Entire timeline of Ed HITTING ON THE SWEDE. I feel we as a fandom ignore this.

Ed will be in front of Stede, the entire crew and in front of SPANISH JACKIE and God nor Man can stop him from hitting on the Swede

I just think it's unique

Being sleepy as I am while working, I somehow managed to flip not just one but two of the species. I did not really grasp the mistake until some time away and coming back to post, at which I went "uhhhhh these don't match the categories" and rushed to repaint them lmao.

Bummer in that I was pretty happy with the drawings, but not-as-bummer because I can still share them o. o

Literally not even a cave dwelling species lmao

An easy fix for this one thankfully; this beetle is actually extremely close to the correct species Sinotrechiama yunnanus, I'd just instead referenced Giraffaphaenops clarkei, having mixed up the two species while setting up my references. (tbh looking again I shoulda made this guy even lankier going by the refs but that's okay)

I love seeing these cave beetles lined up, it's genuinely really cool

Mencken: *doing badly in the polls* Roman: Hello, hello! Look at you! Losing it, like a massive fucking loser. * Roman: *has a sobbing breakdown at his father's funeral* Mencken: Hey, hey, hey. It’s the grim weeper. Tiny tears! * Me: Wow. That's some soulmate shit right there. Meant for each other for real!

Before John Williams believed in himself as a conductor, the general manager of the Los Angeles Philharmonic believed in him.

Ernest Fleischmann was a savvy and powerful impresario, born in Germany in 1924, raised in South Africa to escape the Nazis, a frustrated conductor and journalist who managed the London Symphony Orchestra for eight years and ran the European classical division of CBS Records before coming to Los Angeles in 1969 and transforming a “provincial second-rank orchestra,” as L.A. Times critic Mark Swed wrote, “into one of the world’s best.”...

... When Fleischmann saw Star Wars with his kids on opening weekend in the summer of 1977, he thought to himself: God, this score! “It’s really the score and the sound effects that have made that movie what it was,” he later said. “It was almost Wagnerian.” The LA Phil was scheduled to tour Japan that fall, but the tour was canceled at the last minute when the promoter went bankrupt. With his orchestra suddenly freed up, and Star Wars totally consuming the culture, Fleischmann saw a plum opportunity; he paid a visit to John Williams’ Brentwood home and asked the composer if the LA Phil could perform music from Star Wars in a concert of space-themed music. Williams said “Fantastic,” and created a special 28-minute suite from his already super-famous, record-breaking score.

The resulting concert on November 20th, 1977 at the Hollywood Bowl—the iconic outdoor summer home of the LA Phil—was a galactic party designed for young families, complete with a laser light show and readings by William Shatner. The sold-out audience went crazy for it, but the event also highlighted the deep tension between anointed priests of “high culture” and the hoi polloi. “We were criticized very heavily,” recalled Zubin Mehta, the LA Phil’s music director who conducted that night. “Our critics and colleagues said that we had sold our souls to Hollywood. It was really a children’s concert.” The grumpy L.A. Times critic Martin Bernheimer called it “artistic prostitution.”

Fleischmann didn’t care. He had the LA Phil repeat the “Music from Outer Space” program at the California Angels’ baseball stadium in nearby Anaheim, and he commissioned an album of the Star Wars suite and Williams’ new Close Encounters suite, recorded at UCLA’s Royce Hall in December 1977 by Mehta and the orchestra. According to veteran classical music broadcaster Jim Svejda, it was the first time a major American orchestra treated film music “in a very serious way. I think it made a very dramatic statement.”
