hi !! i went to tit the other night and i never heard anything about updated tickets so im assuming its a they reach out to u situation and if u don't hear that means u didn't get upgraded, as for queueing the venue i went to the line was insane and spanned almost 3 blocks but moved very quickly, i got there about half hour before so im not sure if people were waiting long or if it was bc of the venue that the line ended up being that long (but for a seated event i don't see much point hanging around too long before since the only thing it rlly gets u is early access to merch maybe if ur first in (and speaking of merch if u want any i checked it out after the show and they were out of photo cards but seemed to have good stock of everything else -- and a lot of people went during intermission which was about 30 min i think)) i also saw people waiting at the stage door afterwards but i didn't wait so im not sure if d+p interact with people who do that or not but there was a good amount of people waiting so maybe they do? have fun when u go !!

hi, thank you so much for all of this, kiera!! my show is tomorrow and i’m so nervous but so excited ahh!! appreciate all the info and i hope your show was wonderful!!

hi! back with more metaphor stuff and off anon in case u don’t want this inevitably long message on ur blog (sorry in advance!)!

I definitely do not mind talking about my thesis more !! My research is psych based and is investigating the roles of different cognitive functions in people’s abilities to come up with creative/original metaphors (as apposed to “conventional” metaphors which are basically stock phrases in language. think “moving at the speed of the sun over the sky” vs “moving at the speed of a snail”) – I can go into that a lot more but that’s my mini elevator pitch (I don’t want to overwhelm you but if u want me to get more into it I can def do that!)

as for the article I referenced before I need to correct myself that it wasn’t actually an article it was from a book chapter (same authors, year, and topic though) and the rate is not /minute its /100 words (which another article I have read recently had converted to a per/minute rate hence my mistake – but if I’m recalling THAT correctly, it works about to being about a minute anyway). Unfortunately, neither the book or article (Both Pollio et al., 1977) are open access, but the article is I think a fairly accessible read and has similar stats to the book so if you are still interested a pdf link could potentially somehow appear in ur inbox in the near future through unknown means.

an alternate, open-access article recommendation that talks about metaphor usage in general (though from more of a mechanics approach than functional approach) is Banaruee et al., 2019 “Reasons behind Using Metaphor: A Cognitive Perspective on Metaphoric Language” (neuroquantology . com/media/article_pdfs/108-113 . pdf). It’s a pretty short read that I think is fairly accessible even if you don’t have a psych background.

ps. I love your metaphor <3 and sorry this is so long !!

don't be sorry, you're speaking exactly my language!! AND I love giving you a showcase to talk about something that matters to you!

I wonder what falls under the umbrella of "different cognitive functions" in your research (I'm a psych newbie) -- are we talking things like memory, attention, language centres, etc?? It would be very cool to see which parts of the brain 'light up' when making metaphors. def feel free to message me privately w more details (I'm curious! this is so cool!) but also you don't have to do school in your spare time if you don't want to 😅

you are SO doing your due diligence with citations and corrections right now, this is all very endearing 😆 I pulled up the Banaruee (a pithy 5 page count, tysm) and had a bit of a skim -- it's so neat to think about a nice punchy metaphor schematizing/economizing information, like a little communication hack/shortcut! I like that they make literary metaphor its own distinct category too: connective, submerging, psychological, aesthetic, and not especially cognitive at all lmao

(if another pdf were to fall from the sky I would of course safely recover it)

and my god! your second message! I really can't believe you're apologizing for sending something so heartfelt 💜 I'm so happy to have written something that stuck with you like that (the ultimate achievement!), what an honour to reside somewhere up there in your cognition :')

now I have to ask who the band is; it's always such a trip to hear what Ausreißer sounds like to people. little band from my brain.

thank you for humouring me kiera, you're very cool and very kind, and now I'm a big fan of you too!!

hiiii just wanted to say that once upon a time when you were posting your rock band au of aftg someone sent you an ask saying they imagined the sound of the band as nothing but thieves and since then i've been listening to them i see them live tomorrow! what a funny way to discover new music that i could never explain to anyone ever! anway i miss your writing and i hope you're having a good day!

man this is so extremely special, and also I'm wildly jealous!!

I was just chatting with @heapstone (who may or may not be the original ask-sender) about how they associate Ausreißer with nbt, and how I've ALSO had that connection ringing in my ears for years now (I even write/edit listening to their albums), all because I read some books that inspired a fic that inspired an nbt fan to send me an ask—and now you fit into that chain as well!!

just really cool really silly stuff. the idea that I've somehow facilitated this art synthesis between a little clubhouse of nbt/aftg fans is so sincerely touching ❤️

have such a blast at the show, you'll have to think rockband au thoughts for me so I can be there in spirit 🙏🏻🤘🏻
