#im going to play guitar about it

[giawang]

not to like get up on a soap box or anything but rn im thinking i can b grateful for what i have while still thinking about the things i want. i want a small house and a big dog and i want a job that i dont hate and i want more than 24 hours in a day. but right now i have brown sugar french toast on the stove and im running out of room on my fridge for all the wonderful cards and notes my loved ones give me. and i washed all my bedding yesterday so i have soft nicesmelling blankets and bears. i dont have roommates and i do have a fireplace. and a spider in my bathroom thats politely minding his own business.

it's probably obvious that. sebastian is my favorite. sorry. i also like sam though hes cute

also in my first spring i kept fishign up flounders (because . BECAUSE I LOVE FISHING) and i found out only sebastian somewhat likes them and just kept giving it to him.

of course we all know that it's a deeply personal song for pete, so this a big, healing moment for him ❤️ but i think it's kind of cool in addition to that, because it's one of a couple prehiatus songs that joe actually wrote alongside patrick, rather than just the guitar part like most of them :)

#another reason im going to start killing people. there are TOO MANY LAYERS BRO IT'S ENOUGHHHHH #i need to see vid of joe playing it too #the guitar sounds SO good in the clip we got so far #sorry to be a typical joe stan and make it about joe too but i couldnt not connect this to that!!!! #joe trohman #my post #tourdust

good days aren't easy to come by

#simblr #ts4 legacy #valentine gen 4 #fun fact for context on why i care so much abt him finally choosing to play the piano on his own #but it's gonna get Long so strap in #basically. the guitar he used to have had been with him since he was like...... my god. probably about 15 #he bought it at a yard sale for pennies from an older woman #it belonged to her late son originally and it wasn't even . supposed to be a part of the sale in the first place. she just took a liking to #devin and figured that really it's better in the hands of someone who would use it than for it to collect dust in her garage forever #and he couldn't really practice at home. his parents... are not exactly the kindest people you've ever seen #he was too afraid of them destroying or throwing it away so he'd sneak off to god knows where and learn how to play it from old #youtube videos on his busted up phone #it quickly became Everything to him. his most prized possession. and it wasn't a shitty guitar either. the son was a professional musician #that's how ellie and devin met in the first place. he was playing at the market she used to sneak out to in the evenings to #and she instantly knew . this boy is going places and really they might as well go together #enough backstory of the backstory. long story short: he was struggling to make rent eventually and was out of vinyls to pawn off #so he had no choice left. it was either that or he'd get kicked out along with his sister. who was still struggling a lot w/ addiction #so he sold it. and it broke him. he's literally just not been the same since losing it #his sister stole him a guitar from a music shop she'd go to sometimes but it just wasn't the same and he had not played an instrument since #until now anyway #still not a guitar. but maybe someday #or he can find his old one and buy it again......... #lmfao if you made it here congrats. you win nothing bc im broke but i do respect you

Do you ever just thirst over a man playing a musical instrument and wanting his fingers to be inside of you, or are you normal?

#mona's sessions #yes im talking about Mr Park Jongsoeng #AKA JAY OF ENHYPEN #aka bitch had to play that stupidly attractive guitar of his ON MY DAMN PERIOD #HIS FINGERS #IF I DONT HAVE THEM INSIDE OF ME RIGHT NOW #im gonna go breathe into my pillow now excuse me

having taken an astronomy class really made me fall in love with space. the way they talk about the universe and things within it like stars and other celestial bodies make them seem like living, breathing things and it's really beautiful #tbh

#Fellas is it gay to have a lifelong partner and you slowly cannibalize them dance with them and eventually you die #<- thats about stars having a companion star #obj #objectum #? i suppose. I jst felt liek this should go on this blog #Im gonna miss astronomy..my semester just ended lol #i have to take guitar now 😒<- The instrument lover is learning to play an instrument😹😹😹IM SCARED #space

had an enlightening conversation with my cousin about my goals and ideology in life. what did this lead to? inner cowboy and inner sailor fighting each other for my future geographical home area (sea vs land) and then making out sloppy style as they both realise they share the desire to explore and live simply and go with the flow and love the world and seek out their desires and

#being more serious the character of “the cowboy” has always stuck with me even as a child #my whole discord was cowboy themed at one point years ago #not saying that im ready to go and live my life out as a cowboy #but that there is a lot about that “character” of living on the land #exploring the world on horseback #fishing and hunting and gathering your own resources #maybe owning a homestead that provides for you as long as you provide for it #joining up with friends and just having a grand time watching the sun set over the valley #playing the harmonica and guitar and banjo and spoons and whistling along #having clothes that arent necessarily the most fashionable but they work and can be repaired and are strong #with fashion still being a part of the outfit #neutral and earthy tones #rugged. useful. handmade #same goes for “the sailor” #working together as a team to get forward in life #(ive always preferred teamwork over individual competition) #music being a core part of that work in shanties (UGH SHANTIES. love me a good call and response) #but these thoughts are more “ideals” than “i literally want to be one right now down to everything they do” obv #all this yammering to say that i hold the Cowboy and Sailor very close to my heart. #(despite this blog being called parchmentknight ummmmmm dont mind that. it just sounded cool ok) #cowboysona and sailorsona when #rivera writes

a handful of chinese songs that give me big robit energy

translating cpop songs is like my second favourite hobby so it's frankly surprising I haven't made this post sooner

Him - Floruitshow (马 - 福禄寿)

I've talked about this song on here before but this is the 3.7 song for me

the second chorus is definitely MR-SN but i like to think of the first chorus (Let me take a good look at your visage as we count down the time till the curtains’ close. Forgive me for holding back my voice so soon, do you know, in your graceful escape, all I see around me is disaster?) as VR-LA during the flashback sequence

specifically 'all I see around me is disaster' because yeah not wrong

'This time I’m not here to bring you home' just kills me like the please please take care of yourself because I can't be there with you anymore of it all

'Oh spring, oh warm sun, please come sooner, grant him a smooth and safe journey' same point, just the desperate plea for the universe to protect VR-LA because he can't do it himself anymore

How can I make you stay - Floruitshow (我用什么把你留住 - 福禄寿)

(conveniently I have actually done a full translation of this song!)

definitely one of the Maxim songs of all time

"You’ve believed that you can let your life pass in numbness, but [...] why do your tears fall in the moment of letting go?' YEAH because we've seen so many times how Maxim keeps trying to convince himself that he can stop just caring but it never works

'You say don’t fall in love, yet you’re unwilling to let go' same point, this man is in such denial about how he just can't stop caring

specifically the second verse feels a lot like Maxim waiting for VR-LA to return from Tu'narath

'You stay silent, holding onto starlight as you wait through your darkest hour. Your mind is struck, when familiar murmurs pierce your ears once more' aaaAAAAHH

the bridge (?) as a conversation between VR-LA and Maxim, VR-LA inviting Maxim to see the beauty and wonders of the world ('Do you want to see the sea of flowers blooming?', very 4.5 wedding invite honestly) but Maxim's trauma just would not allow him to take that risk ('If none of them come back, then who should I live for?')

fun fact the second version of the bridge in my translation ('You must stay to see the flowers bloom' onwards) is exclusive to that live performance of the song so it's not in the spotify version i linked here. as for which version you think fits Maxim more.. well.

Borrow - Mao Buyi (借 - 毛不易)

finally banging out a translation for this song was kinda the inspiration for me to make this post actually

the tldr of this song is that it's an unnamed/unidentified speaker asking to borrow various small things for the sake of somebody else (like 'an inch of frozen sunlight' to provide warmth in a cold world) so you can probably see where i'm going with this

'A simple ‘we have plenty of time’ etched into the soul to prepare for the chance of forced separation' ouch ow okay

'Those blown apart by these winds will say that they never loved deeply' / 'There is a sincerity that cannot be blown apart by this wind' DX-TR betraying the old crew vs VR-LA fighting through so much just to get them back

'There are tears that cannot be washed away by this rain' this line just haunts me. like in general

'An acre of land for him to call home, an ordinary life for him to live' as MR-SN watching over the old crew like I can't be there for you but I hope you will find peace and a home...

#rolling with difficulty #rwd starship #rwd professionals #my feel good hobby! as opposed to art: my feel bad hobby /j #im actually learning to play how can i make you stay on the guitar right now its a lot of fun but ow my fingers #ive also found a score for him but its super outside my skill level so we'll see how that goes #bmadd11 my beloathed #/also/ working on a little something based on that song but that wont... come into play for at least the next few weeks so #its an absolute monster of a project and school has started so i dont have high hopes for getting it done soon #i dont think i got to mention this on the actual post for borrow but ive literally been spinning that song in my brain since like 2020 #genuinely. i've been thinking about how to translate that song for upwards of 3 years #grammar is just weird sometimes #i was gonna include let's go wandering by bibi zhou but i couldve SWORN i wrote a translation for that song before i just cant FIND it #spent 30 minutes hunting for the doc in my drive thats 30 minutes of my life wasted #but 'lets go wandering with a smile because we carry our home in our hearts' just fucks severely #also considered including forget your sorrows when the flowers bloom by zhou shen #bc im not gonna make a cpop post and *not* try and subject more poeple to zhou shen #but like that songs vibe is too... cottagecore to really make a good point there im just obsessed with one specific line #'If my memories are stolen and I forget all my love; I'll say to you “Hello!” #post amnesia vrla to the old crew??? the 'i dont know you. id love to get to know you again' of it all???? #did this instead of my programming homework :|

if you ever find me staring off into the middle distance with one single tear rolling down my face please know that i am thinking about the fact that I will never be able to watch ray toro and gerard way’s charity performance for the puppets for puppetry event circa 2016

#my white whale #I think about this every day. btw if you even care #ray toro #gerard way #mcr #the muppets #like… I think if I ever did get to see footage of this event I’d fucking evaporate #gerard singing as the world caves in and underground???? #ray toro playing guitar for gonzo as he sings im going to go back there someday????? #im gonna cry

today i rented a guitar.

#i think im worried about going into a bad headspace again this summer because summer is kind of a tricky time for that #i dont like not being at school #i think i always need to be doing something #so i rented a guitar from the music store and im going to attempt to learn over the summer #i was noodling around for like an hour and it sounds so relaxing #ive been “playing” ukulele for a few years now and its a lot trickier than ukulele because there's more strings but knowing how its mapped #out from already knowing how a ukulele works is super helpful #its nice having something to work on for the next little while #but im more excited about the prospect of just having been able to do that #like i walked into the store and went “i wanna rent a guitar” and the dude was like “how old r u” and i went “twenty" #and then i filled out the paperwork and now i just have a guitar #and it only cost like 20 bucks #thats so cool to me #idk i guess they're just little things that remind me that being an adult is scary but it can also be kind of fun? you kind of realize that #when everyone else tells you that you have free will now it doesnt just mean being able to drive whereever you want whenever you want #it means being able to rent things and stuff too #and having the authority to say “i would like to do this” and being totally allowed to do it (within ethical boundaries ofc ofc 😌😌😌) #its like...deeper than the kind of rebelliousness of driving past midnight or getting tattoo or driving to a bar #its a weird sense of control thats oddly reassuring #delete later probably #tig rants

[prodigal-upsiders]

okay so obviously guitar is his primary instrument, love of his life, etc. but listen. eddie is a harmonica kid too nothing will convince me otherwise. 

#harmonica is surprisingly present in 70s rock music okay #and much much easier for a kid to get his hands on than a guitar at first #anyway this hc brought to you by i'm thinking lots of thoughts about steve being a springsteen fan #and eddie hearing about his and instantly going #HEY I CAN PLAY ATLANTIC CITY STEVE WANNA SEE #when eddie says 'im very talented w my mouth' he is talking about his harmonica skills #eddie munson #steddie #the upsiders au
