Tinion's Finale: Difference between revisions

Just around December, [[BiteIsMe]] first got diagnosed with severe scoliosis. This demanded spine checkups every half a year in a central hospital. From November to December, Bite found himself playing into more problematic parts of his personality, purposefully giving into drama. One day in late December, Bite had to wake up around 6 AM for one of those medical checkups, following a day full of arguing and a long announcement in which he tried to explain himself. After nearly missing the train at 7:20, he was looking to clear his mind a bit and opened Discord on his phone. To his surprise, his announcement backfired and was deemed as an attempt at manipulation, leading to his banning from multiple servers, with many people he knew blocking him. This scenario inspired the next song, “I’M DOING SOMETHING WRONG.” A piano outro was added to “[https://youtu.be/L0H1RIh85Gs?si=Vy6IoQNkf8wZeGci ADAM TYPE DISSTRACK]” to transition into the new track, which was then renamed into “BITE IS ME.”

It should be mentioned there was supposed to be a song after "BITE IS ME" titled "NOTHING LEFT" with [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlp_xrx93MQ this YouTube type beat], but it was ultimately scrapped in favor for the planned ending at the time. Another song was attempted to be developed with hopes of being an ending, titled "GET DEEP". It was supposed to be a longer than usual song explaining everything up until this point, but that was scrapped as well six lines in.

At the time, the outro for “BITE IS ME” (“If I wanna solve this shit, I better backtrack”) was not yet recorded. The beat had a switch into a slow outro, which later separated into the scrapped track “[https://youtu.be/vsvKYHoKGQc?si=lVWpSMy_2ZjfXCzF FINE.]” Bite’s part of the album was supposed to end on that note, half admitting to things he's done not being very moral or acceptable and just moving on with his life. That's until he remembered the existence of the Valley server and recognized its potential for yet another anger-driven song.

The Valley discord server was created as a solution to Bite feeling "unable to express himself freely enough in public servers" following the presentation of a sex toy, dubbed an Amazon Alexa, in a public voice chat. The Valley, which began as just another friend group server, transformed into a cesspool of excessively sexual or downright disgusting media just for shock value. It was contained in a secret inaccessible “Chat B” for special members but later spread. At some point during an argument, an invite to The Valley made its way to all sorts of servers and people Bite knew. With all the repulsive media in there and their first impression being Bite banning them immediately, it was only more to the pile against him. The server continued to remain toxic and unapproachable until it was abandoned.[[File:Fuck this shit.png|thumb|The difference between an Amazon Alexa and Fleshlight raise heavy implications - both powered by electricity but tackling different areas of comfort.]]Between the Valley song's creation, which took about a month, a few other songs were created, mostly Tinion-related instrumentals like “Tinion's Preshow,” originally titled “Introductions,” the second part, which was a reinterpretation of “TWMIIWCIS,” or the “Kush Town,” “Untitled Instrumental 4” produced by Ænima. With that came some more unfavorable scrapped songs, for example, “[https://youtube.com/shorts/6yCFskenzXA?si=JTuJFIBWLiq3ZOW4 COME BACK],” which was a desperate plea towards MrYM to return to Bite's life. By the way, Bite was actively stalking MrYM’s new socials at the time to try and win him back and possibly have him do a (real) feature for Tinion's Finale. Unfortunately, this wasn't the peak for the YM obsession quite yet - as the following scrapped track would end up being the reason for half of the album's creation time, plus about half of its initial runtime, too.

It's important (not really) to mention the creation of “Legend of Tinion,” which required the assistance of a female singer. In this case, Celeste, a.k.a. Moonlight_Chai, was recruited through the website Casting Call Club to help. The instrumental for this track was fully produced inside Musescore, the same program Bite would use during his first years of piano playing to study and compose classical music. This marks the first time Bite made a song deemed complete in Musescore since late 2018.

In the meantime, yi.st, also known as Cameron wanted to join in on the production of Tinion’s Finale, as he did for previous [[Tinion Steamdust|Tinion]] projects like [[Tinion Steamdust's Encore|Encore]] or [[Emotions of Tinion]]. He and Bite agreed to write a song about Cam’s self-insert character, representing Tinion as part of working for Traphouse Productions. The song was planned to be an in-universe disstrack towards the company, calling them out for their greed and deception. Cameron took on the new name of Ghost, writing the song under the same title. The first draft for Ghost included the exact intro of Rap God by Eminem, directly copied word for word. The rest included lines ranging from “Didn’t care how I felt, the song they forced me to sing” and “They thought I was gonna kill myself, shut the fuck up no I ain’t” to “One of ‘em loves infla-tion” and “(Music stops. Followed by a gunshot.) (Music starts) You thought that was me? No. That was me shootin' yo ass”. Bite heavily criticized it and rewrote the entire thing in class the same day. An introductory interlude for Ghost came from Cam, which was the intro to Tyler, The Creator’s Goblin, copied as well, just replacing Tyler with his name. “You wouldn't do that, Cam, kill yourself or anyone.” Bite declared he would handle the songwriting process from now on. Cam was dissatisfied with Bite mocking his ghostwriting, which led him to attempt deleting the document with his lyrics and refused to do a proper feature for a long time. This coincidentally helped shape the narrative of Traphouse Productions themselves performing as Cameron on the album to compensate for his loss.

By this point, it was April and a huge chunk of progress was made. A new song called “REGRETS” was written, once more about MrYM. A similar one utilizing the same style called “A JINION JUST WANTS TO MATTER MORE” (Later turned into “WISH”) was produced with a transition to “TIME TO MOVE ON.” Ænima produced a new track called “Stroking My Dick.” “Desperate I,” “Desperate II,” and more Ghost tracks were conceptualized. “THE YM DISORDER” got a new beat plus name. Not much was left to complete the album, which already amounted to an hour and a half.
