Based off that one scene in eclipse lake I've decided that willow's favourite human music would be the world's worst fucking ear-bleeding hyper pop.

Hunter sits down to listen to it with her and has to rip the headphones off 4 seconds in because he thinks he's gonna throw up and willows like "omg are you okay?? I'm sorry we can stop listening to it if you need to :((" all concerned and hunter's like "no no it's fine! I just...don't know why you listen to this. Or how" and willows like "it makes my brain itchy :)" and hunter says "THAT'S A GOOD THING??"

#ramblings of a lunatic #the owl house #willow park #hunter toh #hunter noceda #feel free to tag as ship. I'm not bc i want hyper pop willow to reach the widest possible audience #in all fairness i think most of the kids would have pretty eclectic music tastes across the board???#luz likes songs from anime and k-pop i feel but she also likes the merengue and latin pop music her mom loves and classic rock from her dad #probably also enjoys showtunes? at least the ones that are popular in her demographic (re: teens)#then i think in like. s3 specifically she'd be enjoying a lot of mountain goats and julieta venegas and mm@ta??#plus lucy dacus i feel #willow also likes lucy dacus (i already made a whole comic abt her liking breakup songs lol)#(LISTEN i just think that when she was little she lacked the vocabulary to express her feelings on the Amity situation-#-and the closest thing she had was angsty breakup songs. hunter shares this problem aftet belos ''dies'' and she gives him her playlist)#she likes mxmtoon and boy genius and some other artists she likes k-pop but overall her fav is wretched hyper-pop #(also i wish i could specify which k-pop groups luz and willow (and gus and Amity btw) would like BUT. I've only listened to blackpink)#(so feel free to weigh in on that)#i think zeno once said that hunter would like slipknot and other metal and metal-adjacent music??? feels right #but i also know he'd enjoy cavetown. yes yes it's basic but it's so him. it's a common hc for a reason #(FUN FACT AVI ROQUE RAINES VA SAID THEY'D LIKE IT TOO. CUTE AS SHIT)#he also likes manny's old rock CDs and even though he doesn't get the lyrics he likes camillas music too #he'd like a lot of orchestral arrangements too and acoustic pieces i think. movie scores and folk songs #gus likes everything i cannot stress this enough. if it is music gus is in love with it. even the weird shit. actually ESPECIALLY that #again. points at the scene from eclipse lake #but also his frame of reference for what's weird is skewed??? mongolian throat singing is more normal to him than Shawn Mendes #he likes carly rae japsen i stand by that from the comic #oh i also forgot to mention this in his section but huntet enjoys phoebe bridgers and the front bottoms #amity likes mitski and phoebe bridgers. she likes kate bush but also like late 90s/early 00s rnb???#she likes pop punk specifically paramore #i have more thoughts but I'm out of tags lol

This little speech bubble mix-n-match brush kit might just turn out to be super useful lol Having at least a nice variety of basic starter shapes that I can edit when called for, or when an extra (BANG) of expression is needed, and a bunch of mix-n-match quick tails is definitely a time saver.

#i'll get back to posting real illustrations and coimc pages soon #its been a lot of brush posts lately i know lol #procreate does have a basic fill shape tool in its selection tools but I want that loose and expressive hand drawn feel #so I really really dislike using those for myself #even when editing them they feel too Computer Perfect for my tastes #so I just got out a bunch of my past lettering jobs and re-did all of the basic most used shapes and some expression varitiesm #then did the same thing with the tails #makes for a pretty good kit

Looking at the Austrian crown: 🥰😁😊😚😍

Drawing the Austrian crown: 😟☹️😥😢😰

Please someone save me, why did I do this to myself, look at this thing

#catie: has never draw a crown in her life besides sketching and chibis #also catie: instantly decides to try to draw the most complicated one #im cursing you rudolph ii why did you have to be so tasteful #i still dont know tho if this is easier or harder than the holy roman empire crown #i think the general shape of the empire one is easier but the details are harder? idk honestly #and the crown im drawing is barely in any paintings UGHHHHH #even the professional painters looked at this and were like yeah nah im just putting that in the background #i don't wanna just give up and take it out of the painting bcs i think its cool #but idk if i can draw this 😭 its so complicated #its not even entirely historically accurate for seb to be wearing it #BIT I WANT HIM TOO SIB SOB SOB BCS IRS SO PRETTY #theres paintings of past emperors wearing the emperor crown so really i should be drawing that #but the austrian one is so much prettier 😭#so basically this crown was used as a personal crown by one emperor until the empire collapsed and then it became the imperial crown #so like techinally yeah seb shouldnt be wearing it bcs its for austria not the empire #but like cmon...in this au hes the type to wear a crown casually bcs bling bling yknow #but i am constantly cursed by historical accuracy #IDK WHAT TO DRAWWWWWWW #bcs i already drew the other austrian imperial stuff so i want the crown to match but ughhhhhh #catie.rambling.txt

While I didn’t have time to make them before Mid-Autumn festival, I made mooncakes for the first time this weekend and they’re so damn pretty I could literally just sit and stare at them.

#they bring me immense joy #now hopefully they also taste good😅 won’t know until Wednesday since they need to sit for two days #I’ll try to take pictures when they’re ready for munching #the won’t be the normal golden brown color since I did some substitutions #but they’re still very pretty #little nervous for how my baking of them went though #I kinda fucked up the wrapper I think?? I was having a hard time getting it to the right consistency #and also baking here at high elevation is always weird because sometimes things bake in the time they should #and sometimes they don’t #or I can’t tell #so hopefully I didn’t overtake them either😅😅😅#I bought the lotus seed paste although I really wanted to hand make it #but I knew realistically I didn’t really have the time so I made myself just buy it lmao #it was also a bit of an adventure trying to find the salted egg yolks but we got them #anyways basically they’re very pretty and looking at them makes me so happy #by yours truly the omelette of cheese #mid autumn festival #mooncakes

This can probably pinned on the tail end of Reinhardt's first event

#rune factory 5 #rune factory #rf5 reinhard #rf5 ares #rf5 beatrice #also im pretty certain there's nothing fundamentally wrong with rei's taste sense #he even mentions in game that ppl just think his sense of taste is off #and then he mentions it being cuz he grew up poor #and like everywhere u go ppl insult the food of ppl in lower socioeconomic status #i kinda took a bit of personal offense to rei being the end of constant food jokes cuz #like ppl used to make fun of me and my friends for this same reason cuz we grew up on immigrant versions of local food #or just like #even our own cultures food #you can have a sense of taste that is dif from the norm and it not be wrong #and there are so many types of food that the game's recipe sets don't cover #it just feels weird to see all that possible other be summed up as failed dish in rei's case #wow i sorta wrote a bit of an essay here haha #basically #i know rei's case is just a silly joke in game #but having taste that deviates from conventional norm isn't a bad thing!#so yeah #if u read all of this #thx for coming to my ted talk #or whatever haha #aashi doodles

realising how much of my expansion beyond rock and metal into a wide range of genres is because:

Slipknot crossed over with the edgy/gothier end of 2000s hiphop

Disturbed are just like. The BIGGEST nerds for 80s British pop (they're not alone in that, it's a whole numetal Thing, but I think like a solid 10% of the 80s pop I listen to I first heard as a Disturbed cover)

Lady Gaga was the top 40 artist it was Okay For Edgy Alternative Teens To Like In 2007

Being an Alternative 2000s Teen was in many ways very musically stifling cause it was incumbent upon me to perform disdain for anything deemed too Pop.

I was somewhat rescued by my own gayness (when me and my gay goblin friends discovered CAMP!!!! and got semi-ironically big into Katy Perry and Rihanna and of course Gaga) but mostly I was so aggressively self-policing my music tastes and deciding what to listen to based more on my assessment of where it fitted socially than on whether I like. Liked it.

Catch 13 year old me studiously typing "punk" and "metal" into Limewire and listening to whatever came up. Catch 15 year old me assessing whether the fact that Rihanna is making music videos about murder in black lipstick means it's ok to like top 40 pop. Complicated by the fact that honestly half the biggest Alternative Teen bait acts of the 2000s were pop as hell, and that as above, numetal acts were nerdy musicians with a broad range of tastes outside metal, and it was very complicated for me. It probably took me until I was like 20 to really start to get a handle on what I personally liked musically, rather than what fit my persona (vividly remember being in a goth club when I was like 18 where they closed out the night with Leonard Cohen's Closing Time every time, and thinking like oh man am I allowed to like Leonard Cohen then? having been listening to Leonard Cohen since I was a literal infant.)

Once I let go of the sense of having to like the Right Music, I very rapidly developed very eclectic tastes and music became a really big part of my life. although my friend did recently still describe my music taste as "two genres - heavy and gay" so that 2000s alt teen is still in there big time.

I think it's a normal thing about being a kid. You're developing music taste basically from scratch and there's a world of music out there so it helps to start out with a narrow focus and build a solid few acts, albums or genres you really like and work out from there. But I do regret how much good music I missed out on first time around because even though I liked it I wrote it off for being rap or being too pop or too upbeat. But the good thing about music is that it doesn't go away! I'm still discovering a lot of music that I heard 50000 times when it was on the radio but never really listened to at the time. It's fun!

#red said #also i do think the fact that my family didn't really listen to music radio did change the ways i developed taste #it was talk radio or music my parents or us kids already owned so there wasn't like. a time i was listening to new music where #i wasn't also performing Teen Coolness for other kids. i mostly heard new music in the art room at school or in cafes or on coaches #whereas i know a lot of people who built their foundational music tastes really on from what was on the radio when they were kids #lot of people i know reminisce about hearing certain songs in the car to school etc and for me that's not music that's BBC Radio 4 #idk i think it's really interesting that like. early developmental stage of music tastes #cause it's different for everyone. for most it's a patchwork of your family's music what your friends listen to and what's on the radio #as well as stuff you stumble on or seek out of of interest #and the balance is different for everyone. i think it says a lot about your experience of childhood #and i also think like for myself I'm often quite judgemental of child!me's basic and limited tastes #because i was pretty judgemental of myself at the time for not knowing Enough Music #and as an adult I'm like nah that's a pretty vital part of development. like you don't get mad at a baby for not knowing what words mean.#you have to start somewhere! when you're 14 you've only had 14 years to listen to music and for most of that time you weren't choosing it #and you probably haven't been going out to gigs or record stores off your own back. you're going with friends or family's recommendations #so like as a teen i knew my parent's music. i knew my brother's music. i read Kerrang! and listened to stuff my friends suggested #but it took time to build up that solid foundation to go 'what i like is a hefty beat/ bass and a lot of energy. i will find more of that.'

one of the most valuable life skills is discerning the difference between “this is bad” and “this is not for me”

#sometimes things are not for me BECAUSE they suck #sometimes… they’re just not for me #and since we don’t really culturally do a lot to incentivize knowing the difference and we do encourage thinking it’s always the same #it’s genuinely helpful to consider: is this thing bad or do i just not like it #i fucking hate raw carrots for example #no idea why they just don’t taste good and i hate the texture and always have #i might say “carrots are gross” jokingly but i need to be aware no they’re not #theyre just gross to me #and this sounds so simple but somehow it is very much not #i know this feels like a duh but it’s shocking how often i blur that line despite knowingfull well there IS a difference #and doing a pretty basic check on bad/not for me actually does a lot of deeper work in the long run #it allows me to interact with people the thing in question is for in a much less combative way #and to have a view of the world that doesn’t quietly assume my subjective preferences are empirical fact #little tools for big change in the longrun are a fav ngl

anyway if anyone was wondering how the autism assessment process is going, it's two weeks until the main appointments and this weekend I learned that most people find toothpaste to be pleasantly fresh rather than feeling like their mouth is full of cold fire

#i asked my partner like #'hey you know how i might be having some pretty wild sensory issues? is mint toothpaste supposed to burn?'#and the next day he came back from sainsburys with a tube of sensodyne because it tastes of basically nothing #it's good shit i like not getting blasted in the face with FRESH POWER ACTION or whatever the fuck

man i know i'm not the smartest person in the world but watching smosh do trivia makes me feel like a god

#i know they're all like. actors by trade. a lot of them were homeschooled or had disruptive schooling of some kind #but bitch so did i that's no excuse #they just released an episode about plants trivia and i'm like head in hands the whole way through like. y'all cannot be this dumb #like this isn't actual jeopardy-level trivia. this is pretty basic stuff #actually no i feel the same at trash taste trivia whenever they do that too but at least they're like just. some dudes who consume anime #man i would love to be quizzed more on random facts and trivia bc my brain has so much stuff in it that i never get to use or say #and apparently that isn't 100% universal. at least not when it comes to schooling topics like. plants #man 1. how do you not know mushrooms aren't plants and 2. how do you not know what carrion is #immediately second-guessing that gregor mendel did genetics studies with Peas as if that's not the quintessential thing to know #about genetics in grade school biology #like again i wasn't spectacular in school nor did i have a normal education but God Damn this is wild to me

once i went on the indie tag on omegle to get hopefully get some obscure artist recs but ended up w some girl screaming at me about how taylor swift was peak indie music and i at some point mentioned björk and then she proceeded to say björk was obviously trash bcz shes never heard of björk before and björk has less grammes than taylor as if we werent on the omegle tag people use to talk about literally anything other than taylor swift and ppl who win thousands of awards

the desperate need to listen to “indie” artists and/or stand out has ruined a generation ……… just recognise artists for what they r, there’s no shame in listening to what’s considered “basic” music

#LIKE nothing wrong with liking swift or artists who r ‘mainstream’#I listen to Maggio disclosure Lana del Rey etc etc so u know can’t throw stones in a glass house #BUT MAN CMONNNNN #just accept you have a pretty basic taste nothing shameful about it #asks

sorry not sorry but if you were ever a prequel hater i'm gatekeeping you from being a prequel lover now that it's popular to do so. you don't get to shit on the prequels for no reason only to turn around and be a prequel stannie (ESPECIALLY a hayden christensen stannie) now that kenobi is the hot new star wars thing. obikins don��t touch my post, i am also gatekeeping you <3

#the prequels had shitty dialogue? that's subjective but either way its the same exact quality of dialogue as the original trilogy #so if you constantly make fun of the pt for its dialogue you HAVE to constantly make fun of the ot for ITS dialogue #or else we both know that thats not the actual reason its just an excuse #the prequels had shitty cgi? they were all made in the late nineties/early aughts i wont say this this was the most cutting edge shit around #but it was pretty standard quality special effects for the time #you can't hate on a film because it's cgi aged poorly its unfair because this was quality shit at the time #the story was dumb? i have nothing to say to that because i can't help you if you don't have taste #ewan mcgregor was the only actor from the prequels that the 'fanbase' was even a little bit kind to #hayden christensen never got a moment's peace about his (fucking GOOD) performance and yet somehow despite that #maintains nothing but love for the films and excitement and joy at his return which makes absolutely no sense #because given the amount of shit he got he should be going through a (completely justified) fucking joker arc fr #natalie portman was treated horribly for daring to be a woman in a star wars film and then even more after the films were made #for daring to talk about star wars #despite the fact that she was In The Movies #like that one tumblr post where someone sends an ask about who does she think she is wearing a star wars shirt when she probably #hasnt seen the movies #(same ask might have also called her a bitch idk)#where the person who received the ask has to be like 'that's natalie portman and she was IN THE MOVIES'#jake lloyd's life was basically ruined and he was a fucking child when he was in the phantom menace (never forgiving y'all for that one)#and even alleged prequel lovers act like they needed to be 'fixed' like the way some 'pt lovers' talk about tcw and how it 'fixed' the pt #as if they arent just spouting the same shit that pt haters say fr #but that's a topic for another day another post i wont get into that now #i speak #star wars #kenobi #i've been a prequel stannie basically from birth i wont allow former pt haters to jump on the bandwagon #you know how people who hated the amazing spider man films started being andrew garfield stans after nwh came out?#and ppl who were constantly shitting on rpatz for the cardinal sin of playing batman before a TRAILER was even released #suddenly became stannies once the film was released and was best batman film ever made?#and how ppl who were stannies from the beginning were like 'absolutely fucking not'?

"why don't you go and actually watch scorsese/de palma/some other 70s popular director just because they're white guys doesn't mean they can't make deep films how can you say you like cinema and film analysis with this mindset" well you see it's because i don't like them. hope this helps
