Noel's Lament, a ballad?? Less likely than you think
I'm back on my bullshit so let's go.
So, we all know about how Noel's Lament isn't actually a lament and is in fact a ballad, and that Ballad of Jane Doe isn't a ballad and is in fact a lament. All this is because lament's are used for mourning and Noel is mourning his could've-been slutty French life, and ballad's are for telling a story and Jane just wants a story of her own she can tell.
We all know that, that's old news. But what if I were to tell you that Noel's Lament isn't entirely a ballad? We'd expect Noel to perform an untraditional ballad that maybe doesn't follow all of the conventions of an actual ballad as an amab who wants to be an afab sex worker in France, but it goes further than that.
A ballad is a poem that contains 12 stanzas, each with 4 lines that follows either an ABAB or ABCB rhyme scheme. An ABAB rhyme scheme is used to tell a love story, and an ABCB rhyme scheme is used to tell a story of heartbreak, or domestic crimes, or political propaganda, or loss of faith in religion etc etc. Noel's Lament follows an ABCB rhyme scheme, due to it's negative tone associating with heartbreak and unfaithfulness and whatever else is going on in Noel's fantasy world.
However, Noel's Lament contains 13 stanzas. Now you might be thinking: hang on, but the very last stanza is 2 lines, that barely even counts. If you're going to exclude the 5th line of some verses "I want to be that fucked up girl" from the ballad then you can exclude those two too! Well I would, except stanzas 11 and 12 also don't follow the rules of a ballad. They're each 6 lines long, and follow an AABBCC rhyme scheme. So when you split stanzas 1-10 and stanzas 11-13 separately, you get a 10 line long ballad, followed by a sonnet. A sonnet is 14 lines and often follows an AABB rhyme scheme, and I'd say Noel's AABBCC rhyme scheme is close enough to say it's the same thing.
See where I'm going with this? If Noel's song is a short ballad followed by a sonnet, whatever could that mean? Well as we know, a ballad is used to tell a story. If that story is cut short, whatever could that symbolise? Noel's tragically early death :). But then why does he sing a sonnet? Well sonnet's are used to write about desire, and even though his entire song is about the desire to be a French sex worker, this desire can also relate to the desire to live again :).
Summary: Noel sings a ballad that's suddenly cut short to symbolise how suddenly his life was cut short, and ends his song with a sonnet to symbolise his desire to live again :D
Thank you for putting up with my English Literature brain who over-analysed the structure of a silly little musical song :D

what's ur favorite gradient :}}}
my favorite colors my favorite 2 colors those are probably maybe a cyan and a hot pink. huewise the likes of #0ff and #f0f. (is the convention where #abc expands to #aabbcc a universal thing or is that just css? if not thats what im saying. Ok?). not quite that saturated ok like 90% of the way there. but as a gradient? sorry to my follower whose pfp is straight up that gradient... its very plain its kinda boring. why? i think its those 2 colors with which uncritical Futuristic aesthetics are defined. heres what u do. U put a nice orangey yellow in the middle like a dandelion type color in there. magenta->yellow is soooo omfgggg. and the fade into the cyanbis soooo woooowww. i love the whole orange side sooo much but the cyan is so pretty...see
Does this resonate

The Mother’s song is 36 or 37 stanzas long depending on which version you choose (I’ll do a run off if it wins)

the soft rhyme of absurd and deserves that shirks the AABBCC rhyming pattern is so so good. this is getting more general about the sense of the song itself but it takes careful pains to displace itself always from a complete and total fulfilling love story. the oneness of the two figures is bracketed by a loneliness in both that brings them together and drives them apart at different points in the song. ‘i love you’ and then ‘i know it wouldn’t come to love’. this is only interesting to me i realise but i’d love to write something involving them inspired by this.

In the middle of a world building debate on a jump chain Thread on space battles.com
Aehriman
What do they mean when they say silver and copper tarnish? That cannot happen absent sulfur, it must be a different process. But what?
Spiritual or mechanical intelligence doesn't require me to accept the existence of life without any of it's requirements or antecedents. Your body is about 18% carbon by weight, because it's the frame almost all large and complex molecules are held together with. Imagine if I showed you a clip of Times Square at rush hour and told you there is one small difference between this world and ours, in this one there is no such thing as bones. "But how does anything hold shape or walk upright?" You may ask. "None of these people look like they have an endoskeleton." This is a fraction of the problems GRRM made for himself to wave away something that didn't need explaining.
It makes about as much sense as saying that the number two and all even numbers do not exist in your story, please disregard every previous use of pairs and dozens or two of anything existing. Or that gravity doesn't exist. Fascinating hypotheticals, but as a minor detail in a story where otherwise things behave exactly as if everything existed by physical laws as we know it? The easiest explanation by far is that Martin has no clue what he's talking about or how anything works and is, in fact, full of saltpeter-to-be.
Aabbcc:
Poop comes up an awful lot in digimon, there are poop jokes galore, but it can't be the same thing we mean! It's made of digital fuckery!... it just looks, smells, behaves, and is in every aspect that matters, poop. And when digimon enter the real world, the poop they make and the jokes about it are exactly the same, without any distinction form being digital.
Me:
Uh, it does. Digimon or Bleach demand you accept the existence of an entire biosphere made of exotic bullshit, yet you can turn a human into a digital human or a spirit-made human and It Just Works. Or the Digimon goes to the human world and eats a ton of meat, then goes to the bathroom and poops so the series can make yet another joke about it. It Just Works.
---'
To we fear this all builds off of an apocryphical statement or at least a misinterpretation that George RR Martin said that in his world are the world of a song of ice and fire the chemicals needed for making a gunpowder do not exist. This was pointed out to be absolutely ridiculous especially as they can make alchemical fire at a bunch of other things.
If we go from this relatively minor change we would be exploring a massive change in the overall setting.
Someone used digimon as an example of don't think about it because often fantasy worlds employ a change and don't follow the implications. Needless to say I had to get my big boy pants on because I'm very serious and I care about very important things.
And oddly enough one of the enduring aspects of digimon the thing that's constantly captured my imagination and I found often is elaborated on not just in the fans but has been done so in the creative minds and producers and products been the fact that they actually are proposing a minor change that does nothing but follow the implications even if it follows along certain conventional lines
Namely yes there is a world that is simultaneously digital and yet has all the aspects and emulations of life and it interacts with our own and involves bonding with children and/or to either fulfill them and power them or for the children to become them or them to become like the children
The franchise is often psychotically diverse and thorough and exploring the implications of this premise which let's face it was basically an excuse to sell toys
All leading to the fact that I can genuinely say digimon is world building anunplotted and regularly typing on the concept or conceit of something on the same level of there is no gunpowder or the chemicals to make it in our world. Because we regularly run into the fact that yeah reality is in fact made out of hopes and dreams and this isn't necessarily in all good thing because several things that could be thought of as evil or demons from legendsThe imaginations of HP love craft or worse are the results of this weird interaction between dreams computers and our reality. It doesn't necessarily work all that well and it can have all sorts of crazy effects
And everyone's either trying to exploit it or prevent it from being exploited and doesn't even know how the things supposed to work and they have very big wars about this and suddenly something else happens that they don't know how to stop and all they can do was keep doing the practice that is kind of worked which is get a punch of heroic children cultivate their virtues and knowledge and efforts and hope They can verify the quanthe qualities that they can sort of measure and Analyze in order to have an outcome that stops whatever reality devouring glitch is going on this week
So yes on a certain level digimon does for its genre and peers through own its world building better than George RR Martin
So how off am I @prokopetz
That is explained.
the digital world is the umbra/realm of forms having made contact through the web. As such, especially first series, it's a hodgepodge of hypotheticals and emulations trying to be reality based off rumors.
And this isn't deepest lore. They eat and shit but also breakdown into data and reform and xan be reprogrammed.
It's a plausible new underlying influence or result of dimensions poorly interacting based on shit the closest thing to God doesn't know how works and is threading needles with human virtue and souls transubstatiated to code for patch jobs as stuff blossoms with kids at the center.
Heck just crossing over tends to cause reality breakdown from glitching transit systems, wild weather patterns, mirages, and lost timelines or broken gravity
In short our computers accidentally tapped something where the admin access reads brahma, YHWA, and that loser Panku that might be sealing the Outer gods, one who used his internet connection- originatingfrom the dark web's wet drawer- to try to mail order a bride from Japan, because of Course he did.
Digimon is meeting the standards of "gunpowder chemicals don't exist" and exploring through a commercial licensing brand the cosmic horror meets,weird fiction, or high fantasy of it all.
Physics literally *multiple times* bends to belief AND dreams in digimon.
And this is often a dangerous horrifying thing that gives rise to monsters. Like the dark spore kids and oikawa. Apocalypmon, millennium, the x-virus, and multiple reality resets because everyone has lost the plot and hope reality doesn't just...break down down forever
Also the multiverse is bleeding into each other and somehow Ryo is a lone crosstime contradiction sewn into a reality, maybe. A literal example of a retcon-ed in main character there just LOADED with cheat skills. I e. A jumper!
And he and localheroes needed a team of the expies of all the geniuses of the late 20th century lead by Jesus, who put himselfin a coma to study the emerging digital universe and hacked a vital monitoring device to make an avatar to steal and spread childrens playingcards, to make a compressing program to drain d reaper back into his ancient crypt before it deleted the universe in the name of system debugging
vital physical functions semi regularly developed minds and went rogue. The soul has programming presence. Time and history is edited and copied.
The gods are reincarnating to play put old grudges or rewrite a new ending for their legend or the world
Sora married Matt who went to Mars when aiming for the moon! Yolei is straight.
It's madness held together by sheer hopes and dreams and overworked technocrat overlords!
In short the world acts like its made contact with a digital reality that was stopped out of humanity's ID bridled by man's incomplete ego wielding the fires of (insert extant mythological force here) because previous users threw up their hands by the time modems and the Apple II came 2 be and popped open a crash course for job training before bouncing trying find the architects or battle the real issues in the guts.

Ashman and Rice are such an awkward mishmash of talents; it's immediately identifiable in the original Aladdin which songs were completed before Ashman's passing. Howard Ashman painted a beautiful picture with his lyrics, immediately, obviously suitable for animation:
When the wind's from the east and the sun's from the west And the sand in the glass is right
Has such a propulsion while at the same time being just pretty.
Contrast this to the prettiest song (or at least certainly in contention for prettiest) Tim Rice ever wrote, a whole new world, can't help what I have coined as "tim riceisms" wherein he just refuses to write in away that anyone has ever spoken before
Every turn a surprise
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Like? But not to say these lines are, bad they are iconic, what makes Rice an incredible lyricst is that he will take these incredible leaps because his brain works weird (this is also why he works so werl with Elton John because Bernie Turpin also has a very weird way of writing.
This I think is especially obvious in the Prince Ali (reprise) where Rice is directly calling back to an Ashman written song, and in some ways those songs could not be more different from each other, in away that serves the story. Prince Ali is full poppy little internal rhymes ("Genuflect, show some respect" being one of the best), while following a general aabbcc pattern, as well as a great deal of alliteration. It's the slickness of salesman. Meanwhile, in the reprise, I don't know about y'all but to me even as a child feels viscerally wrong
Prince Ali, yes, it is he, but not as you know him Read my lips and come to grips with reality
Sorry what the fuck is this? And in universe Jafar is doing a poorly done pastiche and I literally don't think that Ashman could have done this. Like this is some of the best lyrical character building I've ever heard. He's gone full Tim. Like this is a prime example of Rice's ??? Being used for the greater good.
And like. There was really no other choice. Ashman tragically dies and you need a pinch hitter who's working on Lion King down the hall, you got him
And then the live action pick Pasek and fucking Paul. To what end! Why!

What Is Form In Music?
Hey guys! how are you doing? Hope you are going well. Are you looking for What is Form in music, tired of searching for the right answer? No need to search anymore. Today I am gonna discuss the meaning of form in terms of music. Like other languages, music has some composition and rules to better understand it.
Suppose you have to understand to play any new kind of music. How will you understand it without its composition? Let’s first understand the term “Musical composition”. It is an original piece of music, be it vocal or instrumental. It includes musical notation to understand the music.
Meaning of Form In Musical Terms:
Now, let’s discuss the meaning of form. The form is the structure of a musical composition. Besides, this structure includes four elements melody, harmony, rhythm, and sound. When these elements are divided into small units they are called phrases.
On the other hand, Free forms are those in which compositions do not possess a fixed structure and depend on improvisation. There is another way to describe forms with letters A, B, C, and D.. etc.
Let’s Understand Levels of Organization:
So, Here we are discussing the levels of the organization to deeply understand What is form in music. There are generally three levels of organization:
Passage
Piece/ Movement
Cycle
1- Passage:
The passage tells how the musical phrases are organized into musical paragraphs and sentences like the verse of a song.
2- Piece:
The second level of organization is about the whole structure of a single self-contained musical piece or movement.
3- Cycle:
The third level is called Cycling. It deals with the arrangement of various self-contained pieces into a comprehensive composition.
Kinds of Musical Forms:
There are various kinds of musical forms. Let’s understand them one by one specifically.
1- Strophic Form:
The strophic form also refers to the chorus form, AAA song form, and Verse-repeating form. In this form, a piece of music extends with the repetition of a single formal section. You can easily identify it from a song. Generally, It is most popular in folk songs, art songs, and hymns.
AAAA…
2- Medley or Chain Form:
The Medley form is the opposite of the strophic form. It is also popular as a chain or potpourri form. Significantly, it is a sequence of indefinite self-contained sections. Sometimes it has also repeated like AABBCC.
ABCD…
or AABBCCDD…
3- Binary Form:
The binary form depicts music that has two sections of equal lengths. There are other types of binary forms i.e. simple, rounded, symmetric-asymmetric, and balanced binary forms.
AB
or AABB
or AA’BB’…
4- Ternary Form:
As the name implies, the ternary form represents the music in which the third part repeats the elements of the first part. Further, there are two types of ternary forms i.e. simple and compound ternary forms.
ABA…
5- Rondo Form:
Rondo form usually refers to a repetitive theme alternating with different sections “episodes”. It can be symmetrical or asymmetrical form.
ABACADA…
or ABACABA…
6- Sonata Form:
Sonata or Sonata-allegro form is a greater ternary form. It has subdivisions of development, exposition, and recapitulation. Most commonly, “A” parts Exposition and recapitulation are subdivided into two-three themes that are asunder and recombine into “B” part development.
7- Variational Form:
Variational Form focuses on variation specifically. It is also known as the Theme and Variation form. A theme forms the only section and is repeated indefinitely but varied each time.
A B C D…
or A A1 A2 A3…
8- 12 Bar Blues:
This form is popular in Jazz and Blues music. In 12 Bar Blues, the melody and lyrics follow an AA’B form. For instance, one phrase is played then repeated with alteration and then a new phrase is played.
AA’B…
9- Extended Forms:
Extended forms generally have their root in any of the above forms. They are then extended with additional sections.
AAAA…
or AABABA…
10- Compound or Hybrid Forms:
As the name suggests, it is a form in which two song forms are mixed.
ABA CDC ABA…
or AAB ABA CCD…

I love the person in the mirror
after a hot shower.
They look a little like me,
except a bit more blurry.
Making a friend
from the familiar
Until they slowly change
a little more, a little more,
into someone I hated before.
And I see, with a pang,
without warning, without delicacy,
my friend has become me.
#mine#this is fuckin stupid#aabbcc ababcc is a good rhyming scheme rigbt#christ#anyway this is about how i hate looking in the mirror#writing

Ode to Quirt, By Her Most Gracious and Powerful and Magnificent Supremity, The Xanathar
O wizard, elfy thief, approach closer in my lair let me behold you – do you see what I did there? How can you, with those two tiny eyes? And you have to walk, too, instead of fly why don’t you fall over? Actually you should Fall right down and adore me, that would be good! I am aware you came to kill, but I won’t die, I never would!
You are so small and squishy a thing But brave – you wear no iron, and you bring so few people to fight your feud! I have to say, they all look like tasty food But you I think I’ll keep, a little pet Just like my fish, but not as wet. O, hear me sing and celebrate my mood, I shall not kill you yet!
I find myself fascinated while watching your chin it’s kind of soft, with a nubbly point made of skin. It goes up and down whenever you talk or drink, or eat, or stick diamonds in ceilings, or walk. I think I will keep it long after you’re dead Just a chin on my bookshelf, cut off from your head. That makes me grin, although you might squawk as you bled.
I wouldn’t try to frighten you, because you’re too smart You know I could easily rend you apart With my many cool eye-beams and their rays of harm My big toothy maw, or the tattoo on your arm. It’s just how business is, I know you understand Just stay with me here and be one of my band. Give me your heart, worship and charm, and I’ll pour gold in your hand!
Oh, yes, squishy thief, I’ll gladly make you wealthy To do just what I want will ensure you stay healthy Show me your pretty magic, be useful, funny and clever I know it’s easy for you – you’ll disappoint me never! O, work hard, make money, get drunk, entertain me, my Quirtie On your wee flappy feet-things that swiftly get dirty. I’m glad you weren’t stealthy, you’ll stay here forever, I won’t have to get hurty.
#stuff#worst poems ever#alternative ethics#context: mad beholder has minor crush on her drunk wizard prisoner#and apparently her diary is all in verse#says the DM#well#someone had to write it and that someone is me#don't ask me why I decided beholder poetry has a strict AABBCC(abc) rhyme scheme#because I have no answers#apart from the thought that it should be one line per eyestalk and a unifying line to end the verse#and I was a verse and a half in before I tried to find out exactly how many eyestalks beholders have#I found no answers#but 'seven' is almost certainly not correct#you can tell I am typing tags when I should be asleep#dnd#I apologise unreservedly

his music taste is so bad there’s four hours to listen to 🫡
#it’s all white men talking fast to bkgrnd music and an aabbcc rhyme scheme#sure- there’s gems in this genre#this man has managed to lock the worst of the worst#i actually don’t think he even has a woman on this playlist#it’s so bad#these men shouldn’t be singing

Are all of the letters one case? I feel that that would matter
human beings are the funniest, if you gave a person a pile of alphabet magnets and two boxes labeled “even” and “odd” they’d start trying to sort the letters into the boxes immediately
#I might sort capitals into odd and lowercase into even even though that feels opposite#purely because if you see the alphabet written out in both cases you see AaBbCc rather than aAbBcC
