was explaining missing episode reconstructions to someone the other day and i basically said "there's some episodes that are missing because the bbc threw out the tapes so only the audio and some still photos exist and if you want to watch that episode you have to watch a reconstruction which is basically a glorified powerpoint presentation with the original audio underneath basically trying to replicate what the episode probably looked like" and they said "wow that's really cool that people reconstructed them like that so you can still experience the story even without the original video" and you know what? they were completely right, that is so fucking cool. i think we take reconstructions for granted in this fandom and they are actually so awesome and it's such an interesting part of our community. like obviously it would be nice if we still had all the original episodes and didn't need reconstructions but still, it's a really unique and cool thing we have as doctor who fans

Finding out that Pearl's parents had their irl home moved by having it chopped in half and moved on two trucks actually makes sense. This is a genetic problem. She's seen it happen in real life and now she knows it's possible. Father and Mother Moon created a monster.

It really says something about Rassilon that he sees the Resistance as a greater threat to him than the Daleks. The Daleks almost don't matter because he plans to just nope out of corporeal existence, so who cares if they control the universe? But the Resistance refuse to acknowledge his authority. They have people loyal to them on Gallifrey. They do not believe his propaganda and are actively warning the other races about him. And he can't control them.

How much of Gallifrey's resources went into destroying the Resistence instead of the Daleks because of his own ego?

Proceeds are donated to the UNRWA, which is one of the major funding agencies providing aid to Palestine. Recently, the US and other major countries have escalated genocidal efforts by cutting funding from the UNRWA, as AlJazzera reports : Which countries have cut funding to the UNRWA and why?

This is a direct action you can take to say fuck you to the government directed genocidal efforts, bookmark the tab, add a calendar notification daily, do what you want. Or if your prefer: Donate Directly to UNRWA

“the fifth doctor is so boring” the fifth doctor is an old man who woke up as a young man. a man who remembers what it’s like to be old and aspires to reach that level of maturity again to be taken seriously in his new body, but who can’t because he has an almost pubescent temperament. he tries and fails to be the doctor because he is simply ill-equipped on a mechanical basis and his entire character arc is built on the tragedy of losing a child who was in his care. this permeates his development to the point that he sacrifices himself for the life of one girl he barely knew.

THE FIFTH DOCTOR IS NOT BORING! he is a tragic hero.

also sometimes he shoots guns and says funny things. goaaaaat

mmmmmhmmmmmmm the parallel of the the guard bursting in proclaiming the name of Rassilon while the shop owner calls out to the Other

I love the cultural expletives in Propaganda. "Omega's teeth" and "What in the Other's name do you think you're doing?"

finished "Best Served Cold" on wednesday and I want to say, damn, it was an excellent book, I think it's really interesting and almost unusual how over the course of the book, the energy with which Monza kills the 7 men on her list almost..decreases, instead of amping up. The context in which she kills them amps up from a simple grabbing a guy off the street situation to a siege, but the kills themselves go like this: 1. beats Orso's bodygoard to death with a hammer, 2. has Orso's guy in the bank poisoned but Morveer contaminates the whole building because he's Morveer, 3. Stabs Orso's eldest son in the throat, then shoves him out a window, 4. while fighting Ganmark, a statue falls on him, 5. she gets second thoughts about killing Faithful Carpi, but his cloak gets caught in the waterwheel and he drowns, 6. wants to spare Foscar, but Shivers kills him and in the end, 7. runs Orso through calmly.

This all happens in parallell with flashbacks of Monza's past, from her time as captain general of the Thousand Swords, and her childhood and youth: what events shaped her into who she is now. Through these moments we gradually find out that Monza has had to project a more violent version of herself as a public image of sorts, and her discussion with Cosca before the end gives us the line "child of a blood time", which I think perefctly sums up her life. Years of Blood and everything, after all..

people NEED to stop gatekeeping making music like ohhhh i don’t have an instrument ohhhhh i don’t know music theory ohhhhh i’m not gonna pay for some program. SHUT UP. take my hand.

you need NONE of that shit!!!!! there’s a website called beepbox.co. literally all you have to do is press things until it sounds a modicum of nice. it’s easy it’s free and it works on anything which has a browser because it’s a website.

if even ONE person starts making music bc of this post it will be worth it.

making bad music is just as important and okay as it is to write badly or draw badly or sing badly. you AREN’T BEHOLDEN TO MAKE GOOD MUSIC. making music is not utilitarian HAVE FUN. HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!

homoeroticjunoincident

love how people will encourage people to just start making shit and see what happens when it comes to drawing and writing but when it comes to beginner musicians (music makers if you wish to be less formal) it’s just COMPLETE RADIO SILENCE. it feels like no one even knows you MAKE music it just sprouts up from the ground one day and some guy picks it up. am i alone in this dark cave

HELL YEAH!!!

Alternatively if you wanna get into music producing in a more “proper” way, you still don’t need any money.

Ableton has excellent free websites to learn the basics:

Learning Music

Learning Synths

You can learn basically everything you need on YouTube. I recommend:

Mercurial Tones Academy

Dan Worrall

Bthelick

A lot of your favorite artists, mainly in electronic music, likely have done track breakdowns, you can watch those to learn how they do things.

DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) ultimately all do the same things, and Cakewalk is a great FREE fully fledged one. Sure it has some issues, and doesn’t have many plugins included, but it works just fine. All the music I released so far was made there, before I made the jump to Ableton.

As for VST plugins:

Vital is an excellent free synth

Native Instruments Komplete Start is a good free collection of plugins

TDR Nova is a great free EQ

There’s a lot of others and I don’t wanna name everything I’m aware of here, but feel free to DM me for more (Or if you have any other questions and stuff too).

And as for samples, you can get a bunch of free ones at:

Cymatics

Ghosthack

Having good headphones is nice and what I’d recommend you invest in first once it comes to it, but even your current ones will probably be fine, mainly if you slap AutoEQ onto them to flatten the frequency response. And ultimately, music isn’t all about the mixing, the most important part is conveying an emotion.

I know this goes against the spirit of the original post a little, but I want people to know that getting into music production also no longer costs thousands, you can just do it at home on your computer without no money.

unhinged-popsocket

Yeah, there is still quite the learning curve, I get that, though it’s also why it’s managed to hold me as a hobby for so long.

I do however have something of the exact opposite variety too, the most simple way to make music I know of, and a wonderful little semi-social experience, along the lines of the game Journey:
