whoa somehow I missed the part where Hellboy II was scored by Danny Elfman

and now listening, it's a very good and admittedly very Danny score

it's a real shame the movie really REALLY makes me irrationally angry every time I try to watch it.

fine, seasonal it is

hee hee hee, CHRISTMASTIME!

somehow I went from The Nutcracker to John Barry soundtracks which in turn gets me to;

WELL I'VE HEARD THAT IT'S GOLD
I'VE HEARD THAT IT'S A FINGER
HEY DON'T SHOOT ME
I'M JUST THE BLOODY SINGER
SOME FOLKS LIKE 'EM BRONZE
OTHERS LIKE 'EM SILVER
BUT THIS MAN LOVES HIS GOLD
IT IS HIS FAVORITE THINGER

oh YEAH it's the part of the Barry soundtrack where the scuba divers attack Fort Knox!

no wait, that's after the astronauts chase him in speedboats in Thailand

after he plays baccarat with the shark

@elecray7k originally "Paardenpis" before the English took over

soon followed by, of course, stomping around on tiptoe, elbows tucked to chest, two fingers out on each hand, during "Glorification of the Chosen One"

what do you mean "that's weird"

BUT SUDDENLY oh no we got ballet sheet music mixed up and inserted parts of Rite of Spring into The Nutcracker OH NOOOOOES

* plays "Mystic Circle of the Young Girls" on celesta *

FINE I'M LISTENING TO THE NUTCRACKER SUITE BEFORE THANKSGIVING BECAUSE IT MAY AS WELL BE DECEMBER ALREADY

man I'm not sure what I wish Bluesky would do more, mute keywords or allow DMs

@fairydoctor420 it gets even better, if you get to The Whisperer in Darkness? The whole thing starts off with dramatic flash floods in Vermont/NH in 1928.

I thought that was an invention until I got this book about 2' gauge slate-hauling railroads in Maine. The thing the railroad never recovered from was there were massive flash floods in 1928 which washed away a lot of their bridges.

current mood; watching a clip of probably a shiba inu floating in space, on repeat, while playing Khachaturian's "Adagio" from "Gayaneh."

My dudes, even if I wanted complete strangers’ fucking political opinions while I’m trying to drink coffee and draw, I wouldn’t want them at that volume.

@topaz of course the cognitive distort really shows up if I counter all that with "maybe *I* want to feel I'm okay, and maybe *I* want to keep going and be happy, as reasons enough."

I am not one of the good furries, good Queers or good artists; I'm not from a good age group or a good minority group. I'm getting too old to have a cool sex life, a cool profession or even go to cool places and, somehow, despite all of this, I'm supposed to find myself worthy and keep pushing on.

Another weird thing to come out of reading this book of humorous essays - there’s a story- is wanting to hang out with actual wolves at some point. Since I really like cats, and cats are essentially adults rather than permanent wolf cubs like dogs, I wonder if I’d like whatever “dog but an adult” is.

Really feeling weepy and wishing I could hug a dog (who would probably enthusiastically try to climb my chest and muzzle fence me) or cat (who would probably be nonplussed). Any decision to delete my Bluesky is still up in the air.

The profound irony of a pro police sign, bemoaning, “what happened to our beautiful Seattle?” alongside Aurora

when I was a kid in semi rural Georgia, because I kinda pass as white and straight, people would say the awfullest, shittiest things in front of me about Blacks, Gays (remember we had no concept you could be Queer in any other way) and only very rarely Jews. I assume a brave kid would get them to shut the hell up by punching them. I was not that brave and kept my head down, but this is an experience I really REALLY hate.

@Yotenotes I think "shift more towards warm colors" would be a brilliant idea!
