I mean out of everything in Hbomberguy’s new video, I think the thing about James Somerton that just irks me the most is just… he’s a queer man who is so lazy and self absorbed that he cannot take the time to even learn about the queer history and media he is presenting.. about his own history!

I just! Look, with all the other creators I understand the laziness —they’re all just churning out content as fast as they can (save for internet historian cos he posts pretty infrequently), none of them care about the games and films they’re reviewing, about MLM’s and shitty corporations or about guys getting trapped in caves. They don’t care y’know, it’s easier to disrespect the sources they’re stealing from if they have no emotional attachment to the topics.

But James is gay.. he’s a queer man… he is apart of this community, I mean not to excuse his shitty misogynistic rants (cos they’re shitty and there’s no excuse for them) but that hatred comes from somewhere, Harris joked that “some straight woman hurt him” and like… I wouldn’t be surprised if James genuinely has felt pushed aside and forgotten because of his identity as a gay man….. but like if that’s the case then he understands queer erasure, he has experienced it firsthand and fucking… it’s incredibly disappointing to see him plagiarise queer voices on such a massive scale!

But idk. I originally found James Somerton because I was watching video essays about queer history and queer media analysis — y’know, actively going out there to learn my history and how it affects media in the present — James can’t even be fucked watching the shows he’s talking about. What is Arthur? Who is Mako?? Wtf is a Shonan??? Calling Becky Albertalli a straight woman, misgendering cast members in Owl House and Shera because (and I severely hope this is the case! Though at this point nothing would surprise me) he assumes they are all straight women, the whole thing with Disney’s gay nights and gay days… these are all such basic, simple facts that anyone could learn by looking at a fucking Wikipedia article (or in the case of mispronouncing Mako’s name.. just watching a single clip from the show).

It just really goes to show how little he actually cares about the content he’s making.. his videos aren’t passionate video essays, it’s content, views, money, sponsorships, it’s taking the 3 or 4 articles he read when he typed “movie gay” into google and making them look flashy and professional with pretty lighting so he can just shut out all the voices he doesn’t want to hear (actual queer people.. and I guess one right wing nut head) and make a quick buck off the content they worked hard to make!

Anyway. Top tier video from Hbomberguy as per usual. Im fucking mad but hey! At least I got an epic list of new YouTubers to check out and like a *shitload* of articles and books and documentaries I can go watch :)

#hbomberguy #james somerton #for the record when I heard Defunctland and Hbomberguy were gonna be uploading videos around similar times again #I messaged a friend and joked that *at least Hbomberguy’s video will cheer me up like the Oof video did* last time #fucking aged like milk there.. I am like genuinely so angry about the fucking scale of this shit!!! good video but goddamn!!!!!!!! #so keen to go through that list of other queer creators though.. some of them looked great #(also if y’all know other creators shout em out #im always keen to find new creators.. especially queer ones!!)

dude our brahms soloist got SIX bouquets after her performance. and one of those big novelty balloons

#i think that breaks some kind of record. Definitely the most i've ever seen lol #also i got a big cheer for my solo bow :> #when i caught her backstage afterwards during intermission she gave me a big hug and told me she was holding it in tonight #but teared up last night during dress rehearsal [for my solo] WAHHH ;;; that's so sweet she's so nice #and her dress is just Stunning. honestly #well! good first half. coriolan and haffner to go #sasha speaks #oboeposting

chanukkah night 7: songs

(click image for better quality!)

#dandy's doodles #inanimate insanity #ii #ii nickel #ii clover #ii goo #ii bot #ii cheer factory #kin #chanukkah #i admit this one is catering almost exclusively to fellow jews #as if you can't read hebrew the meaning is like. totally lost #but i don't want to just write a transliteration. that wouldn't be very fun #(and hebrew transliteration is never that good lol) #for the record the title of the song transliterated is 'mi yimalel' #anyway i loved doing the expressions on this one. they look very sweet :)

I feel as though I should share that Toyo named her gigantic white dog "Slurpy" (berobero; onomatopoiea for licking/slurping something) for how slobbery he is. Kaede and Momoko gently try to tell her that there's gotta be better names out there, but she's like "Nuh-uh! He's Slurpy 'cause he's slurpy!"

#sure it's not a flattering name but it makes sense #it's exactly the sort of name you'd expect a child to give a big slobbery dog #he stays by her bedside when she's too weak to move #and trundles along with her when she's having a hard time walking #and of course likes to give her kisses to try to cheer her up #he's a good boy #magia record #toyo

guys look at this ask i got yesterday

anyways have u guys ever heard this shit? give it a listen song of the summer fr

#chat #omg putting this at the top of the tags but i dont ppl coming to myyyyyy defense i guess like this is one of the stupidest asks ive ever #in my life LOL. one of the stupidest asks ever directed at me i mean. #there was a midtown concert yesterday in nj #just using it to talk abt mid fucking town #AND I WASNT THERE #i was reallllyyyyyy thinking abt going (that shit is like a day away from me and i dont have the money for shit like that) #was thinking abt having my own early 2010s family trip movie where wacky shit happens and i have a panic attack and almost die or something #but i couldnt fit it into my schedule 😞 #POSTING MIDTOWN REMINDS ME. i bought three cheers for sweet revenge record the other day 😁😁😁😁 #and my midtown living well is the best revenge record finally shipped after i emailed the seller abt it. and that shits not coming #until after christmas. whatever. midtown and mcr albums that are making out #SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT both midtown vinyls lwitbr and stwltg at the same time #but the shipping that 1 and one shirt took pissed me off bc i literally ordered the stuff one month ago exactly 😭😭😭 #and didnt get a tracking number until i asked. #whatever. thinking of buying that one hot mess vinyl bc they dont have any pressings of #any other cobra albums. unless im not looking good enough. sneefle sneefle #thinking of other albums to buy. im not an album person really i have to really like something or like the general vibe of something to #buy it idk. like the mcr album LOL #Spotify

it may be obvious to others but i am genuinely surprised every time i go back to old writing and see that I've actually improved since. who knew practicing a craft makes you better in it. this has literally never happened to me before

#I'm talking abt lyric writing btw #stories are..... a different case (somehow i only get worse with time) #also everyone pls cheer and clap for my positive attitude here. #that rather than going ''my old writing is shit i should've been killed for that alone'' i say ''i improved :)''. #that also never happened before 🧐 I've got a master's degree in self loathing so it's hard to break the habit. #the last thing i wrote tho i started in august 2022 and got stuck with it until literally 2 days ago #so you can actually see the difference between the first few lines and the rest of the song lol #they're fine. like. there's a reason i didn't delete them. #but reading the third verse and looking at the structure my younger self wouldn't have gone for. they're good i think #i need to record a draft of it hmmmm maybe some other time 😩

there's a certain quality the harmonies of like... early to mid 2000s alt rock has. which i am obsessed with... like i wanna do that. i NEED to figure out how to write harmonies that sound like that

#ari opinion hour #i sort of understand it but not necessarily well enough to do it on command #i think i sort of achieved the sound of it with my blaseball winter exchange song i did for snow but specifically only in the very last bit #like only with the 'im not alive anymore' part #(which sidenote i wish id had the second half faster + w more drive but its not like that was like a full recording which i could do) #i think i just need my music to have more teeth in general cause it scratches an itch that i think i must have developed due to some aspect #of music school. its probably my dissatisfaction with the attitudes in the classical world #<- which understand i say that in the same way that like my jazz prof does. the classical world doesnt have enough teeth nor enough #understanding of the way in which music is like. another art. and art needs to be able to have teeth and use elements normally regarded as #''undesirable'' on purpose because art is there to make you feel emotions and not just the positive ones and not just sadness or anger in #terms of the negative ones #art is there to make u feel ALL extant emotions and that includes boredom disgust fear jealousy pity cowardice apathy overwhelmedness etc #also the classical world i find often forgets what the word ''play'' means #i am of the opinion that perfection is a waste of time if i wanted perfect i'd ask a computer to do it for me. i want real #anyway. i forgot what this post was even about lol point is i need to figure out how to write harmonies that have that soaring quality that #like. you can hear it in like helena by mcr and wake me up by evanescence and stuff. and frankly most of the songs on three cheers for swee #revenge which i am listening to now for the first time. i need to learn more about this stuff maybe ill listen to the evanescence album tha #song is from next. #or something i should really be working on my essay but theres no way i wont have it done in time which is good i think i just mostly have #to worry about sources and stuff but even that should be relatively easy i think

FUCK why does autoheart sound so good live. like i vibe to some of my videos of their live songs way harder than their professional recordings. idk what it is but they sounded just SO SO GOOD LIVE i need to see them again or I'll perish

#autoheart #i think the live percussion is what elevates it #AND AND AND that moment in moscow where theres the little ascending notes after 'snowflakes are gently falling' THEYRE SO GOOD LIVE #LIKE EVERYONE IN THE CROWD WAS CHEERING AFTER THEM #i think it does come down to percussion bc i'm a sucker for super full-sounding instrumentals #but also they introduced so many variations and opt ups or downs on notes #and it sucks cuz theyre so small that no ones done a full recording!!!! #i have a full recording of juggernaut i'm willing to share! but i do scream and voice crack a little lol. and im jumping the entire time #they better put juggernaut on their next american setlist or i'll die sad #like THE OPT UP ON 'TETRICAINE' IS INSANE #rambles

The only good thing that happened on this boring race

why do you as a western leftist gentile feel the need to clarify/emphasize that the (largely child) hostages being released as part of the deal are "non-military civilians". quickly now

#and why do you not feel the same need to clarify that the prisoners they're being exchanged for 3 to 1 #are convicted murderers and attempted murderers #quickly now! #also the people who insist on saying 'it's not REALLY a ceasefire' are correct but in the wrong way of course #you are welcome and encouraged of course to prove me wrong here but #are you cheering/campaigning for an end to the barrage of rockets fired at israeli civilians from hamas too? #or rather do you genuinely expect that to be an outcome of this deal (or at all)? #because i certainly don't. not exactly a good track record to rely on here

i went to my baby sisters schoolwide music/singing show and i literally left feeling so happy

#wind howls #the show was amazing 1st to 6th graders can b so full of talent and display it so beautifully when they have a good teacher forreal forreal #i watched a little boy go crazy on the bongo playing the beat for Mission Impossible while his friend did the melody on the piano #i was speechless the entire time. those two were 4th graders and they had the whole gym roaring with cheers and claps #and my baby sister was SO SO CUTE she accompanied the 5th graders on the recorder and then sung when it was the 6ths time #i cried i did 😭 they were so cute she was so cute she was so proud of herself anf im so so so proud of her #we also watched 2 videos of other students who played wonderful songs on the marimba and xylophones and thats so incredible #kids are so so talented #i also almost started crying whrn the 1st graders started singing because they are so small and their voices are so cute and im really weak #im so so so glad i went ohhh my GOD #im so so proud of my baby sister its unreal !!!! everyone congratulate her NOW

[crowley1990]

I was holding my phone up for the full four minutes of the bows and then when I went to press stop realised I had failed to record 😑

#I didn’t clap or cheer as much as I’d have liked because I was recording… #Except I wasn’t. #Ugh. Because I had a better view today it would have been a good video.

[jankwritten]

I just saw my local universtiy put on The Lightning Thief musical and GUYS. IT WAS FUCKING INCREDIBLE. LITERALLY ALL OF IT WAS SO FUCKING GOOD. Like the casting was good, the jokes landed, everybody stayed in character, all of the singing was fucking great (CHARON/MISTER D/HADES HAD LITERALLY SUCH A FUCKING PERFECT VOICE FOR THEIR ROLES I WAS LITERALLY IN AWE ANY TIME THEY WERE SINGING IT WAS THAT GOOD), all of the visual gags paid off, it was genuinely so fucking good!!!!

All my "theater" knowledge up until this point has been High School theater, and not great high school theater, so I was going into it expecting to have a pleasant but not overall mindblowing experience, you know, kinda trying to be chill about it. BUT THEN???? LIterally as soon as it fucking started I was like "Oh, oh this is like REALLY real."

And it was blackbox theater, which idk if that's a regular term of if it's just what my mom was calling it (she used to perform in this same theater that we were in, she's an alumni of this place) so it was super small, no real "stage", just a slightly raised platform and then chairs on risers along the perimeter. I kept making eye contact with the actor playing Ares/Gabe SOB that was really funny tbh. But I really loved it in that format because it felt way more intimate and like, real, if that makes sense? like it felt very On Brand for the musical to be taking place that close to the audience, and it genuinely sucked me in soooo much, sometimes I would register that there were other people across the room and I'd jolt like oh, right, this is a musical in this room we're all in aosiduaoisdu

I think Grover and Chiron were my favorite parts, though literally all of it was so fucking good I don't even know if I can say that. But Grover was jsut SOOO well done, like he was exactly how I envisioned him and also his faces and the physical gestures and everything were so Grover!!!! and Chiron of course was like, the perfect mixture of "I know everything and am your leader" and "i am a slightly bumbling idiot". His "tail" was a bunch of yarn stuck to the back of his pants and his "hooves" were the chorus making clopping noises every time he stepped (AND HE TOOK HIGH KNEE STEPS EVERY TIME IT WAS SO FUNNY. there was a gag where dionysus led him out of the scene by dangling a carrot and IDK if that's in the original musical or not but it KILLED ME)

I was so impressed by Percy and ANnabeth too!!!! percy's actor was for sure struggling near the end because, duh, it's a fucking hard musical, but the way they worked in water breaks for him and also the way that he handled it all was phenomenal! And Annabeth too, she had SUCH a hard role to play and she played it really fucking well, and confidently, and I believed that she and Percy's character genuinely were friends and liked one another. AND SALLY TOO!!! LIke she was soooo well played I really felt like she was Percy's mother, like she was there for him and loved him. And all of the scenes where there were like, interruptions, IE a character breaking into another character's lines like interrupting what they were saying, it worked out perfectly and was so natural which like, even in PRODUCED TV SHOWS AND MOVIES sometimes shit like that feels unnatural and that was genuinely part of what drew me in so much, it just all felt so NATURAL. Like I cannot even IMAGINE all the practice and hard work that these guys must've put into this production for it to be THAT good and well rehearsed. (again, all of my history of productions is high school productions so SOB BUT STILL!!!!!)

The fucking minotaruw as just two dudes running around in an enormous bathrobe on top of one another and THAT WAS ALSO SO WELL DONE LIKE LITERALLY

I could go on and on. I probably will go on and on (my friends and parents have already borne the brunt of my rambling because I want to REMEMBER THIS GODDAMMIT) in reblogs but wow. wowowowow. I HIGHLY encourage anybody who feels comfortable to go out and try and see a production of the musical if it's near you. Support your local productions and colleges and stuff. that was a damn good time.

oh damn and the fucking medusa scene? PErcy's actor literally running around waving his sword like a maniac WITH HIS EYES CLOSED and yet he didn't hit any of the people in the front row, who were on the same level as him. That was SO impressive, I was slightly in awe.

oh and YES, they did do the toilet paper visual. which ruled. obviously.

#the lightning thief musical #Percy Jackson #PJO #Annabeth Chase #Grover Underwood #i'm not gonna tag everyone I promise #my throat hurts from cheering for everybody at the end #I did wear my CHB hoodie but it was too hot (and I got embarrassed about it) so I took it off LMAO #and obviously it wasn't perfect or faultless #but I can excuse literally all of the mistakes and everything because of how fucking good the rest of it was #Did Grover miss a cue? yeah absolutely. did it 100% work with his character for him to hesitate at that moment so it actually felt natural? #yeah absolutely #(you could like tell that it was an error though bc he sort of broke character for a second about it) #BUT THEN HE ABSOLUTEly nailed TREE ON THE HILL AND I LITERALLY WANTED TO HUG HIM SO BAD BRO #Medusa almost tripped and fell on her shoes. also very on brand. #god that was just such a good time #and this is coming from a person who is SOOOO nitpicky and I generally latch onto all the negatives and bad things #I don't even care about all that. i loved it genuinely SO fucking much. oh my god. #I wish I had a recording of it so I could watch it all again rn not even lying #do i perhaps have a tiny crush on Chiron's actor? yeah of course I do don't at me about it he was cute and his voice was perfection #like percy almost flying off into tartarus was even so good. just all of it it was FUCK it was literally so good i'm just i'm crunching i'm #i love PJO so much man. it is UNHEALTHY how muc I adore this franchise. #i am also incidentally now 12 times more excited for the actual show to come out #but until then those stage actors are going to be how the characters look in my head fr fr
