While the rest of the world was experiencing the largest IT outage in history, I was playing improv jazz flute. Huh.

Wouldn't it be funny and kinda wholesome that some of the chain think Twilight can't sing or refuses to sing because his singing voice is horrible, then when they go to Ordon just in time for a harvest or something and there Twilight starts singing with the voice of an angel. He just feels more comfortable singing at home than on the road. My recent headcanon has also been that Twilight either plays a string instrument or a flute or both. The man is musically talented, he's just self-conscious about it when not at home.
Edit: I just realised that Twilight could also sing to the animals and be a proper disney princess. He would absolutely sing to the wild animals and frightened animals.
#lu twilight#linked universe#the boy has instruments but they aren't magical#actually twi's era has very little magic which is very interesting#like the dominion rod is magic and gale boomerang is somewhat magical and zelda can do magic#what happened in between time's and twi's eras that most of the magic has more or less evaporated away

[ 2ND CHILDREN / 5TH CHILDREN ]
— The truth is, Unit 02 simply isn’t compatible with the other EVAs. (E14)
— I never imagined this boy could synchronize with Unit 02 without replacing its core. Quite astonishing. (E24)
Death & Rebirth Pamphlet / Cruel Angel’s Thesis OP / EVA-02 wiki / DEATH (TRUE ²) / E16 / E24 / DEATH (TRUE ²) / E22 / 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo Cover / E09 / The End of Evangelion / E09 / E24 / NGE Manga / The End of Evangelion
#neon genesis evangelion#nge#asuka langley soryu#kaworu nagisa#shinji ikari#mine#there’s something here that I find really interesting wrt narrative relevance#bc both asuka + kaworu r rly important thematically#point blank the show would be fundamentally different w/o asuka in it#but asuka exists outside of the ikari bloodline#if shinji dies there’s no show. if rei dies she’s replace bc she’s still necessary#asuka was incapacitated and they brought in a new pilot#all asuka wants is to be the most narratively relevant person in the room but she’s the least. she exists outside of the ikari bloodline#and so she ranks below shinji and she ranks below rei#unit 02 isn’t compatible w any of the other evas!#meanwhile kaworu is what kickstarts instrumentality. but if it hadn’t been kaworu it would’ve been smth else#he’s there for five minutes and then he’s gone. he shows up in glimpses#he doesn’t get to actually matter either not beyond a concept#i think there’s smth that ties them together there#which ofc makes their relationship to shinji fascinating#also lol I wasn’t going to include this as actually being anything but I do think it’s funny that 2+3=5 get it#2nd children + 3rd children = 5th children#im very funny#anyway where kaworu idealizes shinji well asuka has to tear him down#and in many ways this is for the same reason#all of the kids are means to an end. but i think asuka and kaworu r this the most#bc they could be anyone. Thats the thing#there’s no reason it has to be them. they could be anyone#the joke addition is ofc: feliz jueves vs quieres ser mi novio shinji?

[Answer options in order are:
1. Yes, guitar, mandolin
2. Yes, piano/keyboard
3. Yes, violin, viola, cello, bass (inc. electric bass)
4. Yes, percussion
5. Yes, a woodwind
6. Yes, a brass instrument
7. Yes, multiple
8. Yes, something not mentioned here
9. No, I do not currently play an instrument but I sing
10. No, I do not currently play an instrument and I do not sing.
End Options]
Please specify in the comments or tags!
I’m sorry there aren’t more options, I only had 10 spaces or I would’ve included more. I tried to go with the most common and obviously with groups!
What counts for singing is up to you. I think most people sing some amount, but you can decide if yours counts or not. The reason for this is because you can teach yourself an instrument, so not requiring lessons or anything for either instruments or singing.
If you want to learn an instrument, especially if you don’t currently play any, I would love to know if you shared!
Please reblog! I wanna know how many of us play instuments ourselves and what that distribution is.
If you don’t listen to the Mechanisms don’t respond to this poll! I’m sure your answer is very interesting, but it will skew the results!
#the mechanisms#poll#i included the answer options in brackets because my phones screenreader wont read them if i havent voted. ive heard other peoples do but i-#included it to be safe!#i have experience with multiple instruments!#chronilogically they are guitar. recorder (which i still count even though it was required in my school because i still have it and can-#still play it). alto saxophone. piano/keyboard. ukulele. violin. electric bass.#i have most experience with the saxophone and least with the bass!#i also sing. i did musical theatre ages 10-14 and a bit of non-musical theatre outside of that. so i have *some* amoung of training.-#plus chorus in middle school. but very little of it was one-on-one. plus i take t now and my voice dropped! so i dont havd any idea how my-#singing is now. not that i really knew before.#anyway im very curious! i always think its interesting when people are really into music but play no instruments (like my dad)#sorry to harmonica and accordion for not being able to fit you in the poll and also everything else because there are so many instruments!

gale is ambition, so he has both crippling self doubt and debilitating pride in his work.
gale is ambition, so if a character tries to undermine him by one-upping him, he'll think he's not nothing left. more else can the orb destroy that it hasn't already?
gale is ambition, so if a character tries to undermine him by one-upping him, he'll vehemently deny that. he's the wizard of waterdeep. he was mystra's chosen. he was her lover. who could be any better than that?
gale is ambition. it's his greatest flaw and his greatest asset.
#baldur's gate 3#gale#gale dekarios#gale of waterdeep#gale bg3#bg3 gale#spoilers#bg3 spoilers#rex rambles#obvious take is obvious but i've been ruminating on his reactions to sorcerer tav/tav generally undermining his experience and expertise#it's the same principle if anyone's every played an instrument and you see a 5 year old playing music better than you#who has had 20+ years of study and practice#it's humbling; it makes you feel like shit; it incenses you to try harder to get better#that's ambition. it's both the self doubt and the pride#of course gale is going to be petty back; you've literally just stepped on both the pride and self doubt at the same time#ruminating on the bg3 cast a little too late but it's fine lmao. i think he's neat and i like him a lot#i'm very obsessed with my own drow war cleric though. oh no he's hot ig lmao#i also have some thoughts about the soundtrack which ar very interesting to me

Hey y'all my neighbors had a yard sale and I got an autoharp but I know absolutely nothing about autoharps, how to tune them, or how to play them. Do you have any advice?
#the person behind the yarn#I got a very good deal on it because I told the person selling it I would definitely be learning to play it#and she was like really? and I said yeah I already know how to play a few instruments#and I'm excited to learn to play more#and she was like oh good I got it for my granddaughter hoping she'd learn to play but she wasn't interested#so! autoharp!!#the price was below my Enrichment For My Enclosure threshold#which is my budget I set myself for starting a hobby I may or may not be interested in#purely for the novelty factor of it. new puzzles for my brain to chew on#like acrylic paint or oil pastels#will they be my primary hobbies? probably not! but it's good to stretch my brain a bit every once in a while

ok new thought. shuro was actually normal about falin until he saw her looking at a caterpillar one night, which he claims is the inciting incident. while at this point laios has not become openly Hungry about monsters, shuro has still been exposed to his monster interests (see him being forced to talk about monsters for 5 hours upon meeting laios). i think it's something that shuro struggles to understand much the same way kabru wonders how someone can be so enthusiastic about monsters. im not sure how open falin was about her interest in monsters, but seeing her that night reframed that interest in the typically weird and creepy as something that could be beautiful to him. it's interesting that This is the thing he latched onto after being stuck with a guy he just couldn't understand (sublimation????). what im saying is that i need him to make a similar connection with laios, either by seeing the similarity or having his own moment
#i think itd be interesting for him to realise how instrumental laios monster knowledge has been to their survival too#iirc kabru notes that what sets laios party apart from similarly experienced parties (ie his own) is his knowledge on monsters#i suppose for the most part thats all others incl. shuro would see it as. a particularly practical obsession#but again idk that he knows the extent to which it saved their asses lmao#i should like for kabru to bring it up in conversation to him and think of his reaction#<- UNLESS THIS ALREADY HAPPENED AND I FORGOT ANSHCHXHDHDH????????#none of this is new info im just reframing it for myself i think LMAO

a bby branmer with his parents, kedrunn and eiyamer (both ocs). they're both musicians so i had fun designing some absurd minbari instruments for them that probably would be extremely impractical in real life (the minbari dedication to the triangle aesthetic always cracks me up)
#babylon 5#b5#minbari#branmer#minbari ocs#yes i am weirdly obsessed with the guy who is like... a coffin in one ep lol#i just think he occupies an interesting space in minbari worldbuilding!#one instrument is based on a crwth#and the other started out based on a psaltery and quickly turned into something different#in parliament of dreams (i think) the minbari have psalterys#which they are plucking despite being the bowed kind!#i can only assume some of the production team walked into a music shop and saw a bowed psaltery and were like 'JACKPOT' ahaha#and ofc the triangle branmer is playing with is one that pops up whenever the show calls for some ritual shaking of bells#idek what that is#maybe they made it special for the show???

man I'm still thinking about just how cool stray gods is. it took what I find to be one of the most interesting features of Dragon Age 2 (Hawke's personality types, consistent even outside your active dialogue choices) and went 'yeah that's cool but watch me I'm going to do that again, backwards and in heels and with a soundtrack of such dizzying scale and modularity you could pick it over for hundreds of hours to find every nuance'. and I just think that's neat.
#stray gods#genuinely really interesting game design-wise#the only thing that could make it better for me as a person is to get a musical game with the Kirkwall crew#which will never happen but I want it in my heart so bad#sound off about what instruments would symbolize each of the bi disaster gang here if you'd like#dragon age 2... save me dragon age 2 etc.

in my car listening to the idkhow debra cover instead of going into work yet. this is a good decision
#GIRLL YOU DRIVE ME CRAZYYY!!!!#also i had never heard the original beck song until really recently which was really interesting#the instrumental is basically identical its just like some little vocal moments that dallon changed here and there. very fun to compare#i do like beck but i am an extremely casual listener and i never heard this song before and never sought it out#anyways!! its a good song :) the idkhow cover wins in my heart though#idkhow

HOW can you be bad at being a furry???????
IDK BUT I AM
#its like i would consider myself a furry the same way someone who played the recorder in middle school says they play an instrument#im like bare minimum furry or furry enjoyer at best. im like someone who might not even be a furry but share their beliefs etc etc#also its very funny when ppl try to 'clock' me as a furry bc of the 'if someone u know draws dogs like this theyre a furry' litmus test#nah man i just poked around deviantart and have a bunch of deviantart artist pages bookmarked on my browser#not to mention the animation memes and oc AMVs which probably shaped my teen years#but the weird thing is that the things u think would have been some sort of furry awakening for me never actually counted for much#i did read the warrior cats mangas BUT i never actually read the main series. i didnt even play animal jam or pretended to be wolves on the#schoolyard ALTHOUGH i did pretend to be a dog and even had a tail i clipped to my pants but nobody wanted to join in bc i bit ppl#maybe im just not that conscious of it but recently ive been looking at more furry art and now i want to draw more furries#its interesting ^_^ maybe im just a late bloomer#ask#yapping

Oh no… If Harry fails the red encyclopedia check on Kimball, and simply comes up with ‘Hey aren’t Seolites all good at pinball?’
Oh man. So. That stereotype is likely why a junior officer Kim was put on the pinball squad in the first place.
It’s crazy how much racism is presented in fridge logic form. It hits so hard. The shit this man puts up with every day of his life. I just wanna hug him.
Fun fact: look up Seolite in fayde. I’ve been breaking my own heart all morning lol. I was trying to figure out if there were inconsistencies in Kim’s telling of his own background. I keep getting a Feeling about it. He says his grandparents are from Seol, but that both his parents are half Seolite, also his father wasn’t in the picture, but *also* that his parents were killed in the revolution…so he didn’t know his mother either? And he says he’s only a quarter Seolite, but with two half parents, is that correct? In his position, I think I’d tell half-truths as well, or whatever I needed to say to get racists off my ass. It is canon that Kim messes with racists by playing into stereotypes, and bless him for it because he’s so damn funny about it.
#there’s one instance where fascist Harry says something racist and Kim looks at him quote Almost Sadly#and I Almost Cried#disco elysium#kim kitsuragi#disco elysium meta#also the Very Interesting line from Shivers begging Harry to make it right after the failed authority check in the church#makes me think that not just Harry but literally their partnership is what’s going to be instrumental in keeping revachol alive#also a Very Very Interesting line where Harry still tries to tell a furious hurt Kim that he spoke to the city#and if your rep is higher#kim doesn’t just dismiss it as crazy talk but INSISTS upon hearing it#which is#INCH RESTING#Mr Rationalité is taking your hunch about the end of the world seriously for a moment#this gAME#I am obSessED

genuinely kind of terrified as to what will happen to me when i see bare live in three (three!!!!!!!!) days. i will either go fully insane or transcend mortality or perhaps both. either way i will most likely end up full weeping.
#going to see bare with my mother will be on par with seeing deh with her in regards to our [gestures vaguely] relationship#we will hold hands. we will cry. we will have emotionally intense conversations on the walk back to the hotel.#but guys. i genuinely tried to listen to a clip of just an instrumental from the show and teared up.#bare is just. Such a big part of who i am. i literally wouldn't be anything like i am today without it and the people it brought me.#and i laugh and joke but this is Such a full circle moment for tvp nation.#like i am currently about to self-produce a workshop of my play that has professional theatre companies interested.#and all of that started from writing a silly little show about bare when i was 14 to make cool people online laugh.#and since then the plot of bare (peter's version) Has Happened To Me Twice but i have been so so brave about it#i haven't listened to the full soundtrack since last year and i've been going cold turkey in Anticipation#i just Know my ***** is going to have the most insane reactions on it.#god. it's so crazy to me. what if you were gay and catholic and an angsty pop rock punk opera teen and you grew up to be happy.#anyways. in my feels. going to have lunch and listen to bway breakdown before class.#BECAUSE I GO TO A CLASS NOW!!! EXCITING!!! it's for writing and marketing stuff :) which is super helpful and fun#anyways haven't done a tumblr rant in a while. miss you guys in my phone <3 if you're reading this i love you forever mwah

Infinite list of favourite lyrics: 229/?
Bobbie Gentry - Ode to Billie Joe (1967)
"And Papa said to Mama, as he passed around the black-eyed peas:
'Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense; pass the biscuits, please.
There's five more acres in the lower forty I got to plow'
And Mama said it was a shame about Billie Joe, anyhow.
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billie Joe McAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
[...]
"Mama said to me, 'Child, what's happened to your appetite?
I've been cookin' all morning, and you haven't touched a single bite.
That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday - oh, by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billie Joe was throwin' something off the Tallahatchie Bridge'"
#favourite lyrics#bobbie gentry#ode to billie joe#1967#jimmie haskell#ode to billy joe#<- as this fairly regularly gets styled‚ tho Billie is correct and the spelling that appeared on the label originally#i overuse the term but i really think it's unavoidable here: this song is an absolute masterpiece of narrative songwriting#Gentry's ambition had only really been to work as a lyricist; she recorded this as part of her first demo‚ singing the songs herself#because it was cheaper than hiring a singer for the sessions. the demo grabbed the attention of Kelly Gordon at Capitol‚ who signed Gentry#and got to work producing her first album. the centre point of the album‚ and her first single‚ was to be Mississippi Delta; there wasn't#much interest in the Southern gothic tinged tale of secrets and 'unconscious cruelty' (as Gentry dubbed it) of Ode‚ and it was regarded#with little interest by Gordon (when arranger Haskell asked him what instruments he should add to Gentry's stripped down vocal and guitar l#the producer replied curtly that it didn't matter because nobody would ever hear it). Ode was assigned as b side to Mississippi Delta as#almost an afterthought‚ but this was the era in which US radio djs frequently chose which side of a single they wanted to play and the#unanimous decision was Ode; here was something special‚ a dark and tantalising mystery of a song obscured by the humdrum idle conversation#of an unthinking family. it ignited a kind of obsessive curiosity among listeners‚ desperate to find out what exactly the unnamed singer#and Billie Joe were throwing off the bridge‚ why did Billie Joe take his own life‚ why do the singer's gamily clearly not know about#their obvious relationship? Gentry‚ for her own part‚ resisted all attempts to glean further information about the actions of her song's#protagonist. she rightly tried to steer interested parties back towards what is arguably the real horror of the song‚ that unconscious#cruelty; a family that can eat and chatter and squabble even as they discuss the suicide of a boy they've known all their lives‚ even as#the clearly affected girlfriend of the boy (their own sister and daughter) sits in dumbstruck silence‚ unable to articulate her feelings#the original cut of the song ran more than 7 minutes and had to be mercilessly hacked down to fit a 45 single suitable length. no one had#expected much of anything from the song but it was to catapult Gentry to almost instant stardom; the forthcoming album was retitled after#the song that was now its focus; Ode went on to top the Billboard Hot 100‚ won a clutch of grammys and ended up selling more than 3 million#copies worldwide. Gentry had captured the imagination of a nation and beyond‚ but her success was tempered by legal challenges (from#producers demanding greater royalties) and a general dissatisfaction with her newfound stardom: it would last a little more than a decade#and include her own tv shows‚ more awards and smash hit singles; then just as suddenly as she'd shot to fame‚ Bobbie retreated from it#retiring from both the business and from public life. she hasn't made a public appearance since the early 80s‚ nor does she grant interview#but so what? if she's happy? i hope she's happy. she left us enough great music to enjoy. let her have her peace and quiet

I always like seeing the random incidental english text to see how things like the battleship names (in this case) get transliterated
#the dogosse giar is just a straightfoward transliteration here i think it's just as squished together#also it's interesting to see how words get spelled here because of how they would be spelled in japanese#operation = operasion for example because it would end with ション which doesn't exactly fit being transliterated out to sion but#and also words like instrument and research missing some Rs because of the same thing#Z-32#〇
