    yesterday i bought the Cruel Prince by Holly Black, i’m so close to finishing it and it’s amazing, would definitely recommend if you like YA fantasy. (also i want to talk about it with someone lol)

    hii change of topic but does anyone else here do music theory? i get to harmonise bach-style chorales every week now and it breaks my brain slightly. like yes, i get it, consecutive 5ths and octaves are bad, 3rds and 6ths are good. i can understand how that makes it sound better. but who decided you’re only allowed to double a minor 3rd, not a major one? or that you shouldn’t use chord iii unless it’s in a circle of 5ths progression? or that 7ths need to be prepared as well as resolved, in the same voice??? who made those rules??? yes i know it was bach, like one of the most incredible composers and geniuses but still i’m allowed to complain because harmonising makes me do thinking and thinking is hard lol edit: oh also, on my concert band course there’s someone with a giant doomslug plushie that they take everywhere and i really want to go talk to them because omg doomsluggg but *social anxiety* lol

    hello theatrey peoples i need your help i want to audition for a thing it’s like a variety show kinda, with group dances, funny sketches, singing etc, by people around my area ages 6-25. it’s a massive production and it’s always amazing to go and see. i’d love to actually be in it next year. problem is, i can’t act, i can barely sing and i’m probably just passable at dancing (having done ballet but no other styles of dance) (also crippling stage anxiety is a thing lol) so if anyone has any ideas about how i can get good (or at least better) at those things by september, or any tips for auditions in general, i’d really appreciate it. thanks!

    i’m learning bsl (british sign language) at the moment, not very good at it but it’s really interesting. it’s also useful to have a conversation with your friend across the classroom with haha … i mean it takes a while because i don’t know many actual words so it’s mostly fingerspelling but still also i think sign language emojis would be great in terms of accessibility and also education but it might be a bit impractical in terms of how many new emojis they’d need to make, or how many types of sign language from around the world they’d need to include to make it fair.

    holy halls i forgot this existed-

    well, i’m back.

    maybe?

    we’ll see if i actually keep this up or forget about it in a few weeks, but for now, i’m back :D

    it’s been a while, some things have happened in my life since… october 2023? (it’s been THAT LONG?!) but i’m doing okay now :).

    so, what’s happened when i’ve been gone? what shenanigans have you amazing people been causing 😛 WAIT WHAT THE EMOJIS CHANGED??!!

    yeah, idk what to say really but thanks for reading ig, can’t wait to talk to old friends and make new friends again :))

    - shadowed

    ps. i did not expect people to be wishing me happy birthday 8 months after i stopped going on here, it’s really nice to know people remember me lol, and that’s probably one of the main reasons why i’m doing this :)

    so, you know how sensory overload exists?

    is emotional overload a thing? like, when you feel so many emotions at once that you get overwhelmed and can’t really function?

    (for context, i’m currently curled up in a corner of a music practice room on the verge of tears because playing music makes me feel things and i’ve played a lot of music today [yes, i know, it’s kinda a pathetic reason for being basically nonfunctional right now but whatever])

    anyway- how’s everyone’s day been? (or how was yesterday? am i timezoning right-?)

      thanks, it was actually kind of happy (in that i was giggling maniacally for no reason for a good ten minutes because i just felt really filled up with how much i love playing and music and working on composition with my bestie - i don’t care if it sounds cringe/nerdy lol) but the hugs are appreciated anyway :D.

    “Raining isn’t the sky weeping. Raining is the sky ridding itself of its pains from the previous day and starting afresh.” do with it what you will, i’m intrigued to see what you think of.

    will i get your magic powers if i swear the oath of the knights awkward? *pleading eyes* i only wanted to turn into a bookkk *starts quietly sobbing*
  17. Shadowed
    wait you guys get magic book powers?? that’s sooo not fair!!! i just get social anxiety! *sticks head out from under library table* um, so are you a human or not? i’m kind of allergic to humans if i’m around them too long.
  18. Shadowed
    *nervously emerges, shielding eyes from light* yay! um, i like books! do you like books? i really like books! *sits down, visibly exhausted because social interaction can do that to a person* *is shocked at themselves that they consider themselves a person and not exactly thirty four gremlins in a trench coat masquerading as a human* (sorry, idk where that last part came from lol i’m feeling particularly insane today) a huMAN BEING?!! *runs for the hills* (curse this stupid mobile device and not being able to edit quotes into a post)
  19. Shadowed
    *emerges from dark corner* ummm hello??? *quickly retreats*

    i need to know if there’s a word for this (i should probably preface this by saying i’m asexual and that’s not what i’m questioning here) but basically, i like the idea of having a girlfriend, i would even go as far as to say i actively want a girlfriend, but my idea of a relationship is hugging and being best friends, rather than kissing or any of… the other stuff. i’m not aromantic, and i have been going by the label lesbiromantic, but i feel like it doesn’t accurately fit anymore. any help would be appreciated :). and also that meme is unfortunately accurate lol
  21. Shadowed
    idk if there’s anyone on here who can relate but i’m having a slight crisis atm in that i’m pretty sure i’m some form of not neurotypical. (specifically autism + maybe inattentive adhd.) except there’s no chance of me ever getting diagnosed with anything because i mask all the signs of it because social acceptance (and i’ve basically built my entire personality and self worth around being the perfect daughter who studies hard and gets good grades and is always quiet but fine at home, so telling my parents would mean shattering all of that, which i’ve spent a LOT of time and energy on, and i don’t think i’m prepared to do that). at school, everything is really hard all the time and i can’t socialise like everyone else and i get sensory overload a lot and why do some people not just leave you alone when you clearly need it. this has been going on for a while and i think i’m starting to reach some kind of breaking point where one day i’ll just snap and not be able to function at all. does anyone have any advice for avoiding complete burnout? sorry, that wasn’t meant to go that long and probably made no sense, feel free to ignore my ramblings

    i can only play 2/3 notes higher than i can on my normal flute at the moment, but i’m working on it :P

      SHINY!! Very cool!

    agreed. also, i’m playing Hypnosis by Ian Clarke and it is genuinely one of the most melancholy and beautiful pieces i have ever had the pleasure of playing (to be fair i’ve been playing for 6 years so that’s not really saying a lot, i’m nowhere near 35 years!) you should totally go listen to it, it’s great edit: i’m also playing Waltz from John Rutter’s Suite Antique which is jazz-style and really fun!
  24. Shadowed

  25. Shadowed
