It turns out that in the music industry, insane perverts have always been the norm.
Why The World Of Classical Music Is Secretly Insane
We made a NEW CRACKED SHOW about QUIETLY AWESOME THINGS! Special thanks to Miki Matteson, @abeepp, Christina Newhall, Dustin Parsons, and my mom.

OH MAN I NEED TO THINK ABOUT THIS
HAHAHA
As someone who is…intimately familiar with this particular subject matter and the industry, let me tell you that all that hoity-toity stuff is surface-level only and that classical music has always been nuts and filled with murderers (looking at you, Gesualdo), druggies (Berlioz…) and all kinds of nutball people (Stockhausen and his Helicopter Quartet, which is literally a string quartet played in four separate helicopters in the air I mean honestly, Karlheinz).
#full offense what kills me about this is that#listen. tony has a personal relationship with his bots. he nicknamed every single one of his suits#he calls the workshop a birthing suite he makes homemade videos introducing new armors… to his old armors#calling them things like ‘bouncing badass baby brother’#reaction upon seeing clint’s broken tractor: ‘hello deere [a john deere pun. i love him] what ails you?’#he has multiple AIs coded with distinctive personalities#low key based on people he loves/misses#so like. that sink disposal. tony probably has personal history with it to be perfectly honest#he has probably talked to it in the past#‘they’ve been shoving coffee grounds down your throats AGAIN? ugh#i’ll talk to them i promise. how are you otherwise? anything else bothering you?’#i’m gonna cry i talked about this before#but do the avengers Know that the stark tech and gear that they use#are actually low key pieces of tony’s heart that he willingly provides i mean honestly#tony stark#mcu#cap 3#i have emotions ok many emotions
