AP News: How have your Jewish roots influenced your role in this show, which is set in Nazi Germany? Bebe Neuwirth: I am very grateful to be an artist right now. And I’m very grateful to be a Jewish artist who is helping to tell this story of “Cabaret.” I feel the responsibility. I am a German Jew. I’m also a Russian Jew. I’m a Ukrainian Jew. I feel great responsibility. I’m honored to have that responsibility. A significant part of me is deeply conscious of that every time I step on the stage.

source

I have a lot I can put in the tags as commentary here, but I actually think there are some things going on in this exchange that I don't want people to miss.

First of all, Cabaret does NOT take place in Nazi Germany. It takes place in Weimar Germany. The engine that drives Cabaret is that fascism is coming, the warning signs are everywhere, the darkness is encroaching... but it is not here yet.

Also, look at how the question addresses Bebe's Jewishness vs. how Bebe herself talks about her Jewishness. The interviewer asks about her "Jewish roots", suggesting that her Jewishness could be something just in her past. Bebe responds to that by affirming her identity in the present: she is a Jewish artist, a German Jew, a Russian Jew, a Ukrainian Jew. Like, if you didn't know she's a Jew, you certainly know by the end of that paragraph!

All three of these places have long histories of expelling and murdering their Jews, and not just during the Holocaust. She is here because her family, like the families of many Jews in New York and the surrounding areas (including mine!), survived that and got to safety. It is now her job to get on stage every night to tell a story about how a society allows for that expulsion and murder.

She calls it a great responsibility, and she feels honored to have it.

I don't want to fault the interviewer for phrasing it like this. It could be a way of testing the waters if you're unsure of someone's relationship to their heritage. I just find the ownership in Bebe's answers, particularly at this moment in time and in the context of this show, very moving. Yes. I am a Jewish artist. I am a Jew. Here is my history.

Anyway here's a cute video where Bebe talks about being Jewish and her relationship to being Jewish.

#bebe neuwirth #cabaret #jumblr #cabaret nyc #you're the ASSOCIATED PRESS how do you fuck up THE SETTING OF CABARET #the overwhelming vibe of the video is 'I'm not sure how to articulate this but you are Jewish so you get it'#it's tribal but in the best way #Jewish things #anyway that history very much does come through in her Schneider #you just marvel at how this tiny woman can summon so much rage #and then you watch her retreat into smallness as she surrenders to her fear of the Nazis #'I regret everything'#anyway watch me go see Cabaret again lmao #Youtube

Or only open 2 slots instead bc this month might get a bit busy for me :'D #fun fact: for the Starscream one I did the lighting for everything with one hand bc my other hand was preoccupied with petting a dog for #2 hours straight- lovely pupper but man can she demand pets ;v;; no regrets tho #transformers #maccadams #maccadam #mtmte #lost light #tfp #transformers prime #brainstorm #tfp starscream #starscream #transformers fanart #finished commission #oh ya finally swapped my signature lol- old one was kinda hard for me to write consistently #frootertooter archive

Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 3: Enveloping Feelings.

(Part 1, Part 2, Part 4)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #Yungmeng Jiang training arc AU #I wanted to try out a different paneling style for this one - sorry I'm a day late! (there will still be a post tomorrow to keep on track)#The original 3 panel comic idea was fine but the point of this new schedule was to take time to push myself a bit more.#I was taking a look back through some comic artists I felt inspired by #and I really loved how Lynda Barry fills her gutters with patterns and doodles!#Obviously I'm not going as absolutely wild with it as she does but it was a great exercise!#I truly think the gutters are the most important and most overlooked part of any comic. There's lots going on in that space.#It's the same with timeskips. The implied movement between moments that we don't see changes depending on how wide that gap is #You're here for the funny tags so here's some that ties this time talk together:#I think LWJ was thinking about that second note from day 2 but it took him 7 days of hazing to commit it to paper.#I think he sends it a day later and immediately regrets it. Chasing down the messenger and everything.#You know if something actually happened to his brother he would never ever forgive himself for putting the bad vibes out there.#Third time skip was the hardest because there was so many possible flavours of jokes here. Day 8/9 was a personal favourite.#day 14 was also funny (week by week). I think the debate on 'how long does lwj take to catch feelings' is more or less:#'how long does it take for him to arrive at a particular stage of grief and yearning (and awareness of it all)#This is a symphony. There is an act by act structure. Every day he is fighting to keep his old sensibilities. He is losing so badly.#(I'll be returning to the main comic soon but there is more of this AU to come!)

#doctorsiren #gravity falls #the book of bill #bill cipher #scalene cipher #euclid cipher #stanford pines #theraprism #gravity falls fanart #digital art #my art #procreate #yeah I finally checked out thisisnotawebsitedotcom hooray!#don’t ask what everything on the second page says #I don’t even remember at this point LMAO #I just wanted to make it look neat but now my hand hurts from all that coded writing #there also may be some spelling errors in there bc that always seems to happen with me HAHUIHS #by merely messing up the cipher lmao #I based Scalene and Euclid off of old cartoon parents #Scalene is based around just like…50s cartoon mom #and Euclid has that 50s cartoon dad thing but also Professor Utonium #little billy….he’s just my young Miles Edgeworth…he’s Astro Miles real…#when I think of his home world I envision it all 50s styled #like cartoon depictions of that time with bright colours and bold geometry #in my head it’s idealistic but done so on purpose so that destroying such a place would be an even more absurd thing to do #destruction caused by his hubris and thirst for wanting something MORE wihtout appreciating what it was he already had #and now he has nothing in the end and it’s his fault and he knows it #thinking about him missing his parents and regretting that decision every single day hurts me 😭

hehe ghost-turbo haunting felix au

turbo is connected to the last piece of his code in the whole arcade - a trophy he gifted to felix in mid 80s as a symbol of him genuinely caring about their relationships on par with being the best racer. felix also gave him one of his medals and both kept their gifts next to other rewards, but when roadblasters and turbotime were unplugged, the medal was gone with everything else

now, after burning in cola-lava turbo is basically dead, but scraps of his code still were intertwined with the trophy (after all, it was his first winner's cup, but felix never knew about it), giving turbo an opportunity to exist as a shadow incapable of interacting with anything and anyone besides felix, who kept the trophy even after the roadblasters incident

also I went crazy in tags, feel free to check them out
