"real jewish people stand with palestinians and support a free palestine." - look, i agree with this entire post, but unless you're jewish yourself (if you are, disregard this), please don't speak about good jews, bad jews, real jews, fake jews. my zionist relatives are just as jewish as my staunchly anti-zionist acquaintances.

i am jewish. and i have zero respect for jewish people who are zionists. just as i have zero respect for non-jewish people who are zionists. just as i have zero respect for my jewish family members who are zionists

Okay, headcannon for Izuku's quirk being able to hear animals speaking. Like when he turned, a bird landed on his window and he can hear them wondering if someone could give them something to eat so Izuku gave the bird a bowl of seed.

!!!!!!!! I LOVE THATTTTTTT !!!!!!!!

Koda and izuku are best friends and Disney princesses

My question is, can the animals understand him too? I’m going to say that they can, but if you want a situation where they can’t, that’s totally valid!!!!! Tell me and I’ll do a different set of headcanons for that!!!!

I like to imagine like,,, 4-5 year old izuku hanging out in his room and a bird flies on his window sill talking to themself about food, and little izuku is just in AWE

He’d be completely overjoyed

You cannot tell me that the absolute ray of sunshine that toddler izuku is would not be like, “oh my gosh, animals, I can understand animals, can they understand me? Do they like me? If I talk to them, will I be talking in bird or do they understand Japanese? I’ll get you seeds!!!!! I wonder if it’s all animals or just birds? I wonder-“ and his brain is going a mile a minute while he just runs into the kitchen trying to ask his mom if they have any bird seed

A very confused inko gives him some bird seed and asks if he’s okay, and he’s trying to articulate that he thinks he got his quirk, but he’s an excited 4 year old with adhd, who just heard and understood a bird and is thinking about what this means for his future career as a hero, so give him a moment

He does tell her what happened, and she asks him what the bird is saying and if the bird can understand them, and he says that they can, and he’s just so happyyyyyy

Angst time, because I am a horrible person /j

Hisashi Midoriya is not happy because the quirk is likely a mutation of some kind as it doesn’t have anything to do with fire breath or attracting small objects

So, he does a deadbeat dad thing and dips

Izuku feels so guilty over it, but he can’t bring himself to hate his quirk (good) he gets to talk to animals! He can help them!!

Inko makes sure to tell him that it isn’t his fault and that he shouldn’t blame himself

Family angst is over!

UA

So, our dearest son, izuku feral Midoriya, 10000% sneaks animals into the entrance exam

I like to imagine that he went to the park beforehand and talked to a shit ton of squirrels and chipmunks and asked them to help him with the entrance exam if they could. He brings them food as a peace offering (irl you shouldn’t feed wild animals, I know this, izuku knows this, but he can tell them why they shouldn’t rely on humans for food, we cannot, so just bare with me)

But yes. Just imagine izuku giving a war cry to all the rodents that are, for reasons unknown to anyone but izuku, standing around the gates of the exam area, and suddenly like,,,, 3 dozen rodents just start running in and tearing wires out of robots

Koda and izuku are fast friends who bond over their love and respect for animals

They both have anxiety too and are the only (at the beginning) members of class a who know/use JSL!

Okay, something that just popped into my head because I was thinking of how he’d use this quirk in the sports festival, and all I could think of was like,,, Pokémon trainer izuku

And honestly,,, kinda love that

Like, he’s just in the little ring with shinsou (does shinsou’s quirk work on animals?? Like, if he asked a cat a question and even if they don’t understand him, they still meow at him, would they be under his control?) anyway, I’m assuming shinsou’s quirk doesn’t work on animals. So, izuku just brings in a fucking bear who he bribed with salmon earlier and shinsou is like, “wow. Fuck.”

But anyway. I like to imagine that izuku has a shit ton of bird houses outside his window at home, and this continues when they move into the dorms

Aizawa finds him one night talking to a cat in an alleyway, and he’s worried for his problem child being in an alleyway at night and why is he here???? And then, he sees the cat and understands.

Mic goes to check on the class a dorms the next day because his husband never came back last night and he might’ve run into trouble with his hell class, only to walk in on the green bean and his husband smuggling a cat on campus

Shota, you’re a teacher. What are you doing?

He had to. Don’t worry about it. It’ll be fine.

Anyway. Class a has a new dorm cat :)

I hope you like theseeee!!!! They were really fun to write and think about!!!! Izuku and koda being Disney princesses is now something that I hold very dear to my heart 😭😭

[dirtyoldmanhole]

SURPRISINGLY not about gunter. or fates. somehow this blog became 'fire emblem blorbo blog: speedwing* boogaloo' :P (*for those of you who are not like, ancient, "speedwing' used to be my old tellius-based sideblog.)

anyway

(very very very self indulgent ramblin / workshopping about future FE projects ahead)

next year's FE9's 20th anniversary and i am dead set on doing a zihark doujin for it. i got halfway through with one with tons of drawings that are still badass, lord knows that my fondness for him eclipses everything else i've ever drawn, i feel like i can finally do him justice, etc. this is The Moment tween krad has been waiting for all her life.

thing is i've been quietly debating to myself for a year or so if i want to do a strictly canon based doujin or one with selfshipper Stuff.

see, i thought i was going for more of a fanservice angle to sidestep that a little (still totally sliding that in whenever possible) but my brain unfortunately needs like a Modicum of Characterization :D; (as i am finding out with this gunter doujin). i need little plot hanger hooks even if it's gag strips or one off doodles.

and. i like. okay.

quick pros/con of canon-based doujin: wider audience, i don't have certian hangups over it

quick pros/cons of selfshipper doujin: it would probably heal certian parts of my soul if i wasn't being so chickenshit about it. it'd still be pretty? but it'd be harder to draw. i don't know if it would have a meaning to other than literally one (1) alive person and at some point i do have to kinda weigh the 'is the time sink worth it'

anyway

there's, very literally 20 years of inside jokes and shit with the selfshipper thing. i cannot stress to you zi literally got me to start drawing seriously. i don't know why i'm saying this other than 'this verse might be a bit self referential and i don't know if people would Get It compared to just canon (which i 10000% love on its own rights, it's not like i'm secretly dying to just do the selfshipper thing - ideally i would do a doujin of both because just what's in the games proper is so, so cool. he's such a weirdo. :D and tellius is the kind of cast i could stick him with literally anyone and wrangle up a cool scene.

- but. but?

the obvious answer is (do a doujin with both krad, like duh, people are gonna love the pretty pix no matter what ur overthinking it) but it just feels weird...? mixing the streams, if only in a pure technical/storytelling sense, and even above Personal Stuff i want to respect this on a pure craft level. ( i 100% love and go feral over the current wave of the selfshipper revival and would protect them with my life but with me it still feels inexplicably private and... i'm of elder internet, man. for me it still feels ... like it did in the 00's. very fringe-y vulnerable, you know? if you were there you know. idk. i'm still working through some of that.

feelings, god i hate feelings. just give me gorgeous dudes to draw to shut my brain up :D;;; )

[earthgrudgefear]

hidan!!! for the ask game

YES right to it

obviously this is going to be a long post

you've been warned !

favorite thing about them: oh man. i think he's a really unique character. he's only like 2% justified in his anger and he makes it everyone else's problem. he's never depicted as anything BUT evil. the shinobi world is insane right? toddlers are raised as soldiers the second they can hold a knife. and so was he, no different from the rest of them. and the series Doesn't like to push that blame onto people, really early on you hear about all the awful things zabuza did and at the end of their battle he still dies as a respectable shinobi. BUT from start to end with hidan he is ONLY bad. he's doing this for FUN he's not doing it for a mission, he's not doing it because he needs to do it to survive like it was NEVER in question that this guy is JUST EVIL. but you CAN find these human sides to him. he has a Real bond with kakuzu, like they Actually are concerned for each other. in Akatsuki Hiden he meets a kid and he forms a bond with That Kid to the point of giving him funeral rites (burial rites?) when he dies. not as a sacrifice but as someone he cared about. when his village turned on him and he felt REAL betrayal. if he didn't care about them to some extent, he wouldn't still be mad about it. it's just FASCINATING.

least favorite thing about them: i don't even think there's anything i don't like about him. he's so fucking annoying and if i had to deal with him i'd try to kill him too BUT because i don't have to deal with him he's my best friend i like him SO much

favorite line: to be so transparent i like when he's picking on kakuzu for keeping the headband for him.

AND if i can use the book - i like this, it's less about the line itself but more about the repetition of it. like this is how they start every fight and i just think that's delightful

brOTP: y'all already know it's kisame. my defense for this has absolutely no basis in their interactions because honestly? kisame doesn't care for him too much. HOWEVER kisame is the easiest akatsuki member to get along with and hidan is basically impossible to get along with. i think it's a good match.

OTP: kakuhida, motherfuckers. they're everything to me. they were on screen for all of three seconds and i already knew that was it. i haven't been normal about them since. and they're canon as far as i'm concerned. stated or not they were Something.

nOTP: k*nan (sorry for censoring you name queen i don't want it to be searchable) i have such a Visceral reaction to them together i Cannot stand it. their characterization is so BUTCHERED for that ship that they become Unrecognizable. and i don't fucking get it like ??? yes they're both hot PICK ANYONE ELSE. also shipping him with any of the kids. like. that's not cute. he's young but he's not that young also holy shit they don't deserve that anyway

random headcanon: i probably mentioned this somewhere before and it's so easy but i think his favorite color's pink. like red sure because i mean look at him but also. Pink. i like pink for him.

unpopular opinion: i've touched on this before i don't think jashinism is real. i think he made it up and i think maybe he's convinced himself it's real. but i don't think there is a single other person who's ever heard of or tried to join the religion before. there's the kid i mentioned from the book but he learned straight from hidan, and then goddamned ryuki from boruto who i swear to God the writers wanted him to literally be hidan but they weren't allowed. neither of which really compel me to believe it. it just doesn't make tons of sense

song i associate with them: ouuh choke on one another death spells. that's been a big one recently

favorite picture of them:

favorite's a big word but i had this one saved to my phone which is probably good enough

OKAY 10000 points if you made it to the end you win idk what you win but you win

[brandwhorestarscream]

winglord starscream au: different ways, same care.

In comparison to optimus, starscream was a much harsher leader on his own troops.

But honestly, he kinda has to be, his troops are erratic and completely chaotic, even on their good of days.

Skywarp loves to get on everyone's nerves, humans included, and gets extra encouragement from skyquake, who some how, some way, gets all sorts of ingredients for elaborate pranks on the autobots.

The conehead have no cohesion whatsoever, always bickering and breaking something in their useless fighting, and no regard for authority or any respect for anyone smaller than them.

The rainmakers? They're unbelievable loud, no inside voice whatsoever and so mean spirited, roughhousing galore and whining that the other one stole something from the other.

The only well behaved ones are slipstream and thundercracker (and optimus sees why starscream looks so tired all the time)

Of course, everyone at base was annoyed, they could barely get any actual sleep nowadays, no thanks to the coneheads or the rainmakers, and optimus tried to reason with them.

Keyword, tried.

The seeker held no care nor respect for optimus authority, and continued on with their shenanigans.

Until starscream dragged them out and verbally beaten their disrespect out of them.

He spent at least a good chunk of a hour cursing them out in vosian (and yes, ratchet enjoy every bit of it lol)

It was.....disconcerting to the autobots, to say the least.

And this became a common occurrence in the base.

Starscream's seekers go on a regime of chaos, starscream yells it out, they tone down, rinse and repeat.

And it was weird, the autobot structure was so wildly different from those of the decepticons.

Starscream didn't seem to bothered by it, like it was normal, his harsh, uptight attitude to his troops coupled with the casual insults they throw at eachother really made it seem that he doesn't care.

Boy was he glad to be wrong.

It was a simple energon raid, it was supposed to be easy.

Then one of the rainmakers got shot down, right at the wing hinges, and things went from 0 to 10000 in a instance.

Long story short, optimus knew now why seeker group is called a murder, and they got away with way more energon than they expected.

Returning to base with a terrified novastorm chriping like a injured sparkling was so gut wrenching, but starscream?

Oh he wouldn't leave novastorm side the entire night, like a watchful parent, as miko puts it.

The following moring he gets hit with a...disturbing revelations.

"I apologise for the last mission blunder-"

"No, what happened was out of your control starscream, no need for apologies..."

His wings were pressed tightly against his back, and he looked doubtful, scared.

"I should've trained them better, this shouldn't have happened-"

"Starscream-"

"Don't..-"

He looked choked up, terrified

"Don't punish them for this....please... it will be better next time i promise my lord-.."

And things made sense.

Starscream had to be harsh on his troops, else they face megatron's unbridled rage, any mistakes they do is costly, and he , as the winglord, cannot let any harm touch his seekers, no matter what.

And starscream seemed to have realized his own blunder and fled the scene immediately.

Starscream is a harsh leader on his troops, but he has to be.

He has to

Oh 🥺 oh ow 🥺🥺

My poor starbaby

[misiahasahardname]

for the character bingo sheet:

- April and Mikey (did I spell that right?-) from TMNT Mutant Mayhem

- Any character from Duck Tales (sorry if I got the name wrong-)

- The Jomies from TMF

:)

MIKEY (mutant mayhem)

one of the mikeys of all time!!!!!

he’s a lot calmer and positive and yet still has this chaotic vibe about him (which is an iconic trait for any mikey to have)

i would so be friends with him if i knew him personally. i mean, how could i not?????? HE’S INTO IMPROV. THEATER KIDS OF THE WORLD UNITE!!!!!!!!!!

i own a plushie of him and it’s so goofy looking. 10/10, great to watch tv with, very strangleable. (should probably have marked the ‘SQUEAK’ square for that… oh well)

i saw theories that he may die or get badly hurt in the series or the next movie which. 1. crazy 2. if that happens i will start crying and never stop. hurt this man and you will have to face my wrath

also his voice acting is very good. him singing ‘hello’ very very quietly will never not be funny to me

APRIL O’NEIL (mutant mayhem)

SHE’S SO PRETTY YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND.

my loveliest lovely she’s so. lovely

i vibe with her soooo hard she’s such a great representation of an awkward teenage girl, i wanna hug her so bad 😭😭

IDK WHAT IT IS ABOUT HER BUT SHE’S MY FAVOURITE APRIL BY A LONG SHOT (though i do have a great appreciation for the glory that is 2003 april)

10/10 one of my favourite characters of all time. i would play minecraft with her. i would

you gave me the choice to talk about any ducktales character so of COURSE it’s gotta be dewey!

gotta get this outta the way. ben schwartz is such a great voice for him. like. this guy. absolutely greatest voice acting in the series, maybe tied with david tennant as scrooge mcduck

he feels a bit like me as a kid tbh. hyperactive, impulsive, needing constant attention, adventure and excitement, and also needing to be loved and respected by others so badly that he would put himself into danger. yep. that’s very me

literally just undiagnosed adhd in duck form i love him and i need like eight more of him to be happy

JAKE (tmf)

he’s such a pathetic little guy, what’s not to love about a pathetic little guy???

he sings, he’s easily flustered, makes life crushing mistakes and he simps for women??? literally me irl!!!!!!!!

i genuinely care so much for jake i could talk about him loads but i cannot find the words 😭😭😭

give him a fat dose of estrogen i think that could fix him

DREW (tmf)

banishing him. 10000 years of therapy for drew.

there’s something about him that’s just..,..,,,,,,, idk. i think he’s very not ok i needs help right now

he is DEFINETLY overrated to me, i do not care about him as much as most other tmf fans do, but those complex analysises of him i absolutely ADORE. yes keep getting under his skin!!!! study him and his brain!!!! figure out what went wrong!!!!

top characters i would use the head of as a pillow (i’d do it cus his hair gives me very soft and plush vibes. i’d also do it to fuck with him. i’m very evil)

LIAM (tmf)

i have little thoughts about him 😔😔😔😔 does give art freak vibes (lol just like me fr).

totally pretends he’s a vampire around gullible children because it’s funny

HENRY (tmf)

PATHETIC LITTLE LETTUCE BOY. LEAVE MY LINE OF SIGHT RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!!! I NEVER WANT TO SEE HIS SMUG ASS EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! (/j i love you henry!!!!)

look at him. he’s such a bastard. most bullyable character of the series

he’s so funny to me. like. hello????

his one crime is loving lettuce. that shit has the worst texture ever!!!!!!!!! lettuce enjoyers dni (another big fat /j)

would definetly kiss the homies goodnight. he doesn’t know he’s homosexual because he’s so unserious about it

ahem that’s all

[djarindykes]

I was listening to Thumbs by Lucy Dacus and I realized it really could be. the "Din's POV about Luke and Anakin" song. it even kind of expresses the Mandalorian sentiment of "No one cares who your father is, only the father you will be" at the end, you know?

abso FUCKING LUTELYYYYY anon I agree 10000%. lucy dacus lyrics and dinluke are my LIFEBLOOD!!! I feel that din’s thoughts on anakin would be very complicated. because he knows that luke had it in his heart to forgive him, that he loves him and considers him his father, and din respects that, but he cannot fathom it all all. in din’s mind anakin is the worst kind of person to be. not just darth vader but someone that would hurt their own children over and over again. din is vengeful, he respects lukes love for anakin but he’ll never get it or hold that same respect for anakin, even without taking into account din’s anger in how the empire stole beskar and tore his wounded culture to shreds

and maybe luke knows this….and though he feels ashamed for it, will even go as far as to defend anakin from din’s fury, but a part of luke likes it, having din advocate for the pain that luke has healed from. he cannot and will not ALLOW what vader did to him affect him anymore, but din’s hatred for vader makes him feel like someone is on his side. yes, leia is on his side and gets it more than din ever will, but it’s different because of how safe luke feels with din in the first place. he feels protected and advocated for

the mandalorian sentiment is sooo special to me.. because that quote would reassure luke more than anything else. din doesn’t see him as the big bad offspring as darth vader that luke is afraid of being, din sees him as something good!! not an extension of vaders evil!!!

“I love your eyes And he has them But you have his 'Cause he was first I imagine my thumbs on the irises Pressing in until they burst”

“I wanna take your face between my hands and say "You two are connected by a pure coincidence Bound to him by blood, but baby, it's all relative You've been in his fist ever since you were a kid But you don't owe him shit even if he said you did You don't owe him shit even if he said you did"

Like wow …. sorry for rambling so bad op i just feel strongly about them or whatever

[meatriarchived]

i cannot sleep for the life of me due to nausea, im running on maybe like. twenty solid minutes of the Essence of Sleep™ than any substantial sleep so. whatevers below may not make a lick of sense etc but imma just ramble until maybe my eyes kinda tucker out on me and whenever i become more human again ill revisit this so. possibly take it with a grain of salt

and also possible cw in the just case i ramble about anything like g.ore / injury / murder what have you. also nothing is meant to like. pigeonhole interactions into what this mess might have in it. i am simply wordvomiting at this point from lack of rest fingerguns

so when i think about the, what, i think they said roughly a month that maria's been missing? ( dont quote me pls but thats the estimated timeframe i have in my head so if its not then.... vague hand gestures ) with the implication that she's been captive so long, obviously comes with some thread-pulling on the usual M.O. of the family, which is typically yknow, kill quickly get the body taken care of so ideally no ones' missing their loved ones long enough to follow any trails. which, in that case, would mean that more than likely maria ( maybe others in the past ) were kept around as a plaything of sorts, a thing to toy with, to break.

and while i could see it being done so by johnny, for whatever his motive could possibly be to keep her alive for any prolonged period of time. frankly? i could more easily see her being kept alive for so long because of nancy. if maybe its just the womans' vitriolic nature that compels her to do so with a random victim from time to time, esp with her voicelines about some conjured up "attraction" regarding johnny on marias' part ( no ), its like. i could so easily see the woman being a big part of why they didn't kill her off as quickly - to teach her a lesson? to taunt her needlessly? to take out her sick anger on? who knows. but thats what im more inclined to at the moment when it comes to how i portray maria, esp in her Living aus.

its partly why ive got the itch in the back of my mind tho to possibly take on nancy when shes released ( i want to have more info on her esp before i decide to or not ). the woman just has so much venom in her and as much as it compels me to wanna hoist her up and throw her at a wall, shes like the hoyt of the game so far - theyre meant to be disgustingly cruel and vile and disturbing characters. but shes such a... nice foil in a sense to both luda and to maria.

like luda's not unfamiliar to killing, shes got blood on her hands in spite of her age, but shes not unnecessarily violent like nancy. luda harms or kills to get the job done - nancy has too much fun with it, she seems like she likes to take her time with people she fixates on and she seems as if she'd going out of her way to cause an abundance of unneeded harm to her victims. id argue that luda is respected in the family for her guidance and her role as matriarch, nancys' just lowkey straight-up feared to a degree because of how 0 - 10000 she can get. i can see them losing alot of potential food because she just...frankly goes way too far at times handling victims, that it makes the body mostly if not completely unusable to be butchered properly.

all that to say, yeah johnnys the one that herded maria to the family and sure i can see being why she wasn't killed immediately for likely just toying with her for a bit, tho with him i can feel the novelty of doing so could dwindle fairly quick; but i can see nancy being why shes still alive almost a month later, and in such rough shape yet still being kept alive ( in reference to her worse wounds being stitched up - if speaking with thomas in mind, he does enjoy sewing and will sew victims up if they arent ready or needing to be butchered right away so, could argue that he / bubba were told to do so by nancy to prolong maria's suffering. )

as for maria, in the aftermath of it all, its difficult to describe the types of injuries she definitely has because frankly when you consider the idea of her being alive for those weeks, her injuries must have been consistent and substantial, yknow? shes severely m.alnourished, severely dehydrated. physically shes a complete wreck and i truly think that until she saw ana and her friends? she'd gotten to the point of being shut down to it all and was simply waiting for death to take her in its arms ( which, i think if we think about nancy having a hand in keeping her so long, the lack of fight / reaction likely set her off in a different way than she's used to victims behaving and made her want to prolong marias life just to spite her ). like. at the end of it all, these people genuinely terrify and disgust and have t.raumatized her so badly, imagine being in her position for weeks.

maria's entire worldview and thoughts on people in general were so severely trampled on by this one singular family unit; she could never blindly trust people again, paranoia of being followed like she was, flinching from physical contact with people. she feels a shiver of fear when people smile broadly because she views it as having a sinister motive behind it. so much of her trust and willingness to see a shred of good in people by default just, shattered completely.

to note: i am still awake and my eyes are not tired yet and i am internally sobbing cause at this point im not going to get any sleep until later in the day cause i have errands to run in a couple hrs but im gonna cut this here dsfbjhkas

i'll end it here tho by noting that, should this make sense in terms of nancy by the time shes in game and all, then theres a good chance she'll ( unfortunately ) be added but also

in terms of the slightest sliver of a chance that, should one of the friends locate maria years after shes gone off to the pacific north west on her own and tell her about the plans to return to the house?

imma just be real and say maria may or may not wanna beat the ever-loving shit outta nancy if she somehow still has the audacity to be breathing- dsasdjk

Music Rambling No.8

The one is entirely made of music given to me. Few pieces by @aroace-poly-show, as well as a few from one of my lecturers. Lots of crazy stuff really.

Glass beach - Selection from Plastic Death - Motions; Rare Animal; and Comatose - 3, 5 and 10 minutes respectively. This is actually three pieces from a recent album Plastic Death. I decided to combine it into one longer section here, that way I can cram more into the ramble. I don't really know Glass Beach, but I have heard of them and did listen to a piece or two a few years back. I do recall from what I heard that they had lots of interesting little strange bits through their music that was really neat (change time signatures and interesting harmonies).

First one here is Motions opening drum beat is extremely cool. Something neat is going on with the time signatures in the opening, and I think the drums are maybe overlapping over multiple bars. I'm going to be honest I cannot tell what the lyrics are saying about 90% of the time. There is so many interesting rhythms and shifts in this piece. Took me a second listen listen to even try figure out what the rhythm was doing in a lot of places. It's a lot of interesting beats in 4/4 with a few extra bars with more/less beats in them to stretch the time. I personally love this as a technique and I do it all the time myself. I am also terrible at hearing rhythm and had to carefully count while listening. Very interesting and lots of think about with this.

Next up is Rare Animal. Lot of very nice harmonies in this one too. I do really like the instrumental section at the start. Lots of interesting sounds and mixing done here. The pause right before the chorus comes in extremely effective. I once again can barely understand the lyrics, and also really like the time signature changes in this. Not a lot of different things to say with this other than it is also very nice. The time signature shifts in the second half are particularly interesting to me because they are effectively just constant hemiolas. It moves into compound time briefly (or really just using triplets, they probably didn't carefully notate it). More than a hemiola really, which they also use at the end of the chorus, but still interesting nonetheless.

The final piece here is Comatose. I really feel like there isn't a lot more I can say about this. These people have a very distinct style of harmony and rhythm, and they do it well. I do like this piece is a fair bit slower and moves through it's ideas a bit slower. With all the extra time there is so much space to develop ideas and shift the texture, and they do this very well. The instrumental section around 5 minutes is particularly neat. Lot of very well done soundscape kind of stuff. The huge drawn out ending here is extremely fun to listen to. Overall there is a distinctive harmonic and rhythmic style to this band and it's very interesting. Not really at all the sort of music I tend to listen to but very cool.

Kikuo (feat. Hatsune Miku) - Sight, Noise, Life and the Earth - 38 minutes This piece is extremely fascinating to me. It's so varied and dynamic all throughout, and there is no real way to discuss any single part in depth without it turning into a 10000 word essay at minimum. The opening in immediately captivating with the singer on the simple pentatonic scale. It reminds me somewhat of a lot of gregorian chats, as well as an erhu with the vocal slides. Either way it's very cool, particularly the way it breaks the pure tonality as it fades out. The way you can hear repeating motifs and sounds constantly appearing as the piece shifts into new sections is extremely satisfying and there is so much range in what this piece achieves. It's because of this that it almost feels symphonic in nature to me, although not in the traditional sense. There are orchestral instruments used but they are all quite distinctive done in a vst anyways. There are so many fun sounds you can listen out for. Absolutely phenomenal piece and I think I need to listen to it again to really try pick apart what is going on better.

Mazzoli - Symphony for Orbiting Spheres - 10 minutes Particularly enthralled by this piece. It blends a fairly tangible harmonic world with a lot of the soundscape side of contemporary orchestration. I'm particularly fascinated by the addition of synthesizers and harmonics(?) into the orchestra. I would be very interested in seeing the score for this at some point as there is a lot I feel to study with how the orchestration here is done. Very cinematic. Not actually sure how else to describe this piece. So many nice moments of orchestration and great sounds throughout. Extremely cool though.

Ed Bennett - Accel... - 5 Minutes Another interesting minimalist piece for a mixed electro-acoustic ensemble. As you might guess with a piece of this title, the music in fact gets faster and faster over the course of the piece. There are a lot of very interesting sounds in here. The trombone and the damped concert bass drum stand out particularly to me. The trombone really steals the show with all the sounds honestly. I do feel a little bad for the violin and keyboard plays who play fast repeated notes for almost the entire piece. A nice piece with a lot of interesting sounds and good use of repetition.

This is so, so, so fucking true. It's sickening. I don’t follow football at all, but I’ve had a really hard time seeing videos of this pop up unexpectedly on my feed. It’s so hard to watch, and I think I did see Damar’s brother request that the video be taken down of the actual incident. I can’t even imagine. The humanity of sports shouldn’t be lost; the people behind team colors, jerseys, and sponsorships. What I do know a lot about is gymnastics, and since Simone Biles was mentioned, I want to comment further on her situation.

What people who don't follow gymnastics never fully understood about Simone Biles’ break in Tokyo is that it wasn't just that she was stressed and that she was trying to prioritize her mental health. Would that have been enough and 10000% justifiable and sufficient? OF COURSE. And I ADORE people who never asked any more questions than that. None were needed. But what that level of stress had caused with Simone was something called "the twisties" in gymnastics. This means that gymnasts get mentally lost in the air while flipping and twisting and literally cannot complete the skill; they bail early. No big deal, right? Wrong. They also have no way of guaranteeing they won't land on their head or neck. They're so mentally lost that their innate muscle memory goes out the window. 

The twisties are temporary - something similar happens in all sports, and is called "the yips" - but in gymnastics, it can be dangerous and even deadly. I used to take gymnastics (I was never good at all) but I have followed the sport for years, and Simone is - no contest - the greatest gymnast of all time, male or female, from any country. The sport is subjective in that there are elements of beauty and artistry involved, but even those who don’t personally love her gymnastics style don’t deny that she’s the GOAT. The fact that people who never watch gymnastics on any other occasion shouted at her from their couches to perform to their specifications (suddenly caring about gymnastics, despite not knowing the scoring rules nor being able to name any of the elements or skills) - for her country, for her team, for their entertainment - when she had already done SO MUCH (and when, don't forget, gymnasts aren't paid the millions of NFL athletes unless they make it to the Olympics, accept sponsorships, and therefore forfeit their right to compete in NCAA) made me sick. 

I respected Simone so much for not getting into the specifics of the twisties in every interview - mental health is enough and should always be, and she didn’t owe any people complaining an explanation - but I wanted to throw in their faces anyway just how ridiculous they were being. Do they have ANY IDEA how difficult (and dangerous) gymnastics is? That Olympic-level gymnastics takes at least 10 years of training at 6-8 hours a day, untold sacrifice, and countless injuries, at an age that means you’re putting a young body and mind through torment and pain? Do they think she just... didn’t feel like competing? After all that hard work? Honestly. People are so fucking stupid.

Simone tried. She did. There are videos of her training a day or two before she pulled out of competition; she fell on a dismount from bars that I’d never, ever seen her fall from. Not competing DID prioritize her team’s chances, if that’s all these stupid people care about, but it also prioritized her personal safety. She came back to compete in the balance beam event finals, and - while her performance was enough for a bronze medal - those of us who knew her abilities could see that she was off, almost dangerously so. They’d all be singing a different tune if Simone were their daughter. Or sister. Or friend. It’s that same old tired Conservative argument: They don’t care about other people until they’re suddenly forced to. They care about establishments and traditions. Like the NFL. Like Olympic gold medals. Concepts over humanity. And also, as I believe Simone mentioned, she’d been dominating the sport for YEARS. She won every competition she entered. Won almost every possible gold medal. Allowing someone else to compete in her stead that wouldn’t have otherwise been able to should be something beautiful and celebrated, and it WAS for the team. They came together to WIN A TEAM SILVER. Without the star everyone expected would carry them. That’s HUGE. And this WIN was overshadowed by people whining about Simone letting her team down somehow. Caring only about medal results is so... utilitarian. And so, so against what sports should be. 

Gymnasts have been paralyzed during competition - at the 1998 Goodwill Games, 17-year-old Chinese gymnast Sang Lan fell during vault warm ups and broke her neck. She remains confined to a wheelchair to this day and later sued the organizers of the event, citing poor organization; she was allowed to vault when another coach was removing a mat, leading to distraction. The event moved forward after her catastrophic fall, despite the other gymnasts witnessing this event and being visibly upset by it. Many of them knew each other, even those from other countries. In 1988, Julissa Gomez, an American gymnast once coached by the infamous (and highly controversial and abusive) Bela Karolyi, was paralyzed during vault warm ups at the World Sports Fair in Japan. She died three years later at only 18 years old. Her mother blamed abusive coaching techniques, as she thought the Yurchenko-entry vault Julissa was made to perform was dangerous and that Julissa wasn’t ready (at the time, it was a fairly new and high-level vault, especially before the wider modern vaulting table); she said that Julissa’s subsequent coach after Karolyi, Al Fong, was also to blame for her teammate Christy Heinrich’s eating disorder and that he made her “skin crawl”. In 1980, Soviet gymnast Yelena Mukhina fell after under-rotating a tumbling pass called the Thomas salto (now banned), landing on her chin. This left her as a quadriplegic, and she passed away in 2006 due to health complications. 

The Thomas salto, as I said, has since been banned for its inherent danger; other rules, such as the increased age limit at the Olympics and a different vaulting table, have been instated to help keep gymnasts safe, but injuries abound in the sport. Simone had reason to worry for her safety in Tokyo when she found herself with the twisties, as she performs tumbling passes and dismounts LITERALLY NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD HAS EVER DONE and maybe will EVER do. Though Yelena Mukhina was reclusive after her devastating accident, she did have this to say (according to ighof.com): “She criticized the Soviet gymnastics program for deceiving the public and for their insatiable desire for gold medals at all costs.”

So yeah. I don’t know what it will take for changes to be made or for people to stop blaming literally everything EXCEPT for the actual problem, which I guess is the inherent capitalistic tie to sports, but something needs to change. Quickly.

they need to stop this NFL season now i am not joking or being facetious they need to reevaluate how football is played fundamentally and it should have happened after Tua earlier this season

[scentedchildnacho]

She asked if I was going to do anything special today so I said no Barak Obama isn't president anymore and I have found out if the government is also fair it can only genocide the God of centuries.....Barak Obama was like a genius people who know to better pride and respect people like my grandmother's for calendar adherence knew to see about people their essential hypocrisy they care about veterans but are always a superior counter culture to the majority ......

Barak Obama knew to really kill dead Osama bin laden for scary creepy hidden minority religions that parasite on the majority.....

If it's calendar now never ever celebrate a holiday or ever be evangelical or helter skelters will try to kill you....you have to have a radical time frame get into gen x and folk theory or it's a people and they genocide people's as to blame for everything....

Fair governments about the Vatican .....the allies were a little more thoughtful then Hitler and stopped killing but the genocide there did have to have very famous private agents that actually relieved their condition....

Kamela is a heel ass....she travels around dressed like a bitch and you have to be stewarded by her party or there isn't anything she is a bitch

Ive looked into second wave feminism and woman is inherently underclassed....those jobs I wouldn't say are designed for men but they don't dress as decently as men on the job and that is the job requirements ...

Kamela as current woman's history is a bitch compared to negro resistance many women who serve as police do observe uniform conduct

She asked me my path and I told her todd Gloria is a very suspicious worse then eve ill man in some way....that's the exact wrong peak urban imperative here it keeps encouraging Sandled Indians to bdsm at....and people here need a lot of the population assessed for immediate evacuation to a rural location and correct start up

This is completely wrong for the United States coasts are not metropolises this type of repulsive piled on each other building after building is the worst stuff ever and they went and stole a lot of people off a pacific island or rural location somewhere and did threaten people with a nuke ...

Simm theory is no longer relevant George simmel suggests a criminal typology that Greek story kills....these situations are doomsdays there was way too many people here and it's ultimate objective was to nuclear bomb us all here ....

Many are natives most likely and they only wear their hair that blond because it's rude to go to white areas acting like a creepy foreigner a white cannot comprehend

They weren't letting a nativeism leave white yet to start up somewhere rural....and whites are not in their tourist fantasies yet this is all very kill baby

I've never more wanted wrecking balls to start hitting out properties to force green space between housing so it is like a 5000 dollar place to rent....

These peoples are so mcworld tribal insane I only desire population control....

There is like a lot of unused trailers south of LA and no one was evacuated out of mass rape...this did just mass rape these peoples....

Anthony King and satellite data and their natives they don't have any God of centuries they aren't some 10000 year history they can accurately pin point a sustainable start up now what won't let their people go...ask Moses....

Todd Gloria has a wicked case of borderline personality disorder he is Puerto and native then roots to Irish that doesn't make any sense people who are something are it ..I may be will become Irish Catholic and Hispanic instead of just white but how is someone 6 different things

One day I will not be white with Catholic aid to genocide one day I will maybe be a Catholic

Todd Gloria is like everything mass murderer criminal not just kind of Greek story no

She asked me if I was waiting for my friend so I said no doomsday theory is more relevant then simm theory there is no friend and crime of passion this is a genocide all they do is shock and kill here my big sister with the government comes like my not naive African and native sister arrives and finally beats up the creepy stagflation jobs or those are helter skelters just annoyed they couldn't rip me yet ...

One day I will be more Buenos Aires instead of scary over crowded Chicago one day I will be more Hispanic and live in peace

At the time I told her why is the government never around or doing anything for people why is it all a creepy.....absence that shows it's around by severe deprivations and constant wealth lending to itself but never shows up cares or actually completes triage

Jobs are not just stagflations that's naive in marginalized people's time of need they were fucker bitches that held blood drives....those jobs if truly repentant will go through the ultimate criminal process and almost die of complete starvation in schools....no it won't just be hiring and completing the pornography

The jobs in California are truly Buddhists and will not like Aaron Hernandez just go kill themselves instead of paying it back for their crimes some of it truly will go through the complete criminal process for what they did to us as homeless people that was very very very disgusting reprehensible conduct

I asked her if she knew what happened to that couple that never stops sitting behind the security station by the portas what is going on there....

She wanted to know why I was interested so I told her when I first arrived and didn't know what to do everything kept shocking me with no obligation go die of a shit beach their the ass tans

So I go to that couple and try to ask them how people survive here with a rodent infestation as virulent as jobs....and they also beat and shocked me with some dumb bitch restrains their kids to the bed at home saying

Jobs as Them have become so speciated I can't care if it's conduct was just being a juvenile creep and will end up in a mass grave for not being anyone to anyone

And she told me if all they do is help to gang shock you they have been around a very long time and that's what's primarily important they have been around too long and don't voluntarily leave though they have become gang shock new people freaks that don't know how it goes here

I only wait around because there wasn't yet an executive order to tank the place and an army vehicle to be taken to a FEMA place yet....but make no mistake it's only going to get much worse...that's all they do is shock people....

This really creepy mid east gang in Brunswick Georgia that tried to kill me on a death row for crimes they committed if native typology didn't show up to beat them up for it .....they told me they stole my identity and I have to be whatever they tell me I am....Sonya beautiful blond....if it isn't an obscure folk community they kill it

I am little sister white and the compromise thing was too off the wall and so big sister finally beat that creepy white managerial team off me

20-28 for seb >:^)

ehehehe babygirl time 2.0

20 + 27 answered here

21. What’s one secret of theirs that could potentially ruin a relationship they have?

he doesnt really have any secrets. if anyone wants to know anything about him, he will tell them. maybe he would be very vague about it, and he'd dance around the information a bit, but he will let them know only what they need to. the only thing that could potentially ruin everything for him is his past with arasaka, which he was more of an unwilling participant in rather than actively taking part in it. he didnt have any say in anything there, but that does Not matter to the clients he has. if they see his name tied to arasaka theyre immediately going to think he's not trustworthy, or still working with them in Some capacity, even though he has 10000% cut all ties after they tried killing him that one time

22. Are they a dog person or a cat person — or something else?

CAT 10000% mostly bc he has never met a dog before in his life. and has a cat of his own [frankie stromboli, but everyone, including seb himself sometimes, has to call him Mr. Stromboli out of respect]. his cat is like a son to him, and has entire conversations with him on a daily basis. also holds him like a baby.

23. What's one childhood memory they've never forgotten?

he and his siblings broke into a bakery and stole a bunch of food once and they all had to run like hell before they got caught <3 they dropped a lot of the stuff they stole but they still made it home with a good amount of cakes and cookies so it wasnt a complete failure. he got in a fuckton of trouble for it, but it was worth it, and he'd do it again in a heartbeat.

24. Do they have any phobias?

extremely claustrophobic. he WILL throw up if he's in a small space for too long. also pretty terrified of needles which is not very fun considering he had to deal with them every day while he worked at arasaka, which, if anything, made his fear of needles Worse. but even then it's like, very specifically syringes. tattoo needles???? he does not care. but a syringe??? anything could be in that. he doesnt know whay it will do to him and he would rather keep it as far away from him as possible.

25. What's one thing they're utterly incapable of doing without the help of someone else?

admitting that he needs help <3 HWGSHDHD he is very bad at it ok!!!! he needs to be yelled at before it gets into his brain that hey maybe his jaw shouldn't be hanging on by a thread and he should let someone fix it for him actually. which, again, is an entirely different problem. he will admit he needs help [eventually] but will not accept the help. even if it is actively killing him [stupid]

26. What's one topic they could never get tired of researching or learning about?

OLD CARS he loves old cars SOOOOOO much. he has a few of his own and he is spending his free time learning everything he can about them.

SPACE TOO. especially constellations. he needs to know where they all are and what their names are. and if they dont have a name, he is giving them one. he wants to get to the point where he knows exactly where they are even when it's the day and he can't see them

28. Who, if anyone, do they dislike the most?

his father is pretty high up on the list, and was his most hated person for a WHILE, but that spot was overtaken by his ex wife, alana, bc she basically ruined his life and left him with SOOOO many issues, and also almost got him killed MANY times. so. i think he's allowed that one. his old boss who she cheated on him with is also very high on the list - not only bc of the cheating but also bc he had a very big role in arasaka completely fucking him up and screwing him over. he cannot catch a break <3

A pre-planned rant because I can:

Repeat after me: 👏🏼 Both 👏🏼 ships 👏🏼 are 👏🏼 toxic 👏🏼

It’s just extremely puzzling to me when people claim moral superiority just because they don’t ship Dramione even though they ship DRARRY, which is just as bad (and arguably worse). Maybe there were some fruity moments… but did y’all forget they antagonised and attacked each other nonstop for the previous 6 years? Did y’all forget Draco wanted to actually crucio Harry in HBP (if Harry hadn’t cast Sectumsempra and prevented it, Draco would have literally tortured him)?

“Draco called Hermione slurs” mhm and he also made fun of Harry for being an orphan and for 10000 other things, what’s your point?

“Draco wished on Hermione’s death” as if he didn’t do the same to Harry like everyday?

“Draco saved Harry” and in doing so he prevented being responsible for someone’s death and saved Ron and Hermione. He did that out of regret for joining the DEs and saving the Chosen One, that doesn’t have anything to do with him being totally in love with Harry.

“Drarry had development” what development? The only development we see is in DH (and maybe HBP), but that’s only because we actually see that Draco has a conscience and doesn’t truly belong on the Dark side. There was zero implication for a healthy romantic relationship. Perhaps they could’ve been friends when they grew up and moved past the war, as we see in the CC, but why does the development necessarily have to be romantic?

There was definitely more potential Drarry content in the books than Dramione (that’s mostly because Harry’s the main character and they had more interactions, but still), but that doesn’t automatically mean one ship is healthy and the other isn’t. For the past 6 books, Draco literally did not treat Harry or Hermione with ANYTHING other than disrespect and pure loathing. Drarry and Dramione are both toxic, and just because there’s less overall content of one ship does not mean it’s more toxic than the other ship [on the contrary, you could quite literally argue that it’s milder than Drarry, because at least Draco never beat Hermione up and tried to cast an Unforgivable curse on her?? He threw slurs at her and made horrible threats—that’s a fact—but that’s almost nothing compared to what he and Harry have done to each other. Less content of Draco and Hermione does technically mean less content of Draco being an awful person, meaning there were way more instances of him being awful towards Harry].

Again, because I’m certain that after all this some of you will still find ways to misconstrue my point, Drarry and Dramione are BOTH toxic, so you definitely cannot act all high and mighty and attack Dramione shippers simply because they ship another toxic ship that you don’t like. [Actually, you don’t have the right to act superior to any shippers of any kind, let people ship what they want, but it’s even worse when the ship you claim is better because it’s “healthier” is just as toxic (if not more so).] You don’t know how many shippers I’ve seen say something along the lines of “I’m all for respecting opinions/ships EXCEPT that one ship I dislike bc all its shippers are awful people and deserve harassment.” Shipping Drarry is fine, shipping Dramione is fine, but if you genuinely believe these ships are healthy in canon (as opposed to perhaps having potential), then you are very much delusional.

One last VERY petty point: Harry and Draco are related by a common ancestor, it goes all the way back to Dorea Black who married Charlus Potter who’s either the brother or cousin of Fleamont Potter (aka Harry’s grandfather), meaning Draco and Harry are distantly related, SO HAHA TAKE THAT DRARRY SHIPPERS HERMIONE WAS A MUGGLEBORN SO SHE CAN’T BE RELATED TO DRACO AT LEAST DRAMIONE SHIPPERS DON’T SHIP INCEST- /j

Disclaimer:

It’s perfectly fine for you to ship one toxic ship and not ship another toxic ship. That’s your personal preference and you might have your own reasons, but it is NOT okay for you to act like your toxic ship is canonically healthy, then think it justifies harassing other people who ship another toxic ship, and believe that you’re better than them merely for that reason.

When people hate on Dramione and its shippers for being toxic while they ship Drarry:

ok im about to rant hard so brace yourselves

i feel richie’s pain SO HARD. 01x06 was so hard for me to watch, i almost couldn’t finish it.

it was so uncomfortable for me to watch patrick fiddle with his escapulario and agustín (who i was never a big fan of) teasing him for it. when richie explained what it was in spanish and agustín kept answering in english even though he KNEW what richie was saying??? it’s happened to me to speak to someone in their mother tongue only to be answered in english and it’s incredibly disrespectful and diminishing. and then agustín telling patrick to stop giving richie false hopes by calling him his boyfriend (when it was patrick who even started calling him that!!!! hated him for a second for not standing up and saying it). richie’s reaction was totally justified and i really wanted to punch something when agustín started speaking spanish to him like boy!!!!!! go choke on something literally. ‘oh i’m your hermano now?’ YOU TELL HIM RICHIE!!!!

and that thing with kevin ???? ‘he’s gonna get his own place soon’ like i GET it you wanna impress your boss and his bear bf but like... don’t act like your boyfriend’s job (who is literally standing next to you) is only justified if it’s a stepping stone to an actually “dignified” job??????? god i was LIVID  

patrick not even apologizing for what was obviously a very uncomfortable afternoon for richie got me madddddd. richie is such a sweetheart and patrick pulling that ‘come with me to my sister’s wedding’ annoyed the hell out of me. richie doesn’t need you showing him off, he needs to know you actually respect him!!!!! i really expected an actual apology from patrick and not him pulling that card to get out of the situation instead of just asking richie what he feels and what he needs!!!!!!!
