Saul (Glyndebourne, 2015): Reactions, Part I

everyone keeps talking about how awesome this production apparently was and i still have never seen it (or the oratorio in general) so here we go i guess

no pic but: that overture was baller (especially the organ solo moments)

okay this is kind of a vibe tbh

oh that was much smaller than i thought it would be

oh dear

creepy figure twelve o’clock

COOL

also this SLAPS

that must be a very big table

also: COLORS

oh so that is just a head

preminger (barbie as princess and the pauper, 2004), c. 1738

actual footage of my 7th grade life science class after dissecting frogs

iestyn (my beloved) what are you doing

preminger has anger issues

tfw you suddenly get a rabid new fanbase

dance party!!!

yeah i mean this hardcore slaps

she does not look very enthusiastic lol

girl in blue has a lovely voice and is giving manic pixie dream girl

“yes i wanna clean his chest :)”

hmm

girl in yellow is not very enthusiastic at the prospect of marrying david 

“but i wanted to marry him why are you marrying him off to my sister who doesn’t even want him”

david and jonathan 😉

preminger thinks it’s sus

also: preminger is apparently saul but i do not care and i will be calling him preminger until i get tired of it or until he no longer looks like preminger, whichever comes first

iestyn is slaying

everyone stop mistreating yellow girl challenge

“great i have to be the emotional support for everyone around here”

classism

“it’s okay i still wuv you”

i support female rage

damage control

aww

i mean those sound kinda marriage-esque 👀

of COURSE she’s an oldest daughter she has oldest daughter energy

okay but vocally she slays

“i mean, i am also an option”

child abuse

“idk man i just yeeted a stone at a really tall dude and now i’m here watching family feuds play out in real time”

where did y’all come from

“too much drama fam”

michal is vibing

kickline time also this slaps

“but I want all the rabid fangirls uwu”

preminger rage time again 

“y’all done fucked up”

this is handel that should not be a problem

preminger is not in his right mind

this guy is supposed to be a high priest apparently but better yet, he’s giving off ✨vibes✨

sir if you look down you will see that preminger is having a seizure, which is a bigger problem than you having a Moment TM

slap

this is pretty

pure caring 🥺 (also this harp solo is GORG)

well that didn’t work

spittake gone wrong

fun activities: slamming rocks on tables

DUDE NO DON’T ASK HIM TO KILL HIS BOYFRIEND

“dad no it is time for MY aria listen to MY aria”

i believe that is called bipolar disorder

that is your DAUGHTER get your MOUTH off of her

“surprise! these are my backup dancers 😊”

“idk man there’s not an instruction manual for this”

schiller and verdi taking notes for rodrigo, marquis di posa, like ⬆️

This is the funniest goddamn thing, I’ve been losing my mind about it all morning. Vash is such a disaster bi in every single version of Trigun, It brings tears to my eyes

If anyone has a translation of this interview, pls share, I would kill a man for it

#Trigun #Trimax #Trigun Maximum #I'm SOBBING #I think the info in the article is JUST that he avoids falling in love #But like #Vash: Ok yeah I'm safe I'll just never get close to anyone #Vash: Ok well I guess I'll travel with him I don't like men like that anyway EVEN THOUH I'VE NEVER SETTLED DOWN ENOUGH TO KNOW #Vash: God I want to spend every day of the rest of my life with this man #Vash: FUCK #Link to the tweet in the comments as always aksjdnaksjndkn

[pocketramblr]

And was that a very long list?

#were there actually a ton of kids hanging out with the deadly rebellion that we just never see on screen? #'every woman he'd been close to' so. he didn't have a gf/fiance/wife. and instead of making any assumptions about him not being into women. #you assumed you had to kill any girl who was unfortunate enough that he knew her name? #hm. #well. #alright i guess #bnha manga spoilers

oughh i wanted to do a cute laishuro take on the blu ray extras (what if laios had been eaten instead) but lets be honest. they absolutely would not have made it as far without laios

#they wouldve died. badly. #unfortunately ive lost the link saw it on twitter but i think laios gets knocked unconscious and imagines that it had been him that got ate #and not falin. and falin is the only one to advocate for them going back #but no one wants to go along with her presumably because they dont care for laios that much #(or at least this is laios' perception as this is just his imagination) #but also because she doesnt know as much about monsters and couldnt come up with a good argument for going back in #<- didnt know about prolonged digestion in red dragons and marcille assumed the interval was the same as in humans (1-3 days) #BUT...................... when everyone leaves falin turns back and goes in herself. and laios realises that shes always been that sort #of person and theres no point in ruminating over what could have been. #now. i want to believe that had they known falin would turn back without them. that at the very least shuro would have gone in with her. #theres no way he would have let her go on her own. and frankly i dont think he would have assembled his retainers #to go save laios rip... #marcille would have gone if she had known falin would turn back. and honestly i think she mightve known her well enough to guess this irl #anyways what i was GOING to say was maybe as they venture thru the dungeon shuro gets to learn more about laios thru falins view #maybe they get to know each other more and he opens up more about how he thinks of laios and like. falin is able to explain more about him #diffuse tension and give him a better understanding. like yeah hes still annoyed at him but he has a better view of how laios is #they get close and become better friends but maybe it also helps falin make up her mind and let him down gently............................ #and maybe they go and save laios but the dragon thing still happens to him #and its again a 'you felt like that all along??' situation irt him wanting to be a monster but it turns out ok and they (laishuro) #open up to one another in the end......................... #but. again im gonna be real. they would not have made it that far LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO laios the goat for real

Happy April 1st! In a few timezones still.

One of my more ambitious projects is mixing the old FUNimation English dub of Detective Conan/Case Closed with the remastered and HD footage available on Blu-ray in Germany. I haven't actually completed very many episodes, but I wanted to mix Episode 76 for today! The dub script here is pretty fun.

#detective conan #case closed #dcmk #kid the phantom thief #kaitou kid #conan edogawa #ginzo nakamori #video #funimation english dub script #i do have to say though... as much as i *adore* that jerry jewell (shinichi) voices conan's thoughts #and am beyond sad that the bang zoom!/tubi english dubs don't do that anymore #it can be a little confusing when conan is interacting with kid lol #anyway not quite done with this yet but done enough to post this! #apparently my funimation dvd volume (5.4 'the phantom thief kid') doesn't have the next-episode preview on it??? #and i use the volumes for editing because. well my seasonal sets are bootlegs first of all ^^; #but also the volumes have english dub subtitles and english surround sound audio (which the seasonal sets do not) #but blgh will check my bootleg season set to see if it has the next-episode preview for mixing i guess...

rohan campbell as corey cunningham [X]

#corey cunningham #rohan campbell #when i tell you this clip makes me silly stupid i mean it #theres something about him that's just so *ahhhhhhh* #he's so well built. like broad shoulders and broad hips. the hint of a tummy. his fucking pecs ?!?! #i know this is technically rohan because it's behind the scenes #but this is pre accident corey to me. the pouty lip. the breath in when he closes his eyes. ugh. #the reserved emotion of it while still showing enough on his face for it to feel intrusive to look at him #literally moments before disaster. corey who goes home every day to joan but still has hope. had hope. #plus. every day i mourn not being able to find that tshirt anywhere #i *think* the track jacket might be vintage irl ?? based on what they say in the ends commentary #but the t shirt !! man idk it feels like i should be able to buy it off a rack in a supermarket (which i guess is the whole point)

kinda frustrating how we've spent the last few months acknowledging how a lot of well intentioned but guilt trippy social justice posts are like specifically designed to worm into ocd ppls brains and then now every single post abt palestine is "i dont care how bad your mental health is, i dont care how bad looking at all this makes you feel, if you don't read every single post you see on this topic in full you are a horrible person and directly contributing to their deaths. 'waaaah my mental health' well at least youre not being bombed, did you think about that??" and its like. i absolutely get where youre coming from but you dont get to complain that guilt tripping is bad then turn around and use it anyways because you think the cause youre using it for is worthwhile. like. everyone thinks the cause theyre using it for is worthwhile, thats why theyre using it. but its still a shit way to do it

#like when you make a tumblr post to your tumblr blog youre not guilt tripping people who disagree with you #youre guilt tripping your followers who if theyre still following you probably already agree with what youre saying #and esp on a topic with so much brutality involved like. yeah OBVIOUSLY theres people who have to look away #like. yall know a bunch of these posts and articles and videos show graphic injuries in them right? #like i physically cant watch news videos abt this bc i will spend days with my brain making me imagine #peoples deaths in graphic detail specifically because it knows that will upset me. and i would prefer not to do that #in fact me doing that helps palestinians exactly as much as finishing my brussel sprouts helps starving kids #by which i mean none. its just a cheap guilt trip to get you to do something you don't want to #which when it's brussel sprouts thats whatever but when its 'deliberately expose yourself to extremely triggering #things otherwise youre a bad person'. not so much #idk i feel like maybe its due to ppl feeling. agitated abt not being able to do anything abt it #like the government isnt listening and we're a world away so physically /all/ we can do really is sit and watch #so i can understand a) wanting to find someone to lash out at to alleviate that feeling #like if you cant stop the actual problem at the very least you can shout down the people supporting it right? #and b) seeing 'not watching' or even just 'not watching as closely as i am' as a transgression #bc well its all we can do so if youre not even doing that you must be bad #and its like. i really do get it. but the whole world is watching right now‚ like this is THE big news thing happening rn #so a few people choosing to avoid to subject will not make a single iota of difference #idk. i guess what im saying is if youre feeling the urge to yell at someone for not looking close enough #just donate some money to a support fund instead itll do a lot more

[kitamars]

hmmmm…sounds like…..buny 🐰

#can you guys tell who one of my favourite characters is #you don’t get any points if you guess #world cold and hard………bunny soft and warm #do you ever just cry #he’s just so mipy guys #yeah he can crush a man with his thighs but if you stand close enough to him you can hear the dial up tone from his brain #what a guy #literally just a guy #i adore him 😭 #also i love drawing his hair now i feel like i’ve been bamboozled #oh well #barnaby brooks jr #taibani #tiger & bunny #tiger and bunny #t&b #tnb #ok bye

Happy new year! Today is Shizu's 14th anniversary as an UTAU, so to celebrate, here's some new art.

#sod's art #utau #sogone shizu #original character #shizu sogone #I still can't draw long hair very well lol #but it's been a solid like....6-7 years since the last official art so she was due for an upgrade #what i'm uploading here is a relatively small size #i'll include the full size versions on soaringutau.wordpress.com eventually #the coat closed is still a very in-use design but i wanted to try drawing it open too #also here's a new design with pants 'cause she was due for that too #i'm scheduling this from right before US thanksgiving so i guess if I can fix the hair i'll just replace it stealthily haha... #anyway this is a bit of an 'oh well close enough' situation 'cause i'm not quiiiite happy with the pose #but poses tend to be my struggle anyway...

[theheightofdishonor]

it's partially the wbl vibes? Like, i truly adore a ship where one person thinks it's an enemies to lovers arc while the other's been pining for years

#my school president #tinngun #it's so cute im already in love #am i revealing myself as a total sucker for a favourite trope? yeah #we best love #even bad buddy kinda fits this #steo #well the steo thats in my head at least #oh until my feet bleed and my heart aches ofc #special a #nothing else is coming to me off the top of my head #i wouldn't classify tine and sarawat as enemies per say #but they're close enough so 2gether i guess

every eye exam ive ever been to has been the most embarrassing moment of my life. i have this thing where i believe everything im doing is wrong the moment i walk in despite going to eye appointments consistently since 8 years old. what do you mean you changed the slide to just one letter whose gargantuan width fills the whole screen after i hesitantly read a single letter from a list of three huge letters on the screen. <- he means i can’t see. (i still couldn’t read the gargantuan letter)

#peach stuff #went to an eye appointment this year and it went fine except i feel like they fucked my shit because ive been feeling blind ever since #just like. worksheets and computer screens seeming blurry when i should be close enough to read it. street signs when im driving. that sort #and here i go in and they’re like well your prescription is the same. huh⁉️ #but my doctor was like maybe they just didn’t add your astigmatism modifier to your contact lense #(<- making me sound like a cyborg which is kind of cool i guess) #and he was like ‘i bet mine is right though’ with this smug little look like okay middle aged white man! give me sass. serve #anyway i meant to go in and get new frames too but i forgot that i needed to say that so. no new glasses #but new contacts! which should be fine because that’s really what i need to see anyway

A sizeable chunk of the fanbase (especially those who read the webtoon) seeing Collei in 3.0: aw thank goodness she’s doing well and even has two dads who are in love :)

Hoyoverse half a year later, writing Cyno and Tighnari into an event that in-game half of Mondstadt considers a lovers’ festival: shit shit shit shit shit we have to no-homo this

#edit: STOP LIKING THIS POST. LET IT DIE. #edit cont: tumblr will hide my creative posts from the tags but the comment I don’t want to spread gets in immediately. typical :/ #???????????? #not sure whether to take this at face value #bc there is a very long history of writers pausing mid-story to be like ‘uhh forget all the chemistry we’ve written up to now. obviously #these characters are close because they’re like ~brothers~ or ~sisters~’ and then go back to exactly what they were doing before #and never mentioning that again #so I’m reserving judgement until I see how things play out in more events #hyv has written characters who are siblings or who consider each other siblings or family before and they’ve been pretty clear about them #from the beginning. kaeya’s character stories explain that he and diluc are adopted siblings and shenhe’s demo before she was even released #says ‘surprise! she’s related to chongyun!’ #this tidbit feels way late and honestly reads to me like a retroactive censor dodge. anyway #I played act 1 and was like ‘oh hee hee cynonari and their daughter collei :)’ and then act 2 came along #and re: windblume like. the lore says some celebrate it as a festival of gratitude #and windblume 1 showed it could be a festival for family as well (barbara kaeya and diluc in the montage cutscene) #so I would assume there’d be enough ambiguity for them like with jeanlisa in windblume 1 #but I guess not?? #pika’s ramblings #genshin #genshin impact

in a constant fight between "yes it's sad to say you will romanticize, all the things you've known before, it was not not not so great" and "call me sentimental, but I want to go back, and commemorate the place with a historical plaque"

#tmbg #I guess in a way both ''puppet head'' and ''canajoharie'' are about viewing negative experiences in hindsight #but ''puppet head'' is being close enough to still approach the memories without rose-tinted glasses and be glad you're beyond them #because there's only better things ahead. but also savvy enough to know that nostalgia catches up with everyone and to try and avoid it #''canajoharie'' may be about a possibly misplaced fondness for a terrible time that strikes an emotional chord of longing with you #perhaps because the experience is mixed up in positive memories and still shaped who you are today #that's what I get out of ''where a rocket ship experiment went awry. when the prototype exploded on the launching site'' anyway #to me it sounds like a metaphor about a formative/coming-of-age moment that didn't pan out as well as the narrator hoped #but it's part of their life regardless

"As frontman, Iero screams and wails with little regard for his vocal cords, he’s clad in a leather jacket and red guitar strap that makes him look like a younger, more-volatile version of Billie Joe Armstrong."

Coming off like a true neo-punk epic; think Bruce Springsteen playing Glory Days while getting mugged by Black Flag.
