#music makes me sentimental

[lightningidle]

I unironically love that every single Splatoon game’s story mode is like “and btw the love you have for the people around you is so important, so strong, capable of breaking down any barrier, it is the second most powerful force in the universe. the first is how good this music is”

#Splatoon #Idle Chatter #EVERY TIME WE HIT A FINALE TRACK I TEAR UP A LITTLE #music makes me sentimental

Theater is

Theater is a kid, trying to figure out what clubs to do in second grade, knowing that they've seen musicals and plays before and loved watching them and seeing drama club on the list

Theater is

Audition

Casting

Rehearsal

Theater is the kid, old enough to sing in the musical, memorizing their lines and others, loving every second of being onstage

Theater is

Memorization

Blocking

Choreography

Theater is the kid, now in middle school, deciding to do the theater class since there is one at their school now, meeting the theater teacher, meeting new friends, being good at it, finally auditioning for their first actual musical

Theater is

Stage Fright

Friendship

Confidence

Theater is that kid getting the main role, doing theater again the next year, knowing so much about all of it and teaching the newer kids, painting set pieces with their friends, the friends that they now have because of theater

Theater is

Props

Costumes

Lights & Sound

Theater is the kid going into high school, leaving their middle school theater teacher and younger friends, so anxious about it but quickly finding their place in their theater class, volunteering at a drama fundraiser and meeting older theater kids there, learning their names and being able to make an impression

Theater is their first high school audition, for the fall play, multiple smaller plays directed by seniors, and having fun, getting cast in one of the biggest ones with the best directors they could've asked for, still anxious about being a good cast member but getting more confident again

Theater is rehearsals 3 times a week after school, the kid finding their footing in the cast, making friends with the older kids, being able to make suggestions or point things out that need fixing in the show

Theater is the kid being able to impress people, being able to memorize their lines, being able to be confident, being able to fix things, being able to say hi to their cast in the halls, at first just smiling at their director when they passed each other during passing period but then saying hi, even talking for a minute or two, the cast walking to the grocery store together at the start of a rehearsal for almost no reason, the kid being able to talk to their castmates, their friends, and not feel out of place, being excited for the bigger productions later in the year, not being worried about stage makeup because they know the older kids will be there, knowing that the older cast members and their directors will help them if they need it, knowing that they'll still be able to spend more time with them, knowing that they'll be so sad when the seniors graduate, but knowing that they still have almost all of the school year with them

Theater is

Belonging

Safety

Laughter

Freedom

Joking

Focusing

Acting

Acting, but with people that you trust. With people that even though you met them 2 months ago, that you know. You know their mannerisms, how they laugh, their sense of humor. You know that they're kind, you know that they care, you know that all of you love this. You all love this so, so much. You know that if you make a mistake on stage, that they'll improv and cover for you, and that you'd do the same for them. You know that no matter how anxious you are before the show, that they'll be someone with the same nerves and you can comfort each other.

And then the last show will end, and the audience will applaud. You will bow, with these people, these people that you may not have known a few months prior, but that so much trust has formed between. You've played improv games with these people, walked to the store with them, rehearsed over and over and over again with them, learned so much from them, taught and helped and been taught and helped, and it's over.

Until the next show, and the next, and the next year with more new freshmen, some of the kid's younger middle school friends now there too, until the year that the kid will direct their own show, as a senior, and try to be just as good a director as the ones they had their freshmen year.

And they will belong.

They will all belong.

Song of the Day: March 27

"Long Time Gone" by The Chicks

#song of the day #I'm still thinking about the Country Songs About Country Songs #this is actually a cover too though I never hear the original around anywhere #(it's by Darrell Scott who is also the originator for 'You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive' #turns out he's got a bunch of songs that got picked up and made somewhat more popular in the hands of other folks. an interesting legacy) #the best lines of this song to sing are also the bits About Country Music--well the whole song's about chasing the love of it #but this bit is bemoaning the kids these days you know. country music isn't what it used to be. why back in my day etc etc #it's so so so much fun to sing too because you get to exaggerate your 'I think's until they rhyme with 'Hank'. excellent work #'we listen to the radio to hear what's cookin / but the music ain't got no soul #now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard / they got money but they don't have Cash #they got Junior but they don't have Hank / I think I think I think / the rest is a long time gone' #it's fascinating to me to think about these songs in (saying 'historical' here is giving me psychic damage but) historical context #because the Darrell Scott original for Long Time Gone came out in 2000 and The Chicks released their version in 2002 #so they were talking about the trend towards American jingoism in country music of the time #versus like Waylon Jennings in 1975 'Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way' #(I typed that and /then/ went back and looked up the release date and I'm so proud I got it right) #already bemoaning the state of country music in the 70s versus good old classic country like Hank Williams Senior sang #(Hank Jr covered Waylon's song in 1981. like yes it's a tribute to his father but also Hank Jr was a big push towards outlaw country #and has a few pretty famous songs himself about not singing like his daddy did. it just seems a strange choice to me) #and then Eric Church put out 'Lotta Boot Left to Fill' in 2009 calling out the shallowness of the country music scene of the time #(talking some only-thinly-veiled shit about a few of his peers in the process) #and then he released 'Stick That In Your Country Song' in 2021 and that /definitely/ put some backs up #that one's a less directed but more direct call-out if that makes any sense #no lines that are direct references to other artists' songs but stronger sentiments overall #not just general 'y'all are getting shallow prioritizing good times and high sales over genuine heart and integrity of craft' #but some straight up 'you have forgotten the face of your father' shit towards country artists and fans alike. the whole industry #a very good righteous-anger song

[loverboybrightsideghost]

la cage aux folles musical. that is all.

#WHERE HAS IT BEEN MY EJTIRE LIFE #i need to find a slime tutorial ASAP #listened to both the 1983 and the 2010 albums and i can't tell which one i prefer #i do like that the 2010 one also had more tracks so i had a better idea of the characters and their interactions when they're not singing #and maybe that's why that one made me more emotional #but regardless. fucking awesome i need to watch it NOW #genuinely song on the sand look over there with you on my arm making me almost cry #ESPECIALLY the 2010 version bc of the aforementioned more tracks/talking in the songs #so it's just like oh. oh oh oh. gay love is real and beautiful and possible and is everything. i see. no im fine just gimme a moment. #also kelsey grammar sounding hopelessly in love just made me go and turn into a sentimental puddle of slush #oh and of COURSE i am what i am. like fucking hello. god. #bluebird.txt #la cage aux folles #the musical OF ALL TIME!!!! #the best of times is now bitch. so love and love as hard as you know how 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[itsbrucey]

Up-Reprise is slowly becoming a song i can cry over. Like imagine that but on the scene where the dads and kiddads and mums are leaving the forgotten realms at the end of s1 of dndads andbdkkd

No joke. I'm fairly certain that the first time I watched Greasepaint and heard Up's reprise, I legitimately cried. Like I wasn't even sad that the season ended but it's just a song that's so evocative and raw in S1 and when paired with the really chill vibe of Greasepaint.....tears. just tears. The song feels like The End Of June.. a Curtain Call..... 'Journey's Done, Let's Go Eat". YKNOW. SORRY IF THATS PRETENTIOUS BUT GOD YOU'RE SO REAL FOR THIS BC THE SONG MAKES MY CHEST ACHE.

AND ITS ABOUT A CLOWN FUCKING UP HIS PART IN THE CATS MUSICAL.

AND YEAH. WHEN PAIRED WITH THE IMAGERY OF THEM ALL LEAVING THE FORGOTTEN REALMS......FUCK DUDE. AW MAN. THATS GOOD.......THATS REAL GOOD. I think Up is already a song that reminds me of Henry and how he essentially had a journey similar to Steve ( otherworldly guy gets blasted to another world and it's kinda sad but kinda peppy) but yeah. Up's reprise is a song for all the characters getting to go home.

IM NOT CRYING, YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!! /J

#Brucey Answers! #sorry if im being annoying about it at this point but i have a lot of attachment to bigtop burger #Comfort show. a massive inspiration. worthikids is an artist doing it like no other #and i originally found bigtop burger through the music!!!!! i thought it was from an indie band and then found the show trying to find more #so im kinda. sentimental. about Worthi's music. #and also it's a series heavily associated with summer inside and outside of the show so it's just. That. For Me #dont look at me IM CRINGE. IM CRINGE LARK OH NO #i need to get back to making animatics....i miss them #FUN FACT. I MADE A SKETCHY AND UNRELEASED BIGTOP BURGER ANIMATIC IN 2020 I THINK #IT WAS A “ WHO BROKE IT” ANIMATIC. #YOU CAN PROBABLY STILL FIND IT ON MY INSTAGRAM.

Happy poetry month! In the spirit of the month, what's your favourite poem? I'm not an avid poetry reader but mine is We Only Want the Earth.

Ooooh I'll have to check that one out, I don't think I've read it!

Hmmm as for favorite poem, there's a few I throw out as my top poem with frequency, but here I've got to say The Bridge by C. Dale Young. I just adore its positivity and the way it isn't afraid to be in love with the small details of life. That's just a feeling I relate with so much in my life and the whole poem is SUCH a vibe. Think I called it my idea of the world's greatest love poem in an essay once (which is def A Claim which idk if I'd fully back up now but the vibes are there) because it isn't just a poem about being in love with someone, it's loving everything they do and everything around you and loving just the world as a whole and how you see it everyday. Its such a vibe fr

Just- THIS !!!! ^^^^^^

#i love the way the mind runs the path from bubbles to dandelions... ME TOO KING!!!!!! #he just gets it. imo #i had to make a poetry collection for class once (i ranked this guy no 4 actually rip mr young i failed you here) #but i titled it after this poem and did this beautiful sketch of like the gg bridge over the bay or whatever the fuck water source (ive only #been to the airport lmao idk the geography in sf with detail) with like dandelions and a bunch of stuff in colored pencil it was so pretty #ANYWAYS what a blast. what a poem what a life etc. #i mean honestly once you start a poem with “i love” youre already flying high. like sentiment of all time for real. me fucking too bro #<if i sound crazy here i do NOT regret it. it is 4am though here and i just woke up after like 3hrs sleep to get driven back to college #after coming home for easter so like. whatever the fuck i was saying. we vibe #answered #THANK YOU FOR THIS ASK!!!! and the boops mwah <3 #i cant superboop anyone bc im on mobile but feel booped superly etc. #omg wait that make me think of superman... clark the man you are... ahdjahs sorry now i really sound kooky lmao <3 #i would boop him though. v boopable. or id let lois do it. shed enjoy that #ALSO I GOT NEW EARBUDS SO IM LISTENING TO MUSIC FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AGES #so i dont have to listen to my dads audiobook. instead julieta venegas is currently getting me through it. ily babe

Here Mutuals. No asks games, just me exposing myself. I don't have Spotify, and there is no algorithm to my CD listenings, but here is what YouTube has to say about how much music I listen to.

click for better quality? I don't know. Bully me if you want. Just don't leave me with 0 notes. T_T

#YT said I have listened to FIVE My Chemical Romance songs. Okay buddy. That's definitely true. #I have only listened to five MCR songs this year. #It also said I've listened to around 1400 something minutes of music. Which is laughable. #Making me look like a fraud all because most of my music listening is with my CDs. #brains #Sentiments of a vampire.

[meowchela]

god following a couple swiftie accounts is healing my soul ngl.....like i'm so used to people on this site wanting her dead in the streets its nice to see someone else who actually likes her music for a change 😭

#meow meows #like ill be so fr im exhausted of people performatively tearing her down to make themselves feel morally superior or whatever #dont like her? cool i do not care. i do like her and this is my blog #her music means a lot to me. the tag i use is tswift block it if u dont wanna see stuff abt her music occasionally. #unfollow if its that serious which i can gaurantee you it isnt #and if even seeing this gives you the urge to make a snarky comment or pass judgement ask yourself why #whys it your problem who i listen to #why do you think making snarky posts online is going to solve the problem; and if not why do you keep acting like it does #are you just annoyed seeing her everywhere; and if so why do you keep making it other people's problem #why are you so hostile about other people's preferences and experiences when they dont match your own #also to clarify no discourse has happened to me directly im just tired of seeing the same sentiments repeated by ppl in my circles #as well as just sensitive in general LOLL so it gets to me a lot more than it should

[oars]

every time i play acnh i miss acnl music so bad. i miss the tree :(

#.1 am #acnl music really fit the vibe of the hour to me #acnh music doesnt have a lot of variation to it. to me #i also miss the tree that grows with the town it makes me a little sentimental. i miss that aspect

[xcziel]

wow they decided to copy yoongi almost exactly: concert lovefest for army and then dip

#when namjoon started getting all sentimental on sm and vmin got huggy again i kinda knew #i figured nj was waiting to go in at the same time as jk and jm (no brainer that they'd be going in together) #and thinking on it i can't see why tae would want to do this by himself either #logically if they go in together that's the least amount of time they're 'separated' #and also ups the possibility of them being able to support each other within their service #like if one is busy there's others on hand *and* the hyungs are still in place to start them off with advice etc #not to be too cunical but after the thing with jin i just feel like they can't be too safe or guard their backs too much #lol as soon as i saw the full shot of jk's place in the gcf i was like: well that means he's not gonna be there much longer #also jm dyeing his hair bc he's just gonna shave it all off anyway makes a kind of sense #but this ALSO means all the stuff they've been talking and hinting about is gonna come out WHILE they're in #bc hobi's stuff is already on deck and he has a plan for as soon as he's out and the maknaes won't want to trample #on the newly released from service hyungs' projects so the travel show rm and jm's music jk's korean song??? #will all probably come next year and that after the fans have already had a docuseries christmas and new year #whew! #something about them sll going in together just hits me in the feels like ... just the closeness and protectiveness #and this way they can clock out of all the end of year ratings tallyings performances and comparisons! #bc they just deckared so they won't be going for a bit - they should have some time to settle things like yoongi did

Rumatera - Amore Randajo

Ghevo dito a tuti oramai / Che me spetasse in ostaria / Pa festegiare a novità / Te sentivo xa tra i brassi mii soto ai linsioi / Finché te me ghe ditto cossa che te voi / L'amore vero xe un calcio in tee bae / Che pa un secondo te pare normae / E quando te verxi i oci fa mae / E po xe cassi tui - I told everybody to wait for me at the bar to celebrate the news. I was already feeling you in my arms under the sheets, until you told me what you really wanted. Love is a kick in the balls and for a second this seems normal but when you open your eyes it hurts so bad. And then you're on your own

I'm trying to write a fic that I probably will not share (but we'll see) but I keep getting distracted by Youtube wanting to show me Big Country live performances. I can't resist watching them because god DAMMIT they're so fucking good! And they're so beautiful, too. I can't even. ;-;

#Stuart was truly a beautiful soul (like no wonder I make comparisons to him and Janis) #but to be completely fair all members of Big Country (the classic lineup) are beautiful #not necessarily in the physical sense (except for Tony. You can't argue how lovely he is!) but in the inward to outward sense #the beauty in the music they created reflects on who they are inwardly/outwardly #but that's just my sentimental/romantic take and tbh I don't expect anyone else to agree with me. lol #I'm watching all of their Rockpalast performance now btw omg. I could not resist. and I haven't seen it yet so #Youtube

It's 1:30am and Im overwhelmed by feelings that I dont have the brainpower to explain but the fact that Johnny names his horse Slow Dancer makes me go softly insane in a gentle n warm way
