#damn them for having good music

[weallpartyatybcpatricksfuneral]

ngl smile for the paparazzi is a genius song and I'm tired of pretending that cobra starship wasn't a genius band at times

#like i am 100 percent serious here #the way they commented on celebrity culture + scene culture was insane #because they put that satire under a layer of legitimate pop music #like smile for the paparazzi is on the same album as like. kiss my sass. #youre not in on the joke is on the same album as good girls go bad + hot mess #which i feel like is a commentary in itself of #you only know them by their hits (the pop hits that genuinely sound like any other scene pop song) #but hiding right under the surface of that is their true message and intent (celebrity culture is evil genuinely and ruins people) #ngl titling their first album while the city sleeps we rule the streets AND THEN having the opener of their second album commentate #on the dangers of the city nightlife for celebrities is insane actually #give them more credit please damn #cobra starship #gabe saporta

Listening to instrumentals from the silly doo-wee-ooo show is actually something that can be so painful.

#doctor who #doctor who music #murray gold #segun akinola #musings about music #this is specifically about 10's theme in vale decem. the long song in 11's regen piece. and clara's theme in face the raven / clara's diner #i get psychic damage everytime i simply hear the use of the motifs elsewhere because of the tragic associations those sadder renditions hav #obviously these songs aren't the only examples in doctor who but they are by far the most emotionally devastating ones for me personally #and obviously it isn't just leitmotifs either. basically hearing any piece that played during a sad scene gets to me. #how are you supposed to explain to your coworkers that you're tearing up because of instrumental sound association? #'yeah sorry these violins and humming sounds summoned vivid images of my favourite character dying/leaving and it made me sad' #love that composers can just straight up pavlov bell your emotions by getting you to associate a melody with a sad scene #an addition to this is doctor who instrumentals that make me nostalgic because I associate them with my own past #like 'this is gallifrey: our childhood. our home'. that song was one of my alarms for a good long while back when i was 15ish #so it kinda transports me back to that time in my life whenever i hear it. music really is its own little kind of time travel #i am very much looking forward to the continuing psychological damage murray gold will inflict upon me in the new season #and to have previously uplifting character leitmotifs used against me and forever be contaminated with sad feelings. love to see it #(also: not a instrumental but damn 'the stowaway' has no right being as good as it is. who knew a christmas sea shanty could sound so great #apologies for this probably niche-ish post (is it niche to know ost title's by heart? asking for friend). just feeling things about music

Still not over how jort storm is a legitimately good song

#yes it's goofy #but it's like. actually legitimately good. #both the music and singing are genuinely good #and the lyrics have thought behind them #idk i just remember it every now and again and I'm always like “damn he really just did that” #fern rambles #fernless rants

Yuu apparently is great at the bugle. Manifesting Musically talented Yuu. Both great with a flute and a bugle.

So interestingly, it can go either way: if you click the option where Yuu essentially says, "Oh I'm not confident..." they won't sound good. But if you click that they're good at music, then Yuu will play the bugle well.

It's intriguing that the few times we see Yuu's talents is when it's with music OwO so the flute and bugle, notably they're instruments involving the mouth. Some people have pointed out the connection between Yuu's musical talent and the twistunes, which makes me go 👁👄👁 damn it would have been cool if all twistunes involved a woodwind/brass instrument. Maybe we might see other instruments that Yuu may or may not be good at in the future though. 👀

#twst #twisted wonderland #twst jp #twst spoilers #ask #really really trying to have the braincells for this particular theory ngl #like like DAMN i suddenly want to go back to every twistune but also ik a good amt of them are synthesized ?? #i want to think that if yuu knows enough instruments they'd be able to have the ear to help people play harmoniously in a band #which is code for Helping Villains Work Together #generally this theme of music and symbolism of music as teamwork is smth that twst lowkey kinda touches on #i.e. octavinelle and their middle school band and note too that their teamwork in general is so mhm #that's why they can do the things that they do now #which then puts something like malleus and his talent for the stringed instruments to a different perspective now #cause he can Play. but he has No One to play with #he could be a soloist Sure but we are currently seeing how that is turning out for him (see: book 7 #all the more that his main instrument is the cello which has solo pieces but generally it's used to accompany and give rhythm in a band #or string quartet

breaking news: surprising absolutely no one, pik has fallen in love with the fast paced fps game where the big, silent badass of a main character's sole goal is to protect the small, squishy innocents.

#lines i did #roboquest #i love this game its great #the writing is so goofy and i cant quite tell if its intentional or of its bc they dont have an actual writer on their team but eith #either way its simple and silly and i love it #not to mention its very vague and leaves plenty of space for potential worldbuilding... #and the animations range from wonderfully clean and snappy; like the reload animations for each weapon and the enemies movement animations #to 'lets just obscure the boss under esplosion textures and lower it under the floor so we dont actually have to animate it exploding' and #its still hilarious to watch every time #music is DAMN GOOD #gameplay is comparable to modern doom #a little rougher around the edges but hey its an indie studio not a triple a and theyre still working on it #npc designs are DELIGHTFUL. why does the robot wear a fake mustach. why does the robot with a single optic wear a normal pair of goggles. #they have so much character despite none of them uttering a single word ever #except for max i guess; she has dialogue. but shes also Literally The Only Human In The Game so like. she gets a pass. #anyway more of my mutuals should buy it so we can co-op it together. #(mutuals if u buy it let me know id be 100% down to co-op it with u)

Okay so Twinkle Kuuchuusen is AMAZING (as expected and I will try to gather my thoughts about it later), but THE SOLOS OH MY GOD THE SOLOS AND THE LYRICS I'M!!!

They both reference 2x2 a lot, and you can see their development so much from their previous solos! There's a big theme of acceptance and both and they're driving me crazy with it!

Hinata's '"street" being bathed in blue and how he accepts it as a part of himself before declaring he's going to light it up with colors because he'll love himself even more!!! The way he doesn't try to gloss over the negative but decides he'll stick to his positive worldview while taking everything in stride! How he knows now that no matter how far they drift their hearts will always reconnect!

And Yuta walking the line between two worlds confidently, not looking back into the shadow of days past and pushing ahead into the unknown! Going all out and no longer suppressing his feelings, engraving them into his heart and making bold decisions as himself! The way he connects their worldviews with their differing light, knowing someone will always be at his back no matter what!

If there was ever any doubt within me about the future of 2wink, I feel like these solos resolved it. They really have come to a temporary truce and peace with each other, they'll stay together while continuing to push and compete in their separate ways. These songs feel like letters to each other almost, about how they're able to move forward with their own worldviews without shame, but will always hold the other close. And even if they do come to that breaking point in the future, after the dust has settled, they'll still be there watching the night sky - in a much better place than where they started.

#i have so much i could say here on god #my breath literally caught when hinata sang “I'll love myself even more” like PLEASE DO YOU DESERVE SO MUCH I'M SO PROUD OF YOU #i am so pleased with the direction they took yutas in it captures his new personality and motivation with the way he still cares so well #2wink climax was amazing but it also scared and emotionally broke me so i am so happy that the solos are what i hoped #people debate !! era writing which is reasonable but god. !! era 2wink has NEVER missed honestly they did them so well #hinata and yuta being so underrated always baffles me bc my valkaloidp ass is always so ready to dissect and appreciate them #2-3rd fav unit they are so good i need the fandom to appreciate them more please #my ohshc manga hitachiin roots may be showing here but damn it a well-done codependency-breaking sibling arc will always get me #enstars #ensemble stars #ensemble stars music #enstars solos #2wink #hinata aoi #yuta aoi #yuuta aoi #raelyn rambles

I only watched the first four episodes of season four and have only the vaguest notion of what happens in the rest of it. And I've been told that I misread what was going on and that that's not where the plot was going. But.

I cannot get over the wasted potential of not having Vecna's Curse target, specifically, people who feel guilt over being responsible for another person's death. (Even though they're not, actually, responsible.)

Like. Apparently what was going on with Chrissy was an eating disorder. I misread the coding on that hard in the early episodes, and thought that she'd recently been to Chicago to see Jane. And if she had...apparently Jason was also super religious? If Chrissy had had an abortion, because they'd been having sex, then that makes a whole thematic reinforcement to his hypocrisy and whatever half-baked point the show sort of made gestures at making about the Satanic Panic.

Then there's Fred and his friend. Whatsisface in Pennhurst, the older Creel, and the baby in the house he ordered the bombing on. Max and Billy. Nancy and Barb. (Hell, Steve and Barb if you really want to play to your audience.) You could even use that to tie in the adults' storyline - we haven't heard about Hopper's guilt over Sara in a minute!

And all of that would dovetail nicely into motive. Because apparently "Vecna" is, in fact, Henry Creel, is in fact Experiment 001? Who [something something something] psychic powers [something something] horrific child abuse [something something something] massacre at the Hawkins lab [something something] Always Chaotic Axe-Crazy?

But it would make so much sense for a child who'd been ripped from his family, survived awful mistreatment in the name of the greater good, and been witness to the deaths of other kids just like him due to the actions of people who didn't seem to care, who didn't seem to see it as their fault, to be lashing out at anybody he perceived to be like those people.

It would have made sense. It would have been a reason. It would have drawn a throughline from the Big Bad's motivation through to Our Heroes and their actions. It would have given them so much room to work with consequences of the earlier seasons coming back to bite Our Heroes, and could have gone in some really good directions about exploring survivor's guilt and whether these characters really were responsible for any of the deaths they take as their responsibility. And also about institutional hurt and how sometimes, people who have no other option and no way to reach the people who actually hurt them will just aim their pain at anyone in reach, anyone who looks enough like the person who hurt them if you squint and hold your tongue just right, and how, to make actual change against the systems that hurt people, we all need to keep in mind who the real enemy is. It could have been so good.

#stranger things #i have been working on former heroes and I have. thoughts. #but for any of that to have happened the duffers would need to a) give half a damn about characterisation #and b) stop believing the only categories of person in the world are 'bully' and 'victim' #and that the only way to stop being one is to become the other #i am also still frothing at the mouth about the fact that they apparently. made the Big Bad's weakness music. #put in a new character who is LEAD GUITARIST in a BAND #put him into MOST OF THE EPISODES in an IMPORTANT PLOT-RELEVANT ROLE #and then NEVER. HAD. HIM HAVE TO PLAY SOMEBODY'S SONG. ON THE GUITAR. TO SAVE THEM FROM THE BIG BAD. #WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY *DOING* FOR THOSE TWO YEARS OF MANDATORY SHUTDOWN #BECAUSE IT WASN'T 'SCRIPT REVISION' LIKE THEY CLAIMED #how did fucking SUPERNATURAL handle this better!??!?!? #okay. i'm okay. i'm good.

I’ve been like. Gently reconnecting with music I listened to during my emo teen years lately (which I used to call cringe based on nothing other than that I listened to it when I was 14, don’t be like me) and uh.

Maybe it’s not the right “genre” or whatever for her (haven’t made up my mind on which music genres could actually fit Aki tbh) but “Somewhere I belong” by Linkin Park is such a season 1 Aki song. Like, fight me if you wanna, but…

“I wanna heal

I wanna feel

Like I’m close to something real

I wanna let go of the pain I’ve held so long

(Erase all the pain ‘til it’s gone)

I wanna heal

I wanna feel

What I thought was never real

I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along:

Somewhere I belong”

Like.

“I will never know

Myself until I do this on my own

And I will never feel

Anything else until my wounds are healed

I will never be

Anything ‘til I break away from me

And I will break away

I’ll find myself today”

LIKE.

“I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m

Somewhere I belong

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m

Somewhere I belong”

Literally insane.

#yugioh 5ds #aki izayoi #akiza izinski #like yeah it’s intense and emo. #but consider this: aki is /herself/ literally intense and emo in season 1. #and the lyrics just drive me insane #this is an aki song now sorry #also don’t listen to this if you’re not into hard rock #meteora days linkin park wasn’t fucking around #and their music is so damn good #anyway weird crossover maybe? #but I’m here to express Opinions and boy do I have them #orchid rambles

Is it lost media or is it stuck in japan only CDs that no one has bought and ripped yet? Like was it ever put on CDs at all...? I don't know yet, but I have seen that actually, there are a Lot of BGM music CDs for keroro that I couldn't find ripped online but are being sold... @mountainfrogs

#Here is what i will say about this: i have bought the first CD for the other drama cd that no one has ripped yet and i plan to rip it. #so i am doing my part #maybe in some years when i make another japan purchase i will look more into the bgm music CDs to get some. the problem is that #the eng wiki for keroro stuff is actually genuinely barebones #like i have no idea where to get information for what exists out there lol #ive also gotten one issue of that samurai story. and one 4koma issue. i plan to scan them in due time #if they get to me safely... #i couldnt get more bc it costs damn money. you know how much the full drama cd set was? 50 euro. no way #but idk maybe these songs they just never ripped at all because theyre not on Spotify either. i truly don't know at this time #there were no keroroland issues at good prices or i wouldve gotten some. my bad

"I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable asking, Emily," June said gently, as she pushed her dinner around her plate (a part of her could hear her father admonishing her for it, but truthfully, she was much too nervous to think about eating), adding, "I just...well, it's like you said, you don't feel like you're over a hundred years old and, well...you certainly don't come across that way."

That night that she and Wilhelm kicked Emily out of the house (a night she continued to regret), her perception of the young woman had changed, going from a sweet, soft-spoken young lady her son was smitten with, to a manipulative monster looking to sink her teeth into Randall's soft flesh, and that image stayed with her long after that night...

...but now, in the gentle light of the kitchen, looking at her now, that familiar visage of a good-natured, gentle-hearted woman returned, though more tinged with melancholy, for reasons June now understood, and was sympathetic towards. She saw not a monster, but a very lonely soul, in need of love.

"Well, uh," Wilhelm commented, similarly eating little (despite his usually strong appetite, it was, like his wife's, waning this evening) as he took a stab at humor, joking lightly, "You look pretty good for a centenarian, lass!"

#((oh absolutely! i like his style; i like that he's a horror fan; enough to name his band 'white zombie')) #((after the bela lugosi movie of the same name; and i enjoy some of his music)) #((like 'living dead girl' which was on the 'bride of chucky' soundtrack as part of tiffany's introduction)) #((but...his movies are oftentimes just too nihilistic and mean-spirited for their own good!)) #((and you're right; baby and otis are some of the most reprehensible and irredeemable out of the fireflies)) #((and so it makes it really hard to root for them-honestly 'the devil's rejects' was a pretty damn good ending)) #((to the firefly family; going out in a hail of bullets; and had it just been left as a duology with 'house of 1000 corpses')) #((i probably would've been fine with that; but still; rob zombie's movies are just a little too bleak for me!)) #((i think in terms of the firefly trilogy; he took a lot of cues from 'texas chainsaw massacre')) #((and the sawyer clan; but like you said; the firefly family and their brutality puts ol' bubba and co. to shame!)) #((i'm sure that's why he cast bill moseley; who was chop top in 'tcm 2' as otis)) #((but while chop top was kinda funny in a very deranged way; otis doesn't have any of that)) #((and i think rob could learn to include a little more levity into his films; to at least take the edge off a little!)) #outofhatboxes #beatingheart-bride #V:Dark Shadows

I honestly need to write the Gabriel blows up @ Miguel fic. Truly, write the content u wish to see in the world kind of shit.

#I NEED IT. I NEED IT LIKE AIR. #I want Gabriel to just finally FINALLY fucking explode at Miguel and take him to town on how badly he’s hurt him #how fucked up it was that miguel has never EVER apologised and has just let sleeping dogs lie #rather than confront the pain buried between them #how much the snarky caustic attitude actually hurts. #because like god. these two need to learn that you can fight. that you can hash out this pain and STILL choose to love each other #that anger doesn’t make you your abusive father #that it’s GOOD to stand up for yourself. that crawling after love is only going to make you feel like shit and resent other people for never #knowing about how you feel #and Miguel like. miguel needs to finally pull up the big boy pants and face the MUSIC on this one. like he LOVES Gabriel he feels guilt over #the fact he’s hurt him. but ultimately it means so very little unless you buck the fuck up and have the hard conversations #always easier said than done. but so damn important to do regardless #tunes talks 2099
