They called it Traum because Trauma would be too obvious

Well since yall have brought my attention back to my post, I may as well add another, and probably cooler reference. In the end, when Holmes arrives and Kitty basically comes to save the day, the background music is shortened orchetral part of the finale of Don Giovanni, which shows Giovanni's downfall and death, as he is being dragged into Hell to be punished for his sins.

(I still love the first one mentioned more as the aria is one of my favorites from Don Giovanni)

Also I would've just reblogged, but it won't let me add the clip lol

And also almost full story explained below

Just to clarify the basic storyline of DG. The opera starts with Giovanni trying to seduce donna Anna. Well lets just say that does not go according to the plan and results in Giovanni killing Commendatore, Anna's father. Anna and her fiancé swear to have their revenge on Giovanni and not to mary until the former is achieved. Giovanni tries to seduce another woman later in the story, also while being pursued by donna Elvira one of his many former mistresses, who hopes he will come back to her. Giovanni doesn't want to, since he just wants to vontinue with his not really a boyfriend material lifestyle.

(Also reffering to the beginning, everywhere is said "seduce" I would think it is not about seducing as he is just trying to escape from her fucking house while she wants to unmask him. And I won't believe she is just "so much into him that she doesn't want him to leave". But yeah, that on your own interpretation I guess, since many stage productions put it simply like this. In my mind she just stopped her assailant and she hates his guts for everything he has done)

So the ending comes like this. Giovanni and his servant Leporello are at the cemetery. Giovanni sees the late Commendatore's statue and invites him over to dine with him. To his surprise and terror, the statue actually shows up and offers him a handshake. Giovanni accepting the handshake and refusing to repent dies, being dragged to Hell. Anna and her fiancé eventually get married, Zerlina and her husband are happy together and Elvira decides to join a convent.

The subplot with Zerlina, the woman Giovanni wants to seduce and Elvira I will leave out to simplify the story, as well as some other things. But if you are interested, look it up, youtube has many excelent recordings of the whole production.

(I would reccomend an older one though, since it usually portrays the opera set in the original time period and doesn't include conceptional and contemporary direction and scenic elements, therefore makes it a good starting point for opera newbies. Nothing against contemporarily produced performances, but if you want to get familiar with the source material and don't want to pre-read everything, those can make it harder to grasp what is actually going on.)

Shenanigans in the Grand Order, part 789

Xu Fu: Lmao fat chance that the Reinstatement Realm Casters got through my spell that fast.

Reinstatement Realm Casters: *figures out her spell rather quickly*

Xu Fu: *surprised Pikachu face*

Looks like Xu Fu is being attacked by my beloathed, Kiyohime.

At least I can fight fire with fire (aka sending in Yang Guifei). :)

Wait what-

... Oh my god, they were from the Atlantis Lostbelt.

Looks like Don Quixote has had enough of running away.

And "Seton" also finally reveals himself! (Wasn't that surprising, really)

Well, that explains why you said that you were insanely weak back in the dungeon.

That would've been great to be told about that sooner!

15.24 Pressure Point

DEAKIN: You’ve got to make up your mind whether you actually want to be a good copper… or whether you just want people to think you’re one.

A great Tom episode, with him continuing to feel on the outer and making some questionable choices in his quest to be noticed. Chris, Don and John all try to be good mentors, which was nice—although trying to follow John’s advice turns out about as well as you’d think. It’s good how it emphasises the fact that Tom’s biggest strength is that he’s a kind and ethical person (as well as rather nerdy when it comes to random knowledge) which in itself is a reason for him not to fit easily into the CID team. And also a reason for him to cock things up when he tries to play by other people’s rules in the hope of impressing them. He’s only in his mid-twenties—a baby in CID terms—and I think the others should take that into account more.

Oh, and Ged Simmons in his third and final guest appearance before becoming Alex Cullen in s16.

Hi, everyone! I hope you're having a nice fall weekend. 🍂

I just wanted to share some BEAUTIFUL art I was lucky enough to acquire recently from two incredible artists 🎨

The first is one of my favorite pieces that combines two of my passions, one from my childhood and one since 2019: Peanuts and Bo Burnham!

Bo as Charlie Brown/Schroeder is just perfect, and I can't rep @lomleyo enough. She is an EXCEPTIONAL artist and also created my SUCH logo that I adore 🥰

I was finally able to pick up the Peanuts print because I needed to get the perfect birthday card for my best friend @ilickedthegardenwall on her 30th birthday—and BOY did Kat deliver on that one!

All of these prints and more can be found on the artist's INPRNT shop. Check it out! 👀

The second is a recent discovery on Instagram that blew me away: A Vincent van Gogh-style representation of Inside, with so many hidden gems from White Woman's Instagram (like an embroidered fox and dreamcatcher, for starters). Just AMAZING attention to detail!

I am an ENORMOUS fan of Vincent van Gogh (Starry Night is my favorite painting), so this image spoke to me immediately, and I actually reached out to the artist (Jakobi Holck Luke) to see if he would add it to his Redbubble shop (IncredibleHolck), which he did thankfully.

Fun fact: Bo has been compared to the troubled painter by Pete Holmes ("It's exciting to see van Gogh walking in the Mall of America"), and the lyrics to Vincent by Don McLean really sound like Bo imo (especially the intro and this last section):

Now I think I know

What you tried to say to me

How you suffered for your sanity

And how you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they're not listening still

Perhaps they never will

Anyway, I'm just in love with my new art pieces, and I hope you all consider supporting these two artists in the future! ✌🏼🐔
