I was tagged by @baeddel and charged with the following questions:

Last song: Mephisto by Queen Bee. This is the ED for Oshi no Ko, and that is indeed the context I first encountered it. But I've kind of become obsessed with Queen Bee ever since I saw this video of Avu-chan:

There is definitely an element of "I want to learn to sing but I cannot sound like a cis women no matter what so I have to figure out some other sort of voice to aspire towards". Not that I could ever have Avu-chan's ridiculous range lol. But they are sort of the coolest person I've ever seen.

After that I learned that I'd been hearing Avu-chan a whole bunch. For example, Avu-chan voices Inu-oh! All the fantastic songs I enjoyed in that film...

And that's not even the first time Avu-chan worked with Masaaki Yuasa. You remember that amazing version of Devilman no Uta from Devilman Crybaby?

Yeah, guess who.

But that's just focusing on the anime link. Queen Bee is the shit. Like check out this duet between Avu-chan and Avu-chan:

Or King Bitch with all the martial arts. Or Inu-hime which manages to pack a whole gory jidaigeki story into a three and a half minute music video. I'm still working my way back through Queen Bee's videos.

Forgive me, this is way more than one song ^^'

Currently watching: Besides Animation Night tonight? ^^

I recently finished Tengoku Daimakyou - which was imo strong right up to the end, and there's a bunch to write about it. But this says 'currently' so...

I'm presently catching up on Oshi no Ko. (Hence the Queen Bee listening.) Which is the one where the gynecologist is reincarnated as the son of an idol alongside one of his patients; said idol gets murdered, and then as a highschool student our boy's attempting to solve her murder while getting caught up in all sorts of showbiz drama. I've written a bit about Oshi no Ko before; two eps further on, the story continues to have some delightful swerves and I'm fascinated to see where they're going with all this. I can see it steadily orbiting certain themes - falsehood, performance, self-identity and so on - but what the ultimate thrust will be, remains to be seen.

I ended up rewatching a few episodes with @footsteps-on-the-dance-floor a couple weeks ago. On the rewatch, I was struck by how, in this show about acting, just how much attention is indeed paid to the acting of the characters. Not so much flashy sakuga, just lots of carefully observed interactions that I came to appreciate a lot as I understood the characters better.

Currently reading: [whoops, forgot this one, editing it in] Ghost in the Shell for fiction. Shirow's manga is fascinating. In some ways you can see all the material that made it out into Production IG's various adaptations, but in some ways the tone is so different, way less dry, way more unabashedly nerdy, the characters much more emotional. I'm fascinated by all the little asides and margin notes by Shirow.

For non fiction, I've got this book called "Queer British Art 1861-1967" by the Tate that I'm steadily reading. It's fascinating, I didn't know shit about most of the people they write about in here.

Current obsession: What do I do that can't be characterised as an obsession really ^^'

But besides work, and writing long posts on here, and drawing pictures, I've been trying to learn music. I mentioned singing, but the other strand is trying to learn the zhonghu. So let me tell you about zhonghus.

This is a Chinese musical instrument, a close sibling of the erhu. Like a violin, it's a bowed instrument; unlike a violin, it's held upright on your lap, it has only two strings, and the bow is held in between them.

The bowstrings are very loose compared to a violin bow, and you use your fingers to press them against one or other string. There is no fingerboard, let alone frets, so pitch depends on how hard you press the strings as well as where your fingers are positioned. Not to mention a million other variables to do with your specific instrument.

The zhonghu and the erhu are almost the same instrument; the zhonghu is tuned slightly lower, similar to a viola compared to a violin. Also? The soundbox is covered by snakeskin, so if you import an erhu (or zhonghu) from China, you have to go to some effort to certify that the snake in question was from a farm and not a wild snake. And you have to be really careful that the bowstring doesn't catch on the scales.

Why am I learning the zhonghu? Well. That's a long story but the tl;dr is my friend suggested I should be a zhonghu player and I was like you know what sure. So now I have her old zhonghu.

I used to play the violin, but I think the way I learned the violin left a lot to be desired in terms of actually understanding music. I could translate sheet music into finger positions, and fulfill my role in an orchestra for kids, but I lost the thread at uni, where I tried to play with the ceilidh band and found I was completely at sea in a more improvisational setting. Add like a decade of rust on top of that.

So it's safe to say that right now I'm really fucking bad at playing the zhonghu. Nevertheless, I'm trying to persevere. In the month or so since I started, with very irregular practice, I've gone from 'can only make a horrible scratching sound' to 'can play an open string' to 'never hitting a note first try' to 'can mostly hit notes until I try to move my hand', so I'm inching forwards. It's a long way until I can make the kind of beautiful music that the erhu is known for, and I don't have any belief I'll ever be notably good at it, but there's nothing to be lost in trying to learn a new thing, even if it's one that is not coming naturally to me at all. Better to struggle than to go my whole life never picking up an instrument again you know.

Tagging - uhhh let's say - @mogsk @schizsune @sisyphication @catnumbers @argyrocratie @centrally-unplanned @hamiltonianflow @sapeami-scalps-whites [if you'd like, in each case!] The questions are 'last song', 'currently watching', 'currently reading', 'current obsession', answer in as much or little detail as you like

Tagged in a meem by @60th!

Last song I listened to: I think the last song I chose to listen to in full was "Sam's Town" by The Killers bc I was listening to Hot Fuss in my iTunes library and it spilled over into the next album before I switched to podcasts! If we count head music, "How Do I Live (Bunny Back in the Box version)" by Michael Guy Bowman is still plaguing me from my guest episode on Unsound Theories, "Overbite" by Sincere Engineer, and "Two Coffins" by Against Me!

Last book I read: I recently caught up on Mixed Feelings, a Worm longfic by Kithri on AO3. My current reads are Love-in-a-Mist by Victoria Goddard in print, The Flower That Bloomed Nowhere by Lurina on Royal Road, and When the Angels Left the Old Country by @kuttithevangu as read over the phone to me by @toopunkrockforshul (the Victoria Goddard fanserver chose it for bookclub in August :^D but I lost my signed copy in the divorce D^: but I have a cool partner who is Super Fucking Hype :^D)

Last thing I watched: B*rd B*x Barc*lona, which was mid but I did enjoy it. Ooh and I still have a couple Wheel of Time episodes I can watch!

Current obsession: I don't have any right now and it is dealing low but noticeable psychic dps :^(

No obligation to do it and DEFINITELY no obligation to do it in as much detail as I did and EXTREMELY no obligation to tag 8 people to subsequently do it who don't overlap w ppl tagged in the same post as you nor the three people they are most likely to tag if they do it, but I'm interested in the answers of: @cwtchpup @kumbric @sangfielle @bitd @racheldawnamber @roaringup @orevet and uhhhh Kuzu if u read this far

[ineffablefool]

So I was tagged for this by @ineffable-kelpie, @zadusk *and* @joyandotherstories, and I love all of youse guys for thinking of me.  I love these kinda things even if I don’t always get around to playing.

The “rule” is “in a new post, show the last line you wrote and tag as many people as there are words”, but I am a rebel and never tag because A) it’s pressure on the people I tag and B) anyone I neglect/forget to tag might feel left out.  So if you want to do this then please do and @ me so I can see!

Technically the last line I wrote was actually in the fic I just posted a few days ago, but I dug out what might be the last line I wrote in anything that’s not yet published.

"Oh, god, you actually do," Crowley wheezed.

Alternately, it might have been

One of the bumpees cast a dirty look at Aziraphale’s back.  Crowley jabbed her

...which leaves off in mid-sentence, but the jabbing is being done with his pointy, pointy elbow as he follows Aziraphale down the crowded pavement.

Unfortunately, both fics are in the same file and I have gotten out of the habit of re-dating each piece as I pick it up again, so I can’t be sure which is more recent!

I was tagged by @afterdeck-ace, thank you!

I suppose the last line I wrote would actually be from this post: "Do you worry about the hunger?"

Hmmm I'll tag @user-needs-new-hyperfixation @seeingteacupsindragons @straycrayoncrypt @leviathiane @nenya85 and @winxhelina but if anyone else sees this and wants to, consider yourself tagged.

ADDICT (English | French MASHUP) -- Hazbin Hotel

If not everyone on the internet out there heard this at least once, it’s a nice adult cartoon, despite all the fancy colors and such it is definitely not for kiddos!

YOUR LAST LIFE (Puss In Boots Song) -- NerdOut

Always liked NerdOut fansongs, but this one somehow hits very different, the video montage and such might be a reason why.

ANCHOR -- Skillet

I don’t really have the words to express how i came to like this song, thanks again Youtube’s Algorithm !

CLARITYCRAFT (Pendulum, Zedd ft. Foxes, B.o.B MASHUP) -- Isosine

One of my big faves, i think i discovered it like two years ago ? Still liking it a heck of a lot !

APPRENDS-MOI -- Superbus

French song, i couldn’t not put one after all. It’s a song from my youth, damn i got an aging slap right in the face...

WIP game!

Tagged by the lovely and amazing @fidothefinch <3

Rules: Post the last line you wrote in your WIP and tag as many people as there are words.

Fic: BTHB Prisoner Exchange. Wrote some of this earlier today :)

He did his best to not stumble as he soon found himself getting hauled over to the same door, but the lingering effects of his capture and the ever-rising sea-sickness forced him to lean pathetically against the lacky as he was moved from the chair out onto the deck of the decently sized boat.

This challenge really came for my throat. Caught me on one of my long, rambling sentences. I'm not going to tag anyone, but I appreciate the tag anyways!
