a mutual on mastodon challenged me to sing Candy Candido's version of One Meatball (www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaXk...) Here it is, transposed up 5 semitones, but otherwise exactly as Candido performed it

i post lots of videos of myself singing opera badly on tiktok. this one earned me a derisive comment from kallen esperian, one of the greatest operatic sopranos of all time. far from being discouraged im incredibly tickled that my bad singing is good enough to earn her sneer

opera

i made an English language adaptation of this duet from the obscure opera Ricciardo e Zoraide by Rossini. You can't tell me fans of musicals wouldn't love opera like this if it was in English and wasn't treated like some super highbrow activity

ok ill explain one nobody's ever gonna get. so the occultist... occult and occlude use the same latin root which means hidden, u follow me? and cull can mean to kill in a sorta sinister way or to not draw to save GPU frame time. Ha ha! It Is Funny Because It Is A Graphics Programming Reference

i came up with like 50 darkest dungeon ii party names and its been fun to check the wikis every now and then to see if people have figured out what any mean. ofc I must allow the fans to figure them out for themselves

its a reference to the destruction of sennacherib by lord byron u nerds

acting, particularly voice acting, is so wildly precarious, they have to exist publicly, but reputation matters so much everyone basically is pointing a gun at each other's heads at all times. When an actor forgets non-actors are not so beholden, hilarity ensues

i recorded this last summer but i think its neat so im gonna make you look at it anyway

in dogpit discord people who know how to music were explaining this feels weirdly modern because the mode it uses for the good guy characters near the end was traditionally only used for sinister stuff; only in modern times has it seen regular use in other situations (like the simpsons theme lol)

every modern comedy with a "totally innocent situation that looks sexually incriminating when the worst person walks in at the worst time" scene owes a debt to The Marriage of Figaro (1786)

also im p sure ive heard this jaunty little tune repurposed as happy background music more than once
