Ok so I’ve been playing for 18 years and i’m a string teacher. Can i just say how IMPORTANT it is for young kids to see a BLACK, MALE-PRESENTING PERSON playing, nae, SHREDDING on a violin? I’ve know maybe 5 black people who played stringed instruments throughout my schooling and teaching (predumably because i’m an upper middle class white woman). In districts where the population is predominantly black, funding is always low, so the instruments are crappy. Kids quit, or the program is dismantled. I’ve seen very few professional string players who are black.
Obviously there are black string players. We just don’t see them because they “don’t look like” string players.
This person is the real deal. They were clearly classically trained, and seems to have some fiddle training as well. How cool is that?
my friend who is training to be a 911 operator just told me that they are having to restrain themself whenever responding to training calls from saying “that’s illegal people can’t do that” and I find that so fucking funny
A friend of mine adores fae. Just absolutely loves them. Since her birthday is coming up, I decided to make this little charm for her to help strengthen faerie sight and attract good natured fae to her.

lucio’s metal arm is gonna be utilized like erik’s mask since lucio’s basically a walking phantom of the opera reference and it’d make narrative sense bc it’s covering up smthin he’s prolly v insecure about (sign of failure/imperfection + evidence of his mortality) send tweet
