Daily instrument — Talking Drum

The talking drum is an hourglass-shaped drum from Nigeria and other parts of West Africa. The name comes from how it mimics spoken language, being used as a means of communication especially across villages. During slavery in the United States, the talking drum was banned for it's ability to speak. The talking drum has a membrane wrapped around wooden hoops on each side, bound by leather cords running the length of the instrument. When the cords are pressed, tightening the head, the pitch changes. The talking drum is also struck with a curved beater.

The fact that The Doctor was trying to calm down by saying something so related to Missy is KILLING ME. Please, Thoschei, come back, your mentally ill fans who can’t stop thinking about you miss you

Katniss in her Pre-Peeta Era: " Being out in the woods with Gale . . . sometimes I was actually happy. " Also Katniss (in the cave with Peeta):

" 'And right when your song ended, I knew— just like your mother — I was a goner,' Peeta says. 'Then for the next eleven years, I tried to work up the nerve to talk to you.' 'Without success,' I add. 'Without success. So, in a way, my name being drawn in the reaping was a real piece of luck,' says Peeta. For a moment, I’m almost foolishly happy [...] " Also Katniss (in bed with Peeta):

" 'You didn’t have any nightmares last night,' he says. He’s right. For the first time in ages I’ve slept through the night. 'I had a dream, though,' I say, thinking back. 'I was following a mockingjay through the woods. For a long time. It was Rue, really. I mean, when it sang, it had her voice.' 'Where did she take you?' he says, brushing my hair off my forehead. 'I don’t know. We never arrived,' I say. 'But I felt happy.' " Also Katniss (in love with Peeta):

" As I drift off, I try to imagine that world, somewhere in the future, with no Games, no Capitol. A place like the meadow in the song I sang to Rue as she died. Where Peeta’s child could be safe. [...] When I wake, I have a brief, delicious feeling of happiness that is somehow connected with Peeta. "

@victoriansecret has been assisting me in my quest to find traditional fife and drum field music with only ONE fife and ONE drum. I am in love with this recording he found of The Duke of York's March (Short Troop), by the Old Fort Niagara Fifes and Drums [Facebook link]. There is something deeply poignant and stirring in the sound of this minimalist arrangement.

If I heard something like this 200-250 years ago I would IMMEDIATELY take the King’s shilling, they wouldn't even need to tempt me with free ribbons and alcohol! You had me at fife and drum.

[hotvintagepoll]

I'm not sure of this has ever been asked before, but what got you into hosting these beautiful vintage sexy people polls?

And thank you for your service 🫡

this is a great question! I got into it for a couple reasons—one, I wanted to see more Tumblr polls focused on hot people, because I’m horny; and two, I wanted to spotlight some of the lesser known/should have been more famous hotties, particularly the ones who were fucked over by studio system racism. there were a lot of talented hotties working who got buried in bad films but were still hot! And we salute them 🫡

so tl;dr I was wishing someone would do an old hot people poll and then I realized that person could be me

okay so. like. wan ed 12. dazai is stopped by a log in the river and starts actually drowning. funny haha wan bit.

but repeating something ive said (hi haven) i think this is actually a really good example for how ada dazai doesn't really want to kill himself. he could've actually drowned here. thats his 'goal' right? but the moment it starts happening he's trying to get his head back above water.

"I thought I was dead"

hilariously wet and horrified or not he obviously didn't want to die here. theres nobody around to hear what he said anymore anyway. and that's why, despite being yk... a wan ending animation? i still think this is such like. a case in point.

Back with my zolu brrt again!!

As a zolu fan i know that i tend to focus on luffy and zoro so soo muchh, and maybe that's why i can't ever shut up about them, but anyway-

Thinking about how when it comes to anything relating to luffy, zoro's responses... they always stands out? Like i don't know how to explain it, but let it be his response being the first/last one shown (too many examples for this one) or the significance of the words he says, like it's just-

Sometimes in big or even small moments when luffy talks about something, or has defeated someone, or at least about to... in those kind of situations when the others are silent, or their responses are not immediately shown, it's usually zoro who seems to have something to say??

(not in order of the arcs btw!)

In drum island arc, when luffy asks for chopper to join the crew, only zoro shown to adds a little comment..

Or in alabasta, how his responses to anything luffy-related always stands out?? (that smile?)

Tbh... during the alabasta arc, usually it's just a zoom in of vivi reacting to luffy and then followed by zoro's reaction (but vivi is literally the princess and important to this arc so like...)

Like he is not the only one who always makes his reactions known, but i just can't help but to notice him?? In dressrosa, during the "lucy luffy has made his entrance!!!" part, there's just something about his expression- his smile?? (proud bf reaction) or during luffy's fight, zoro with his "hurry, luffy!!" line (again, emphasizing on zoro's reaction to luffy)

Or after defeating doflamingo.. franky's reaction is shown first before zoro's, but like i said earlier "....let it be his response being the first/last one shown or the significance of the words he says"

And of course about zoro's reaction to ace's death and later to 3d2y

Also his reaction in enies lobby, punk hazard and in water 7??

Like i can't mention every single moment from the animanga (of course, cuz there are too many of em), but when his reactions to things relating to luffy are shown, i just can't help but to pay close attention to him?? pay attention to him and let my eyes linger just a little bit longer (my bias for zolu definitely contributes to that fact, but well, i am a zolu truther) Like zoro pays attention to his captain so muchh, i just can't??

Like sometimes with luffy it really is "zoro-tachi"

Canon things that happen in Disenchantment

The MC's name is Tiabeanie. Her parents somehow thought it was a good idea to shorten it to Bean.

Every elf has an -o at the end of their names. Elfo, Grifto, Leavo, Shocko, etc. Except for one named Kissy.

Bean's almost-husband was turned into a pig. He still lives in the castle and chats with her occasionally.

Mermaids and walruses are confirmed to have the same siren quality

Bean has not only been to hell, she convinced her friend to tell God to fuck off and join her

Bean killed Hansel and Gretel. Yes, THAT Hansel and Gretel.

Bean's mom killed her parents

Elfo's dad stole his college fund

The king spent an entire episode slowly dying in a casket. His mind fell apart from the stress of the whole thing

Elfo blinded a prince

Bean's brother almost got her burnt at the stake. The almost is because it failed

There's also a steampunk land with guns that just. Exists.

Speaking of Bean got a glock.

It did not go so well

i Appreciate the midnights set for what it is but can you imagine full level full instrumental maroon?????????? holy shit.
