god i love the feeling of warm sd cards

As an adult with no band experience there's basically no places to go as an adult, it turns out, to gain the experience playing in a concert band, until you're at least an intermediate level of skill

top 10 largest cities in the US and there's no beginner adult band frick my chungus life

this is extremely peridot + almond cucumber quest coded

im a (30f) seeking a connection (all experience welcome concert band) in my local area

hibike euphonium is so wholesome and inspiring, it makes me regret the time i had to choose between pursuing the toronto lgbt orchestra and playing organized CSGO and apparently chose wrong

there's a "rush b major" joke in there somewhere

youtube is crazy because its alg will 98% of the time recommend mid video essays and low effort clipping channels, but sometimes, SOMETIMES - when the stars align just right - it will recommend truly incredible art that alters your aesthetics and world view

the desire to write an essay collection about my experience the last ten years as a live broadcaster VS the desire to not get sued because NDAs scare me T>T

this is about hibike euphonium

sometimes it's not yuri bait, it's yuri flavorings as texture to add interest to an otherwise straight forward plot

tell me a great story!!! and if you make it seem like the girls might kiss for the vibes that's fine too!

telling my kids this is from Alex Garland's Civil War

why is doing VO for video essays so hard??? Everyone is always holding a mic yapping in a grass clearing and im turbo struggling to make anything sound decent T>T

they should add umamasume to fortnite

bedroom projectors make anything you watch 10x comfier im actually crushing cozy anime series i never had the momentum for before

the screen we view anything on has such an effect on its impact on us, usually negative, but this has been such a warm surprise

i also suck at everything except my full time creative work now so that's great!!!

yeah but why spend time on your hobbies when you can doomscroll or engage in sidehustles/gig work???

i don't see how spending time on your hobbies creates any value for the shareholders or the advertisers, we should probably stop that

it's important to enjoy the process of going from a beginner creative to a journeyman to a professional, because the last step saps out 90% of the reason to get there to begin with

one day you will wake up to find your art has turned into KPIs and numbers on a spreadsheet, it's inevitable

why do i want to write a yuri story about two girls on the same counterstrike team falling in love between site hits???

"I Fell In Love with the Entry Fragger, and Now I Can't Focus When the Other Team Execs My Site!"

i think the majority of culture writers experience of counterculture is from an outsider experience anyway. at least the ones getting published.

we've come along way from joan didion

growing up means realizing you can't write books, shoot videos, produce streams, paint, shoot photos, and play music while still maintaining full time employment

at least the different forms can inspire each other, but there's simply not enough time in the day to practice and grow

Just a reminder that it costs a small fortune (or incredible luck) to even get a trailer into shows like Gamescom's main stage or The Game Awards.

95%+ of cool games releasing will never get showcased at these events. There's exciting stuff launching every single day that you have to LOOK for.

every day i thank the universe gatchaman crowds doesnt have a fandom and people dont really know of it so i can rewatch it with oomf who hasnt seen it 10 years later and remember if my reading of the show was ridiculous and this is an i saw the tv glow Pink Opaque situation or the reading holds

that show absolutely ripped. the characters, the animation, the fashion. chef's kiss

also all these girls are gay as hell

watching bocchi the rock for the first time and am extremely wistful for that one summer i played bass in high school

sharing a common artistic dream with your bandmates is so cool!!! i love the idea of grinding with my friends to make great art!! i need to collaborate with friends more omg

i am cooking team :3
