Black tank tops, the reason we died. H thirst trapped, his husband replied. Fans feral and jarred By arms sculpted and scarred ... The Larents said, “Bitches, it’s Pride.”

A Paris Christmas Waltz

[starswallowingsea]

okay enstars instruments headcanons (this is not all of the characters just ones i felt like doing)

eichi: plays low-effort percussion. tried flute once and could not keep up with it. unfortunate truly. plays a mean xylophone on his good days though.

wataru: probably has basic knowledge in like. every instrument but specializes in flute because he can mimic his pigeons with it. bonus points that eichi loves it.

tori: wants so so bad to play flute but got stuck with the clarinet

yuzuru: learned clarinet so he could help tori, but i think it would be fun if he also did jazz clarinet in his spare time

subaru: this boy plays trumpet and is so annoying about it gdbless

mao: he's in bband right he plays guitar? probably also learned piano or something at some point but its very rusty

makoto: this guy really goes ham on the keyboard BUT cannot for the life of him play a normal piano

chiaki: touched a guitar once and the string broke and he has never been the same since

kanata: plays exclusively smooth jazz on a soprano sax

hiiro: one man band type of guy. little bit of everything going on there

aira: got jealous of hiiro being able to play instruments really well so soon after picking them up so he was determined to get better than him in one specific instrument and it was absolutely not one that he could handle (tuba/baritone) (hiiro has to help him with the sousaphone once and aira decides to just stick with baritone)

hiyori: flute and is one of those people who can beat-box with it

jun: puts up with hiyori's flute beat-boxing

shu: violin + viola and will get angry at you if you dont know the difference

mika: picked up violin because of shu but has a completely different style to him. also can fiddle like nobody's business

rinne: trumpet, sax, trombone, anything jazzy. probably recorded some of their backing tracks himself in their early days

himeru: classically trained on piano but never shows it off until rinne begs him to one day bc he overheard meru tapping away when he thought nobody was around

kaoru: was not playing that guitar in sustain memories we know this. koga does not let him near his guitars ever at all the one in sustain memories was on loan and at least two strings snapped on him. would love to have him learn like clarinet or something and incorporate that into their music because i think it would be neat

mitsuru: any wind instrument that lets him do those long runs of sixteenth notes. never gets his fingers tangled while doing them

keito: probably learned shamisen at some point but its like his temple duties and got put on the back burner

kuro: tenor saxophone

leo: also dabbles in a little of everything but is best on piano

izumi: flute or clarinet, but not both. flute because it matches the ethereal aesthetic and clarinet because it has a fuller sound

sora: he's the conductor of the es orchestra actually

I sorted this from newest to oldest. All of the songs with a 3/4 time signature I could find that I liked. Sorted by release, newest to oldest.

The most enchanting time signature imo.

OTD in Music History: French composer Maurice Ravel (1875 - 1937) watches as Russian dancer Ida Rubinstein (1883 - 1960) performs an interpretive dance choreographed by Bronislava Nijinska (1891 - 1972) at the Paris Opera, accompanied by the world premiere of his own latest orchestral composition: "Bolero" (1928). "Bolero" was one of the last pieces that Ravel completed before a mysterious brain illness robbed him of his ability to compose -- and, much to his chagrin, it became his defining hit in the public consciousness. When she commissioned the piece, Rubinstein requested something with a "Spanish character." She had initially suggested that he orchestrate some selections from Isaac Albeniz's (1860 - 1909) "Iberia" suite, but after giving the matter some thought, Ravel instead decided to write an original work which he entitled "Bolero" (although some have observed that the rhythms he deployed are actually much more in keeping with the fandango or the seguidilla). "Bolero" is a set of 18 variations on a simple two-part theme—or, perhaps more accurately, it is a set of 18 different *orchestrations* of that theme, since the theme itself is almost entirely static, and does not change until the final few bars of the piece. Rubinstein's dance -- which is almost never performed today -- is that of a sultry cafe entertainer enticing her audience, whose growing excitement is supposed to be reflected in the work’s signature endlessly rising crescendo. Ravel himself stated that "Bolero" has "no form, no development, [and] no or almost no modulation," and he cautioned that "it constitutes an experiment in a very special and limited direction, and it should not be suspected of aiming at achieving anything different from, or anything more than, it actually does achieve..." PICTURED: A real photo postcard showing the middle-aged Ravel, which he signed and dated just a few years before "Bolero's" premiere.

Affection Headcanons with Hook, Frollo, and Jafar.

Captain Hook

* This sweet gentleman just wants love. He adores cuddles, small pecks on the cheek, and pet names. Oh dear lord this man with pet names!

* Hook would write you a song on the piano and then play it for you for you. He still doesn’t think that’s enough even though you’ve told him otherwise.

* You’re the only one besides Smee who can calm him down. He will be yelling going insane over Peter Pan then you’ll walk over with your calming voice and drag him to his cabin. (Man lives of anger cuddling) He’ll rant to you for hours like this and all you have to do is sit there in his arms and give him little lovings.

* He calls you Honey, Darling, his pearl, his treasure, his beloved, and his diamond.

* Kisses with him in public are short and sweet. You can tell he loves you so much even with with a peck.

Frollo

* Frollo is not a very affectionate man. He has his moments (Mostly in private) but is not very affectionate. He's all right with hand-holding in public. However, behind closed doors, Frollo actually enjoys a good kiss or cuddle. In public best, you're getting is a peck on the cheek and a short hug.

* This man is actually terrific at gift-giving. I say this because it appears that he has quite a bit of extra money (He literally lives in the Palace of Justice). He also seems like a good listener so if you mention something he could get you? Consider it yours.

* When I tell you this man seeks you out when he’s angry. He burns down Paris to find you. He gets ANGRY. (You’re a little scared of him when he’s like this) He is still gentle with you just be sure you can handle yelling.

* Frollo calls you dear, darling, Mon cher, Mon chéri, chère.

* Kisses with him in public are rare but they happen. But those kisses are very short and not much romance in them.

Jafar

* Jafar is very verbally affectionate. He (and Iago too) aren’t the biggest fans of having you just waltz up and hug him. But he is very shameless and flirty. He will drop so many innuendos over the Sultan's head. (Smug dickbag)

* You expect me to say this man ISN’T a good gift giver?! He’s rich and has ears everywhere. If he doesn’t know he won’t sleep until he’s sure he has a gift you’d like.

* When this man gets angry he doesn’t seek you immediately. Now if he’s been tested long enough and thinks there’s no other option he’ll get Iago to grab you for him. Once again Angry Cuddles ™. You can’t escape either. If you try he’ll start going into snake form. He’ll let you go when he’s good and ready!

* Jafar calls you my dear, my darling, little one, love, and my love

*Kisses with him are very frequent. He doesn’t give a shit about PDA. He’s shameless. He also likes proving his claim on you which he can do with kisses.
