(I also have to get there a half hour early because I’m using my wheelchair which makes things even more complicated)

Sparktober Day 20: November

[g-n-c-quoi]

an open letter to whoever must have tampered with my drink last night at the sparkbird/shayfer james concert in st. louis:

genuinely, shame on you. these artists have worked harder than most to foster a genuinely safe environment in every place they create and share their work, from their online presence to their concerts to the very music they make. to walk into that space and inflict harm at all is a violation of not only every moral obligation and social contract i can imagine, but a slap in the face to the community you are participating in by being at the show at all, made even more damning by the fact that i was one of the few wheelchair users at the show, with very little opportunity to defend myself in the event that your intentions were malicious enough to become physical. i can think of no greater insult to the performers on that stage or their devoted fans than the actions you decided to take last night, and you should be deeply and entirely ashamed of yourself.

i admittedly have no idea whether this was substance induced or an allergic reaction, but i am leaning towards the former given my symptoms and their longevity. either way, though- my drink was specifically modified not to contain an allergen of mine, so it would have had to have been altered in some way to produce any kind of reaction, let alone one of this intensity. i am physically fine and expect to recover fairly quickly, but the fact remains that something happened at that show that should not have, and i hope never will again, to myself or anyone else.

(a note: due to the uncertainty of this situation and my general lack of trust in the stl police department i have no intention of contacting authorities regarding this. i will personally contact the venue once fully recovered, and do not expect or wish for anyone to do so on my behalf. i say this because i have a number of close friends who follow me on this blog, several of whom i know in person, and two of whom attended the concert with me. it is not unlikely that one or more of you will want to do something about this, and while i respect that, i would like any action taken to be my own, as some of my current life circumstances could be significantly complicated by anything done regarding this situation, whether intentionally or not. this post is not made as a cry for help, it is an invitation for whoever is responsible to do and be better.)

My entry for The Light That Comes Through art contest by @sparkbirdmusic

[image description: a complex acrylic painting with many layers. The central focus is a golden figure, sitting on the ground and leaning forward. Their skin glows with many colors of gold, they have stained glass wings as their ears, and their face is blank except for their eyes which look like they’re glowing from within. The background is many shades of blue, with some accents of pale pink or yellow. The painting uses many techniques such as dripping paint, splatters, and palette knife work to create various textures. The overall effect of the painting is calming but very grand. /end image description]

real men cry over minor holiday by sparkbird

[autophobiastar]

I remembered I forgot to post this but the other day I had a dream where I met @sparkbirdmusic (sorry for the @) and they were in these like cool wizard robe things and had a staff covered in birds and they sent me on this quest for something ( I genuinely don't remember what ) and then kept showing up randomly to tell me about how stained glass was made, but they were WRONG and so I told them "no sparkbird that's not how it's made why are you lying??" and they said something like "you dare question my wisdom???" and turned me into a cathedral..''

i think that was on the same level of weird that my dream about explaining he/him lesbians to Elias Bouchard

listening to atlantasia for like the 15th time and the line "so call me inaccessible/and say that I left cause I couldn't deal" hits so hard as a neurodivergent queer person

3rd life desert duo/scarian thoughts with the song mayday

So I've been thinking about this all morning but basically captain-scar and sword-grian

The captain lives by the sword - grian is seen kneeling to scar after killing him

The captain loves by the sword- they are seen together bonding (talking/building/dancing whatever)

The captain dies by the sword- Grian is holding a dead scar in the cactus ring

He'll leave you trapped in the cockpit - cockpit is the desert and it's zoomed out/a overhead shot at the aftermath

Crying out mayday- Grian stands by the cliff on the verge of/ is breaking down as he screams mayday

Uhh idk, I might draw this soon

I just had a random idea… what if we commissioned an SATB choral arrangement of Certain Birds for our listeners to try to get their school choirs to sing

[cosmokrill]

Almost audibly gasped when I paused my rewatch of Steven Universe to check the Sparkbird YouTube channel and saw them rocking the Haven't You Noticed (I'm A Star) glam outfit??? Hello???

I also think I would love love love to gem-ify a bunch of my friends/mutuals sometime. Either that or turn them into O.K K.O heroes/villains, that would be fun too and I've got a POW card template

[loganschwarzy]

dude, i love it when musicians know their audience. it's the best thing ever. (this is about sparkbird)

[can-i-explode-now]

I made another Sparkbird bracelet! This may be my entry to the art contest if I remember to fill out the form later (need to talk to my parents and also figure out what kind of art a bracelet is. I think it'd be crafts but idk) but anyways, I made it. I also have Mayday and Sparkbird ones but I don't know where they are— I've posted about the Mayday one, but I don't know if I've actually posted the bracelet.

Also, the song that was playing on the speaker I put the bracelet on when I took the picture was Minor Holiday.

Atlantisia by Sparkbird except every noun is AHA

…I’m totally making this happen

[insoucianceart]

Maybe I’ve changed…

But I look at me and I don’t think I’m strange.

My entry for @sparkbirdmusic’s Atlantisia art contest! I swear, so many of their songs fit my beloved evil boi, Cierran <3
