The Free Design, "Kites Are Fun"

So, this is probably the twee-est song ever to crack the Top 40—well, the Top 40 Easy Listening chart, where it reached #33. Rolled into a sunshine-pop wrapper, the song is cast in the voice of a child who is extolling his very strong "like" for his kite:

"See my kite, it's fun. See my kite, it's green and white. Laughing in its distant flight. All that's between us is a little yellow string, But we like each other more than anything. And we run along together through the field behind my house. And the little drops of rain caress our face and wash my blouse…"

That's most of the verse, and it all reads very childlike in its description and expression, and we're chugging along hearing this twee narrative about liking the kite and running with the kite and...suddenly we hit:

"And we'd like to be a zillion miles away from everyone 'Cause Mom and Dad and Uncle Bill don't realize…

Kites are fun."

And suddenly, it's a whole different story. The child likes being alone with their kite because of the pressure they may be receiving from their parents...and "Uncle Bill." WTF is Uncle Bill? Is he actually one of the parents' siblings? Is he Mom's "special friend"? Is he Dad's "special friend"? Are Mom and Dad in a throuple with Uncle Bill? Clearly, ol' Uncle Bill is integrated enough into the child's life that he counts among the disciplinarians who are harassing him about his kite-flying. Is he a handsy, lap-horsey-ride kind of uncle, and is that why the child wants to be a zillion miles away from everyone?

So, yeah, an incredibly twee song with a real sting in its tail.

I noticed that among most of the main horst cast; they all have love interests (Wolf x Mako, Haunted x Fennec). With Red being the only one who doesn’t seem to have a clear love interest! So I was curious, will she ever get one or does she have one that we just don’t know about?

Red did originally have a love interest - Aurora, back when she was a young princess. This was scrapped for a buncha reasons and now Red Kite has no love interest. Which is maybe for the best

(outdated art under the cut)

#as to whether she’ll ever get one: i don’t knowwww #for now I’m afraid I’m just having fun pairing her off with various members of the Horst cast for shits and gigs #maybe I should do a red kite speed dating comic. for the girls #my art #oc art #bog talks #horst #wof art #wings of fire #dragon art #Wolf #red kite

Not sure if you're still doing doodle requests, but maybe Kite? I miss him, he deserved better (and don't even get me started on how the anime watered down his presence compared to the manga-).

Hopefully chimera ant kite is ok :]

#ive never drawn him and i just kinda felt it could be fun 💃#hunter x hunter #hxh #art #rqs #kite hxh

When I was in grade four a kid didn’t know something and everyone laughed. My teacher, with no anger in his voice, said “Hey, why are you all laughing?” And we said, “because they didn’t know.”

he said (and I’m paraphrasing all this because it’s been a long long time) “when someone doesn’t know something it just means that no one has ever told them, there’s no need to laugh. We just tell them and move on, because no one is born knowing things and people learn different information at different times.”

And I think about this a lot.

#That guy was amazing #One of the best teachers ever #Last time I saw him it was just by coincidence when I saw him flying a kite at the beach #genuinely just a really fun person and kind too #We had a lot of fun in that class
