antwerp real
#looney tunes#marvin the martian#art attag#you know sometimes I wonder like#if people who follow this blog but not my main blog have any idea what to expect here anymore#anyway I loveee little titbits and trivia about long-running characters and how they developed over the years#especially when there are noticeable differences between early instalments and their later more well-known versions#e.g. m.oominmamma didn't get her apron until the newspaper comics!#so learning that marvin's original internal name was antwerp is cool!!#which is such a fun name in itself!! bc not only is that said to derive from the myth of roman solider#it can also be read as a portmanteau of ant and twerp! marvin's cute for the alliteration and satisfying similarity to martian#but man that's a good bunch of wordplay#I also love consuming any sort of supplementary/promotional/concept material of things and finding out mel blanc once recorded a song#called ''antwerp is my name'' for like a stage show or something which is Likely lost media by now is#Such a shame#bc that was probably the only time it was officially used outside of chuck jones' personal notes before his current name was chosen#lost media my beloathed :(#not searching for it that's fascinating but just that it like. occurs at all#anyway hi I didn't post any art for over month thank you for reading my infodumping here#oh & also I know he's been shown without the helmet & he really is just a little bowling ball. but I want to believe

gamer poll
If you're sitting here saying, "Well, I prefer one way, but many games don't offer that, so I taught myself another way instead," I am asking about the first part! How would you play if the games you had to change your style for had just let you play it your way in the first place?
If you voted or are interested in the results, please reblog for a larger sample size. :)
#for the record i invert both the x and y axes. it's like operating a physical camera rig to me.#e.g. if i move my body/the stick to the left i want the camera/field of view to go right; if i move it down i want to look up#this is; apparently; considered sicko behavior.#polls#video games#gaming#yes i know some games' default IS inverted x and y axes. how do you think i got into this mess?

YOU ARE SO RIGHT ABT RUSSELL CROWE after hearing all the backlash when I finally watched les mis i expected him to be awful but like. He was fine. Yet I did not see nearly the same level of hate abt seth rogens pumbaa
i was ready to call you a comrade and hten you forced me to learn that seth rogen has played pumbaa
#anyway i really like rc. the live record fucked everyone badly and i think if they hadn't he wouldn't have been very impressive by contrast.#but i find e.g. his stars more moving than even some of the more technically skilled performances bc it feels very. idk. sincere. emotive.#miserable lesbians

on Astarion deciding to try and seduce you - if his approval is high, he genuinely likes you. You've known each other for just a few days but this is also the first relationship he's had in more than 200 years that wasn't based solely on fear or deception.
"It was easy ... instinctive." He wants to lock it down, to hold onto it, but he doesn't know why. On the surface he sees you as a point of security--you're providing blood and physical protection. The only way he knows to be able to secure that, to keep from losing it, is to seduce you.
"Seduce you, sleep with you, manipulate your feelings so you'd never turn on me." His intentions here aren't malicious. They're selfish, yes, but there's an earnestness to his selfishness I find refreshing, because he's not really being deceptive or dishonest.
#obviously i know he's not 'in love' with your character at this point#but the point i'm making is that he doesn't distinguish between having genuine regard for someone and using them#i got twill to high approval on like day 5 because he's a gullible fool#who is also kind of a huge bitch#e.g. astarion's prime target#excuse how scattered this is i'm just recording my thoughts#bg3#astarion tag#twill cavander

aw... there's a new lc! song and it sucks
#are bands i like getting more literal and less lyrically interesting as they age#or am i. i don't know. better? worse? more discerning? bitchier?#id assume it was me except that i still find new/new-to-me music p frequently that i think is interesting and surprising#it's specifically the recent discography of e.g. lc! and tmg that i think are. uh. bad.#they sound bad. the lyrics aren't very good anymore.#box opener#this wouldn't be a major thing for me except i have tickets for their tour next month. and i guess they'll be touring mostly this stuff#which. technically conceivable that the rest of the record is good and the single just sucks. but that seems unlikely somehow

just looked up the new rules for my old municipal pool and holy shit is someone on an HOA style power trip
#there's a whole section about how you can't bring your kids unless they live with you at your address full time????#bc fuck you to children of parents who aren't together and to parents with partial custody i guess???#they're like 'staff reserves the right to verify' with e.g. report cards birth certificates and school records#1) birth certificates absolutely do not establish proof of residency and 2) to reserve a right you have to HAVE a right#what's the source of that right? bc they're not citing to any statutes or ordinances or case law#and multiple of these restrictions are possibly unconstitutional? (state and federal)#they've apparently modified one blatantly illegal policy that they pretended was a covid thing#now it's probably still illegal but more fuzzy#ALSO. a day pass is $30 per person. it's a municipal pool!!!!!!!!

#the background to this is more involved than I’d expected#apparently the bar on federal government copyright only dates to the 1895 Printing Act#which was passed to stop the compiler of these volumes of presidential statements—James Richardson—from asserting copyright in the thing#but were *TR's* presidential statements uncopyrightable as of 1907?#not under the 1895 Act unless published by the government during his time in office—§52 only bars copyright in government publications#so the 1895 Act precludes e.g. copyright in the president’s messages to Congress (§73) and veto messages (by operation of Art. I § 7 cl. 2)#but—presumably—not privately published (i.e. reported) or unpublished presidential statements#(this was before the 1978 Presidential Records Act asserted government ownership over the president’s records)#and presumably not under the government edicts doctrine either#unless the statements were made in the exercise or discharge of the president’s powers or duties#(e.g. commands as C-in-C or directions as CEO or communications with foreign governments)#but otherwise? political speeches? speeches to the public? statements made outside congressional sessions? probably not covered!#so! 🥲 in fact and not just sardonically

the downside to having a film degree that i don't use (besides the obvious) is that i get too worked up about diegesis in my character playlists
#speak friend and enter#making a lost playlist. make your own kinda music is both diegetic within the canon of the show and metatextually symbolic.#meanwhile white rabbit is nondiegetic but pokes metatexual fun at the title of an episode and references a specific moment in the show.#if you care.#btw 'diegetic' = songs that characters can hear (e.g. a character puts on a record that then becomes the soundtrack)#'nondiegetic' = songs only the audience can hear (e.g. orchestral soundtrack) 👍

so i bought a record player and not to suddenly turn into this huge music snob or w/e the fuck but like. as much as i will die defending streaming music (bc there IS something to be said for having literally any music at your fingertips! digital downloads are valid! really fucking hate the way older millenials+ will complain about streaming like it destroyed music) like no one is wrong to say that there really is something different about physical music. like. turning records is different than streaming. putting a little cd in a cd player is different than streaming. something something the connection of physicality really does make the practice of interacting with art different. not better necessarily but different in a visceral way.
#liveblogging life#i feel the same way about physical books btw#i hate the term 'real books' bc the book is the story not however it's packaged (e.g. ebook vs physical)#but i'll be honest!!!! i prefer physical books. like ebooks are great and i love being able to carry my whole library with me#but! the physicality of interacting with a book makes the experience so different for me - and for me it's something i prefer#i didn't know for sure that i would feel the same way about music but i definitely do#it's been so long since i listened to physical music and this is bringing back my pure joy of listening to my cds in my discman as a kid#like when i would just listen to whole albums over and over again bc i loved them#streaming has lessened my ability to do that or want to do that but i can tell using records will bring that back for me idk#anyway i have many thoughts & feelings re: the way humans connect with art physically and our sensory attachment to art#a final note that setting up this record player took 10 years off my life it was so finnicky and didnt want to work at all at first lmao#and whenever my cats even walk near it it makes me nervous lol

asia kate dillon (voice acting and guest starring) as LOS-307 in moon girl and devil dinosaur 1x04 "check yourself"
("part one" only referring to posting the audio, b/c the mp3 file size is too large for a single upload here or on discord, and i refuse lossy compression) (part two)
#asia kate dillon#LOS-307#i.e. the episode is not a ''part one.'' though i suppose it's possible for them to feature again; presumably just Guest Starringly again#they work at your school now....you're friends 100%....spoilers but i mean. cmon lol#meanwhile their design is that [large black immobile rectangular prism] with a Cyan or Red geometrically expressive light / screen display#the design of which is very fun But their expressiveness is clearly allll through their voice so conveniently the audio rly stands alone#especially given that ofc audio of theatrical performances is limited....you love the recorded roles that get to be so Vivacious#as this one extremely is. they're simply very open / directly earnestly expressive through voice. works great =)#but also tbh while we get the Elevated & Boisterous & Theatrical side of the range; the vivacity also includes thrilling [unusually quiet]#nothing recording every wavelength of your voice / picking up on quieter delivery than anything done in a recording booth#e.g. their lively but so quiet ''casey?'' here like omggggg. kisses them on the prism#also ofc went into this like ''i presume the computer's nonbinary but not necessarily that that will be specified''....Well#going Gasp the narration said they Gasp they said nonbinary Gasp they introduced themself w/pronouns Gasp this is understood & related to#the human experience of gender / human nonbinary person / Everyone having a identity relating to gender & to pronouns....#the supercomputer Would Not Necessarily be nonbinary....their identity is presumably formed by themself here....#contextualized within human experiences of gender rather than ''oh you're nonbinary b/c you're a computer so ofc'' boo hiss#''whoever says computers don't have feelings hasn't met LOS-307'' = ''whoever says computers don't have genders hasn't met LOS-307''#i Do love them thank you. context is probably clear enough but they're a chess supercomputer wholly uninterested in the chess lol#and we are learning ''it makes it a bad time if you're overcompetitive / neglect the Amicable Social Component of a friendly game. b/c like#if everyone did that; what makes it a friendly game instead of just straightup trying to kill each other huh. & it'll be a bad time anyway'#& obv the tone is light enough but it's terrible this computer who wants friends Has to play chess & is left alone all the time cmon#but it's nothing like ''oh they're secretly evil b/c they're a computer'' or the lesson would mean nothing? they're Simply A Person here#also there's that Slight veneer of [computery sound] to their voice always but the glitching effect use is fun & creative imo#like it's just Varied and a bit Different. especially in part two here. the way words / several words get to Fully Repeat sometimes...#which; tumblr's help section (which still says beta editor doesn't Yet support audio uploads) doesn't say but if they have some like one#audio post per day limit or something i'll be exasperated

the levels of intertextuality this is on
#cover of let me go 2011 maverick sabre; which samples glory box 1994 portishead; which samples ike's rap ii 1971 isaac hayes#...and in this cover the pitch-shifted glory box sampled vocals are reinscribed as continuous w/the lead vocal melody#...AND the glory box string riff; which is a splice-and-dice of the ike's rap ii string riff; is reinscribed as continuous on vibes#this comes to mind bc i just found out st vincent(???) covered glory box live the other day (month)#and did sort of a similar move in making the portishead edits into a continuous string line#rly interesting considering the glory box edit branch of ike's rap ii sample genealogy vs. the ones w/o that edit#(of which there are multiple; see e.g. hell is round the corner tricky 1995 or alessia cara here 2015)#and the ig 'naturalization' of that edit as its own point of origin/reference in some cases#truly a wild scope/reach; feels almost like a recorded-idiom version of lament bass schemata#considering pitch ofc but also the associated affect w/all these tracks#which isn't surprising given the original lyrics & subsequent trip-hop/downtempo 'origin points' in portishead & tricky but yeah#Youtube#carol overreacts to music#carol overreacts to life#theorycomp tag#<<< I Guess.

New mates on the dash, should I attempt to resurrect some sort of a guide to the tags I use again? Because I am extremely disorganised but tumblr is Somehow Worse than me and so quite unintentionally, this tumblr has ended up being the most organised corner of my life. The repeated ones are mostly all searchable and have very specific purposes
#It’s almost pedantry sometimes but idk. I look for stuff sometimes. Other people look for stuff on my blog sometimes!#E.g. Muse [album name] or just [album name] if it’s longer than a word and definitely won’t be confused with something non-Muse#that’s for stuff about the album itself — artwork; lyrics; quotes about album themes/meanings etc.#Whereas [album] era is any stuff that happened during that period if I can place it#So ‘Muse Absolution’ could be that Lammo interview about the first time Hysteria was ever played on air#(which you’ll probably find on my blog if you looked for it)#But ‘Absolution era’ might be pics from/links to Glastonbury 2004. See what I mean#There are some grey areas obv. Some years weren’t really *any* album era. 2014 when they were recording Drones#but were officially done touring The 2nd Law#2017 and 2018 where they were like yeah Drones is done but they were maybe experimenting#with writing and releasing music without expectations of it being on an album (though eventually it did)#2020. For obvious reasons. Even this year; I’ve not been tagging it WOTP you may have seen#I had made a post about it at some point; it might be tagged admin#admin#muse band

guys… what if i expressed an interest in returning to that spirited away!cyno au…
#i haven’t written for him in a while#but#i was scrolling through the ideas tag which i made for it and it could actually be really fun to develop#i severely doubt i’d write out a whole equivalent to the film#i can’t scrape together another hmc-length au (not to mention the hmc i’m writing isn’t even based on the ghibli film but the book)#but writing a couple more scenes could be really fun#e.g. the opening scene where they find the akademiya and the reader’s parents are turned into shroomboars#scene with kamaji!tighnari and the aranara instead of soot sprites (yes i am making tighnari kamaji. it just fits.)#lin!nilou and reader doing an equivalent of cleaning the bath and helping out the river spirit#that kind of stuff#(for the record the tag my old brainrots are on is ‘#r’s random thoughts#because there are some decent ideas there and i’d like to return to them at some point

my mom really just let me collect all the used dryer sheets and store them in a plastic bag huh
#the context is i was at the time obsessed with trying to break an obscure and/or nonexistent guinness world record#and had not yet found out that collections need to be unique objects (e.g. garfield memorabilia shoe-themed things etc)#i had like 90 of those things and was very specific about them being used dryer sheets not new#anyway shoutout to my mom for being the only neurotypical in my family and putting up with us
