we need full on classical music concerts where the musicians on stage are decked out in lolita fashion or even just rococo fashion. Like. I wanna perform on stage in a gothic dreamy theatre wearing gothic lolita so that it matches my clarinet. I yearn for the day I could wear it instead of my concert dress blacks… 💔

Today I will remember the extraordinary soprano Adelina Patti (1843-1919). Here we see this antique Postcard from 1898.
Spanish-born soprano who was one of the greatest of her century.
The Spanish-born soprano Adelina Patti was the most renowned singer in Europe and the United States for over 30 years. She was born in 1843, the youngest of three children, into a family of opera singers and musicians. Her parents were opera performers well known in Europe by the time of Patti's birth in Madrid, where they were on tour. Her Italian father was Salvatore Patti; her Spanish mother was Caterina Chiesa Barili-Patti , known before her marriage as Signora Barili. Caterina also had four children from an earlier marriage, and all seven of her children would enjoy successful careers as singers.
When Adelina Patti was four the family moved to New York, where her father became an opera house manager. Her half-brother Ettore Barili gave Patti voice lessons starting at age five; by the age of seven Adelina was recognized as a child prodigy and the next year she gave her debut concert at New York City's Tripler Hall. Audiences and critics at subsequent concerts were stunned by the maturity, range, and purity of her voice. Her success in New York led to a three-year tour of American cities, unprecedented for such a young child, from 1851 to 1854. A second concert tour followed in 1857. Patti's sister Amelia Patti was married to the renowned pianist Maurice Strakosch; he took care of Adelina while on tour and served as her manager, instructor, and accompanist. She received only a minimal education, although her family background and musical training made her fluent in Spanish, French, Italian, and English. Her parents and Strakosch continued training Patti in the demands of operatic singing until they felt she was prepared to sing opera professionally. They arranged for her critically praised debut in the title role of Lucia di Lammermoor at the New York Academy of Music in 1859; she was 16, and would perform in opera continually for the next half-century, enjoying a career that was decades longer than that of most opera singers. Soon after her debut Patti faced serious family crises, as her father's struggling opera house failed and her mother left the family in 1860 to return to Rome. Patti then began to provide much of the family's income through her performances.
She toured the eastern United States and the West Indies from 1859 to 1861. In 1861, she went abroad, under the care of her father and Strakosch, to perform in La sonnambula at the Covent Garden opera house in London. She was enthusiastically received in London, where she was to perform every autumn for 25 years.
Patti remained on tour in Europe virtually continuously for 20 years, not returning to New York until 1881. She played to crowded houses in Berlin, Brussels, Amsterdam, Vienna, Paris, and across Italy. The operatic roles she chose ranged from light comedy, which she preferred, to tragedy, but whatever role she appeared in, critics were universal in their praise of her acting ability and the emotive power of her voice.
While in Paris in 1866, through her friendship with Empress Eugénie , Patti met the aristocrat Louis de Cahuzac, marquis de Caux, who served as a personal servant to the French emperor Napoleon III. They wished to marry but the marquis was not allowed to retain his privileged position at the French court if he married a working woman. Since Patti would not consider giving up her career, de Caux eventually resigned his post. This freed the couple to marry in 1868, when the new marchioness was 25 years old and her husband 42; however, the marriage lasted less than a decade, and they obtained a legal separation in 1877. As Patti was by then a celebrity throughout Europe and the United States, her marital problems brought scandal to the opera world and were the subject of often sensationalistic newspaper articles in many of the countries she had performed in. In the divorce suit, de Caux charged Patti with an adulterous affair with her co-star, Italian tenor Ernesto Nicolini. She admitted to the affair, but maintained in her defense that de Caux was jealous, controlling, and violent, and that he allowed her no access to her substantial income. The divorce would be finalized in 1885, when de Caux was awarded a settlement of $300,000 from Patti. Freed at last from her unhappy marriage, Patti married Nicolini a few months later.
Despite her personal problems during the separation and divorce, Patti continued to travel widely. She did a concert tour on her return to New York in 1881, followed by two operatic tours of the United States. Throughout the 1880s and 1890s, she was the most highly paid and most visible singer in Europe and the United States, receiving press coverage for her appearances as well as for her shocking personal life, legendary jewel collection, enormous wealth, and for her demanding, often capricious personality. She maintained homes across Europe, where she was friends with and frequently host to Europe's royalty and aristocracy. Her fame even led to mentions in contemporary literature and drama, such as Tolstoy's Anna Karenina and Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Patti gave a farewell performance at the New York Metropolitan Opera House in 1887. She and Nicolini then left for another extended tour abroad, performing in Spain and Argentina. In 1895, at age 52, Patti gave six farewell appearances at Covent Garden. She and Nicolini then went into semi-retirement on an estate in Wales called Craig-y-Nos Castle which Patti had purchased some years before, and where she lived with Nicolini prior to their marriage. Patti adopted Wales as the native land she had never truly had, and was respected by the Welsh for her generosity to charitable causes and to her poor neighbors.
Ernesto Nicolini died in 1898. Patti, age 56, remarried a year later. Her third husband, a Swedish aristocrat named Baron Rolf Cederström, was a former military officer who, at the time Patti met him in 1897, was director of the Health Gymnastic Institute in London. At the time of their marriage, Cederström was only 28; their age difference and his occupation made the renowned opera star once again the subject of a flood of news articles and gossip columns.
The urgings of Patti's American fans called her back to the stage in 1903, when she began her last operatic tour at New York's Carnegie Hall. Although Patti was by then considerably older than most opera singers were at retirement, audiences were still moved by her powerful performances. In 1906, at age 63, she made her formal farewell appearance at Albert Hall in London. She also made numerous recordings which have preserved her work and demonstrate the remarkable purity and range which captivated her admirers and which had once led the composer Giuseppe Verdi to call Patti the greatest voice he had ever heard.
Adelina Patti was called out of retirement to perform occasionally at charity events in Wales and England through 1914, when she left the stage for good at age 71. She spent the remaining five years of her life at Craig-y-Nos Castle, where she died in 1919, at age 76. At her wish, her husband buried her in the celebrity cemetery Père Lachaise in Paris. He eventually remarried, selling Craig-y-Nos Castle to the Welsh National Memorial Association which converted it into the Adelina Patti Hospital. The hospital remained in operation until 1986, when the castle and its grounds were turned into a national park and cultural center.

Adults: A music teacher?
Me:Haha maybe, but I also want to be teacher for the core subjects!
Highschool me: Idk I've considered maybe being a therapist in the future?
Adults: Oh like music therapy?
Highschool me: haha, maybe I'll include some techniques of music therapy, but I'm actually more interested in traditional talk therapy.
Me now: ooo I want to learn how to sound design!
Others: Oh that will be useful for music!
Me: haha yah, absolutely will probably take music gigs, but I'm actually more intrigued on the SFX/Dialogue side of things!
Me: I think I want to do something science related, maybe physics, but honesty geology looks cool so who knows.
Teacher: You should do Acoustic physics.
Me: haha maybe, but I really am more interested in stuff like astrophysics, paleontology, or geology.
PLEEEEASE I KNOW I'M A MUSICIAN! I KNOW I'VE BEEN DOING IT AS A KID! BUT NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO GO BACK TO MY LOVE OF MUSIC. I CAN HAVE OTHER INTERESTS AND PASSIONS OUTSIDE OF MUSIC!!!!!!

I actually have very strong opinions on akechi's music taste so here's some Takes
his mother was a lounge singer previously and he ended up getting into jazz because of her. grew up on nina simone, billie holiday, sinatra, amy winehouse, ect (there's definitely japanese jazz/blues singers here, my knowledge of japanese music just doesn't go there unfortunately)
he mostly listens to music at jazz jin, though. partially because he genuinely likes hearing local artists, partially because he so rarely can afford distractions
he's very annoying about his taste being better than other people's
he's also annoying about listening to music on anything other than a phone. records, cds, ect. he maintains its better to just go to bars and cafes with live music.
he collects records. probably post game but still
and actual music:
lana del rey. seriously. I think her more melancholic, blues inspired stuff would hit for him. specifically ultraviolence, norman fucking rockwell, and blue banisters)
kate bush
amy winehouse (I think his mother listened to her a lot. sometimes it's hard because he now understands the reason his mother likely played her so often, but at the same time there's a level of connection. he feels its ironic that he relates to a lot of these too.)
ella fitzgerald (he found a bunch of cds of her at one of his foster homes and recognized her as someone his mom would've liked. he doesn't recall ever listening to any of her work prior, though)
fleetwood mac
lyn, obviously
the vast majority of his music is niche, local jazz artists in tokyo. lots of jam session recordings, mixtapes he acquired through muhen, ect

Im. sorprised abt how into a human/modern muco au i am. Idk smth abt it. The isolationist themes. Also they would be a musican. I mean theyd have some job they can do from their computer at home but for the most part they'd be a musican. Completely self isolated in a little apartment. Musican as in they were trained as a kid in classical, probably some operatic stuff, now makes the most rancid horrible noise stuff w some lingua ignota vibes <3 and i shall doodle them a little w gyuu band au bc tee hee! More on that under cut its more sillay stuff so.

Love Händel Headcanons
cw for allusions to drugs, sex, disordered eating, homo & transphobia, sexism
|All Three|
• they were all born around 1960
• they all met in high school
○ Danny met Swampy when he was running late one day. he went to lock up his bike while Swampy was smoking in the bike shed. Danny bummed a cigarette off him and they started chatting
○ Bobbi and Swampy had been aware of each other (they'd both been in band in middle school) but didn't properly meet until they got kicked out of class on the same day
○ at some point, both Dan and Bob sat with Swamps at lunch on the same day. then the next. and then the next. and then--
• They all had interest in hard rock before meeting but Bobbi was actually the one to introduce them to metal music and the metal scene
• they held regular but informal jam sessions for years, using the dilapidated shed in Danny's backyard before ever forming a band
• the decision to start a band came during an early 80s blunt sesh. they were having a deep conversation about what they wanted out of life. none of them wanted to go to college or join the corporate world or start a family. danny always dreamed of being a rock star. and since they were all musicans, yeah, why not!
• 'Music Makes Us Better' is what their typical repertoire sounded like back in the day, and 'Snuck Your Way' was their odd ball. though when they reformed they experimented more and became less strictly metal
• they never had a manager; they always split their earnings three-ways. in the early years they took turns organizing gigs and venues
• they grew a small, dedicated fanbase in their early years, being big fish in a small pond in the Tri-State Area music scene. by the mid-80s they were popular enough to be featured in independent subculture magazines and college radio shows, and eventually started touring the country by '84
• however, they didn't sell out many venues until they blew up in popularity with 'You Snuck Your Way into My Heart'
• overall Love Händel was started in '81, and their career lasted from '82 until '97
• Sherman was the first to leave the band. since he was the Heart™, Love Händel folded days later (the concert Linda and Lawrence went to wasn't a planned farewell concert, it was just the last show before they broke up. it just became colloquially known as The Farewell Concert)
• they are dudes from the 80s; they're all emotionally constipated. gave each other a lot of the classic "dude are being vulnerable rn? what are you, a girl?" type of shit. so a LOT of their conflicts are caused by suppressed emotions finally blowing up and their inability to communicate with each other
• honestly they could be pretty vicious with their banter at times; if you overheard them then you'd think they despised each other.
• though tbh if anyone outside of their trio ever gave one of them even 10% the attitude they have each other, the other two would flip their shit ("fuck you YOU can't talk to him like that! only we can!")
• and that said, after the events of DWGTBBT when they decide to try being friends again, they elect to go to group therapy (affectionately referred to as 'couples therapy' and 'our rock'n'roll guidance counselor'). that, plus their "old age", has softened them up a bit
• they explored each other's bodies--*armed guards tackle me to the ground*
• back in the day their favorite movies to rent together are 'Buckaroo Banzai', 'Rock: Its Your Decision' (esp while stoned), and 'This Is Spin̈al Tap'. For the holidays, they like to throw on the 'Black Christmas' and 'Muppets Christmas Carol'
• they're all snobby in their own ways; Danny with music esp rock, Bobbi with fashion and art, and Sherman with literature and classic comedy (though he's the least likely to be a dick about it)
• they all have poor self-esteem in their own, though similar, ways; at various points in their lives, they've all been made to feel like they were obnoxious and "too much". they found solace in music and in each other. playing together makes them feel special, accepted, or useful
• they informally reformed after DWGTBBT, usually playing at local events while Sherman was on his lunch break (technically Bob and Danny were on break too but they're their own bosses so their breaks could be whenever). they officially reformed full-time before the events of Across the 2nd Dimension. they were setting off for their reunion tour when the Normbots attacked
|Danny|
• his full name is Daniel Alexander Makriyannis
• was an only child, but grew up close with several cousins who were basically siblings
• Greek American; his dad's parents immigrated in the 1920s, his mom was born in Greece but moved to the US as a kid to live with an aunt
• grew up in Peoria Illinois where his upbringing was painfully average
• got his first guitar for his 10th birthday
• before then, he started spending a lot of his free time just hanging out at the local music store, and eventually became a pseudo-son figure to the store owner, Mac
• when he was 12 he was actually hired (under the table) at the store as his first job. he mainly did small jobs like cleaning and moving stock in the backroom. he was promoted to cashier around 14
• his dad worked as a desk jockey at a toy factory and was transferred when Danny was 16, forcing the family to move to Danville
• naturally, Danny was devastated about leaving behind his friends, family, and city to move to the suburbs
• for years he was the only member of the band who has ever had a driver license
• cis bi man; it didn't click until he was 30. he'd always been aware of his attraction to men but subconsciously repressed/downplayed it ("its totally normal to get horny looking at dudes and for your heart to hurt when you see queer shit it doesn't make me gay im straight iM STRAIGHT")
• hasn't been with a man before, but dated several women over the years
• a couple of years after the band broke up, he met and was briefly married to a woman named Trish, but that started and fizzled out in <3 years.
• as a young man, his main flirting tactic was to flex his knowledge of and opinions on music. he usually came across as a dick so it never really worked
• not really an athlete but definitely the most active and physically fit of the band. he weight trains and goes for runs at least once week
|Bobbi|
• his full name is Robert Eric Gaitán
• an only child
• naturally brunette. naturally hairy too but shaves his body
• whenever he has a cold, he sounds like Candace-on-parsnips
• grew up Catholic. neither he nor his parents were very religious, they just went to church on Sundays and for big holidays because, well, "that's what you do"
• he was only in the church choir for a couple of years, but it really helped him develop his vocal range. it also taught him how to read sheet music
• his parents are from Mexico. his father was a tailor and his mother was seamstress, and they met when they started working in the same shop in Monterrey
• they later eloped to america, where they moved around a lot (Bobbi was born in Chicago) before settling in Danville when he was little
• his parents never taught him Spanish while he was growing up. it was not out of shame, just studies at the time thought speaking Spanish at home would make it harder for kids to learn English, and they wanted to give him a headstart (in fact, they were ecstatic when he chose Spanish as his language class in high school)
• his parents didn't pressure him into joining the family business, but they insisted on teaching him the basics of mending clothes. as a tween he asked to be taught how to read patterns and how to use the sewing machine
• he's a cis(ish) gay man; he's known since was 11 or 12
• when he realized he was gay he broke down and was despondent for several days. he felt like he HAD to tell his parents and it took him weeks to build up the courage to do so
• his parents, for their part, were surprisingly okay with it (if in a fearful "don't tell anyone, this stays within the family, don't act gay in public, this is your cross to bear. love you <3" kinda way)
• honestly they were way more distraught when he dropped out of college to be in Love Händel
• he's been naturally fey his whole life but starting in middle school he did his best to hide it, mostly by keeping quiet. when he spoke he tried to keep his voice low, giving short clipped responses, and he'd sit on his hands or cross his arms to keep from being expressive. during interviews with the band, it made him come across as rude and cold, so he was the least popular among fans
• however, he let himself relax and be himself around his closest friends (including Danny and Sherman ofc). and when the band broke up he had a "fuck it" moment and stopped masking all together, letting his genuine personality shine through all the time.
• he hasn't officially come out of the closet to the public, though his sexuality has been an open secret in the industry for years
• has had a poor relationship with food most of his life. he's never been officially diagnosed with an ED, but his eating habits are definitely disordered and unhealthy. he passed out from hunger multiple times in the 80s and 90s.
• in high school he had a deep connection with an exchange student from Montreal named Wendel Ngo that definitely would've turned romantic if either of them acted on it
• a hopeless romantic but has the worst luck dating. like, murphy's law levels of bad luck. the men he dated weren't awful, it just seemed that something crazy would happen early in the relationship that'd end it. like, a-boulder-crashing-through-the-café-they're-in-and-running-his-date-over levels of crazy
• simultaneously touch-starved and avoidant as hell
• is genuinely a talented hairdresser, just his signature 'do is, well, his signature! plus one of the most popular styles requested at his salon
• went bald due to the stress of the band dissolving, malnutrition, and because hair bleach in the 80s was straight up corrosive
• he has a French bulldog named Basquiat whom he spoils rotten. she's not allowed on the couch though (she gets her own)
|Swampy|
• his full name is Sherman Lee Lundy (his birth name was Marcia Anne)
• has a sister named Glenda who's 2.5 years younger than him, plus half-siblings he's never met
• his parents never married. his father left when his mom was pregnant with his sister
• since said mother had to work A LOT to keep her kids fed, they were basically raised by their Nana
• he got the nickname 'Swampy' from his Nana--his mother called him 'Marshy' as a baby and because his Nana is a real Wise Guy™ started calling him Swampy, and it stuck.
• trans & bi; he's known he was a boy since he was little but didn't realize he was into men until high school
• similar to Ringo, he was "The Weird One" but got the most fan mail
• also got laid the most, though didn't date very much (it was easier to stay stealth while making out in a car at night than while going out to dinner)
• slouches so much because 1) drummer 2) he didn't get top surgery until his 40s so he tried to make his chest smaller that way 3) tbh when you read you have to slouch majority of the time
• his Nana was pretty supportive, if clueless. like she never really "got" what "transgender" was, but if little Swampy hated his name and wanted to he referred to as a boy, that was fine by her ("I used to be in vaudeville, I've known plenty of inverts").
• when he hit puberty and his boobs started coming in, she dug through their attic and found an old sewing pattern for a Symington Side Lacer--a proto-binder from the '20s, meant to achieve flat silhouettes. she made Swampy a few lacers of his own, including the mesh one he wore on tour
• though he didn't get his name legally changed until he was an adult, he picked out the name Sherman for himself as a little kid; he named himself after Herman Munster but "didn't want to make it too obvious"
• his mom was too busy with work to really react or intervene with his transition. one time she came home early and walked in on him chopping all his hair off. she just sighed, pinched her nose, and told him to sweep up when he was done
• since he's been openly a boy pretty much her whole life, his sister didn't know he was trans until they were adults; when she was little, she saw baby photos of a girl who wasn't her and heard mentions of a 'Marcia'. when she asked Nana and Swampy about "her" they hastily said things like "no one, don't worry about it" so. she became convinced she had an older sister who died that no one brought up because it was too painful
• as a tween, Glenda had a short crocheting phase (it was the 70s after all), and Sherm picked it up after she dropped it. It's something he still does to this day
• he was a classic hyper 'he's not dumb he's just bored' ADHD kid when he was little
• always had an interest in learning music, but was directed towards the drums to get his energy out. fortunately it became his passion
• he's best at drums, but he knows how to play A LOT of instruments; guitar, piano, trumpet, marimbas/xylophone, the theramin
• i know 'chaotic gremlin energy' is considered cringy tumblr speak or whatever, but there's no other way for me to describe him as a young man. weed REALLY mellowed him out
• always loved reading and read through all the books in his house multiple times. even the dictionary
• honestly because of he's so well read he has info/trivia/quotes for almost any situation
• refuses to elaborate on what he was doing in a metronome factory in the first place
• he loves most genres of literature and fiction, though never really got into poetry
• just one of those people who's naturally good with kids. at family gatherings and stuff the kids just gravitate towards him
• because of that and working in the library for so long, he's the most up to date with what's cool with the kids these days. he's still considered Uncool though
• keeps in regular contact with his sister and Nana, calling them at least once a week but often more. not as close with his mom but they're friendly and talk when they run into each other.

a short list of historical figures who were queer: because I need people to understand that queer people have always been here.
with sources, because I am, after all, a historian.
Most of these figures are musicans, it is because I am studying to be a historical musicologist (basically a music historian).
Leonard Berenstein– (1918-1990) Composer, conductor, musician. Known for his musical West Side Story. Most likely a gay man, perhaps bisexual. While there are plenty of letters and first hand confirmations that exist, this Guardian article conveys the information well enough.
Pytor Illich Tchaikovsky– (1840-1892) Russian composer, best known for his ballets: Swan Lake, and the Nutcracker, as well as his 1812 Overture, which features canon fire (and has become a meme on Tumblr). A gay man, as confirmed by multiple historians that have dedicated their life to his research, and by me, who spent a few weeks translating letters that talk about his love for men and his fear of what that would do to his life. This article talks about John Wiley (a historian) had to say about it.
Benjamin Britten– (1913-1976) Known for his vocal compositions, if you are an english classically trained vocalist you know Britten's compositions. Known especially for his War Requiem and his opera Peter Grimes. He and fellow musician Peter Pears had a long lived relationship. This article speaks about it more.
Ethel Smyth– (1857-1944) A lifelong disrupter, demanded (rightly so) for people to listen to her music in a time where women were not given the space to compose. A lesbian who fought for the right for women to perform and be a part of orchestras and conductor her own works when women conducters were few and far between. This article, written by a woman, speaks on her life well.
Francis Poulenc– (1899-1963) A Parisian man with a marked love of mostly men, but did father one daughter and dedicated a few compositions to her mother. This article speaks well on his love.
Alan Turing– (1912-1954) A gay icon of mine, Turing was a British Mathmetician and codebreaker who you have to thank for your phone and for the earlier end of the second World War. This article speaks about his life, as well as the film Imitation Game (2014) discusses it to some extent.
Freddie Mercury–(1946-1991) The beloved lead singer of the band Queen was a notourious queer icon, who had many love affairs with men but did say that he loved one woman when he was younger, for this reason, I will not say whether he was bisexual or gay. But a queer icon nonetheless. This article discusses the topic.
David Bowie– (1947-2016) A performer I have always loved and dearly miss, who is known for his bisexuality and fantastic outfits. This Billboard article discusses his sexuality. But it is important to note, that he came out as gay first, and then bisexual, which does not mean he was changing his mind or wanting to conform, but instead was becoming more comfortable with his own sexuality as he aged, something that should be a more generally accepted thing.
Leonardo da Vinci– (1452-1519) While there are guesses about this mans sexuality, it is generally believed and agreed upon that he was at least queer. While more research must be done, this article speaks on the subject well enough.
There are plenty more that I could talk about and that I want to talk about but that would take so long.
The most important thing: Queer people have always been here, and they are amazing and beautiful and deserved so much better than what history gave them.
Please reply with more (and sources) if you have them.

very musey rn and still in a starter writing mood <3 like for a starter from the muses below and pls comment your preference for muse/plot or i'll dm you
Tumblr media
anthony lee — 28, medium/café owner, bisexual, fc: greg hsu
maybe a muse who's a regular/co-worker with a crush on him?
someone he used to know before he dropped out of med school
maybe they're exes.... kind of the power couple back then that people thought were going to places but neither of their lives turned out as expected
ghost in his apartment/cafe or anything supernatural!
he's brought to a blind date gathering thingy as his friend's support animal and oh wow actually glad he's here cause it's how he met your muse who's maybe a bit jaded in love but hit the jackpot with him (they both did) </3
Tumblr media
pak seojung — 26, verse dependent, homosexual, fc: cha eunwoo
heir verse: our muses are in love except he's set up for an arranged marriage.... childhood best friends who are also rivals turned lovers <333
musican/idol verse: secret relationship with another celebrity/someone he works with/someone he knew before he's famous, or a pr relationship turned too real???
assassin/mutant verse: our muses knew each other before they got kidnapped to the academy to be trained into ruthless killers? they could be each other's lifeline </3
Tumblr media
im hana — 28, assassin, bisexual, fc: han sohee
two criminals (could be another assassin, a mafia associate she works for, etc.) who fell in love accidentally when collaborating together, maybe both are allergic to emotions but they're so attached they act like an old married couple oops
a throuple within said criminal organisation... imagine
two assassins trying to hunt each other down and it becomes near obsessive... a classic i can never get enough of
she's assigned to be your muse's bodyguard and she's terribly, TERRIBLY annoyed cause that's literally not part of the job description
someone unhinged and obsessed with her... could kill for a totally different reason (to her it's just a job) or even a serial k*ller
someone she hooks up with under an alias and is unfortunately falling for her... could be someone out of the criminal world and totally oblivious. or, plot twist what if they appear on her hitlist or if THEY are the one who has to kill her... tragic
someone who showed her warmth when she's in her darkest period... could be her only friend in life </3
Tumblr media
song yuna — 30, con artist/art forger, bisexual, fc: im jinah
honestly most plots for hana applies for her minus the m*rder and stuff... the emotion phobia stays
begrudgingly partners in crime in a heist, they hate each other but oops she might have saved their ass or vice versa and it's awkward cause maybe they don't hate each other as much as they thought...
give me a cliché she's patching up a wounded person or she's getting patched up, maybe that's when they realise the other isn't as bad as they thought??? or maybe they've always had feelings for each other and it takes a near death situation for it to spill
LISTEN but i'm obsessed with this: two con artists who spend their grand holiday spewing lies to each other and accidentally fall in love, only to realise they're being lied to?????? maybe they become partners in crime then... a true power couple, maybe they run
childhood best friends reuniting... your muse could be one of her mother's terrible friends' child and they both basically got raised by a bunch of criminal addicts who were awful parents, no they raised themselves tbh

Exactly 202 years ago today, on June 18, 1821 Carl Maria von Weber conducted the world premiere of his opera "Der Freischütz" in the Royal Theater Berlin. An overwhelming success.
The two postcards from 1904 and 1903 show the romanticism of this work.

What is your favorite musician/band?
this is the hardest question. i listen to a lot of solo artists. im going to infodump my current listening habits rn.
car seat headrest is probably my favorite band. god damn it shane madej stop messing with my music taste. i love how hard certain lyrics hit you like bricks, and the way they sing is so ???? entrancing?? relaxing?? idk. its nice to listen to rock, i dont listen to rock very often. also i can tell alot of it was made by a 20 something, its got college kid energy /pos
Limbo is a classic for a lo-fi indie pop vibe. also shes a super cool person and is so nice. cant wait for her new stuff!!
phoebe bridgers, obviously. kyoto and i know the end <3
taylor swift, obviously. i really only listen to fearless tv, speak now, a little of midnights, and our song. listened to her at 8 so its very nostalgic.
chloe moriondo started soft indie, turned closer to alt?? idk LOUD and very for the girlies. she brings a "im going to punch cocky men with my hello kitty boxing gloves" energy to suckerpunch that some people dont seem to like. she slays
PINK PANTHERESS: to hell with it is literally no skip, i have the entire thing memorized. absolute genius.
porter robinson: i fell in love when shelter was posted and now im obsessed with the song musican. anything describing the creative process is always super cool. my current morning alarm song
tv girl: the only other band i listen to. city pop vibes??? indie pop. ive heard that their music is sexist but??? idk???? interpreting lyrics is hard sometimes, i always took it as sarcastic.
others in my rotation: dodie, girl in red, hayley kioko, mxmtoon, beabeadoobee, miracle musical, conan gray, clairo, cavetown, hozier, mitski, penelope scott, wallows.
70ish music recs: billy joel, elo, elton john, dolly, chicago, abba
i also listen to 80s japanese city pop, general lofi music, general trendy songs (like tiktok songs n stuff) and muppet soundtracks. (moving right along is SO GOOD)
