The Person Who First Discovered That Coconut Could Be Eaten Must Have Experienced Depths Of Hunger Many

Me, a British person watching the US election right now:

Forbidden whack-a-mole

the concept of Andhera, Hob, Binx, and Rue all being a little party trying to take down the court of wonder while the lords of the wing just fuck around is SOOOO FUNNY

hello yes I would die for both Jesper and Milo

Milo, the goat 🥺✨

so when Spider-man crawls up and down walls like a bug people praise him and call him a superhero, but when I, Count Dracula,

the sillies

i didn't get to go into this in as much detail as I wanted in oathbreaker because it was already at like 13k words when I stopped

But in my head:

they weren't trying specifically for a kid but they also weren't trying not to, they both kinda thought they were too old

they both had a really rough time when they first found out - Maria because of Kevin and being pregnant again when her son should be an adult but was stuck forever at three, and Tommy because of Sarah because I will die on the hill of Tommy basically raised Sarah with Joel and it broke him just as much when he died

this is when they made the memorial we see as a way to remind themselves they aren't forgetting Sarah and Kevin

by the time Maria's in her second trimester they are both incredibly excited but show it very differently

Maria has done this once, and is excited to be a parent without freaking out every time the baby does anything

Maria is also greatly enjoying not throwing up the whole time like she did with Kevin

Tommy also panics constantly whenever Maria looks even marginally uncomfortable

Tommy has just gone fully insane over being a father

Maria is four months along and he starts rebuilding part of the house so they have a proper nursery

He makes a rocking chair and a crib and a load of wooden toys

He also starts bringing back baby clothes from patrol runs except he has no idea how newborn sizing works so a bunch of it goes to the coop in town

Maria does not take maternity leave until she is like, actively in labour, and then she still finishes a council meeting before telling Tommy who freaks out and sprints for the doctor, tripping on his shoelaces as he runs out the door so now the do tor has to deal with Maria giving birth and also Tommy's broken nose

The baby is incapable of going to sleep without being held because between Maria and Tommy they are always holding him and then Ellie and joel get back and this baby is spoiled as hell (as all babies should be)

picturing the sweet shocked look on tommy’s face when maria told him she was pregnant

Woodwinds 🎼

(A quick note - cork grease is an absolute must for all woodwind instruments EXCEPT the flute. Please for the love of all that is holy do not put cork grease on your flute. It will tarnish the joints and can cause them to get stuck together.)

Basic Horn Care: Horns need special attention because of their rotary valves. It’s important that they’re properly maintained.

Cleaning a Tuba: If you have a rotary valve tuba, stop right there. Cleaning a rotary valve tuba the wrong way can damage it. Please see Basic Horn Care for how to maintain rotary valves. If you have a regular ol’ piston-valve tuba, see How to Clean a Trumpet.

Strings 🎻

(If you’re having problems with your violin/viola/cello/bass, talk to your teacher or a luthier. Stringed instruments are delicate and can be damaged easily.)

Violin & Viola Basic Maintenance

Violin Tuning: If you are a beginner, it’s usually not a good idea to tune using the pegs.

Viola Tuning: Again, beginners should not use pegs to tune.
