Finally listened to Dylan Mulvaney's song and?? I don't get the negative hype about it, it was frankly a cute song. Also the "playin' catch-up 'cause we missed the pre-game" made me laugh, it was a good line. Dylan, you've done it again!

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #it just sounds like... a normal pop song. the only problem is the auto tune. i'm not against auto tune but whoever mixed it...#...did not make it seamless. i'm bad at recognizing auto tune but i could hear it #the thing that sucks is auto tune is now like... industry standard but nobody who is responsible for doing it seems to do it right #to me it's justa cute song about learning to appreciate and admire life and the women who helped. like it's pretty normal #i don't even follow dylan i just think she's. a relatively normal person as far as being a former theater kid can get you #if you were in theater or band your normal rating goes down at *least* a tier level. often more than one. ask me how i know.#anyway. listen to the song i think it's cute as hell. i'm always a sucker for songs about appreciation and gratitude

not sure if youve discussed drummer ava but like i think thats so perfect for her fr. get out all the energy. a reason for those fucking arms. also people who are both drummers and singers are so cool and talented fr i just love that and i think she could and would.

i agree with beatrice doing like polyphia level technical guitar its just so her overachieveing and detail oriented vibe

i am ROARING because Ava on drums would be incredible - exactly for getting all the energy out and there's something therapeutic about drums, both the act of just hitting something but also learning how to control and channel that energy, not to mention being able to listen to the empty space in order to keep time and to trust the rest of the band and have them trust her in turn - it's delicious, that is brilliant omg such a need for this now (i think i read a fic with drummer!Ava but honestly we need more. ohno. what have you done what have you done)

i can also see Beatrice going one of those explainer videos - maybe like those Wired "explain in 5 levels of difficulty" and every single one of the guests just falls in love with Beatrice, especially the 5th level who just completely nerds out along with her lololol

#i can see ava as a kid just infinitely entranced with sound in all its forms #making sounds and beats with anything and everything #busking on the street or in a subway station either by herself or with a band #ohno that's a meet-cute waiting to happen isn't it #beatrice coming back from idk maybe a shitty gig that her parents set up for her -not at all the type of music she actually wants to play #and she's feeling restless and frustrated and she hears this beat that expresses everything she's feeling #and finds ava there just in the zone #maybe she has a kit #maybe she has just idk plastic tubs but whatever it is #she's free #and beatrice envies her #longs for that feeling #and then she notices there's a sign on the floor next to ava that says #got an instrument? play with me!#and/or even got a voice? sing with me!#and beatrice has her guitar and she's like #why not. why the hell not #she still asks of course and ava of course says yes #and bea's tentative at first and ava reassures and coaxes her along #and then soon enough they're off to the races - beatrice's hands are a blur and her heart is on fire because this #*this* is what she loves about music and she hears ava laugh alongside her and she can't help but laugh as well #oh man i miss NY now #avatrice #jt answers

and if I did a cut crease to go boo cops and sweat outside a nightclub? so what

#I hope june is treating us all as well as it can 💖 💜#I'm experiencing some pride for sure but wrath is definitely winning out #selfies #personal #pride 2024 #it WAS worth it out there though I met the kindest moms of married lesbian daughters #and they showed me cat pics and then got teary-eyed about how perfect their kids were for each other #and this kid I used to mentor told me she's in university now and that she wouldn't be here without us #and a friend of mine played the main stage with her band and KILLED. and a cutie at pride market gave me free stickers. and and and

my mom decided to put on Sweeney Todd (she's never seen it before) and I'm here like oh boy

#the old 'did you know the kid who plays anthony hope also has a punk band now and played vecna in stranger things?' thing #doesn't work so well when she hasn't seen stranger things and doesn't like heavy music and doesn't know who tf jcb is lol #most of the things she's mentioned so far are. regrettably. terfy wizard movie references. which i get it with this cast but still

from another bigger wip (because I can keep nothing to myself) but do we have any thoughts on younger sophia (before kids & Sal & all that)??? I have many …. but more so fashion & personality-wise. I’m gonna do a little research on what it might have been like for her to grow up before she moved to America (and in the appropriate time period) because we know her stories can be a little Much Sometimes™️ but please!!! if anyone has any thoughts or experiences to share please doooo!!! I have 0 knowledge on the subject

#I think she was an awkward teen/young adult. and I think she projects / projected that secret insecurity onto Dorothy lots lol #(because Dorothy was an awkward teen/young adult as well. still not over the crushing info that dorothy was technically a band kid #but I digress)#and like. INCREDIBLY awkward. Dorothy was nothing compared to her #the golden girls #sophia petrillo #wip #art #artist #artists on tumblr #edit: I’m now remembering how many times shes mentioned having veey long hair when she was young. my mistake #I never know what to take literally with her lmao pretend her hair’s in one of those faux bobs girls often did at the time

There are two wolves inside me. One wolf wants to just let people have their fun, believing what they want. The other is feral and wants to tear apart the internet to source and direct link to every interview where Alex Hirsch says that Dipper is him as a child (with traits exaggerated), Mabel is his twin sister Ariel as a child (with traits exaggerated), Stan is their grandpa Stan (with traits exaggerated), and the show's premise is both a love letter to the childhood he spent with his sister and also, more specifically, the summers they would spend at their great-aunt's cabin, where they would be bored but required to keep daily journals and his would be stories he made up about encountering creatures and oddities in the woods around them. And this is all because the feral wolf is going to go from feral to savage if it sees one more post suggesting the actual core pillar of the show is Bill/Ford, rather than the found family (Alex Hirsch's own words!) the show is actually about, and the three based-on-real-people-including-Alex-himself characters in the middle of it.

#like i literally saw someone say Dipper and Mabel were just there to be viewpoint vessels and i was like #ARE YOU KIDDING ME #like did you know Dipper is obsessed with conspiracies bc Alex himself was to the point of debilitating anxiety #at the same time Ariel was having her boy band phase? oh look coinky-dink Mabel likes a boy band!#and gets a pet pig! guess what else? Ariel was so obsessed with pigs as a kid she had a WHOLE WALL OF PIG MERCH #A&A's grandpa Stan was an avid cigar smoker but that couldn't be shown on Disney so instead he gets a raspy voice #another fun fact from the DVD commentaries: Alex & Ariel did international level improv on high school #but the championship team only extended the offer to him. Ariel overheard and burst into tears #Alex IMMEDIATELY rejected the offer tho bc he wouldn't do it w/o his sister #sure sounds like Dip & Mabes to me! bc they are! (also inspired the conflict over Ford's apprenticeship!)#anyway i just. bill/ford is so funny but to say the pillar of the show is abt them? THEM???#FORD WASN'T EVEN IN THE PLANS ORIGINALLY . . . AND WHEN HE WAS HE WAS A HIPPIE . . .#AND THE CIPHER WHEEL ORIGINALLY MEANT NOTHING . . .#AND WHEN ALEX WAS HIRED BY DISNEY HE REMEMBERS THEM SAYING #''we'll let you make your show about you & your sister & your grandpa if . . .''#IT'S ABT HIM HIS SISTER AND HIS GRANDPA!!!!#(i guess he's just closer to his grandpa than his grauntie lol sorry grauntie . . . lois i think her name was. is?)#anyway i'm done now #gravity falls

shoutout to people with dads who are part of Gen X who introduced them to the best music of their generation when their dads were kids in the 70s-80s (it's me i'm people) (i love my dad <3)

#also shoutout to my 80s mum who has the best taste in metal and rock ever <3 #for fun here's a list of artists my dad introduced me to when i was young: queen. the beatles. electric light orchestra. the monkees. acdc.#-jeff wayne and his orchestra. led zepplin. pink floyd. toto. billy joel. europe. guns n roses. weird al. abba. beegees. tom jones.-#-david bowie. michael jackson. king crimson. roar.#my parents have such good music taste #also i love how my dad is mostly 70s 80s rock and stuff and then my mum is just like full on rob zombie #my music taste has basically been inherited from 3 places and 3 places only: my mum my dad and the internet #also fun fact: according to my dad i used to fall asleep to acdc when i was a small child #it was the song ''she's got the jack'' specifically #progressive rock makes me really relaxed to. i have probably been lulled to sleep by pink floyd many times as a tiny child #dude started my music taste young #my dad liking prog rock is probably the reason i like bands like yes and tangerine dream now #also 70s rock is just so. gender?????#maybe the reason 70s-80s music gives me so much gender euphoria is because it reminds me of my dad #anyway yeah shoutout to 70s-80s music #ALSO shoutout to the movies tommy and hairspray and little shop of horrors because my parents showed me them too!!#i really grew up as an 80s-90s kid with 70s music tastes living in the mid 2000s lmao

"I'm just saying that your kid's got some problems-" don't. you. ever say that about craig again. sharon. or the chainsaw is coming for you

#do u mind sir? we want to watch kyle #and stan play #. ....... .. shes not completely wrong :skull::#buut still #they all see craig as a big bad influence and a troublemaker when the craziest thing he does is flip off everyone #for whatever reason. he doesnt know why he does this either. but besides that he seems actually polite #uhmmm the evidence? i dont really have it bt like he did politely ask randy in quitar queero while the other kids were screaming at him to #laura says in pandemic that craig disappearing from the house suddenly isnt like him at all #which doesnt necessarily pprove anything hbut...... im graspong at straws #in the same episode though like the m4 were like “hey since u got 100 dollars wanna invest in our peruvian flute band?”#and even though he saw through them. said “you guys never hang out with me. but now that ive got a 100 dollars you want me in your band”or #smth like that cartman tells him “craig dont be an asshole.” and in sorta a depressed tone he just says “ill go get the money.”#idk i have a slight feeling he #whatever #craig tucker #sp #south park

I have a very important question

#surveys #uhhh #game design #musical instruments #video games #I've been thinking about this for weeks #ever since I had this conversation with my sister #oh wait #band kids #I summon thee. your opinions are important for this I think #this happened because I was talking to my sister about a game with people who can do magic #through music and I was thinking fast travel would be flute music cause I’m biased #but she thought that drums would fit better because she’s biased but also I can kinda see her point #so I was looking into it a bit and found out there’s this trope called warp whistle #which includes any woodwind instrument which is good because I’m not sure if whistles count as an instrument or not? something to think abou #thats how tv tropes describes a warp whistle anyway #anyway that would also include flutes but now that I’ve thought about it more I’ve found some other options that I like which basically puts #me back at square one #so any input at all is greatly valuable to me #I did also consider an ocarina but that felt a little too Zelda-y

love when things go wrong in such a way that if you get annoyed about it you seem petty and ridiculous. someone spilled my juice and no one will admit to it 😡

#it was helping me feel better and i didn't get to drink much and now it is just me and my anti nausea bands against the world #(they aren't helping as much)#coworkers granddaughter is here and she's 6 years old so everyone else blamed her first #then she said it was my other coworker (not her grandmother) and its like. if it was my coworker (woman in her 50s) weird to blame a child?#if it was the 6 year old then i understand her not wanting people to be mad at her she's a kid idc #i just feel crappy and want this day to be over 😭

Soo...... are we all just gonna forget about everything she did? Cool. Cool. Cool......

#LOVE when a band releases more music and people conveniently forget all of the shit thats happened #like i havemt been part of this fandom in AWHILE specifically because people continue to romanticize that god forsaken relationship #but the last thing i remember happening years ago was an actual physical abuse situation this guy was in #now ppl are posting videos with the abuser climbing that boy like a pole #youre kidding. right?#people will see a cis white woman being slightly weird and then defend her with their lives. thats an abusive piece of shit u have right #there but. go off i guess #if you know me you know what band this is about #if you dont know DONT dig theres a fucking reason im not tagging or putting names #last i remember her fans doxxed someone. so.#people like to act like the only reason you can hate this chick is bc youre jealous she has a relationship with a pretty boy #girl i dont want your sadboy twink. i just dont want you SLAPPING SOMEONE DRUNKENLY IN PUBLIC ?????#anyways i wish the rest of the band got some attention bc the actual music sounds rlly good #the entire reason i left the fandom is bc the stans of both that dude and the chick hes with.

am finally back home and can say without a doubt that i am just fundamentally not built for long distance travel however the train was much nicer than planes

#that being said. pressurized cabins drive me insane a little bit #and also it gives you pretty intense sea legs for a While #like. the ones from the first trip hadnt gone away by the return one. so. might be stuck with that for a few days #we shall see #also ajr live fucks severely #the albums were already incredible but that was a goddamn religious experience #like. idk the way i think abt it is theyre more djs than a regular band esp w their performance showing the making of way less sad #like their music is very electronic‚ theyre making mixes of their own sound effects more than singing in one go #so like. the vocals were a teeensy bit rough at times #notably times it has taken me Literally Hundreds Of Hours Practice to be able to consistently sing along with #and times ive found its literally physically impossible to like. no matter what #idc how big your lungs are‚ there is no human on earth who can do that final run of karma in one breath #much less to An Entire Stadium After An Hour Of Jumping And Dancing And Singing Loud As Fuck #so like i dont blame them for that‚ you dont go to live shows expecting it to be 100% perfect anyways jwbdjsbfksb #the trumpet however. well she was certainly playing sometimes. and was very enthusiastic about her flares.#however. in most of their songs they use midi trumpets to my ear at least #meaning she was likely an addition specifically for live performances and in my personal band kid opinion #prooobably was not in any of the like. higher tier bands? idk just. a lot of the mistakes she was making were hitting as stuff that got #taught out of us the instant we joined any band beyond regular concert #so i would guess she was probably just like. a friend who happened to play trumpet in high school or maybe even just middle school #and they knew that the trumpet parts in their pieces were big and distinct enough that like they /had/ to get a live player #and just kinda. didnt anticipate the audition -> performance gap #like. her tone was really fried the whole time like she was playing as hard as possible #which. she was mic'd. have the sound guy turn her up.#the way they did it made it sound like she was using a mute but not. like she only got the bad parts of a mute from it yknow #her tempo and timing were. bad. theres no nice way to put that one it just Was Bad‚ like the trumpet runs in ajr songs arent. complicated #like. quite literally if you handed me the sheet music right now i would have it down perfect in a week at absolute most #and better than that player on sightread. like. we did so many sightreading drills.#like ill share my band kid creds if anyone cares but i need to emphasize this isnt me being braggy like. they genuinely just arent hard #fuck im out of tags. w/e i think only like one of yall also listens to them anyways so i can leave it there

I'm watching the new Sad Boyz episode and Jarvis has been talking about Fall Out Boy for thirty minutes and I'm juuust. not enjoying it

#I hate FOB #I'm so sorry I wish I didn't and I feel bad for it #but oh my god I hate them so much #the second concert I went to was a FOB concert. I was like 13 or 14 I guess?#anyway I was an emo kid so I did kinda like them #but they were my best friend's favourite band so I wasn't allowed to REALLY like them #but she wanted to go to the concert so I had to too.#it was a horrible experience and I had a huge panic attack because we got pushed close to the mosh pit and I couldn't move #because I was a TINY teenage girl #and I genuinely thought I was gonna die.#idk what little I saw of the show was good I think. but the fans really fucking sucked. like damn you have to be an asshole if you see #basically A KID full on sobbing and still not help them get out or anything or stop pushing and all that.#soo yeah idk it was all around just a horrible day and I haven't listened to their music since and I get really anxious when I think about #them.#funny thing is the next concert I went to after that was with my little brother and that same friend. it was a shitty german rapper #that I can't stand. BUT the fans there were so damn lovely to us. they looked out for us the whole time and everything. maybe because they #were mostly older idk #man I really hate concerts now though.#BUT I love Jarvis and I will keep watching the episode and it's fine and hopefully they'll move on soon....#personal

bro he is literally just laying there saying whatever in their head talking about anything and everything but not sleeping.

#thinking about junior high #specifically it started with me saying i should relearn the clarinet i should get one again #then somehow to getting stuff i missed from teachers 'before or after class' because they were busy or i didn't want to be late for class #then to how i was usually on time so i had like no reason to worry #except for pe because i had math all the at the bottom of the junior high hallway then pe at the entire other end of the school #and we had to change but he was pretty lenient and i was usually one of the first kids out #also how most of us left our stuff in the locker room and not the lockers because they were a hassle and somehow we never had any theft #then i thought about how this kid next to my actual locker in fifth grade (no locks) took one of my pokemon magnets im pretty sure #and i never got it back #then i remembered another thing that happened in the fifth grade hallway #where that guy i had a crush on gave me a golf ball he found in his bookbag #well he asked if i wanted it and i said yes (like having things and liked him) and im pretty sure it stayed in my bookbag the entire year #if i knew which bookbag i used that year and if i still had it it might still be in there tbh #also when i was thinking about band i couldn't think of my study hall in 8th because i quit and then suddenly i membered #and idk how i forgot she was like my fav teacher and i had so much fun cus my 2 best friends (like the waterparks song?) were also in it #and since it was like the end of the day she let us like talk and mostly do what we wanted if we didn't have any late work #and me and andi probably spent like 75% of it doodling our little oc guys #i think our other friend spent a lot of it drawing aswell.#wait. now that i think about it. was she in our study hall? doubting myself all of a sudden.#yeah she was because we walked home together and i dont remember waiting in the hall for her or anything #i do remember that when me and her were still in band andi came and got us basically because we always took our time #i miss them :(#winona has something to say

me, wistfully: i know it's not going to happen but what if charlie just died in this episode and it's about the band now

#honestly i think my issue is that charlie seems like kind of a dirtbag when she first shows up #but she's actually way too moral and Right about everything to not get on my nerves #so: ruby ruin(s) is my new dirtbag woman now i want her to have everything her heart desires #poker face live blog #also i fucking hate that the band who is stuck working retail and going through Poor Struggles #are Hack Has-Beens Who Don't Deserve Anything #and the kid who went to Juilliard #was REAL METAL and the BEST and HOW DARE
