“Wow! That’s amazing! That opens up so many possibilities!”
I thought when I first glanced at a file. Then I tried to learn a song from the notation and… It’s just wrong.
Everything from single instruments with un-notated, elongated measures (meaning the other instruments would go out of sync unless every single measure following was rewrote), to ridiculous tempos with doubled up notes to create an effect that only works in midi format, to notes that are just plan wrong.
You see this?
That’s not the right note! It’s not an E! It’s an F sharp! It sounds like an F sharp when you play the file, but it’s wrote as an E in the program!
I tried a couple of different midis to see if it was a fluke but they’re all like that. Basically, it’s a nice thought, but in practice it’s just a hot mess.
In all seriousness though, because I didn’t know about it! There’s some gems here that take a track and give it a unique style without overpowering it.
Not sure how this relates to sheet music, but thanks for letting me know about the site!

1) Does it trap me in Ponyville too? I’ve never read the fanfic (because that’d be weird) so I only knew about the part where everypony forgets about me.
I do own a black hoodie though! Very comfortable! Great for travel!
2) Bon-Bon: Is the first book much different than the movie? I didn’t even know it was based on a book series until Lyra looked it up.

Happy Anniversary, you outlived both of my past lives. Glad ur still havin fun tho! ;p
I know you’re not dead, Bbz. And I saw Fluttershy like 4 hours ago when half the town gathered to prank the bejesus out of Rainbow Dash (incidentally, while disguised as zombies).
You still owe me like 10 bits! I haven’t forgotten!

Hello, and congratulations for being on Tumblr for five years and still going strong. I loved your blog ever since I found it so this is why I feel like I should give you this as a token of my appreciation, thanks for everything and keep on blogging.
Also if you ever want to request me to do something either with my normal artwork or with flash puppets then please do not hesitate, thanks and hope you have an enjoyable party!
Lyra: Hey thanks! I don’t know about going strong, but I’m not done here yet!
Tootsie: Can I dye my hooves like that?!
Bon-Bon: No.

Lyra: Look, all I’m trying to say is that Hamtaro was the best cartoon ever made-I’m not trying to turn this into some big debate. Mostly because it’s not debatable. Blossomforth: How can you even say that in a universe where Cowboy Bebop exists?! Lyra: Nothing wrong with the show, it just wasn’t Hamtaro. Not every show can reach that kind of potential. Blossomforth: This is absurd! We Bare Bears is better than Hamtaro! Lyra: Now now, let’s not say things we can’t take back.
Blossomforth: Ugh… Raindrops, bring us back to earth here.
Raindrops: Heh heh. Well, I really liked uh… KND? Blossomforth: Are you kidding me?! Lyra: Hmm. You liked how it’s world was much deeper than it appeared at first.
Raindrops: Yeah! Like My Little Human and Steven Universe! Blossomforth: But it was just made up as they went along; you could tell that in season 1! At least Steven Universe did it right! Lyra: Steven Universe did the same thing. Over half of the first season was just monster-of-the-week villain chasing. It’s a simple concept to get you started and acquainted with the characters before things get complicated. Blossomforth: But the creators had things in motion even back then! Lyra: But they weren’t realized until later in order to create self-contained episodes. Kids Next Door might not have done that as well, but it wasn’t supposed to. It was primarily comedy/action. Steven Universe is comedy/action/drama. If it was anything less than what it was it’d be terrible.
Bon-Bon: Swords down, fillies. I brought cookies. Still having your nerd-debate?
Lyra: What was your favorite cartoon, Bon-Bon?
Bon-Bon: Secret of NIHM.
Lyra: Ah… That’s a good one. Blossomforth: That IS a good one. Raindrops: I’ve never heard of it.

Well that felt good! I was going to wait until I got them all done, but I’m doing five new tracks for my five year tumblrversary and one of them has been done for like two weeks. I’ll just go ahead and post it!
Also, if you were interested, there were two newer tracks unlisted on the music page that have now been added.

1) Oh okay.
… What? Do you seriously believe that makes any sense? “I’m being ironic so it’s okay.“ “I said I was going to murder our nation’s leader but I was being ironic so it’s okay.“ “I yelled bomb in an airport but I was being ironic so it’s okay!“
What you’re describing is shock humor, which gets a few laughs by singling out the struggles of a group and invalidating them to others, who don’t have to care because they never lived it. At best, you’re reinforcing a culture that would rather numb itself than recognize real world atrocities that happen to this day. Which has the unfortunate side effect of making those things not look as bad as they are.
Case in point, you actually thought it was okay to make a joke about rape. Don’t worry, we’ll laugh about that later because comedy is tragedy plus time. And thinking rape is funny is pretty tragic.
2) Thanks. I’m not doing so well right now, so this helps.
3) I kinda sat on this for a while. I have no idea what day this was sent or who it refers to.
4) [Bubble-bubble-bubble]

Holy crap why didn’t anyone tell me the SilvaGunner channel is back?
There’s… There’s thousands!

Lyra: I just… really didn’t like the episode… Blossomforth: [Gasp] You didn’t like Mr. Greg?!
Lyra: What? No! That was fantastic! Blossomforth: The Shortie Squad?
Lyra: No! Peridot is suddenly psychic, what’s not to love?
Blossomforth: The Lars episode? Lyra: No!
Raindrops: Steven Floats was a little slow paced, I guess… Lyra: No-ho-ho-ho-…
Blossomforth: … The one with Sour Cream’s dad?
Lyra: Yes…
Blossomforth: … What was wrong with it? Seemed pretty formulaic to me.
Lyra: That’s the- [Sigh] … Nevermind…
Raindrops: Lyra, you know how this works. Nopony is going to coax it out of you. You either say something or you don’t.
Lyra: I just… Marty was a jerk, sure, but why couldn’t he have made a real connection with Sour Cream? Why couldn’t the conflict of the episode have been about choosing to favor the parent that raised you or the parent you share interests with? Wouldn’t that have been a more interesting episode?
Blossomforth: Uh… I guess? Raindrops: Maybe?
Lyra: Why can’t a parent disappear and come back… and come back with genuine interest in their child…?
Blossomforth: …Wha-? Raindrops: They can do that Lyra- You’re right. That’s what should have happened.
1) But that’s the whole point! Silly, upbeat- that’s why they’re good icebreakers! These other ones you’ve been sending are just shock humor at best, and downright hateful at worst.
2) Nope, they’re all anon.
3) See! This one is super clever! And it’s a little bit personalized, indicating you probably already know a thing or two about me. But others might hold it too long to measure, if they’re not familiar with the terminology.
4) And then you have this [omitted].
5) I mean… I have no words… I’d probably call for help/security immediately, fearing for my well-being. Why would you ever say that to another person, for any reason, ever?
