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

— 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)

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.

Soldier players are admirable to me and you doing some guiding to the anons is really cool, might try rocket jumping again we'll see

-a demo player that can sometimes mid air sticky jump and can glide across the ground on upward from blu spawn till the mine exit(and is bad at rockets)

hey airpogo is legit, most demojumping is hella hardcore :D one of my best friends is a cracked demo jumper AND soldier jumper (because I love having an excuse to gush about my friends here's some of his stuff)

You can absolutely have both. But I'll warn you, Rocket and Sticky jumping both are very difficult and they legitimately take many years to get really good at. Just remember to keep working hard and don't give up on yourself and have faith that you will improve. I believe in you!

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!

watching funeral parade of roses and on the one hand i feel quite late coming to this film, but on the other hand think i needed this time to to get it, but also the amount of references that i know nothing about feels like yet another level of understanding to unlock

i didn't know going in just how overt it was going to be about its trans subject-matter. it's interesting to me how recognisable 1960s tokyo is, considering i know very little about it and it's making me think about gender politics in japan as evolving parallel at this point to gender politics to, say, america, which is the 60s i've seen the most of, cinematatically, of this era, with the next being probably france

also i don't think anything quite as bold in terms of (trans)gender themes was happening in either america or england at this point, cinematically, with the exception of the blip that was glen or glenda, which was not well-received

yes, the warhol superstars but cinematically a lot of those movies are messy af, even if the acting is very interesting (flesh, trash, women in revolt) + a large part of it was mockery more than actual exploration of transness, queerness, and gender. germany was going to start making some really interesting movies in the late 70s and 80s and sidney lumet was going to disappoint me in 1975 with dog day afternoon (one of my favourite movies that nevertheless is a letdown on its depiction of a trans woman)

but funeral parade feels more like a trail-blazer -- to be a bit simplistic -- than any of those films, perhaps with fassbinder's Jahr mit 13 Monden (but still, that wasn't until 1978)

anyway will have to see what inspired funeral parade... keep following that thread of trans cinematic language and how its choices were born out of an experimental, surrealist, non-chronological, fluid depictions of time and place and action and relationships

i also think there's a lack of fear of bodies in this that renders the violence of hyperfocusing on trans bodies (in this case transfeminine bodies) moot, because all bodies are simply bodies and it's the 60s and people have a lot of sex regardless of bodies. i dont think it manages this all the time and im sure there's more analysis to be done on a closer watch, but it mostly eschews in my opinion the idea of performance/trickery that pervades so many of these films, i think in part because of its blended genre

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.

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?

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

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)

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.

i'll say it. i could've directed john legend in jcs/a version of jcs that fit better with john legend. i could've done it and it would've been good
