If they were really clever they would’ve treated a blank doc in madness and thats it.

You aren’t wrong, but this is the exchange where people gleefully write Blue Soup fic and shit like FFA RPF. What are you expecting here?

Oh, I expect this kind of thing. Look how many fics untited goose game got this year, and yeah, infidel blue crap. But I've discovered some pretty cool music videos through Yuletide, and I'm just still stunned protracted silence could become a thing at all.

But Coalie, it's not silence, it's the sounds on the theater. Or, something. IDK. It's Art.

(I have also never really gotten it, but most of the music theory people I know are very into it. Or at least hate it a lot for more principles reasons than "but why," lol.)

The silence word one would be fine in madness, too, and you might be able to argue it into the main collection, even.

They did? I'm kind of delighted by that.
