i think solaris has nearly gotten herself 'fired' for a myriad of different reasons- with plenty of her personal offenses being what zor would consider severely insubordinate. but i think the stupidest thing she was almost nearly punished for was getting into a vicious debate with the doctor because they had the gall to assume dark chocolate was better than milk

i think the thing about arcade fire is i find almost all of their music that i've heard to be ridiculously corny with a few tracks being, like, ok enough to transcend the inherent corn for me (sprawl ii). but they seemed to be the most iconic early/mid 2010s musicians to like successfully exist at the nexus of mumfordish stompclap, singer-songwriter-"literary"-bon-iver/fleetfoxism that was still commercially distributed (pitchfork/nprcore), and the thing people typically mean by "indie classical" which was individual orchestrators/arrangers/composers getting employed in the brooklyn-centric ymusic cinematic universe (or sort of the next wave of That Stuff after bang on a can - "cool" and "daring" classical musicians with portfolio careers getting booked in traditional concert venues).
generalizing here, but i think the majority of artistic projects* in the latter two categories would not touch stompclap with a ten foot pole for pretty clear reasons (metric & formal inflexibility, communal participation vibes, incompatibility with venue, lower emphasis on virtuosity, boomy wall-of-sound mixing, anthemic/prescriptive affect vs. idiosyncratic/expressive affect, etc). and even if the musical "type of thing" was similar in some fashion like body percussion or chorused vocals etc they would go about it in a way that was broadly uncharacteristic of stompclap. if you're tune-yards for example (someone i would situate in the npr-core part of this fake continuum) then you're not going to actually use a choir effect that mimics a big singalong with indistinct/anonymized voices; instead you're going to multitrack yourselves and hire roomful of teeth to do the backing vocals. actually multitracking and live looping are/were Huge... also i feel like collegiate a cappella had its moment around this same time (?) on the poppier side of things... hence stuff like the ben folds record that was all collegiate a cappella versions of his music. hm. anyway

Welp, I kept this piece in my tablet for over an year, I decided to finally publish It.
Of course:
It's just a sketch
Since over an year passed, I can draw much better than this, especially in tems of proportions and anatomy.
Just to let you know that soon I'll open my NSFW commissions, you could be interested! U3O

Just realized that the kind of likely, or at least could be the reason we're already getting a whole new gameria set up is probably cuz of the ton of idiot fans who are like "NEW GAME???? NEW GAME PLS?????!!!???" and man. Man
Tbh I'd be happier if we just got the old games set up for Steam
Especially the platformers, though I do get if that would be like, a bit to figure out for Matt
Like thinking about it, he hadn't really coded anything but gamerias for a while now, and that sounds damn exhausting if you ask me
Tho I do get that in the end it's their choice
Still though, or even like something that's not Papa Louie
Though I also know they can't do that because it would inevitably get way less recognition as they are known for making gamerias
