@Terry the hair covering her face completely freaks me out man

while we're talkin about violinists, this is a particularly crazy piece. the original composer, Tartini, had a dream where the devil visited him and said he'd trade his soul for the greatest violin piece of all time. he took the deal and the devil played this for him, and when he woke up he wrote it down.

now, the devil probably didn't actually visit him and he probably didn't really sell his soul. dreams are fuckin weird and you rarely even have control over what goes on in them. i've heard of a lot of artists getting songs practically delivered to them during dreams in a multitude of different ways (vinny of red vox interacted with david bowie in a dream and heard a song over a speaker that he wrote down right after). it makes for a really interesting story, though, that this brutal yet beautiful song is straight from the devil.

the musician playing it here, Ray Chen, plays it extremely well and ends up shredding his bow.

@BlinkRape what kind of gross fucked up font is twitter using to make it possible for characters to overlap underscores?

@xianc78 how in the world do you get "don't collect anything" from the sin of lust....? If anything it would be greed, or maybe pride depending. But it could also be neither of those things depending on how you act or think about your collection. If collecting is something you do for a fun hobby or have some bigger goal like preservation, it's probably fine. If you're collecting intentionally to get things so that nobody else can have them, or you're doing it to stroke your own ego ("I'm better than you because I have a bigger collection!") that's where it would get into greed/pride territory.

I'd say it would only be considered lust if the prime directive for collecting was either sexual, or to advance in a hierarchy of power somehow. A child wanting an action figure probably doesn't qualify as either of those things.

I wouldn't think it was sinful to have a coin collection and dream of wanting the last coin in a series that you need to have a complete one, just to be excited about it. I don't think it's sinful for me to see an anime figure and think "that's pretty cool, I'd like to have that on my shelf!" I'm not collecting them for any reason other than I think they're cool to have.

Candy is so sweet! Enjoying yummy treats, in a cute outfit, a perfect scene :blobaww:

Although I hope the cone is dairy free, because she is lactose intolerant. 💀
