Tinion's Finale is the sixth official [[Tinion Steamdust]] album and BiteIsMe's debut album released May 28th 2023. It was the first time Bite has ever treated a music project serious to some extent, and amounts to nearly two hours of material. The album was developed throughout Late 2022 to Early 2023, released on YouTube and only on September 22nd 2023 would reach streaming services.

The YouTube description reads "Tinion's Finale" is a three-act album that serves as a fitting conclusion to the story of [[Tinion Steamdust]]. The album tells the story of Tinion and Bite, with the latter using the songs to express his recent months' experiences and [[Linion Island]]'s history.<br><br>

== '''2. Background & Development''' ==
The conceptualization of Tinion's Finale began as a joke, something more akin to [[Emotions of Tinion]] in its length and unserious content. Around November of 2022, [[BiteIsMe]] wrote “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp327ASfuAg&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=7&pp=8AUB THE YM DISORDER],” originally titled “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVYfrmxACCk&pp=ygUbeW0gYmV0YSBzY3JhcHBlZCAxIGJpdGVpc21l YM TYPE DISSTRACK]” or “HG TYPE DISSTRACK,” on a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teFVrXXcIMY stolen YouTube type beat], following claims of MrYM being involved in talking to minors on Hello Kitty Roblox roleplay games. The track would slowly evolve to call out multiple people Bite detested at the time while still making MrYM the song's focal point. After finishing the first draft of the lyrics, Bite looked further into MrYM in an attempt to revise some lines and write better disses. This became a habit of searching through their old private messages to reminisce, and what was once joke hatred slowly turned into an unhealthy obsession with the guy.
[[File:B 1.webp|thumb|The HyperX Solocast, the only microphone Bite has ever bought in his life.|299x299px]]
When Bite attempted to record the song in FL Studio, he came to the realization of just how horrible his microphone quality was, which led him to purchase a HyperX Solocast, which is still being used to this day. Bite wouldn't record vocals in FL Studio since this first version of the song up until late 2024. Part of the unhealthy obsession developed with MrYM resulted in many audio files of him resurfacing, which Bite sampled for a skit at the end of the song. 

All of this was developed with no relation to [[Tinion Steamdust|Tinion]] at all. During that time, Bite began experimenting with FL Studio further, learning to implement some of the basic synthesizer plugins into his music. Combining that with what he knew of classical music, he ended up with the 5-minute track “The Last Day,” which he planned would be the penultimate track in Tinion's Finale. 

For a week since then, he was trying to figure out how to expand on [[Tinion Steamdust's Encore|Tinion Steamdust’s Encore’s]] “Serenade To Tinion.” In a voice chat with SpringCola, he eventually developed the title track for Tinion's Finale and was satisfied with the grand orchestral sound he believed to have achieved.

Bite wanted more Linion Island related tracks instead of just Cam, then realized he can blend the two. So he recruited him to perform a song called "[https://youtu.be/E9P0Gwm1Guw?si=y46qaAr9mZKKlJcg I Killed Ms. Jinion]", on top of a royalty free piano instrumental. The day tomorrow Bite regretted the song's creation, and told Cam to instead record "[https://youtu.be/BEldxfp-J0g?si=pmdVez9j61svd6Bs I'm Going Back Home]," a country-esque ballad about Cam returning to his roots after serving his part as [[Tinion Steamdust|Tinion]], much different than the ending later chosen for his character, suicide in a hotel room.

Around December 2022, Bite came across an [[LHUGUENY]] Story of Undertale meme with the song “NEW MAGIC WAND,” which led him to listen to IGOR by Tyler, the Creator, for the first time. The album blew his mind like no other at the time and inspired him to create music about his troubles, too. This rolled into the decision to make Tinion's Finale a serious album, dealing both with [[Tinion Steamdust]] and Bite's personal life.

With “NEW MAGIC WAND” and “WHAT'S GOOD” being his favorite cuts, Bite too, wanted to make a hardcore, hard-hitting rap song. He stumbled across a Trap Metal beat and decided to steal that too, turning it into the scrapped track “ADAM TYPE DISSTRACK.”[[File:Ais xray.jpg|thumb|281x281px|Demonstration of 45'''°''' degrees scoliosis Bite suffers from.|left]]Bite also wanted to explore some more somber themes and soundscapes, which resulted in the creation of “TIME TO MOVE ON,” a song dedicated to MrYM and, at the same time, Franku, with whom he lost contact for a period. For the longest time, the song remained an instrumental, with the lyrics never recorded. Bite couldn't find pride in his singing abilities and, after multiple failed attempts, just turned the lyrics into spoken word, reciting it on top of the instrumental. Only around February would Bite manage to record the published version’s vocal tracks.
Just around December, [[BiteIsMe]] first got diagnosed with severe scoliosis. This demanded spine checkups every half a year in a central hospital. From November to December, Bite found himself playing into more problematic parts of his personality, purposefully giving into drama. One day in late December, Bite had to wake up around 6 AM for one of those medical checkups, following a day full of arguing and a long announcement in which he tried to explain himself. After nearly missing the train at 7:20, he was looking to clear his mind a bit and opened Discord on his phone. To his surprise, his announcement backfired and was deemed as an attempt at manipulation, leading to his banning from multiple servers, with many people he knew blocking him. This scenario inspired the next song, “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4jzZfUODv0&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=9&pp=8AUB I’M DOING SOMETHING WRONG].” A piano outro was added to “[https://youtu.be/L0H1RIh85Gs?si=Vy6IoQNkf8wZeGci ADAM TYPE DISSTRACK]” to transition into the new track, which was then renamed into “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4jzZfUODv0&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=9&pp=8AUB BITE IS ME].”

It should be mentioned there was supposed to be a song after "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4jzZfUODv0&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=9&pp=8AUB BITE IS ME]" titled "[https://youtube.com/shorts/fBN2OJv82SY NOTHING LEFT]" with [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlp_xrx93MQ this YouTube type beat], but it was ultimately scrapped in favor for the planned ending at the time. Another song was attempted to be developed with hopes of being an ending, titled "GET DEEP". It was supposed to be a longer than usual song explaining everything up until this point, but that was scrapped as well six lines in.

At the time, the outro for “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4jzZfUODv0&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=9&pp=8AUB BITE IS ME]” (“If I wanna solve this shit, I better backtrack”) was not yet recorded. The beat had a switch into a slow outro, which later separated into the scrapped track “[https://youtu.be/vsvKYHoKGQc?si=lVWpSMy_2ZjfXCzF FINE.]” Bite’s part of the album was supposed to end on that note, half admitting to things he's done not being very moral or acceptable and just moving on with his life. That's until he remembered the existence of the Valley server and recognized its potential for yet another [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0euWpi_9Y3E&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=10&pp=8AUB anger-driven song].
The Valley discord server was created as a solution to Bite feeling "unable to express himself freely enough in public servers" following the presentation of a sex toy, dubbed an Amazon Alexa, in a public voice chat. The Valley, which began as just another friend group server, transformed into a cesspool of excessively sexual or downright disgusting media just for shock value. It was contained in a secret inaccessible “Chat B” for special members but later spread. At some point during an argument, an invite to The Valley made its way to all sorts of servers and people Bite knew. With all the repulsive media in there and their first impression being Bite banning them immediately, it was only more to the pile against him. The server continued to remain toxic and unapproachable until it was abandoned.[[File:Fuck this shit.png|thumb|The difference between an Amazon Alexa and Fleshlight raise heavy implications - both powered by electricity but tackling different areas of comfort.]]Between the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0euWpi_9Y3E&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=10&pp=8AUB Valley song]'s creation, which took about a month, a few other songs were created, mostly Tinion-related instrumentals like “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beOkxvMhQjk&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=1&pp=8AUB Tinion's Preshow],” originally titled “Introductions,” the second part, which was a reinterpretation of “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGRvYTVve1A&pp=ygUJdHdtaWl3Y2lz TWMIIWCIS],” or “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX7xoKJdOpc&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=2&pp=8AUB Kush Town],” originally titled “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUpUTztl810&list=PLzno6bLKVozydnhsfjCc3Wsz83sRy7NbC&index=12&pp=iAQB8AUB Untitled Instrumental 4]” produced by Ænima. With that came some more unfavorable scrapped songs, for example, “[https://youtube.com/shorts/6yCFskenzXA?si=JTuJFIBWLiq3ZOW4 COME BACK],” which was a desperate plea towards MrYM to return to Bite's life. By the way, Bite was actively stalking MrYM’s new socials at the time to try and win him back and possibly have him do a (real) feature for Tinion's Finale. Unfortunately, this wasn't the peak for the YM obsession quite yet - as the following scrapped track would end up being the reason for half of the album's creation time, plus about half of its initial runtime, too.

"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H23TWjt6y_k LETTING GO 101]", contrary to its name, was the (very large) epitome of Bite's unhealthy attachment to MrYM. An unfinished, two-draft, multi-act song that amounts to about half an hour. The song began with a short chorus about Bite missing YM and wanting him to come back, developed into the story of how they met and what they went through that kept extending longer, and branched out to whole full segments dedicated to the five stages of grief, anyone else Bite talked about up until this point and even the groundwork for the single “[[SEAN WILIKOR]].” Instead of constant revisions, Bite would constantly add to the narrative with the hopes of it eventually feeling like the full picture. The moment the song was finished, it was proofread and scrapped on the spot.

It's important (not really) to mention the creation of “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XawXn1DoPY&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=24&pp=8AUB Legend of Tinion],” which required the assistance of a female singer. In this case, Celeste, a.k.a. Moonlight_Chai, was recruited through the website Casting Call Club to help. The instrumental for this track was fully produced inside Musescore, the same program Bite would use during his first years of piano playing to study and compose classical music. This marks the first time Bite made a song deemed complete in Musescore since late 2018.

In the meantime, yi.st, also known as Cameron wanted to join in on the production of Tinion’s Finale, as he did for previous [[Tinion Steamdust|Tinion]] projects like [[Tinion Steamdust's Encore|Encore]] or [[Emotions of Tinion]]. He and Bite agreed to write a song about Cam’s self-insert character, representing Tinion as part of working for Traphouse Productions. The song was planned to be an in-universe disstrack towards the company, calling them out for their greed and deception. Cameron took on the new name of Ghost, writing the song under the same title. The first draft for Ghost included the exact intro of Rap God by Eminem, directly copied word for word. The rest included lines ranging from ''“Didn’t care how I felt, the song they forced me to sing”'' and ''“They thought I was gonna kill myself, shut the fuck up no I ain’t”'' to ''“One of ‘em loves infla-tion”'' and ''“(Music stops. Followed by a gunshot.) (Music starts) You thought that was me? No. That was me shootin' yo ass”''. Bite heavily criticized it and rewrote the entire thing in class the same day. An introductory interlude for Ghost came from Cam, which was the intro to Tyler, The Creator’s Goblin, copied as well, just replacing Tyler with his name. “You wouldn't do that, Cam, kill yourself or anyone.” Bite declared he would handle the songwriting process from now on. Cam was dissatisfied with Bite mocking his ghostwriting, which led him to attempt deleting the document with his lyrics and refused to do a proper feature for a long time. This coincidentally helped shape the narrative of Traphouse Productions themselves performing as Cameron on the album to compensate for his loss.
[[File:Image 2025-02-28 025826071.png|thumb|Man shares top class methods on how to waste your time.|422x422px|left]]
By this point, it was April and a huge chunk of progress was made. A new song called “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jTm5OgmjxQ&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=11&pp=8AUB REGRETS]” was written, once more about MrYM. A similar one utilizing the same style called “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BqGg_Z2m_g&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=5&pp=8AUB A JINION JUST WANTS TO MATTER MORE]” (Later turned into “Wish”) was produced with a transition to “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EXOtsLbBDI&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=6&pp=8AUB TIME TO MOVE ON].” Ænima produced a new track called “Stroking My Dick.” “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDyq5cFA6lw&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=20&pp=8AUB Desperate I],” “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LU535Cii-U&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=21&pp=8AUB Desperate II],” and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5RjfkM0buY&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=22&pp=8AUB more Ghost tracks] were conceptualized. “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp327ASfuAg&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=7&pp=8AUB THE YM DISORDER]” got a new beat plus name. Not much was left to complete the album, which already amounted to an hour and a half.

The concept now developed into the album containing three parts - Linion lore introduction, Bite's personal stuff and the sum up of [[Tinion Steamdust|Tinion]] & others’ stories. “[[LETTING GO 101]]” was out of the picture, so a new ending song for Bite’s section was needed. There was once a draft for a song titled “My Name Is Bite” that was supposed to cap off the album, but it was unfortunately lost when Bite’s phone suffered severe corrosion after bringing it into the shower. Finding himself unable to make anything from scratch, Bite created a demo for an ending song titled “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1OIiEA1154&pp=ygUaaSBzdWNrIGF0IGVuZGluZ3MgYml0ZWlzbWU%3D I SUCK AT ENDINGS]” based on the “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EXOtsLbBDI&pp=ygUYdGltZSB0byBtb3ZlIG9uIGJpdGVpc21l TIME TO MOVE ON]” .flp file. The instrumental felt too happy and derivative for Bite though, so he immediately scrapped it. After a week of contemplating what to do, Bite started messing with the file again, and ended up with a grimmer instrumental, which he developed into “IMPRESSION”.

Despite the whole sentiment of "IMPRESSION" being Bite finally moving on, he went ahead and continued to obsessively look through his private messages with others who cut contact with him. Through that he reached a certain point in 2020 when a friend of his showed him Melobytes, a prototype AI music generator mostly reliant on midi. A few tracks made through converting images to audio were sent between the two, which Bite thought sounded cool. He previously sampled similar files for [[Tinion Steamdust's Encore|Encore]], but now after being re-introduced to the tool used to make them, he went ahead and created a whole new instrumental that he would then use for "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_waRSt-E2fw&list=PLzno6bLKVozz_OK6jAQLppEKDDsbZ_oMM&index=16&pp=gAQBiAQB8AUB abandoned mural]". The sound collage "i looked into the abyss and saw myself", stemming from the sound list [[Tinion Steamdust]] had in [[TPRR: Bite's Extension|Bite's Extension]] contained samples from Melobytes too.
[[File:33009451871 b5ba9b9c9a b.jpg|thumb|388x388px|Chaos unleashed—fans moshing at the Tinion Steamdust concert, circa 2024.]]
Having wanted to do a live event for some time now, Bite decided to fake one. He intentionally staged and edited [https://youtu.be/4vQeRxtQVVQ?si=CCom7-0vnY4HTM-k 15 minutes worth of a fictional live show]. He began with laying down the instrumentals with extra reverb, layered vocals for some four hours to create the crowd, then performed the whole show in one take, in the middle of which his dad walked in. The 'live event' featured many of [[Tinion Steamdust]]'s 'lovable hits' from the previous albums so far. This will be important later, so keep this track in mind.

Bite places the concert track around the first third, where he also wanted some random Linion Island song. One night, during a walk home, Bite was pacing in the rain holding a small Coca Cola can. Right then and there it hit him, the line "Just a single Jinion outside, drinking Cola in the rain." Unfortunately, now matter how much Bite tried to develop [https://youtu.be/4kPzY6376yU?si=hdi0gVgb0Iz5CWfg that song] (not a lot) it didn't go nowhere, so he just scrapped it. Instead, he posted an announcement in his server, recruiting random people for 50 robux to have a part in an interview at the end of [https://youtu.be/4vQeRxtQVVQ?si=CCom7-0vnY4HTM-k Tinion Steamdust's Concert]. This marks the first time pyrokynn & Franku musically collaborated with Bite. The instrumental for that interview was also made with Melobytes, just like "abandoned mural."

Still, something felt missing in place of where "[https://youtu.be/4kPzY6376yU?si=hdi0gVgb0Iz5CWfg Cola In The Rain]" was supposed to be. At the time, Bite was already working on what was supposed to be his next project, "[[The Storyteller EP]]," three remakes of random freestyles he once did with nightsparta. The final track, "Storytellah", already had a beat made for it with a full piano outro section. Bite decided to just sacrifice the instrumental he made towards Tinion's Finale, turning it into "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHwLjkHAHzc&list=PLzno6bLKVozz_OK6jAQLppEKDDsbZ_oMM&index=3&pp=gAQBiAQB8AUB Cloak and Dagger]."

The verse written for it was unfortunately hard to perform though. Bite decided he'll give it a moment before trying again, and actually managed to record the published version live on YouTube stream "[https://www.youtube.com/live/LK1mEOCKHZ8?si=4A12kpFQR8O2MGoY Tinion's Finale Release Day]" (36:18) just 2 days before the album officially released, and 30 minutes before the full album was literally previewed. (1:04:56)

All that was left was the most anticipated track of them all. 

Originally created as a nickname for MinionAlex4 by UnwarierOrca in a Discord friends server, "[[Jinnerman]]" evolved into the design of a short wide man with a chicken leg for a head. A few months later Bite was randomly sculpting a grotesque cubical yet realistic man, and decided that should be the [[Jinnerman]] instead. Now that a two hour long album is trying to cram in as much references to [[Tinion Steamdust|Tinion]] lore as possible, making a track about [[Jenon]] for [[New Findings]] only warranted one for this beastly creature too.

It began with a free form idea and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTYuGFOOTGI&list=PLzno6bLKVozydnhsfjCc3Wsz83sRy7NbC&index=7&pp=gAQBiAQB8AUB short instrumental demo] developed with SpringCola. The song was going to be a complete joke and oriented around many different switches throughout, beginning with groovy glitch-hop shenanigans and ending in a horrifying sound collage. Two demos later, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTYuGFOOTGI&list=PLzno6bLKVozydnhsfjCc3Wsz83sRy7NbC&index=7&pp=gAQBiAQB8AUB SpringCola's version] was given up on as the track went into hiatus, with Bite hoping to acquire more skills by the time he's ready to develop it again. There was one instrumental (Ending of Jinnerman Pt.2) but it didn't seem grand or complete enough to be the whole song. More needed to be made. Nearly half a year later, now that practically nothing else was left to complete, he went ahead and tried again.

What came out was [https://youtube.com/shorts/tgg1CmuviDo a loop of a pipe organ with trap drums on top]. So he tried again, and only managed to come through with a percussion line. Two days later, thinking it's time to revert to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTYuGFOOTGI&list=PLzno6bLKVozydnhsfjCc3Wsz83sRy7NbC&index=7&pp=gAQBiAQB8AUB that old demo], Bite attempted it one last time. He laid down the bass guitar line in the beginning, and from that point onwards, the entire song came together in less than two hours total spanning over two days, as seen on [https://www.youtube.com/live/gaZLzPSzVlQ?si=37AZfMC9qGxKu33j this first stream] and [https://www.youtube.com/live/hfRcLvEHSgU?si=DcHcDsDUw7R7hTOU this second one].

With few days left to the release on the album, only minor revisions were done, such as the pre-chorus on "IMPRESSION", or the revised "Cloak and Dagger" vocals. While going over the album, Bite found "ADAM TYPE DISSTRACK" cringy and distasteful with the constant name-dropping and mentions of private information regarding the recipient (something he'd go on to do to someone else regardless). During a visit in HG on an alternative account, Bite noticed TheMadCowboy in a voice chat and decided to join, saying cryptic stuff with a voice changer. The latter saw behind his intentions and told him to quit messing with him, to which Bite responded with a short, honest apology. Following that interaction, Bite was fully convinced it's time to scrap the track, putting "REPLACEMENT" in its place. By that point, Bite began to see past the emotions he displayed throughout the album, and making "REPLACEMENT" did feel quite inauthentic, yet he rolled with it anyways.

The album's release was attempted May 27th 2023 on the [https://www.youtube.com/live/LK1mEOCKHZ8?si=IPP0bpHUyHpiU-xy Tinion's Finale Release Day] stream. Seeing there were zero viewers, Bite stopped it on track 2. The next day, Bite released the album as a full YouTube video as a premiere, which not many attended either. The lack of interest shifted Bite's perspective of the album, and although he was proud of it at the time, he came to see the length may have not been used to its full potential or necessity.

Fast forward to September. Bite wants to, as usual, check old messages one last time. He heads over to HG on an alt, where he sees UnwarierOrca alone in the voicechat. He joins, tells him who he is, and continues with his day. For a good hour, no one is active, and they both think to leave. Out of nowhere, a random, new user joins the voice chat. His name is Sogmeister. (One of) the first thing(s) he does? Recite the fast verse of Rap God perfectly. Bite is stunned... This is someone he needs to collaborate with.

Remember the [https://youtu.be/4vQeRxtQVVQ?si=CCom7-0vnY4HTM-k Tinion Steamdust Concert]? When Bite was going to upload the album to streaming services, he made the realization the entire thing is littered with copyrighted instrumentals from Rockstar Games, Skrillex, dv4d, Bring Me The Horizon and some more. Having just met Sogmeister, he turned to him for a solution, and the two wrote "Life as a Jinion."

Tinion's Finale is an unfortunate album with an unfortunate history and unfortunate backstory behind its unfortunate creation. But all this misfortune was an unavoidable step of mental healing, self discovery and learning musical skills. A musical disappointment that's as necessary to the process of development as it is unnecessary to Bite's discography. Don't listen to it!
