I am curious, what is Dolls of new albion? I am intrigued
OH HI
the dolls of new albion is a steampunk-inspired opera. it is amazing i listened to it this afternoon and it has rewired my brain
it is split into four acts, the first following annabel mcalistair, who- because of an extremely unhealthy obsession- brings a guy called jasper back from the dead, putting him in the body of a doll.
although she eventually realises that this was not a good thing (dead people do not like being put in doll bodies and they really do not like being brought back from the afterlife), the rest of the acts follow her ancestors as the city of new albion is changed dramatically several times as a result of the dolls, starting with annabel's son discovering and recreating her work, then continuing on as each ancestor is extremely Not Normal about jasper in their own unique ways.
its got really interesting themes of objectification, repeating cycles, and the difference between how we view something and how it truly is.
the characters are all little bastards and i love them each one of them
there are a few recordings of perfomances online (including one with tim meredith. as in gunpowder tim the mechanisms. playing annabel's son edgar), or bc its an opera (no dialogue only songs) u could just listen to the album. its less than an hour and a half, so a fairly short watch/listen time
its the first of a tetraology of operas about new albion. i have not listened to the others yet but i know they will only make me less normal

LYRICS / TRANSLATION + FURTHER Taishiro Ficverse-spoilery notes under the “read more” !
* This original song DOES NOT have an originating music video so this imagery was mainly compiled BY MY IDEAS /YEAH/ * There IS an old Fanmade video to the song ( bUT IT IS NOT OFFICIAL/SEMI-OFFICIAL BY ANY MEANS ) ( unlike the well-known "KageDaze" fanmade video by Wannyanpuu ) [ who later became one of the official Kagepro animators ] ( her music video there was not official but there have been seeming throwbacks to her style in other official music videos at times ... ) * However the Gunjou Rain fanmade video DOES give a clear example of how the original song should be viewed for that canon (should you be interested) * PSUEDO-character deaths implied in song hOWEVER * IT'S MOSTLY VIA FLASHBACKS ..... IT'S A VERY PRETTY SONG I SWEAR ..... * The Psuedo-death does not involve the major character [officially] but it does involve a side/supporting character in original Kagepros series * Psuedo-deaths involving Taishiro/KOUSHIRO ARE here as usual however * part of these were, yes, again lifted from my much earlier KageDaze / Red videos (specifically the “Red” edit clip) * oK BUT * THERE'S A GORGEOUS ELECTRIC GUITAR SOLO TOWARDS THE END * Multiple parts of this thing DEFINITELY gave me trouble ( mainly : matching up lyrics to my ficverse while different story themes OTL ) * and also matching them to scenes that aren't filler * later on I'll go and smooth it over + fix glitches but fOR NOW /YEAH/
* I THREW IN SOME 2020!TAISHIROS FOR MAXIMUM FEELS ( THANK YOU TOEI ) ....................................... ;;;;;; ;A;/
TRI/SPOILERS involve: - aesthetics/background scenery from Ketsui and also Soushitsu - KOKUHAKU [ Koushiro (+Tentomon) scenes towards middle-end ] - KYOUSEI [ if you know what happens to Taichi at end, you know spoiler ] - no major “ Bokura no Mirai ” (Final Tri movie/ending) spoilers this time - some DIGIMON ADVENTURE 2020 scenes featuring Taichi+Koushiro
{ LYRICS } [ Verses 1 ]
" I CAN'T SLEEP , " YOU wailed,
... so I read you   a storybook ,
... As the raindrops KNOCKED on the roof. ...
When I put in the bookmark ,
and said   I’ll read it again TOMORROW , ...
... You were already snoozing away . ...
... ( instrumental ) [ Verses 1-2 ]
You say you  WANT TO GO   OUT , but the reason  I DON'T  LET YOU ,
... ISN'T BECAUSE I " HATE YOU " AT ALL ... ...
... Yes, it’s about   CONVENIENCE ---
BUT IT PAINS ME IN MY CHEST .
... So I’ve said  " SORRY "  AGAIN AND AGAIN . ... [ Verses 1-3 ]
There’s  A W O R L D  STARTING TO  S P I N ,
And I HAVEN'T EVEN   TOLD YOU  ... about it   yet
But   I TELL YOU ,
" DON'T MAKE "     " EYE CONTACT " ,
so that   SOMEDAY ,
... YOU and    YOUR EYES
CAN DO WHAT  YOU     “ LIKE ”
WITH THE    WORLD  .....
[ Chorus 1 ]
I   HATED   YESTERDAY ,
I   HATED   THE W O R L D ,
BUT I'VE   CHANGED ,
and I’ll     LOVE     TOMORROW
... And might you   REALIZE      " LOVE " ,
MEET S O M E O N E ,
... And  MAKE   A FUTURE    OF YOUR  OWN ?
On your "bed" , you happily    SNOOZE ,
And  IT MAKES ME  SO  HAPPY ,
I’m   ON THE VERGE OF   T E A R S .....
... ( instrumental )
[ Verses 2 ]
There’s more stillness in the night.
Through the gaps in the trees,
... Pleasant breezes continue to blow . ...
... ( instrumental )
Will " TOMORROW " be  SUNNY ?
My chest starts to  HURT AGAIN .
... / I CAN'T LET YOU GO OUTSIDE / . ...
... ( instrumental ) [ Verses 2-2 ]
Making excuses for my sleeplessness,
I REMEMBER SOMETHING .
... A MEMORY from MY YOUTH . ...
ALWAYS WITH MY      “ FATHER ” ( ? )
I waited for [ MY MOTHER ] to [ RETURN ] , ( ?? )
... Though I’d already   WAITED   [ “ DECADES ” ( ??? ) ] . ... [ Verses 2-3 ]
... While [ I ] spent my time alone ,
I    FELL IN LOVE    MYSELF ,
... and things got   B U S Y  ... for me.
... And YOU can   " L O V E "   THIS  SAME WORLD  TODAY ,
With YOUR EYES ,
... and the   WONDERFUL THINGS   you do ...
[ Chorus 2 ]
DAYS   COME AND GO ,
SEASONS PASS ,
I WIPE   YOUR TEARS ,
... AND YOU  S M I L E .
And   FOR THAT    ALONE ,
I want to   HOLD ONTO   YOU   TIGHT
... Or so I   FIND MYSELF   THINKING ...
And if   THE FUTURE   is TO COME
" KNOCKING " ONE of THESE DAYS ,
I want to  SEND THEM OFF
with REASSURANCE and a S M I L E . ...
... ( instrumental / interlude ) ...
[ Interlude Verses ]

{ FURTHER NOTES }
the fanmade music video for original themes (/not/ official or by producers in any way): [ however it's basically exactly what happens canon-wise /yup/ ] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGndj2aIEm4 
 spoilery notes RE: PSUEDO DEATHS / WARNINGS: * the singer in the song is the mother of Mary in Kagepro who is a Medusa. * "Don't make eye contact" / etc. re: "EYES" is all related to that plot in Kagepros * in Repeatverse / this AMV this is all working qUITE different hOWEVER * YOSHIE DOES PROBABLY TRY TO INTERFERE AT SOME POINTS * PARTICULARLY IN VAMDEMON ARC y E A H * BOTH IZUMIS PROBABLY ATTEMPT TO LATER ON AS WELL * obviously they're doing this to PROTECT KOUSHIRO re the middle portion verses: * this is also more Kagepros relevant than 'verse relevant but I tried to match it up OTL * basically Kagepros mother is re: above spoiler ALSO part Medusa. She waits decades for her own "mother" to return * I tried to manipulate these bits here with Koushiro and Yoshie / Izumis * basically uh in some timelines MAYBE Yoshie ends up "waiting" in similar ways * i.e. maybe the entire Izumi family could become affected aT POINTS ......... * POSSIBLY INVOLVING IZUMIS WE NEVER REALLY GOT TO SEE ......... * but yeah those lines are probably better read from Koushiro's POV before switching back to Yoshie * i.e. maybe in some timelines it's KOUSHIRO waiting for YOSHIE to return etc * in others Masami or Mr Izumi ends up going first to protect them BOTH and yEAH * in fact it's probably Mr Izumi who first tries to intervene to protect them but * Yoshie gets upset she's not able to do anything * maybe there's timelines that alternate with this theme though
* a bunch of things in notes above kinda were vaguely ?? ? included in the 'verse in this part: https://archiveofourown.org/works/14414505/chapters/40780040 ( which was ALSO inspired by the same song uh ..... yup )
^ I included A BUNCH OF REFERENCE LINKS ABOVE to some of my past posts / Koushiro caps and Japanese version references so you can get a better idea of the themes + Koushiro character develoment / introspections all being presented here + AND HOW TRI’S KOUSHIRO STORYLINE DIRECTLY TIES IN TO EVERYTHING CONNECTED/PRESENTED TO THE ORIGINAL ADVENTURE / 02 STORYLINE SCENES WITH YOSHIE {/KAE}
AND KOUSHIRO’S TENDENCY TO
“Speak formally” * and how he
IMPROVES THROUGHOUT 02/TRI
(I hope my implications are coming through?!???)
( * Since apparently the wider Western / US / English dub fandom tends to COMPLETELY not understand Japanese version!Koushiro’s implied / extended storyline re: him speaking formally most of the time
[also in relation to his use of Japanese honorifics] +
{his insisting use of “ Taichi-san” may ALSO be relevant} and how this all connects to HIS ADOPTION STORYLINE even though . KOUSHIRO’S STORY is ... REALLY NOT that hard to understand you guys COME ON... ... ;;)
* SOMEDAY * SOMEDAY I’LL BE ABLE TO COMPILE ALL THIS KOUSHIRO + IZUMI FAMILY INTROSPECTIONS INTO A * ACTUALLY COHESIVE ANALYSIS
* but today is not that day so HAVE THIS AMV INSTEAD ;A;/
* A RELEVANT AND VERY GOOD KOUSHIRO META POST ( not by me but RELEVANT TO THESE THOUGHTS / THEMES )

Takes magic lessons from Wiz( that magician guy that no one seems to remember/care about?). As it turns out, their brand of magic is not anything she can pull off.
Works as their assistant sometimes... Even if it can be slightly terrifying because of their methods (their magic lets them make the tricks a bit more than just illusions). Shaddy has gotten cut in half (or more parts) more times than she cares to count.
Actually more interested in drama, but she's taken what she got.
She's good friends with Shadow Kirby! They hang out a lot!

i don’t have a proper ref for him, but there is this
he has dark fur, for all that matters
i dont trust him
very strong magic
the master crown was his own personal project
he didn’t trust anyone else with it so i think you can imagine who the subject of his experiments with it was.
destroyed most of the evidence of his experiments before his death so no one would know about them
it worked

guess who’s also one of the ancients (it’s him)
actually has a proper ref

Does Cash still have any connection to Spoon's other half? If they do, what's that like?
Cash does! But it is …….complicated.
Here’s some juicy spoilery inside info. Enjoy! Actually don’t enjoy, a lot of what i wrote is horribly depressing and sad so uh. Enjoy the EPIC SADS. 
Spoon never quit being an agent, but he first was hospitalized for a few months before returning to the office. Even then, he took a lot of time off to just rest at home and adjust to his new physical/emotional situation. Fork was there, almost the entire time and barely left his side for I’d say.. the first year or so? (until he was sent off to prison) (it has been 6 years since he exploded/knife vanished) And he has not returned to the field except for uh, the mission that is currently happening in the present day comic. (Where he is cornered by Rock/shot in the leg. That is his first returning field mission in all this time.)Cash tried to check on Spoon while he stayed in the hospital but like, honestly he wasn’t very positively.. responsive to her. He was not excited or happy to see her at all. In fact, if anything, he didn’t want to see her because he felt she influenced the downfall of his relationship with Knife. He spent so much time with her instead during the past 30 years when really he should have been with Knife. Now Knife was gone and he doesn’t.. Even want to look at her, really. He can tell she pities him and is worried and its honestly disgusting. He did this to himself, he knows that. Its a miracle he survived, He knows that too. Dont give me those pamphlets about prosthetic surgery, I don’t need that, I dont care how realistic it can look. I can do all this on my own. I don’t need help to get to the bathroom. Fuck you! Im FINE.He feels ashamed about his ‘flawed’ devotion to his deceased loved one..  he wants to try and repair that devotion in the present day by excluding himself from anything that brings him joy, really. Besides continuing to murder his species, but that’s not a (completely) fun thing anymore. Its sort of out of desperation. I mean. He is punishing himself by denying happiness (of having emotional connections to others) but he is trying to survive and continue on because Knife would want him to .. do that.. but he is avoiding that knife would also want him to be Happy. but he just cannot accept that part. he is going to survive, miserably. which he is doing so far and is great at it… yay!!Lashing out at Fork (and destroying his dream to go to wibbleworld) was …… an act of selfish, unplanned indulgence but he tries to keep himself, like, as amicable as he can with fork.. uh, besides that, i suppose. He loathes fork but Fork is important to Knife and he is still guilty over fucking up everything. God he misses Knife so much that having Fork around almost helps make him pretend Knife isn’t dead and is actually around somewhere, maybe in the other room reading a book. Fork is just good at acting like everything is fine/normal and thats sort of…comforting. He wouldn’t admit that though. He wouldn’t really give Fork the satisfaction of hearing that. (Too bad Fork already knows.)Distancing himself from Cash is self punishment but he’s also aware she’s harboring a serious secret from him, but he doesn’t know what it is. He has a feeling it is to due with his other half. He knows they’re involved with it somehow, the way she talks and tries to urge him to take better care of himself is with a familiarity that he feels like he missed out on. Like, something about how she is not *as* surprised to see his body in this condition as he thinks she should be.. How she knows things about his body before he does, certain hang ups or issues, ect, she’s always ready to offering advice to deal w/ them as if she has gone through it before. Sometimes shes even predicted what he is going to say before he says it. He doesn’t like it. He is suspicious of why she is not explaining more about what happened during the day he exploded, what she was doing, why it took her a while to visit him in the hospital. What was she so busy with? He hates that. He hates that he is not the most important Half to Cash. He wants to know where his other half is anyway, why won’t she tell him. Why is he avoiding himself. Cash feels guilty but cannot do anything about it.. she can’t answer his questions. As She is respecting the wishes of Scissor, who is avoiding his other half and pretty much just laughs/mocks at any news Cash gives him about his.. other self’s recovery. Cash is angry about that but Scissor doesn��t give a shit, he thinks Spoon sucks. Its HIS fault Knife is dead anyway. :)))))))) So in return of Cash not telling him things, Spoon holds secrets of his own, from anyone. (That is… what he knows about this mysterious “Locket.”) Deep deep down, Spoon almost feels Knife is still… alive somewhere and he is going to find him without anyone else’s help. He is going to be the special one this time. His other half can move on and have Cash. “Lol!! go ahead. I totally don’t care that you ditched me. (Even tho deep down I secretly hope we can somehow refuse because my god. i am just a leg.)”But then he thinks if Knife is still alive what would he even think of what’s happened to him. Would he even… want him anymore. Although if he was alive that wouldnt matter even if he didnt want what’s left of him, He’d give anything to just have Knife be ok. Even if Knife hated him, or worse: felt nothing about him at all. (Hate would be better, because it is a strong emotion and would be a valid feeling as Spoon is mean to fork! and cheated on him with cash! and like, so many things. If Knife hated him he’d understand like, 100%. If anything that is just assuring on some many levels that his attempted explosion was probably a good thing because anything Knife hates should go away.)Anyway, spoon spends most of his freetime laying in bed and staring at the wall and trying to figure out how he can kill everyone/maybe destroy the world too? because fuck it. Knife is totally for real dead no matter how annoying that little itch in the back of his mind says he might not actually be. Might as well have fun imagining everyone else suffer and die. That is a totally healthy pasttime spoon, what the fuck.Then Spoon imagines knife and his memories of knife and cries (like, a lot) and falls into a sleep where he dreams everything is fine and him and Knife are running thru a meadow of flowers and happy and grinning JK you are awake now and everything is terrible welcome to your LIFE!So Yeah Cash and Spoon aren’t in the best of terms rn. Fork is the only one that Spoon talks to anymore, really. (And they don’t talk much.)Although, the strangest thing is that he’s formed a closer uh.. friendship? (if u could call it that.) with Leadman. The two of them love to stare soullessly at walls together. I wonder what’s going on with that… huh
