We finally weaponized gay chicken

I told y’all about the time at Adeevka, right?

[sleepycleric-blog]

Tell us a story, Frosty!

[frosty-the-snowden]

I was at Adeevka where the Ukrainians are trying to take a strategically-located overpass from the Separs (I was there as a peaceful tourist who never even touched a firearm, of course) and the positions there are about 400 or so meters away from each other, so if you scream loud enough the fucks on the other side can actually hear you.

Up to this point, I’d observed a guy dropping his phone like it was going to bite him when I told him the Bruno Mars song he was playing was gay, and could reliably make people leave the room by asking them “would you rather sit on a chocolate cake and suck a dick, or eat a chocolate cake while getting fucked in the ass”, so it’s at this point in the trenches that a flash of inspiration hits me.

In my best Russian (which was utterly broken but “proper” Russian grammar is barbaric caveman-speak anyway) I scream out “next guy that shoots is gay”. And I swear to whatever god exists that two solid minutes of silence followed. It was some guns-fall-silent Christmas miracle shit

[taki-sensei]

i have sound/light/texture synesthesia and made this aesthetic (for woodwinds) because i’m tired of always trying to explain to people what music feels like to me, since it always makes me seem weird. whenever i hear sounds, in my head it’s a combination of a feeling and a type of light. these images are the closest i can find to what i feel/see in my head. for me, upper woodwinds always look translucent and bright and fragile and iridescent, but the substances gradually become more opaque as pitches get lower and rougher in texture.

also i don’t like saxophone sounds because it always looks like neon to me and doesn’t fit in, at least not to me, but it depends on the viewer/listener. will probably make brass, percussion, and string aesthetics later.

WOW I NEVER KNEW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT UNTIL NOW THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS

[flute-saraswati]

Talking to My Oboe Teacher Be Like:

Me: So my oboe sounds as good as it can, which basically sounds like a baby cheetah learning to sing opera, but my D flat isn't working.

Teacher: It doesn't play at all?

Me: Well, I mean it plays a little bit but it doesn't produce a full tone, you know?

Teacher: I think so. Does it should like when you gurgle mouth wash?

Me: No, it kind of sounds like I Just got food stuck in my reed, but I checked and I didn't. It sort of sounds like a duck attempting to quack a D flat.

Teacher: What does it sound like?

Me: I guess you could say it sounds like a snake burping onto a cloud of Chloroform.

Teacher: Wanna try one more analogy?

Me: I guess it sounds like I'm holding an oboe, but a bassoon sound is coming out from the depths of hell.

Teacher: Oh there's a screw that fixes that

god same

[sleepless-sincerity]

You know you’re an oboe player when you have a vague and strangely traumatic dream about not being able to tune the orchestra properly because your reed is suddenly playing an entire semitone sharp.

[godeepthroatanoboe]

When that wasn’t a dream; it was the last concert you played at

[flute-saraswati]

that happened

[soyouwanttoplaytheflute]

[panic-at-the-band-room-blog]

[soyouwanttoplaytheflute]

Hahaha I wasn’t expecting so many creative answers! It’s an Italian piccolo which goes down to a C ! 19th century :) looks so beautiful and I’m curious to know how it sounds!

[nargalsofthesoul]

No you insufferable butthole fiddlers, it’s a kazoo.

horror movie where you’re sent smashed reeds and a ransom note saying that if you don’t practise, your best reed won’t survive the night
