I saw a fly crawling on the wall, and I said, “Wow! Suppose a person had the power to stick to a wall like an insect.” So I was often running and I thought, “What do I call him?” I tried Mosquito Man—that didn’t have any glamour. Insect Man—that was even worse. I went down the line and I got to Spider-Man! It sounded mysterious and dramatic. And lo, a legend was born!

Rest in peace, Stan Lee (December 28, 1922–November 12, 2018)

Fun Story: My director kept telling me and my tenor sax buddy to play softer. No matter what we did, it wasn’t soft enough for him. So getting frustrated, I told my buddy “Dont play this time. Just fake it” 

Our Band Director then informed us we sounded perfect. 

[fororchestra]

To my readers: “p” means quiet, “pp” means really quiet. I’ve never seen “pppp” before haha.

On the contrast, “f” means loud, and “ffff” probably means so loud you go unconscious.

[corruptbucky]

I had ffff in a piece once and my conductor told me to play as loudly as physically possible without falling off my chair…

[justtkeepcalmm-deactivated20250]

Me and my trombone buddies had “ffff” and he sat next to me and played so hard that he fell out of his chair.

The lengths we go for music.

[lady-gorthaur]

Okay yeah so I play the bass clarinet and the amount of air you have to move and the stiffness of the reed means it only has two settings and that is loud and louder, with an optional LOUDEST that includes a 50% probability of HORRIBLE CROAKING NOISE which is the bass equivalent of the ubiquitous clarinet shriek.

One day, when I was in concert band in high school, we got a new piece handed out for the first time, and there was a strange little commotion back in the tuba section — whispering, and pointing at something in the music, and swatting at each other’s hands all shhh don’t call attention to it. And although they did attract the attention of basically everyone else in the band, they managed to avoid being noticed by the band director, who gave us a few minutes to look over our parts and then said, “All right, let’s run through it up to section A.”

And here we are, cheerfully playing along, sounding reasonably competent — but everyone, when they have the attention to spare, is keeping an eye on the tuba players. They don’t come in for the first eight measures or so, and then when they do come in, what we see is:

[stifled giggling]

[reeeeeeally deep breath]

[COLOSSAL FOGHORN NOISE]

The entire band stops dead, in the cacophonous kind of way that a band stops when it hasn’t actually been cued to stop. The band director doesn’t even say anything, just looks straight back at the tubas and makes a helpless sort of why gesture.

In unison, the tuba players defend themselves: “THERE WERE FOUR F’S.”

FFFF is not really a rational dynamic marking for any instrument, but for the love of all that is holy why would you put it in a tuba part.

Oh man, so I play trombone, and we got this piece called Florentiner Marsch by Julius Fucik, and we saw this

Simple witchy things

-Draw sigils into candles and light them with intent (i.e “I am tired” “I feel happy”)

-if you don’t know any sigils draw simple symbols (heart for self love, a star for wishes, a smile for happy)`  

-Make moon-water and keep it in a tiny spray bottle

-Stir your tea clockwise for invoking and counter-clockwise for banishing

-Get a nice rock,( or a feather, even be a piece of yarn) that you like and keep it with you for good vibes (or you can charm it!)

-Make sure to take care of yourself, this one isn’t particularly witch related but it’s good advice.

-Burn candles for all reasons 

-Use sigils while cooking 

Thank you for helping me come up with ideas  @witcheon

I have never wanted to steal a jacket so badly in my life. Witchfinder uniform is just 👌👌👌 Thank you, Neil, for linking to a non Daily Mail site: https://t.co/jfJJ8SetI0

The traditional “throwing away of the firelighters” moment, recorded for posterity by papparazzi…

(Technically, it’s not his jacket: it belonged to a Witchfinder Corporal who passed on with honour, and was given to Newt that morning by WF Sgt Shadwell. Newt did not actually earn any of those medals.)
