#WHAT DO YOU MEAN A QUARTER TO ONE?!?!?!

[phoenixiancrystallist]

Month 5, day 26—yes it's 26, I haven't gone to bed yet, it still counts!!!!—and I've finished up the actual animation on chibi!Cuff! :D Also did some layer cleanup and cropped the canvas size so I have a little more layers to play with. Might decide to shrink the aspect ratio and see if that gives me even more maximum layers or if ProCrate just hard-maxes me out at 400. Idk, we'll see!

Unfortunately those last ten frames of animation put me over the 10mb limit to upload gifs to Tumblr, so, have an MP4 instead :D

BNHA Ch. 429

So, I guess Toga is dead, and people are losing it.

I get why people liked her--she was actually queer, being pan/bisexual. She was representation for them and that's rare in shonen manga. But here's the thing--she was bad representation at best and insulting at worst. Nor do I think she was made queer because Hori really wanted to represent a queer girl. Himiko was always the author's poorly hidden fetish--she just was. She liked girls as much as boys because Hori wanted to draw a girl touching sexually on another girl. You can see this in how he draws her and Ochako in solo pics together.

I mean, people seem to understand this when it comes to Momo and her outfit being overly sexual or that both Himiko and Hagakure's Quirks either leave them naked or they have to be naked to use them. These are excuses to draw girls in a sexual manner. Himiko being into other girls is the same thing and that's the kindest interpretation.

Given how Himiko acts and her Quirk being heavily coded sexual desire, and therefore her use of it against someone unwilling being sexual assault, it could just being playing into harmful stereotypes of predatory gays.

As a queer person myself I just found Toga insulting. She was designed to be overly sexual and give the male author a female character that he could draw being suggestive with his other female characters. When he did flesh out her character, her backstory was eventually the trope/fear of straight people, that gay people will be so overcome with their lust that they end up sexually assaulting them.

In the end Ochako accepts this part of Toga and says she'll giver her blood forever, but as much as a lot of readers took that that as some deep lesbian confession, for me it really fell flat. Hori never really gave any of the main kids time to actually learn about their villain or show how that changed their minds toward them. Shoto only works because Touya is his brother (even though he admits he barely remembers him). But Ochako goes from not thinking of Toga at all pre-first war, to one thought about her during her speech, to suddenly caring about her so much she--given how Toga's quirk is coded, is willing to essentially fulfill Toga's kink for the rest of their lives.

It's weird and it comes out of nowhere. It's made even stranger because Toga doesn't actually change or show remorse for anything she did, which included personally hunting and murdering people before she joined the LOV. None of the death and destruction she is also partially responsible for is brought up either, something that Ochako was rightfully upset about during the first war when less people and property had been destroyed. Ochako just accepts everything about her suddenly and her past serious crimes are forgotten so they can cuddle and cry.

Am I shocked Toga died--a little. I didn't think Hori would have the guts to kill off a young girl character, especially one that he clearly got a lot of joy drawing in sexy poses. But at the same time, once he killed off Shigaraki and ended Touya's story with his slow death, I'm not surprised he went the same route with Toga.

This isn't Naruto--Hori isn't really kind to characters that do something wrong, especially if they don't try and change. Enji, Bakugo, Hawks, and Aoyama all sort of got punished for what they did. Enji is the worst off, being permanently crippled, missing an arm and burned everywhere. Bakugo's hand is damaged, his heart weaker, plus he feels bad that Izuku lost his Quirk so they can't compete the same way he wanted them to. Aoyama, despite doing way less wrong and even helping his class during the forest raid, still leaves school because he doesn't feel he earned being there yet. Hawks lost his Quirk and even though him running the HPSC could be seen as good for him, Hawks always wanted a break, but now he has one of the most time consuming and stressful jobs out there.

So, if this is what characters who actively did good things and even changed and fought to be better get, what would characters who never changed and never did anything positive for anyone but their friends/themselves get?

Before the last Arc started, when so many people said the LoV were 100% going to be redeemed I had doubts and always thought it wouldn't make sense with how the story presented redemption or treated other non-LoV villains in the past. That if the main LoV did get some happy ending where they were bffs with the main cast it would clash with how other characters had been treated.

That doesn't mean that I think how Shigaraki, Toga, and Touya ended up in the manga was well done. I think their endings fit far better then a last minute redemption would have, but at the same time you can feel how rushed everything has been since the end of the first war arc. Hori was done with this story months if not years ago, yet he was contractually obligated to finish it. Because of that I think he left out as much as possible. As much as I think he's written some pretty obsessive stuff, particularly towards women, I can't really fully blame him cutting corners or the story being shit at the end.

We know Manga authors, particularly those that work with Jump are treated like shit. That they suffer incredibly long hours at times not even getting to go home for days. We've gotten messages for Hori saying he's sick quite a few times. On top of that, weekly story telling is not a great way to tell a cohesive narrative. Ideas probably change week to week or at least month to month and you can't go back and change the last chapter no matter how much you need or want to. Then you remember he also gave a lot of ideas to the people who made the movies, which would also change his plans for how he wanted the main story to go.

The story is bad--it has been for a while, but I think a lot of people put their hopes on their favorite characters getting a happy ending, even when there were signs that probably wasn't going to be the case. I know how much it sucks when a character you love gets a shitty ending (Stain was my fav, but he got an absolute dogshit ending) but at least, knowing what I know about the industry I can't really blame Hori the way I see some other people doing. Criticize it, sure, but saying Hori hates his readers or is horrible writer isn't true. BNHA was popular for a reason--he's great with characters and the beginning of the story had some great pacing. We'll never know, but I wouldn't be surprised if BNHA could have been amazing if Hori had been treated better and the story hadn't needed a chapter every week.

If anything BNHA has taught me how much a story suffers when authors/artists are treated like crap and forced to work past burnout.

An underrated benefit of love triangles is that they allow you to have a love story where the ending isn't immediately obvious. In your standard romance, the two leads meet, and then it's just a matter of time until they hit the plot beats that lead to the happily ever after. But the love triangle gives you two plotlines! Two different dynamics! Two valid directions for the plot to veer that will still lead to a romantic happy ending without that ending being a foregone conclusion.

The main character can grow and change in multiple different ways because there are two men on equal standing with her, who can have an influence on her in different ways, giving her multiple different lenses to help her understand who she is and who she really wants to be. When it's done right, the story will be satisfying no matter what the endgame is, because the point is going along on the journey and seeing who the characters become. And the great thing is that you don't know who they'll become because there are two valid options, so the entire story can be surprising, which is so refreshing when so many love stories are so predictable.

aaargh & just as it's a struggle like condense my two storylines & what they Say into one?? wrenching a long post into Two, but nobody produces this save me & this site platform so i can just do that so anyway from the top Two Main Ideas here ✌️ which i am throwing down so i can keep referring to like hang on what are my starting/main threads again here. okay quick: bloodsong going This Is A Story in this show not Completely the same as [the show itself] in all ways. & thread called why Didn't lo cocodrilo already get everything that he wanted. these will intertwine or we'd be here even more all day than we would have

let's gooo okay so this is all about bloodsong being so No Definitive "Real" Story / Yes Interpretations like kissing it on the head mwah & that connects right to like it immediately being presented to us the audience with a Narrator & being told As A Story, to the point it's like maybe there Is a grave outside port isabel that this person made up this entire story about, narrating all along the way, maybe there isn't & that was made up too (sure really could be, original idea of bloodsong as a show within a show, said show is what is now the Full Show but it still breaks out of that, it's not a story presented As Though These Were Real Events portrayed as would-be accurately as possible; the western convetions are made clear as to not be Objective, to be more relevant to some characters than others, a perspective, a way of coordinating with the audience on their understandings of a very broadly familiar genre conventions, themselves a way to coordinate on Meaning with an audience from afar rather than like oh something being according to a known Convention is bad, a known Genre (set of such conventions, perhaps) is bad) & like this is all ultimately about Last On Land babey wherein the specifics of this specific story kind of matter the least, again that we are Telling A Story matters the most

and relevantly like hey yeah why does the strange man who is the narrator who is the barman who is weeping eduardo who are all particular Helpful Observer types have an established, decisive opinion on who he thought the musician was? while of course lampshading how many roles he's doubled for & that even the musician within this story can be like, hm. but like all these connecting to The Narrator mostly as who is following this The Hero throughout & with an idea of who he is, opening this show talking about the idea of who this person was who the narrator has never met but according to the epitaph thinks is someone who is this role model for his ideals, nothing so noble as a man on a mission when faced with the fire never quivers or runs, smash cut to last on land like alas i must be punished for weakness losing my musical instrument & how can i succeed without it & then who am i even, & here's the narrator doubling role like well in this low point of doubt & despair guess you're not who i thought you were, in this story that's maybe completely invented by me specifically in a way, & here's this song about it, penultimate track on Album again

umm & to bring it around to considerations of "why didn't lo cocodrilo already have the pointless existence turkey family he wanted when he used to be a turkey / The Same As The Musician, is still relevantly at all the same the musician" like don't suppose he was lying about that But you can interpret that he was lol in all these things like totally loosey goosey It's A Story & there's room & whatever basic Invitation to question its elements when it's like yeah not only do we know in real life this is a made up story but that broadest story is perhaps immediately about "i'm maybe making up this whole story, plausibly Already i'm in a story within this story b/c this yeehaw element is not 'objective' within the most overarching Story of this" bsol original plans as a show within a show....

(looks up "dovetails") this dovetails with how fun i was finding all this loosey goosiness like as soon as i go "everyone could live where & i'm like this shit is coconanas" goofin around (b/c the ending as is is like yayy wheee but it's fun to play around vs feeling like nooo i must fix this) & like whoa turns out that playing around with the lively, flexible material is a lively, flexible time, like yes drama sure though swing into comedy god knows yes sure whatever it means to have [remember: your villain could go sicko mode at any time like whoa there. see also: swing into comedy. see also: yes drama sure] like i'm going like juxtaposition Instrument of [feelings about supposed ideal art / performance / reception expressed humorously like it would be so successfully moving/impactful people just die] well what if the tambourine is a Figurative Made More Literal powered instrument, rattlesnakes, banana's prayer of & successful Protection, reverberation, giving up on your ideals so you died but not fully & plus this different person reborn (really fascinating lo cocodrilo in conversation with sheila nail as roles juxtaposition again lol) like why not have death & rebirth again, thinking of juxtaposition of the hero & the villain like Compare is very relevant along with contrast, both ways really, thinking of that sidekick swap again, could banana see the sea lions with lo cocodrilo & his popular appeal that wasn't All Artifice "oh i don't Really care about music" either, well how Would the musician sing if to him his sidecick didn't cling, steve may not cling, which. man this is gonna sprawl some more lol i don't think i've fully gotten to what i was dovetailing. this is an organic experience as always

Which i'm like truly intriguing like yeah our act two with imminent showdown opening by showing the villain going sicko mode like yeah Stakes Raised then but it's also like so what goes on here lol. why are you as a man contriving a way for you to Take the heart of another man. in the show where Physical Hearts & Blood do stand for passion, feelings, drive, love, etc & so forth whatever whichever & where lo cocodrilo is vulnerable b/c like yes the villainy as already displayed And expressed to us like okay i'll make sure i get what i want through going sicko mode Taking It & having my increasing reputation for that becoming something else i can leverage....yet like well really not that Fantastical Absurd Out There like your average marriage according to much logic, if some man decides he wants to obtain this woman like yeah just abduct her & hold her hostage & everyone must play house till they die like again like well. not even that out there. but lo cocodrilo's weak spot in that it's not really all about that power in having the pieces in place serving their purpose to him Seemingly, he knows violeta as a person doesn't have genuine affection for him (the fact that this toddler (who Doesn't fit the bill of how children are supposed to Belong To a parent, where in fact the "how do you get a Your Wife Now to belong to you" process of like idk go find Woman & take her is less Legitimate for your Legitimate children, supposedly) nevertheless Does have genuine affection for him as like well you're the an father figure i've known ever & for my whole life also, thinking you're epic coolio guy, not even a crocodile is immune to that) & that Ruins Things / he knows he doesn't really have what he wants, it ruins things in the end when his silver lining could be if at least she didn't genuinely love the musician either anymore, as a role never without His Own instrument by contrast....

where am i. yeah villain isn't even now Really all about power, or he'd see everyone as props In Place in his life & not care how violeta feels if she is thusly in place regardless, or that wouldn't be his great primary vulnerability here as a Foil who isn't supposed to be completely different but rather this fellow outlaw musician who used to be like you but now walks an uglier road than you do & i'm like hang on, also why? why didn't lo cocodrilo as a more Heroic prior version of himself get what he wanted through his music that we aren't like argued ohh & it's Bad actually, we don't "really" hear it save the entr'acte being him rehearsing for his concert but it's of course bsol's score, & umm back to henchman steve i guess with how he Enters Here again

but also still with my question like why didn't he get his loser pointless family imagine. while the musician Does happen to woo [princess role] at a fish market vs the villain fatefully like okay i'll take that person & she can Have To play house but actually i want it to be Real as it would if it happened b/c someone wanted to but i'm villainously forcing it but i'm still hoping that gets the other results & here we are. & it's like well again we're not like explained or promised that lo cocodrilo was never actually, or sufficiently, like the musician, or that then or even now like oh & his music must all really be objectively terrible & worthless lol i'm like more kazoo entr'acte sure yes. i don't listen to fuckall but i'm not like charting singles more like objecting artistic garbage bin Inherently Thus. & i'm thinking like well maybe it's just like a reflection of how even if You're Pure Of Heart & You're Making Your Art there's no guarantee what you'll get out of it & that's not necessarily this objective emergent judgment of your heart & art & etc, & this is simply an Interpretation, & simply even if i didn't have it in this specific show it's like Hmm & juxtaposing w/other iconis stories, the black suits, the band doesn't Win The Day & yet. lihn they don't know they'll ever see each other again either (again sheila trying to get what she wants & needs but then not sure of those things & in absence of other options or guidance there's that "compromise" like actually i'm fine in prison & leaning into that & don't fuck with me & i have my reputation & i can get what i want & need myself like obviously not the villain, easily not A villain anywhere, but In Conversation with bsol villain lo cocodrilo who probably also used to have that counterpart [story of the actors of this show within the show] & who is still plausibly presented as this story made up through the interpretations of this narrator we're immediately introduced to)

didn't even get around to steven again like so yeah then like. then from beyond like well okay fate Doesn't smile on a the musician b/c that's just how it goes sometimes & his reaction is going lo cocodrilo mode, but then Also like that of course if you add the layer of "this is all given another frame of A Story Someone Is Interpreting & Telling" like that feels like it is telling you there is yes this room for Interpretation, various even, uncertain, inconclusive, there is all the more capacity for Questioning endlessly....thought of that through half joking like what would the coconana alternate ending spiralling off even be like & for one thing imagining like Musical Power: Protection / Safety(?) like another fun & games element is like actually maybe this villain as characterized would hate that in a way. alongside the horrors Reintroduced of what if you want things but there's nothing you can do about it (i.e. opportunity like, go back & have character progression about that again lol. figurative rebirth one said) but then it was like well why wouldn't lo cocodrilo's music have a special power, or giraffe's, or anybody's? then also thrown over to questions like well yeah why does banana have special immunity from music that kills you. as gruesome a detail as like yeah yeah a lot of blood, gotta revisit production pics on someone's site like i think i recall the like gross corpse prop being buried by weeping eduardo lol, supposing maybe there's a Your Literal Heart prop or what did ppl audibly go Ew about especially at killing steve, but like eugh what is perhaps implied about like the sexual aspect of being held hostage but then perhaps Implied Further in "immunity" like i wasn't gonna ask like hey wait why doesn't banana have kids & Yet, meanwhile yet another layer of some ambiguity & interpretation like does lo cocodrilo actually accept this abducted son the whole time? & also i think this was a line from Violeta Who Is A Hallucination so it's like, is this Also fully in the musician's head? which might fully be in the narrator's head? is it partly true, magically, for The Story? but right back to, amidst all these things that can be interpreted various ways, it's made clear to us there's at least the one added layer of [This Is A Story], thus all those interpretations & perspectives & meanings Questionable, like, yeah maybe it Is a question to be asked hey why do you get the magic music or heart or the cursed life or the immunity, and an In-Universe answer might be "objective" like well b/c of this quality or these actions, but we're not all stuck fully in that universe, & even the characters aren't. the non outlaws with garden gnomes & polo shirts & clipboards, Thee Story being broken like, This won't be the happy ending, monologue interrupted, no music, no narration, no Lines even for lo cocodrilo's outburst Return To His Vastly Preferred Method To Kill, why are you as a man. etc

why are you as a man prior turning your "here's what i'm gonna do to the musician then" around on this other man who i guess you have pet names for & would it have been plausible he could really have expected to hug it out? but then you prefer knife kills for Many Reasons huh & your vulnerability is you want someone's figurative heart & know you don't have it and is also you ostensibly Don't want someone else's figurative heart but Do have it, & in this case like gee sure seems like the ultimate expression Villain Style of how he thinks he should get to Take what he wants (figurative heart of this guy's wife) would be to extract the literal heart of someone & it's your special little henchman like, again. now do i think lo cocodrilo must have a queer read, convincingly does, this is the only relevant thing to this story or anything else, necessarily the Most relevant thing, the required read, etc & so forth, even required To Me....no but again it's like ah it's a story, there's all this room for Questioning It All and acting like it has that added layer of This Is A Story Being Created & Told to it all, which it does. loosy goosiness & flexibility & capaciousness i'm kissing on the head & it's back to like Hmm why Didn't lo cocodrilo get the nuclear turkey family as he described it or the narrator later confirms he wanted....well this is a possibility. probably if it was Textual, things would be different yeah lol. see like, yes the Textual differences between Musician Hero Susannah Son & Musician Hero Bloodsong The Musician are relevant in their stories, naturally lihn in particular, susannah isn't Just more held back from Success b/c oh she's being a real baby / lacking Character in whatever other way i guess. but Subtextual? but the way that whether you imagine oh xyz is Fully Intended to be questioned like, the Room for questioning is intentionally put there, & nobody's interested in being like, no this is the Definitive interpretation & idea. & again like amidst Genre Conventions like hmm anyone queercoding within outcasts, outlaws, villains, funny little side characters? banana being like well i mean i can be your substitute wife for now? for warmth?

lo cocodrilo with his pet names with his Knowing, Loyal, Genuinely Concerned For Your Wellbeing henchman after the very funny way of sequencing like [villain song tells you what he's about / "hostage wife who was there for all that i think, what's wrong :/" / outburst about not having her genuine affection as a real problem to him still. your vulnerability / scrap of foreshadowing about later reveal & Here's Steve bursting in on this playing house going awry & privacy please but also steve like We need privacy actually & the return to light & civil tone Good Evening, Darling / Burn In Hell / immediate whispered swear lmao. oh wait that's where the acknowledgment of violeta Stealing The Stool to clear the set made me spit take too lmaoo] where was i yeah & like hmm the concerned & helpful & patient henchman counterpart to banana though less Classic Sitcom Second Banana To Hero styled funny guy with it, slightly harried dealing with the villainy & just the boss, got a clipboard, got calls to make....& then to kick off the second act like he Does knock & okay we're pelvic thrusting at him then & pet names it seems & he's so game to cheer the villain up but also serious about making sure he knows he should prepare for this showdown & then the rush of villainous unpredictability elation there's nothing the public loves more than getting screwed henchmanly flattery there's a lot of truth in that & unpredictability Again like lmaoo now why the "okay get out i hate you" like hmm lol we don't need Narration to already be thinking about facades & that lo cocodrilo may Declare his hatred / disdain / derision for things he, oh you know, loves or wants or other vulnerable things. henchman steve is so like not just stressed but. okay i did organically go to "disheartened" about did you trick me into coming back in here without knocking :( & ohh haha jk hug it out Just Kidding Knife Killing & talking to him & i wouldn't bleed on Your floor & close em baby & kisses & I Now Have Your Literal Heart & btw this was also all about ominous setup for meaning to kill the musician, foiling another man, like yknow i think there is certainly Room Here for a queer lens lmaooo. & i'll whip it out (the queer lens, but. come in, i'm decent....) for like i find these two henchman bits So Fun

where am i. lost in the sauce. okay i need you First Paragraph....okay trying to think like do i think i've missed any Crucial Points to make this even make sense? not really. do i think i have to say Everything, Definitively, my one & done chance to communicate Anything & thus it had better be Perfect? well yes but i also remember well that shouldn't be the case & god knows when the communication is long tumblr posts to myself mostly to be picked up & read Or Not about whatever specific thing i feel like talking about, i can just make more posts....Interesting that lo cocodrilo Makes An Exception for the musician, certainly don't have definitive conclusions yet about what can be read into that, & i think there's of course plenty of room, we Don't know all those reasons he wants to kill with a knife as much as possible (when relevant. though yknow, if he wants your shoes for any reason, he'll cut off your feet. though tell you that first, everyone & their Repeated Honest Threats / Demands out here. also again [queer lens] not being the only way it's Comprehensible like declining the assumed copulatory technique but wanting her shoes? lmao but like well alright) where am i like yeah & then to revert to the Preferred Knife Kill after taking yourself out but that's so not supposed to happen that the Way the Story has been told Stop b/c the story is so disrupted thusly, mid monologue, no music, less scripted Seeming reactions like no narration no collective gasps no immediate Nooo's, couldn't even see shit & would've been momentarily more confused if i didn't know going in something like that would happen but very Striking nonetheless just for this one last Surprising Twist courtesy of villainous unpredictability ft. also [well. if you're dying anyway] & the Disruption of that disrupting all these other elements in the show, that layer of story as it was being Told momentarily at a loss, gotta reconfigure around how to now contain This....aaand uhh some conclusion like it can be over a decade later & some rando can be like oh boy i'm rotating this story & prying it apart & shaking it up wheee b/c it is fun as is & facilitates that so well with so Not being concrete, & yes having figurativeness, & perhaps a few extra layers of As Interpreted & Told By &/or Speculated About Or Fully Made Up By, & comparing to other stories told about someone who tells a lot of stories about telling stories & is like yeah interpret them however & indeed can embrace things being taken whole different ways now b/c the audience is part of this. now a skeleton & friend are probably fucking & we love that for them, sure. addendum fellas are you gay if you kill your narrative foil with a knife & you're both boys? you are. you are gay.

Okay so basically the United States MINT of all people is going to be working with DC to make a line of coins! These coins sadly won't be in circulation (the things I would do to live in a world where I could get Batman coins from the supermarket) as they're collectors coins, but will be releasing over the course of the next 3 years, 2025-2027.

Designs haven't been released yet (the same is true for all 2025 designs) but we know there will be 9 coins in total (3 each year) with the first year featuring (of course!!!) Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

Although we know the first three heroes to be featured, the remaining six have yet to be decided, and it turns out the Mint is putting out a survey on their site to gauge which of a group of culturally significant heroes people want to see most! (link to the form is mentioned in the article above)

The considered group includes: Supergirl, the Flash, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Captain Marvel, John Stewart GL, Aquaman, Hawkman, Jamie Reyes BB, Robin (Damian?), Cyborg, and Batgirl, of which 6 will be selected.

As someone who does a bit of coin collecting myself (mainly circulation coins like the quarters sets, but I also have a couple proof and collectors coins) I think this is a really cool and interesting idea that showcases the history of the comics medium and these characters and their influence on American culture. Really excited to wait and see what the designs look like for the coins already announced!

A fictional man will have absolutely nothing going for him and have negative depth at best and people will scream that he's automatically Complex™ and Interesting™ simply because he's fucked up, but a female character will have a rich inner emotional world that reverberates through the story and holds up some genuinely complicated themes and people will yawn and go, "You literally could not pay me to care."

also the most surreal thing happened to me last week where is my 1D LOVELY ANON THIS POST IS FOR YOU I MISS YOU. once a week I volunteer teaching italian to migrant kids and also assist italian kids with school work. And there is this 12 year old italian kid bless her she's so sweet, she had to write a little assignment on her favourite music band for school and she chose to write about bts. She LOOOOVES them. And I was like aw you know I get it I was like that with 1d I was such a massive fan back in the day. And she was like: who?. And I was like: what the fuck??????????????

[unproduciblesmackdown]

also looking close at the sheet music glimpse, i noted when i went "kiss me what?" and looked up the lyrics and it gave me that of those of a doris day rendition, that version apparently goes "down in lover's lane my dearie" instead of "lover's lane with you" despite that the latter creates a rhyme, and we do see the [my] rather than the [with] in the lyrics

the doris day version is a whole different arrangement certainly, and more downtempo

another thing that might suggest its arrangement, besides just its lyrics, being that that's three beats per measure in the sheet music, the doris day version sure is a waltz, and idk what time signature the kay starr version has but it's not 3/4....played out orville's line on a virtual keyboard too, definite harmonizing going on. now imagining it could go from this downtempo waltz and swing up into the kay starr version like whoa we gotta ease orv into this and he's never heard a song above 50 bpm in his life
