that Athy’s story is very sad would be an understatement. It’s heartbreaking, even more so because it was she (unlike her novel self) the one that had to go through so, so much, across multiple lifetimes. We want to see Athy find her own happiness, grasp it tightly, and never let it go, that is the main appeal of the story for most people. However, that is not really an original concept in manhwa, and even less so in other mediums. How many manhwas about a daughter trying to form a real connection with her family exist? Probably dozens, or even hundreds, and yet WMMAP is the one that is generally regarded as the best of its kind, justifiably so in my opinion.
WMMAP is way more effective in making us care so much for Athy (and the rest of the cast) because of how intimate and sincere her writing and the exploration of her feelings are. For me, more than an exciting plot full of twists and turns, what captivates me the most are the characters within a story, how they develop over time, how they interact with each other, the many conflicts that arise from those interactions, and I think that WMMAP is really successful in those regards.
The emotional impact WMMAP has on its fans is undeniable, and that is not achieved with pretty artwork alone. Athy’s journey from faking her love for Claude to caring deeply, even painfully so for him to the point of even putting him over her own safety is masterfully portrayed. You see her feelings start to shift, slowly and subtly, before she even realizes it, until the reality of them is too heavy for Athy to ignore. That unashamed sincerity made me tear up way more times than I would want to admit. And it’s because of how honest her character’s writing is that I was captivated by this story in particular.
Tumblr media
Spoon is very earnest in her writing, that is apparent to me in the care she puts in the main cast’s characterization. She takes her time to delicately portrait Claude and Athy’s feelings and internal conflicts, and that really pays off when it comes to fleshing them out as truly well-rounded characters. While we know little to nothing about Spoon as a person, that is not really needed, as her sincerity shines through her art. Admittedly, and for better or for worse, that candidness is also reflected in the story’s faults. The story can be messy, it struggles with the landing at times and with the messages it’s trying to convey, some of the narrative’s implications (unintentional or not) directly clash with it’s main themes.
But even so, despite the sometimes clumsy writing (which is a little understandable, as far as I know this is Spoon’s first written work outside of doujins), and my own personal dislikes about certain plot elements, I think there’s a lot of value in the candor of Spoon’s story. At the core of it all, WMMAP is a story about love. Love at its most beautiful, selfless, and tender, and at its most unsightly, selfish, and cruel. That is something Spoon was able to craft with passion and care, and I appreciate it more than I can convey with clear words.
For me, WMMAP’s irreplaceable charm lays in those little moments of heartfelt emotion that Spoon excels at. In Claude softly stroking Athy’s hair as she falls asleep, in Lucas’ unshakable presence as Athy’s emotional support and confidant, in Athy’s bottomless kindness for those around her.

I’m really glad to have been here to see this story unfold.

Also idk if I can elaborate on this in beautiful enough detail, but I think that the Autobots going through unreasonable amounts of effort to save other people even at great personal cost to themselves is literally something good about them, and if you try to criticize that as a way the Autobots are “bad” then I really don’t get you.
#squiggposting#how do i say this without overstepping on experiences i don't have#in the real world when people do things like emergency services or whatever... the foundation of that type of work#is to do something objectively dangerous and risky to yourself on just the bare chance of saving others#there are a lot of safety regulations-- everything from just day to day use of equipment#to entire protocols that emergency services and other people use#whose entire purpose is 'we need to go above and beyond'#'so that we know beyond a shadow of a doubt we have done everything we can do to protect others'#and like that's the principle that the autobots embody. and it's not just a story thing#that's something that happens in real life too. in real life we valorize people who didn't have to do everything they could to save other pe#people but did it anyways. you know???#like the point isn't to say 'if you don't kill yourself to save others then you're a bad person'#the point is to say that we valorize people who DO go above and beyond because they embody the greatest standards of care and selfishness#so like for example yeah the autobots often protect organic species at great tactical loss and personal danger to themselves#but it's because the principle of equality and protection guides them such that they believe this is a noble pursuit#because it is. it is noble to do what's difficult and inconvenient to save other people without expecting recognition#and also in a way it's just the morally and philosophically correct thing to do? like if your choice could possibly do harm to someone#the moral response is to go 'maybe i shouldn't do that because i don't want to hurt people for my own ends'#not for you to go 'well i might NOT hurt them by accident there's only a chance of it so i'll just keep doing my thing'#people who disregard others because 'it's probably not going to hurt them' or 'it's not my problem if they get hurt'#are not people that we would generally call admirable or morally correct#and i think the existence of so many safety and ethical standards IRL proves this#because people/society as a whole know that we have a duty to be SURE that we don't hurt others even by accident#and we have a duty to check whether people might get hurt by accident even if we're 100% sure that no one will get hurt.#it's like fucking checking your windows before you reverse your car. yes you already looked once so there's probably no one behind your car#but it's the responsible and moral thing for you to keep checking your mirrors for the 1% chance that there IS someone#sorry for ranting
