#i had to use my music player

[beescake]

Oh, dang, I've just discovered your art recently, but (as someone who's been around for a While) you give off the vibe that you've been in the fandom for a long time!!!

HFHFF ive been on tumblr a long time!! homestuck spores breezing by clinging to my socks for years as time passes until i finally decided to step into the forest fr.... (aka ive been listening to broadway karkat since i was 13? 14? despite not being able to read past A Young Man Stands In His Bedroom)

i hate to break it to you, millennials, but gen z does, in fact, know what dvds and cds are. we grew up with them. we grew up with a lot of stuff y'all obsess over, actually. not my fault all the tech companies collectively decided to get rid of dvd players

[running-on-coffee-and-anxiety]

Y'all ever dig out an MP3 player that survived hell and back for you and decide to transfer the audio files to hear what your music taste was when you were a tweenager?

On that note, I found my old SanDisk (survived going flying every time I was running and my headphones came out, spent an entire winter buried in snow when I couldn't find it, survived the water of melting snow) and transferred all of the music off it.

There was an entire section of 'Stronger Than You' parodies, most of them being Undertale characters. Remember that time of the fandom?

I return to my tweenage years with glee ^_^

Roam if you want to

Roam around the world

Roam if you want to

Without wings, without wheels

trying to assign instruments to gerudo characters for thralls' soundtrack. Nabooru is getting the sitar so far, as I think she's good at representing the gerudo side that's closer to the Wild Era in terms of long-term vision for gerudo prosperity, not to mention that it works great for a more laid-back character; though Iftaah could also get that aspect, even though her perspective is a little bit more desperate and a little less actually strategizing about diplomacy and commerce in the way that Nabooru's is... not sure I have nailed down the perfect instrument for her yet though? Maybe a duduk, for its plaintive quality and capacity for softness? But I don't know, I feel like there could be something better out there. Saeruk and flamenco guitar seem pretty great fit for the versatility of the instrument, both harsh and defiant, playful at times, but also extremely sad if needs be, and the fact that she represents more the "older" kind of gerudo works well with more hispanic/romany inspirations. And then there's Aveil, who I feel represent the best the connection of the gerudos to their land, and I'd love an instrument that really represents that. Still looking for that one.

There's a bunch of fun things for Ganondorf that can be done, but I think he'll get... bigger instruments, in general. And church organs are quite versatile too it turns out. :) I like the marimba from his first phase boss battle, but it's a little too... I don't know, I feel like it lacks the roundness and depth and imposing quality that we could get with other picks. But Ganondorf so far has about *eight billion* leitmotifs going on with what I have selected for him (him and Ganon's, as they are... not exactly separate entities in the story, but sort of, it's kind of weird), so it might be more a case of actual melody rather than instruments, or maybe on top of instruments that swap in and out depending on what we want to invoke...

Sorry, rambling, but I would really love to compensate for my lack of voice actors with a pretty meaningful stab at the soundtrack. I feel like I kind of have to honestly. ;;

Maybe its just me, but its pretty fucking funny how Rishi Sunak can see the headlines that we entering a recession and instead of maybe worrying about that, he instead focuses on...banning mobile phones in classrooms....something most schools already do anyway....

in the spirit of saltburn being set in the early '00s just revamped my desktop blog colors to match those of an ungodly screenshot of oliver standing in the blue-green light at his bday party. unimaginably deep solid blue with horribly bright teal accents is now the vibe we roll with in case you were wondering

[sororygilmore]

i have a very very soft spot for both debut and fearless

Love how my mom's first single she bought was I Was Made For Lovin' You

I've been frustrated with not being able to get interviews for the last month (recent movements of Catholic startup, notwithstanding) and wrote a Music Player Daemon client in Emacs in 2 weeks.

well my dryer did that cool thing where it takes 3 hours and then still leaves most of my clothes slightly damp. so i have to wear my slightly-too-small coat from middle school today

[passengerpigeons]

well the replacement phone after the last one black screened of death after a year also black screened of death after a year (expected bc it's the same model, and most people seemed to have that issue after almost exactly a year w that model) so I'm just getting a different phone. instead of getting a third phone under warranty that will also black screen after a year. like this one literally Did Not Get Dropped or Get Left In High Heat.

so now i am dragged, kicking and screaming, into a phone w/o a headphone jack

The cool thing about having one of those portable CD players is that you can just hold it in your hands and feel the soft hum of the disc’s rotation as you listen to the music

last night's 2 am acoustic one track one take session about some shit that just will not! leave me! the fuck! alone! wrote the lyrics & decided to just wing it on the melody. a cathartic 13 minutes. i *did* finally turn my fan off and actually record on my mic :) file too big for tumblr so hopefully the link works <3 (i think i am just going to have to bite the bullet and get scpro cause 50/90 is going to be an absolute wopper on storage lmao)

lyrics below the cut <3

flesh forsaken 

apostate 

resolution 

no way to stay 

desperation 

fallen state

 

i pray 

take it all away 

of his body

of his blood 

watch it run 

down my face 

bent to mercy 

bent to stay 

so i pray 

take it all away 

resurrection 

skin under my nails 

witness 

no way to say 

consecration 

his will prevail 

still i pray 

take it all away 

dripping down 

life of death 

bitter herb 

sour breath 

sorrows counted 

more than stars 

lowly one 

taken for woe 

{think i kinda went rogue at this point hopefully these are close lol} 

i pray 

take it all away 

his blood

will wash it all away 

his blood 

wash me all away 

wash me all away 

i don't want to stay 

his blood will

wash me all away

please don't make me 

stay
