Marimba looks like such a fun instrument! It's cool you have experience playing so many different things. Do you have a favorite song to play?
I always wanted to learn the violin, but when you're a kid it's more like work than fun bc it costs money and you're expected to take it seriously. I didn't want to give recitals or anything. 🙃
oh i completely understand! as a kid, it can be hard to want to commit to any one thing, especially if it doesn't line up with your interests or comfort level. that's so valid!! i was definitely someone who enjoyed music as an extra curriculum. i did choir and band during my years of high school, so i did a lot of recitals!
marimba is my very very favorite!!! it's hard to pick a favorite song to play, i played a lot of different kinds of things as i learned! i started percussion officially in 6th grade and i'm so grateful i had the opportunity to focus on it growing up because i LOVE percussion. i really wish in college i could have focused on just that somehow, rather than other aspects of music eheheh... not to be lazy, but that's one class i was truly passionate about.
i got to be in marching band, which was my entire life for all of high school, and then in concert band when it wasn't marching season, and we played all kinds of stuff. epic marching things, soft solos, cheesy soundtrack ensembles. i loved all of it :)
when i was a senior in high school, this was the solo i played for our region's annual solo and ensemble state competition :) (not me playing in the vid, just the song!! it starts at :20, theres a lot of intro fluff) it's called yellow after the rain.
youtube
it's really significant to me because i have never in my life been confident, ever. when i excel at something, logically i want to give myself credit for any hard work or attribute it to sheer luck/skill? haha, anything to avoid confidence... but i was really good at music. back then, at least, when it was my life. i memorized this solo so i didn't have the sheet music in front of me like other people might have, and that qualified me for state if i was to earn all the best marks on the music. when i played, a couple of people i hadn't expected to had asked me if they could watch me play. maybe i should have announced it to everyone and asked outwardly for more support, because i might have gotten it... but at the time, i was humbled even to have the few people interested that were. so there were my peers watching me play my memorized song, and then when the judge was following along, at a certain point he'd stopped watching and just clapped along because he was enjoying my performance. at the end, he rated me all top marks and told me that was the first time he'd ever heard the song played correctly. i was so full of pride and it felt like the peak of my time learning all i had about music.
when i was a freshman, i had a totally different experience. i was in the middle of a solo when the judge stopped me (a huge no no) and just... dismissed me. asked me if i knew the rest of the song, right? and kind of waved me off, i guess it was late in the night? and he gave me all high marks, but it was just placating me. it's hard for me to remember, but i think this was the snare solo i played, and i wasn;t as great at drum technique as i was keyboard technique, but i would have rather earned the 2s and 3s (mid marks, 1s are excellent and 5s are doo doo) on my sheet having played my complete shitty solo all the way through myself (whether it was snare or keyboard looking back) rather than some dude stopping me midway through and just shooing me along. it was so gross.
but that's why i felt like my senior moment playing the song above, on a keyboard, an instrument i adored, and being praised for my hard work... it meant the world, it felt like a form of redemption to me. i felt like i had finally found somewhere i belonged and could excel. i earned my spot doing what i considered myself, being a musician. i loved it. i'd be in an adult percussion ensemble somewhere around my local area in a heartbeat!!

Your Freaky Funky Friendly Neighborhood Disco-Spider - Earth 1294A - 1982
Diane Pastors of Earth 1294A is Disco-Spider - a roller-skating, record-spinning, bass-playing, web-slinging, Disco Queen! A freedom fighter by choice and a web-head by chance, Disco has Opal the Funk Machine in hand, and her fingers on the pulse of Spider Society HQ! She's here to give you the down-low on campus - or (more likely) talk your ear off about Hobie Brown. She's kinda Not Normal about him.
Got a spidersona? I wanna see them! Just jump in my askbox, or tag me in a post! Catch Disco on Campus and join the
The Spider Society Welcome Committee!
Love Hobie Brown? Have your sona ask about
The Hobie Brown Fanclub!
and get the backstage pass from Diane - one of Hobie's custom guitar picks! (yes ...... rlly) __________________________________________________
a.n: I realized I never actually posted a Spidersona sheet for DiscoSpider - the Spidersona I made solely to ship with Hobie and my current rp obsession. Soooo here it is!! Just a lot of sketches and ideas from the last month. I really love this sona and the community she's let me connect with - all of your sonas are so cool!!
if you've read this far, have interacted with Disco, or have sent your sona in - thank you so much :) i appreciate it
Oh! Almost forgot - BONUS:
Extra Disco Outfits!!

For the OC ask game, suggested by @snowwtrapped34. (they picked #1)
I’ll just do all of them
For Opal, I thought: Meek and Ignored x Tall, Dark, and Gorgeous.
For Elsie, it was: hehe i love weirdos i’m gonna make one
Woof originated from a simple drawing of them, and I wanted to put them to use.
Katie was made from my Jesslake obsession when I was 11.
And Elliott is the player character I chose in HPMA.
Also, use the askbox next time

Category: Uncomfy fandoms and DNI-level ships
DSMP - Never really liked it, and the ships make me uncomfortable. YOU ARE LITERALLY SHIPPING REAL PEOPLE, GUYS /nbh
Plus, Dream stans. Not to mention Dream HIMSELF got accused/exposed (?) for being a pedophile.
MHA (partially) - Never really liked it, and I probably never will. Plus, Gacha ruined BakuDeku and such for me.
MLB/Miraculous Ladybug (partially) - Never watched the show, but again, Gacha ruined it for me.
Sally Face (ONLY DISLIKE THE FANDOM, MAINLY THE SHIPPERS, NOT THE GAME.) - The shippers are pretty unhinged. And it doesn't matter what part of the game you're at, SALLARRY IS FUCKING PROSHIP. THEY'RE CANONICALLY STEPBROTHERS. (Also, I don't really see much in SalAsh, lack of romantic implications or the like.)
The Loud House/Numberblocks, Alphabet Lore, the like - More toxic than not.
Dandy's World: The fandom is insane, mainly the shippers. Don't even get me started on the Discord server. But I do like the characters.
Sprunki: Content farmed beyond belief, never was interested.

Happy STS, Lee! (I mean, it's not Saturday, but it is still a day beginning with S) Tell me about how your characters communicate long-distance: phone call, letters, texting? What is the style they individually do this in?
Another ask buried in my askbox! Thank you for it!
As always, characters are from Second Sentinels (Secondhand Origin Stories, Names in Their Blood, Brittle Idols)
Opal- in the habit of actual paper letters, on cute stationary, since this was the most reliable way to talk to her dad for so many years.
Issac- Texting. Possibly asking Martin to text for him. if shit's really dire and he has his translation glasses he'll facetime.
Yael- Probably sucks at this, actually. I'm thinking...email? Text feels too urgent but phone feels too intrusive. Would just not even think of anything involving paper.
Jamie- actually likes talking on the phone, and is happy to do so with companionable silences. A trait unknowingly inherited from her elder Millenial/gen X parents.
Zipporah- assumes that if you aren't around her you've probably forgotten about her, despite not being at all forgettable. If you do keep in touch, she'll match whatever method you've used.
Enoch- I have this idea that he actually has messenger pigeons, but I don't know if it'll make it in.

Welcome to the Anon Index!
Hey, gang, mod Opal here! The Pizza Tower roleplay scene on Tumblr has turned into a real zoo, so I thought I'd make a Pokedex for the flavored anons on the scene.
This blog is not a roleplay blog in itself, this is only for people who are new here and are pretty confused.
The askbox is for sharing new information about anons ONLY. Any other ask will be deleted. Evidence that the intel is true must also be presented to prevent misinformation.
Profiles will be arranged like this:
Anon Title
Tumblr media
Any nicknames or aliases they go by, if any
Pronouns
Alignment
Connections, be they to other anons or blog characters.
Power level ⭐-⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Skills
Character summary, explaining enough of their story to give a general idea of who they are, as well as presenting important character events.
The blog they first appeared on
Mod, if known
Personal character blog, if they've created one
Now play nice!

With the new SotSF Mermaid AU's full release, you can now ask the characters from that AU questions!
Characters this includes: -Mermaid!Meringue Cookie (both young and old) -Crimson Coral Cookie (eldest sister) -Frilled Jellyfish Cookie (caretaker and attendant) -Mystic Opal Cookie (second eldest sister) -Gold Citrine Cookie (third eldest sister) -Aquamarine Cookie (fourth eldest sister) -Black Pearl Cookie (fifth eldest sister(?)) -Captain Caviar Cookie (friend) -Oyster Cookie (friend) -Clotted Cream Cookie (love interest) -Financier Cookie (friend) -Tainted Nacre Cookie (enemy) -Dark Akoya Cookie (enemy) -Crystal Clam Cookie (friend) -Blue Conch Cookie (friend) -Sea Scallop Cookie (friend, ex-fiancé) -Sea Fairy Cookie (idol) -Lord Oyster (???)
And here are a couple of rules to set things straight, as usual:
Please keep all questions related towards these characters about the Mermaid AU. As for those who are available to ask in both canon and this AU (such as Clotted), please specify which version you are asking to.
Like last time, no "dares" or "asks disguised as dares".
As for the OCs who appeared in this AU (i.e. Tainted Nacre Cookie, the House Oyster Triplets, etc), I will ask their owners if I can include them in the asks, but it will be entirely up to them. I only included them in this list so you'd know who you can ask if I get the all-clear.
Once again, no asking me through my DMs, especially when the askbox is closed. That will result in a warning the first time, a block the second time.
This goes without saying, but no inappropriate questions.
Any gaslighting or gatekeeping will result in an immediate block.
Anyways, yeah! Have fun asking the new characters!

maybe we should calm her down whit opal? Or put her to sleep
-sleepy anon
Opal sees this going on, making sure each Anon is out then pouncing on the door and hissing at it. She points to the key on the floor, nudging her head to the door so the Anons will lock it.
