Thinking about it, I’m pretty sure my ancestors would be horrified with me.

Not because I’m lazy or unworthy or anything like that…

…but because one of my distant uncles was among the eight survivors of the Essex, the ship that inspired the ending of Moby Dick and sank after being rammed by a whale, and what do I fuckin do after my bloodline has this Ordeal at Sea?

I get a fuckin degree in Marine Science and go back the fuck out there.

OKAY SCIENTIFIC METHOD. TESTED A COUPLE OF TIMES. HERE ARE MY FINDINGS

1) THROW IT HARD AND AT AN UPWARDS ANGLE. copy paper will not do the thing this much, but you can see the effect a little bit

2) i had more success with this version, which does the same couple of first steps exactly the same but results in a slightly smaller bat with a bigger wingspan

3) before chucking out paper planes on your backyard, make sure the fence between you and your neighbour does not have exactly paper bat height gaps in them, or you will need to do a very awkward sneak at eight pm on a thursday

“Now do me a favor and die” is such a powerful statement.

one of the unwritten rules of comics is that you don’t want to put a speech bubble over a character’s face, but leave it to Arakawa to know the mood of that scene called for breaking the rules to make that panel layout even stronger.

Classical Pieces You’ve Probably Heard but Might Not Remember the Name

Add others if you want! Have fun!

  • Dies Irae (from Requiem) - Verdi Scary scenes in cartoons, especially involving storms, holes, or treacherous waterfalls.
  • Flight of the Bumblebee - Rimsky-Korsakov Oh come on, everyone knows this one! It sounds too much like the title for you to forget what it’s called! Also: Drumline.
  • Finale to the 1812 Overture - Tchaikovsky Naval battle! Cannon! Fireworks! 4th of July in ‘Murica! Even though it’s about that *other* war going on in 1812!
  • Der Holle Rache kocht in meiner herzen (aka the Queen of the Night aria) - Mozart The one that fancy ladies in movies use to try and break champagne glasses.
  • Libiamo ne’ lieti calici - Verdi ?
  • Largo al factotum - Rossini Does your cartoon need a classical tune for your rotund Italian chef to sing while tossing pizza dough? Have we got a song for you!
  • Overture to The Barber of Seville - Rossini Fast-paced, sneaky-things-are-afoot movie song.
  • The Blue Danube Waltz - Strauss Da-da-da dum dum. *plink plink* *plink plink*. As heard in Jack’s entry to First Class in “Titanic,” and a million other places. (Veggie Tales “Stuff Mart,” anyone?)
  • Moonlight Sonata (mvmt. 1) - Beethoven The ultimate pretty-and-sad piano and/or ballet scene song.
  • Symphony No. 5 - Beethoven dun dun dun DUUUUUN.

I’m sure there are more but these were some of the first that came to mind as missing!

I think this one’s missing, one of my favourites:

Danse Macabre - Camille Saint-Saëns

This is one of the best classical music master-posts I’ve ever seen. I’m so proud of yall

makingsandwichesonlamuella

Pavane for a Dead Princess- Maurice Ravel. Apparently it’s in Dark Knight Rises? I just think it’s pretty.

And

Tales from the Vienna Woods- Johann Strauss II. Contains the melody playing on Rose’s music box in Titanic just before Cal gives her the Heart of the Ocean.
