36 students and families were awarded a prize in the VII Adeje Cacharro competition
The seventh edition of the Adeje Cacharro competition, in which school children and their families create a doll/image/gadget using recycled materials, concluded last night with the prize giving event in the Adeje cultural centre in the presence of the councillor Adolfo Alonso Ferrera and the town’s rubbish collection company UTE Ascan Torrabonaf who collaborate in the event.

💿 Pompeii by Bastille or Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths (idk if you've heard of the second one but you seem like the type to like it)
I think you misread the prompt because it says to send 💿 + a character /lh/nm
But no worries I’ve concocted an answer because I have actually have thought a little bit about a Pompeii animatic lmao
I’ve always gotten a sort of apocalyptic vibe from the song (which makes sense given what happens to the song’s name sake).
So in my mind, it’s one of the Four Horseman from my uncreatively named Demons/Angels universe. I always think of the four of them sitting somewhere watching the last days of the Apocalypse during the bridge of the song.
Oh, where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?

Theme Breakdown for the Demons/Angels Universe (Part 1 of ???)
Someone suggested I do this, here’s a break down of how I chose all the themes for the Sins + Virtues. The reasons will range from “something extremely deep” to “haha instrument go brrrr.” I’ll do more characters from this universe in the future.
I compile everyone’s themes for this universe in this playlist!
Invidia: String Quartet No. 3, BB 93: Seconde parte: Allegro – Béla Bartók
Starting off strong with a not that deep reason, the opening trill from the second violin has always reminded me of a snake. Invidia’s design draws inspiration snakes given that she’s canonically the Serpent of Eden.
This is a very musically technical piece, I like how it all comes together to sound very layered and barbaric. I think that fits Invidia, she’s got a lot of pent up emotion underneath her cold exterior.
Ira: Symphony No. 10 in E Minor, Op. 93: II. Allegro – Dmitri Shostakovich
Supposedly this is meant to be a musical portrait/representation of Joseph Stalin.
Heavy brass evokes imagery of marching armies. Reminds me of John Williams’ work for the original Star Wars trilogy.
Acedia: Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta, Sz. 106, BB 114: I. Andante tranquillo – Béla Bartók
This was a bit of a fine line I had to walk, I wanted something peaceful but still sinister.
I find that Bartók walks that line perfectly in this movement, it’s simultaneously tranquil but there’s a darker tone to it.
Superbia: Ruslan and Ludmilla: Overture – Mikhail Glinka
Overtures are usually the openings to operas, ballets, etc. They’re typically very flourishing and bombastic. I find that this specific overture is the right amount of bombastic I wanted for Superbia’s theme
Luxuria: Samson et Dalila, Op. 47, R. 288: Bacchanale – Camille Saint-Saëns
In music, bacchanales are typically meant to depict drunken revels/orgies.
The opera is based off of the story of Samson and Delilah from the Old Testament. In many interpretations of the tale, Delilah is meant to be a sinful, sexual woman.
Gula: Symphony No. 1 in D Major "Titan": II. Kräftig Bewegt, Doch Nicht Zu Schnell - Trio: Recht Gemächlich - Tempo Primo – Gustav Mahler
I found the extremely long title of this movement really funny lmao
There’s a playful, joviality to this piece. I think that fits given Gula’s the more optimistic one of the Sins.
Avaritia: The Marriage of the Figaro Overture – W.A. Mozart
Historically, operas have been associated with the upper class and wealth. Many operas were commissioned by nobility
Mozart is the best of the best, it’s only fitting that Ava’s theme would be the best of the best as well
Camael: Variations on an Original Theme, Op. 36 “Enigma”: VIII. W.N. (Allegretto) – Edward Elgar
All of the movements of Elgar’s Enigma Variations are inspired by various friends and loved ones of the composer.
More graceful and lyrical melody in contrast to Invidia’s barbaric and savage theme.
Zadkiel: Symphony No. 9 in E Minor: III. Scherzo: Molto Vivace – Antonín Dvořák
You’ll notice that Michael and Zadkiel’s themes are similar. Both are from the same composer (Antonín Dvořák), both are the third movement of a symphony, and both are scherzos.
It ties into Zadkiel being Michael’s successor. Not just literally, but his musical theme (symphony 9) being a successor to Michael’s theme (symphony 7).
Gabriel: Piano Quintet in C Minor: II. Scherzo (Allegro non troppo) – Alexander Borodin
Scherzos are usually short, fast paced and playful pieces.
Raphael: Petite Suite (orchestrated by Henri Büsser): IV. Ballet – Claude Debussy
Very happy and playful piece, easily fits her personality
Uriel: String Sextet in D minor "Souvenir de Florence", Op. 70: II. Adagio cantabile e con moto – P.I. Tchaikovsky
Very innocent and romantic vibes, contrasts with Luxuria’s boisterous bacchanale
There’s a viola solo in this piece. And I feel like there’s a viola joke to be made here with Uriel being the most uptight, pretentious asshole, but I’m blanking out on one >:(
Jophiel: Double Concerto in A Minor: III. Vivace non troppo – Johannes Brahms
A big motif I keep with Jophiel is balance, their theme is no different.
The piece starts in a minor key and ends in a major key. The concerto is meant for a solo violin (the upper register of stringed instruments) and a solo cello (the lower register of string instruments), along with the orchestra.
Michael: Symphony No. 7 in D Minor: III. Scherzo: Vivace – Antonín Dvořák
I already talked about how Michael and Zadkiel’s themes mirror each other, so I won’t copy and paste it all here lmao
I became obsessed with this particular piece during the early days of the COVID pandemic. I’ve always associated this piece with enduring things despite the hard times.

Look, I get why there’s rampant incest in Greek mythology. They are gods, they’re above humans. They aren’t bound by human morals. And I am totally fine with that.
That being said.
For the sake of my mythology/sci-fi universe, I WISH THIS FAMILY TREE WASN’T SO TANGLED IT MAKES IT HARDER FOR ME TO MAKE FAMILY TREES FOR THESE CHARACTERS.
I wrote out the gross shit and I still struggled making family trees.

Considering Cassiel's methodical thinking and adeptness as a musician, what do you think would be her favorite spot in Heaven to find inspiration for her compositions, and what kind of atmosphere does she prefer for her creative process?
Nature would definitely be a point of inspiration, as well as Heaven’s many cathedrals!
When it comes to the actual composition process, she needs complete silence and prefers the privacy of her home.

Has Empusa ever had to fake a smile? If not what kind of situation might call for it for her?
When other Demons call in for spells to murder someone.
Such a request is not within her power or her company’s policy, the most she can do is maybe find a spell to cause a temporary inconvenience like lice. Or someone’s hair getting turned neon blue.
