Why the fuck are there roller skates, dubstep, stage lighting, an LED screen, and all kinds of modern technology in Xilonen's trailer??? I thought Fontaine had the most advanced technology next to Schneznaya and arguably Sumeru, and every instance of high-end technology we have seen leaned more towards machinations with gears, magic, alchemy, essentially fantasy styled sci-fi???

The disrespect towards Native American and African cultures is enough to piss me off already, but it even goes against Genshin's own consistency with its fantastical world design..and for what? Just so you can have this...pop and gamer aesthetic???

Just look at these two bubbly and optimistic characters for me okay

Yoimiya's design isn't the most respectful and accurate representation of a Japanese firework craftsman, but at least you can damn tell she is Japanese. The large ribbons, hair accessories, tassels, leg covering, tattoo design, shoe style, and fabric patterns all allude to this (I apologize for not knowing the exact terminologies for these, this needs further research).

Then there's Mualani who has...what? Please do correct me if I am wrong here, but her character must be inspired by the real Mualani, a Hawaiian Chiefess. Additionally, her tribe's specialty is in tourism and vacationing, which further leads into the idea that she and her tribe are based off of Hawaii despite the known issues regarding Hawaii and tourism (if there are any good sources that summarize the issue, please do lmk).

I am not too familiar with Hawaiian culture, but there really is nothing about her design that reads as Hawaiian, or even just traditional, to me. What about a 2 piece swimsuit with bows and tails, a bow + braids + ponytail hair style, combat gloves (?), and an entire neon shark, is Hawaiian???

The characters, their designs, and their trailers, are just so culturally disconnected from their real life counterpart that it's even disconnected to Genshin's own world building and design. How the fuck is the fashion trend in Natlan denim pants. I feel like the only parts of Natlan that feel like Genshin Impact and culturally inspired are the in-game music and landscapes (God bless Hoyo-mix and the world designers).

Almost 30 years ago, The Simpsons famously predicted that Cypress Hill would share the stage with the London Symphony Orchestra. Now, fast-forward to 2024 and it's finally coming to fruition.

@airnewzealand tagged me in an ask to share five of my favorite songs. I ended up mostly going with songs off my current most-listened-to playlist—JPOP/KPOP II—but I chose six, as I wanted to include the last as a nod to @airnewzealand being kind enough to include me. I’m supposed to tag ten people but y’all know I can’t pick just ten of my moots—please consider yourself tagged if you would like to do this. Then tag me so I can see your lists!

a transcription of Ballister's Theme?? but with original orchestra parts, as much as i could hear??? more likely than you'd think !

score can be found at https://musescore.com/user/71371714/scores/12216817 and youtube vid at https://youtu.be/KuqWZOKGmes?si=sQh7lCoZ1VIh-aSy

(p.s. piano arrangement to come soon !! and perhaps a music analysis of my findings during transcription for the music nerds out there....)

Was just discussing alto clef and it reminded me about how it’s my favourite thing to rant about so you’re welcome in advance:

If you dislike the alto clef, YOU are part of the problem. I will die on this hill.

Look at that beauty! Look at the grace!

The only reason people don’t like it is because it’s underused and stigmatised. Also, cause people like to be mean to violists. WELL! Your bigotry ends today, prepare to be SCHOOLED!!!!

Reasons Alto/C/Viola Clef Is The Best And Very Cool
