#yep I'm ranting

[sleepanonymous]

do you have any thoughts about how vessel was trained? not trying to dissect his background/potentially trudge up personal stuff, but im so curious how people think his music was influenced since he mainly plays piano but can do other instruments too. i also have no musical knowledge so i have no idea the difference between classically trained, etc 🥹

Hello, Anon 🖤 Thank you for the ask! I have next to no musical knowledge myself, but I do have A Lot™️ of thoughts about how Vessel was trained. I'll do my best to go into details without getting into identity stuff, but just in case, this will all be below the cut so people can scroll past if they wish.

Okay. So. Vessel is a musical genius. I'm not saying that like, "Omg, he's so good at music and playing the piano and—" No. He's an actual genius. I've seen one source that claims he can learn any song by ear, and Vessel's YouTube channel with the piano covers he would make among his original songs. Obviously, he's not like… Mozart or something, but he is brilliant and very good at what he does.

I know that he has someone close to him who was/is a musician and fellow music lover, and I believe that is what kickstarted everything for Vessel at a very young age. He most likely was given piano lessons, and it probably evolved from there to learning guitar/bass when he got a bit older, and then by the time he was a teenager, he was learning how to compose and mix his own music (albeit with limited access to music production programs and equipment).

Regarding proper schooling, Vessel pursued his love of creating music in his education and graduated from a music institute for Songwriting. I'm not sure if there was a more formal title like Composing or Music Production or if maybe "Songwriting" automatically includes all of that. Vessel was claimed to be "a trained pianist" for one of his projects prior to Sleep Token. Still, it's unclear if that means he was Classically Trained, meaning he took music history courses and has an in-depth knowledge of music theory. Since he did graduate from a music institute, I'm assuming that he is Classically Trained, but I have not seen/heard actual evidence of that.

It's fascinating listening to the evolution of Vessel's music and his skills, even with something like "Arachnophobia" to "Thread the Needle." (There are much better examples, but I'm only just now realizing while editing this that I don't have them posted yet🤦‍♀️) That's about as specific as I can get without stating something too majorly personal or revealing. If anyone wants, I'd happily continue this conversation or answer any questions in a more private atmosphere, such as in DMs.

There are some good reblogs attached to this post, but the way it's worded is absolutely infuriating to me. Make your point without waxing poetic about narrative; the subject at hand defies all narrative

#hmm yep let this languish for a bit and i'm still mad (all the more so because i agree with the points about nationalism!) #to be clear i will never criticize a personal unpolished reaction to genocide- not my business #but this was a removed 'scholarly' post that i think speaks to a wider problem with how people esp in the US approach politics #'appreciating small cosmic ironies' i'd appreciate you shutting the fuck up #I've made a short post in the past about this website's obsession with karma/coincidence/narrative/fate #but it really makes it unusable for me sometimes. sorry for ranting #(link is an article not the rb chain itself)

I loved this scene so much. It was funny. Always nice to see the team relax and chill together after closing a case. It doesn't have to be so intense all the time.

Plus I loved how Scott said "Cam" here too. I always appreciate scenes with those two. Love their chemistry.

when will people realize that it’s perfectly normal and natural to speak a foreign language with a foreign accent as long as you are understood

#talking about non-native speakers judging other non-native speakers by their english accent lol #it's funny bc I've never met a native speaker of English who would have a problem with that #but polish speakers judging other polish speakers by their english accents? yep I hear it all the time #as someone who spent a lot of time studying english and polish phonetics & phonology I hate it when people do that because #most of the time they have no idea how different our sound systems are #there are only two sounds that are pronounced exactly the same way in both languages! #so it's extremely difficult to 'get rid' of your native accent as an adult #pronunciation is one thing and it's super important to get it right but #accents are natural and literally everyone has an accent #sorry for my rant but I'm just so done with ppl assuming that someone has poor language skills because they don't have a 'native' accent #whatever that is really

I'm sorry, but I find it weird that I should accept a love interest because she's pretty and not the standard type. Like really that's all you look at. I don't like them because they have no personality. They are good looking, but I don't really care about that if they are a blank slate. I don't need to see pretty people kiss if it means nothing in the long run.

Having love interest shove down our throats after a couple scene makes no sense. Hell at least Taylor and Ana had more build up than this crap.

What the hell is going on with politics this week? It’s as if they’re trying to ban Safe Sex. Like. Are you trying to have another baby boom and overflow adoption agencies and cause literally everybody in the country to suffer through unwanted childbirth and the sheer lack of money that comes with it? We have enough problems with money without that. Not to mention that I’m personally terrified if all of this actually happens. (Birth control only to married couples, no safe sex options, no abortions, etc.) Bc birth control can be used for things other than preventing babies (ex, endometriosis like I do personally) and ya know, preventing them while knowing you wouldn’t be able to physically survive that feat of giving birth. I’m fucking terrified they’ll get their way with this. And I know I’m not alone here.

Not to mention, this even goes outside of the more liberal side of politics (which should just be gotten rid of. Fuck these parties.) Like, I’ve noticed my very conservative family members actually agree with me: This Is Scary. Like i can say my extremely liberal statement about this and they’ll be like “Yeah, I wholly agree. This is fucked up.” And I know I’m not alone in this fear that being forced to go through this could potentially lead to my death. Especially with how absurdly hard it is to get procedures like getting your tubes tied or a hysterectomy. If you’re under 35, have no kids, unmarried, GOOD LUCK GETTING THAT. Because with the ways things are already, even without the current laws getting overturned, it’s near impossible.

Less than 30% of the country supports this. The only people who support it are the ultra-christian conservatives who seem to think that a ball of cells (further known as a fetus) is a living breathing human. When it’s not. That this parasitic cell mass has more rights to life than the one hosting it in their body. And it’s fucked up. If you support overturning this, you better be ready to take care of many many unwanted children yourself. On your dime. With your home and resources. But that’s already what goes on in those heavily Christian communities. I’ve heard of families with 10+ kids, over half of them adopted, in, usually, Mormon communities and if the kids don’t conform to their lifestyles, they’re cast out or abused. Nobody needs that unnecessary pain in their lives, for the potential mothers and for the children who couldn’t have a safe life in the first place. Even outside of those communities, there are already too many children in poverty, abusive homes, and stuck in foster homes to even consider something like this to happen.

Then one of these people pushing for this to happen had the audacity to say “If they really want an abortion, they can just go to Canada to get one.” Like. Fuck you. You may have the ability to drop everything and go to another country for medical tourism (which is already so painfully common), but most people can’t. They have jobs and families they can’t leave for the amount of time it takes to do that. They may not have a passport and god knows how long it takes to get one of those. Hell, they might not even have the ability to get a passport, whether it be legally or due to the lack of money. It may be an easy feat for those who are right along the country border up north, those who are able to take day trips up to Canada and already have the passports needed bc of just how common it is. But what about those in the other 95% of the country? Most of the places actively banning this are in the SOUTH. Imagine you’re in TX, found out you’re 8 weeks pregnant and have two weeks left to get your hands on one of those pills before it becomes an invasive surgical procedure. Your doctors tell you, “Canada can help you.” Canada is over a 12 hour drive north. That’s a two-three day trip even without considering the other issues it would take to get there. Then there’s money, and if you’re American, you’re definitely feeling awful about having to even go to the doctor bc it’s like three days’ work worth of money just for an appointment. Let alone the price of gas to get to the second place, or the money for a plane ticket, or even the money for a passport to even get through customs. And all within Two Weeks.

This is an attack on the poor. The rich will be able to hop about countries to skip the inhumane laws. All they want are more kids to grow up and be their army fodder and minimum wage workers now that they’ve noticed a slightly lower birth rate. Yes. Millennials and Gen Z aren’t having kids. There’s a reason we aren’t. We can barely afford to take care of ourselves, let alone a child. Which would cost $40k just to go to the hospital to give birth to, then hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars to feed, clothe, entertain these kids who weren’t wanted in the first place. And if they weren’t wanted in the first place, it’s likely the kids will end up in an abusive situation. And trust me, nobody wants that.

And now knowing that the actual vote to overturn Roe V Wade isn’t for another couple months is even more horrifying. The wait will be excruciating and filled with outrage. All it will do is increase anger and violence. You’ll yet again be forced to find out just who is supportive of those around them and who isn’t. People will be cast out, hurt, and arrested. 

This isn’t okay. We aren’t okay.

#taks speaks #long post #yeah. im mad #and yep. I'm VERY SCARED #rant over tho #the only good news we've had was the FDA going ahead and saying 'k. these pills are available to mail out' #but the fact that even that would be illegal in some states #which would force you to go around acting as if you're ordering dangerous highly illegal drugs #when its necessary to have available #now comes my curiosity to see if i could qualify for a hysterectomy just by having an ovarian cyst #it's not cancerous or anything dangerous but it does cause endometriosis #which is fucking PAINFUL and causes my cycle to be chaotically unorganized even with the help of birth control pills #hell my period is a week late right NOW #and with the tracking on period tracker apps im nervous that might be something that could be used against me #like 'your period was a month and a half late around here so you had an abortion obviuosly' #when my cycle is literally just a fucking mess and sometimes i can go half a year without a period #funny thing is too that i haven't had sex since like last fuckin june #like yeah its late. there's evidence there. but how tf would i have even been pregnant #esp when i also use birth control paired with condoms which is like 99.9999% not gonna get pregnant #???? this is just??? ugh. #i need to find a tracker app that doesnt have fucking trackers #i have a feeling NC FL and the areas around here are next for these absurd laws to pass #not even the blue states are safe rn and being in an all swing state area with these atrocities in control is ugh #ik i always say i want to leave the country but leaving is so unconventional with the money i have and immigration requirements #as much as i want to leave i dont think i'll ever get the chance to with visa requirements #i can't even go across the country its so fucking big let alone another country #*sighs* this is just depressing man

I thought I fell in love but it was just food poisoning.

#soup rambles #no really. i think actually it's both food poisoning and a new crush #I was on my first con since the pandemic and fell in love with at least ten people #it happens. #also an older friend i had a crush on came back to the city as well and we were hanging out and it was really fun! #like she was abroad and came nack to the country to stay and visited the con as well! good times! #but the main guy. the main crush of mine. he looks like a musketeer. with the moustache and wild hair #i laugh at my own crush. that's who i am. i judge my own taste cause its bad #but the guy was really nice and at least i spoke with him a bit and even know his name! #also. i am awaiting further contact from him! cause he was one of the photographers on the con! #he took a picture of me when I didn't notice and said something like 'gotcha now!' and it was the moment #the moment my heart decided yep he's cool. i wanna kiss him. or rather i want him to kiss me #either way. this rant is getting long and no one will read it but. i had to scream it to the world you know #and if i scream here there's a great chance no one will hear it #and about food posioning: I'm fine mostly. just ate meatballs and didnt notice they in fact weren't gluten free #so now my tum hurts. but I'll be fine! #I'll be wary of meatballs for the future. stay safe out here celiac gang! #(did i mention the photographer guy added me on facebook first??? idk i think hes kinda into me lmao) #(no he's probably not but a girl can dream shut up!!!)

If I were the pope I'd ex-communicate about 90% of Christians for not being Christ-like at all.

#reyna rants #yep just me bitching/fantasizing about power I'm unqualified for again #don't worry I'm not writing a novel this time #this post is already inflammatory enough

[iero]

Okay, but in all actuality, I find it so baffling that I’m a person that people look at and say “Wow, I really like them. I have a crush on them.” Like, if you have, or ever had, a crush on me, thank you and I’m sorry. <3

#personal #Possible rant in the tags. Sorry... #It's just like... I get it. You guys say I'm nice and funny and I APPRECIATE that SO much but that's literally all I got going for me LMAO. #Like I'm so boring and awkward IRL that it's not even funny. #I struggle to keep a relationship alive because I just... don't have anything to talk about. I work. I eat. I sleep. Repeat. #That's how my last relationship ended... They said I had 'communication problems.' #And it was just that I literally didn't have anything to talk about. #And that's a real struggle for me because it's like... #I constantly am between 'I don't have time for a relationship right now.' and 'I wanna be loved so badly.' #Not to mention the fact that everyone around me is already married/engaged/in a relationship and I'm like... #'Yep. I'm 28. I'm single and I already feel like I'm running out of time LMAO.' #This got emo so quickly. SORRY. #Maybe I just need to go to bed? 😅 #Gonna try and read now.

The amount of people who feel legitimately threatened by the Omori Daydream mod is hilarious. The amount of people who send the creator death wishes and gore and other nasty shit is very un-hilarious. -_-

Some of y'all are gross as people. Ew....

#starrspeaks #rant #anti vs. pro stuff #cause yeah we all know why this is happening #I'm tired of pretending I need to give a more mature response than 'ew' #just eeeewwww #it's such stinky dumbshit behavior #and also the people who perpetuate it are garbage #yep! #fuck you
