#lower lows but really high highs
Text
god bless birdy's patience tbh if I started a music career at 15 and my (both pretty mid) debut + second album blew up and the (slightly less mid but still mid) 3rd album did pretty good too then I hiatus for ~4.5 years coming back with an album that was so, so much better and more artistically developed than any of that and it didn't have anywhere near the same impact I'd have a joker moment
#my rambles#yh was a vast refinement of everything that came before#and portraits can be really rough in places but it's also her coming into her own stylistically#lower lows but really high highs#....so of course her most popular/famous songs are still the ones from her old albums#I'd have a joker moment honestly#birdy#tbc I call her stuff mid affectionately#I complain a lot about her music probably a bit too much tbh but I do love it lol#mostly the post-piano sketches stuff but yk#there's stuff in beautiful lies I really like (lifted; shadow; winter etc) and her live versions of#fire within songs can be pretty great too#but the stuff I love is in the post hiatus era#discord transplant

The best! The very best of skeletons! (Patreon)
#Doodles#UT#Handplates#Papyrus#Sans#A mix of several things! Some redraws and digital reconstruction and high editing/low cleaning >:3c#This paper Actually makes that possible thank goodness#It's not the best paper but it is better in that way for sure#Quicker is all I can ask for really#Anyhow! From the top!#In looking at the old doodle with a blushy Papyrus it looks like the only thing I ''redrew'' about it was the blush itself lol#And being a bit smiley#He's very cute when he's so distracted in battle haha leave him be he's very busy!#The second one was so fun! I was very stylistic with his lower jaw in the original :D The way he looks like an interlocked puzzle piece haha#I trust him he's definitely got this handled#Colour doodles! Red and blue boys! Tall and short long and stout <3 Love 'em#My two favourite colour tools my blood pen and my blue pencil ♪ I could've gone in with my various yellows but pfsh#A nice clean two-colour is very nice :) Or in Sans' case just blue haha#I was using the same blood pen in the original too! Well the same casing anyhow the ink has since been replaced hehe#Snuggling sleeping brothers <3 Another one that was digitally reconstructed! Hopefully it's not super obvious#Even back them I was doodling them sleeping on each other haha - Handplates was an influencing factor ♪#And now into the definitely-Handplates! I love how even in sleep Papyrus snores in capital letters and Sans in lowercase hehe#It's so cute! Sans will fall asleep at the drop of a hat but Papyrus is so much more obvious with his sleep!#Maybe it's like concentrated vs. evenly spread out haha#Babies!! Love them ;; That one was originally meant to be a comic panel but I got their posing wrong lol I misremembered#But they turned out so cute! Look at them!#I especially like Sans' super-glowing eye in the shade of Papyrus <3 Sweet lads#And a couple sleepy boys to practice skeletal profiles :) Nose? Teeth? They have a subtle silhouette but there are varying shapes!#I defaulted to a more chibi look on Sans tho haha his fused jaw and big eyes just give that kind of appearance ♪

all I need 2 know about my vocal range is I can sing the Higher part of footfalls at its intended octave and one octave lower and that’s about the whole range of notes I can do
#higher is almost too high and when it’s an octave lower it’s almost too low. there u go perfect reference#kipspeak#I also just really enjoy that part of the endwalker trailer. it goes into shadowbringers it’s cool

my ranking of Piano Man by Billy Joel, just how i feel right now
1) Piano Man: yeah i mean i adore this song, it's so great, and it's one of the Billy Joel songs i've known the longest
2) Captain Jack: man i freaking love this song, it's so cool, and like the music part leading up to the chorus, holy shit, and the chorus is so amazing too
3) Somewhere Along the Line: this one is just a bop, i have a lot of fun with it
4) The Ballad of Billy the Kid: i really like this song, the instrumental parts are so great and yeah i dunno i just really really like it
5) Worse Comes to Worst: really not too sure about this placement, honestly this and the next two could've gone either way but this felt the most right, yeah this one's really fun
6) Stop in Nevada: again, not too sure on the placement, but it's also really fun
7) Ain't No Crime: ditto, i just have to dock points cus the one line that's like "but you won't want him every day" and that doesn't rhyme but if he said night it would've rhymed! lol does anyone else agree with this
8) If I Only Had the Words (To Tell You): i really like some parts of this but personally it just doesn't stick out in my mind too much
9) Travelin' Prayer: same, has some really nice parts but doesn't stick out too much
10) You're My Home: very sweet but again, just doesn't stick out in my mind very much
#billy joel#piano man#this is an interesting album cus i think as an album it's really great and all works really well together so i might want to put it high#but then compared to most albums the lows are kinda lower#and yknow i adore piano man and captain jack and i really love somewhere along the line#but there's other albums with even more standouts plus higher lows yknow?#so it's tricky lol#like ranking the albums is just impossible for me lmao#but a real standout for this album is like whenever there's an instrumental part to the song it totally freaking slaps#like not like that's weird for billy joel songs lol but i think it just really stands out here for me#but again please talk about your own opinions!!! i am very curious always

halo CE legendary on the original xbox got hands. I didn't realize 2001 was cool with frame drops like that on the very first level
#we really take high FPS for granted these days#the game looked a lot ''prettier'' at lower resolution though#the fuzzy edges match the low res textures

I've been thinking so hard about TLEs and strange weather phenomenon and combining it with my ninjago brainrot I'm thinking so hard about Jay's lightning and everything he could potentially do with it
#So like. Red lightning right#Red sprites as they're also called#They're a discharge caused by powerful bolts in thunderstorms that shoot SUPER high up in the atmosphere and are usually HUGE#And I personally believe that Jay works with a really low voltage on purpose cause if he used a regular lightning bolts voltage like-#-half the people he fights would be dead fjdjdjsj#But just imagine him going batshit and releasing a legit superbolt#Or like a huge anvil lightning strike#And seeing above him this huge mass of red lightning that almost looks like tendrils#And when it's gone a green flash stays behind#Or like an ELVE shot#IMAGINE HIM SOMEHOW MAKING A BLUE JET DUDE OUGH#Supercharges the atmosphere and makes st. Elmo's fire#I MEAN HELL EVEN AURORAS ARE ELECTRIC CAN YOU IMAGINE IF JAY CAN PRODUCE AURORAS#Souped up on power can he like sense the electricity inside people can you imagine if he can#Wacky#Guys I have so many thoughts fjskskfkkd#Jay walker your elemental power has so much potential please let yourself be epic with it#To me he uses a lot of focus and control to intentionally lower the power of his lightning strikes like yeah hes freaking out constantly but#There's control there. There's focus. Even if it's not the situation his power he can control and he has to or else people could get hurt#Number one believer in jay being an actually really powerful ninja but he intentionally doesn't use the full extent of his power

✧ I won’t really write descriptions for these, but see original post tags for explanation/commentary on the song snippet ✧
#This was literally just off the top of my head improvising words that rhyme (as is obvious from me rhyming the word#'on' with the word.... 'on' (what's going ON my name is ON' etc. lol) but after actually thinking about it this kind of seems a little#sinister?? why is his name on the news? why is he fleeing town? makes me think of of some guy who's killed#someone or is finally getting caught for his crimes so one last stop before he flees town is he returns home to his husband (who he#calls Hummingbird sometimes I guess) and is like 'erm... tee hee.. I can't tell you why but I shall leave. farewell' etc.#also 'I guess I could show you' having a bad implication like.. yeah I COULD show you the dead bodies and evidence of my crimes#but I will spare you from that and simply let you live in ignorance (at least until you see the news at 10.. but I will be long gone by#then.. eating green beans somewhere lol).. ANYWAY.. 100% unintentional but you could actually almost read some sort of meaning#out of this one. until the green beans part ghhbjb.. I try so hard for everything to just be meaningless gibberish#that has no connection but I suppose sometimes a connection can be made. alas.. a perhaps accidentally Dark seeming song snippet#OR alternate theory. uhh... actually his name is on the news for a good reason. he donated all his money to charity and now#he's fleeing town just because he's embarassed to be publicly recognized.. a shy philanthropist OR an evasive murderer#BOTH versions of him like green beans. which is the truth? up to listener interpretation lol.. Also I#still find it immensely funny for some reason to do this lower sounding style of singing. which not that I really care about like having a#Broad Range or something since I don't think it'd even be possible to have one in my position (as someone#with zero musical/vocial training/etc.) BUT because part of what I find fun is like.. experimenting with all different sorts of sounds#and also doing choir type stuff. So then I do want to be able to sound like multiple people.. if that makes sense? I want to have a really#high voice and the a really low voice and have them sing together and it sounds like a duet or something when it's really just one person.#etc. Thus have a passing interest in learning to adopt different singing styles if I can. because then that's funny and I can do a wider#variety of things like it's all different characters or something as if all the song snippets are done by different people or etc.#(maybe just part of the nature of it being experimental).#And the low voice is always the goofiest sounding to me and very 'fake' seeming I guess#like blatantly is just someone putting on an affect or whatever but still in a kind of fun jokey way lol#beepo tag

For once the fact that I, aged 11 through 15, spent most of my free time locking myself in the bathroom to mouth along to songs while practising expressions in the mirror was actually useful
#a.k.a my singing teacher couldn’t believe I’ve never done theatre outside of primary school plays#(I’ve always wanted to but never had the chance)#I’m learning охота на лисицу by green apelsin and I just couldn’t get the high notes cause my voice is naturally low#even with the song being lowered in pitch#the performer singing style just wasn’t working#so my teacher was like ‘okay. how about you try putting on a fox persona maybe that’ll help. like the fox from buratino?’#so I combined a few characters with a similar vibe in my head and basically did what I used to do in the bathroom#except actually sang instead of mouth the words#AND IT HELPED. IT WORKED#AND APPARENTLY I’M GOOD ENOUGH AT IT THAT IT SEEMS I DID THEATRE BEFORE#for future reference:#I combined the fox from buratino. alisa from tiny bunny. ming-hua and. of course. suiren#particularly suiren when she’s teasing kuvira#I’m freakishly good at impressions of the last two#cause most of my bathroom shenanigans involved the rl and my ocs in some way most of the time#I can actually do The Smirk btw. just a fun fact#doing it really helped with the singing#okay I need to stop rambling#it’s half past 7 pm and I haven’t eaten at all today#I need to get on that

Okay but like seriously Nintendo re the all shrines reward PLEASE at least rig it correctly in the next update I've tried it out and it's uncanny valley. It's got less animation than link's expression in a botw cutscene, and that's saying SOMETHING.
#Am I working it into my totk lore? Yes. Am I going to not touch the bizarre issues that really should have been fixed? Also yes.#Objectively it's super cool it's just.... A lower standard than I've come to expect from Nintendo and ESPECIALLY botk which sours it a bit#It's just weirdly low quality?? Idk?? I mean I guess it's normal quality totk is just insanely high level idk#But man is the concept awesome!!#loz#legend of zelda#tears of the kingdom#totk#totk spoilers#Totk all shrines#Heeheehoohoo

i really really hope dave malloy’s moby dick musical gets revised and restaged at some point because i think it has some of dave’s best songwriting yet. but also some of the script is. really really bad
#sasha speaks#and other parts are good!! the ahab and starbuck stuff i think is still really really good#genuinely songs like the pacific and squeeze of the hand and i think stubb kills a whale are some of my favorite malloy songs#but. eugh. as high as the high points are i think the low points are also WAY lower than in his other works#like. fedallah is a MESS#it's really really bad...#i really want mdamr to be Good it just needs a lot of work to get there bc right now it's all over the place#but i think it has real potential. it just needs to be reigned in and revised#but pleeeaaase i hope it gets the work it needs and i hope it gets produced again#i would like to see it

I know I’ve mentioned this before but it’s never gotten it’s own post so, how social standing is determined among Osmosians.
~~
There are three factors at play- Personal Reputation (are you trustworthy, are you true, do you behave as an Ossy ought?), Profession/Work (what do you bring to your community?), Clan Reputation (what sort’ve people make up your family?). A simple way to explain it would be to put each factor as a scale from 0-100, with one’s social standing being represented by the average between them.
We’ll do two examples, one from each end of the social ladder.
Devin (pre-death)
Personal Reputation- Pretty high, he was community-and-family-oriented, very trustworthy, a good man, though he was only so-so as far as actually getting shit done pre-death, got a bit involved with the wrong crowd (*cough*Eva*cough*), and wasn’t considered entirely sensible- 82
Profession/Work- Middling, being a Plumber isn’t considered a good profession for various reasons, but he also acted as the nearest thing his tiny pack had to one of the Holyfolk, which bumps shit up some- 37
Clan Reputation- Incredibly high, he’s a member of the Imperial Clan, which is pretty much required to have a damn good reputation otherwise they’d get deposed, there’s whole systems in place for it- 94
‘Social Standing’ Rating- 71
Mike
Personal Reputation- Well, he’s not trustworthy, he’s not well behaved, he’s certainly bright and capable enough, and if you can get him working with you he does fine, but he hunts and keeps people via manipulation and what seems to be either magic or addictive venom, but he doesn’t have a record for murder and doesn’t seem to hunt children, so it could be worse- 21
Profession/Work- What does the boy even bring to his community as of canon, nothing, all Michaels do anymore is eat people, run cults, and lie- 0
Clan Reputation- He’s actually from a rather well regarded clan, so he’s at least got that going for him, they’re mostly farmers which isn’t one of the most well viewed professions amongst a carnivorous species, but Mike himself is one of the worst marks on their reputation- 79
‘Social Standing’ Rating- 33
As you can see, Devin was considered a little lower on the social ladder than you would expect with his reputation and his family because being a Plumber drags him down. Meanwhile, despite having a crap reputation and bringing literally nothing positive to the people around him, Mike’s social standing isn’t as bad as you would think due solely to the good reputation of his family as a whole.
Though I should state that Mike’s rating there isn’t actually accurate. I just did it that way for the sake of showing you how it works. As of the show he, along with the rest of what I term the Plumber Spawn, is not yet an adult by Osmosian reckoning, and the full set-up is only for adults. Individuals under 20 don’t yet have a profession, or any particular work they do, and so both lack a title (excepting royal or holy ones, but those are their own thing and don’t normally effect standing) and have their standing determined only by their and their clan’s reputations. As you can guess this means they tend to be of a higher social standing than adults on average, though they’re normally considered on their own little chart of sorts. Mike’s actual ‘score’ prior to turning 20 would be about 50, so, low for somebody underage who isn’t from an absolute shithole clan, but middling overall due to his youth and the clan’s good standing.
Each of these is subjective to a point as well, especially the Profession/Work factor. That one can change depending on where you are and how good you are at what you do. Someone who grows food crops is going to be better held in a region where you can grow enough to properly supplement the pack’s diet and don’t have a wide variety of forage options than they would be somewhere with plentiful forage or where crops make up a seriously low percentage of the diet. And both cases so far of a deposed Emperor have been preceded by such failures in their work that it drove that ‘score’ down past forgivable levels (plus a shit personal reputation in the first one’s case).
As far as reputation goes, as you would expect one’s reputation is directly correlated with how willing people are to work with them as individuals, or with a clan. Given two options, most are going to go for the one with the better reputation, and if your reputation is bad enough even if you’re the only option in town people may just go without or travel for their needs. People may even choose to avoid bartering with you when you come to them. Between this and the effect on overall social standing, maintaining a good reputation is considered of key importance among Osmosians. This is a large part of why Osmosian criminals are normally placed under house arrest with their clan, not only do they have a vested interest in restoring their clanmate’s reputation since it directly ties to their own, but to fake it would be another blow to their reputation, and this one to the clan directly.
If your cousin is arrested for hunting people, and you say ‘yeah we’ve worked that shit out, he’s all good’, let him out in public, and he starts hunting people again? Your clan’s reputation, and with it the standing of every member, tanks.
‘But what does social standing determine, Achi?’ I hear you ask.
As with all cultures, it’s mostly commonly in how you’re treated. People with a higher social standing’s words are taken more seriously than those of someone with a lower standing. If you’re looking to speak to someone important, then you’ll get a meeting ahead of someone with lower standing than yourself and vis versa. The normal things.
Where it most strongly comes into play, however, is in emergencies- from natural disaster to famine to epidemic. In these circumstances, the order in which aid is given is often determined by social standing. For this purpose communities are typically divided into groups by age and granted assistance group by group.
These groups, in order of assistance, are- Children Outside the Creche, Crechebound Children, Teenagers, and Adults. For the children, they all get assistance in equal order, for teens and adults individuals with a higher social standing receive aid first (though the first ones often are the ones making sure they go with less for the sake of the others in their group, because there’s normally a reason you end up that well regarded). So, you see, a whole new reason to want to maintain social standing.
And, that’s about what I’ve got, so... to finish up we’re going to do Underage and Adult numbers for Kevin and Alan, because I love them. Only numbers this time though, rather than going in-depth in to the ‘why’s like before.
Kevin
Underage
Personal Reputation- 59
Clan Reputation- 94
‘Social Standing’ Rating- 76
Adult
Personal Reputation- 59
Profession/Work- 78
Clan Reputation- 94
‘Social Standing’ Rating- 77
Alan
Underage
Personal Reputation- 83
Clan Reputation- 94
‘Social Standing’ Rating- 88
Adult
Personal Reputation- 83
Profession/Work- 64
Clan Reputation- 94
‘Social Standing’ Rating- 80
And that, little loves, is where I shall leave you off...
#osmosians#the hero stuff really helps kev's reputation otherwise it'd be in the low-30s to high-40s#the lowest his score at the very start of af would've been is 65#meanwhile his lowest score overall was probably about 52-53#yes still above mike that good family line really helps him out#that and the fact you can get lower on the pecking order than 'multiple murderer and violent stalker'#for the sake of this am classing kevin as a top notch engineer and alan as a capable rancher- shit's variable there

Recently thinking about whether I am one of the funny Autistics or not
#I took the RAADS-R the other day thinking I was gonna have a score within the non-autistic range (65 or lower out of 240)#and then i got hit with A FUCKING 186/240 and i haven't known peace since#like every once in a while since i was a teen i'd be like 'but what if i'm autistic... nah it can't be because of X or Y'#but perhaps.... it is......#after that i did Leif Ekblad's Aspie Quiz thinking 'well this one doesn't just test for autism but for other neurodivergent stuff'#'so maybe i'll only rank high on specific categories due to being adhd and then low due to being allistic'#and i got high scores on ALL neurodivergent categories and low scores on ALL neurotypical categories#besties perhaps i am Autistic#but also like#since i'd never really considered the possibility for real i'm not sure how to move forward with this Lol Lmao

*flashes in my mind of every minorly bad thing I have ever said because I didn’t know better*
Me:
#yes I made some comments that in hindsight I regret#including some slightly transphobic questions because I really honestly didn't get it#also about a fandom that one time that I didn't know was shit I just enjoyed the original content#this was all years ago#i have learned from it#there is no reason for me to feel like this#and yet#aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa#but hey at least I'll get to pet cats again on wednesday#also maybe get a proper men's shirt#i want it#also I should kinda look for lower rise pants because mine are really high rise and emphasise my hip which makes me look really feminine#and that annoys me#but unfortunately high rise pants are also way more comfy so I don't know if I'll actually get a low one
