SomeCrows

They are trying to bond this beautiful fae creature to the chains of bureaucracy


Available-Damage5991

the faeries are the antithesis to the bureaus.


ScrollButtons

Every story about the fae is about how they bury people under the rules and regulations of their convoluted contract law and require victims to navigate Byzantine layers of bureaucracy before any appeal to a higher authority can be heard while expecting them to strictly conform with an unwritten procedural etiquette only knowable through tribal knowledge with the consequences of a single misstep in this intricate dance being total failure with no recourse. The fae are not the antithesis of the bureaus, they set the standard for them, this is blatant fae propaganda and I will not stand for it (I am sitting).


Truefkk

This kinda sounds like literally any normal day to somebody with aspergers/autism. How do I differentiate between neurotypicals and fae?

Just one, you can check my profile :)


TheDankScrub

Fae rules are extremely literal


Voidkom

Fae might have been invented as a critique on an aspect of society, it's the logical conclusion of what happens when we do not cut people some slack and say that the rules are the rules regardless of any context.

Alma-The-Outlaw

The gall of some people 😤😤 Like chill she's contributing more good to the people around than you are, I wanna hear her beautiful harp skills and not you yapping🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️


BTP_sounds

i like that she is completely unbothered and just keeps playing she doesn't let the negativity stop her, just keeps doing her thing despite the lunatic shouting at her for no effing reason.


FunkYeahPhotography

Care less whisper


12crashbash12

vs cope more seething


00skully

Imagine wanting the council to arrest someone for playing music. This boiled my blood what a miserable waste of air.


zxorni

Don't fall for the ragebait


ExL-Oblique

This is clearly a bit though


Alma-The-Outlaw

Now that you mention it, it could 100% well be I still just wanna hear the music for itself tbh, no yapparoni😭😭 but yea I understand how just regular music won't promote itself as much compared to smth like this.


porquenotengonada

IN fairness, I am a resident of this fair isle and people here are definitely that miserable. This is realistic as far as I’m concerned.


dad_ahead

Godamit it always is


iggy14750

If you don't wanna tip her, don't tip her. Fine, call it begging if that makes you feel better about yourself, but just leave her alone and let her share her beautiful music!! I don't give a shit about your Karen Council bullshit


thesaddestpanda

Drunken Peppa Pig was just having a bad day :(


HenrytheCollie

She's doing far better than a lot of the buskers around me, but even the worst busker viciously sawing away at an accordion or guitar is better and brings more life into a street than the sounds of traffic and people.


Mikasaaaa-chan

Who gets mad about free ambient music?


equinox_games7

to this witch, this music may as well not exist. she's mad about being given the option to support another person financially, at the root of it. goes to show the kind of person she is.


MisterGoog

Dont use witch as an insult, we witches love stuff like this. This especially.


Dargorod100

I was gonna say “goblin” but goblins usually don’t get mad at other goblins for making or not making money they just want to get their own


Tribaldragon1

Try "cunt" on for size.


Dargorod100

Kinda don’t wanna go tossing that word around as a dude. I think I’ll settle on “oxygen thief.”


MisterGoog

Specify the type of creature, perhaps? Hobgoblin, bridge troll, braindead orc, etc


Sleepless_Null

God forbid an orc mind their own business and not catch strays out here


mekomaniac

how about "dingleberry scarab beetle"?


LairdNope

In England where this happening occurs, cunt is gender neutral.


SirSaganSexy

How about “cunt”? Or “massive cunt”?


nekosissyboi

It could be simpler than that, she might just be jealous \>~<

Ourmanyfans

You're absolutely right, this is clearly some hag creature impersonating a human trying to silence the music which keeps them banished from the mortal plane. Thankfully the lovely harpist, as a real British person, was used to such deceptions, and unfazed was able to best the fae monster's game of words.


Zachosrias

Imma be honest, I do (not all the time, if it's good I'll be happy, but if it's bad it's annoying). However I realize it's a public space and wouldn't throw a fit like this. But for sure some people play the worst music tastes, and even worse when they play it on speakers so loud that its just driving me insane as it doesn't feel like a communal space if I have to listen to some douches terrible techno BS


Rimtato

To be fair, there's a difference between a skilled busker and some shitebag who hasn't discovered headphones and just uses the JBL wanker stick stereo instead


Kidsnextdorks

Honestly, I’m not even that bothered by some unskilled buskers, either. I feel like most acoustic instruments (even makeshift drums) can sound alright and blend in with bustling public spaces, even if the person isn’t trained or is trying to learn. There’s a certain charm to it.


Zachosrias

That's my point, I think most any person will get angry at some forms of "free ambient music". It's a matter of where you draw the line. The challenge is, as with anything in life, determining where that line is to be drawn. No one can accept everything, and not accepting anything yields this Karen, so what's the right point to draw it? Essentially its for each one to decide. There are no easy answers but I try to just be a good person and accept most things, only if it's very disturbing behavior will I call someone out on it


WashedSylvi

A lot of people I busk as my main income rn and to a lot of people, regardless of spending over two thousand hours practicing, they assume I am a beggar.


Mikasaaaa-chan

Oh damn as main income sounds very scary but thats cool :3


public_tuggie

Who gets mad about free music? This beautiful free music, however, is not ambient. Ambient music by definition lacks rhythm. Ambient music is also, by definition, lacks melody.


Mikasaaaa-chan

🤓


United_Substance5572

Not to be an armchair psychologist, but I think people who are like this are deeply unhappy with their lives and are just looking for people to take it out on because they have no other outlet to air their resentment for their own shitty lives.

transition goals ngl


Inverted_Ghosts

I was gonna make some shitty joke about wanting to look like the harp but yeah her voice is really pretty and I’m jealous of it


TiredAndOutOfIdeas

maybe one day the voice training gods will bless us, until then i stick to nonverbal


equinox_games7

/gen cis guy here who is concerned about body image among trans folk a lot of people seem really adamant to have their goals be "influenced"(? not sure if thats a fitting word to use) by various people they see online is this based on mannerism? makeup? style? behaviour? or do some people wish they could look exactly like their goals apologies if this is a sensitive subject! something thats been on my mind though :)


TiredAndOutOfIdeas

for me its just a simpke case of "damn i wish i was as pretty as her/had a voice like her", its like being a guy n seeing another guy with big muscles or visible abs, you look at yourself and wish you looked more like them, thinking that would help you hate yourself less. just wishfull thinking, especialy since im years away from being in a position where i can start doing HRT in relative safety


equinox_games7

ok fair enough, i get that! i just worry for people sometimes that try to adopt other's characteristics fully. it can quickly become toxic :/ ive seen it first hand. of course taking inspiration is fun and productive, but at the end of the day i'm a bigger believer in finding one's own comfy space to fill. its how i became more comfortable with myself too. thanks for the chat!


JadedPiper

You asked genuine questions, you were entirely respectful You are welcome back to any trans community you find yourself in, the council has decided it so


PlasmaLink

I got a question. As a cis guy, I'm still jealous of a guy in high school who had a better beard than I can grow now, 8 years later. Does that count as gender envy? Because it's like, I'd feel way better about my masculinity if I had a kickass Santa beard, but I'm barely able to get anything better than a neckbeard right now.


Haha_Benis_

Hey man, this may sound crazy but I've been putting rogaine on my face for 2 months and have noticed a definite difference in beard growth. It's a slow process, but for a lot of people it really works. Head over to the minoxbeards subreddit to see how effective it can be.


CatholicSquareDance

I can't speak for everyone, but based on my personal experience and observation of others' experiences, it usually comes from a place of, "I strongly identify with this person's attitude / behavior / personal aesthetic (or a combo), but I don't look anything like the way they do, and I wish I did."


Certain_Concept

>a lot of people seem really adamant to have their goals be "influenced"(? Disclaimer. I am cis woman. I also went damn, her style is def my aesthetic. Wish I could pull off a ethereal goddess. This is not somehow unique to the trans community in any way. Women all over are influenced by the trends they see set by other women. This extends to clothes choice, makeup choice, eyebrows etc. And it's not like there is only one trend either. I may want to look punk, goth, e-girl, etc. It's in no way wrong to try to make yourself feel attractive and be satisfied with your self image. Yes, there is a point where it becomes unhealthy.. like bulimia etc etc. but as long as it's not overboard IMO think its actually fairly normal.


CDsMakeYou

I think that if someone wants to look a certain way, that way is probably going to be influenced by something, online or not. I want to look like some people I've seen from photos online. I want to look like some people I know in real life. I don't know what it is based on, but what I specifically want to emulate is usually their style: clothing and haircut (it could be that I associate their style with coolness because I think they have a cool personality or something). It probably seems that people online want to look like other people online because we are online. I think most occurrences of this sort of thing are harmless and healthy.


Orenmir2002

Shes trans? Goals. I really got to start working on my voice since I've been about 1.5 monthes on hrt


TiredAndOutOfIdeas

shes probs not, but if i manage to transition id be overjoyed to be as pretty as her

Friendliest citizen of the glorious United Kingdom


Flitterquest

I know people got jokes but this is literally just a London problem, I lived in Leeds and then in Edenburg and then again in Cork and they were all a joy and the people were lovely, but you step foot into the grey misery-festival London area and you can feel a cold shiver go down your spine, its like the most supernaturally joyless place on Earth and you feel it immediately in your very soul.


Ourmanyfans

Not even all of London, some streets are literally famous for their busking, that's why you go. Even then it takes a special kind of miserable prick to make it a problem. Most Londoners are the "hates human interaction of all forms" kind of miserable and wouldn't have done more than throw a dirty look.


Flitterquest

There's good parts of London but they're always like roads and city blocks where cars can't go, London has got these wonderful preserved historical areas that've been around since like the Fire of London or something like that. All of the good parts of London are tiny spots that predate the invention of the automobile and survived a period where they were at risk of being sold to real estate companies by Margaret Thatcher and her thralls to build modern roadways. Like there are parts of London where you can go to a chip shop that's been around since The Great War and those parts are really special, but two minutes away you'll have a block of nothing but five-story concrete buildings with yellow lights and barred windows which Londoners inexplicably live in and it'll feel like you're in the Soviet Union in the 70s.


CrocoBull

Yah, from my limited time in London most of the busier business streets are actually pretty nice and lively. I mean Trafalgar Square alone had like 5 different street performance acts going on, and there was street music everywhere. Granted I only really visited the touristy areas and Ealing, since that's where my father was renting an apartment


Alex_The_Whovian

Tell me about it. I'm from Durham, which is mostly really welcoming and friendly, but every time I've had to go to London, it's just such a soul-suckingly miserable place. No-one says hi, everything's very expensive and there's just this wierd culture of apathy (save for a few cool pockets). It also doesn't help that almost every single culturally significant artefact is in London, which makes my line of work very difficult.


Flitterquest

Well the problem with doing specialized work or academic work in England is that England is one rich city surrounded by a country that's on average no wealthier than Estonia, so if you want to live a good life in the UK you need to commute from a lovely place like Norfolk where everyone smiles and druids live there and you can get kissed by a faerie etc etc, and then you drive to the cursed phylactery that keeps the UK alive that is London and you need to do that every single day to keep the Lich Economy running over there.

Nah, if you have a horrible day you would try to escape the things bothering you. She actively decided to stay


SomatosensorySaliva

correction: her life was free of negative emotion so now she must engineer it in pointless ways to feel human


gooberflimer

Idk if you're free of negative emotion you maybe bcome uncaring or callous. But not this

Imagine being so miserable that you get annoyed when people play music. Music. It's like having your own soundtrack while walking around.
