(Continued from Everyone Forgets She Kills Animals)

Next one, The Ascended Twilight Fangirl, is kind of one of the songs that I don't dislike as much as most of this album. It's got a pretty unique style to it, and...

Oh, I was going to remix the song Virgin Orb in this, but people didn't like that part in... the part of the song that I had with Virgin Orb is on the Cool and New Web Comic Sound Test, if that interests you.

But then, Virgin Orb is just a melody that's difficult to use in songs. Malcolm Brown pulled it off really well in Rex Duodecim Angelus. No, you are not going to correct me on the pronunciation, but... but that's because, unlike me, he is actually good at music. It's difficult to use it. I settled for Darling Kanaya, I guess, which is a really good song. Makes for good casual listening.

And it's not a remix of Virgin Orb, which is surprising because Toby loves remixing and reworking his songs in both Homestuck and Undertale, but it's a completely different song, and... I'll just listen to this thing.

And yeah, I think this piece has... it's not a complex, multi-layered piece like the Sollux song in this album, but... it's got a pretty cool feel to it. It's got weird dissonant, funky stuff, but dissonance done right can be pretty damn good.

Like, it's hard to describe. Obviously, if there's a song where everything is really off-key, it's not a good song, but sometimes, discordant stuff can be either really good and fun to listen to, or Cool and New in some cases.

Oh yeah, the bassline is taken from Gardener, which is like a Jade song, because, you know, Kanaya's a Jadeblood and all that, and there's Space Heroes and stuff. I did that instead of using a Rose song in there for obvious reasons. I mean, Rose songs would be used for obvious reasons. It's not like I hate shipping her with Rose or anything. Nobody hates that ship.

Oh yeah, I remixed Jade Sylph, that one funky drumbeat song which got a lot of the inspiration I guess from it, and except for one part with sort of string-ish chiptunes synths, I actually used only the 2A03 channels in this song for the most part.

And that's a pretty damn cool accomplishment, just making a song with only 2A03 channels for the most part, without even realizing it.

As you can see, this song has some pretty weird chord patterns, but... I didn't even intend for chord patterns to be weird, but I sure would've noticed if they actually sounded bad and discordant. It's really weird though.

Ah, here we go back to the way I bullshit endings by repeating the main section of the song and all that bullshit instead of actually going somewhere new with the song.

And yeah. I think the Gardener bassline surprisingly enough fits pretty well there, even though it's in a song that you think is in one key but actually is in another, and I used the key that you think it's in at first.

And yeah, even though I did a lot of bullshitting with this song, it's probably one of the better ones.
