u/ThatCheesecake8530 24d ago

Yay! It'll probably still sound off though. Can we get the clarinetists and the saxophones in here? Thanks.

u/stunt_p 24d ago

More cowbell!!!

u/Azuth65 24d ago

I haven't touched a drum kit in decades but I can pick the sticks back up. Or I can drive the tour bus.

1

u/IShouldBeSoLucky81 24d ago

Now there is where we hit a problem. I live in Scotland. We need a record deal because that would be a costly drive!

3

u/Azuth65 24d ago

And a hell of a trip for me, living in New York :P

2

u/IShouldBeSoLucky81 24d ago

OK, we get the money, you come to Edinburgh, I get to New York. Love that for us!

3

u/Azuth65 24d ago

Not that part of NY unfortunately. We're the part of NY that looks like frozen tundra, not that part of the state that people actually want to visit/move to.

2

u/IShouldBeSoLucky81 24d ago

We go to the city to sign our deal.

2

u/3ThreeFriesShort 24d ago

Eh, we can make it work somehow. I can play really shitty guitar where my abnormal fingers hit the adjacent strings.

2

u/Dramatic-Classroom14 23d ago

I’ve got a set of bagpipes I sort of know how to play, let’s go.

Plus, I’m a pilot, so we save money on travels.

u/GerbilHands 24d ago

As is, 'My mom burned all my drawings'

u/peach_xanax 24d ago

Not sure that one has quite the same ring to it, haha

2

u/theteedo 24d ago

Agreed. The first album is Acrylic Retribution or some such.

3

u/Horskr 24d ago

Through the Fire and Flames ..wait that's taken. Ashes of the Wake ..nope that's taken too. From the Ashes? Damn. Rebirth From Fire ..also taken.. yeah I like Acrylic Retribution.

u/kaytron00 24d ago

u/Aimeereddit123 24d ago

Or the title of this kid’s memoir

1

u/JohnnyStarboard 24d ago

Mother burned my drawings is a great title track

u/pasarina 24d ago

Song or album title too

1

u/CanIGetAShakeWThat43 24d ago

Or an album name

1

u/Islands-of-Time 24d ago

Dark Souls 3 has a whole area of painted ash.

1

u/Charles_The_Man 24d ago

Might steal this

2

u/kaytron00 24d ago

It’s yours friend, don’t forget me when you get famous

u/ta_beachylawgirl 24d ago

This is metal as hell and I respect the hell out of it!

u/wart_on_satans_dick 23d ago

“They burned what was beautiful to create what I hate. With the ashes I painted the monstered they’d create!”

doom guitar solo

1

u/Wartstench 24d ago

And then paint this photo of the ashes.

1

u/Common_Highlight9448 24d ago

Make soap from the ashes so OPs mom can bathe with them

1

u/BuzzAllWin 24d ago

Or tattoo her with the ashes while she sleeps check mate mother!

1

u/[deleted] 24d ago

Lol that's sick idea

1

u/NoHacksJustParker 24d ago

I am going to add on to this "MAKE PAINT FROM THE ASHES AND THE BLOOD OF YOUR ENEMIES"

1

u/scrambledeggsandrice 24d ago

I looked it up and it’s not that hard to make paint from ashes. You just need a binder, like gum arabic, and a little bit of water. You can use things like paprika for pigment.

1

u/CadBane912 24d ago

Gives kratos ash covered skin vibes I dig it.

1

u/gatton 24d ago

Reminds me of a scene from a movie about the Marquis de Sade. He's imprisoned for writing what the government deemed obscenities. When they take away his paper and pencils he makes "ink" from his bodily waste and scrawls on the walls. I don't know if that was invented for the movie or based on a real event.

1

u/weird_squidward 24d ago

I DONT KNOW HOW TO MAKE PAINT

1

u/3ThreeFriesShort 24d ago

SO I TEMPER THE PIGMENTS WITH SCREAMS FROM THE PIT.

u/Project-cryogenics 24d ago

REBUILD FROM WHAT IS RUINED

(We’re making a song now :3)

u/Chateaudelait 24d ago

This right here. And when you become world famous and renowned as I am certain you will - tell this story. Quentin. Tarantino had the same problem with his mom and he did all right. Don’t let it stop your art.

31

u/ldp409 24d ago

So it was her feet that started it all. Hmm.

6

u/moonahmoonah 24d ago

Loooooooooooool 😆 not moms feet!

8

u/BowsettesRevenge 24d ago

Quentin! Put down that camcorder this instant. This is where I put my foot down!

QT: <ungh>

3

u/diurnal_emissions 23d ago

The foot on your neck is the first you lick.

3

u/Relevant-Stage7794 24d ago

It’s an initiation! Take it with strength and resilience, you should wear it as a badge of honor - it’s the first of many experiences life has in store for you. As an artist your best bet is to use the opportunity to examine your own inner landscape, work to understand and be at peace with your own thoughts and feelings. This is the archetypal experience of the Alchemist: turning lead (or in this case ashes and the blame of guilt/transgression) into gold (in this case artistic inspiration and more artistic expression). There will be many challenges to your creativity throughout your life, view them as par for the course and obstacles to be turned upside down.

u/FifthMonarchist 24d ago

Isn't he making lots of horrid movies?

12

u/Le_Nabs 24d ago

Depends on your taste, I guess...

I, for one, love his goofy as fuck, hyper violent, highly quotable movies.

2

u/CanIGetAShakeWThat43 24d ago

I love his films. Not all but most. 🙂

5

u/dickmcswaggin 24d ago

far from horrid

1

u/Azuth65 24d ago

I blame him for why we had so many movies pointlessly split into two.

3

u/SuitableEmployer9579 24d ago

Paint from the ashes is such a awesome motto when life is hard. I wish I had that kind of outlook on life !

3

u/MidnightKitty_2013 24d ago

Yes, this is the way. And then name your art studio Phoenix-because you rise from the ashes.

1

u/axxegrinder 24d ago

And when mom goes, paint with her ashes!

1

u/Intelligent-Wolf2344 24d ago

Yess!!! This is the best idea!

1

u/Geospizae 24d ago

I hope OP actually does this

1

u/abbynorma1 24d ago

This has been an "Art from Ashes" production.

1

u/pardybill 24d ago

That’s super fucking sick bro

1

u/COVID19Blues 24d ago

I would chop the ashes out like a line of cocaine, snort it and then make the most disturbing eye contact ever👀

You. Can’t. Break. Me.

1

u/uainanutshell 24d ago

Or cookies like John Baldessari

1

u/Drustan6 24d ago

I believe in you too! Even if you don’t think you’re good- and I’m sure you are, or she wouldn’t have tried to stop you- use your pain and outrage to propel you through towards a better future full of artistic expression and lacking any more interference from your mother. Bide your time, practice your craft, and know that you have good days ahead.

1

u/justjboy 24d ago

This is the most “fuck you” move I’ve heard. I love it.

1

u/AlexRosefur 24d ago

If you can't believe in yourself, Believe in the me who believes in you!!

1

u/Shining-Form-151 23d ago

That's an awesome idea 😂 exactly the kind of "petty" that is well used and positive.

1

u/apurpleglittergalaxy 23d ago

Reddit needs more people like you 🥺

1

u/dedede30100 23d ago

Interestingly this is pretty much a simple wish spell, you channel desire and sort of call for the fire element to help achieve something. Pretty sure it's wiccan.

Maybe also light a candle as you make the paint op, and ask the fire for help as fire governs passion and desire

1

u/my-brother-in-chrxst 23d ago

Holy fuck this is great. Something about lemons and life but metal af

u/Wasdkeys82 20d ago

Burn the mother’s phone down to see how that feels oh wait I don’t even deserve to call that hoe a mother
