#watching the kolors be like

[evadingreallife]

[saints-helen]

So you guys know how I headcanon cross to have some form of psychosis/delusions?

.....

Yeah so that's fun!

:3

Anyway, a cutesy thing to feed the crepic machine.

:3

Enjoy!~

(inspired by that One Post by @howlsofbloodhounds on tiktok (idk if they posted it on Tumblr-) where kolor play this little "game" where color helps killer determine what's real and what isn't)

"He's watching us right now?" Cross murmurs into the dark, so sure he is of being answered, that he doesn't even look at the body resting against his shoulder to check if its awake.

"False." Comes the quiet response, so sure, yet so tired, as if answering the incessant Why? Why? Why? Questions of some- toddler.

Cross may as well be a toddler, with the stupid questions he keeps on asking.

"He's-" he takes a deep breath "he's listening, then." His voice is quiet, and so is Epic's

"False."

Again.

He takes another deep breath, shakier this time.

He always gets like this at night, all- all paranoid and anxious, like a nervous dog stuck in its crate, when all the sounds of the night get disturbing.

"....

"He's coming back."

"False."

Again, they play this stupid game, and again, Epic indulges him, spoils him, would indulge him in eating leaf gold and caviar every day if he asked, and Cross, selfish, selfish disgustingly paranoid Cross, keeps asking.

"....

"Is he here?"

"Nope. False, not here."

A longer answer this time, he lets out a breath.

He doesn't get those too often, not at this hour at least, when his heart is supposed to be winding down instead of winding up.

Winding up...

Is that a word?

*Was* that a word?

He finds he can't quite remember right now.

"Winding up is an actual term that people use."

A pause.

He's caught him off guard.

".... True?"

He sounds hesitant, he's hesitant, and that's never a good thing, because if Epic is hesitant about anything, at this time, even about something as innocuous as a term, then what can Cross trust right now to keep him from spiraling?

"True." It comes a bit more sure. Actually, Far more sure, firm, as if he were making sure of an equation in his head, and Cross had made him doubt himself.

Stupid, stupid Cross with his stupid, stupid delusions.

"It's a word." He says, seeming satisfied with himself, and with that satisfaction decides to Reward himself, pulling himself closer to Cross and nuzzling against his shoulder, letting out a breath that was so very content.

It's nice, he supposes, they both run a bit cold, but Cross a little warmer on good days, though Epic Does say if he eats more he'll run like a heater, which he supposes Does sound nice, especially when Epic is out and all he has for his company are just his clothes and a blanket.

...

Cross still doubts it though, it's physically impossible to run like a heater, at least for a skeleton monster.

...

He's thinking too literally, where was he again? Oh, right.

His stupid fucking paranoia.

"You love me." He asks, and Epic lets out an amused huff against him, pulling even closer.

"True. That's correct, my guy, it's the most right thing you've said all day." And before Cross can apologise for wasting his time, he continues:

"Although, i Do like hearing you talk.. so don't worry too much about it."

..Hm.

How can he always just..

...

"Can i-" he cuts off "if-" again, and Epic taps a soft, steady rhythm against his arm, the rhythm of a heartbeat, the rhythm of proper Breathing;

'calm down'

So he tries.

"If- if i were to-" fucking dammit, mouth doesn't work right and neither does his head, fucking Wonderful-

"Can-"

Just get it Out it's not the first damn time you asked you-

"He's not gonna- do anything? If i- if i- Stay, with you, he won't-" a pathetic pause "he's not going to- make me regret it."

He says, instead of the utterly childish "he's not gonna hurt me again is he?" That was Begging to push itself out of his mouth.

Epic seems to understand, however, as after a few seconds of thinking about his words, he answers.

"True," he says, "that's correct, he's not gonna do anything to you because of it, because he can't do anything to you anymore, because he's gone, because he's dead." He explains, word for word like he's teaching a kindergartener, about something as silly and easy to understand as how plants work.

First, they sprout from a seed, then, they spring up and up and up, then, they soak up the sun, then, they drink water from underground or- whatever, then, they absorb nutrients from the soil - and, of course, dear stupid fucking child, all these three steps happen at the same fucking Time you stupid fucking- and then, they grow leaves, and then, they grow flowers, and then, those flowers get pollinated, and then, those flowers make seeds, and then, the seeds get planted one way or another, and then, the cycle continues.

Step by step Epic explains his answers, and step by step patiently tells Cross what definitely counts as common sense to literally every other single person in the entire multiverse.

Because Cross has a fucked up head, and his fucked up head makes it so that he needs things explained to him slowly, and his fucked up head also makes it so that he needs reassurance about his stupid fucking- about his father potentially watching him and listening to him and planning to punish him in the middle of the night, because, of course, Cross's paranoia gets in the way of sleeping, because, of course, Cross gets in the way of sleeping.

"I'm going to be okay." He says, and gets a good answer.

"True. That's correct." And he can feel Epic smiling against him, so maybe everything isn't too bad.

also my mom came home in time to see me watching the kolors in the kitchen and shes like "those are the guys ?.... for being called the kolors they. sure don't."

Tagged by @verecunda. Thank you :)

Last song: I’ve been listening to Ruoska and Everybody’s Waiting every day so it should be one of those, but in fact the very last song I listened to was Un ragazzo una ragazza by The Kolors. It’s just such a bop and very fun to sing along to.

Currently watching: The Apprentice. Honestly TV hasn’t been great lately so…

Currently reading: The Wager by David Grann. It was recommended to me and seemed like something I’d like, and while the first part goes a bit slowly, it’s a fantastic ride once it gets going. I hope it’ll be adapted into a TV series at some point because I think it’ll really work.

Favourites: Listening to music I like repeatedly, writing stories, watching other story ideas play like a movie in my head, my favourite channels on YouTube, talking to my friends, sleeping.

I'm not going to tag many people, just @occhi-verdi-come-il-mare and @ana-chronista

[batri-jopa]

Since tagged independently by @chrisoels and @notasapleasure I can't delay it any longer:

Tag nine (9) people you'd like to know better!

Last song: Nadzieja ma kolor zielony [Hope's colour is green] by Gawęda

Currently watching: this and that, nothing in particular... If anything it's usually one of my favorite YouTube series (either Koszmarne Horrory or Cinema Therapy). Yesterday I watched the latest Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 🥰

Currently listening: Opowiem ci o lwie [I'll tell you about a lion] by Gawęda (those are children's songs from 1970's)

Currently reading: just finished Droga na wschód [Journey to the east] by Piotr Kulczyna (relation of father and son travelling together through Syberia, Mongolia and Caucasus. Chapter about Georgia was disappointingly short😑 But the sense of adventure was great anyway)

Currently obsession: nah, no obsession this time! trying to gather all those fucking lyrics and Google-Translate them knowing right from the start it will be sooo fucked up🤦 but somebody have to do it... for nobody's else satisfaction but my own... Yep, this sounds like obsession alright

As every year tonight on Italian TV you can watch big concerts/tv shows among movies and animations. The main two ones are the one on RAIUNO (you need an Italian vpn to watch) hosted by Amadeus live from Crotone and the one on Canale 5 (you may need Italian vpn + free log in also via facebook) hosted by Federica Panicucci live from Genova. Both will start after the Annual Message of our Presidente della Repubblica Sergio Mattarella (broadcasted from 8:30PM GMT+1 on all the TVs).

On Raiuno at 9:00 PM GMT+1* you'll see Annalisa, Paola e Chiara, i Ricchi e Poveri, Il Volo, Sangiovanni, Nino Frassica (comedian), The Kolors, Cristiano Malgioglio, Dargen D’Amico, gli Autogol (hosts/comedians), Maninni but also many others that are not spoiled yet by Amadeus.

On Canale 5 at 9:00 PM GMT+1* you'll see Albano, Orietta Berti, Articolo 31, Rocco Hunt, Iva Zanicchi, Fausto Leali, Michele Bravi, Mietta, Luigi Strangis, Matteo Romano, Gemelli Diversi, Ivana Spagna, Gaia, Sophie and The Giants, Enrico Nigiotti, Big Boy, Paolo Meneguzzi, Leo Gassman, Berna, Federica, Wax, the whole Amici's school. There will be also exhibitions live from Bari where Ermal Meta, Coez and Frah Quintale will sing tonight.

*Beware our Presidente may not take all the 30 mins so concerts may start earlier.

Have a lovely night!

(Reminder that on RAIDUE you'll be able to watch the old Disney animation "One Hundred and One Dalmatians" from 9:20 PM GMT +1 js if u feel like ;) )

[the-evil-pizza]

comunque, the kolors this year went like "How do we make sure the homosexuals watching this are 100 percent sure we are heterosexuals guys who love women and only women" and came up with their song and those covers

[eurovision-del]

Sanremo comes to an end tonight. I’ll confess, I haven’t been watching each night, but I have taken the time to check out all the competing songs, and here’s my ranking:

Mahmood – Tuta gold

Ricchi e Poveri – Ma non tutta la vita

Alfa – Vai!

La Sad – Autodistruttivo

Clara – Diamanti grezzi

Dargen D’Amico – Onda alta

Il Tre – Fragili

Annalisa – Sinceramente

Loredana Bertè – Pazza

BigMama – La rabbia non ti basta

Irama – Tu no

Sangiovanni – Finiscimi

The Kolors – Un ragazzo, una ragazza

Emma – Apnea

Fiorella Mannoia – Mariposa

Geolier – I’ p’ me, tu p’ te

Angelina Mango – La noia

Fred De Palma – Il cielo non ci vuole

Renga & Nek – Pazzo di te

Ghali – Casa mia

Maninni – Spettacolare

Diodato – Ti muovi

Mr. Rain – Due altalene

Bnkr44 – Governo punk

Il Volo – Capolavoro

Alessandra Amoroso – Fino a qui

Santi Francesi – L’amore in bocca

Rose Villain – Click Boom!

Gazzelle – Tutto qui

Negramaro – Ricominciamo tutto

Firstly, Mahmood was far and away my clear standout with Tuta gold. There’s something so effortlessly catchy about Mahmood’s style, and his distinct voice and charisma as a performer really set him apart for me. I like how it uses the little phone tone sound in the chorus as a hook and also to tie into the lyrics of the song. In fact, the song as a whole is really well produced, and I honestly want to listen to it over and over.

That said, there are still plenty of other great entries here. I found Ricchi e Poveri’s performance very memorable with them wrapped in the giant bow at the start, and the track itself is fun and exciting, and really benefits from the Sanremo orchestra, with all those violins going at the start. Vai! was another song I distinctly remembered after just one listen, with that little whoo-hoo and accompanying whistle making for a very catchy hook. I really enjoy the energy of the song and how uplifting it sounds. Autodistruttivo is a solid rock song, the ‘oh-ooh-oh’s might be a little generic but the overall punchy sound of the song is great, and I like La Sad’s distinctive look. I also really like Diamanti grezzi, it’s another song I think is really well produced, I especially like how the beat sounds in the pre-chorus.

If Mahmood hadn’t already been to Eurovision twice in the last past five years, he’d definitely be my pick to go. In fact, I like Tuta gold enough that I probably would be excited to see him in this year’s Eurovision too, but I’d also be very happy to see Italy send someone else for a change. As usual they’ve got plenty of options – I tended to prefer the upbeat, energetic songs over the ballads this year, but Italy will likely do well with just about any of these songs just thinking about Eurovision. Unfortunately I’m not going to be able to stay up tonight to find out the winner, but I am excited to find out tomorrow who they’re going to send!

If it feels like this is a fuckton of names it's because they are :"

Anyway Carlo Conti's line-up looks like quite a decent follow up to Amadeus's style so not many who watch Sanremo are actively complaining

He's also tweaking the rules a bit The cover night ranking won't be considered valid for the actual competition anymore and goddamn FINALLY at that The other big change is that when the final 5 songs will compete against each other their votes won't get a reset, so the scores of the whole week will just be added to the final voting…I'm still debating if this is good. Apparently this nerfs the juries by a lot and I have only one criteria in this: would Geolier have won with this rule? If yes, this sucks big time.

This year there doesn't seem to be be a clear catalyzer like him though, or like Angelina for that matter This may be for the good, it will be a much more open race Personally I don't have anyone I'm immediately drawn to like Angelna last year, I just hope Conti also kept the level of the songs on par with Ama's Sanremos

Witajcie

Dziś na rozpoczęcie września, postanowiłam dać nowa postać OC z tematyki LEGO Monkie Kid, powiem wam iż w moim kraju, udało mi się obejrzeć tylko 3 sezony, ponieważ 4 i 5 seria nie wiedzieć czemu, jest niedostępna, no i musiałam zadowolić się angielska wersją, ale przynajmniej wiem mniej więcej jaka jest dalsza fabuła serialu, mam jednak nadzieję, że może jeszcze kiedyś uda mi się obejrzeć jeden z moich ulubionych seriali, ale wracając... Moja postać OC ma na imię Sakura i jest dość nietypową małpką, umie ona zmieniać swoje emocje w czystą energię i posługiwać się nimi jak bronią, jej bazowym kolorem jest jasno różowy kolor, nazywany przez nią jako ''Kwiat japońskiej wiśni'', Sakura jest dość skryta i nieśmiała, przez ciągły strach który ją dusi, ciężko nawiązuje jakiekolwiek znajomości, ale gdy poznaje MK'a, Sun Wukong'a i pozostałą paczkę,zaczyna ona otwierać się na innych i zaczyna bardziej ufać innym ludziom i innym istotom.

Co sądzicie o Sakurze? Chętnie poznam wasze opinie w komentarzu.

Pozdrowienia dla wszystkich moich przyjaciół i znajomych.

Swoją postać OC stworzyłam za pomocą pewnej gry symulacyjnej, można na niej tworzyć dowolną postać niezależnie od universum, poniżej podaję link do gry, jest pewne ale... gra nie najlepiej działa na komputerze, najlepiej działa na telefonach, a oto i strona:

Monkie Kid OC Maker｜Picrew

Hello

Today at the beginning of September, I decided to give a new OC character from the LEGO Monkie Kid theme, I'll tell you that in my country, I only managed to watch 3 seasons, because the 4th and 5th series are unavailable for some reason, and I had to settle for the English version, but at least I know more or less what the further plot of the series is, I hope that maybe someday I will be able to watch one of my favorite series, but back... My OC character's name is Sakura and she is a rather unusual monkey, she can change her emotions into pure energy and use them like a weapon, her base color is light pink, which she calls "Japanese Cherry Blossom", Sakura is quite secretive and shy, because of the constant fear that suffocates her, it is difficult for her to make any friends, but when she meets MK, Sun Wukong and the rest of the gang, she begins to open up to others and begins to trust other people and other beings more.

What do you think about Sakura?

I would love to hear your opinions in the comments.

Greetings to all my friends and acquaintances.

I created my OC character using a certain simulation game, you can use it to create any character regardless of the universe, below is a link to the game, it's certain but... the game doesn't work best on computers, it works best on phones, and here's the website:

Review of Guitar Rig 7 Pro: Presets are Enough

Guitar Rig is likely one of the most famous amp simulator plugins in the market. Despite various brands like IK Multimedia, Positive Grid, Brainworx, Neural DSP releasing their own amp simulators, Guitar Rig, launched in 2004, has maintained high visibility in the guitar software market, updating to version 7 this year.

The Guitar Rig 7, released three years after version 6 in 2020, brings some notable updates. The Intelligent Circuit Modeling (ICM) technology, introduced in Guitar Rig 6, is expanded to include more amps. According to Native Instruments, ICM uses machine learning to precisely replicate the feel of hardware. Additionally, features added through a collaboration with iZotope catch attention. The 'Kolor' saturation plugin, adding color to the tone, includes two settings from iZotope's Trash. Moreover, the Maximizer module from Ozone is incorporated, providing effective control over guitar track volumes.

Guitar Rig has traditionally stuck to a rack-style interface design. However, version 7 introduces a sidebar on the right, allowing users to see the signal flow of connected modules at a glance. Users can drag and rearrange modules easily by looking at the sidebar.

Amp Modeling Quality in Guitar Rig 7 Pro

As of 2023, most amp simulators already deliver high-quality sound. However, Guitar Rig's amp modeling leans towards convenience rather than hyper-realism. This doesn't mean Guitar Rig sounds bad; it provides well-crafted and clean tones. Compared to products like Amplitube or Brainworx, Guitar Rig offers a smoother feel with less gritty texture. The noise gate effectively manages noise without compromising the overall tone.

If you're seeking ultra-realistic amp sounds or the raw feel of a tube amp, Guitar Rig's sound might not align with your preferences. However, for composers and producers needing clean and organized guitar recordings, it's incredibly convenient. Regarding mic positioning, unlike Amplitube's extensive options, Guitar Rig offers two mic settings with the ability to blend distances. While this may be a limitation for users wanting intricate control, it's a user-friendly feature for those who prefer adjusting mic distance and room tone with a single slider. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex-POrZDAmI

Diverse Presets Offered

One standout feature that sets Guitar Rig apart is its multitude of presets. Unlike some products that focus on amp head settings and basic effects, Guitar Rig shines when it comes to incorporating various FX modules in a rack-style setup. Starting from simple guitar effect pedals like overdrive, distortion, delay, and reverb, Guitar Rig allows users to explore harmonic exciters, synthesizers, and unique spatial effects. Even without delving into individual module settings, the default presets provide a wide range of tones. This is a significant advantage for composers and producers, offering the opportunity to experiment with a plethora of effects almost at the level of synthesizers. Guitar Rig is not limited to guitars; it can be used as an effective effects processor for drums, EP, and other instruments, thanks to presets tailored to different input styles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lqNCIswZaI

Input/Output Gain Staging

Amp simulators respond richly to input gain control, and Guitar Rig is no exception. While it tends to deliver clean tones, pushing the input gain provides enough room for gritty tone shaping. However, for experiencing the effects of various modules and presets, excessively raising the input gain is unnecessary. Desired effects can be achieved with minimal gain. Output gain staging is also convenient. Avoiding clipping issues is easily managed with built-in limiters, Ozone's maximizer, and volume modules. Balancing the volume gap between clean and driven tones is effortlessly achievable.

Conclusion on Guitar Rig 7 Pro

I had preconceived notions about Guitar Rig, perhaps originating from older versions, considering its sound as 'bland' for a player. Rediscovering the sound of Guitar Rig was a revelation, showcasing how much the quality gap in amp simulator plugins has diminished. As performance levels equalize, having a clear target audience or design philosophy is crucial for differentiation. Guitar Rig stands out with its creative and diverse sound experiences based on presets, offering a unique distinction from other plugins. The emphasis on preset-driven, creative, and varied sound experiences sets Guitar Rig apart. The plugin provides a unique differentiator in a market where performance levels are increasingly standardized. Read the full article

They announced the lineup for sanremo 2024 today which i used to watch with my grandma every year and with her being gone now it just sucks how much something i used to get so excited for hurts. We used to listen to this italian group called il volo who's competing this year and the kolors are also performing and i remember watching them sing frida the first time i watched sanremo with my grandma in 2018.

In the course of like a month i laid two loved ones to rest and i keep dreaming about the dead coming back and that this was all a glitch and it hurts so bad.

@techni-kolor

Val’s watching all this go down via drone like “lol these idiots don’t even know that it’s TikTok sludge that calms him down, not infomercials.” He’s a bit peeved when it actually works though. He wanted to watch them all die, damnit…

Wondering about Vox's full demonic form in RAM. If he still has access to it, that's gotta be a fucking nightmare for everyone present when it comes out; if he doesn't, well, just another thing for Alastor to get a kick out of taking from him.
