@kobi_lacroix@snouts.online And then the forgotten fifth state.

Misumamii.

@Ratttz Mhmm. The familiarity serves to root it in something people will recognize, render it not totally alien to them - what you do with the rest is all up to you. Perhaps you take a staid progression but substitute a chord with something spicier, perhaps you fuck with the rhythm, perhaps you play a weird scale over it all for flavor's sake, perhaps you just get creative with the melody and improvise a whole bunch - there are *so* many different directions you can take things to keep things interesting without alienating your audience outright.

@Ratttz Oh yeah. As much as I like to dig into esoteric shit it's one of the reasons I do have a soft spot for the usual trappings of pop music - verse/chorus/verse structures, the old I-V-vi-IV progression and its variations, etc etc. Hackneyed as they may be, the magic is in their accessibility and the fact it's incredibly easy to improvise over them and make them your own.

in other news y'all ever wonder what twitter looks like without CSS

so fucking windy out here it sounds like there's a goddamn poltergeist in my apartment

@kd@yiff.life Yeah, /sɔri/ instead of the more usual /sɑri/ or /sɒri/ basically.

@kd@yiff.life I've definitely picked up a lot of Canadian in my accent from voice chatting with Canadians on the daily (to the point of picking up on that specific pronunciation of "sorry", even) but like... I can't say I've ever said "aboot" in my entire life nor heard it said that way by anyone I know, ahaha

never, ever apologize for party rocking

@Kyresti Of course!

... but then, to some people the entire appeal behind options 1 and 2 is *not* being a werewolf oneself, with all the potential danger that comes with that.

@IceWolf *nibble!*

let's join the bandwagon

@IceWolf There is no opposite, I'd say; the basic flavors, if you ask me at least, kind of all act like primary colors in that they just kind of freely combine together without really ever cancelling each other out.

@tom No, like this thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Pinto

They were known for being uh, spicy whenever they got involved in collisions.

@body@mastodon.social My sign is Pinto.

@anthracite tiny friend!
