puns and anxiety

And my manager was like no!!!! If that happened, I would drive to find you guys in my truck and we could eat stuff from my wife's garden and I would make sure everyone I know survived!! I would carry you all on my shoulders away from the zombies!!

And her super supportive wife

Refer to this post for context.

Volgritian

The Great Dragon of Energy's savior wasn't like other Dragons he knew. A large hoard wouldn't be meaningful, and an impressive kill would invite concern rather than adoration.

Slaying Manticores, which were endangered now (partly Volgritian's fault), wasn't something he could pull off anymore.

The Crown of the Sky had lost his wings. He couldn't even stay in a cave without mistaking nightmares for reality. Volgritian was pathetic. A shivering worm compared to the Tempest he used to be.

But, being with the Hero made Volgritian feel like himself. They never treated him any less than they would a King. That meant the world to the Dragon. His savior was everything and more.

How to convey that though…Volgritian wasn't in any condition to invade a castle, or even walk around to look for ruins. 

"It doesn't need to be that difficult," Tara grabbed the tip of Volgritian's tail so he'd stop slapping it on the ground. His nervous tick was scaring everyone at the Temple. "How about I lend you my old room? It's got a nice balcony!"

Volgritian began swishing his tail back and forth rapidly, clearing an entire patch of the forest. 

While he cleaned up, Tara asked the Hero to head back to Swordhaven to pick up something she forgot in her old room.

"I wonder what the surprise is." The Hero asked themselves when the former Princess didn't specify what that something was. 

The Knights welcomed them into the castle's royal living quarters, and led the way to Tara's old room.

All the furniture had already been cleaned out, replaced with sparkling crystal trees created from lighting striking sand. The refracted light made them glitter, and shone on the Hero, creating the illusion of them shining like a diamond.

Hearing Volgritian outside, they walked out onto the balcony where the Great Dragon of Energy offered them a bouquet.

It was an entire apple tree, blooming and bearing fruit. 

Like a prince climbing the castle walls to meet his love, Volgritian offered the giant century old arbor to his savior.

you need NONE of that shit!!!!! there’s a website called beepbox.co. literally all you have to do is press things until it sounds a modicum of nice. it’s easy it’s free and it works on anything which has a browser because it’s a website.

if even ONE person starts making music bc of this post it will be worth it.

I'm gonna try and make music

Ableton has excellent free websites to learn the basics:

Learning Music

Learning Synths

You can learn basically everything you need on YouTube. I recommend:

Mercurial Tones Academy

Dan Worrall

Bthelick

A lot of your favorite artists, mainly in electronic music, likely have done track breakdowns, you can watch those to learn how they do things.

DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) ultimately all do the same things, and Cakewalk is a great FREE fully fledged one. Sure it has some issues, and doesn’t have many plugins included, but it works just fine. All the music I released so far was made there, before I made the jump to Ableton.

As for VST plugins:

Vital is an excellent free synth

Native Instruments Komplete Start is a good free collection of plugins

TDR Nova is a great free EQ

There’s a lot of others and I don’t wanna name everything I’m aware of here, but feel free to DM me for more (Or if you have any other questions and stuff too).

And as for samples, you can get a bunch of free ones at:

Cymatics

Ghosthack

Having good headphones is nice and what I’d recommend you invest in first once it comes to it, but even your current ones will probably be fine, mainly if you slap AutoEQ onto them to flatten the frequency response. And ultimately, music isn’t all about the mixing, the most important part is conveying an emotion.

Yeah, there is still quite the learning curve, I get that, though it’s also why it’s managed to hold me as a hobby for so long.

I do however have something of the exact opposite variety too, the most simple way to make music I know of, and a wonderful little semi-social experience, along the lines of the game Journey:

The heat has become unbearable for me and my family who are living in our vehicle. We've been trying to stay in the city to focus on our plans, but at this point it is legitimately dangerous to our health. We are all heat sensitive

So we need to head to a campground, we know a good one that would also provide us showers; however we have to be able to cover gas, camp fees, and stay fed while we do this. We also have some concerns about our vehicle going on

My kofi is here, please ask or message for my paypal or etransfer (canada only)

Mais alors, lui. Vous I'avez bien arrangé.
