In celebration of merMay and the end of finals have a mer Waterspark au y/n!

In the au I’ve had in the back of my mind that Sun and Moon refer to y/n as “Koi” behind the scenes because of their shyness. So I thought it would be very fitting for y/n to be a koi fish mermaid :)

#finals are over I’m freeeeeeeeee #now I may return to my comfort fixation mwahahaha! #mermay #dca mermay #dca au #Waterspark au #Waterspark bay #waterpark au #sb sundrop #sb sun #it feels so good to be able to draw again #I know sun is the Aztec mascot but him being able to play the ukulele just felt very fitting for him #what better way to start the summer than with mermaids and waterparks #crunch art

The fact that Ruben doesn’t remember what happened is absolutely sending me.

Like, imagine your name is Ruben Hopclap. You wake up in front of a ruined school gym wearing clothes you don’t recognize and missing your favorite necklace. You don’t remember falling asleep. Your chest hurts.

Uncle Henry is there talking to principal Auegfort over scraps of a robot. For a moment he looks at you like you’re a ghost before wrapping you in a tight hug. He asks what you remember. You tell him you remember packing your bag to go to the mountains of chaos for your spring break quest. You don’t remember anything after that. He hugs you again.

Your party’s there too. Most of them at least. Along with another party that you recognize as the Bad Kids, the most infamous party in your grade, maybe in the whole school. You tamp down any jealousy you might feel about that when you see the way that Mary Ann Almost-but-not-quite smiles at their barbarian. Instead you go to where Oisin and Ivy are huddle together, speaking softly to each other.

You ask where Kipperlily is. They look uncomfortable. For a moment you think about asking after Buddy, but then you realize you don’t know who that is. They keep avoiding answering the question, so you walk away. You almost go to talk to Lucy, but you see how uncomfortable she looks, how she flinches away when you start to move towards her. You decide to leave her alone.

Eventually Henry takes you home. On the drive home he turns on the radio and you hear yourself singing a song you’ve never heard. It’s loud and chaotic and so so angry. The sound of it makes you want to throw up. You turn it off and ride in silence back to the house.

The walls of your bedroom have been painted a deep, bloody red. There’s an electric guitar that you don’t know how to play leaning against the wall. Your desk is covered in notes and plans, some of it written in codes you can’t decipher. That doesn’t really matter because you don’t understand the stuff that’s not in code either.

Your parents look almost scared of you when you ask where your normal clothes are. They tell you that you got rid of them. They keep apologizing, like they think you’ll get mad at them. You tell them it’s okay, but still search your closet for something a bit more your style. You find a box shoved into a corner, under some clothes. Inside is your puka shell necklace and your ukulele. The string on the necklace is broken like it had been ripped off. The body of the ukulele is cracked like it had been thrown to the ground. You decide to deal with that in the morning.

You fall asleep and you dream of a girl. She’s a tiefling with red and black raccoon streaks in her hair. She smiles at you with lips painted black. If you stare at her for too long you can see blood dripping out of those lips and a crossbow bolt lodged in her side. You look at her and feel longing, feel grief, feel betrayal. You want to stop dreaming of her, but some part of you knows that any other dream would be filled with blood and crystals and rage. You accept that you are doomed to Wanda.

#dimension 20 #fantasy high #dimension 20 fhjy #ruben hopclap #rat grinders #meta #i just keep thinking about him #and I keep thinking about the rest of the party walking on eggshells around him #none of them want to let him know what happened over the last year #i Didn’t expect Ruben to be the rat grinder that I get emotional about #but here we are #god and people coming up to him flooding him for autographs and he’s got no clue what he’s so famous for #he’s dodging calls from Lola embers because he doesn’t know who that is but apparently he’s supposed to release an album #and she says they won’t produce any of the music he sends her that he sings softly and plays of his ukulele #because she says that that’s not who ‘Ruben hopclap’ is #and at this point he has no clue who Ruben hopclap is #poor guy

Modern AU Feuilly would play the banjo send post.

#see whereas R is the kind of guy to show up to any party with an acoustic guitar and WILL play it even if you don't ask #I feel like Feuilly is the kind of guy who bought a 10 euro ukulele as a joke when he was 16 and discovered a passion for music #and then proceeded to get really into more niche instruments i mean who the fuck plays the banjo in france ive never met one #anyway he wold never really talk about it you'd like go into his room and be like 'YO YOU PLAY THE BANJO' and hed be super casual about it #anyway I hope this makes sense #also he 100% plays the harmonica that guy has found a love for american folk music idc #les mis #les miserables #les miz #les amis de l'abc #the brick #musical theatre #enjolras #les mis headcanons #litblr #grantaire #feuilly #les mis feuilly

In a modern AU, Elucien seems like the type of couple to choose a bycicle over a car to help the environment (probably obsessed with recycled or reusable things). Or the one that lives in a van and uses filtered rainwater omg, travelling the world with their cute dog, minding their own business.

#also Lucien playing the guitar by a campfire? #or an ukulele just to make Elain laugh #also Elain might be into tarot (with her being a seer and all that) #they're just a hippie couple lol #all I want is for them to be happy🥹 #I just love thinking of them #van life #acotar #elain archeron #lucien vanserra #elucien #pro elucien #pro lucien vanserra #acotar series #pro elain #elain x lucien #acotar elain #lucien x elain #elain acotar #lucien and elain #lucien acotar #pro lucien #modern au #elucien moodboards

End Options]

Please specify in the comments or tags!

I’m sorry there aren’t more options, I only had 10 spaces or I would’ve included more. I tried to go with the most common and obviously with groups!

What counts for singing is up to you. I think most people sing some amount, but you can decide if yours counts or not. The reason for this is because you can teach yourself an instrument, so not requiring lessons or anything for either instruments or singing.

If you want to learn an instrument, especially if you don’t currently play any, I would love to know if you shared!

Please reblog! I wanna know how many of us play instuments ourselves and what that distribution is.

If you don’t listen to the Mechanisms don’t respond to this poll! I’m sure your answer is very interesting, but it will skew the results!

#the mechanisms #poll #i included the answer options in brackets because my phones screenreader wont read them if i havent voted. ive heard other peoples do but i- #included it to be safe! #i have experience with multiple instruments! #chronilogically they are guitar. recorder (which i still count even though it was required in my school because i still have it and can- #still play it). alto saxophone. piano/keyboard. ukulele. violin. electric bass. #i have most experience with the saxophone and least with the bass! #i also sing. i did musical theatre ages 10-14 and a bit of non-musical theatre outside of that. so i have *some* amoung of training.- #plus chorus in middle school. but very little of it was one-on-one. plus i take t now and my voice dropped! so i dont havd any idea how my- #singing is now. not that i really knew before. #anyway im very curious! i always think its interesting when people are really into music but play no instruments (like my dad) #sorry to harmonica and accordion for not being able to fit you in the poll and also everything else because there are so many instruments!

hi can someone tell me to go and spend €120 on a lightsaber? my mental health needs this (…) but I’m too goddamn indecisive and feel like this one ✨ treat yourself ✨ moment is going to bankrupt me for life sksksk

#(USD 130) #I was about to get a set of two for $60 on amazon but my boyfriend convinced me that at that point ‘I might as well look at a more mid-range #lightsaber instead’ and now he’s apologizing for making this too difficult for me #AS HE SHOULD #but like ?? physical activity is good right ?? #learning to spin some sabers wouldn’t hurt right ?? #OR this will end like my ukulele hyperfixation. bought one and played for 15 minutes and gave up because I didn’t learn fast enough sksk #mind you it was my first time ever playing an ukulele #HELP #lo talks

I personally like to believe that the first instrument fig learned to play was the ukulele back when she was a preppy cheerleader type but once her horns started coming in she gave it up for the bass because it seemed more punk

#i’m sure someone else has made a post like this before but i think we need to discuss this more #i just really like the idea of her going back to it in a few years and using it in fig and the cig fig songs #or maybe she does like a taylor swift style surprise song where she plays a fan favourite on the ukulele at each concert #fig feath #fantasy high #dimension 20

Apollo as Lester is special, because his pathetic scrumbly nature is so endearing that you have to root for it. Like yes king, fall on the ground and cry for 5 hours. Dramatically refuse critique and praise simultaneously. Play that ukulele at times where it is probably socially unacceptable. You’re winning king, keep it up!!

#I am a firm believer in lester playing dramatic ukulele solos during important meetings because he’s nervous #trials of apollo #toa apollo #sunny speaks #lester papadopoulos #why have I never used that tag

I'm very engaged in everyone's opinions on the characters from escaped audios, and love listening in on all the angst ya'll are discussing. However, I feel the need to share that only videos of escaped that I've watched are the Stuart little one, and the soda can/microwave.

Surely the only videos out there ever worth watching really.

#escaped audios #the thumbnails practically gave me a backhand when i saw them in my recommended and i had to watch them #how is any of his other works ever going to live up to those two? #idk cuz i haven't watched them yet #i'm kinda intimidated by them and i haven't felt like crying for a while but i'm sure i'll get to them some day #all i know is that someone plays ukulele and people cry

Whelp, I've graduated from writing poetry to full-on love songs. Unfortunately I don't have Gale's voice, so my own mezzo-soprano will have to suffice lol

Lyrics and chords under the cut!

If You’ll Catch Me

C Am F C C Am F G

C Am You saved me the very F C First day that we met C Am F G And since then you’ve always stood by me C Am Yet I still need to ask F C For my heart needs to know C Am F G If I fall will you be there to catch me?

C Am If I fall will you catch me? F C If I fall in love? C Am I’d give you each star in F G The heavens above C Am My heart and my soul F C Anything I can do C Am G I’d happily do it for you C Am F G If you’ll catch me

C Am I’ve been beaten down F C My heart broken and bruised C Am F G I’ve loved and been used before C Am But you’ve given me hope F C For the first time in ages C Am F G That I could be worth something more

If I fall will you catch me? If I fall in love? I’d give you each star in The heavens above My heart and my soul Anything I can do I’d happily do it for you If you’ll catch me

Em I’d paint the sky Em I’d blow your mind Am F G I’d give you the best gifts that I could find Em Yet you say you want Em Me as I am Am F G Not the miracle, just the man Em If it is true Em I’ll leave behind Am F G All of my old ambitions Em I’ll start right here Em And I will make Am F G A life with you my new mission

C Am If I fall will you catch me? F C If I fall in love? C Am I’d give you each star in F G The heavens above C Am My heart and my soul F C Anything I can do C Am G I’d happily do it for you

If I fall will you catch me? If I fall in love? I’d give you each star in The heavens above My heart and my soul Anything I can do I’d happily do it for you If you’ll catch me

C Am F G If you’ll catch me C If you’ll catch me
