Hello :D saw your tag on the sheet for the Final Map theme of Gaiden, and I just wanted to pop in to say that, unfortunately, due to *one* note (a high sol / G, I swear, that there's only one note like that annoys me), it is a sheet for a double chamber ocarina rather than a single chamber 12 holes ocarina

But also

HELL YEAH the ocarina is such a neat instrument, I have enjoyed it a lot, it's really cool to see someone else play it :)

Damn... I haven't played either my six or twelve hole ocarina in so long because it's loud and annoys my family. But on the occasion when I'm the only one in the house I do try to play it on occasion.

Why is it so hard to play instaments in this game??

[shores-of-oblivion]

God how do I even start this.

So I'm doing my yearly rewatch of Evangelion as one depressed artist does, and I noticed some similarities in the concept of the Human Instamentality project and the Artifact ending.

The Human Instamentality project is, as simply as I can manage because Eva is dense and Like That, a plan to kick-start the next phase of evolution and combine all of humanity into a single god-like entity. The shadowy organization of Seele wants to do this to ascend humanity into a perfect, content being, while Gendo Ikari, the main characters father, wants to do this so he can be reunited with his wife. While I am loathe to compare the two on account of Elster being a perfect sweet angel who I adore and Gendo being just the fucking worst, both are willing to perform an esoteric/biblical rite involving death and the sacrifice of oneself, as well as ushering in the apocalypse, all so they can see their loved one again.

The description of the Key of Sacrifice, one of three needed to unlock the artifact ending, has these incredibly biblical descriptions/quotes on it that sort of started me down this absurd rabbit hole. And I mean that very literally, it reads like something right out of Revelations. A third of all life in the sea dies, a star falls to the sea and thunder like the trumpet of angels sounds. This doesn't paint a happy picture to me, but one full of death and doom and the end times. It feels apocalyptic.

And, when the Instrumentality project is finally started, everyone turns into Sunny D and becomes a single entity, something which is also described in Signalis but with a flesh theme. Everyone breaks down and becomes one with each other while our main character struggles with their identity while confronting horrors both divine and man-made. In Eva it takes a more introspective look with Shinji, and in Signalis it's eldritch horror.

The other two keys are Love and Eternity. Love is Ariane speaking of teaching Elster to dance and falling in love with her, and Eternity openly tells us that we will never have all the answers. Only heartbreak awaits us. Maybe I'm just being a depressed artist, I'll gladly wear that crown, but my current thoughts are that while the Artifact ending does see Elster and Ariane dance together again, it comes at such an incredible cost. All three keys together paint a depressing picture for me.

And as a further note of comparison between Signalis and Eva, the Rebuild series is all about retelling the story of Neon Genesis Evangelion with some minor differences at the start before wildly diverging with a different ending and outcome for the world and the characters while using a bunch of reoccuring imagery and playing with the idea that this story has happened multiple times. And every telling of the story is big on themes of identity and personhood and figuring out who you are. Which, y'know, plays a big part in Elsters journey. And I don't think this is me reaching, the false ending directly references episode 26 of NGE and Shinjis struggle with his own identity as an individual, and the steam page credits Hideaki Annos work as a source of inspiration.

ALSO both use dream sequences and feature sad queer characters having a rough fucking time on trains, both use horror imagery with the main artificial humanoids around the 2/3 mark, both have endings which feature a beach, I'm loosing my mind.

You watch one messy mecha anime as a teenager and it fucking ruins your life. I need to go lie down.

[cryotrash]

Long-time follower (yours was one of first blogs I followed upon joining tumblr in 2014 iirc) first time asker here - just finally got around to reading all of D&W including BPA and Dreamspace and fucking love it. Was wondering if there are any plans to reprint any of the print editions produced to date? I missed the Kickstarter for volume 1 and would dearly like to have this on my shelf at some point lol. Thanks for reading regardless and looking forward to the next instament!

Hey, thanks so much for reading, im so glad to hear youre still enjoying the comic <3

I had plans to do a Kickstarter earlier this year, but then Life happened and I moved to Germany with literally 2 suitcases, so that's gonna be my life for the foreseeable future - I do want to get back to printing comics, but not sure when I'll be able to. Hopefully in the new year!

«My daughter Grace: her life and loves» (Part III)

Final instament. Third part by Mrs. Margaret Kelly

There were days, before my daughter Grace agreed to marry Prince Rawer III of Monaco, when I was certain that many gossip columnists in this country were hard-pressed for material. Those were the days when the were linking Grace’s name with that of every man she ever went out with, and with several whom she didn’t even know.

Ray Milland, Bing Crosby, Oleg Cassini, and Jean-Pierre Aumont were the ones, the columnists said, who captured Gracie’s affections for varying lengths of time.

[slavicafire]

Any information on Slavic instaments?

I know of the balalaika, and the hurdy gurdy was popular in the Kievan Rus’.

But any others?

quite obviously, yes.

what information are you looking for? names of the instruments alone? periods when they emerged? regions where they were popular? all of these are very easily googleable, and lists are readily available online, for example on Wikipedia.

you can check out the folk music article for some quick hyperlinks leading to more specific texts about particular regions and instruments.
