Vivaldi on his deathbed in 1741: please, put it into my will that the first movement of my Spring concerto can only be used to indicate fancy settings in cartoons or as hold music for the absolute worst call centres.

Vivaldi's lawyer: Antonio what the FUCK does this mean

In The Great Gatsby, Gatsby’s desire for the green light is a symbol of the unattainable American Dream. Similarly in Little Shop of Horrors, Audrey’s desire for “somewhere that’s green” is symbolic of how the American Dream isn’t real. In this essay, I will

random thought bc I've been listening to Six on repeat: the queens claim that the only reason they're remembered is because of Henry, but would Henry be one of the most iconic and well-known English monarchs if not for them?

Yet again posting about Castlevania Nocturne again because this show has an iron grip on my brain.

I've seen some Castlevania 'Purists' complain about Annette being different than in the games and I am. So so baffled. Nocturnes Anette is so much more interesting and fascinating than the original Annette was ever and could ever be. She's not even really a character in Rondo of Blood for crying out loud! She only exists in the games to be the damsel in distress and prize for Richter to get at the end of the game. She is not a character. But now that she finally gets to be a character people get pissy because "She's not like how she is in the games" when the real reason they're mad is they can't handle seeing a badass woman of color standing up for herself.

And while talking about Annette, I'd like to take a moment to appreciate how we're getting to see more than just the Revolution in France. As someone who has a fascination in the French Revolution, I really liked how they're also bringing up the Revolution in Hati (saint-domingue) as we tend to just focus on what was going on in Europe and France at this time, but important Revolutions were also going on all across Frances holdings that still effect what's going on. And getting to see it from the perspective of Annette, a former slave who liberated herself and helped in the Revolution is really cool, especially getting to see her Yoruba heritage from her parents, and her religion. It's also neat to see Hati Creole being used. While this show does have some flaws, Annette is not one of them, and if you're having trouble accepting that then. Idk what to tell you

Anyway back to obsessing over Alucard (and also Juste Belmont)

My dear mutuals, I just realized something.

So, there's been talk recently about breaking Papita out of Mandos and I suppose more of us may need help at some point... but we need one fundamental thing if we are to be able to save one another from some terrible prison (or, idk, recognize each other in a supermarket...):

we need to have a song in common

Like, seriously, the default scheme for breaking someone out from somewhere is: character A start singing, character joins them, character A finds character B and gets them out. Except...

I'm not sure there's any song I could sing together with any of you.

We need to make a list of songs that we all know well enough. Seriously.

18th century jon so he can wear his hair in a queue and prance around being a silly pretty little guy and when he travels to the usa he sees alexander hamilton and is like 'el-oh-el these 'revolutionaries' who think they're so great while they're actually just colonisers i'm gonna go back to england and fight for abolition while staying silly through the horrors even though the magnus institute doesn't exist yet'

i think that would be pretty delightful if just for long-haired jon
