Oh shit, what’s this? NOT ponies? I promise I’ll get back to ponies, but I found this older art of Death from Discworld and I still love it a lot. [dreamy sigh] ah, I miss doing watercolors and colored pencils…

#rip to reading stuff too #my mind swims too much for me to read very often #there’s little pockets of time where I can read books #but it’s usually short and sweet… I’ll read 3 books and then for a year it’s nothing #Discworld #Terry Pratchett #death discworld #my art

Im gonna need your like, whole musical rec list, bc literally every song you have posted has not flopped once, give me your faves i need to eat them

OUGHHH YOUVE UNLOCKED THE BEAST ARGSHHFHJDF....

in the interest of making this both easily accessible but not stretching the dashboard, im embedding bandcamp links when i can, otherwise linking to youtube when unavailable

in no particular order, inclusion based mostly on what im still actively into LMAO but also just things you should give a go at least once:

list of artist recommendations

zeal and ardor: described as a mix of african-american spirituals and black metal. try devil is fine, you aint coming back, wake of a nation or church burns

bloodywood: indian folk metal, literally nobody is doing it like them. recently featured in monkey man (2024), try chakh le, yaad or dana dan

stromae: if youve never heard any of his songs WHAT ARE YOU DOING..... incredible lyricist, described as a blend of hip hop/electronic. papaoutai made the rounds on tumblr a while back, but you should also try santé and l'enfer

alamat: pinoy pop. a youtube commenter described them as sounding like 2nd gen kpop which probably also explains why i took a shine to them LMAO, notable for the amount of filipino culture on display and the diversity thereof (singing in different languages, themes). first heard them thru kasmala either here or on twitter lmao, try aswang or maharani

andy bull: alt-pop. a lot of poppy and upbeat songs with a melancholic undertone imo. an australian artist, try it's all connected or keep on running

cosmo sheldrake: electronic, wikipedia also lists him as folktronica and baroque pop. you may have heard the song come along on an apple ad - hes known for sampling sounds from nature. pliocene for example features sounds from endangered ecosystems.

if you like cosmo sheldrake, you might like hidden orchestra (electronica, ambient). also making use of field recordings, i really love the archipelago mixtape but its a hard sell at about an hour lmao. if you like the following song then i implore you to give it a go

son lux: experimental, you may have heard from them in the entire soundtrack for everything everywhere all at once (!!!!!). try dangerous, dream state (brighter night) or live another life.

ammar 808: electronic/world fusion, also behind bargou 08 (folk rock you should also listen to). i just cant get ain essouda out of my head, but i also love geeta duniki

miyavi: j-rock, used to be a visual kei artist. these days he might be known more for anime openings like flashback (kokkoku) or other side (id:invaded), or for work like snakes in arcane (or actually inspiring and voicing a character in it), but ive always been partial to his early work like sukkyanen myv or ashita, genki ni naare

songs/albums

'threads' album by now, now (indie rock).

'dream to make believe' or 'what to do when you are dead' by armor for sleep (rock, emo). here's the truth about heaven from the latter album

i already posted about it but denzel curry's 13lood 1n + 13lood out mixx (rap, trap) is extremely good

the guilty gear soundtracks and im so serious im not fucking joking. different kinds of rock and metal and all sorts of influences put in, a genuine labor of love. xrd and earlier games are mainly instrumental with some vocal tracks (try give me a break or big blast sonic), while strive pretty much always includes vocals (of course i need to rec rock parade, but also try requiem. its genuinely hard for me to pick and choose lmao)

not an album and not an artist

coke studio pakistan and coke studio bangla knocking it out of the fucking park, im particularly a fan of harkalay and kotha koiyo na. you could try the other coke studios too (tamil, india, etc)

triple j like a version is when the radio station triple j brings in artists and has them do a cover of a song (artists choice). i liked denzel curry's cover of bulls on parade and flume's shooting stars (video for this one is incredible, man had a vision you just have to stick it out), but you get a lot of interesting interpretations like the wombats' running up that hill, gordi's in the end or, infamously. the wiggles' elephant

ive DEFINITELY missed out some, but thats what my music tag is for LMAO i hope someone discovers something they like here!!!!

#ive tried to include a mix of songs that covers their range..#includes the ones i like but ALSO is easiest on newcomers #particularly with the metal bands LMAO #eg church burns isnt really my favorite on the album but i remember it being the song i started with #specifically because someone in the reviews said it would be the easiest to start with. and they were right #also miyavi HAD to be here ive been a fan since GRADE SCHOOL #if ive recommended an album and not the artist its probably because im not a huge fan of their other stuff LMAO either cos #theyve moved away from what ive recommended stylistically (armor for sleep or now now)#or i havent gotten to a lot of the other stuff/its not my thing (denzel curry. sorry)#i liked the song ricky but a lot of the discography just isnt what i listen to rip #honestly it was so hard to choose AHSDUSDF i tried to choose artists that i really think others should listen to #but yeah obviously some are just there because. /i/ like them lol #wait not me reading the ask properly again and seeing that the focus was MY faves ASHDSDFSDHFBSDf #i got too excited at the prospect of recommending music #sonochinosodomy #ask #Bandcamp #music #obviously this couldnt be Everything... but ive done my best #to pare it down.............#long post

I'm in love with HIUH!! Your brain is amazing for coming up with this!

When you edit your drafts, do you keep what you cut out? Because I would happily read 100k+ words of whatever you come up with :)

hello!!

sometimes i do keep things that i cut out because I know I'll need them for future chapters or future projects, but most of the time I delete them forever. i know it doesn't look like it because the fic is massive but I have trimmed it so much over the years you wouldn't believe what the og draft looked like. trust me, you wouldn't love those 100k words of scraps!!

#anon #hiuh #they're usually scenes i need to get out of my system on the first draft but they end up being either too self indulgent #or straight up insane #i was talking to ruth about this yesterday and i remembered there was so much about aimeric's abuse in this #it was supposed to be a brothers subplot #like kastor auguste aimeric's brothers etc - all to reflect on biological family stuff #but in the end it read like straight up demented lmaoooo #rip aimeric nobody cares about you my son #even for wtsioa i wrote entire chapters that didn't make the cut but lol we dont talk about THAT disaster ok

as everyone is talking about bad media literacy i want to talk about a conversation my sister had with me about barbie. minor spoilers (first ~30 mins) ahead.

now, i still havent seen barbie (i get around to watching things very, very slowly, if at all), but i knew the basic gist almost immediately based on vague internet posts.

my sister is 15 and very into that kind of diet feminism that seems radical when you’re 15 and your worst oppression is your band teacher picking the guy drummer over you (which sucks, btw, esp bc she’s objectively better and more disciplined, but like, you know what i mean). i do my best to nudge her to more critical thinking and such, but i was a 15yo diet feminist once too, i know how it goes.

anyway, with those two bits of knowledge i figured she’d like barbie, get the messaging, all of that.

she texts me that night and says “ummm so i’m watching barbie and they’re hating on cellulite a lot. like it’s one of the major reasons she’s leaving barbieland and they have a banner that says goodbye cellulite at the goodbye party”

and i was like. baffled. bc i was under the impression that she knew how movies worked. i mean, we both poke fun at our OTHER sister who can never pay attention to a movie and always ends up making us pause it to explain plot points she missed, so surely she understands story structure, right? that the protagonist has to learn a lesson? it’s fucking BARBIE. i knew months ago commentary on beauty standards was probably going to play a big role. esp bc it’s greta gerwig but i don’t think my sister knows who she is.

so admittedly i was less nice than i could have been when i was like girl you do understand the movie is about barbie leaving her perfect girl world and having to come to terms with reality, right. and learning she doesn’t have to be perfect. like. i just needed to hear “barbie leaves barbieland and goes to the real world” to put that together.

and like. i haven’t seen the movie but what she described sounds REALLY over the top. a “goodbye cellulite” banner? very unserious. would not ping in my brain as The Message Of The Movie at all.

i am genuinely concerned that my sister was worried the barbie movie (2023) was going to be all about hating cellulite and upholding beauty standards. this kid is smart. she’s 100% open to and aligned with the movie’s messaging. what about when it comes to a piece of media she’s less open to? one that presents a stance she doesn’t agree with and then doesn’t spend the rest of the movie explicitly condemning it?

#bird noises #barbie #media literacy #idk idk #maybe i’m overreacting #but it feels bad to me #shes a self-proclaimed ‘bookworm’ too so like. she reads and stuff!#obviously OBVIOUSLY that doesnt mean much but still #(i put it in quotes bc its one of her character traits that is just blatantly stolen from me and her other sister. youngest energy.#and she doesn’t actually read that much other than that time she ripped through the whole percy jackson series #sorry am i making it too obvious that we have a complicated negative-neutral relationship sorry)#anyway. back to barbie and diet feminism

Hate how I didn't even think until now abt how zelda was alone as a dragon for so many years until the present. I wonder way too much abt how everything was for her and esp now as a dragon like mineru did say you lose yourself completely iirc but reg the tears shed do I believe it's not fully true. Maybe depends how strong your spirit is. Like yeah she can't really communicate well anymore but she recognizes us and her eyes. Her eyes I still can't get over them they're so full of emotion that's absolutely her eyes. Like. You're still inside that dragon when you become one if you try your best to remember is what I think (or want to believe). It's 5am I am not going to try to explain my already barely coherent thoughts better. Too much possibilities where I think some border on denial. I am a fluff not angst person. Anyways I wonder how long all those years felt what do you do as a dragon did the sages try talking to her dragon form or like anything-

#totk spoilers #rent free in my brain huh #I almost play 24h without pause hylia help me #(well minus for like. necessities like food)#still need to beat the story #I cannot believe I seriously considered her going through time or smth smth time power shenanigans #I completely forgot the sword needs a lot of time to get power. rip me.#I am not a fan of angst I like fluff stuff why is my brain just absolutely occupied with dragon zelda #mmmmaybe bc I suprisingly quick accepted it already. at least I can paraglide next to her and all #also maybe I forgot a lot that I read and know abt the timeline bc I think I wreck my head too much abt that too #I got the hyrule historia but like. how does botw tie in again. I think abt it too much it's just for fun damm it #I say since hours only this then bed and now it's 5am #I am awake since 7 and play since what 8? 9?#Absolutely insane how loz got me in a chokehold again but I lately don't even touch pokemas for daily missions #Obv in the back of my mind 24/7 but I feel so odd when pkmn in literally any regard isn't the thing that gets constantly #shaken around in my head with little focus for anything else #In other news I would die for penn and tauro is also neat wanna snatch his hairstyle #also zonai are one of the prettiest races ever. would love to be one or some of the zora ones #anyways all I got is 'I wonder if'#I like. barely talk abt such things it's such a new refreshing thing and I'm sorry I talk mostly for myself #(such things being speculations hc whatever I mostly just kept to myself bc my ex bff just did not care. yay.)#(so fuck if I know much abt fleshing out n all)#a wild lux appears

please i'm in love with him

ID: audio clip from 1998 radio production of Taming of the Shrew, with Burn Gorman as Grumio & Gerard McSorley as Petruchio:

Grumio. 'Knock at the gate?' O heavens! Spake you not these words plain: 'Sirrah knock me here, rap me here, knock me well, and knock me soundly'? And come you now with 'knocking at the gate'?

Petruchio. Sirrah, be gone-

#grumio grumio i utterly adore you grumio #burn gorman #gerard mcsorley #petruchio #the taming of the shrew #i literally had to pause the cassette because i was laughing too hard to focus on the audio #bill shakespeare ya cheeky basterd ya've done it again #man i need a tag for burn now fuck #sorry the audio just kind of cuts off- it's a bitch ripping stuff from tape #the drive uploads will be less abrupt i promise <3 #shut up ace #ngl I've missed the bard; i need to watch/listen/read more of his plays

Dear Mr. Edgeworth,

I recall from one of your previous postings that you are particularly fond of cats, and am interested in your opinions on other animals commonly kept for human companionship. What are your thoughts on dogs? Horses? Rodents? Birds and reptiles?

I would assume that last one would have interesting twofold connotations given your status as a law student, due to these creatures' association with the legal profession - the epithet of "legal eagle" on the positive side, and all the jokes about snakes and crocodilians' show of professional courtesy on the negative. As an enthusiast of all things reptile related, I feel it is a reputation undeserved by these misunderstood, scaly creatures... as well as those aspiring to take on careers in law, very important for society...

But I digress. Lastly, I would also take it that, for rather obvious reasons, you don't really like fish, the way they remind you of a certain someone...

Regards, Seraphine. Again, may you excel in your studies, and no slanderous jokes come your way.

Dear Ms Seraphine,

Thank you for the kind words and inspiring thoughts.

Despite, as you noted correctly, being fascinated by cats, I am not that fond of most domestic animals, and my liking for cats is simply an amusing exception. However, there are still some species that I could call charming and interesting in ways different from keeping them as pets.

The first animal that came to mind was a graceful black panther. Ever since I was a kid, I thought of panthers as majestic, powerful guardians, trustworthy leaders, and dangerous vigilantes. They might not represent justice in the traditional sense of court cases and hour-long debates, but if one crosses their road, they should be wary of seeing their eyes shine in the dark when the night falls.

On the other hand, I could never resist swift, elegant antelopes' beauty. As someone who has always strived for success and improvement, their efortless endurance and resilience resonated with me; antelopes are in a constant state of action, awareness, and searching for new paths, opportunities. For me, they are a symbol of motivation and energy.

As my final point, I would like to mention swans. Even though they are often depicted as an embodiment of love, from swan figurines being placed on wedding cakes to towel swans on hotel beds, these birds have always struck me as an exquisite representation of change. On another note, the concept of a swan song has captivated me ever since I learned what the expression meant. It is impossible to deny that I spent hours considering what my swan song could possibly be, and to tell the truth, I still think about it from time to time.

Unfortunately, I do not have a strong stance on reptiles. They are the most beautiful when admired from afar, and their quiet deadliness amazes me; snakes in particular have been painted as villains since the beginning of time, so despite me condemning the demonization of reptiles, I understand why people have those... preconcieved notions about them.

Keeping rodents and other smaller animals as pets does not make much sense to me. For me, it would be impossible to love something that is barely capable of communicating its needs. These fluff balls always seemed closer to decor than to actual companions.

As for fish, I would not say that a certain someone you mentioned has enough influence over me to make me actively dislike fish. Marine species look magnificent in acquariums when the interior is done right, and personally, I do not mind fish... served with a tasteful side dish, that is.

Best regards,

Vincent Edgeworth

#My father used to have a Great Dane.#It's menacing presence was ominous at times and even though the dog loved me I had the same thought at the back of my mind:#what if one day it decided to drop the act and ripped my throat out?#This is to say that I do not like dogs. Not because of the Dane but in general.#I cannot trust them because of how trusting and loyal they are sometimes.#ooc: thanks to my beloved partner the fandom was blessed with deer-vincent and i want people to Think about him #i doubt that canon vincent would like deers much however i still felt the need to mention them in some way #vincent is a deer a strong graceful scared hit by a car deer #please it makes so much sense to me i--#also i guess all the animals in this post were also characters in books you usually read to kids #he probably read everything himself. poor boy Did Not need any help and missed out on bedtime strories with his parents #sorry i am sleepy and have too much stuff in my head hope this makes sense!!#vtsom #vincent the secret of myers #vincent edgeworth #rp #ask blog
