Pulp Musicals Episode 3 Thoughts

Hello, anyone else out there who is aware of Pulp Musicals by the amazing talented incredible Matt Dahan?

Well, the final part of the third episode of Pulp Musicals, The Ghost of Antikythera premiered!!

As usual, I was blown away (pun not intended!). This little musical series is some of the best stuff I've ever heard.

EVERYONE did so well. Every episode just gets better and better.

Just really fantastic work by all.

I can't wait for the next episode already!

Thank you again Pulp Musicals for giving us everything every time!!

Mando'a Dialects in- and out-of-universe

Outgame (irl) there are several different versions of Mandoʻa: The Shadows of the Empire Soundtrack version (Notron Cant), the Republic Commando Soundtrack version (Jesse Harlin's text), the Old Republic version (as seen in SWtOR or KotOR), the Republic Commando Novels version (Karen Traviss' version), the Mandoa.org version (their forum members made up a lot of extra vocabulary), several different tumblr versions, and the Disney version (as in the TV-series Star Wars Rebels). They all have distinctive similarities (the Notron Cant is an exception), but unfortunately, they also all somewhat differ. Since Karen Traviss published her Mandoʻa version online, complete with a dictionary, the Mandoa.org version and most tumblr versions are based on her version. Her version in turn is vaguely based on Jesse Harlin's version-the first Mandoʻa on file, so to say. I myself see them as different dialects or development stages of the same language.

See, Karen Traviss' Mandoʻa and also most of Mandoa.org's Mandoʻa uses Basic (i.e. English) grammar with a Mandalorian vocabulary, so I call that version Soldiers' Pidgin. It's obviously (ingame) a creole language that came into existence after the Mandalorian diaspora. It is this Soldiers' Pidgin that Kal Skirata taught his children (the Nulls) and possibly also the language that the Alphas taught other, younger clones (e.g. the CC class or the ARC-troopers) as a "secret" language to hide from the Kaminoans. If it was used by the clones in such a way, the GAR should have its own dialect. The different internet versions of Mandoʻa all seem to be based on Karen Traviss' dictionary, so I see them as different dialects of the Soldiers' Pidgin. The same reasoning can be applied to Disney's Mandoʻa.

The language of Vode An, Graʻtua Cuun, Darasuum Kote, etc. on the other hand uses a grammar that differs from Basic. It is an older form of Mandoʻa, probably the Mandoʻa spoken on Mandaʻyaim before the Excision - seven-hundred years ago. It's a lot more interesting (for me, at least). I propose calling it Classic Mandoʻa. It has its own grammar; it has a similar vocabulary as Soldiers' Pidgin, but with distinct and sometimes varying pronunciations (sometimes depending on the rhyme or rhythm of the song); it has a lot of epitaphs and kennings and references and can have very flowery phrasing. It's used, in or around the time of Palpatine's Empire, predominantly in older songs and poems. An irl-equivalent could be Shakespearean English.

We can probably view the (archaic) tOR version as vaguely translated into modern Mandoʻa (Soldiers' Pidgin, probably) since there is exactly no way that the language changes so little in over 3000 years. I also propose that the Basic back then has very few similarities to the Basic that's spoken during the Skywalker Wars.

Missing is a sort of current, modern version of Classic Mandoʻa. I think that is (sadly) very realistic. A society that is so broken up by something like orbital bombardment would likely, over the centuries, develop several different creole versions and try to keep their original language as unchanged as possible, leading to exactly the combination described above.

Here are some other people's thoughts:

if kal ho naa ho was released five years later they could have licensed soulja boy's eternal classic "kiss me thru the phone" for the soundtrack instead of pretty woman but i guess i'll do it instead.

aman and rohit / kiss me thru the phone

[frownyalfred]

eye in the sky was so good!! the ending is so well put together- it ties together the end of bruce’s resistance and the enduring spirit of everyone else’s in such a satisfying way- having duke’s last pleas to bruce peter out leaving us with just the messages for all the kids and the escape pod being launched- and then kal-el’s desperation and duke’s more detached observation confirming bruce’s death so definitively was really nice

it’s open ended! and bitter sweet! but it ends the story perfectly!! thank you so much for writing and sharing as always

Thank you so much!! I'm glad it landed well. There's some certainties, and some unknowns. I've been listening to "Now We Are Free" from the Gladiator soundtrack and it strikes the same kind of bittersweet feeling inside of me. There's hope, and there's grimness. There's a new day dawning, but there is too much left behind in the shadows for it to be entirely innocent.

does anyone remember that post where someone said that the squad should be introduced while sympathy for the devil was playing in the background? well, i propose an entirely classic rock/70s soundtrack for the aurora cycle tv show. here are some of my ideas:

back in black by acdc: saedii being introduced

seven seas of rhye by queen: when auri and the starslayer are fighting the rahaam ships (or whenever auri does something with her powers)

there are many songs that could work for the bar brawl, but i personally like mississippi queen by mountain

comfortably numb by pink floyd playing during that one chapter where it's just fin being silly by himself

the great gig in the sky by pink floyd playing when tyler dies in the alternate future and kal is confronting his father for his actions

i think for the echo scenes there should be some of the psychedelic beatles songs, like strawberry fields forever or lucy in the sky with diamonds

let me know if you have any other ideas i would love to hear them

As a child of the 90s, what was your favorite Shah Rukh Khan movie and why was I bawling my eyes out to “Kal Ho Naa Ho” as an 11 year old?

K3G, dawg! Or kuch kuch hota hai but I have to say I’m a dedicated Amir Khan lover sorry but Lagaan is peak cinema and also I loved three idiots a lot, devastatingly camp

I.. don’t know if I’ve seen kal ho naa ho!!!! But I love the soundtrack

[anissapierce]

I spoke too soon about the homophobia... Kal penns character gets infantalized (as all characters r in these type of plotlines) bc he doesnt know how to swim and when he does swim he drowns n has to get mouth to mouth from the lifeguard who is his preteen daughters crush. His daughter,his daughters friends and his friends refer to it as a kiss n make jokes

Shit like this is why i wanna have a scholastic excuse to write sth long stupid n heavily sourced about homophobic jokes in sitcoms of the late nineties,2000s n 2010s. If they did this today theyd be accused of queerbaiting n not wht they were doing (homophobic not wht u think visual joke)

Love your writing

I was wondering if you could write a Vau daughter x one of Kal Null boys maybe ordo or mereel because the family functions wouldn't function

Satisfied

Summary: You’re the long estranged niece of Walon Vau, your father having cut him out of his life, and yours, after his carelessness caused you to lose a leg. However, when you graduate medical school, Kal Skirata reaches out to you to offer you a job, and you, happily, take the chance.

Pairing: Ordo Skirata x F!Reader

Word Count: 1237

Warnings: None

Tagging: @trixie2023 @n0vqni @imabeautifulbutterfly

A/N: Sorry this took so long! I hope it's close to what you wanted. I already had an idea for a Vau daughter as a character, I just had no ideas to write her, so I put her here. Also, I was listening to the Hamilton Soundtrack when I wrote this, hence the title.

“Welcome to my humble home,” Kal Skirata greets you with a kind smile, his eyes crinkling at the corners as you step down the ramp and over to him, “I’m glad you agreed to take the position.”

You shrug, “Mother and Father were irate. They’re rather done with Mandalorians, I’m afraid.”

“Well, that’s understandable, given the situation.”

“True. As it happens, I have no interest in seeing my uncle, so-”

“He’s not here. And I haven’t told him that I hired you.”

A bright smile crosses your face, “Then there shouldn’t be a problem. You said you had a situation that you were hoping that I would be able to fix? On top of being a proper doctor for your sons?”

“Exactly so,” Kal motions for you to walk with him, “How much do you know about the boys I adopted?”

“Not much,” You say as you easily fall into step with him, “Other than the fact that they’re clones of Jango Fett.”

“They are,” He leads you through the base, “They have sped up aging, which means, as a whole, they have maybe twenty years before they start dying of old age.”

“Well, I can understand why you want that fixed.” You murmur thoughtfully, “I don’t suppose you have any information from Kamino-?”

Kal chuckles, “If I had that I wouldn’t need you, would I?”

You sigh, “Well, there was no harm in asking, I suppose.”

Kal leads you to a door, “Here we are. Your suite. And your lab is just down the hall.” He hands you a keycard, and you wave it in front of the lock, allowing the door to slide open.

The suite is large, with a full kitchen and a separate bedroom, looking more like an apartment than anything else. It’s not decorated, but you can work with that. You’ll order some paint and make it yours, when you have some free time. 

“Is there anything you need?”

You set your bag on the coffee table, “Can I see my lab?”

“You don’t want to get settled?”

“Well, I have to wait for my stuff to get delivered anyway, so I might as well take a look at what I have to work with.” You reply with a shrug.

“Of course, follow me.” Kal leads you down the hall and to the lab, and you scan the room with an expert eye. Large, open, clean. 

Yes. You can work with this.

There’s a man on the other side of the room, setting up a computer. “Ah,” Kal smiles and guides you over to him, “This is one of my sons.” He says to you, “Ordo, meet the new doctor.” Kal introduces you by name, and you’re not surprised at the way Ordo’s face twitches when he hears your surname.

“Walon Vau is my father’s older brother,” You explain as you scan his face, your head tilted to the side, “It’s uncanny. When you said clones, I thought that they just used Fett as a template and randomized his DNA, not actual duplicates.”

“That is what ‘clone’ means, ad’ika.” Kal replies, amused, and you wave his comments away.

“If I recall correctly, Jango Fett was predisposed to asthma-”

“That’s not a concern. All of the Clones were genetically altered so that they don’t have to worry about that kind of stuff.” Kal replies.

You fold your arms, “Well, that’s going to make my life so much more difficult.” You tilt your head back and think for a moment, “No matter, I’ll make it work.”

Ordo frowns at you, “I suppose, since you’re here, we’ll be getting more visits by Vau.”

“Well, if he shows up, feel free to shoot him…or whatever.” You say dismissively, “He’s not allowed near me. Legally speaking.” You wander off to look at your new toys, “Ah, I almost forgot,” You turn to look at Kal, “My leg isn’t going to be a problem, is it? I’m testing a prototype prosthetic for the next couple of months.”

“It won’t be a problem,” Kal says.

“Grand.” You turn your gaze back to the lab, “This looks great, actually. It’s kind of big, for one person, but If I need to use my chair for whatever reason, there will be plenty of room.”

“Great,” Kal walks over to you, “Do you need anything else?”

“...blood samples. From every clone on base.” You pause, “And everyone else.”

He narrows his eyes at you, “Why?”

“Comparisons. Unless you have a vial of Jango Fett’s unaltered blood on hand?”

“...I do not.”

“I didn’t think so.” You smile at him, “So…blood. From everyone.”

Kal sighs, “Yes ma’am.”

It’s been a year since you’ve started working for Kal Skirata, and, all things considered, you don’t have a bad life. 

You’re busy, sure.

But your work is important, and, all things considered, you love it. 

You glance to the side as the door to your lab slides open, and Ordo steps into the room.

“Still working, mesh’la?”

“Always,” You spin your stool so you’re facing him, “What brings you to my humble lab, Ordo?”

Ordo eyes one of your machines, which is covered in rubber ducks, “Humble. Right.”

“Hey! The machine won’t work unless the ducks are all there.” You say with a defensive frown.

Ordo shoots you an amused look, “Of course it won’t.” He crosses the room to your side, “I’m here, mesh’la, because someone decided to skip lunch.”

“...it’s only���”

“Dinner starts in 30 minutes.”

“...ah.” You pause, “In my defense, I thought I was onto something.”

“You’ve already cured the enhanced aging.” Ordo replies as he prods you to your feet with gentle touches.

“Well…yes. But! I could cure it better!” You say.

Ordo circles you and tugs your lab coat off, before he tosses it over your desk, “You’re not curing anything until you eat. Come on.”

“But…but…Ordo!”

“Don’t you ‘but Ordo’ me. You, little miss, passed out three weeks ago because you forgot to eat four meals in a row.” Ordo says, “Which means you now have a babysitter, in the form of me.”

“...I don’t remember that.”

“Yeah. Because you were unconscious.” He lightly pushes you out of the lab, and you turn so you’re walking backwards, and his hands land on your shoulders, “Mesh’la-”

“Does this mean that we’re going on a dinner date?” You ask, with a bright grin.

Ordo laughs, “You are relentless about going on a date with me, aren’t you?”

You grin at him, unrepentantly. 

He leans in, “If it’ll get you to eat, Mesh’la, then yes. We can call this a date. Though, neither of our families will approve.”

“I don’t care about what my family thinks. And your family likes me well enough.” You counter, “And, I love you, so-”

Ordo averts his gaze, “How you can say that so easily-”

“Because it’s true!”

“I believe you.” Ordo looks at you again, and smiles softly before he kisses your forehead, “I…” He pauses, “I care about you too.”

You grin at him, and pop up on your toes to kiss his jaw, “So. Dinner? I have nice pasta in my suite that I can make while we watch a movie?”

Ordo presses his hands against your cheeks and squishes them, “You’re impossible. You’re lucky you’re cute.”

You beam at him.

“Yes, fine. But I want some of that cheesy bread you made last week, if I have to eat pasta.”

“Deal!”

nct dream as bollywood songs

thought of making this after i saw this post by @yangkitties (which is so cute btw <3). praying this post finds it's way onto the dashboard of fellow bollywood - kpop enthusiasts

𐚁 lee minhyung

prem ki naiyya from apkgk - the awkward and adorable boy-next-door

saawali si raat from barfi - honestly all songs from this gem of a film should be the soundtrack for mark and his best friends to lovers trope

𐚁 huang renjun

sham from aisha - truly the embodiment of the soft boy aesthetic what can i say

sheila ki jawaani from tees maar khan - but he's also a bad bish so

𐚁 lee jeno

mast magan from 2 states - he's just the sweetest and softest, a lot like this song

illahi from yjhd - i can totally see him being bunny (the character, NOT the animal) in some other universe and i love this song so

sooraj ki baahon mein from znmd - need i explain?

matargashti from tamasha - the ranbir kapoor character to hyuck pipeline needs to be studied

𐚁 na jaemin

gulaabi from shudh desi romance - i mean the jaemin = pink logic yes. but also if you imagine him in the mood of this song- calm but somehow playful and adventurous. it makes sm sense

uff teri ada from karthik calling karthik - because uff teri ada indeed

𐚁 zhong chenle

kahani from laal singh chaddha - i swear i'm not trying to baby him. he's a grown man ik, but his presence is so pure and innocent :(( and i love how calm this song makes me feel

dhoom again from dhoom:2 - just fits his aesthetic (plus he would obliterate the choreo)

love how this fic has the tag "kal ho na ho soundtrack" and my first thought was pretty woman and not, like, the title track, which makes more sense
