they probably cant love me back in a human or even mammalian sense, but my goldfish with their smooth pea-sized brain have learned to trust that i will make them better when they are sick. i feel like crying about this often

Maybe Princess the tarantula never had anything resembling what we as humans know as emotions, but she still came out of her burrow and up to the glass when we’d talk to her and used to stare at the drawing I’d tape to her terrarium. Maybe she couldn’t even comprehend what we were, but she knew we were there to take care of her. And even if she never showed that sort of curiosity or trust we’d still love her.

Idk if Munchie the praying mantis felt love for me, but I do know he trusted me enough to climb onto my hand when offered and was comfortable with allowing me to carry him places despite me being absolutely massive in comparison to him. So that's close enough in my book.

Y'all need to stop saying shit like “songs with the same bpm”

Beats per minute is a unit. The word you’re looking for is tempo.

If two songs have the same tempo, their bpm are equivalent.

You wouldn’t say two people of the same height have “the same inches.” You would say height. So stop saying two songs have “the same bpm” when you can just say tempo

I’m an assistant band director don’t argue with me

I have a music degree and taught for over a decade. You can say BPM or tempo it’s basically all the same. Don’t let the classical music snobs get you down

Oh no, I made a post voicing a pet peeve of mine and suddenly I’m a “classical music snob” even though I’ve been playing baroque flute for over a decade professionally…

Yeah I mean… Well there it is

I’m now going to refer to things that are the same height as having the same inches. I like that.

Tempo indications (either in-score or in reference/conversation) are often not as specific as bpm. You can technically say that two songs are the same tempo, for example, Allegretto vivace (fairly brisk and lively), without their bpms matching exactly, or without their having consistent bpms (plenty of songs do speed up and slow down). If you’re specifying bpm, you probably have a reason to; you might be trying to make a mashup, where it’d be inconvenient if not disastrous to combine two songs with equivalent tempi but slightly different bpms.

Analogically, if two people are the “same height”, they might be level to the naked eye or to a relatively well-calibrated measuring instrument, and they can for example both be pallbearers at the same funeral, but you’d probably want to know how many millimeters tall each one was if they were both going to, say, stand on a level surface under the surprise shot of a deadly horizontal laser (and we might try to stand behind the one with the extra 2mm).

I appreciate not only that you explained this in a way that I, a non musical fool, can understand, but also your incredibly gratuitous and yet desperately needed use of deadly horizontal lasers.

I love that the flute snob is like “oh NOW I’m a SNOB” yeah it happens. The flute does it. Sucks the common sense right out of your brain. At least it’s not the piccolo, though.

It is not Mermay anymore, but the moment I saw these mermaid poses, I knew I wanted to paint one of them for exercise :D So last night I finally managed to do that. Colour-wise I wanted to do something inspired by Yuming Li, because their delicate balance of colours is so incredibly fascinating, and I want to understand it.

Justice League identity reveal where they don’t know who Batman is and one day a bunch of them walk in on him just casually eating yogurt in the cafeteria with his cowl off. A bunch of them recognize him, a couple don’t, and they’re all shocked.

Turns out Batman didn’t realize none of them knew who he was, since it had taken him all of ten minutes and three google searches to put everyone’s secret identities together and he just assumed they had all figured it out by this point. Or maybe he had meant to tell them and then just forgotten. Either way, he regularly interacts with half of them outside of hero stuff and hasn’t bothered with the whole separate persona thing with them in years. Shouldn’t they really have figured this out by now? So what if he forgot? This is clearly on them.

In my experience, horror fans are by and large lovely people with a very healthy relationship to their genre of choice, but sometimes they fuck up and say something that in their ears sounds very affirmative of the movie of discussion and to everyone else sounds like the most sinister shit.

I mean the line that I think of first is “A kid dies in this movie.”

Which I suspect to horror fans is shorthand for “The director of this movie subverts horror tropes (wherein kids are usually immune to the monster/slasher/source of terror) to make something that is deliberately shocking. Seeing a child character die in this story is not a happy thing or a good thing, but for a horror story emphasizes that nobody is immune to the source of the terror, which makes the horror more serious and scarier.”

And to everybody else just sounds like “Oh this movie’s great! A kid dies in it!”
