Yeah that's me.

diet cock

mount and do? 😳

So I got called into jury duty…

And I was put in the seat instantly, of course. I said, “your honor, I can’t be a juror on a two week trial, I have opera rehearsal.” And she said, “opera huh, well, sing something for us.”

And I did. In a federal court of law, in front of the judge, 75 jurors, the lawyers and the fucking DEFENDANT, I sang o mio babbino caro.

And the judge excused me.

YO I DIDNT EMBARRASS MYSELF IN FEDERAL COURT SO YALL CAN DOUBT ME.

I know a lot of opera singers, and singing a full-on aria in a court room with only a hint of provocation is EXACTLY what they would do.

I know a lot of judges, and demanding an impromptu opera solo on a whim is also something they would do.

(And also one of the main reasons you can be excused from jury duty is economic hardship–basically, it would cause you unreasonable financial damage. If you’re a professional singer, a two week gap in your rehearsal schedule could do that for sure.)

As a muso, I absolutely believe this. I’ve got my accordion out of my carry-on and played a tune when airport security couldn’t recognise its weird mass of levers. Singers and musicians are just Like That.

Accurate.

My friend got stopped at the Canadian border coming back into the US. Border patrol took one look at his tattoed, ear-gagued, mutton chop wearing, hipster self, and said “I don’t believe you’re an opera singer. Sing something for me.” His wife immediately put down her knitting and plugged her ears, because Matt’s a contrabasso, and he does NOT sing quietly. Every other booth along the border stop had a head poking out of it within twenty seconds. And they let them pass without further contest.

The unwillingness of some people to believe that literally anything remotely interesting happens in other people’s lives is truly astounding.

Can we all please just take a moment to appreciate that OP’s url is literally @melodramaticsoprano and yet she still was doubted?

Attention: if you or a loved one laughed at bucket jokes, talk about quadrants, or even utter the word fuckass, you might be eligible for financial compensation.

does anyone else find it sort of weird that when it comes to asui, the only thing people can think about is “frog”? like when fans make memes for all the characters in class 1A, or when they do stuff like incorrect quotes or headcanons, they just make frog references for asui while everyone else gets stuff that references their personality traits. for example, there’s never really anything about how she’s lawful good!!

or how she’s one of the most well rounded student in class 1A!!

and on that note, she supplies emotional support to her teammates by staying calm when shit goes down!!

she’s scared of being deemed awkward and unapproachable so she goes out of her way to tell her friends to call her tsu!! that way they can feel more familiar and comfortable with her.

she had a hard time making friends in middle school as well (which is something i thought more people would relate to)

but it’s like…nobody ever mentions her other traits besides “frog girl.” and it’s so strange because all of the other students have their personalities referenced and talked about. you don’t see anyone reducing sero to “tape” or bakugou to “explosions” or even jirou to “likes music.” it’s kind of sad that tsu is always left behind.
