shoutout to when we first got a glimpse of Luka and my entire dash was blue for 2 months and everyone characterized him as this cool bad boy type and then we get introduced to him and the more we see him the more he actually just turns out to be this weird music freak who speaks in riddles and is obsessed with reading your aura

#you can tell who keeps up with ml based on how they characterize Luka in fics LMAO #I LOVE HIM THOUGH DO NOT GET ME WRING #moreso actually #but he is a FREAK and I’m tired of pretending he’s not #btw I thought of this while watching whisper of the heart #bc the violin making reminded me of Luka #side note I don’t ship lukanette but those that do… WHERE ARE THE WHISPER OF THE HEART AUS?? #miraculous ladybug #mlb #ml #luka couffaine #mine

look guys i actually did some spirit designs

[ID: the Hargreeves' spirits in the Paranatural au - or at least, the five of them that are kids in this au.

Luther's is an ape that looks like his body from the comics. Diego's is a creature that looks a bit like a small porcupine. Allison's is a large snake with its mouth duct taped shut. Klaus' is a blue raccoon with three eyes and a pink tail, and Viktor's is based off of the White Violin from the comics, except its head transforms into reaching arms. End ID.]

sorry, the ID got REALLY long this time. that's a summary for anyone scrolling, theres a more detailed one under the cut!

[ID: Luther's spirit is labelled First Simian In Space: THE MARTIAN APE. He looks like the ape that supplied Luther's body in the comics, drawn in the paranatural style; blue, with one eye. He is wearing an astronaut helmet and sitting in a coin operated rocket ship that is much too small for it. He has transformed the world around him into a scifi martian landscape; cardboard standups with doors and lockers scribbled on them are the only indication of the real world. Luther is sprawled on the ground staring in shock, while the Martian Ape says "Y'know, you should totally just kill your dad".

Diego's spirit is a very small creature that looks a bit like a porcupine.

Panel 1: Diego holds his spirit in his hands and says, "So, what's your name?". His spirit responds "I am called..."

Panel 2: A caption appears; Projectile Extraordinaire: KRAKEN. The image is in full color, focusing on Kraken, which glowers cutely and shows off her spines.

Panel 3: The same shot as panel one, except Diego now looks very skeptical. He says "..." and then "Why." Kraken responds "It sounded cool."

Allison's spirit is a giant green snake coiled around a tree branch, with a pattern down his back that looks like open mouths.

The first two images are centered on Allison, who is scowling in both. Someone unseen says "It can force people to do things, honey!" and "It's too dangerous to leave you alone with it." and finally, "So we fixed it."

The final image is of the spirit. He is captioned Muzzled Mind Controller: THE RUMOR. His mouth has been duct taped shut. He does not look pleased.

Klaus' spirit is a blue raccoon with dark purple legs and a fluffy striped pink tail. It also has three eyes.

Panel 1: The large colored closeup of Klaus' spirit. It is captioned Mystical Conartist: THE SEANCE.

Panel 2: Klaus asks it "With a name like that, what's your power?" The Seance, its nose just high enough to fit into frame, replies, "Oh, I can sense ghosts"

Panel 3: Klaus looks supremely unimpressed. In the background, a ghost says "Hi" to Allison and Luther, and they say "Oh, hey" back.

Panel 4: Klaus asks, "Seriously?"

Panel 5: The Seance, viewed from above, says "Hey, I can sense them even when they're not visible! Like behind walls and stuff!"

Panel 6: The Seance adds "Also I can float." It is demonstrating, floating about eye level with Klaus and emitting a cloud of cyan spectral energy as it does so. Klaus looks more pleased with this and says "Okay, that one's pretty good."

Viktor's spirit is a Wight, a spirit so warped by rage and pain that it has permanently been changed, its spectral energy has become white, and has gained massive, devastating power. It looks a lot like the design of the White Violin in the comics, but it manifests too many or too few arms from where its head should be.

There are three images of it. In the first, it is kneeling. It has manifested six arms in varying degrees of completeness, and all of them look sad.

In the second, the matter of its head has split into many small pieces that almost look like parts of mouths, save for two clawing hands. It screams, in the Wight spirit language from Paranatural, WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME.

In the third, the largest, its knees buckle as it stands and manifests one reaching hand. It is captioned Violent White: THE WHITE VIOLIN. End ID]

#tua #the umbrella academy #luther hargreeves #diego hargreeves #allison hargreeves #klaus hargreeves #uhhhh... #vanya hargreeves #? #thats definitely not viktor. and its not REALLY vanya either but it IS made to look like her #space boy #the kraken #the rumor #the seance #the white violin #i feel like those are all fair game #some notes in no particular order: #look i did a spirit language from the webcomic! literally the easiest one to make (and read) but still! #its called Wight Wail btw bc Paranatural is mostly puns by weight #omg guys should i do something where delores speaks in Cursed Words? #in order to speak cursed words you have to have killed people but. she deserves it #i accidentally made most of these just An Animal which is super boring of me. so designs might be revisited. but this is where we're at rn! #also after i finished lining almost all of them i wore out my wrist and have been waiting like a week for it to heal enough to draw #i can do most of the heavy lifting of coloring and shading left handed which helped stave off the boredom #but it still hurts and its been a week and i WANT TO BE DONE so i gave up on ever lining klaus' and colored the sketch i had #there was stuff i wanted to fix and change but... well nevermind doing that i guess lol #also hence the typed text instead of handwritten. i would have used the sketch text but that was ACTUALLY illegible #oh yeah also #i discovered on my review of the title cards for the spirits of Paranatural that they have descriptors on top of their names #and paranatural already has a white//wight thing going on with wights having white energy so i was like... lets lean into it.

theres a double bass in my room currently, but i used to play the violin so im a lot more used to having that in my room, and now every time i walk in here it feels like that scene in alice in wonderland where she shrinks and all the furniture appears really large

#when i say 'i used to play the violin' then i mean i tried it for a few years and it was miserable and i sucked at it and i hated it. btw #marly talks

[itlearns]

I just had a little violin practice and that thing definitely took some of my blood along with a lil sanity and a piece of my immortal soul.

I'm telling you guys magnus protocol's violin is just a normal one it's just how they work

#violin #violinist #the magnus protocol #the magnus protocol ep.4 #tmagp spoilers #tmagp #violists are not okay btw

Fuuuuuuuuhhhhccckkkkk I got the most jaw-dropping Lloyd's true form design in my head that would drop you on your knees in awe like you just saw a biblically accurate angel or the God himself but my drawing skills are so ass I could not convey how truly majestic and beautiful it is 😔

#soul's shitrambles #ninjago #lego ninjago #lloyd ninjago #ninjago lloyd #lloyd garmadon #lloyd montgomery garmadon #artist struggles #it's lowkey like a biblically accurate lloyd with oni and dragon features but also more human-like features mixed in there too #while fsm wu and garm would have no human features. only dragoni #also it would have like. 6 arms by default but could actually have more or less arms however he liked #also multiple eyes #the multiple eyes are a must #I am screaming crying kicking so hard rn #also but that one sonne edit audio that has violins and stuff playing to help with what I mean btw

So OG Sans can play the trombone, Underfell! Sans plays a trumpet according to his creator. Do you think any of the other au skeletons play instruments? Part of me wants Swap! Papyrus to play the drums solely so he can make the ba dum tss sound. Other other half of me wants to give him an electric keyboard that is always set to the silly sound effects setting like duck quacks and dogs barking.

Ooooo that's a good question!!! 👀!!!!!!! I have many many thoughts on this and have settled on exactly 0 of them!! (I have multiple opposing headcanons and simply pick and choose whatever I think is funniest/most interesting for the situation)

ONE of them is "all the Sanses play brass wind instruments, and all the Papyri play percussion or strings" (One of the bits in the Papyrus QnA also reinforced this for me)

I love love love the idea of Swap!Pap playing drums!! He also strikes me as a guitar guy tbh (*pointedly looks away from the Bard in Flipping Fate*) I feel like he's also the most likely to own a kazoo or a ukelele though. Maybe even an omatone.

... Funny you mention using a keyboard for silly sounds! In a deleted scene from EOVD, Swapfell!Papyrus has a soundboard lmao. I can also see him playing a cello or bass... (or at least, for the way I write him.) Speaking of the way I write him- I've also made reference to him being a trombone player for a one off gag lol. Bwuuu.

In the same vein of "things I've written about/gestured at before", but I don't think classic Pap ever settles on an instrument. He tries out a bunch but never ends up playing one more than any other. So in a way I can see him with any and all instruments lol.

If sticking by the Sans=Brass rule, I feel like Swap!Sans and Swapfell!Sans would have either a saxophone (more like saxobone) or a tuba. Either combination works in my mind. If not sticking by that rule, I could see Swapfell!Sans playing a string instrument maybe? Or a clarinet lol. Swap!Sans also strikes me as a trumpet guy, if you don't mind overlaps.

Underfell!Papyrus ... I like to think he plays piano :] In contrast to the existing discussions about where the piano falls on the scale between percussion and strings; any instrument is a percussion instrument if you hit it hard enough.

Additionally. I think he was taught to play piano by UF!dyne and you can pry this headcanon from my cold dead hands !!!!!!!

Also as a bonus, I think Horror!Pap would play the harp. No particular reason, I just like the visual of it lol. Horror!Sans probably just... stopped playing his trombone, and after getting his head injury either picks it up again or resorts to humming/tapping along instead because fine motor control is harder for him :p

#since my swapfell interpretations are a blend of all of the ones i've seen; here are some hcs for some other popular SF/FS interpretations: #mutt - electric guitar because i think thats cool #coffee - keyboard!!! or flute... #razz - i think it'd be really funny if he played the triangle and was like. REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT IT. DON'T LAUGH- he WILL stab you. #wine - violin! #cash - kazoo for *sure* #FOR SOME REASON TUMBLR WONT LET ME EDIT THIS ON MOBILE? #velwy.txt #anon #inbox #oh this reminds me i had a shitpost i was drawing relating to the skeletons and instruments lol #TY FOR YOUR PATIENCE BTW <333 #mindmortar

The Wreckers - Neil Gaiman

#just logged in to drop this here #it's a song from signs of life album by gaiman and fourplay string quartet #didn't expect it to have anything that matched my taste. wanted to listen through some songs out of curiosity anyway #and i got hooked on this one #like i don't even listen to -what genre is this- classical music? #but the music? #the violin? #the grief? #the poem? #gave me shivers #after a short story and two books I'm just realising im into his writing #neil gaiman #signs of life #the wreckers #neil gaiman poem #fourplay string quartet #btw i read he'd written this for a friend who'd been going through a series of miscarriages #but the feeling of being unable to do anything about the pain you're going through is the same #poetry

abt to go to the royal concertgebouw for the second time in a week like the bourgeois i am apparently

#to be fair i hadn't planned to go saturday but my rowing comp was cancelled #and then i saw they were performing tchaikovsky's first piano concerto and mussorgsky's pictures at an exhibition #and it was a couple hours before the performance so they were selling the last tickets for 17.50 to people >30 y/o #FIRST ROW on the balcony for 17.50. those would've cost what nearing a 100 otherwise? #tonight's tickets i bought in advance for 50 tho bc kavakos is doing tschaikovky's first violin concerto #AND their doing tchaikovsky's 5th so you know once in a lifetime experience etc #curry rambles #the piano concerto was fine but pictures at an exhibition was PHENOMENAL btw #they're*

[skateironicallycantskate]

the thing about orchestra is that the music is so pretty and relaxing and makes you want to fall asleep but you CAN’T. BECAUSE YOU’RE THE MUSICIAN

#the amount of times I have almost fallen asleep during orchestra. and I’m first chair too #not during concerts though. too anxious for that #text post #orchestra #violin #violinist #school stories #btw when I say almost fall asleep. I mean having trouble keeping my eyes open. no I am not napping in the middle of a song

[your-local-granny]

'i became his first friend. 3 months later i stopped playing' LIKE YEAH #its so hard when you're put in direct competition with the only people you see on a regular basis <333 #the special mind game that is trying to have normal friendships when everyone wants the same thing and only one of you can get it <33333 #okay sorry im normal. #this was about given btw #an anime that actually isnt about classical music at all but they talked about it for more than 2 minutes and it made me want to chew my ar #-off #ALSO. i recognized one of the violin pieces im so proud of myself <3333 it was like top 10 most famous violin concertos but still!!! #portal of rambling
