I got hyperhixated on a song "Operation" by Coppelius, where the plot tells about a medicine student who takes part in his friend's duel and when he got shot in the heart, the student took his hunting knife and pulled the bullet out, not paying attention to his friend's death. Moreover, this song is in German! I conducted a small research about duel history of Germany and found out that duels were prohbited in 1937, so assuming Medic is approximately 45 in 1962 when tf2 takes place, he could be in his twenties in 1937, which allows me to take this song as a headcanon

Драсте!

Hello!

Считаю что во многие игры стоит поиграть, по этому наконец скачала Геншин. Звучит как название анекдота, хах. Понравились многие персонажи но большее впечатление произвели Коппелия и Коппелиус. Они являются мини боссом в локации Фонтейна, и невероятно красивые, так что я не могла и не нарисовать!

I think that many games should play, on this finally downloaded Genshin. Sounds like anecdote, hah. Many characters liked but more impression made Coppelia and Coppelius. They are a mini boss in Fontaine location, and incredibly beautiful, so I couldn't and not draw!

Если интересно то шляпа под их портретами это эскиз будущего украшения сделанного по их мотивам, а если быть точнее то за основную идею я взяла части масок расположенные на их головах. А на этом у меня всё, надеюсь я не пропаду ещё на месяц!

If interesting the hat under their portraits is sketch future decoration made on their motives, and if be more precisely the main idea I took parts of masks located on their heads. And I hope I won't miss it for a month!

~^-^~

Girlies, Buoys and other friendlies, guess who is back on the Genshin phone experience because I just couldn't stand being unable to play anymore. It's been a year and a half since my pc refused to play the game and 6 months since I decided Honkai SR would be better. I can't. I need Neuvillette. I need to have him in my hands and squish him and kiss him. All the underwater things I find and kill are yours, please just come home Chief Justice.

BABAAAA LOOK AT THEM OOOO SO CHONKY little blub blub babo I adore you with all my heart.

My pride and joy every big patch is to collect all the books that I can. When will I read them? Who knows, honestly. I had so much fun reading 'The Fox and the Sea of Dandelions', so I really want to know about the Fontaine fables. I'm going in so blind you can call me Mrs. Echolocation.

Is this good?

I got the entire set with simmilar stuff. Suppose whoever needs them is gonna be lucky.

I'm also missing so much food aaa

Only 450 egg rolls. We need to get them to 700 again.

Uh... SIR? I mean, yeah I just came to your town and it all looks posh and pretty and people are well-dressed and all your food has sugar in it for whatever reason. As a person who enjoys being salty you're surprisingly inefficient in using it.

I ADORE ADORE THE COPELIUS AND COPELLIA DANCERS SO MUCH THANK YOU HOYOVERSE FOR MAKING THEM DANCE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION BECAUSE THAT IS THE COOLECT BOSS EVER IN MY LIFE THANK

---

After that brief intervention of me staring at them for 20 minutes and chasing them with my screen in the middle of the stage, we're back to looking for stuff.

I want to craft the weapons for Fontaine, I heard they're pretty cool.

I'm going to cry.

OI, OI what am I getting myself into. Quick, Paimon, lie about something I'm sure you have learned over the years on how to make u-

P... Pumpkin..... Protocol....

IS IT CHIEF JUSTICE DID HE BUY YOUR PAINTINGS BECAUSE HE LOVES THEM YOU CUTE CUTE PRETTY THING OH NO I NEED TO HUG YOU

Melusines are so much better than the Aranara, I'm sorry. Also so much more expressive in their animation. It's a little like I'm watching muppets. That's the thought that was in my head earlier at least, alas... They're too sweet to call anything but sea angels.

Neuvillette you've outdone yourself.

Uh... Paimon, let's go somewhere else. I think he needs time alone.

I have so many questions, so many things I want to do. I want to pull out Kaveh but Chongyun is so helpful. I need an electro character but I've been collecting the water flowers on the surface and they need a Hydro character. Neuvillette come home.

Also, I didnt expect the rumoyrs to be true but it seems that all Fontaine characters do the dolphin jump INCLUDING traveller when they're Hydro oriented. Very bizzare, like they learned to swim perfectly out of no where.

The anxiety of setting foot in water ever time is going to eat me alive until I forget this is only in Fontaine and I run 0 energy into a body of water deeper than my ankles and freaking die in Inazuma.

omfg pals

i disappeared for so dang long i didn’t get to tell y’all what happened!!!

ok, so like... many months ago, max coppella enlisted my help in clearing up his english lyrics in some songs he was working on that he wanted to perfect in case they got put on a future album.

first of all--holy shit! how did i get here? how did i become a trusted friend of my fave musician? wtf is my life?!

second of all--ofc i helped him. i adore him. he’s been so kind and welcoming and just fucking lovely. 

skip forward a few months and max messages me to ask if he can have my address so he can send me a copy of the new album. (i s2g he’s so sweet i could die)

i receive the album and pop it in to listen, pull out the insert and open it for the lyrics and i fucking find this

and then this

holy fuck! it me 😭

and the album has both songs i helped with. 

i feel so fortunate to be here. what. is. my. life.

Coppelius. 2022-2023. Theatrical performance Animation, set design, film shooting, costume director Anastasia Yatsenko, choreographer Konstantin Leshchenko, screenwriter Ekaterina Leshchenko, producer Ekaterina Chekalina

In a series of works where I create animation for the theater, my projects are presented in collaboration with the Moscow Children's Ballet School and Ballet Moscow Ballet troupe. These projects are related to children's productions.

It would seem that everything is simple and elegant - the honed movements of ballerinas, soft transitions from one pose to another. But no, nowadays ballet is a real slaughter on the stage, where young dancers fight with each other like swordsmen, and classes resemble training in the teachings of "Tao". All this takes place in a children's world, with bright decorations and adult costumes, children on stage demonstrate resistance to cruel discipline, as if they are already adults and live by the rules of a rigid hierarchical society. In traditional ballet, children are forced to grow up ahead of time, but now it has become obvious.

Is it really necessary to start learning cruelty from an early age in order to survive in this world?

Fontaine Battle Themes “Envoi of Coppelius” & “Lamentation et Triomphe” Reaction

For “Envoi of Coppelius” I focus more on the name’s literary allusions, and for “Lamentation et Triomphe” I focus more on the formal narrative aspect. If you wanna learn more about the actual instruments used in “Lamentation et Triomphe” I’d highly recommend MarcoMeatball’s reaction!

Envoi of Coppelius / 科培琉司的辞行

Impression

This is (one of) the Fontaine battle theme(s)?? So much is going on.

It doesn’t feel intimidating, and rather feels like a grand performance with elaborate dance moves.

Yet it’s multi-layered and surely beneath this grand movement there lies… something. I can’t discern it.

Rather, if you ask someone who doesn’t know the game whether this sounds like ballroom music or a battle theme, they would likely answer the former.

But if you imagine this in the context of a battle in Fontaine… If during a deadly battle in the fields of Fontaine, all you hear is music you’d find in a ballroom… then it downplays the dangerous nature of the situation.

So this also represents the culture of Fontainians seeing court trials as a theatrical performance

Something in the piano arpeggios (?) signify an undercurrent of danger

Name Significance: Literary Allusions

envoi (also envoy): “The brief stanza that ends French poetic forms such as the ballade or sestina. It usually serves as a summation or a dedication to a particular person.” (“Glossary of Poetic Terms”, Poetry Foundation)

Coppelius: “Coppelia and Coppelius are two characters that appear in the [real-life] ballet Coppélia, in which Dr. Coppelius creates Coppelia, a mechanical doll so lifelike that it is mistaken for a real woman.” (“Icewind Suite”, Genshin Impact wiki)

In the context of the Archon Quest, Dr. Coppelius might represent Focalors the Hydro Archon, and Coppelia represents… Furina, a human who plays the role of the Hydro Archon

But given the Icewind Suite’s—and its inspiration’s—mechanical nature, I wonder if the name brings any meaning to the Narzissenkreuz Ordo…

The track’s Chinese name, “科培琉司的辞行” is something like, “Coppelius’ Farewell to Family and Friends Before a Voyage”

科培琉司 (Kēpéiliúsī). The in-game transcription of the name Coppelius.

The individual hanzi have significance, probably related to the boss’ mechanical nature.

科 = (academic) subject

培 = to train (people)

琉 = 琉璃 = coloured glaze, lazurite, coloured glass

司 = department

科培琉司 (Kēpéiliúsī) is written and pronounced differently from the name 葛蓓留斯 (Gébèiliúsī), which is the accepted transcription for Dr. Coppelius, the character from the real-life ballet, Coppélia. (“葛蓓莉亚”, Baidu)

辞行 (cíxíng), verb. To bid farewell towards family and friends before leaving for a long journey.

Hm. Just like the Fontaine Archon Quest. In a nation where trials were seen as theatrical performances or opera, of course the battle theme sounds like this.

-

Lamentation et Triomphe

Impression: Form & Narrative

0:05 - Staccato forte strings. Now that sounds Mondstadtian, but much more intense and grand. (Understandable.)

This sounds like a properly dangerous and tense theme.

0:15 - Oh, it goes back to sounding like a more casual dance again while still retaining the staccato forte strings… Of course, as expected of the Nation of Hydro. (Didn’t I hear this section in 4.2’s PV? No, that’s a different one…)

Thanks to the introduction, you cannot possibly ignore the danger beneath it all, yet the surface is still so grand as though it’s just a dance…

As though the soundtrack itself is trying to desperately cover up something tense through theatrics and grandeur.

That tiny calmness in the fingerstyle guitar sure fools you into thinking it’s calmed down.

0:37 - The intensity is back to the surface again…

0:47 - But it’s again submerged in the grandeur of the strings above…

1:01 - Piano and fingerstyle guitar��� The guitar sounds personal and yet the deep piano chords underneath suggest the same thing as the strings previously.

Hmm… It’s desperately trying to cover up with a grand performance but it’s not working… hehe. You can’t fool me with that sort of intro.

1:13 - I see… everyone dancing with confident energy in their synchronized movements, yet beneath the elaborate costumes and wonderful music, they all hold daggers pointed at one another. A masquerade of…

1:22 - And then, with the bright brass sound, the spotlights focus on the primadonna, and they all turn to watch her performance. And they applaud…

This track is four minutes… We’re only halfway through, oh my… This proves the brilliance and thoughtfulness of this composition…

1:52 - Oh? Soft and graceful, yet playful… With the fingerstyle guitar back and quiet staccato strings in the background. Like honey-smooth water… Furina de Fontaine.

2:13 - This motif again. Where have I heard of it… The tensity is gone and there’s playfulness and confidence.

2:35 - I heard the first five or three notes of the Fontaine leitmotif quietly and briefly in the background… And then it’s gone.

2:47 - That grand performance is back again…

2:54 - And so is that deep tragedy, punctuated by the same forte staccato. (Or is it staccato forte)

2:59 - Oh? Peace with strings and guitar?

3:07 - There’s that sadness again.

3:10 - Hmm… Those two forces are showing their faces more and more frequently, huh.

3:21 - Hm? There’s a sense of pride and proper victory in the grandeur here.

3:42 - Hooh…. The intro is back. Or more accurately speaking, the overture got a finale…

Oh… This was perfect… This was such a wild ride with so many facets and contrasting forces struggling to take the spotlight or hide from it… I love it. Lamentation et Triomphe indeed.
