first song i’ve written on a ukulele ever, i’d say i’m pretty proud of it idk idk idk here’s the lyrics you don’t have to listen it’s not all that
“backup rubber bands wrapped around my wrist. my hands are cold, open windows, sitting watching storms roll in. it’s harder to admit when things are getting bad again. guilty, crimson waters feed the valleys of my covered skin.
call a therapist, it’s emergency, lift my head, i’m worn. my eyes are awful sore. call a therapist, it’s a emergency, fix my head. i can’t take much more (of this shit).
at my highest i can feel the shifting of the heart of the mountain. climbed- god i climbed, and now i'm falling faster than i can say “wait, i wanna stay this way.” i don’t think i’ll ever feel the same again.
if i’m slipping on the rocks on my way up, would you reach out to help me? would you not? would you love me, love me, love me all the same if i can’t reciprocate the light you showed me?
if i’m sitting caught in the rain, slowed on my peak, if i am blue in the face, unable to speak, would you still love me, love me, love me?“
THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING, YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE PROUD OH MY GHERD
MY ULTIMATE CREATION

No guys you don’t understand.
The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.
So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.
This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.
That’s not sad, that’s awesome.
*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing
This is humanity
Happy Birthday, Curiousity.
Happy birthday, Curiosity.

Look at this point if something in a TV show feels off, my first, immediate response is, “who in the corporate office fucked them over?”
Wonky writing? Something feels rushed? Animation errors? First question should be, “Who was fucking over the production team? What were the censorship notes? Was this what the team actually wanted to do, or were they strong-armed?”
I think a lot of y'all are way too fast to blame the writers and animators for issues that wouldn’t exist if the studio executives and the censors weren’t fucking it up for everyone.
Pay the writers. Pay the actors. Pay the animators. And for god’s sake, stop blaming them for industry-wide issues that the unions are actively trying to fight against.
AND THIS IS WHY EVERYONE HATED MARIO KART WII
