Woodwinds 🎼

(A quick note - cork grease is an absolute must for all woodwind instruments EXCEPT the flute. Please for the love of all that is holy do not put cork grease on your flute. It will tarnish the joints and can cause them to get stuck together.)

My friends and I were discussing where the one f-bomb should be in PG-13 shows and films (kinda wild because you get many more than one in the UK's mostly equivalent 12 rating), and I brought up ATLA, and we quickly came to the conclusion that:

1) Toph definitely would be the one to swear

2) Toph off screen was swearing constantly

3) if she did it on screen once it would not be for something meaningful, she'd stub a toe or whatever her equivalent it is

Toph would've killed Ozai. She wouldn't have hesitated.

but seriously though i’m sick and tired of those masterposts that are like “here! A reference site on Greek mythology for all your needs! Look it has all fifteen Greek gods on it!” And I’m like. tHERE WERE LIKE HUNDREDS OF FIGURES IN MYTHOLOGY YOUR CRAPPY HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL BIBLIOGRAPHY SITE MEANS NOTHING TO ME 

if you want a basic outline of Greek mythology okay sure fine??? but like. if you want an extensive fucking reference site you are looking in the wrong goddamn places

as a self-declared greek mythology snob my reference site is fucking always this fucker right here. almost every single figure ever mentioned in a Greek text is on it, it has the most obscure gods, spirits, nymphs– it’s GREAT. You really wanna extend your mythological knowledge past the basic 12 and like four others? USE THEOI.  plus plus PLUS everything is cited so you can actually read the source material written about whoever it is you’re looking at.

fucking signal boost this. i’m so sick and tired of writer’s helpers blogs referring people to sites with as much information you would get from opening a third grade mythology book jesus chriiiiiist

So I think I figured out what Fifteen's problem is. Not as a flaw in the writing, mind. A flaw in the character.

Every New Who Doctor has been a reaction to the trauma of the Time War.

Nine raged

Ten ran

Eleven repressed

Twelve wallowed

Thirteen regressed

Fourteen finally admitted he had a problem and sought help.

And Fifteen, I'm certain now, relapses.

Fifteen started out doing great. All his trauma processed. Ready to face the world. And maybe at first it worked (though sadly we didn't get to see his many offscreen adventures with Ruby). But like... you don't stay better. You have to work at it. And he's very much not doing that.

There's a brittleness to his good cheer. Be it the gods of chaos, the loss of a lover, or his first real confrontation with racism, he doesn't deal with adversity very well. He breaks down, he hides, he acts like everything's fine. It's not fine though. He's not okay. He might've dealt with his problems, but he didn't equip himself with the tools needed to deal with new problems.

He's gonna crack eventually. We can already see it happening.

I went on a walking tour in Granada today and it ended up being just my partner and I and the tour guide (paying 40€ for a private tour instead of 200€? an absolute win), who was a) our age and b) even more of a history nerd than me. What followed was two hours of intense history learning (as I kept asking questions) and it was an absolutely delightful time of two history nerds nerding out, and my partner being excited to learn as well but just being amused. be! supportive! of! other! people's! interests! it's more fun for everyone

no offense but if someone is excited about something and you make them feel stupid for being excited about it you are the worse type of person

the "you're cargo" to "it's okay, babygirl" to "it wasn't time that did it" pipeline goes so fucking crazy bro
