the nomad and the horrors

thank you to everyone who sent a reply or ask from my little rant yesterday afterwork. it was refreshing to listen to different music. special mention to anon who recommended yves tumor, young the giant (which was very nostalgic), and @daydreamingofausten for cecillia... i used to love screaming this song when riding my bike around town.

i haven't done this in a few years now, but this was my eventual playlist for the night. i put this together on youtube today because i don't have spotify but you get the idea! also in response to @dogboyrevenge tagging a few weeks (?) ago...sorry it has taken so long!

Elo as dogs. Who’s what?

Ooo! Okay now this is perhaps one of the most interesting asks I have ever received!

So, I’m going to assign the seven men different breeds of dogs I feel suit them the best, and I’ll assign the dogs personalities and behaviors that would resemble them to the best of my ability Tumblr-style hahaha. I’m going to create dog “OCs” and I’ll give them lore and I’ll describe how their lives are like basically.

I haven’t owned a dog before as I’m a cat person so I’m not too well versed in their personalities, but I have been around them a lot since I have family members that have them, and, I know for sure, that like us humans, they are all unique and diverse in their personalities, behaviors, and overall moods. I’m neutral to them, but I will pet and hang out with them if I get the chance. (The only breed I really like though are Pomeranians).

Jeff Lynne:

Jeff Lynne would be a miniature poodle. They’re slightly small, have fur around their round muzzles, and just look like him. (Standard poodles are more reminiscent of Brian May from Queen with their large, tall statures and long thin faces if I’m being honest lol)

This dog is very shy and quiet. Sometimes he can be finicky and moody, but that’s just because he tends to be reserved as that’s just simply how he is. Still, he’s a pretty nice and chill pet, and likes to play with tennis balls at times. For some odd reason he really, really likes music from the Beatles, Roy Orbison, and Del Shannon. He is also attracted to items that are the color blue. (All of his dog toys are blue and will growl if you give him one that isn’t blue) He hates the rain, is scared of thunder/lightning storms, and therefore he loves sunny, blue-skied days. He is also sensitive to fluorescent lights at times. He also is obsessed with model trains and is always eager to watch them go around and around. When he rides in cars, he actually enjoys getting stopped by trains and wags his tail happily as the warning lights go off, the barricades go down (if you stop at those specific types of crossings with him) and the train passes through. He dreams of riding in one someday (hopefully in trains that allow dogs haha)

Bev Bevan:

Bev Bevan would be a chocolate labrador. They are large, have wide square-shaped faces, and have brown fur. They also appear large and stocky, like Bev.

This dog is usually reserved and kind, but sometimes he can be very mischievous and likes to pull pranks. He also has a pretty deep sounding bark. He cares about his and other people and pets health, and is very protective of those he cares for. Despite his large size, he doesn’t like fighting and is usually friendly. He can be a bit ornery at times for fun though. He despises snakes and enjoys being around other large dogs. He’s also pretty friendly with dog!Jeff.

Kelly Groucutt:

Similar to Jeff, Kelly would be a poodle. But, since this individual was short in real life, and his hair was a bit shorter, he would specifically be a toy poodle—as they are smaller than miniature poodles—.

This dog is high energy. Like, very high energy. He barks a lot and moves around a lot. He has a very high pitched loud bark. He plays with dog toys all the time and loves to collect them. He likes climbing things and does what ever he can to release his never ending energy. He is super friendly and sweet and loves company. He doesn’t mean any harm and sometimes causes things to break due to his high energy levels. He is also a huge animal lover and is kind to all animals, especially foxes. A very small, lovely, and extroverted pet.

Richard Tandy:

Richard would be a golden retriever. Their fluffy golden blonde fur and reputation for being loyal just scream “Richard Tandy as a dog”.

This dog is very loyal and trustworthy. He is very well-behaved, as well as quiet, though he does have a very low pitched bark, slightly lower than dog!Bev. He usually likes being alone, and enjoys watching tv, especially sports channels. He does struggle with sports but he really likes partaking in them. Still, he is super hardworking and enjoys doing things for people. He usually has a relaxed facial expression and isn’t one to get aggressive, he is very much a hippie haha. He also likes piano music and sometimes attempts to play the piano and it’s just so endearing to watch him do that. He also likes hanging around with dog!Jeff and dog!Bev.

Mik Kaminski:

Mik would be a bearded collie. Just look at an image of Mik, and then at an image of a bearded Collie, and look back at that image of Mik and you’ll know what I’m talking about. The “beard” of the dog just reminds me of Mik’s as it’s not curly yet it’s also smoothed and curved. Also, the small, round yet slightly narrow eyes the dog breed has also remind me of Mik’s eyes for some reason.

This dog, similar to dog!Jeff, is very shy. I’d say even more shy than dog!Jeff. He’s also pretty quiet, similar to dog!Richard. He is also well-behaved and doesn’t cause any problems. He likes the sound of violin music and sometimes likes to bite the violin bow and attempt to play the violin himself. He absolutely loves being around horses and is very smart and calculating. He is very timid and gets scared easily. If you are a stranger to him, be very careful not to scare him or he’ll run away and hide. Despite their contrasting behaviors, he and dog!Kelly are best friends and love hanging out. I guess it’s because they’re both friendly towards each other.

Hugh McDowell:

Hugh McDowell would be an Irish Settler. They have long, flowing fur that reminds me of his long, slightly wavy hair style from the early 70s, and they’re also tall and thin. Their fur also has like a reddish color which reminds me of some Hugh photos where the lighting makes his hair reddish even though it’s actually a blonde-ish brown(?). They also have square shaped, defined muzzles, with far apart eyes.

This dog, like dog!Kelly, is very hyperactive. He loves running around and bites trees and plants a lot for fun. He’s also somewhat nocturnal, he enjoys staring at the night sky. He loves being wild, and sometimes knocks things down in a mischievous way. He can also get moody at times but deep down is very sweet. He also does things to make people laugh. Also, he really loves snakes, especially boas. He likes to make sure they remain safe and is protective of any snake he comes across. He’s really brave in that sense. He also gets really sad when he tries to find snakes but ends up not finding any haha. He really enjoys hanging around dog!Melvyn and dog!Mik. He also likes the color purple and enjoys wearing suits fitted for dogs lol. He also loves messing around with cellos and biting them haha. Rarely he can be seen trying to play them! But sometimes he breaks them by accident. Classical music really interests him.

Melvyn Gale:

Melvyn would be a regular collie. Just—the feathery, long, caramel colored fur of this breed with those friendly doe-eyes and the perpetual permanent smile collies have just remind me of Melvyn.

This dog is friendly. Very friendly. Unfortunately, some might think he’s overly-friendly. But who cares? He’s a really sweet dog, and just happens to be very vocal. He enjoys hugs and attention. He does bark and make noise a lot, but he doesn’t mean to irritate or annoy anyone, he just really likes to communicate verbally and loves people! He enjoys being around them and likes being their friend and socializing with them, like a stereotypical friendly dog! He loves other dogs and cats as well. He really likes hanging out with dog!Hugh and is practically his best friend. He also really likes cars and planes. He loves car rides and wants to ride on planes as well. Like dog!Hugh he also enjoys cellos and sometimes attempts to play them. He likes classical music and enjoys listening to it.

Thank you so much for this ask @stephi1is1awesome! I’m glad to broadcast my dog headcannons for ELO!

@wilbury-sam take a look at this! My dog ELO headcannons are here!

OH MY GOD AAAAA

ok so i just started reading rhapsody in blue and can i just say… as a person who’s in school to be a musician (and also loves codywan) i’m already loving it!! i’m so curious about how you managed the level of accuracy. are you a professional musician??

THANK YOU!!!! You're too kind!! I'm so glad you're enjoying it, that fic in particular is close to my heart, so it means a lot!!

Also so cool that you're in music school! I'm not a professional musician, but I minored in music in college and so a couple of my friends are, so I tried to draw on my own knowledge and their experiences to keep it accurate. Music has always been an important part of my life and I did consider music school, but ultimately chose something else! But I still do music as a beloved hobby, and I sing in weddings as a side hustle. I also play in a community orchestra now just for fun, and my parents are in it too lol, so it's a fun family thing for us now!

I loved writing Rhapsody in Blue because it was kind of a love letter to that side of my life, and it was so fun to write!! It always means a lot to hear from people who have read it, so thank you so very much for the kind words :'))))

instead of working on my assignments or my lesson planning or anything really productive i attempted to teach myself a korngold song using only a piano accompaniment off youtube and an online keyboard

[supercantaloupe]

was thinking about this in my lesson this morning, how it’s really common for woodwind players to have multiple instruments. like i have two oboes in addition to my english horn but not even including other instruments like EH or d’amore, most oboists i know (especially professionals) will have two or three or more. i know flute and clarinets who’re the same way but i have no idea if it’s A Thing for string or brass players too

[daily-tally-hall-music]

Day 10! We have Lemons and Pears from Sketches 3D! Fun fact! This song was originally made for the Toy Orchestra! Also, the Toy Orchestra version of this song appeared in a Tally Hall video - "Misfortune"!

Happy day 10!
