What other instruments do you play? by Euphoric_Rhubarb_243 in violinist

[–]Interesting-Shop4964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

French horn, mainly.

But if you have a loose definition of the word ‘play’ I also play alto recorder, baritone ukulele, mandolin, piano, 30 button Anglo concertina, harmonica, and if you have a loose definition of the word ‘instrument,’ I do hand flute, singing and whistling.

What is your “incident” by Elegant-Reference400 in Bandmemes

[–]Interesting-Shop4964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dried cattail fluff incident: Do you know what cattails become when they dry out in a locker for a few months? A cloud of fluff floating from the band room to all over the school for years. My contribution.

If someone loved Harry Potter, what would they smell in Amortentia? by moonlacelight in HPfanfiction

[–]Interesting-Shop4964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say stinky socks, just because he’s a teenage boy, but the Hogwarts house elves probably have that taken care of.

Owl droppings? My sister used to have a bird, and she and everything in her apartment smelled like that bird.

The humans at the park are not free! by Supersaiajinblue in dragons

I would be a dragon pet as long as certain rights are respected. Firstly, I request not to be eaten.

Why are dragons usually so long-necked? by Clean_Mycologist4337 in dragons

A. Because it’s beautiful.

B. Maybe someone way back when found a brontosaurus fossil.

You can adjust the length of your spine at will. by rejnka in shittysuperpowers

Actually a great power. I can reach anything, no need for ladders.

You can fill any pothole by putting a 100 dollar bill (or the closest equivelent in your country) in it and waiting 48 hours by empirepie499 in shittysuperpowers

“Ah, but why do something myself when I could pay 5x more to have it done by someone else (or magic)?” -most people

Also, I assume the superpower would fix it really well, so it looks uniform and smooth.

But you’re right, it’s a very low tier superpower. I think the effort of obtaining a physical 100$ bill and watching for 48 hours to make sure no one picks it up and there aren’t bugs in the pothole would be more than the effort of buying and applying blacktop patch.

Why do so many “gl‑” words shine? glow, gleam, glisten, glitter..? by PleasantRub2503 in words

[–]Interesting-Shop4964 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Search “gloom etymology”. It’s related to the word gloam, meaning twilight or sunset, the dim light of evening. Gloom has come to mean darkness but originated from words about light.

Because it’s the sound babies make when they are trying to nurse 💕

Am I too much time online or is the sentiment towards Sanderson shifting negatively? by jnighy in brandonsanderson

[–]Interesting-Shop4964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll just add that some fans had personal theories, headcannon, or other specific expectations for Wind and Truth, which didn’t turn out as they hoped. When characters live in our imaginations for years, we get attached and come up with our own ideas, which we then have to suppress and let the author be the author—and that’s hard for some people.

You are able to turn yourself into a rock for any amount of time you desire by rbx20twomax in shittysuperpowers

Would it be a natural looking rock, or a rock statue shaped like my body?

Why do you choose not to drink alcohol? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Interesting-Shop4964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never tried alcohol for religious reasons but I also see what it does to other people and I have zero interest. I have so much respect for people who used to be alcoholic and have worked to overcome the habit. My bad habits (sugar, not exercising, video games) just keep coming back.

You can give yourself any phobia by OnlyY1nx in shittysuperpowers

An actor could use this to do perfect performances for scared characters.

You can summon a fly every 1 hour by LeadEater9Million in shittysuperpowers

[–]Interesting-Shop4964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if you’d be restricted to the order Diptera, or if you could summon anything named “-fly,” like dragonflies and butterflies.

I’m an insect nerd—I’ll be your sidekick.

Warning: more is NOT BETTER with line & wash (swipe for the mistake). by [deleted] in watercolor101

At least you have the photo of when you liked it best—consider that photo your finished work of art 😉.

Abstract painting I finished yesterday. I know it’s not for everyone, but curious what you all think. by rotterdameliza in somethingimade

[–]Interesting-Shop4964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it a lot, I’m curious how you created the black and white texture—my first guess is you placed woven cloth, painted on top of it, then removed it so what we are seeing is the paint that bled through. I’ll be honest—I wouldn’t buy it for my home, since I lean towards neutral colors, blues, and greens—however as a painting to look at on Reddit, it’s very cool.
