    I’ve seen a lot of curious people wanting to dive into classical music but don’t know where to start, so I have written out a list of pieces to listen to depending on mood. I’ve only put out a few, but please add more if you want to. hope this helps y’all out. :)

    stereotypical delightful classical music:

    if you need to chill:

    if you need to sleep:

    if you need to wake up:

    if you are feeling very proud:

    if you feel really excited:

    if you are angry and you want to take a baseball bat and start hitting a bush:

    if you want to cry for a really long time:

    if you want to feel like you’re on an adventure:

    if you want chills:

    if you want to study:

    if you really want to dance:

    if you want to start bouncing in your chair:

    if you’re about to pass out and you need energy:

    if you want to hear suspense within music:

    if you want a jazzy/classical feel:

    if you want to feel emotional with no explanation:

    if you want to sit back and have a nice cup of tea:

    pieces that don’t really have a valid explanation:

    pieces that just sound really cool:

    if you feel like listening to concertos all day (I do not recommend doing that):

    and if you really just hate classical music in general:

    a lot of these pieces apply in multiple categories, but I sorted them by which I think they match the most. have fun exploring classical music!

    also, thank you to viola-ology, iwillsavemyworld, shayshay526, eternal-cadenza, tropicalmunchakoopas, shadowraven45662, and thelonecomposer for adding on! if you would like to add on your own suggestions, please reblog and add on or message me so I can give you credit for the suggestion!

    Don’t let anyone tell you that writing is easy.

    People oftentimes think that anyone can be a good writer because it’s just words. People might devalue writing and say that you should be doing something better and more lucrative with your time.

    Writing takes effort, writing takes skill, writing takes discipline and writing takes practice.

    It’s staying up until 6 in the morning because you want to get all of your thoughts down before you forget them. It’s tearing your hair out because you’re stuck, and you don’t know how to continue on. It’s rereading your writing and hating the words you’ve written because they sound so stilted and boring.

    Writers, what you are doing now is an impressive thing. You’re attempting to create an entire world from scratch, create compelling characters that will capture the hearts of readers, trying to explain that brilliant scene in words when you can visualize it so clearly in your mind.

    It can be a really difficult and daunting task, but you’re doing it and you’re doing it well. It’s not worthless, it’s not meaningless, and it has a lot of value. 

    Writing is the joy of your characters coming to life. It’s the rush that you get when you finally get to that one scene you’ve been dying to write. It’s feeling like you want to cry when someone tells you that they loved what you wrote. It’s that sense of accomplishment you get when you can look back at what you’ve written and say “wow… I actually did this.” It’s the sense of fulfillment you get when you’ve had a productive day. It’s those long days of just thinking about how your story is going to surprise you, and planning ahead 20 novels in advance because you love your writing and your story. It’s the joy of creating, the fruits of your labor, and the excitement of sharing it with other people who will love it just as much as you do.

    Nothing will ever take that away from you. Let yourself be proud of being a writer. Give yourself a pat on your back and say “Hey you know what? I love writing, and I’m doing great.” Because you are. You’re doing something really hard, and you’re doing it well.

    Writing is an art that can touch people’s hearts, and if that’s not magical I don’t know what is.

    Listen. Listen to me. Don’t ever stifle your creative impulses because you’re afraid your vision will come across as too pretentious.

    You’re allowed to express your passion with as much melodrama as is necessary to achieve catharsis.

    You’ll find it’s amazing what you can achieve when you pursue your art without internalized shame.

    Be proud of your own art.

    Listen to your own songs. Hang up your own drawings and look at them every day. Read over the best passage of your novel 16 times and admire your favourite sentence again and again.

    You are your own first fan, you have created something beautiful, so enjoy it

    i am, as the poets say, a mess

    I told Miyazaki I love the “gratuitous motion” in his films; instead of every movement being dictated by the story, sometimes people will just sit for a moment, or they will sigh, or look in a running stream, or do something extra, not to advance the story but only to give the sense of time and place and who they are.

    “We have a word for that in Japanese,” he said. “It’s called ma. Emptiness. It’s there intentionally.”

    Is that like the “pillow words” that separate phrases in Japanese poetry?

    “I don’t think it’s like the pillow word.” He clapped his hands three or four times. “The time in between my clapping is ma. If you just have non-stop action with no breathing space at all, it’s just busyness, But if you take a moment, then the tension building in the film can grow into a wider dimension. If you just have constant tension at 80 degrees all the time you just get numb.”

    Which helps explain why Miyazaki’s films are more absorbing and involving than the frantic cheerful action in a lot of American animation. I asked him to explain that a little more.

    “The people who make the movies are scared of silence, so they want to paper and plaster it over,” he said. “They’re worried that the audience will get bored. They might go up and get some popcorn.

    But just because it’s 80 percent intense all the time doesn’t mean the kids are going to bless you with their concentration. What really matters is the underlying emotions–that you never let go of those.

    — Roger Ebert in conversation with Hayao Miyazaki

    Rules to follow when at sea

  • writing-prompt-s

    1. The ship should be treated with kindness.
    2. Not all waters are good.
    3. Don’t look deeper than you absolutely have to.
    4. A sudden shallow means something is beneath you.
    5. Never sail alone at night.
    6. There are things best left unseen.
    7. Whales are wise. Do not anger them.
    8. You are very, very small.
    9. There may be eyes in the fog. Don’t make contact.
    10. Some ships sail under no flag. They are not real. Not anymore.
    11. Occasionally, you will get a distress transmission from the Atlantic. Don’t answer it.
    12. The sound of motors in the fog is never, ever, a good sign.
    13. Some lighthouses move. Don’t depend on them.
    14. Make as little sound as possible whenever your chest feels strange.
    15. It is entirely possible to lose time at sea. Do not worry. You will remember eventually.
    16. If the water goes murky, leave the top deck.
    17. There may be blood in the water. Don’t look.
    18. If you startle at nothing, it was not nothing.
    19. There are some kinds of fog your lights won’t shine through. When you encounter it, take a different route.
    20. Some fjords are not for human travel.
    21. The singing is most likely not sirens. Pray that is is not.
    22. Never dive and expect nothing strange to happen.
    23. If something feels off, check your ropes.
    24. If someone shouts to you in the dark, do not reply.
    25. Sometimes curious things knock on the hull. They will usually leave.
    26. Nothing is ever entirely as it seems.
    27. Moonlight on the ocean has a hypnotic effect. Don’t stare.
    28. There will always be something watching from the coast.
    29. When the sky turns strange colours, close your eyes. It is best not to see.
    30. If your compass does not work, let yourself drift on the current. Something wants you gone.

    I. Tag. Squicks. By that I mean that if you want something tagged, I’ll tag it. It doesn’t have to be a trigger. You don’t have to have a mental illness. You don’t have to defend or explain anything to me. If you just fuckin hate tomatoes and don’t want that negativity on your dash, just put “could you please tag tomatoes” in my ask box and I’ll be like sure babe whatever makes you feel comfy have a nice day.
