IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)

On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!

Do you love transgenders?

Do you love communism?

Do you love queer romance?

Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?

Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?

Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?

All of the answers should be: YES I DO ~~or else I WILL BAN YOU~~

Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY

The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists pigmask-off , Zionists hamas-base (they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The 'Anarchists' (social chauvanists) lenin-dont-laugh in Bosporus, and the monarchs gui-trans of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.

On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union soviet-chad is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain left-unity-4 )that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human bridget-disco , Shimmi kbity-how (Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran transshork-happy (a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.

First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist three-heads-thinking leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home chad-stalin , but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light. specter

As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack...

And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.

Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands

All are Communists steban

All serve the Union USSR

All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism comrade-stoic

but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt

Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?

Can they kiss? (oh my god please kiss ISTG THERE IS SO MUCH SHIPPING AHHHH ITS GLORIOUS)

FIND OUT HERE: https://unjustdepths.com/

please do or else I will pout incessantly

just try it pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase i need to talk to someone about it after Cromalin went AFK

(I miss her, she was a real one)

MUSIC MONDAY MOTHERFUCKERS

i would like to know what you're listening to please :^)

[โ€“] rainn@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Where should I start if I want to listen to music? I have basically never listened to music outside as using it as noise cancelling for outside noises. I have never really been able to focus on the lyrics, for me it's just predictable sounds I can easily ignore lol; I just have never had a relationship with music.

[โ€“] Luna@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

for me it's just predictable sounds

It sounds like you need prog!

ideas for music enjoymentMaybe get yourself into a nice comfy space with good headphones, and maybe something to do with your hands that can be done rhythmically (i use knitting), then just put on some music, any music, and try to sit within it as much as possible? Collecting recs from friends and building a playlist out of them that you can skip through can be helpful for discovering new music ^^

spoiler music recs if you want them

  • Farmers Market: what if jazz fusion but its actually balkan folk music? Check out the album Surfin USSR, and specifically the songs Surfin USSR pt1, Surfin USSR pt2, and Red Square Dance

  • Laurie Anderson: kind of an 80s&90s experimental pop? The album Bright Red is wonderful, and imo should be listened to in order ^^

  • Liniker e os Caramelows: beautiful beautiful portuguese group, (i think) @bubbalu@hexbear.net shared them with me, the frontwoman has an incredible voice. The song Intimidade had me crying despite not speaking portuguese.

  • BGKO: a group playing roma music, klezmer music, and just really fun danceable folk. They have a wonderful live show at the apolo in 2019, but the best songs in that show imo are djelem djelem, lule lule, and krivo sadovsko horo (timestamped in the description)

If I do something with my hands I tend to overtly focus on that and eventhally zone out of my surroundings esp music, it pretty much is easier to ignore than actual surroundings, I am planning to soon get proper noise cancelling headphones so that I'll try that then

Ooh the recommendations sound awesome, I'll check them out when I have the time thankyou

For a plethora of reasons, I don't have the chart I made this week, so it's in text:

the aforementioned textSpiritbox (full discography)

TesseracT (One, Polaris, Sonder)

Periphery (2, Juggernaut, 3)

Monuments (The Amanuensis, Phronesis, In Stasis)

Misc (Evanescence: Fallen, Fellsilent: The Hidden Words, Destiny Potato: Lun, Cult of Luna: Mariner)

I wonder if I should make some playlists instead of just listening to albums straight through...

[โ€“] Eco@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

nice! i really need to get round to listening to spiritbox

speaking of prog metal i saw animals as leaders live fairly recently, never thought much of their albums but they put on a good show
