**VOLUME WARNING JIC**im not too confident on my own volume leveling yet but y'know, watch out jic :´)**

So I feel savage right now and lost my filter for leaks music-wise, here's a snippet from one of the songs I'm planning to use for Week1 Really Gangsta, featuring LoganMcOof's Pico soundfont, the Jagger (CE Alter!Jake) soundfont I made for this week and a sidesong for smth else, and an Ellenwood Area sample (god help i don't lose my integrity over copyright, imma pray).

This is my first time composing on FL Studio (suggested by one of my fellow friends who's into musik), specifically on v.12. Don't get mistaken though, this is not the first version I've done of the song (it's the V3 so far) nor is a definitive (as you'd guess), there's still things to be checked out before calling it an official release (aka when the WEEK ITSELF is uploaded...which is gonna take a while but yo, I'm tryna do my own thing too here kay? There's stuff to do for CE aside MAD charting and all that jazz -creditwillstillbegivenwhereitsduethofairuseisabigdeal)

cool art thumb just to give hints and bc hey, i'm an artist, even if it's just a rough sketch i'm gonna put it here for the sake of it

Giovanni and his boys watching the Barbie movie

[angelmichelangelo]

mutant mayhem headcanons because i am unhinged here we go:

donnie is a late bloomer (an explanation why he’s the only brother that hasn’t had his voice broken yet) and ofc in true brotherly fashion the others absolutely rip into him about it

raph told mikey once as little kids that the reason his head is shaped like a watermelon is becuase splinter dropped him on his head as a baby and mikey cried so hard he threw up

leo and donnie are HUGE anime fans. they LOVE dragon ball z and once splinter found the live action movie dvd in the trash and brought it home as a surprise and leo and donnie had to pretend they liked it so now raph and mikey tease them both and make them watch it with their dad even though it’s SO painful (and ofc splinter is oblivious lol)

raph got his front tooth knocked out after he was certain he could skateboard across a sewer pipe upside down on his hands (he could not)

mikey and donnie prank call random businesses together they find in the yellow pages and are really good at doing voices

raph is a big fan of jackass. and it shows. he often times ropes mikey into whatever stunt he’s trying to replicate

they all have wrestling personas after watching old WWE together. leo is Consequenzes, raph is The Red Fury, donnie is Bone Crusher 2000 and mikey is Captain Die - they picked them when they were like, 9 and there’s no take backs

mikey and raph spray paint the tunnels together and make some pretty decent art. splinter is fine with it as long as they don’t make anything crude, which, as teenage boys, they absolutely do. there’s a tunnel deep in the sewers that just says ‘BOOBS LOL’

mikey is one of those kids that’s amazing at any school subject, he just doesn’t care for learning so he doesn’t apply himself at all

raph is second most smartest next to donnie. he plays chess with donnie, and he says it’s only because nobody else can or will, but he secretly enjoys it

leo is dyslexic as hell. it frustrates him, as a perfectionist, but his brothers often help him when he’s struggling

splinter made them their weapons! but raph went behind his back and sharpened his sais without him knowing (cos a sai is supposed to be blunt but ended up in donnie’s leg somehow in the trailer so. ouch)

mikey and leo both have braces, leo just wears a nighttime retainer. after raph knocked his tooth out, donnie went about bragging that he had the most perfect teeth out of all his brothers

they’re all HoH (cos their turtles and turtles have terrible hearing above water) which is why they constantly talk loudly and over each other and splinter who has great hearing, because he’s a rat, has to put up with this lol. and they don’t know they’re HoH until later on when they’re older and donnie is like “oooohhhh right yeah that makes sense”

donnie has terrible vision, being shortsighted, he’s tried to create contacts for himself in his prescription for fighting convenience but has been pretty hesitate in creating something that goes inside his eyeballs

they made a band together called Chemical Terrapins even though none of them can play instruments but they do have one of those tiny baby toy keyboards that they found in the trash once and they all fought over who was gonna play it.. until they realised their hands were way too big for the keys lol

leo totally chose the name of the band because he’s an emo kid at heart </3

splinter taught them both english and japanese but they’re not entirely fluent

The Game hits differently as an adult than when it did when I was a kid.

Back when I was a kid, mobile games were still in their infancy. Like yeah, there was Snake and Bounce, but that was pretty much it. A mobile phone had the games it came preloaded with and while you could get new ones online, most people didn't. And while there was still that phenomenon of annoying little kids going up to random adults and asking if they had games on their phone, I feel like it wasn't as common.

For the most part, mobile gaming hadn't really gotten to the point where it was psychologically addicting the same way it is now. That kind of thing only really started up when I was in high school. Even then, I tended to write off the "oh, my mum's addicted to Candy Crush" stuff as just a meme-y thing rather than an actual phenomenon. It's really only been in the eleven-ish years since I finished high school, and mostly in the last five or six years, that I've really been aware of people getting super addicted to mobile games as a thing. (This isn't to say it wasn't happening at all before then; just to say I wasn't as aware of it before then. Keep in mind that I live under a rock.)

The other thing here is that back when I was a kid and watching The Game for the first time, it wasn't really as acceptable for people to just sit there on their mobile for hours on end. For a long time, the mobile phone was seen as a thing you had for emergencies only, and even then a lot of people wouldn't bother to take it with them when they left the house.

This did eventually change around 2009 or 2010, when even less well off people could get a mobile phone that wasn't just a Nokia brick that was really only good for texting and calling people. Once that happened, people started using them more. But before that? Nah, not really. The Boomer cartoons from the mid-2000s about Millennial teenagers always being buried in their phones were either making mountains out of molehills or based around the one kid they knew who was a bit more of a social butterfly.

So the first few times I saw The Game, I wrote it off as just being a product of its time. When I thought of video games at the time, I was mostly thinking of console games, not of Snake. I dismissed the idea that someone would get addicted to a video game as being something that didn't really happen that much outside of a few edge cases here and there where maybe a guy died at his keyboard after playing World of Warcraft for a week straight, and even then I thought it was mostly because they had no life outside of it.

Nowadays though, I think it was weirdly prophetic, and I'm not entirely sure the writers on that episode fully realised that at the time. People really are getting addicted to mobile games (and, to some degree, MMOs) much more than they used to, and that's largely by design. Those games really are designed to be addictive.

So while in 2007, I wrote The Game off as being a wonky fantasy written by a generation who were maybe a little bit out of touch, now I realise they were probably on to something. The idea that someone might design a game to be extremely addictive and try to weaponise it somehow doesn't seem as farfetched now as I thought it was back then.

More to the point, there really are people out there who'll do remarkably stupid things because of an online game. It doesn't have to be some propaganda campaign or anything like that; they'll just be mad that a certain part of the game isn't realistic enough. War Thunder in particular has a bit of a reputation for this--there's been multiple military personnel from multiple countries who've leaked design specifications for their country's tanks online because of the game. I wouldn't be too surprised if most spy agencies have people keeping an eye on message boards related to it just because of that.

I don't know if I necessarily think The Game is a good episode. Of the Wesley Crusher episodes made after he goes to the Academy, this is the only one that really falls into that "Wesley the wonder boy" trap a lot of season one episodes had where he'd be pivotal to saving the day. It's still a more interesting take on that concept because it's ultimately Data who does it rather than him, but that honestly could have been incidental more than anything.

What I do think, however, is that it's an interesting episode. It's the kind of episode that's definitely made me think as I've gotten older. My opinion of it now is that while it's not really the best episode, it is good science fiction because it was remarkably on point about the general direction society was going to go down and it inspires thought.

the period from thanks to news is jazz season. I'm going to make you listen to jazz fusion albums I like.

this one has a cool owl on the cover

I also don't like how a lot of these albums just have the composer's name and not any of the rest of the musicians on the project, so I'm gonna stick the full credits from rateyourmusic under a read more

A Shadowy Mist Chapter 46 (Transformers Animated story)

Pairings: Prowl x Oc, Bumblebee x Oc, Optimus Prime x Black Arachnia, Oc x Oc

Summary: The Autobots are off to rescue the Yokaiton princess who is fighting with two Decepticons.

Location: Central Detroit

Princess Stella was fighting against Blitzwing and Lugnut. She was already in her true form, her ears were longer than Flora's, her skin was a light pink, her hair was long and white, and her purple eyes had stars for pupils. The magic staff she was using in battle was then knocked out of her hands by Blitzwing on his aggressive personality. "Oh, sleez!" She cursed as Blitzwing switched to his calm personality. "Better surrender now, Your Highness." He said before being hit by a familiar axe that swung back to the one responsible's servos. "No one is surrendering today, Blitzwing!!" Optimus said as he and his team came just in the nick of time. Skya ran super fast and grabbed her friend's staff and Stella as she raced back to the team. "Anges Have Fallen, Mary, check for civilians and make sure they don't get too close." Meagan commanded as the band Angels Have Fallen and Mary went to make sure that no one gets hurt. The Autobots attacked the two cons with the help of the other agents, and surprisingly, the Yokaitons. Flora created some vines to whip at Lugnut at the legs. Skya flew up to punch Lugnut in the face. "Insignificant little pests!!" Lugnut yelled before he was zapped by Bumblebee. Prowl fought alongside Bumblebee with Shadow Mist and PixelSpark. The two cyber-ninjas used their weapons. Optimus, Ratchet, Bulkhead, Crusher, Grim, Princess Stella, Diamond, and Meagan fought against Blitzwing. The fight against the two decepticons raged on. Until Blitzwing and Lugnut got a call from Megatron and retreated in their aircraft modes. "Yeah, that's right!! You better fly losers!!" Skya said mockingly, making Bumblebee laugh. PixelSpark looked confused about the Decepticons sudden retreat. "Aw, I wanted to use the sparkle cannon more." She said sadly. "That wasn't them flying away. It was a tactical retreat." Optimus said. Meagan looked at the Yokaiton princess. "Ok, um, I'm Meagan, and you already met my friends, and we met yours. So mind telling me why the decepticons were after you?" She asked politely. The princess sighed. "We overheard them talking about resurrecting The Fallen. We have no clue what they meant." She said. "And they went after us for eavesdropping." Skya said. "We hid in the city hoping to find some help." Flora said, "And that's when we encountered all of you." Diamond said, "But you were nicer than those two brutes." She added as the Autobots looked concerned while listening. Stella looked at them with confusion. "What's wrong?" She asked as Shadow Mist sighed, "The Fallen is known as Megatronus. He used to be one of the original primes before his desire for power and chaos drove him into betraying his brethren." She mentioned as she got an alarm from the Hideout saying someone had broken in. "The Hideout's security mechanism just went off!" She said as she and the other Autobots transformed into their vehicle modes. The agents hoped on as the Yokaitons joined in as drove off towards the Hideout.

At the Hideout

As they made it back to the Hideout, Shadow Mist quickly went to her room to check her computer and saw that her notes were copied from it. She slammed her right servo on the computer terminals keyboard in anger. "PRIMUS DARN IT!!" She yelled in rage but then calmed down and walked out of her room with a worried expression. Prowl walked to her to comfort her, "Shadow Mist, what happened?" Optimus asked. "Someone copied my notes." She said sadly. Meagan looked at the security cameras and saw a decepticon sneak in on the screen. "Um guys, who's that?" She said as they saw someone that Bumblebee wished he'd never wanted to see again. "Shockwave." He said as he remembered how the decepticon agent tricked him to thinking that Waspinator aka Wasp was a decepticon spy during his boot camp days. "Now, what do we do?" Bulkhead asked in worry. "We keep fighting and prevent the decepticons from resurrecting Megatronus." Optimus said. "I couldn't agree more." Meagan said

At the Decepticon lair

Megatron stared at his two colleagues who were on their knees. "We apologize, Lord Megatron. The Autobots rescued the yokaiton princess before we could bring her to you for interrogation of what she and her friends heard." Lugnut said in shame. Blitzwing, in his calm personality, got up. "And the Yokaitons fought alongside them." He said, as Megatron raised his right servo, for he has heard enough. "Despite your failed attempts to make sure the Autobots don't know of our plans. It was not all in vein." He said as Shockwave came out of the shadows with a device that has the copied notes from Shadow Mist's computer. "We are indeed one step closer to our goal." He said darkly.

Epithet Erased Band AU I thought of while painting shit at work-

Giovanni and his boys form a garage band where they make rebellious rock music about sticking it to the man

Gio is the lead guitarist, Spike is the vocalist, Flamethrower’s on bass, Car Crash plays the drums, Dark Star is the backup vocalist, and Ben’s on keyboard

Crusher is their roadie

He met Molly while handing out flyers for his band’s gig at the grocery store

She kept the flyer, even though she was hesitant about going

Trixie found out her dumb cousin invited her friend to his gig and they went with Molly. It was passed Phoenica’s bedtime so she couldn’t come

Molly actually liked it a lot more than she thought she would. Sure it was loud, but she actually liked watching the band play

Trixie took her to one of Giovanni’s practice and now Molly’s their biggest fan

She goes to their practice sessions when she can and Giovanni even promised to teach her how to play electric guitar

Obligatory Battle of the Bands plot line!

Ben hears about it and tells the others

It’s being held in this coffee shop as a way to draw in more customers

Winner gets some cash prize and some people involved in the music industry will be there

Meet the cast!

Mera makes techno music, Indus helps her with her equipment

She’s there for the cash prize

Bliss Ocean is this fairly known alternative group, but known for all the wrong reasons. Every member has been to jail and no one has seen their mysterious manager who always seems to bail them out of trouble

They’re not there to compete, Zora has beef with a music producer going to the show and she wants to ruffle his feathers

Ramsey is gonna get his feathers ruffled. He worked with Zora back in the day and it did NOT go well, now they’re in bad terms and she’s always bothering him. He just wants to find a new band to pitch to the label he works for so he doesn’t get fired

Rick came there with Yoomtah and somehow ended up joining the competition. No he doesn’t play an instrument. This will be interesting

Sylvie works at the coffee shop the battle takes place in. He doesn’t care for any of this, as he prefers classical music, but it’s drumming up business. Besides, it was his boss’ idea.

Bugsy and Arnold are the lead vocalists of their own band. They only really formed their band for the fame, and are hoping some big music people will want to sign them

Howie is a roadie. He’s just there to help any bands who need assistance moving stuff.

Percy is a cop who’s familiar with Giovanni’s band and Bliss Ocean. Bliss Ocean because of their reputation, and Giovanni because his neighbors keep calling the police due to noise complaints. She’s iffy on him, but at least music is a constructive outlet for his teen angst instead of shoplifting or loitering

She’s also friends with Ramsey, no real reason why I just care them

Naven is also involved in the music industry, though as a manager for a few different bands. Recently some tabloids have snapped some photos of him with Yoomtah Zing, Bliss Ocean’s drummer, and rumors about them are going around.

Molly becomes the band’s unofficial junior roadie during the battle of the bands, leaving a lot of her chores and shifts at the toy store to be covered by Lorelai- who is NOT happy about this

I like band AU’s-

[queer-ragnelle]

omg i forgot tomorrow was the start of nanowrimo.

i can’t commit to that while i’m currently editing a novel but also if i added 50k words to that i would have to be jailed without keyboard access. like i wouldn’t resist that would be fair punishment for my own sake. how long are these books gonna be i’m not brando sando & i don’t want to be but i’m obsessive enough about writing that i could easily make these books chihuahua crushers. if i wanted. my accountability partner wouldn’t be encouraging me to write they would have to make me stop. pry me away & duct tape oven mitts to my hands like a kid with chicken pox so i can’t type. i’d be mad but eventually come to understand the necessity. for my own good. for my reader’s own good.

Animorphs #32 - The Separation

The terrible book where Rachel morphs a starfish, gets cut in half, and then the two halves demorphed into two separate Rachels.

Yo, to be fully honest I thought the entire back half of the book was a Chee-orchestrated psy-op to get the two Rachels in a specific place in a specific morph for the recombination plan. Am I crazy or was that what was telegraphed, informed by the previous psy-op pulled by The Animorphs to trap David in a rat morph??

Ax is like "hmm, there's one possible solution that might be just crazy enough to work... 🤔🤔🤔 (Or maybe they'll just die idk 🤷🏻‍♂️)"

And then they just drop it entirely and move on.

And I'm just like, okay cool, we're doing some Unreliable Narrator type stuff. The other Animorphs are deliberately misleading the two Rachels to manipulate them. There's clearly some slight-of-hand stuff going on behind her back, can't wait to see the reveal. There's no way that this split-the-party plan is legit, with Jake forcing Wimpy!Rachel to morph a cockroach before she's knocked out and stuck in a box, and then Visser Three turns up to deliver a moustache-twirling, I-have-you-now,-mwahaha monologue at them while both the floor AND the rear wall of the room they're trapped in start descending/advancing towards them simultaneously; followed up by Jake going "and that's why you always leave a note! the moral of this little misadventure was demonstrating that you two Rachel halves DO need each other after all!"

But, uh... nope!

Those are the actual events that actually happened! Physically-implausible-garbage-crusher supervillainy and all.

And Ax's so-crazy-it-just-might-work scheme is that they hold hands while morphing into each other while Erek gives them a very powerful electric shock. This somehow works, somehow. I fucking hate it.

[ALSO EREK THAT IS 'DOING VIOLENCE' WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING MY GUY?!]

Less stupid suggestions that I thought of in like twenty minutes of thinking about it:

They both go cockroach, give each other a cockroach hug, then they get stepped on together so the goo intermingles, then they demorph together into one Rachel

Same as above, but with starfish morph, somehow

One Rachel morphs into a Yeerk and infests the other Rachel. Yeerk!Rachel morphs Other!Rachel into something, Erek gives them an electric shock for good measure to break Yeerk!Rachel's command over their shared consciousness, and then Other!Rachel takes them back out of the morph while focusing really hard on being a fully human, Yeerk-free, version of herself

Heck, create an Ixcila of both of them, and just create two fully-integrated Rachels. (Then one of them dies in a Heroic Self-Sacrifice or something idk)

The gang gets Erek to take a look at The Escafil Device, and he shows them the keyboard shortcut to bring up the developer console, and it just has a hidden setting in there to automatically fix this issue (because to the Andalite engineers this accidental-duplication issue was a known bug [solved with either a technobabble solution, or with a more low-brow solution involving taking an Ixcila snapshot of one Rachel's consciousness, integrating it into the second Rachel, and then a miniature Shredder emitter pops out of the cube and just vaporises the first Rachel lol])

And finally, good old fashioned Deus Ex Machina: the Ellimist fixes it with time-travel shenanigans.

[muggys-workshed]

I'd make a "bro what the f who meddled with my fnf gamefile what is this 😭" for this but man the post rush drained me so hard i'm out of funny gas

Bitch lookin kinda dope tho, check out that flare

Sound Assignment

For my final sound assignment, I made a snippet of dialog from a hypothetical shitty 90s game. I was inspired by a clip of me testing out a new midi keyboard from a while ago. It reminded me of a whimsical 8-bit  video game, so I took that and ran with it.  

The “my voice” element is my voice, which I ran through a bit-crusher plug-in and then saved with a low sample rate for good measure. My original recording is the midi backing track that I just looped several times to be the proper length. I couldn’t find a sufficient barking sound effect so that is also an original recording. My sounds from the internet are the chimes that play at the beginning of each dialog section, I ripped that from an existing upload of game dialog sound effects and just pitched it down. There's also an “item acquired” sound effect right at the end there that I got off a youtube compilation.
