#immaterial

While its not my jam ive been trying to learn more the ritual magician perspectives

For context, immaterial is an adjective that describes something that is unimportant or irrelevant under the circumstances. But in this case, it's spiritual rather than physical. I found this term through a song called "Immaterial" from Scottish music producer and songwriter SOPHIE. The song itself is about exploring the idea of identity existing beyond physical form, celebrating the freedom of defining oneself internally rather than externally. I thought it was a good song to describe Mineru's character (since she is the "Sage of Spirit" after all). When listening to SOPHIE's music, I couldn't help but find similarities between Mineru and SOPHIE such as the both of them having tall, slender appearances, a passion for technology, and being mentor figures for others. Faceshopping is also a good song to describe Mineru's character, given the Spirit Temple is all about the creation of a new physical form for Mineru to inhabit. In addition, the singles that became the Product compilation tape are all simple, plasticine 3D renders, but the music inside is unprecedently textured, full of character and personality, much like how a zonai construct is a generic factory model, which you would not expect someone as strong as the Sage of Spirit to be inside. I have links down below to listen to the songs and to enter SOPHIE's YouTube and Spotify pages. I also have a link to the Spotify playlist I made based on Mineru.

In the Case of the Screaming Woman, Hamilton Burger puts Della Street on the stand to testify.

Poor Hamilton Burger. Every question that he tries to ask Della is met with an objection from Perry Mason. Perry uses the phrase irrelevant, incompetent, and immaterial so many times that Hamilton is beside himself. It's hilarious to watch. If you made a drinking game where you had to take a drink every time Perry used that phrase, you wouldn't make it through this episode 🤣🤣

"After a childhood spent constantly moving from place to place, Alex Velasco wants nothing more than to settle into her new apartment, make some new friends, and most importantly, keep her job. But her life is turned upside down and back to front when she's accidentally pulled into an surreal Escher-esque reality where things that are lost and forgotten find a home."
