#Starling ramblings

[disney-is-mylife]

I don’t understand why people hate Snow White’s husband so much?!?!? It’s not like he’s a creep or anything.

There are two main reasons: Number 1, compared to the other princes, he's the most boring. The film was made in 1937, it pioneered film animation, so it's bound to not exactly be chock full of Complicated Characters, that's just the way it is. He's a product of his time.

The other is because ....... *sigh* the annoying online spread of misinformation that he's supposedly 28 or 30 or some BS and she's only 14 🙄

(Note: ahead, I'll be ranting at the Haters, not at you @cleverqueencommander ^^")

Here's the CANONICAL truth, peeps: NO AGES ARE EVER MENTIONED IN THE MOVIE. EVER. NOT ONCE. If it's not in the text, it's not Canon. We can only assume based off of visual hints.

Now, that said, is Snow White probably one of the youngest princesses? I'd say so, but only because she has that "baby face" and chubbier cheeks. Let's say she's 15-16. Okay. Have you SEEN Princey Boy's face??

LOOK AT THIS DORK. That is NOT a 30 year old creep, that is a BABY! He cannot POSSIBLY be older than 19!! I'd say he's 17-18, max, but he's most likely ALSO 15-16 like Snow!

Snow White and her Prince embody YOUTH and YOUNG LOVE. The spell literally calls for "Love's FIRST Kiss" to awaken Snow White. Not "True Love's Kiss." FIRST KISS. That goes BOTH WAYS, it's THEIR FIRST KISS.

They are precious babies who are each other's first love and I refuse to hear any more slander claiming "isn't he supposed to be 28??" when that was pulled out of someone's ass to make Disney Look Bad >.<

My personal experience as a long-time Harmony shipper: 50% indulgence, 50% canon "evidence," 100% trying desperately to respect canon (AND ALL OF THE WEASLEYS!!!) despite the popular fanon opinions.

Disclaimer: NO SHIP BASHING ALLOWED ON MY POST, PLEASE!!! I respect canon and canon ships! I’m just having memery fun lol

on signalis characters' voices (signalis spoilers!)

after playing signalis more than once and putting aside the overwhelming amount of feelings this game and its story can and will make one feel, it is easier to notice the more subtle details; e.g. enemies behavior, meaning behind documents and objects, and in this case, the characters' voices.

paying attention to the various living npcs you can talk to, one detail that stands out is that every character has a different tone of voice (similar to undertale).

i like to believe those sounds which accompany the text could represent what each character could sound like; one would expect, since replikas are basically copies, for them to have all the same voice.

well, that's not exactly the case.

here is a video with text and dialogues from all the npcs, without music to hear the "dialogue" clearly. (not all the dialogue is included, only one dialogue per character is present; except for elster as she does not like to speak much).

ACHTUNG: MAJOR SIGNALIS SPOILERS!

the dialogues are in chronological order:

-wounded star unit (STAR-S23?? is her name in the game files) in the aula before classroom 4C in floor B1, S-23 Sierpinski (elster included even if she has two lines);

-Isa Itou in the library, floor B1, S-23 Sierpinski;

-Storch Sieben (STCR-S2307) in the rationing office, floor B2, S-23 Sierpinski;

-EULR-S2312 (probably named Dezember given her number designation; eules in game like to use months as names, using the last two numbers of their designation as a reference) in the nurse station, floor B3, S-23 Sierpinski;

-Adler (ADLR-S2301), presumably in the elevator lobby in floor B4, S-23 Sierpinski;

-Arar (ARAR-S2318) in the vent below the Storch dorm in floor B8, S-23 Sierpinski;

-KLBR-S2302 in the library, floor B8, S-23 Sierpinski;

-Beo (MNHR-S2301) in the third room in the mines where monofilament stockpiles can be found, in the rightmost corridor.

-Ariane Yeong (and LSTR-512, still has an unbelievable amount of max two sentences at once) in the personnel room. floor B2, Penrose-512 (memory);

-Falke (FKLR-S2301) in her own room, found in Home.

you may ask, what purpose does comparing the "voices" serve? probably none, still i wished to know if they were the same sounds for every character or not.

here's what i could find out:

the majority of replikas have a different voice, with some exceptions:

-STCR and LSTR units have the same voice;

-as do STAR and FKLR units;

-a bit more expected, the gestalts npcs we see in the game (Isa Itou and Ariane Yeong) have the same voice.

now, for the fun stuff: by analyzing the frequencies which stood out the most in each "beep" from every character's voice, i could rank them from high pitched to low pitched ones.

again, has no purpose, but the result is actually delightful (to me).

here is the ranking:

1. kolibri

2. mynah

3. eule

4. isa-ariane

5. storch-elster

6. star-falke

7. adler

8. arar

pretty surprising, huh? i'd have wagered for isa/ariane to be in second place, followed by eules; also was expecting for arars to be just after the eules, and have behind them stars, then storches, then adler.

no one is surprised kolibri have the highest voices lmao, but mynah having an almost equally high voice was slightly unexpected but not unwelcome.

what's truly surprising to me is falke having the same voice as stars. i'd have expected something different tbh (stars being the lowest rank of protektors, etc etc, they're silly and stupid and crass; all things falke is not supposed to be).

elster having a deeper voice compared to ariane is the cutest thing ever! (as that post about them says)

that's probably the instance where you can notice the most that there is in fact a difference in most voices.

the funniest thing ever to me is that storches apparently have a higher pitched voice compared to stars, also arars having the deepest voice out of all replika is truly awesome to me (definitely fits).

here are to what musical notes the frequencies corresponded to, in the same ranking as before (visual rendering on a piano keyboard for fun i guess):

kolibri (G6 B6 E7 A7)

mynah (F#6 A#6 D#7 G#7)

eule (F6 A6 D7 G#7)

isa-ariane (F6 G#6 C#7 G7)

storch-elster (E6 G#6 C7 F#7)

star-falke (D#6 G6 B6 F7)

adler (D6 F#6/G6 B6 E7)

(adler has five notes as two close frequencies were distinct from each other, compared to only one in the "feminine sounding" voices. i guess that's how they made him sound different, by overlaying two notes)

arar (C#6 F6 A#6 D#7)

that's it! thanks for coming to my ted talk about signalis voices and listening to me ramble about them :)

So wait...you're telling me that there were going to be originally seven seasons of Hannibal before NBC axed it...? But surely all of those seasons couldn't have been about the adventures of Will and Hannibal the Cannibal; The Silence of The Lambs does exist after all. Fuller and Co. had to have known that there was no way they could outdo or even rival the movie adaptation...so wouldn't it have been neat if they had just gone 'fuck it'?

Do Silence of The Lambs but keep Will around. Why not? He's a fan favorite and Hannigram is canon. Maybe have him 'teach' or mentor Clarice (who WOULD be played by a biPOC actress, I don't make the rules), similar to the role Hannibal served narratively for Will in season 1. Maybe he's some outside influence who pulls the strings and tries to lead Clarice away from the truth, like Hannibal did with Will and the Chesapeake murders, in hopes of helping Hannibal break out of prison and running off with him once and for all.

With how much of the show deviates from the original novels already, the idea of there being this third player (Will) in a story so many are already familiar with is just very fucking intriguing to me. It would create so many damn good opportunities to subvert the audience's expectations, especially if the season(s) that were going to incorporate Lambs had heavy marketing playing on the iconic visuals and bits from the movie.

NBC, you will never see heaven.

pov you show up at the FBI and these two lowkey autistic agents are the best they've got:

[state-of-disorder]

As much as I would love more Hannibal content, season 4 would have ruined the series. Bryan Fuller said that he would continue the series and have Clarices story line apply to Will Graham, since Clarice isn't in the hannibal TV series and Will is like her replacement, which I think is royally fucked up since Silence Of The Lambs is about Clarice experiencing misogyny in the work place and how she reacts to it and constantly tries to prove herself which would destroy the point of the entire plot if you replace her with a man.

I realize I haven't said this, so let me do it now: this blog is a safe space for weird people. This is a safe space for plurals, systems (no matter the origin), alterhumans, LGBTQ+ people of all kinds, neurodivergent folks, the mentally ill, regressors (pet, age, or otherwise) and so many other groups I didn't list. Even if you're just generally weird or an 'outcast,' you are welcomed here. You shouldn't need to hide your interests, hobbies, or personalities just because it isn't 'normal.' I'm a Little Nightmares-obsessed creature who identifies as an omen of chaos and does quads around her house for fun. I'm not in a position to call people weird, and until you start to intentionally hurt people, you don't need to hide here.

You are valid. You are loved. You would be missed.

If you have nobody in your life you think loves you and would miss you, just know: I love you, and I would miss you. I may not know you, but that doesn't stop me.

Don't forget that. You are loved, no matter what.

You know you make too many memes when you LITERALLY DREAMED ONE UP jxlfnajdngsdngsd

[sailorstarr-chan4]

What does your fave Magical Girl series say about you?

Sailor Moon: You're 1000% a Basic Bitch and proud of it! This is also probably your first introduction to the concept of queerness and shipping. Cardcaptor Sakura: You hate dubbed anime. You also pretend the manga doesn't exist, and you're Multi-Ship Trash. Shugo Chara!: You had/still have a crush on Ikuto Tsukiyomi. Madoka Magica: Get help. Just.... get help. Tokyo Mew Mew: You definitely got your fetish from this series. Doesn't matter what it is; you got it here. Mermaid Melody: Your favorite Disney film was The Little Mermaid and you carried that into anime. Princess Tutu: You like your fairy tales like you like your men: Hot, Angsty, and Homoerotic. Revolutionary Girl Utena: This was your bisexual awakening and your introduction of becoming an anime "Snob." Yuki Yuna is a Hero: You're Gen Z or younger. Wedding Peach: You're tired of pretending that love and marriage isn't what you want, and really, who can blame you? Full Moon wo Sagshite: You love cancer stories and idol anime. It probably also awakened a few things in you... Magic Knight Rayearth: You have a thing for classic Good vs Evil, Rescuing a Damsel in Distress tropes, except you are ALSO a slut for soul-crushing angst. Plus, you die a little inside when people praise CLAMP's works, but never mention this gem. Little Witch Academia: Your first fandom was Harry Potter, your next fandom was Sailor Moon, so what better combination than this?! Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne: You went into it thinking it was like Sailor Moon, and stayed for the Lupin the Third vibes and religious discourse. Pretear: You 1000% make perverted jokes about this series. Iykyk.

I just realized that I never introduced you all to Katydid, nugget’s cagemate that we acquired over the summer. He was found under the hitch of a friend’s fifth wheel after they’d gotten to their campsite. Which is honestly really depressing because it means his siblings fell out on the way. But on a brighter note, he does not have spinal trauma, and he and Nugget get along wonderfully and banter like the sillies they are.

He really. And I mean REALLY. Likes baths. And he jumps on my hand to play in the sink water every time it gets turned on. He is stupid.
