Hellooo is this where I can get the tea?

I have to say Tea means something very different to me, but that's just because of how my school explained consent.

Either way I love drinking tea, and talking about tea.

*gasp*
”unconscious people don’t want tea”???

i know that one :DD

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)

*Happy noises*

this was my internal reaction when i saw it as well lol

i’m home now and i never talked to them about it and i’m sad

*remembers next year exists and is less sad*

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.

alright, here goes:

the day after, it rained. it rained and washed the sidewalks, the grass, giving life to it. it was beautiful. i saw my life in that rain. the pain, the feeling of sadness. i broke more than just a few things in the past. but this rain was different. it wasnt gods tears, weeping at the world. it was cleansing, it was a refresh. i took a deep breath in, wistfully thinking back to a life before i knew strife, a place of black and white and simple decisions. a time before addiction. i breathed out, and it was like my feelings left with it, the steam lightly clouding the cold window with memory. today, i know, is a new day. today, the world has chosen to wash itself clean. so why cant i?

@Shadowed what do you think?

ooh that’s really good! i like it!!

Day 3: Path (timezones are gonna be fun lol)

“Raining isn’t the sky weeping. Raining is the sky ridding itself of its pains from the previous day and starting afresh.”

Hi?? 

Hi!!

*nervously emerges, shielding eyes from light*

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*

*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

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

resurrecting this to say:

b melodic minor argh

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!

eet fisiquallie paaynse miii tou righte liek dis

wow, that was…

beautiful and sad and heartbreaking and so many other emotions all at once

(in a good way tho! you write really well!!)

I wrote some more things! idk if they’re good but enjoy ig?

The Mask

Running

as an english person and english history/lore enthusiast this makes me happy  not to mention the great writing in there! if you’re interested in learning more about those kinds of stories, i really recommend Storyland by Amy Jeffs, it explains british lore really well (but if you don’t want to/aren’t interested that’s also fine, i just thought i’d mention it)

Haven’t posted anything here (or anywhere lol) for a while sooo… have an art : )

i’m in the process of trying to join, i’m not really clear on what goes on but i’ll just do some art and have fun i guess haha
