I have 198 high-concept CD-R-length mixes but because I can't afford Spotify premium anymore and my precious iPod playlists only appear when I'm plugged into Winamp, it's down with mixes! Up with albums! These will be today's soundtrack!

Pavement — Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal (Matador)

youtube

It was not necessarily clear, in 1999, that Pavement would be the one indie darling 20-plus years later with all of their albums getting the deluxe reissue treatment, and even more recently it seemed at least possible that their swan song still wouldn’t. Pavement’s first four records got expanded editions at a steady pace from 2002 through 2008, and then there was a career-spanning best of in 2010 (including exactly one track from Terror Twilight) and then… So with the belated-for-whatever-reason Farewell Horizontal version now in the world and the sometimes-still-playing-live quintet making no obvious move towards new music, the very existence of this set feels kind of monumental regardless of the actual contents. Those of us who grew up with a certain echelon of our parents’ music getting this kind of treatment even for “lesser” albums have finally seen it through with one of our own. And if it knocks some of the dust off of a fine, often great album that at the time was surrounded with lots of confusing and sometimes distressing context, so much the better.

Kids these days, even ones who love Pavement records, may not fully get from those records that Pavement were of sufficient subcultural prominence that critics would accuse them of making records designed to shrink their fanbase. In that light you can imagine how bringing in Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich and making a record in a big fancy studio that pretty much sounds like it was made in a big fancy studio went over. The common thread between ‘obtuse’ earlier records and this ‘sellout’ one, as noted in the interviews included in Farewell Horizontal, was that the band was just trying to make the best Pavement record they could at the time, and with a little historical distance that’s just what the original Terror Twilight sounds like. Part of the fun is hearing Godrich’s relatively polished sheen applied to songs that would have fit in just fine on Brighten the Corners; whatever similarities there are, it’s still like Pavement with a different accent. Stephen Malkmus had done impressive guitar-guy stuff before but “The Hexx” (a career highlight, sounding much better here than in the half-baked version they essayed and then shelved for the previous record) and “Cream of Gold” just dig in and blast the doors off in a way the band had never really managed before. The two songs added late enough that most of the band didn’t even play on them, “Major Leagues” and “Carrot Rope,” do make for a lovelier ballad and goofier pop move than Malkmus had previously attempted, but it’s a difference of degree, not quality. And the more off-kilter stuff like “Platform Blues” and “Speak, See, Remember” arguably benefits the most from the studio treatment.

So while there’s a notable tendency, both then and now, to look at records like this and treat them like the outside force (producer or otherwise) is somehow subverting the band, this wasn’t a case where Godrich or any particular aesthetic concerns were forced on Pavement. As Bob Nastanovich says in the round-table interview he, Mark Ibold, and Steve West give in the booklet here, “I can understand this preoccupation with worrying about Nigel being in control, and worrying about it not really sounding like a Pavement record, but then again we also didn’t want it to sound like the other Pavement records.” People in bands generally know what they’ve done before and how people expect them to sound, and often when there’s a change, it’s on purpose. That interview and the other similar material here (additional comments from Godrich, a separate essay by Spiral Stairs, and a 1999 interview with Malkmus) might actually be the biggest benefit to checking out the reissue. The context is fascinating and everyone concerned seems pretty at peace with the record they made and how everything, including the at-the-time end of the band, went down.

Notably, nobody else in Pavement seems to have any reluctance to acknowledge (or bad feelings towards) the fact that Pavement was essentially Stephen Malkmus’s band. Terror Twilight may have been the first time he showed up with detailed demos, which perversely may have added to the frustration of the stop-and-start process of switching studios and trying to get the rest of the band comfortable with the songs, and it’s the only Pavement album without Spiral Stairs songs, but based on the information here it feels like these are relatively slight adjustments from how they usually worked. Those demos and other early versions make up the bulk of the time on Farewell Horizontal and they’re pretty par for the course for that kind of material; interesting enough to hear if you’re familiar with the album, but not the sort of thing most listeners will need to return to often.

The other material fares a little better; the few offcuts are fine (although it’s hard not to be curious what they would have sounded given the full Godrich, particularly the two Spiral Stairs tracks), and the live tracks are fun (especially the album-closing, raucous cover of CCR’s “Sinister Purpose”). One of the most high profile and possibly contentious additions is both only on the vinyl issue of Farewell Horizontal and not really any new material: the long-discussed original running order for Terror Twilight, set by Godrich before Spiral Stairs came up with the version actually released in 1999.

It’s hard to control for the familiarity of anyone who picked up the album when it came out when trying to figure out which sequencing is ‘better’, but while Godrich does a good job in the booklet of explaining his thinking (sequencing the relatively challenging combo of “Platform Blues” and “The Hexx” as an intro, and keeping most of the thornier material for side A), the release version does feel more cohesive by virtue of not trying to split up different types of material, and Spiral Stairs did make what still feels like some really good choices when it comes to the places where Terror Twilight still needs to change direction (“Cream of Gold” into “Major Leagues” and “The Hexx” into “Carrot Rope” in particular). There’s also the addition in Godrich’s version of the just over a minute instrumental “Shagbag,” which isn’t particularly offensive (and in fact the little intros and linking bits he’s added to songs here are generally pretty successful) but also doesn’t add much. Issuing the deluxe version of Terror Twilight like this, committing to neither sequence, speaks to the difficulties and awkwardness around the albums creation and reception and the end of Pavement’s original run in general. But, whatever a given listener’s quibbles or preferences around the two versions of the album, there’s another thing that points to a core truth about Terror Twilight: both versions still ultimately sound pretty damn good.

Twilight and Legends relationship

...I love it

**in this post there's a lot of stuff I didn't notice before. I'm gonna resist the urge to write an essay on each point, and attempt to leave most of it up to the reader's interpretation**

Ok ok there's a ton of stuff here, starting with early character scenes

They're like the rest of the chain: They fight together and talk. Legend is close to Hyrule, and Twilight to Wild and Time.

We see some things Twilight and Legend have in common. One is their dislike of Hyrule knights, and-

As seen in the Gerudo clothes scene, both Twi and Leg like to mess around with pranks and have a lot of snark... wonder what would happen if they worked together

But there's something really important about how Twilight views Legend:

I wasn't aware this was before looking closely at their interactions but... Twilight didn't originally like Legend. This is shown a lot later on- in his facial expressions and words towards Legend. But from the start he didn't like him much, and here's why:

From the start, Jojo says this- Twilight judges Legend's actions as too harsh since his mannerisms come across as picking on someone. (Also Sky you are so so pure and cute 10/10 most huggable Link)

Legend is abrasive because he's had so many adventures- he's hardened to the point of being sharp. But it's wonderful that that character can still be so loved- his heart is good (hero duh)

Twilight has always been a big brother. It makes him well loved (rightly so). Jojo says he knows people can change- for good or bad. But because of his past Twilight doesn't like people picking on others "not even a little". It's complicated- we see it affect Twilight's attitude towards Legend a lot.

Anywho moving on to the plot

Wolfie, Aka twilight

Dark mirror stuff happens, and Legend finds out Twi's Wolfie- as we all know. But he can't just. Acknowledge it of course. He's gotta probe and tease, asking pointed questions (snark snark snark)

And in his attempts to be certain about the Wolf stuff, we were blessed with:

Bunny Legend

Welp. That investigation did not go as planned.

Animal forms:

Bunnies are soft, but Legends actions are not. He is guarded and sharp yet his form shows how sweet his true heart is

Wolves will love/protect their family yet are fierce, they have fangs and will fight. The root of who Twilight is is his kindness and family

Also (sarcastic) good job to Four and Wild for being SO SUBTLE with their emotions when Legend's asking questions hinting he knows Twi's secret

Legend: asking questions about the secret shhh

Four and Wild: Are having a freaking heart attack about it

Twilight: starts ranting about goats

...

Once Twilight gets over the shock of Legend like. Absorbing his crystal. He... well, looking at the harshness in his face and words, this is where Legend's attitude and his past with Colin being bullied biased him against Legend.

Look at his face in each panel through the progression- Twilight is more and more confused thinking legend is not who he thought he was...

And Twilight certainly sympathizes/relates to being hurt by losing someone he loved (in whatever form the relationship took)

And WHY is it always girlfriend trauma with these boys of COURSE it's girlfriend trauma that brings them together NOT SHARING A SPIRIT AND LOVE OF SWINGING GLORIFIED METAL NO THEY HAVE TO BOND OVER RELATIONSHIPS GONE WRONG

Twilight then thinks well that's a good reason to be pretty changed because from the start Jojo said he'll always understand people changing...

So they go, and make legend human again (with pink hair) and Legend is... surprised. And grateful...

Another few defining moments:

Legend's dialogue thanking him is the real start of them connecting like in Leg's original character description "the most reliable, you want him on your team"

And again Twi's face, Twilight is looking at Leg differently throughout this- contemplating to be honest. Considering...

And remember when I said these two both like to prank? Well the second they have a shared experience and get back to camp they immediately team up and start barraging Warriors with snark

Heaven help the chain when these two are on the same side

Legend has never been close to people outside of the few he's accepted as his (love him and hyrule's bond). After this? Twilight's one of his people. There's much more expression of caring and closeness towards Twilight- something we don't see with many.

And then, well, Twilight nearly dies. And Legend, he cares

Bunny boys puppy dog eyes are gonna kill me someday

Twilights pretty injured, he really doesn't see/remember all these moments showing how much Legend wants to help

And then we have this moment

this moment

Matters so so much

Look at Twi's face. Look at his surprise, realization, and acceptance- this is when he realizes- when he sees how much Legend cares for him

Twi woke from his deathbed for his family

and then in the next few updates it's really cute- he just is barely recovering and legend is just... beside him. Staying by his side

Animal forms later development:

Legend's bunny form is soft- but he is still not totally soft. Looking at Legends actions and facial expressions towards the others, while he's definitely closer to Twi now, he's still the snarky boy we know and love.

Twilight's Wolf form is loyal and loves family: Once he knows legends heart? Full on pack love.

And WHY were they so very intent on petting each other

Legend: I'm gonna go try and pet the wolf since I think he's my dude yes good plan

Twilight: I KNOW THIS IS WEIRD BUT IVE NEVER PET A RABBIT BEFORE LET ME TOUCH YOU

...

Here's a few random parallels of them to chew on because I love parallels (them snarky snarking each other, then some brother love parallels)

The thing with these two is their character bonding and whatever is not all sweet and lovey like some of the others. They have some REALLY sweet caring moments with each other. But snark plus snark equals double snark, meaning them together is the weirdest mix of kindness and teasing you've ever seen

And although at the beginning they were pretty harsh towards each other, it makes their getting closer and learning their similarities all the better.

#lots of food for thought #I was surprised to notice Jojos words and Twi's expressions showing he didn't like Legend at first #maybe the progression is the best part #they are so close and care so much #but the pranking???#literally the second they get back to camp after bonding they start messing with the others #the snarkiest boys what mischief will they commit #they're terrifying together #if legend hyrule and wild are the terror trio maybe these two are the terror duo #maybe legend being friends with anyone is just terrifying #loz #linked universe #linkeduniverse #lu #lu twilight #Lu legend #I love them so much #now onward! to homework!#ugh college

After watching “It’s a Good Life” on The Twilight Zone, you start to realize that this whole “there’s no such thing as objective good or objective bad, morality is relative” is just self-protective. We’re just afraid of real evil. We’re just afraid of real good. Because we can’t control it. Because we didn’t decide on it.

This episode of a TV show about a boy who can and does kill you if you think anything he does is “evil” or anything he hates is “good” points out that we’d rather change the definition of good and evil if it makes us feel safe…than risk ourselves by confronting Real Evil, or protecting Real Good.

The townspeople would rather say murdering dogs and children is Good, and life without food or music is Good, than stand up to the terrifying Real Evil.

Go watch that episode, where they say “It’s a Good Life” as their crops freeze and their music and art disappears—then come tell me that “everyone’s definition of good and evil is what’s right for them.”

Hello, my Reylo beauties! Here is “Chapter 1” of my new fic, written for the Twilight Zone Reylo Collection II. It’s inspired by both the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride at Disney and the Elevator Game you might’ve seen on the Internet. 🖤🤍

TITLE: Elevator to Another Dimension

RATING: Explicit

SUMMARY:

“Long ago, on a stormy night much like this, movie star Ben Solo disappeared after lightning struck the elevator shaft of the Twilight Tower Hotel. Ever since then, the allegedly haunted hotel has sat closed, unwanted, and abandoned. But now, decades later, the hotel is to be renovated. Rey, a lover of classic Ben Solo films, has been tasked with bringing the broken-down elevator back to life.

What secrets does the old elevator hold? And what really happened to Ben Solo all those years ago? When she steps inside the elevator, Rey just might discover that elevators can take you to more than different floors in a building. In fact, elevators may actually have the ability to transport you to . . . another dimension.”

Favorite Disney Parks Attraction Showdown: Round 7/FINALS

Videos and propaganda under the cut!

Haunted Mansion: Disneyland, WDW Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland

Propaganda:

"The ride system was perfected by Bob Gurr, gay icon. Seriously, any Disney gays and Haunted Mansion gays, thank gay icon, Bob Gurr for giving us an iconic ride vehicle and system. The whole ride is iconic. It inspired modern day horror tropes, gives goth kids a cool ride to enjoy as they pretend not to enjoy their trip with family when they actually do, has that really interesting spider story in the ballroom scene, X Atencio giving us an iconic song, story, script, and voice acting in the Lemme Outta Here ghost and the break down spiel, THE FREAKING STRETCHING ROOM, THE WALLPAPER!!!!!! Hatbox Ghost being an urban legend, with his existence being argued and questioned for years until we finally got a blurry picture confirmation and him coming back years later, ICONIC! Madame Leota and Little Leota! The hitchhiking ghosts!!! GHOST HOST!!!! The freaking conveyor belt at the end of the attraction that you step off to and if your not careful, it's easy to almost fall, accidentally giving one last scare before you leave the ride and makes you realize how clumsy you are? Iconic. "

"This is a ride that I was absolutely terrified of when I was a little kid. I actually have photographic evidence of this (ask for it if you'd like). But, my goodness, this rough start only made me love it all the more as I grew up. This is such a fun and goofy ride despite the morbid theme and occasional eerie bits! It's a duality. The ghosts have such a personality and the Ghost Host is such a charming guide (and I find the fact that he abandons you to go join the swinging wake hilarious, especially because you wander into the attic with Constance when unguided). It's just such a well-crafted ride! There's so much to see and I never get tired of it. The Doombuggy itself is an ingenious way to move people through the ride with such a distinctive design. The Ghost Host raising and lowering the lap bar for you is neat (fun fact, The Phantom in Phantom Manor is a terrible host and doesn't do this for you, probably because he's too busy planning your death. Asshole.). The effects in the ride are so cool and hold up, especially the Pepper's Ghosts effect. The rooms are distinct and eccentric. The Grim Grinning Ghosts song is absolutely delightful, and it's such a nice touch that you can distinguish the vocals of different ghosts you see in the graveyard. I should also just give a shout-out to the soundtrack for the ride as a whole, which wonderfully warps the Grim Grinning Ghosts theme to match the scene you're in. The ride also does such a good job of plunging you straight into the experience with facade of the mansion (I adore the look of the conservatory) and the queue. The tombstones are so funny and I really appreciate the interactive elements they added in the exterior section. And then you get inside the mansion, hear the Ghost Host's narration, and get into the Stretching Room. How can I describe that room other than frightfully fun? So, why Walt Disney World instead of Disneyland? I prefer experiencing the changing portraits on the ride rather than in the queue. I love the library as the setting for the busts that watch you. The music room with the ghost you can only see in shadow playing a version of Grim Grinning Ghosts is captivating. And, my goodness, the staircase room takes my breath away and I love watching the ghostly footsteps on the stairs. It's even going to have the Hatbox Ghost soon (I am not weighing in on the discourse over the potential location for him).

"I love it. I love ghosties. I love the effects. I love women who murder their husbands. I love the jaunty tunes. I love having to stop for 4 minutes not even partway into the ride and having to watch the same things going on for ages. I love a good ghoul ride, man "

"Epic conveyer belt keeps the line moving (though that won't always stop the line from being long)."

youtube

Tower of Terror: WDW Hollywood Studios, Paris Walt Disney Studios Park, California Adventure (2004-2017), Tokyo DisneySea

Propaganda:

"you forget how scary it is until you watch the preshow. and then you forget how fun it is until you ride the ride. 10/10 would recommend went on it with my friends twice last time we went."

"WE LOVE HORROR MEDIA REPRESENTATION!!! ONLY PUSSIES TAKE THE STAIRS"

"This ride made me absolutely terrified of elevators for a bit. xD Anyway, the bellhop cast members are hilarious. The hotel that is covered in cobwebs and was clearly abandoned in a rush after a terrible event is so cool. The Rod Sterling Twilight Zone intro is iconic. The basement is an interesting setting for the final part of the queue. The generators, lights, and floor indicator malfunctioning helps build your anticipation. The friggin elevator moving into the hallway and into a new shaft when the electrical ghosts make their appearance and you enter the Twilight Zone is so impressive. The dropping and rising of the elevator is such fun and I love the randomized events they added. I have to say, though, that ventriloquist dummy in the unloading room still makes me uncomfortable."

"Who doesn't love a creepy dark drop narrated by the man, the myth, the legend Rod Serling himself?"

Tw: t*rrorism

Since today is that day, I have wondered if you have any idea as to why Stephenie Meyer chose this day to be Renesmee's birthday?

I mean, I know her birthday is meant to be 2 days before Bella’s and hers is the 13th September, but I’ve always wondered why she chose that specific day 🤔

You know, I have to say, I find it hilarious when you anons seem to think I have any kind of insight into what Meyer is thinking about any given topic.

That woman is an alien to me, I have no idea why she makes the writing decisions she makes.
