Pianist problems: when you see a piano in public and you go "I MUST PLAY" and then remember that you have nothing to play, because you started working on new repertoire just a weeks ago and you are no longer able to play by memory the pieces you mastered 2 months ago

Oh man... I feel like you guys (the Käärijä and Joker Out fandom) are my home so I must share this funny story with you guys: I started my job at a Catholic school today and when I used my personal Laptop, I forgot that my lock screen is Jere in the bolero (aka tits out and everything, and there's special emphasis on the tits) my coworkers saw it, and two of them are a monk and a priest (of course...) and to top it off, I was writing the next chapter of my (you guessed it) monk!Jere fic with smut and they saw it too. The priest flinched and the monk blushed hard. I tried so hard not to laugh. I really didn't know what to do. 🤣 I've made a really good impression! Lol

sweet mother give me strength to finish this chapter tonight and not spend 3hrs looking for the perfect soundtrack

#if I don't get the exact cyberpunk cowboy music i will weep okay #the gang is in a backwater city with golems and monorails and smugglers and upside down lighthouses and i NEED that twang of a banjo #or the mournful dirge of a drunk pianist from down the tavern #...the ballad of giants on harmonica seeping in from the window left ajar-spanning across a rustling cornfield that sounds like the sea #DO YOU SEE MY PROBLEM #/cries into my hands/ save me esoteric soundscapes on yt. save me

For better and for worse, [Sondheim's] is the most systematic and unsentimental mind that has ever addressed itself to the American musical—the sort of mind one might more easily imagine designing particle accelerators, or computer viruses too wily to destroy. “The first music teacher I had at Williams College was a man named Robert Barrow,” he says. “And everybody hated him because he was very dry, and I thought he was wonderful because he was very dry. And Barrow made me realize that all my romantic views of art were nonsense. I had always thought an angel came down and sat on your shoulder and whispered in your ear ‘dah-dah-dah-dum.’ Never occurred to me that art was something worked out. And suddenly it was the skies opening up. As soon as you find out what a leading tone is, you think, Oh my God. What a diatonic scale is—Oh my God! The logic of it. And, of course, what that meant to me was: Well, I can do that. Because you just don’t know. You think it’s a talent, you think you’re born with this thing. What I’ve found and what I believe is that everybody is talented. It’s just that some people get it developed and some don’t.”

(x) on the one hand, it's unbelievably funny that sondheim is like, "everyone would be thrilled to learn about leading tones and diatonic scales. the fact that i felt this way about them has nothing to do with me having any kind of talent. this is just the normal way for people to respond." but on the other hand i truly love so much knowing that one of the great creative luminaries of his century agreed with me that Teaching People Stuff Is Good Actually.

#one way i'd like started souring on things and a thing i still have a grudge over #was how often i'd hear or read people talking about the importance of teaching math in a way that nurtured mathematical creativity #meaning like: lots of problem solving with open ended problems not a lot of sitting down and doing your facts #and this made me feel very crazy bc i had taken piano lessons as a kid #(a 'purely' 'creative' pursuit) #and like... MUCH of my memory of learning to play the piano was. uh. #boring uncreative rote repetition in the service of building automaticity #and i mean. i was not a good piano student and i have no way of assessing my piano teacher's skill #but it's difficult for me to imagine a path to being a good pianist that does not run throough a lot of scales #or a way of even just memorizing a single piece that doesn't involve playing it until you're blue in the face #anyway. this isn't really about piano. it's about like #this notion that teachers had of capital-C Creativity #that felt totally separated from like the specifics of what i knew it meant to pursue like. many kinds of creative pursuits. #in a way that was like... what are you basing this on. where are you getting this idea. what does this look like in your head. #most of you are not people who consider yourselves to be particularly creative math thinkers #so what makes you feel like you know what it takes to turn someone into a creative math thinker

pulling up kalpas' mask to gently kiss him or anything with him being vulnerable. pulling off his glove to kiss his hand or hugging him under all that armor.

-pianist anon ^_^

pulling off his one glove to hold hands and he's like "you could have just held my other hand" and you just go "no :)" and that's the whole conversation 💀

but imagine you have to take the mask off slowly (because no one wants a startled Kalpas on their hands) and he complains about you being too slow so you start with kisses on his cheek and work your way up as you lift the mask 😭

soft kalpas is v ooc is best Kalpas and I will die on this hill. give me Kalpas baking with rin, give me cuddles with werewolf Kalpas, give me coffee dates that Emile crashes, give 👏 me 👏 soft 👏 kalpas 👏

#pianist anon!! 🧡🧡 #i am down so bad its not even funny #i just wish i did anything other than sleep rn #the problem is #IM THE ONE who should be giving soft kalpas #WHERE IS IT BRAIN #HUH #WHERE IS SOFT KALPAS 😭😭😭 #i swear every fucking time i say “this is the week i go to the library and write” #i get me period or i get sick or my neighbors keep me up all night #i need to live in the fucking woods #im going insane in case you couldnt tell

[lorillee]

also as the resident piano expert how would you most efficiently go about getting banned from piano. i am considering to attempt this in real life

-karmaicperfection

To Be Honest i know like borderline nothing about piano competitions because i participated in one a single time and like it didnt go terribly wrong but all around since lord knows i am not a performer it.... was not particularly enjoyed. regardless since phoenix by the time the piano equivalent of aa3 finishes is world famous, if he got into a significantly large enough scandal he could probably just get blacklisted by all the major piano competitions or something

#of course the problem becomes figuring out how to create a piano related scandal #because like again. you cant really cheat in a piano competition you either know the piece or you dont #yknow. ill have to think on it #ask #karmaicperfection #aa pianist au

[pinkanonhopes]

trying to actually write music. wow.

#i have some sort of chord progression #the problem is #that i mainly play piano #it's hard to come up with singing melodies while it's much easier to try pianistic melodies #do you know what i mean?? #so i'm just writing a nice background thingy. #ugh. #leo scrive

Hyperthyroidism part 1 of 2- what it is, symptoms, and diagnosis story

I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism at the age of 15. Hyperthyroidism AKA over active thyroid is a condition where your thyroid produces too much thyroxine hormone. It is a manageable condition with medication which I take daily and I have regular appointments with my endocrinologist for this condition...left untreated or not regularly managed under the care of a doctor hyperthyroidism can cause very serious issues that can be fatal...the major ones include heart attack, stroke, and thyroid storm but let's talk about what happened leading up to the diagnosis...

When I was 15 I was in a residential treatment facility for Orthorexia and anorexia nervosa. It was difficult at first for me to actually get diagnosed because many of the symptoms I was experiencing mimicked symptoms of someone who has anorexia and Orthorexia & is either actively engaged in the unhealthy behaviors of these eating disorders or is going through the re-feeding process[which I was in that time]. The symptoms I was experiencing were rapid weight loss and extremely fast metabolism despite what I ate, over heating easily and often, high levels of anxiety, fidgety, antsy, need to be doing something constantly, irritable- lower than average tolerance to frustration/inconveniance/ annoyance ,hair loss, trembling in hands and fingers, fatigue, insomnia, my skin was always damp and clammy to the touch, I had issues with digestion...everything I ate went right through me very quickly so I was in the bathroom a lot, I was experiencing irregular heart beat [heart murmur], my stomach hurt pretty much constantly and I was forever bloated . So if you are reading this & you are not familiar with eating disorders and the effects of them and the effects of early recovery and re-feeding let me just tell you that almost every one of those symptoms could be attributed to eating disorders and re-feeding. All the professionals at the residential I was at understandably took my symptoms and complaints as part of my eating disorders, malnourishment and being early in to re-feeding. The problem was the symptoms continued, even got worse as time went on and I was losing more and more weight. I actually ended up being accused multiple times by the staff , my therapist, nutritionist and psychiatrist at the residential of secretly exercising while in treatment, purging, hiding food...doing something I was NOT supposed to be doing to cause my weight loss to continue....I was becoming thinner and sicker being treated for my eating disorders and it was absolute hell because ironically I was not engaging in any of the things I was being accused of but the treatment center still treated me as if I was...I was given a feeding tube, put on one to one observation with a staff member 24/7 which meant I had to be with a staff member no matter what...a staff had to watch me while I slept, while I ate, showered, used the bathroom, sat in group, walked down the hall etc. It went even further to where I was put on wheelchair restriction so I was not allowed to walk anymore to keep me from losing weight . None of that helped and I got worse - my blood work showed that my kidneys were not functioning properly, ekgs showed my heart murmur was getting worse- I was very weak, my neck and eyes looked puffy and swollen, my stomach pain increased and I was nauseous most of the time. The residential sent me to the hospital at this point and after 4 days in the hospital I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and put on medication. I spent 6 days total in the hospital and then went back to the residential treatment center. I have no underlying condition or disease that caused my hyperthyroidism and it is not something that is brought on by eating disorders...it is just something I developed. According to my doctors my hyperthyroidism is pretty severe which presents more risk of other complications mostly with my heart, my eyes, my bone density, and reproductive organs. It is a little worrisome because I already have heart problems and have already had a heart surgery. I already have the sort of precursor to osteoporosis known as osteopenia and my reproductive organs have long ago bit the dust [I am completely infertile/sterile] due to struggling with eating disorders from age 7 - age 15. On medications for my hyperthyroidism- my symptoms are less & much more manageable however there are things I have to avoid but that will be covered in part 2

This is my oldest brother, Theo, watching some gaming live stream and Zues(our German shepherd husky mix) was apparently wanting to watch too😂

I just walked in to Theo's room to tell him I am getting door dash for dinner [it's just Theo and I home tonight- parents are out] and see if he wants me to order him food as well & I walked in to this! Too funny not to snap a picture & share...
