The way they draw each other is so silly <3 Kou with the scratchy lines + borderline analog horror art style depicting Hanako as a smiley person contrasting Hanako's simple blobby doodles that emphasize Kou's spiky hair + angrier eyebrows is everything!! Special mention to Kou's concentrated face, really sells how seriously he takes drawing his goofy ghost

"nanobots" the song is this deconstructed view of child development and parenthood where it's like, 'wow have you ever thought about how weird producing offspring is. like, it's weird, right! we make these little people and they quickly grow into their own individual personalities with their own lives and autonomy and I've lost all authority and there's so many and you've gotta be responsible for them all the time, what did I do !!!'
but as well as approaching it with this slightly overwhelmed perspective, there's a sort of affectionate optimism in there, too. that even tho the concept's intimidating, there's a sense of wonder in how humans develop and raising them and watching them grow up. hey this kid thing's fun actually, yeah I wish they'd leave me alone sometimes, but look at how cute and resilient they are look at what they can do. and then "replicant" is like jesus parenting a teenager is hard.

falling asleep as i type this // i think im finally over the hesitation i had to make sylphs lament incorporate ballet. like it's always felt off because i was trying to work around it but i think i really did just need a bit more time. turns out it's kind of hard to approximate that specific experience using different experiences in a way that feels coherent

I'm watching the Queen Elisabeth Competition rn (livestream, not in person, tho I've got tickets for two nights of the final round at the end of the month) and trying to think of who I'd hypothetically vote for is so hard because they're all so good. How are the actual judges doing it XD

Kiryu is the only good dad in the series that doesn’t get screwed over.
Everyone else is either Kazama’s Norman Osborn lookin ass, a straight up bad dad, a dead parent, or an actually good parent who died.
ill keep it 100 with you anon i think youre going to ruffle a couple of people's feathers by saying kiryu's a good dad

top 5 oboe concertos 👀
kalliwoda. yes i am counting it even though it's labelled a concertino. idc. it's great and i love it
mozart. yes i know this answer is Basic. but if it was good enough for flutes to steal it's good enough for this list
marcello. i have a soft spot for baroque, sue me. also if this counts then the kalliwoda definitely does. play it in c minor if you're a real one
strauss. idk i just like strauss
vaughan williams. honestly not my thing to play but with the orchestra accompaniment it really is something special to listen to
also honorable mention has to go out to the grunge concerto by scott mcallister. i heard someone play two movements of this at oboe camp a couple summers ago and it's like...the concentrated essence of contemporary composition. it is So
