Went down a new age rabbit hole the other night on a site selling singing bowls and reiki crystals. "Bags (easy to carry)" is funny, and I know they mean small soft mallets to ring bowls with, but "Mallets (comfortable)" just took me out at the knees.

[ID: A screengrab of an in-site sales ad reading "Our healing gift: Receive a free gift with your order" and showing three offers: A bag marked "Free bags, easy to carry", a graphic of a tablet marked "Ebook for beginners", and an image of several small "musical" mallets reading "Mallets, comfortable".]

I love that “group stimming starts in five minutes” mosh pit post, and so I would like to offer pit stimming solidarity.

Battle Band

((My sister insisted I posted this and I cannot tell her no, SO--!))

I think this was something my sisters and I came up with years ago as an idea for a comedy comic or something. This was done in pure fun and I think any band kid can get a kick out of it.

Basically, it is a professional band/orchestra with weapons that at every concert they play at, these robbers drop from the ceiling and try and steal something. So the band fights them, usually stops them, then finishes their show without missing a beat.

The first time this happened, the band was using their instruments to fight them.

The flutes were used as swords with their owners crying and apologizing to their instrument for hurting them.

Clarinets threw reeds like throwing stars and have no idea how that actually hurt people but it did.

Drummers just use their drumsticks. When asked about how and why they are so calm when they break a stick they just say, "We break these all the time. We have A LOT of spares."

Trumpets blast anyone with sound. If anybody gets too close, they whack them.

Tubas are the barricades for the reed throwers. If anybody gets too close, they whack them.

Trombones use their sliders as swords and are actually quite proficient for how flimsy it is.

The Saxophones throw reeds as well, but also can use their instrument as a club.

The strings launch their bows like they are arrows. No one questions this because they are too scared to ask.

The piano player (and his assistant) are the best fighters in the band. However, neither of them fights unless it is going very, very poorly, for it is their job to play the battle music.

The director directs everyone and whacks people with his baton when they get too close. His baton has never broken and no one knows exactly what it is made of or how that is even possible.

The mallets are with the drummers, but they also do battle music

The piccolo player stands in the back and is the prison keeper. If anyone tries to leave, she deafens them.

After the fourth time they find themselves fighting during a band concert, the flutes get raipers because the owner of Felicity the Flute cannot handle using their flue as a sword.

The reed throwers also get wooden throwing stars, which has helped them tremendously. They once tried metal throwing stars but failed so badly that the piano player had to intervene

After that, everyone gets an upgrade. Saxophones get actual clubs, Trombones get swords, and the strings get bows and arrows (and crossbows, in the case of the Violas). Tubas now have actual shields.

The Tubas will play the Jaws theme if the piano players are "occupied."

The trumpets figure out they can use their trumpets like blow darts and use their music sheets as their spit wads. As such, they are required to memorize all of their music.

In the first battle, someone yelled, "Piano player, battle music!" Caught unprepared, the pianist launched into the Mario theme. They rolled with it, but by the time the flutes got their rapiers, he had a binder of music including: Mission Impossible Theme Pirates of the Caribbean Star Wars Soundtrack Avengers theme and many, many more!

(Side note: the Mario theme is now the favorite song of the band and what they close every show with)

The Bus driver and Stage Manager are the goalies on the side/backstage. If anyone tries to escape they kick them back into play.

The reason the piano player even has an assistant is because of that one time he had to get involved in a battle and there was no music. So a random member of the band (read probably a trumpet) went over and began to play Chopsticks. They don't talk about that time and Chopsticks is not banned from being played in the band.

The piano player is also ex-military, which explains a lot.

The only oboe's name is literally "Plot Convenience" and he answers every unanswerable question with his name. They know he fights because he can kick butt during band training (which they implemented after the 7th time they go caught in battle) but no one really knows how he fights. They are a little busy and no one really sees him long enough to nail it down.

For reasons (plot convenience) the bandits are always the same and we have decided it is the choir. No one knows it is the choir and the band actually enjoys the choir. However, the choir hates the band for reasons unknown (and even Plot Convenience doesn't have an answer for that one)

No one knows how these weapons even get into the concert. They have played at the White House and also fought there. No one knows where they were hiding any of the weapons including the band (Plot Convenience)

Eventually, they are hired by the government as spies.

("We are not spies!" "Then how did you get crossbows into the White House?" "....Are we spies? Did you all know this?" "Plot Co--" "SHUT UP, PLOT!"

Unfortunately, the piano player refuses to play on anything less than a baby grand so they are all kind of limited on where they play.

Every time a member or section goes down, there is a music cue alerting the rest of the band. (*drowning theme from Sonic the Hedgehog* "There went the director!")

At this point, Plot Convenience just raises his hand whenever someone questions something that doesn't have an answer. The director then waves his baton and says, "Everyone on three. One, two three." Everyone: 'PLOT CONVENIENCE" Plot is so proud of these children, even though he has taught the entire band they don't exist.

The robbers always come from the ceiling. The one time they didn't come from the ceiling the band got mad sooooo

what you

The dinosaurs will wait in anticipation for the antique store to burn tonight. They set fire to the shop with a mallet and a balloon. Dinosaurs are not real people and thus do not care for politics. The president is not a dinosaur. Thus cares for politics. The dinosaurs scream their bloodcurdling screams of anguish. Infuriating. What you is not a proper word since proper words are only in German. The seductive telephone poles agree in German.

Alto L: Why is the Director holding an egg?

Alto H: It’s not an egg.

Alto L: It looks like an egg.

Alto H: It’s a mallet head.

Alto L: A what?

Alto H: A mallet head. A percussionist broke it earlier. Almost hit her in the head.

Alto L: Ohhhhhhh

[the-king-panani]

dreamed up this weird Tiktok meme where there was stock footage of a concert and that fucking Female Voice AI goes, “The crowd wasn’t enjoying the song… I knew I had to save it!” and then it cuts to a guy poorly greenscreened onto a stage playing fucking mallets.

Mallets and vibes make the melody over a plucked bass
