pathetic moshang moment as in. mbj passionately saying some shit like "don't work tomorrow. leave it to me." And it's the sexiest thing sqh has even heard ^anyway next day mbj burns out and nearly dies from overheating bc he could never imagine someone might have this much work to do(alos he does half of it wrong bc he has no idea what do humans on the peaks actually need). when sqh realizes how much he has to fix, he goes grey

#there's NO way these two can exist peacefully #but none of them would even think sth like “damn you're the source of all my problems” bc they're so dumb and in love #like separate them for a day and they both gonna be like “fuck it it's so boring when no piano falls on my head or sumn” #svsss #moshang

让黑夜吞噬最后一点光

Let night swallow the last bit of light

就当是一场梦

Pretend this is all a dream

如果无法挣脱索性就让一切都失控吧

If I can't escape, then let everything go out of control

尝尝我的痛

If you have a taste of my pain

或许才会明白哭到失声根本没有用吧

Maybe you'll understand that there is no point to crying

倒数着三二一零

Count down, three two one zero

卖弄可笑的六欲七情

You're still playing up your laughable emotions and desires

这世界已经天翻地覆

This world has already been turned upside down

不如和我一起跳到深渊感受这失重吧 Why don't you jump into the abyss to feel this weightlessness with me

叫他们的幻想蒸发

Let their dreams evaporate

像是面无表情撕碎玩具那般从容

As simple as coldly tearing apart a stuffed toy

谁叫他们学不会听话

It's their fault they keep falling into my hands again and again

还是一次又一次地落入我的手中

Because they can't learn to stay in line

早听腻了烦人的叽叽喳喳

I've long grown tired of this annoying chattering

用绝望在墙上染个碎花

Use despair to paint a splatter on the wall

请他们永远永远闭上嘴吧

Invite them to never, never speak again

[(LTX:) piano solo]

隐秘的血色的黑夜童话

The hidden, blood-soaked midnight fairytale

刹那间将所有光芒抹杀

Smothers all light in an instant

偷走那神的火把

Steal the torch of the gods

坠落下万丈悬崖

Fall down the bottomless abyss

没有归处的人等待世界崩塌

The ones with no home await the world's collapse

（最后的 狂欢吧

(The final carnival

最后的 狂欢吧）

The final carnival)

偷走那神的火把

Steal the torch of the gods

坠落下万丈悬崖

Fall down the bottomless abyss

没有归处的人啊

The ones with no home

静静沉睡吧

Sleep peacefully now

暂时藏起了利爪和鳞片

I'll conceal my claws and scales for now

魔鬼躲进她黑白的琴键

The demon hides in her black and white keys

收起你那套因果循环

Keep your talk of causality and repetition to yourself

我会遭报应吗？反正还没应验

Will I receive retribution? We don't know that yet

都是我的消耗品

(LX:) They're all expendables to me

被我牵着鼻子走还抓不着要领

I'm dragging you along by the nose and you still can't figure it out

一个 两个 三个 四个

(LX:) one, two, three, four

心跳加速只是我的白噪音

The sound of a racing heart is just white noise to me

撬开一层层的保险

Prying away the layers of safeguards

像茶余饭后的消遣

Just to pass the time after a fine meal

对黑夜缺了点敬畏

You people who get hurt needlessly

白白受伤的人

Because you lack respect for the night

看着我千万别眨眼

When you look at me, never blink

下一秒骇人的画面

Lest you miss the scenes of carnage

命运她由我来加减

I am the one who will alter fate herself

我是那灭灯的神

I am the god that extinguishes the light

隐秘的血色的黑夜童话

The hidden, blood-soaked midnight fairytale

刹那间将所有光芒抹杀

Smothers all light in an instant

偷走那神的火把

Steal the torch of the gods

坠落下万丈悬崖

Fall down the bottomless abyss

没有归处的人等待世界崩塌

The ones with no home await the world's collapse

没有归处的人啊

The ones with no home

静静沉睡吧

Sleep peacefully now

#link click #shi guang dai li ren #shiguang dailiren #时光代理人 #li tianchen #li tianxi #liu xiao #translations i made #ive been listening to this song like almost nonstop since it released on spotify i might have a problem #idk how clear it is that the piano solos are supposed to be ltx's parts of the song but yeah in like the title card sequence #like they have a card for lx and ltc as vocals and then another card for ltx: piano #idk i havent rly seen people talk about it. and how fucked up and evil/pos that is #ESPECIALLY CUZ. RIGHT BEFORE THE PIANO SOLO YOU CAN HEAR TIANCHEN GOING shhhh #like hes telling people to be quiet so they'll listen to his sister ;-; #also. felt the need to include those two line indicators for lx because idk i have a hard time telling apart their voices and #those two lines being by lx has some. WORRYING implications #although me using his initials is always gonna be kinda funny to me bc im doing lighting design for a school production which means #when i see the letters lx my first thought is lighting team LMAO #Youtube #Spotify #ALSO. ANOTHER FUNNY FUN FACT. FROM THE BTS WITH FAN KA. APPARENTLY LTC'S 321 COUNTDOWN WAS WRITTEN LIKE #WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF THE CONTENT OF 321 LIKE THE OTHER SONG #so like that whole thing was apparently a total coincidence. which #WILD

#today's promt is 'map' #idk i remember reading somewhere that Nick and Horse-man couldn't write sheet-music properly #and would instead write these intricate instructions for how stuff was to be played using symbols not accepted by the musical world at large #(they're just like me for real) #(i know how to read sheet music for bass and bass only) #(i use sheet music intended for the double bass when playing piano and guitar) #(it's a problem) #anyway #inktober? #pinktober #pink floyd #nick mason #roger waters #david gilmour #rick wright #art? #art

Can someone please recreate the "Peaches" scenes from the Mario movie, but instead of Bowser singing about Peach, change it to where Luigi is singing about Bowser?

#luigi #luigi nintendo #bowser #bowser nintendo #bowuigi #bowser x luigi #super mario #super mario bros #super mario movie #super mario bros movie #the super mario bros movie #mario movie spoilers #super mario movie spoilers #I don't know if anyone's thought of this yet so I will make my contribution to the idea #if anyone has already done this please send it my way #because I would love to see Luigi playing the piano while singing about his 10-foot turtle-dragon boyfriend #I would love to recreate the scenes myself but the problem is that I can't draw nor can I animate #I can probably write the new lyrics but I would need a few days to figure out the right lyrics for Luigi to sing

[curiosity-killed]

I think my biggest question for the whole trigun universe is how so many goddamn pianos made it into space. My second question is about Knives’ pipe organ on a spaceship

#pianos are not. unfinicky instruments #how are people keeping their moisture levels correct on the planetary equivalent of Death Valley #my tHIRD QUESTION is about how ppl have so many apparently plant-based food products (such as beer) without agriculture #curio reads trigun #or well. rewatches it currently #I am also. inexplicably. writing a fic about the trolley problem so. ??????

For better and for worse, [Sondheim's] is the most systematic and unsentimental mind that has ever addressed itself to the American musical—the sort of mind one might more easily imagine designing particle accelerators, or computer viruses too wily to destroy. “The first music teacher I had at Williams College was a man named Robert Barrow,” he says. “And everybody hated him because he was very dry, and I thought he was wonderful because he was very dry. And Barrow made me realize that all my romantic views of art were nonsense. I had always thought an angel came down and sat on your shoulder and whispered in your ear ‘dah-dah-dah-dum.’ Never occurred to me that art was something worked out. And suddenly it was the skies opening up. As soon as you find out what a leading tone is, you think, Oh my God. What a diatonic scale is—Oh my God! The logic of it. And, of course, what that meant to me was: Well, I can do that. Because you just don’t know. You think it’s a talent, you think you’re born with this thing. What I’ve found and what I believe is that everybody is talented. It’s just that some people get it developed and some don’t.”

(x) on the one hand, it's unbelievably funny that sondheim is like, "everyone would be thrilled to learn about leading tones and diatonic scales. the fact that i felt this way about them has nothing to do with me having any kind of talent. this is just the normal way for people to respond." but on the other hand i truly love so much knowing that one of the great creative luminaries of his century agreed with me that Teaching People Stuff Is Good Actually.

#one way i'd like started souring on things and a thing i still have a grudge over #was how often i'd hear or read people talking about the importance of teaching math in a way that nurtured mathematical creativity #meaning like: lots of problem solving with open ended problems not a lot of sitting down and doing your facts #and this made me feel very crazy bc i had taken piano lessons as a kid #(a 'purely' 'creative' pursuit) #and like... MUCH of my memory of learning to play the piano was. uh. #boring uncreative rote repetition in the service of building automaticity #and i mean. i was not a good piano student and i have no way of assessing my piano teacher's skill #but it's difficult for me to imagine a path to being a good pianist that does not run throough a lot of scales #or a way of even just memorizing a single piece that doesn't involve playing it until you're blue in the face #anyway. this isn't really about piano. it's about like #this notion that teachers had of capital-C Creativity #that felt totally separated from like the specifics of what i knew it meant to pursue like. many kinds of creative pursuits. #in a way that was like... what are you basing this on. where are you getting this idea. what does this look like in your head. #most of you are not people who consider yourselves to be particularly creative math thinkers #so what makes you feel like you know what it takes to turn someone into a creative math thinker

My first act as God will be to redesign the UI of the human body because let's face it, the current model sucks ass. How the hell am I supposed to diagnose needs and problems when 90% of maladies present as the same combination of 'headache,' 'fatigue,' 'dizziness,' and 'nausea'???? If my car flashed the same four lights when it needed a wiper fluid refill as when it was about to catch fire, that would be a BADLY DESIGNED CAR. I propose a series of 50 warning lights handily displayed on the forearm corresponding to various organ functions, as well as a HUD designed to alert the user to the presence of any developing infections or deficiencies in vitamins and nutrients. Also, pain will be entirely fucking replaced by an annoying pop-up. My next act as God will be to kill Elon Musk

#for legal purposes this is a joke #for tumblr reading comprehension purposes Yes i am aware of all the ethical problems posed by transhumanism. But consider this #I do not care. And one day in the utopian transhumanist future I shall replace my shitty fucked up wrist with a new cyborg one #and i'll play piano again.

[currenthyperf1xat1ons]

that feeling when the hyperfixation hyperfixates so much that you pick up an instrument that you’ve never played before and fixate on leaning to play songs from said fixation to calm the demons

does this happen to anyone else

#this could apply to so many things #but anyways i can now play faroes song on the piano with minimal error #i’ve never played piano before #this is a problem #malevolent #malevolent podcast #faroes song

[daisywords]

the worst part about being a pianist is that you can't just...simply take your instrument with you

#friends I am BEREFT #I was incredibly lucky to have my own piano for the last three years of college #and I mean like. someone gave it to me for free #and I also had access to a social network in the area + a pickup truck + my father who is an experienced piano mover and problem solver™ #but anyway I could not bring it with me when I left #and even if I could just manifest it here there is nowhere to put it in this house #that's the thing like. you can find pianos pretty cheap on facebook marketplace these days #but moving one is a whole ordeal #and then you have to have somewhere to put a whole piece of furniture #our living room is tiny :( #thinking I could maybe fit a keyboard in my bedroom if I could find one #but it's not the same... #anyway my best hope atm is getting door access to the church I attend #but I have yet to converse with anyone in a position to help me with that #and it's only a short walk which is nice #but still not the same as home piano #ik ik this is a very ''first world problem'' #but for most of my life I have been in the habit of playing almost every day #it's stress relieving! it's creative! it was...kind of loadbearing in some ways... #it's a very Jane Austen predicament. where's a secret fiancee to buy and deliver a surprise piano when you need one

ngl it’s genuinely kinda crazy how much of my life i have lost to mental illness :3 lol

#purrs #not time wise necessarily but like… aspect wise. like talking to my friends and pursuing hobbies and doing things that give my life meaning #and the very nature of the mental illness reinforces the detachment and fills me with so so so much shame for having lost these things that #it deters me from fighting to get it back. i feel like my life has gotten so gaunt since covid hit and sometimes it occurs to me how many #terrible things ahve happened and how im still pushing forward and everything is fine except for when i Remember. im feeling it now mr krab #delete later #like i used to be someone who hung out with my friends at least once a week and texted back and wrote poetry and played piano and kept my #room clean and took great care to stay organized and connected. and now at my own hands i am spiralling through space. im fighting my way #out of the quicksand i really think i am trying to but im still very much in the quicksand 😻 #side note idk if anyone else is having this problem but lately tumblr has been adding two hashtags to tags which keeps knocking off an #extra character to the end of my tags and it’s fucking annoying. i meant *krabs not krab lol

[sesamenom]

someone has probably asked this before or you've said that before but what instrument do you play??

just casually, but violin and piano (mostly piano right now)! seitz is one of my favorites to play on violin (i also love vivaldi music but sixteenth note scales are. not very relaxing) right now i'm playing around with changing the chords and tempo on a modified version of Canon in D for piano to convert it to what I call Canon in Dragon :)

#asks #not art #not silm #i find teh best way to deal with stiff wrists from using a laptop for too long is to play a moderately fast paced piano thing #duel of the fates is actually really good for stiffness! #ive been trying to do fur elise for years but unfortunately i have tiny hands and i cant do the chords/jumps fast enough #also have this problem with imperial march #like. i can barely reach the corner of an octave with my hand fully extended. i can't do that many octave chords in a row. argh #oh well maybe i should find a less painful imperial march #Canon in Dragon aka i repeated a section of the fast part and sped it up even more while slowing down the chords #im working with the short version right now because its easier to tackle for dragon-ifying #so the slow parts use nice calm chopin chords for LH and then it switches to a regular chord pattern and drops an octave #it is best played while yelling DRAGON DRAGON DRAGON #piano is fun because you can yell about dragons while playing :D
