Posting to tumblr as well because its genuinely just sooo. Ugh

[quackity1999]

okay, big q, think about this, bear with me, let me tell you a story and you can tell one back: you're in a nightmare. the alley's chill goes through whatever you're wearing at the moment (not important, don't mind the blood; you were a butcher, no?). you keep walking, it's the only way forward. are you afraid of the dark? surely not.

something stands before you, a towering frame of unspecified likeness. it says, "hello! I am a manifestation of your fear. i am a person, an event, a place, a tool; i am one of them or a series of them. i am what haunts the back of your eyelids. i am what you think of when the night is too quiet and your heart is too lonely.

tell me, in your words, the best you can say it, in the most detail possible: what am i? what do you see when you are scared?"

it's something about— snow, funnily enough. it's prone to swallowing up footprints. you could walk a thousand, million, whatever fucking miles and there'd be no proof of you ever being there.

i think it chases me. and i run terrified of what i'll be met with at the very top. even if i believe i want what's there more than anything else i've longed for in the past. maybe there's nothing waiting for me; maybe it's already been dusted into a perfected pile of flakes that reject your attempt at leaving a mark on this world.

jesus, i cover it up. i cover it up with sand, i threw it in the faces of people i thought loved me, i threw it in the face of peace, i spit glass and kick the remnants of myself into something that i wish wasn't snow anymore. i don't know.

it's something about snow. and it's something about sand, too. how something so soft could become so abrasive over time. over eons. decades. lovers, wars, betrayals, failures, the goddamn fucking political ladder that only showers you in blood for a celebration— multiple times.

i think it all ends up as snow after a while.

and maybe i should stop trying to force the sand into being what it's not.

I wholeheartedly believe c!Wilbur and c!Tommy were blood brothers and c!Kristin and c!Philza’s children. YK WHAT THAT MEANS???

Yeah people. DEMIGODS ‼️

I believe the reason both of them were kinda cursed (esp c!Wilbur that guy is CRAZY) is that children of Death would carry death all around them. Basically meaning they’re sentenced to misfortune and pain. c!Wilbur got it worse than c!Tommy, which lead him to be the way he was. Thirsty for… death I guess. I think c!Wilbur had the power of Death rooted deep inside of him, and he was kinda born to rule with his mother. But being raised as a normal human in a normal world, he turned that hunger into leading wars. That’s why I think he was kinda coo coo, because he had too much Death in him to be a normal human. An ending for him would either be Kristin doing something to sedate that calling, or him just being her little Prince ruling the dead lol.

c!Tommy has none of that desire. Unfortunately he just has the curse of misfortune though. Death all around him. He just wants a peaceful life, he doesn’t want anything to do with his godly side. Living a chill, farmer life without any wars is what he yearns. He would be able to achieve that.

I think Kristin would kinda be the missing piece that would make them all come together again. She would definitely adore Techno. He could either be Kristin and Philza’s bio kid or not. I honestly never thought abt it, but his thrist for blood would make sense. Or he could just be like that 💀

Anyways. c!Wilbur and c!Tommy are demigods. I don’t make the rules

More Ranboo Exile AU!

(If you haven't seen my other posts abt this AU you can find more information in the "Ranboo exile au" tag)

There wasn't a whole lot of thought behind this drawing, I was mostly just doing it for art practice and funsies, but here's some more thoughts I came up with as/after drawing it:

I drew exile!Ranboo with the rabbit, and then I just started thinking about why would e!Ranboo just have a rabbit inside e!Techno's house... Imagine e!Ranboo having rly bad separation anxiety (partially because exile, but like, canon c!Ranboo gets kinda separation anxiety-ish from time to time too), so e!Techno brings them a rabbit to keep them company and distract them when he wants to leave the house without bringing them with him (esp bc they're still recovering and kinda weak rn).

Also, the clothes are Philza's and Wilbur's old clothes, because Ranboo's clothes weren't in a very salvageable state and finding/making new clothes for them is a bit tricky with how tall they are.

omg wait dsmp hcs??? okay let’s go

1) aroallo c!q and aroace!slime. They r qpp to me….. also because i personally reject the dsmp finale i imagine everyone (except the characters I hated both in the moment and retroactively) fled to las Nevadas and now Q works as a kind of mayor there? He’s rebuilding it to be a better and less corrupt place with his new lease on life

2) c!tommy bigender + disabled, i specifically imagine he uses a cane (like me) and is deaf (not like me) I think it’s less chronic pain or from direct injury and more because I’ve learned that going deaf from blasts or head injuries can lead to really bad dizziness and unsteadiness and combined with smaller less directly impactful injuries he just feels more steady using it. she also has spikes on her cane so nobody can yank it from her and she can beat people with it if desired

3) Tubbo also is deaf, however relies less on a cane because he doesn’t like using one, esp in the snow. instead he collects bumps and bruises and has to get patched up by Ranboo but he doesn’t mind. Also Tubbo upon becoming deaf chooses not to speak out loud anymore unless to ranboo and tommy and instead speaks in BSL. Not only because deaf but also because he feels like it makes people more intentional when they’re listening to him and it makes him choose his words more carefully.

4) I don’t have a lot of c!wil hcs because I don’t like thinking about him too hard but the single hc I have is his whole ending situation where he got zapped was him essentially getting raptured by mumza goddess of death. I like to imagine she had a soft spot for Tommy and finally snapped and just plucked him out of life like NOPE ur done. goodbye

5) c!Techno ascended to godhood alongside mumza and is now the god of blood and war strategy. peace and love

deaf cclingy is always a favorite of mine! not into qpr slime and quackity but i do love the thought of q becoming the mayor of las nevadas bc it kind of fulfills what LN's goal was originally which was to become a hub where people could all run around in minecraft together. awesome. neutral on cwilbur hc but i like the hc of him hanging out w kristin thats awesome

DSMP Rivals and Fighting Game Archetypes

Also relating to the last post because now I have fighting game brainrot, its been a handful of years since I was more interested in a few of them but I've always been a sucker for the character archetypes

You already have plenty of locations that you can choose from for the maps considering the entire dsmp map is your oyster in that regard. Community house, L'manburg, Las Nevadas, Artic Commune, etc etc you get what I mean. Pandora's Vault could definitely be thrown in there as well and whether its inside or outside would be up to how much room exactly you would need but I think main cell could be feasible imo

I'm not the most WELL versed in the actual specific archetypes, also because some characters are either super niche or feel like they could overlap multiple archetypes (and the websites im looking at are bombarding me with ads) so we're gonna take all this in a lighthearted fun way okay? perfect, anyway

c!Dream is either a rushdown archetype OR hes hit & run. I'm more inclined to say rushdown soley for the fact that Dream feels very much like he would come with a moveset that rewards juggling your opponent with long complicated combos. He would probably have a good reset ability, and his character would be the reason the game has a burst mechanic so that you don't get stuck in an endless loop of getting your ass kicked (unless you get baited into that burst which is the worst thing ever esp when you can practically hear the clown music in the background)

However combos can't last forever, and to keep things fair, his heavy hitters would most likely be something that launches his opponents away from him. Dealing stronger damage, but also giving the opponent a chance to regroup away from his onslaught until rushdown characters do what they do best

I'm inclined to say he probably wouldn't have a projectile move, if it worked with his kit he could have one maaaaaaaybe two as a treat, but for the most part his utility comes out of getting up close and personal. Aka he would not be having a fun time against zoning characters

Special move wise I can't think of many specifics right now, but for almost all of the characters they would probably be references just cause I think that's fun. One of them would have to be related to the revive book because how could it not be, and the others could even be references to some of his best manhunt moments if you're in the camp that believes manhunt is canon to the dsmp (which I personally am)

c!Techno is a bit trickier because his fan interpretation really depends on whether or not you picture him as a hybrid with a more human appearance OR if you go full piglin/hoglin. You could also have your "both is good" moment by having him start off with the more human looking hybrid form and have his Piglin form be one of his special abilities. Going with that version though would most likely make Techno an Install archetype (or even Stance? Listen these ones were too complicated for me in case it wasn't obvious yet I played characters that either hit fast or hit hard)

But Stance or Install aside, I'm a bit torn on his actual moveset/ combo ability. Techno often tanks a lot of hits because he makes up for his physical lack of a shield by use of potions to keep him up and running and increasing his damage output (which could fit into the Stance archetype if he had a move that essentially let him power up by giving him a potion ability? Or would that be more like a Charge character?)

Giving him a secendary archetype after Install/Stance he would probably be a Punisher or Reversal or whatever the archetype is called for when he's stuck in a block chain but the second the opponent fucks up and drops that chain he's able to jump on that oppurtunity and absolutely ruin the other persons day. I also like how it feels like it plays well into his "I shall repay that injustice a thousand times over." general vibe. Not a defensive fighting style, but one that does play more into countering an ongoing attack vs being the one immediately on the offensive. While his combos would deal a lot of damage, to balance that out I would say he doesn't have good juggle/reset ability so he eventually needs to back off to recoup and wait for his next moment of oppurtunity.

Special moves again not really sure, like the most my brain can come up with right now is him absolutely chucking a human sized potato into his opponent. Other than that his 3-5 meter special could also be wither related

c!Tubbo is a zoner you can't tell me that little shit is not spamming the HELL out of the stage with bombs and mini nukes and bees and who knows what else tell me I'm wrong.

If I get more fighting game thoughts for any of the other characters I'll probably be back but thats all for now k thanks <3

selected albums ive listened to in 2024

this year I'm just posting the highlights so itll be shorter

[1] [2]

January

1/ VHS Head - Phasia (2023) first new album of '24 for me! "Strange Food" that zap pew beat is a delight! title track is p good, floaty. "Phocus" this is very vaguely leaning into…funk? i really like it. possible highlight? wondering why it shares the title of a different album.

---

4/ VA - FM Synth 2 (2017) yeah i love fm "Mach 5 Fusion Force X" is a god damn tour de force. insane! "Work Without Rules" second fav of mine for its smoov smoov swingy wobs

---

7/ Skee Mask - C (2024) first 2024 album in the list! dusty, crispy, chillout. analogue. deep bass when needed, never too thick of a presence. delightful chillout music. at worst, its a bit varied, as if it were an anthology. probably because it is. highlight: "Bassline Dub"

---

12/ (all OCRemix posts from 2017) all over the place ofc some insano selections: "Multi-track Drifting" N R G!!! "Big Room Gobi" funny but in a goes hard way also: Star Salzman's Katamari mix!!! i keep coming back to that in particular

----

15/ VA - Adventure Time, Vol. 1-5 (2019) they have extended versions of some sc cuts!! "Party With the Chief" esp(!) the biggest thing I noticed overall: this soundtrack is so…wack. meandering. ADHD in control of a quirky ensemble. continually amazed that this's from a hit show

---

16/ Diverse System - JAPAN 2 (2023) a mostly rly good grab bag of bangers with a japan flavor! i adore the koto mixed in with tight electric beats. big big standouts with "灯火" !!! and the much more electric "Amatsu"

---

17/ Patricia Taxxon - Bicycle (2024) laid back (mostly) textures n vibes. instant fav in "Frat Claws" and "I Do" specifically! i really like the FEEL within the sounds. i keep coming back to "Chipshop" and "Boys". visceral.

---

23/ Aleksi Perälä - Starlight 1 (2018) surprisingly solid, albeit a bit all over the place much love for the smooth sounds of "UK74R1823040" much love for the stepfiltered "UK74R1823090" not as much a fan of the techno flavors this time but still!

it's hard to recommend this artist in general but ive been listening to a lot of AP music. just give those two highlights a try and see what you think.

---

February

25/ BT - The Secret Language of Trees (2023) THE GOOD STUFF Producer's Cuts especially!!! "k-means clustering"……. the clicks in "Time Moves So Fast"…. if you ever wished ppl made more music from 2007, here it is. a return to the binary universe.

----

40/ Tom Bragl - Regainable (2024) a few crunchy niceities, but just a few imo. "Klamra" f.ex. feels very 2007, which IS a delight. for anyone who wishes they made more music from 2007. here it is. funny it's marketed as "80s esque" lol. i hear it tho.

----

43/ µ-ziq - 1977 (2023) mike has a very distinct style that stands out from a lot of his peers imo. i wasnt sure about this but the reverbed minimalist drum machine in tracks like "4am" and "Belt & Carpet" win me over. I think those two and the weirdly hazy house of "Houzz 13" are my favs. "4am" especially, with those ethereal (newage?) chopped vocals

----

44/ Autechre - 2005-4-15 Glasgow (live set) apparently there are some old soundboard recordings laying around!!! this is super good. quaristice stuff. i love love love the multiple variations of chence9! the fast version of IO is rly good too. ez fav but still.

----

March

47/ STAFFcirc vol. 9: MIDI MODULE FANATIX (2024) oh hell yes, midi AND rompler!!! "Thunder and Strawberry Wine" is otherworldly. i get how it was made but also. How? ooooghhh… "30 Domcaster St" delightful ooooghhh… "Cascade rev.2023" authentic zest "Yakumotatsu" god i love this trend of pushing msgs midi to the max "tunnel7_r35b" listen i love chimeratio and he brought his slapping

----

57/ Fields Of Mist - Biospore Farmers (2024) try not to compare to boc challenge: impossible. it's lush damnit. but the perc is way way more analogue drummachine. its wall to wall good. that opening track would have blown my mind in 2007. they dont make it like that anymore, except i guess they do!

----

60/ pilotredsun - Achievement (2016) an album misplaced in time. pristine early 00s bedroom musician vibes.

Beginner’s Guide to Music Theory for Electronic Music Producers: Essential Tips for Better Tracks

Music theory might sound intimidating, especially if you're an electronic music producer who loves diving into the technical side of sound design and mixing. But mastering the basics of music theory can make a world of difference in your production process. Whether you're creating house, techno, dubstep, or any other genre, understanding fundamental music theory concepts will help you craft better melodies, harmonies, and rhythms.

In this guide, we’ll break down essential music theory tips specifically tailored for electronic music producers. You don’t need to be a classically trained musician—just a willingness to apply these concepts to improve your tracks.

---

1. **Understanding the Musical Scale: The Foundation of Melody and Harmony**

At the heart of music theory is the **musical scale**, a sequence of notes arranged in a specific order. Most music is based on either the **major scale** (happy and uplifting) or the **minor scale** (darker and more emotional). For electronic music producers, learning how to build melodies and harmonies using scales will give your tracks more cohesion and emotion.

The Major Scale:

The major scale follows the pattern of **whole-whole-half-whole-whole-whole-half** steps (W = whole step, H = half step). For example, the C major scale consists of the notes C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C.

The Minor Scale:

The natural minor scale follows the pattern **whole-half-whole-whole-half-whole-whole**. The A minor scale, for instance, contains the notes A-B-C-D-E-F-G-A.

Application in Electronic Music:

- **Melodies**: Craft your lead melodies using notes from a single scale. Sticking to a key ensures your melodies sound harmonically correct.

- **Basslines**: Basslines that follow the root note (first note) of the scale create a solid harmonic foundation.

- **Chord Progressions**: Build your chord progressions using the notes from the chosen scale for smooth, emotionally engaging transitions.

---

2. **Chords and Chord Progressions: Building Blocks of Harmony**

Chords are groups of notes played together to create harmony, and chord progressions are sequences of these chords that add emotional movement to your track. Even though many electronic tracks focus on rhythm, knowing how to build and use chords will take your productions to the next level.

Basic Chord Structure:

The simplest chord is a **triad**, which consists of three notes. These are built from the **root note**, the **third**, and the **fifth** intervals of the scale. For example:

- **C Major Chord** = C (root) + E (major third) + G (perfect fifth)

- **A Minor Chord** = A (root) + C (minor third) + E (perfect fifth)

Common Chord Progressions:

Many electronic genres rely on repetitive but engaging chord progressions. Here are a few common ones:

- **I-V-vi-IV** (used in pop and electronic music): In C major, this progression would be C-G-Am-F.

- **ii-V-I** (common in jazz and house music): In C major, this progression would be Dm-G-C.

Application in Electronic Music:

- **Layering Synths**: Use chord progressions to layer your synths and pads, creating richer, fuller soundscapes.

- **Emotional Depth**: Chords provide emotional context for your track. Major chords create uplifting vibes, while minor chords add a touch of melancholy or drama.

---

3. **Rhythm and Time Signatures: Creating Groove and Flow**

Rhythm is just as important as melody in electronic music. Understanding how rhythm works can help you design more intricate and dynamic drum patterns, as well as syncopate your basslines and synths for a professional feel.

Time Signatures:

The **time signature** tells you how many beats are in a measure (or bar). Most electronic music uses **4/4 time**, meaning there are 4 beats per measure. This is the foundation of the “four-to-the-floor” kick pattern that’s common in genres like house, techno, and trance.

Syncopation:

Syncopation involves placing rhythmic accents where they aren’t expected, like hitting a snare or hi-hat on the off-beat. This creates groove and movement, essential in electronic genres like breakbeat or future bass.

Application in Electronic Music:

- **Drum Programming**: Start with a basic 4/4 beat but experiment by adding syncopated elements such as off-beat hi-hats or kicks.

- **Basslines**: Rhythmically syncopated basslines can give your track more bounce and energy.

---

4. **Modes: Adding Variety to Your Melodies**

Modes are variations of the traditional major and minor scales that offer different emotional tones. While it’s easy to stick with basic major and minor keys, using modes can give your music a unique twist.

Common Modes for Electronic Music:

- **Dorian Mode** (great for a funky or jazzy vibe): This is similar to the natural minor scale but with a raised sixth. In A Dorian, the notes would be A-B-C-D-E-F#-G.

- **Phrygian Mode** (adds a darker, exotic feel): In C Phrygian, the notes are C-Db-Eb-F-G-Ab-Bb-C.

Application in Electronic Music:

- **Melodic Variation**: If you want to avoid your melodies sounding too predictable, switch to a mode like Dorian or Phrygian to introduce a new mood.

- **Unique Basslines**: Use modes to craft basslines that break away from the traditional major or minor sound, giving your track a fresh harmonic palette.

---

5. **Intervals: The Space Between Notes**

Intervals are the distance between two notes, and they play a key role in determining the character of both melodies and harmonies. Understanding intervals helps you build chord progressions, create tension, and resolve melodies.

Common Intervals:

- **Major Third** (4 semitones): Often sounds happy and open.

- **Minor Third** (3 semitones): Sounds darker and more introspective.

- **Perfect Fifth** (7 semitones): A stable and consonant interval often used in power chords.

Application in Electronic Music:

- **Tension and Release**: Use larger intervals to create tension in your leads and melodies, and resolve them with smaller intervals.

- **Layering Sounds**: Stack intervals like perfect fifths or octaves in your synths for more powerful, harmonically rich tones.

---

6. **Learning the Circle of Fifths: Navigating Chord Progressions**

The **Circle of Fifths** is a helpful tool for visualizing how different keys and chords are related. It shows which chords work well together in a key and helps you navigate key changes and modulations.

How to Use It:

- **Chord Progressions**: The chords next to each other on the Circle of Fifths are harmonically related and sound great together. For example, in C major, the chords C, F, and G are close on the circle, making them a natural progression.

- **Modulation**: If you want to change the key or add variety, use the Circle of Fifths to find related keys for smooth transitions.

Application in Electronic Music:

- **Harmonic Transitions**: Use the Circle of Fifths to modulate between keys seamlessly or to experiment with chord progressions.

- **Creative Songwriting**: It’s a great tool for unlocking new songwriting ideas and stepping outside of the typical I-IV-V progression.

---

Conclusion: Elevate Your Tracks with Music Theory

As an electronic music producer, understanding the basics of music theory can open new doors to creativity, enabling you to make better decisions when it comes to melody, harmony, and rhythm. Whether you’re building chord progressions, crafting basslines, or developing intricate drum patterns, these foundational music theory tips will enhance your productions and help you create more engaging and professional-sounding tracks.

So don’t be afraid to dive into music theory—it’s not just for classical musicians! Incorporating these concepts into your workflow can make a huge difference in the quality of your music. Happy producing!

His Lips, Your Addiction

[if-loki-was-a-fox]

The egg stream,,, you are very based in starting off with that one, I love it so much <3 It's pretty much the first time c!Techno openly calls c!Ranboo his friend, too (excluding the time with the spawner bc that was blatant spurr of the moment and thus easy for either of them to brush off as accidentally/meaningless), so that alone makes it amazing even without everything else. But then there is everything else all piled on top of that so it's even better (I think it was one of the first DSMP VODs I ever showed my little sister, actually)

c!Techno thinking c!Ranboo is weird and perhaps too unhinged to trust when they first moved in really was kinda hilarious. Esp because c!Ranboo was worried that would happen, but for entirely different reasons (c!Ranboo: "I definitely shouldn't tell them about me hearing voices, that's probably not a sign of a good roommate." c!Technoblade: "Phil. Phil what was that room??" *just saw c!Ranboo's 'comfort room' made of netherack and decorated with mob heads*)

For some reason I'd never considered that Syndicate introduction line as much more than one of many funny throw away lines (to be fair, I've only watched that stream a couple times compared to some of the others and wasn't in the fandom at the time to see others react to it), but you are so right about it being a great line. Peer pressure really is a shared hatred of theirs, and that being referenced there was pretty cool :)

Random question from a fellow c!prpduo fan: do you have any favorite peerpressureduo interactions/scenes/vods/etc?

Ohhh man I'll probably come back to this because I've been meaning to rewatch NLM but to me egg remains a major sweep as a VOD. The way they play off each other + the compatibility in and similarities of their social meta are really wonderful to see in action... also some fantastic showings of both Ranboo's nosy Involvement into the affairs of those he likes and of Techno's style of showing up for people... I love them so much both they are so guys of the decade

I am also a huge fan of the scene (also should rewatch this...) in I think developing the syndicate where Techno expresses he's not sure he can trust Ranboo explicitly Because unhinged recognizes unhinged... I think the phrasing is something like "he's as crazy as I am Phil" I NEED to rewatch it it's auauaugh

Also ofc the classic scene where Ranboo reads the Syndicate manifesto "I like that part" CONTINUES killing me, On The Daily,

[deus-and-the-machina]

I will never forgive the dsmp for giving a good chunk of its audience (a lot of which is young and impressionable) the idea that c!Techno is a shining pillar of how anarchy works. cc!Techno stating he read anarchist texts especially doesn’t help. It seems to give it validity when if you look deeper, it’s a big ass mess.

[if-loki-was-a-fox]

YOU HAVE A NIMONA AU????? Oh please tell me all about how haven’t i seen this yet

It's not super developed, I just watched Nimona and had immediately prpduo brainrot. Like. What if it was Ranboo and Technoblade instead of Ballister and Nimona?

We've still got and anxious wetcat with morality issues (Ranboo/Ballister) and a destructive pink haired anarchist (Nimona/Techno) after all! (Esp meshes well with piglin shapeshifter c!techno headcanons)

And we even still have anxious morality issues guy has a partner who is part of the government (Abrosius/Tubbo)!

I have way too much fun drawing parallels and creating patterns :)

[crepusculum-rattus]

AUs where phil and techno are actually in a qpr mean a lot to me and i hold them close to my heart

[if-loki-was-a-fox-reblogs]

Tha ms for the tag! ^^

Last song listened to: Castles Crumbling by Taylor Swift, because I stumbled across a clip of it in an animatic or smth and got curious about the full song, but before that I was listening to Alec Benjamin songs :)

Currently reading: *sweats in basically only reads fanfiction oneshots* but I have been enjoying a podfic of Change Fate By Being Aggressively Kind (originally written by Sircantus and audiobook-ified by Passerine Podcast). Also more long term, quite enjoying following along with an emblem of your kind by GeeVy (Syndicate-centric humans are space orcs AU)

Currently watching: I've been slowly making way through Good Omens Season 2 with my family, and even more slowly chipping away at The Owl House with my twin sister for... months now, and also kind of Bluey because I watched too many videos essays and had to watch the show, but that's a lot more passive sort of "when I'm bored and need something to do" thing

Currently obsessed with: the main one is c!Ranboo and c!Techno, and just kinda c!borealtrio's dynamics and arcs together as a whole. Definitely the one I talk about most on here. Also, non-fandom-wise, kind of just neurodivergence, because last October my algorithma everywhere got flooded with ADHD, Autism, etc content for Autism Awareness month or smth and I've just been low-key fascinated with neurodivergence ever since (esp with Tumblr and fandom spaces and so on being rather ND heavy). Though lately most of my obsessions have been quieting down a bit in intensity and I might be kind of between hyperfixations at the moment.

And ig I'll tag @thegeevy and @1wn8ure! No pressure ofc :)

currently watching: geminitay’s hermitcraft 8 as well as her new life smp perspective and her current hardcore world. it’s hard to be sad when you’re watching gem :] in terms of tv, i’m so bad at watching things on my own, but i’m rewatching madoka magica with my friends
