By the way if any of my Mutuals or followers wanna add some violin to their fics or art like,,,,, hit me up lol. Or ask any violinist I promise we love the attention.
I’ve been seeing some common mistakes with bowholds though so I figured I’d give my two cents
That’s my typical hold! I think it can vary in size of hand and experience but this is how I do it. Some people put the thumb in between the stick and hair??? But that always gives me cramps so,, idk. Also bows and violins have sizes. You can use a violin smaller than your size but not bigger. Full size is generally as big as they go. 1/4 (small), half, and 3/4 before that. I think they make teeny ones for little little kids too. Size depends on your arm length 👍🏻
Also that silver knob is for tightening the hair, which should be stored loose and tightened for use. Thumbs don’t go on the hair it fucks with the oil or whatever.
Also for drama: I used to whack my bow on things when I was little because who gives a fuck. Those bitches are RESILIENT. Like I’ve Never broken one and I would hit the shit out of em. So if you write one being thrown, it’ll probably be fine lol. Also the hair sheds with play, and you have to get them re-haired every once in awhile. Uhhhhhh what else. Idk that’s mainly how etiquette, the actual violin is a whole other thing. If you want more info feel free to ask!!
also you cannot play the violin with long nails. it does not work. i have seen this drawn. and it is not physically possible.

Feyre: I learned some very valuable lessons from this.
Rhys: I’m guessing they are all horrible distortions on the lessons you actually should’ve taken away.
Feyre: Death isn’t real, and I’m basically God.

Rewatched a bunch of episodes of LBD this weekend (probably hadn't seen the videos in about eight years) and man the most cringe thing about that was reading my decade old comments on every one.

I was talking about your sexual fantasies tho.
Do you really believe you will think everyone’s sexual fantasies will be hot to you?
Okay maybe some can be disturbing.

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.
For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.
The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.
So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

There are many new friends on the archive, and many are young and have only known social media, which is why I wanted to say something!
Ao3 does not have an algorithm! It isn't a social media site, it's an archive.
Posting fics on Tumblr isn't the same as posting fics on Ao3
Ao3 is like a giant virtual bookshelf, and everyone is able to add their own stories to the bookshelf, all stored with different tags and different fandoms. Works are automatically sorted by newest to oldest, but filters, looking at bookmarks, and using the search function can change that.
Certain works are not pushed to the top like social media posts. More kudos and reads don't push a single work to more viewers by some algorithm. Unless otherwise filtered, works will be at the top of the page based on how recent it was posted.
Smaller fandoms get less views, less kudos, less bookmarks, and larger fandoms get more simply because of the number of people inside the fandom.
Ao3 is a giant virtual bookshelf- there is no algorithm, and there is no man behind the shelf pushing certain books forward.
Happy reading, and if you'd like to have more people notice a fic, why not share it with them! Send a dm to a fandom friend and it might turn into one of their favorite fics!
