No I Think That's Swan

215 days until uhhh griffithpalooza or smthing i forgor!t!!!!!!!!

o heya so i uhh created a somewhat iffy transcription of the soundtrack version of Death Valzer (that song that plays during practice when Suzy faints)

i say "somewhat iffy" because although it is 1000% accurate to the note, there are some parts where the hands/fingers awkwardly overlap (not to mention the right hand eternally playing octaves). i'm pretty sure the actual recording used two separate takes for what i have transcribed here as the left and right hand parts, which is why these issues exist :/

i suggest using this score as a guideline but ultimately playing what feels right/comfortable. otherwise, play it with a friend on a separate piano

also i'll be working on a transcription of the in-film version which is slightly different. but anyway

AND ONNNEEE AND TWOOOO AND THREEEEEE AND FOOOOOUR

I don't know that much about maine but I feel neutral about winslow being from there. he does strike me as a northerner, as well as someone from a small town

(paraphrasing but) "it was kind of winslow's fault his piano teacher killed himself" HUH???

"alan d. swan" holy moly at least "dorian" had some pizzazz

also winslow being 18 and not even out of high school is. a choice. in my opinion having him be in his 30s is more compelling

"phoenix" being a stage name does make sense but idk I kinda liked the idea her parents just named her that

this really does read like bad fanfic but it's not especially funny, just sort of dull... though there are some particularly egregiously bad moments, those aren't funny either

"autistic blob" CHRIST

winslow does not beat up any guards but the description of him losing his grip just makes me think of that "I'm insaaane... I'm crazayyy" video

whyyyy is this book so racist.

winslow just goes back to his old hotel after being in prison for four months and being horribly disfigured in the record press accident. ok man.

it's hell trying to find medieval western european recipes that are 1. somewhat autism-safe, 2. don't contain nuts or other allergens, and 3. aren't some horrible food crime

though you don't have to tell me that restrictions like these completely defeat the purpose

if one is to prepare a historical meal, one must make the conscious decision to eat something completely rank, get overstimmed and die of anaphylaxis and also tastebud poisoning
