I'm mildly annoyed that they decided to do a two part movie instead of one long movie, but they did really well with the first part. I am also bitter, though, because my favorite song from the musical is in the second Act so I have to wait a damn year to hear it. But I have faith that they'll do it justice. I used to find it funny, but the more I hear it the more annoyed I get. The only exception to that is the Ariana and Jimmy skit that was done, ha; I do find that one funny. I think just how much he gets wrong aggravates me to the point of annoyance with the original audio, but I will admit that it's definitely a classic. That is another viral argument that annoyed me. I was completely tired of the whole thing after maybe two days. i think i read somewhere that they figured out why people saw two different colored dresses, but I do not care. I saw a blue and black dress; one of my friends saw white and gold or whatever the other colors were. Pretty sure he and I didn't speak for like a month because we're both stubborn and a tad petty so it got brought up every time we were in the same space together.
Tumblr media
I'm still a little bitter that they made it a two-part movie, but I'm kind of obsessed with what they've added on to kind of expand and tell more of the story. So now it's more of a bitter that I have to wait for part two and my favorite musical number and all that. Also! Also that viral video, though I totally understand how wrong he was, is a classic! Okay, so it's not that old, I don't know that it's really a classic. But it's so funny, because he isn't making sense and has some wrong info. I mean, Glinda does wear a crown, so I can get where he got the princess idea? You just gotta roll with it Kurt, don't take things so seriously! Now, you know what argument is annoying? That damn viral dress. You know the one I'm talking about. I realize it has nothing to do with Wicked, but I'm bringing it up anyway.

Pretty sure you already know my answer, but I am a holiday music lover. It’s not all I listen to, obviously, but it’s a sizable portion. Primarily during the Christmas season, though. I’m not gonna turn into a Grinch if I hear “All I Want For Christmas is You” during July or something, but you won’t really catch me listening to it until at least the day after Thanksgiving.
Tumblr media
Side note - what are you doing for Christmas?
Alright, so, I want to take a little poll now that we're coming up on Christmas if that's okay with you all. The poll being... holiday music. Are you a fan? Simple yes or no question unless you're one of the ones that can actually be neutral on it. But mostly, I feel like people are either holiday music lovers or holiday music haters. About how much time do you spend this time of year listening to holiday music versus regular music? As a musically-inclined dude, I'm curious. So, sound off! Let a guy know your thoughts, Bearcreek.

Oh, you know that I'd start talking about it as soon as possible. Honestly I used to laugh about it every time I saw it, but then the more I saw it the more annoyed I got. That being said, the Ariana and Jimmy skit made me laugh a bit. But overall, the inaccuracy of his argument drives me crazy. The next show will probably start in the new year; they're finishing up a few regular plays right now so they'll probably start auditions for the next show - musical or regular - soon. I've heard whispers of Hamlet which admittedly I am pretty interested in if they're actually going to do it.
Tumblr media
Oh Kurt, I knew you’d bring up Wicked when the opportunity presented itself! And I totally get your frustration. That whole “her sister was a witch” thing is hilarious, but yeah, it’s clearly wrong. But honestly, I get why people latch onto it. It’s such a ridiculous line, and with all the viral stuff going on, it’s fun to see it come back around, even if it's completely out of context. Anyway—when’s your next show? You guys wrapped Moulin Rouge, right?

Oh, then yeah I'm sure that was definitely tame ha. Still, this is me formally apologizing; you don't deserve such theatre ire, especially not with what I'm sure you have to deal with every day. I've seen a few less than favorable reviews, but they're usually from people who just like to complain; you know the type, every single review is negative. Have you seen the movie yet?
Tumblr media
Please, no need to apologize. I like seeing people be passionate over something they love. Plus, I've heard nothing but rave reviews. & I work with lawyers, that was practically nothing angry or mean at all.

Kurt: It's not fair when you're right lmao Kurt: You could say that again. It just took a few years for me to finally give in to life smacking me upside the head a bunch of times. Kurt: Ooh what are we drinking? And how dare you indulge so much without inviting me? Kurt:
Tumblr media
Mercedes: And I know you'd do the same for me when I really needed it so you really can't be upset with me in any case lmao Mercedes: Yeah, well, life usually tends not to give a damn about your plans and does what it does. All we can do is survive the aftermath of whatever it throws our way. Mercedes: And that's all the sage advice you're gonna get from me. I'm on glass #3 at this point and can't be held responsible for my words.

I guess I can kind of understand that kind of mistake, but his argument still annoys the shit out of me. But yes! I'm an official Broadway Fiyero. It would have been a few seasons, but all the stuff with Trent happened mid-season, and then I came home. But I'm sure they're going to be doing the show at the theatre house soon if only to corner the Wicked fever going through the world right now so you may be able to see me in person unless someone else has a better audition than me. You should be able to find a bootleg on Youtube if you don't want to wait, though.
Tumblr media
I always took it as the guy was caught up in the moment and thought that a crown automatically assumes princess?!?!
H O W E V E R
You're an official Broadway Fiyero!? Please tell me you've got pictures or videos or something because I need to experience this.

I mean that's not totally true, Stells. The only one that isn't actually a princess whether by birth or marriage is Mulan. I'll also give you Moana because even though she is royalty by birth (chieftains are the equivalent of kings), she openly says she does not believe she's a princess. All the other official Disney princesses were either born to royalty or married into it (they all married Princes, not Kings so they don't immediately become queen upon marriage, they become princesses). SO my argument still stands. Yes, you of all people know I am petty enough to go all Ravenclaw. 😂
I haven't read the book myself in quite a long time, so it's definitely worth another reread. I wouldn't allow myself to watch or listen to the OBC before I saw the movie otherwise I would have nitpicked the whole movie because I worship the ground Idina and Kristin walk on. It definitely made the movie experience better for me, and it just made my appreciation for the world as a whole that much more.
Tumblr media
Half the Disney princesses aren’t actually princesses though, by the same argument. Like, Mulan’s my girl, but just because the emperor thinks she’s rad doesn’t make her royalty. Folks just wanna hyperbolize, 😂
I’m totally that nerd and read the book in college, so there’s definitely some messed up Shiz going down there, but it’s probably time for a reread to prep for the movie, 🤔

What is your preferred style of hat?
And cover up my hair? I used to wear them a lot when I was younger, but I don't really wear hats much. If I had to pick then I'd probably say an ascot cap, cloche hat, or a beanie.

What is your favourite outfit for this season?
I have to pick just one? Well, you know me. When it comes to being out in public, I love anything having to do with a fitted suit, but honestly as long as I'm comfortable and warm then it's going to be my favorite. Let's be real, everything I wear looks amazing. When it comes to staying in, though, then a loose fitting pair of sweatpants and a tee is my go-to comfort outfit.

Apologies. I get very touchy when it comes to Wicked. I swear I'm not as angry or mean as that sounded.

No princesses, just witches. Got it.

If it were any other time, I would agree it's subjective. But with this being Wicked month (for me) - ask me again in December. Until then, it's the best movie in the universe. I'm not surprised that it's Avatar over Star Wars, but I am a little surprised it's not Avatar 2. I thought everyone loved the sequel...which I still haven't seen, but I get brownie points for having seen the first one. I think Wicked will probably always be the best movie in the universe for me (at least until Part 2 comes out, Part 2 is going to have my favorite song) purely because it's my favorite musical; it has been since it first came out. The musical is amazing, the story is phenomenal, and it's just perfection; I'll just be more accepting of other people's best movies at a later point in time lmao.
I would wholly judge you for not having seen it yet if you were a theatre kid, but since you really weren't I'll let you off the hook. But yes! Once you've seen it, definitely let me know what you think about it! I have a bootleg copy if you want it earlier, though.
Tumblr media
Duh!! Of course, I was kidding, although.. the whole best movie in the universe thing is kinda subjective, or however you call it. I mean, for you, it's Wicked. For me, it's Avatar! You heard it right, not any of the Star Wars movies or any Marvel movie (though Endgame comes really close), but seeing Avatar for the very first time... blew my mind!
I can't really judge Wicked at the moment. I haven't seen it yet, and I'm not really planning on watching it until it's streaming somewhere. As soon as I've seen it, I'll get back to you on where it ranks for me, whether it's in my top 10 faves or not.

Hm, that's actually a good question. Can it really be bias if it's the truth? The hard thing with that is there's no way to really prove who is the best; I'm sure I'm not the only Broadway actor performing in Philly lol. I'm sure that you've done a great job walking that line between 'classy' and 'pretentious', though; I honestly don't think I could ever see you or anything you do as pretentious if that helps. Growing up in Allentown definitely makes your excuse better than mine. I never genuinely thought to see or ask what our town symbols were. Let me know what you find; my curiosity is piqued now. They're doing a non-musical production at the theatre that I'm not super interested in right now, so if you need help I'm sure I could carve some time out between my work at dad's garage and mom's diner.
Tumblr media
Okay, but what if your theatre troupe IS the best in Philly, hmmm? Is it biased then? All the other theatre troupes would just be wrong, not their fault. I like to think Coda doesn't necessarily have the stereotypical bar scene vibe, but there's a bit of a fine line between 'classy' and 'pretentious' -- it's an ongoing struggle to walk it, I like to think I've been moderately successful so far. I'm going to use the excuse of being raised in Allentown for not knowing the answer to either of those, but... I have a feeling I'm gonna be researching local symbols post haste, now.

"Stells," he said as she started talking louder, briefly putting his hands on her arms to calm her down a little, glancing around briefly and trying not to laugh as she talked about how he'd hidden this from her for a month. He was about to apologize for keeping such a huge secret from her for so long when she said that she wasn't even mad about the situation. That made him raise a brow before grinning as she went on to talk about if he had started dating anyone other than Dom, she probably would have called him a hussy, and he couldn't help but laugh a bit as she said that there'd probably be a bit of scandalized awe in his regard as well. That was true. He had flirted with a lot of people in Bearcreek, had quite a few hook-ups, but Dom had been the only one he genuinely formed a deeper, romantic connection with ─ as hard as he'd tried to fight it. "Oh no, I love romance. I'm a romance whore," he laughed before shaking his head. "I'm just...I don't know. I'm still nervous as hell," he admitted with a shake of his head. "Dom is amazing. He's been amazing. I'm just still...waiting for the other shoe to drop some days, I guess?"
Tumblr media
"A month. A MONTH. You've been holding out on me. For a MONTH." Rather than sounding hurt, Stella just sounded genuinely impressed -- she knew she had a very limited filter at the best of times, so keeping news like that on the DL was impressive, as far as she was concerned. "That's so cute I'm actually not even mad about it, STOP." This was a good sign -- a tangible step toward healing, although she knew better than to bring any of her work instincts into it unsolicited. Offering instead to go to New York and castrate Kurt's ex with a stiletto heel was definitely more effective, in this particular situation. "Kurt. Babe. I mean this with all the love in my heart, but if it wasn't Dom, I would so be calling you a hussy right now. With affection and zero judgement, of course, but probably with a little smidge of scandalized awe." She grasped his arm excitedly, giving it an encouraging squeeze. "I love and adore you, my dude, but I have never once gotten an aro vibe from you, so believe me when I say I'm fucking delighted to hear it."
