#feldman

You know I was going to write a whole paragraph on this. Going into detail about Feldman's whole life and why he is this way... Then I thought; what am I doing? I want this in the story!

So a bit of a vague answer inbound: He grew up privileged and that instilled more than a few biases in him that he never challenged. Feldman resents himself so much he felt better resenting others. That doesn't excuse what an absolute tool he is.

We're back in my medieval hood...but I needed to disable Reshade, because my game kept crashing with it...

To end Crazy Week, I thought, instead of describing the chaotic and stressful day-to-day we all experience, I’d rather listen to music that emphasizes stillness and being ‘unrushed’. There are plenty of things that come to mind, maybe more traditionally I would think of some music by Schubert. More modern, I wanted to listen to Morton Feldman’s 1986 piano piece Palais de Mari. It was his last solo piano piece. The music Feldman is most known for can span Wagnarian lengths, but is mostly slower and thinner textures. This piece is more reasonable in length (the recording shared here by Aleck Karis is about 20 minutes) but has the same atmosphere he created in his larger works: stillness, focus on intervals, and the colors and resonances of the instrument. On the piano it sounds like soft bells. If you are feeling rushed, stressed, and “crazy”, this is the kind of music you can put on to help feel focused on the present, and let go of worry, expectation, and doubt.

A look at the man behind the longest chamber music ever written.

When they invent time travel, Jamison had better get his ass back to the 80s and co-star in all The Two Corey’s movies because 

A.) We need more young Jamison content

and B.) The chemistry between the three of them is golden.

I love our sweet brother....if I could, I would give him all the money in the world.

And the judges. Oh my god. I love them. They have their own relationships with each other, and I will not be ashamed to say that I ship Chris and Howery. I don’t know, I think they’re already a lowkey married couple, and they could use all that pent‑up energy to make up in a closet instead of yelling at each other. I think Zak and Irene would really appreciate it.

I was reading over your asks and saw one about Chris being a father figure, and I kind of agree. He’s my MC’s favorite. I love Harold, but Chris seems like someone who would tell the truth even if it hurts, and with the life our MC came from, I think it’s refreshing that they don’t have to read into every little thing with him. They know what he wants from them, even if it’s not what the MC wants to do. At least they know.

I don’t know, those are just my thoughts at the moment. Have a good day!

Hi and thank you! I'm really happy the Holloways are resonating with people. I was scared everybody would find them boring to engage with honestly ^^'

The reception of Lewis surprised me too, but I guess for a teenage boy suddenly having to share their home and their parents he's doing really well. Maybe you'll be able to repay him for that kindness... maybe

Feldman and Howery... now there's a pairing I didn't see coming xd

Imagine whatever you like, but while Feldman is a (loveable to some) asshole, Howery is the devil. You'll see more of that in the coming chapter.

Harold once again being pushed away... but I get it. I do think some MC's would gravitate towards Feldman because he's more predictable to them. It's not something he'd ever acknowledge though. He doesn't think himself a good father...
