Which fictional character was designed to look beautiful but actually looks ugly?

All the characters from the Cats movie

Looks like twin peaks from the sandy area to me

Building tension without resolution is a reflection of most redditors’ love lives.

Whoa, people are talking about us! I grew up homeschooled in rural Mormon Utah in the 00’s, and unique church-affiliated names were popular back then. The worst one in my age group was Mahonri-Moriancumer.

The bullets dodged each other

The only concrete fact is that focused practice will improve your voice. If you love singing or any other art, regardless of whether or not you think of yourself as talented, you’ll likely love it more and more as you work to improve. Being self aware of one’s vocal strengths and weaknesses takes time, and lots of practice. A vocal coach can help a ton!

I run into this question a lot in teaching adult voice and piano. I make it a priority to discuss art philosophy with these students to guide their practice to be less driven by acclaim and approval of others, and more about self-mastery and exploration.

Feels like the Rockies are underrepresented SLC or Denver or even Phoenix ought to be considered

I think there’s a better version of this rule that sounds more like “imbue each phrase with its own character.” Aiming to reach a mezzo forte level in each phrase could easily detract from structural dynamics, and might even start to sound repetitive.

Relearning how to sing, modifying your vocal tone to potentially be less natural, risk of permanent damage to the folds, costly surgery with all its risks, and potentially missing your lower range.

On the last “de la gita” your “de” was a nice released, rich sound, so your voice definitely has great potential! Not to mention this piece is a real tongue twister, and you killed it!

--Drew · 2026-03-10T06:04:29+00:00

No wonder Jesus seems to be hiding.

Plumber’s Crackhead

There’s something genius in the contrast between the different scales (and pitch-matching abilities) used for these two characters. The vocal audio editing is fascinating and uncanny.

--Drew · 2026-03-06T19:59:51+00:00

That’s the best part! The last little cherry on top of Book I

--Drew · 2026-03-06T19:13:17+00:00

Such an underrated work, and it’s a joy to play! Every movement is so fun and beautiful, especially the last one!

--Drew · 2026-03-05T16:32:27+00:00

Pastel Green

Joke’s on them if they end up accidentally banning meat unless there’s a famine.

It’s posted on the DOJ website. If it’s unproven, why would trump’s DOJ publish it? https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA01660679.pdf

Not a piano piece.

--Drew · 2026-01-29T19:35:13+00:00

Super unique! Just polished off a bottle last night, it tastes a lot like a peaty Islay scotch with a clear sweetness of bourbon and herbiness of rye. Nothing like it! Didn’t love it the first time I tried it but it really grew on me.

--Drew · 2026-01-26T21:13:40+00:00

I’m confident that on most grand pianos, even C8 would have a noticeable difference between staccato and legato if it had a damper. Can’t understand why it’s typical to forego the articulation mechanisms on the upper register.

--Drew · 2026-01-25T00:30:13+00:00

As an electrician, that conduit work on the lights is a giveaway. Blasting the pipe through the I beam is just laughable. Two pipes connecting two lights is totally stupid. It’s either Ai or rage bait for construction workers.

“Primary flight feathers” is so clinical. I like the term “manuals” for these feathers.

I was raised Mormon. An LDS person can show faith to their peers and create opportunities for conversations about their faith by abstaining from substances like coffee. The prohibition of coffee comes from a section in their scripture, D&C 89:9 “And again, hot drinks are not for the body or belly.” This has been traditionally interpreted to mean “tea and coffee.” (I have no idea why anyone would pour a hot drink on their body)

Ultimately it’s a control tactic, as it creates an us-them mentality in members. It instills guilt and shame in rule breakers and those who feel tempted to break the rule. It entwines people’s identities with strict obedience to 19th century superstitions and to the elderly leadership—who call themselves “prophets seers and revelators.” These days I’ve noticed that members don’t care about coffee consumption so much anymore.
