Interstellar - Ending Scene:

You can blame this piece of inspiration for the ending.  To me, the scene of Cooper approaching his aged daughter in the hospital bed was something that haunted my mind for a good portion of my teenage life. Although, not directly, I realize that this has influenced the way I write endings- bittersweet.

It was bound to happen. This is the track that introduced me to Reasoner.

I was recently studying the three unforgivable curses from Harry Potter carefully. The unholy trinity: Imperio ‘I control’, Crucio ‘I torture’, and Avadra Kedrava ‘I kill’.

Now, I’m not very well-versed in Harry Potter nor I pretend to be. What my takeaway here is the thinking of the three things that are morally dark (not just in Harry Potter, but in reality as well).

As we venture into the final section of the story, right now is the perfect opportunity to turn back the pages and reflect on another centralized pillar of inspiration.

This is going to hurt… again.

Springsteen by Eric Church:

The Nostalgia. Just imagine when he is talking about Springsteen, we are signing about the MLP fandom and the times we spent together.

I was thinking that this would be a good song to put clips of the season 9 to, but alas, video editing is way beyond my caliber, let alone writing.

No Music file, but something I found that might give the feel of what I was trying to capture. Unfortunately, I don't know how to embed and pic on fimfic, so I have just url:

I’m not sure if it worked, but the assumption is that the chapter caught you off guard. Now, it obviously had repercussions. Think of how Coco feels about such a subject. So, I found the perfect art to convey the feeling of this chapter.

Right now is a good time to post a nostalgic track before the story takes a somber turn

You’ll notice first hand that this video is fan-made. There is a good reason behind this. Let’s start with the basics though.

So… I’ve come to an interesting crossroads. Originally, my plan was to post a new chapter of Transparent Living (Thus beginning Section 6) on October 30^th. The plan was to estimate the amount of time I would need to have to push me to achieve a due date. Now, here I am, two weeks ahead of schedule (knowing me, just by typing it out, I just jinxed it).

It seems that everything will loop back to Chapters 1 through 5. It’s a natural, though, since the core of the story lies at the foundational pieces set in place at the beginning. (That, and this will be the sneak peek at what is happening in Ch 46-ish (still working out the details)

Two Studio Ghibli tracks are coming.

I’m Gonna Fly by Sydney Forest:

The vibe of this song should stick out from the rest. It has a nostalgic, longing feel, yet isn’t sad and dreary. It leaves the listener with the stars in their eyes, yet content with where they are currently at.

The prodigal.

Long ago, I had a similar concept for a story named “Tarnished Soul” which has been ultimately dismantled and put back together in what we all know and love as Transparent Living. I might revisit it, but let’s focus on the task at hand- this was on the inspiration playlist.

Welp, a week late. Still, I'm learning how to adhere to a schedule. Please bear with me.

…This one is going to be tough to introduce. Let’s just say my favorite movie is The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, which had a huge influence on me before creating Transparent Living.

Hey, sorry this is an hour late. Forgot to set my reminder alarm.

Ultimately, this song is a symbol for my commitment to finish the story. Even if I’m having a rough time, nothing will stop me from completing it.

Yet another PMV coming at you. No surprise that this somehow lands here. It has no direct correlation to the story, so I put it on the backburner. The most direct that I can put it though is the part where Dazzle is visiting Silver Spoon in the dream world (Ch 17)

Now, back to Scheduled Angst. Rooting through the last few bits of meme-age from the age of post-hype, I came across this gem.

Cut My Hair (Originally by Cavetown, but I like the cover done by Cavetown & Mounika):

Since I want to stick to where the inspiration came from, I’m going to the point of origin, a short animation from Wacky-Skiff:
