Some no pressure tags: @yawping-poets-society @rywritess @make-much-of-time idk I can’t think of any mutuals off the top of my head that I didn’t see above already, so like anyone I’m forgetting, very fond of you I promise I’m just having a lapse of memory rn, of course feel free to join in, open tags

I feel like making one of those uquiz and picrew chains with these random ones I found sooo

Take this quiz and find out what instrument you are and thennnn

make a lil guy with this picrew :))))

(As a viola player I’m VERY offended. So offended, offended beyond belief. But hey kitty :)) )

#bro idk how to feel about these results (they’re accurate like that’s not the issue) I’ve just wanted to play drums my whole life but Ive #never gotten the fortune of getting to learn and like it’s so sad cause literally the coolest person in every band is the drum player but #alas; in 4th grade when I asked to join school band I was told no; when I asked for a drum kit on Christmas lists I never got them; in 6th #grade when we bucket drummed that was the only thing I remember enjoying in music in all of middle school; every vacation we would go to a #hard rock and every time I would gravitate to the drum sticks and every time I was told I don’t play drums so why would I need drum sticks;#when I was 18 I told my dad I wanted to learn how to play drums and he told me drums is the worst instrument to play in a band cause you #gotta get there first and leave last cause you gotta assemble them so I haven’t brought it up much since but like this is the one longing #that hasn’t wained like every other thing I’ve shown interest in whether it be career or hobby I’ve gone through phases of thinking I don’t #like/ want it before circling back around to being like maybe I do actually but not drums this has been constant like drumming would be so #much fun and I love trying to keep beat and rhyme just with my fingers and mess around with timing and stuff and I’m so tempted to buy a #metronome so I can use it to learn and be more familiar with beat and mess around with timing so if I do learn how to play drums I can #have that skill already to keep tempo; but like bro I wouldn’t be able to get drums any time soon either cause drums and apartment walls #don’t mesh well but like literally some of my favorite characters all play drums like Gwen from spiderverse and hex girls and my favorite #book as a kid was about a girl who wanted to play drums (book was about her getting stuck repeating her birthday cause a local witch like #put a spell on the girl and this dude who she shares a birthday with that if they don’t talk to each other for a year then they get stuck #repeating the same day because their ancestors were feuding farmers and it messed up the town so they got the curse of having to repeat the #same day too until they got along so the witch tried to make sure the kids got along cause curse got passed to them but they got in a fight #on their last birthday and didn’t talk for a whole year and then got stuck repeating their birthday over and over but like she played drums #and that was a side storyline and like sure the book was about like friendship and forgiveness but like she liked to play the drums and it #was my favorite novel as a kid) but like yeah man these results are kinda bittersweet because on the one hand it makes me really happy to #be percussions because I love percussions and specifically drums but also it’s sad cause it reminds me that I never got to learn drums #tag games #picrew #uquiz #not dps
