do you think people who are into reylo wanted fiona to go through with the wedding to lord farquaad
no, you know what fuck this. fuck you. we need to talk about the FEAR in max’s eyes here. Like all he wanted was to be loved by someone. by ANYONE. And to be a fair and decent leader. like wow Shrek and dreamworks i expected better from you than a message about how abuse victims ultimately deserve to be eaten by a big dragon. i suppose you think that’s feminist because she’s a girl dragon. what about fiona’s sexual empowerment? Fuck this. max deserved better. i’ve had it with this franchise. whatever at least we have fanfic. new chapter of my farqiona kinktober entry will be up on friday
So I’m in the garderobe at the ye olde market wherein I toil wiping my hands minding my own business, and I notice this maiden scowling at me. Note I’m wearing my hair in a medieval pageboy style and have a ‘seize the ogre’ tunic on. So I’m like
“make thy quarrel known wench”
And she just says
“Are you a fucking farqiona?”
and she started screaming like some wilde beaft at me so I was like 'stay thy tongue!’ and her mother runs in and says 'verily let it be known the lord farquaad and the princess are to be wed!’ and had.her thrown in the stocks for all of duloc to see her shame. And bought for me a whole suckling pig to apologise. a like, most merry day indeed
and with a VCR you could do all of this AND have the visuals as well… but an audio cassette recorder is a good place to start, since they’re small and simple. I would not recommend a boombox, because those are large and nowadays all very, very bad quality.
Now you may be saying “how is any of this helpful, I want a digital file…” here’s the fucking magic. You go into Audacity (free program), and lie to it that the tape recorder is really a microphone. Then you hit record on Audacity, and hit play on the tape, and let it play at regular speed. Trim and export the digital file, and you’re doing gangbusters. You’re cooking with gas. You’re thinking with portals. You’ve won the internet.
Congratulations, you can “pirate”* anything you want, and literally no one can catch you, because you’re not downloading in the traditional sense. You’re streaming to an external device, and that device is recording what it receives. It’s exactly like taping a live tv show to a VHS. This is a very low-key and non-strenuous task for the computer, since your tape recorder does all the work.
*Is this piracy? No. Well- it’s time shifting. Sort of. Tell it to my Steely Dan albums. Tell it to my The Sims: Hot Date VG Soundtrack album.
OP, dropping surprising knowledge from across time and space:
listening to music with headphones is so awesome especially when it shoots straight into your brain and you can pick out all its little layers like sandwich ingredients
