#carnival de lune

[beaft]

that particular genre of youtube playlists that's got a really intense descriptive title like "clawing your way up out of the grave that your murderous husband put you in and ascending the stairs to his mansion so you can take revenge upon him and his lover" and then it's just the same 4 classical music pieces with badly edited rainsounds looping in the background

[soeurdelune]

parce qu'on approche doucement mais sûrement de la spooky season 🎃, c'est l'occasion de parfaire votre culture en films d'horreur! voici une petite sélection de 10 diamants du genre, visionnables gratuitement sur youtube (et sous titrés en anglais pour ceux en langue étrangère! que demande le peuple...) il va sans dire que l'horreur étant un genre parfois costaud, pensez à vérifier vos triggers pour chaque film sur le site does the dog die?

carnival of souls, 1962 (vo: anglais américain), une masterclass, un des premiers grand films d'horreur moderne, il a inspiré des réalisateurs comme david lynch ou james wan. (la note de lune: 5/5)

el espinazo del diablo (l'échine du diable), 2001 (vo: espagnol), personne ne raconte une histoire de fantômes comme guillermo del toro, un très beau film qui inaugure sa trilogie de la guerre civile, à suivre avec le labyrinthe de pan et son pinocchio de 2022. (la note de lune: 4/5)

a tale of two sisters, 2003 (vo: coréen), des influences gothiques saisissantes et une histoire aux allures de diabolique petit puzzle. (la note de lune: 4/5)

ringu, 1998 (vo: japonais), un immense classique de la j-horror que l'on ne présente plus, efficace et très bien ficelé, featuring hiroyuki sanada ♥️ (la note de lune: 5/5)

the last man on earth, 1964 (vo: anglais américain), inspiré du roman i am legend qui a donné une palanquée d'adaptations au fil des années, celui-ci est de loin mon favori, vincent price est une ICÔNE et ce film est un pur plaisir à regarder. (la note de lune: 4/5)

kairo (pulse), 2001 (vo: japonais), un autre classique de la j-horror, l'ambiance est profondément troublante et mélancolique, avec des scènes qui vous hanteront pendant un bon moment. (la note de lune: 4/5)

hellraiser, 1987 (vo: anglais américain), tout le monde l'a probablement déjà vu mais la version youtube est tellement quali que je le mets ici quand même, pinhead est un méchant incroyable, le film a des défauts mais les qualités l'emportent sur le reste, un bijou de l'horreur un peu gory des 80s! (la note de lune: 3/5)

donnie darko, 2001 (vo: anglais américain), diffile à mettre dans une catégorie plutôt qu'une autre, un peu d'horreur mêlée à du thriller psychologique et une pointe de sci-fi, ça reste un classique au dénouement final incroyable. (la note de lune: 5/5)

one missed call, 2003 (vo: japonais), juré après j'arrête avec la j-horror, celui-ci est plus efficace dans sa seconde moitié que dans la première, il y a des moments qui font vraiment vraiment peur. (la note de lune: 3/5)

les yeux sans visage, 1960 (vo: français), avant la piel que habito d'almodovar, il y a eu les yeux sans visage, un petit précurseur considéré comme le premier film d'horreur moderne français. (la note de lune: 3/5)

DLS Characters as Classical Music Pieces

Laia: Um. I was just gonna say it's really graceful and elegant, but Wikipedia says: "'Le cygne' illustrates the fleeting nature of beauty with its interpretation of the legend of the 'swan song'". So, uh. Guess it fits!!

Millie: Mischief and chaos. Clownery. Buffoonery.

Vlad: The kind of piece you'd find in one of those "pov: you're waltzing with your soulmate when you realize they came back wrong" playlists, probably

Leo: Yeah, it's soft. Yeah, it's complex. Yeah, it makes you wanna cry. Yeah, it's beloved. Leo Nolan!!

Sandra: ...Listen, it's what Sandra deserves! To rule a beautiful land of sweets, and to end the night with her beloved, dancing to one of the most beautiful musical pieces ever made. She is a magical sweetheart. She deserves the world and the Tchaikovsky masterpiece!!

Noe: Mischief and chaos. Clownery. Buffoonery.

Hasan: I think this one has strong moments, and then there's a bit of a lull, you know? Anyway, I like to think that represents those years he was dead dead

Mehmed: It just sounds like someone who has secret nefarious plans. And, I'm not gonna lie, this one kind of reminds me of The Imperial March, and that guy was good by the end too, so, it fits! Plus, it being a waltz mirrors Vlad's piece 😉

Tagged by @kaantt and @garnetrena lol qui je vais tagger moi

Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!

Eyes Half-Shut (One Piece, Sanji/Roronoa Zoro, E)

Objectively speaking, Sanji’s wedding day is not the worst thing to ever happen to him – there are far too many contenders for that title, but the day of his mother’s death is probably the one topping the chart – but it is on the list somewhere.

In the eyes of the gods (House of the Dragon, Alicent Hightower/Rhaenyra Targaryen, E)

Alicent cannot say that she didn’t let it happen.

The Owl and the Nightingale (Call of Duty, John "Soap" MacTavish/Simon "Ghost" Riley, M)

Aldersgate on a busy day was as close to hell as mundanity allowed.

Love Nukes (Fallout (TV Show 2024), Lee Moldaver/Rose McLean, M)

More than two centuries on this wretched Earth, Lee Moldaver thinks, and the last fifteen years had been the most bitter of all.

Hamon (One Piece, Tashigi/Vinsmoke Reiju, E)

When she had enrolled in the Navy, Tashigi hadn’t exactly pictured herself standing guard in civies in one of Marie-Geoise’s reception rooms.

Promesse (Kaamelott, Arthur Pendragon/Venec, G)

En Aquitaine, même l’hiver est doux. 

Deux marins (Kaamelott, Arthur Pendragon & Perceval de Galles, T)

Ils l’avaient laissé sur le sable froid d’une ile baignée par la lune, la tempe encore brûlante du contact avec la crosse d’une arme. 

Carnevale (Call of Duty, John "Soap" MacTavish/Simon "Ghost" Riley, M)

Their ship had entered Venice’s harbour on the very first day of the Carnival.

Red Wire (Call of Duty, John "Soap" MacTavish/Simon "Ghost" Riley, T)

When he hears the shot, he doesn’t know what it means.

soft as silk, warm as blood (House of the Dragon, Alicent Hightower/Rhaenyra Targaryen, M)

“Have you come here to gloat, your Highness?”

i can see a trend of setting the scene/context first. Not a lot of main characters in these first lines.

Tagging @azzzryel @belphegor1982 and anyone else who wants to do it !

[pianocat939]

do you have any classical music recommendations? especially for writing?

YOU SERIOUS???

BITCH I GOT YOU

If you want the dramatic stuff that gives a weird spark then these one would be great:

- Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven (This one has like 3 different moods to it)

- 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky (This one is quite loud, there’s literal cannons used in part of it. It’s supposed to picture a war so like…)

- O Fortuna by Carl Orff (Very loud. Brings a lot of terror)

- Lacrimosa by Mozart (This one is perfect for sadness/angst it’s a funeral song that was never finished bcs he died before he could)

- Danse Macabre by Camille Saint Saëns (A song about skeletons lmao)

- Waldstein Sonata by Beethoven (Very energetic)

- Fantaisie Impromptu by Chopin (Probably my favorite piano piece)

- Prelude in G minor by Rachmaninov (Kinda like this steady almost March thing)

- 1st movement of Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart (Very famous. I’m only putting it here bcs it’s like elevator music to me lmao)

The more calm and just chill ones:

- The Swan by Camille Saint Saëns (This is from the collection Carnival of the Animals. I would check all of it out tbh. Oh and there’s a string version and Oboe version, I prefer Oboe)

- The Aquarium by Camille Saint Saëns (Another Carnival of the Animals. Very water-like)

- The Girl with Flaxen Hair by Debussy (I’m learning this one rn actually. Very chill)

- Clair De Lune (I’ve played this one as well. Is calm but has a slight energetic feel to it)

- Morning Mood by Grieg (Bro it’s so calming in a magical way Istg)

- The Blue Danube Waltz by Strauss (I wanna fling someone when listening to this idk why)

- Waltz in C# Minor by Chopin (I also can play this one, flows really smoothly)

I’ll also give you a list of my favorite composers cuz why not:

- Chopin

- Tchaikovsky

- Camille Saint-Saëns

- Bach (His music might be boring but I still love it lmao)

P!INK @ ANFIELD STADIUM, LIVERPOOL

The fabulous, colourful, athletic pop performer Pink stopped off at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool on the first of her two nights, as part of her Summer Carnival World Tour. I was honoured to be accredited with a photo pass for this show, having not managed to secure one when she played Bolton last year.

The stage appeared to be miles away, further than the last time I photographed her show here a few years ago and at an angle. We had to stand on risers to be able to see over hands and phones and even then didn't quite manage it. With a very long lens and a short lens to get a full stage shot or two, I did the best I could.
