How I Feel As A Horn Player Sitting Directly In Front Of The Trumpets In Rehearsal...

How I feel as a Horn player sitting directly in front of the trumpets in rehearsal...

Merthur, yes. But did you also mean EraserMic? (Feel free to add a pic or gif. I couldn't choose and I'm worried I'll credit someone wrong...)

One thing I enjoy about “opposites attract” kind of lovers is when the two are superficially different but share the same morals/values under it all, but the process of discovering that is a slow one and hampered by the fact that they have to learn each other’s language, so to speak. They both have very different ways of communicating and showing trust and affection, so like the angsty brooding character is suspicious of the bubbly character’s care because they believe it’s insincere, while the bubbly character doesn’t notice the angsty one’s subtle but significant gestures and instead takes their cold demeanour at face value. Then slowly, slowly on their journey together they learn how the other one speaks, and copy each other’s mannerisms, etc, and come to understand their values and how they really feel, like all this is a mouthful to explain but that is *chef kisses fingers* my fucking jam babey

This movie has always been and will forever be my favorite thing ever. I love absolutely everything about it: the animation, the voice acting, the characters, the plot, the music. And boy, does it hit you hard from the very beginning. The pre-Ghibli studio seamlessly combines their animation with the Unicorn tapestries, over this hauntingly beautiful opening song by Jimmy Webb and America. I get teary every single time. Thank you, Peter Beagle for this timeless, amazing novel and Rankin and Bass for the film (and allowing Peter creative control over the screenplay).

The Last Unicorn Opening [High Quality]

The Last Unicorn opening song. I love the opening of this movie.

Another wonderful AU comic I'm following is the Runaways AU by @qed221b, inspired by the AU of the same name by @hey-hamlett. Guys, this comic is so well done... The pacing alone makes you want to keep reading. The characterization is perfection. The art style is clean and dynamic, and the use of color and angles helps further the plot.

And that's another thing. This plot could have been done before, but in this instance it definitely is new. I want to see more of Aizawa and Yamada's history (because the flashes we've already seen are heartbreaking), and how they've used that past to become the amazing, honorable people they are today. And I haven't even mentioned the rest of the characters they meet! They meet the 1-A kids so organically, it's not forced (and they're so frickin' cute!). I love Aizawa and Yamada's easy, comfortable relationship with each other, how trusting they are in the other's feelings and choices.

Okay, one quick fan girl moment -- indulge me. In the 8th chapter (?) in the middle where someone reached for Aizawa's wrist, his reaction, the wide eyes and fearful expression, the way he yanked his hand away saying "do not touch me" so stiltingly. Ugh! As much as I'd like to know his background and who the heck hurt my guy, I admit I was grinning like an idiot. Amazing, wonderful job, @qed221b!

Read this! You will not be disappointed!

Part 1 of ? - Runaways AU

Inspired by @hey-hamlett’s Runaways AU post, where Class 1-A (along with Aizawa and Hizashi) bit by bit piece a family together for themselves. I meant to just do a sketch dump or something for it…. But I think I may have gotten a tad carried away.
