We forgot eleven.
Every single odd number has an “e” in it.
We're the Cats! We're the Cats! Yes! We're the Cats!
Okay so I saw atsv recently and while I love reading everyone’s takes on the art styles, I have to bring up the music
I’m a pretty basic music nerd with minimal theory study, but I’ve taken to just playing the soundtrack. (I’m referencing specifically the Metro soundtrack, I prefer songs with lyrics, but I’m positive this will apply to the other soundtrack too, the crew of spider verse are that amazing) And in doing so, I just need to bring up how carefully these songs are constructed??
See, backing track songs need to be subtle. That’s what (in my experience) can make them boring or difficult to compose - how do you make something interesting but able to blend in? But these people, they’ve just - pulled back layers?? And spread them out???? Rarely is there more than about 3 things happening at any one point in the songs, and it means they can pack so much into them. And more than that, it gives them room to give every song a style, a reference and a character to link them to!
Take ‘Hummingbird’, for example: it’s the song that plays when Gwen opens the portal above Miles’ bed. Then compare it to ‘Sunflower’, from the original movie. The artists are completely different, the tone of the movie has changed entirely, but the songs mirror each other!! The way the vocals have a little flick (flick? Reach??) at the end, the bass and trap in the background, heck, even the emotions they convey! Miles, in each instance, is at a turning point, whether he is aware of it or not.
But the composers haven’t just decided to mimic Miles’ song from the original song - they’ve dampened it to fit the tone of the movie. The trap beat and pulses are muted, and the vocals are slightly subdued. And of course, the lyrics are very different. They are both about love, but one is optimistic, and one is resigned. GOD these people!!
And it’s like this with basically every song I’ve come across! While a lot of the characters have less (or nothing) to compare to, the composers have put bits and pieces in to make the characterisations and emotions peak through. Just look at the percussion in ‘Link Up’ (a mixture of the clicking from ‘Self-Love, which kinda was Gwen’s theme in the album, and the percussion from ‘Silk & Cologne’, which I think is supposed to be Miles’ family and their party (?)) which I took as showing Miles’ split between Gwen and the Spiders, and his family.
Just, this soundtrack has som much care and love stuffed into it. I don’t know how much this makes sense (It’s 3 AM), but I didn’t see anyone talking about it and that is a CRIME
Request time.

Hey check this blog out, it's cool
When you’re traveling it is important to ensure you don’t take anything from its original realm and introduce it elsewhere, it could become an invasive species and ruin the lands. Always dust any plant matter from your coat, check your pack for insects. Double check nothing has crawled into your pockets.
If you find you have made such a mistake, regulatory authorities will not be happy.
Luckily, they didn’t notice the platypus, but then again, neither did I until it was too late.

My midnight snack. You'd think I was starving dude.
my dad just told me he was born without a butthole what do i do with this information
the urge to eat chicken nuggets while the world burns
Far stranger than disappearances are the permanent appearances of things that absolutely should not actually be in those places
Like for example.
Hole ass mountains in the African plains appearing overnight.
A city the size of Boston completely unused just being found in the Arabian dessert when it wasn't there the day before.
A guy just turning up and meeting himself same backstory same memories genetically identical and the still living mother of them claiming that she gave birth to a single child.
People who regularly turn up at airports from countries that don't exists complete with souvenirs from the holiday they just returned from which nobody actually sold.
The fact that there are far more Fabergé eggs today than were ever produced in the first place despite the fact that they can all be carbon dated to the exact same point in time.
Commercial aircaft in the USA landing at airports many years before they actually went into production.
Murder victims who's bodies have been genetically tested turning up to confirm that they are not in fact dead.
Sarcophagi of pharaoh who never actually existed, but scientific testing proves the coffin as legit.
Dead languages that were lost to time just being casually spoken by people out of thin air after a person suffers a head injury by people who have no connection to those cultures and it being found to be 100% accurate.
Pirate treasure from pirates that never were stolen from people who never existed and found in places completely inaccessible to mankind since before primates were even a thing.
These things keep happening.
The world is far stranger than you think.
Felt like doing my own take on public domain characters today. Have my own take on Chessie!
All this time I was in the MLP fandom growing up back when Friendship is Magic was still going and I never drew Discord! Well I have finally changed that!
