クラゲの歌. The Jellyfish Song. 2 Avatars!

A quick 2 take cover from yesterday late night without much bells and whistles. I do like how this came out so I’ll drop it in my ever expanding “Things I intend to polish and publish when I have time later” content pile Not long ago I upgraded my recording booth to have a shield for dampening excess reverb / noise and a proper stand, so it made my voice 10x easier to mix. Maybe I’ll have an excuse to record more often.

Disguise.

(tries lineart for the first time in years again**)

Omg nevermore post this is crazy

Anyway I want to share a song from my prospero playlist, beneath the mask by lyn (from the persona 5 ost) this song has lyrics directly referencing the masque of the red death by edgar allan poe which if you didn’t know is the story prospero comes from :D

Heres the lyrics that directly reference the story

In the masque of the red death the kingdom the prince prospero oversees it facing a plague and the rich avoid it by hiding away in their homes which the poor cannot afford prospero grows bored waiting for the plague to pass so he hosts a masquerade (“at poe’s masquerade”) at the masquerade a figure appears wearing all red and a mask of a corpse prospero is offended by what he assumes is a cruel joke so he unmasks the offender (“please don’t take off my mask”) only to find there is nothing underneath (“I have no face to show”) the figure was a manifestation of the red death itself and everyone in the masquerade had just been infected

I was playing persona 5 sitting in cafe Leblanc and listening to this song when I was like “poe’s masquerade??” “Masque of the red death???” “PROSPERO!??!?!” Just wanted to share ^-^

(oh also this is an oversimplification of the masque of the red death I skipped a lot of the details and didn’t get into the themes at all please go read it yourself or find a more detailed summary its so good)
