Just a little thing with feathers...

@littlethingwithfeathers

Hi. I'm Birdie and I'm a theatre professional who is occasionally about a billion other things including but not limited to a musician, a painter, a writer, a damn good cook, and a traveler. I wish words were physical so I could crunch them in my teeth. This is a blog an absolute mishmash of things interesting to me... fandom stuff, art, music, interesting political, medical, and science posts, cute animals, and homesteading and crafting stuff. Lately, it's started to morph into an art blog because in 2024 I started oil painting and I've been using Tumblr to trawl for inspiration. I am not very good at tagging, so follow with caution, especially if you're worried about harsh language, violent or NSFW images or medical stuff. I also don't censor words. I definitely understand this blog won't be for everyone just as every blog isn't for me, so feel free to block me, but I don't need to hear about it. Know that I respect your decision just as I hope you respect my decision to post what I want. Due the influx of bots making it harder to figure out if new followers are actual people or bots, if you want to follow me, send me a message or reblog a few of my things. Especially if your blog is blank. Otherwise I'm blocking you outright. I don't bite, I promise. Also please don't send me requests for money or gofundmes unless I know you in real life. As in, we could go get coffee together. I absolutely will report you since it's obvious you haven't actually looked at my blog. If you're interested in fanfiction for Hannibal, AoS, MCU, and Newsroom, find me under the handle Hesterbyrde on AO3. If you're interested in classical music, my music blog is @mygrandmotherspiano. If you're into Hannibal, I'm over at @drowningortolan. If you're interested in my painting you can find my stuff at @oilpaintingfortheendoftheworld

so many sinister things have been inflicted upon brienne of tarth in her short life but i think honestly the worst that i've seen is her being labelled by some people as a lesbian. GENUINELY! i say this as one myself: she is NOT a lesbian. she could absolutely be queer, sure, but her attraction to men has always been one of the most important aspects of her character, if not THE most important! as independent, guarded, and physically and mentally strong as she is, she also monologues REGULARLY about how beautiful jaime is or renly was! she fought through renly's entire tourney and guarded him fiercely because she LOVED him! hyle tricking her hurt so badly because she WANTED a boy to like her! calling her a lesbian because she's tall and beefy and unattractive is not only a disservice to her character, but it's also just. misogynistic. tall jacked women with short hair can like guys, they can look down to kiss them, and brienne deserves to be swept off her feet by a GUY because she is into those!!!

Gustave Caillebotte - The Floor Scrapers (1875-6)

Original on top, later version below

“Despite the effort Caillebotte put into the painting, it was rejected by France’s most prestigious art exhibition, The Salon, in 1875. The depiction of working-class people in their trade, not fully clothed, shocked the jurors and was deemed a ‘vulgar subject matter.’

The images of the floor scrapers came to be associated with Degas’s paintings of washerwomen, also presented at the same exhibition and similarly scorned as ‘vulgar’”.

Y'know how sometimes artists will post pictures of their palette alongside the finished art work? I feel like writers should have to post a list of google searches made during the writing process. I bet it would be some of the funniest and most unhinged shit ever.

its funny to me how warmups for instruments generally sound nice and pretty. like just basic scales or chords. the exercises i do on my guitar could be mistaken for actual music at times.

and then vocal warmups are shit like. bark like a seal. grunt like a thwomp from mario 64. now sing the melody but instead of the lyrics youre saying 'moo moo mee mee mah mah' even the scales you gotta moo mee mah through that shit and its just so goofy every time. and this is why im not a singer

is-this-fascism

see this is exactly what i mean. i thought someone was having a mental break of some kind in my notes until i remembered what i had posted last night

My beloved sent me gold and I wanted to share it.

one of my creative writing professors once said that to evaluate a work as good or not, first you ask what the work is attempting to do, and then you evaluate how well it does it. and this is how to judge everything from critical essays to romance novels to snack packaging to theory tracts.
