📜✨ Baroness’ Bulletin #23: New Year’s Resonance ✨📜

Your ever-energetic bass baroness is here to kick off this bulletin with a burst of fireworks that could rival any New Year’s Eve celebration. As we strut into January wearing our most glittering boots of determination, it’s time to tune up and dive into what’s been happening since we last shared tales around the campfire—or should I say stage lights?

It might seem like ages since our guitars gently wept in October (and those illustrations were nothing short of legendary), but as your devoted herald of harmony and happenings, I’ve got some news that’ll be music to your ears—even if you’re already dancing to its rhythm.

Nora’s Take on Today

Runescape Revelations:

Let me serenade you with echoes from Gielinor—a world where adventure never sleeps (much like us during an inspired jam session). We may have turned the calendar page over more than once since our last bulletin dropped its beat, but fret not; whether these updates are fresh off the press or old school classics by now, they’re still worth riffing over.

First things first—happy belated new year! 🎉 Though January has dawned bright upon us for a little while now (with enough days past to compose an EP), there’s no expiration date on good vibes or well-wishes. Whether these game changes are hitting your feed for the first time or simply replaying like that one track we can’t get out of our heads—I’m here to remix them with flair just for you.

So strap in as I lay down this symphony of updates—the highs, lows, crescendos—all wrapped up in a melody made uniquely ours. It’s going to be one heck of an encore performance filled with clan triumphs, pop culture pearls plucked straight from their oysters—and naturally—a take on today’s world stage that only yours truly can deliver.

 

🎶✨ The Rocking Rundown: Irons & Inks ✨🎶

Group Ironman dropped onto our stage at October’s curtain call—like an electrifying solo that demands an encore! It may have cast a hush over the clan for a brief interlude, but fear not; these quiet moments are merely breathers in our epic concert of life. Perhaps one day we’ll band together for a side account symphony—a group event where we can all jam as iron maestros.

Turning pages to November notes, “The Fall of Hallovale” by Robbie MacNiven hit us with its literary licks while “Untold Tales of Gielinor” illustrated by Sid Katina and Daniel Baylis added visual virtuosity to Ryan O’Sullivan’s narrative beats. A review? Oh you bet—we’ll dive into those depths soon enough!

As November crescendoed into double xp bliss and Runecrafting soared up to level 110 (talk about scaling new heights!), December waltzed in with twinkling lights adorning its frosty cloak. The Christmas Village popped up once more from December 2nd through January 2nd—our own winter wonderland complete with Django’s jingles, Pixie dust-ups, and fashion statements louder than any guitar amp! Don’t worry if you got your fill of holiday loot; woodcutting and fletching joined the high-level party just three days post-launch.

 

Mid-December teased us with whispers of desert quests—an oasis for those who prefer sand over snowflakes—and it wasn’t just dunes heating things up…

On another note (pun intended), did anyone else catch sight of that Star Sprite makeover? From teletubby nostalgia to… well, something straight outta Meat Canyon meets ‘Mac and Me’. But hey—at least mining got more marvelous alongside this sprite’s quirky new look!

 

And lastly for RS3 rockstars—you can snag some anniversary balloons around lodestones every Saturday this month because nothing says ‘party’ quite like inflatable décor!

Old School may have taken a backseat lately as we’ve been headbanging elsewhere—but fret not! We’re tuning up for an OSRS comeback tour filled with fresh allies while keeping our clan chords strong in RS3.

🎉✨ Clan Chronicles ✨🎉: 

Let’s kick off with some electrifying Clan News! Amidst the seasonal cheer of 2024’s Christmas event, I’ve honed my skills to masterfully wield a dragon dagger—anticipation thrums in the air for the Naked Dagger Tournament. And fret not about missing big holiday events or double xp; our clan calendar is brimming with excitement!

 

I’m bursting with pride over donning a scarf and outfit dyed in our noble clan colors—a true Lumwood fashion statement! Teaming up with World 8 Clan for Pest Control was like hitting every note perfectly during an epic jam session—and let’s not forget those Castle Wars and Fight Pits Events where we rocked Gielinor like legends!

 

And can we have a round of applause for Count Gaius? His culinary conquests have now been crowned by acquiring that adorable cooking skill goblin pet. Meanwhile, HTD12 has joined our ranks as a member—welcome to this grand adventure through citadels and beyond!

🎉✨Some Distant Memory Melodies✨🎉:

Now onto Some Distant Memory News—the rhythm of progress beats strong within us! Though apologies are due for keeping you on tenterhooks regarding our music video, rest assured it’s because we’re crafting each frame into perfection. The Reflections album narratives are written in full—with AMW amplifying Just A Story, Sunrise Syndrome, Necessary Being, and Heaven’s Gate across Internet Radio waves.

Our Spotify return will be nothing short of spectacular—an encore demanding attention far and wide.

We are grateful for the oppurtunities to participate in various film festivals and extremely honored for the rewards we have received that you will find on our websites and within the blog post for the music video.

Divination’s Destiny:

Chapter 17 part 3 beckons within these pages—or leapfrog across time via dedicated linktree hosting past whispers and future echoes alike.

linktr.ee/NORSLore

In the shadowy realm of Dean Sauveur’s lair—a place where whispers could dance on dusty rays of light—Nora and Jasper stand at the precipice of revelation. The figure before them is draped in power; her attire sings with echoes of 1982 glamor—an office siren amidst seas of academia.

“Robbie Sauveur,” she purrs with an authority that belies her maternal concern—the aftermath of impassioned student discourse still clouding her aura like mist upon morning hillsides.

Yet as Jasper reaches into his vestment to unveil their quest’s parchment prize, chaos erupts! A gunshot shatters serenity as leaden harbingers seek to claim dominion over peace. “Take cover!” cries Robbie, guardian instincts flaring beneath fluorescent siege.

But lo! From shadows emerges a valiant youth armed with lightsaber glow and steely resolve—a modern knight whose swift feet carry him through peril’s jaws!

Those who dare gaze upon this balletic fray witness a spectacle for ages: saber parries bullet in symphonic defiance while rubber beasts are deftly disarmed by the lad’s own pistol—no escape from justice’s reach!

Product Review:

For those who resonate with sonic novelties—you’ll adore our review of 5Below’s record player style CD-player. Also featuring cameos from end-of-year fast food collectibles (a nod to nostalgia) alongside Wendy’s Frosty key tag promotion—sweet treats extending well into 2025.

🎶💿 Retro-Modern Reverie: 5Below Record Player Style CD Player Review 💿🎶

Imagine stepping into a time machine with Jasper—a portal swirling with neon hues and electric beats. This 5Below CD player is like an echo from his pre-musician era—an upright beacon reminiscent of Emerson's boombox where compact discs spun tales just as tape reels once did.

Picture it nestled beside our storage ottoman—the perfect companion for unwinding after adventures in the world beyond. Though its lack of auxiliary output might seem a missed duet opportunity with your studio stereo—it still sings its own solo by embracing modernity; transforming into a Bluetooth speaker serenading us from iPad plugged into projector while stars flicker above us.

Its built-in radio tuner whispers secrets from airwaves unknown—a soundtrack for shoes slipping off and daydreams unpacked. It’s not just technology; it’s an experience—a retro ritual reimagined.

🍔 Fast Food Fables & Frosty Phantasms 🍔

As we waltzed through Wendy's wonderland during their enchanting SpongeBob sticker soiree paired delightfully with pineapple frosties, our quest led us to unearth Frosty Frights amid disgruntled workers in their last days (scalpers or simply mischievous sprites?), securing bone-chilling glow-in-the-dark treasures along with Coolie Ghoulie companions—emblems of fortitude in plastic form --trinkets that are more than mere collectibles—talismans symbolizing strength within body and soul; reminders that even amidst resistance, persistence yields rewards sweet as caramel frosties earned through ventures beneath open skies! And though their cardboard critter follow-ups paled next to those whimsical wonders—the key tag with a similar face to the Frosty Frights is magic granting junior frosty delights whilst weaving threads of charity into each indulgence until February 16th. We also triumphed in capturing Peach in her rarest pink gold kart at McDonald’s  (though there wasn’t much to eat that is gluten free) in the meantime during a competitively highly collectible promotion.

Now onto today's cultural cornucopia:

🎶 Song of the Day: “Climatic Nouveaux” by Ceramic Hello– It’s a sonic tapestry that zaps you straight into an electric dream. Unexpected, full of twists and pulsing with raw energy. The synths are a wild caress, the beats—a heartbeat racing in anticipation.

📀 Album of the Day: “Rio” by Duran Duran – This masterpiece is like us; stylish, artful, and utterly captivating with every beat.

🎬 Movie of the Day: “Shogun” (1980)– an epic saga where East meets West in a clash of cultures that’s as thrilling as our own fusion of worlds.

📘 Book of the Day: “Visions - 19 Short Stories by Outstanding Writers for Young Adults” – Tales resonating with youthful spirit

✨ On This Day in ‘80s Lore (January 9th): The world was graced with Pat Benatar’s hit single “Love Is a Battlefield.” Like warriors on a rhythmic journey, we march to its defiant drumbeat!

Nora’s Take on Today:

And what about my take on today’s global stage? Picture this—a mural where dark hues blend into vibrant colors symbolizing hope emerging from adversity. We’re part of an intricate tapestry woven from threads both somber and bright. Our mission? To cast light wherever shadows fall—to be relentless sources of joyous rebellion against despair! Together we’ll dance atop mountains high above worldly woes because life is too short not to celebrate each moment given to us.

With love notes & power chords,

Nora Lumwood 🎸💖

Jasper's grandfather stood as one of the most significant pillars in his life for the past 16 years, nurturing his video career by appearing in early videos and inspiring him to explore the vibrant world of music creation through introducing him to karaoke and helping him thrift keyboards. Though he wasn’t always a guiding light or an unwavering voice of positivity, he brought forth wisdom steeped in experience—a true testament to understanding legacy.

While reliability may not have been his strongest suit, Pops was often the first person Jasper turned to—not out of mere necessity but due to one endearing quality that set him apart: an open mind and an unshakeable faith in Jasper that often surpassed anyone else in immediate physical proximity. He had a unique way with young people (even if sometimes it veered into amusingly distorted territory), animals, and individuals with disabilities alike.

Throughout his life, Pops forged powerful alliances across diverse communities—his loyal friendships blossoming despite personal challenges stemming from divorce or distance from family. His adventurous spirit led him down wild paths that sometimes resulted in misadventures; yet these escapades only added layers to his character.

Another shining trait was undoubtedly Pops' loyalty—to family and friends alike—though at times this loyalty manifested through choices that might have caused more harm than good. It posed existential questions about love versus truth—a conundrum we all ponder at some point.

As for Jasper, there is deep sorrow surrounding Pops’ passing; he reflects on whether there could have been anything more he could’ve done during those last moments together. The memory lingers vividly— when with medical help he bought just enough seconds for Pops to whisper “What would I do without you?” as paramedics wheeled him away on a stretcher for the final time.

After what felt like an eternity spent recovering from gallstones since December—and having undergone procedures both daunting yet necessary—they finally shared dinner at Tropical Acres in March (thanks to Pops’ cousin Diane) just a week before fate took its turn again. They cherished laughter-filled meals alongside their dear friends Dianna and Winston before they embarked on their cruise adventure—all memories now etched forever within Jasper’s heart.

But shortly thereafter came whispers of illness… When Pops suspected pneumonia creeping upon him like unwelcome shadows, they rushed off together seeking help from his primary care doctor—hoping for relief amidst uncertainty. While tests indicated promising results initially—blood pressure stable and oxygen levels adequate—the unfortunate twist arrived when prescribed medications piled up alongside existing ones leading towards troubling breathing complications instead…

On Sunday, March 9th, as Jasper was in the midst of his shaving routine—a ritual he approached with utmost seriousness—Pops called out to him from beyond the bathroom door. It was time for a little walker action! But oh dear, when Jasper stepped outside, he witnessed a scene that turned his world upside down. There was Pops stumbling chin-first into his trusty walker.

In an instant filled with urgency and concern, Jasper rushed over to help him regain his footin but his body resisted like a stubborn old oak tree against the wind. As panic set in and color drained from Pops’ face turning it an alarming shade of purple, he collapsed onto the floor.

With all his strength pooled together, Jasper tried to lift Pops back up but soon realized there were limits even to his efforts. In that moment of desperation—he dialed 911 to be guided him on how to administer CPR until help arrived; hope flickered within as they brought life back into Pops’ heart enough for gentle whispers of “Justin” to escape those lips.

Filled with optimism at last—and after finishing dressing himself with newfound determination—Jasper emerged only to find paramedics placing Pops on a stretcher adorned with an oxygen mask where their final exchange took place: “Justin… What would I do without you?” Those words hung heavy yet hopeful between them—the promise that recovery awaited just around the corner!

Eagerly preparing for what he believed would be brief hospital visits before Pops’ return home—it crushed Jasper’s spirit when news came crashing down upon him mere hours later: critical condition… coma…

Thanks to kind neighbors who lent support during these trying times, Jasper was delivered beside Pops' bedside—even if he lay suspended between worlds. Each touch ignited promising sparks more alive than anything else surrounding them but sadly...the color left those hands forevermore.

In waves of sorrowful disbelief washed over him the tears flowed freely at being robbed so soon from having beloved family near.

Still reeling from the whirlwind of emotions surrounding Pops’ sudden departure, it felt as if time had taken a breath—held tight in disbelief. With life pressing on (and major projects temporarily paused), Jasper had no choice but to donate plasma—to keep the kitchen stocked with food.

But just when things couldn’t seem more challenging enough apart from finances, VIP donor status and line-cutting benefits were a thing of the past too.

By evening’s embrace, Jasper returned home weary yet comforted by his beloved feline companion Dotty—the purrfect little ball of fluff who shared in his sadness over losing her “dad.” Oh how she snuggled closer than ever before, reminding him that love still thrived amidst sorrow.

Yet fate had other plans… Days later came news that Dotty would be whisked away for shots preparing her for an overnight stay with Jasper’s cousin. But lo and behold—a twist awaited him: Eddy III’s wife found a wealthy woman eager to adopt her! The last moment spent cuddling during their Thursday night movie screening was bittersweet; ‘Take Me Home Tonight’ played softly as they shared Chic-fil-A indulgence together one final time.

Determined not to let heartbreak dim his spirit, he made adjustments to his bike basket and plugged the vehicle in—for an epic farewell tour around Delray Beach! Though aiming toward Military Trail seemed adventurous enough, downtown seemed more reasonable by the time of arrival in the afternoon.

Upon disembarking from the train at downtown beachside bliss—Jasper spotted teenagers gathered at the pavilion across from where once stood the Burger Fi now replaced by fancy dining. With muted excitement bubbling within him—Jasper passed them blank CDs adorned with inspired slick cover designs embodying NORS media history before venturing onward towards lunch delights at The Office up the avenue.

More CDs scattered along cafes became tokens left behind—while snapping the final photos around the old house and catching a glimpse of a high school sporting event happening. Finally returning homeward bound via train—with thirst needing quenching—Jasper made a pit stop at Publix seeking refreshment—a big bottle of Mountain Dew Baja Blast.

Every day to follow was part of a quest filled with progress, even if it felt like a dead end at times. Packing up memories, discarding what no longer served him, making those final visits to cherished haunts and family friends—each task completed brought a sense of bittersweet accomplishment but often also more disappointment.

Antique stores? Not interested! Friends who promised to swing by were nowhere to be found for their last goodbyes and parting gifts (Sorry KC). Getting arguably ripped off or having items returned temporarily felt like running through an obstacle course designed by goblins. And let’s not forget the constant worry about whether his trusty bike could join him on this new adventure to Lagrange.

But then came relief in the form of wonderful friends—Dianna, Winston, Jennifer. They rallied around Jasper during those tough days when solitude threatened to steal away very moderate joy. Lunch dates turned into laughter-filled moments and their grand send-off dinner was a feast worthy of royalty!

With the three of them offering comfort for his loss and whisking Jasper away on more adventures and helping with errands and one week before Dad's arrival Dianna going above and beyond helping clean house, he was glad to have them as friends and proud to have given a portion of vinyl records refuge with them (as he still is in retrospect given that most had to be thrown away). 

Yet these delightful gatherings were merely calm before another storm brewing ahead… Determined to have his beloved bike alongside him (the most reliable transportation since walking), Jasper made one last monthly pilgrimage to First Watch—a breakfast haven—and then rode over to Big Wheel USA (somewhat sadly instead of Hollywood Bicycle Shop who made the bike what it is) armed with gathered funds (including a donation towards the bike from his sister)

The plan? Disassemble it overnight so it could hitch a ride via the UPS store across the plaza. After dropping the bike off he swung by the UPS store where he had his latest award printed out and mentioning the bike seemed to produce a promising projection of expense.

At the Goodwill next door he snagged a frame for his award (which fate would later break during travels), and hopped into a friendly Uber ride from a snowbird.

Just as he was getting cozy with each bite of his gluten-free pizza dinner, the bike store called Jasper up. “Hurry over!” they said; his precious bike had been disassembled and packed away snugly in its box.

Glancing at the time online, Jasper realized UPS was set to close at 6:30 PM. Could it be? A chance to get this shipping done tonight? With excitement bubbling inside him on arrival at the bike shop, he asked if he could borrow their flatbed truck to take the package to the mail store.

When he arrived at UPS, they revealed their true closing time—earlier than advertised—and delivered shocking news about shipping costs beyond affordability. Jasper’s heart sank deep. Waving goodbye to the Grifols plasma center in the same plaza one last time felt bittersweet as tears welled up just like when Pops left us or when he saw Dotty last in her carrier.

With determination fueled by love and memories swirling around him, Jasper wheeled that package back toward the bike store (his trusty steed now resting) and waited as a handful of cars passed him up until he finally booked a bigger ride home. He picked that heavy box up and laid it down in the back of the van.

Devastation washed over him knowing that places filled with fondness were slipping away—the trails leading him back to Sheridan Plaza closed off like hidden paths lost in fog. Yet amidst this whirlwind of packing chaos and breaking down furniture Jasper found solace during breaks reminiscing about those cherished moments that resembled a life with moderate security and gradual progress guaranteed.

A final visit to Wendy's became an homage—a nostalgic nod to Nors Updates 261 wrapped in lettuce instead of buns to be gluten-free. A DC themed Kids’ Meal reminded him of simpler times when life began anew in Dania Beach.

As computer gear and NORS-related treasures awaited their turn—our clan needed support too. Celebrating Dave of FL’s birthday alongside clan mates allies brought joy amid uncertainty—it truly lit up those (hopefully few) dim days ahead.

What would become of Jasper’s beloved bike post-campaign? Thoughts raced through his mind following enchanting Dice & Cards affirmations with Nora's stunning portrait painted on Sunday. With everything broken down yet safely stowed away at home—he knew how inconvenient and maybe inconsiderate entrusting it all to D.J. would be at that point...

Thank goodness for his amazing aunts who rallied behind his Dad’s cooperation!

 

When Jasper’s Dad arrived, things took an unexpected turn—not quite the grand reunion he had envisioned. His eagerness to toss away his beloved shirts (including Depeche Mode and New Order shirts appearing in the music video) stung more than a wayward bee at a picnic.

Maybe this was just one of those hard lessons life throws our way; saving what truly matters is key—even if it means letting go sometimes. But fear not—Jasper has hopes for reclaiming those cherished garments someday! Thankfully though, nothing essential related to NORS or his musical treasures met such an untimely fate.

After enduring more packing (made better thanks to his Dad’s loading skills) and breaking down, peculiar family dinners—a ‘Celebration of Life’ filled with faces both familiar and foggy—some sweet indulgences like ice cream trips to Jaxon’s and Dairy Belle, and karaoke night with Thais; they were finally setting off on the road toward Lagrange with mixed feelings: sadness mingled with awkwardness yet sprinkled generously with hope. Jasper got hit by dizziness and threw up thanks to unfamiliar air swirling around them AND the rented Kia’s engine took an impromptu swim after splashing into puddles. Amidst these little hiccups—They never went hungry with Five Guys thanks to his Dad's generosity.

Once they reached Lagrange, Jasper’s Dad helped him move his things into his new room while chatting briefly with his Mom. His lovely mother has been showing him around town and he has been doing what he can to push forward creatively and prepare to return to the clan and major projects.

So many adventures await us; we'll paint this place vibrant together.

 

Diango’s Sacred Mounts brought us to (even if just for giggles) Lumbridge Crater Memorial Park—a hilarious community event featuring Fabio (not the model but that charming 1920s bodybuilder from the annual Beach event!) leading us through some side-splitting rocking horse positions. Who knew agility could be so entertaining?

The highly anticipated ‘Pharaoh’s Folly,’ second to last in the dessert series quest line, was released as well as Duck Quest—an adventure with a new location accessible even to free-to-play heroes. Though limited internet kept us from fully enjoying Blooming Burrows' boating escapades (our first RS boat adventure in nearly a decade!), we did manage some agile tricks before things went haywire—and oh my goodness… where was all that buzzing excitement for Beekeeping?! 

 Jagex heard cries and whispers loud and clear following a recent survey—they’re committed to improving player support and account safety moving forward!

 

Hold onto your hats because things are heating up! With Augmented RC & Thieving just around the corner, we're ready to grab hold of whatever comes next.

 

Balancing PVM Drops/Boss Adjustments is also underway—it seems they want everyone thriving within Gielinor's economy again!

 

Don’t fret about Double XP; whether you're adjusting or benefiting from it—we’ll find ways to rally together as a community during this time because that's what matters most.

Big congratulations were due for Mighty King Davey hitting his milestone 120 Prayer AND 3rdclarinet achieving glorious 99 Divination—all celebrated by clan leaders who were present at these momentous skilling parties shortly after our last bulletin.

The end of April brought forth Dave's Birthday Bash!! A drop party extravaganza filled with mint cakes 🍰🍬and coconuts 🥥 took place in Falador along with appearances by allies such as Joerockhead6. Lucky little me snagged myself a cosmetic balloon pet amidst all that revelry too! And can we talk about those Citadel guards pulling off elaborate pranks? What fun!

 

The dance floor buzzed as big announcements unfolded regarding the move to Lagrange and we were joined by Marux Crew.

 

With the studio all spruced up and ready to rock, we will finally get back on track with reliable events and production with consideration to Double XP. Can you feel that electric energy? The Citadel calls out to us as a vibrant venue to showcase and grow our spirit! Premiering new lyrics from the Liberation album while encouraging others’ creativity will be magical! And oh my goodness, let’s not forget about that parade we’ve been dreaming of after our return! There will be an unforgettable moments for us all!

 

Shoutout to Dave of FL for crafting this month’s calendar based on our clan traditions—he truly knows how to keep us organized while making every event feel special. We’re so lucky to have him guiding us through this journey.

 

Calendar by Dave of FL

 

Our new studio foundation is coming together beautifully—a solid space filled with inspiration just waiting for those bursts of creativity (including recent ideas swirling around Jasper’s head!). While we're eagerly awaiting furniture delivery for surface space—we can already imagine all the jam sessions we'll have once everything is set up perfectly!

 

The music video will soon become one of the best ever made—and we’re beyond excited that it’ll honor our past work, supporters and Pops’ memory. With awards at every turn and a brighter future waiting, we will pour ourselves into this project wholeheartedly; after all, it deserves nothing less than our passion and dedication!

Thanks to An for fixing those pesky blog issues on Spacehey—we’re almost there with a reliable workspace now! We promise we’ll start syndicating fresh chapters from Divination's Destiny right back into Baroness’ Bulletin before you know it. How thrilling is that?!

💌 Now here's where YOU come in: We want YOUR feedback on everything in Divination’s Destiny moving forward! What are your thoughts?

linktr.ee/NORSLore

 

When his bike was packed away, Jasper traveled to closest most worthwhile place he could get to on foot (also knowing it was the last time for that particular location) and was not disappointed when he opted for a kids meal (with a free tiny shake) seeing the promotion on the door (which would also save him money) and was not disappointed to find a promotion on par with Frosty Frights of last Halloween. The figures that also happened to be included with his lettuce wrapped tiny burger, apple slices, soda, and complimentary frosty jr happened to be the Shazam Trio he was hoping for in chroma green. Charlie says these sturdy figurines will lend themselves well to roleplay.

 

Bonus round - At some point we are sure we promised someone that we would review Koss Porta Pro Wireless 2 - which Jasper received as a birthday gift at the end of last year along with some Yaxi pads which were installed immediately. They remain in daily use for their comfort and open back that allows outside audio to be heard along with audio of choice in the most objective way possible. Note the patented antenna innovation integrated into the headband.

 

Honorable mentions - Delorean hot wheel variants one in a vapor wave/future funk style that is a testament to the prevalence of the 80s (sadly we don’t know the whereabouts of ours right now) to this day and one in Nors colors that we have painted over with hex coding as an artistic offer for you in this issue.

Song of the Day:

✨ "All Mixed Up" by The Cars – A Sonic Delight!✨
Captures the essence of New Wave perfectly with its catchy hooks and infectious energy. The blend of synths and guitars creates a dreamy soundscape that feels both nostalgic and fresh at the same time. The lyrics evoke feelings of confusion mixed with excitement about love and life. It reminds me of those moments when we’re lost in thought but still find joy in every twist and turn.

Album of the Day:
🌈 The Prime Story by Polyphonic Size – An Auditory Adventure!🌈
Now let’s talk about this mesmerizing album—it truly takes listeners on a journey through soundscapes that are rich with emotion and creativity. Each track unfolds like a chapter from an enchanting storybook filled with whimsical melodies.

Polyphonic Size has crafted something special here—a fusion of genres that invites you to explore new musical territories while keeping you grounded in heartfelt themes. This is perfect for cozy evenings spent creating art or writing stories together under twinkling fairy lights.

Movie of the Day:
🎥 A.I. Film by Spielberg/Kubrik – A Thought-Provoking Masterpiece!🎥
This film is nothing short of breathtaking—a stunning exploration of humanity intertwined with technology wrapped up in a beautifully haunting narrative. The visuals are so captivating they’ll leave you spellbound as they transport you into another realm entirely.

“A.I.” dives deep into what it means to feel emotions beyond just being human—and oh my goodness, doesn’t it resonate? As we navigate our own dreams together, this cinematic gem will spark meaningful conversations between us about love, existence, and everything in between.

Book of the Day:
📖 The Watchmen by Alan Moore – A Bold Exploration of Morality!📖
Intricate storytelling combined with complex characters challenges traditional superhero narratives while delving into darker themes surrounding power dynamics.

Alan Moore masterfully intertwines philosophy within action-packed panels—making readers question their perceptions long after turning the last page.

 

💫 In 1984, Prince released his legendary single “When Doves Cry,” which became an instant hit—and who could resist dancing along?!

Although there are challenges everywhere—with kindness and compassion at our core—we can uplift each other through art and community connection. Partners in creativity (and life!) have immense power not only to inspire but also bring happiness wherever they go.

 

With love notes & power chords,

Nora Lumwood 🎸💖

And Happy Mother’s Day

Roll the dice, let the cards fall,
Into the hands of fate, we all stand,
With hope and faith as our guide.
Every moment is a chance,
To learn and grow in our quest,
To become better, to become best.

Today’s divine insights encourage embracing creative expression amidst perceived obstacles while fostering self-forgiveness and unwavering belief in one’s capabilities—all leading toward transformative experiences through exploration!

“As things are, we are no pleasure in existence except when we are striving after something - in which case distance and difficulties make our goal look as if it would satisfy us (an illusion which fades when we reach it) - or when engaged in purely intellectual activity, in which case we are really stepping out of life so as to regard it from the outside, like spectators at a play.” - Arthur Schopenhauer, Essays and Aphorisms (On The Vanity of Existence)

Dice and Cards of the Day - Sun. June 15, 2025

The typical Newgrounder might assume that Cutsie Creeper is working with a small audience—but oh, how wrong they’d be! 🌟 With her impressive following across social media platforms thanks to her incredible art skills and her delightful live-action/animated series “The Only 3D Person at Cartoon School,” it's no wonder she takes time to respond thoughtfully when she does.

We’ve been buzzing with excitement over writing this piece ever since we checked in for updates on her response the other day. Initially, we thought about simply rehashing our message as a footnote review, but let me tell you: further research led to finding more than what met the eye on just the first platform we came across her on!🎉✨

Cutsie Creeper is a wholesome powerhouse bursting with youthful energy—a true gem gifted in voice acting for characters of all ages and genders while showcasing remarkable artistic talent. Her work transcends mere entertainment; it embodies a burgeoning niche subculture within animation that echoes the spirit of punk rock passion! Each frame bursts forth from an endless wellspring of dedication and humor that keeps us grinning ear-to-ear.

Her series offers a refreshing twist on classic high school romance tropes—layered with self-awareness and character-driven laughs reminding us of our very own “Divination’s Destiny” and music videos we adore creating together! It’s like peering into a kaleidoscope filled with recurring gags that'll leave your sides splitting from laughter! 💖

So who else out there would cheer for an epic collaboration? Whether or not it materializes, I implore everyone to dive headfirst into Cutsie Creeper's captivating content—you won’t regret it!

In navigating through life's transformations this week—with a blend of creativity and determination—we celebrate small victories as stepping stones toward greater success.

And don’t forget Musashi's wise words about skillful planning—this week calls for thoughtful actions as you shape your path forward with grace!

Petty Vacancies/Founder-King shirt SS Mon. July 21, 2025

Hey there, fabulous friends and fellow art enthusiasts! Are you ready to wear something that speaks volumes? We’re thrilled to unveil our latest tee shirt design—a captivating piece inspired by a powerful scene from our upcoming music video project! https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=1025559

www.norsupdates.com/special-bonus/#!/

🖌️ Unlike any other shirts in our store (don’t worry, more anime magic featuring @keicreate is coming soon!), this one takes a subversive yet thoughtful approach. Featuring Roman soldiers hanging up Jesus against a backdrop of stark modernity—with building frames and vacant business suites—it invites contemplation rather than condemnation.

Front-and-center in stunning Vaporwave fonts are the words:
“The founder, the king. Justified in everything. Answer to anything. Or simply nothing at all.”
And don’t forget about the cheeky reminder on the back:
“Call never or whenever for petty vacancies.”

This isn’t just fashion; it’s a conversation starter—a chance for us all to reflect on integrity amid life’s beautiful chaos! 💭️ Inspired by recent divination readings and artistic musings, we aim not to instill doubt but rather spark curiosity about common hypocrisy within society.

So if you're looking to express yourself through artful attire that challenges norms with style—and maybe even turn some heads—this is the shirt for you!

👕✨ Head over to our Spreadshirt now and grab yours before they fly off the virtual shelves! Let your wardrobe speak its truth alongside us as we continue creating waves together in both music and message!

Spread love, embrace creativity… And remember: always be serviceable (or never)!

Stay tuned because there will be plenty more exciting designs dropping soon.

With endless affection,
Your Baroness Nora Lumwood 💋💫
