Badlands Cola

Badlands cola

Badlands Cola is a cinematic mystery/horror audio drama about eldritch fossils, hate-flirting, and liminal nightmares that yawn wide in the night. In a desert town full of strange fossils and even stranger people, a hard-hearted PI and a broken-down radio DJ attempt to dig up the skeletal past of a cult before it can reform. I don't think this podcast is that good. It has some interesting things that they could have gone further into like the house or the repeating town. I feel like the podcast goes too much on the “hate-flirting” and not on the horror of bone gods and house of leaves style homes. There are a lot of hooks none of them are baited correctly so i just don't what to bite

Player-webcomic

Through posting a "Best Comment", I somehow became the main character of a webtoon! I like how the god figure in this story is active in the story and not just showering the main character with skills and gifts, he is also rather villain-like or like an absent father to most of the ego weapons. The main character is so cool and does not see the rest of the cast as something less than or less human. Evan the rest of the cast is strong and thare

What Do You Wish for With Muddy Eyes-manga

One day, Raizou ​​Takakura, an average salaryman, had a heart attack and his life ended that day. But, he got a second life in a different world. Reincarnated with strong skills― wasn't what happened to him. Instead, he was reincarnated as a foot soldier in a small country, Highserk Empire, which is surrounded by large countries. With a new name, Walm, he was thrown into the frontlines of a war. Covered in blood and stench of death, along his comrades, he was slipping through the life-or-death situations This reincarnation manga does things fairly different then the rest. There is no screen that pops up when you say stats or inventory, you have to feel the skill as it is a part of you. I really like the main character as he has a bit of a hard time willing to kill others still up to the latest chapter. Eavan after he gets a rather strong skill. There is another reincarnation manga that does show you the fear of killing others but after the first time it is brought up it is dropped and just turns in to another war strategy manga.

autocorrect and the record

I read “Autocorrect” by Ellen Xu and listened to “The Record” by Boygenius, and I think that doing this it has uplifted both autocorrect and the record and made them better in my eyes. Both are about connections with others and wanting to be with them. 

In Autocorrect, Ellen speaks about her relationship with her father. Their relationships began to strain from the stress of her father living in another country to work, all the way in China. She talks about how sad and angry she is from her father's choice, and how all the promises he made are now null and void. She says 

“I just had my first driving lesson today and don’t you remember promising me years ago that you would be the one to teach me to drive” 

This line hit me like a hurricane hits a straw house. 

The first song on The Record “Without You Without Them” is about how the singer would not be the same person without their partner's parents but their grandparents. 

“Thank your father before you

His mother before him

Who would I be without you, without them?”

This shows what to know about another person to not only know them but their history, they thank their partner's ancestors, saying they would not be the same person without them. Later in the song they speak about the want to be known and to know someone else 

“Speak to me, speak to me, speak to me

Until your history's no mystery to me”

“I want you to hear my story and be a part of it”

Both speak of a want to understand the other to be close to them, the want to know them. With the record, it’s the want to be known and know, with Autocorrect it is the want to be with someone and share a history. Both of these texts have similar themes and that is why i think they bring out the best in each other, like players in a game of basketball when alone they can work but when together they will win.
