I’m back in my Wolfwalkers obsession.
Anyways I made a tattoo design and couldn’t stop fucking editing it. Behold.

It would preferably wrap around my arm (unlikely, my arms are twigs) so I wanted it to read well with either girl in the front. Also made color versions

tsc characters and their fav 2024 best picture nominees
anatomy of a fall - ty, julian, sophie, cecily, cordelia
ty would love it for the murder mystery plot; sophie, cecily and cordelia bc they're girls that get it; and julian bc he has taste
barbie - charlotte, izzy, mark, kieran, ari, grace, jessamine
mark literally is barbie; kieran would also relate; what were ari, grace and jessie made for?; and charlotte and izzy are our resident girlbosses
the holdovers - kit, simon, james, clary, jesse
sad boys and daddy issues (aka the dead poets society)
oppenheimer - christopher, henry, emma, jace, gideon, gabriel, livvy
kit and henry love science duh; emma and jace love the adrenaline; gideon and gabriel are just dudes; livvy came for cillian murphy and stayed for cillian murphy
past lives - will, jem, tessa, cristina, magnus
this movie is about herongraystairs actually; magnus would have an interesting perspective on it as an immortal; and cristina just loves reflective and emotional movies
poor things - valentine, mortmain, tatiana
self explanatory i think
the zone of interest - alec, alastair, thomas
they are intellectuals who are simply correct
dru, matthew and anna would love saltburn more than any of these and would be mad it didn't get ANY nominations (they are me)
american fiction, killers of the flower moon and maestro weren't memorable enough to be anyone's fav

In the world of rock, Queen stands out as a good example of the clash between guitar and piano in songwriting. I think that’s where you stumble across those more unusual arrangements and chord structures.
In my heart I want to do more hard rock music, but at the same time, I’m much more attracted to the piano. I think that automatically causes something unusual to happen.
Also Smashing Pumpkins, even though they’re not piano-based. I always found their arrangements interesting, like on the album, Siamese Dream. In terms of guitar, I also like Rage Against the Machine and Jimi Hendrix.
But in terms of piano, I love Ben Folds, but to me, that’s a very different style of music. I love the low, heavy piano bit in “Jackson Cannery.” It made me realise if you want to get heavy, you have to get down there and hit some large chord.

Films good movies good banshees of inisherin was good
#mfw a movie has irish slang in it and i am familiar with it instead of usamerican stuff#i have Some Thoughts on the setting of inisherin + the time period given the givens abt the aran islands#but nothing concrete. might meditate on it#like ok im no scholar on the aran islands ive been there a couple times ive read a couple articles thats it#but like. the tourism leaning into their image of Old Irish Villagín With Sheeps And Stone Walls basically overruns its reputation#and the islands have leaned hard into the tourism and portraying themselves as True Irish Old Villages or whatever#and thus settles the situation where like. everything about the islands pander to the tourists#the islands themselves are not doing well as places to live iirc#aging population people moving away lack of amenities and funding and resources that arent Tourism#its a gaeltacht but the tourism business mandates knowing english etc etc etc lotsa shit#like i had a school friend from an island and she was always unreachable on breaks bcos the island didnt have wifi#SO! the islands around ireland suffer from lack of facilities while bending to tourism bcos they gotta#BACK 2 BANSHEES to be clear inisherin isnt an actual island but it was filmed on inish mór and very clearly based on the arans#i like the island setting bcos of the sense of isolation it gives i think it was a good choice for the movie#HOWEVER its like. you know the thing where all irish media needs to be set in the old times#when we were all wearing aran wool jumpers and playing our little instruments and being cute historical dotes#yeah. that. compounded with the aran islands wicked having to play into that in the present day#like banshees itself isnt that bad an offender. the island setting just makes it more obvious and you could tick lines off on a bingo sheet#(shoutout to the obligatory civil war reference)#where was i going with this. im tired of weird 'back when ireland was ireland' shit being Thee thing to make art abt#this is why young offenders is the best piece of irish cinema this decade. i need to rewatch the young offenders

More bodhrán. From this angle, you can see how the drummer is using their non-dominant hand to control the drum's pitch.

Daily instrument — Cláirseach
The cláirseach or Irish harp is the traditional harp of medieval Scotland and Ireland. The cláirseach has a large soundbox, a curved neck, an out curved fore pillar, 30–50 heavy brass strings, tuned diatonically, and is plucked by fingernails. The cláirseach survived through the 11th–17th century, but then disappeared. In 1820 a modern version of the instrument was created. It was more lightweight, used gut strings, and could be played chromatically.

Have you listened the second song for Ireland's NF? As someone who had to endure the Ray D'Arcy show (the Irish radio program where the songs are being revealed each day) with talks about mice, soup and stamps for an hour before any Eurovision mention; the song is something I NEVER EXPECTED from Ireland and yet...It gives hopes...
i’ve only heard the snippet of it, but honestly i can’t wait for the full version to come out. and i completely agree, i would’ve never expected something like this to make it into the tragic show that is the irish nf. yet here it is and i too have HIGH hopes!!

Got to the st patrick’s day episode of 911 and even though it’s probably accurate to location it makes me irrationally angry that the pipers are playing bagpipes instead of uilleann pipes

I present to you - my storyboards for 'The Four-Angled Whale', the origin of the Irish harp, according to Irish mythology! These storyboards are for an envisioned short film or animation.
Based on one of my favourite Irish myths, whereby Cana Cluadhmor invents the Irish harp based on a beached whale.
This is set in pagan Ireland, in a pre-Christian era.

Bobby is man of culture.
MORE BAGPIPES, because I bet Bobby likes to blow things.
