[adventuresofalgy]

In a corner of Algy's assistants' garden that was sheltered from the north, there rested an old garden bench which, though undeniably decorative owing to advancing decay and its rich coatings of lichens and rust, was no longer safe for human beings to sit upon.

Fluffy birds, however, who not only weigh a great deal less than humans, but are able to leap up into the air should their perch unfortunately happen to collapse beneath them, are able to rest upon it without concern.

So, when Algy noticed a rogue patch of sunshine illuminating the corner of this bench, he hopped up onto it and lay back contentedly against the rusty arm rest, for although the new day had brought some fine sunny intervals, there was also a roaring and bitterly cold wind blowing from the arctic regions of the world, and the dense evergreen shrubbery which screened this spot provided a great deal of protection.

And as he revelled in the adventitious spotlight, Algy realised that for the first time since the autumn, the sun also felt almost warm. Of course he knew that this happy state of affairs was sadly temporary, for a great cloud threatened to bring another shower of sleet and hail very soon, but it was so spring-like for the moment that although there was as yet no sign of the skylarks returning, and in fact the wind was anything but mild, Algy just couldn't help singing:

Die Lerche in blaue Höh entschwebt, der Tauwind weht so lau; sein wonniger milder Hauch belebt und küßt das Feld, die Au. Der Frühling in holder Pracht erwacht, ah alle Pein zu End mag sein, alles Leid, entflohn ist es weit! Schmerz wird milder, frohe Bilder, Glaub an Glück kehrt zurück; Sonnenschein, ah dringt nun ein, ah, alles lacht, ach, ach, erwacht! Which translates roughly as: The lark into blue heights escapes, the thawing wind blows so gently; its delightful mild breath revives and kisses the field, the meadow. Spring awakes in beautiful splendour, ah, all anguish may have come to an end, all suffering has fled far away! Pain becomes milder, happy pictures, Belief in luck returns; Sunshine, ah, please come in, ah, everything laughs, ah, ah, awake!

[Algy is singing the popular waltz Frühlingsstimmen (Spring Voices) by the 19th century Austrian composer Johann Strauss, with original lyrics by Richard Genée.]

This waltz is often played as an orchestral piece, but the lyrics were written for soprano voice and, as an aria, Frühlingsstimmen used to be popular in concert performances. For those who enjoy such things, here is a charming, abridged, staged version from the archives, sung by the clear voice of German soprano Ingeborg Hallstein in 1963:

[noel claiming liam wrote better man about him]

- noel: thanks very much. another new song. it's one that he wrote *points at liam* - liam: nod nod 👆 - crowd cheers - noel: was that a sarcastic cheer because it's taken him fuckin thirty years to write a song? - liam: 😁 - noel: believe you me, he got the same reaction in the studio - crowd cheers - liam (to the crowd): alright now, why don't you all spit on me at this point - noel: anyway, apparently it was written about me, it's called better man - song plays - liam: clap, ya bastards!

[cherryskieszz]

I'm once again posting about this guy and not giving context about my AU (it's basically FNAF except everything is all sunshine and rainbows because I heavily fw AUs like that)

Is it obvious he has a lot of inspiration from when people were calling him Salvage in 2015... (yes it is)

🩺✨TW // medical concepts (tubes, ivs, veins), noose mention (cj storm and a spring lyrics)

(personally icky and squeamish on the medical concepts myself due to my health history, but im trying to conquer my fear by drawing them!! baby’s first IV drawing <33)

@calamarispiderart @calamarispider

I drew some fanart of calamarispiderart’s very cool hms guys in my sketchbook 👀. ive been dubbing them the ‘crazy concept calamari crew’ or something of the like. been having a hyperfixation ever since i found their tumblr last week :]. so earhm,, hope you enjoy!!!

.-.

‘’ spoiler image!! this is what stuff will be centered around ,,

.-.

ok art time

slowly listening to the full cccc album my myself :]. im very much in the fandom, just might not get all the references. mind is my favorite guy (everyone else is awesome too) so that might reflect here haha. calamari’s mind neck was so interesting to draw, i had the idea it can retract-ish and hide away in his weird fluffy coat. they all look so cool 😭😭

oH and a little extra whiteboardfox doodle wouldn’t hurt anyone. i wondered why the tubes on his neck were there, and came to the conclusion maybe theyre to substitute bloodflow because his neck is broken and blocked :0!

kind of funny because i first discovered calamari’s art amidst the aftermath of some twilight sedation i had (related to my ✨gut issues✨). discovered both calamari’s (i think) and spook on twitter’s (definitely) art after that whole procedure when i was home and watching turning red, love that movie,,, makes me cry. kinda funny i’m returning to calamari and spook’s arties at the same time after discovering them both at also the same time a while ago. was it october? wow.

anyways uhm…sending virtual hugs calamari!! i know this crew might be a bit old-ish (i had to scroll to find them) but i hope you enjoy it. time to do laundry ok bye

the funniest part of heartstopper is in season 2 when nick is talking to christian, sai, and otis and christian says “we know you and charlie are really good mates” and otis and sai just give him THE BIGGEST SIDE EYE

i fucking crack up every time

[stopper-my-heart]

Charlie: You know, I've always appreciated how much effort you put into getting to know my friends. Nick: Well I am a Spice Girls fan. Charlie: ...? Nick: ... Charlie: You're so cringe. Nick: But is it working though.

[annabelle--cane]

so fucked up that the second national tour of spring awakening was so good but it got the least bootlegged of all the mainstage US productions so no one really remembers it now except for assorted sickos with good taste

[the-labyrinth-of-me]

Remedy knows exactly what they're doing.

[finelythreadedsky]

no wait you know what pylades is really like? it's like orestes turns around and looks directly at the puppeteer operating his shadow and talks to him. and the puppeteer responds.
