happy pride month
I saw a Skyrim video last night and was reminded of how funny I find "RPG game but I replace the blank slate protagonist with isekai'd Susan Pevensie." And then as I was falling asleep my brain was like "you know what would be even funnier than Susan Pevensie in Skyrim? Susan AND Boromir in Skyrim." And my brain is right, that would be fucking hilarious.
Boromir: good, you're finally awake.
Susan: where the bloody hell am I????
Boromir: that's a very good question that I wish I had the answer to.
Actually I think it's the other way around. Boromir wakes up from what he thought was a deathbed hallucination of a beautiful woman telling him to live to find himself in a cart being taken to prison. Susan, who has had several hours to freak out and is now mostly adjusted, is like "Yeah this (finding yourself in a different world for no discernable reason) happens to me sometimes. First time?"
which one is the dragonborn
Susan
Boromir
A secret, third thing (both)
Very amused by the idea that Susan and Boromir are making "DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON" faces at each other during the execution prologue/tutorial, and then when they have time they both realize that neither of them have any clue and pair bond with each other. And that's BEFORE they kill a dragon and Susan absorbs its soul by accident and turns out to be some god chosen hero destined to kill things despite being 50% a pacifist. She is never getting rid of Boromir now he's her bodyguard forever. Good luck trying to fire him.

has this been done already? am i embarrassingly late to the party?
some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it
Shakespeare is like this
Prev please I beg of you why should we all have a burning appreciation for Vivaldi
AHHAHA well I also got another message asking for the Vivaldi freakout so. y'all brought this on yourselves <3 <3
FIRST THING TO UNDERSTAND: Baroque music is really really fucking cool. You could see it as a reaction to more constrained medieval/renaissance music, which was often obsessive about certain musical rules. Baroque comes from the Portuguese barroco, "an irregularly-shaped pearl", and was actually used as a criticism meaning something very weird, dissonant, overly extravagant, etc. It's seen as very structured but is in fact a collection of big ol' "fuck yous" to the previous era of musical structure. SECOND THING TO UNDERSTAND: Vivaldi was really really fucking cool. He was nicknamed "The Red Priest" as a young spicey ginger, and for many years he was the violin maestro at a combo orphanage/music school for girls. He wrote a zillion works specifically for the girls to perform, coached them in music theory and instruments, and helped many of them launch esteemed careers abroad. Also the board of directors hated him and kept firing him and then realizing they needed him and bringing him back, for reasons completely lost to history, but probably related to his spiciness. THIRD THING TO UNDERSTAND: "The Four Seasons" is really really fucking cool. It's written to accompany four sonnets with super vivid imagery including sudden spring/summer storms ("Thunderstorms, those heralds of Spring, roar, casting their dark mantle over heaven!"), mad drunken revelry, the chase of hunting dogs, slipping on ice and eating shit, etc. When you hear it played properly it's very much not "this pretty song kinda reminds me of spring" but "oh wow I can hear dogs barking in the viola section, chirping birds in the violins, a summer storm wrecking the fuck out of my grain, and dangerously crackling ice!" FOURTH THING TO UNDERSTAND: "The Four Seasons" is rarely played in the spirit of its time. This is Mozart's fault. Well, not really, he didn't tell anyone to play it wrong. But he did give rise to a cult of strings players who play in a very "Mozartian" style - light, pretty, clean, effortless. And for some reason (ahem. some reason i won't go into as this is long enough), this playing style has become the predominant mode for The Four Seasons. Which makes it sound like light, pretty, clean, fancy music.
As we covered above, it is baroque music, so it is not any those things! It's weird and crunchy and extravagant, with musical affectations that would have been considered revolutionary at the time. If you're playing it in the baroque tradition you're also going to be adding your own ornamentations and expressions. Bringing your own weirdness is encouraged in baroque music.
Basically, it's a crime that everyone sees Four Seasons as "fancy music that plays in movies when rich people are onscreen" when it was written by The Red Priest Who Ran A Girls School For Orphans When That Was Very Much Not The Done Thing And Pissed Off the Board At Every Opportunity, and written during a musical period that history has classified specifically as a fuck-you to "pretty and clean and fancy."
For some real crunchy Four Seasons, I will always recommend Adrian Chandler & the Serenissima. BUCKLE UP TO GET YOUR SHIT WRECKED AND YOUR WHEAT CROPS MURDERED BY A SUMMER STORM!!
When my mother forgets a wordļæ¼, she is the queen of coming up with new words. Words that would take a third National Treasure movie to fully decipher.ļæ¼ I was talking to her yesterday, and she said this: āYou know the time for los jibbities is coming upļæ¼. You must be so excited!āļæ¼ Oh, is it time for los jibbities already?ļæ¼ I must have missed it on my calendar. ļæ¼Are we celebrating something? āOf courseļæ¼! We should all be celebrating, shouldnāt we?ā ļæ¼OK, so los jibbities is a happy thing.ļæ¼ Itās not like something is giving you the heebie-jeebies, which would have been my one and only guess.ļæ¼ āLos heebie-jeebies? Now youāre making things up.ļæ¼..and this is my show.ā Youāre right. The time for los jibbities is coming upļæ¼. Is this a season? āYes, the season for love. The season for pride.āļæ¼ OK, los jibbities. āYeah, sound it out.ā Losā¦jibbities. LGBTs! āSĆ, mira cuz youāre gay!ā āYou couldnāt just say pride season? You couldnāt just⦠*laughs*
HAPPY LOS JIBBITIES EVERYBODY!!!
The time for Los Jibbities has arrived!
it's midnight on the 1st of june aest
posting this again cause now its actually true

oops narrative parallels
This world is so beautiful. People are shipping Ryan gosling and markiplier. Because they were both in space movies you see
Tumblr users love to do things like this. I DO NOT mean this in a mocking way to be completely clear. I think it's cute. It reminds me of back in the day when people shipped jack frost and elsa cause they both have ice powers.
Or like the superwholock thing. Tumblr users like to go "I like this thing AND that thing.. What if my FAVORITE CHARACTERS met each other? Would that be cool or WHAT!" And the thing is it's absolutely adorable
You can say it's cringe or bad or missing the point of the movie all you want but I don't care. Yeah man, I bet it would be really cute if there was a happy ending and the blood murder man (in space) got saved by the dorky science teacher (in space) and they had yaoi moments. I'm so glad you're having fun
Honestly, if you see an angel thatās all eyes and wings and wheels of fire, you should be worried. Like, not because itās going to hurt you or anything, but because scripturally, angels invariably appear to ordinary people in human form. In general, they only show their inhuman true forms to prophets ā which means if youāre seeing them like that, they come bearing responsibility.
Me: [opens door]
Wheels upon wheels, eyes of flame, the roar of a thousand wingbeats: BE NOT-
Me: nope [closes door]
Bearer of the throne of heavenly God, through door: YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO-
Me: I donāt live here
Celestially Ordained Mover of the Unmoved: I CAN SEE YOU-
Me: fuck off!

Someone pointed out that itās hard to find the full comic so here it is all at once!
Me: *Scrolling Tumblr*
A beloved mutual: *Posts Discworld posts*
Me: This isn't the anniversary of his death, is it? Pretty sure that's back in March. It's - Oh.
Oh.
So anyway, a Glorious 25th of May to you all.
This took me sooooo many days and Iām not big on it in the end lmao. But the hyperfix is fixing.
Purely i wanted to make this comic because I was listening to a lot of Tom Waits (specifically his Blood Money album) when thinking about Simon, and one somber little song especially had me thinking. Shout out āAll The World Is Greenā itās going triple platinum for me and me alone.
I like their secret little third thing they got going on in my head.
