WHAT THE ACTUAL FU-

I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like “this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol” when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every “classical” looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad

In case you’re curious here’s what I mean.

Renaissance(distinct lines, stability and the individual man):

Baroque (bold, chaotic, dramatic):

Romantic(romanticize the simple hard working life):

Do you see the difference?

op is a vampire who painted works in all of these times

This is the oldest piece of music known to humankind. It’s engraved in cuneiform on a tablet from 1400 BC. And it was a hymn to their goddess Nikkal.

I wasn’t actually expecting something serious.

myboyfriendpetebuttigieg

That was, um, actually unexpected.

What is this grand old instrument? It is almost ethereal to my ears!

thewholeguacamole

I wish more ancient music was written down. It’d be interesting to study it!

Only 15th century BC kids will remember this bop

It would’ve likely originally been played on a sammûm, a bit like a lyre, in accompaniment of a singer.

Whilst its the oldest piece of music, it’s not complete (I believe the oldest complete song is the Seikilos Epitaph), so it’s transcription is controversial; there are a few differing decipherments.

The fact that this recording exists is nothing short of miraculous when you consider all of the background work that you have to do before you put a lyrist in front of a staff-notation transcription. This article will tell you about it in exhaustive detail: https://musicircle.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Babylonian-Notatin-and-the-Hurrian-Melodic-Texts_Music-and-Letters-1994-WEST-161-79.pdf

In short, here are some of the things a musicologist would have to do in order to get to the point where you can start looking for someone who plays an ancient Mesopotamian lyre (yes, the sammûm is a type of lyre):

1. Find the tablets. 2. Know enough cuneiform to identify the language, the culture, the time period, and the fact that this is music notation, which was vanishingly rare in a culture where people wrote with a stylus on wet clay. 3. Know what instruments people played and how they were used. 4. Figure out how many strings this instrument had and how they were tuned. This is harder than it looks because, while instruments can sometimes survive millennia, strings tend not to survive, and as any string player knows, tuning often doesn’t survive a single performance. 5. Figure out the tuning system – our Western even-tempered scale is a recent invention. J.S. Bach composed the Well-Tempered Clavier to show off even-tempered tuning in 1722. The octave is a creation of physics; dividing the octave into pleasing individual notes that can be put together to make music is a creation of culture, and there’s no reason to assume that ancient Mesopotamians used modern Western scales. 6. Learn the corpus of music theory that supports the structure of this piece of music. If you know the theory, you can figure out what the music is doing; if you don’t know the theory, you have a random string of notes, not music. 7. Because this was only a semi-written culture, music was heavily improvisatory. You have to know that what’s written down is more of an outline or a suggestion. The real art is in filling in the rest of the pattern. A lot of traditional non-Western music works like this (and up until fairly recently, quite a bit of Western classical music also incorporated this aspect; even today, the art of playing a cadenza is a Thing), so if you’re not an ethnomusicologist, you’ll want to bring one in, preferably one who works with contemporary West Asian folk and/or classical forms. 8. Ahhh! At last! You’ve gotten to the point where you think you can figure out what this piece is supposed to sound like. Now you have to transcribe it all into Western staff notation (which isn’t designed to handle music like this). 9. Unless you are also an expert on building and playing ancient Mesopotamian lyres, you must now go and find someone who is. Fortunately, there are one or two of these people around. Give that person your music, and book the recording studio! 10. The next time anyone asks you why studying music is important, now you know.

Finally finished! I had these sitting in my cr folder for a few months and I finally got them done. This is just a fun project where I chose outfits for the mighty nein based on stuff in my pinterest fashion board.

Edit: I’m seeing people point out that the caleb’s wearing a warrior cat shirt. Yall, I completely forgot that was the shadow clan symbol. The shirt that I based his outfit on just had a black square on it that I gave cat ears.

Hell yes to non-standard, alternative body shape designs!! I love seeing different interpretations of great characters!!!

"But where's that light coming from" BITCH IT'S FANTASY WHO CARES

mornington-the-crescent

thedreadvampy

but also I don't give a fuck if it's fantasy or Gritty Reality. light your fuckin scenes properly because film is a visual medium and you're meant to be telling me a story through visual information. I promise you I will not be as irritated by a slightly non-diagetic light source as by being Literally Squinting To Partially Make Out Some Of What's Happening On Screen

boigameista

i dont think i posted these but here i made a little frog pattern to make tiny frog toys with my grandma

this is the first lil guy I made while still learning how i should sew it

boigameista

AAA ok so a lot of people have been asking for the pattern to this, tho I’ve been using just these two little papers to do the cut outs lol

i tried my best to translate it into digital so that people get a bit more accurate look at them. Tho bear with me I’ve never done an actual pattern design sheet before!

so basically my hope is that anyone could print these out to any size of their choosing and get the same result, but ive never tried anything larger than approx. 3 inches with these sooo idk if you try it tag me!

the goal is to sew the backs together to the lines at the tip of the head to the middle of the butt. then leaving a space along the belly piece near the butt end and sewing from one side of the butt including all the legs and the “mouth” to the other side with its legs to get back to the butt. if that makes sense

i usually pause sewing up the body once the head is fully sewn together,, usually after ive sewn both arms and ill yank it inside out where ill start sewing on the little poofball eyes so i know theyre in a good place, then resuming the body, and then pulling the whole thing inside out and pushing out the tips of the limbs with a skinny blunt object like a dull pencil until i can see the stitches. if you attempt this piece definitely make sure you stitch up the arm and leg crevices very well!!!!

then just stuff the lad and sew up his back end and its done :)

one suggestion for fabric is always try to use a stretchy soft fleecy fabric with these because its much easier if mistakes are made during sewing and to hold the ROUND shape better

Overall its a very good use of scraps if you’ve accumulated a lot and don’t know what to do with them 👍👍
