Fun fact: if you join a new server with “???” as its age, you have a higher likelihood of this event occurring

Just realised this song uses the motif of Gideshu March lmao

Dude, I was terrified the one time I encountered this event. I kept getting spawn camped when I was trying to start a new slot

HURRAH, HURRAH, THREE CHEERS FOR THE CAUSE

The Upload

If gunpowder's what you're looking for,
We've plenty for all to spare!
Enough for all to sell and trade,
Or be perhaps unmade -
Be careful with what you're looking for!

Don't make the mistake of crossing us -
It will be your last, for sure!
We're one for all, and all for one,
The barrel of a gun -
No soul will be ever jostling us!

( - Naktigonis, 'Our Fortress (Of Smoke And Steel)')

One For All, All For Gun

"To reassert my rule, I sought out unscrupulous men skilled in the application of force. Tight-lipped and terrifying, these mercenaries brought with them a war machine of terrible implication."

( - The Ancestor, 'Ancestor's Memoirs: The Brigand Pounder', from the video game "Darkest Dungeon")
-----

"Blood and destruction shall be so in use
And dreadful objects so familiar
That mothers shall but smile when they behold
Their infants quarter’d with the hands of war;
All pity choked with custom of fell deeds [...]."

( - William Shakespeare, "Julius Caesar", Act III, Scene I)

And Let Slip The Hounds Of War

Through the Sunlit Town

Life in a Plastic Bag (English Translation)

Gouged out, mocked, crushed and trampled in a mess
It’s a beautiful world adorned by liars
The splattered pink can't stain them, but just sticks to the floor in vain
It’s a beautiful world adorned by liars

Spewing out, everything I am
Flowing down, crumbling away
Gotta get me out before I lose my prototype
Piercing roar through my eardrums, ripping off the fake skin
An iridescent paradise
No one can stand in my way

Let me be the swarm of bugs and hack into their dreams
These lips dribbling out lies, what a sweet hors d'oeuvre
I wonder if I can eat them up by dawn

Gouged out, mocked, crushed and trampled in a mess
It’s a beautiful world adorned by liars
The splattered pink can't stain them, but just sticks to the floor in vain
It’s a beautiful world adorned by liars

You know, what spread in the minds can be quite terrifying
The nematodes of desire are swirling and crawling all over the place
I feel like I'm trapped in a bag, suffocating
I want to go outside soon, but maybe there's no such place

Gouged out, mocked, crushed and trampled in a mess
It’s a beautiful world adorned by liars
The splattered pink can't stain them, but just sticks to the floor in vain
It’s a beautiful world adorned by liars

Life in a Plastic Bag

You've had a peculiar dream that has left you with a sense of deja vu, despite knowing that you've never been in this place before. In this dream, there's a recurring character: a clown fairy without a face. Surprisingly, you don't feel scared by its presence, but rather relieved that it's not the nightmare clown you fear. However, you're left wondering about the purpose of this dream. Is there something you're supposed to see or learn? Unfortunately, you can't recall who or what was supposed to be shown to you.

Story: The Hypno Fairy is a mysterious and anomalous figure said to only exist within the realm of dreams. Some believe encountering her brings good luck, while others warn of dire consequences if one crosses her path improperly, claiming she may snatch away one's soul, leaving behind an empty vessel. However, these are merely legends passed down through folklore, with no concrete evidence of her existence, leading many to doubt her reality and attribute such encounters to hallucinations or mental illness.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding her, the Hypno Fairy remains a perplexing entity, described as having a face resembling a spiral and adorned in peculiar attire crafted from unfamiliar materials, hinting at her fairy-like nature. What sets her apart is her ability to peer into both the past and future of individuals without limitation, much like Maggie the Watching Cat, deriving amusement from observing people confront their challenges and guiding them along the correct path.

Often encountered in a pristine white space, the Hypno Fairy is invariably accompanied by a mysterious ~D O 🚪 R~ in the distance, serving as a barrier that she fiercely protects. Its contents remain shrouded in mystery, with those who venture beyond never returning, or returning altered in some inexplicable manner.

Pride

"The lightning answers. A colossal knot of violent, violet light stabs through the sky. A sigil of fire! The thunder roars. Your crew wail and shriek. [...] The sigil's meaning is branded into your mind: the erroneous assumption that there will be a tomorrow.

When you blink, you see it. When you sleep you will see it. When you die you will see it."

( - Sunless Skies, 'The Storm That Speaks' interaction)
-----

"Tree-branches cast shadows on the walls of the cave. The light here is not violet, but the cold blue of winter mornings. This is why you came from the Surface. You thought you knew, but you did not, could not know. By the time you leave this place, you will forget again."

( - Fallen London, "Woods in winter" storylet)

The Killing Wind

"Alouette, gentille alouette,
Alouette, je te plumerai!

Je te plumerai la tête,
Je te plumerai la tête.
Et la tête! Et la tête!
Alouette! Alouette!"

( - "Alouette", a French folk/children's song)
-----

"The present life of man upon earth, O King, seems to me in comparison with that time which is unknown to us like the swift flight of a sparrow through the mead-hall where you sit at supper in winter [...]. The sparrow, flying in at one door and immediately out at another, whilst he is within, is safe from the wintry tempest, but after a short space of fair weather, he immediately vanishes out of your sight, passing from winter to winter again.

So this life of man appears for a little while, but of what is to follow or what went before we know nothing at all."

( - St. Bede, "Ecclesiastical History of the English People")

A Scoundrel's Reverie

BPM: 88
Keys: A Minor
Vocals: SOLARIA

... My time in the terraria modding community hasn't been all rainbow and sunshine.
That's not to say it's all bad- I've met several wonderful people and learned many valuable life lessons along the way.
But the community's still responsible for taking away much of my innocence and idealistic personality that I used to have.
Not to mention the personal/mental issues I've gotten from it all.
The lyrics you hear in this song are based on some of my more awful experiences with the dramas of the community.
Even after Dokuro has left an important lesson regarding certain things with his leave... some people still never learn, huh?

Anyways, y'all could say this is my way of letting you all in a bit of my story. Interpret the title and the lyrics however you will.
But rest assured that I'll not be leaving the community until the infernum mod OST is done.

LYRICS:
All they wanted was to fly up through the sky
But they're damned from the moment the spark faded from their eyes
Restrained by the harsh truth that in the end they're confined
To a cage left in the dark of the night

Burned by their fate, their mind a desolate land
Having lived a nightmare few could ever understand 
And yet... clawing their way out of the cage they still shine
For in their heart remains their guiding light

ฟ้าหลังฝน (Sky After Rain)

"For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come 
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life."

( - William Shakespeare, 'Hamlet', Act III, Scene I)
-----

"My enemy is twice dead, and I still have him."

( - Iain Banks, 'The Wasp Factory')

A Darkness Beneath

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."

( - Sun Tzu, 'The Art Of War')
-----

"The better part of valor is discretion [...]."

Call Of The Deep (Deepwoken Trailer)

imagine what the world of Lumen might look like if the Ignition Union and the Summer Company put their differences aside and worked together.

i don't think anyone in all the Luminants could stand a chance. an endless procession of blades, and an unending storm of cannonades.

business would be *booming*, babeyyyyy.

---

anyway. no real context behind this track. my mind started wandering quite heavily while i was working on some other music, and i decided to try and sample a variety of my own tracks (WIPs and published stuff) to see what i could throw together, as a creative exercise. gotta get the creativity flowing somehow.

not going on the main account since this is just a sketch - aka, not a track meant to be completed.

for the curious, this contains 'The Killing Wind', 'And Let Slip The Hounds Of War', 'Games Of War', a guitar riff from the upcoming 'Shallow Breath', and two unreleased vocal pieces - 'Our Fortress (Of Smoke And Steel)', and 'The Hammer's Call'. i made the two vocal parts kinda sing in tandem with one another, or i suppose in a sort of call-and-response arrangement.

i like the juxtaposing contrast between the monolithic and many-voiced ignition union theme, ebbing and fading between its own phrases, and the more laid-back and focused summer company theme, singing in (mostly) full sentences. 'The Killing Wind' made for a nice bassy backdrop for this (+ it contains a fragment of 'The Hammer's Call' in and of itself), and the martial themes from the game just seemed to fit the piece's lowkey militaristic vibe.

i spent like... 2 hours hyperfocusing on this track. my bad all,

man. maybe i Do have ADHD.

-- TOGETHER, TALL! SHOULDER TO SHOULDER --
We're one for all, and all for one!
We serve no lord or king;

These things bring us joy in life!

Leave fire in our wake!
Smoke and steel,
(Hey!)
-- MIGHTY UNITED --
To fight and be wealthy is what we want!
