They should call the baseball team the Chicago Cubes to recognize the fact that the players and the ball are three-dimensional

dude have you watched arcade. it's based on a game called leading legends but it's actually good as fuck. even parents watch it.

ive heard of trans girls

Of course you have something weird going on with your left eye. and pronouns

I've now seen two different deltarune theory videos that describe gaster's theme as having an interval of seven semitones and then pointing out other music that uses that same interval to assess how likely it is that it's a deliberate reference to gaster's theme but without at any point clarifying that an interval of seven semitones is more commonly known as a "perfect fifth" and is actually the second most universal interval in all of music after the octave and it's actually harder to find music that doesn't contain any perfect fifths than music that does

it's such an irresponsible writing decision you know. perfect fifths are one of the first things you learn about if you study music theory for any amount of time. referring to it by the width of the interval in half steps instead of by its more common name makes it sound more mysterious and special than it actually is. it's leading an audience who doesn't know anything about music theory except a vague understanding of the word "leitmotif" to think "yeah, why would both of these tracks have a melody with two consecutive notes separated by exactly seven semitones if one isn't meant to be a reference to the other?" even though that question has a really obvious answer that anyone who knows anything about music theory should be able to explain

calling perfect fifths a motif is like calling "uses words with the letter 'e' in them" a typing quirk

see what I'm talking about. calling it "1-7-7-1" makes it sound impossibly specific like there's no way anything could have that sequence of intervals on accident, when the actual thing it is is going up and down the same three notes separated by half steps and perfect fifths, two of the most common intervals in all of music, arranged in one of the most common melodic contours in all of music.

ok but i literally said multiple times that it's not uncommon and that's why people need to do their due diligence when theorizing about it. just because im pointing out the actual intervals does not mean im trying to obfuscate that.

I'm sorry, I'm ignoring your other points on purpose because I'm trying to stay on topic. this post is about a specific way of explaining what "gaster's theme" is and how it's potentially misleading. I don't want to argue against your other points because I haven't figured out a nice way to say "even if you could prove that a theme is definitely referencing gaster's theme, this wouldn't be useful as evidence of literally anything because the undertale series does not actually consistently use recurring themes as leitmotifs so you need to already know the story implications ahead of time to figure out if a recurring theme is being used as a leitmotif or not which means trying to find gaster's theme in things is fundamentally a waste of time and cannot possibly be the basis of any worthwhile analysis"
