Obscure design details for the Solfege and the Ragdolls?

(I think I know who your favourites might be djkjds)

I'll start with the Ragdolls as they're relatively quick, especially compared to the Solfege. Although their designs are simple, they each have designs features that relate to either their personality or location; Satin's dress is neat and frilly as she lives in a dressmaker's desk. Quilt helps tend to the royal gardens and has a flower attached to her head. Denim wears a little bowtie, representing their high-class attitude and love of parties. Ripstop is a rough and tumble adventurer, so has a zipper along his chest to store useful tools or things he finds.

The Solfege are under the cut as there's a fair bit of rambling for them👀

Each Aspect of the Solfege has an epithet, and a large portion of their design is based around this epithet, along with their personality.

Do - The Flame. Her hair is half-shaved and spiky, to look like (very) stylised fire. The ragged hem of her skirt is styled in a similar way. Her outfit is made up of mismatched pieces, representing her uncertainty as de facto leader and lack of secure identity.

Re - The Sword. His bangs are styled to resemble the crossguard of his sword form, and the pattern of his jumpsuit is loosely based on his sword form, with the arms and upper torso representing the cross guard, and his legs and abdomen the blade (the jewel on his chest becomes the jewel on his pommel). His clothes are the most covering, fitting for the most reserved Aspect. He does feel his only identity is being that sword, after all.

Mi - The Knight. Dressed in the traditional knight aesthetic, although their arms and feet are bare as they technically don't need the armour, it's mostly for show. Their left arm guard doubles as a shield, with lots of spiky parts on their armour to invoke their dangerous side.

Fa - The Wild. She resembles a satyr (albeit with deer legs rather than those of a goat), both to bring animals and nature to mind, and to help her stand out amongst her fellow Aspects as the hermit of the group, rarely seen in civilisation. The hem of her top is slightly ragged, to emphasise her rough and wild nature, although her clothing is still clean, indicating some time spent in the company of others.

So - The Shield. As the most gentle and peaceful of the Aspects, she is a very soft shade of blue, with a long, flowing dress. Although it appears quite modest her arms are still exposed, to show despite her reserved demeanour she is still open and honest with her loved ones. Her hair frames her face, covering her forehead and cheeks as if shielding them, like her protective barriers.

La - The Scourge. A fierce fighter, his sharp horns are an immediate indicator for his threatening demeanour. He goes shirtless as he is confident and proud in his strength and abilities. His earrings, necklace and the cuffs around his ankles resemble those worn by local monks, as they have inspired his efforts to attain an inner peace.

Ti - The Orphic. As the most attention-seeking and (as far as he's concerned) beautiful Aspect, he has the longest and biggest hair of the group. The shortest Aspect, he stands on his tiptoes most of the time to try and appear taller.

Many of their design traits can be seen in their original combined form, Solfège proper. Predominantly monochromatic as they contain all colours, with eyes, earrings and an emblem in the seven colours of the Aspects. Solfège has long, flowing hair like Ti and Fa, with the legs of the latter, the horns of La, an X-shaped strap across their torso with a gemstone in the centre, similar to Re's jumpsuit, a flowing cloak like So's dress (but with a ragged hem like Do and Fa's clothes), and overlapping shoulderpads reminiscent of Do's overlapping top, and they carry a large arm shield like Mi. The similarities are loose, as it's a single being split into seven who each represent one small part, but you can see traits of each Aspect within Solfège.

finally watching WAD, and i wonder if dan did vocal coaching for that opening number. my theatre kid ass must know.

I don't have much to add to the speculation around the wallpaper images we 'win' for solving the riddle on the Gravity Falls website, but I am curious why Bill's Ace of Spades card has sixteenth notes. This is the second very specific musical reference that's been made in the new material (the first being the octatonic scale in the "Human Body" section) and while it's likely it's a stylistic choice, it's also driving me insane.

Faaaa mi sol mi fa 🎼 Can you guess the song? 🎶 🤔

[bmpmp3]

Revived more OCs! Meet the Solfege, a group of spirits who act as the guardians of an ancient kingdom.

Do - Possesses pyrokinesis, which she uses both to fend off enemies and provide warmth to her kingdom's citizens. She's the de facto leader of the group, and although she can be very energetic and enthusiastic, she's also level-headed and logical

Re - A pessimistic spirit with the ability to transform into an unbreakable sword. Although he's proved his worth many times, he's a little envious of the others as he believes they don't require assistance to use their talents

Mi - The kingdom's most skilled swordsman. He's very devoted to his duty, but also extremely optimistic and cheerful when not at work. The wielder of Re's sword form, he regularly tries to boost his companion's mood

Fa - She cares for the kingdom's forests and animals rather than the human civilizations, ensuring the balance between the two remains intact. Curious by nature, she loves watching new life bloom in the wilderness

So - A spirit who can manifest forcefields, she uses them to protect herself as much as others. Although anxious and easily worried, she's always the first to step in and protect those in need

La - A serious and dedicated physical fighter. He is very controlled and composed off the battlefield, but in the midst of a fight he can wreak terrible destruction

Ti - Able to influence the mood of others by playing his lyre. He can be vain, arrogant and immature, but nevertheless still performs his duty (when in a good mood). He typically uses his talents to bring peace to those who are dying or to dispel arguments

Love Solfege/Schwarzwald/Black Forest

la…aaa （いつか）あふれる

(One day) Overflowing （私の）想いを

(those are my) feelings （あなたに）伝えて時の涙よ

(for you) In the moment I convey them, I am overcame by tears 窓の外には雨音が　音も無くただ続いている

Ouside of the window I hear the sound of the rain going on, creating an unstoppable silence ああ息も重たくて

Ahh... my breath feels so heavy 町の光な遠すぎて　この部屋にまで届かない

The lights of the town are too far away, they cannot reach this room ひとりきりでここに

I remain all alone in this place まどろむ私待ちつづけ　無限の時間漂うの

But I continue to wait as I slumber, drifting through eternity

ああ静かなる窓辺

Ahh, near the closed window いつか叶うと描き留めた　明日の景色を眺めても

Even as I gaze upon a scenery of tomorow, hoping someday it would be granted 降り続く涙

Tears continue to fall

その出会いは一度　一度だけの言葉

Only one meeting, only one conversation ただそれだけなのに　深く分かりあえた

That is all that we had, yet we understood each other deeply あなたの悲しみを cry　深く包み込んで deep

I wanted to cry at your grief, to embrace you in a deep embrace 救い出したかった ah…　聖母［マリア］の微笑で

I wanted to save you Ah...Grace you with the Smile of a Saint (Maria) あなたを

Letting its wet wings 濡れた羽休め　たたずむ白い鳥

rest on you, the white bird

美しく気高く　空へ上がる

Arose in the sky with beauty and elegance 夢と溶け込む雨音に　消えたあなたは戻らない

In my dream blending with the sound of rain, you vanished and never returned 瞳の奥の愛しさに　揺れる木々の葉写らない

Your eyes full of tenderness didn't reflect the swaying woods

Ah 変えられなかった My destiny

Ah, my destiny cannot be changed

Who…言葉より早く　私の想い見つけ出して！ 鉛の空と黒い森　闇と時間を支配する 閉じたシステム壊れても　回り続けるゆりかごで

Who... could find my feelings when they are too fast to be expressed through words ?!

Lead by the sky in the dark forest, time and darkness achive to dominate me

My enclosed system finally breaks, the craddle still spins nonethless

Ah…願いをつむぐ your destiny

Ah... your destiny weaves a wish

Who…いつの日にか一つに…

Who...could one day make us become one ?

その出会いは一度　一度だけの言葉

Only one meeting, only one conversation ただそれだけなのに　深く分かりあえた

That is all that we had, yet we understood each other deeply あなたの悲しみを cry　深く包み込んで deep

I wanted to cry at your grief, to embrace you in a deep embrace 救い出したかった ah…　聖母［マリア］の微笑で

I wanted to save you Ah...Grace you with the Smile of a Saint (Maria)

あなたを…

You go 宇宙［そら］を駆け巡り　翔く翼より

To greet the cosmos (sky ) as your wings soar away

永久［とわ］に響く　願いの羽が舞う

The eternal echo of the wishful wings dances 雷瞬き命が轟く

The thunder flashes, life roars

持って生まれた定めを行くなら

If I follow the destiny I was born with

この身尽きてもかまわない

I don't care if my body is worn out

願いは生まれ変わ��行く

My wish can be reborn あなたの記憶まではah…奪えない

Until then, my memories of you ah... no once can steal them from me 夢と溶け込む雨音に　消えたあなたは戻らない

In my dream blending with the sound of rain, you vanished and never returned 瞳の奥の愛しさに　揺れる木々の葉写らない

Your eyes full of tenderness didn't reflect the swaying woods

Ah 変えられなかった My destiny

Ah, my destiny cannot be changed

Lead by the sky in the dark forest, time and darkness achive to dominate me

My enclosed system finally breaks, the craddle still spins nonethless

Ah…願いをつむぐ your destiny Who…いつの日にか一つに…ah…

Ah... your destiny weaves a wish

Who…いつの日にか一つに…

Who...could one day make us become one ?

La...aaa

(Un jour viendra) où ces sentiments

(mes sentiments) qui débordent

(Mes sentiments pour toi) Au moment où je les confesse, les larmes me gagnent

Dehors, par-delà la fenêtre, le son interrompue de le pluie crée un silence sans fin

Ahh... mon souffle semble si lourd

Les lumières de la ville sont bien trop loin pour atteindre ma petite chambre

Je demeure seule en ce lieu

Mais j'attends toujours et je m'assoupis, flottant vers l'infini

Ahhh...près de la fenêtre fermée

Et quand je regarde la scène d'un avenir lointain que j'esquissai, espérant qu'un jour, elle se produira

Les larmes s'échappent de mes yeux

Rien qu'une seule rencontre, rien qu'une conversation

C'est tout ce qu'il y a entre nous, pourtant nous nous comprenons si bien

Je voulais pleurer avec toi devant ta douleur, t'enlacer dans une profonde étreinte

Je voulais te sauver, Ah...t'offrir un sourire telle une Sainte (Maria)

Auprès de toi

Un oiseau blanc vient se poser pour laisser reposer ses ailes trempées

Puis il retourne vers le ciel, avec grâce et beauté

Dans mon songe qui se mêle a au bruit de la pluie, tu disparaissait et ne revenait jamais

Mais tes yeux plein de tendresse ne reflétaient pas les bois tremblant

Ah, personne ne pourra changer ma destinée

Qui pourrait comprendre mes sentiments quand ils sont trop rapides pour être saisi par les mots ?!

Conduit dans la forêt noire par le vaste ciel, le temps et les ténèbres achèvent de me dominer

Mon système verrouiller fini par se briser, mais le berceau se balance comme si de rien n'était

Ah... ta destiné forme un souhait

Qui... pourrait faire qu'un jour nous soyons unis ?

Rien qu'une seule rencontre, rien qu'une conversation

C'est tout ce qu'il y a entre nous, pourtant nous nous comprenons si bien

Je voulais pleurer avec toi devant ta douleur, t'enlacer dans une profonde étreinte

Je voulais te sauver, Ah...t'offrir un sourire telle une Sainte (Maria)

Mais tu t'en vas

A la rencontre des cieux, déployant tes ailes

Et un écho éternel s'échappe des ailes dansantes de mon souhait

L'orage laisse tomber sa foudre, la vie rugit tel le tonnerre

Si je poursuit la destinée avec laquelle je suis née

Peu m'importe que mon corps s'abîme

Mon souhait pourra toujours renaître

Mais pour l'instant rien ne pourra, ah... dérober les souvenirs que j'ai de toi

Dans mon songe qui se mêle a au bruit de la pluie, tu disparaissait et ne revenait jamais

Mais tes yeux plein de tendresse ne reflétaient pas les bois tremblant

Ah, personne ne pourra changer ma destinée

Qui pourrait comprendre mes sentiments quand ils sont trop rapides pour être saisi par les mots ?!

Conduit dans la forêt noire par le vaste ciel, le temps et les ténèbres achèvent de me dominer

Mon système verrouiller fini par se briser, mais le berceau se balance comme si de rien n'était

Ah... ta destiné forme un souhait

Qui... pourrait faire qu'un jour nous soyons unis ?

hey im out in the taggings booping everyone i see and id love a pun if youre still doing them

thorny you've been doing god's work o7 everyone else should take note

sol sorry this re-sponse is so late, i ac-cadence-tally (accidentally) forgot to check tumblr after a class i had on monday, on tuesday the humor committee of my brain was short-staffed, and really i've just been lacking the time re-choir-ed (required) to make this post.

april fools on tumblr this year was la-ts of fun! the scale of the booping chaos honestly surprised me! it was highly amus(ic)ing, of chorus (course)—it made me tre(m)ble with laughter! seeing that the boops were gone the day after clef-t me feeling pretty meh-zzo, though. I guess it was only natural to time the boops in ac-chord-ance with april fools day—I mean, the action certainly wasn't bass-less—but I'm sure it still left us all(to) feeling a bit flat.

Still, I want to end this ask on a high note! So(prano) I just wanna thank you for this ask—it high-key brought my mood up a step!

This is blowing my mind! this baby is 1-year old and is learning triads. Most babies would just start smacking the keys, but you can actually see his little brain working out what his sister is teaching him.

Name: Ti Age: 100 Gender: Genderless Pronouns: He/Him Species: Aspect Place of Origin: Rhyneris, Arcadia

The vainest and most self-centred Aspect. A powerful musician, able to influence others' emotions with his music. Often unpopular amongst the other Aspects due to his abrasive personality, he is ironically skilled at dispelling arguments. Although it can be difficult to persuade him to help others, especially if it does not benefit him, he is willing to help soothe those who are dying. Due to this he is known as "The Orphic".

Running the Gamut - a musical etymology

In the 11th century, Christian monks were facing an interesting problem. Their repertoire of chants, which was passed down orally, was constantly growing. It grew so large, in fact, that it would have taken about 10 years to learn. To top it off, all of the liturgy needed to be kept consistent between churches and orders. Forgetting (or even just misremembering) a song could have meant it would…
