My best advice for those who want to pick up a new hobby but feel intimidated by perceived elitism is to just do what works and is available to you

I'm a musician, yet I purchased instruments online that were around $100 (very cheap considering the instruments). It's okay to do things like that! You don't have to be a Beethoven who only uses the most sophisticated instruments that cost over ten thousand dollars. And it's okay to pick up an instrument just so you can learn meme songs! You are learning something new and are applying it in ways that are enjoyable! You don't have to be ~classically trained~ or whatever.

I use music as an example because I have seen so many people who are almost ashamed that they want to dip their toes in and buy a cheap instrument, or are ashamed that they don't want to play the stuffy music that is thrusted onto musicians. However, this applies to literally anything.

Learn to write so you can write fanfic (yes, even lemons), learn to draw so you can make cringy comics, learn to compose so you can make vaporwave music. Buy cheap things that you can get your hands on, it doesn't matter when you are creating and learning!

If you are interested in a hobby, it is okay not to dive head-first into it. It's okay to be into it for a very specific purpose! You'll find that often, the elitism is either very fringe or is a stereotype, and the people in the hobby or passion will love what you're doing!

#positivity #encouragement #encouraging words #ALSO many times the cheap shit DOES last you #my bestie got a cheap/cheap quality ebay sax in fifth grade and she used it until our senior year because she took care of it #the stereotype that cheap is inherently worthless is probably just classism. you're doing great <3 #i'm learning bass partially because i wanna play meme music lmao #when i played clarinet i played a SHIT TON of meme music too. it was great

musicians should make it a point to have daylight shows instead of only nighttime concerts, send tweet

#''but lu!'' you say. ''what about people with jobs!'' #to this I say: do a frickin saturday or sunday daylight show #it's more accessible for people with light sensivities of whatever sort #bc dark shows are going to have flashing lights. lighting design and production for concerts is an art form #it's an absolutely genius artform and one that I adore with all my heart #however it does end up being unintentionally somewhat hostile to those with epilepsy or other light sensivities #so the solution I think would be more daylight shows bc you don't have that kind of lighting there #like at the very least do A Daylight Show regionally?? in each area they're going to??? idk #like I know it would be more work for the musicians but what's doing one slightly different show/rearranging shows a bit #for someone who does that for a living #yknow?? #idk I just saw something about the eras tour movie and I realized that I don't know if TS ever does daylight shows/anymore #and it got me thinking about this #there are tons of people who can't go to concerts bc of the flashing lights. but if there were shows in the daytime wouldn't #that be better for those people??? wouldn't that be great?? #also I don't personally have any of these issues so if I'm wrong on stuff/anyone who does have experience with this wants to weigh in #please do I'd love to know if this would be helpful #Lu rambles #music #kinda #idk what else to tag this skfnskfja #epilepsy #light sensitivity

this game has the most insane, extensive gender presentation customization options i've ever seen

#i was a teenage exocolonist #i'm so here for it i definitely tweaked a bunch of things #pretty sure this wasn't a thing during my first five or six playthroughs that i did ages ago? but even then there were tons of options #and you can change mid-game too! #(outside of that it's also genuinely such a well-written and aesthetically cool game with great music and characters)

Musical Saw

I wanted to write a fanfic for Chants of Sennaar. I only used he/him pronouns but let's say that their languages have no gendered pronouns.

The five representatives of the Temple's peoples were gathered in one of the anchorites' rooms, in the devotees' lands. A bard, the Director of the theater, had called a meeting. The Director stood in front of the screen, which currently showed a saw and some sort of curved stick with a taut string.

The Priest, no, the new Preacher was hoping that he was not expected to know what the curved stick was. The Director was utterly silent as the other representatives gathered. He seemed tense. When he began to speak, it was with utmost seriousness.

It immediately turned out that the Preacher's worry was for nothing, as the Director began explaining what a saw and the stick - a bow - were for. In detail.

The Preacher decided to forgive the Director the long-winded explanation when it looked like the anchorite genuinely did not know what a saw was for. The peoples of the higher levels, it seemed, were a strange bunch. He was not sure if the alchemists' Professor was also ignorant or just enjoyed listening to the lecture. The explanation of the 'bow' was a little more interesting. Bows were an old weapon for launching projectiles, like a slingshot but for longer distances. The warriors did not prefer projectile weapons, but some kept up the practice as a hobby and to brag about their skill.

"Years, Traveler has?" asked the Director to the anchorite- the Traveler's Creator. The Preacher blinked at the change of topic. The Creator anchorite also seemed to take a second to adjust. Then he spoke.

"Zero years. Five months."

"What?!" the warrior's Commander exclaimed. "He is a baby?!" Or spoke. In the Preacher's experience, the Commander was not a quiet man. In this case the Preacher forgave the volume, because what?

The Creator anchorite seemed perplexed at the reaction.

"The Traveler is not a baby. I created him for the mission of uniting the Temple and reviving my people, and all the skill he needed for that he had from his first waking moment." The Creator anchorite paused for a moment. "He did not have knowledge, since every attempted creation I simply gave knowledge to did not work, but I gave him curiosity, and he got all the knowledge he needed in days. He is not a baby."

"Baby, he is not. Child, he is," said the Director. "Playing, he likes." The image on the screen changed, showing the Traveler holding a saw and bow.

Ah. So it was about the Traveler the whole time.

"Days ago, an old saw, he found. Toys, he made. With his devotee friend, he played. Then, funny sounds, the saw made, when it, his friend shook." (Then his friend found that the saw made funny sounds when he shook it. I wanted to keep the grammar as close to bard language as possible. Sorry if it's hard to read.) "When hit while oddly bent, even more interesting sounds, the saw made. A bow to hit with, they found. Like this, the saw sounds now."

What proceeded to play from the sound-boxes was the most haunting noise the Preacher ever heard. It sounded almost like a wordless voice. It sounded like mourning. It was beautiful... except for the odd screeching sounds in some parts.

The Director faced the Creator with utmost seriousness.

"Your child, you will stop. Please."

#my writing #Chants of Sennaar #my fic #This is not great but there is so much opportunity for having a musical saw in here #This is just a fic to put a ton of Sennaar headcanons into #Also Traveler and friend found an alchemist to make rosin for the bow #if Traveler is technically an anchorite child then the musical saw is truly a joint product of all five peoples #Also I sort of want to name the Traveler changeling since he is a fairy child

Everytime I hear tears of the kingdom being referred to as "the best" Zelda game or smth like "it's truly the legend of zelda" I get one mile closer

#like. it had its moments. the music and the scenery and the designs were great. #but ultimately it just. it just wasnt that good. the plot was kinda eh and there was a bunch of stuff that was... questionable #and i know nintendo doesnt actually care about the timeline but they REALLY went for the throat #it was just. mediocre. ok. the little good there was (mostly the draconification) outbalanced by the bad #seriously if you want a good zelda game there are tons. skyward sword. oot and mm. twilight princess. #i havent played enough of the 2d to say anything but if you just like open world there's botw! which is like totk but better! #mb's two am rambling #totk

Recently went to see Hadestown.(btw the current West End cast is amazing) The ending was probably the most nuanced and haunting one I’ve seen. It’s such a great portrayal as to why people kept telling these tales for millennia.

It’s a sad song. It’s a tragedy. But we sing it anyway. Cause here’s the thing. To know how it ends, And still begin to sing it again. As if it might turn out this time.

It made me think of Merlin. Why after so many years people still can’t get over it. Because you see the golden age that could have been despite how it ended. And because every time you go back, you still believe things will turn out differently. Maybe Orpheus won’t turn back this time. Maybe Merlin will get to Arthur in time.

#merlin s5 has tons of plotholes #but the cinematic effect and brilliant casts still gave the illusion of a great tragedy #anyway #hadestown #musical theatre #bbc merlin #merlin thoughts

sorry to be a hater in the first degree but fake country music fans are so fucking annoying. you’ll trip over yourselves disavowing most country music, saying you only like the “good” stuff, and then get all excited when your milquetoast pop fave says they’re recording a “””country””” album. give me a break. maybe listen to “all the cool girls” by hailey whitters to put some shit in perspective.

#it strikes me as disingenuous and incredibly lazy #i don’t like luke bryan #and i feel confident saying that because i walked out of a concert of his i went to #just to see caylee hammack open #but just because i don’t like a lot of country radio doesn’t mean there isn’t a ton of great country music out there #both popular country and in many subgenres

Oh boy I’m listening to this soundtrack on YouTube (it’s from the scene where Lloyd connects with the source dragon for the first time) and!!! You can hear the dragon theme that gets established in season nine from the very start but later on they also layer in the dragon theme that they use in the pilots and season one and!!! this is literally making me emotional it’s so cool that they have so much music to work with from all the years and inserting a callback to the very start of it all is just. someone get me a chew toy to destroy please

#ninjago #everyone who sees this needs to listen to this soundtrack right now it is mandatory #(the og dragon theme starts at about 1:34 btw) #as always michael kramer and jay vincent deserve grammys #i haven’t listened to a ton of the music from this season but this particular soundtrack is. really hard to beat #i love whatever bell/chime is marking every other beat in the furor half it makes for a great build

This man is speaking so much truth. He has articulated this much better than I ever could. I ask the same question on the daily: where are all the rock bands? The direction of music these days is GRIM. It really does seem like there's only three mainstream boxes to tick: rap, pop girls and country. I miss my little white garage boy bands. Julian Casablancas, your initials are not JC for nothing. Resurrect the genre please. Amen.

#julian casablancas #the strokes #god i miss when bands were a legit mainstream thing #the state of music rn is dire #thank god we have Ghost at least #and maneskin #i know there are tons of great bands still working and touring #but i wish it was MAINSTREAM in 2023

I'm looking forward to packing up to move so much!! and then opening it all again there where I end up and setting up my home 😊 I'm not someone who likes unpacking after a trip, but when it's your whole home going somewhere new and exciting, I feel like it's different. I'm saying goodbye to so many things I don't need anymore, or never needed, and for the first time in my life getting to choose exactly what's going to be in my space, with an actual budget for things I need or even just want, and nobody else to impede me bring in their own stuff. ahhh it took so many years to get to this point but I can't wait!!!

#and I was very happy to come to this place too #for the majority of my time here I've been very pleased #I still remember my excitement when I learned we had a bathtub #I hadn't had a bathtub in my dorm so I felt like we were in luxury #and truly. despite the roaches and the blinds and the breakin #it's been a very reasonable apartment #with a responsive manager #there's tons of space. the floors are gorgeous. in-unit washer and dryer #even my aunt and uncle have to go to the basement for that in their fancy complex #a big room for me. a decent kitchen. came with a microwave. and fairly clean #great location. and despite the one incident. actually very secure #but in my new place I can host!!!! I can spread out!! use the bathroom whenever!! get a kitty cat!! #bake!! come home noisily at all hours! not tiptoe in the mornings!! play music!! be free!! #I'm so excited for my family and friends to visit :3 #mutuals this means you too!! come to the east coast! #and this is a new renovation so hopefully my cousin can come without her allergies acting up #my aunt and uncle have hosted so many times I would be so happy to return the favor #cor.txt
