Blade's De-evolutionary Chain

Timed ourselves the other day to see how quickly we could draw Blade. the first was a test of how fast we could comfortably draw him and after that we just kept halving the time and suffering.

I just reblogged this post, and for good reason--when I saw it, it made me freeze. Dragonbrain turned on and I felt the strongest wing shift of my life and started doing a fear-response throat click. While I am not familiar with that particular building or even the book it's from, and it's definitely not a source or anything, it's so eerily similar to something in my dragon-self's memories that I know what the stone of that place feels like under my claws.

I also know what it sounds like to hear chains drag across its floors.

The absolute flood of noemata, of impressions, I got from this is insane. I have to write them down fast before I forget.

The stone is rough and course under claws.

There were chains. I was chained.

There were other dragons, too, and most were chained, although some were ridden by... something, some smaller creatures, and while they did not want to be, realistically, they had no choice

I was much, much smaller--an adolescent, maybe? I remember thinking that I could carry one of the smaller humanoids (I think they were humanoids, and I'll just call them that for now) if I had to but it wouldn't be easy. (For reference, the size I'm usually used to knowing myself to be is, like, fifty feet.)

I don't think all of my red markings had come in yet. I could be wrong, but my visual memories aren't showing me the markings on my forelimbs.

I was in a... cell, I think, down in a dungeon, and chained up like a horse is tied to a post. There were other dragons down there, too, the ones that were either there for "early processing" or tossed down there until they "broke." I think? It was dark, and wet, and stony, and some of us were kept down there.

There was a dull red dragon down there with me, a male, I think an adult but not a terribly old one--by my noemata and reconstruction of my language, that would make the correct pronouns muut/muuk/muuv, so we'll just go with those.

I don't know muuv name but I think it started with an Ez- sound, maybe ended in an -iel? Human brain wants to say Ezekiel but that's obviously not right... or maybe it was an El- with a z not long after? Elaziel, Ezkhaliel? I don't know. Something like that.

Muut... couldn't fly, I think, or couldn't walk, or something. Muut was missing a limb, or had a badly damaged one... I know muut had a really badly fucked up forelimb but I think muuv wings were messed up, too? I don't know for sure. All I know is, muut was scarred and beaten, and muuv spirit was basically broken. Seeing me, though, reignited something in muuk, like muut couldn't stand to see such a young dragon down there.

I think muut aided in my escape, somehow? I don't know for sure, but I can hear muuv scratchy voice shouting "Mor anor axid, mor anor axid! Mor anor axid veran!" which is "Let them fly, let them fly! Let them fly away!" The use of anor tells me there were multiple escapees--Dranonic's singular pronouns are gender-neutral and you would never call another single dragon anor, since it's strictly plural.

I know I got away, somehow, perhaps because the dragon mounts of the humanoids heeded the red dragon's cry, or maybe I just got lucky. I took a bad injury, somewhere on my right side...? I don't know where, exactly.

I think there was a light green dragon involved somewhere in all of that, too, but I don't know where. Female, and older than me, I think, so prrrobably same pronoun set as the red dragon? I don't remember much about muut though, just that muut was down there in the dungeons with us.

The humanoids wanted us for... something. Mounts, mostly, I think, although I get the distinct impression that there was an arena, too. Maybe that's what the dungeon was for.

I think that the humanoids harvested the bodies of those of us who died. Scales for armor, wing membrane for cloaks, bones and claws and teeth for weapons.

I know that I flew far, far away from that place, and I think I never looked back. I don't think that, even as an adult, I ever returned, not even for vengeance. I wanted to never fear them again.

So... uh. What the fuck, I guess. That's a hell of a discovery!

Aca Top 10: Summer Hits 2014 — VoicePlay music video

After the whirlwind schedule of the first Sing-Off tour, completing several video projects it spawned, and then embarking on a series of cruise ship gigs, VoicePlay were ready for some summertime relaxation. For the first installment in their "Aca Top 10" series, they put together a countdown of recent chart-toppers. Recording it live meant that, once they got a good take, there was very little post-production required.

Details:

title: Aca Top 10 — Summer Hits 2014

original songs / performers: "Happy" by Pharrell Williams; [0:15] "Summer" by Calvin Harris; [0:32] "Turndown for What" by DJ Snake & Lil John; [0:42] "Wiggle" by Jason Derulo, featuring Snoop Dogg; [0:58] "All of Me" by John Legend; [1:13] "Stay with Me" by Sam Smith; [1:30] "Am I Wrong" by Nico & Vinz; [1:48] "Rude" by Magic!; [2:03] "Problem" by Ariana Grande, featuring Iggy Azalea; [2:22] "Fancy" by Iggy Azalea, featuring Charli XCX

written by: "Happy" by Pharrell Williams; "Summer" by Calvin Harris; "Turn Down for What" by William "DJ Snake" Grigahcine, Steve Guess, Jonathan "Lil John" Smith, & Martin "Tchami" Bresso; "Wiggle" by Jason Derulo, Ricky Reed, Andreas "Axident" Schuller, Jacob Kasher, Sean Douglas, "John the Blind" Ryan, Joe Spargur, & Calvin "Snoop Dogg" Broadus; "All of Me" by John Legend & Toby Gad; "Stay with Me" by Sam Smith, James "Jimmy Napes" Napier, William "Tourist" Phillips, Tom Petty, & Jeff Lynne; "Am I Wrong" by William Wiik Larsen, Nico Sereba, Vincent Dery, & Abdoulie "Abile" Jallow; "Rude" by Magic!, Adam "Messy" Messinger, & Alex Tanas; "Problem" by Max Martin, Savan Kotecha, Ilya Salmanzadeh, Amethyst "Iggy Azalea" Kelly, & Ariana Grande; "Fancy" by Amethyst "Iggy Azalea" Kelly, Charlotte "Charli XCX" Aitchison, George Astasio, Jason Pebworth, Jonathan Christopher Shave, & Kurtis "The Arcade" McKenzie

arranged by: Geoff Castellucci & Layne Stein

release date: 11 August 2014

My favorite bits:

Tony's aura of genuine enjoyment during "Happy"

Geoff and Layne's concerned reactions to the beginning of "Wiggle"

Earl and Eli whistling in flawless harmony

Layne gazing wistfully into the distance during "All of Me" because there's no percussion for him to do

the sincerity in their voices during "Stay With Me", and Earl's gorgeous high riffing

the cute "Did you know they were from Canada??" note on the sign for "Rude"

♫ "We're gonna give you some number 2." ♫ ::awkward pause::

the perfect fading echo effect at the beginning of "Problem"

Layne spitting bars once again on "Fancy"

Trivia:

Earl made the title-and-artist signs that Layne holds up. (I assume he also made the butts for "Wiggle", but that particular detail wasn't specified.)

"Rude" was part of the "aca-Disney mashup" VoicePlay recorded a few months later as part of the Disney on Broadway 20th anniversary celebration.

They later performed a full version of "Stay With Me" for their VIP sessions during the 2015 Sing-Off tour, and recorded a video for it while they were on the road.

"Wiggle" was also included in Home Free's "Butts Remix" medley, which Layne helped them arrange.

A very speedy creator made a My Little Pony fanvid using the audio from this medley in less than a week.

I decided I was going to compile a bunch of lyrics from my Carmy playlist that work well enough to cause physical pain

“I’ve loved you forever. Hell, I’ve loved you all along, and since the screams and shouts won’t stretch these clocks, let’s live our time by, “Oh, just one more song.”

-home by modern baseball

This whole song feels a lot like Carmy missing the idealized version of Mikey he knew when he was a kid

“You hang me up, unfinished, with the better part of me no longer mine.”

-constant headache by joyce manor

Carmy’s genuine passion for cooking has become warped and corrupted. It’s the better part of him, love of his life that he’d never walk away from, but it has been negatively shaped by old bosses, Mikey, and everyone who taught him to cook until, at his lowest points, it doesn’t even feel like his own thing anymore

“I’m not tryna stick it to you, but I’ve been trying hard getting through to you, and I’m not gonna lie. Let’s face it, you know I won’t take it. I’m never gonna take it, and you didn’t even notice. Just running through the motions. Don’t test my patience, and I just can’t take no more.”

-sibling rivalry by pup

This whole song works so so well for a teenage Carmy pissed at Mikey. (Except he is 100% tryna stick it to him)

“You were the only one I cared for, the only one that I can see. I look back at you now, and you’re missing me. And I held you, and I felt you, and I swear we were alright, and I feel like this is it, but I’m not about to quit it. And I promise it’s not over. It’s okay, we’ll be alright.”

-alright by the axidents

Just Carmy feeling his relationship with Mikey start to strain and having no idea what was happening. He swore they were alright, but Mikey never answered his calls. Carm just begging for this to turn out okay.

So yeah, ow
