I colored one of my animations for the first time, it's not very good, but I finally hear Twilight singing with his original voice by TP, because yes this is exactly the official voice actor!
I'm not an animator so I know this is probably not good, but I'm glad I did it anyway
So I hope you enjoy it, it's a little way to see my characters come to life, and it made me happy!
Also I always thought someone like Twilight could sing, he has a great sense of music 🥰
I imagine that "I just haven't met you yet" is Twilights and readers soulmates from the starts song.
One day he hears it through their head as they are in a restaurant not paying attention to the music and he is HOOKED. My boy dreams about how someday he'll meet them and together they can take on anything.
They hear him singing it to himself as he works on the ranch one day, and gets butterflies from how sweet he is being. Suddenly it's their favorite song, it's in every playlist. And when they feel like they are all alone they sing it to themselves to remember that a sweet boy named Link is waiting for the day the can meet in person.
Sorry for the long ask but this has been haunting me for MONTHS now.
Deku Sprout: “There was a war and your mother escaped with you into the forest, but she was badly wounded and died, and sensed you were the child of destiny, so we decided to raise you as a Kokiri, Link.”
Me, taking notes for fanfic purposes: “Welp, that’s another parallel to the list. Really is just “like grandpa like grandson” huh. Neat!”
When people hear nine inch nails, there's a specific sound I think they expect. Anyways, figure out what that is, go listen to closer by nine inch nails, and tell me how wildly off you were
This is like the most heavenly gorgeous dreamy floating on clouds relaxing breathtaking peaceful romantic fluttery feeling song ever and I like it so much I will give soundcloud $6 a month to be able to loop it without a 30 second unskippable ad in between every play but they better give all my subscription fees directly to giuk and gray dot
I ran across your reply in a post about Pippin’s version of Edge of Night, about how it was originally a happy song and he changed the lyrics and key to be sadder. Could you explain where he changed the lyrics? I can find plenty of sources for the changed version, but not for the original. Thanks!
Sure thing! In the book, the full version of the song goes like this. Frodo and his buds sing it as they hike across the Shire, before any of the bad stuff has really gone down at all:
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We'll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!
In Denethor's hall, in the movie, Pippin sings an adaption of that song. In Doylian terms here, Peter Jackson chose to change the words and tone; in Watsonian terms, which I much prefer in this case, Pippin took this fairly cheerful walking song that Denethor demanded of him and turns it into something befitting the world that Denethor is creating, allowing, and abetting in his realm:
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow to the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight.
Mist and shadow, cloud and shade,
All shall fade, all shall fade.
Pippin first removes the section "then world behind and home ahead/we'll wander back to home and bed," which denies Denethor the comfortable hope and domestic happy ending he was demanding of the hobbit.
Then, with that removal, the lines of "all shall fade, all shall fade" do a very changed duty in Denethor's hall than the "away shall fade! away shall fade!" in the original. Instead of mist and shade fading, pushed back by fire and bread, by the comforts of home and a warm bed, the rendition in Denethor's hall rings melancholy and tragic-- the fading of good things, the fading of life, of homes and paths and light, of good men like Faramir.
Knowing the original, it's made all the more rich in meaning by Denethor crunching through his bread and tomatoes, at home in the seat of his power. This place, its fire and lamps, its meat and bread, its good men (cut to Faramir riding toward certain doom) -- they will fade under the coming shadow (Pippin even exchanges "twilight" for "shadow" in his off-cuff rewrite). Pippin is mourning them and trying to rekindle some of that sorrow and that horror in Denethor's heart.
He's been ordered to sing the cheery songs of his people to please the cold echoing hall of his freezing-hearted, fallen man -- and so he does, and he makes the song instead about the foregone fading of Denethor's house. Love it! A+ Peregrin Took.
I'm sorry if this bothers you in any way but I just wanted to ask for something with Jasper hale/Cullen from twilight and a human mate who is in musical theatre and they couldn't speak for a bit from singing a lot (like they lost their voice) and how his reaction would be? If not I completely understand. Thank you!

"Hello Darlin'" Jasper dips down to kiss the side of your head affectionately, a small smile on his face showing a glimpse of the dangerous while that hides just beneath. He tosses his coat over the pile in your room and practically hops onto the bed to lay next to you. He playfully snatches the book out of your hands, being nosy and skimming his eyes over the page.
"Somebo-dy's in a go-od mood" Your voice is horse and cracks painfully as you force it to work, attempting to match his tone despite the obvious discomfort, and Jasper's head snaps up to look at you. You plaster on a smile to cover up the grimace, eyes crinkling in a would-be-wince.
His eyebrow scrunch, but he remains silent for a moment.
"...Did you make sure to do your vocal warm ups before rehearsal today?"
You nod.
"Did you take a break like I've been telling you to do?"
You nod.
"Did you keep pushing when you knew your throat was at its limit?"
You hesitate
Jasper sighs, getting out of bed and leaving the room, only to return two minutes later with a nice hot drink for you. Placing it on the side, he holds your face in his hands and gives you a loving kiss on the forehead, "You need to take better care of yourself, darlin'. I know you love singing and theatre, but i love you and I need you to put you first" His voice is gentle as he scolds you, but you can quite literally feel hos love for you radiating off of him.
"Now... read with me?" He lays back, pulling you with him so that in one swift movement you're half on top of him with your head resting on his collarbone. He grabs your book from it's forgotten place next to him, and takes a deep breath, secretly smelling your hair, before he begins.
And unlike yours, his voice is smooth. Unwavering as he distracts you from the itchy ache in your throat that is brought from overuse, And you never have to say a word.
That's the great thing about being with Jasper. He just gets it, gets you.
