Каков список желаний Романа?

О мечтах Ньютона, наверное, давно все знают. Но, мы думаем, что не будет лишним рассказать о них подробнее.

Номер один в списке желаний Романа — конечно же семья. Он всегда мечтал о жене и детях. Но сейчас образ семьи мечты стал более конкретным. Это горячо любимая им Агнес Флейм, их дочка Хелена и, конечно же, мама Ньютона — Хоуп. Они будут жить вчетвером в большом и красивом доме. Не знать нужды, печалей и потерь.

Ещё одним обязательным пунктом в списке желаний Романа является работа. Он хочет быть успешным программистом в какой-нибудь богатой компании. И желательно, чтобы работать он мог не только в офисе, но и дома, где у него обязательно будет свой кабинет с мощным компьютером.

Имеется у Ньютона и пункт в списке, который, кажется, у него и так есть. Это крутая машина. Но наш мистер Оптимист хочет ещё круче. И чтобы на этот раз он сам смог на неё заработать, а не получить в подарок от Сальмы.

Да, Роман мечтает добиться всего сам. Ну чтобы больше никто не смели упрекать его в лени и безответственн��сти. И раз уж мужчина искренне этого хочет, то мы поверим в его силы и поддержим в стремлениях. Кроме тех, что противоречат желаниям других людей. А точнее Агнес, которой дети не нужны. Но мы надеемся, что Ньютон сможет довольствоваться и тем, что сможет получить. Особенно если сам на это заработает.

EWY BIG Q&A

hi!! recently i did a q&a on instagram about SLAD. unfortunately (or fortunately?) there were too many questions to answer purely on instagram stories without spamming. here's the ones i couldn't answer on instagram, answered here!

MERLOT, both in terms of my favourite composition and performance

my partner and i were on a break whilst they were studying abroad ("we're only on month 1 of 4"). I just kinda word vomited my feelings. I was feeling pretty depressed at the time I wont lie.

yes i DID!!! this EP was MADE for fun. i wrote the songs specifically to make fun songs to play live. (aside from HOLLOW DRUG)

"And I could be displaced from my home And it could be seen on all your phones Is it real? Or is it fake? Look close, do my arms look like legs?"

probs the most lyrically dense I've been?? i'm not sure.

first of all, thank you so much!! second, some songs i write it all in one day but others can take a week or so before i'm fully happy with how its sounding. that being said, i always end up changing something before recording (usually around a month after writing, but in the case of MERLOT, that was recorded only a week after writing).

if i had to just name one, it'd be Nirvana. I wrote a 3000 word essay on In Utero for uni and that genuinely inspired me to make these songs. I really loved how Nirvana performed and I thought 'man, if only I had songs like that where I'd have an excuse to go crazy' other influences would include Jeff Rosenstock (my #1 fav artist) and PUP (greatest live show I've ever been to) btw, thank u sm!!

yes,,, very much

unfortunately i havent learnt proper scream technique so all of my screams were done at the very very end of my recording sessions. i think it worked out because that meant i had a lot of pent up frustration

i will start by saying my uni lets me hire out all of these microphones for free (if you don't count the student loan) vocals: SM7b & RE20 (only on sociopathic leech) guitar: AKG C414 matched pair (acoustic and electric) bass: my takes were originally done with an RE20, pretty sure fern just DI'd drums: Audix DP7 + SM57 (for hi-hat) + C414 for room mic's

i'll try get this done tomorrow!

i was in a guitar lesson at uni and we were talking about chromatics in the blues scale. my guitar teacher suggested i try to make a riff using the blues scale and particularly the chromatic part. that riff ended up being the middle 8 section of RIGHTS TO MY WRONGS. the rest of the song basically acted as a vessel to transport this breakdown middle 8 section. hopefully it doesn't come across that way !!!!!! but that was the main idea.

it felt very natural. i'll probably continue to go this direction in my future releases.

its mainly a reference to SOCIOPATHIC LEECH! 'i could beat you with a bat'. i just wanted something that felt visceral and angry and i feel like izzie really captured that.

yes and no! brett romnes is a super nice guy and very fun to work with. i obviously had my own mixes so he could see what i preferred and essentially made it better. i think there ended up being 4 drafts before we reached a final master.

these were my original mixing notes! i think the only thing that really got lost in translation was i added some really subtle vocal distortion at the end of HOLLOW DRUG in my original mix. in the end, i feel empowered by brett because he made it sound like what i felt it should sound like in my head (DOES THIS SENTENCE MAKE SENSE!?)

after i wrote SOCIOPATHIC LEECH and RIGHTS TO MY WRONGS, i was like 'okay, this is the style we're going for, lets do some sort of project in this particular style' i was pretty dead set on an EP since i'd just done an album. so to answer your question, yes and no!

i wish i could put something significant here. im sure theres some psychologist out there who could tell me that the song represents something about me. i was feeling alienated at the time, hopefully this helps? "confess your sins to the crowd, no-one can hear you when you're talking so loud" is definitely about my frustrations with song meanings though

hi mikey!

this person was the GM for a cyberpunk TTRPG game i played in. i wanted to write a cyberpunk themed album at one point but i guess that one merlot line is the closest we'll get.

i have semi answered this question but I WANTED TO WRITE SONGS THAT WERE FUN TO PLAY LIVE !!!!! and i think it worked out in the end

THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO WROTE IN !!! MY ASKBOX IS ALWAYS OPEN!!!

All good! Connecting all of these suggestions by their common throughline, it’s all about a society’s history and values.

“Bad” things can be invoked as a curse, and “positive” things can be chastised for not offering the protection one feels that they are supposed to.

A relevant additional suggestion; minced oaths!

And do consider taking the name of a liked aboveforce (god, spiritual essence of the world, aspect of the magic system, etc) and make a shorthand for someone complaining to or about that force.

people who make up fantasy curses for your books....... how do you do it.....,....

I think Navaeli is the least normal about gods in some ways. Mostly because she is the most normal.

“I am . . . sorry that I made your sword implode,” Navaeli added. “I don’t imagine that it was painless for you.” Brightfate hummed and hissed almost pleasantly. “ONE PAIN IS NOT SEPARATE FROM ANOTHER. BLEEDS, BLEEDS, BLEEDS. PERHAPS WE ARE GLAD TO BE FREED OF THE WRETCHED CAGE.” “Oh. Well, that is good, I think!”
