I just wanna say your depiction of safewording and re-establishment of consent and options and body language descriptions in pages 13 and 14 have immediately skyrocketed you to one of my favorite artists. Safe play in BDSM is amazing, and depictions of active communication are so refreshing

always open to having a discussion about this more on a medium that is not bluesky if you want to at some point!

but it's a starting point to come to grips with the basics before you get into stuff like microtonal music or intentional dissonance with lots of modern jazz/prog music. and this is all western music theory. the frequency of the sound is just the number of times per second it hits ur ear

two notes are called the same thing if the ratio between them is a power of two. a difference of one power of two is called an octave. to put it aggressively simply, the simpler the ratios between two frequencies, the "nicer" they are, the nicer it sounds. that's very overbroad and not entirely true

but just because they are arbitrary does not mean they are solely without reason! there is ultimately a lot going on and if you try to go into it seeking to understand everything from the ground up you will not have the base knowledge necessary to understand *why* it's important knowledge

the reasons that certain music sounds good and not like random harsh dissonant noise is because of math. and fractions. it's the ratios between different frequencies that cause the sounds, and so it's not like the math is arbitrary. lots of decisions in music theory are though

holy shit this is absolutely incredible. rarely do I see vampire art, and even rarer is it focused on that desire and hunger that it entails! I love this so much

this is absolute perfection. good god this is wonderful

100K LIKES WTF

oh wow this is absolutely amazing
