#listen... i know i sound crazy but...

[sengenism]

thinking about it senku drags gen in chapter 57 and 2 chapters later, kaseki drags gen in the same manner with chrome commenting in the background about how kaseki has taken a special liking to gen..... if we take into context that statement from chrome and add on senku's comment on how gen is different because he is a modern man, we'd get canon text that senku has a special fondness of gen so sengen cano-

I’m sorry but nothing will ever beat Finn’s drive playlist that he made during s3 filming, with songs like Me and Michael, The Basement, Gay Thoughts and No Woman lmaoooo

[uglygirlstatus]

I went into Wicked (2024) with high expectations but also very little knowledge of the original musical and I thought that was the ideal state to go into it for peak enjoyment and least disappointment but idk it just didn’t do much for me and I can’t put my finger on why. Besides knowing that the colour grading for half the movie was pissing me off. The songs and performances were really good and enjoyable overall. Loved some of the shots in defying gravity like the wide shot of her in the huge cloak against the sky looking down at everyone in the tower? Yes. maybe it was the questionable pacing that got me or maybe my attention span is actually just truly fried. Or maybe it was the improv quips count. Or the fact that they marketing it as “almost no cgi!” And then I had to look at all those damn cgi animals. Not that I’d want real animals but like. Why market it as low cgi. I know they meant for the sets mostly I guess but the lighting and colouring made all the sets look cgi anyway. Or Maybe I just needed to have a pre existing affinity for the story after all. But at least it got me to finally listen through the original Broadway recording afterwards. Also unrelated but during the last third of the movie some random nine year old started doing cartwheels in front of the movie screen

Okay I know I said I was going to stay offline for a while because headache, but I just had the most horrible thought and have to share.

You know the piano on Drag Me Under? The rhythm at which the keys are pressed? Is it just me, or it sounds eerily like a heartbeat? HEAR ME OUT.

I'm not saying it's supposed to sound like that, and I'm aware the tempo is slightly off from the normal/usual heartbeat rate BUT. What if it is? What if you look at it from that perspective?

In the lyrics, Vessel says that they are lying down together. What if this is his/his lover's heartbeat, like when you rest your head on someone's chest and can feel it echo in you?

If he is indeed being dragged down, maybe this is the final moment before the descent? Into Them or down under, I'm not sure. "To merely behold you" - what if this is him remembering their last encounter before They abandoned him? Before Atlantic took place? Since they can't be together? Since the rhythm bleeds nicely into Blood Sport, their parting song? The one before the Big Sad? Does this make sense or am I crazy??

As a huge fan of The Sound album (that shit is so underrated the album has some of my most played SKZ songs), you bet I will be so fucking excited for the new Japanese album

[albino-parakeet]

the ominous aye Kenji I was talking about in Heidi’s last stream.

(I don’t have the video it comes from. This is a screenshot from the one year of jwcc/dinotwt recap video)

Context: During the wait between the early seasons, dinotwt all of a sudden watched this kid vampire movie that was based on a book. There’s a scene where the main character was getting tossed into a lake. Someone took a screenshot of said scene and put this Aye Kenji variant in the background. The video would slowly zoom in on the Aye Kenji while the beginning of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” plays quietly.

drs appointment to beg for meds today wish me luck 🤠

Sometimes you see posts that make you realize that while we may all be watching the same show, we might not exactly be. Watching the same show.

Because Dear Lord some takes.

[madegeeky]

Soooo... remember my fashion game Love Nikki? Yeah, they just came out with a new Nikki game and it is an open world game and it is so much fun.

I normally don't care about photo mode but I'm having so much fun, y'all.

Anyway, InfiniNikki (or better known by the inferior real name of Infinity Nikki). I really recommend giving it a try if it sounds intriguing. It's free to play (you pay money to get extra outfits but, honesty, they give a lot of outfits away for free) and so it's not going to turn to try out. (And, no, this isn't a shill, literally the only thing I might get from you playing the game is being my friend in the game which doesn't even do anything, at least at the moment and maybe never. But also if you play please message me so I can be your friend in the game.)

bro are we gonna kiss rn

[unclemoony]

Ok so tell me if I'm crazy, but I think when the recorder goes long after Alice and Sam leave, I think that muffled whisper bit is when Martin stabs Jon at the end of episode 200. Specifically the moment he is stabbed. That gasp. Listen to it.

RECORDING SESSION Studio Sessions for RCA. July 20–25 1973: Stax Studios, Memphis On that first night Elvis left the studio after four hours, having recorded absolutely nothing. He arrived late again on the following night, his speech so slurred that he seemed scarcely awake. The sound of his voice on the session tapes makes it painfully evident that he had little interest in recording at all. Freddy Bienstock began by presenting a Leiber and Stoller number, “If You Don’t Come Back,” which he had secured under the new publishing arrangement, and Elvis barely managed to drag himself through five indistinguishable takes before Felton called him in to listen to the results. In the end the ninth take became the sorry-sounding master, devoid of anything like fire or enthusiasm. Excerpt: "Elvis Presley, A Life in Music: The Complete Recording Sessions" by Ernst Jorgensen. Foreword by Peter Guralnick (1998)

Elvis Presley at Stax Studios in Memphis, July 1973.

In order to understand better what was going on in Elvis' life at the time the first Stax recording session was held in July 1973, let's get some facts on his life during that year.

1973 RECORDING SESSIONS (BACKGROUND STORY)

The Aloha From Hawaii concert (January 1973) demanded a lot of energy from Elvis. Once it was over he was very tired due to all the months of preparation for this huge concert to which, for example, he went through an extremely restrictive diet to get in a good shape and, to make matters worse, couldn't get enough rest at night either; but things would get even worse in the following months with a very busy schedule ahead.

Following the Aloha From Hawaii was a four-weeks engagement at the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas (January 26 - February 23, 1973), to which Elvis missed several performances due to a bad case of laryngitis (he wasn't even supposed to be working, according to doctor's orders). After the Vegas engagement Elvis had a mini tour in April (April 22 - April 30, 1973) when he performed in Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington and Colorado. Not enough, Elvis then had a two-weeks engagement scheduled at the Sahara Tahoe Hotel, Las Vegas (May 4th - May 20th 1973), to which some dates also had their concerts cancelled, allegedly due to the flu and a chest infection, and back on the road once more another mini-tour followed (June 20th - July 3rd 1973), with Elvis visiting cities in Alabama, Georgia, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri, Tennessee, and Oklahoma. Other than demanding a lot of him physically at a moment his health was as delicate as it was, those concerts ended up being emotionally tiring for Elvis as well. Some of those concerts were highly criticized by the press, highlighting that, for example, Elvis had gained thirty pounds, looked puffy and white-faced, besides he was blinking against the stage lights during the shows (due to secondary glaucoma to which he had been diagnosed in March, 1971) and on top of that, the worst for the audience, his voice sounded weak and his performance lacked in enthusiasm. It wasn't the Elvis Presley everyone knew, loved and praised, and knowing about all that criticism must have felt disappointing to Elvis himself.

The origin for all those health problems, apart from physical exhaustion caused by pre-diagnosed health conditions, adding to unhealthy eating habits and not enough rest, was also emotional. Elvis' personal life was not in the best fitting. He was dating Linda Thompson since mid-1972 but in 1973 he was still dealing with the divorce procedures with Priscilla; the heartbreaking part of it all, what could've been affecting Elvis' mind the most, was worrying about what the divorce would cause to his daughter, Lisa. That can be supposed by a bad reaction to a song Elvis would cut at the Stax, "My Boy"; He showed his feelings about that song telling Felton Jarvis that he wanted it to be done in two takes tops. When asked to sing the song for the third time Elvis snapped at Felton (record producer), "I told you to get this goddamn thing in two takes. I can’t sing it no more." Elvis' divorce with Priscilla was only final on October 9, 1974.

As evident, Elvis was dealing with a lot in 1973. His choice of city for a recording session at that time was Memphis because he wasn't feeling specially excited with cutting records at that moment, let alone travelling to get to a studio in another city. The American Sound Studio's producer, Chips Moman, who had worked with Elvis in 1969, was no longer in Memphis, so the Stax and its crew was a fairly good alternative to them. The initial Stax recording session ended up being disappointing- with only seven songs getting a master approved to be released on the next album. With the lack of sufficient material for a new album after the July recording session at Stax, RCA managed to get their mobile-recording truck at Elvis' property for a home recording session at Elvis' home in Palm Spring (September 22-23, 1973) because Elvis was hesitating in going back to the studio one more time. The album Raised on Rock was finished after that home recording session, and it was released the following month (October 1973), but proved to be a failure in sales.

By December 1973 Elvis seemed to be feeling good again, at least good enough to go back to the studio for another recording session at Stax. He was in a better place physically and mentally by then. But as for the first recording session at Stax, that's the background story... things didn't worked that smoothly in that studio at first.

FURTHER INFO Vegas 1973 engagements (cancelled concerts)

LAS VEGAS HILTON — January 26 - February 23

Elvis was supposed to perform two concerts per night — a Dinner concert at 8:15pm and a Midnight concert at 12:00am) — with an exception for the opening night, with only one evening performance. From January 26 to February 23, 1973 for that Vegas engagement at the Hilton, Elvis performed every single night but the January 31st, with both concerts being cancelled. The other cancelled concerts were exclusively the Midnight concerts, with Elvis performing the dinner concert in those dates. The days the Midnight concert was cancelled were: February 1, February 6 and 7; February 13, 14 and 15.

SAHARA TAHOE — May 4th - May 20th 1973 (ended up sooner, on May 16th)

As for the Sahara Tahoe Hotel engagement (May 4th - May 20th 1973), the agreement was similar in schedule as for the shows at the Hilton — Dinner (in Sahara Tahoe at 10:00pm instead of 8:15pm) and Midnight (12:00am), with the opening night having one evening concert only. On that engagement there was also an additional show ("Mother’s Day" concert) at 3:00am on May 13, apart from the Dinner and Midnight usual concerts prior to this one (which was a benefit concert; the proceeds would go to Lake Tahoe’s Barton Memorial Hospital where Elvis' mother Gladys had once undergone surgery). From a two-weeks engagement, both concerts from May 17 to 20th, 1973 had to be cancelled (eight concerts).
