Meet the Bluesummers family: Legato, Staccato, Adante (sic), and Melody.

Can I call for a moratorium on all music-related names for the self-insertions OCs? Okay? Thanks.

Staccato. Christ.

Well said. [livejournal.com profile] orangewinters uses the handle mainly because it's Legato's name, only inverted XD

Oops, I hit "Reply to this". Well, [livejournal.com profile] angstymcgoth perhaps someone is trying to call you as well;)

Wench, I've been busy battling to the death at Rummikub with Carole and my mom.

...Rummikub?

Adante? Fuck. They got an Allegro, too? Daddy Capo? Shy cousin Sotto?

Legato never really struck me as Italian.

Don't forget his second cousins: Adagio, Appogiatura, Giocoso, and Acapella Bluesummers!

Bleh. Do they have a Solfeggio, too?

And it's also another Meryl's Tragic Past fic. The only reason I don't mock it for that is because I get the feeling that the author is writing from personal experience. And well, if that's what they need to do then so be it.

Making fun of stupid names though is totally okay! Staccato - oh my. But at least they had the sense to recognize that "legato" is a musical term.

Whoakay.

As an opera singer, I have way more problems with this than even the egregiously el fucko idea that the Bluesummers family was named like freakin' kittens- i.e. "semantically alliterative" musical names.

WTFF. First on my hit listoff: "adante" is not a fucking term. Not i8n Italian, not in English. It's andante, moron, and it actually means "to walk" (as in a walking tempo) so without a musical context? Yeah, even if you got the word right, no fucking sense at all.

Second, if you're going to really chase down that coveted retard prize in the sandwich-on-a-pole match, get a little more fucking creative.

Fuck Melody. From now on, I'll be looking for Legato's family to roll with real musical jargon monikers.

I'm thinking along the lines of Appogiatura, Molto Meno Mosso, Hemiola, Auroramediocritus, Rondo, Tessitura, Fach, Contrapuntal, Pianissisissimo, Ritardando, Supertonic, Submediant, Mixolydian, Leitmotif, Allegro non Troppo, and Melisma.

Rondo and Hemiola Bluesummers. Now that has a lovely ring to it.

Rondo is actually a pretty cool name. Sounds like a member of the BDN's gang. Tessitura sounds like another Plant ange though, Contrapuntal sounds like something you'd take pills for, possibly Supertonic pills. Melisma is nice though. I like that name.

What about the cousins? Scale and Arpeggio? And his eccentric uncle Allegro Con Brio?

[identity profile] yma2.livejournal.com 2005-07-05 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm... disturbing. Having said that, in my own private, mental world Legato does (did?) have a little sister called Serenity. So I can't talk.

Hey, would you mind reading my first live journal entry? Please? Oh and Imre Neko, you too! Oh and I musn't forget Buttercup0222

Thanks!

[identity profile] lucky-meryl.livejournal.com 2006-07-21 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
Oh and you didn't mention all of them. It's (from oldest to youngest) Symphony, Legato, Staccato, Harmony, Melody, and Adante

Wow, you're a fucking moron. I'm not even in Trigun fandom anymore, why the hell would I care how many reviews she has?

You know? I don't even REMEMBER what this story's about. Yet apparently, one derisive comment was enough to shatter your friend's psyche enough that she created a whoooole lj just to hate on me. That's pathetic and sad. And AWESOME, because it amused the HELL out of me.

I deleted my comment because I realized how old this entry is. I suggested to lucky_meryl and her gang of cronies that the lot of you grow up and stop fighting about something that has nothing to do with the world as is.

[identity profile] jaina.livejournal.com 2006-07-26 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure you did, sweetie.

I'm fighting? How am I fighting? I don't even KNOW you people. You barged into MY journal--I didn't even go to hers, which I think would've been my right, since it's all ABOUT me. I instigated nothing. In fact, it didn't even upset me or make me angry at all! It's kinda fun to watch morons flail about trying to be all witty and cutting and failing completely.
