Get to Know Me Meme (anime version): 1/5 minor characters ↳Senritsu from Hunter x Hunter. Senritsu is a professional hunter, specifically a Music Hunter with an emission nen type. She meets and befriends Kurapika when they serve as bodyguards to Neon Nostrade during the auction in Yorknew City. Senritsu’s goal is to find and destroy the mysterious Sonata of Darkness, which killed her friend and affected her body. As a pro-hunter, part of her skills that have been revealed include precise super-hearing, proficiency in combat, and instrumental abilities that enable her to calm down the people around her. Her kind and soothing nature provides a great source of friendship and support for Kurapika, who has currently hired her to be one of the bodyguards for the Royal Princes on their way to the Dark Continent. “I’m also a pro-hunter, a music hunter. I’m looking for a particular music score, the Sonata of Darkness. It’s said that Satan himself composed it.” | Inspiration
More of my edgy OCs redraws (｀▽´) Almost every of my character has a backstory, some of them are cringy (because I was cringy when I was 16yo lol) but sometimes I’m like “this pretty decent” <”D So here’s Melody – the ghost of a young bride

[Id: Drawing of the main characters from the My Little Pony Tales.]
Finding old My Little Pony Tales episodes was a big blessing, never have I felt such nostalgic joy as while drawing these. Who was your favorite? I’m Curious!
Living by the coast, I am very familiar with the beautiful, tranquil feeling of the crashing ocean waves on a cold and misty day. This isn’t a fun “let’s go surfing” or “smell the suntan lotion” song - it’s about a spiritual connection to the beach.
Personally, I feel that the beach is so much more special and beautiful in the rain, or even in the mist. It carries a mysterious pulchritude that gives you shivers and touches your soul. I easily connected to these lyrics - as I have experienced the feeling that they describe numerous times.
I imagine the 80s inspired beat accompanying the climax scene of a Julia Roberts or a John Hughes film. Despite the beat being very 80s and the tune being exceptionally catchy, San Cisco somehow balances the upbeat melody with deep, meaningful lyrics.
I had an argument with a friend last night about what was more important: melody/beat or lyrics. I was pro lyrics and he was pro beat. But then I realized that the entire argument was ridiculous, because a truly amazing song has to have a balance of both deep lyrics and a melody that touches your soul. So our little argument actually had no point: they go hand in hand…
Of course classical music, one of the most exquisite genres there is, lacks lyrics, but I feel that the instrumentals and the many different elements act as lyrics and tell a story.
He compared lyrics to the dialogue of a film, whereas I compared them to the storyline of a film. I said that a melody may evoke a certain feeling and keep you wanting more, but lyrics are what one relates to and what cause you to listen to a song over a hundred times. You’d never call a song your song unless you related to- and felt a personal connection to the lyrics.
I guess neither one of us was wrong, but that little argument led me to appreciate songs that have a wonderful balance of meaningful lyrics and a catchy, touching melody all the more.
Hence I am blogging about this amazingly quirky yet meaningful masterpiece by San Cisco.
