Since Zekina Had Taken Over Me Now, Might As Well Share What I Thought Fit For Them. I Mean, I Could

Lookie here, more lovely art by @drawthething ! I really love how DT draws Willow based on the last commission with her in it, so I asked for more. :3 I'm responsible for all the dialogue. It's just so much fun making dialogue for these two. I don't know if any of this dialogue would be canon if I ever end up making a fanfic with them involved, but they were fun regardless. Even though WIllow will never be canon in Bob's Burgers, she's canon in heart! Just as long they never show Tina and Katie's art teacher, she's canon to me. XD If that happens, I don't know maybe I'll rework her as an oc for an original series. I really do love this character design concept. Anyway, enough rambling. Thank you so much DT and I hope you all enjoy the cuteness! X3

Classical Pieces You've Probably Heard but Might Not Remember the Name

William Tell Overture- Rossini (Most famous part at 8:45, but why not listen to the whole thing?) I’m adding hints, at least to the ones I recognized culturally. This one is “go, horsey, go!”

Also Sprach Zarathustra- Strauss Slow, dramatic entry scene, IN SPAAACE.

Eine Kleine Nachtmusik- Mozart People running out of a fancy wedding or something. Also known as DUN, dun DUN, dun DUN dun DUN dun DUUUUN.

Symphony 94, Mvt. 2 “Surprise Symphony”- Haydn ?

Toccata and Fugue in d Minor-Bach Halloween organ!

Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2- Chopin Picture a tiny old woman playing piano in a sunlit room with lots of flower vases, about the spill the tragic secrets of her past to some timid young visitor.

Rondo alla Turca- Mozart the babysitter from The Incredibles: “Time for some COGNITIVE ENRICHMENT!”

Sinfonie de Fanfares: Rondeau- Jean-Joseph Mouret Royalty is coming. Or someone is getting married. Or royalty is getting married. Also the PBS Masterpieces theme.

The Four Seasons: Spring- Vivaldi (I just linked to the whole thing because it’s great) Again, someone is getting married, but this one is strings instead and a lot less frumpy.

Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring- Bach That one that amateur guitarists love where the notes are all up and down but all the same length. Also used in movie weddings.

O Fortuna (from Carmina Burana)- Carl Orff SONG OF DOOM. Also song of “baby on fire!” in The Incredibles.

Funeral March- Chopin ?

Orpheus in the Underworld: Infernal Galop (A.K.A. Can Can)- Offenbach Well, “aka can-can” says it all.

Pomp and Circumstance (You probably graduated to this)- Elgar Oh yes, Baaaa dun dun dun duun duuuuun… Also if you were a bandie you had to play it for 3 years before graduating to it.

Gayane: Sabre Dance- Aram Khachaturian Comically hectic productivity, a circus clown juggling while standing on a ball, or perhaps a rapidly-approaching termite infestation. Could go any way, really.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream: Wedding March- Mendelssohn The song movies play right AFTER they both say “I do.”

Carmen: Les Toreadors- Bizet I can’t be the only one who remembers when ‘Hey Arnold’ did this. “Bullfights and swordfights, rolling in manuuure!”

The Ride of the Valkyries- Wagner Good song for a naval battle I guess? I can only think of the mini golf course I went to as a kid with the creepy castle on Hole 18 that played this.

Für Elise- Beethoven That one every amateur piano player loves to play because the beginning is just E and E-flat over and over. Also ballet and piano recital scenes in movies.

Dance of the Hours- Ponchielli Hello mudda, hello fadda, here I am at, Camp Granada…

Rigotello: La Donna e Mobile- Verdi More than a few sophisticated movie villains (or snobby good guys) have this playing on a Victrola. Also, tell me you don’t picture Pavaroti no matter who’s actually singing.

Night on Bald Mountain- Mussorgsky ?

Romeo and Juliet: Love Theme- Tchaikovsky More movie-love, usually building up to admitting they live each other.

Entry of the Gladiators- Julius Fucik I have one word for you: CIRCUS.

Lakmé: Flower Duet- Delibes OMG ALIAS. Nadia’s spy  backstory in Film Noir!

Peer Gynt: In the Hall of the Mountain King- Greig Mischievous Tiptoeing in Movies song. Also something growing out of control, slowly at first and then quickly, and (comically) exploding.

Rodeo: Hoedown- Copland The title says it all tbh.

Peer Gynt: Morning Mood- Greig Sunrise/waking up Movie Song du jour.

New World Symphony Mov. [2][4]- Dvorak Well now I’m thinking of “An American Tail” and I’m crying…

Ave Maria (You knew this, but did you know that it was by Schubert?) Nothing to add. I’m not a music snob, really, but if you didn’t know this, YOU SHOULD.

Canon in D- Pachelbel This is the one that the pretty Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas song comes from. :-)

Add others if you want! Have fun!

Want to know how corrupt the pharmaceutical industry is?

See this?

This is called Afrezza. It’s an inhaler for diabetic insulin. That’s right. An inhaler. That means no more needles. It’s only for fast acting insulin, but it could still vastly improve the life of a lot of diabetics. 

Imagine having to constantly prick yourself with needles to keep yourself alive, and then suddenly there’s a new product that could change the whole way you live your life for the better.

And here’s the thing: it works. It works really really well. People with diabetes that have been lucky enough to have used it think it’s amazing.

But sadly, it’s probably going to end up as a failure because the pharmaceutical company (a French company called Sanofi) that was in charge of marketing it didn’t care enough to actually try. Not only that, but they made it incredibly expensive so hardly anyone could afford it. Most people have never heard of it, and the way things are going, no one else ever will.

Please reblog this to raise awareness of this product and hopefully get another company to market it. It could change so many lives.

Sneak Peek Sunday: she really is a funny girl

[I know I missed the last two weeks, sorry! Life be happening.]

I’m trying a thing this month where I plan to share a little bit of a fic I’m working on every Sunday, and we’re swerving back to Bob’s Burgers this week! @qilin-crusader sent a prompt for a Tina/Zeke Beauty and the Beast AU to @tacosandtouchtanks (found here) and expressed interest when I said I had an idea for how I wanted to parody the opening song from the Disney movie. (This is part of the opening scene, so there’s no Tina/Zeke yet, just setup.)

Word count is roughtly 1500, Tina’s POV, set the summer after The Bob’s Burgers Movie, no major warnings

“It’s just until Linda gets back,” Bob explains. “She’s in Florida helping her parents with something, so I’m manning the counter… and the grill … and bussing the tables when I can, but… it’s fine. Here. It’s – we’ve got it… fine.”

“Hmm,” says Mr. Fischoeder. “Have you considered child labor in the meantime?”

Tina leans over so she can see out the cook’s window. She waves her spatula at the two men. “Hi.”

“She’s fourteen,” Dad tells Mr. Fischoeder. “It’s not that illegal.”

“I’m not here to judge, Bob,” says Mr. Fischoeder.

“Really?” says Dad. “Because it kind of seemed like you were a minute ago.”

Seems simple enough. Just label this one under Becca or Qilin-Crusader I suppose.

Looky! I made a DND oc and she's adorable! Now time for the lore behind her for those who care to read it. lol When I first though her up my main goal was to create a character that combines my three favorite aesthetics: Stars, flowers (specifically blossoming trees), and twilight/dawn colors. My other goal was to also give her a classes that I would choose if I were teleported into the DND world. What can I say, the bard and druid has always appealed to me on an aesthetic level, even if their multi-class is not the most powerful. I'm more into creating unique characters than actually making them good to play in DND. XD I also gave her the background of anthropologist because I want her job to be something that would fit the part of my personality that cares way too much about symbolism. Essentially I wanted her to have a job that pays her to talk about symbolism. XD It was either that or creative writing professor or art historian. XD I thought anthropologist would make more sense for her to be on adventures than the other 2 options. Besides why would I have her career be an artist when she can be an artist and also have an altruistic career I would never do irl? lol Lastly, I'll explain the aurora star elf part of her mixed race heritage. Essentially, I deemed the aurora star elf as a combination sun, moon, and star elf to create a type of elf that's specifically associated with the evening star. As said in the profile, the aurora star elf has the same stats as a high elf. I just thought such an elf with that specific mixed race heritage would look cool and than I mess up the coolness factor for Astraea by also making her part forest gnome. What can I say, I like my eccentric looking relationships. a hot person getting together with another hot person is boring to me. I need at least one of them not conventionally attractive. XD Anyway, that's about all I wanted to say I think. Hope you like her and thank you for making it this far. lol

Here's the links to the images I used for the profile so I can properly credit the royalty free images.

was hoping to add more characters before posting this wallpaper, but I wanted to make it on time when it came to submitting fanart to the Hey Arnold 25th Anniversary Podcast hosted by the Old School Lane YouTube channel. Go to their channel to see what they are doing soon. Oh well, maybe next time when I comes to the characters. Here's to 25 years of Hey Arnold! (Credit to MELONOLSON for the head inspiration) P.S. I added my HA OC in the wallpaper because it's my fanart and I can do whatever I want with it! LOL XD Plus, I needed to make it symmetrical and she was the only one I had left that made sense. I'll remove her whenever I get around to updating the wallpaper and add more characters.

Meet Rizza, My Original Character/Persona

I made this cutie because I was tired of never having a character to use that wasn't a fan character for my avatars or banners. So that's where Rizza comes in. She's a grizzly/American black bear hybrid, though I leaned the art style to be more teddy bear shaped because it fits with the themes I tend to go for (dreams and stars for example). I'm just so happy to finally have a character to call fully my own that's not associated with anything else but me. I know I could have easily just drawn myself to use as an avatar. That's boring though and I wanted something cuter if I ever needed a mascot for a brand. Anyway, that's pretty much it, this is my persona/mascot and I hope you like her. :3

I decided to change my qilin-crusader username to my Instagram username. It was rare for people to pronounce the first part of it correctly so I ended up hating the name. Not much of an update, but having an easy-to-pronounce name is just nice.

Can I ask myself a question?

Yes, I can apparently!
