#Well well well. If it isn't I. Len who disappeared #For my brief return I bring you Trigun and alien stage #bet you didn't see that one comin #In all honesty idk if someone has done this before but i wouldnt doubt it if they have. i mean it just fits. its so perfect. I had to #The song is short and so is the lyrics so give it a listen/read if you can :) #the song was giving Vash for many reasons beyond the name sooo yeah! #They both are incedibly badass. silly and have a prosthetic. tragedy is at their doorstep. it overlaps perfectly what can i say #trigun #vash the stampede #trigun stampede #vash #trigun fanart #lenssi draws #trigun maximum

If all we need to live is up to time No one's sure what made it brought me to our way of life

#persona 3 #persona 3 reload #p3 reload #ryomina #ryoji mochizuki #oh my gosh I love this song #I never thought.. another song would be able to fit where burn my dread is (I LOVE soul phrase ofc but that was for femc) but this one #it works... it adds a different flavor #it feels like someone who's been watching the protagonist's journey's singing this song with him #WHICH IS WHY.. I KEEP ASSOCIATING RYOJI W THIS ONE.. #doodle #but isn't it??? doesn't seem like it's ryoji or aigis?? I'm goin for ryoji bc aigis already has the ending and this one works so well w him #THINK ABOUT IT!!!! #a lot of the lyric's second person's perspective or has “we” or “you” #that's why I immediately started drawing a lot of ryojis after having seen that opening video and I'M REALLY CONVINCED NOW #spoilers #not really #but implied #persona

I don't think enough people talk about YOU TWO. People are always attributing various things to gaster, but there were two other people in the room with him when it happened. They could be the ones doing these things. I always felt like a lot of the things attributed to him seem to contradict each other personality-wise. Maybe one of them is going around giving random short guys new, never-before-seen complexes while the other is handing out eggs, or making fountains.

On deltarune.com/chair there's dialogue that appears in the tab name: "But what if it could get... ...darker than dark?" This seems like it was said surrounding one of Gaster's dark experiments, but notably, it is not in all capital letters, like Gaster always speaks in. This was someone else talking. They use capitalization the normal way, just like the voice that discards the vessel, so they could be the same person. I know just about everyone uses capitalization the normal way, the connecting thread here is both being in relation to Gaster, the capitalization just means that them being the same person is allowed.

#what if W D and Gaster are all separate people #Ok now my personal headcanon: #the one who connects you to DELTARUNE at the beginning of the game is gaster (obviously). the one handing out eggs is also gaster. #since he's shattered across time and space. that's why his existence is so... debatable lol. #+ you can find him in the light world which would seem to imply he's a lightner. but when you seal the fountain there isn't someone extra #in the room with you. #no matter what you do in the dark world #he isn't there by the time you seal the fountain #if you take the egg he isn't yhere #if you don't take the egg he was not there #if you don't enter that room. he exists in a state of superposition. and when you turn on the lights (observe him) he collapses into #nonexistence. #does that make sense? #anyway. second headcanon: #the guy who fucked up jevil and spamton #is also the one who discarded the vessel #and is one of 'you two'. #and the other person.. no clue #and alphys is the knight and dess sings don't forget which is the song from the water #deltarune #deltarune lore #deltarune theory

i think probably the most surreal thing about hatsune miku specifically becoming kind of mainstream is that her fame is detached from her roots. i.e. a lot of people who are only hearing about miku via cultural osmosis don't actually know WHAT she is. i see people make a lot of comments about what miku is without ever actually being correct. "she's a robot" "she's a persona" "she's a hologram" for fucks sake she is a synthesizer. she is an app, a program. she is not AI. the voice samples used to make her voice were given with consent and you actually have to plug in the words and melody manually instead of just typing in a prompt and generating something. and one of the side effects of this particular semi-mainstream status is that miku kind of eats up all the popularity that could be going to other vocalsynths. like unless you've been in the vocaloid/vocalsynth community for a while, the likelihood that you're familiar with literally any other vocalsynth aside from MAYBE gumi is like astronomically low. and even if a vocaloid song with other vocalsynths manages to get popular in this landscape, it most likely gets covered by utaites/youtaites and other adjacent singers like vtubers over and over until the original version of the song gets completely buried. and it's just a tiny bit exhausting.

#sye's babbles #this is speaking as someone whose favorite vocaloid isn't even super obscure #like my favorite is luka. she is a crypton vocaloid. she has some amount of built in focus as a result. #and yet.......... no one knows her outside of the vocalsynth community #songs with her rarely get as popular and it feels like her popularity in even the vocalsynth community is shrinking and shrinking #she doesn't get as much merch or figures as she used to #and i would just like it if maybe some other vocaloids/vocalsynths aside from miku and gumi could get some attention for once #'you owe hatsune miku your life and your bones' but what about the rest of the vocalsynths? #what about the music that has been produced by people who havent and dont ever plan to use miku? #what about even the other cryptonloids? rin and len? kaito and meiko? luka??? #what about lily and IA and sweet ann and big al and oliver???? #dont mind me im bitter.

Our first introduction to a revived Catelyn is learning that she can't speak but she remembers, inquiries about Arya, and accurately pointing out someone involved in that red wedding. It's been obvious from the start that she's still Catelyn, even though her being resurrected affected her. Considering fandom's trend of labeling female characters "too far gone" for not being perfect, pure, and passive it's obvious why people talk about her like they do. Yes she's angry and wants revenge but literally who wouldn't if they were in her situation? It's annoying how little empathy people have for her character. Personally, I hope there's more to her story than getting demonized for rightfully wanting revenge and having to get "put down" like she's a wild animal.

#catelyn stark #catelyn tully #lady stoneheart #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #I need people to stop talking about female character like their wild animals just cause they feel /negative/ emotions #Oh the woman who watched her son killed before getting murdered herself and then brought back to life isn't nice and sweet and gentle ohhhh #that means she absolutely has to be put down I mean what other option is there??? / srs #Show me some actual proof that she's too far gone and not just you're assumptions about someone who gets brought back to #life like we don't already have Beric walking around...I hate when fandom just decides things instead of looking at the story #like she currently has nothing not even a guarantee that any of her children are alive #reuniting with Arya is going to be big for her and you know what? I doubt she'll want to be put down like fandom assumes #she's def going to want to stay around as long as she can to protect her children especially if she's learns Bran and Rickon are alive #catelyn get behind me! I'm rooting for you!

I was talking to a friend about how it's kinda fucked that if any of the tortured poet songs are about Matty Healy (I think some are but you never know) that her issues about him are just "vague bad boy asshole" instead of the fact that he's a racist piece of shit. And my friend said something along the lines of "well how do you expect her to have a line in there that just says he's a racist"

And like..... she fully could actually. One of the other songs on the album, as shitty as the line is, does specifically mention racism and technically implies it is bad (very big problems with the actual content of the line but that's for a different post). She also previously had a song, as performative as it was, that told people homophobia was stupid.

So it's not that she doesn't want anything "political" in her songs, or that she wouldn't striaght up mention racism. Would it really be that hard to have a line basically being like "then i realized you were shitty to me, and a bigot too". Like. It isn't hard. You're not even pulling a dear john to mention his name explicitly or something, so it would be up for interpretation who it would be about (even if we all knew). I'm not asking for a full song called Bigot #5, just some indication that this was a problem

#it's all really made worse by the fact that she collaborated with ice spice who matty healy DIRECTLY made his comments about #like.... that does make you mad ms swift? really? #of course we all know the answer is that her allyship is all performative #if the racism was the deal breaker there's no chance she wouldn't have mentioned it in a song. but it wasn't. so she didn't. #anti taylor swift #taylor swift critical #(???) #(if that tag isn't meant for being critical of her and is for like lyric analysis someone give me a heads up) #the tortured poets department

watched the musical demon show (don't wanna name it so this post isn't in the tags) at the behest of an IRL friend and i can already tell this is going to be a piece of media where i absolutely cannot stop thinking about it, not because i really love the show as-is, but because it has so many individual components i really like and find incredibly fun or compelling, and i'm so frustrated that it doesn't come together for me

i think the main thing i can say about it as a show, setting aside some of the insensitive choices that were made that i really don't feel qualified to tackle or talk about, is that the entire thing sort of gives off this vibe of someone really excited to show you every single oc they made in high school and college and i very genuinely mean that in both the best and worst ways possible

there are some good hooks for season two though so i will absolutely give them that

#the vibe is just like... they are just soooo excited to get all their ideas out that it becomes... messy and badly paced #like there are so many moments that are cool or fun or emotional in a vaccuum but they don't connect fully y'know #because this arc or character was JUST introduced so there isn't proper build up. everything moves too quick #and it's frustrating because you can TELL that the people making this show love their ideas and characters #and i more than get thta! i am also someone with a lotta ocs i love to blab about #but i think they have been working with them so long that they #a. assume we are already just as attached to them as they are without always doing that work #b. assume we've seen all the supplemental material which. i have not #and i don't think that a professional show is the type of thing where there should be a barrier of entry that involves like #podcasts and comics and twitter threads and IC instagram posts about characters to do that emotional/lore legwork y'know #i love lore and supplemental stuff obviously but this should still be like #a satisfying experience for me a person who saw the pilot however many years ago and then has not interacted with the show or fandom since #idk man stuff felt rushed and messy and i wish i liked it more #it needed more slow moments i think. the two scenes where the group all drinks together (minus one awful joke in the bar scene) are like #the best in the show to me becase i actually believe these guys are FRIENDS. i wanna see them hang out more! #i wanna see them actually really grow to like each other organically!!! i wanna see them build connections and grow better slowly!!! #songs absolutely slap though. soundtrack is probably gonna be in my spotify unwrapped 2024 #i love me a musical and that inspiration is on its sleeve which i love #also imo the humor isn't great usually. it's very juvenile imo and sometime that works but it often doesn't #(for me at least humor is obviously SUPER subjective) #also tonally they have this 'have your cake and eat it too' issue which bugs me. it's exemplified by the v's (one in particular) #actually i could go on a whole rant about the v's if anyone is interested because god i have some Thoughts #and i think my issues with the v's (namely one v) encapsulates many issues i have with the show #despite all this rambling i actually did enjoy a lot of my time with it. i just don't think it was well-written if that makes sense

[alexcabotgf]

this isn't a hot take by any means but a lot of you would be so much happier if you stopped having parasocial relationships with celebrities oh my god

#like stop obsessively keeping up w celebrities' lives stop following them on social media stop watching their every move or care about what #they say or do outside of their jobs #most of them don't have education other than a hs diploma so do yourself a favor and go enjoy their silly little shows/songs/etc in peace #this isn't directed at anyone in patricular just the general discourse bc i can't believe there are people in their 20s 30s 40s on here #who have nothing better to do than be up in arms about what some celebrity from a show they used to watch as kids said about something just #get some friends focus on yourself if you do accidentally come across something someone did or said that rubs you the wrong way #make a decision whether or not you still want to ''support'' them by watching/listening to their stuff legally #if you even do that in the first place in 2 seconds and then move on forever it's so easy #~85% of the information i learned about every celebrity i started liking within the last 3 or so years has been against my will but #sure sometimes i'm like i wonder what so and so named their kid and i look it up and go oh jaden? that's cute and then close the tab like #learn to pick your battles #tbd

who give a shit about tayIor swift

#liz blogs #i saw an instagram post from someone like 'why is everyone who doesnt like taylor swift like mean and boring and sexist' like what . huh #she's just another mid celebrity i literally don't get why she's miles more popular than the next famous blonde_woman.mdl in hollywood #i'm not even being a Hater(tm) i literally . don't get it. i'm sorry. she made like two catchy songs in 2010. is that her whole Thing #'mid' isn't even being a hater it just means like. moderate. neither good nor bad. Middle. #are you guys ok does she have some kind of siren or mind control power #i am immune to whatever she does to people. i don't hate her but i don't really like her either she simply just Exists to me. she is Mid! #i've heard her music! i have no idea what's different about her that nets her this kind of insane rabid fanbase. i am lost #i spelled her first name with an i instead of an L lest her fans act like i just called her a slur and threatened her actual life #instead of just saying i don't get what the big deal is and she's not really any more or less special or talented than the next artist #you'll hear on the radio #anyway this post has been brought to you by 'why tf is she on the explore page'

I asked this on Reddit, but i want to know what you guys would change about Nightbringer?

Whether that be the story, characters, gameplay, etc

#i would like to change Ruri-tunes #allow players to pick what song and difficulty they like #because my god as someone who plays project sekai on expert/master #being forced to play on normal with songs i don't even like is my hell #or id just make Ruri-tunes a thing you could play to level up your cards/get items but isn't required to get through the main story #oh and getting a full combo should give you a guaranteed win #because its dumb that i could literally get a perfect combo and still fail the level #obey me #obey me nightbringer #omnb #jolted's ramblings

I'm going to lose my fucking mind

#For context: I was going to make a post complaining about how lesbians don't have enough good musical theater duets #(like we have the love songs from 'The Color Purple' which're alright but doesn't match the passion or desperation present in the book imo #'Changing My Major' which is a great love song but doesn't hit that sweet duet spot #'Dance With You' and the last verse of 'You Happened' from The Prom are sweet but the girls barely get to actually sing about each other #Honestly 'Oh Well' from Love In Hate Nation comes closest to what I want but it ends on a bittersweet note unless you see the show live #If only Elphaba and Glinda were canon... #But anyway. I can't believe that there's an adaptation of The Color Purple coming in the year of our lord 2023 and this is #how they're talking about Shug Avery. Her *role model*. Lock up your *husbands*. Ick. Pfaff. #I mean they're going to be gay. You can't get around that. But Shug is the love of her life. Can we please talk about that in the character #Don't mind me I'm just over here overreacting #From what I've read one of the biggest adaptational changes in the musical is her reaction to Shug's affair. #Like in the book Shug is the one light in her life. I sobbed myself to sleep over her nosedive in self-worth when they took a break #In the musical she's just...fine with it? I get why that's more satisfying emotionally but I still think it undermines their relationship #I don't get the curse thing either. I'm a little fuzzier on this part but in the book doesn't she just leave him and she's able to thrive? #Then when he asks her to get back together she's able to just know that the worst with Shug or alone is better than the best with him? #This book man. I hate that there isn't an adaptation as devoted to the Celie/Shug relationship as the book is. #Hate that the only recommendation I've seen calling it a sapphic book was from someone who thought that Celie's letters were to her lover #I remember watching this steamy adaptation of a Shakespeare play in soph Eng and seething because they only kiss once in the 1985 movie #Ig I can't expect too much from 1985 but...it was in the book! It was one of the most important parts! They don't even live together in it! #This was all to say I wast a lesbian 'Green Green Dress' a lesbian 'Home' a lesbian 'Natasha & Anatole' a lesbian Legally Blonde finale #The list goes on #I'm sure The Color Purple (2023) will be a good adaptation and movie. I will not pop blood vessels while watching it. #Maybe I should just avoid press releases and the movie will surprise me in a good way.

nobody gets me like she does

#ray toro #mcr #mine #every so often i find a mychem member and I'm like. no THEY'RE the only one who understands me #but actually we're all friends and the 4 of them hold my hands forever and ever #isn't that something we save the great beyond look at you now etc etc #something something ray being a libra rising. libra risings having a big dark family secret #me being a libra rising. something something we both survived and this album is holding my hand #i think this is actually one of my favourite albums of all time #edit: remember the laughter the song just came on. is it possible for someone's heart to repeatedly break all over again?

[hedonists]

I wish both sides would just shut up and move on or enjoy the song in peace lol. No need to hate on this song, or on those who aren't vibing with it.

#nemesestext #and no I’m not talking about anyone who's rightfully annoyed at people who are throwing tantrums because Noah's vocals aren't on the track #you're good this isn't about you #however if someone simply doesn't vibe with the song because of this and are otherwise chill about it they're allowed to feel that way #enjoy it or don’t but please be normal about it #fandom bs

ok fr last one but there's actually a bootleg of my school's anastasia and i'm linking it bc you all NEED to understand that my infatuation with this one girl's voice which started when i was in the 6th grade and still hasn't really worn off isn't based on nothing

#brielle's the one in the n95 mask (the video is too grainy to actually make out any of the ensemble's faces but she stands out) #and i'm the in my 'teenage tboy's diy first short haircut' era in every scene she's in #apart from everything abt the girl who plays anya. the tea on everyone else is that our director liked the boy who played gleb's voice so #much that she actually lowered some if not all of his parts to be in his range. the guy who played vlad was a total diva and uhm. the phras #'peaked in high school' has been tossed around at him a lot. and the fact that he came back to sub the year after he graduated isn't helpin #his case. also he pressured the girl who played anya's grandmother into wearing old age makeup + spray her hair grey bc he decided he was #going to wear it and since she's supposed to be older than him she had to too and used to waltz into the girls' changing room whenever he #wanted. everyone was like super shocked during auditions though bc we all thought he was a shoe-in for dimitry esp since seniors get #priority casting bc it's their last chance. but at callbacks (we had singing auditions via video and dance auditions in person and callback #were tacked on to the dance auditions) he kinda flubbed his song and then this freshman. who was with us via google meet bc he literally ha #covid at the time absolutely blew him out of the water and i remember walking away w brielle like 'holy shit [first name] [last name] just #lost a part to a freshman' (he's the kind of person you just have to full name otherwise it sounds wrong). that said i do think he made a #much better vlad then he would've made a dimitry and while he is. a lot. he's always been nice to me and i did briefly idolize him and his #stage presence way i did anya's singing voice but that faded when i got into hs and started actually observing his prima donna ways #(the one production we were in together before in middle school we didn't have any scenes together). the girl who played the grandma #actually shouted me out in cast circle and that's the only time that's ever happened to me. also i'm p sure her dad is/was dating someone m #dad and by extension myself work with so that's. Oh My God. like she (the one who works for my dad) brought him w her to a comedy show as i #think her bf but i'm not 100% sure and when he found out what school i went to he mentioned his daughter went there and despite the fact #that i basically have a script for when people ask me that question bc i do NOT pay attention to most of my fellow students and don't know #anyone i was like 'holy shit' bc i actually did. hm what else. the guy who played the tsar and i used to shittalk bad period dramas #backstage during the first part of act 2. also during the press conference scene i need you to picture all the bolshevik soldiers and #romanov royals doing the macarena behind the curtain bc that was absolutely what we were doing back there. speaking of the press conference #the really high singing w/o a clear source was actually anya standing behind the curtain on the other side of the stage bc she's the only #one who physically could sing the part. also in regards to the bolshevik soldiers. we were originally supposed to have wooden rifles but fo #some reason our director took them out so we had to just walk menacingly towards the romanovs. you can't rlly see me that well in that scen #but that jacket would NOT stay closed and for 2/3 performances i had to awkwardly hold it closed the entire time. luckily the one that was #filmed was the one where i was smart enough to bring safety pins and also saved like all of the ballerinas bc their costumes all started #falling apart at once backstage. #romeo.txt #theatreposting

[godofsmallthings]

have been analyzing my taylor rankings & opinions a lot recently (when am i not) and i've realized that even though if you asked me to rank her genres i would pick her country over her pop as a whole, i almost always rank her pop albums higher than her country albums on an individual basis and this is because i just find the topics she explores in them infinitely more compelling

#i've said this before but i think since her background is in country writing when she's writing for that genre (or just for more acoustic #/singer-songwriter/even rock-ish music) it's so easy for her to land on her feet #that the misses there are always less severe than her pop song misses #(also part of that is undoubtedly that you can excuse her earlier albums bc of her age as well) #buttttt as someone who isn't really a hopeless romantic i just am so much more interested in her later work #which still centers around love and relationships but in an entirely different way. like it comes from a place of self-reflection that just #isn't really present in her earlier work #and i just find that 10000000x more interesting #additionally tho i do really like jack antonoff's style most of the time so i just don't have the dislike of her pop work that a lot of #ppl do #vi is typing...
