#also just like the choir (

[fabaceous]

walk with me... “you’re the one holding the knife” ... what if i said that shauna was always the more powerful one in the relationship? on one level because even back in the high school world all of jackie’s “successes” were hollow. her captaincy is undermined by tai and shauna scheming behind her back. her best friend feels stifled by her and secretly resents her. her picture perfect boyfriend has been fucking the aforementioned best friend on the down low. and what’s the common factor? SHAUNA. shauna is the literal shadow agent who is actually living out jackie’s successes. (of course, they’re kind of hollow successes for shauna too, cause pretty much all of them blow up in her face eventually. but still, it’s about jackie thinking those successes belong to her when shauna is actually benefiting from them)

and then there’s this whole other level that’s just between the two of them and relates to their power struggles specifically. at first glance it looks like jackie is in charge and shauna is just at the mercy of her whims. the classic popular girl and dorky sidekick dynamic. but if you look a little closer it becomes so obvious how dreadfully insecure jackie is and how totally devoted to shauna she is. what if jackie actually envies shauna more than shauna envies jackie? what if jackie would do anything shauna asks of her because she loves her that much? what if shauna is actually the leader and jackie is the follower? what if shauna was always the one holding the knife?

#IS THISSSS ANYTHINGGGGG?????? #are these the deranged ramblings of a madwoman? #it probably needs to marinate a little more...consider it a first draft #also im sure a lot of this is derivative and im not the first to bring it up #like about jackie's victories being 'stolen' by shauna #or jackie being more devoted to shauna than shauna is to her #like i know im preaching to the choir lol #but i just wanted to try to bring it all back to that quote #yellowjackets

TUVOKTOBER Day 2: Lunch Break [Interrupted]

#tuvoktober #bea art tag #1000% directly inspired by that post about how Tuvok should eat tupperwear salad like a teacher #It's so true!! He literally WAS a teacher !!! #he's listening to monks chanting - his favorite music bc he's a gd freak #It's SO his favorite that Neelix knows about it. I really wanna know how he knows. #Probably 'he just asked him' but funnier: They went on an away mission and he had monk chanting playing the whole time #Neelix: (internal) This is fucking hell on earth (positive spin) At least I know his favorite music! #Everyone whose been in an older relative's car as they blast choir music (the car is always SO hot) understands #it's torture but also it's kind of comforting??? it always makes me want to got to sleep #Tuvok seems like he eats salad without dressing (maybe a light drizzle of like lemon or vinegar on top) and looks down on people #who do otherwise <3 annooooying <3 #Janeway: (early in their knowing each other) Can I join you~? I'm also having a salad! #<- did this specifically to try & bond with him #Tuvok: -gazes pointedly at how much dressing she put on it- I could hardly tell.

Not sure this is for me, i just can't bring myself to like this new look, good for them if they like it but yeah.

It's so out of nowhere that i am so confused.

#Also why keep vess and the choir looking the same but the others are like that??? #Sleep token #Surprised that so many like it #I'm not hating the boys I'm just ranting about this #If they keep these looks i don't know how long I'll keep enjoying them #That's my fear and I'm a bit worried #It wasn't like with the Impera masks #I don't think I'll find myself drawing those or liking them anytime soon #Don't get me wrong i still love their music and stuff

[civilization-illstayrighthere]

I don't know just where I'm going But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can 'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man When I put a spike into my vein And I'll tell ya, things aren't quite the same When I'm rushing on my run And I feel just like Jesus son (x)

the original. “rama,” i hear you ask, “why is the original on its side?” Well, being that I’m on xbox, I’ve found that the only way i can get the uh, je ne sais quoi sort of dimensions I’d like, i have to rotate the camera by a full 90 degrees, which you can imagine looks very stupid as I then have to lay on the couch or tilt my head at an angle that my twenty nine year old neck doesnt really appreciate

#cp 2077 #cyberpunk 2077 #kerry eurodyne #johnny silverhand #silverdyne #Also like Lou reed my beloved. Linked my favorite live version of the song #you cant go wrong w velvet underground but if you’ve never listened PLEASE please please listen w some headphones and enjoy its just so goo #the way it starts slow. Speeds up. The guitar solos signifying the depression of the plunger n the way it hits. OUGH. #I mean. Obviously i dont need to tell y’all how good velvet underground is but i do like to preach to the choirs #its just so johnny. If i could only pick one johnny song it would be this one

You don't even know how great it is that I don't have to use a proper name here. I have a weird thing about names

#off-topic #personal ramblings #i can't stand my deadname and i've tried several new ones but none of them felt right after a while #also i barely ever call anyone by their name and always use their nickname if they have one #like bob and jimmy. their names are not bob or jimmy. and like bob's only known as bob in choir. but i still call him bob #and my best friend. i only refer to them by their name when i'm talking about them. not when i'm talking to them. i just call them bro

[noctude]

you know when you’re anxious about something and you do best case scenario/worst case scenario/what will probably happen.

my best case scenario?? just happened?? like almost beat for beat????

#had to do a hearing with our new choir director #i mentioned i like to accompany myself on piano and he was like (gestures to piano) go for it #<- LITERALLY exactly my best case scenario #and Then ! he went Beyond my best case scenario and asked me if i write music! and i said yes! and he told me to send it to them! #and that he wants to do a commissioning contest and that he’ll keep me in the loop! #screaming #also i accidentally just they/themmed my cis straight choir director sorry

[drev-the-procrastinator]

ugghhh EBU refusing to let Zelenskyi speak at the Ukrainian Eurovision finale because "it would be against the rules because Eurovision is apolitical uwu" like. EBU. Girl. You do understand that refusing to let him speak there is a political act in and of itfself right???? Do you think you kicked Russia out for the lols??? The 1st semifinal's show with all the text messages on the screen was just a fancy visual??? The pride flags in the audience not a political statement in support of LGBTQ+ rights??? lmao please. apolitical my ass

#eurovision #esc 2023 #eurovision 2023 #eurovision song contest #not to even mention all the other years #like idk. hosting in israel and banning all palestinian flags but letting israel use those territories in its postcards. #letting russia put up a tank and the red-army choir on stage when they hosted. #why did camilla and charles get a cameo in the opening video but zelenskyi can't show up????? ukraine WON #i'm so annoyed at the hypocrisy #besides deciding what counts as apolotical and what doesn't is also a political act #so like-------- #ugggghhhhhh #i just watched a video essay about the politics in eurovision so it annoys me extra #because i just had so many examples of politics in esc pointed out and now they're again like "esc being apolitical is a cornerstone uwu'' #no the fuck it's not #ughhh

WIP WEDNESDAY

The people have been reacting well to cunty dame so have some more :)

~~~~~~

All this to say – Nicky leaving was putting a major crimp in Dame’s lifestyle. She plucked a glass of champagne off a tray, taking a long sip and surveying the room from her perch near the window. Tia and Kam were deep in conversation next to the food table, while Nicky — as the guest of honor — was in the middle of the room, surrounded by a gaggle of their coworkers.

Kam walked over a moment later, a small plate of hors d’œuvres in hand. “So, are you planning to go talk to your girlfriend?” She asked conversationally.

Dame rolled her eyes, plucking a canapé off of her best friend’s plate and popping it into her mouth. “Nicky’s not my girlfriend.”

“Try telling her that,” Kam retorted, giving Nicky a polite wave and a smile. Nicky smiled back at her before turning her gaze to Dame, smile softening.

“She knows,” Dame said. “I’ve told her. I’m not the girlfriend type. It’s just a bit of fun, nothing more.”

“Yeah well, the trail of brokenhearted girls you leave behind shows that well enough,” Kam shoved her playfully.

Dame pursed her lips to hide her smile. “You’re just jealous,” she teased, finishing off her champagne flute and stepping forward to greet Nicky who had made her way over.

Dame leaned over, placing a ghost of a kiss on each of her cheeks. “Nicky,” she murmured. “Lovely party. Shame it's goodbye.”

“It doesn’t have to be. You could come back to Paris with me.” Nicky looked up at her hopefully.

Dame plucked another flute of champagne off the tray of a passing server, letting out a noncommittal hum as she looked away, meeting eyes with the Spanish woman who worked in reception, flashing her a wink and a smile. “Better not, I’m quite enjoying London,” she said flippantly.

#can you tell I’m having fun :) #also I wrote this on my phone in the parking lot between choir and work so if there’s typos shut up #obviously unedited #but I’m enjoying it #also I really need to come up with a name for this story #like I can’t just keep calling it cunty dame au #cunty dame au #lol #my writing #wip Wednesday #work in progress Wednesday #kam Hugh #Nicky doll #La grande dame #I’m not gonna tag her but the unnamed Spanish woman is arantxa #for visualization purposes #anyways enjoy :) #pls lmk your thoughts I live and die by peoples reactions to my writing #also I need to figure out what everyone is wearing hm I should do that soon #also I’m trying so hard to show more stuff for people who can visualize stuff in their heads #pls tell me if it’s working #am I on the right track #I can’t picture stuff so I always forget to explain things in a way that helps people who can bc it feels so irrelevant to me lmao

As someone who went to Germany and spent like 70% of the time in churches, Von karma sibling growing up Christian head canons is so fucking personal to me

#ace attorney #von karma siblings #miles edgeworth #franziska von karma #if anyone is curious the reason was i was on a choral music tour with my schools chapel choir #a series of words that i know require so much explaining but take it #german church architecture is fucking bomb though just saying #absolutely stunning #i may dislike almost everything about Christianity in practice but they did go hard with the aesthetic #mvk would be Christian. he just would. he has that christan religious flair #i bet he like talked all the time about how laws come from religion #he like said one prayer about Gregory and thought he was fogiven and in no eay in the wrong #and Miles spent every fucking waking second there thinking he could never be forgiven for murdering his father #he probably becomes an atheist after he moves back to America because he needs that rational explanation for everything #but probably still thought he was damned because the only thing thay can over come Edgeworth's insistance on logic is his self hatred #fran probably had such a fucking complex about being a perfect Christian but it probably gets deconstructed eventually as she recovers #honestly i think its gone by 2-1 probably due to her father being a perfect christian but also a murderer #because she is really chill with channeling #it's probably something she loses when MVK dies

pretty sure my entire neighborhood just heard me yell, "for the love of GOD, stop giving me bra ads, i don't have boobs anymore", so that's. how my thursday is going.

#stop advertising to me period! i do not wish to be perceived by capitalism! #but also like. why am i suddenly getting nothing BUT bra ads #you weren't preaching to an attentive choir at any point in my lifetime but now it's falling on especially deaf ears #just nonbinary things

[unforth]

Y'all (general) really really need to exercise the block buttons more.

An opinion you don't agree with? Someone makes you uncomfortable? Something you don't like? Even just a person whose way of presenting information makes you uncomfortable (even if you agree with them)?

Block.

BLOCK.

B.L.O.C.K.

Look, I get it. I used to think seeing opinions I didn't agree with was important, that exposing myself was a way of staying informed. But finally, I hit a breaking point - I already knew the viewpoints I disagreed with, and seeing them every day was making me miserable.

I've blocked liberally since then.

And the most remarkable thing happened: I routinely see posts where lots of people are disagreeing with the same person...and I already have that person blocked.

Because the most insidious thing about letting myself see the negativity and things that made me unhappy all the time is that leaving it all there gave me the impression that there were a LOT of vocally awful people saying things that hurt me.

But there aren't.

There's actually a surprisingly small number of people who get off on trolling or are so marinated in hate that they have to spew it all around them, and when you block those people, the world gets much more peaceful.

You're not growing as a person by exposing yourself to rhetoric that hurts you. You're just hurting, which is exactly how those people want you to feel: they want you to be in as much agony as they are.

Don't give them the satisfaction.

BLOCK THEM.

(tbh I've hit the point that I think people who willfully, deliberately, loudly, intentionally don't block are engaging in a form of self-harm. seriously, you're not taking a noble stand, no one cares if you don't block except the people hurting you.)

#unforth rambles #my mutuals all know this so i'm preaching to the choir #did i see a bad jiang cheng take again #yes yes i did #but specifically i saw a bad jiang cheng take triggered by anti deciding to vent stupidity instead of blocking the things they didn't like #and then a stan engaging instead of also blocking #both these people would be happier if they blocked #like antis you do realize if you hate a character your best bet is to block the people who love them right #sorry the back and forth is just exhausting #i blocked the anti #and i almost blocked the pro too #stop engaging it's pointless just do your own thing and block the people who you don't agree with #it's not creating an echo chamber #i promise you're not a better person because you let the same terf or anti or racist or whoever #expose you to their toxicity over and over #you've already given them a hearing by reading their first drivel ya know the one that led you to block them #if you know enough to know they're terrible why would you want to give them a hearing on literally any other topic #block and move on #there are so many better people out there who are actually worth your time and energy

[doctorwhoisadhd]

so wait, since i was just reminded of the recorder thing donna talked about in the giggle, i now have a question for uk ppl: do yall learn the recorder in school? like in a music class? and like how much do yall have music class over there?

#this is a very interesting topic for me as a music educator from the us #ik a guy from ireland and he said there was no music class in schools for him and like not the same country BUT same island #(as northern ireland. not the others in the uk but still) #and its so wild and fascinating music education is a fascinating field and the way we do it in the us seems to be largely vvv unique to us #for clarification on how things are different so ppl have a better idea on how to answer my question lol: #in the us music class is standard in elementary schools and most places have general music until abt 5th/6th grade (year 6/7) #(general music = basics- music games learn recorder SOME notation-reading; often classroom instruments eg boomwhackers claves maracas #orff instruments if you're lucky/from a school district that isnt poor. also some world music) #its less standardized after that and not every school will have music after middle school but concert bands and choirs are both huge here #choirs start right on the heels of general music classes (sometimes start earlier + students elect to be in choir instead of general music) #bands USUALLY start in 4th grade (year 5) but sometimes can be later 5th/6th (year 6/7) or even 7th (year 8) (WAY less common) #depends on the state generally 4th is most common i think (choirs start at around the same time i think so probs 4th but choir isnt my area #orchestras are weird bc theyre a lot less common but can commonly start younger bc of one of the big approaches to music ed (suzuki method) #so like maybe 3rd grade (year 4) maybe 4th w/ band (year 5) but i have a friend who teaches at a private school #& said they have 1st/2nd graders (year 2/3)!! orchestra is also not my area though #also marching bands: vv common! usually just in hs (starting 9th grade / year 10) bc it supports the football team at games #but starting in 8th grade (year 9) is also common (sometimes even 7th / year 8) #theres two different styles: collegiate/show band and competition. former is very rah rah pop music etc; competition is more abstract #show bands are clearly designed to entertain whereas competition is designed to be more impressive and tell a story #so more impact moments abstract shapes/lines on the field and has movements - opener ballad closer (fast-slow-fast)

I found a YT video with a small wardrobe malfunction from December 2019. Probably old news because this has 17k views but still super interesting to see more of the old mask's anatomy. If you don't want to watch the whole thing, start around 2:35 also can you imagine being front row for that omfg🥵🥵

its so mindboggling that people can go “how can you say free palestine if you’re queer” as if the opinions a person has changes the validity of their life??? yall sound real similar to the people saying trans people are a danger to society

#like how can you seperate that #mass murder of a group based on something they habe zero control over is wrong full stop #stg though i see this So Much and it makes zero sense #yeah ok i dont like the values the far right holds but i dont think they should all die? #and like also completely disregards even the *possibility* that there are queer ppl in palestine? #So Interesting to me bc as soon as you can depersonalize ot suddenly you side with the oppressors #i just actually cant stop thinking abt this #like how can you say ‘trans rights’ and then turn around and ignore the bombing of hospitals #how can you say ‘equal rights’ for any marginalized community while not seeing this as a genocide #whats different? #genuinely what is different #yall literally sound like the transphobes trying to say most people regret transitioning when there’s overwhelming evidence this isnt true #like holy texts didnt matter when they were used against gay ppl but now you use it as justification for the mass slaughter of palestinians #obviously not to say the bible actually said any shit against gay people but like. yall fr #since when have we let people’s *interpretation* of holy texts validate murder #what is different #i know im prolly preaching to the choir and also im lowkey terrified of this reaching an audience that disagrees #bc i am not prepared to come up w evidence based arguments #i do not have time for that #rambles
