#how do you describe music??
Text
feel free to add more, I just think it's funny that there's at least 3 musicals that have a 'high school is extremely bad' song and in 2 of them multiple teenagers die and in all 3 multiple teenagers get grievously injured. like they weren't kidding that high school really do hell.
#i didn't include any from mean girls bc none of them really have a big 'high school sucks' section#'where do you belong' is close but they mostly just describe things rather than pointing out how bad they are#or ascribing that badness to high school as a concept'#personally i think if you set a musical in high school#you are legally obligated to have a song where you acknowledge that the concept of high school is bonkers#original post#heathers#bmc#be more chill#npmd#nerdy prudes must die#also someone still gets grievously injured in mean girls even though it's not like. horror or dark comedy#like all these other ones are#which i think is hilarious#you can't have high school without serious bodily harm#they're also all opening numbers that are like half dialogue

this moment from “The Empath” makes me want to bite glass every time i watch it
[Video Description: A short clip from the Star Trek episode “The Empath”. There is no dialogue. Bones hesitates before walking away from Spock. Spock slowly sits down next to an unconscious Kirk, looking at him as he does so. The Empath, who has started to follow Bones, stops and looks at Spock. She appears intrigued, curious. Her and Spock make eye contact before Spock quickly turns away, looking down at his device. The Empath makes her way to Spock and places her hand on his shoulder. Once she does, he snaps his head up, alert. There is a zoom in on The Empath’s face as very sweet, lovely piece of orchestral music plays. The Empath smiles. End clip.]
#i didnt put subtitles in since its just music so i hope this is fine#im still like. i dont know how to properly describe please let me know if im doing it wrong#anyway does this moment make anyone else insane? just me?#i had to pause for a solid 5 minutes when i first saw it#i was like oh spock canonically loves kirk. or at least when he looks at kirk he feels something so strongly#that the empath notices and when she can feel it directly it is very sweet to her#like hello. hello. hello.#and then they just MOVE ON#ITS NEVER ADDRESSED#HELLO?!!?! CAN ANYONE HEAR ME HELLO?!?!?!#if you see this is another compilation later mind your business#anyway i still have more to comb through even when im watching tng#tos#spock#kirk#spirk#im not tagging bones this aint really about him#no offense#but if im going in your tag its not for this#tos rewatch#my edits#its not an edit but. whatever#will fix later#described#video

When I talk about ground-breaking trans history, I'm talking about this:
#trans#transgender#lgbt#lgbtq#ftm#mtf#nonbinary#trans meme#described images#image description in alt#YES THIS IS 10000000% A JOKE POST#this image just lives rent-free in my head because i'm a simple man#i think i'm so obsessed because i would LOVE a miku binder. how hilarious and campy would that be#it was weird during the time where people woobified the founding fathers because of that musical though#like. there /might/ be better historical figures to do that to if you really want to????#so i'm definitely glad that part is over because it was probably.... Not Good#and anyway i don't think it's necessarily appropriate TO woobify historical figures like that?? like. it definitely crosses the line...#...to the point where you might treat them like a book character rather than a complex human being...#...especially if they have done injustices toward others. we must recognize that without downplaying it by treating them like a character

the fact that richie’s last significant words (before begging for his life) is ‘i’m not a loser’ is actually soo upsetting it makes me want to kill myself
#nerdy prudes must die#starkid#richie lipschitz#if theres one thing starkid knows how to do it is make harrowing moments in the middle of their silly musicals#just and then you think back to the beginning of the song where they describe his murder scene and its just …#i need like compensation or something because this isnt right

Happy 25th birthday to Shoma Uno!
To all your smiles, and many more that are yet to shine. Thank you 💙
#shoma uno#figure skating#i do love him smiling#but him smiling mid-skate is truly on another level. the closest i can describe it makes me feel is heart palpitations but good ones#happy bday to my wonderful boy#can't believe he's 25 omg#i theoretically can write a wax poetic essay full of bday wishes and how great he is and what his skating means to me but i can't#and if anyone tells you i cried today when i was watching him skate and kept thinking about everything and still too overly emotional#well.. that would be heinous lie of course..#so happy birthday to an athlete with 3 olympic medals. an athlete with a career grand slam. a hardworking practice demon#happy bday to a skater with great control and patience gorgeous lines delicate musicality smooth skating sharp steps amazing spins#that skates so beautifully you can cry#happy birthday to a dog dad. a gamer who hates vegetables and whose diet consists of meat on 99.99%. a rare starfish specimen#happy birthday to a sleepy creature with an 'on/off' switch. to a student of stepffan lanbeeal that will make him go bald from stress#a short king himbo. an unintentional comedian. an english PhD#the only real person that gives me extreme cuteness aggression#and many many many other things that he is#happy birthday you sunshine with those sparkly eyes full of dreams#be happy be healthy be true to yourself#💙💙💙#p.s. bring another blue costume. soon.

Supertramp in Melody Maker
#right after Crime Of The Century came out! they all looked so young#Rick being described as the jokester of the group kind of surprised me because he is just so quiet although you can see how much fun he has#on stage and stuff like that...#the story of the groups 'sponsor' finding Rick and thinking this kid's got something and the rest is history is kind of funny to me#Rick's manner of speaking with his choice of vocabulary has effected me subconsciously since I use very strong vocabulary sometimes now lol#I love how they got interviews from everyone in the group!!! I love hearing from all of them!!!!!#nothing can break John's stride i love that for him#John is really the most musically knowledgable member it is entertaining seeing him going from instrument to instrument during concerts#they said Dougie looks hungry someone get this man a sandwichhhhhhhhhhh#Bob selling his car to go to the UK is crazy#getting drums sounds like an awesome christmas present#Bob is such an amazing drummer#like the drums are such a cool instrument as someone who played just cymbals its a lot of fun!#Roger defeats The Beach Boys sounding allegations#Roger is so right everyone in the band is so talented in what they do#it is so amazing seeing all of them just meld together and create such beautiful music that I personally love so much <3#R I C H A R D Davies#Rick Davies#Bob Siebenberg#Roger Hodgson#John Helliwell#Dougie Thomson#all looking so handsome in their portraits <3#Supertramp

Productions of Hamlet where Hamlet downs Horatio’s poisoned wine himself, my beloved. Drinking the poison meant for your best friend to save their life must have felt so intimate…
#bonus points if horatio realises how decisive hamlet is being and just watches him do it with a very broken-hearted look on his face#i prefer that to the struggling and very visibly sobbing horatio. he’s more suited for silent tears. to me.#the rational stoic guy breaks down on the inside and you can see it#ALRIGHT ILL CONFESS that’s just my fav production of hamlet#it’s a musical and it’s in japanese so i don’t think the shakespeare girlies know about it but one day ill write up a post#and in that post ill be so obsessed with it. as i constantly am.#hamlet#also hamlet drinking the poisoned wine also means to me that he gets to kill himself even if he’s going to die from the poisoned blade first#and that makes him as many times killed as claudius. i haven’t thought deep enough about this part#on the other hand it also enables him to die for the purpose of saving someone instead of the purpose of avenging the already dead#(if someone’s trying to produce hamlet with the main message being it’s better to die to save someone than to die for revenge#this would be the chance)#(although why on earth would you want to undermine hamlet’s grief… don’t make his entire story pointless c’mon#if anyone has a better way to fit this point into the story than i do pls tell me)#the amount of times i think about the final scene of hamlet is just the amount of times normal teenage girls do the ending of r&j i guess#also look at this bitch describing what happens in hamlet like it's a real historical event

I listened to TTPD all the way through on a long drive today (probably my 4th time) and I have a lot of thoughts about privacy and photography and safety. Not sure how to approach that topic on tumblr, if at all. But all of that to say, I feel a little bit ill thinking about the remaining vaults 🥴
#If anybody has advice or suggestions for how to respectfully handle that conversation on swiftie tumblr#Pls share!#I have been on tumblr since like 2011 (🤪) but only participating in swiftie tumblr since 2021#So I know there’s some sticky nuance to the boundaries between like… academic music/poetry interpretation and biography and gossip#And I want to throw violence prevention in there as an interpretive lens too#But I don’t want to be disrespectful#But I do think that she describes some situations (wether literal or metaphorical) that I want to talk about#And I’m not prepared to do that yet without really gathering my thoughts and citations first#Just wanted to put out feelers for any swiftie cultural norms I should be aware of…#C#would've could’ve Should’ve hours#Down bad#i can fix him (no really i can)#tsmwel#Mbobhft#bdilh#Fresh Out The Slammer#waolom#Icdiwabh#clara bow#the albatross#I hate it here#thank you aimee#i look in people's windows#the prophecy#cassandra#The bolter#the manuscript#(Good lord!!?

Getting online when T Sw**t does literally anything...
Every tag. Every fandom. Fanfic titles. Retconned characters (this character is a sw***ie, this character is this song coded, this ship is so that song coded and so on). Fan Edits out the ass. Audio clips, lyric quotes, hot takes on Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/YouTube/TikTok. A cruel, unending slew of exposure you did not ask for lmfao
#when will my suffering end#and the worst part is that I generally have no strong feelings about her 😭 I enjoy several of her songs fr#I feel the same way about like the superbowl for example - when everyone apparently is collectively obsessed with this one thing and you ar#not... it's weird. Idk how else to describe it like everything I know about this subject is against my will lmfao#and I can't emphasize enough that I think her music is like... fine!!! It's not my fave but I do enjoy a handful of her songs but the last#48 or so hours have been absolutely a miserable time for me lmao. I cannot go anywhere on any website without being confronted with#content I do not care to see lmfao and I don't mean that in a bitchy way it's just weird!!!!#and I censored her name because I do not want any fan to get pissed at me or say I hate girls winning or something lmao#that's all I really had to say. It's just weird and I don't want it to come off like I'm trying to steal anyone's joy or like I'm some#entitled music snob asshole... it's just weird when you actively are not looking for a person's content but it doesn't matter because#the content WILL be pushed in everything you enjoy and then you are the asshole or a hater for committing the crime of...#just being uninterested lmao 😭#ignore me#personal#nonsims#just shitposting#gif warning

[Additional Image Description: On a grey background, there are five small black line art illustrations lined up across the center. The first is a sword with a hooked blade pointing upwards, the second is a hand with magic curling up out of it, the center is a castle with wavy lines extending from it into a dark sky, the third is a beaker with steam curling up from it, and the last is a shortsword pointing downwards. The sword has a few dark red shading lines. In the lower right corner of the fanmix cover is the title, "heart of my own," in dark red medieval calligraphy font. End Additional Image Description.]

EXTREMELY low effort plug n play cover with very default settings mixing i did in like 20 min but im trying out voisona and holy shit tsudumi's 2.0 sounds SO so good
honeymoon un deux trois by dateken (original vocal rin), UST by purblexber
#voisona#vocal synth cover#suzuki tsudumi#needs a lot of work. mostly needs better placed breaths than the default and the legato situation is dire#she just ran a marathon into the studio and immediately started singing no breaks LOL#but man you can hear anju inami's tone clearer here and its great. i always wished she did more solo music#but shes like busy with stage work and whatever else so i understand. so this will do hjkfdhgjkfdgfd thank u anchan for this gift#i dont mind cevio ai's odd max-setting-autotuney sounding engine quirk but man#am i glad they let u have a free voisona license for vocals u bought on cevio because tsudumi specifically i prefer here#she has a warmer tone i think is how id describe it#voisona aint half bad! i do which the pause and play buttons were the same tho but thats a problem i have with cevio too#and i do need to alter the shortcuts because rn ctrl scroll is zoom vertically instead of horizontal which is...lol#but every audio program will have ui quirks so i dont mind. fl studio keeps killing me with the shift scroll not being scroll timeline#and instead being move audio over?? bizarre. oh and i guess voisona keeps glitching out the text in the top bar for some reason#i do like the vibrato editing settings tho. its not super precise it seems but its fast

#fiori sounds cool ! is crop haven likeee a farming life sim ? i#wonder what camellia being her rival means 🤔
In response to these tags left by @dmclr on the render I posted last night: Crop Haven is indeed a farming lifesim! It's inspired by the older Harvest-Moon-that-are-now-Story-of-Seasons games - if you'd like to know more, it has a Tumblr blog which I can link below for you!
The game is still very in-development, but it is available for download if you wanted to try it out - it's a very sweet little game so far, snd even though it is very about monsters it's definitely very light-hearted in a lot of ways~
Regarding me listing Camellia as Fiori's rival, this is simply because I was trying to replicate the format of the reference pictures that the actual in-game characters have on the wiki, as if Fiori was an NPC in the game itself. You as the player are able to marry many of the characters in the game, but there are also a number of "rival pairings" that can arise over time in the following years after that, where the characters will marry each other instead. So, in this case, it just means that if Fiori was actually in the game but the player didn't decide to pursue her romantically, then she would end up marrying Camellia instead, by default! So, Camellia would technically function as the player's rival for Fiori's affection, so to speak.
(According to the wiki, some characters will have multiple potential pairing options depending on the player's actions - for example, Martin will tend to marry Surge by default if you don't do anything, but you can potentially get her to end up with Ao instead, or even Jade if you really put in the work.
For Fiori, I think her alternative option would be Polly, because I think she's adorable and both are monsters tied to the water in some way.)
I hope that this helps explain things!!
#heart of the void#selfshipping#self‑insert: fioritura tag pending#honestly I may just shorten her name to fiori. it suits her better. but then if I do that I lose the reference of it being a musical term#since fioritura - ''flourish'' or maybe more literally ''flowering'' - describes a way of embellishing a melodic line#and her name being a piece of musical terminology is supposed to be a fun reference to how sirens are infamous for their songs#(..I should stress that fiori's singing doesn't have the typical mythological effect of a siren's song. it just sounds nice)#i've never actually directly copied tags off a reblog before soooo hopefully this works#clara tag!#since.. you were the one who asked the question I guess?? >w<#I just wanted to make sure you saw this hehe#so to cut a long story short it's just me trying to make myself sound vaguely more canon than i actually am like always haha

there's something specifically inside my head that is closing up that makes trusting anything so hard. i have to manually keep my mind open to the potential of anything being significant. i am so used to things being bad and things hurting and things not working and being powerless that it takes an exorbitant amount of mental energy to make sure I don't let myself shut down possibility. and I do it because I never want a certainty inside of me besides love to rule anything. but I want my brain elastic again. i want it open like breathing. it doesn't erase the unfairness or the critique or any of the bitter-built philosophy.
#it's so hard to describe what I mean. i think it's the combo of the like. specific part of my brain's development + the amount of trauma#I have endured + the degree of which that has been taking place on a backdrop of the world being incredibly injust no matter what I do#this is very very silly but the extent of how much this impacts me was made clear by how like. closed off I was to even liking an album by#my favourite singer. like obviously I am obsessively keeping myself open I would never let my preconceived sense of doom and stubbornness#control my willingness to let things in#but it shouldn't be so hard to keep my mind open to things like... liking my favourite musician of most of my life's music...........#and that's a VERY silly example but that's why it's easier to talk about. it takes so much work to be open enough for things like therapy#or religion because they've damaged me so much#how am i supposed to handle this on a backdrop of constant constant helplessness in the face of living insecurity and illness and trauma?#the problem is if you try so so so hard again and again and remain hopeful regardless of how illogical that hope is#but you get let down so constantly since you're never stop trying ever even when systems fail you again and again#and you're watching horrible things happen and everything that shapes you is horror#then regardless of how much you try it's so hard to let yourself let go of the very realistic lived experience of doubt and critique#and I DO. do NOT get me wrong. I am obsessive and refuse to be my own problem#but the act of doing so shouldn't be like this. it's in everything i do. from simple things like listening to new music to even the mere#possibility of a future#i am very worried this one is going to be misinterpreted bc I AM NOT saying I'm stubborn in the face of systems that have repeatedly failed#me. I AM NOT. I am saying to not be shouldn't take this work when it envelops the rest of my life.#if anyone reads this far please please acknowledge the degree of which I almost pathologically try again and again when I can guarantee#nearly everyone wouldn't and still fight to keep myself open to hope because that's just something in me that is like that. but BEING like#that is. repeatedly putting yourself in situations where you are powerless already and helpless to get better and then are hurt more and#there's no way to escape it's just the repeated nature of it and then trying to not be the issue.#it's the problem in itself.#my ambition SHOULD be smarter.#god I'll go into this when I fully understand it another time. i don't think i have this phrased in a way to make all the dots of what i#mean correlate in the significant ways to anyone but me#but hey i guess i'm expecting anyone to read this in a light to misperceive me in the first place instead of accept maybe I'm not explainin#well or giving me the benefit of the doubt. see.#delete
