#and THE BAGPIPES EPISODE

[fanfiction-obsession]

I desperately need to know which pnf writer decided that a noisy festival was a valid reason to want to take over the tri-state area, so I can give them a medal because they were absolutely right.

[brave-symphonia]

Love that Bagpipe tries to get out of trouble with a nice smile, and Horn has to tell her it has no effect on her.

[re-discover-communication]

Sometimes I wanna go back to when Shaun The Sheep episodes felt twenty minutes long

[badkruka]

If I had a nickel for every time someone played the bagpipes on HIGNFY, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

[chiropteracupola]

sharpe's got those genderful suspenders going on...

[oldtvlover]

Hey gang,

time to get musical here. ;-)

Chet really should be careful what he asks for, especially regarding to Johnny - and his obviously many talents.

I like this episode very much. *sighs*

Enjoy!

P.S.: Another rescue from this episode will follow. lol

[enviousjam]

was watching the red letter media video where they make fun of metal band names and thought “metal fans are pretty touchy I wonder if they’re gonna get mad at them” and I scroll down and see these gems

[pmfkitns]

huey and dewey comforting louie after they had a fight? bonus points if h and d are glaring at each other, with l unaware

This is one of the most likely episode😹

I remember their argument of the blessed bagpipe. Dewey seemed like a big brother when he conceded that Louie was correct.

[redeemed-wren]

In the Highlanders, the Doctor agrees that Jamie can come with them, as long as he teaches him the bagpipes. However, about a season later in the Abdominable Snowmen, Jamie finds an old set of pipes and comments he could probably fix them, to which the Doctor responds 'I was afraid you'd say that.'

So somewhere between these two episodes, the Doctor’s attitude towards bagpipes has shifted dramatically and I wanna know why. How badly did those lessons go?

[gemsofgreece]

Farya Faraji did it again! This is a great episode presenting most Greek music instruments, while providing a lot of context, information, jokes, history lessons and as always he debunks all the myths and stereotypes about Greek music. In this video he is interviewing Demetrios Dallas, a Greek American polymusician (if that's a term in English) who can literally play ALL.

Chapters:

Intro

Bagpipes and reeds

Flutes and clarinet

Bowed instruments

Lutes

Kanonaki and Santouri

Percussions

Context of Greek music

Regional diversity

Rhythmic patterns

It's always changing

Pitch in the modal traditions

Westernisation and revival

The last chapter is thematically the most important and Farya is at the moment the most well known person / youtuber who calls out this massive misconception about Greek music. You see there is this whole, extremely rigid notion in Western Europe that Greek music was western but it was orientalized because Greeks were conquered by the Turks and were turkified and lost their identity. It was exactly the opposite in fact. Greek music was what you 'd call "eastern" (yes, including ancient Greek music, yes, including Homer times, Pericles times, blah blah blah) and it actually started westernising itself ONLY by the mid to late 19th century, meaning after the independence from the Ottomans and the establishment of the modern Greek state and the reason was the severe trauma of this whole ordeal. After its independence Greece SO did not want to have anything to do with Turkey and the East in general that for the first time it oriented itself totally towards the west in most everything. Farya is a bit bitter about it (you know, being of Iranian descent and interested in folk music and all) but because he's great and very knowledgeable at what he does, there is also all this analysis about how (especially after the population exchange with Turkey in which Anatolian Greeks moved to Greece) the eastern element re-established itself in the country. It remained marginalised for a long time but as it happens with things that are essentially your identity, it resurfaced and almost claimed its natural place. However, the biggest talents and minds of Greek music in the 20th century were largely trained in western music tradition and the music legacy they left behind is so monumental that the Greek music will almost certainly never become again as eastern as it once was. And that's okay because what was produced by these people was so essentially and uniquely Greek that it is now part of the Greek heritage, an eastern foundation glossed in western styles and the product is our trademark modern music.

*I loved when mr Dallas says how he has noticed that this aversion for heritage is being changed by the young generation and how just 20 years ago he could not find anyone in Greece to make him an askomandura and now he picks up the phone and there are at least 20 instrument makers who can do the job. It's amazing and it's not that far from what I was saying some time ago that I see it's the young people who slowly slowly try to make a change.

[brave-symphonia]

Love that Bagpipe is sturdy enough that she can confidently jump on a modified grenade with no worries.

[mayapapaya33]

I'm watching the mid season round table for season 3 episodes 1-6 of tlovm and they're talking about streamlining animation and how much detail is too much and of course Taliesin was immediately pointed at, and they started talking about his obsession with those guns, but all I can think about is Molly's coat. Those poor animators. They're going to need a full separate team just for that damn coat! And his tattoos! You can't get rid of the tattoos, THEY'RE RELEVANT TO THE PLOT LMFAO!!!!!

One's like a peacock or some bullshit to hide the red eye in the tailfeathers hahaha oh no. Beau gets a tattoo to honor him! You can't escape it! Veth gets a face tattoo! Jester learns how to give magic tattoos from Orly (Who is also going to be a nightmare to animate haha oh no, a tortle with bagpipes and moving magic tattoos hahahahahahahahaha and to think, they were grumpy about horses and Trinket!) They have to figure it out!

Now, Beau's is on the back of her neck, so they can probably fudge it and get away with not drawing it most of the time, but then again, she does have short hair so idk maybe they'll give her a high collar on her coat or something lol. I can see them skipping Orly's magic tattoos, but they literally cannot get around Molly's tattoos because of plot, it sets up the big bad of the entire thing, there's no getting around it.

The Magnus Archives, Episode 6 — 10. Thoughts.

I have free will, and I've been spending it on listening to a horror podcast. Aha.

Also, funfact, I write these notes in real time, which is why they're... formatted a bit weirdly.

Statement Begins.

Episode 6 — Squirm.

1. Sex??? Also, we've another Timothy.

1.5. Okay, okay. So, guy takes girl out from bar for one night stand? Okay, sure.

2. The girl may be a, and don't take this a bad way, an addict? Trust me, people get WEIRD when off of drugs. She's catching herself hard, and acting a bit paranoid. Hmm.

2.5. Ooh. Being watched? Why is she acting weird. Also, she got mugged? Yeah, understandable. I've never been mugged but i get PARANOID AF when walking alone. It's bad.

2.6. Oh wait. WAIT. ALIEN PARASITE? SHE GOT STABBED IN THE STOMACH AND— YOOO.

3. Okay. Thank fuck there was no description of sex. I mean, it'd be weird if it was. Anyways, sex happened. Cool.

3.5. Oh shit? Are we gonna have an Alien moment? Chestburtser?

4. OH. OH WHAT THE FUCK??? WORMS? SHE FUCKING EXPLODES INTO ALIEN WORMS OH SHIT.

5. Yeah no, I too would do the same, Timothy. I don't CARE if I get frostbite, I too would burn down the flat. I just know this guy probably showered HARD after. Ugshsh.

6. Sims! Again! I love him. And he seems pretty convinced of this one.

7. Jane Prentiss. A name for later. Woman who may have parasitic aliens, or she's an alien and is making people into like, incubators? Ooh, living hives, or like, that type of wasp who lays eggs in prey and the larva eats out.

Episode 7 — The Piper.

1. WAR EPISODE WAR EPISODE! OH FUCJ YEAH. You can have so much fucked up shit in these type of episodes. Yessss.

1.5. Poor guy, clearly fucked up considering how this is written. Ngl, I understand nothing here, but history has always been my worst subject tbh.

2. Wilfred sounds... deranged. Or maybe he knows something? I keep getting that feeling.

2.5. Music??? Ooh. It's affecting Wilfred, and a bit of our statement giver. Bagpipes, or pan pipes. Rip Wilfred though.

3. Oh shit wait Wilfreds alive. Poor fucker though, imagine just... staying in someone's remains for a week just... starving. God, that's fucked. Real fucked.

3.5. And he's severely traumatised. Understandable. Like, shit man.

4. He met war? War God? WAR EDLRITCH GOD?? 'three faces, one to plat its pipes of crimshawed bone, one to scream its dying battle cry and one that would not open its mouth.' Holy fuck this is hard-core. So, my alien theory might stick, but maybe were dealing with eldritch gods a la lovecraft?

4.5 Wilfred you have such a wonderful way to describe this War God and its killing me. I want this on a shirt. OH THE EPISDOE IS CALLED THE PIPER LIKE HOW WILFRED IS CALLING THE WAR GOD THE PIPER.

4.6. Yeah, Wilfred deserves to get out. That man saw an eldritch god and got out... relatively unharmed. His psyche is fucked though.

5. So, the music foretells someone's death? The Piper plays his pipes and then you know that person will die? Huh...

6. WHY IS WILFRED BACK. THAT MANS BEEN TOUCHED BY AN ELDRITCH CREATURE. I just know things are gonna get FUCKED.

6.5. I was right. Wilfred is feral now. At least he still cares for our... statement giver in a way? Ehhh.

7. And Wilfred is dead. And honestly, me and statement giver are the same here. Wilfred died when peace was made. Wilfred survived, but became similar to the god of war and when peace was made he had to die for there was no more war.

8. Sims, my friend. Joseph Rayner is recognisable? Alright putting that in the Char post. Same with the piper, as I call it.

Episode 8 — Burned Out.

1. Construction, huh? Cool. And a guy who seemed out of a Polaroid. Oh yess.

2. And the guy left a smoldering on the floor? Hmmmmm. Is it like, uhhh, you know fire princess from adventure time? Like that! Guy is made of fire.

2.5. Raymond Fielding, fire guys name. Oh fuck our statement giver has history of family members being schizophrenic? Oh, oh that's gonna make things worse. So worse. (My dad was definitely going schizophrenic in his last days/months and it was bad, especially since his family also had schizophrenia (I.e his father, aka my grandfather.)

2.6. So his dad became obsessed with fractals? Why am I reminded of Uzumaki? Oh my god it is exactly like the Dad from Uzumaki, but using his blood then, uh, turning into a spiral.

2.7. This seems important, especially with the bones in all his hands guy. Putting that up for later.

3. Okay, Hill Top Lore! Oh, Raymond Fielding may be a ghost here. But, he run a orphanage, maybe? Just for eunaways and stuff.

3.5. Okay, name dropped a girl called Agnes. Definitely important. Wait, children stopped causing trouble and less were seen??? Raymond killed the kids, or sacrificed them. I'm calling it.

4. Oh, Agnes was the one? Wait no, maybe Raymond was using Agens as a scape goat? I'm not sure. But Raymond is definitely a ghost.

5. And statement giver is going a bit crazy. Or haunted? And now there's a priest. Raymond is a fire ghost, probably.

6. THE TREE BLEEDS? OH SHIT. THATS OMINOUS. and there goes the tree.

6.5. A box contained an apparently freshly picked apple. What the fuck.

6.6 NOT FUCKING SPIDERS WHY IS IT ALWAYS SPIDERS. I hate spiders. Ughh. Why were they in the apple????

7. Okay, either it was the tree, or the priest somehow got rid of the fire ghost Raymond. Maybe both.

8. Sims again! Ooh, so the priest left a statement too? Hell yeah. Sims, skeptic as usual.

9. Okay, so maybe the town is in on it? Or something? Nothing is adding up.

10. Okay, full name for Agnes is Agnes Montague. Who died at the same day that Lensik uprooted the tree. That's... really fucking ominous. IS THE HAND RAYMONDS???

Episode 9 — A Father's Love.

Okay, gonna have to be honest. I couldn't put notes down until half-way through, just because it kinda fucked me up listening to this.

1. Julia Montauk had a dad who killed for a cult. Who also may have done it so keep his daughter safe.

2. He may have been truing to keep his daughter safe from some dark creature, Literal in this case with the shadows. Eldritch creature? Possible.

3. Fucking hell, this is DARK (not a pun) like, dear god. So, dad is in a cult, kills people for said cult who probably worships this eldritch creature so he can keep his daughter safe.

3.5. I don't know what to write but this shit was definitely ritualistic. Was Juilia going to be the next victim if this didn't happen??

4. What. No seriously, what. At least Sims is here, again. I am very happy for his usual voice.

5. The peoples Church of the Divine Host, cult made by minister, oh Rayner! Different first name, but it's the same last name. Maybe Maxwell is Joseph's kid? Hm.

6. And the dad died by eldritch shadow creature. There is literally no explanation. Okay sure.

Episode 10 — Vampire Killer.

1. So, Trevor Herbert, Vampire Killer. Okay, and he's dying of lung cancer, fuck.

2. Like this take on Vampires. More animal then anything? Wild. And he was taken in by a Vampire? Even wilder.

2.5. And she killed his brother. Shit. Also, once again, love the take on vampires here. Still Horrifying though.

3. Hey, at least he killed her. Almost fucking caught fire, but eh. Also, another vampire and I fucking hate the descriptions in a good way. Ugh. These things seem more like leeches.

4. Oh! Martin refremce. Wonder how long he has been in the archives for considering he witnesses the statement? And Herbert suxxumed to cancer, damn.

5. Well, there was also evidence, but the teeth are gone. And the government seems to take this seriously.

And that's that. More sectioned in some places, but I have been listening to this podcast through the past few hours. So...

Anyways, I've decided Tim is now a vampire, especially since his last name is fucking Stoker. Also, just realised a few people in these statements have last names corresponding to horror authors. Love it.

Also, I have decided that instead of aliens, it's eldritch gods. Like, specifically, lovecraft version. Makes a bit more sense to me I admit.

I better see a guy whos lastmame is Shelley, or Du Maurier. Or even Maberry.

Statement Ends.
