i think my grandpa is in the middle of a duolingo lesson rn which is insane because he is already fluent in like 6+ languages. i think you can slow down a bit king this isn’t pokemon you don’t gotta master them all

#icarus speaks #he’s so cool #he’s also learning to play the flute rn i believe?? #from what i know he knows portuguese english german hebrew italian and braille #but god knows what he’s been up to when i wasn’t looking #probably spanish too actually. just all things considered

everybody hold on for a minute. john played a big piano (pipe organ) on his planet to free the fireflies. rose was supposed to "play the rain" and there was violin imagery going on with the streams of rain on her planet. dave had to scratch a big music disc on his planet (altho i think it was john who ended up doing it). do you guys hear me. hello

#altho i have no idea what jade's bass or flute connect to on her planet! #this probably means nothing but i thought it was interesting #homestuck #hs meta #homestuck meta #john egbert #rose lalonde #ascend descend rise up abscond lmao #dave strider #okay okay ill shut up now

Oh so you are one of the jiang' soupbot' yanli who will throw jiang cheng under the bus for little xianxian. Cool

this like the time someone accused me of only caring about Wei Wuxian's feelings. thank you for the laugh anon but also are you lost.

#do u not love the narrative parallel of the one time yanli sent wwx to go get JC and what ensued??? i'm a cql girl #they conspired together ship her to qinghe while she was unconscious because they knew she'd never leave them!!! what's not clicking #yanli is not a SOUPBOT but she is imo a codependent parentified queen. like she too suffers the slings and arrows of their upbringing and #the brutal murder of most of the people they know #also it's not yanli's fault that jiang cheng perceives being trusted to save wwx as one of the highest forms of love!!! one only she extend #to him jfm would never. wwx never does in canon! and you'd probably need a really long fic to get him there post canon. but #only she believes in him and then he lets wwx yeet himself off a cliff because he blames him for her death #and then he marches down the cliff searches for days and finds only a flute he spends the next 16 years toting around with him as he #desperately asserts that wwx isn't really dead. #for real if you primarily love the book then i think it is totally fair to be indifferent to the yanli-jc wwx conspiracy because it really #only shows up the once. but it is irresistible to me

I had a really similar experience actually. I started playing flute in middle school, but could never play in tune. I was always a little flat, even with the headjoint pushed in all the way. And my tone was noticeably breathy, very airy in a bad way no matter what I did.

It was frustrating. And embarrassing. Every time the concert band teacher stopped us and said "one of the flutes is out of tune" it was nearly always me.

Tl;dr -- 90% of my issues were the flute and I have to relearn some things now from playing wrong for years.

Fast forward to grown-up me. I decide to stay playing my old flute again, and yep, still flat! So definitely a me issue, right?

Well, I took the flute in to a local shop and asked for a basic cleaning and to see if it needed new pads.

Apparently it's just been broken this whole time. In some subtle way I can't explain, but the tech said it would cause most of the issues I had been having.

And it would have cost cost $450 to repair.

I went in to pick it up without repairing it (because this flute sells for $50 on ebay). And they happened to offer me a lightly used student flute for $400. This may sound like a scam, like why would they quote a slightly higher number to repair mine than to buy the used flute? A tactic by Big Flute to sell more Flute.

Anyway, they let me try the flute, of course. And oh my god. I'm not an expert, but I could instantly tell there was a huge difference.

Apparently I don't actually have a breathy tone and it's not me making everything a quarter tone flat. And notes come out effortlessly, I don't have to strain to get any sort of noise.

So I bought the flute.

I am relearning my embouchure, because I spent years trying to make my tone less breathy and my pitch less flat. Those adjustments do not sound good on a normal flute. I get to relax my embouchure and sound 10x better. I can play in all registers and not worry that something will be suddenly off pitch.

I just thought I was a bad instrumentalist...

#mirith #idk i saw this and just related so strongly #I'm so glad i figured it out eventually #I've been thinking this whole time i am a shitty flute player #nah #i mean probably still #but like #so many of my issues were due to equipment #ugh #i don't know why no one said #hey if your flute is always flat #maybe something's wrong with the flute #idk

What kind of music or songs would Bardaby sing or play?

idk! he strikes me as an Improv kinda guy - making it up as he goes, and/or whatever strikes him in the moment

#he plays: stuff that would annoy frank #a true clown doesn't stick to recipes methinks... #like i bet he Knows a bunch of songs and stuff #but he probably doesnt play/sing those unless specifically requested. and if he's in the mood to take requests #rambles from the bog #wh fantasy au #bardaby can hit Any genre #he's an everydog after all!!! #he sings he hums he howls. he turns a carrot into a flute when someone hides his accordion

In addition to being stuck on My Time at Sandrock these past few weeks, I've also been distracted by what basically amounts to "blorbo from my head". I was trying out something to see if it would possibly work as a way to run some 5e Waterdeep modules solo so I could pretend to have some post-epilogue adventures with Ari and Gale (long story short: no, it doesn't work well for that, the search continues!).

Despite it not working out for my intended purpose, I did get a little pulled into the story that wound up emerging, and got very attached to the randomized character I was playing.

This is Eliana (or rather, the best representation I could make of her in BG3). She is a level 3, half-elf bard. She has a whole whopping 7 AC, and her spell list consists of such combat bangers like "disguise self", "minor illusion", "faerie fire", and "charm person".

The other three party members are all rangers.

She has a -1 to her intelligence, but consistently rolls a 5 or lower on almost every INT based check (which seems to be about half of the checks she has to make). She introduced herself to her future boyfriend by continually pretending he and one of the other rangers were having an illicit moonlight affair.

Her charm person spell failed once during an encounter on an enemy and she rolled a Nat20 on deception to still convince him to hand over a box containing a potentially world ending McGuffin during combat. She has a rapier but didn't draw her weapon and do damage until like 75% of the way in. She talks to trees, not because it's an inherent ability or she's really into nature, but because it just seems polite at the time. (Sometimes they even talk back... sort of.)

She's befriended a random dire wolf and was nearly murdered by a cute little tabby cat. She disguised herself as the BBEG to interrogate a bunch of cultists who were trying to capture her. She has somehow managed to weaponize the Light cantrip.

Her mortal enemy is a door.

seen here, plotting said door's demise

She is utterly ridiculous and I love her.

So, of course I had to bring this powerhouse into BG3 for an honor mode run.

She did surprisingly well for the tutorial, but then she and Shadowheart forgot to have weapons equipped when walking into the first post-prologue fight and I got a very rude awakening when facing off against the Intellect Devourers. Poor SH died while Eliana ran like the dickens. I tried to alt-f4 to start the encounter over but the game was like "haha nice try" and saved as it was shutting down. After leaving poor SH to her doom, she went and found Gale and Astarion, remembered to equip a weapon, and got vengeance on the little pesky brains and revive my poor suffering cleric girl (who will soon be respecced into a poor suffering ranger girl once we find Withers, as well as the rest of the team).

I'm almost tempted to take bets on how soon this honor mode run is going to end. There is no way they're getting to Act 3 with that enabled. Probably not past the Grove even.

#i love her *clenches fist* so much #she is SUCH a d&d bard #so ridiculous #like i thought the spell list i chose would somehow be disastrous #but it somehow just made for very amusing and creative takes on encounters #she actually has (or had rather) a lute originally #but since ari has domain over bg3 lutes #i gave her a violin instead #she'll probably switch over to a flute once i find one in-game #(she has not managed to top ari's circus shenanigans... but i don't think anything will take that crown)

music inaccuracies are basically ubiquitous in film and stuff so im frankly just pleased that it DID teach a wider audience sort of what a tritone is bc thats awesome. remember when stranger things was praised for its accuracy and stuff and then in the 4th of july season they had a marching snare on a modern harness when those werent invented until a few years later

#ari opinion hour #like. lmao unsurprising #like typical they never get that stuff right #they havent put anachronistic flutes in anywhere YET but when they do oh BELIEVE me i will have words on the matter #i would not go so far as to say the tritone is my FAVORITE interval but it is one of the most interesting. Second favorite perhaps #(probably my favorite is minor seventh) #also shoutout to when i was listening to that one episode of midnight burger (LOVE that episode) and i clocked that some of the background #music they used was like complex 4 part choral writing and i was like HEY WAIT THEY DID NOT HAVE THAT IN THE 14TH CENTURY #lmao

ALSO IM NOT SAYING FLUTE IS EASY I KNOW IT'S NOT I LITERALLY CHOSE NOT TO PLAY IT BC I DONT THINK I HAVE THE TALENT OR AIR CONTROL

I'M JUST TRYING TO SAY VIRGIL WOULD GO INTO BAND LIKE NO CLUE ABOUT IT AND JUST "oh this is the small inconvenient one, right?" VIBES. AND THEN BEING WRONG. BUT TOO LATE HE'S GOOD AT IT.

(the amount of times I've seen my friend struggle with his flute. oh god. also seen him pull it from out of nowhere like a thousand times. Idk where he's hiding it. It just. Appears sometimes. Remus type shit.)

Vee just touches the Flute and he's already gained it's power XD No but seriously I applaud anyone who can play an instrument I was a Theater Gay for a reason /light hearted

The way wwx tries so hard to find a justification for all of lwj drunk antics when the reason is just... gay... he's gay.

#oh he probably doesn't like me playing the flute for wen ning because he frows upon demonic techniques #nah fam he just is jaleous because hes got a big gay crush on you and you never played for him #wangxian #wwx #lwj #grandmaster of demonic cultivation #oh he points at me and says mine? hes talking about the sword obvs #wwx youre an idiot #mxtx

Made some Battle Subway Pass sprites for my Toyhouse profile, but y'all can use them too!

Lemme know if you want different colors! I used gold for an "unlimited free rides" pass, and blue for like, everything else. Please get them from Toyhouse since Tumblr will probably destroy the quality. (credit is nice, but not necessary, just don't copy it)

I also wanna make like, a nice big version of a faux subway pass. I can print cards.... hell I can do NFC funny stuff with it. Just so I can keep one of these in my wallet. :3c

#submas #battle subway #gear station #toyhouse resources #pokemon black and white #I wanted it to match my other sprites and the dream world stuff #It looks REALLY good as a smol #I'll probably do a Celestica Flute and a Hisuian Pokeball in this style so everything matches

[sesamestreep]

it ain’t much but it’s honest work

#I have no memory of explaining this to this particular friend #but I talk about the magic flute A LOT so #the magic flute #die zauberflöte #im not gonna lie it was probably when that Etsy commercial was going around and I was in a state of perma rage over their song choice

[kakushigotofanclub]

Okay does anyone else think Sabito’s theme sounds vaguely Celtic or is that just me

#just certain parts of it #i thought it was just the flute but i listened to a version without the flute and it still sounds vaguely celtic to me #idk it’s probably me being too irish again
