Oh so if I want a string instrument I have to know what TYPE I want? Nobody is willing to put a board for a neck and some strings on any old box for me and call it a day? It has to be some min $200 masterpiece of craftsmanship?

#I’m so spoiled by piano. nobody wants their pianos. people will pay you to take away their pianos. #what I want is a MANDOLA but I’m in nowheresville Canada and have zero chance of getting a mandola #I don’t like the high pitched instruments so much #if I did I’d just play ukulele which I already have #it’s not that deep! I just want a box to make noise with! #I’m not a musician #I’m so bad at music that I FAILED piano… I didn’t even know you could fail at hobbies! somehow I did it! #ok that’s a lie I plod along uselessly in my study of piano to this day #but the point is I am a single person market for crude handmade instruments and there are NONE in my whole ass province

#I can’t believe under 10 minutes is winning #what utopia do y’all live in? #once I made it to the nearest library I’d be in danger of being stabbed to death cause it’s right downtown #one of the security guards there was killed for asking a group of kids to be quiet #not long ago #anyways.

everyone hates orange until they actually see her in context. "oh it's such an ugly color, too bright!" look at sunsets and autumn, look at campfires and deserts. she's the most beautiful and special part of the scene. now apologize.

#we envision a digital screen of orange and go “this color is just too much” when we made it that way #we took it out of context in a way that made it ugly and then blamed the color itself

conrad veidt,

#SO TRUE i literally just finished Different From The Others

[thewordsayer]

Just finished drawing Jane from The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari!

This piece took so long (about 3-4 days!) but I’m proud of it! it was a really fun exercise in perspective, texture, and shading.

#Woah!!! #i love your art

[thewordsayer]

I’ve been misspelling his name this whole time…

#conrad veidt #with a D

Nifty, thank you!

Might you have any other Veigt film recommendations??

So a while ago, I made a post listing all the Veidt films I'd seen and what I thought of them. It's a bit outdated, as I have seen Casablanca now, but here's the list!

[two ink drawings of Conrad Veidt in the cabinet of doctor caligari. both are holding flowers, one is tiny, full body and in green ink, the other is just a portrait. both are pink tinted]

#the cabinet of dr. caligari #conrad veidt #it’s weird how handsome he is when he really shouldn’t be #this is a horrible depiction of him tho #the tint is just my lighting

[thewordsayer]

I have now watched Caligari because of you!

I just had a discussion with my friend about fanfiction and how we tend to assume that women are the writers without any actual proof. Then I said, hey, I know fanfiction written by gay and trans dudes. But then I remembered, wait, I think I know one writer who just must be cis het based on his work. Anyway, all writers, be honest, who are you?

Please reblog if you're interested in the results.
