I was planning to draw today but instead I learned Legend of Zelda songs on my Kalimba.

[kingnuggets]

add ocarina dlc to totk just for me though because I still think music based Zelda games are the best lol

Except the dlc is free because the game is 70 doll hairs

To be fair it’s from a whole opera called Orpheus in the Underworld, which is a comedy… the song itself is called Galop Infernal because it’s a dance at a ball in hell.

The more you know…

Oh this reminds me so much of the song Mar y Cielo by Los panchos.

The corus is:

El mar y el cielo se ven igual de azules

Y en la distancia parece que se unen

Mejor es que recuerdes que el cielo es siempre cielo

Que nunca, nunca, nunca el mar lo alcanzará

Permíteme igualarme con el cielo

Que a ti te corresponde ser el mar

Which translates to:

The sea and sky look equally blue

And at a distance it looks like they join

But its better if you remember that the sky is always sky

And never,never, never will the sea reach it

Let me compare myself to the sky

Because you are meant to be the sea

fire x water is actually an overrated and overused trope. we’re now using sky x sea to portray soulmatism. which one in the ship represents the sky and which one represents the sea?

Listened to the full lyrics of Long Face and I love them, and I have some random thoughts on the lyrics. Interesting meaning behind the words with the piano analogy.

The words are obviously meant to represent Lestat’s thoughts about Louis, and what I find interesting is that they see each other the same way. Makes me wonder who wrote the song. Did Lestat write it to put himself in Louis shoes in an attempt to understand him, or in response to the scene from Season 1 episode 2 after Louis kills the agent and they burn the body.

Louis sees their differences in terms of the world they live in and how others see them. Creole/French; Black man/white man; Queer/????? Etc. Lestat on the other hand sees their differences in more idolized romantic terms…basically how they see each other not how the world sees them.

Or was the song written as a duet with maybe Louis also writing Lestat a letter with the latter putting it to music. It’s a tin foil idea but the lyrics sound almost how Louis would describe the two of them…not the other way around.

If you asked Louis how he saw Lestat, he would say that he was filled with fire and energy. And it turns out that’s how Lestat sees Louis. Fire to his calmer self (LOL). But then again, you never see yourself the way others see you.

On the other hand, Lestat is always questing for love and so on that level, the lyrics do makes sense. The song also matches up to his thoughts about Louis when he first sees him pull a knife on Paul. And while Lestat always wants to test the boundaries, he’s always been lonely, which definitely matches up to how he sees himself in the song. Louis fills the void in him.

The lyrics are all about two pianos creating a harmonious sound. Makes me wonder if that’s what he was practicing with his board and Siri. Was he writing the lyrics then. Lestat sees them as opposites who together create the perfect sound.

I’m piano (quiet)

And you’re forte (loud and strong)

You’re Allegro (lively)

I’m Andante (slow or moderate pace)

We’re Bolero (here he’s talking about Ravel’s Bolero, which is basically a repeated melody that builds and builds to include the entire orchestra. It was also originally published as a piano duet.

He’s also saying that his stage persona is not him. He’s an actor wearing makeup. Louis knows the real him but Louis keeps running and he’s calling him out on it. It also interesting that he says “I get fatter, when we breakup.” That suggests some type of spiraling on his part when he and Louis break up. He gets fatter on the blood. The Rock Documentary is for Louis.

I’m very interested to see where season three starts because the lyrics almost sound like they got back together and Louis did one of his bunker like in the books and just disappeared.

Of course, the song is likely just an encapsulation of their relationship as it will be covered going forward and not about any specific off screen event. If so, we’re in for a treat.

Season 3 can’t get here soon enough for me.

1920s BIRTHSTONE LOOKBOOK - PART 2

Welcome back to the glitz and glamour of the 1920s birthstone lookbook! After hair, jewellery is my favourite CC to hunt for so these ensembles were so much fun for me to put together. Want more good time gals and fabulous flappers? You can check out part one here.

Ruby is one of the most expensive gemstones and with its rich red colour it isn't hard to see why. Rubies have long been connected with physicality and strength, thought to be intimately connected with the human body.

Hair | Earrings (TSR) | Necklace (TSR) | Dress | Gloves | Bracelets | Ring (TSR) | Shoes (TSR)

Peridot is one of my favourite stones thanks to its gorgeous yellow-green hue. Because of this lively appearance they were often thought to protect their wearer at night.

Sapphire is considered a protective gemstone. They may shield the wearer from physical harm, as well as bad intentions and envy. It was also thought that sapphires had medicinal properties.

Hat | Hair | Earrings | Necklace (TSR) | Coat | Gloves & Stockings (Base Game) | Shoes

Opal is an incredibly unique gemstone with its multi-coloured appearance. Opals are associated with light and magic, with some crediting them with healing properties.

Topaz comes from the Sanskrit word for fire, which is reflected in its vibrant and rich orange-yellow colour. It is believed that topaz worn above the heart assures long life, beauty and intelligence.

Hair | Hairband | Earrings | Choker (TSR) | Coat | Dress | Gloves (Vampires) | Shoes

Blue Topaz actually comes out of the ground colourless or pale blue. A two-step heat and radiation laboratory treatment is then used to turn these stones vivid blue.

Wore something fun and cute to accompany my partner to vote today, then get coffee. I've discovered the secret to getting myself to wear lolita more consistently in just two days: cardigans.

I don't know why, but throwing a cardigan over a dress is instant gratification and somehow immediately more wearable than dealing with blouses.

Guess I need to invest in more boleros and cardigans instead of new blouses like I'd been planning?

[the-starry-lycan]

There’s no way Link is straight. Nuh uh. You’re telling me this 19 year old here has absolutely no feelings for his fellow, Shiek? Just look at the cutscene for the Bolero Of Fire. If that isn’t romantic, I don’t know what is. The way the camera moves!! The look when Shiek just watches Link!! I can’t get enough of it haha..

(And yes, I called him Mew..)
