Crazy isn't it.

Actually, before the series launched I wasn't that much interested in Tangled. But since I started watching it, and I believe I did, somewhere during one of their hiatsuses, I don't fully remember, but I instantly loved it, and soon after, thanks to that, I found a whole new friendgroup and I got involved in the fandom, something I've never really eperienced before to this extent, so therefor, Tangled the series holds a very special place in my heart, and I'm still holding in to it.

Anyway, enough of my ramblings. So to celebrate that, todays item is Rapunzels travelling journal. I've kept it just as it is. Never drawn or written in it, which makes me feel a liiittle guilty because, that is literally what it is for.

When opening it up the inner fold has drawings looks like Rapunzels artstyle, and same at the end of the folding.

The quote 'There is more in you' is taken from the series too, except in the series it is written in French; 'Plus est en vous'. I'm kinda sad they didn't keep it French, because it is also the titel.of the Final episode.

Turning to the first page, we are met with an image of Rapunzel and Eugene, in the Series style.

The edges has goldfoil, in the lower corner of every other page is Rapunzel, and on the opposite higher corner is a blue bird.

I'm not sure if the pencil came with this journal or not but I'm including it anyway. Amd of course, we have a cute Pascal to mark our pages with.

Animal Mother - What We Are

I'm not an archivist by any stretch, and generally, I just sort of hope that other people are saving media in case it disappears in the future, but somehow I've become the steward of a bunch of local bands' music, at least as far as I can see. I sat down one day and uploaded all of the local music I had to YouTube, and with the death of MySpace Music and sites like PureVolume or even hxcmp3, in a way I've preserved it for the handful of people who still have any interest in it. This is one of those songs.

I'm not sure this is a great mid-2000s hardcore song, but I do know that it was one of my mid-2000s hardcore songs, and that's more important, because I was not really a hardcore kid. The breakdowns, the sing alongs, I liked it, but I was into Death and Obituary for the riffs and the groove, so for this to be one of MY songs speaks to how much it was a part of me at that time.

Animal Mother was a band out of Oil City, PA and I only saw them once, but they played this song, and I thought it ruled, and then we talked about Dystopia after the show, and I thought that ruled, so as a 13 or 14-year-old, that was all I needed. On top of that, just having that "WE ARE THE SWINE" opening call was just too cool.
