I can't believe it took this long for this to occur to me, but this episode has me thinking very hard about the fact that our main cast is a human(?) who's so ostracized from humankind that no one even noticed when she went missing, an elf who's so ostracized from elvenkind that his former coworkers are literally trying to orchestrate his death, a poltergeist who very well may be trying so hard to drive Elizabeth insane because they'll be ostracized from poltergeistkind if they fail...

我们的天空 by 西瓜

This album is CRIMINALLY short with only three tracks, the last of which is my favourite. Really good screamo vocals in this one, and some electronic elements that compliment the instruments super well.

军臣 by 军臣

Better described as sludge metal, there’s a great combination of both scream and normal vocals, with some absolutely banging drumming and electric guitars. Like the last one, this is also a mini album, but luckily not as short.

Hypocrisy (Original title: 眼镜蛇 or Yanjingshe) by Cobra

Okay I lied, not all of these are hardcore metal. This is a rock band from the 1990s that combines certain traditional Chinese elements to a more 80s sounding soft rock/city pop, but I’ve been a fan of this album for years so I’ll never pass up an opportunity to recommend it. Cobra was also a pioneering girl band in the Chinese rock scene (I’m pretty sure they’re considered the first) so like… go listen to them!

i was incredibly dysphoric about my round face and softer features until i started looking at the faces of hispanic men and realized that those features weren’t feminine at all, they were ethnic features white supremacy had conditioned me to see as less masculine
