underrated part of balence repair scene is when brnine has to tap valence’s fingers in a certain order to open up their arm casing... very comparing hand sizes as an excuse to flirt vibes. to Me.
Ok, in a concert band AU what instrument would each of the Blue Channel crew play?
For my money, it'd be:
-Brnine is the percussionist who is always 10 mins late but is the only because no one else helps them carry all the heavy drums and cymbals.
-Cori is the 2nd chair trumpet who passed out during a performance when she tried to circular breath.
-Phrygian is the concert hall. Sometimes they're also the player grand piano.
-Thisbe is on tuba. She's got the best time sense in the room and everyone relies on her more than the conductor. No one realizes this unless she's out sick. She's never out sick.
-Figure used to play clarinet, but they haven't had a mouth for a while so they're learning percussion with Brnine.
-Eclectic is on tenor sax. He manages to work The Lick into every warm up, and hides detective novels in his music binder.
-Gucci is the emotionally abusive conductor. She gets all the applause, and never lets anyone admit that the band would play just ad well without her
HAPPY SECRET SAMOL EVERYONE! This is my gift to @lie-lichen, their prompt was "Pickman trapped in a coffee shop AU" and it's genuinely one of the best prompts I've ever gotten.
for @esdyre i got to paint Es and Dyre at a masquerade kinda phantom of the opera style with Dyre in a Red Death costume and Es in something of a lavender venetian-inspired masquerade gown. I had so much fun with this! :)
You know the old saying, ‘those thrown in pits will build ladders.’ For years, I believed that whoever wrote that never climbed a day in their life. After all, what pit has the material–the wood, the nails, the hammers–needed to build a ladder? Who, tossed aside by the more powerful, could find the will to build handholds and rungs from nothing at all? How does anyone, I wondered, escape the depth? But I realized something I had not considered. The powerful are frugal and it is costly to dig a new pit for each person you wish to bury. The weak, the downtrodden, the dismissed, the disfigured, the doomed. We are all neighbors. And we are too, the wood, the nails, the hammers, needed to build ladders.
