#better off music

[beggars-opera]

The fact that the Boston transit system has been a garbage fire for so long that our mascot is a sad little man who is literally stranded on the train until the end of time due to a fare increase. Charlie's desiccated corpse has been riding this train since the 1940s and everyone just sort of rolls with it it this point

#boston #history #music #I also love that the songs ends with Charlie's wife throwing a sandwich through the window every day #instead of the train fare #because she was probably better off single

I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :

-

(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )

#tumblr polls #hrmm... a little poll perhaps.. about a subject I find interesting.. since this image came across my facebook today #still really not feeling that well. no longer shaking violently and such but I still feel weird and weak much more than usual #They did say my markers for like infection or inflammation were elevated but that they werent sure of the cause so hopefully #it's nothing too serious. they did also say a lot of different things can cause that thing to be higher than normal but didn't go into spec #fics of what. maybe some of them are relatively benign or something. I still havent felt much back to normal since #I got really sick that one time though. I feel fine on and off but then little bouts of feeling weird and sick happen. hrmmm #ANYWAY.. looking for small ways to be productive. such as little doodles on evil ipad or editing game videos #or posting polls or cat pictures or some other like not very labor intensive things #I WISH I COULD FOCUS on writing HHRGGhh... I need to finish my game.. it would be so freeing.. a project that's been looming #over my head for like 5 years even though througouht that 5yrs I've probably spent a total of 3 months working on it lo.. ANYWAY #I still partially really cannot beleive that people CAN see stuff in their heads. There's always part of me that's thinking like. well mayb #e everyone DOES see the same exact thing but we just describe/conceptualize it so differently that we think we're talking about #different things when we're really not. But I have been assured by people I've talked to about it that they can GENUINELY really see #stuff in their heads like as vivid as an actual picture in real life or something. And the other senses are neat too. Like for exmaple I #can hear in my head much better than I can see imagery. I still CANNOT hear vividly like as if I were listening to actual music out loud.. #but I think it's developed more than my sight. AND interesting how this varies the creative process. a friend I was talking to on the phone #said they write by literally just watching stuff play before them like a movie. where my process is COMPLETELY different. AND that affects #the content/what details we focus on as well as our individual styles of writing have differences that can be traced back to that.. hrmm

yall cling to duke as "the normal one" like your lives fucking depend on it. like why go to such lengths to ignore everything incredible abt him canonically in favor of kicking him to the side bcs you headcanon him as boring. like do you understand how not quirky cute and progressive yall sound. You would never do that to your faves and frankly I think some of you are just afraid that he might just be more interesting that whatever made up version of your favorite batboy you have in your mind

#instead of learning anything abt his past his trauma his personality or interests you can show off your 'im not racist!' badge bcs #in all your kindness you went outta your way to include half a sentence abt dukes favorite ice cream being the normal kind or his #favorite music being the normal type and none of yall better start on that 'he pretends to be normal! or hes just normal incomparison to his #badass more interesting more developed siblings!!' like go fuck off #the signal #duke thomas #dc comics #batfam #batfamily #tim drake #jason todd #dick grayson #bruce wayne #< and no im not gnna apologize 4 main tagging bcs the amount of posts in the duke tag that have absolutely nothing to do w him #yeah yall r gnna have to cope #thought bubbles

there are literally so many reasons why we don't need a third Narnia adaptation

first of all, while they might not be the most accurate, the Disney movies are actually so good and, in my opinion, still manage to capture the heart and soul of the series and what it's truly about. The characters are each perfectly portrayed; the Pevensies act like actual siblings and yet love each other dearly and would die for each other even through all the petty arguments; the music creates perfect atmosphere and emotion and never fails to make me tear up or get shivers down my spine; and the CGI is honestly just absolutely stunning.

I really do not feel like we need another adaptation by Netflix.

Especially not through Netflix.

Netflix has already been known to mess up so many shows and movies by completely changing the source material or adding in unnecessary things that completely take away from the purpose of the story. I can already see them warping Narnia into something that barely even resembles the books, that strips it of its purpose and simply makes it about a fantasy world, nothing more. I've already seen posts saying that the new movies just can't end the way the books end, that heaven must be explained away, that Susan never forgets and falls down a dark path, that the faith aspect must be taken out so as not to offend new viewers.

Here's the thing.

If you take faith out of Narnia, you remove the very heart of the series. you remove the entire purpose. Because Narnia is entirely about faith, and trust, and Someone greater than yourself who sacrifices everything to save your own traitorous soul. the Disney movies did not shy away from portraying this faith as openly as possible. if anyone was offended, I've never seen proof. I have seen many nonbelievers talk about how much they were affected by Aslan's death, which goes to show that you simply don't have to be Christian to understand what Narnia is about, and to love and enjoy it.

So if these new remakes remove the faith aspect, then what is the point? four siblings go to a magical land and save it from a witch and befriend a talking lion with nothing special about him and live there as kings and queens and return home and live happily ever after? there is no sacrifice, there is no "he's not tame, but he is good," there is no creation, there is no redemption, there is no last battle, there is no "in your world, I have another name", there is no sister straying down a dark path because she has forgotten how to hope, and then returning because her story is unfinished and the road to heaven is paved with flowers that symbolize her name.

so then, what are you left with? Aslan is just a talking lion, nothing more. the stone table never cracks, the sun never rises. "That by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there" is forgotten entirely, because why would Aslan exist in our world if he is merely a talking lion in Narnia? Aslan's country is changed to be something else, and there is nothing about how Aslan suddenly no longer looks like a lion, and how the things that happened after are more great and beautiful than can be described. Edmund's life is never threatened because of his traitorous deeds; Aslan never offers his own life in place of a guilty boy, is never killed, is never resurrected.

the very core of Narnia is removed, and what you are left with is emptiness.

sure, it might make for a good fantasy story nonetheless. you might still have sweeping views and epic music and an intriguing plotline, but something will always feel like it is missing. like there is an empty hole, desperately needing to be filled.

of course, I don't know that all of that will happen; it's just speculation at this point. But I am fairly sure that it is safe to predict these upcoming movies as such. I highly doubt the producers will want to include the faith that shapes Narnia, because according to them, having a faith aspect means less viewers since too many people would be offended.

but if only they would look at the already wonderful existing adaptations, they would know that is simply not the case.

#i can already see cs lewis turning in his grave #this really just feels like another tired live action remake tbh #netflix keep ur shabby hands off of my beloveds or i will beat u with a broom #ANYWAY I AM ALSO TERRIFIED OF WHO IS GOING TO PLAY THE PEVENSIES #SKANDAR AND WILLIAM AND GEORGIE AND ANNA WERE ALREADY PERFECT PLS LEAVE MY CHILDREN ALONE #also so help me if people like these new movies better #when the disney ones are perfection imo even tho they're not fully accurate #and i would like to see them try to beat the music. i would like to see them try. #narnia netflix #netflix narnia #narnia #the chronicles of narnia #aslan #susan pevensie #lucy pevensie #edmund pevensie #peter pevensie #cs lewis #ramblings from the void

good omens as a song i wrote when i was 14...

Hello sweet maggots, it's the Official Good Omens Mascot. So I write music, and I just found a song I'd written when I was 14 about my then-crush. He did not deserve it and was really quite horrible, but I looked at it now and it gives a lot of Crowley to Aziraphale vibes? Don't mind the quality, I was fourteen and wrote it in an hour, I swear I do better now. A lot of it may sound silly. But have it here:

[stanza 1]

I lay my cheek on soft worn cloth

I lay my head against a shoulder

I smile at the moonlight and the lapping lake

Breathe a familiar smell, and am emboldened

[pre-chorus]

For here can I hurt nobody

Now well known features I study

In my dreams, in my dreams

[chorus]

For here I am safe, and so are you

Both of us are safe like we've never been

Here things just... happen which we can never do

You and I are safe from you and me

In my dreams, in my dreams

[stanza 2]

Broken glass litters the sand

But our feet rest on sweet smooth stone

Warm, as is your hand, holding mine

Rough and steady, I'm not alone

[bridge]

Moonlight dims in front of your smile

Your voice and the gentle waves are one

Angel's wings glow serene in the night

You are my family, you are enough

We're in my dreams

We're in your dreams, Angel.

Yeah. This song was called Angel.

These are the exact lyrics I wrote in 2018. With reference to soft worn cloth, I was actually talking about tartan there, which is now creeping me out. And the familiar smell… doesn't Crowley say he knows Aziraphale's smell?

i started this post without reading through all the lyrics, I just remembered that I'd called it Angel. Now that I've typed it, I'm actually... wow okay. Here can I hurt nobody, here I am safe and so are you... The whole chorus is literally the same as how they can't be together if they want to keep each other safe and how their own love is endangering them (you and I are safe from you and me) and it's only in their dreams that they can be together and still be safe.

I don't think I need to say anything about how the Angel's wings part fits Good Omens.

I know you guys joked about me being the Good Omens Prophet and all, but... I'm... what is this. @neil-gaiman sir I'm going to need an explanation for this, thank you.

Actually, maybe there is no explanation. The whole thing really is... ineffable.

Lloyd’s the kind of person to be completely silent while everyone is horribly singing Bohemian Rhapsody only to belt out the line “I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all” in perfect pitch and then fall dead silent again as he went back to like, reading a book or something. send post

#ninjago #lego ninjago #lloyd garmadon #bohemian rhapsody #i sometimes wish id never been born at all #headcanons #ideas #jokes #text post #speaking #for the record lloyd the kinda person to be silent as in he protests to everyone he cant sing #or he just doesnt wanna sing so hes just fending them off as they sing #then the line comes and hes like a sleeper agent and sings the line like hes done so a hundred other times #then laugh and brush it off and go back to not singing again #and for the OTHER record #the other ninja are not exempt from this. all of them sing that line like their lives depend on it #except for zane because my boy does not sing unless he has downloaded content <3 hes the one playing the music but he vibes w it #lloyds just the one who has it down like an ART #lloyd also sings 'you shouldve raised a baby girl i shouldve been a better son' from mcr #because he is trans. 2 me. kai also sings out that part with just as much passion. they are shaking hands #and also lloyd was just an mcr kid change my mind

There is nothing so strong as the bond between Starkid performers and the live audience at any of their shows.

#starkid concerts aren't always the most polished and slick shows but they are definitively the best to go to #the warmth joy enthusiasm and good humor of a starkid show is like impossible to describe if you haven't experienced it #and I've been to a lot of other shows and concerts and fandom events and nothing is quite like what happens with Starkid #(both with the musicals themselves and the concerts/tours) #the starkids themselves are such incredible performers #and the audiences are always just having the best time in an almost radically joyful way #and every one just feeds off each others' energy and make each other better #anyways watching Starkid Innit videos and loving them

rick riordan dickriders on here will be like "why are you complaining about the pjo tv show, go watch the movies and see what a bad adaptation really looks like" ok well listen to the musical watch it on youtube and see what a good adaptation looks like bitch. it can be done. as a fucking stage musical. what did that 15 million per episode do for disney that chris mccarell couldn't

#this is such a mean post from someone who does genuinely like the show I'm sorry #like there are aspects I really love!! and aspects I really don't!! which makes it mid for me #but I do genuinely like it overall. at least enough to continue watching #it's just that I see sooooo many people who seem to have this attitude like you can't critique it at all?? #and their arguments are usually just. “movies were worse” (so we'll take anything now as long as it's not that?) #or “rick was involved in the writing” (<- NOTTT guaranteed to be a good thing lmao) #anyway it's pissing me off. I'm gonna bitch. “if you like the books so much read the books” I WAS PROMISED A BOOK ADAPTATION #AM I WRONG FOR COMPLAINING WHEN I DON'T GET WHAT I WAS PROMISED #“oh but changes are okay as long as it preserves the spirit of the books” since when was the *spirit* of the books a FUCKING BORE🤨 #also the cast doesn't deserve this. stick leah and aryan and walker in a better show #pjo #pjo tv show #pjo disney+ #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #the lightning thief musical #anyway all this to say some of the changes and choices are Actually Bad and it won't kill you to admit that I think #rereading this post in the drafts and editing before posting when I was handwringing about how mean it was bitch this is mild

Okay, I gotta know. If ToP Link were to find himself in Linked Universe, what nickname would he get? (Or the Dad Squad Minus The Dads?)

And if ToP Ganondorf were to likewise find his way onto the Dad Squad/Strangers Across Time (if you've seen those), exactly how many nanoseconds do you think it would take for characters like Impa to try & kill the guy without an explanation just for his name & face?

Oh that's a good one! The most outstanding thing about his quest was the Ghost Rope honestly, so... "Ghost"? But honestly he'd probably wind up with something really lame and nondescript, like "Ears."

I searched for Strangers Across Time but couldn't find it! If someone knows, please send a link! :)

But in general, it depends on if Gan has any of the triforce of power at that point. If he has some of it, he'd last a while. If not... yeah he's doomed.

#he thinks he's all that but #not really #he's the guy who comes to karaoke thinking he has the voice of arijit singh #but no he's only marginally better than lloyd fontera #if anyone else knows both arijit singh and lloyd fontera's musical abilities off the top of their heads that'd be a miracle

I reorganized my room and there are finally some corners that give some aesthetic vibes. My goal for the rest of the summer is to be well prepared for the next school year in terms of time management and academically (or rather, musically). Today I successfully got up early and had a good practice session, but I could have practiced more had I prepared food in advance.
