Headcanon that the Riddler's favourite musician is Elgar and he hyperfixated so hard that he would spend years studying music theory so he could solve the mystery behind the Enigma variations.

Variations
Composers have used variations in music for centuries. Renaissance and Baroque composers wrote variations on a short tune in the bass which was repeated again and again. Handel wrote a famous set of variations for harpsichord and Bach wrote his monumental Goldberg Variations.

Musicart profiles (07)
Takt op's official twitter account has periodically releasing the profiles or biodata for the new playable Musicarts. This serves as part 7, and this is the last profiles to be released as the game is on their way to end of service in April 2024.
First person basis is a term on how to address yourself in first person, widely known in Japanese language has so many words to address yourself in first person. I have an explanation on each first person basis used here on a twitter thread !
the Musicarts' ages are still a grey area since they're human-like being but not a human at the same time. I speculated that it was the age when they were first awakened as a Musicart, or the age when their human host loses their conciousness and memory before awakened as a Musicart— similar to Anna's awakening as Destiny. (this is a subject to change)
I also had a compiled twitter thread of this too so go HERE for the thread!

not to compare, but i’m still comparing.
honestly, i’m more obsessed with the idea of giovanni and paul’s father (enigma variations) than with elio and oliver. while i think cmbyn is a masterpiece of writing, i also think giovanni and his sciusciù or even elio and michel (find me) had way more potential as a pairing.

enigma isn't even here yet and they seem like a total G. enigma would lie to cops. enigma would find a way to commit tax fraud in a post-apocalyptic society where they don't even need to pay taxes. enigma would bully children on roblox. top tier

upsides of making wbg ocs: it's a fun and interesting timeline to work things into, there's some really cool concepts going on, it's very easy to find places to fit ocs in
downsides of making wbg ocs: they MAY have to put up with mine. im so sorry.

Being a music nerd and having ADD be like: I'm gonna figure out the counterpoint melody in the Elgar Enigma Variations *sits down and starts listening to it, but then either realizes they have no theory talent or gets too invested in something else and forgets about their goal completely*

Just now remembering:
While I was in the bus, one of my friends (who is VERY lgbtia+) sat down by me and she started talking to me. I hadn't talked to him in a long time so after a bit I brought up my newly aquired trans identity. They were so fucking supportive and xey asked for my new name, something noone has done before irl!
I feel good :)
