#same for per pietà ben mio perdona

[tuttocenere]

ok I think I have figured out why I like Cosi fan Tutte, it's because there are all these serious love duets and declarations of faithfulness and horniness, but on a meta level it's all just a game, it's not that serious

and I guess that appeals to me, especially in the context of a story, where it's already not that serious just by virtue of being a story

Five Songs

@ohhalefire tagged me (thank you!) to list five songs I've been listening to lately.

Holy (Til You Let Me Go) by Rina Sawayama - This album dropped right after I'd spent a week or so revisiting some childhood trauma and tbh it really enhanced the listening experience. I've had the whole album on repeat ever since.

Quel guardo il cavaliere...So anch'io la virtù magica from Don Pasquale - I'm trying to put together my thoughts enough to write a piece on why the use of music from Don Pasquale in Hannibal is both extremely on the nose but also deeply weird to me as someone who's done the opera, so I've been reviewing the show because it's been nearly a decade since I did it when did I get this old 😭

Cassandra by Florence + The Machine - This song is how I discovered that I get my stock sound effects from the same place as Florence + The Machine.

19sai by Suga Shikao - A fixture in the majority of my playlists. It has great vibes for most of the photoshoots I do.

D'amor sull'ali rosee from Il trovatore - The Per pietà, ben mio perdona to Tacea la notte's Come scoglio. I'm revamping my audition set, and this one and the Lucrezia Borgia arias are my Italian options.

I tag @celta-diabolica @radiowrites and @bedeliainwonderland 🖤
