30 day VGM thing, day 28
Nostalgic - Sadly we're in "Problematic Fav" territory here. :| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jczIOUqFTWc Bear A Grudge's title/main theme music, by J.Dave Rogers. A (not wholly bad) Space Harrier clone for the spectrum made for the Sinclair User magazine featuring their mascot character. The poster of the video's comment in the description is right on the money for what said character is named. Yikes. Good tune tho.

I mean look at this dipshit, even THIS colossal garbage lump (okay Bede gets way better later on and I wanna hug them now that I've completed the game but still they start off as total garbage) has an amazing fucking themesong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_TPXbH7ee4

Handheld - ...would it be cheating to say Pokemon Sword and Shield's Battle Tower theme, the one by Toby Fox? I feel like it might be cheating. ... ah fuck it, the Switch is pretty much a handheld console through and through really. It just happens to be able to be played as a tv console. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pvm5yDtaGiY . Honestly both Marnie and Bede have amazing fuckin' tracks when you battle them too, that whole game had great music, really.
me: *using computer peacefully, gets up to go get a drink*
me: *comes back, goes to sit down and use computer*
Microsoft Edge: "HI I'M YOUR NEW BROWSER WHAT'S UP HEY IS IT COOL IF I SET MYSELF AS THE DEFAULT?"
me: "WHAT THE FU-WHERE DID YOU COME FROM OH GOD WHAT"
Edge: "lol yeah i just figured I should install and make myself known and introduce myself I bet we're gonna be best friends"
in short, holy fuck microsoft piss off.

my other choice was Port Town from Wild Arms. Really lovely, chill tune, I could just... listen to it forever honestly. https://youtu.be/lBEvtA4Uuwk very chill. Great spaghetti western styled music. Shame it's an old JRPG so I'll never play it lol e-e;

Game not played - ...Okay I'm... super torn on this one, but I thiiiink I'm gonna go with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ajMG0bxtXY "awnglier maguielaw elir" which is from a Tsukihime visnov game.
I... have never played a visnov game really, unless the Phoenix Wright games and VA11-Hall-A count. I have never played a single Tsukihime game either. I like, watched an OAV of it I think once? It was... underwhelming I guess?
But I do adore this tune so much, it's beautiful.
we're at the point of british summer where we are officially into bullshit territory
i can tell because I am absolutely going to have to use, instead of a duvet, an empty duvet cover just so I have SOMETHING covering me so I can comfortably sleep, but also not something so thick that I become an easy bake sknq in my bed.
THE MOON RABBIT
Many cultures have interpreted the dark markings on the moon to look like a rabbit or hair. This has led to many myths and folk-tales about how that rabbit ended up in the moon.
Interestingly a lot of those story revolve around the themes of virtue through self sacrifice.
In the Jataka tales from India, The rabbit came across an old man begging for food. Knowing only how to collect grass, the rabbit threw itself onto the fire so the man would have something to eat. The rabbit miraculously was not burnt though, and the old man reviled himself to be a Deva, and touched by the rabbits show of virtue drew the rabbits likeness on the moon as reward.
There is a similar Japanese legend with localized elements.
In Aztec legend, there is again a similar story, of a hair offering herself to a hungry Quetzalcoatl, as the god traveled in human form. Again, the rabbit was placed in the moon as reward for its selflessness.
In Mayan art, glyphs, hieroglyphics, and inscriptions, a rabbit frequently is shown with their Moon Goddess and another deity related to the moon.
Interestingly, there is not believed to be any crossover between the Asian and indigenous American
moon rabbit legends.
In Chinese mythology the moon hair mixes herbs for the elixir of immortality for the immortals of legend.
