This was recorded by the Portsmouth Sinfonia in an experiment where all the members of the orchestra would swap instruments with each other and attempt to play them to the best of their ability.
literally all the brass starts to get the hang of it and then the crescendos happen and everyone is like FUCK FUCK FUCK??? FUCK. JUST. BLOW RLY HARD.
the strings are lazy but also the same. like u can tell a lot of the ppl w/ the stringed instruments may already basically know how to play stringed instruments. like there’s definitely a section at the beginning where you hear a good portion going “oh yeah this is like. a smaller/bigger version of what i do.”
all you hear of any woodwinds is just “pffffttt??? pFFFTTTT???? PFFFFFTTTT I SAID PFFFFTTTT!!!!!” bc woodwinds are fucking HARD and you hear after like the first crescendo half of them just give up. they give up. they’re done. fuck this it tastes weird and my lips hurt.
that trumpet. that person is fucking TRYING man they fucking GOT this. they may not have figured out notes but they figured out LOUD and they GOT this.
Unsure where this came from, if not the palsied hands of the good Lord himself.
Simple premise: Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” slipped from 45 to 33 rpm. Nothing more; no studio trickery, no trip hop drum breaks. The guitar lopes back in and around itself. The bass becomes elastic, hot rubber. The violin stabs become sustained cello lines. The backing choir’s split harmony rattles around, slinking ghostly into the corner. And most importantly, Parton’s once-frantic vocal is transformed from bubblegum country scrawl into something approximating field holler reverence.
been working on a piano arrangement of black sorrow for a while and did u guys know that the drums at the beginning of black sorrow are inverted from the drum pattern at the end of unknown (till the end) ahaha i really really want to do a musical analysis of the characters but there's too many other thoughts occupying my head
in retrospect it is SO obvious that till was always projecting ivan onto mizi but i just wanna point out some of the discrepancies USING ONLY MV SCREENSHOTS.
in round 2 we get this sequence when he sings "my feelings are Error: no better options" which, i don't think you say that about someone you have a hopeless crush on. what do you mean "no better options," that sounds like you're settling or something. also error??? so you were focused on the wrong person, till??? hmm i wonder what this could be about...
and this one is when he sings "(you'll never know) i don't wanna stop" which... idk! maybe that ivan was never able to know how much he meant to till in his lifetime
anyways this is him fantasizing about mizi, right?? or at least it seems that way. however if you actually look closer, there are some… rather obvious issues…
EXHIBIT A:
her hair is wrong. mizi doesn’t have bangs like that. her bangs are more off to the side and not as straight cut across her forehead. also she just has more hair in general?? screenshots from r1
you know who DOES have bangs cut straight across his forehead? ivan. (r3 but also literally every single art of him)
EXHIBIT B:
this one is subtler, and also what got me thinking about this in the first place, but her eyelashes are also wrong. mizi doesn't have thick lashes like that.
r1 vs r2
as you can see, till draws mizi/visualizes mizi with really thick lashes, and all in a clump. in reality, though, her lashes are thinner, and spikier towards the edges. especially her bottom eyelashes.
do i even need to say who has eyelashes like that? it's one of his distinguishing features! (screenshot from wiege)
EXHIBIT C:
i feel like i'm beating a dead horse at this point, but anyways. the hands behind the back pose. mizi does not do that. IVAN DOES THAT. (more screenshots from wiege)
also, like, her general pose and body language in the “pass” frame are so so SO reminiscient of ivan. like if you remove the ponytail and glasses that is basically just ivan but with pink hair. till you are NOT subtle at all buddy…
anyways! i think most people are aware by now that till was projecting onto mizi, but maybe never noticed how far back the clues were. they were right there from the start. it's just that we got a little blinded from the story telling us that till has a crush on mizi. (or at least i did lol). alnst is one of those media where you notice new things every time you rewatch and it's really nice to pick up on them
Man no one even remembers laptop in bed. It was laptop in bed for years. Now it's just phone in bed. Maybe tablet. But usually phone. So much has changed
there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.
short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.
meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

Hi! I have two ao3 accounts, and i was wondering of there was a way to completely move a fic from one to the other without deleting and reposting? I've added the second acc as a co-creator but I cannot remove the first. Is there a solution to this? I would really love to keep all my comments and kudos
I'm afraid you'll need to ask either Support or PAC for help with this one. I don't know why you'd be unable to remove the original account unless:
there's a technical issue occurring for some reason (Support)
your original account is currently suspended (PAC)
you cannot access the original account because you forget your password (Support)
you cannot access the original account because it is not yours (PAC)
I'm assuming it's just a technical issue that Support can help you with, but if it's one of the other things then hopefully you can contact the right team to assist.
Both email forms are linked in the website's footer. Support is linked under Technical Support & Feedback. PAC's is linked under Policy Questions & Abuse Reports
Iirc you have to go to the original account and remove it from that side - you wouldn't be able to remove it from your second account. The option will be at the top when you go in to edit the work as a button that says "remove me as a co-creator"
1) From the Original Account, add the New Account as co-creator (you did this!)
2) From New Acct, go to Co-Creator Requests and accept the request
3) From Original Acct, go into edit work and choose Remove Me As Co-Creator at the top of the page
This should do it!
The new acct isn’t officially a co-creator until accepting the request, and the original can’t be removed from the work if the new acct isn’t fully a co-creator.
Love the fact that in any other time period or country, a presidential assassination attempt is constant headline news worldwide, but at this point it's like, "oh, someone took another shot at trump? ... he dead?... no, then why are you bothering me?... Let me know when he's dead."
from what i can tell it seems like twt is more inclined to think zombie stage is sci fi/story within a story and tumblr is more inclined towards it being an actual zombie apocalypse??? fascinating.
im personally more of the sci-fi opinion given that vivimeng said they wanted alnst to be sci-fi??? and the zombie au + hs au overlap just feels off somehow. like it's not what it appears to be and there's some metatextual thing we're missing. the glitches/cracks in the header... but i'm not opposed to it being a more straightforward "they were hs students who got infected" zombie apocalypse scenario either i'm mostly just really excited for more from vivimeng ahaha
i JUST woke up holy shit. funnily enough right before i became fully conscious i had the thought like, "i feel like i'm going to open twt and see all my moots freaking out" which, CRAZY premonition to have
smash cut actually i vced a friend and then had class so now its been a few hrs.
anyways! where do i even start with this,
the hs setting is obviously a frame narrative for the zombie au. i’m still not too sure whether it’ll serve as the frame for ALL the aus or just zombie au, but rn i’m leaning towards the latter bc of how this seems to reflect the modern au they showed in wiege, which we later saw in karma but through a computer screen and appearing as though on a security camera feed??
this thing here. ALSO THE FACT THAT THIS OCCURS RIGHT AS MIZI IS SAYING “even if we’d been granted freedom we’d still have felt alone” LIKE OKAY,,
and then the previous header and icon layout on twt showing mizi’s bloodshot (?) eye and the crack/glitch in the header (don’t have screenshots sorry) and also the bio being confirmed as “still alive, it hurts.” which given the description of the undead seeming to live a halflife, matches pretty well. and the fact that the new tag is just zombie au.
also the hs promo art shows only hyuna looking back, and how hyuna is the only one not involved in the show and seems to know more than she lets on in the comic
the contestants are the other five, here
ANYWAYS all that to say i think it’s a little too specific to allow the hs au to be the frame narrative for ALL the aus??? but we shall see. i like a friend’s theory that the hs setting is actually a simulation and while they think they’re watching a zombie movie, it’s their reality. but i’m excited to find out what’s actually happening
AND THEN! conspiracy theory time. i went back and rewatched karma and it suddenly occurred to me that the karma hearts are gemstones and they have this black goo and i am 99.99% convinced they have something to do with the new zombie au bc in the comic mizi describes the zombie disease as “a mysterious epidemic where rare gemstones grow inside the body sweeps across humanity with terrifying force”.
do you see what i’m trying to say here. there’s NO WAY this isn’t related somehow (don’t mind the bilibili logo that's her official acc i just prefer it for screenshots bc i dont have to deal with ads)
THERE IS NO WAY THIS ISN’T RELATED. I JUST DON’T KNOW HOW YET. also this??? the heart and the thorns growing out of her??? the zombie disease being one where rare gemstones grow inside the body???
also pls look at this??? the markings on sua’s legs and this scene from karma??? the hearts with the connecting veins are also featured prominently in the 2nd album, florentem
and as part of the album set, there is a series of files which contain javascript pertaining to each character (my friend did a wonderful job explaining them here!) BUT YOU SEE WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY HERE.
the circus-y music in the teaser also reminds me a lot of mizi's sub songs, witch in particular which has the same sound, but MirroR's lyrics still reflect the fairytale-esque tone of this. AND THEN SUA'S SUB SONG BEING CALLED HEART. and honestly, bon bon Jellyfish Planet applies too bc of how it's structured like a play and sounds like a lullaby.
okay. holy shit. rant done. all this is stc of course, we shall find out in a few weeks what's happening i guess! i'm so so so excited for alnst's return oh my god
wait addendum: it's like obvious (?) in hindsight now the amount of foreshadowing there is but like, at the time i don't think ANY of us could have predicted that mizi's sub songs would also be foreshadowing this au. like holy shit there is SO MUCH happening rn and im so!! i'm so excited for more alnst
well, i think i take back on a lot of what i said. i saw a theory that yes they watch a zombie horror movie called zombie stage in highschool, but then an actual zombie outbreak occurs in the future and hyuna's the only one not infected and she wants to save her old friends.
i think this is a lot more interesting than if it was just a club watching movies and projecting themselves onto the characters [mostly for the sake of us, the viewer, who are attached to these characters and their dynamics already]
...overall i think it's pretty safe to say either way i don't think it's related to alien stage itself so cheers to that !! proper full on spin off with it's own name
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH btw i have so much to say about the teaser and the comic but the one thing i cant stop thinking about is that certain people seem to be sweating/overheating(…?) in the comic.
Like in these frames, mizi, till and luka are all sweating…(same as the ones who were alive at the end of alnst??) but for till, it might just be a reaction to Ivan so im not sure
But in these next frames, it’s much more explicit. Mizi and luka have hair sticking to their faces, and mizi outright says “it’s so hot” and this feels subtle but out of place enough where i think it’s intentional
Are they infected with the zombie virus or something??
