Sometimes, I'm sad about the hobbies I have abandoned or have been too intimidated to pick up. But... what good is it, to just beat myself up over that? My bass is sitting in the corner, patiently waiting, and so is everything else. My life isn't over, and I've got nothing to answer to. I'm wading through a sea of time, and I'll pick up the seashells that interest me, and it's okay to put one back in the sand. The current's waves will bring it back to me if that is to be destiny. I can not hate myself into productivity, so I must swim on.
I think the same can apply to anybody. It's okay if you have dropped something, such as a hobby or passion. Human beings are like that sometimes, it isn't reasonable for you to beat yourself into submission. You, too, can not hate yourself into being a well-rounded person. You must cultivate it like you would a garden - with patience, time, and care.
#positivity#encouraging words#i feel like so often people will try to hate themselves into being 'better' people...#...like fitness for instance. so many people slog through fitness not because they are interested in moving their body...#..but because they are told they must do [x] workout or look [y] way...#...and so it becomes a chore that is a means to an end. but... is that how we ought to live you think?#like i go to the gym because it's FUN. i go there to have FUN. i do what is enjoyable there!#i don't worry about anything but if i am doing a weightlife correctly (for safety) and if i am moving and having fun#why would i go to the gym if i am not having fun? fun is a *human need* regardless of age!#we are wired to do fun things - to seek out pleasure. why should we surpress that?#a well-rounded person is somebody who can be in-tune with their feelings and can recognize what is enjoyable...#...and not only that but to not feel *bad* about their feelings or needs changing (this is - at least - my opinion)#i thought this was an interesting conversation and something i sometimes struggle with and see others struggle with

the music in WOT is never random. even if it's just very soft background music, it's relevant to the scene. practically every time there's music playing while egwene is onscreen during s2, the tune is egwene's theme, rearranged and reinstrumentated in dozens of different ways to match the tone of the particular scene. mat has quick little snippets of his theme tune play during various scenes of his, often mixed with the old blood theme from s1, and it finally blares out in full glory for the first time during the horn of valere scene, to parallel how mat is truly finding himself for the first time. even secondary characters like liandrin, siuan, and aviendha have their own dedicated theme tunes that play during their scenes and are never repurposed as background music in other characters' scenes. and all the themes have lyrics in the old tongue that suit the character or concept the theme is about! in conclusion, lorne balfe is truly doing the Most, and i'm so grateful he's the composer for WOT and i hope he'll return for every season the show goes for.
#it's such a joy to rewatch the show after studying the soundtrack and listening to it a million times!#sometimes i would forget to listen to the dialogue because i was too excited about trying to identify the faint background tune#wot#wot on prime#the wheel of time#fingers crossed lorne will be able to do it for all seasons bc keeping the same composer really is so integral for a show imo#especially one like WOT that established such a unique sound landscape in the early seasons#genuinely a major reason why the witcher s2 was such a step down from s1 for me (i haven't watched any seasons since 2)#is bc they changed composers and the cool slavic folk/metal vibe of s1 was replaced by generic fantasy orchestra in s2#it took so much life and feeling out of the show! you might not think soundtrack could have such an impact but it truly does!

I’m so insane over Loghain and Anora’s relationship. The way her poised facade only breaks when she sees the Wardens mean to kill her father, and won’t accept a chance bargain for his life. The way he would never have harmed her, Anora knew this (while also knowing Howe WOULD) and thus she gambled expertly with that hand to free herself while making the best case for this plan to the Wardens. The way he doesn’t decry to her denouncement of him during the Landsmeet, out of love AND the fact he knows she, like him, believes herself to be acting in the best interests of the country. The way he tries to comfort her upon facing the certainty of his own demise.
#AUGHHHHH I am INSANE over them god#they’re so alike#the fact loghain doesn’t see her actions as traitorous because he understands why she makes them#even if he resents what he believes to be the grey warden influence upon her#the way anora throws away the poise with which she so carefully maintained when arguing to keep her throne#(like INSANE to me how calmly she takes stock of the situation and assesses how best to argue for a position rightfully her’s)#to cry out against him being killed#AUGH#tunes titters#anora mac tir#loghain mac tir

this is so funny
#this was on a post abt how ‘theres so much ai art that ai is training on itself and becoming worse’#which is just like either patent misinformation or a complete misunderstanding of what someone was saying#because the vast majority of base ai models use large pre-captioned datasets taken from before ai even existed#thats why like. bing ai/dall e 3 cant do anything that became popular after 2018#it doesnt know what covid is or what zoom is or most recent celebrities. despite coming out in 2023#the only thing this MIGHT be a problem for is people who make like fine tuned stable diffusion models on anime art or whatever#or like the weird sites like deviantart who apparently comb their uploads for ai training?#but even then. the proportion of ai art to real art is not even close to big enough to ‘kill’ ai#like that person said. its crazy to try and pretend we can put the genie back in the bottle…

i do think its kinda funny when i see someone in the year of our lord 2024 talk about vocal synth music like its all gone downhill since like 2010 because like dont get me wrong i love a good niconicodouga-ass 2008 ass vocaloid joint BUT also like. the past couple years have had the most fascinatingly creative and expressive uses of vocal synthesizers ive ever heard in my life DJFSKHJDFS dont write it all off just yet!!
#usually i only see that from people who havent actually listened to any vsynth music from the past 15 years so i understand why they got to#that conclusion. and also usually theyre people who didnt listen to much vsynth music in the first place LOL they just dont know#but it is still a little funny. brother there are things beyond your wildest dreams if u just look#like some personal highlights: the stuff by rinri - particularly their use of the meika girlies#dont carry our memories away is LIFECHANGING the whispers. the spoken parts. the BELTS#plus the haunting and unrelenting instrumentation. fantastic song#and naisho no pierced's propose + birthday + gift sort of trilogy of songs. gift especially has been unreal#again the dynamics of soft intimate whispers to belts but also those fuller high notes with edges of growlyness.#plus the songs just generally rock. and those LYRICS. absolutely intense like physically painful and frightening like#yearning and codependency and possession. and the tuning and production just amps it up more#OH and slave.v.v.r has been doing crazy things for even longer but i only started getting into his stuff recently and holy shit#love eater is like. the scariest vocaloid song ive ever heard not because of the lyrics. but because of the tuning#im like. scared. i cant stop listening to it. the heavy synthesized breathy main vocals and whispered harmonies plus the VOCAL FRY#i didnt realized vocaloid5? i think? has a vocal fry option built in i heard? thats crazy#but specifically in love eater the fry and growl is amped up so deep and loud and clear compared to everything else it like#emphasizes the artificiality of the voice while also amping up the expressiveness#its awesome. and on the older slave.v.v.r songs i heard i will hit you 8759632145 times with this piano. also so fucking cool#addicted to that song. 1) its a great jazzy rocky piano tune with this piano flourish at the end of each phrase that sounds fantastic#but also 2) the lyrics are insane. using kanji to write english??????#people are doing wild ass things with vocal synths rn you guys#this isnt even getting into some of the really unique synths themselves too. adachi rei is awesome i love that shes just like#the perfect inbetween of sample based and reconstruction based vocals. shes a sample based synth#but her samples were drawn by hand LOL shes like dectalks granddaughter to me.....#a really good use of adachi rei is iyowa's heat abnormal/heat anomaly/whatever its called ITS AWESOME thats what it is hjrkfdgfd#i think the fact that vocal synths can be so realistic and clean and noiseless out the gate now has made people really stop worrying#about like. realism all together and looking more into expressiveness. omg vocal synth modernist movement

#I really like the “We're the bad guys' enemy” line. For someone I generally despise Dazai has all my favourite lines in this show…#Idk I can't really vibe with the unbalance that there is between s/kk.#Like when push comes to shove‚ Dazai has the power to keep Chuuya alive or let him die.#I understand why they make a compelling dynamic in their complexity‚ but it just doesn't do it for me.#I'm a little sad my opinion on them hasn't really changed since I watched the anime for the first time...#Also; I really can't vibe with Chuuya allowing Dazai to kill Q. Yes I know Chuuya cares about his comrades deeply.#Yes I know it can be interpreted as Chuuya seeing himself in Q as a living weapon and being disgusted by it#(though I honestly don't think that was intentional of the author).#Yes I know Chuuya is a mafioso and kills people. No I don't think your personal issues justify you being a dick to other people I'm sorry.#Back to my main annoyance with the episode: I must have already talked about this but I hate hate hate the narrative#“the mafia works for the city” “the mafia deeply loves the city too” it's so so sickening and insulting please stop I'm begging.#Please visit any actual city with a rooted mafia presence for once in your life (signed: someone whose hometown was destroyed by the mafia.#The writers really don't know what they're talking about and‚ politely‚ it's offensive.)#Also b/sd keeping being extremely nationalist with Mori (who's largely depicted unsimphatetically for the first part of the episode)–#bringing up western thinkers and subtly mocking Fukuzawa for not knowing them–#and Fukuzawa (the righteous man. the noble spirit and just soul in this episode and Mori's antithesis)–#stepping forward to say that he knows strategists from the east (because who else would he need?)#I don't know if it's meant to symbolize the conflict with an hostile and invading foreign power (the Guild).#But it does come across as. A very isolationist way of thinking.#I know it's subtle but it's really evident for me. And I didn't want to talk about this any further…#But by bringing actual examples of this I hope I can better explain why I think that b/sd holds nationalist views–#and that I'm not just making it up out of nowhere. Otherwise I fear I'd only come off as pettily hostile to b/sd in everything#That's it. I feel like I've been losing a lot of mutuals over my main recently due to not shutting up (sorry)#so I suppose it's only fair I lose them on here too pffttt.#Tune in next week for more bad takes#random rambles

big shoutout to my middle school music teacher whose contribution to my truly obnoxious Obsessed With Ocarina Phase was to teach me how to double-tongue
#this was about the time there was a taco bell commercial out to the tune of the theme of bonanza for some reason#and I cannot explain why but the theme of bonanza became one of my go-tos on ocarina#and I was individually doot-doot-dooting all of those 'the exact same note over and over 14 times in a row' bits#this was not a musical instruments class she just also plays trumpet and was like 'hey here try this'#thank you ms culler. sorry about ocarina-ing so much and thanks for being so cool about it#my ocarina phase is so funny to me as an adult zelda fan because I cannot stress enough that I had never heard of zelda at the time#I got a pendant ocarina from the renaissance faire and made it my whole personality#a kid in school was like 'play this' and hummed like four notes and I was like 'what. what even is that that's Nothing'#(in retrospect OBVIOUSLY this was an OoT song but without knowing that at the time I don't remember which one lol)#also fwiw I didn't grow out of ocarinas I just grew out of playing one very small very shrill one at all possible hours of the day lmao#about me

an absolute travesty we only had the DoctorDonnax2 for like half an hour total. can you Imagine the chaos. the doctor is all like "he was born in fire and blood and war" because hating himself and his choices is his oldest pastime and lookee here! free doctor he can blame and boot out of the tardis! i think they were indicating that blue had donna's memories, but i adore the concept of them having a twin telepathy thing.
the doctor is right to be scared. there are now two people in the tardis who have ALL the context to call him out about his decisions. one is him, who we already know he Despises. one is his best friend, who's literally carrying a piece of him right after he's had the idea that he turns everyone he lets close into the worst parts of himself planted in his head. both of them are part donna and therefore categorically incapable of letting him comfortably retreat into his drama persona and avoid his problems. both of them are also part timelord and therefore he can't "i'm a 900yo alien from the most advanced civilization in the world, i am Unknowable" his way out of it. there's two of them, so they're ready to tag-team him into oblivion.
picture it. we get another donna season. it's just the doctor trying desperately to run away from his worst nightmare of being Known and Loved and Called Out On His Bullshit and the DoctorDonna twins chasing him down with cheerful bloodlust. incredible.
#doctor who#noodle watches doctor who#noodle speaks#it would strike the absolute perfect mixture of the doctor actually being forced to reckon with his issues and the impact that him refusing#to deal with them has had on people and really digging into what it Means to be The Last Time Lord and why his genuine desire to just help#people backfires so often and how you navigate being objectively more knowledgeable and experienced than the people around you without#trampling on their opportunities to grow or controlling them. and looney tunes shenanigans. there are TWO copies of the DoctorDonna on#the loose. what crimes will they commit. against the doctor's sanity and the laws of physics.#every time he does the “i'm the doctor” bit he has to deal with two people going “and WE'RE the DOCTORDONNA” right after him#nobody says “doctor who??” anymore they're too busy trying to figure out what the deal is with the people who say they have the same name#because they're twins. they both also answer to donna. they have Bits that only people sharing memories and a mindmeld can.#no time to be the timelord victorious when the doctordonna are trying to flirt and eat and party their way across the universe

Company: We’re so impressed by you never missing a payment and being a constant customer that you’ve been pre-approved for a really low tier crappy credit card!
Me: Uh, thanks, I guess?
Company: *sees my mid af credit score*
Me: You got a problem?
Company: Sorry, we weren’t aware you were poor, we rescind our offer.
Me: Fair.
#I don’t get why my lousy income suddenly changes my approval rating#like I should have perfect credit because I have a single card and have never missed a payment or maxed it out completely#okay so maybe not perfect but like decent at least#but they always change their tune when they find out how much my annual net income is#I know people who make in a month what I make in a year#it’s kind of pathetic really#being an adult is hard#living below the poverty line is even harder#fuck credit cards#fuck capitalism

a song that i associate with my muse meme!
AHH, hey, ramone!! thank you for sending in this prompt :D since you sent in three of the mic's, i shall now be treating you to three songs that make me think of blamore when i hear them / that i associate with it. an explanation of why i chose them will be in the tags <3
hozier - who we are.
youtube
icehouse - crazy.
youtube
depeche mode - personal jesus.
youtube
#IT WAS PROBABLY NOTHING BUT IT FELT LIKE THE WORLD: musings.#asks - answered.#ooc post.#okay but ESPECIALLY heavy on the last one because it literally all about the idea of someone that people can turn to in hard times-#like a god or a prophet who will listen to your plights and help you + who you should believe in. and i say this because one major theme-#to blamore's character is the concept of being a false prophet and someone who essentially unfortunately takes advantage of people's-#longing for things to get better in gotham. bc i feel like a lot of people there have either been failed by the system by other's or-#possibly both and this is so that blamore can get people to voluntarily want to consume the 'seeds' it distributes in order to uhh...#well purge gotham of its undesirables basically as terrible as that sounds. but yeah that depeche mode song? it's such a good one for-#him and definitely has helped me before to write things related to him since blamore does sometimes believe in its own hubris.#but as for the second one by icehouse that one i associate with it because although it doesn't exactly consider itself to fully identify-#with the label of being a 'man' i feel as if blamore will still talk about itself that way sometimes. its relationship with its gender-#is honestly a little bit complicated NGL because him using it/its pronouns as well is something blamore adopted recently even-#though he'd always sort of felt like disconnected and/or like it didn't really align with how he saw himself completely. BUT yeahhh#i honestly could start a whole discussion about that but i shall do that another time perhaps ahah. anyhow though besides that-#elephant in the room ever since it has transformed into this half-human half-plant monster being... although it does love any partners-#it has very much (trust me) i feel like it does wonder why they chose to be with him more often than he'd like to admit.#so that's where the whole 'crazy' part comes in and as for the hozier song that song is about how you kind of have to carve through-#this 'darkness' to rediscover ourselves and who we want to be as a result of going through a rough time or just something tough in-#general and that is SO freaking fitting in my opinion for blamore because it definitely had to completely reframe the way it thought-#about itself when it transformed. and he also had to figure out what he believed in / what his values were now which can be suchhh-#a messy process TBH but this isn't the first time that blamore's had to rediscover itself as life is honestly kind of this ongoing-#process of losing yourself and trying to find yourself again you know? but yeah. i hope you enjoyed my explanation here tehe <3#and also that you enjoy the tunes!!

after all this time i still can't predict how mayor holiday will be characterized
because like. i feel like all the fanon versions of her where she's stoic and serious and gruff are like... not right?? queen is supposed to reflect her. right. like that much is painfully obvious
... none of those adjectives apply to queen????? now ofc she could be mayor holiday's total opposite to highlight the differences in their approach to mothering noelle - i'm not discounting that or anything because i literally do not know. it's just that's not necessarily the vibe i got
queen is cheerful and silly but very pushy. very demanding. she expects a lot and doubles down and really puts on the pressure when people don't meet those expectations. all with a smile! like. i feel like the fandom saw rudy say noelle's mom is hard on her and saw the thing about her keeping her office frigid cold and automatically assumed she's a cold person who only knows how to frown
you don't have to be stoic to be a strict parent. you can be all smiles and be more demanding and controlling than the gruffest most stone-faced parent in the world. and like... we saw that when it comes down to it, queen is more than capable of dropping the silly antics and jokes and she can and will get serious. she doesn't need cages or control plugs or an army or anything but herself and a few well-placed threats. which reminds me of when alphys said hometown's cops (ugh) don't really do anything because mayor holiday takes care of it all.
i think... maybe. she used to be a little less strict and a little more genuinely lighthearted. but after dess disappears, she drops that lightheartedness. she gets really, really serious about turning hometown into a safe place and making sure noelle is strong enough to like. Survive.
but she does it all... with a smile! after all, every politician's got to have a dazzling fake grin, right?
#and you know after seeing mafuyu's mom come to life. stoic serious gruff mayor holiday is Nothing#it's easy to tune out your parent's expectations if they're a bitch about it. but if they're 'nice' and 'gentle'#and they insist it's what's best for you... and they never seem to give you a choice or room to say no because why would you? this is best.#that's where things get to the point of haunting. looming over your shoulder. suffocating your will to live and replacing it with theirs#not that i think mayor holiday will be abusive or anywhere near as manipulative as mafuyu's mom but like#the first thing you think of when you hear 'she keeps her ac on all the time so her office is freezing' is like.#again. that gruff stoic serious harsh character. that's not very interesting#flip it on its head. show me a mayor holiday with the brightest smile sitting in that freezing cold office. THAT sends chills down my spine#also off topic but thinking about noelle and the holidays in general again made me start thinking about the damn dog burglars again#i am STUCK on their story about the beast who attacked them outside the mansion. like what the fuck? WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT TOBY?#it wasn't susie. it probably wasn't mayor holiday herself. what was it. was it dess?? does it have something to do with THAT mystery?!?!?#if the next deltarune chapters don't elaborate on that at all i'm setting myself on fire

Rewatched Book Revue and can feel the fanaticism I once (and still do!) held for it dripping back into my bloodstream as I find myself mindlessly redrawing poses from the model sheet in MS Paint
#i need you guys to understand that Danny Kaye Daffy was my Duck Twacy. in a way he is why i have my current icon. a screenshot#of him was my icon and December was approaching so i wanted to make it festive but poorly drawing a Santa suit on it yielded awful results#so i drew myself an icon very synonymous to this one. then redrew it the next year. then drew this one like 5 months after that to match th#style#i was doing studies of DANNY KAYE. THE PERSON. I MADE A BOOK REVUE THEMED PIECE FOR MY ART FINAL!!!#i've always loved it but got burnt out a bit because it was like every day obsessing and now i'm reminded why i was obsessed!#lt#looney tunes#daffy duck#not bad for a guy that never took a lesson in his life!
