#i played flute and piano

[operationandre]

as we know, cal was involved in the band program at his school (i love that for him as a band kid myself)

do you think andre ever showed up to any performances of cals?

(i like to think andre teases cal for being in band but shows up to his concerts to support and watch him while he plays :3 )

i’m a (former) band kid too!!

i think andre came to all of them unless they interfered with track practice. that rarely happened, though, because the school would schedule concerts that don’t conflict with anything. cal used to tell him he didn’t have to come to concerts and would avoid telling andre when they were because he was embarrassed. he gave up on that quickly because andre would find out either way.

andre totally teases him for it. he teases cal after every rehearsal they have, but cal knows he doesn’t mean it. andre is honestly jealous he can’t play anything while cal can play both guitar and sitar.

normally andre takes cal out to eat after a concert, but once they start dating, andre brings him flowers. of course, he doesn’t bring them in. he keeps them in his backseat and hands them to cal as soon as they get in the car. even though he gets cal flowers every time, cal still gets excited and thanks him endlessly.

andre thinks cal is brilliant. the music is cool too.

one of my favorite little television/film gags is the old 'actor pretends to be bad at acting because the character can't act' chestnut but there's also it's rarer variant 'actor who is fluent in a language or musical instrument or athletic feat pretends to be only mediocre at it because the character can't do it but waaaay underneath these layers you can tell they're actually pretty good at it and have only a vague understanding of what it's like to not be able to speak russian, or play the piano, or ride a horse' and this is a very specific sort of trope but i LOVE it like. yippeeeeee

so we established a while ago with this poll that 80% of us are multilingual and quite a few of us would make bojan 'languages georg' cvjetićanin proud. but what about musical instruments?

note: i am including singing as an instrument and when i say can play i mean can play *well*/to a good standard, but not necessarily trained

put in the tags what instruments!

Initially this was just going to be a series of really rough sketches, but the more I stared at it, the more it kept growing..?

I have no concept of reasonable project scopes <:'D

so far, we’ve seen charlie spring play drums in ‘heartstopper’ and teen play guitar in ‘agatha all along’ (not counting his amazing vocals on broadway)

[starryfox0]

i have the strong urge to learn every single instrument existing in my house. which are many

[not-poignant]

t/f game: I assume you tried to learn at least one musical instrument in you life

True!

I can play flute and piano, or perhaps I should say I was fluent in these languages but haven't been for a while, lol. I also can sing, but never did that in an orchestra or band, like I have with the former.

From the true/false meme!

The ongoing rap discourse is really funny to me because like. Music is not a universal language. That's a stupid cliché. People like stuff that sounds kinda like stuff they've heard before because their brains already know how to process it. British people were super racist about it during the whole empire gambit. Now things spread more easily and people listen to a lot more variety of stuff than they used to, but there are still variables by language, region, platform, and, yes, class and race.

So you want to earn discourse points by listening to rap. Cool! Good, even! Expand your horizons! Start with some simple things. But also, you're making the assumption that all black or even non-white music is Black American music, maybe you'd like music from Saharan cell phones, or kalimba, or goto, or...

Maybe you want to earn discourse points by telling other people to listen to rap, and that they're bad people for not doing so. O-kay... but you're also losing discourse points by not considering neurodivergence, because the mental barrier to trying a new music can be significantly higher or even physically painful depending on your divergence.

You can't win the discourse war, guys. And you usually have more luck getting people to try things by being enthusiastic and providing links.
