I finished Tecca's ref! I ended up going in an entirely different direction with his markings and kept the colors mostly the same. I'll probably do one last one for Null and their past lives and then I'm calling it quits, there are more Shimmera out there but I'm only making visual refs for the ones I want to commission art of lmao. Lore under the cut as usual.

Tecca is a Gyregan/Ektraa Faeng Shimmera; he takes care of local wildlife as a ranger of sorts on his ranch in the Northern Strata. He is very polite and humble, almost self-deprecatingly so, he's got quite a past for a Gyregan pariah and most of his more interesting stories take place in Vossilor. He doesn't talk much about his past, but you could piece some of it together if you listen to the songs he's written...

He also dresses like a goth cowboy and I also have to draw that at some point!!

Todays rip: 03/10/2023

Piranha Plantsom

Season 6 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume DQ

Ripped by Myeauxyoozi

Just last month, when covering Super Mario 64 Submarine Ending, I first discussed just how ridiculously good SiIvaGunner's ripping team has gotten at using Super Mario 64's instrumentation for rips. Hell, its far from the only rip of its kind I've covered here on the blog - Earth, Wind & Bombs, Harder To Breathe 64, slideless, Blessing the Dire, Dire Rains - and today's rip likely won't be the last of its ilk either. One could argue I feature these rips a bit *too* frequently, but...can you blame me? Super Mario 64 music is both essential to SiIvaGunner's legacy, and just exceptionally fun-sounding in its own right no matter what its arranged to. It feels like the clearest comfort-zone type of game to rip from, where almost anything you do with it is bound to sound somewhat authentic.

But I was aware I couldn't just feature any old Super Mario 64 arrangement once more on the blog - I had to find something to truly make this one stick. And what's something else I've harped on about on the blog almost as much as Mario? That's right - rips with "escalating" jokes, ones that keep building on themselves to surprise and delight for a rip's entire runtime. Such is best exemplified with Story of Undertale, one of the channel's best ever rips which arranges the entirety of Lady Gaga's bad romance whilst going through a majority of Undertale's soundtrack - in chronological order of appearance.

You put these two golden aspects together, and you end up with Piranha Plantsom - a full arrangement of Lil Tecca's Ransom in the styles of close to a dozen different songs from the Super Mario 64 soundtrack. While its unfortunately yet another song I primarily know from meme edits, its sparkling percussion sound always reminded me of that of a music box - the same kind of sound used in Piranha Plant's Lullaby in Super Mario 64. Its pretty likely this is what inspired Myeauxyoozi to make the rip to begin with, and the music box sound from the rip's first segment sticks around for many of the others - its a binding thread that keeps the rip cohesive, in a sense. As it moves between all sorts of different tracks from the game, both intense, low-key and zany, that one soothing little music box rhythm keeps them all unified - despite just being three notes, its what sticks with you after every listen.

Its something I discussed already in Plains of Des-passing-to, but I am genuinely so happy to be rediscovering my love for some of these music tracks upon getting to hear them in different contexts. I was never really one who paid much mind to Ransom when I'd hear it in various meme edits - the same way I never cared much for Despacito - but my overexposure to the tracks has undeniably made me somewhat attached to them, which SiIva's rippers so expertly prey on. Piranha Plantsom is more than simply a fantastic arrangement - its a loveletter to the entirety of Super Mario 64, a celebration of a great source track, and a display of Myeauxyoozi's seemingly endless pool of talent.
