Quick tour of Noemi's place before we get into things! I said at the beginning of season 3 that I was revamping my downloads folder—this house was the first thing I built once I was happy with it.

weeeeelll--- Aria from my AU

[starlitfunkster]

Damn, these images are big. Anyways, this is a new AU for Inanimate Insanity!

To recap from my DA: Some idiot (aka MePhone4) accidentally kills 16 contestants permanently killed. Literally no one has any idea how this happened at all, but it did. He reaches out to our world and gets 16 people like these dead contestants to replace them. Naturally, not everyone's going to be happy about these replacements.

Gumdrop replaces Marshmallow. She's.. not exactly known for being sweet. She's kind of a bitch in a sweet coating. In short, that means she won't get along with Apple at all. Not that it was going to happen ever, since Apple got just as mad as Marshmallow did when MePhone4 replaced Bow.

Switchblade replaces Knife. Their just in a phase, being into rock, and edgy media... yeah. MePhone really dropped the ball on this one. Somehow, he became friends with Goo. No one knows why, but some point out it's probably because Switchblade's never had a friend before.

Quarter replaces Nickel. He didn't want to become the new leader of the Grand Slams, since that would mean leading.. and he doesn't think he's a good leader! He's also much more earnest and trustworthy than Nickel.. which is the cause for arguments whenever Quarter visits to Purgatory Mansion.

Rugby Ball replaces Baseball. She's a cheerleader! That's basically it. Also does not want to be a leader, because she's always been told by friends and family around her that she will never be good enough to lead. That she should always just be supportive no matter what. Even when her father did reprehensible stuff to her sister.

Present replaces Box. She's probably the most friendly of the newcomers, next to Rugby Ball and Bamboo! Often she's used to store items, much like Suitcase. Except for weapons, Present resents being used to store weapons. She's often seen comforting Suitcase and Balloon to the best of her abilities, or helping Lightbulb cope with the deaths she just witnessed.

Soup replaces Tissues. One of the more unorthodox replacements, Soup used to be bedridden ever since he was a child. It was due to a heart disease, mixed with a bad cold. Now that he was brought to this competition, he can walk again.. which has made him very happy. Soup is one of the few people who visits Purgatory Mansion, often he's seen speaking with Tissues.

Spork replaces Silver Spoon. Shockingly, he's not rich. I know right, so surprising. (/s) All jokes aside, Spork actually comes from a shelter. He watches over the children in the shelter, and even gets paid a little! It's not much, but he admits its better than his old home. Apparently he was also an orphan, and just became the big step brother to this shelter because he learnt how to cook at a young age. He's still trying his best to keep Paintbrush calm during challenges, making sure they don't break down due to stress. (Also Silver Spoon despises Spork for some reason. Can't imagine why though.)

Gauze replaces Lifering. She helps be the nurse on the competition. As such, she is not competing herself. Although she has to remind the other contestants that she is no therapist, and they should probably consult one.. if the competition even has one, that is. She's trying her best to fill in LIfering's shoes, and so far it's been very hard for her.

Boombox replaces Microphone. Their a dork, in the cute way. Everyone likes listening to their attempts at music.. but oddly, they are often seen at Purgatory Mansion. One has to wonder why they are there almost all the time.

File replaces Cabby. Another contestant with big shoes to fill, this collector of information always remembers what's within his file at the time. Removing a file could be bad in his case, so he began stapling the files inside of him. Of course that's hurting him, and the other contestants are trying to get him to stop that.

Teacup replaces Tea Kettle. She's antique, so she doesn't like being filled with liquids! As a result, if she were to be in a swimming challenge, she'd most likely sink fast. Nothing much is known about her aside from her obsession with antique objects. Apparently she has a thing for Silver Spoon, even now that he's a ghost in Purgatory Mansion.

Bamboo replaces Clover. One lucky contestant who gets replaced by a.. less lucky one. Bamboo is lucky in their own ways! For instance, they got planted in a pot. Said pot would get robotic limbs attached to them by Test Tube so that way Bamboo can move. They also have been seen ogling at the Purgatory Mansion, but.. they aren't entering anytime soon, because they have a fear of ghosts!

Ketchup and Mustard replaces Salt and Pepper. No one was sad when Salt and Pepper were revealed to have been of the 16 killed. And then they were replaced with a duo comprising of two people who love each other. Also they may or may not be very good at the competition? Power couples are fun to make. :]

Medal replaces Trophy. This athlete is known to have two personalities shown depending on the situation. One is his public, jock personality. And the other.. is his scared, shy personality in private areas. He may not show it, but he is truly scared of the situation he was put into.. Also uh, Trophy hates him (maybe).

Cross replaces Yin-Yang. Shockingly, the duo were separated before death.. which would explain why Yang's ghost is missing. Cross is a kind, religious girl who sometimes gets manipulated by a 'demonic presence'. Some of the contestants don't like her because they think she's going to force them into her religion.. which she doesn't. It's dumb, and she isn't like her parents! One has to wonder what this demonic presences goal is at the end of the day? And also where the heck Yang went.

Christmas in the ruins 💞

I am Safaa from Gaza, and I write to you with a heavy heart, but my hope comes from you and your generosity. This is the Christmas season, the season of joy and love, but in our lives now, joy seems so far away.

My two young children, only 3 and 5 years old, are standing under the rubble today, holding Christmas hands. Their smiles should be bright, but their eyes are filled with sadness. My two children do not know what a childhood free of fear, hunger and cold is like.

As a mother, I feel helpless when I see them growing up in such harsh conditions. It is unfair that my two children are deprived of their basic rights to live like other children. My only dream is to see them smiling and to know that they are safe and warm, like any other child in this world.

I know you've supported us before, and I'm more grateful for that than words can express. But today, I appeal to your hearts once again. ❤️ Christmas is a time of giving, and I believe your noble spirit will not leave my two children alone in this pain. Your donations mean life to us. It means food for my children, warmth for them, and maybe, one day, a home for them. Please help us give my child a Christmas filled with love and hope, instead of desolation and sadness.

Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a big difference. Share our story and be the Christmas miracle we so desperately need.

Every time I rewatch Season 3 of Supergirl I'm reminded that Sam Arias was the best thing happened to the show, after Lena Luthor's arrival. Everything was wonderful about her: being a badass CFO while also a single mom, her Kryptonian alter ego as Reign, her friendships with Lena, Kara and Alex, Odette Annable who is just gorgeous, it was perfect. They also had the opportunity to create the greatest story with Alex, maybe if she had stayed in the show she could have developed powers again and become part of the SuperFriends, she would have been incredible.

On the final day of fall, Noemi goes for date #2. But not with Drew 👀

Noemi: "Like I said on the phone, this is pure woohoo. No strings attached. I'm not looking for anything serious, got it?"

Yeah, no, babe, I don't think you need to worry about that 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to see what would happen if I gave Percy a third option—whether that would help him (aka me) tie break between Talia and Sophie. But it turns out he just wants to marry both of them.

Please help my little son Ahmad.

Comparison between life before the war and miserable life during "after" the war on Gaza.

Before the war

My innocent son used to go to the Subway "a building for kids' toys, restaurants, the sea and any place he wanted to see. He used to play with toys, play with other children and watch cartoons in a quiet warm home, but..................now!

During this ongoing war

There's nothing my son can play with, no toys, no gardens, no beach, no cartoons on TV.

All we can see is destruction everywhere and destroyed infrastructure!

My has lost his childhood, all he has is just a tent which doesn't prevent him from rain and cold as the season is autumn, very cold and rainy season, previously he lived in a quiet warm home preventing rain and cold, this miserable tent will never be equal to the warm home which we lost

All he has to play with is clay and some cans in a dirty environment, those things can't be a substitute for toys at all.

His health status is getting worse due to unhealthy canned food we eat which causes diseases.

Unfortunately, my little son has had an operation on his eyes. We have gone to hospital but my son has been extremely frightened. I haven't imagined seeing my little innocent son having an operation on his both eyes.

Please help my little innocent son and donate 🙏

Please reblog my posts so you can help me spread my new campaign.

1910's music: Edwin Payne style

Hi ya’ll! Friendly music teacher/opera singer here to answer a question that pretty much no one has asked (except me): what music would Edwin have listened to/enjoyed when he was alive?

I’ve separated this into three different genres (classical, jazz, and pop), so the entire thing is pretty long. I've also tried to give references for any additional information provided, but most of it is coming straight from my brain after years of music history classes, so feel free to correct me if I get anything wrong.

Classical Music

So, the first thing to know about me is that I’m a big pianist!Edwin truther, and I'm going to be talking about it a lot in this post. It was extremely common for families (especially wealthy families) to have their children train in some sort of instrument from an early age back then, so learning music was something that Edwin likely would have been forced to do.

There are some classical pieces that I have already heard mention of amongst the fandom, so I will stick them in the 'honorable mentions' section, but I want to feature some music that I haven't seen mentioned in conjunction with Edwin's character yet. 1. Erik Satie's Trios Gnosiennes (1893)

So, I've always associated the first three Gnosiennes with Edwin not only because they're so hauntingly beautiful, but also because they're rhythmically very different than a lot of other classical music of his time. The Gnosiennes are largely played in 'free time' (with no time signatures or bar lines), which is a bit unusual for the genre (though modern classical music has a lot more of it). Satie's music really pulled away from a lot of musical customs, spurning traditional forms and tonal structures in favor of more creative options, and I think Edwin would have really enjoyed it.

Edwin's possible interest in breaking musical customs will come back a lot throughout this post, but given that he is often characterized as going against the social grain (whether he was trying to or not), I think he really would have enjoyed Satie's works as a whole. However, Trios Gnosiennes just really speak to me for his character.

2. Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring (premiered in 1913)

The Rite of Spring was a Russian ballet that Stravinsky was commissioned to write for the Ballet Russes company. The work was known for its dissonance and barbarity, and the dancing was described as 'jerky' and 'hedonistic'.

Now, do I think that Edwin would have particularly enjoyed the sound of the the Rite of Spring? Maybe not, but I imagine he likely would have respected its departure from the musical decorum of his time (the piece later went on to be considered one of the the earliest examples of modernism in music). The first public showing of The Rite of Spring caused the theater to break out into a riot partially due to the fact that they thought the music/dancing was a work of blasphemy, and I just think Edwin would have found that hilarious.

3. Gaetano Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor (1835), particularly Spargi d'amaro pianto (the famous 'mad scene' aria)

I don't think Edwin would have been a fan of opera as a whole, but I do think that this work's entertaining twists, literary origins, and technically challenging composition might have caught his eye (I even went so far as to sing through this aria a few nights ago because I was curious, and yeah, its really fucking hard).

Lucia di Lammermoor is a tragic opera based on the 1819 novel The Bride of Lammermoor by Walter Scott, which was based on the real life story of a woman named Janet Dalrymple. Lucia was performed at the Met nearly every season from 1903-1972, and I imagine that if it was doing well in America, it must have been doing numbers in Europe.

Honorable Mentions - Claude Debussy's Clair de Lune and Deux Arabesques - Frédéric Chopin's Noctures (particularly Op. 9, No. 1) and Études (particularly Op. 25, No. 11) - Erik Satie's Trios Gymonepdies

Jazz Music

So, this is where my pianist!Edwin headcanon starts to diverge from the pretty much all of the other music-related headcanons I've seen.

Technically speaking, 'jazz' as we know it didn't really exist when Edwin was alive; he died literally one the cusp of the the Golden Age of Jazz, which is a huge fucking bummer. Jass (as it would've have been referred to in the 1910's) mostly consisted of ragtime and early blues, and was considered to be a 'fringe' style of music (pretty much entirely due to racism). As far as acceptability went, being a teenager with a love for 'jass' in the 1910's would have been the social equivalent of being a teenager with a love for ska or punk music in the 80's (the parallels!!!)

I think its pretty well argued within the fandom that Edwin is a bit rebellious when it come to authority and societal standards, and even though I think he was probably less of a little shit while he was alive, there's no way he was just totally fine with living inside the lines. I posit that, as a rebellion, he would have spurned classical music and became a ragtime pianist (which was one of the main precursors to jazz as we know it today). I actually wrote a fic about this way back when I first joined the fandom, for anyone who's interested!

1. Scott Joplin's Sugar Cane Rag (1908), Fig Leaf Rag (1908), and Paragon Rag (1909)

Scott Joplin (the King of Ragtime) was the most famous ragtime pianist of all time, and one of the driving forces behind creating the jazz genre as we know it. I guarantee that you guys have heard his most famous song, The Entertainer, at least once, and have probably heard his Maple Leaf Rag as well. If Edwin was into ragtime, then its a sure thing that he would have been a big fan of Scott Joplin's rags. I picked the three that I thought suited him best.

2. James Scott's Frog Legs Rag (1906) and Sunburst Rag (1909)

James Scott was also a famous American ragtime composer, and both of the listed songs would have been released when Edwin was pretty young. He probably wouldn't have been old enough to play them for a few years, depending on his training, but thinking of a little 12 year old Edwin learning to play these (as well as Scott Joplin's rags) in his free time just fucking tickles me. I love it so much.

3. Davy Peyton and Spencer Williams' I Ain't Got Nobody, recorded by Marion Harris in 1916

I Ain't Got Nobody was an early jazz standard from 1915 that eventually developed into a multi-genre standard (meaning that it was considered a standard for multiple genres, ranging from jazz to pop to country). I don't have a lot of reasoning for this one other that I think that Edwin would have just really liked Marion Harris' voice.

Honorable Mentions - Euday L. Bowman's Twelfth Street Rag (aka the Spongebob song) - Artie Matthews' Weary Blues

Pop Music

So, a disclaimer here. My music degree required me to take jazz and classical music history classes, which did not cover pop music of the 1910's, so I have fewer historical insights to offer about this genre. However, whenever I think about these songs, I always picture Edwin listening to them through a phonograph while doing homework on his bed, like a teenage girl listening to Sabrina Carpenter or Chappell Roan while studying (I know that's silly, but I think its just such a fun visual). 1. Leo Friedman's Let Me Call You Sweetheart, recorded by the Arthur Clough in 1910

Let Me Call You Sweetheart was one of the highest charting songs throughout the early 1910's, and the most popular version was recorded by a group called the Peerless Quartet. Edwin doesn't really strike me as a quartet enjoyer, though, and this version by Arthur Clough was released the same year. I think he would have enjoyed the tonal quality of Clough's voice much more.

2. Grace Le Boy's The Good Ship Mary Anne, recorded by Nora Bayes in 1914

Nora Bayes was a very famous vaudeville performer of the 1920's, and lot of her biggest hits were recorded shortly after Edwin died (like, literally 1917-1925). I wrote a snippet for a fic that got left on the cutting room floor a while back about the song itself providing a positive association with the term 'Mary Anne', and I still stick by that. In this song, the name 'Mary Anne' only refers to a ship.

3. Irving Berlin's Alexander's Ragtime Band, recorded by Arthur Collins and Byron G. Harlan in 1911

So, this song could technically go under the jazz section, but I'm going to put it here, and I'll explain why. Jazz is an art from that was created and popularized by black musicians, which is why it was seen as such an undesirable art form for such a long time. People liked the music, but they didn't like that it was made by black artists. Alexander's Ragtime Band originated in Tin Pan Alley and was one of the top charting songs for much of 1911 (first in America, then overseas), but it was created by a white artist that was simply 'jumping a trend'. Strictly speaking, genre-wise, its not even a ragtime song—it's a march. It's just about ragtime.

I honestly don't really even like this song that much, and I'm not sure Edwin would have very strong feelings about it either. However, it was an extremely pivotal song for the time period, and likely would have been inescapable (or as inescapable as music could be back in the 1910's, given that music required either records or live performances). Think of it as the equivalent of a pop song that you could really do without, but its so popular that it keeps winning awards and playing in every Forever 21 and H&M within a ten mile radius.

Honorable Mentions - Gus Edwards' By the Light of the Silvery Moon, recorded by Ada Jones - Percy Wenrich's Moonlight Bay, recorded by Dolly Connolly

I hope you guys enjoyed this! I also made a playlist, if you'd like to take a look (I couldn't find all the songs, and not all of them are time period accurate, but I tried my best).

If ya'll liked this, I might make one for Charles and dive into ska and Rude Boy culture a little bit. Feel free to send me any questions or ideas you have about all this stuff, too! I love talking about it.
