i love romeo and cinderella

[lesbianchemicalplant]

it's always wild to me when people are like. not only comfortable in front of live cameras but spatially aware and coordinated to the point where they practically control how they look through the lens. and like, they're not glancing down to see how their jacket is sitting on them at a given moment....

is there ever like, a preview screen facing them so they can kind of see what the frame currently looks like? but even if there were it's not like you could stare at that

gotta say, nosferatu was fun and well shot and had some amazing performances but i was really surprised to see the seal of solomon being like the big evil sign of evil in a movie in 2024, i think that's really gauche. it's also weird because afaik that type of occultism didn't even become popularized until well after the movie takes place. like helena blavatsky is three years old during these events... im aware that the seal existed prior, but it would have been way more interesting to see something a little more contemporary, like rosicrucianism or something. i think this disinterest in its symbols sort of makes sense when you look at the very 1800s plot more broadly. i think instead of watching the plot of dracula play out obsessively beat for beat it would have been more fun to see exploration of the main character. i liked the distractingly anachronistic bookshelf with the open back that i kept seeing and going what is this modern bookshelf doing here and then she knocks it over later and i was like ohhh it's so she can knock it over later

scott and pearl both love plastering over their emotions in equal and opposite ways and its why they're the only ones who usually get through each other's facades

i love how seeing how much faith she has in gojo. not even breaking a sweat. coupled with her cursed energy/medical knowledge, her commentary felt so reassuring compared to the stress of the other characters

So I'm on a Discord server for classical music lovers, and there are a few chatbots for famous composers (yes, I do not support AI all that much, but sometimes these chatbots are just entertaining). And earlier this month, I copy-pasted the following question to every composer bot chat channel on the server:

And here are the responses I got:

Händel:

Bach:

Stravinsky:

Chopin:

Shostakovich:

Beethoven:

Mozart:

Satie:

So I guess in conclusion, all these composers from different eras of classical music are saying that there is more to music than pleasantness/unpleasantness, and that it should be diverse.

I LOVE reading your and other people's headcanons on your blog. It's fascinating how many different and amazing interpretations there are of Vlad’s and Danny's relationship. So I thought I could share something too. I was wondering: If pompous pep had a theme or soundtrack, what would their relationship sound like? If you could compose something for them, what would the ideal musical piece look like based on your own headcanons? (regardless of genre and instrument) Due to the different depictions of Pompep, there are countless possibilities for answering this question, which is what makes the whole thing so interesting. I’m not a musician, but I try to describe how I would imagine their dynamic as a theme. I’m a sucker for dark, twisted, and toxic pompep with a lot of miscommunication, power imbalance, and unhealthy relationship dynamics. Their theme would start as a combination of their human themes. Vlad’s song would be quiet, with an unsettling undertone, reflecting his loneliness and longing for love. Danny’s theme—vibrant and playful—would perfectly fill in the “missing” parts in Vlad's tune, creating a nearly perfect harmony. However, as their relationship continues, their ghost halves cause dissonance. Plasmius, whose theme embodies Vlad’s greed, hedonism, hunger for power, and obsessions, would slowly corrupt and manipulate the piece, creating a powerful, melodramatic twist and change of pace. Phantom's moral dilemma would also seep into the theme. He can’t accept that despite their relationship, Vlad cannot and does not want to free himself from his "villainous" behavior. The climax would be messy, dramatic, and devastating. Both half-alive and the only ones of their kind, dancing in a destructive waltz between the borders of the mortal realm and the gates of death as their cores consume each other.

I never gave much thought to an original musical score written for solo Pompep, but this is a great question! As I read your ask I found myself agreeing very much with your descriptions (which were beautiful, by the way, and very accurate, in my opinion). Though I think that Danny's theme wouldn't be solely bright and playful, considering that he's also experienced a lot of teenage angst—bullies, academic disappointment, anger, etc—as well as life-altering consequences of being fried to a half-dead state by his parents' portal. There would be some bittersweet notes in there for sure, perhaps similar in melody to Vlad's theme? Or maybe a segue that joins the great opuses of their lives together. Because that is the one thing they have in common, isn't it? Tragic accidents that altered their lives forever. Turned them into the only two of their kind, just like you said. A beautiful, sorrowful symphony 🎼

the other thing abt rei and eichi as they relate to specifically keito is that both of them as kids were raised in a way where they were praised almost excessively.... rei through being a source of advice and a "genius" that adults respected and almost worshipped, eichi for his position as the tenshouin heir and with the privilege that gave him... both of them are effectively asking and trusting keito to see them as more than just this elevated figure that other people refuse to criticize out of fear and wanting to appease them which is why they have the fights in quarrel fes/succession match... keito being someone that they trust to see the actual them instead of treating them like how everyone thinks they want to be treated with this endless praise and pleasing and coddling...

Ta-dahhhh, a drawing that took me too long. It would have taken me less time had I quit second-guessing everything and taking 3 hour breaks after fixing one line. BUT YEE, I ACTUALLY LIKE IT VERY MUCH. For once. (Also, shoutout to my fren, @paintedkinzy-88 for teaching me how mirrors work. It is a long story. Although, probably only "long" because of my habit of telling things 5k words longer than they needed to be-)

Now, long headcanon rambling alert. This drawing is like... the ungodly compilation of so many of my headcanons. I absolutely didn't need to stuff it full of things I believe to be true so wholeheartedly, but I d i d.

First headcanon: Ink can feel. He has the capacity to experience emotions, he just needs a little help to do it. So, he has to take his vials to experience something that many people don't even need to think about. However, this leads to ✧˖°.angst.✧˖°. Ink has a whole lot of self-doubt and he second-guesses his "emotions" all the time because, technically, his emotions are artificially induced. Therefore, by extension, does that make the emotions themselves artificial? This leads well into my second headcanon.

Second headcanon: Ink's vials are basically an allegory for antidepressants. Suppose someone has been depressed for a very, very long time and then they get on antidepressants. They might become really disoriented. Because, really, which version of themself is the truest form of them? The happy, upbeat version of them is strange and foreign after being depressed for so long. Is the happy version truly them, or was it the other, depressed version of themself that they spent so many years living as? So, as ya can see, the 3rd day prompt for Inktobertale fit beautifully with my headcanons. <3

Third headcanon: Ink experiences a strong wave of whatever range of emotions pertaining to a particular vial after he takes it. For example, yellow, he'd experience a strong wave of joy, happiness, euphoria, etc., and for red, anger, fury, outrage, etc. The little sticky note in the corner of the mirror is a reminder that it's easier to take all the vials together than to spread them out. If he takes them all together, he can experience each strong wave in immediate succession. It's exhausting and he nearly has everything taken out of him at the end, but the ordeal is less... awful than if he spread it out for half an hour taking them one by one. That's why the cup is there hehe-

The little pictures on the mirror represent happier times! :D Since taking his vials, or his "medicine," is such an uncomfortable experience, having pictures on his mirror to remind him of happier times and that he has people that care about him really helps. He can pluck up the courage to actually take the vials after glancing over at beloved faces. ;_;

The holiday picture actually has a funny backstory behind it; the three of them were celebrating Gyftmas together at Blue's house, but it was during a time Dream was still fairly new to uh, "modern day traditions." I headcanon Dream acts really old and after being stuck in stone for so long, is like... tragically so far behind the times. He uses old timey lingo, has a very bad habit of comparing his centuries old age to your common AU resident, and comes off as, "How do you do, fellow kids-" more often than he would like. As such, he didn't understand why you would "dress up" for the holidays. He freaking showed up in his normal attire and was baffled why Blue and Ink were dressed differently. They made a lot of fun of him. Ink got a new sketchbook that he's holding in the picture. <3

The other picture... of course has a backstory. I'm s o r r y, okay. It is a problem, I can't quit sneaking Errorink into whatever I do. That little picture is of a time they were hanging out together cuddling in the antivoid. Error wrote the little note on the picture to remind Ink that his emotions are just as real and valid as the rest of them, and that if anyone were to tell him otherwise, he'd fight 'em. He told him to slap it on his mirror as a reminder when he goes to take his "medicine." ;_; <3 Will I find a way to sneak this into a fic/make a new fic with this scene? Probably, but I'm choosing not to worry about it rn-

FINALLY. LAST HEADCANON, I'M SORRY- Some of you may have noticed the sneaky little Asriel hiding in the picture. >:) Even that has lore behind it! :D It comes from an AU I call Storetale that I made up in two minutes solely to excuse the blatant goat bro easter egg.

Storetale is set in a timeline where the monsters and humans live on the surface together in harmony. But oh noooo, one day, Asgore and Toriel died in a bad car crash, and they left poor Chara and Asriel alone. ;_; Not to worry though! Mettaton adopted the two and they both became child celebrities. But not on tv, mind you. Nooo, they became the mascots of Mettaton's extremely successful supermarket chain, MettaStore. The AU follows the two as they deal with their very odd claim to fame, as well as the fact of being children and the face of a multi-million gold supermarket franchise.

I like to headcanon that Ink likes to watch this AU because of how wacko and heartfelt it can be at times. He got the soap in the picture from that AU, branded Golden Flower Soap. I also like to think Ink introduced Error to that AU and he unironically got invested into it too because of the contrived problems it comes up with similar to Undernovela.

AND THERE. THAT IS ALL. This was just the ultimate compilation of all my headcanons into a singular drawing that no one would ever know unless I made this ungodly long post to explain each and every one in detail even though no one asked. ;_; I'm sorry for such the long post. If any of you brave souls read this far, thank you and I hope I managed to spread my headcanons further-

✧˖°.Bonus:✧˖°. Here is a version with alternate eyes 'cus I couldn't choose which one I liked more and then one without a blurred background. Now, you can see the Errorink background details more clearly if you would like :D

'the reason why i say nobody should interact with anything israeli ever but don't have that same rigor for russia is because russia is a country with a long history that israel doesn't so there' okay and do you think that long history was also sunshine and rainbows? do you think russia got to the size that it did with the power of friendship? do you think russian history only started in february of 2022? are you stupid?

not to be about opera again but to be about opera again. as an art form it has the reputation of being super stuffy and something for snobs who don't know how to have fun only but honestly this was one of, perhaps even THE main theatrical entertainment for centuries. i wish people knew how hard these things can go and how engaging they can be. like characters kill and die and fight wars and (almost) commit human sacrifice left and right. characters fall in love they mourn they're ecstatic they cry they're furious it's an extremely dramatic and emotional art form! and i understand that opera does not appear approachable bc of the general conventions of the art form but i promise old works can be fun and engaging if you go watch them with some preparation beforehand (reading the libretto helps) - not to mention not all operas are old bc there are so many modern operas which engage with topical events! also the music slaps.
