question, is there a way i can learn more about SUNFLOWER SONG . its such a great song and i want to know more about it and story behind it, cause the description is very interesting
it's from The Spread, which is a music project I was going to do as my final graduate project before i moved to working on Aisling Green (which was a much less ambitious project, i'm glad I switched!). It's a set of 22 songs, all themed after the major arcana cards of the tarot deck, with several interlocking absurdist plotlines. Sunflower Song was #3 (the Empress), and one of the only songs I managed to draft fully before I switched projects.
Hopefully I can come back to working on the Spread eventually! It's a bit of a weird project (inspired a lot by Ghost Quartet, actually) and would require a lot more external assistance from various musicians and singers to pull together properly, but I'm not discounting it entirely. At the very least, if/when I do manage to finalize other songs from the project, I'll throw them up onto Youtube too. Probably out of order.
Sorry for double posting but APPARENTLY those commission scammers have showed up on Tumblr at least for the first time for me.
For those who don’t know what I am talking about, there were/are commission scams going on in Instagram and even places like Artstation where people would pretend to be interested in your work and try to commission a pet or portrait for the sake of trying to get your bank details. Here’s how to (somewhat) sniff them out:
1- They don’t seem to be an average customer/ person that would be involved in your fandom, or has a blank template for an account or don’t even follow you.
2- They ask you to draw a portrait or a pet picture either for themselves or their children/family.
3- They promise to overpay you (in the hundreds) and do not listen to you even if you firmly state the price is cheaper.
4- They are constantly asking for your email name, or private details regarding things like banking details or passwords or other private information others should not know.
5- They try and over reassure you they mean no harm, try to guilt you into giving them the info, or become aggressive over you not giving them what they want.
What should you do if you come across one of these guys?
My best advice is to block and report. Sadly these people jump account to account so there isn’t really much to do other than spread this info to prevent artists from being scammed.
Hey, if you have half a minute and care about the LGTBQIA+ community in the EU, I'd suggest you take a look at this initiative to ban conversion therapies in the EU.
1 million people are required to sign, but there's barely 100k. The form takes less than a minute, it only requires your ID, name and surname.
Please, help spread the initiative so that it can reach the goal ASAP! If you're not from the EU and can't sign, at least reblog! Thanks in advance.
when my local friendgroup hit our late 20's/early 30's we all metamorphosed into ancient romans and/or redwall characters bc now whenever we have 'get togethers' ppl are always bringing over cheeses and crusty breads and cured meats and olives and grapes and ales etc
