[ 2ND CHILDREN / 5TH CHILDREN ]
— The truth is, Unit 02 simply isn’t compatible with the other EVAs. (E14)
— I never imagined this boy could synchronize with Unit 02 without replacing its core. Quite astonishing. (E24)
Death & Rebirth Pamphlet / Cruel Angel’s Thesis OP / EVA-02 wiki / DEATH (TRUE ²) / E16 / E24 / DEATH (TRUE ²) / E22 / 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo Cover / E09 / The End of Evangelion / E09 / E24 / NGE Manga / The End of Evangelion
#neon genesis evangelion#nge#asuka langley soryu#kaworu nagisa#shinji ikari#mine#there’s something here that I find really interesting wrt narrative relevance#bc both asuka + kaworu r rly important thematically#point blank the show would be fundamentally different w/o asuka in it#but asuka exists outside of the ikari bloodline#if shinji dies there’s no show. if rei dies she’s replace bc she’s still necessary#asuka was incapacitated and they brought in a new pilot#all asuka wants is to be the most narratively relevant person in the room but she’s the least. she exists outside of the ikari bloodline#and so she ranks below shinji and she ranks below rei#unit 02 isn’t compatible w any of the other evas!#meanwhile kaworu is what kickstarts instrumentality. but if it hadn’t been kaworu it would’ve been smth else#he’s there for five minutes and then he’s gone. he shows up in glimpses#he doesn’t get to actually matter either not beyond a concept#i think there’s smth that ties them together there#which ofc makes their relationship to shinji fascinating#also lol I wasn’t going to include this as actually being anything but I do think it’s funny that 2+3=5 get it#2nd children + 3rd children = 5th children#im very funny#anyway where kaworu idealizes shinji well asuka has to tear him down#and in many ways this is for the same reason#all of the kids are means to an end. but i think asuka and kaworu r this the most#bc they could be anyone. Thats the thing#there’s no reason it has to be them. they could be anyone#the joke addition is ofc: feliz jueves vs quieres ser mi novio shinji?

good days aren't easy to come by
#simblr#ts4 legacy#valentine gen 4#fun fact for context on why i care so much abt him finally choosing to play the piano on his own#but it's gonna get Long so strap in#basically. the guitar he used to have had been with him since he was like...... my god. probably about 15#he bought it at a yard sale for pennies from an older woman#it belonged to her late son originally and it wasn't even . supposed to be a part of the sale in the first place. she just took a liking to#devin and figured that really it's better in the hands of someone who would use it than for it to collect dust in her garage forever#and he couldn't really practice at home. his parents... are not exactly the kindest people you've ever seen#he was too afraid of them destroying or throwing it away so he'd sneak off to god knows where and learn how to play it from old#youtube videos on his busted up phone#it quickly became Everything to him. his most prized possession. and it wasn't a shitty guitar either. the son was a professional musician#that's how ellie and devin met in the first place. he was playing at the market she used to sneak out to in the evenings to#and she instantly knew . this boy is going places and really they might as well go together#enough backstory of the backstory. long story short: he was struggling to make rent eventually and was out of vinyls to pawn off#so he had no choice left. it was either that or he'd get kicked out along with his sister. who was still struggling a lot w/ addiction#so he sold it. and it broke him. he's literally just not been the same since losing it#his sister stole him a guitar from a music shop she'd go to sometimes but it just wasn't the same and he had not played an instrument since#until now anyway#still not a guitar. but maybe someday#or he can find his old one and buy it again.........#lmfao if you made it here congrats. you win nothing bc im broke but i do respect you

the craziest part of the 2006 broadway revival of company is that the cast is SWITCHING INSTRUMENTS. not only are they singing AND moving to choreography AND playing instruments, they are doing this for multiple instruments. the amy actress alone has to be able to play a french horn AND a trumpet (she's the soloist in "side by side") AND act AND sing "not getting married". what the fuck!!!
#i'm not an instrumentalist or a singer but this MUST have been impossible to cast. right?????#the actor for david apparently plays both the sax AND the viola. WHAT THE FUCK#sb and l rambles#musicals#company#the best part of this though is how they gave the joanne actress all the percussion parts#it goes very well with her cynicism. she's participating but only barely. but also it makes so much sense logistically#i feel like joanne is the hardest part to nail (SORRY AMY ACTRESS YOU ARE INCREDIBLE THOUGH) so you can't ALSO require--#--yearslong skill in playing an instrument. multiple instruments. right???#there's a lot about company (especially company in 2006) that is uncomfortable and that i don't enjoy#i'm not looking forward to the fucking butterfly scene.#but this is incredibe. i could watch them do this balancing act for hours. this is the most impressive thing i've ever seen

i have some characters im struggling to design but they are mostly older heavyset men with beards so i sadly cannot fuck around in picrew to make them
#ignore me#if you are about to link me one: have you tried making a fat bearded man in it yet? if not: do not link#if it doesnt have a salt and pepper or greying at the temples option im not interestes#anyway i am making up some folk musicians. fletcher 'fletch' collins: nervous but well liked vocalist & accordionist#'trout' wiggler: strings & most woodwinds. no one know their real name. it might actually be trout.#slow loris: world's best washboard & otherwise improvised percussionist.#others to develop as i stir them in the soup broth of my mind.#also: The Instrument. guy who was a musician in the 1800s and got turned into an instrument by a bitchy wizard#he takes the form of a grand piano at first but can shapeshift into any instrument he sees. it's gross weird shapeshifting.#fletch finds him and takes him in and they get Weird and Gay

Heyo was scrolling through your blog and was wondering what bodhrans are?
it's a type of Irish drum – fairly large, flat, you prop it on your knee and play it with a beater (there are many kinds, as we saw). usually made of goatskin on a wooden frame
youtube
i am not a particularly good bodhrán player but i enjoy acquiring instruments as though this might somehow make me a) better at them and b) more likely to play them
#i have six instruments in my house and play at most two of them regularly#so you can see how well that's going#answered#anonymous

Y'all didn't get THIS statistic from your stupid Spotify, did ya?
Fun idea I had to add this information to my database record of everything I've listened to. Got reminded that Google Sheet's tools for graphs are dogshit (I don't have Microsoft Office anymore).
The pie chart is actually showing the total DURATION I spent listening to songs in each category. Male is a little bit over-estimated because I absolutely could not be arsed to go through and label every single Gorillaz song differently based on what collaborators were singing on them. Also, the % nonbinary is literally JUST Kae Tempest lol I love them
I genuinely think this level of male bias is caused by the music industry instead of my own taste btw, it could be a lot worse
#draco speaks#larsify wrapped#also instrumental is a bit underestimated again due to me only going to the album level for labelling everything separately but eh.#I like a surprising amount of bands with about equal contributions from a male and a female lead vocalist#van der graaf generator were like my 6th? most listened band this year and I maybe should've put them as 'both' as well#but I feel like whatshisname does the vast majority of the singing

I swear to God, modern music production is so FLAT that it physically hurts to listen to. There's no spatial depth to it, no air, no sense of this music actually being performed in a real three-dimensional space. Please can we bring back breath and air and space in music production?
#i've been trying to translate this feeling into words for months and i know i still haven't succeeded#this post is a weak attempt at saying what i mean. but it doesn't achieve that goal very well#i just... i don't have any better words right now#does anyone else know what i mean?#when there's a beat of silence in the middle of a song these days#the silence sounds just as 'dead' as if the track had ended.#silence can be audible and almost tangible... you know?#it can have a certain dimensionality and realness to it#but all of that gets edited out of most music nowadays.#and another thing: i don't know if it's over-mastering or what#but the sound is often almost as dead as the silence#like a butterfly trapped flat under glass#every sound comes across as being exactly the same physical distance from my ears#the sounds are all lined up jostling each other elbow to elbow and competing for the listener's attention#instead of being spread out all over the room - each one coming from a different place#i remember when you'd have two speakers; if one of them was broken you could sometimes only hear some of the instruments#because the others would normally have come through the broken speaker only.#SPACE. distance. physicality. ugh i could helplessly repeat these words all day and still not be able to express myself#don't mind the ranting of a grumpy old codger i guess#about music#tag rant#cosmo gyres#personal#text#my apologies - this post is extra autistic#my neurodivergency really comes out in the way i experience music#musicblogging

I’m so charmed by the donkey kong 64 soundtracks use of trombone
#So charmed by this soundtrack in general. it’s very fun#i loveeeee jungle japes and the dk rap#Dk rap is funny but also the way that song is assembled is really good. I love each of the kong’s verses being accompanied by a different#instrument with most of them lining up with the instruments they have as their instruments in game. (diddys guitar tinys saxophone lankys#trombone)#with donkey getting a trumpet because he’s the ‘lead’ and to round out the horn section and chunkys triangle being replaced with timpanis#From what I understand the midi trombone was done by modifying a midi for a trumpet they already had? they did a good job if true it sounds#super accurate I love the way the slides sound. they nailed the slides#i love the trombone. it gets such a spotlight on this soundtrack the trombone always ends up as like a weird middle child in horns sections#i love when people let the trombone take center stage#tinys saxophone is interesting to me the parts they write for it sound like the low register a baritone has but it looks like an alto or#tenor. always really funny to me when artists who don’t know instruments well do this with saxophones#From what I understand lisa from simpsons saxophone is a baritone? also just looks like an alto or tenor LOL#funny to me#i love saxophones

Anyway.... Back to what I was pondering earlier today... It's been 4 months but I'm still as deeply obsessed with Exotic Creatures of the Deep as at the very start
#00s sparks albums save me#save me 00s sparks albums#the question of how it's been 4 months already aside#i have decided to name this album my official Mental Breakdown Album TM#so it's a good thing that it doesn't really bring me any unhappy associations. even though it could#because when i started listening to it in early march#it turned out to become one of my lowest periods in the mental well-being sense. like. ever.#it's gotten better though and later i discovered that whenever i got into that slump again#and nothing at all felt like an alluring thing to do and even most music couldn't cheer me up#i still felt like listening to ecotd at least#sometimes you get into specific albums or artists at the exact right moment and this was one of such times for sure#i have so many thoughts about this album but if i tried to write them down#it would probably all just be an illegible mess. one day i'll do it though. or at least try to#as for now i can at least say that the possibly most suffering-inducing (positive) songs for me are strange animal and likeable#i'll never forget the moment i first heard strange animal as part of the from the basement set#what a SONG!!! and that entire performance changed my brain chemistry forever#and. GODDDDDKJHKEFLJMKBELKPJ... LIKEABLE!!!#the connection i feel on some metaphysical level to that song the melody the instrumentation the lyrics#is way beyond what words can explain. or i'm just bad at putting these kind of things into words#it's soooo oooughhggahgh.....#also i don't know exactly how it happened#but i can't believe etc immediately became my most listened to song according to my last fm (which i made around then)#and it has stayed in that spot ever since#ok that's my sparks madness talk for today. i'll probably never be normal about them. not that i even want to#sparks am i right. goddddd#goosepost

idr who it was but somebody I reblogged a post on a while back in which I dumped a bunch of random personal stuff in the tags if you see this this is for you 🙏🙏 also I’m lying I’m just a yapper
#I love turning tumblr into my personal diary knowing this will probably just get buried in the annels of my blog#I’m sure that’s not how you spell that but wtv#anyways grrrr I love men I love figuring out my type#I’ve dated three guys who all coincidentally happen to be relatively tall skinny athletic types#not an intended pattern btw it just happened like that#but now I am experiencing the true joy of variety#gahhhh I love body fat I love guys with body fat I am sick in the head for men who are squishy and have tummies and ass#it’s not my fault that kinda guy just happens to be the center snare in drumline it’s the curse of band kid I guess#holy shit I need to stop dating people in my band actually Jesus Christ it’s two already. see but like or I could collect the set#and go for all different instruments or categories#I’ve got brass (trombone) and woodwind (tenor sax) down#so like percussion?? mayhaps#our drumline is exclusively made up of three types of people for some reason#a) every girl is legit cool a bit masc and definitely gay (I know two personally and a third that fits the bill) and very skilled#b) very much oddball types who nobody in the band gets along with because they actively make people uncomfortable (hard to describe)#c) most grey-sweatpants straight guy you’ve ever seen who just happens to be reserved n semiattractive. looking at two of them in particula#(section leader and center snare specifically) third category hits hard#not my fault the center snare is stupid pretty and reserved and kinda squishy <- on the floor drooling#and like. a good snare#idk what happened to me but as soon as I became a musician people being able to play well became VERY attractive to me#curse of band kid once again#I’m genetically predisposed to it it’s fine <- raised by two divorced music majors#in particular an alto sax and the center snare are two guys that stick as me having a moment of like oh wow they’re *good*. haha that’s hot#alto sax is a killer jazz player and I’m psyched I get to trio with him and one of the drumline girls (my favorite tgirl fr)#although they’re both way better than I am so I’m really the weak link here#which is a hard asf sell given that they want me on bass <- I am a decent-to-mid rhythm guitarist at best#but wtv. everything I do I do for jazz#the most personal information I will likely ever admit to (I am lying I will vaguely yap about myself all day long)

HELP HES JUST 😍
(It would never happen even if we both wanted to bc he smokes but I went to school with him and have always been enamoured)
Visual Artist, fibre artist, Bassist, harpist(?), clarinetist, makes/produces own music (like do I want to smooch or just BE him?)
#shatters’ fragments#shatters nonexistent love life#yearning#and like it’s also been so amazing to get to see him go through changes during his transition too#and he’s on the opposite side of the country and moving out of country and just?!? so many amazing opportunities!!#I mean it’s also so funny seeing some photos like#ah yes. a frat boy if he were so queer#but regardless he’s like. really cute and also I kinda wish I looked like him too#when we went to college together he was at a different stage and set of pronouns altogether.#but I’ve just. always had a crush#(to be fair. I had a crush on the ENTIRE class I was in)#(art kids my BELOVED)#(most of them were older than me and several were married)#(but yeah. CRUSHES FOR EVERYONE)#and I felt so included#and it was before the pandemic so if someone wanted to smooch I TOTALLY WOULDVE#PUCKER UP CUTIES#Like. I am Not Kidding. if half the class wanted to be in a relationship together I would’ve joined in a heartbeat#I still think about them fairly often#I made the entire class a handmade card at their final exhibition and most of them messaged me to thank me and I’m just 😘 🫂 I went to visit#as well. bc I really wanted to see them each again before we parted ways#unfortunately many if not most smoked as well though 😔#not beating the smoking angsty art student allegations 😔#so actually I guess I wouldn’t. but I still. hmm. I just love them all a lot#brought to you by a video of him playing an instrument 😍

my piano class is so chill, there's only like 8 people in the class and everyone's super nice
#was nervous bc the class is REALLY fast paced due to the summer schedule#so i assumed most ppl taking it would already know how to play music#but only like half of them have music experience and all with different instruments from like high school band#and there's even a couple people who thought it'd be a music appreciation class or somesuch#so it's very chill and i don't feel like im super behind compared to everyone :) some of them know how to read music better but nobody knows#how to play very well.
