never ever getting over robby counting out his pittlings in the background 😭😭😭😭

I'm not a prayin' man, but the night I found out my at-the-time-fiancé had been sending sex horny nasty horny sex asks to my friend on THIS VERY WEBSITE, I sat in the car in the parking lot of an abandoned church and watched a family of deer play in the snow, and it didn't quite feel like a sign because that part of Pennsylvania was mostly deer and abandoned buildings and snow, but it felt nice, and once the tears stopped, I looked down at my phone and my other friend had sent me a text that said, "HE'S TRYING TO CHEAT ON YOU ON THE ONE DIRECTION IMAGINES WEBSITE?" and I realized that life is all about your curated experience. A real choose-your-own-adventure deal. I have never seen someone post about One Direction on here in my life.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

This is the best band post

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

Holy fucik

I always reblog this because it never fails to actually make me snort

lightspeedsound

according to my german-born/speaking boyfriend: Above the eight fortes in that Fucik piece it says “Nichts fuer Lauwarmduscher” which is “this is not for people who take lukewarm showers”

t-eyla

confirmed, and at the end it says “kein langsamer werden” which roughly translates to “don’t you fucking slow down or else”

Katie Gardner and Travis Stoll deciding to remain childless in their adult life because they were both heavily parentified in childhood and also a child is not required for a happy life

Katie Gardner being a chill aunt to her niblings both biological and found

*Demeter is not a great godly parent pjo wise (see Meg), the chthonic powers and the fact that she chooses to continue to interact w the underworld (Stolls, Nico and his court) just changed uncaring to mutual annoyance w each other.

wait so tratie quest au ... here's what i'm thinking

takes place during hoo, so with the threat of the second giant war looming.

we're going to be assuming they're all still at camp lol

as for the quest; hippolytus, the giant which is the bane of hermes. a messenger. advancing an army towards camp half blood through an underworld tunnel.

assuming the tunnel is alive, the quintet's task is to "kill" the tunnel.

however, i will say it would definitely be a lot more character-driven as a story.

drew, connor, malcolm also on the quest.

traveling in a battered old caravan. chaotic and dangerous road trip ensues.

katie gets prophetic dreams.

travis has daddy issues.

SOO much angst .. and hurt comfort

tldr katie, travis, connor, drew, and malcolm go on a dangerous road trip to stop the bane of hermes from ascending his army forward. it will be tratie focused.

adhsfhsdj it's extremely rough right now but just putting it out there for the 3 other tratie enthusiasts. should i write this?

EDIT: ITS ON AO3!!!
