#the music score ALONE
Text
Movie Night
18+
An earnest attempt to share the Halloween spirit with your ungrateful boyfriend backfires
You’re trying to concentrate on the screen where Michael Myers peers ominously through some bedsheets, the sharp sting of the music cue not even registering over the buzzing in your ears. Your nails dig into the rich leather of the sofa as your chest heaves. You’re not even halfway through the movie and the tension is already enough to have your heart pounding wildly out of your chest.
Your free hand leaves the bucket of popcorn to tangle in the hair of the man between your legs, leaving streaks of butter through his golden strands.
He promised that he’d behave while you showed him your favorite horror films but you should have known better than that. The moment he said he was bored, you should have realized that it was all over. It didn’t matter that the two of you were only ten minutes into the film. You’d joke that him being no better than an ipad kid, completely unable to stay focused, but it wasn’t a screen that held his ravenous attention. With every gripe about how nothing had happened yet, he’d carefully adjust his position on the couch. From cuddling with his arm around you to resting on his knees with your legs perched on his pompous golden eagles, he’d managed to make the transition so smooth that it wasn’t until he slowly began rolling your underwear down your legs that you’d realized his plot.
Now here you are, just innocently trying to show your boyfriend your favorite movie, but ruthlessly made to writhe in pleasure as he devoured you with a single minded hunger. Maybe you should have had a showing of Silence of the Lambs instead, with how hungry he was for your flesh. You want to complain but every gripe was replaced with a choked whimper.
“You’re missing it.” You manage to hiss. He just chuckles into your cunt.
“Babe…this movie has been going on forever and only one person has died. It’s gonna have to get a lot bloodier if you want me to pay attention.” He follows it up with a hearty lap through your folds, amused by the way you twitch as he flicks his tongue over your clit. You huff in a mixture of lust and righteous indignation.
“It’s the tension! This movie is a masterclass in suspense! That’s why it works.” You try to argue despite Homelander not easing up on his endeavor at all. Your hips buck and he holds you down with the gentleness of a feather but the strength of a titan. You’re not moving unless he wants you to. After all, you’re the one who made him stop his business to watch the damn movie. You’re going to stay put.
“Hmmm…so what I’m hearing is that you like being kept in suspense. Maybe I should keep you from coming until something in this movie finally fucking happens.” He smirks before looking up at you with a wicked gleam in his eyes. You swallow nervously at the look he’s giving you.
“FINE! But when it ramps up, it’s gonna ramp up quickly. You’ll be the one looking stupid when you realize how freaky this movie really is.” You retort, bumping him in the side of the head with your knee petulantly. He doesn’t even flinch. He just fucks you with his tongue till your legs lock up.
“In that case, I guess I’ll have to keep making you come until the movie slows back down. Either way, I’m going to be entertaining myself.” He purrs in a tone that is infuriatingly smug.
You’re not even sure which is worse, that he never even bothers to watch the movie, or that you’ll never be able to pay attention during it ever again.
#homelander#x reader#homelander x reader#homelander headcanons#I genuinely could write an essay on how Halloween is a masterclass of suspense#A friend told me it was boring once and I about cried#the music score ALONE#John Carpenter you are a genius

Honestly would absolutely love it if the Percy Jackson show incorporated some of the songs from the Percy Jackson Musical into their instrumentals. Imagine how awesome that'd be.
#if they can use a cover of riptide surely they can use a few notes or instrumentals from the actual Percy Jackson Musical#I also heard that one of the main people behind the musical score from the musical was recruited for the show so I'm hoping!#like how cool would it be to hear 'we're lost in the woods somewhere in New Jersey' when they actually ARE lost in the woods in the tv show#wouldn't that be a nice way to pay hommage to the musical???#which for so many fans was the only 'book accurate' adaptation we had for the longest time?#not to mention of course that the songs alone are absolute BANGERS!!!!!#fingers crossed 🤞#percy jackson#percy jackson and the olympians#percy jackson musical#percy jackson tv show#percy jackson trailer#music#disney+

I love how the broken, gilded cage Robin sits in appears to resemble a waterphone (and a phonograph within, by the look of it?). You may have heard its beautiful haunting voice in horror films and music in general. That the splash art attributes it to her, a Path of Harmony character, The Robin of Penacony, renowned singer across the stars, is so cool.
youtube
#HSR#Honkai Star Rail#Robin hsr#Trying to reclaim what dignity I have#.#It's such a great choice of musical instruments#A medley of instruments honestly#They really said the waterphone is for the sapphics-- (SHOT)#So far I've only seen one (1) public tweet about the waterphone like ueueue (sound of crying)#Robin! Waterphone! It's a delightful surprise ough#Also not to mention birds galore....#Birbs#The waterphone needs to leave me alone help I am still not over the fact they put it in Robin's splash art#Like she can apparently have resonance with other lifeforms? Excited to see how they'll spin it from there#Makes me want to re-experience Tales of the Abyss lore again waugh#Fonons... Fonic Hymn... The Score...#Robin von Star Rail as a Tales of character help#I need to stop rambling in the tags and catch Zs but music instruments! Robin! Chef's kiss

and if I said that Hum Hallelujah is the most p2 "love song" to me and didn't elaborate on that? what then?
#no it's because it's such an inherently vulnerable song to even write#let alone put on a record#maybe the first verse is pete and the second is patrick. I love you in the same way there's a chapel in a hospital.#the first ''I could write it better than you ever felt it'' is pete but the second repetition is patrick#because he's always scored pete's life#idk man. just. feeling really emotional about the sheer amounts of love inherent in 1) pete even sharing those lyrics#2) patrick scoring them. setting them to music. and 3) patrick SINGING THOSE WORDS#like. there is so much love present in that song just by nature of what it is and it freaking breaks me#she speaks!#fob#two halves of a whole member of fall out boy#I suppose here is when I clarify that I mean this platonically of course. like obviously. I'm very clear about that on this blog#but yeah. anyway#fall out boy#m

i literally sometimes have to stop breathing when watching stuff with beautiful scores with robyn so i don't break down into actual sobs and then have her think something is wrong.
#nothing ever is wrong#i just cry when music is really pretty#like i turn into a faucet when i'm alone listening to my score playlists on spotify#emilio.txt

#the scores have already shifted and face my fears is unfortunately but unsurprisingly behind#given that this is judging by music alone then that’s fair#but if we were judging by the game’s music videos? yeah kh3 opening is for sure my favorite opening#it’s just so HHHHHH *ascends* EPIC#asks#monoshiki#kingdom hearts

shows loooove to try and have musical motifs as another storytelling device but the truth that we all must accept is that nobody can match rwby's motif game
#like say what you will about the show but by GOD. the way Every Single Character Idea Theme Concept Relationship#is represented by motifs in the music that change and develop over time with the characters ?????? god. god god god god.#fun enrichment activity for the local music geek is listening to rwby soundtrack and Absorbing the motifs#if youre familiar with the motifs and what they represent you dont even need to WATCH THE SHOW to know whats happening#you can just listen to the motifs interact with each other. its that fucking good.#IM JUST!!!!!!!!!!! MUSIC WHEN IT HELPS TELL THE STORY MUSIC WHEN IT CAN ALMOST STAND ALONE AS A STORYTELLING DEVICE#ET CETERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#winter speaks#rwby#the thing that always makes me so so so insane is when the score interacts with jeff and casey's music too....#like when qrow had an Established Motif in the score that later turned out to be the main melody for bad luck charm....#MAN when bad luck charm first started playing onscreen the SCREAM I SCRUMPT#and with the arkos theme later turning into the melody for forever fall in v6......SCROMITING....#gah. anyway. im sooo normal about music and motifs and themes i prommy i prommy <- blatant lie#orchestral music tag

Kinda wild that the announcement teaser for Fate/strange fake's upcoming TV special (airdate Dec 31) already has nearly 1.3 million plays (views?) on Twitter. It's been up for less than a month.
Not wild because it’s a Fate property, obviously. It’s not even really wild that F/sf is getting a TV special; we all knew an adaptation was inevitable, the question was only ‘how long would one be held off?’ Nah, It’s just wild to me that this TV special will be the first major animated adaptation of one of Narita’s works since the Durarara!!x2 ended in 2016.
<snipping speculation re: the TV special and shoving it below the cut, since this post was just supposed to be a “wow this is wild” post.>
Man, if F/sf Volume 8 does come out in, say, January or February... I’m going to think happy thoughts and not “Baccano! Volume 23 top 10 betrayals” thoughts. I’m just going to hope the F/sf TV special will spotlight Ryohgo Narita’s name for mainstream western audiences and boost LN sales. On the one hand, it’s ‘just’ a TV special’. On the other hand, it’s a special seemingly hyped up by Aniplex and, uh, y’know, part of the Fate franchise.
Wasn’t F/sf the number 1 or top 3 ‘most requested anime adaptation’ in a poll a few years ago? That might account for some of the hype. Whether the special will lead to a 2023 summer TV anime like other Fate Dec 31 TV specials have, or whether it will be its own strange thing, the sheer fact of it finally happening is a Fate/strange feeling indeed..
It’s been pointed out that some other Fate adaptations have started with December 31 TV specials (Episode 0s) and gone on to have summer TV series, e.g. Lord El-Melloi and Grand Carnival. So...should we speculate this pattern repeats with F/sf? I haven’t really consumed anything in the Fate franchise and have little interest in doing so beyond F/sf, which I’ve been slowly and sporadically reading, so I’m not exactly familiar with precedent.
For instance, Fate precedent re: adapting incomplete source material. The LNs are at seven volumes so far and (though I’m not caught up yet) in the thick of the plot, and I’m not sure how a one- or two-cour anime would tackle adapting it. A two-cour anime would make more sense than one. Definitely not sure what a 24-minute TV special could accomplish, considering that F/sf is a bit like Baccano! with tons of stuff happening in one, two, three (etc.) days.
Maybe the TV special will be an hour long or something; that would make more sense. Aniplex announced it in a livestream, didn’t it? Hyped it up? Is it normal for Fate TV specials to get the amount of hype it feels like this one’s getting? Am I imagining the hype due to my Narita bias? A long TV special would warrant it. A long special is almost necessary if they’re planning to introduce characters with it, because the entirety of Volume 1 is character introductions and couldn’t possibly fit into a half hour.
Oh, hm, the special could feasibly function as some worldbuilding / backstory set up. I’m guessing that most if not all Fate stories review Fate’s conceit for hypothetical newcomers, which is what Narita helpfully semi-does in Volume 1 (thank God, since I’m essentially a newcomer). Narita’s twist on holy grail wars is new—I understand that pretty much every holy grail war in all the Fate derivates has gone awry / atypically since...the first series?—the setting (Snowfield, Nevada) is new... so a TV special ‘orienting’ viewers makes sense.
Except it makes sense only if the plan is 100% to proceed with a 2023 anime, so, who knows. R.L. (from the PSA teaser) and Ayaka (character’s VA returning) are both Volume 2 material, so... either the TV special is going to blitz through Volume 1 and end with R.L. and Ayaka as a huge cliffhanger / hype teaser, or possibly the special won’t function as a story episode at all and just be a compilation of ‘hype’ moments. That sounds... I mean, wouldn’t that just be spoiler central? I don’t buy that.
Precedent, huh. Also, since A-1 Pictures is handling the F/sf TV special, is it probable that A-1 would then handle a proper TV adaptation? Based on El-Melloi and Grand C., probably. Oh, wait, I forgot A-1 did that 2019 F/sf PV for the light novels—so make that ‘almost definitely’.
One potentially major aspect is that the TV special will have a simuldub, which, from what I’ve read, will be the first 1:1 complete simuldub of a Fate adaptation? Major for us since a simuldub will cast the spotlight on F/sf and concomitantly Narita’s name that much wider, even if the dub is terrible. The sheer novelty alone of a Fate simuldub may be enough to attract viewers. Er, beyond the existing big Fate audience, of course. I’ve also read that a simuldub was greenlit because F/sf is set in America (oh, Narita, you wag), but that’s no guarantee the dub will be any good.
....it’s also wild (well, weird) that I’m thinking this actively about an anime TV special, since I’ve barely watched anime these past few years. Could be that I’m aging out of anime, though, let’s be real, when I was an undergrad I was already more discerning. Could be that I’ve been in mental limbo ever since spring 2020 with the ‘advent’ (you know what I mean) of the pandemic and its affects on my grad school.)
#Ryohgo Narita#Fate/strange fake#F/sf#Fate franchise#PSA#long post#It should boost LN sales no matter what right? Is it possible to overestimate the Fate IP?#It's because it's Fate that I'm assuming sales boost is all but assured even if A-1 Pictures screws up.#With A-1 Pictures the quality of a show really depends on staff; Sawano composing the F/sf score alone is huge given how popular he is.#I don't have strong feelings about his music but his name translates to hype for a lot of people.#Sorry; this was just supposed to be a those video statistics are wild and so is Narita's return to anime post#but it ended up being a dump of F/sf thoughts.#I don't have many of those I swear; I've read the F/sf manga and 'am reading' the LNs...incrementally...#Way more thoughts on what does this mean for Narita than on F/sf itself at the moment.#the length of the post is also strange considering WOW my indifference to Fate is measurable and my knowledge minimal.#I'm having a decently good time with F/sf since it's Narita (also big plus that it's standalone despite all the meta references)#and actually it has raised my interest in Fate a little so let that append or amend my 'indifferent' statement#but I just don't have an urge to get into the rest of Fate soon. Maybe someday.

My Petco trip today
I was at Petco today deciding whether or not I wanted to get another betta since it's been a while since Mr. Shrimp Scampi passed.
1) I went in when they were cleaning the cups and it was taking forever so instead of making awkward laps around the store and running into the same two sales staff again and again, I went back to my car and sat for half an hour
2) Half an hour has passed. I go back in. The bettas are in their rightful slots. While I was looking at the fish, some guy rushes up to the display and starts things off with WHOA ARE THESE FISH ALIVE? ARE THEY REALLY ALIVE?!
I didn't think I needed to answer this, but he kept asking over and over again until I said something. I immediately followed this up with "I don't work here." (/unfriendly)
To no avail!!! He started picking up bettas and exclaiming and repeatedly asking me things like 'are these babies? do you know?? Have you ever bought one?'
Bro.
Bro I am. I am trying to see if I feel an emotional connection with any of these fish. I am trying to stare into their beady little eyes in a meaningful way. For the love of God please leave me alone
#mytext#i couldn't take it anymore and put the fish down and left thr store#trip unsuccessful (mission failed music score)#bro how much ruder do i have to be to get you to leave me alone#i should have said haha no these fish are actually all dead in fact. but i cant snark on command 😔#ill try again tomorrow after work...there were some really pretty galaxy koi. no HM plakat or aliens at this store tho
