Canon
The series itself is divided into four standalone, yet narratively-connected songs, utilizing a mix of digital animation, voice synths (Synthesizer V, in particular), and prose to convey the perspectives and internal thoughts of the characters each of them are about:
- Reckless Battery Burns was released on June 18, 2022, and features Tamari, a sentient, AI-powered prototype android as one of the main characters.
- End-World Normopathy was released on March 9, 2023, and introduces both Fayrouz Khalid, a disgruntled Iraqi roboticist with an affinity for cats and cross-stitching, and Mariyam, Tamari's sibling and a fellow android.
- Lamentations was released on April 13, 2023, and primarily features Fayrouz, as well as expanding on the circumstances that led to the creation of both androids, initially designed and thought of as therapists.
As of 2024, it remains to be seen when the final entry of the four-song series will be released, although fans have speculated its content to center around Fayrouz's husband, as well as the conclusion to Tamari's attempt to reach beyond their reality alongside their sister.
Fandom
This article or section needs expansion. |
Due to its multi-media setting, although most of it focuses on the music videos themselves, the fandom noticably creates fan art, fanfics based on the characters themselves and their own personalities; most fans specificaliy gravitate towards Tamari, for instance, not only because of their character designs (one of them resembling a mechanical take on an angel, albeit with the wings made of steel and electronic components), but also of their personality, which exudes someone coping with the harsh realities of life and society as a terminaly-online adolescent would, gravitating towards media and hobbies they commonly cherish with in order to calm their internal psyche.
