Hope Rides Alone

Runaway – Three Doors Down

Do you ever think about running away?
'Cause I was thinkin' about leavin' today
We'll follow forever where our hearts wanna go
Maybe we'll live somewhere where nobody knows our names
Then things might change for the good

I wanna be somewhere so far away
To lie under the night at the end of another good day
I can't tell you how long we'll be gone
But as long as we're together then forever's never too long

Do you ever think about not comin' back?
Hoppin' on a train and we'll burn up the tracks
We'll jump off somewhere that we don't know how to say
Maybe hitch a ride from someone who can tell us the way
To where these things might change for the good

(I don’t know what happened, but I can’t imagine that Linksano didn’t want to bring his brother, and maybe Spoonette, along with him when he fled his dimension.)



Somewhere They Can’t Find Me – Simon and Garfunkel

But I've got to creep down the alleyway
Fly down the highway
Before they come to catch me I'll be gone
Somewhere they can't find me

(“When I saw him coming near my universe, I fled.”)



The Long Walk Alone (Heisenberg’s Theme) – Dave Porter

~instrumental~

(Traveling space alone can be very scary, especially with threats of Lord Vyce and the Entity on his heels.)



Lost Coastlines – Okkervil River

Packed and all eyes turned in
No one to see on the quay, no one waving for me
Just the shoreline receding
Ticket in my hand, I'm thinking, “wish I didn't hand it in”
'Cause who said sailing is fine?
Leaving behind all the faces that I might
Replace if I tried on that long ride
Looking deep inside but I don't want to look so deep inside yet

And see how that light you love now just won't shine
There might just be another star that's high and far in some other sky

We sail out on orders from him but we find
The maps he sent to us don't mention lost coastlines
Where nothing we've actually seen has been mapped or outlined
And we don't recognize the names upon these signs

(The beginning of Linksano’s travels.)



Runaway: A Road Adventure, Main Theme – David Garcia Morales

Runaway and do it on your own
Runaway while you can
Try to show everything you know

(This was on a fanmix a while ago as a Linksano song, and it still fits.)



Space Mountain: Ghost Galaxy – Disney

~instrumental~

(Did I mention how scary and lonely it is in space, fleeing the Entity and Lord Vyce?)



If I Had A Heart – Yourai (Fever Ray Cover)

After the night when I wake up
I'll see what tomorrow brings

If I had a voice I would sing

Crushed and filled with all I found
Underneath and inside
Just to come around

(Haunting cover that I think fits with Linksano’s traveling days, through alien worlds, alone, seeking safety.)



All You Ever Do Is Walk Away – The Magnetic Fields

Sad as a painted clown, a beautiful boy in an ugly town

But all you ever do is walk away and I think if you tried
You could find a little time
For the life I can see in your eyes, don't go. Don't go.

Sometimes you just explode and no one alive can break your code
You have a language of your own, an unconnected road
The people you called your friends, the places you won't go again
The decades lost in finding them, you'll have to let them go.

But all you ever do is walk away

(Linksano finds a place to stay at last, and stop running.)

Moarte! *SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

I tried staying up waiting for the update, couldn't, had to sleep.

First thing I did this morning though, was watch the first episode. Moarte has improved lighting! YAAAAAAY! I'm so happy. I'm so happy for new Longbox of the Damned episodes.

I don't know WHY I love Moarte and Longbox of the Damned so much, I just do. Maybe it's because he's so different from the usual At4W fare, he's so fresh and exciting, off doing his own little thing and being over the top and cackling over scary stuff? He's snarky and funny in a very different way from Linkara. Maybe it's because he coincides with my favorite time of year and my favorite holiday?
I dunno. Maybe he just appeared at the right point in my life and I needed him and latched onto this show. Whatever the case, every day of this month will have a surefire way to cheer me up. : D



Comments on the latest At4W episode:

( spoilers! )

Wow. I just ... wow.

300 episodes. I've been watching this show for almost six years. (Six years now, right?) I've grown up a bit with this series, it's become a part of my weekly routine (though I haven't kept up as much as I should, there was a period in there where I fell REALLY far behind, and spent two weeks marathoning to catch up.) But ... wow. Seeing clips of old episodes brings me back to when I was watching these on my old laptop in high school.

Loved the speech. Very powerful. That's gonna be a highlight of the show for a long time, that's one of those moments that sticks with you.

So, Margaret goes on tumblr? Awwwwww! Lovely flower crown too! Her fight with her dark universe counterpart was a great little moment.

IRON LIZ! IRON LIZ! IRON LIZ!
So nice to see her again, if only for a moment, to establish that she's off doing her own thing, in real life and in-universe.

The Ancient Egypt gag hasn't been seen in a while, I HOWLED with laughed at that bit, and then had to explain to my boyfriend what that was all about. (Wow, I'm now on my second boyfriend. When I started watching At4W I'd never had a relationship, and now I'm in my second one.)

I really dug all the transformations. Great camerawork there. I liked that it wasn't some big flashy showdown, it was just enough to be special but not too much of an effects blowout. More emphasis on all his new costumes and weapons, and his character development. A celebration, not a plot climax. I enjoyed that immensely. Good choice.

Glad that the show is going strong and getting better and better, evolving but staying true to its original format. Expanding, I guess I should say.

Here's to 300 more!
