back to sketching more bill fashion designs ⚠️
#gravity falls#bill cipher#costume design#so this one would be Complex#its highly inspired by the ziegfeld follies. specifically all the costumes with the big wireframe headdresses and capes and such#the dress itself is inspired by a 1960s barbie dress thoughf djksla solo in the spotlight#i remembered it and was like hey that frill at the bottom hem is vaguely triangular. put it to print.#im not quite sure yet how id make the extra arms. some sort of strong wire attached... somehow to the dress#the attachment point could be hidden by the gold frills#might have to include some kind of boning in the dress as a counterbalance on the arms#and also learn how to sew a dress :/#the things dangling from the neckpiece are just little beaded strands with a tiny golden hand hanging at the end#oddly enough the giant lace neckpiece would be the easiest part of this design to make😭😭#next up: the monster bill design#that ones gonna be a sparkly red jumpsuit. think esmes skiing outfit from netflix asoue but with more teeth and tongues#fluffle art#fashion design#im getting serious about planning a fashion show with these designs now. im gonna buckle down at the start of december and research venues#if any of yall live in nyc and know how to play jazz percussion hmu jfkldsa#bc i WILL be playing trumpet in a live jazz band if i end up doing this show. and yes i will be wearing an eyeball costume while i play.#and i need a percussionist. and maybe a sax player. and possibly a bassist.

Been trying to get back into music so like anyone else, I picked banjo back up. As in I'm truly trying to learn it. Which is hard when you're stubborn and already have a grasp on music in so many ways but what you need for banjo (like, say, remembering any scale other than C cuz I was a trumpet player). I did jazz for 6 years and I only know the C scale.
Anywho, slowly learning Coal Eyed Birds but its hard cuz there's guitar over some of the banjo parts and I'm shit at learning by ear. Catch me in a year when I try again and maybe get a measure or two further.
#Wish I tried at music more when I had a structured environment#Wish music classes in high school actually taught me something#Wish banjo was encouraged the way any brass woodwind string or percussion instrument is#My school had an accordion and we played a song with an accordion#legends of avantris#edge of midnight#the crooked moon#over the garden wall#banjo player

#the older I get the more I’m floored by Charlie’s ability to do his job as he did while having a migraine issue#I have a congenital migraine disorder#and even though I haven’t had an attack in a while#when I took a train down to [redacted big city] to visit one of my best friends on Monday#I woke up a 1 am Tuesday morning thinking I’d had a stroke or something#because an entire side of my face wouldn’t move#then about 30 seconds later the burning pain and nausea came and I knew exactly what it was#which is how I spent the next 8 hour passed out on her bethroom and bedroom floor as every pain med we tried did nothing (my prescription#migraine meds stopped working about 4 months ago)#and then I. a 23 year old woman. had to call my mom at her work and ask her to send my dad the 3.5 hour drive to pick me up#I’ve been in bed ever since we got home#so the fact that he was not only able to work through that. but to never miss a show when he was the one playing a percussion instrument#and always sitting next to Keith’s (the loudest player’s) amps#is insane to me#no wonder Keith mentioned it in Life#it’s just entirely another level of dedication

man. < listening to the rusty lake paradise ost
#libra.txt#the subtle drumbeat in the tenth plague that mirror the heavier drum in paradise will rise again....#it's SUCH a good touch#water well.... the light percussive block that mimics water dripping.....#each plague's theme is also just SO good#i love the first plague and how it adds to the atmosphere#in how we the player are first being introduced to paradise island but also jakob remailiarising himself with it#it's a gentle theme. it hides the horror and tragedy to come#also how the last plague + paradise will rise again are the only tracks that have the effect where it sounds almost like a woman's voice#which could lead one to think abt caroline and her corrupted soul and how she desperately wanted jakob to survive.#how she had spent so long trying to protect him but now she's /dead/ and can barely influence the living world#but when jakob embraces her corrupted soul they're reunited and can become enlightened. together. she still saves him in the end#GAH. the dead mom trope where she still haunts the narrative except she's LITERALLY haunting the narrative#hi caroline i am thinking abt you again. whoops

Hearing loss sucks. Tinnitus sucks. Wear ear protection kids (and adults - I have finally started wearing ear plugs to concerts now that I'm in my 30s and dealing with consequences).
#to be fair some blame can be put on how grench horn players are seated directly in front of the percussion section#sitting in front of the timpani during mahler or next to the bass drum is probably not great for my hearing#although my partner has it worse somehow even though he goes to fewer shows and quit band

One of my middle schoolers told me "yeah you look like someone who plays percussion" during tech and as a primarily wind player I don't know how I feel about that.
#i mean she was right kinda#i play percussion for marching band#mostly because all our percussionists have other commitments during pride so cant march with us#but still#as a mostly low brass player#thems fightin words

actually im trans bc when i was like 7 i was told i couldn't play the drums in guitar hero bc i was a girl so i decided not to be one out of spite
#no but that actually made me so mad back then 😭#i was so pissed i got put on singing instead of drums i wanted to play drums so badly#and then when i was 12 i joined the percussion section out of spite and i was one of Two Entire Girls in the group#but whenever i said i was in band ppl were like 'oh you play flute? clarinet maybe?' no im the only competent xylophone player here

Imagine you're in middle school band class and your teacher asks you and your classmates if anyone wants to use their mp3 player to play a song before class ends. no one does anything until this small quiet girl from percussion takes her ipod out to play a song.
Then the song Chop Suey! By System Of A Down and the girl looks like this;
Because she thought it was a good song to play.
#I DID THAT BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD SONG TO PLAY#doodle#other#this has been a core cringe memory for me but it's also so fucking funny

the freshman wind players are so silly
#the new percussionists look like grown ass men and im afraid of them#and one of them i like weirdly know? he was hanging out in the woods cuddling with his girlfriend at my cousins fourth of july party#his dad brought him he wasnt just creeping around but it was so weird#cause no one knew he even had a gf let alone knew she was coming#and they didnt interact with anyone other than eachother#they fr sat on a bench in the woods and occasionally walked around the driveway and then sat back down#it was fucking bizarre#there were also like super touchy it was weird#they were literally like in eachothers laps on this little rickety bench thats infested with bugs (i dont think they we aware of this)#but anyways#this isnt about him#its about the wind players#theyre cool and funny and i quite like them 👍#the percussion section is prob gonna kill them for their shenanigans though#they stacked all there drums in a very hazardous tower#post posting#their**#i know grammar i promise
