A fancy boyo

[Image ID: A drawing of Hunter from The Owl House. He stands, smiling, with one foot crossed behind the other, and he holds Waffles in staff form.

He wears a maroon collared shirt, with brown and gold Victorian suspenders. There is a similarly colored brown witch hat on his head, with maroon lining and a maroon ribbon wrapped around the base of the hat’s crown. Two feathers are tucked into the ribbon, one red and one blue. He has checkered brown pants and a pair of greyish-brown boots.

The background of the image is pale purple, with a few maroon feathers floating in the air around Hunter. The second two images are closeups of Hunter and Waffles. End ID]

I talk about it a lot on twitter but not so much here but!!! My Favorite Video Game Of All Time is Outer Wilds and it was recently released on the switch!!! It’s a pretty affordable game all things considered and it literally changed my brain chemistry forever.

It’s a game that’s best played blind and I recommend it to literally everyone!

If you do play it, feel free to hop into my asks and let me know!! I LOVE to hear people’s thoughts on it. Also, if you get stuck feel free to send me a message! There are moments where it happens and I’d rather someone come to me instead of potentially getting spoiled.

Whoever is in charge of the trailers for the summer I turned pretty is a genius bc we already have strong emotional attachments to these Taylor songs and by putting them in the trailers we are projecting those attachments onto the characters and are more likely to watch

S2 of Arcane drops the ball when it comes to it's use of music because it overly uses music videos to show whats going on. Why do we only see the chem baron's gang wars in a music video? Why is Caitlyn gassing and raiding people only a music video? Why in the world is the Jinxers protest only a music video??? Imagine how bad it would have been if in s1 the scene where Vi and Jinx fight the firelights had been a music video. These are scenes that should have been focused on and not obfuscated by Riots need for an Arcane album. Riot got praised for Arcane's S1 soundtrack and immediately lost the plot. It often (there are a few exceptions) didn't feel like the music added to the emotions in the story it felt like when you're watching a movie and they leave every label facing out.

I've probably talked about this before but Kazuma's themes fucking kill me.

Samurai On A Mission and Kazuma Asogi: Nocturne are both in a major key. Samurai on a Mission feels happy. It makes you excited. Nocturne's slower, and it's more bittersweet. But it still fills you with optimism. It still feels good to listen to. It gives you the feeling that even if Kazuma's gone, this isn't the end. There's still stuff Ryunosuke needs to do in Kazuma's place.

Compare them to His Glorious Return and A Prosecutor, Reborn, and it's the complete opposite. The opening to His Glorious Return feels just slightly off. Like I don't think it's in a different key than Samurai on a Mission, but it's different enough to just feel off. I think it might be the instruments honestly. His Glorious Return is closer to Nocturne than Samurai on a Mission (obviously it's the same motif but His Glorious Return is closer to Nocturne than Samurai on a Mission because it's slower).

And THEN you get to A Prosecutor, Reborn. How fucking dare they. At this point in the game, not just is Kazuma prosecuting Barok, but his motive is made clear to be revenge (iirc). A Prosecutor, Reborn is basically just Samurai on a Mission with different instruments and in a minor key. A Prosecutor, Reborn specifically has fairly prominent harpsichord in it. The same also applies to Barok's theme. You get the vibe that something is seriously wrong here.

You can literally understand Kazuma's arc before The Resolve of Ryunosuke Naruhodo from his themes alone. That's. impressive. Like just to be clear this isn't the first nor the only time Ace Attorney does this. It was also done with Eustace's themes, Winning Deductions and Winning Independence. But it's so impressive that they gave Kazuma four unique sounding themes using the same motif and made it easy to tell how his story goes just in music. Like just listening to his themes, it goes happiness and positivity > oh actually this is kind of bittersweet. there's still work to be done so we must go on > triumph but also a little bit of "something's off here" > wow what the fuck happened here

It's so impressive to me?? But also the fact that Kazuma has four unique sounding themes that use the same motif is incredibly impressive. All four are basically the same song but different depending on the vibe needed for the part of the game they're featured in. Doing that with anything is hard.

A similar thing is done with the Dance of Deduction tracks. Partners ~ The Game Is Afoot! feels more complete than the initial Joint Reasoning tracks. Listening to the initial Joint Reasoning tracks and then listening to Partners ~ The Game Is Afoot! makes it incredibly obvious to me. In this case, it goes from "this is fun and upbeat!" during Joint Reasoning [TYPE A], then goes to "we're getting a little more intense" during Joint Reasoning [TYPE B], then to "oh now we're getting INTENSE" during Joint Reasoning [TYPE C], then to "shit just got REALLY serious" with Partners ~ The Game Is Afoot! Even the backstage tracks (the ones that play when you either fill in the blanks or correct one of Sholmes's deductions) are like this. It feels more intense and high energy during Sholmes and Mikotoba's Dance of Deduction.

Anyway my point is TGAA is genuinely the best video game soundtrack ever in my opinion and even tops most movie soundtracks for me. I'm almost completely convinced this is because they made the soundtrack sound like music you'd get in Victorian England. I don't think the soundtrack would be nearly as good without the Victorian sound. Anyway back to drawing I go

What’s your favorite musical? Well the acceptable answer is Legally Blonde, Wicked, or Anastasia. But in the back of my mind the real answer is off book episode 281: Movie Night

[fanfiction-obsession]

Sometimes I’m in the corner of the gym with my Perry the Platypus socks and my Perry the Platypus tattoo and my Love Handel shirt listening to the Phineas and Ferb soundtrack and thinking that I’m nailing my role as the one-characteristic background NPC in somebody else’s video game.
