i said i won't liveblog and i mean it but i do have to say a few things though about revisiting pla after having finally familiarized myself with the original media-
•laventon’s theme gives me hearthome city theme vibes. i think the opening rhythm is the same. it's weird for that to be his theme out of anything but my musically trained ear does not lie to me
•i’m kind of amazed someone else had to point out to me how the obsidian fieldlands/prelude beach cutscene theme is twinleaf town with an altered rhythm. i mean granted i didn’t pay that much attention to twinleaf town but like the obsidian fieldlands theme is one of my favorite songs i should have been listening close for it
•edit- i think obsidian fieldlands also references sandgem town a tiny bit? possibly canalave city? it's small enough to be coincidental but it would make sense geographically
•tons of name references. canala avenue. floaro gardens. sandgem flats. veilstone cape. spring path. wayward cave. celestica ruins. solaceon ruins. etc
•so at what point in time did cyllene/her descendants overthrow kamado/his descendants in the galaxy team’s rankings. lol
•galaxy hall theme is rowan’s lab theme! seriously uh. when did the rift between these families start
•i noticed right away while playing platinum… but the celestica flute tone, azure flute tone, and galaxy team rank-up jingle all reference the music from the opening movie for dppt! it was like overwhelming to get hit with all those at once for me when booting up my ds lemme tell you
other random commentary:
•volo having a togepi really is pretty ridiculous. just goes to show the kinda guy he is. totally not special at all right. your descendant gave me one of those and i named it after you boy. i'm going to abuse volo this run btw. the man not the baby egg i mean
•amazing how when i choose the male protagonist suddenly i get the super lucky rare female starter (it was cyndaquil btw). granted i also got the rare female gift eevee from bebe while playing as the female protag in platinum but like i think to get that sort of luck with your starter is something especially meaningful. so i'm going to do the #malefeminist run. my challenge is to only use female mons

I had the idea of the brothers sharing their music tastes with each other. Then it turned into this.
In case you can’t read my handwriting the songs are:
-“Black Bear Road” by C.W. McCall
-“Lay All Your Love On Me” by ABBA
-“Candy Paint” by Post Malone
-“Numb” by Linkin Park
-“Hurt” by Johnny Cash
(Also to be clear, Floyd is happy that Branch has similar tastes in music, not that he’s sad.)
(Also also, I think John Dory would have a complicated history with country music since I love the idea of JD and Delta Dawn being exs lol)
(Also also also Poppy gave Branch the boom box, that’s why is has some stickers on it)

Also the whole “do you know what they would call me if I was a man?” “strong?” “Reginald” scene literally had me laughing so hard I almost pissed myself

the thing that gets me when watching random merlin bts videos is just how much work went into producing this silly show... I'll make fun of the little blue sidhe and then they'll interview someone from the costume department going "yes the makeup took us 8 hours to put together :)" or one of the CGI guys will talk about how they spent months trying to figure out how to animate kilgharrah and I'll feel bad for ever laughing at the bad special effects. the beautiful sets, the gorgeous handsewn gowns, the music. so much love was poured into this project it makes me a bit emotional if I think about it too much
