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!

I pretty much agree with this. I definitely have other ships I have preferences over others in the show but this is the one ship in the show I have no compromising with. Louise and Rudy are adorable but I can live with it if they stay platonic friends. Gene, I don't care who he ends up even if I love his dynamic with Courtney and Alex. I love Bob and Linda's relationship, but I have nothing to worry about since they are already married and canon. Teddy and Kathleen, I want this pair to work out so bad for Teddy's sake. I'll be sad if he self-sabotages this relationship, but I'll manage if it comes to it. Zekina is the only ship I will ride or die on! Even if it sinks I will make like a captain and go down with this ship! I'll shoot every long shot to make them get together in my headcanons if the show goes in the opposite direction. The show set up way too many reasons why they should be end game whether directly or indirectly and I'm in too deep to quit ever man. XD

Zeke and Tina need to be endgame I will literally throw up everywhere if they do a future episode and Tina ends up with J-Ju. I know people really like Josh and Tina together but idk he just gives me this vibe, you know? Like I know he likes her for her but frankly he’s just not weird enough for her! Zeke likes her for her and is just as weird as she is. They’re literally perfect for each other. No I do not accept criticism.

This is why I made the poll for the pen name. https://www.tumblr.com/dreamboundedstar/714892108056674304/which-sounds-like-the-best-pen-name-for-tina?source=share I'm aware that I chose 2nd place but the poll was never about picking the winner but to help me realize what I really wanted. Shout out to the people that commented on the Reddit post I made that helped me figure out what I really wanted for Tina's pen name as well. https://www.reddit.com/r/BobsBurgers/comments/12p8xdk/imagine_this_tina_has_grown_to_be_a_successful/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 Tori Ryder as Tina's pen name is my backup plan in case the show makes its own pen name for Tina or uses her real name. That way I can say it's a completely different person and Tina's just projecting onto the cover as usual. Now that I got credits out of the way onto the piece at hand. Anyway, I've been wanting to do this for a while because I love Greek mythology, Tina loves horses, immediately wanted to do Tina as a centaur. I thought it would be funny to have one of older Tina's published stories be centaur people and a minotaur. I was hesitant to do it for a while though because drawing horse and cow anatomy is intimidating as all get out. Any other option would be expensive though so I eventually put on my big girl pants and did this. I think this piece made me develop carpal tunnel but it was worth it. Serves me right for not remembering to use my whole arm when drawing anyway. XD Originally the idea had Tina as the alicorn centaur and Jimmy Jr. as the sea centaur because Tina would want to be the alpha horse person while it was easy to pun JJ's name as a sea centaur (Swimmy Jr. XD). I switched it when I realized that Tina also had a love for marine life and her being a sea centaur became more fitting. So now onto the name of the characters for this fake story Zeke - Iezekial the minotaur Tina - Princess Tritina the ichthyocentaur

Jimmy Jr. - Prince Iakobos II the Sky Kisser the alicorn centaur Anyway, this is a fake cover I wanted to do because I thought it would be funny to do a trashy romance novel parody. I'm not intending to make a story based on the cover ever. I already have other story ideas that are slowly dying so I don't need to add another one. XD Here's the cover I based my cover's color palette on. https://books.google.com/books/content?id=UHWJkQdCSSwC&pg=PP1&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&bul=1&sig=ACfU3U3w_r4ifjjKvLVPGpz285AX4gHYLw&w=1280 You're free to do a fanfic based on this cover if you want though. I encourage it so I don't have to do it! XD The basic idea is the story is a love triangle story and you're free to decide who wins (though it's Ancient Greece and it's Tina, you read the context clues XD). Anyway, hope you like it! I'm really proud of this piece. :3

“The Devil is Kissing His Girl”

 must have broken some Hey Arnold law by making this detailed image of a character like Edmund with my dumb fancharacter over Shortaki or any other better option for Hey Arnold pairs. I don't care! I was inspired to make this before my break was over and gosh darn it this picture just makes me happy. Sure the trees are awful and they look more like cotton candy than actual flowering trees, but I did my best. As usual, there is an actual context for the image. So basically, this is an image you see before you is actually an idea of a scene I would like to do in a fanfiction possibly. Without giving too much away in case I actually go along with this idea; cherry trees are very important to Debora's character and she adores sun showers. So combining the two is a dream spot for her to give a smooch. That's all I'm going to say for the context, but trust me when I say it is a bit deeper than that description. The cherry tree in the background is the same one from the episode, "Stuck in a Tree". So there may or may not be a clumsy, ginger, Jewish boy stuck in said tree... again. Speaking of the episode, credit goes to a frame of the episode that I referenced for the background of this image so my background could be slightly accurate to the source material, give or take a few trees. The title of this piece is a paraphrased version of the term they use for sunshowers in parts of Tennessee (which is where Debora was from before she moved to Hillwood at the age of 5. I think besides the trees, this kiss kind of bugs me as well. I didn't know how to convey Edmund's weird butt lip without making it look like they were slurping each other. So I have to live with the "slurping" look just so people can see that Edmund still has his huge bottom lip. Curse you Edmund and your weird face structure!

Edit 8/2/2019

I changed the color of some of the trees and I added on Debora’s new eyebrows.

I finally bit the bullet and did “Katsuki and Ochako test out if they can reenact a supernova” art inspired by this comic.

 https://www.tumblr.com/dreamboundedstar/767644835765157888/weaboo-trashcan-uuuuuuurghhhh-a-little-thought?source=share Also, the tiny poem thing is mostly just inspired by my headcanon team name for Katsuki and Ochako Afterglow. It's based on an aspect of an image of the big bang theory I saw on Wikipedia. Katsuki would be that egotistical to compare his and Ochako's combined power to the theoretical creation of the universe so it works. Lol I wanted their team name to not only represent their power but also the hope they provided for others because that’s what Ochako would want. They represent the remaining light of hope after a big explosion. However, Team Afterglow is just the shorten version of their actual team name. Since this is Katsuki, of course the team name is longer than that. The full team title for my headcanon is "Ultra Hypersonic Cosmic Afterglow" I hope you enjoy this image as much as I did making it!

(Butt Sweat and Fears Spoilers) Oh No! Looks Like Henry and Susmita Are Going through a Rough Patch! D:

Susmita and Will is something I definitely didn't see coming. Hopefully they're just there for bg space filler and the Hemita ship isn't really in danger. XD I just thought it was interesting and I wanted to share it.

Well, my college Adobe subscription is finally expired, Oh well, time to install the Adobe CS6 edition I have been holding on to for years for this exact reason! Adobe: Lol sorry, we decided to revoke your serial number. Guess you got to pay monthly if you want a program that Lazy Nezumi Pro works best in! Friendly Umbrella Carrying Koalas!

Congratulations! Your addition made me go over 200 notes. XD This is now my most popular post as far as I know, so thank you. Other than that, good luck if you end up watching every episode involving Zeke making a comment about Tina. I'm genuinely looking forward to the results if you update. Also I've glad you find the caption amusing. The original meme had a swear and that's not my style. So, I censored it with something that's still technically a swear nowadays but I still live in the 90s/early 2000s so it's okay. XD

Linda: But trying to make people think you're cool is exhausting. And when you stop trying, suddenly the next person you talk to thinks you're the best person ever.

Cue the time-passing montage of Tina learning to let go of that embarrassing moment and stop trying to be cool. Most of the time it's with her family, at the restaurant, or by herself just investing herself in her favorite music again. However, there's this one frame I'm convinced has subtle symbolism!

The only time Zeke appears in the episode and it's to be in front of Tina while she looks out the window still sad from the event. Due to how this scene was set up it really looks like it's implying that Zeke is one of those that would think Tina is "the best person ever". However, Tina is too busy being sad to notice what's already in front of her. I mean, the window perfectly frames Zeke in (and sweet Susmita gets her moment too, even if it's just her hair and some of her skin) when they literally could have done whatever they wanted and changed the character in the seat in front of Tina. Heck, Tina could have been in the last seat and further symbolize the loneliness/self-pity Tina is feeling. It's possible they just wanted to stick with accurate continuity and have Tina, Zeke, Susmita, and the rest be in the same seating arrangements as they were in "Cheaty Cheaty Bang Bang". For continuity reasons or not, I still take it as symbolism that Zeke already thinks Tina is the coolest person ever and Tina just needs to really look around her to realize it. The subtext I tell ya!

@konfuse It’s fine. She technically does but it’s Pearl’s voice actress and not her own separate voice actress. I’m not mad, it’s cool. I was just doing some wishful thinking. It’s more likely a fusion or a different character entirely. Although I’ve heard theories that it’s most likely a peridot fusion due to the range the voice actress can go with her voice. It’s similar to Peridot’s range of tone. I’m not saying it’s Lapidot, though. Sure Lapis is more friendly to Peridot now but that doens’t mean she’s ready for fusion again. I don’t see her ever doing it again anytime soon unless Steven is in danger. Just look at one of Roundtable videos about the subject. I don’t remember the title but he has some examples of Ashley Bursch voice work.

Not that’ I’m against a Lapidot fusion. Although, if I want to speak honestly I would prefer to see an Amedot fusion before Lapidot. I don’t care which one goes first, though I’m flexible. As long as it’s believeable. I trust the story is in good hands.

Okay so I’m gonna go ahead and call it now

> half-hour special

> new voice actor recently announced 

> Peridot and Lapis are in it

Aquamarine. Peridot and Lapis are gonna fuse. 

That’s my prediction. I know it’s a long shot, since it’s most likely just a Halloween special of sorts, BUT the possibilities are not mutually disclusive. I will choose to hope!

ClipDrop Relight allows you to change the lighting of images (including artworks) for free with their AI lighting tool

This could be super useful for artists if you want to play around with potential lighting/colours! I tested it out a bit and it seems to work with both portraits and sceneries, however it doesn't look like it works with flat sketches. Still really impressive though!
