whenever people say shit like “i couldn’t be polyamorous, i’m so jealous and possessive. if my partner even LOOKS at another girl/guy i’m gonna kick them out of a window” i’m like well you should probably be working on that. like even if you don’t end up doing polyamory it’s probably good to not be like that

"Harrow regretted not making him take a solemn pledge of silence, to walk the place as the mute and intimidating bulk his father had been; but only a very obedient idiot of a cavalier would have stuck to that."

The first half-ish of "Why Gideon" or "Kyrie-ona" from my current project, a fan musical of Gideon the Ninth (based around Mozart's Requiem). This is a rough draft, and MuseScore does not do a very good job of simulating human voices, so please forgive any weirdness.

Cooked at the home of a friend recently and ALL of her knives were serrated. None were an appropriate size or shape for chopping. They were all dull. I entirely agree with these sentiments.

My roommate thought she hated cooking and then she moved in with me and started using knives that were actually sharp and realized cooking is fun. Sometimes I wonder how many other situations are like this. It's not you, or your skills. It's just the lack of correct tools. Everyone knows you need a knife in the kitchen but no one mentions a sharpening stone.

They’re scared because they know that the public is with Luigi.

They’re violating his rights because they need to maintain capitalism.

Keep talking about Luigi.

bf reading gideon and he just said "it would be so awesome if she wrote an alternate universe book where ortus went instead of gideon"

I'd like to share some of the progress I've made on my Gideon the Ninth fan musical based on Mozart's Requiem!

Firstly, I've made a tag for it under its tentative title, "requiem the ninth".

Second, I've finished the first draft of one song, "Why Gideon" (or, for an incredibly niche pun only accessible to people who have read through ntn and are familiar with the lyrics/naming conventions of the requiem mass, "Kyrie-ona"). It features Harrow, Aiglamene, Crux, and several ancient nuns discussing Gideon from their varying points of view, before transitioning into an "I want" song for Gideon as she prepares to escape the Ninth, ending when Harrow confronts her at the landing port. It's set to be the second song of the musical.

The first song (the one featured in my first post on the subject) is still in very early stages. Continuing the horrible pun train, I've titled it "Introitus Interruptus". I have been noodling about trying to edit a track I got off of the Internet Archive to fit my vision. Unfortunately, my grasp of Audacity is extremely tenuous. I think it'll be a better use of my time to just transcribe what I want in MuseScore.

But this all brings me to the real reason I'm making this post. Realizing I'm severely limited by not having an actual Requiem score to reference, I searched up some sheet music scans, and, reader, I simply was not prepared to learn the Italian word for bassoon.

So anyway.

There are so many beautiful colours in the world!!

If only the people who did the colour grading for fantasy television shows knew that :(

Okay but this is even weirder when you learn that EVERYONE IN THE POST-APOCALYPTIC WORLD OF THIS SHOW IS BLIND, except for a few people who hide it to protect themselves from persecution.

And yet, the clothes are dyed. Did they perhaps grey out the color grading to give the effect of colorless clothes? I doubt it, because as far as I understand it greige goods are cheaper than dyed and they would have saved money by making unused clothes. Also, in season three a blind character whose clothes were made by blind people 1,000 years after the fall of civilization wears a dress with an invisible zipper and you can clearly see it in this one shot, but who’s counting.

So much more I could say about this show but no doubt blind and visually impaired people have said it better. The costumes do have some great moments, though, like wedding cloaks made of fresh flowers.
