I saw you answered my ask, and I totally will reblog it (planning a little something), but I just want to ask, I’ve been listening to the Creaks OST, and I love it! Do you have any more video game OST recommendations?

RARRRGHHGGHHG IM SO HAPPY TO HEAR YOURE LOVIN THE CREAKS OST!!!!! Seriously I think it's one of my top favorite OSTs to listen to whenever I need some music while I draw/write, or if I need inspiration for a very specific tone. It's just oogoughughugh soooo phenomenal. As for other recommendations!! I'll suggest some that immediately popped into my head when I first read this question! Night In The Woods - This game has a wonderful soundtrack, it's also another game where I'll put on the complete OST as background sound. But my two favorite songs out of them all have to be: Astral Alley & Astral Coal , specifically these two versions [which I've provided through the links!] where the creator mixed and matched different instrument tracks to see how they'd sound & what emotions they'd evoke. Honestly I think they accomplished their mission perfectly, I swear this is the only version of these songs I listen to and there's certain segments throughout them that just go insanely hard.

Super Paper Mario - Another fantastic game with an equally fantastic soundtrack. Honestly I need to give it another listen cause it's been a little while, but some of my favorites that came into my mind instantly were: The Ultimate Show, The Woah Zone [especially 1:30 and beyond, something about that repetitive 'falling' sound is just so perfect to me], and Memory [a very very beautiful mashup of multiple songs throughout the game]. THIS VERY SPECIFIC SONIC SONG --> Solaris Phase 2 ITS LITERALLY SO PERFECT FOR IMAGINING AN INTENSE FAST FIGHT SCENE BETWEEN TWO OR MORE CHARACTERSSSS RAAARRGHHGH NIGHTS JOURNEY OF DREAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!! PROBABLY ONE OF MY OTHER FAVORITE OST TO LISTEN TOOOOOOOOOO ESPECIALLY THE BOSS MUSIC Some of my personal favorites: Drifting Donbalon [something about those voices that come n go throughout this song is just sooooooo fantastic], Queen Bella's Ball [SUCH A BANGER SUCH A BANGER I could listen to this one for eons], and NiGHTS and Reala [Specifically from 1:25 to the very end, it brings such an ecstatic and freeing feeling it's just rhaogughurhgsdjgjfddg melts its so awesome]

Definitely recommend giving any of these bad boys a listen! Thanks so much for askin!!!

#ask! #THANK YOU FOR ASKIN I have so many other individual songs i listen to from different games #like cuphead's floral fury and carnival kerfuffle #deemo's entrance and rainy memory #another sonic song: Lights Camera Action & Chemical Plant Zone #im always down for some recommendations too!!! #i also wanna listen to more osts by Amanita Design [creators of Creaks] in the near future #i HAVE played Happy Game and there were 1 or 2 creepy songs that have stuck with me #[that unnerving monkey fire/match segment specifically] #but i think that game was much more focused on unsettling imagery? there was a lack of music in a good chunk of segments which helped creat #a real uncomfortable atmosphere. i think the most recurring song was this 'heavenly' one that played whenever a level was completed #or when the boy woke up from his nightmares #EHRMRMRMMM ANYWAYS HOPED U LIKE MY 'HAPPY GAME' ESSAY IN THE TAGS :^) #also omg planning something????? #the tension... the suspense........ what could it be............. #i will have to wait oh so patiently

[le-velo-pour-dru]

How blatant with my crushposting are you guys okay with me getting, would you mind if I jokingly ended a sentence with "and I am kissing him on the mouth about it"-

#dru speaks #there's a quality of one of my crushes that i just really admire from a musical standpoint #but it's also kind of attractive to me #and i was thinking of bringing that up but i didn't want to be too... creepy #like i know i have an extremely parasocial relationship with him #and i just don't want to cross a boundary or go too far with it‚ cause he has a life and a family and everything #so just let me know if saying stuff like that would be too uncomfortable :]

[musical-chick-13]

UGH Why do so many songs I want to sing require a huge amount of charisma to pull off.

#creepy? good. pathetic? good. awkward? good. murder? excellent. #confidence? magnetism? FUCK no. #I promised I'd sing a Gay Song if the anime lesbians won and it's looking like they actually might #and everything I can find that's in my vocal range (i.e. NOT TOO LOW) is a duet or is about 'women love me I'm an icon' #slash 'I'll steal your girl' which TO BE CLEAR I am in favor of these songs existing I think we need even more of them actually #but there is no way in HELL I could ever make something like that work it would be THEEEEE biggest joke in the universe #so there's nothing for me to comfortably sing ;-; #unless you count 'lacy' as a gay song which I go back and forth on #I GUESS I could do rem's sacrifice song in the musical but that song is HARD I do not think ANYBODY wants to hear me sing that lmao #I USED to be able to fully belt 'you oughta know' (of which there IS a gay Broadway Version) and that was my one (1) pop/karaoke song. #but I can't do that anymore. #I might be able to build it back up again but that would take. a while. it's not something I could toss out within the week of the poll #ending (if they win) #ugh why did I stop singing every day I don't know how to do anything anymore a;lsfkja;slfjadslfk #unhinged lady screams about music

i played dear esther and i loved it but i didn't understand like anything

#i'm gonna play it again with the commentary enabled maybe that'll help #the music was so creepy at times #i had to pause it cause it was creeping me out too much #if anyone knows a good video explaining it/a video essay feel free to let me know #i tried to look for one but couldn't find one

To me personally, the absolute worst scene in CATS 2019 is the one where Growltiger shows up and sings “Growltiger’s Last Stand.” Growltiger appears in the movie because he’s relavent to the weird bad plot that they made up to “streamline” the movie more, and he sings some of the song to introduce himself.

The issue is that “Growltiger’s Last Stand” is actually supposed to be a play within the musical. It’s ten minutes long, feels a lot like three or four different songs mashed together, and tells a story completely different from the plot points they added. The first part of it this bombastic opening that introduces who Growltiger is, the second part of it is a love song, and the last part… gets really racist (which is why Growltiger is cut out of most versions of the show nowadays). So, they had to figure out how to cut down the song in the movie, so they could avoid the parts that relate to plot points they didn’t have (and so they could avoid the parts that were racist).

So, you’d think they’d rewrite the music so it would have a natural sounding end point after the part they needed, right? No.

Instead, the way I remember this scene playing out is that Growltiger starts singing his song, and it sounds. Really bad. Like, all the music in this movie sounds bad, but this time it’s on purpose. And he sings up to the part the movie needs, before one of the other cats cuts him off to make a joke about how bad his singing sounds. And that’s how they solved the problem.

To me, this is the worst scene because it destroys any suspension of disbelief. Like, ignoring that the opening first minute of Growltiger’s song is actually a very good sounding piece of music, and intentionally butchering it in a movie that’s supposed to be about how good the music is… is a choice. In musicals, the question of wether the music is real or not (like, are the characters actually singing, or is it just a device for conveying the story that isn’t “really happening”) is very important. And usually, the music isn’t “really” happening. But, with this song, the singing is being acknowledged as real, because the other characters can hear it and comment on it. So, are the other songs real as well? Why is this song bad, while all the others were good (or, they were supposed to be good)? Are all the songs really happening, but all the other cats are (supposed to be) good singers while Growltiger isn’t? Or is just this song real, which is why the cats can make fun of it? What?

It makes you question the music, and music is the defining trait of a musical so that’s already pretty bad. But this musical is CATS, which is about cats that stand and move like people singing in competition for which one of them gets to be reborn in a magic ceremony. So questioning if the music is real also makes you question if anything else is real. Are these supposed to be actual cats represented as horrible uncanny valley hair human things, or are these literally what cats are in this world? Is the contest real? What is any of this? Why is any of this?

It doesn’t help that the movie does so much to just scrub away any shred of the dreamlike tone the the original musical has. In the original musical the answer to the question of “how much of this is real” is “probably none of it,” but in the movie everything suggests that the answer is “all of it.”

#Cats the musical #Ava has thoughts #It probably would have been really hard to make a CATS movie that managed to maintain that suspension of disbelief #And kept it from feeling way too real and very creepy #But I think it could have been possible #Especially if it was animated instead of live action #But every choice they made was so awful #We could have had a good CATS movie #but unfortunately it would have needed to be made by someone who understood CATS and who understood musicals in general #Alas
