#Modern major general

[fipindustries]

I cannot stand the parodies of modern major general, they're overdone and simply not as good as the original. They've done them about everything, whatever topic, big or small.

And when i notice one of them my eyes will always start to roll.

The diction's always slurry when they rush the complicated words, and adding many fricatives will turn it so cacophonous. The slanted rhymes are silly and they keep just making more and more, please someone stop the parodies of modern major general.

The scanning of the lyrics in the meter is unbearable, they emphazise the syllables in ways that are untenable, in short in matters musical, prosodic and ephemeral, i cannot stand the parodies of modern major general!

My favorite David Tennant singing moments featuring my music major commentary because I refuse to stop pushing this agenda

One thing you need to know about me is that I will for the 5000th time rewatch the 1980 Shakespeare in the Park filmed performance of The Pirates of Penzance, starring Kevin Kline, Patricia Rutledge, Linda Ronstadt, and Rex Smith and I will gif the heck out of it…

Incredibly niche meme redraw I did as a commission for a friend as their other friend's birthday present 👌👌👌

I think my favourite trope in media is when there's an older widowed man with a dozen daughters that he absolutely adores to death idk why maybe it's my daddy issues and my longing for a big family to be close with but it just makes me so happy

in seventh grade I was in a middleschool production of ‘Pirates of Penzance’ and when I posted about it on Instagram the caption I put was—

“They ask me if I do this every day, I say orphan.”

And I need someone, ONE PERSON, to appreciate that please god.

Modern Major General, We Didn't Start the Fire, Nations of the World. I love songs that are just lists.

[ineffablelunatic]

I love how Captain is straight up a theatre kid.

Also, the song 'Modern Major General' is from the musical Pirates of Penzance.

Headcannon: I personally doubt that Captain was exposed to much musical culture as a child or before the war, (don't ask why, I just don't know when he would have encountered it and I'm one of those people who headcannons that his dad was an unpleasant guy) so I like to think that at some point as a ghost he somehow overheard the song, memorised it, and thought it was cool enough that he remembered it for several decades.

Typical Captain stuff.

I am the very model of a warrior of Hydaelyn I traveled to Eorzea to start a life adventurin’ Here’s my namesday, here’s my name, and no it’s not an alias And also, I get weird flashbacks that tend to be spontaneous I met some guys who let me in their secret organization The Scions of the Seventh Dawn who fight for the world’s salvation Learn I’ve been blessed by the goddess who keeps me from being enslaved With all this power and friendship how could the country not be saved? x3 With all this power and friendship how could the country not be not be saved? Got caught up in a couple wars and slayed a bunch of deities Though to the Twelve and Mothercrystal do I pledge my fealty Since I came to Eorzea to start a life adventurin’ I am the very model of a warrior of Hydaelyn! (Since we came to Eorzea to start a life adventurin’ We are the very model of warriors of Hydaelyn!)

I am the very model of a modern Warrior of Light

I’ve had to unite many sides; from dragonflight to socialite.

I’ve gone to different worlds and defeated Primal’s left and right

Ultima Thule was different, though, Endsinger gave me quite the fright.

But I challenged Zenos at the end and fist-fought him with all my might

The bad guy’s gone and once again my friends and I have won the fight

So let’s celebrate and take a break it’s time to settle down they said,

But if I’m not there to save the day then everyone could wind up dead…

All: IF THEY’RE NOT THERE TO SAVE THE DAY THEN EVERYONE COULD WIND UP DEAD All: IF THEY’RE NOT THERE TO SAVE THE DAY THEN EVERYONE COULD WIND UP DEAD All: IF THEY’RE NOT THERE TO SAVE THE DAY THEN EVERYBODY'S GONNA WIND UP DEAD.

I‘m very good at pushing past my limits when I take damage

In combat I’m unmatched my job-stones give me quite the advantage

In short, in matters that excite like outright getting in a fight I am the very model of a modern Warrior of Light. All: IN SHORT, IN MATTERS THAT EXCITE, LIKE OUTRIGHT GETTING IN A FIGHT THEY ARE THE VERY MODEL OF A MODERN WARRIOR OF LIGHT
