Saying it louder for the crafters in the back

No one is entitled to a handmade gift

I REPEAT

NO ONE IS ENTITLED TO A HANDMADE GIFT

If you don't want to make something but feel obligated to for whatever reason, before you do please consider that regardless of your skill level your time is valuable. I don't care if you just learnt to knit, just picked up a crochet hook for the first time, you're a shitty guitar player, a new painter, just started woodworking, first time sewing or whatever it is that you do- your time. is valuable.

Handmade gifts are something you devote energy and PASSION into if someone in your life won't appreciate that effort don't waste your energy making them something.

Don't get me wrong, handmade presents for close friends and family are great, it's a really good way to show someone you care about them by making something INSANELY personal however, in my experience it can be a slippery slope.

If someone keeps demanding you make them something without proper compensation for your time, labour, skill and CREATIVE SOUL don't let them pressure you into it

Handmade gifts are fun when you know the receiver will appreciate your work OR when you really enjoyed making it and aren't too worried on their reaction.

Not everyone deserves one and not everyone wants one and that's okay. Just remember that at the end of the day, if you didn't enjoy making it why bother? I'm not sure if this is a controversial take or not but thanks for coming to my little rant

Sincerely, a pushover who has made a few too many obligatory gifts and now has wrist pain from crocheting

[julygirl67]

Ive always been the one to let them go now that I saw you I cant let you go impatient i cant maintain control wanting to be near you anticipation you are magnetic and hypnotic my desire for you is intoxicating and mezmorizing when Im in your arms and I gaze into your eyes drowning into you into your charms feeling your warmth givs me chills i let my words spill as I fall weak and say something stupid like I love you

Cosmic Songtress

The distance separating her from the stars faded into a shimmering haze, a mere backdrop to the magic of her performance

When she sang, her voice transformed into a vivid tapestry of storytelling, weaving tales that danced among the celestial spheres

An astral songstress had emerged in the cosmos, captivated by the stars in their untamed glory

They responded to her, their brilliance igniting the night sky, casting a mesmerizing glow that reached deep into her being, overwhelming her senses with their radiant embrace

As she aligned herself with their dazzling shimmer, her lips parted, releasing notes that soared like ethereal whispers

Her voice, clear as crystal and infused with a soothing balm, called out to the stars and their celestial neighbors, drawing them closer

Each melodic phrase rolled like waves across an ocean, enhanced by the starlit glint that amplified her gentle sound

With infectious joy, she sang her ethereal melody, a harmonious engagement that stirred the very fabric of the universe

So enchanted was she by her voice that she hardly noticed the Milky Way joining in, a tapestry of stars weaving their song alongside hers

She sparkled, bathed in a silvery light that seemed to connect her with everything above

COSMIC SONGSTRESS

(Her love for singing cuts through the obscuring shadows, illuminating the path for wandering souls, leading them safely into the silvery embrace of dawn)

COSMIC SONGSTRESS

(Her voice weaves seamlessly with the celestial beauty of Orion and its radiant belt)

As she continued her cosmic serenade, her vocals grew richer, layered with an additional wave of soothing rhythm that enveloped her audience in a starlit lullaby

Each note acted like a balm, easing the burdens they carried and washing away their uncertainties

Her serene melodies took away the doubts and pains of wandering souls, extending a gift that transcended her fears

Though the act of singing tormented her spirit at times, her voice remained the spellbinding allure that enchanted stars across the galaxy

The radiant beings were captivated not just by her vocal prowess, but also by the ethereal beauty she emanated

As she drifted through the vastness of space, her song approached its climax, gradually enveloping the stars in a soft twilight

The brilliance around her began to dim slightly, a gentle indicator of the concluding crescendo

With a deep inhale followed by a sharp exhale, she summoned her powerful vocals for a resounding bridge that resonated through the heavens, transforming her song into a melody that beckoned all who wished to listen

COSMIC SONGSTRESS

(Her passion for singing pierces through the thickest shadows, Her voice illuminating the path for wandering souls as they seek the warmth of light during the enchanting starlit hour)

COSMIC SONGSTRESS

(Her passionate melodies slice through the deepest shadows, echoing through the stellar tapestry, each note sparkling like the stars in its brilliant belt)

The notes flowed serenely from her lips, a beautiful tapestry of sound that resonated in harmony with the night

Despite the weight of the astral pressure upon her form, her unwavering passion for song conquered every physical strain

The air was thick with the lovely effluvium of her vibrations, filling the night with an enchanting aura

The night felt intimate as if she were tethered to the stars themselves

And in this moment, it was her night—a time for her voice to be heard, unmatched, and unshared

She’s the enchanting songstress of the cosmos, weaving melodies that resonate through the starry expanse and capturing the essence of cosmic beauty

She will eternally be celebrated among the stars, her voice is like a shimmering beacon of light, and her light shining brilliantly will forever illuminate the night sky with her timeless essence with a brilliance that touches the hearts of all who look up, a lasting tribute to a remarkable spirit

I never knew a part of you you didn't set in ink, in ink

[iguessthisisanewobsession]

It was quite a shock when Damian had asked his brothers for assistance in a project for his advance music theory class.

It was a unspoken knowledge that music was a part of the Wayne family.

If they didn’t have an affinity for an instrument then it was singing and if not singing dancing.

Almost everyone who came into the family had some sort or knack and those who hadn’t picked it up along the way.

Damian was the most uninterested members when he had joined the family so it was quite a shock when he demanded help this morning.

Testing out the drums Jason shared a look with the others before asking,

“So why did you need all of us to begin with? You’re not recording or anything right?”

Damian let out a tch as for himself ready,

“Not right now, but I felt it imperative to go over my composition at least once altogether, in case I felt the need to add.”

The kid continued to tune the ukulele in his hands.

It was a strange choice for the ex assassin but when questioned he merely claimed it was due to it’s size being easier to travel with.

“Well I think it’s an interesting choice in lead instrument baby bird!”

Dick claimed as he played with his maraca while glancing over his sheet music.

“I think it will go nicely with the your lyrics! But I do have to ask-“

“I made the lyrics very clear.”

“And you did! But-“

Damian gave a glare as Dick took a seat.

“I will cut out the maracas, do not test me Richard.”

Tim gave a snort from his place slumped over the piano,

“Just be glad you got to see the vocal sheet music, he just annotated the places he wanted me to harmonize with you.”

“Yeah we’ll you kind of have to be more focused my your hands than anything else.”

Silence fell as they finished their warm ups and Damian began to strum his cords.

The eldest watched as the others raised their eyebrows at the tempo and of the tune but came just the the same.

“I lost my cool, I’m not sure how to act, not even sure how I can keep my pride intact.”

Jason felt his eyebrows raise at the lyrics as Dick and Tim started their backup harmonies.

“No, I'm not falling for you, so please have mercy on me

'Cause it's not romantic, I swear I'm not gasping for air

I want you to be here, but please don't come near

'Cause even though I'm pretty sure my head's exploding

I'm not ready for hand holding

It's not love, I swear It might be closer to despair.”

The first interlude began and Jason shot an incredulous look at Dick. Was this the demon brat? Were they sure he hadn’t been replaced in the night with some sappy clone?

Dick for his part tried to convey to younger brother to just keep playing.

“No, I don't want want you to teach me how to dance Get your heart away from me, you'll put me into a trance

And even though I think about you day and night

I'm not sure if this whole love thing sounds quite right”

Tim craned his neck as the chorus started again, to look at Damian and nearly fell off his stool when he realized that there was blush on the younger’s face.

‘Who in god’s name has somehow wiggled their way past the kid’s defenses?!’

Damian, for his part was refusing to look in the other’s direction as he powered through to the last verse.

“Cause even though I'm pretty sure my head's exploding

I'm not ready for hand holding

It's not love, I swear

It might be closer to despair”

Crooning the last notes to the song, Damian seemed to take a moment to gather himself before quickly striking last note and letting the room fill with silence.

No one seemed to know how to react after such a performance for a second.

Then Dick tried to clear the frog in his throat and the moment was over.

“Baby bird-“

“Cease your prodding, this was for a school project and nothing more.”

Damian gritted out as he stood from his seat,

“Now if you excuse me I am going to return to my room, I feel that if I were to add a bass to the background it would help with the mixing of sounds.”

And left as quickly as he could without raising suspicions.

“Holy fuck,”

Jason breathed out,

“When did the brat gain his first crush?”

“It has to be new.”

Tim rubbed his temple with his thumb,

“He’s still clearly in denial so he hasn’t really gotten used to the idea.”

“You say that like he doesn’t share his dna with the most emotionally constipated man in the known universe.”

“Guys.”

Dick raised his hands in exasperation,

“We can argue on whether or not he’s conscious about his crush later. Right now I want to do some background checks on this person.”

Before exiting the music room,

Tim gave him a disbelieving look,

“Background checks? Dick we don’t even have a name here.”

“Yeah dickhead, even if we’re assuming that he wrote this song about someone in his school we’re still looking a number in the hundreds.”

“That would be true,”

Dick’s eyes took a mischievous look as the other’s followed him into the office.

“If it wasn’t for the fact that Damian had complained about this assignment beforehand, so I know for a fact that it’s about someone in his Advanced music theory class.”

Jason and Tim shared a similar expression as they joined him in the cave.

“That does narrow it down a bit, what’s an average class size replacement?”

“Oh about 20 students, but with the fact that this is an non essential elective course, I would bet it to be smaller.”

With a shared nod and grin they started up the bat computer.

Not like they had any other big plans today anyways.

The song if you want

[saraptor-art]

Hello, I had questions about the gods of the sea, about their ideals, if there are commandments or prohibitions, if they have any religious symbols, stories. 🌊 🛐 🌊

Hey, Anon, answering this from the 3rd of Sept :D But I wanted to take my time with this one so there we go!

When imagining this, I tried not to take inspiration directly from real beliefs or religions to avoid any appropriation but I’m still clearly influenced by my Christian background and the “casual witch beliefs” that circulate in European cultures. I researched different beliefs from Ireland and East, South East Asia but went with something softer, murkier and based on the ocean itself rather than legends, stories and creatures. Visually, I took inspiration from different Mesopotamian writings and from Peruvian art.

I wanted to create a very soft magic, with few intermediaries that still fit in One Piece since there is very little talk of religion in the manga (before Nika xP). I also wanted to leave it to the believer or non-believer’s interpretation if it works. So while Biri is sure that her faith keeps her safe on the sea, there’s always the possibility that she’s a very good sailor and has a lot of luck.

[georgiabush]

this is kinda gay buy ok:

You know that whole debate about "was punk started in the US or the UK?" and a lot of people are like "the Ramones started punk in the US" (I disagree). blah blah blah i can't make a coherent point but Joey and Tommy Ramone where jewish..

[sandwichmustbetasty]

I should be writting my thesis, but I am once again plagued with Dragon Age brainrot.

VARRIC/HAWKE OH MY GOD. The sheer potential for angst, the longing the pining and the ever present question of Bianca. Blue Hawke would be a mess. He would totally stay in the fade - he already lost his family, Carver's doing good with Wardens, his friends have their own life, and Varric? Varric's fine. He always is. He always has Bianca after all.

And Varric's complicated and repressed feelings would just hit him straight in the gut the moment the first shock would fade. He's in love with Hawke, has been for so long.

And now Hawke is dead. And now there is nothing to be done about this stupid stupid feeling he cradled so close to his chest he didn't even realise it was there. Varric would not be doing fine. Oh he would repress everything again and try to be his old self, but he'd rather avoid Cole, thank you very much.

And without Hawke there would be no-one to call him out on his bullshit. Not that they were ever any good about talking about feelings.

But Varric would stay up in his room, staring at the wall, haunted by the memories of Hawke's smiling face, of all the late evening where they would stay up, snuggled close somewhere in Hanged Man, drunk and too tired to move, laughing at some stupid hardly funny jokes. He would realise with a stark clarity that there was nothing of Hawke in his possesion but those sweet, painful memories. There was no memento, no trinket, nothing. You bet he would find his pack (if he left anything in Skyhold or in the camp) and pull out some tattered red shirt and hold on to that for the rest of his life.

welp, now i'm gonna cry.

Me: *spending hours researching and finding out little details about each song in the Thunder Saga while bawling my eyes out at how tragic and heartbreaking it is*

Also me: YO GIRL ON A SCALE OF ONE TO AMERICA 🦅 🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 HOW FREE ARE YOU TONIGHTTTTTT

[theredcuyo]

Okay but hear me out on this one

Skeppy gets to the island, and it's late at night after a very long, tiring day and a few divorces

Their kids just went to sleep (had enough of their parents flirt/banter)

And it's just them and this song

And they dance, slowly, trying to replace their last memory of dancing together, because for once, even if not for long, as fate seems to hate them, they are together

And Bad's color comes back for a few seconds

[pinkbwhale]

We, who once loved

In the shadows where the silence speaks, Two hearts intertwined, but their love was weak. With whispered dreams and a fragile thread, We danced on the edge of the words unsaid.

Time held the cards, the fate’s cruel hand, A spark turned to fire, an unyielding hand. When the stars aligned, destiny broke, A choice made in darkness, a life left unspoke.

Oh, can we turn back, rewrite the tale? Two souls lost in an unforgiving veil. Regret's heavy cloak, woven tight, In this twisted dance, we lost the light. Faded echoes of what could have been, In the silence, the screams, buried deep within.

You were my sunrise, my breath, my sin, Yet the storms raged on, and the doubts crept in. A knife in the silence, a fracture in trust, Broken promises scattered like ashes and dust.

With each fleeting moment, the love turned to dread, A ghostly reflection of words left for dead. In the shadow of choices, our identities frayed, With blood on our hands, we danced in the shade.

Oh, can we turn back, rewrite the tale? Two souls lost in an unforgiving veil. Regret's heavy cloak, woven tight, In this twisted dance, we lost the light. Faded echoes of what could have been, In the silence, the screams, buried deep within.

In the whispering night, ‘neath the pale crescent glow, I felt your presence; I longed for the unknown. But the weight of the world pulled us under the tides, In the echoes of sorrow, our true love subsides.

Oh, can we turn back, rewrite the tale? Two souls lost in an unforgiving veil. Regret's heavy cloak, woven tight, In this twisted dance, we lost the light. Faded echoes of what could have been, In the silence, the screams, buried deep within.

As the curtain falls on this tragic refrain, In the end, we found only shadows and pain. Two souls once destined, now lost to the night, In the faded echoes, we disappeared out of sight.

So, this is one of the first songs that i ever wrote, but never really showed to anyone. I hope that someone out there will appreciate lyrics I´am so proud of. <3

[eternalstarlitwonderland]

WISH UPON A STAR

It's a sparkly starlit night

The resident stargazers come out to look at the shimmering stars above

Couldn't believe that the stars were magnificently dazzling

So dazzling and So sparkling

That couldn't be unseen

Closing my eyes

Underneath the starlight glimmer

Falling into a starry dream

As I fall farther and farther

Feeling the warmness from the brightly lit stars

I slowly opened up my eyes

Waking up in a parallel universe

The world that unfolded before my eyes

Is unbelievable

Wait, Did I see it?

A shimmering silk curtain of stardust

Has opened up

Dispel the darkness with a brilliant shimmer

Seeing stars shimmer in the bright lights

Blinding me in the process

But I couldn't turn away from it

Even if I tried

Put my heart and soul into a wish

I begin to tell my wishes to the stars

They attentively listened to me

Even the smallest details

It's quite impressive

After telling my wishes

The stars begin to light up

Implying that they consider my wishes

Even if it results in some of them

Will come true

I WISH UPON A STAR (WISH UPON A STAR)

All crises on the journey can become a strength

The glimmers can turn into bright lights

Like a shooting star

Even if I get so lonely

At least I have the stars by my side

It's nothing to be afraid of

Things can get rough from time to time

But I'll keep on going

With a smile on my face

Shimmer! Radiance beams

Twinkling! Far beyond the stars

A vibrant melody is tapped into my voice

Every star shining brilliantly

Individually and collectively

Couldn't believe that the stars were magnificently twinkling

So sparkling and So shimmering

That couldn't be unseen

If I close my eyes

That place will call out to me

In the starry sky

The bright lights of the stars

In the constellation

Will shine on

For eternity and beyond

Seeing every one of them shine

Like a twinkly diamond

Dazzling in a milky way (MILKY WAY)

(WISH UPON A STAR)
