The art is good. Very good.
BUT WHERE THE HECK IS SHAKESPEARE PUTTING THAT BOW JFOIDJDFOSDF
AND WHAT IS HANS DOING?? SLANTED BOW, WEIRD BOW GRIP FJSDIFSJFOJFOFJSO
MOZART. MOZART, FREAKING MOZART OF ALL PEOPLE LOOKS LIKE HE'S ABOUT TO TOUCH THE BOW HAIR WITH HIS OILY THUMB. Also I don't know what the heck his left hand is doing
And I actually can't comment on the Phantom since I know crap's worth of cello playing

The guy at the back has the worst bow hold imo lol
The left hand posture is pretty good doe o.o
I too do not play cello but I can tell you from observing cellists that his left hand is not in the right position for playing and his bow is probably too high up on the cello ahaha
Offline
The guy at the back is Shakespeare lol
I don't know if anyone in the image other than Mozart actually knows how to play the violin. Idk if the Phantom knows how to play the cello either.

@Eliza - but the hand with the bow hold isn't shown??? The bow's on the fingerboard, sure, but who knows, maybe he has perfect bow hold and horrible bow position

When I meant his hand was in the wrong position I was referring to the hand closest to the scroll. It's supposed to be held a little more over the fingerboard.

@Eliza - I mean the bow hold comment lol. Were you talking about Shakespeare? That's the guy with the brown hair, like Specter said.

I love how my opinion on everything is "this BUT"
Also I found out this year that I can't say I have a solid opinion on the death penalty, so rn I'm sticking to "To [heckity heck] with the murderers who murdered for no reason, for fun, etc. ... considerations for others are left open, though. Oh, and I haven't done enough research, but I don't really care about costs..."
Mostly thinking about that European case (from like, very long ago). Cenci, I think? She didn't deserve to die for patricide. Her father was like a real variation of a Moriarty the Patriot villain, and that's saying a lot.

Fun fact--sounding "nasally" is an issue I have because in Chinese you sometimes sound like that on purpose

The topic is being brought up because I listened to Nero's singing
It does need work
BUT
I think she just needs a vocal coach. And training.

I honestly don't understand why "Konna Sekai, Shiritakunnakatta" and "Tsuki Akari" aren't popular songs. They're still among my favorite Japanese songs lol, like on the top. I don't even know why I like them so much

Lol there was a video that came up yesterday that was like "What Your Favorite Fate Ship Says About You" and I realized I don't have a favorite ship really oopsie
Anyways opportunity to talk about them ig. Notably I'm not talking about Gudako or Gudao with any of the Servants lol, there are way too many possibilities
First are the three main routes and their primary ships
Okay, starting off is the Fate route ship--Shirou x Saber.
I'm not really sure what to think of it. I wasn't a big fan of the anime adaptation and for me it kinda seems like they're cute but, like, cute friend vibes? I liked the stuffed lion and cooking vibe from the two of them. But uh, I don't know lol.
UBW Route ship-- Rin x Saber
Arguably my favorite ship out of the three F/SN routes, but I'm also kinda indifferent to their relationship. I think it might be the healthiest ship, but...maybe I just don't care enough about the two characters, lol. As long as they're happy, lol.
Heaven's Feel Route-- Sakura x Shirou
Okay so for some reason this ship seems really unhealthy to me. I mean, there are sweet parts, but I kinda dislike the damsel in distress cliche (even if Sakura being a damsel is justified). I do hope Sakura gets a happy life, but I don't really have her up in the favorite characters list at all. And the ease of how Shirou abandoned his ideals is not very,,, uh, I don't like it. It's jarring. Though, notably, his ideals are kinda unachievable imo.
Other ships--
Gil x Enkidu
Okay, so for one, I don't really do ships like theirs. I friendship them, lol. I can see why they're shipped, though. "One and only friend" basically translates to "one significant other" in the minds of some. I don't know what their source material portrayed them as (but apparently that drives the ship even more lol), and I also don't really know much about 'em. Haven't gone through the Babylonia Singularity or watched the anime. But, I'll probably stick to the friendship, lol. I don't like ships with tragic endings.
Gil x Ozymandias--
Bruh. One Gil is enough
I kinda friendship them though lol since they apparently get along
I don't know enough about them but I'm pretty sure I will never ship them.
Ozymandias x Nefertari--
Mostly just shipping them from that one component on Ozy's page
If they got together and Ozymandias forgot what he said I'd punch him, like yes, you only need her.
One of my potentially favorite ships even if I don't know anything about them. I think I might be biased from a fanfic,,,
Mordred x Artoria--
If you ship them, don't ever talk to me again
Artoria x Gilgamesh--
No. I don't understand why people ship them.
Holmes x Moriarty--
I guess if you ship this you really do love the enemies to lovers trope. I don't really. Uh, I can see more of the ship in Moriarty the Patriot, but here the age disparity is kinda big. Also, it's pretty obvious they don't like each other. (Moriarty suggested for Holmes to go hit himself with a train.) I kinda like their enemy dynamic, though if I were actually the last Master of Humanity I would try my best not to the summon both lol
Mordred x Fran--
I can see why people ship them, but uh. I personally don't. Fanart is cute though. Lol. I friendship them
Arjuna x Karna--
If you ship them, don't speak to me ever again
Xiangyu x Yuji--
I kinda ship them. They're historically canon lol, but I don't know enough about either both historically and in Fate, so. Apparently Xiangyu was better to his wife than Liu Bang . I wanna see how they interact, but just in terms of how Yuji talked to Xiangyu, it's probably cute.
Medea x Soichirou--
Technically would be one of my favorite ships if not for the fact I don't know enough about Soichirou. The guy needed more development. But if his personality fits, I'd love to ship him with Medea lol. Medea deserves someone who sees her as significant (*kicks Jason*) because nothing was her fault, at least not in her Fate backstory anyways. I like how she's loyal to him though, and how he was kinda kind to her.
Also they kinda vibe well. Probably not my favorite vibe but idk lol
Annndd my brain is short-circuiting lol, might talk about more ships later, but I covered the few that I know I'll probably ship or already ship in the first place :D.

Oh yeah, one more.
Diarmuid x Artoria--
I was conflicted on this for a little while after I watched F/Z lol, but I reckoned Diarmuid should just stay with his canonical pairing. I friendship them 100% though lol. In F/GO Diarmuid talks about Artoria and the entire time I was like "GO TALK WITH HER OR GO SPAR WITH HER OR SMTHN"
I guess their friendship dynamic is slightly awkward because of how he looped her in with Kiritsugu and the others at his end in F/Z lol
Diarmuid x Fionn--
I don't even friendship them, though apparently Heroic Spirit Fionn is a bit better. If they were a couple, that'd be terrifying. Like, imagine having an argument and then the other (Fionn) letting you die when he can literally save you. (The guy spilled the healing water thrice. Like, bruh.)
Fionn gives the vibes of the guy who gives you a cup of ice cubes when you asked for water and says, "Wait," but even worse, because you're dying and he's spilling healing water while going, "Wait." You can't tell me I'm wrong

My eyes are like constantly dead but I have no choice
I must endure
Tbh I'd be surprised if I still have the same vision capabilities by the time I return to in-person learning
No break is enough. Literally 14 hour breaks are not enough to make my eyes not tired. Help.

Scientists are apparently debating what to call a collection of black holes--a crush, a void, a scream are among the possibilities
Personally I like scream the best, it just sounds so dramatic
And also I like the irony of a swarm of crows being called a murder while black holes are only called a "scream"
