Took these pictures yesterday at like 12:30 or 1 after coming back from my uncle's house! (Had a ton of fun :D even got to play his guitar!) And after half a chicken nugget a small French fry and some lovins I think he has excepted me as a friend!!! (Before I left for my uncles we got home around 8 and had something to eat before leaving at 8:46 and coming home around 12:30)
Ps the guitar playing wasn't very good as I'm not a guitar player. But I think it went pretty well!...other then my fingers hurting ofcourse :)
Animals accepting you feels better than literally anything else. If I could choose between an animal accepting me and knowing the secrets of the universe, I would hands-down choose the animals every time.
I could never play a string instrument. Like, I suck at practicing things that I don’t enjoy and I don’t particularly enjoy forming callouses. I’ll stick to singing, thanks.

okay but i remember some of it so my inner band kid is freaking out rn(i used to be a band kid but quit last year) so this is mu answer to kiss sal’s ask :)
“what is your opinion on the aot characters + instruments” (a summary of what i remember)
also sorry for the typos this god me really excited and i had to rush to do this :)
AOT CHARACTERS + INSTRUMENTS
eren
probably plays like guitar and probably that only because he considers that the coolest instrument and doesn’t need to learn other instruments
jean
knows guitar and piano because he wanted to impress the ladies. also somewhere on my blog i have little headcanons of jean being a country artist that writes and plays love songs
marco
plays piano and especially loves playing classical music. his favorite is clare de lune. he knows how to play other instruments but just prefers piano
connie
definitely a band kid and played trumpet. and was like one if those annoying trumpet that would mess around when an important concert was coming up and we had to take it seriously(talking from experience; 8th grade was not it lmao) but they still made you laugh
sasha
also a trumpet and surprisingly really good but she bandwagons off of connie, but she’s more serious about it than connie
levi
loves loves loves piano, and plays it quite frequently. probably was one of thise rich kids you see in movies that were forced to leard at the age 4. he became a world wide know composer. also knows like every instruments because hes a child prodigy. and like you hate him at first because those kids are rude and a snob, but then you found out that he’s actually sweet and the most caring. also he’s like that beethoven type shit. like im talking moonlight sonata (3rd movement) yeah uh huh
erwin
he played every string instruments known to man. and he’s probably one of those rude ones too. like he’s saying that orchestra is better than band. he’s that type of high schooler
armin
knows every instrument as well and is definitely a composer like levi. he loves piano and the violin and is always making songs for his friends. he just makes a song based off of the vibes they each give
historia
also a band kid and plays the flute. but she isn’t one of those sweet flutes (please know the difference between christa and historia) likes she is sweet but isn’t innocent like everyone makes her out to be. she’s probably knows all the drama but just stays out of it
mikasa
bass guitar. thats it thats the tweet. god she would be so hot playing that. my bisexual self is shaking at her playlist bass guitar. she plays in a band with eren, jean, annie and reiner
reiner
drums. like he looks like a drum kind of guy. and it’s so fucking hot too. definitely has all the men and ladies shaking in their shoes whenever he has a drum solo in a song
annie
also like levi but shes part of the band as well. her and mikasa gave everyone a bi awakening and no one can convince me other wise
hange
its canon in aot junior high that they played the guitar but i also see them play the drums like they also gave a bi awakening in that band with levi and mike when they were in college together
mike
canon in aot junior that he plays drums and thats it. i don’t see any other instruments. maybe guitar but that’s it
so this is all the people i really see play instruments and like yeah. this was rushed but this is giving me and idea for a fic :)

story words: blue, tulip, flute
Blue: 
For about 15 years, there was a painting of Radha Krishna hanging in my living room. My grandmother lived with us a couple of times when we (me and my sister) were young. One of those times, when I was maybe five years old, she took to telling us the story of Krishna under the painting of Krishna. 
Now, mine and my sister’s favorite story had always been the birth of Krishna, and it still is to this day - especially the scene where King Kamsa cam running down the hall in only his underwear - but after that she would change it up depending on how she was feeling, and her favorite was the story of Holi, especially with the painting as reference. She would say, “Krishna asked his Amma why Radha was so fair and why his skin was dark, so his Amma thought and thought and then frustrated, pulled out all the colors in the world and told them to paint each other.” 
For anyone who isn’t familiar with classic, like, Hindu religious art, dark skin is denoted by blue coloring because of tradition from when there weren’t inks dark enough to color over dark inks so people couldn’t be drawn in them. 
One time in prek we had to draw one other kind in class, and I drew my cousin brother in blue crayon and my white assistant teacher frowned and asked me if I was sure I didn’t want a dark brown (I think she might have been concerned I didn’t feel represented by the crayon availability I know that’s a thing) and I got kind of upset because my cousin brother has very dark skin like Krishna, so he should be drawn in blue. My prek head teacher was a south asian lady though and she got my artistic vision so we were okay. 
My cousin brother drew me too but he drew me in a bright pink outfit and I got very mad at him because at this point in my life my favorite color was purple and he knew that so there was no reason for him to be wrong like that.
Tulip:
I absolutely love flowers. Once a very long time ago, my favorite flower was a lotus, but I’ve changed fundamentally as a person and it’s been hibiscuses for a very long time now. None of this is important knowledge for this story but I thought you should know.
In 8th grade I had a long term science substitute teacher who didn’t believe in evolution. She would preface every statement with “scientists claim” and follow it up with “but I have my doubts.” She kept 3 ginormous fake tulips in a vase on her desk that she kept her desk key in and only ever looked at after the last bell rang and she needed to lock up the grade book and attendance forms.
The thing about being in middle school is you have very little problem finding people willing to start shit with you. A few of my best friends had this teacher in periods that I did not, and we all conspired to bug her as much as humanly possible because we were thirteen year old brats who had been slighted and that is what we had the power to do.
So we bought a fake tulip.
My friend who I will call Alex had science seventh period. He would sneak an extra flower into the vase on his way in, and then I - an avid theatre kid and the only one of us actually unafraid of getting into trouble - would stop by before the activity bus every day to ask the teacher questions and steal our tulip back while she wasn’t looking. This was actually really hard because these tulips were like. Half the size of my backpack, but we managed it for a few weeks.
Anyway, we convinced her she had 4 tulips, or at least so I assume, because about two weeks into this very masterful planning, I knocked over the vase and set it upright. She pulled me aside after class to - can you believe it - accuse me of stealing her flower. After all, she’d had 4 tulips in that vase, hadn’t she? I told her no, she’d only had 3, she’d always had 3. She said, how dare you lie to me like this, that’s not grown up behavior. So she asked the class - my 3rd period class - how many flowers were in the vase, and they of course said 3 because there had only ever been 3 tulips during 3rd period.
She asked me if she could look through my bag when I stopped by after school. I said, that’s an invasion of privacy. She asked if I had anything to hide. I let her look through my bag. She pulled out one ginormous fake tulip, looked at me very smugly, and told me that I shouldn’t have lied. I told her I didn’t lie, she said, well I have the evidence right here, I told her it was my flower she said prove it and I showed her my name sewn onto the base of one of the petals.
We were much more proud of ourselves for this ultimately harmless very unspectacular gas-lighting than I think we should have been, but hey. We were easy kids to please.
Flute: 
Not as interesting, unfortunately. One of the first girls I ever had a real crush on in elementary school played the flute in our school band and I asked her if she wanted to come over and practice with me for our recital, where orchestra was playing an entirely different song to band. I learned how to play the song she was learning on violin to justify why I had asked her over. She said no.

Post on tumblr:
“So I used to have this friend. We aren’t friends anymore though. But anyways tell me tell me if it’s is petty for me to feel this like this. I introduced her to Shawn’s music. Yeah she had heard of him on the radio, but I told her about him and how he came to be him. So she instantly became “obsessed” with him. But I’m not sure if she really was. Because one she had never liked any of the same music as me in the past. But she loved everything else I did. And she lied a lot.  To give you a short briefing of what our relationship was we became friends in 3rd grade because she was in my class and I had moved the previous summer and we ended up being neighbors. So we were like best friends by chance. I’m gonna be real with you, I honestly would have never been as close with her if we weren’t neighbors. But she never had her own opinion she always agreed with me. Now some people would be fine with that but I am not. It got annoying, it was like she had to make herself relatable to me so that I would stay friends with her. Which I get it everyone has insecurities. But she rarely ever tried to make any other friends and if she did they would never be good enough. And like I said she had to be relatable to me she had the same favorite colors and animals and same favorite food and sports teams. And I remember very clearly one time (not too long ago maybe a year) and I was telling her about something that had happened in one of my classes the day before and it had to do with how I prefer to eat my cereal. And I asked her how she likes to eat her cereal, and she said I don’t really care or know and I said that I prefer to eat mine dry and she barely letting me finish my sentence said that she loved to eat her cereal dry too. And fast forward to 7th grade when I tried out for basketball and she had always acted as if she had no intentions to try out for any sports as soon as I told her that I was trying out for basketball she did too. So she went to offseason with me and to open gyms and then when tryouts came around she found out she had to have her physical done and she never got it done. But she never really cared. And back in 5th grade I started playing the flute and she knew that obviously and the next year she was playing the flute. But she constantly complains about everything you have to do for band. And in 8th grade i tried out for a play and she just had to try out for it too and then we both got in but she didn’t memorize her lines, she had like five and they were the same thing repeated. And then debate season came along and I did that and so did she but she was always messing around and not doing what she was supposed to. Fast forward to when she decided to be one of my friends that is literally one of the sweetest girls in the world and she was friends with her too so that didn’t make sense. So I by this time was a little fed up with her so I started trying to remove myself from her. And I still kind of talked to her because it wasn’t a huge thing and my mom was like still be civil because she is your neighbor and then I found out she had been bullying one of my friends. This friend is very special to me and she has a lot going on in her life right now and she was friends with this person. And this person has always talked about how she was bullied. But i don’t understand why she would bully my friend because she knew what was going on and she supposedly was going through some stuff like that. Which i get it when people have things going on they change. And i totally get that. But then after I found out that she was bullying her I got mad. I did not confront her at all because I knew I would have done something I shouldn’t have. But she also at one point and time had tried to turn me against my friend. It did not work. But anyways all of my friends stopped talking to her and so did I. One time on the bus one of my friends asked why her and I weren’t friends anymore because he wasn’t really in the loop. And she said that she didn’t know why. And i got mad but I wasn’t going to say anything. Until my friend kept asking and she kept saying I don’t know. And I looked at her and said “well I really don’t like to be friends with someone who is happy about someone else losing a friend.” And she said she didn’t know what I was talking about. Long story short I said something about the thing that happened with my one friend, not the bullying because I would’ve hurt her and I’m not even joking. But anyways to the the point of all this I had introduced her to Shawn’s music and told her about him. I had been watching since MAGCON, through YouTube though because I didn’t have vine. So I have been there from the start almost. And she knew nothing about him until I told her. And the one thing I wanted this year was to go to the concert that was literally thirty minutes or less from where I live. But I couldn’t go because I was at my dad’s and we couldn’t afford it. It didn’t stop my mom from trying. And I know not being able to afford it is the case for a lot of people. But she is the only girl out of four kids so she gets away with a lot.  And she gets her way a lot and gets things she wants a lot. And she decided that she wanted to go to this concert too back when we were still friends. And then her parents got the tickets back when we were still friends and she always brought it up. And I had completely forgot that she had until the day of the concert when my mom had mentioned something about someone going that I probably wouldn’t want to know and I immediately knew it was her. And I cried. I cried because it wasn’t fair. Even though I knew so many others wanted to go too, and that life isn’t fair and that there is so many more problems in the world that mean more than me not getting to go to a concert. But I still cried. And for the last few days before it I was in a mood just because I was sad. Over something somebody has called “nothing”. But I want to know if I am petty for feeling that without me, she would never be there. She would have never wanted to. Am I a bad person for feeling this way? Am I being petty. I feel like I am, but I really don’t know.
