hi ive been going through it a little bit

Andy: Just like most artists, really. I mean, there’s obviously no reason at all why you should answer any questions about what your songs are about, because the songs should be the statement, and obviously when you start talking about the particular meanings of something, without the music, without the context, it doesn’t sound right.

I certainly noticed with Brian Ferry’s songs that he expresses, reveals, far more of himself in songs than ever in a conversation, and he does it in a way that it’s always surprising – a quite extraordinary amount of revealing things. That’s particularly him. I know that that doesn’t apply to you.

Paul: But, you know, isn’t that what a lot of stuff, this “so called art” is about, isn’t it? You know that someone in a picture will be able to do something, express something you can’t do. Yeah, I think I find it easy, I mean, the same way a lot of people have stutters but don’t stutter when they sing a song. That always amazed me that, and I think it is the same way that you can have things said in a song. I mean, I would never have looked at John Lennon and kinda said, “I love you”, because it wasn’t about that, you know, it was nothing about that. But in a song, in the particular way they’re written today, I kinda easily say, “I love you”, almost as a throw-away, because it doesn’t seem embarrassing in that context. I can always deny that it was ever written about him. Burn the tapes, and delete the…

(note: bold mine, but he did trail off there/was interrupted by Andy by another question. it's unclear which one from the transcript. but nothing has been cut off)

I was doing some VOD watching as a bit of fact-checking / research for something I'm working on and got absolutely bodied by this thing Fit said to Ramon:

"You are my light my boy. Without you I would be covered in darkness."

In my dream we were passing around manuscripts for fiction writing class. Normal enough, except Badboyhalo ended up proofreading a Fault excerpt. I was in utter mortified agony waiting for the moment he got to the 1st jail break when Halo got introduced, because I was sure Badboyhalo would start admonishing me for writing him out of character.

okay this marks the third (or fourth?) time in my life that someone has changed their pronouns, not told me, gotten mad at me for not knowing, and me only finding out the proper set(s) by doing social media forensics (and not because the person told me directly. b/c they wouldn't.) huh

[o-i-w-u]

im in so much pain oughbvf. ughsvdv

ill get to your asks. this weekend hopefully. smile

[trashgoblincreature]

hi sorry ive been dead, a lot has been going on. anyway

oc jumpscare

these two. took SO long for me to want to share lmao :']

Sea used to be a character in my old jsab blog. i, oddly, kept using him for stuff outside of that, and kept coming up with more and more headcanons, and. eventually, 'Sea' ended up just being his own character, entirely

Topaz. was inspired by a number of characters from various different fandoms i am currently or used to be in. it took FOREVER to come up with a design i was happy with, for her, but I finally settled on this, so-

Sea is a half-leviathan, and thanks to that, he's semi-immortal, as well. he's around 10,000 years old, and has seen a lot in his time sailing. he mostly stays alone, not bothering getting attached to anyone, because mortals' lives are too short. he sees no point in befriending people that, for him, will just be gone in the blink of an eye. that, and most other immortal beings, these days, are both extremely rary and, typically, not very friendly.

Topaz is a phoenix harpy who's been 'alive' about 7-8,000 years [she lost count]. unlike Sea, she can't die. not permanently, anyway. she can get hurt enough to be 'out of commission' for a bit, but she always comes back anywhere from a week to a month later, stronger than before. she was casted out of her village when she was very young, thanks to her 'freakish' nature, and has claimed a mini island, in the middle of a permanent storm, to try to be alone, avoid getting hurt again. she met Sea while he was lost in said storm, once, and theyve been friends ever since [she refuses to leave him alone and he's slowly getting too emotionally attached to make her leave]

so. yeah, there's those two. my lil creechurs-

tbh, once i draw the last one, i might make proper refs of em all and even start writing stuff with em. im still debating but im very tempted to-

going back to piano is so much for me emotionally. because i had a really difficult experience with my first teacher, who was one of my catholic school teachers with the "you are a "gifted child" and when you're not learning the way that i've always taught forever that obviously means that you're lazy and/or careless". and then i quit in eighth grade because it had become such a struggle to even get myself to get through a lesson because i'd become The Worst about it and she also just wanted me out the door.

but then i took 3 months of lessons over the summer with a different instructor when i was 19 and bOY HOWDY that's where my brain goes when i'm doing okay. "here's how to help you better put the actions your two hands are doing together. here's how you can analyze the piece and see what's going wrong. you're good at hearing the chords and how you want them to line up so go through and analyze the chord progression and put that down and it'll help you" and it just- it was a fucking lifesaver.

like i just wish that i knew when i was a kid that the reason that it didn't work for me was that i didn't know how to connect my fingers to what things were supposed to sound like and that was deeply fucking frustrating. and that was something that i could learn and it didn't just mean that actually i was awful at this thing and needed to stop wasting all of our time
