#saltwater sonata

[the-ghost-of-jason-todd]

so a little morbid, but when i was researching sonar for saltwater sonata i found a lot of sonar pictures of recovered drowning victims in the water, and they are haunting as hell

there's a couple in the usa who spend most of their time searching for drowning victims that the cops can't or won't find/search for and man, that has to be harrowing

#idk how to tag this

Just me being sappy

I had a kind of self-revelation earlier. I just realised that one of the reasons I love Joe and Nicky in alternate universes is that I truly believe that no matter where or who they are in the world they will always find and love each other.

I just love reading all your takes on how they end up together.

If you or your work(s) appear on this list and you don't want it to be, please reach out, I don't want to hurt or vex anybody.

If you have any suggestion, I still have some sleep at nights, that should be remedied.

1. Welcome Heritage Panjim Inn

Welcome Heritage Pangym Inn, located in the heart of the Latin Quarter of Fontaine, the only hotel in Pangym, is Goa’s first classified heritage hotel.

This Catholic house was built by the respected and successful gentleman Francis Assis Disilver. Careful refurbishment and restoration of this hotel preserve the elegance and charm of the bygone.

2. Cumbarjua Canal

This is narrow saltwater that stretches for about 15km. It connects the two rivers of Goa, the Mandvi and Zuari rivers. The wetland banks of the

canal form a fragile ecosystem and are one of the best places in the state to find crocodiles.

Kambala Island was a no man’s land between Portugal and the territory of Villar. Therefore, the crocodiles found here were brought into these brackish waters about 100 years ago to repel intruders.

Located near Karangut Beach, Casa Severina is a great attempt to regain the glory of the past and showcase the splendor of the past in local heritage, culture, spirit and architecture. Experience the charm of this elegant mansion with your honeymoon tour package. In fact, it’s a true Gore Art Dive hospitality treat. Its owner, Joseph Sequeira, and his wife. Feliciana, when they say, summarize it well: “Come as a guest … and leave as a family.”

Casa or the hotel is a homage to your grandmother Severina. When it comes to luxury, the family didn’t get in the way to ensure everything. The rooms recreate the romance of Spanish sonatas with classic furniture and fine paintings. Last year’s romance comes back to life here. Take a walk through the fascinating fountain, pavilion views and gardens overlooking the fountain.

funky new theme! anyway for the fic writer ask thingy: 7, 14, 15, 18

Yeah!!!  Tumblr wiped my old one (which I am sad about) but this one is nice, too.

7. Which part of writing do you struggle with most? 

FINISHING, UGH.  Everything is fine when I’m excited about a fic but once the initial motivation is gone it’s a SLOUGH.  HATE THAT.

14. If you were stuck on a desert island with only two characters, which would you pick?

Oh hm.  From anything?  Jem Carstairs from TSC and Nile Freeman from TOG would be an interesting combination.  Fairly certain that between them they could keep us all alive, and Jem would keep us all sane.  Also would be some interesting conversations.  In addition, you KNOW Nile would find us a way off the island and back home in no time.

15. A Hollywood producer tells you that they want to film just one of your fics. Which fic would you want it to be?

OH.  FUCK.  UH.  GOTTA THINK.  Leaning toward Every Earthly Mark (aka the BNHA kiribaku soulmate fic) because it’s the one I’m converting into an original story?  But I mean... the Soulmate’s Guide is also very up there.  It definitely should be a soulmate fic because I LOVE those.  Ohhhhh but depending on production it would be REALLY EFFING COOL to see The Monstrophagus on the big screen.  It would be like Stranger Things except romance.

18. What is a line/scene you’re really proud of? Give us the DVD commentary for that scene.

TW for death and graphic descriptions of corpses, but I think this one is my favorite right now:

“They are.  Too late, that is.  Nile gasps above Joe, the flashlight in her hand beginning to waver as Joe reaches down, hand hovering over Nicolo’s gaunt cheek.  His eyes are open and staring, his chest unmoving, the water still in the bottom of the iron maiden also filling his slack mouth.  He’s a corpse—dead, nude, with hair and beard discolored green and impossibly long, skin gray and wrinkled from the water.  He’s thin, skeletal, and his arms are folded up by his sides to make room for his nails, which are long and curling.  His legs, too, are folded to make room for his toe-nails, that plus his gauntness making him seem impossibly small.  He’s like something inhuman, something dead but something divine—a being caught somewhere between constant death and eternal life.”

~Saltwater Sonata

It was one of the very first scenes I wrote for SS, long before I even had most of the plot figured out.  I just... I had this image in my head of Nicky coming out of the iron maiden for the first time in five hundred years, so vivid it felt like a waking dream.  Like a flashbulb going off, it just came to me.  Something dead but something divine... something between constant death and eternal life.  Like, wow.  That’s inspired. 

Not that that was all it took.  It took a LOT more than that to get it here, to this state.  It was the first scene in SS chronologically that showed Nicky’s physical state after spending so long under the sea, and that was super important to get right.  The movie kind of brushed over what would happen to a human who can’t die if they spent five hundred years underwater, but I had this morbid need to think about it and reconstruct it as realistically as possible.  This scene is fairly short, but very descriptive, because I did a LOT of research and math to figure out what, exactly, it would look like.  I’m just really proud of this scene because of the combination of raw vibes AND ALSO all the care and research that went into it.  Long live Nicolo di Genova, the soul at the bottom of the sea.

Things That Don’t Suck. 8/31/21.

Winter mornings while the sun rises. Light through the blinds. Bent spines you can see through skin. Lip scars. My boyfriend’s shoulder freckles. My parents when they forget they aren’t in love with each other. Headbanging. Comparing hand sizes. Sounds of drops hitting and rolling off forest leaves. Stained glass windows and the arches in a cathedral. Baby fingers. Baby toes. Baby laughter and baby mouths without teeth. Messy anatomy sketches. Sweat mixed with cologne. The sounds of a concert hall the moment after a symphony finishes. Glass cups and glass tables. Tracing words on one another’s skin. Bedsheet imprints on my brother’s face. Tea from expensive china. Cats on stomachs. Cracking knuckles. Solo piano sonatas. The glimmer of tears across the white of an eye. Pink faces half-concealed by scarves and puffy coats. Statues. Goosebumps from music. Fluent French spoken by Parisians. Crackling of paper in the wind. The warm scent of old old bookstores. People that run bookstores. Glossy wood. Saltwater. Renaissance paintings. Showing your soul in a dark room.

Tadpole Treble Review

Script for my upcoming review video on Tadpole Treble for Wii U and Steam

     I have almost 700 games on steam and it shouldn’t surprise you to know that most of them would be indie games. I’ve slowly obtained these games through steam sales and humble bundles. Therefore, I didn’t really get a lot of them through the desire to play them. While most indie games disappoint me and don’t really offer something for me to be interested, a small team lead by two brothers really interested me in their rhythm game so much that I had to sink my teeth into it.

     Tadpole treble, released by Bit-finity games in 2016 for Steam and Wii U. I only knew about this game through the man, the myth, the legend; Matthew Taranto. He’s well known for creating the popular webcomic BrawlintheFamily. Which I read since I was in high school every update up until its conclusion in 2014. During that time he would experiment with his game and publish demos to his website. After the end of his comic he, his brother, and Dane Caro launched their very own Kickstarter with a fair amount of success. I mean 34k out of 30k is plenty impressive. 

     Tadpole Treble, a game I absolutely had to purchase during launch, is a simple rhythm game where you’re a small tadpole named Baton. Get used to the puns folks, the whole game is full of them. You, as a tadpole, emerge from your egg dodging notes, collecting bubbles, and smacking bamboo sticks to some catchy tunes only to be caught by a hungry pelican. Out of sheer determination and willpower you somehow ram your way out of the pelican’s mouth and to freedom below. Unfortunately you’ve been dropped onto the top of a mountain. Now you need to go through levels dodging colorful trout, hungry turtles, pixelated ducks, pesky mosquitoes, frightening barracudas, rolling boulders, chilling ice water, obese piranhas, sharp-shooting crawfish, and deadly saltwater.

     Throughout your story you’ll meet some extremely loveable characters. Outside your parents there is Etude the bullfrog, the dusty Beatle and his snail Amigos, your Pelican..., and Sonata the Tadpole. I need to talk about Sonata the tadpole. His level, Midnight Bayou, is a level where he sings a love song to you. Not to mention, he’s voiced by none other than Matthew Taranto. I GET TO BE SERENADED TO BY MATTHEW TARANTO IN TADPOLE FORM. How could that be any better?! You should also listen to Thunder Creek. The tune is incredibly catchy and fun to sing along to. 

     When Baton returns home she sees that some kind of oil has begun to pollute her home. We learn that a plane has crashed into the bay causing an oil spill damaging the wildlife. Baton decides to take charge and do what she can to save her family’s home. The final level is a boss-fight that I honestly cannot agree with. The final fight is with a robot named ELE-94. This fight wants you to first strike each chord enough times to break it. I’ll give this phase a pass even though I wasn’t able to realize what you needed to do at first. The next phase wanted you to hit symbols to bounce up and hit a random hanging egg. Why is the egg there? I don’t know. Why does it hurt ELE? I couldn’t tell you. If it was explained in the story somewhere, I must have missed it. The last phase is obnoxious, but really easy when you know what you’re supposed to do. Its called “Another Refrain” for a reason. ELE will try to burn you with a lighter while she sings on loop. If it's not super obvious to you, you need to smack the lighter back at her. However that does nothing. You need to wait until you see her spark the lighter and then you can hurt damage her. Only after doing so you can save your home for your family.

     Lets jump into the gameplay. You’re a baby tadpole swimming along a music scale in the water dodging music notes, enemies, and hazards. While collecting points for your score, food, and bubbles. Bubbles are your main currency in this game. You collect them to bring to Etude the bullfrog for extra goodies and features. Like a music player and a creature catalog. Etude also mentions that he wishes for you to bring him challenge flies. In order to acquire these rare and endangered flies to feed to an obese frog you must beat each level with a level specific challenge. Such as hit all of the golden objects in barracuda caverns, never leave the deadly water in saltwater cape, or smack every single freakin’ bamboo stick in chip-tune lagoon. I absolutely loath Piranha Jungle. You’re required to not take a single piece of damage to get this fly. I wouldn’t even bother with this level if not for the reward for the flies.

     Once you feed the famished over-sized bullfrog you’re treated with some news. Etude tells you of an area where some animals have gone missing. Being the courageous young tadpole, you leap into action to investigate. Upon your arrival you’re treated to a very large Kraken with a trident who seems to be having a very bad day and wants to make sure you also have a very bad day. And believe you me, he’s going to make sure you have a bad day. That endurance in Piranha Jungle was just training you for this level. You see these steam tags? THEY’RE LIES! This game is a bullet hell. Rhythm game, my ass. You need to dodge music notes, with absolutely zero health pick ups. They’ve brought back the lightning from Thunder Creek. Here’s a small hint to help with the cymbal timing. The ring around the cymbal the distance you have left, so use that to help you hit it. Watch out for the big ol’ tentacles. The hitbox can feel somewhat odd. This level didn’t flow nearly as smoothly as the other levels. I think I would have had more fun doing the Sans fight from Undertale again. But I don’t think Matthew intended this to be a scored level so he left that out. Which I believe would be a fair decision. After all, it seems as if this fight was a bonus Kickstarter goal made by one amazing person who pledged $2,000. Thanks man. Thanks a lot for this hell.

     The last thing I need to discuss is the composition mode; the big feature of the game. It is what was advertised the most. I’m sure everyone is familiar with the old Mario paint style music creator. Well this one is much more detailed, has more instruments, and can make music more properly. I honestly wasn’t interested at the time to make my own songs. I was pretty worn out from the kraken fight. So I went online to try and find some music. While I’m currently playing the Wii U version, and using composition mode is better on the Wii U, I have to say that sharing music is pretty crummy on both versions. The Wii U version wants you either load them from a file source or scan a QR code. Now that's all well and good, but I simply cannot find any quality QR codes online. Through some searching, I managed to find a few on the old Bit-finity forums. Which has since been downed in Russian spam-bots and fitness  advertisements. The steam version isn’t any better. They use the same method only with a webcam to function like the Wii U’s camera. This would work way better if they had steam workshop support. A dev post did say that they would be looking into it last September, but at this rate I highly doubt that will come to be. It's a real shame this mode might be wasted. I’ll try to compose some music and post it here in the coming weeks if I have the time. If you want an example of the the composition mode can do, I’ll leave some links to some YouTube videos posted on the Bit-finity YouTube page.

     So that’s Tadpole Treble. An overall enjoyable game that is so incredibly relaxing (bar the bonus stage) that I had to purchase it on both platforms. It’s very disappointing that the composition mode might go underutilized, but hopefully the Taranto brothers port this game to the switch and give it another chance. Hell, I’d buy a physical release. Regardless, thank you for listening to my Tadpole Treble review, I really love writing these. And Matthew, if you ever need a duet partner. I’m your guy.
