thank you to @alvallah for tagging me to post five of my favourite songs at the moment
"Se l'aura spira" — Girolamo Frescobaldi (sung by Alice Borciani, accompanied by Magdalena Hasibeder et al.)
"Jubilate Deo" — from the Manuscrit de Tours (performed by Ensemble Correspondances, dir. Sébastien Daucé)
"Venus" — Lady Gaga
"Désolé" — Gorillaz ft. Fatoumata Diawara
"Sirata" — Habib Koité
I'll tag @slingsandarrowroot @lewcyd @chatwiththeclouds @parksanddeserts @fluencylevelfrench and whomsoever else wishes to do this ; just say I tagged you〜
#a very difficult ask to select just 5#but I've gone with the very pedantic definition of song - ie must include lyrics#which narrows it down a bit#I have sung along to all of these at least once in the last week so I'd say it's a fair selection

excellent: the clones/guard slowly putting together evidence to find the sith hidden in the senate, allowing for tension and other storylines to run parallel to their search
infinitely funnier: when you're looking for something, you see it everywhere.
mas amedda? asshole. totally a sith.
orn free taa? could be a sith, certainly has the lack of morals for it.
senator amidala? probably not. but skywalker could DEF be a sith, so maybe sith-sympathetic?
that aide on the senate floor that always burns the caf? ABSOLUTELY a sith.
chancellor palpatine? 100% a sith, no question no notes.
palpatine starts getting paranoid that someone's found out what he is but it's just the guard and the other poor bastards working at the senate talking shit about their bosses
#tcw#coruscant guard#more trope inversion shenanigans#as always idea free for use under the#someone else should write that#tag#don't @me about funnier i am committed to this bit#'do you think any of your bosses could be a sith?'#'sir it would be quicker to narrow down which of our bosses COULDN'T be sith'#'and even then there's room for doubt'

Help a college student graduate by answering a survey!!
Hey!! Are you over 18 and in the miraculous fandom? Then this is for you!!
Hi everyone, this is my last semester of uni, and one of my final projects to be able to graduate is to write a scientific paper. I'm writing an article about adult fans of children's animation, specifically Miraculous Ladybug. My goal is to understand what makes adults (like us) want to join fandoms centered around shows aimed primarily at children, and to do that I'd love to hear directly from the source! The survey takes around 10 minutes to answer, it's 100% anonymous and it would help me immensely!
>>Click here for the survey<<
I need at least 30 people to answer, but honestly the more the merrier! I've also made a little thank you gif at the end, so if you see it let me know! If you have any questions feel free to send me an ask, as well!
Please reblog so it can reach more people! Thank you so much!
#what do we love (or hate!! I know people are here bc they dont like the show as much too) abt miraculous that#makes us want to spend so much time thinking and creating things for and about it?#miraculous ladybug#i am once again asking for your support#insert bernie sanders meme here#alskdjasd#no but really if you answer this it would help me so so much#and i'll be so thankful#i will reblog this post a bit frequently so please be patient with me 😭😭#also the point of this is not to shame anyone for watching kid's shows in any shape or form#i just love animation and kids cartoons too#my first intentions with this research were to ask why do we mostly view animation as a kid's genre instead of a technique to tell stories#in the west at least#but it was too broad of a question and I dont have enough time to dedicate myself to it#so i narrowed it down to something i'm familiar with#which is why i went for#so uh anyway#pls reblog#and answer my survey#thank you so much

Yee-Fuckin-HAW BABY
#I think I took one good pic cause I was too busy loosing my shit up at the front#first time seeing him live and I do not intend for it to be the last#he did the throwing roses out to the audience bit and wanted to give one out to a shirtless guy but couldn't find him#we were in SF so i cannot even begin to stress how little that narrowed it down#I was more than a bit hyped up and also mildly intoxicated so I did yell back “Which One!?” and got him to crack composure for half a secon#in a good way he was laughing about it#so add that to the list of life achievements i guess#anyway if you were at the sf show this last friday and saw a jackass waving a bandana at the barrier#that was me I apologize I was doin my best to check behind me and make sure I wasn't directly in anyone's path#but I was trying to figure out what to do instead of throwing up the horns cause Im a metal concert graduate#and bandana was best I could think of#listen I was at the front I was on hype man duty it is the solemn vow of anyone at the front of the crowd to have wild energy#orville peck

trying to puzzle out a voice claim for this thang
#my art#oc art#tadc oc#.menagerie#.exhibit: jitter#oc: jitter#voiceclaims are so impossible bc its so easy for me to forget what anyone ever sounds like so very quick#so i can only narrow it all down with vague little ideas#ofc considered s.pinel as shes in their insp list#for jitter i knew i wanted them a bit like. if u heard them talk too much they can grate on your nerves#a kind of higher pitched voice?? something that can get to squeaking real easy#which i gracefully avoided giving them a cat valentine from victorious voice claim. ur welcome all.#DID CONSIDER GIVING THEM AUDREY 1ST'S VOICE A LA L.ITTLE PET SHOP OF HORRORS 1986#something more nasally like columbia r.ocky horror was close#and then i settled in the ball park of betty boop and here we are now#until i wake up in a cold sweat remembering a completely different voice

There's been a bunch of these going around but none with the options I'd pick so...
#not including any from the new series because frankly it would make narrowing down to ten impossible#and DS9 is mostly saved by the bits I find objectionable being parts of longer arcs rather than specific episodes#(could talk at length about the jem hadar but smarter people than me have done so with better nuance)#honourable mention to DS9's The Storyteller and The Passenger#which have more redeeming factors than most listed here but I personally just can't watch#star trek#tos#tng#voyager#enterprise#ds9

[image description: a series of screenshots from pilot episode of The Mentalist. The first three images are of Kimball Cho (Tim Kang) speaking seriously to Mr Randolph (Tim Guinee). Cho says “Mr. Randolph, rest assured there is no intent to persecute you. We are holding your brother because we have evidence linking him to the crime, and potential motive. Whenever you weren't around, he was banging your wife like a big bass drum.” In the last image Mr Randolph looks shocked and the subtitles read “[snickers]”. End description.]
#I cannot overestimate the dryness in which cho says this line#my own post#I had these saved so long I couldn’t remember which law enforcement tv series they were from#I knew it was something I’d only watched a small bit of but that didn’t really narrow it down#screencaps#the mentalist screencaps#the mentalist#kimball cho#tim kang#tim guinee

i wish my brain worked.
#I can't take ADHD meds because i'm schizoaffective. which means i have almost no motivation ever and can't focus on the little things#i only ever see the big picture and can't narrow it down. it's impossible for me to work on myself.#i want to be organized and have a bit more of a schedule but i can never stick to it. forming habits and routines isn't possible for me.#i wish i could utilize my time more effectively i wish i wasn't always tired i wish I didn't struggle so much to do simple tasks

Eddie Month 2023:
☆ Day 16 (Library)
"I brought them up here to illustrate the point of conformity: the difficulty in maintaining your own beliefs in the face of others." - Dead Poets Society
#eddiemonth#eddie munson#bit of a darkish academia board today so i went with a dead poets quote which was so hard to narrow down#breaking my own rules with the green in the middle but that stance is just unbelievably eddie#my mbs#mine

does anyone have tips for how to deal with the phenomenon of 'autistic need to sort and hypercategorize things, except that there are multiple different axes by which to sort them and you can't use them all at the same time, and the result is overwhelm and distress?'
i've learned that tagging systems help, at least, but sometimes they uh. sometimes they can only go so far
#whosebaby talks#whosebaby makes things#whosebaby does game dev#ttrpg tag#i first wrote up that nightmare of tags when i only had three or four hacks in progress lmfao#looking at it now there are some i think i could narrow down a bit but it still makes me itchy#and with how much bleed and overlap there tends to be with different hacks and systems#it can be really inconvenient and disruptive to separate them completely for ones that have multiple drafts and test run docs#the tagging system i use on here is pretty damn loose by my usual standards but keeping track of game dev in the way i do it#kind of needs a lot more careful distinction and along multiple axes#the alternative is pretty much just one big soup which works *okay* but can still be overwhelming and a hassle to keep up with#anyway this is not remotely the only thing this applies to and Suffering Squirtle especially when urge to sort physical objects#and it's also annoying when it's something harder to quantify like#'i'm genuinely really having fun with this test scene/campaign and want to continue it' vs 'ehn. don't mind not picking this one back up'#sighs#also yeah i have. i have a lot of balls in the air here lmao#this doesn't include the i think like 5-10 docs i made on gdrive before i switched to the notes app because the formatting sucked to use#and the above folders also don't include things like the divination stuff i've made#me with nerve damage that makes handling physical tarot cards painful; making a dice table instead: try and stop me asshole#is there a name for that tag

Today's fanfic writing adventures: reading adademic articles on human sacrifice in Gaul written in French, because dictionaries of mythology all include some weirdly specific details about how the sacrifices were carried out that I couldn't find an actual source for, and this french guy seems to be The leading expert.
I do not speak French
But that's okay, because he cites most of the authors he's drawing from in the original latin, rather than translating them
I also do not speak Latin
But after a couple of hours with translation software and vague memories of my french gcse (which included very few, if any, words relating to human sacrifice or pre-christian pagan religion) I can now confirm...
the article also doesn't cite an actual fucking source for this
#fanfic writing#writer problems#it doesn't even matter#i'm playing fast and loose with the mythology anyway#i just want to know where it comes from!#for context gcse means age 16#which was exactly half my lifetime ago#and i haven't used any french since#beyond sil vois plait and merci when i've been on holiday#the only only of the article i could find was pdfs of a scan of the pages of the journal it was published in#so i couldn't even copy and paste#i've just been typing it out into google translate#and then doing a vibe check on whether the results make sense in context#if i'd found something that looked like the bit i needed i would have used something better than google translate don't worry#this was just to try and narrow down the search field

continuing my trend of doing literally anything but studying when i should be studying, here are a few blackout pieces i did of russell potter's transcript of the peglar papers. taken from pages 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
#the terror#bees speaks#also think of the ellipses as stanza breaks or as transitions between different poems#they function as a break in concept#except the one between O and tertell. i just forgor about that one#& i did the whole thing but these are the bits i liked best!#plus i just left the c the c the open c as it is i couldn't take that one apart i love it too much#also this was a fun exercise as half of it is illegible anyway#so i got to choose which bits to keep AFTER i'd narrowed it down to legible pieces#but also got to play the game of 'can i make this fragment of a word carry meaning here'#it was quite fun#this is less important but i also tried to relate it to the events of the show#in somewhat chronological order. thus john faithfull ashamed & the kindness turnd dirty & etc.

#wait actually. girl killed while thinking about tpg sukuna listening to#hold onto anything by young medicine#was losing my mind over how fitting it is and saw viva la vida in the ''you might also like''#which is my other tpg sukuna song#i feel validated but also i'm losing!!! it#actually you'll learn a bit about tpg sukuna's backstory in 37#in a way that...definitely raises more questions than answers but we're narrowing things down#ooouuuughhh. it is 7am. hwllo#tpg
