THATS NOT EVEN A WORD AND I AGREE WITH YA

the japanese “-ne?” particle and the british slang term “innit” serve the same function

Just curious about everyone’s thoughts on this as I’ve been thinking about urban wildlife a lot lately

This is absolutely true. I'm in a marching band, and I'm one of the best trumpet players in the band. But, before I even started, I never even played a trumpet before. When I started, I had to ask my instructor to lower my notes, because I couldn't play the higher ones. I even remember thinking I could never reach notes on top of the staff and beyond. But now I can. All it took was practice and patience.

If you are starting to be an artist, a writer, or even to learn how to play an instrument for the first time, know that no matter how much you really are into it at first, you're going to fail. Many, many times. But with practice, patience, and a little bit of elbow grease, you can do so many great things.

Allow yourself to be a beginner. No one starts off being excellent.

It’s definitely sound for me. As always reblog for a bigger sample size please!

I’m the one your looking for @brownlovescandycorn!

And I just wanna say that I love your commentary. Every time I would read them, I would do this:

So thank you for that. Oh, and just to let you know, I’m going to turn 16 tomorrow!

One Fresh, No Fresh (Chapter 2)

“Hey Fresh? How is your hypothesis going?”

Fresh jumped out of his daydream, before turning around, looking at his boss, Mrs. Lewis. She was thin, with dirty-blonde hair and blue eyes. Her red glasses would make her look older, but she was only 6 years older than Fresh.

“Ah, sorry Boss. I’ve been a thinkin’ too much, an’ wasn’t payin’ any attention,”.

Mrs. Lewis chuckled. “Not to worry,”. Then, she started smiling devilishly. “Now, you weren’t thinking about your girlfriend, right?”

Fresh blushed, tilting his head down to hid his embarrassment. He actually was thinking about her. But he couldn’t handle it! He loved her so much, and it wasn’t long before their 4th anniversary. And he had something big planned for that date.

“W-well maybe I was!” Fresh exclaimed, purple dusting his cheekbones.

Mrs. Lewis laughed, saying, “Sorry Fresh. Didn’t mean to frustrate you.”

Fresh sighed. She was right. Since getting his emotions for the first time, he’s been very emotional for a long time, since he couldn’t control them. But, after getting some help, he’s gotten better control at them. But sometimes, they will be uncontrollable, like water in a dam. But it’s been 14 years since first gotten them, so he should be able to keep them down, right?

“It’s Aiight. I’m just n-nervous.” Fresh said.

Nervous was an understatement. He feels like he’s going to mess up the 4 year anniversary. And he went full out on it. Tickets to the movies (He heard that new movie ‘Nerve’ was pretty good, so he decides on that), then later they will have a small dinner under the stars, where he-

“Okay Fresh. I understand.” Mrs. Lewis interrupted Fresh’s thoughts, before saying, “Oh! I almost forgot! Remember when you said that you wouldn’t make it on Friday? Well, I’ve got you covered.”

“Rad! Thanks Mrs. L!” Fresh said, before turning back onto his computer, typing frantically.

“Oh Fresh! This is amazing!” Alaina said. “The movie was great, and this dinner was delicious! I don’t think you can top this next year!”

Fresh smiled. Oh, how he loved her. He loved her hair and glasses, and her personality was so perfect.

“Heh, I bet I won’t, ” Fresh said quietly, a small, nervous smile on his lips(?). Alaina turned toward Fresh, confused.

“Fresh?” Alaina asked, “Is something wrong?”

Fresh, at first didn’t speak. He just couldn’t find the words to speak, and he felt like throwing up. But after closing his eyes and taking a big breath, he stood up, before turning toward Alaina, saying, “I need to talk to ya. Come over here,”

He led Alaina close to the edge, next to the stars, before turning toward her, his fingers wrapped around hers.

After pausing for a moment to get his nerves together, Fresh looked into Alaina’s eyes, before he spoke in the most serious tone,

          “Alaina. 12 years ago, you found me on your doorstep; cold, hungry, and very sick. Your family took me inside the house, and took care of me. When asked where I came from, all I said was, ’I’ll tell ya someday, brahs’. And none of you questioned me again. Your parents decided to adopt me, but you never, EVER, considered me family, but only as a friend.

Years passed, and after some daring from my friends, I asked you out, 4 years ago. And after that, we were inseparable. Even though we lived in the same house, I felt like we were even closer than ever. You may not know much about me, but I know a lot about you. Your funny, beautiful, and you gave me the most love out of anyone I know. And after 4 years, I would like to ask you something.”

Fresh got on one knee, and took a box from his pocket, opening it to show Alaina a small ring, with Alaina’s birthstone in it. Alaina gasped, covering her mouth, tears in the corner of her eyes.

“Alaina Prana, will you marry me?”

Alaina nodded once, twice, before hugging Fresh, yelling out, “Yes, Fresh! Yes, a million times YES!!!”

Fresh started laughing, tears running down his cheekbones. She said YES! He’s never been this happy in his entire life.

After calming down, Fresh separated from Alaina, before putting the ring on her finger. The moonlight caught onto the jewel, making it shine. Then he got closer to Alaina, before he started kissing her. Could his life get any better?

And here’s Chapter 2!!! It took me awhile because I couldn’t figure out how to do the conversation between Fresh and his boss, but I got it now!!! See ya next time for Chapter 3!!! Alaina says: Oh God the FreshFloof is real aaahhhhh!!!!! My one true weakness dear lord I can’t get over this my God. <3 

Spoke to a gen z person the other night and apparently the young folks don't know about the very legal sites from which you can access public domain media (including Dracula, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and other Victorian gothic horror stories)?

Like this young person didn't even know about goddamn Gutenberg which is a SHAME. I linked to it and they went "aw yiss time to do a theft" and I was like "I mean yo ho ho and all that, sure, but. you know gutenberg is entirely legal, right?"

Anyway I'm gonna put this in a few Choice Tags (sorry dracula fans I DID mention it though so it's fair game) and then put some Cool Links in a reblog so this post will still show UP in said tags lmao.

Yess!
