#and play mozart for them and just kind of let them do their thing in the bookshop. away from the books of course.

[everysongineverykey]

i love how unfatherly crowley and aziraphale both are when it comes down to it. sure aziraphale is more than willing to give the young people in his life help and advice and be their friend but he and crowley spent six years (eleven in the book) practically raising a kid (you just know his parents weren't around that often) and by the end they didn't even like him. crowley even suggested they just fucking kill him. he turned three kids into lizards for annoying him right after he destroyed their house. like it was that or kill them obviously but he did NOT hesitate with the newts. that's so funny to me. they're just inherently disinclined to parenthood. we need more characters like them actually

Dean-in-progress Part 2

More adventures in the continuing development of my latest Dean portrait!

In this stage, I did a little bit more work on his mouth and chin, which I wasn't happy with at all.

And then, enough's enough with the dark purple. I need to work on the light, which will give me a better idea of the form. I know if I put light in, I'll somehow see it differently. And maybe some brown mid-tones. Both of these ideas might be a mistake, of course! It might be more effective with just the dark purple on the purple paper. But I'm doing it anyway! Yay!

Oh. Okay. Well, I think that was the right thing to do. Especially the hint of brown on his lower lip. It think the brown might be good for kind of reflected light? For softening edges maybe and for bringing life to the colour scheme. Or it could, of course, go horribly wrong. But that's half the fun.

Let's do some more. And, for the next progress shot, I'll edit so that it looks more like what I actually see.

Well, I think this is making good progress. Am I satisfied with it as a finished portrait? Not remotely! And now (rubs hands together), now comes the stage that always reminds me of that bit in Amadeus, where Mozart's dictating the Confutatis of his Requiem to Salieri. No, I'm not comparing my artistic skill to Mozart's musical genius (snort, chortle), but as a teen I had a massive crush on Mozart (yes, really) and I loved that movie, even though a lot of it is dramatic licence. Anyway, I get to a stage in many of my drawings where the big chunkies and finger smudges aren't quite cutting it. And so I bring in the pencils! And it always makes me think of Salieri asking, 'That's it?" And Mozart replies, with a smirk, 'No. Now for the real fire." The pencils!

All these options... I think the Payne's grey, which is actually a dark purple, like the chunky pastel I've been using. And for something pretty bright and luminous, actually that pale pink one is usually effective.

But don't be thinking I'm going to be holding the pencils in a writing grip and getting all tiny and delicate and detailed. Oh no! That's just not me!

Mostly, I like to grab hold and scrub using an overhand grip with lots of pressure. The only time I really need to use a writing grip is when I want a really strong highlight in a very specific small area and if I stuck with the overhand grip, I'd probably either miss my mark, or more likely break the tip off. I do that all the time! There's lots of vague, light softening too, though, and that needs a looser grip, getting as much of the side of the pastel in contact with the paper as possible.

And here's my third main strategy, which sometimes ties me down too much to a photographic representation, but often is the way I spot errors, because after a while your eye just can't see them. I bring up my progress shot and the original reference alongside, like this:

My poor phone gets very confused, but look how easy it is to spot the glaring, obvious discrepancies! I mean, wtaf? For heaven's sake - what have I been doing? So, yeah, there are thing that look pretty okay, but that mouth! And that chin! Still not right, are they? And there's still not anywhere near enough Deanishness! I'm going to focus in on the eye, though, and see what I can do. And the reference won't enlarge, but if you do it in photo editor it will! Neat little trick! Aha!

And now some more work on his mouth and a general run-around with a soft skin-toned pastel to soften the edges. Or soften them in some places, because now I really need to think about which edges are hard and which are soft and how. It's a crucial stage and can make a massive difference. And I'm playing with his hair too, because playing with Dean's hair is so much fun.

So this is what I've got so far. Am I satisfied? No! I most certainly am not. It's getting there. But there are loads of things to improve on yet. And it's still not Deanish enough! It just isn't. Look back at the reference. His mouth and his eye in particular are expressing very familiar Deanisms, aren't they? Sadness, resignation, probably lots of internal negative thoughts - almost certainly in John Winchester's voice. And I haven't captured that. I'm not saying that in any 'oh no, I'm so bad!' way. I'm saying it with relish, because I'm going to keep plugging away until I can see that emotion and make it as real as possible. And I'm going to enjoy that process and disappear into it completely and get into an almost meditative state, where the world and my problems melt away.

But not tomorrow. Because tomorrow is chemo day and the one really big positive of chemo day is that there's so much hanging around that it's possible to get loads of fanfic written, which is another really great way (actually even more effective that drawing) of disappearing from this world entirely and living, for a while, with Sam and Dean and a tiny-Jack, and tomorrow I'll get to the bit where Cas pops up. Nice.

[natimiles]

Though I am curious to knkw what exactly make you pick that suitors as your faves like what attracted you toward them and yes I mean all of them sorry if it is a long question 👉👈

Ooooohohohoooooo, Giulie…. That’s a dangerous question, little lady!

This is gonna be long. You asked for all of them, and all of them I shall give.

There will be spoilers too, soooo… I’ll put it under the cut HASIUEHIASUESA. You feel free to skip any of them you haven’t played yet or don’t want to read hihi

It’s time to shine! *cracks knuckles*

Isaac

WHERE TO BEGIN? OH MY GAWD, ASHIESUAHEAS. My lovely physicist… How could I not love him? He is the love of my life! He is shy, a contrarian, socially awkward, and adorkable.

He says he doesn’t need anyone and he just wants to be alone, but I think he is the most touch and love starved out of everyone in this mansion. He has spent his whole life being alone. It’s more a thing he’s used to than what he really wants (and I think that’s one of the reasons why Arthur can’t leave him be and keeps teasing him; he can read Isaac like a book). And it’s so beautiful to see him realize that!

He has the purest reactions sometimes. And his side stories really add to the whole thing, like when they go to town together after MC takes care of him, and he:

ADORABLE! RIGHT? RIGHT? UGH! I WANNA BITE HIS CHEEKS!

He could barely look MC in the eye in the prologue, and look where he ended up! He grew so much during his route. I think it has the right amount of drama and sad background.

When he finally falls in love, he is so bewildered by the idea. He still has a hard time expressing himself with words (and he says so in his last birthday), but it’s endearing how he tries his best.

And besides being smart, nice, gentle, adorable, cute, kind, caring, protective, and a little jealous (but also never stopping MC from doing anything she wants!)... He is pleasant to look at. I mean, I LOVE HIS EYES! He has the prettiest eyes, in my opinion. Sometimes while playing, he appears on the screen, and I just stop and stare into his eyes for a whole minute...

I love his soft voice and how he stutters sometimes.

I love him.

Mozart

I like a good tsundere, and Mozart is one for half of his route. Half because when it’s time for romance and he accepts his feelings, he becomes really forward about it. He says what he wants and what he likes, and he encourages MC to do the same: speak her mind, don’t be afraid to express what she likes, and don’t be ashamed if she's feeling aroused (this might sound funny, but it’s really important).

He pretends he doesn’t care, but he is always taking care of MC. He tries to feign annoyance, but then you look and he is blushing! HIASUEHAS. He is adorable!

When he finally falls in love and he realizes… God, I think Mozart literally running away to not bite MC is one of the best reactions. And then he comes back to play for her the song he composed because of her… LIKE?? It’s obvious you’re also a little contrarian and you actually want to be with her, Mozart!!!! PLEASE! ASIUEHASIEA.

He pretends to be nonchalant and not care, but we know he does! In Jean’s route, you can see how much he cares about the ones he loves because he can’t stand the idea of MC thinking poorly of his bestie. He doesn’t do it the best way, but… Let’s consider the intention and not the action, ASIUEHSAIEHAS.

He is caring, kind, and adorable. And also overprotective, possessive, and very jealous. He is one step closer to being yandere sometimes… But he does it in a cute way (Does it make sense?), and it makes it funny and kind of endearing.

I love his voice! Like omg, it’s so good! I love hearing him giggle.

Bonuses: His reaction to eating chocolate for the first time is so cute! And in one event, he is commanding MC to do things (it’s the one where he commands her to lick blanc from his beautiful fingers), and he says her blood is something he could never command her to give to him. Talk about boundaries and consent!

Arthur

He is so much more than he lets on! I’m playing his route for the 3rd time now, to get his side stories and try to get some premiums.

His facade falls fast when he blushes and gets all insecure when he has to apologize for biting her. It’s also nice how he stated he had reasons he now knew were wrong. If you count being wrong as losing, it means so much! This man hates losing, and he’s proud of his deduction skills, so… to admit he was wrong? Wow!

Also, very, very kind! I mean, all of them are, but I’ll repeat it HIUASHESAU. His story is well-written, I guess it helps too.

I love that he can be forward, but also gets a little flustered and desperate when he thinks MC is going home, HAISUEHSA. I LOVE THAT WHOLE SCENE!

Ieyasu

He has a huge and soft spot in my heart because he is my very first otome husband. I actually started playing Masamune, my phone was robbed, and then I started playing again and picked Ieyasu. And we’ve been married since then (:

My little porcupine is adorable. The reason I love a good tsundere is because he is one.

But contrary to Mozart, he expresses himself more through actions than words, although I think he tries to learn to do it with words (kinda like Isaac sometimes).

He is the youngest, and although they don’t say anything about it (that I remember), I think MC is his first relationship. He cares so much about her (and everyone else, even Mitsunari), and takes care of her while pretending it’s nothing. And when he listens to Hideyoshi and gives her the earrings as a reward… He really didn’t want to risk her disliking him! And it’s so precious to me.

He is kind, sweet, smart, and really strong. He just doesn’t realize it. I love how he grows with and because of her. His main route is almost slow (I haven’t read his sequel yet) compared to the new warlords and all the drama they can have, but I think it’s just as beautiful.

Also, I love how he helps MC to grow too. He teaches her how to shoot arrows, and I love how his MC just goes to battle to help him in the Eternal Ending.

Mitsuhide

I love all the sadness and drama. I love that he falls first and harder.

He is such a mystery! I never really hated him, but I was curious about why he acted the way he does. So I guess this curiosity already drew me to him. And when they released his route, GOD IT IS SO GOOD.

One of the best-written routes (in my opinion), because when you read it for the second time with his povs, you see everything in a different light. I love how we come to see he’s just been showing his true feelings the whole route.

He loves his MC so much, it’s painful. He cares so much about her. And I’ll state it: he is the most romantic suitor ever. EVER. He spent the whole route being romantic, even if we didn’t know about it. And when they get together, it’s so good. He is really forward about his feelings, he isn’t afraid to say or show how much he loves her, and he encourages her to do the same. I can’t say enough how much I love Mitsuhide for opening his heart and not being ashamed about it.

He is also so smitten it makes him look cute. When they’re at the festival and MC says she cares about him, and he starts walking a little clumsily, ASUIEHASIUE. IT’S ADORABLE! Like she can break his character so easily, it’s lovely.

He lies, he deceives, he betrays… but then he goes to her window to give the fucking bellflower pin. GOD, it hurts so good just thinking about it.

And he looks smoking hot with the red eyeliner.

Kanetsugu

Friends said I’d love him, and GOD HOW I DID. I think I fell faster and harder than Mitsuhide, ASIEHASUIEHSA.

His fangs played a huge part, I’m not gonna lie. I love some fangies! But the way he treats his MC is what got me real hard. The way he always offers his hand and waits for her to accept it, how he doesn’t do anything without her consent.

He needs lots of hugs and therapy. And I love how he grows in his route! He and MC help each other so much to fight their inner demons (or wolf, in his case hehe), it’s really nice. The whole time he thinks he doesn’t deserve to be happy, when he smiles, when he blushes… it’s all so adorable and beautiful! I think it’s impossible not to love him!

He is loving, caring, kind, and pretty forward. I love how he just says “I’m in love with you” like he’s in a business meeting, AHUIEHASUIEHAS.

I love a character who is all stoic but gets emotional about their love. And I love how they show this little detail in his sprites, how his eyes lose their light when he goes berserk about her.

Plus he bites and I like it. Gotta count that too.

Luka

We can bond over baking and cooking!

I love that he thinks he’s another lonely wolf who doesn’t really want to be alone, but finds out it’s the opposite along his route.

I love that he is shy and runs from MC. I love his blushing face, his beautiful eyes, his dyed hair, and his natural one. He looks so pretty with his natural silver hair!

I love how he and Isaac can be similar, and I think that's what attracts me to him the most.

Jonah

Alright. Jonah used to be 2nd and Luka 1st, but now I’m playing his route again… And I think I might change it (OMG).

He sounds arrogant and selfish, but he is just really proud of himself. And it’s not a bad thing!

Also a tsundere with the “silver hair and beauty mark”. He and Mozart are very similar, in my opinion, and I guess it adds to my love for him, AHSUIEHAS.

Plus, he is hot, and his voice is so good. When he kind of whispers, it gives me goosebumps.

Ellis

I haven’t played Ikemen Villains yet, but I’ve read some translations. And this man already has my heart.

He is so sweet and cares so much about MC. He sounds almost innocent and clueless sometimes, which is cute.

I loved the event where he got the handcuffs and gave MC the keys. It spoke volumes to me!

I’ll find out more about him when I read his route translations and when they release the EN server so I can play it.

His voice already has me in a chokehold. It’s soft and so, so good. UGH!

Levi

I did a whole post appreciating how smart he is, and it counts a lot here.

He is annoying in the beginning? Yes. I’d probably fight him, ASUIHESUIAHE. But then I can’t help it! I love a shy, awkward, otaku, and gamer guy! And Levi is the whole combo.

He is so sweet! I still haven’t gotten over that event where he programs a whole game to propose to MC. Like, look at the extent of his love!

He is another favorite who has a hard time saying it, but he shows it! He can get bold when he needs to, and he blushes furiously in the most loving way. I love when he goes “WOOAAH”, it’s so dumb and lovely.

I love his stupid hair, his eyes, and how his nail polish always changes from teal to purple.

I love his demon form and I won’t elaborate that to keep it sfw.

Simeon

He is so dumb. He is a grandpa. He says the most random things with a smile. He’s hot when angry. 

He is so precious! I love his eyes, like… most beautiful eyes for Obey Me, I guess. It’s a tie with Levi. I called him dumb, but he’s actually pretty smart.

He cares very much about MC. He talks about his feelings like he’s discussing the weather sometimes, but other times he blushes. And it gets to me every time.

He’s silly, kind, caring, loving, gentle, and a little bit jealous. He’s just discreet about his possessiveness; you gotta read between the lines sometimes.

The feelings I have for his voice. It’s not even a crush, it’s like falling off a cliff.

Satan

I’m not sure about this one? HASIUEHSAIU. LIKE. I love that he is smart and goofy at the same time. He isn’t on the “must protect” team, but he is one of my favorites.

I love how he blushes when he needs to talk about his feelings or when MC kisses him, HAIUSHESAIU. SO SILLY!

Kinda my favorites

Alright, these are favorites, but more like… They’re adorable, and I have a strong urge to hug and protect them from the world. I’d give my life to make sure they could smile because they’re so innocent, clueless, cute, and adorable. They’re angels!

Jean: my favorite thing is how he says “marorons” and when he writes his name IN HUGE LETTERS in his notebook because “the bigger you write it, the easier to know who it belongs to”

Shakespeare: recently added here. He is so sweet! And he is very forward with his feelings when they finally get together. It’s… wow, very wow.

Charles: he needs hugs and therapy.

Mitsunari: angel. Breaks my heart when he’s the love rival for Kenshin.

Kenshin: he needs hugs and therapy #2

And one final thing that I love from all of them (and I think all suitors are like this, but sshhh HIASHUESA) is they always compliment their MC about her personality, or things beyond just her looks.

Can you hear me screaming?

Mozart breaks me every fucking time with this.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk 🤍🤍

Kinktober Day 8

WELCOME BACK TO KINKTOBER. This event killed me for a whole year and I'M BACK. The prompt list is made by @xxsycamore

If you want to read 2021's Kinktober the masterlist is on my pinned post.

Happy reading sluts. And remember to reblog

8: Exhibitionism  |  Getting caught

You didn't necessarily like bathing with someone else. It was like your alone time, but Leonardo insisted on joining you.

You sank down into the water, to the point where the water was just under your nose. Your eyes were closed and you are content. That is until you felt something grab and hold onto your breasts.

Your eyes shot open only to realize it's Leonardo. He had his arms around you from behind to 'hold into you'. You closed your eyes again only for him to immediately start maggassing them. It felt good, you can't lie about that. You let out little hums of approval and he kept doing it.

Then his chest touched your back and you were sitting in his lap. His hands moved down your body, only getting to your waist before you took his hand and put them back in your boobs.

You lift your head for your mouth to come out of the water. "Did I say you could stop?"

"You never told me to start, cara mia."

"Then start. And don't stop."

It was weird to think your boobs needed a massage just like the rest of your body, but not having to carry the weight of them was the best part.

You wiggle your butt against his lap to get yourself 'comfortable', but it's really just to tease. He pulled the two of your back to the ledge so he can sit and have you properly on his lap.

You just wiggle your butt more.

"Cara mia.." it sounds like he is giving a warning. "You know what's going to happen if you keep doing that."

"What?" You try to act innocent "Your cock is going to perk up and harden for me?" You look over your shoulder at him with a smirk.

He definitely wasn't expecting that kind of response out of you. "Say something like that again and I won't even wait for another wiggle out of you."

"Like what? I'm just talking about your thick, hard cock poking me," you give him an innocent smile.

Next thing you know your on your knees facing the ledge of the bath. Your knees are in the step Leonardo was previously sitting on.

His hands are in your hips and you feel his cock poking you. "Is this what you are talking about, cara mia?"

"Y..yes," your voice quivers as he slides into you. One of his hands moved under you to rub your clit. You let out a shriek from the sudden stimulation. It didn't help that it echoes in there.

He always gets rough with you right away. Holding you tightly and being rough with his thrusts. But this time the water got in the way and slowed him down a bit. The water splashed between you.

As Leonardo got adjusted to the water he did pick up the pace, causing you to cover your mouth so you didn't get too loud.

Everyone uses the bath to relax, and you honestly don't know how often the water cycles out. The last thing you want is someone finding out you two had sex in there.

Leonardo grabs your breasts again, pinching and rubbing your nipple between his fingers.

"Leonardo..!" He knew just how to play you, how to get all the right noises and reactions out of you.

At this point it's your moans that are drowning out the sound of the water.

Very suddenly Leonardo stops moving all together and before you can ask what's wrong...

"What the hell are you two doing!"

Instant regret. Instant embarrassment. You didn't even want to look over to see who it was, but you knew from the voice. Out of everyone why did it have to be Mozart.

You wanted to drown yourself right then. Leonardo tries to just move against you to make it look like he was holding you. But Mozart wasn't dumb, be knew what was going on.

He disappeared as quickly as he came, shouting things in German that you couldn't understand nor would you want to.

It was quiet aside from the fountain in the middle of the bath.

"So..."

"No I don't want to keep going."

Yeah you were already caught, can't go any more down hill from there, but the mood was ruined.

Leonardo carefully slides out of you and takes a step back, giving a chuckle as you sink back into the water like you were before.

[leporellian]

one thing i do find interesting is that the whole don juan legend, in mozart’s day, had a very different cultural context and was much more well known.

of course these days ‘don juan’ is virtually synonymous with womanizing, and that obviously has been a hallmark as long as the folktale has existed, but don juan was just as well known for his death back in the day. it’s his death that nearly all of the old don juan plays point towards in their titles. even in tirso de molina’s original play, the writing is on the wall for this character from the moment he appears, with frequent warnings telling us the audience that Something will Happen. don juan/giovanni was always dead or in the process of dying, and that’s what people knew this story for too back in the day. (in fact, given the ending was always the most bombastic part of the plays, people very well likely went to don juan plays JUST for the ending.) all this is to say that the whole conversation of don giovanni’s fate should change from some kind of preventable spiral, or a deus ex machina, or a direct consequence, to something inevitable. something senseless and perennially unsatisfying and yet something that was determined from the very first note from a work.

abusers- particularly those we have some sort of complicated feelings for- rarely go out in divine, justice-driven blazes of glory. we often never get to fully understand them, or make peace with them, or even get some form of revenge. they are There, and then they are Gone. and the nature of death is that it never does make any full sense and no “closure” is ever really gotten. death is sudden even when you see it coming. we try so hard to make sense of those whom we love and hate, but then we realize all we are looking for is an answer that will never, ever come to us, and perhaps never even was.

all the characters in don giovanni are in some way facets of grief. leporello and elvira are obvious but there’s others. grief over never getting revenge. grief over never getting a chance to “win” over them. grief over the sudden understanding that death is the breaker of all social customs and that no “correct” way to do things will stop it. the kind of naïveté and desperate need to “prove” something that only comes from grief. there is grief beyond the understanding that a person was there and then not-there: grief of the understanding of what could have been.

this is why the ending of don giovanni works in spite of everything. because it is, in all its brutal fantastica, somberly realistic. nobody gets their chance to get revenge, or redeem the don? or even just get some kind of fitting closure. because that isn’t how any of this works, really. the best one can do is let go, as leporello and elvira are forced to.

i think there’s too many stories about grief focused on finding closure. when in reality sometimes closure never comes and we just have to learn to be okay with that. we have to be okay with the understanding that grief is an unanswered question.

don giovanni is a eulogy.

when I created this blog: i created this blog last year's ummer - solely for my practice, learn knowledge from other practitioners about my craft. i happen to love astrology too so it kind of stuck with me and my theme! i am continuously learning and mastering my craft but at the same time explore more.

other blogs: i have another tumblr blog but i forgotten what was the username but i do believe that i made that blog for roleplaying and posting my photo manipulation for a fandom i used to be in.

[sweetmilkbread]

Thanks for the tag @kulliare!

1. Were you named after anyone?

Nope! Not that I can think of. Though my url is named for the delicious bread I had all the time as a kid!

2. When was the last time you cried?

The exact date was May 30th lol. I remember it because me and my friends got together to watch the succession finale and when it got to the ending, (especially the music! Andante Risoluto gives me chills!) I teared up.

3. Do you have kids?

I don't! The idea of being a parent was never really my thing. But I'd always love to be a parent to some pets!

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Yes. When I'm around people I know, at least. Otherwise, I try not to use it.

5. What sports do you play/have you played?

Oh, this question is wasted on me lmao. I was the least sporty kid to exist, hated my phys ed classes and always made my team lose for everything. I have terrible balance and co-ordination skills so most sports are just not for me, but deep down I've always wanted to try out martial arts of some kind!

6. What's the first thing you notice about someone?

Hm...I'm a pretty self-conscious and socially anxious person, so I'd probably be busy panicking over what the other person thinks of me tbh 😭. Though something else I do notice is eye colour! Every kind of eye colour is so pretty!

7. Eye colour?

Brown

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Ohoho I love a scary movie! Give me a scary movie any day! I have such a fondness for horror movies and books. I finally watched The Lighthouse (2019) today and I loved it!

9. Any special talents?

At one point, years ago, I knew the whole Gary Come Home song from Spongebob. But in German.

10. Where were you born?

A hospital.

11. What are your hobbies?

Reading and writing are my immediate go-to's! They are both things that I've found solace in from a young age and I love doing them so much. I've been reading some really wonderful work lately (I'm a big Carmen Maria Machado fan) and it's pretty neat. Apart from that my hobbies are probably boring lol. I also love watching movies and TV shows, listening to music, cross-stitching and making mini zines.

12. Do you have any pets?

2 dogs! Both of whom I love with my whole heart!

13. How tall are you?

5'3....on a good day

14. Favourite subject in school?

English! (Yes, I'm predictable). But I also really loved my music classes. Even if I can't listen to Mozart without picturing all my study notes in my head.

15. Dream job?

This is a tough one. Maybe this is a cop-out, but ideally something that just pays the bills and lets me make enough to live happily. My absolute dream job though would be becoming a published author of some sort? Though it's way out of my league and probably doesn't pay extremely well unless you're lucky lol 😭 I can barely stick to a posting schedule for my fanfic, nevermind writing a whole book!

I haven't been on tumblr long (embarassing) so I don't know lots of mutuals, but I'm tagging @citrusgothic, @surfledblues and @iamcalmiamthestorm, if you want to join in the ask game (no pressure tho!) x

[necros-writing-stuff]

For the ask game, winter + crying?

Warnings: waxplay, a crop used on sensitive bits (gently), bondage, dacryphilia. Completely gender neutral. It's BDSM, but it's still kinda soft cause Winter comes off like they would be.

You've been so so good. Absolutely brilliant, suspended in the air by rope, a pulley system that Winter set up themself the perfect thing to change how high you are.

Rigging isn't something Winter gets to do often, but they do so love it when it comes around.

Your face looks down at the floor, a gag in your mouth. Your arms and legs are tied, with ropes around your torso to add support and reduce the chance of injury to your hips and shoulders. Your legs specifically had been tied in a way that had them wide, your genitals all exposed for them to play with.

Since you couldn't use a safe word, they'd come up with something else. You'd start humming a Mozart piece they'd taught you through the gag when you're done. You had yet to.

Even with the hot wax they'd poured on your back. The candles were special, made specifically for this kind of play. Hot enough to hurt, but not to burn and cause scars.

The crop they'd used to gently spank your genitals had you squirming much more, and was also what brought tears to your eyes. The vibrator inside of you wasn't helping. Winter had set it too low to get you off. Just a continuous hum withing your insides to make you leak and whine in desperation.

Their nails had left marks all across your body, Winter simply scraping them against you as they walked past to see you shiver.

You look so beautiful right now. Drooling around the gag, tears wetting your cheeks. Your eyes so dazed and unfocused. You deserve more. You deserve to finish this session.

Using their remote, Winter turns the settings up, listening as you yell out and your muscles clutch and release. Even your thighs begin to shake after a while. After the crop spanking, you're just too sensitive. It causes more tears. Oh but you love this so much, they can tell.

They come to stand in front of you, kneeling down and holding your face gently in their hands as they coo and pet you. Your tears wet the leather cloves they wear.

"That's it, just let it happen. Let it feel good. You're such a perfect little toy for me, aren't you?"

Your response is a weak nod, another whimper along with it. Its all that Winter needs. You're still listening to them, even in this state. This is why you're so wonderful for them.

As you finish, the ropes creak and groan from you moving so much. Winter doesn't punish it. You're allowed to do this. It'll only exhaust you more, make you soft and cuddly after. Winter needs that. Needs you to crawl into bed after and fall asleep on their chest. It's how they know that they didn't go too far.

They let you down as gently as they can after shutting off the vibrator and putting it away for cleaning. Next comes the gag. But you're still too far into sub-space to talk, so Winter lays you onto the couch they have in their room to rest as they run a bath for you. Not before they leave you with a kiss to your flushed cheeks. They can taste the salt still remaining, but the smile you flash them assures that you liked it.

You start talking again as Winter washes you, clearing the wax from your skin. Nothing too much, just remarking on how much you enjoyed the session. They adore the worship in your eyes as you look up at them.

That night they sleep well. How could they not, with you tucked under their chin, sated and spent? This is what Winter loves the most. Well. History comes close.

[ltleflrt]

i'm assuming you're talking about soul games. the thing about those games is that everyone starts at the same kind of difficulty no matter how bad or good they are. it's fair so if it's too hard for you and you get bored after a while maybe it's just not for you. i feel the same way about chess so i don't like playing it even if my family likes it. i play something else. it's as simple as that. there are honestly too many games that are more suitable to people of different play styles and soul games/games without difficulty changer are few in comparison. get good is really how to get used to that kind of game, it's part of it's mechanics. i don't understand hating on a game mechanics just because they're too hard when there other games to play with.

Oh you're one of those assholes. You will be blocked if you come back to my inbox after this.

I DID NOT SAY I DON'T LIKE THE MECHANICS.

I LIKE THAT PLAY STYLE. I. AM. NOT. HATING. ON. THAT.

THERE ARE GAMES THAT HAVE THAT PLAY STYLE WITH EASY MODES SO I CAN WORK UP TO HARD MODE.

BUT WHAT MIGHT BE UP UP X ON ONE GAME MIGHT BE LEFT DOWN Y ON ANOTHER GAME. SO PLAYING THE CONTROLS ON A MILDLY EASIER DIFFERENT GAME WILL NOT LET ME PRACTICE THE CONTROLS FOR THE HARD GAME THAT'S CAUGHT MY INTEREST.

NOT EVERYONE STARTS OUT THE SAME JUST BECAUSE THE GAME ONLY HAS ONE MODE, YOU ELITIST FUCK. IF I'VE NEVER PLAYED A GAME BEFORE AND YOU'VE BEEN PLAYING GAMES FOR A YEAR--HELL EVEN A DAY!--WE ARE NOT THE SAME. EVERYONE IS AT A DIFFERENT SKILL LEVEL, EVEN ELITIST FUCKHEADS. THE GAME ONLY HAVING ONE MODE DOES NOT DOES NOT DOES NOT DOES NOT MEAN IT'S THE SAME KIND OF DIFFICULTY. PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE HAS AN EFFECT ON HOW A GAME FEELS TO EACH PERSON.

I HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN THE HARD GAMES BECAUSE THE ENTRY POINT IS TOO HIGH.

I AM AN ADULT WITH A FULL TIME JOB AND MULTIPLE HOBBIES, I CAN ONLY SPEND SO MUCH TIME ON A SINGLE GAME.

SOMETIMES I GET PRETTY GOOD AT A GAME AND I HAVE TO TAKE A LONG BREAK, AND WHEN I COME BACK I'D LIKE TO TURN DOWN THE DIFFICULTY LEVEL SO I CAN GET BACK IN THE SWING OF THINGS BEFORE I'M BACK TO WHERE I LEFT OFF.

FUCK.

YOU.

You know what's a hard instrument to play? Violin. (ALL OF THEM ACTUALLY) When you start playing it, they teach you to play a song with open strings, no fingers. They teach you to read 4 notes on your sheet music. As you get good at that, you can start putting fingers down on the strings to make more notes. You start with the simple things first. One finger at a time. Until you're comfortable with it, and can use a second finger, then a third, they add more notes to your sheet music and more complicated keys, then eventually you work your way up to moving your fingers into different positions, and then eventually moving your whole goddamn hand. There's no guides, you can't do that shit by feel, you have to know the basic placements for your fingers but you have to practice getting the positions right AND knowing if you hit it correctly by listening.

No one hands you a violin and sheet music by Mozart because everyone who picks it up starts out at the same difficulty of holding it and putting their fingers on the strings. There's fucking progression.

I started out with Hot Cross Buns and ended up in competitions playing Beethoven. It was hard sometimes. I needed private lessons to learn to read the sheet music. I'd sometimes practice with one of my better friends during our lunch periods. Sometimes I couldn't get the fingering right on three measures of music unless I started reeeeally slow, and did it over and over and over until I naturally started speeding up, and eventually got to the point where I could play it just as well as the best players in the orchestra.

Oh, and when I started playing violin? I had a head start on everyone else in my class starting violin at the same time as me, because I'd played cello for a year first. Same kind of instrument, mildy different controls and sheet music.

I haven't played in 20 years. If I picked up a violin today, I'd start with Hot Cross Buns again, and I'd work my way back up to Beethoven. I might get there faster, because I have knowledge I didn't start out with, but I'm woefully out of practice and there's nothing wrong with restarting at the beginning until I'm back up to speed.

So when I say that I am not opposed to learning how to play, and practicing, I FUCKING. MEAN. IT.

I'm not asking creators Souls-like games to change their game mechanics, I'm asking them to build progression training into their games.

And if you're some kind of virtuoso who can pick up a game controller or a violin and just be able to play, well fucking good for you, but your experience is not universal. If you are bad at chess but you still want to play for some reason, you can still find a buddy who's as bad at it as you are and you can be bad at it together and have a good time. It's not like you have to start out on hard mode and play against people who are experienced and skillful at it.

And also? Fuck you some more, because even with practice, some people cannot ever get better, for multiple reasons. And they should be able to play too.

Week 2: Plant Regression & Music

Hello! I hope you are having a great weekend. Today I am posting again to talk more about plant regression and all about it. My post didn't seem to reach anyone but I'm hoping this second one will draw more attention to my page, so if you are seeing this for the first time, hello! ^_^

This week I wanna talk about how plant regression can be enhanced with music in some cases. In last week's post, which was a guide on how to plant regress, I mentioned that eliminating all distractions is the best way to regress. However, music can be extremely beneficial, especially for beginners, when first moving into a state of regression.

As a youngster, I remember reading in a book that sunflowers supposedly grew faster if you played the classic Neapolitan song "O Sole Mio" and being a massive fan of music, I was intrigued, and wanted to test how music had an effect on plants for my science fair project. I did an experiment where three plants would grow to different music, one to hard rock, one to soft rock, and one to orchestral music. And sure enough, music did have an effect on plant growth! Classical music had a far better effect than the other two, stimulating much greater plant growth, and all three plants had improved growth compared to the control plant.

Success! Unfortunately I was not the first person to make such a fascinating discovery, since when I was older I found studies dating all the way back to the sixties proved that plants do grow better with music, even growing towards the speakers and entangling their vines around them.

So what kind of music/sound waves helps plants grow?

Plants don't have ears, but they do "feel" music through the sound waves vibrating their bodies. I found research that shows plants are best growers when exposed to classical music, and not just Mozart or Tchaikovsky, but also Indian ragas, Chinese classical, and some kinds of chants can all have an effect. These are all best played in the morning to plants to simulate morning birds chirping. Some forms of jazz also helps with growth. Strangely, heavy metal actually increased the density of plants and bettered the taste of their fruits.

So what kind of music/sound waves HURT plants?

Too much bass and too long of musical exposure can kill plants, and also it is said that music with negative emotions can impact the plant's growth (I have yet to see proof of that last bit)

So what does this mean for plant regressors?

Music is an inalienable part of the human experience and like plants, music has a positive effect on us in the correct circumstances. Plant regressors may find that the music that benefits plants also benefits themselves during plant regression... But try to avoid heavy metal lol. Pick music that calms you, or makes you happy, but not excited. Music should make you content when regressing and help you focus on your inner being and introspect upon your emotions. Pick things with lots of string instruments, as plants prefer them, and just soft notes in general.

Personally in my regression routine I listen to some of the classic music of my Baltic heritage. Choral music in those languages resonate deep within me, and also many of the Baltic composers stimulate introspection, particularly the works of Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis and Juozas Gruodis, they make me feel a deep connection to my heritage which makes me feel grounded.

Music doesn't have to mean heritage for you, though, it can mean whatever you'd like it to mean. Maybe it reminds you of someone you love, a place that makes you feel at peace, reminds you of nature or fond memories. As long as it makes you feel at peace, it will help you better move into plant regression. Let me know what kinds of music you plan on using and tell me how it goes, i'd love to hear from you!

Now reaches the end of my weekly blog for this Sunday. I blog every week on this day so if you liked this one, check back again for the next one! I love you all and have refreshing week!

What I post: mainly RNM/Malex/Vlamburn etc, occasionally Hoechlin (❤️‍🔥). I’m waiting for RNM to be over (😔) before I post about other stuff. My Drafts are filled to the brim with Heartstopper posts, so that might be more prominent come September. 🍂

Last thing I googled: I don’t google, I DuckDuckGo (fantastic search engine that won’t track your every move, f*ck Google ☺️) and I looked up what 1,74m is in feet 🤪

Other blogs: I have the attention span of a gnat, I couldn’t handle a sideblog. We post everything on main in this house ✌️

Do I get asks: I do, and it’s one of my favorite things. Shoutout to all my lovely nonnies 💕

Last book I read: recently re-read RWRB, so pumped for the movie!!! I mostly (almost exclusively) read fanfic otherwise

Top 3 fictional universes I’d like to live in:

1/ the one where our poor planet doesn’t burn to a crisp bc of corporate greed, and those least responsible have to suffer the most severe consequences

2/ the one where queer people are allowed to just be and don’t have to fight for equality/basic human rights on a daily basis (let alone fear for their lives if the wrong people found out)

3/ the one where people with uteruses have the bodily autonomy to decide what’s best for their life/health, and people get paid equally

Bonus universe: the one where white/rich/conservative assholes don’t ruin it for everyone else (I guess that’s just universes 1-3 combined 🙃)

(Also, the Heartstopper Universe, I’d like to find the Charlie Spring to my Nick Nelson, pls 🥺)

"Modern" Composers

I'm not sure why I started thinking of this, but I imagined some composers as teenagers together based off how I interpret their music and here is the result.

Beethoven: He's the emo kid. You just don't understand him or why he felt the need to make the 3rd movement of Moonlight Sonata that fast. It's art. You wouldn't get it. He's totally not a drama queen. It's just you.

Bach: Prankster. There's no other reason that he'd have 5 voices in fugue XXII when the average person only has two hands. Why, Johann? Why?? Answer - because he is a troll.

Chopin: The cool kid. (Might be my biases here) I feel like he'd be the one everyone admires. He's just effortlessly cool and laid-back, but then he can be really deep and emotional too without you expecting all that from him. You might not even realize how popular he is until you look closer. (I had no clue the famous funeral song was one of his pieces!)

Satie: Introvert. He likes it when it rains, doesn't talk a lot unless it's important, and loves wrapping up in blankets. He always comes close to seeming depressed, then you realize he's just naturally calm and reserved.

Mozart: Fancy. He goes golfing, enjoys fine-dining, and frequents the opera. His manners are impeccable and put royalty to shame.

Debussy: The daydreamer. He's lost in the clouds all throughout the class, but that world he transports himself to is pretty magical. He doesn't really need to ace the next final, though. He's going to compose "Clair De Lune" or "Reverie." Wouldn't you prefer he do that?

Tchaikovsky: Theater student. He's doing ballet, singing, and acting. It all comes incredibly naturally to him and he's the best one there. He just can't stop himself from turning something into a grand show, so he's normally the one to create plays too.

Coleridge-Taylor: The low-key cool one. No one really notices him at first, then he does something awesome and everyone's just wondering how it took them this long to pay him attention. (His music is great. I highly recommend checking out "Three-Fours.")

Grieg: Another low-key one, but you kind of notice him a bit more. He keeps trying to get your attention. You just always come in right after he's done something amazing. So, you know that a cool thing happened; you just don't know who did it. (I have heard "Morning Mood" and "In the Hall of the Mountain King" since I was an embryo and somehow didn't know who he was until a few years ago)

Liszt: Speed demon and track star. Why is Hungarian Rhapsody 19+ pages of speed and/or hand-breaking torture? Just when you think he's calming down (Oubliee No. 1), he reminds you of his fast ways and now you're pulled into it too. You hate how much you love hanging out because you're always sore the next week.

Strauss the 2nd: The loud one. He is very outgoing and likes to be the center of attention. It doesn't take much before he's been noticed by someone (probably by doing something dramatic). His inside voice is just whatever won't burst your eardrums, but you also do want to hear what he's got to say, so it's a fair trade.

Vivaldi: The seasonal buff (half-joking). He's a great academic. His music has a very serious yet delicate sound to it that I can see him taking a lot of pride in his studying (if he actually was a terrible student, I'm going to laugh). Not quite as fancy as Wolfgang, but also fancier than most of the others here.

Camille Saint-Saens: The guy who does one thing and will never let you forget it. (No offense to the rest of his pieces, but I think it's a fair assumption that the bulk of us know "Danse Macabre" and that's it.)

Please share your favorites if they're here! Sorry if I missed them. These are just the main ones I listen to.

[desmorotu]

guy’s playlist 🩰 (a glimpse)

꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ …also for @morgansplace LOL

☆ stargirl interlude - the weeknd (he walks around the apartment saying “my back arched like a cat” while leaning himself against the wall, counter, etc. and arching his back. honey is sending an sos signal. when he isn’t being a total shithead, however, guy actually has a deep understanding and appreciation for music. this song in particular riles guy up to the point where he has to pick honey up, set them gently on the bed, and worship all of them until they really do see stars.)

☆ el tango de roxanne - broadway cast of moulin rouge! the musical (guy was a theatre kid in high school and has always had a soft spot for musicals. this one specifically sends chills down his body and honey has come home to him singing this song in the shower; he’s surprisingly really fucking good at singing. the strings are “orgasmic” and the vocals “make him nut.”)

☆ call me little sunshine - ghost (guy has been listening to ghost for awhile and refuses to go a day without referencing at least one song. he loves the acoustic guitar in this one and just…generally loves the stage presence ghost has. he thinks they’re hot LMAO and he makes honey watch concert clips with him…he squeals when something attractive happens.)

☆ mariage d’amour - paul de senneville (before guy went to school for writing, he was originally going to do music. he played piano for years and this was one of the pieces that stuck with him. he longs to play piano for honey, but he has a small fear of them thinking it’s too cringy despite their agreement to the offer. he also picked up the alto saxophone for a time strictly because of careless whisper, but ultimately decided that reeds were not for him.)

☆ piano concerto no. 23 in A, k.448: II andante - mozart (he loves how tragic it sounds. when he listens to it, he imagines one of his characters from his writing going through different stages that lead them to being the villain. it’s a song that never gets old in his book, and he’s looked up the score to it dozens of times to read the music. he loves tragedy, and this piece portrays it perfectly in his mind.)

☆ i was made for lovin’ you - kiss (“tonight, i wanna give it all to you in the darkness. there’s so much i wanna do.” he listens to kiss and other kinds of dad rock, but this song was what he did constantly on just dance 3 when it was popular. he sings the lyrics to honey on repeat—he mostly likes the excuse to call them “baby.” he cannot keep himself still when he hears the familiar guitar and bass—he “has to shake that ass” and “honey you gotta see this—“)

☆ custer - slipknot (he thinks the vocals are silly and he loves to head bang to it. he listens to it with the straightest face while he washes dishes at the end of his shifts. he nods his head gently to it while he does so, but internally he is jumping up and down and pouring marinara sauce all over himself /j. he and honey jump around their apartment with this shit on full blast sometimes, god bless their neighbors.)

☆ creep - radiohead (do i need to explain? …okay but on a serious note, despite how it’s meme’d literally everywhere, he believes it to be a genuinely good song. the music feels so melancholy, and that kind of vibe is his favorite despite how happy-go-lucky he appears. he thinks the chorus ruins it LOL)

☆ rule of nines - spiritbox (he heard this song randomly somewhere and looked up lyrics until he found it. this is a song that guy and honey enjoy together specifically—when honey is in the mood for it, you know they’re both going to have a dance party. guy also does the screamo, growly lyrics surprisingly well…)

☆ let you break my heart again - laufey (plays this on the more quiet nights while they’re doing the dishes and cleaning up after dinner just before the weekend. he likes to wrap his arms around honey’s waist and give soft neck kisses as they simply do their thing. when the lyrics say “one day, i will stop falling in love with you,” guy gets all sappy and reiterates that he falls in love with them every single day, over and over again. it sometimes results in them slow dancing together, smiling like idiots and giggling. they feel like they did when they first moved in with each other; not exactly sure what the future brings, but all too welcoming of the hopeful warmth that spreads through their body.)

☆ puppy princess - hot freaks (he kinda hates the lyrics and the cadence of them but the chorus is too cute in his opinion so he keeps it on there anyway:) )

refer to guy’s playlist cover(s) at the bottom; i think guy could go for two very different vibes when it comes to his vibe, so i picked two :3

꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ

TWO IN A DAY?? …yes…i’m obsessed w this idea rn. a chaotic mix of music for our chaotic mess of a boyfriend <3. this one is definitely the most diverse of the three so far, but it’s fitting in my opinion. guy is ironically one of the most complex characters 💀 and he was supposed to be a fucking background character. again, if you want more then lemme know :3 i love doing this omg it’s so fun and i like how people are AGREEING WITH ME THATS SO COOL :(. okay ramble over. the contrast in guy’s covers is so fucking funny to me omg someone help porqué soy loco y necesito dormir pero no querer 💕

also, p.s., i am very new to tumblr (four days in) and i have a question: is there any way i can respond to someone reblogging my post without also reblogging my own…bc i make big posts and it takes over my whole page.

k bye 💟

Manfred Mann - Blinded by the Light

And the saying that she's blinded by the light I've been talking about it's kind of like their lady as those who sit around and they're saying it's a rumor in the night and we have it and stuff like that and he said no not really so you get mad and he screwed the song up a little and but it really that's annoying as hell people trying that and not trying it. And it's treason towards their own but who cares but seriously I say it crashes down and they get something and they're saying it's around now and it has not happened and won't and they don't know where it is if it exists that's a singing about what's going on now and they're calling her son go-kart Mozart and he played Mozart and he played Beethoven and off and on and he wrote the symphonies this is I don't think so it's kind of not for me to say so Hera is saying that she's Mozart and it's true and he did a lot of work on it but he handed it off to her and here she is it's a miracle and it's like Megan Faye and it's actually who she is. And our son was not doing anything but my peuschel was. And it wasn't the greatest scene on earth no. But she's like a little boy and Mark has been trying to take her stuff and Trump and they're fighting and they're calling her go-kart Mozart because she was playing Mozart as well and poo poo head plays him let's not really what happened he doesn't want to tighten he does that on Titan but the song is about Hera and it's about Megan Merkel and it's about her being go-kart Mozart and the calling her him she changed his format and he's checking the weather charts it's a slight reference to our son and then it says that she's going to make it through the night meaning that she has a lot of bad dreams and hateful people are bothering her and it's really the max and these guys are not helping and he says they're competing it's nightmare but they fend them off she said wow that's terrible so soon they'll be helping but you get to hang in there just a few more days she said I will and I'll be fine so good job and for Christ's sake he might be making Fey that's a hell so she says that's terrible you jerk get away from me since I'm working on it I'm trying to compete with them LOL so she's laughing and laughing and laughs herself to sleep I woke up in a ball and it looks like Lynn she woke up and she said I slept overslept and I feel better and he goes never punish yourself that is yourself for not finishing the work or eating not correctly because you're overslept and you will be as wise as me hoping that freaking window damn it so she laughs and laughs that's comes over the window. You have to have oxygen she's breathing and says wow that's nice so it starts working and she's feeling better but really it's a trial and now she says it's going to get a little better he says I don't know maybe worse than better but they're doing the work they just stupid here and she laughs says these are terrible orders this is not their headquarters or their place of rulership and they shouldn't be issuing orders from here they are so so many. And it's getting terrible they said

And yes Hera kind of took over in the clarity crashes to the ground calliope and it's really what they're saying happens to her business but they are referencing the light collector and it's none of their business but people are trying it for a long time and they're threatening people that are trying to do things to help and they're not Max actually you're not and they're going to get hit.

Hera

The more the story is the moral is that you should not lie about what you're talking about and these guys lie all the time and they're getting beat up. No one can trust what they're saying about anything and nothing's getting done here and they're not really in charge of what's going on very vague and the issue with only a few and seems to be against it and they're getting beat up and they're assholes and losers just not doing the job right now they're investigating and they're slow and they're lame it's horrible but this transportation stuff works and it's making it work it's going forwards and they're making fly cars like hotcakes real fast.

We need more of that s&s stuff and my nephew says you don't need any of that he knows what I mean it's going to try and look it up

[realhankmccoy]

Q: Hank, but what about the sculptures outside the MCA in Chicago? Wasn’t that sort of art specifically designed to challenge, humble and abase people like you?

A: indeed it was, but what can I say other than I haven’t seen it in probably at least 5 yrs and begrudgingly acknowledge and celebrated its defeat of me on social media at the time.

obviously, the Play Doh people and their antics, even the one with the erect prick, are hard to love but the point is that they are human or humanoid and we’re called upon to love them anyhow as part of our communitah.

however, I am kind of a bitch in which while I do agree with this message, im still insistent that even programmatic Baby Mozart made better art, and that the Waldspirale built by Friedrich Hundertwasser in Darmstadt (thumb city for all you Tom Thumbs out there) was not as pleasing for me to wander about as William Pereira's Geisel Library in La Jolla, California is. Don't ever let any amateur to culture tell ya brutalism isn't good enough, kids, because it's more than good enough for me in the case of the Geisel Library and the George L. Mosse Humanities Building in Madison, Wisconsin.

i thin it's obvious to the majority of people i interact with that of all the museums in the world, it's contemporary art museums that are most akin to 'the participation trophy museum'.

i certainly enjoy contemporary art museums and consider it an obligation to go to them in any city, basically, but to expect me to put some kid's paper mache up there with Second Empire architecture is asking for a bit much in most instances, isn't it? if we simply Must compare and contrast.

of course the solution is a softer touch... telling the contemporary artist what you enjoy about their work, maybe offering gentle suggestions for improvement...

but sometimes you might come across, you know, good old-fashioned Wonderbread conservative entitlement or any form of entitlement, for leftists can be entitled too, in which Baby Creator demands that his art be praised to high hell and be told he just painted the Mona Lisa only that he expects even more gushing than you dispensed for that one. basically, they want dishonesty if it's in their favour, which is why they're such casual liars phonies and marketeers in part... and I'm simply not capable of being fake enough for them. A Goldilocks wouldn't be happy with harsher criticism... she only sees things as gatekeeping i guess and only wants heaps of approprobation, just like Trump and Peterson only want that. it's a corporatist model of a King Baby wanting Yes Men, which I cannot and will not provide for them. ever.

so they can suck it -- surrounding themselves with what they want to hear creates echo chambers of stupidity, phoniness and weakness, and thus they are as they are.

they need a man's gentle touch, but they're terrified of me as a leftist man and disdain me due to prejudice and being a cuck, so it is what it is.

I watched High Strung for the sake of watching something with Nicholas Galitzine that's not Cinderella (because once was enough). It only dawned on me after 15-ish minutes that I'd already seen that movie, but went on anyways, in spite of my generalized dislike of dance movies.

I really hate watching these sorts of movies about musicians (which are usually string or piano players). I'm a cellist myself, so I can usually spot in under 2 seconds if it's playback, or if the actor in particular has any kind of skill, because usually they don't. And the moment I notice that, it's cringe non-stop. And then there's the very typical "stereotypes of classical music". In Christmas movies, for example, it's the "making Christmas songs sound like Mozart minuets or romantic waltzes". In this one, there are several: the "let's play a well-known melody and start putting random embellishments to make it sound different and more difficult" (when it's really not, because trilling and vibrato are things we have to learn to repress once we know them, because they become automatic). Its horrible variant (in this movie) "let's play 8 bars of La boda de Luis Alonso in a loop and hope nobody notices". Then there's the so-called virtuoso. Honestly, it's not that I cringe, it's that I'm transported to those assholes in the conservatory who played with their nose in the air (literally), who made the rest of us feel like we were less, and who ended up being criticized by the faculty themselves because they were way too hard to teach without any real talent they could work on, and who ended up being lost to the system before they hit 20. Plus, in these movies, they're never actually good. Like, you'll hear another character be like "That was outstanding", while I'm thinking "Well, I do that when I try to sound like I play better than I actually do, because to non-musicians, this sounds amazing, but it's actually basic mechanics".

Just overall, I know I don't like these movies, I know I should've pressed stop the moment I saw Nicholas make that (also very typical) constipated face that they always do when they're "very much in the zone". And I really resent that I cannot watch a whole genre of movies because I've studied too much :)
