Practice… Can make you perfect!!

How many altos does it take to screw in a lightbulb? None, they can’t get that high.

Now that I’m studying bio, may I just say how fervently I wish my primary association with the words “alpha, beta, omega” was literally anything other than what it is

Summer High Music Raffle

As the summer season draws to a close, perhaps what we really need is a final hurrah and some good music to listen to~

For the general drawing, three (3) winners will receive:

A personally-tailored music album

From the pre-existing tracks/audios tracks/audios that I’ve made and posted over the years, the winners can give me their preferences on what types of audios (genres/styles) they’d like to listen to in their album, and I’ll compile that for them

Pre-existing audios can be found on this blog under the tags: #fan music and #original music

~20 minutes of exclusive listening content

These tracks were specifically made for this raffle event

The public will have listening access at a much later date

For the special drawing, one (1) exceptionally lucky winner will receive:

A personally-tailored music album

~20 minutes of exclusive listening content 

Up to three (3) original audios, created by yours truly

An opportunity to have a one-hour, casual video call

Via Skype, Google Hangouts, or however the preference

Talk about music, fandom(s), life, etc…

Invaluable input into what the next public audio will be

Possible behind-the-scenes with music & recording

Rules & Extra Info

Only reblogs will count towards the drawing

You can reblog as much you’d like (be mindful of your dashboard)

This is not an open event; must be following to qualify (new followers are welcome)

Winners will be messaged and tagged in a post

If I don’t hear from them after 24 hours, a new winner will be picked

This raffle event ends on August 10th~! May luck be on your side and have fun~!

Love when my cat flings himself into the air after a toy, but he has no style. Straight up ragdoll physics.

Well my week has been exciting so far.

Ship Sizes

Supercarrier: fandom flagship.  Everybody and their dog ships it.  The fandom is glutted with artwork and fic.  You cannot escape this ship.

Dreadnought: massively popular.  Nearly everybody ships it.  You can, with dedication, in theory, reach the end of the AO3 archive for the ship’s tag, but it’ll take a long time.

Cruiser: pretty popular ship.  Not everyone ships it, but everyone knows about it.  Has a good amount of fic/art, and probably multiple ask blogs.

Frigate: just plain popular.  Feels like it could use more fanworks.  New people to the fandom might not know about it, but they’ll stumble across it sooner rather than later.

Gunboat: bit of a rarepair.  It might have an ask blog or two.  A couple big name fans ship it.  Probably only takes a few weeks to get through the entire AO3 backlog, and one new fic gets added during that time.

Tugboat: rarepair.  Almost never seen except as a side pairing to a more popular ship.  You can usually get through everything on AO3 in a matter of days.  You’ve forgotten what it is to be picky about what you read.

Rowboat: less than a dozen people ship it.  You all know each other.  You exist in an endless cycle of the same five people desperately producing art and fic and one person who constantly contributes headcanons.

Canoe: you are one of maybe three people who ship it, and there’s a not-insignificant chance you’ve never encountered those other two hypothetical shippers.  You spend your days paddling furiously in hopes of keeping the ship afloat, dreaming of the day you upgrade to a rowboat so you can finally rest.

I still think this is my favorite author’s note.

Cat trying to eat a pea

need a girl to groom my fur until i am buoyant enough to swim

if you read in a frog paper “specimen was released in the field immediately after capture” chances are very good that what it actually means is

“i dropped the damn frog and despite the fact that we fell all over each other no one could recapture it”
