Musicians: tell me about your instruments. How did you obtain them? Is there anything special about them? Did you ever name any of your instruments, and did that name have any meaning/significance/reasoning behind it? Any memories with them you’re willing to share?

[moonrabbitwriter]

Okay bringing this back because the only notes I’ve gotten so far are likes from AI GIF makers.

My viola is Beck; I ordered him from Amazon like 15 years ago and named him after a book character I liked.

My other instrument is my voice. Special ordered from the womb, named [SELF], so do with that what you will

[luminouslumity]

Beautiful!

PLAY THAT FUNKY LEITMOTIF, DOOMED BOY

[rhapsodieorientale]

No fucking way.

This video is so cute I love it so much

[love-ardour-anarchism]

Yes, you'll look stupid yes, people will laugh at you yes, you'll be a disappointment yes, you will not be the best at what you do

but all of it, yes, all of it's still worth it cause doing things imperfectly is perfect

sing badly, draw badly, write your cringe ass fics confess your love using your lover's native tongue yes, even if you hardly speak it yes, you will mispronounce the words and it won't be a single lesser cause of it

doing things scared, doing things badly, doing things half-assed cause you don't have whole-ass inside you that day are ALL fucking amazing

do it any way you can make an attempt, make YOUR attempt

since the dawn of humanity as a species we have gathered in groups to sing, to paint, to dance don't let capitalist mental poisoning tell you that its not worth it cause it doesn't bring profit or fame or adoration by some faceless audience

do things for the sake of doing things do things cause they make you happy do things cause they make the people that you love rejoice do things cause you've got nothing better to do

DO THINGS BADLY DO THEM PROUDLY DO THEM BOLDLY

DO THINGS EITHER WAY AND ANYWAY AND ANY WAY YOU CAN

bow strokes

[gender-trash]

while im talking bad fanfic lubes: rosin is only used with bowed string instruments, not plucked ones! it goes on the bow hairs to make them grip the strings better! most importantly, it comes in a SOLID CAKE and is STICKY. it's literally the opposite of lube. and jaskier thewitcher wouldn't be carrying it around anyway, because he plays THE LUTE

[oswinstark]

Sometimes I see posts on this site and I wonder what inspired them and other times I decide I probably really don’t actually want to know

[some-stars]

every time i see someone complaining about the concept of rosin as lube, i think about the katie forsythe sherlock holmes fic where they almost accidentally use spirit gum, and my spirits are lifted

[yournewcryptid]

Math is really tiring, im so glad i finally get to relax and do some knitting and crochet and i oh god oh my what the fuck
