so there’s a seventh grader (i’m in 8) who plays flute 2 (she’s second chair) and i’m flute 1. she’s really bad at flute and i just want to rant. (isn’t that what this blog is for lol)

she’s annoying as fuck

if she misses a note she will play it as loud as possible three beats later

she never pays attention to key signature (always Bb with her)

she ALWAYS PLAYS WOTH HER FOUTE AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE ABOVE HER HEAD

stares at me creepily while playing

never plays her part (plays mine (if mines an octave higher than hers because i’m flute 1 she will play my part with wrong rhythm and notes and it’s annoying as fuck))

wrong notes and rhythms all the time

LITERALLY DOES EXACTLY WHAT I DO (i look at my friend. she looks at my friend. i sneeze. she sneezes. i join jazz band. she joins jazz band. i stand up to get a pencil. she follows me.)

never goes to lessons

ISTG IM JOINING MARCHING BAND NEXT SEASON AND IF SHES THERE IM QUITTING AND DOING GUARD I SWEAR (on second thought then she’ll know i do guard (IVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO MARCHING BAND FOR OVER A YEAR DO NOT RUIN THIS FOR ME BITCH))

Scene 4

[charcoaldustonmyfingers]

Dramatic idiots lol

There is nothing worse than having to lift up the cushions of a childhood couch to find the remote, not knowing what disgusting horrors lie dormant amongst the crumbs and candy wrappers. I avoided sitting where my dad does on the sofa because, for all I love him, the man devours snacks like a wood chipper and I don’t want to even know how crumby those seams are.

Donnie has a gas mask because he absolutely does not want his nose anywhere near a cushion that so many peoples butts have been on. What are they watching? Idk maybe slime tutorials cause they’re both definitely theatre kids lol

Angst? Who’s she, I don’t know her :)

Luigi: *staring at Bowser with an annoyed expression as he's tied to a chair and also wearing Peach's dress and wig*

all im saying is marvel has the opportunity to do the funniest thing by making lokius canon. like come on. think about it. here is this character who has been one of the most beloved by fans in a HUGE franchise for over a decade, has thousands if not millions of fanfiction written about them and obviously EVERYONE wants to know who they'll be paired up and turns out the one who has them trailing after him like lost puppy and basically acting as his guard dog is a seemingly very boring bureaucrat with an obsession with jet skis and a tendency to stress eat. like all shipping aside wouldn't that actually be the funniest thing you've ever witnessed bc it would be for me.

This is sad but unfortunately I think this is just going to be the norm for the next few years as streaming services die a slow death.

HBO Max should in theory be able to make money from a show that was at one point the top new series in the US. At the time, David Jenkins said "This is what happens when a major media company invests in inclusive mainstream stories" (agree!) but unfortunately that major media company, like all streaming services, has a terrible business model that can't support that investment.

This is an interesting article about how streaming services are losing money and scrambling to make it back by trying to convince people to buy cheaper, ad-supported options or bundling with other streaming services. Unfortunately for them, I think that's like... all of the options? At some point they're just going to continue to lose money. Making shows is expensive and very few consumers are willing to pay more when they could just cancel and use a cheaper service (or, you know. 🏴‍☠️)

This is also a good article that was written after Shadow and Bone was cancelled by Netflix about whether it could be saved:

"The problem is that while saving shows used to be plausible, at times, the cost of Shadow and Bone combined with the fact that streaming services are really, really starting to cut back on spending means that this would be an extremely tough sell. WB Discovery’s Max is being lambasted for killing finished projects for tax breaks to chip into its massive debt. Disney Plus has done the same thing and has said they will cut back on things like expensive Marvel shows. Amazon Prime is mired in expensive creator deals going nowhere and throwing insane amounts of money at projects they are realizing are not panning out. Paramount Plus losing $500 million a year. NBC’s Peacock is losing $650 million a quarter."

TLDR; Streaming services have reached such a dire point financially that they have to cancel some of their most popular content (Marvel shows on Disney+???? These have seemingly been very successful; it's wild to read that they're "cutting back") in the desperate hope that a new season of something that's cheaper to make will get more attention.

What I gathered from these articles is that steaming services are dying a slow death and sadly, a lot of good shows are going to go with them.

I'm stupid.

I'm stupid and it made all these cutscenes awkward I'm so sorry Wyll.
