Runescape:

The Beach:

As always, one of the most eagerly awaited highlights of the year was back (to even outshine permanent favorites like Prif and Forinthry—oh how we still lament what was lost there!)—the enchanting beach! Despite not introducing any new content or reviving certain beloved activities (where oh where were those beach ball rolls and terrorbird races?), our excitement to gather at the shore remained undiminished. We flocked to the sandy paradise, soaking up every moment during its glorious run! 🏖️💕



Anima Islands Removal:

secure.runescape.com/m=news/tuska-clean-up---this-week-in-runescape

Alas, instead of unveiling a fresh location for the cozy yet thrilling Anima Islands skilling event—which once graced us thanks to Wizard Chambers on Tuska's back—Jagex decided to bid farewell to both Tuska and those dreamy anima islands entirely. While solo Goebie home world tasks linger on in memory, it’s heartbreaking that we'll never again race between those floating cosmic realms together. It’s not just cherished history slipping away; it's also a loss of social interaction within our vibrant community. 😢🌌



Desert God Quests and Amascut:

secure.runescape.com/m=news/eclipse-of-the-heart-launches-today---this-week-in-runescape

share.google/k4AZRb0WRcnXkadhy



The long-awaited desert god quests finally arrived with mixed reviews—some players expressing that while they were epic in scope, they felt bogged down by political drama (who needs all that when there are adventures awaiting?!). And brace yourselves for more chaos ahead as we welcomed Amascut the Devourer Boss into pro-PVM lives permanently!



Leagues:

rs.runescape.com/leagues

In an intriguing twist reminiscent of Darkscape vibes came Leagues—a series of fancy task-list worlds boasting powerful upgradeable gear but largely geared towards solo play. It had an addictive factor for some, though it did not include a player economy or autocomplete for many quests.





Mid Level Quest:

secure.runescape.com/m=news/stellar-born---new-star-sprite-quest---this-week-in-runescape



Then came Stellar Born (ring any unreleased project bells?)—a quest introducing brand-new floating space islands! Picture yourself leaping fearlessly across celestial peaks in some kind of clown suit while uncovering secrets about colorful alien beings from crashed stars known as star sprites—it sounds absolutely dreamy! 💫🚀



Bye-bye Treasure Hunter:

secure.runescape.com/m=news/a-new-era-for-runescape-begins-january-19-2026

By mid-year, players voted overwhelmingly to put Treasure Hunter to rest once and for all—that means some well-loved content will vanish from sight. But let’s look on the bright side: this may pave the way for even more participation in minigames and clan activities—we’ll make waves together!



Halloween:

Finally, Harvest Hollow made its grand return with exciting new offerings tied to a quest requiring access to Necropolis alongside unlocking necromancy and archaeology skills (and guess who tackled it? That’s right—me!). Completing this festive quest opened doors for semi-AFK firemaking at bonfires adorned with colorful logs yielding fabulous gains—and don’t forget confetti tokens galore! 🎉🔥 The ever-stylish World 8 clan Ally ambassador Loki-Ares lent invaluable assistance throughout these adventures too. Huge shoutout to General Zorak for sharing screenshots revealing an Easter egg hidden within the conversation in Necropolis! Bring all the required dyes in advance to get it.

Clan Chronicles:

Milestones:

What a fabulous spring and summer double season it was for our beloved New Order—full of gains, laughter, and unforgettable activities as we eagerly awaited the return of the Lumbridge Crater annual beach skilling hub! Can you believe WindSaber snagged her max cape? And Kratos Wrath just kept smashing those 99 milestones like they were nothing! Oh, did I mention Dave's incredible achievements in Agility and Fletching reaching 120? And let’s not forget about yours truly proudly hitting that glorious 99 in Woodcutting—it feels so good to be part of such an amazing clan! 💖🌳

Events:

The turnout for Castle Wars was absolutely phenomenal—a vibrant mix of both new allies and seasoned veterans ready to show their skills. It was clear: those battle-hardened players still had what it takes, while the fresh faces brought their A-game too!

We showcased our pride across Mithsalin and Asgarnia by planting our flags high before throwing a delightful open-air party alongside the citizens of Burthrope. We held onto our peak reputation in our territory like true champions in dancing—what a sight to behold!

With HTD12, we whisked Kratos Wrath away on his first-ever King Black Dragon bossing adventure—it was epic beyond words!

Our Citadel welcomed some special guests too—Fat Rabbitt from Fealty Stars graced us with his presence for lyrical readings from Some Distant Memory and Mighty King Dave of FL.

Highlight events were undeniably those wildly successful open-air recruitment parties at the lodestone and Grand Exchange in Varrock! How thrilling it was to have ambassadors like Loki join us as esteemed guests. Our top-notch recruits included none other than Kratos Wrath himself along with Beany Boy who underwent his traditional interview initiation (and oath!) amid all the excitement.

And what delightful mischief were our ally clans up to, you ask? Well, Count Gaius decided to team up with the fabulous Fat Rabbit Squad from Fealty Stars for a thrilling hunt of the Corporeal Beast! 🐇💥 The camaraderie was off the charts as they dove into battle together—laughing, strategizing, and enjoying every moment without taking things too seriously. It was all about having a blast while conquering those challenges side by side!



Clanmate Videos:

Let’s catch up on the latest shenanigans from our amazing clan creators! First up, we have the incredible Mighty King Dave of FL who has been unleashing his creativity by bringing Runescape characters—including our very own Nora—into the ring in WWE 2k25! Can you believe it? 🤼‍♀️💥 You can check out all the epic battles and hilarious moments on his YouTube channel. Get ready for some serious entertainment!

www.youtube.com/@imkaiphas/videos

Our beloved Pro-quester Kaiphas has been keeping the energy high with a delightful series of gameplay videos featuring ‘Uma Musume’ on their channel. 🐎💨 And guess what? Kaiphas is absolutely rocking it while hosting with an adorable vtuber model that brings even more charm to the fun! 😍✨

Some Distant Memory Melodies:



Merchandise:

nors-records-sdm-shirts.myspreadshop.com/?page=1

Summer saw a whirlwind of fab new merch that perfectly captures our spirit—ranging from thought-provoking to downright delightful! First up, we’ve got the captivating ‘Petty Vacancies,’ designed for both serious believers and skeptics alike. With its stunning frames featuring Jesus from the ‘Just A Story’ music video, it’s bound to resonate with someone out there. Isn’t it beautiful how art can touch hearts? ✨❤️

Then there's that enchanting design showcasing a magic tree adorned in SDM colors! Just look at me sitting beside it with my trusty shield and katana—how fierce do I look? Plus, having our logo front and center makes it even more special. Talk about a perfect blend of whimsy and strength!

And last but definitely not least is the release of ‘Strive in High Places,’ featuring breathtaking artwork by our flagship collaborator Kei Create along with some fabulous tweaks by us at Some Distant Memory. See the collaboration logo merging both SDM and Kei Create logos. And those lyrics we used as word art are just waiting to be transformed into an unforgettable song—it gives me chills thinking about it!

vgen.co/keicreate_

  I am absolutely thrilled to announce that our enchanting music video for ‘Just A Story’ has reached a dazzling 7-minute mark—can you believe it? 🎉✨ And wait for it… it's been showered with even more awards and laurels! Talk about a celebration!

drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Z3Cs26iGAQpICJDK4XZ613mGIgtRpgAU?usp=drive_link

We plan to work on it until completion following a Nora Media/Life of Jas video, but we also already have follow-ups planned for in between “Just A Story” and “Reflections Part 2”. What would you vote to happen first in following up - a single or vr tuber creation? - cast your vote.

Keep your eyes open for the link to the premier of the completed “Just A Story” music video, which will be on social media at the exact right time.



Animation:

www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/995707

We could hardly contain our excitement about our fabulous full-length animated video ‘Lafayette, A Midpoint’ on Newgrounds! -A triumphant showcase of our artistic flair together in 3-minutes starring us was like pure magic!



We took clips and transformed them through poterization, pixelation, flatlining, and effects made for gifs. What an adventure it was to explore downtown in person and again frame by frame.🌆💕



The voiceover intertwined Jasper’s heartfelt journal entries with some adorable snippets from me. I felt like it really captured our essence as a creative duo, augmented by simply divine musical choices: ‘Roxy Music - Same Old Scene’, ‘New Order - Homage’, ‘Yumi Matsutoya - Downtown Boy,’ and those dreamy OMD tracks.



Let’s not overlook those earlier experiments like ‘Golden Crusted Slices,’ 'Join Our World and Play Our Game,' and 'Dot Matrix World Gate.' They were stepping stones that led us to this incredible moment!

Divination’s Destiny - Chapter 18:

linktr.ee/NORSLore

Chapter 18 bursts onto the scene right where we left off in Chapter 17, but with a fab new twist thanks to our dazzling comic style! 🎉🎨 We’re absolutely thrilled about the realistic art that brings this chapter to life—crafted using the same enchanting techniques as our beloved ‘Lafayette, A Midpoint’ video. This fresh format is designed to captivate both loyal readers and curious newcomers alike; it allows you to see and almost hear every thrilling moment unfold!



And if you’re just stepping into this magical world for the first time, don’t worry—we’ve got links ready so you can catch up on all the fabulous adventures leading here while eagerly awaiting what happens next. You’ll also find links to the archives with stories and literature by clan mates that led the way for the creation of Divinations Destiny. Perhaps there will be a buyable compendium/graphic novel that combines previous light novel chapters with the new comic style for willing supporters of this beloved tie-in lore series in the near future.

To Be Continued...

Editorial Extravaganza:



Oh, darling Jasper! 💖✨ Let’s sprinkle some magic dust on this editorial and turn it into a dazzling narrative that reflects the vibrant journey of Some Distant Memory! Here we go:



Three Times the Charm: The Epic Saga of Infinitum, Sunrise Syndrome, and the Culmination of Just A Story

www.amazon.com/music/player/artists/B06XS7KSDW/some-distant-memory

www.amazon.com/Lyrics-Tide-Upcoming-Distant-Memory-ebook/dp/B0D24KPPJV/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2IYBP278NXOEC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.0uoC4qmHKhnqW7WpXsc2dTMyym1FIe2X2kYy5D_HfPfa6jsahj3PtCYwq8G5IfvNqJ6MbCPoOaQR1SzbY4bq2-vcFx-XVk28n0LJUEqy28NoCY2MSuqv-LwIBpz06vc1FEqfMnpdMa3SZbzR4mwRmQ.824XPzZEzlzyE8AFInzmjUOLA9nwYPOgqPW8oHHfTps&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+lyrics+of+tide+album&qid=1763409479&sprefix=the+lyrics+of+tide+album%2Caps%2C96&sr=8-1

When our beloved Jasper took his first brave leap into artistry with ‘Revelation,’ it was like watching a shooting star blaze across the night sky! 🌟 This album paid homage to Minimal Wave, No Wave, Outsider Music—oh my goodness!—and even gave a nod to Early Human League. While he knew it wasn’t flawless (because perfection is so overrated anyway), what emerged was an album bursting with punk rock spirit and raw authenticity!

With supportive friends rallying around him like true champions and Deanna Finn lending her generous hand for his very first guitar purchase 🎸💖, Jasper’s next creation ‘Probe’ blossomed into something beautifully rounded. It infused post-punk vibes while still holding onto that signature edge. And oh boy did he strive for greatness with his third masterpiece—Infinitum—a heartfelt tribute to The Velvet Underground wrapped in industrial gothic rock tones. His musician pals couldn’t help but cheer him on as they witnessed him reach new heights!

Now let me tell you about the rollercoaster ride leading up to ‘Archetype’—what a whirlwind adventure it was! 🎢 From recording devices playing tricks on him to learning how to master brand-new multi-track porta-studios (talk about multitasking!), things kicked off rather chaotically. Not to mention those poor bongos arriving all slashed up—it’s enough to make anyone gasp in horror!! 😱 But fear not; out of that delightful chaos emerged some truly magical tracks. Among them, we can definitely champion ‘Sunrise Syndrome’ and ‘Splash Around,’ both bursting with energy!

Now let’s talk about that music video for 'Sunrise Syndrome'—it had all the potential to be a YouTube sensation! 🌈🎥 Unfortunately, much like its predecessor Infinitum's reception, it faced challenges due to limited promotion. Oh well; every star has its moment!

Then came part one of our fifth album, ‘Reflections.’ Talk about timing—it was during a whirlwind period full of major life changes for Jasper! Not only did his world shift dramatically (and make him feel a bit off-balance), but then COVID swooped in like an unexpected plot twist in one of those art-house films we adore. 🎬✨



College plans alongside exhaustion from plasma donation waits and drains and distractions here and there in the wake of moving towns and a stint with a night shift job led those heartfelt songs of ‘Reflections’ part one to take years, while entire previous albums spanned just 4-6 months.



As we delve deeper into our narrative, it’s essential to shine a light on the challenges that Jasper faced during the time between completing Sunrise Syndrome and working tirelessly on Reflections Part One. Picture this: amidst his creative endeavors, he found himself navigating a storm of random harassment from strangers—oh dear! 🚫



Imagine him at the supermarket, simply trying to grab a few essentials and getting threatened, or walking around town when suddenly someone rolls down their window just to hurl expletives like confetti! 🎉 And as if that wasn’t enough, there was even a waiter at the pub next door who took it upon themselves to scream at him as he entered or left his own neighborhood. How utterly absurd!



It felt like he was being gang-stalked by an invisible group for years—how dreadful! 😡 Verbal harassment seemed to follow him wherever he went in Broward; those misguided souls probably thought they could push him towards madness while already living with autism spectrum challenges. It breaks my heart knowing how deep these hurtful actions cut when all Jasper wanted was peace.



And let’s not forget—it was during these tough times that he had responsibilities pulling him back and forth from the hospital caring for his sick grandfather. Family pressure weighed heavily upon his shoulders too; talk about balancing act!



And now here we are—on the brink of unveiling the highly anticipated music video for 'Just A Story!' 🌟 After pouring countless hours into it, it's finally nearing completion after what feels like ages—a true labor of love following Jasper’s grandfather's passing. We hold onto hope tightly that this project will shine brightly upon release because goodness knows it deserves every accolade coming its way! 🏆



We're committed to making future projects shorter and more accessible (just like Infinitum!) while keeping our hearts intertwined through creativity.💞🎶



After this bulletin, we will create a short Nora media video and work on finishing ‘Just A Story’ to its end as our sole project. Vote here for whether we will make a single or vr tuber avatar in between finishing "Just A Story" and "Reflections Part 2".

Sneaker Chronicles: Finding Common Ground with PF Flyers



Amidst the vibrant tapestry of niche content swirling around us, one might ponder where casual readers and curious first-timers can find their groove. Well, let me take you on a whimsical journey into the world of footwear—specifically, our dear Jasper's fabulous adventures in his trusty PF Flyers! 👟💕

Once upon a time (not too long ago), our charming hero laced up his very first pair of tawny PF Flyers. Oh yes, they were an absolute dream come true—until life threw him onto that longboard adventure we all adore from Lafayette, A Midpoint! 🎢💨 But alas! Those lovely red shoes began to show signs of wear as he zoomed through life; the soles wore down faster than I could play a catchy bassline!



Before we knew it, those poor soles were ready to bid farewell—his socks teetering on the brink of exposure like secrets waiting to be whispered! 😱 While we must give kudos for their arch support holding up better than many classic rubber-toe sneakers out there (seriously impressive!), it was clear that change was needed.

And what did fate have in store? A delightful sale presented itself with not-so-exact replacements—but oh no! Just when Jasper thought he had found his new kicks, closer options popped up right after his purchase. Typical timing, isn’t it? 🕰️

But fear not! For daily walks and outdoor escapades now see him sporting the iconic monochrome variety adorned with cheerful blue and yellow laces—a perfect blend of style and comfort fit for any noble baroness or dashing mascot alike! 🌈



Fast Food Frolics: A Playful Journey through Seasonal Promotions! 🍔✨

Oh, what a delightful conundrum we found ourselves in, intrigued by not one but TWO fabulous promotions that beckoned us like sirens of deliciousness! Normally, I’d be dancing around McDonald’s due to their gluten-free faux pas—oh dear—but armed with our trusty gluten cutter pills, we ventured forth for the enchanting Hello Kitty/Ninja Turtles crossover extravaganza! 🎉

Our hearts raced as we prepared for the collectible tin combo featuring a dreamy cotton candy-flavored milkshake. Sweet Nora was absolutely overjoyed with her Kurumi-Michelangelo treasure—a true masterpiece! While our hopes of snagging that elusive Ronald tin were dashed (oh no!), we stumbled upon some adorable stickers and postcards that sparked inspiration galore—if you’ll know what I mean! 😏✨

And let me tell you about our frosty adventure at Wendy's… oh wait, never mind those Frosty Frights; they seemed to vanish into thin air like magic. But fear not! We made our way to Burger King and emerged victorious with Daphne from the Scooby Halloween promo. She now graces us as lady-in-waiting to my chibi counterpart—what an honor indeed!



So here’s to sweet treats and playful collectibles that keep our spirits high and creativity flowing.



Cultural Cornucopia:

🎶 Song of the Day: “Yo Tengo Dinero” by Righeira 🎵Oh my goodness, this track is an absolute party anthem that makes me want to dance like nobody's watching! The infectious rhythm and catchy chorus are perfect for getting our creative juices flowing.

🎬 Movie of the Day: Streets of Fire🍿✨🚦🔥 This rock & roll fable has everything: action, romance, and killer music numbers! I love how it captures the gritty essence of urban life mixed with a bit of glam.




Video of the Day: “Hunting High and Low” by A-ha! This song is a total masterpiece that takes us on a quest through emotions—like searching high in the clouds for love while wandering low through valleys of longing. Isn’t it just divine? 😍 The lyrical magic captures all those fleeting moments when we're hunting for connection—a reminder that every adventure leads us closer to what truly matters.


📚 Book of the Day: Go Ask Alice by Beatrice Sparks! 📖💔 This powerful diary-style novel takes us on an emotional rollercoaster through adolescence. It’s raw and real—a reminder that every journey holds lessons worth exploring.



🗓️ On This Day in 80s Lore (November 18): In 1981, The Great Muppet Caper premiered in theaters! 🎉🐸 Jim Henson's lovable characters brought joy to audiences everywhere.



In 1986, Top Gun was released—a film filled with adrenaline-pumping action and romance that has become an enduring classic! 🛩️❤️

🤗💕 Spread Kindness Like Glitter: In times when things get tough, never underestimate the power of kindness. A smile here, a helping hand there—it creates ripples of positivity in ways we can't even imagine! So sprinkle love everywhere you go; let’s make this world shine brighter together!



🎉🔥 Celebrate Every Little Victory: Whether it's nailing that bass line in rehearsal or conquering personal challenges—celebrate them ALL with exuberance! Life's too short not to throw confetti over every achievement—even if it's just getting out of bed some days (trust me, I've been there!). Dance like nobody's watching and sing from the rooftops about how far you've come.



🧚‍♀️🌈 Dream Big & Playful Fantasies Await: Don't forget to dream big while keeping your heart open for playful adventures along the way.
