#idk something about the guitar.

time to settle this once and for all

Video with all versions, for reference:

[milfygerard]

but fr outside of my contracted madness i absolutely refuse to give joe alwyn gold rush like how is that song at all related to their relationship the lyrics clearly spell out a relationship that either never existed or only existed in implication and fantasies and maybe-maybe nots and its so bitter and yet desperately soft in the bridge where it almost projects a sense of envy, of wanting to be them as much as you want them. It continues an interesting oft ignored lyrical trend of taylor wanting just as much to be her lover as to have them, envying their easy charisma (you were flush with the currency of cool/i was always turning out my pockets) or quiet dignity (your integrity makes me seem small) dating back to her earliest songs (the kind of flawless i wish i could be). Theres a projected self hatred and yearning to be better that twists itself into both romantic and sexual lust for her partners thats so fascinating and speaks to how all of her songs regardless of who theyre about are also an act of self reflection on who she is and who she wishes to be.

#barry.txt #taylor swift #putting this in the tags as a form of self protection but make no mistake this is a gay thing to do especially in gold rush #which through simple context clues is Obviously About A Woman or maybe even women in general #whivh is a totally seperate post on how taylor constructs and uses gender identity in her music #her girlhood and femininity are earnest but also so carefully constructed and so high effort and kind of desperate #shes a deeply self concious and obsessive person who never looks comfortable in anything ever unless shes #onstage or like. by herself in loose jeans and a tshirt #i think thats one of the things that subconsciously irritate ppl when it comes to her shes constantly and clearly putting in effort #to appear As The Celebrity Taylor Swift and struggles not to self censor or overperform in interviews (when she gives them) #especially present in pre 1989 interviews where the interviewers really didnt have to respect her or worry abt how they frame her #if they didnt want to. Like the fearless era rolling stone interview where she almost has a meltdown over her mom buying eggnog instead of #milk. That whole interview is strange looking back not just bc of the weird misogyny but also because of what it does share #taylor is....weird. She has a strange and desperate vibe and always reacts slightly too much and uses slang poorly #shes media trained and has learned how to socialize but you can feel her discomfort whenever she doesnt have a guitar in her hand #idk these tags have once again gotten so unweildy. i just find it interesting that she finally feels some level of comfortable #in sharing that construction w us in songs like mirrorball and mastermind and imo gold rush #and scene #should i write this up and put it in the swiftieism zine #i should write something and put it in the swiftieism zine

since i’d already played the original trilogy approximately seven million times in french, i finally got round to playing french apollo justice instead. just finished it and hoooo boy was this localisation just as interesting

just like in the og trilogy, the entire thing now takes place in france (presumably paris, though they didn’t specify in this one). at least there aren’t earthquakes this time so it doesn’t feel quite as surreal.

apollo’s “i’m fine!” catchphrase is now “tout va bien !” which means “everything’s fine!”

some of the names have been translated again. for example, trucy is now called “Vérité” which not only is the french form of the english name “Verity”, but it also is the literal french word for “truth”, which gives some dialogues a double meaning whenever they’re discussing the truth. “Vous dites... la vérité... Apollo Justice... ?”

they did not change lamiroir’s name. they did however change machi tobaye to “Tomas Kashkash”, make of that what you will

in the first case, phoenix and kristoph use formal pronouns when addressing each other in court, and informal pronouns outside of court, which is fun. by the final case they’re exclusively using formal pronouns since their friendship has pretty much ended. (it’s a similar case with klavier and daryan, who switch to formal pronouns when they’re trying to be serious/professional and when their friendship starts to splinter.) (apollo and trucy use informal pronouns on each other pretty much the whole way through.)

trucy says “Mééééééé !” a lot

she also calls apollo “Pollo”

wocky kitaki (”Willy” in french) is my fricking favourite oh my god. he speaks in such verlan-ified slang i had to painstakingly decipher every single thing he said. i love him. when he said “sakom” i felt that 😔✊ he’s nigh-incomprehensible just like he was in the english version. absolute king.

in order to make wocky so iconic they apparently had to sacrifice klavier though, because in this version he is english. ENGLISH. AS IN, FROM ENGLAND. usually the french localisation takes its cues from the english version so i thought they’d keep him german, and then when he started calling people “miss” instead of “Fräulein” i thought maybe they’d made him american, like he was in the original japanese version, but NO IT TURNS OUT HE’S JUST ENGLISH??? LIKE FROM ENGLAND????? U WOT M8 JOLLY GOOD OLD CHAP CHEWSDAY INNIT????? I’M FROM ENGLAND, THIS IS THROWING ME OFF TOO MUCH

and they didn’t even commit to the englishification!! he barely says any english stuff at all! he sometimes says “miss” or “mister” and that’s... about it? he doesn’t even have any “Achtung, baby!” equivalent!! he calls apollo “M. Grand Front” which yeah means basically the same thing as herr forehead but it’s entirely in french so what’s the point?? god if you were gonna curse him by making him from freaking england then at least go all the way?? at least his “Objection !” sounds cool i guess...

and his name is “Konrad” in this version. that’s fine because “clavier” means “keyboard” in french (like the thing you type on) so i get that it would have sounded silly. but imo they should have gone in the opposite direction and picked a random english word to name him then. they should have named him Stapler or something. why’d they give him a normal name. he is Stapler Gavin in my heart

ema calls him “minet pailleté” btw which yeah pretty much just means glimmerous fop. (she studied in england too in this version WHY THE FRICK IS EVERYONE ENGLISH)

there were some fun french puns, such as calling phoenix apollo’s “mentor” (french for “mentor”, if you couldn’t guess) and then calling him “menteur” which means liar and sounds very similar

“I killed a man named “Smith” with a bottle because I am an evil human being.”

#ace attorney #apollo justice #aa4 spoilers #or however the heck people tag their spoilers idk #random stuff #i know i wrote like three entire paragraphs just about klavier but it completely blindsided me okay #oh sorry i meant ~Stapler~ #also his vibes in this french version are like slightly... sluttier. idk how to put it #maybe it's just a quirk of the french language who knows #the only example i can think of off the top of my head is #he said he almost had to do a strip-tease to get through borginian customs #that was his literal wording. he literally said that. he said strip-tease #i mean i know he said something similar in the english version but IT WASN'T QUITE THAT #oh yeah and he called his guitars his conquests instead of his lovers #for an ace attorney he sure is a guitarfucker huh #there were other things but i can't remember right now #anyway that's a little treat for you if you took the time to read my nonsense tags

I love empire now by hozier it’s one of his best songs in recent memory in my opinion. and it is also, I have to admit, about max verstappen.

#LISTEN #future so bright it’s burning #the empire now is Merc dominance #a world that’s easy now = max’s current dominance #and the transition from a dream come around to a world that’s easy now = the difference between 2021 and all the years that came after #going to go out on a limb also and say martyrs of our revolution = daniel #also there’s SOMETHING there with problem brought it’s own solution but idk what #I need the max scholars of the fandom to help me out maybe #max verstappen #hozier #empire now #maxiel #< maybe. probably. #also any song with scratchy guitar and bass that sounds like a car engine is about f1 I don’t make the rules

there's this one dude i keep seeing whenever i use youtube without being logged in whose main thing is playing the guitar while adding something that will most likely completely ruin the instrument and it just. makes me so angry. so far i've seen him put fireworks inside one drill holes into another and drown two (three?) different guitars. it's obviously an incredibly wasteful gimmick but worst of all it's useless it doesn't even sound good or special it's so blatant that he just adds a ton of reverb afterwards and emphasizes the additional noises (water splashing around the fireworks burning etc) a little bit but that's it there really isn't anything gained musically from him just. wasting a perfectly fine guitar for one (1) video. and i'm aware that dramatically destroying instruments for some sort of statement has been A Thing for a long time but there really isn't any statement here it's just clickbait content and it WORKS everyone eats this shit up i hate it so much

#not to sacralize a regular object too much i'm not saying this is bad bc instruments are too holy for this or whatever #but a guitar is still. something that takes a lot of time and resources to make. even a low-end one (idk what kind he's purchasing for thes #you can't really tell anything about the acoustic quality under the shitton of production effects) #and i just think treating them like they're single-use is. bad. #ESPECIALLY SINCE AGAIN IT DOESN'T ADD ANYTHING #HE COULD GET THE EXACT SAME RESULTS BY JUST SLAPPING SOME REVERB AND RELEVANT SOUND EFFECTS ON THE PIECE #but if he does that he can't film himself dramatically playing an instrument that's rapidly being ruined #and get a thousand comments saying 'its dying song sounds so beautiful 🥺' like he didn't just buy it for that sole purpose #anyway. i hate it. i hate it so much #.parakeet

[userkoo]

kinda crazy how ingenious guitar hero and rock band were… taking something everyone loves - listening to music - and making it an interactive, skill-based challenge is so smart

#i think the franchise could make a proper comeback if they found a way to integrate what people love about year end wrapped lists into it #because it works off the same premise a little bit #taking music listening and making it into a challenge of sorts #or something you compare with your friends #there’s been a resurgence with the thing where people make guitar hero tracks to songs that previously weren’t #but like. idk. we need a huge comeback!!! i want to walk into everyone’s room and see those fuck ass plastic instruments again!!

today i rented a guitar.

#i think im worried about going into a bad headspace again this summer because summer is kind of a tricky time for that #i dont like not being at school #i think i always need to be doing something #so i rented a guitar from the music store and im going to attempt to learn over the summer #i was noodling around for like an hour and it sounds so relaxing #ive been “playing” ukulele for a few years now and its a lot trickier than ukulele because there's more strings but knowing how its mapped #out from already knowing how a ukulele works is super helpful #its nice having something to work on for the next little while #but im more excited about the prospect of just having been able to do that #like i walked into the store and went “i wanna rent a guitar” and the dude was like “how old r u” and i went “twenty" #and then i filled out the paperwork and now i just have a guitar #and it only cost like 20 bucks #thats so cool to me #idk i guess they're just little things that remind me that being an adult is scary but it can also be kind of fun? you kind of realize that #when everyone else tells you that you have free will now it doesnt just mean being able to drive whereever you want whenever you want #it means being able to rent things and stuff too #and having the authority to say “i would like to do this” and being totally allowed to do it (within ethical boundaries ofc ofc 😌😌😌) #its like...deeper than the kind of rebelliousness of driving past midnight or getting tattoo or driving to a bar #its a weird sense of control thats oddly reassuring #delete later probably #tig rants

[skyward-floored]

Due to the fact that Link plays Mikau’s guitar in mm, and the fact that hw has so much guitar in its ost, I propose that in modern aus instead of Warriors and Time meeting in a war, they were in a band as kids/teenagers that they had to break up because of Time moving away or something

#the band was called ‘War of Ages’ or something #idk I’m just thinking about guitars #linkeduniverse #linked universe #lu time #lu warriors #rambles from the floor

man I drew a lot today :D I wanna maybe try to make little paper dolls tomorrow out of Flower and Y2K... usually when I get to a point where I Really Love an oc ill make a little doll that's made to look like if you hold them you're holding a tiny version of them by the scarf or something. i like doing that

#hmmm Y2K will probably get held by the jacket #but what about Flower... you cant really grab her by the clothes but grabbing her by the hair or foot would be mean #maybe ill have her hold a guitar or something #i guess her skirt is also double layered you could technically pick her up by the skirt #but idk how that would work with gravity

Brian Molko you beautiful bisexual bastard you will always be my first true love. And I still want to steal that gender, as I have for the past 15 years tbh

#mona rambles #placebo #the concert was PHENOMENAL god #there is just something about seeing the bands live that were your teenage religion.... <3 #also immensely cool to me that most of the people there were a solid 10 years older than me if not more like. idk just always makes me #- happy #also yes. that's my gender actually. brian molko playing guitar and looking as if he's not even aware there's anyone else in the room

Do I need an electric guitar...

#(the answer is no) #(i do not) #(i want one. kind of badly. will i still want one badly in a week? hm.) #i've been thinking about getting an electric guitar for a couple weeks but... is that long enough #i don't think so. i have an acoustic guitar already. and bass is definitely my Primary Instrument (read like “preferred weapon”) #but someday... maybe i'll get an electric guitar. maybe. i don't know. #i DO have my own money now though. since i got a job. and i could certainly afford an electric guitar. but like... is it worth it #probably not. whenever i use my friends' electric guitars i am weirded out by how small they are and how bendy the strings are #like they are... soft. the strings. they are thin so they hurt a bit but they bend SO much. it's weird. acoustic has more resistance #or something. idk. but when i try to play electric the strings just w o b b l e. this is such a weird ramble it has such a weird cadence #but it's fine. #anyway acoustic guitar feels more like electric bass than it does electric guitar #to me. at least. i think i will still go to guitar center tomorrow to try some electric guitars out. but i won't buy one. #also feel free to read this whole ramble but replace “electric guitar” with “five string bass” because same thoughts #dante dicit #dante digreditur #bassist #guitarist #bass #electric guitar #guitar

songs that give me feelings so intense I can't even listen to them most of the time and have to take safety precautions when I do:

lonely by sadness

o superman by laurie anderson

the last 6 minutes of eateot

ohm sweet ohm by kraftwerk

#eateot last minutes messed up my life the most but it doesn't haunt me as much anymore #mostly bc i never listen to it #ohm sweet ohm is disturbingly comforting #idk what it is about it #idk something about the radioactive associations combined with the happy melody #o superman just kind of messes up my brain but again i rarely listen to it #that chord progression in general does something to my thoughts #lonely by sadness i literally refuse to listen to #i probably heard it around the time after my sister's friend died #and the first half is like. sounds like the actual horrors #it's so #you can literally hear the mental illness #but my god the second half #just the slightly out of tune acoustic guitar #it feels like there's no hope #god there is no reason for me to listen to that song #i'm gonna stop thinking about these and go listen to the venkification playlist (songs that make you feel like venk golden ratio) #ramble
