#WHAT IF THEY GET THE SAME COMPOSER?!

[revenantghost]

Same podcast with with Trigun Stampede producer Yoshihiro Watanabe, and to once again quote him:

“For Trigun, i definitely want to do some sort of (video) game, and we’ve talked to a couple companies, so we’ll see what comes through.”

LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

#Trigun #Trigun Stampede #Tristamp #I WANT IT I NEED IT I MUST CONSUME IT #WHAT IF THEY GET THE SAME COMPOSER?! #AND THEY CAN WORK WITH THE ALREADY EXISTING MODELS?!?! #AhhhhhhhHHHHHHHH

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #tulu xuanwu #Something about changing the action sequence to something gentle is hilarious to me. #The lesson here is “Be nice to turtles. They are gentle creatures. And many are very endangered.” #don't get me wrong here; I love this scene a lot. LWJ's string technique is one of my favoyrite things. #We do get a fair amount of LWJ fighting but I always loved how the theme of strings comes into play. #There is actually a lot to unpack with LWJ being associate with 'strings'. #The musicianship: Of dedication and rigor in one's practice. #The tension between following along a path or composing your own way forwards (playing what has been written vs composing) #A string is a tightly coiled/taunt entity; The same tension that makes it sing so beautifully can be it's downfall if pushed too hard. #And as a non-musical string - something that binds. Be it to his sect and family or how he binds his fate to WWX - #LWJ cannot exist without his binds. It is not something which ties him down though. It keeps him together. #And he himself *is* a bind. He 'ties wwx down' in ways that are initially negatively viewed ('come to gusu' - feels like: come be trapped) #But later it is shown how (despite being introduced as a free spirit) WWX truly wants to be bound to something and someone. #Marriage is a bind he wants. He wants to be tied and grounded by LWJ. #It's starting to sound like innuendo. Let's call his fondness for being literally tied up smart thematic writing. #Finally.

thinking about the first time will sees hannibal after three years. how the highly sophisticated man he remembers now looks wearier, his hair a little shorter, the lines in his face a little deeper. how he’s been degraded but still holds himself with pride and dignity, refusing to be humiliated. how will is a married man and really thought he was doing okay but knew he was kidding himself the moment he laid eyes on hannibal again because it doesn’t matter how much time passes he’s still horribly in love with him and never truly moved on. he knows he lost his heart the day hannibal gave himself up, and it didn’t start beating again until this moment, three years later. and the ache of it hurts so much more than it did before. if anything, the longer they’re separated the worse it gets

#he wanted to know whether they could survive separation and the answer is no. they can’t #and will trying his damn best to keep himself composed during his whole visit #refusing to call hannibal by first name and everything #and hannibal *still* manages to see right through him and get under his skin #the whole time will is torn between throwing himself out a window and smashing the glass right then and there to get hannibal out #the same way hannibal felt when he saw will in jail and realised he didn’t want him there anymore #it’s just the inherent longing and ache of seeing the person you love growing older and damaged and vulnerable with time #and you realising it doesn’t matter what happens or what they do because you fall more and more in love with them every day #s3b angst from will’s pov kills me my god #nbc hannibal #hannibal #will graham #hannigram #ghost speaks

dare i ask what happened between you and the deltarune discord

well well, you may as well tell me! considering i have no clue HAHAHAHAHA. I'm not actually in any deltarune servers myself, i only see screenshots float by like whale carcasses on the sea of the internet/hear of drama from pals and followers who do go there and think "hm! not dealing with that!"

#also just in general. you get any fandom with a wide enough fanbase composed of 15 year olds #*cough* and 18 year olds that have the same level of maturity lol #and you're gonna get people who are really hardcore about fandom/ship discourse #and I've always made it pretty clear that i think it's dumb as fuck and people need to chill #+ being a semi popular blog well they're gonna see me around and be annoyed by it. I'm assuming that's what that was about anyway #anyway if you got beef with me either come kiss me about it or keep minding your business 🙏 i don't wanna hear that #answered asks

i think steampianist's thing really suits kabukimono. the speaker in the song struggles to convey emotions properly and wishes to have certain traits ("hair like yours," "hands like yours," "eyes to stare and to cry with," "fingers that curl in the cold"), which can be read as fervently coveting to look and feel "normal." or, in kabukimono's case, to look and feel human.

like the speaker in the song, kabukimono cannot understand or show certain emotions, and so he learns from those around him (like a sponge absorbing new information) about human life. he hides his true nature as a puppet and learns how to live as a human, but as human as he may act he can never truly be human if the parameters set for what it means to be human are that (1) you must have a heart and (2) your lifespan must be finite (which are parameters kabukimono thinks equals humanity). he has neither of these, which is why he never truly views himself as a human even though you could argue that being "human" simply means you are a complex individual who can feel, think, speak, and articulate (all things kabukimono is capable of).

as the song nears its conclusion, it's implied that the speaker hurt or killed their friends in some way, and you learn that all along this "thing" has wanted companionship and to feel and display emotions properly. but something goes wrong and the result is this eerie line: "struggling only makes the hugs much tighter." both kabukimono and the speaker in the song are driven by their obsessions, and both have bloodied their hands as the result of their circumstances (kabukimono's motivation for murder being revenge and the speaker's most likely being the threat of their friends leaving, so they become determined to make them stay even if it ends in death).

and by the end, the speaker still continues to wish for the traits mentioned above. likewise, kabukimono continues in his travels after sating his hunger for revenge and with "human" traits he has learned and experienced throughout his journey, only to soon step onto the path that leads him to becoming a harbinger once he comes to believe that his "humanity" is a sign of weakness. and so he does away with the things that made him human and starts a new era of his existence (albeit a more violent, cruel one), much like how the speaker in the song will probably continue to search for a way to express themselves in socially acceptable ways.

i think popopo could also fit kabukimono in that it's a song about an alien who travels from planet to planet in hopes of finding a home and a friend, but no one accepts or wants him so he is constantly shunned and lonesome. thus he is a "shooting star sinking in the spacey, black tar" with "hopes and dreams in teardrops," which are lines that fit kabukimono so much!

#meraki mumbles #yandere scaramouche #'thing' is one of my favorite songs from steampianist #and 'the botanist' and 'the detective' are also so good because they're intertwined within the same storyline #i adore everything about 'the botanist' because not only are the lyrics and instrumental brilliantly composed #the story itself is also so good!!! #a botanist who is 'allergic to humans' has become infatuated with a woman he sees from the windows in his lab #and this woman is allergic to flowers so she doesn't interact with the botanist often #but this only causes him to grow more obsessed #you learn in 'the detective' that the botanist is the one responsible for killing women and taking out their hearts #who the detective has been searching for to solve what felt like an unsolvable case #until the conjoined storylines are interrupted by the plot in 'black hole' which is the result of a shunned scientist creating a black hole #to prove everyone who doubted and ignored her wrong #(a song that really fits dottore) #'unrequited love and he who sleeps beneath' is also really good because the lovecraftian references are very *chef's kiss* #but also because it's a song that reminds me of azul #the singer gets her heart broken and is mentally weak enough for the old ones to invade her mind #if that isn't azulcore i do not know what is

The difference in energy between joshneku and beatneku is staggering lmao, like SUCH a vibe change. Beat & Neku r like that couple that's fucking sickening to be around bc they're yearning at the same time that they're literally all over each other, like stealing each other's drinks and buying each other flowers and holding hands even when it's severely inconveniencing. meanwhile I literally can't imagine joshneku as anything but hand in unlovable hand, I can make him worse also they divorce and get back together and divorce again like six times and each time Neku's like eating ice cream and sobbing on Shiki's well-adjusted lesbian lap while she's fucking sweating trying not to tell him she got engaged to Eri last month and Beat's just eating drywall from the pain of not killing Joshua with his bare hands  

#beatneku #joshneku #daisukenojo bito #neku sakuraba #yoshiya kiryu #twewy #ntwewy #Beat 2 Joshua: I swear to fucking god prissy if you step outside of his view for a single second imma choke the immortality right outta u #every one of the joshneku divorces is over something fucking stupid like Josh forgetting Neku's birthday bc he forgot humans care #one of them is about Joshua refusing to sleep in the same bed as Neku cause Josh thinks sleeping is weird #And Neku doesn't really care like it's about the fact that he wants cuddles. and Josh just DOES NOT get the hint #he's like babe we can cuddle when you're awake. I have angel shit to do #Neku: WHAT stuff. YOU ARE THE WORLDS WORST COMPOSER. WHAT ARE YOU DOING THAT ISNT CUDDLING YOUR HUSBAND #fucking HAZUKI does more than u #and you just know Haz and Josh are 2000 year old on off again exes #so yeah they go their separate ways #Beat is SEETHING. SEETHING every time that he could treat Neku like a prince and hold him through his nightmares of Shinjuku #kiss his tears away and crap #Itd be so messy and hilarious actually yeah I see the appeal of joshneku now #DJ self reposts

Can I please have some comfort right now, if that's okay? People are watching me.

#i'm being impersonated and harassed #every day people in my past still try to find me. and i'm scared #not of what they might find. i have nothing to hide. but it's the constant fear of being watched and never being free #i'll never be free from the people who hurt me because they'll always find me somehow #i shouldn't be feeling so awful but at the same time. #i pour myself out to help others yet in return i get 'oh it doesn't bother me' and 'i've had it worse'. as if i doubt that for a second. #but please. not everyone has the same amount of emotional endurance. my patience has worn completely thin. #people i've known on here to be the most disgusting scum of the earth who no matter how many times i block them still show up in my inbox. #people from my old school still think they can get to me. a person who lied to me still wastes their time watching me #someone who i cared about the most probably still watches on and it's breaking me. #it always has been but i'm the sensible one. i'm not allowed to do this. i shouldn't be writing this but i'm getting desperate #i've taken deep breaths. i've drank water. i've done everything plus things i should not have to ease it off. #maybe the reason why i love puppets and artificial characters because i'm always used like one. like i'm a toy to break or put away #stupid analogy everyone has made for themselves but i'm done trying to be a good writer. the composer. #i want to feel without being judged but of course that's impossible. it's fine when it's strangers but relentless stalkers? it's wrecking m #it has been for ages but i was scared to say because i'm used to apathy and false promises. #i keep forgetting things and hurting myself. i'm getting scared.

see there’s kinda an issue with the doctors being named after the actor because hurt’s and martin’s doctors already have alternate names without a number plus then you have to use numbers anyway for tennant’s 3 doctors

I mean, I think the war and fugitive doctors having those unique names isn't necessarily an argument against just using the actor names, necessarily. I think it is v polite of them to fit into the catalogue of doctors without fucking up the numbering of the doctors.

Whereas if you consider stolen earth tennant doctor and journey's end doctor to be 2 separate doctors, well then you're just causing problems on purpose, aren't you,

#like to be clear I don't think that using the actors' names is the only efficient way to do it #it still has the problem of specifying which tennant you mean nowadays #but it cuts off that numbering pedantry at the knees #there are at most 2 actual david tennant doctors and if u disagree then u are nitpicking and I won't have that on my good christian blog #so I'd rather just specify that I mean the tennant that came after ecclestone or whittaker than indulge in their needless discourse #it's not the best system it is just the least annoying to me #for the record: I am a whittaker-13th and gatwa-14th believer and will not change my mind about the former #and I will not consider changing my mind about gatwa until we get those new episodes and we understand what the fuck is happening #but to me. whittaker regenerating into tennant doesn't affect the order any more than whittaker regenerating into dhawan did #they happened in the same damn episode and affect the numbering just as much to me #which is to say - by fuck all #I got this ask and started responding to it immediately btw. it just took me several minutes to compose my thoughts #like the ask got a complete rewrite at one point while I ironed out what I actually think on the matter lmao

incorrect. Devi is the special youngest baby and he could get away with murder and his parets would still coddle him

#technically he Does get away w murder in my ilw betrayal route #but anyway Devi was a Surprise Baby and his parents favorite #i mean not really their favorite bc all the Casil kids are great but he did have a lot of trauma growing up #and also technically in a way was a bit of an only child in the sense that his siblings were all mostly grown by the time he got to 1stgrad #so like. the way his parents rased him was a bit more coddled then the way they raised his siblings #but also at the same time it wasnt bc they were like “yeah we've already done this three times this shit is pretty easy actually” #anyway what im saying is that it was way easier for Devi to hit his parents w a 🥺 to get em to get mcdonalds for dinner than his siblings #his siblings did use that for evil btw. to get him to convince them to go out to eat more #also going back to the point of the screenshot his oldest sibling is an award winning composer their parents r fine w an artist child

One of my favorite things about the difference in the Lloyd and Garmadon fights in SoG and Hunted, is the music. Yes, they have a marked difference in tone just listening to them, but if you pay attention to the leitmotifs used, they also add to the story. (Leitmotif = a recurring musical phrase that represents a character or idea.)

“Garmadon’s True Potential” (which plays during the fight in True Potential) is primarily focused on Garmadon’s theme (the Sons of Garmadon theme is incorporated into Garmadon’s theme, showing their role in his revival) and the Garmadon family theme, with absolutely no usage of the Green Ninja theme. The one time the Ninjago theme is used is when it cuts to the other Ninja, it’s never used to symbolize a heroic moment by Lloyd. When Lloyd starts fighting in earnest, at the end, there’s no desperate-but-heroic rendition of the Green Ninja theme - it’s the SoG theme followed by the Garmadon family theme.

Being scored like this makes the fight basically entirely about Garmadon; Lloyd doesn’t get any victories, in the animation or musically. Lloyd goes into this fight with the intent to save his father, not fight him, so the music reflects that by emphasizing the Garmadon family theme. Garmadon’s theme is dissonant and evil sounding, while the Garmadon family theme is sad, bringing down the whole mood of the fight. Because there’s only one cutaway to the other Ninja, there’s also no reprieve; while the music does get quieter/less noisy in some moments, it’s six straight minutes of unsettling dissonance and tragic violins/vocals.

To contrast, “I Can Resist You” (which plays during the fight in Green Destiny) has all three themes, and more (for example, some interjections by the Resistance theme when it cuts to the other Ninja). It actually focuses less on Garmadon’s theme. This time, when Lloyd argues with his father, the Ninjago theme is played. When Lloyd grabs the Dragonbone Blade, we hear a modified Green Ninja theme. When he deflects a bolt of Destruction, Green Ninja theme.

Like the fight itself, this time the music feels like an actual fight instead of a one-sided beatdown, because Lloyd is musically represented by the Ninjago theme and Green Ninja theme. Garmadon’s theme and the family theme are still there, but the different instrumentation and harmonization lessen the impact on the mood. (Garmadon’s theme especially is played less and harmonized differently to make the overall music more melodic and thus feel less creepy.) Also, the music has “lighter” instruments like a flute, which the composers tend to associate with the heroes.

The unreleased portion of the soundtrack which plays after this track (starting when Lloyd gets the idea to use the Art of the Silent Fist) follows in a similar vein. During the parts where Lloyd is fighting Garmadon, the Resistance theme plays instead of Garmadon’s theme. When Lloyd gets his power back, the Green Ninja theme plays.

Musically, this shows the tide shifting as Lloyd starts winning. The Resistance theme is hopeful, really bringing up the mood. Garmadon’s theme only plays once more, at the very end when he’s lost his powers completely, and even then instead of being elaborated on in the usual continuation, a less dissonant variation is played which leads directly into the Green Ninja theme. It’s unified - there’s no interjection from Garmadon’s theme except at the end, signifying that the real fight is over.

tl;dr: In True Potential, the leitmotifs used are almost only Garmadon’s theme and the Garmadon family theme, which centers the scene on him and makes the fight one-sided musically. In Green Destiny, the Green Ninja, Ninjago, and Resistance themes give the fight more balance and focus on Lloyd’s victory. Also you should listen to the soundtrack because it’s good.

(Side note: Some people say that what I call the Garmadon family theme is simply Emperor Garmadon’s theme (and that he has two themes, I guess), but the Garmadon family theme only gets played in relation to, well, the Garmadon family. It’s just that a lot of the time, Lloyd ends up nearby when Emperor Garmadon gets screentime. Just listen to the musical cues for when he isn’t, though, and the 3-note theme gets played, not the family theme. [Unless he’s talking about Lloyd, which he does a lot.])

#star says #ninjago #lloyd garmadon #garmadon #star this seems like a lot of analysis on stuff the composers probably didn't intend you might say #my argument is to simply go watch the leitmotif spotlights on ninjago music's youtube #and then argue to me that the composers don't do this on purpose #this is literally what leitmotifs are meant for #i use the words leitmotif and theme interchangeably on this post btw but they aren't actually the same thing #the difference between a normal motif and a leitmotif #is that a leitmotif specifically represents #a person an idea an action #while a motif is just a musical theme #that gets repeated to create unity in the composition #sometimes it really IS that deep #my meta

Interview with Heartstopper Composer Adiescar Chase

I think the music is very reflective of how the characters feel and their situations…This is a very honest, truthful depiction of their lives and the situations they’re going through.

I really like to tap into the emotions. I’m a very empathetic person so I kind of can almost experience what they’re going through as I see it.

What’s so joyous about this show is that I’m just creating music for what I see and what I feel. And I’m hoping that will help the audience empathize and sympathize with the characters in that same way.

Listen to the Heartstopper Season 1 score in order with the show’s soundtrack.

#yaya love seeing young women composers getting work #heartstopper #adiescar chase #tv score #women in film #women composers #i loved this interview #sounds like she really got the emotional need of the score which is what i gathered from watching too #Youtube #music #soundtrack #ok no i did a thing #placing the score and soundtrack in the same playlist in order as aired #and im realizing how key that heartstopper motif is #gosh im miss score girl but this one skated right under my radar how effective it is #eta the link to the playlist for anyone curious

contemplating once again how i’ve just learned to not take things too personally these days. not so much as a “i’m cool with people being rude to me” kind of way, but more like how i’ve noticed myself just FORCING myself to not linger on every single social interaction i’ve had with a person. that one girl who just walked away after i introduced myself? whatever. that other guy who pointedly ignored me every time i said something? go off, i guess. that one girl who immediately dropped me once she found shiny new people to play with? could not care less. i think there’s a lot to be said in that a) i’ve decided i should be on my own side at least, and b) i’ve decided that i don’t need to go out of my way to be nice to people who like to ice others out, and c) cool, these experiences have just taught me how to reserve my energy for people who i might actually care about!
