Asexual Panromantic Transwhatever saxophone player. (Asexual; experiencing no sexual feelings or desires; not feeling sexual attraction to anyone. Panromantic: the same as pansexual except without the sexual attraction. Attraction is not dependent on gender; pan people are attracted to the person before anything. Transwhatever is a gender identity defined as: "idk what the hell gender I am but I sure as hell ain't cis and I've tried so hard to figure out my gender but now I'm apathetic to it")

So, I don't really have anything else to post about except. But I did just want to discuss this.

So, in the fifth grade, I discovered I was bisexual. I spent so long just really thinking about it, wondering if I was "really" bisexual. I came out to my friend in the sixth grade, and then they promptly came out to me as bisexual too! That was very funny, as my other friend also came out to us a few hours later.

but something didn't feel right, so I went to the I internet. Where I found pansexuality..

I think the key phrase that sold it for me was "No preference". And so, I went through that. I know that bisexuality and pansexuality are very similar, but I was looking at the definitions.

something was still wrong, whenever the fellow boys at school talked about their "fantasies", I realized I always thought about a romantic relationship, never anything extremely sexual (kissing at the most). I confided in my AroAce friend, who told me to google "asexuality".

Where do I sit on the asexual spectrum? I still am not quite sure. All I know is that this is the most comfortable I have felt in my skin for a while.

Anyway, I hope everyone who sees this has a good day. I wish you all luck on finding yourself.

ALERT TO ALL FELLOW ARTISTS!!!!!

I’ve noticed recently that some people have been drawing the saxophone very inaccurately. Not necessarily the saxophone itself, but the person playing it. (I know how hard it is to draw the sax. Trust me, I’ve tried.)

1. Neck straps

I’ve gotta tell you guys; unless your character is absolutely RIPPED, I doubt that they’ll be able to carry the hunk of metal. The saxophone is heavy. And by that, I mean really heavy; especially tenors/baritones. So add some weight!! If you want to be a bit more accurate, don’t be afraid to add a little neck strap on there. Trust me, your character will thank me later. They’ve been saved from years of severe back pain.

2. Hand positioning

The hand positioning on this instrument is crucial as it well. The left hand always goes on top. This is because the palm and pinky keys are on the top left side of the instrument. Same with the right hand, but on the bottom right side.

3. Mouthpiece/blowing into the sax

Whenever you’re drawing a character blowing into the saxophone, do not draw them with their mouths puffing out. This is the same for all the other woodwinds as well. We want our air to be fast as possible, so having pockets of air in the way as we’re blowing isn’t as efficient/effective as we’d like it to be. So we try to avoid puffing out our cheeks as much as possible.

And that’s about it! Now go make your saxophone dreams come true!!!
