#extremely impressive i think

I imagine that talented musicians must think of chords as distinct from the collection of notes that make them up, because when improvising I can't imagine it's possible to have much fluidity/speed if you're mentally constructing every chord as you play them, but it's equally impressive to me that these people know their instruments so well that they can instantly produce the shape of every chord they can imagine.
#the intimacy you must have with your instrument and with sound and music#to have in your mind some complex sound and produce it on demand without requiring active thought#idk#extremely impressive i think#though i think maybe the human brain is more apt to these tasks than i give it credit for#im by no means a musician but even i sometimes have the thought of 'this sound would go well here'#but then i have to think through what the individual components of that sound are#and then find them on the fretboard#and its not always the sound i thought it would be and any time it starts getting complex it often doesnt fit the way i thought it would#but i suppose if its something i can do to a certain extent with basically 0 musical ability#then it makes sense that its just second nature to someone with years and years of experience and dedication#and theres likely some corner of our brain specifically dedicated to the task or at least one similar enough that it can be easily trained#i suppose being able to process complex sounds and reproduce them is essential for speech because that's how we acquire speech to begin wit#but the sounds of music are way more complex than any sounds capable of being produced by the human body#i suppose thats why you need training though

Columbo and the Knight (1984)
put me in the universe where Columbo ran through the 1980s and had a crossover episode with Knight Rider. I think they deserved it, and I am not just saying that because they're my two favorite Old Shows. @telebeast wrote a little fanfic blurb about it and I HAD to visualize it into a comic (which is also the longest comic I have finished thus far at five pages...), so writing credit goes to them.
Autism W!
#columbo#knight rider#art#michael knight#kitt#comic#highlight reel#crossover#telebeast#there are two small easter eggs here. can you find them. they were somehow not Entirely lost when i resized these for the public#this is what i mean when i say I Draw And It's Everyone Else's Problem. look at my INCREDIBLY niche crossover comic boy#if the knight rider fandom has like 12 people in it. how many of y'all have seen columbo#this comic is for like 4 people and me and phoenix are already two of them#niche is my specialty lets be real. weird niche obscure shit and ships nobody's paid attention to yet#not to suggest this is ship art. columbo has his wife and michael has his car lmfao#stylizing real people is EXTREMELY hard btw sorry for when they get off model. its partly a 'better imperfect than never finished' situatio#cant tell you how much i redrew some of these panels. weeps#this took me 2 weeks but i think i thumbnailed it all in may and the ideas been rollin around in my head since march#is anybody good at editing. please edit michael and columbo into an image together like its a screenshot. NOT generated. edited.#it would be so cool#ive drawn columbo a lot but i haven't drawn a lot of michaels. i was learning things about his outfit AS I WAS DOING THE DAMN#COLORS ON THIS. all the lines done. it was too late to change anything. i did all the lines and colored page by page#i realized my mistakes on like page 3. 1 and 2 were already done. it was Too Late.#imagine it though. them working a case together. switching between the more serious tone of columbo vs the goofier#action antics of michael and kitt. columbo being so impressed by Modern Technology. there's more i could say but phoenix may write#more of this crossover and i don't want to spoil it :'3#there's opportunity here though i swear. there's gold to be dug.#i like how kitt gets shading but columbo's junker peugeot doesn't. kitt looked wrong without any. columbo's car is matte and dirty#i also applied effects to this to make it look a little film-grainy and VHS like. some CRT TV vibes#the only question left is. did they put knight rider into columbo; or columbo into knight rider 🤔

Imagine if Machete was Muslim instead of Catholic. His name would be something like Saif سيف, and Vasco would probably be something like Dhahabi ذَهَبِيّ
.
#I don't know Arabic so I can't weigh in that much but if you say so!#it seems like these mean “sword” and “golden” respectively that's neat#Machete wouldn't be able to cling to his Catholic guilt in that case#I don't think Islam has the same concept of original sin that Christianity does#I'm simplifying but it's a belief that humans are born with an innate tendency for evil sinning is part of our nature#and staying on the positive and in God's good graces requires a lot of repentance which can lead to excess guilt and shame#I could be wrong but I'm under the impression that this idea of a manufacturing error is a very Christian thing#sorry I know you didn't sign up to hear me try to talk about big theology things and I don't want to make it weird#but I find this stuff really interesting I unironically like to read and think about how religions work#and how they shape things they come in contact with#in Machete's case in particular his troubled relationship with God and his career choice are big parts of his character#and why he turned the way he did and thinks the way he does you know#answered#kachavashka#Dhahabi is such a regal sounding name#I'd steal that in a heartbeat if I didn't already have one extremely gold-coded character

Whatever it is that Jay and Susan have got going on, I hope it keeps happening.
#susan has been one of my favorite characters in EGS for a while#I didn't have any strong impressions of jay coming into this arc#but so far I think that as a foil for susan she works extremely well#and I want to see them keep bouncing off of each other#(kissing optional but encouraged)#el goonish shive

here with me
#sketch#comic#ocs#oc:romsir#oc:penny#oc:end#this was intially going to be a dtl comic would you believe that#anyways this is about the character development romsir goes through at the beginning of deep breath#they go from being listless and kinda unreliable to having something to live for and work towards#they and penny bond extremely closely after the collapse. each was under the impression that no other humans survived#they experience a similar bond w jia but thats more paternal/fraternal in nature#penny and romsir have something borderline unhealthy going on#but theyre deeply in love and by the end of the narrative theyre in much better places#also im so glad i could draw romsirs fucked up skeleton arm finally. they only have it for a little bit before it has to be amputated#but i think its so funny#BTW THEY ARE NOT JUMPING OFF A BUILDING. THATS NOT WHATS HAPPENING#the 4th panel out of those 6 is the collapse closing in on them and their hand being fucking vaporized#3 seconds later daemos pulls them out of the collapse but theyre like chewed tf up by then#and 5th panel is them ~8 days after dying catching their first shard of the end#this being a dtl comic would have been so funny actually maybe i should revisit it#ANYWAYS GOODNIGHT MWAH

Something I've been thinking a lot about lately is how everyone thought Egon had gone insane. What Happened that made them think that. They've fought a gigantic Stay Puft Marshmellow Man TWICE (counting the 2009 video game because iirc it's canon? Correct me if I'm wrong), fought an interdimensional god, fought a blood thirsty ruler that killed thousands and was hated by all that was trapped in a painting (and managed to get in to beat him by making THE STATUE OF LIBERTY start walking down the street with slime that reacted purely based on vibes), found an underground abandoned transit system full of the moodslime, had a bathtub try to eat Dana and her baby, fought a giant murderous black widow lady, fought the fisherman ghost who turned an entire hotel floor into the bottom of a ocean, and that's not even mentioning them getting trapped on an island that randomly raised up from underwater that had been abandoned for decades created by Ivor Shandor who worshipped Gozer. So what did he do or say that made everyone else think he'd gone insane?? All I can think is maybe he was acting strange / eratic before, but he's always been like that to some degree.
I don't know. It's something that I've been thinking about. The correct answer is 'it's not that deep and they needed a reason that the others weren't together anymore and weren't aware of Egons death or know what was going on,' but also. What Was He Saying that prompted everyone, including Ray, to think he lost his mind when he'd been right almost every time before that.
I'm genuinely so curious as to what he was up to before this. What was he doing. What insane idea was working on prior to this or was he even working on anything at all??
Also want to clarify this post isn't negative 😭 I really love the newer movies and their lore / the newer storyline / characters, I just like thinking about small stupid things like this. Gives me something to think about / speculate about / figure out an answer to.
#ghostbusters#egon spengler#nikolas posts#I have so many thoughts on it because I've just been rewatching the two movies on loop for the past few days.#All we got was Ray saying that he'd started talking about the end of the world (IIRC) and that he went insane and took everything#when he eventually left to deal with it on his own#which for the record it's extremely impressive that he would've stopped Gozer from returning BY HIMSELF. The only reason it hadn't worked#was because of the electricity issue#Hiding all the traps and setting up the proton packs to fire at the hell pit?? Insanity. He's just on a complete different level of existin#Like they were aware of Ivor Shandor and his plans long before??? They found his ISLAND DEDICATED TO GOZER who had full intention of#BRINGING THEM BACK#it's really Really REALLY not this deep but I have thoughts and I wanted to share them. Maybe someone else might have an idea I#couldn't think of or might have something to add.#I guess it could be a 'they beat Gozer once and assumed they were gone' but that wasn't the first time Gozer 'died' so??#if I missed something Please tell me. I haven't watched the newer movies as much as the older ones (I grew up watching them / playing#the game so I'm more familiar with the older lore and haven't had the chance to rewatch the newer ones 1000 times over unfortunately)#so it's entirely possible I missed something#I'd think maybe it was just because they were older but I really don't think thats the case. I have reasoning for it but I need to do#the math to make sure I'm getting the ages right by the time AfterLife happens.#really need to make a chart / timeline of all the events that happened and what year / month / day they happened. That's a project#for tomorrow perhaps.#anyways if anyones reading this sorry for the insane rambling and congrats for making it to the end#also this post isn't negative I adore the newer movies so much. I love them a lot and I genuinely don't really care about this at all#just a thing to think / ponder / speculate about if that makes sense#I enjoy thinking about stupid irrelevant stuff like this#so so so many thoughts

Edwin Payne is a dweeb who gives terrible weak comebacks, who can be unnecessarily petty, or overly smug, who is inordinately pleased with himself when wearing detective gear and using scientific gear, the thought never crossing his mind that he might not look as cool as he thinks he does, who carries a continual and utter absolute delight at acting like the characters he loved to read about, who was enthralled by his magazine detective and adventure stories and who wears a similar smile when he sits on the bed watching Scooby Doo with Niko, 'these detectives are terribly clever,' whose board game collection is mostly variations of Clue, who requires payment (because any good detective is worth some kind of payment) but whose idea of payment is whatever interesting object the client offers to add to his collection, who has encyclopedic intelligence he clearly dedicated hours to learning, who has a particular way of acting and speaking like everything is of vital importance, because to him, it is.
#dead boy detectives#edwin payne#charles rowland#niko sasaki#crystal palace#dead boy detective agency#Edwin is a legitimate nerd#I get serious 1960s Peter Parker vibes from him#he reads the equivalent of comic books instead of hanging out with other people of course he would absolutely love cartoons#he's not good at fighting but excellent at running#chooses to only wear extremely proper and practical clothes unless he's very relaxed or stressed#of course he likes being a dead boy detective it's literally what he spent all his time reading#when he's being overly smug and self-important he reminds me of Peter Parker on Venom in Spider-Man 3#like he thinks he's owning the floor but literally nobody else gets that impression#but then there's other moments where he's - not exactly intimidating but also someone you can't ignore#and he's so passionate about his detective work#just some thoughts#character analysis#he definitely has flaws#but he is also an incredible nerd#twilight-zoned-out#I can definitely see how the original character was supposed to be 12#but it still works how they did it#his height would definitely not work if he was 12 lol#he liked detectives so now he is a detective#it had to be said

[SUBMISSION] feel free to delete this if it's too morbid: trans ppl who want top surgery, would you kill a random stranger for it? you won't get caught, and you can pick the method. 1) yes 2) depends (elaborate in a non-legally-actionable way) 3) never 4) not applicable (see results)
bruh. come on
#don't take this response as hostile tbqh like this is honestly hilarious to me#whether or not anon is sincere (and i'm inclined to think they are) this hypothetical poll would only serve to show:#how willing trans people are... specifically... to commit murder????#bc there are obviously already varying degrees to which any given trans person wants top surgery#and then getting into the 'extremely badly' degree there would still be diversity in what they're willing to DO for it#like this isn't a poll about trans demographics it's literally just way too specific. even outside of the fact that it's about a crime#it's like. such a bad poll that it's impressive tbh#that being said i think a lot of people would say yes and i think anon already knows this. you do not need a poll#anonymous#not polls

ughh i have so many feelings about characters that are backed into a corner, snarling and bleeding and dying but instead of letting themselves die and fade into obscurity they get up and keep fighting. they don’t just let themselves get swept into the wings of the heavens—instead they grit their teeth and make their death mean something. if they’re going down, if there’s no other option—their death is going to mean something. if they’re dying, they’ll take another dozen, hundred, thousand of their enemies with them. even if it’s meaningless in the end, even if they won’t survive to see the happy ending the bloodshed won them. they’d rather plunge a knife into their heart and make the world watch than pass away in a hospital bedside, they’d rather bleed themselves dry out of spite to cover up the sight of their foes celebrating.
#desperate characters#technically done with shen jiu in mind#i mean i will never excuse his child abuse but genuinely i do think his character is extremely complex#the way mxtx wrote his trauma as a reason—never an excuse—and managed to make people understand that there’s no 1 size fits all for victims#i mean he absolutely continued the cycle of abuse#which is obv not a good thing at all#but the way he clawed himself from a slave all the way to a peak lord is absolutely impressive#i think the tragedy of his character is that sometimes trauma isn’t something you get over#it stays with you like the monster under your bed#sometimes it won’t leave and you’ll be stuck looking at its reflection in every mirror you see#and maybe some of it was because of his own inability to trust#but really didn’t everyone else damn him first? at least if he closes himself off it was his choice#he can pretend it was his choices that made everyone hate him#not that they all decided to be willfully blind to his clear trauma#ok so generally i understand why people don’t like him#but i do think he’s such an interesting character#mxtx#svsss#shen jiu#sqq#sj

when ur lame brother said he got better at cooking while he was missing in space and you did NOT think this (grilling hot dogs with his weaponized alien prosthetic) was what he meant
#voltron#vld#takashi shirogane#my art#shiro#i simply think shiro cooking hot dogs with his hand would be so fucking funny#keith is extremely not impressed with the finger grill marks#important that the hot dogs are NOT cooked well it is NOT even heat distribution#Shiro knows that Keith is going to hate this that is 1/3 of his motivation#Hunk is simply being nice bc he wants Shiro to feel validated that he tried to cook#Shiro's license to grill is getting REVOKED

I don't usually plug stuff on this blog, but I've been on a binge of this series and it's hands down the best commentary on the Horizon series I've ever seen, from an angle I really never expected to see. I highly recommend it to Horizon fans who have the time and are interested in an in depth very thoughtful commentary on a really wide variety of things in the game. Here is the YT playlist for HZD (dlc included).
Here is the first vid of that series
youtube
And he also recently finished HFW and is currently doing Burning Shores.
I really didn't expect to be bingeing this, but here I am. I tore through the HZD playthrough and I'm halfway through the HFW one. T_T
#hzd#horizon zero dawn#ps4 games#video games#horizon zero dawn with a therapist#hfw#burning shores#I'm honestly extremely impressed#and I think he deserves more eyes on his stuff#it's very good#hzd playthrough with commentary#Youtube

omfg . radio play version of much ado with david as benedick from 2001
#this version of benedick is a lottttt more serious and restrained than the 2011 version#definitely due to the medium and bc it matches the energy of this version of beatrice way better#it's not david and catherine's insane comedic chemistry but it's still really good imo..#like it's obviously not as endlessly fucking funny as the 2011 version but it's still really solid#and i'm impressed with how they did the humor in a 100% audio format#and i actually really love this interpretation of benedick as more cynical and leaning into his Hater side#ironically david's benedick here generally comes off as older and more mature than his benedick 10 years later#'the prince's fool... hAhH???' is obviously extremely funny but also 'the prince's fool... [uppity hmph]' is Inspired#and his outraged 'oh!'s and gasps and sighs when he listens to don pedro/claudio/leonato talking abt beatrice being in love with him#also funnily enough i think benedick's whole monologue after this is SO good. if not better than the 2011 version#cuz it's more restrained you have benedick's haterism actively fighting and losing against his satisfaction and giddy laughter#and the bit where benedick challenges claudio is so ohhhghhgouhgghg#the way his voice deepens with 'and her death shall fall heavy on you' just FLOORS me it's fucking perfect#but also equally as fun are the line readings where they have evidently remained the same (or similar)#my dearrrrr ladyyyy disdaiiiiinnnn#and the 'she misused me past the endurance of a block' rant#and when he's bitching about claudio falling in love w hero#but the vibes are so different this feels like a whole separate guy and that's really cool#i'm not sure how much i would love this production overall if i wasn't as familiar w the play tho#much ado#shakespeare#essentially trying to say in the least embarrassing way possible that david tennant is now both my first and second favorite benedick

THEY TURNED UZI INTO A SYSTEM AT THE END???? WE STAY WINNING
(rambling about this more in the tags; blatant spoilers)
#daitex.t#murder drones#murder drones spoilers#murder drones episode 8#is that the takeaway from the post credits scene? no. is it what I'm getting from it? yes :]#especially because like. all the stuff that happened in every episode? incredibly traumatic#it honest to god would make sense#I've seen people commenting on the illusion stuff and I'll be real I think it's just the solver's way of getting uzi's attention#uzi checks the hallway and sees nobody in it. the solver flickers in the mirror right after she looks back#and yes she looks extremely tired but after all that? the solver should cause her to react in some way (yelping or something)#instead she's silent. with the way her expression changes it gives the impression this isn't the first time this has happened#(with ''this'' being ''the solver talking to her when they're alone'')#her only reaction is AFTER the solver tilts its head/tail at her in search of an answer to its question. and all she does is slam the door#given the conversations we sometimes have in this brain. yeah that's how it goes sometimes#it also just seems tiring to keep something as big as THE SOLVER STILL BEING ABLE TO TALK a secret/on the down low#v already nearly blew a hole in her chest just seeing uzi's eyes. better to not talk about it#anyways yeah
