#Real Ideal Music
Note
Tbh I never read that far in DOTC but I heard so much about star flower from fandom that now hearing about it directly from you I feel so cheated. I was promised a femme fatale.. tho in hindsight considering how much these writers hate women I probably shouldn't have gotten my hopes up
I WISH we got a femme fatale. It would have been incredibly cathartic for her to make herself alluring to Clear Sky, turning his worst traits against him and getting both power and revenge. For Thunder to bond to her over it, reaching the conclusion in the end that they both had terrible parents that they need to reject.
but, knowing the Erins, they would have just had Clear Sky kill her violently and gratuitously for ever tricking him. Like how he gouged Willow Tail's eyes out. So... I guess we were doomed either way.
Anyway im cooking
#Bone babble#Anyway yeah. I dont recommend reading further it's bad.#It's bad enough in books 1 - 3 knowing where it's all going and that every woman is going to die violently for male arcs#But 4 - 6 are just infuriating#Read Book 4 for One Eye and change the ending to snake killing clear sky and that's the ideal experience#''Im so glad that this is all over and ive learned nothing.''#And then Snake's paw makes contact with Clear Sky's face and the ending music cuts in#Lmaooooo Jojo's Roundabout cuts in#I want to thread a needle on Starf being a victim like in canon BUT ALSO allowing her to be the badass I think she should have been#Because like. I love her and feel for her as is in-canon#But my strong opinion is that she SHOULD have gotten violent moments and done REAL messy things#Unlike canon which equates her doing literally NOTHING wrong with Clear murdering 3 women and shoving his kid's face in a wound

5 - Corinthian, Rose Walker, Desire of the Endless
9 - Donald Pierce, Ty Shaw, Steve Murphy
5 - go on a six hour road trip with (no car radio, you choose who drives), sit next to on a six hour plane flight, sit across from on a six hour train journey
mm...once i placed the Corinthian i felt good about deciding the other two. CLEARLY gotta get in a car with the Corinthian. will that road trip end with me dead? yeah, probably. BUT i think he'd have a fun phone playlist. also he'd be the one driving, most likely, not because i can't but because i assume he'd have a much cooler car than i ever will. ideal road trip partner, imho. Jed obviously had a fun time!
Rose for the flight. i HATE flying, esp. "long flights" (for me, that's anything 4+ hours), i usually get red-eyes when possible so i can sleep. so i trust that either Rose and i could politely do our own things for most of the flight (also we're both on the petite end - VERY handy because, uh, sorry to her but she will be in the middle seat because i always get a window seat but at least we won't be cramped like every time i end up sitting next to a dude who's 6 ft and miserable). OR we could talk about books/whatever she's writing. i'd happily rubber duck for Rose Walker. if the flight is 6 hours, are we going to the UK? i'd have a bunch of questions for her if she's going for family history stuff, so long as she's cool with that.
Desire for the train. this is mostly because i assume any sort of extended trip with Desire involves sex and i'd be less squicked out about that in a train bathroom vs a plane bathroom. i do NOT trust Desire's taste in music, so no car playlist privileges. we'd have fun gossiping about the other passengers. if this is a six hour train trip through some part of the U.S., they'd be a fun distraction from All Of The Farmland (inevitable).
9 - watch a soap opera with, go to a play with, watch your favourite movie with
soap opera goes to Pierce. that bitch loves a good telenovela, i'm sure. we could make it a weekly thing. he's got theories about where Vanessa's arc is going, i've got the latest chisme on his coworkers. win-win.
Steve Murphy is so...old-fashioned, in some respects, that i'd want to go to a play with him. OBVIOUSLY it would be something queer (maybe we just go all out and see "Angels in America"). unlike Pierce, he doesn't gab the entire time, and he buys me a drink at intermission. he's quiet and profoundly, visibly uncomfortable the entire time. afterward we go to the nearest diner and he makes awkward comments on the parts he thinks were done well. i eat a stack of pancakes and stare at him.
(even more ideal than a play...a musical. i DO think Steve Murphy would low-key enjoy a musical, even if he pretended it was silly. what musical would i take Steve to? the 2023 revival of "Merrily We Roll" or maybe a Dave Malloy thing)
i'm trying to decide what my favorite movie is in this context but regardless it goes to Ty Shaw. if it's something overwhelmingly sincere, like LOTR, he's definitely already seen it and goes into the rewatch with sweet enthusiasm. if it's something in the vein of "made just for me, horse," i.e. The Social Network or Challengers, then we end up having really intense sex somewhere around Act 2. either way, he brings beer/popcorn and i either bake cookies or smuggle a bunch of candy into the local theater.
send me a number and three names
#ask games#Ty Shaw = ideal bf/date/fwb#Rose being next to me on a plane is a real extension of trust and love#i want Coco's classic car from the Collectors arc more than ANYTHING (except a '64/2014 Camero)#i don't think his music taste is GOOD per se but it's FUN and we'd be doing carpool karaoke#(''horse...Desire can OBVIOUSLY sing'' which is why we're NOT doing car karaoke together duh)#evenmyhivemindisempty#sandman#donald pierce#ty shaw#steve murphy

not the explicit album nor the clean album, but a secret third thing (comprised of only the swears I like and think are artistically effective)
#this is me admitting i need a music tag#like the clean version of vigilante shit?? simply ain’t it fam!!!#but also maroon frankly in an ideal world should be “real lasting legacy” FOLLOWED BY “real fucking legacy”#it truly is a secret third thing

anyway. re: chappell roan and the possibility of asking my friend to go see her with me. i’ve decided not to even ask and just not go <3
#i know she’d probably say yes to going but i really genuinely feel like once we’d be there she’d hate it#and i’d be too embarrassed to sing along to casual while she’s right next to me and doesn’t know the songs.#like call me crazy but if i’m gonna go to a real concert i would ideally like it to be with someone who likes the music as much as i do#will i inevitably be sad about my quest for the ideal holding me back from experiencing the simple mundane? perhaps.

ok im listening to the doc and wow this dude really needs to move on from the 80s and get a life... BUT also the doc is trying to make it seem like all teens in the 80s 'identified' with these characters? is that true for you guys? i never did. but i also didnt identify with clue*less or even vero*nica mars which was pretty solidly my era. the doc is trying to claim that this hegemony of 'identification' is a good thing and that the multiple options of today is making it harder for teens to relate to each other as a group. but the doc is saying this from the pov of a rich white dude. i would argue that today's much broader representation - watching a korean american girl starring in her own teen girl rom com where she is shown to look past the racism of the 80s movies in order to enjoy sixteen c*andles.... I think that is a million times better than what came before. the definition of who could tell stories in the 80s was so much more narrow, it was absurd. and to all the boys was blatantly critiquing that. it was supposed to be sad that lara jean is forced to endure stereotypes just to get her movie romance fix. it's also notable in that movie that lara jean identified most with books, where you could kind of imagine a main character however you wanted even if technically you knew they didnt look like you.
tldr my question to my other 30 somethings would be if 'br*at pack' was ever a bad thing in your lifetime and if you actually identified with these kids in the movies who seemed to have no direction or care in life beyond their tiny little suburban world. cause that was certainly never me as a teen lol. fascinating to watch and fun to imagine living as but not relatable.
#jrnlsht#its like people who think miss swifts music is enjoyed by teen girls because they all identify with it#rather than it just being an appealing ideal and simple narrative to enjoy more than real life#also EVERYONE i knew growing up looked at the bra*t pack affectionately like breakfast*c*lub was idolized#it was a good story! it was fun to watch!#maybe 80s kids really did grow up that sheltered with a small world?#growing up in the 90s we were painfully aware of our place in the world and that even as children we had to have goals in life#and that there was no time for fucking around#but we also had 9*/11 and the poltical fallout which sparked debates at the middle school lunch table#i imagine teens nowadays are probably even more aware of global conflict around them than I was#or maybe my group of friends were just weird and everybody around us were clueless without our realizing#i dont think so though i give teenagers more credit than that#i mean i was younger than 10 when people started asking what college i was going to#not my parents btw im talking total strangers#my dad never put any pressure on me to do anything it was not his style#his style was disappointment if i ever put a toe out of line lol#like yes of course you arent going to college sure thats fine but still if you dont take the hardest classes and#get straight As you will shame me#which 100% worked i idolized my dad#and then i went to one of the top colleges in the country like it was easy 🤣

I finally saw the mean girls musical (the movie one) I have so many fucking thoughts oh my god
#thoughts#oni talks#mean girls 2024#I think I may be the only person to kind of like it? like don’t get me wrong it is kinda ROUGH but it has so much potential and there’s bits#and pieces that I actually really enjoy or wish they had more of or just aahh#I’ve been nonstop thinking about the ideal version in my head like there’s so much potential obviously I’m biased by like a lot#since for one I know I tend to like stuff other people hate or don’t like but for two this sequel was weirdly way more relatable so maybe#I’m just projecting from my own personal experiences but Idc the POTENTIAL THERES SO MUCH ID WANNA DO INSTEAD#like there’s so many little details and characterizations that I wish was expanded on or fleshed out and it’s just like it feels like either#half baked or that it’s gone through too many edits it’s like it’s scared to exist?? like there’s some differences I love and wish they lol#leaned into but it’s like it was terrified to be too different? or like they were rushing the end especially#like in my ideal form it’s a tv show coz I think they honestly have enough that could be genuinely expanded in a way more interesting way#via that format probably not like a super extended series like you COULD but you’d definitely need more expansion but I could see the potent#but like idk one SOLID musical season with expanded character story and not like one of those rush cram shows like a good solid one#like Regina’s characterization is so fascinating but also feels like slightly off and like they could’ve leaned way more into things?#like I think keeping Regina as a closeted lesbian gives the greatest potential and interest for an expanded story#like I loved maybe the first half of the movie the most like that one song she sang to manipulate Aaron would work so much more perfectly if#she’s singing it about/to Cady? I also think in my ideal brain an cool flashback episode for Janis and Regina would be so cool coz there’s#so much you could flesh out in a flashback than you could in a retelling which while I do like the retelling since it lets you imagine thing#I just! potential! I also want more of them interacting and I do think changing Janis to be a lesbian works if they leaned more into it?#I also think in my ideal form janis would have more comeuppance or acknowledgement of her shit? I also think an arc of Regina coming out#like one thing they missed from the original is Regina playing soccer at the end & I think they could hint more towards that and maybe lean#more into her at home life in an expanded story way coz her mom is clearly like… yikes. granted maybe some of my views on the movie are too#biased by personal experience but like the way she snaps at her mom usually in my experience isn’t out of nowhere? like parents behind#closed doors. or frustrations with what her mom has clearly been putting on her the way she tells her mom not to talk about her body is very#like idk a lot of the characters in this version feel more real to me bc they act really similar to people I know irl so the expanded story#could be cool. another one that in my ideal brain would have more is Gretchen and especially her relationships with Regina as well as with#that one guy and her parents I wanna see more of how that works and her arc to feel more meaningful when she dumps him & mentions family#also as much as I didn’t care much for the straight plot stuff there’s 100% missed potential there that I could see in the differences like#iirc in the original it’s regular algebra not AP calc which I think could’ve been used as an interesting characterization opportunity for

Just saw one of the worst touhou takes imaginable ( not on here but in a yt community post of all things :/) hating on the beast plotline as a whole bc they don't like touhou commenting on real world issues.
Yea . Touhou, the series that has NEVER referenced or commented on real life issues. Just don't think too hard about the plot of some of the games or look at any of the print works or hifuu I guess.
Oh right.. most touhou fans already don't do any of that.
#touhou#dont go after the person if you find the post#it just annoys the hell outta me when people insist touhou commenting on irl issues is somehow a new and strange thing#my brother in christ touhou is just zun just grabbing whatever the fuck he thinks is interesting at the moment#and making cool music and video game and shit about it#no shit theres gonna br references to real life issues . jesus fuck#its usually stuff like ''capitalism is making things kinda suck and be less awesome actually''#or ''thought leaders take advantage of vulnerable people to spread their ideals with little regard for who it hurts in the process''#go read the strange creators interview about hsifs. especially where he talks about what he wanted to do with okina.

just went full ham and designed a villainsona for rottmnt wahaha
figured it would be fun to fill out a theme following four guardians. we got turtles, we got dragons... so my guys is based around the white tiger (백호)
the bit im committing to is he's just taking advantage of the fact that everyone in the universe has the cybersecurity of a wet paper bag. i mean LOOK at the passwords people are using! theyre basically begging to get their servers compromised!!!!!
#rottmnt#art#sorry this is kind of self inserty idk if people appreciate that in the main tags#just an excuse to draw more cool jackets tbh#debating if i want to fully lean in and get Mutant'd#itd be later if at all like ghostbear#go kitty mode#not sure what fun power id get#if i wanna stay with the theme... maybe something to do with enduring hits and then releasing that energy out elsewhere#or like short span time travel??#i dont want to be too op im ok with being sillay and gimmicky#maybe just lean into aesthetics and have cool electricity where i move real fast and claw people wit some shock#intro ep would be something super sillay like i hack into the teetlez' accounts and make them post a bunch of embarrassing shit#they take it real personal and try and get back but realize all their home tech and donnies battle tech is compromised#just plays meme music and goes on the fritz#spend half the episode fighting their own electronics#its happening across the city#maybe something fun where theyre forced to cut a deal/temp truce with the purple dragons to weed out his location#eventually they find him and beat his ass#ideally an excuse to frame out a bunch of fun ROOFTOP FIGHTS#rooftop fights sorely underrepresented but one of my favorite action locations

I love how Rowan and Ambrose both have such strong trans vibes but in like opposite directions
#both are performing masculinity but the difference is that Rowan is doing it because he has something to prove#and then Ambrose is just in denial#Rowan trying to convince everyone (himself included) that he doesn’t care what his dad thinks but also trying to be the king’s ideal son#Ambrose trying to convince everyone he’s a ‘real man’ so he can try and avoid questioning if that’s even accurate#i have a lot of thoughts about both of them maybe I’ll write about it eventually#ambrose bassford#rowan astor#the art of pleasing princes#adamandi#taopp#taopp rowan#adamandi Ambrose#adamandi musical#melliot#ghost posts from their box#musical theatre

Sam Cooke did a cover of "The Riddle Song," a folk ballad that goes back to the 15th Century! Wonderful.
#sam cooke#child 46#folk music#child ballads#music#i want to understand the ways collins draws on folk ballads; i feel like they give real weight to her love stories in particular#since the ballads handle romance as a complex human thing that can be quite dark#though this ballad is so lovely and sweet so there's that too#i think it's important that love stories can express#many different things#and not just ideal relationships

you know sometimes I feel very lucky that I got tinnitus so early in my life that I literally don't remember not having it cuz when you spend your whole life thinking something is normal you just learn how to live with it even if objectively it fucking sucks
#like ideally I never would have gotten tinnitus at all#but I'd rather just not know what real silence is like#cuz if I knew I could have that rather than the constant eeeeeeee#it would probably drive me insane#but now I just put some music on or something

saw a reel of some kids at an orchestra camp that looked suspiciously like the one i was forced to go to one year... worst experience of my life!!!
#when i tell you i think there are things stemming from that experience! my parents were actually so wrong for making me go...#my mom CRIED bc i kept insisting that i didn't want to do it bc i a) was never That into music especially not CHAMBER music#b) knew that i would not know anyone and would be stuck in the middle of nowhere with people who were already friends from previous years#c) was only even given an audition bc my teacher knew the staff and their other oboist wasn't able to go that year and they needed one#d) WAS THIRTEEN AND WANTED TO SPEND THE SUMMER WITH MY FRIENDS#i do actually think it caused me real psychic damage attending that like the fact that Everyone was already friends with everyone else...#i came with no friends and i left with no friends! and when i tried to talk to the other girls in my cabin i could tell they were like...#why are you trying to be in our friend group. there was a girl who was nice to me but i was not her friend very clearly#also i was soooo out of my depth there it was Rough for me fr and like i Knew i was out of my depth i had no illusions about that#i knew i would be which is why i was like yeah this is Not for me#i still cannot get over my mom crying about this like this wasn't some great life changing opportunity...#my parents really have and always have had these Ideals they place on me bc They think xyz would be nice#or they wish they could have done it like ??? okay why does that have anything to do with me#my dad keeps being like well *I* want you to go to grad school in mtl bc i like mtl and i want to visit 😁#like haha you're not funny actually 😁 first of all not a single damn thing is stopping you from going you can drive there whenever you want#secondly one of us does NOT want to be in mtl again 😁 and that one of us actually lived there before#also the way my parents constantly visiting me pissed me off to no fucking end... I'M NOT THE PROBLEM CHILD#worried that i just stay in my room like ???? okay??? but if i went out you'd flip bc what if it's unsafe. i LIKE staying home#and i HATED mtl so no way in hell was i going to go do shit especially not at night in the WINTER are you insane#like yeah i was super depressed. that was unrelated to me staying in my room like my room was my Space#anyway all this to say i'm setting the fuck boundary this time around like i actually dgaf i'm an adult and again#not your problem child so if you could stop projecting that onto me just bc HE fucked up when he was in school....#parents will be like why can't you be independent and then literally not let you be i 🫶🏻 it#i do also hold it against the boy child and my dad for this 'you can only go to schools within a 6 hour drive'#which is only a rule my sisters and i had and maybe if the boy child wasn't a fuck up i couldve not had it but you know#he ruined any chance of that but my dad when i was applying for college was like oh it can be anywhere :) and then was like lol no#and then was like well for grad school you can go anywhere and then when it was brought up last time went lol no :)#so i'm going to have to bring lol yes :) energy cuz...

#thing is i run out of motivation soooo fast#but god. i dont think a single musical ive seen live so far has had a real costuming or casting miss#like everyone fit their characters soooo well#(<- still thinking about östgötateaterns Waitress)#thetalogs#also wanna draw my Platonic Ideal character designs. like göteborgsoperans Wicked was BRILLIANTLY put together and it inspired me so much..

a few nights ago at a party i met a fellow anthropologist and a free flow of names and theories from my studies came out of me. society went downhill from the moment we separated thought and action, research and experience, and i didn't want to spend my life, ironically enough for my discipline, sitting at a desk. there's a kitsune mask hanging on my wall. damn i miss travelling. i miss that.
#btw one of the reasons i respect lawrence of arabia is because#he is one of the last examples of a man of action AND contemplation#which is a personal ideal#every once in a while my mediterranean genes wake up and go 'hey wassup lets go find ithaca' /benny hill music#marlocandia.txt#maybe the only real anthropology today is well done travel / investigative journalism..
