so much of a 21st century woman that i legitimately had to have a guy in my YA lit class explain to me how men's emotions work because i've only ever heard about it from idiotic women speaking for men or super macho guys who think any form of emotion is utter weakness for my entire life

#idk yall men are interesting #something about how they're way less nuanced than women #like girls expect the same level of emotional complexity with guys as is evident in us #which means like 45 different feelings all at the same time and playing into the stability of our psyches #meanwhile the guy might legit just be tired #such an interesting conversation and now i think i have to find music that accurately portrays what he told me about how men actually #like #feel emotions #this is so random i hate being a modern woman #like i love my right to vote and my ability to get high paying jobs and a stem degree if i had desired but like #women don't know how men work and it's a problem because we think they're like us and they're not and it's unfair for us to speak for them #but like we don't know what's real anymore either #blargh #thanks random guy in my upper level english class for your candor you answered a lot of my questions #there are many benefits to attending a catholic college

anyway I think I have Impa's theme basically ready to be shared ;;

#thoughts #impa #thralls of power #animatic project #I'm just considering which visual to pair it with....#it's not. perfect.#I don't know I'm always really nervous about sharing music #I think it's mostly because I'm real bad with mixing and mastering?#and because my vst library is REALLY old --but I'm trying to use that to evoke old school zelda scores so??? will it work who knows #(and also because people tend to be horrible when it comes to talking about music)#(they don't know how and they have only their gut feelings so music is either a bop or it's not music)#(and it's like. nuance. a little bit of nuance and argumentation please.)#I don't know????#but idk I think it's a little bit of a mood #and WELP at some point I'll have to share that damn music won't I #I don't think it'll be featured in that form in the actual soundtrack tho #but it's a good basis from which to elaborate upon #there's just! a ton of leitmotifs and little decisions I made about progression and instruments and stuff that I'm happy about #things literally nobody but me cares about #but I like :> leitmotifs.#which will be. very obvious very soon.

an unfortunate fact about me is i just want to be singing all the time

#i can not express how important singing is to me #it's an autism thing (singing is literally my top 1 stim forever. the need to do it gets crazy esp when i'm having an overwhelming day)#it's a family thing (connects me to my dad and grandfather)#it's a I WORKED ON THIS thing. like i'm not a good singer BUT I'M NOT BAD EITHER.#and i've never been trained the only reason i'm not bad is because i 'practice' literally every single fucking day #practice is a strong word cause i don't know what i'm doing. but i sure do sing #its a trans thing.#i just. if i could live in a world where nobody minded my noise. and my throat didn't get sore. i don't think i wld ever stop #i wanna make music really bad but i have no ideas for melodies and beats ever all my songs are unfinished and scraps #but i've never really connected to any part of making music other than singing anyway rip #my dream is to get paid to cover things all day long maybe lol #i do love doing va stuff i hope i can get back to doing that soon #but singing man. ugh #i want to do karaoke with my friends more than life

hear me out... au where the Thenardiers have a casino instead of an inn...

#This can go either the funny way the musical does or the dark way the book does #it's really a setting that would work both ways and just #I don't know how to write this but I'd read the shit out of it #con artist Thenardiers...#AND GAVROCHE??? KNOWING SHIT ABOUT CASINOS #and ppl being like IS THAT A CHILD???#Ép kinda hangs out in the shadows - as she does - and watches and learns everything #and she's just like legitly good at everything #she knows how every little roulette works and can tell when people are bluffing like no one can #so while her parents are like obviously con artists and dishonest about everything #she's just legitly good at all of these games #AND OF COURSE my baby Azelma is also hanging around #les miserables #les mis #éponine thenardier #gavroche

argh you just know there’s something a little shady under that whole retirement situation :))))

#sorry i have an unhealthy parasocial attachement to that old man but #like #either he unfollowed them bc retiring bc of health concerns is probably not fun and having the whole travel log rubs salt on the wound #which is the charitable explanation but still depressing #or he might've been forced into retirement or smth and there's bad blood :)))))#right when nikki talks about making new material #mick ''unclear status in the band as so far a touring retirement was retirement from all meaningful activities of the band'' mars #unfollows their social media #like he WAS kinda sweeped under the rug following retirement but it's not necessarily out of character for him #at least whether he likes it or not that's how he's handled it since he's been in motley #but like. is it that crazy to think it COULD have happened that he's being excluded from this hypothetical new music #and isn't taking it well #like i'm not trying to say the others are horrible evil assholes like just the geographical distance will cause exclusion #and while that would be painful to everyone to be excluded in such a way it's not necessarily ethically wrong or whatever #we don't know what they discuss or not and what kind of internal agreement they have #BUT THEY DO HAVE A HISTORY OF BEING PETTY BITCHES #AND IT WOULDN'T BE TOO FAR FETCHED TO SAY THEY MIGHT'VE WENT AND BEEN DICKS TO EACH OTHER AGAIN #WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST TIME #like idk if say. i was in mick's shoes. and i. say. learned from social media that the band i'm supposed to work with is making new music #without me #after 40 years #and didn't warn me or didn't discuss this with me or something #i'd be pretty pissed #now of course i'm not saying this is what happened #i'm just saying it might have happened #and the entire basis of this anyway is that i'm very sad my parasocially beloved old man might be upset #and the status quo of general peace and happiness my parasocially beloved band might be disturbed #and i need to talk it out #so yeah #broadcasting my misery

can't stop thinking about this and I don't know why

(The Kiss, Gustav Klimt, 1907/8)

#Art #I don't know it just glows and it's so simple that it's just the feeling of being loved without anything else #There's this whole open field and they're pressed right up against each other #And the way the different areas are kinda textural it's like mixed media without being mixed media #I wish I knew more about art so I knew why I loved this #I feel like I know a bit more about music and theater but visual art consistently has me at a loss #Either I “don't get it” and don't see what I'm “supposed to” see or I see something and I don't know why #I don't know how the pieces work together to create beauty

right at the beginning of music school is actually a fantastic time to think "really when was the last time making music or working with music made me happy?"

#don't worry about me this is just my bi-weekly crisis regarding school and my future and my entire identity haha yea i'm fine i'm cool #i'm frustrated bc i haven't actually made progress with music in so long and i haven't made anything i'm proud of for even longer #i'm studying music technology but i don't know shit about it and really i'm not that passionate about it either #there are so many projects that i have in the works that i actually do have to finish bc they're for other people but i just #can't get myself to work on it #my entire life i've been so fucking bad with comparing myself to others #and going to music school i am now surrounded by talented people left and right and i feel so fucking inferior #and i'm one of those people who never studied in school and well that's not rly an issue bc at this school u don't study the traditional way #however what this also means about me is that nothing has ever been difficult for me before and #i simply don't know how to cope with not knowing how to do something #i mean this isn't the first time that i don't know how to do something but #this is the first time that i can't just run away from it and ignore it #and i feel like i'm never gonna be able to graduate from here #i've literally had just two days of school so far and i'm convinced i can't do it #to be fair i was already convinced i'm a failure and a fraud before i started so #also during the first introduction lecture to the school. burnout got mentioned. very. very. very many times.#i'll let you guys know when it gets to me haha #i'm feeling good i'm feeling so good i'm feeling fine [crying my eyes out]#eg posts

hourgh planning stage i'd say like 90% complete

#plotting my progress to hopefully motivate me to actually finish it this time <3 #also if anyone knows of any l'ass audios that don't have clapping but do have the screech/breath pls lemme know #it seems you always have to trade one for the other orz #and my audio editing skills are non-existant so i cant like splice one in or anything either #also had a fascinating time determining how the korean and french lyrics were different!#like obviously theres gonna be differences in localization but! somethings were changed that surprised me #like in the short time between rosenberg leaving and salieri starting l'ass #in the french version he simply mentions how mozart's music is 'sublime'#in the korean one he calls mozart's piece a masterpiece unlike his own and wonders if mozart's a genius #i think both work really well as an intro! im curious why it changed :3

chensoman anime is so overproduced....

#this is a salt post abandon reading here if ur alrdy annoyed #//#went back to look at jjk and jjk just looks amazing. it looks very polished. it goes hard but also holds frames and let's them breathe #cs/m is moving too much somehow in a suffocating busy way #& im not bashing the cgi here. yes it's clunky but anything that can take the crunch off of animators lol #like some of the awkward angles and rotoscoping is the fault of being too close to the cgi they obviously used #they somehow managed to make an anime equivalent of AAA hyperrealistic games that feel bland bc of it #not always!!! ofc!!! but im saying the hyperpolish doesn't add anything of value esp to a property just as cs/m #& i know fujimoto is a movie buff n this is probably his dream adaptation n whatever #& i know anime will never look like in the olde days again #but i am thinking of akira animating on 1s and making the busy look work #i think of the hyperreal movements in satoshi kon movies and how he makes it work #chainswman wld have been better off looking like klk this is the hill i die on #not saying it needs imaishi's animation style and sharp chins and yelling. but the feeling klk had #of dark and grimy fights that went with scratchy and decidedly drawn lines in their fights & copious amounts of blood #& i do like the stark contrast red blood in csm! it just does nothing style wise since the rest is so Realistic. it's just red #in the end its an adaptation but i would have liked it to stay closer to the feel of the manga. the endings Get It #& on that note i also don't like the soundtrack that much. ik the discordant stuff Fits but vs katanaman was the first time #that it actually integrated well with what happened on screen. (again compared to jjk or klk that had impeccable osts)#bg music not op/ed ofc. tho none of the ending songs have been all that stand out either #anyway!! this has been my salt!!#csm blogging #still preferable to a bad adaptation i guess (sighs at fnae...)#but i do hope jigokuraku next year will look worse (lol) bc nobody cares abt that show/manga so they'll not go all out #and i do hope they will not Improve On (tm) jjks current style bc i need my toji moment to fuck me raw #good morning and goodbye

#sometimes i think about taylor's music since folklore and how many of them indicated some relationship trouble to me #but i don't like to speculate so i just kept it to myself #and i saw people here saying everything was fine etc #when in reality no one could truly know that specially this time in a very private relationship #and now they're crucifying joe without knowing everything either #in reality she's been telling us stuff was going on but we just didn't know how they were working through it #until the point it just didn't work anymore #and i'm not saying he's innocent but i think it's not black and white #it's sad but it's a thing that happens in many relationships with time #considering the mental health situation involved it's even worse #of course her pain is valid and she has the right to be heartbroken #but some of you are too immature to deal with adult relationships....

"I tried my hardest, for I'd never learned, God's very simple and love shouldn't burn"

#pov you're me realizing almost all of my playlists are either all one artist or they're character playlists #so you don't know what to shuffle #anyway I shuffled my playlists of my favorite songs that I won't skip which does need a bit of updating probably but still works #but yeah I almost always listen to just one artist or album on repeat for days and I don't have a #large playlist with a wide variety of music #couldn't even use the liked songs playlist bc I barely use that feature #@ ANYONE WHO USES THE LIKED SONGS FEATURE: HOW DO YOU USE IT AND WHAT FOR #ask #gloomybirdie #also tumblr keeps putting the fucking emoji in my response and I can't get rid of it for some reason

#today i was forced to deal with the gp's perception of louis and it made me sad #we were playing music on youtube at work and bigger than me came on #and my manager was looking at the computer and saw it was louis and said #''ugh the one i least liked from one direction''#like kinda joking kinda not #i've been very open about my love for 1d and louis and harry in particular since i met him #like not throwaway comments. i've brought it up multiple times in different conversations so it's likely he remembered #(OH MY GOD I JUST FOUND OUT YOU CAN EDIT TAGS WITHOUT DELETING THEM??????????? AMAZING THIS IS A GAME CHANGER)#i didn't know what to say so i just said hahah i'm only tolerating this bc i like you!!!#again kinda joking kinda not #and he hugged me so it was a lighthearted convo yk but i was still tense bc. louis!! so i asked him to elaborate #and he said ''i don't know he's just misogynistic and a homophobe and i don't vibe with that''#and he then went on to say he remembered louis screaming at fans??? which extremely unlikely #maybe he was remembering the time he got arrested or the get a fucking job you fucking losers #(he then said maybe it was niall bc it was and i quote ''el ojitos de lucero'')#so i rushed to explain as normally as i could the difference between twitter and public louis tomlinson and louis #and told him abt how you can tell management used to handle their twitter accs and how he's very likely in a forced closet #(i didn't want to scare him off so i said it as if we didn't know lmao)#and he was like hm yeah i guess #and then went on to say how he didn't like liam either bc of the logan paul podcast and how he thought he canalized his homophobia #through bashing harry which???? is such a weird way to perceive this whole situation #but the sad thing is that i can't really blame him at all #i explained as best as i could but like. we've talked about this before here but louis' public image #for people who haven't followed him closely is so so bad #and this guy is queer too which makes it sadder #i didn't go into the whole louis defense mode because a customer came in and then we had things to do but #i hope the issue comes up again in the future because i hate this #and bc he knows i like him i'm just thinking how he mustve been thinking me a hypocrite for being gay and his fan #i really hate how soo many people have such a wrong idea of him #i hope louis can be free and set the record straight soon

playing music brings me so much joy !! I'm still very much a beginner and sound kinda terrible, and like I know it'll eventually get better with practice. but. there is a certain comfort and reassurance in being bad. it means that, even if I wanted to, I couldn't possibly try to monetise music. this can only be a hobby I do for the love and pleasure of it. it's just for me. and it's so nice having a hobby like that when everything around us is constantly about profitable skills and side hustles and the grind

#I'm not a particularly talented artist either #but I'm just proficient enough that I occasionally wonder —in the back of my mind— whether I shouldn't at least try to make works for sale #to be clear. from working in the gallery I know how much hard work and dedication and actual skill it takes to be an artist #and I don't think that's for me tbh #but I still think about it unconsciously sometimes #but with music I have no such delusions #it's great #playing a piece is also ephemeral #whereas if you do a large painting #you need to store the canvas somewhere and that's inconvenient too #that said the mandola is kind in my way.#haven't had a chance to go drop it off at my grandfather's house yet #or I need to find a teacher who can re-string it and then actually start learning #because for now it's just standing around #and being a mandola it takes up more space than the mandolin I had anticipated
