#2015 ride the cyclone

[get-them-out-of-my-skull-0914]

2015 Fall Fair Suite knew what it was doing omg

I think I like this one better than 2016 Fall Fair Suite??

Ocean was the one to say that they were the only choir in competition when they got second place the year before, which I actually think makes more sense than Karnak saying it cuz then it feels like Ocean responds to Karnak which she isn’t supposed to do cuz it’s before the accident, idk

The actual song before the accident is longer too

“Some original tunes by our local cover band” 💀

The Saska-teen line definitely sounds like something a teacher would write

And Misha beatboxing in the middle of the song lmaoo I can kinda see that they probably had to make him more uninterested and that’s why he doesn’t beatbox in later openings (also cuz it doesn’t really fit in) but I like to imagine that either he was bored and started beatboxing even though he wasn’t supposed to

or they got second second place the previous year partially cuz he wasn’t participating so they had to see what to do to make him participate and they agreed to let him beatbox just so he’d agree to actually do something that’s not sitting on his phone

And then the minor turn instrumentals sounds like Tragic Fact I love it sm

I LOVE the dead halt when they say the first “how can this be fair” too UGHH

Then the verse where they talk about the fair and getting on the Cyclone and realizing they’re about to die!!!

“MY LIFE IS FALLING OFF THE TRACK I KNOW I’LL NEVER GET IT BACK” AAHH 10/10 no comment

And then the rest is almost the same as 2016 Fall Fair Suite

But Ocean sounds more regretful when she sings during the “round and round” bit cuz in 2016 it’s “Had a strange feeling from the start, got our tickets, stood in line, a rickety cart, I did not feel safe at all” which kinda sounds like she’s just saying “I knew it wouldn’t end well, this is why you trust your instincts”

But in the 2015 version she says “life was about to start, why did I get into that rickety cart? It did not feel safe at all” which sounds like she’s upset with herself for making the decision to ride the Cyclone

And then Noel is the one who wanted to wipe his browser history clean instead of Constance, I think that checks out, I can see him searching up some sketchy stuff lol

Anyways I’m done rambling now I js can’t believe I forgot about this version it’s too good

[fizzle-y]

[iridescentis]

tumblr headcanons for my girls <3

Constance

Fandom girlie FOR SURE

Her blog is so cute and coordinated

Doesn’t use her real name, probably goes by a cute nickname

Absolute fandom sweetheart the people love her

Probably a writer and super self-critical about it

Also could be a fanartist with an adorable artstyle

Her askbox is CONSTANTLY full

Survived many shipping wars and is always getting into heated arguments (which she secretly enjoys)

actually super popular like a big blog in the fandoms she’s in

I think she went through ALL the fandom phases. superwholock, rise of the brave frozen tangled dragons, the whole thing. multifandom queen <3

her url is probably the name of one of her fav characters + like a cute word or something

Penny

Obviously has a seven up fan blog

I think she has a main blog that’s just all kinds of posts about them and a side blog for like. daily seven up gifs or something

She DEFINITELY wrote imagines

HATED shipping like no johnny moon is gonna marry her not one of the other boys DUH

her url has to be something like penny-moon

fought SO HARD when the fandom started to die and people were mocking it she came out SWINGING

then proceeded to write SEETHING posts about JK-47 and verbally beat the shit out of the new fandom

Deactivated when people realised who she was when a video of her attacking JK-47 gets leaked and she gets spammed with asks and dms

starts a new blog like a girlblog type of thing with aesthetic pinterest pictures and lesbian yearning (she 100% writes imagine style pining posts about tammy)

stops with fandoms and it just becomes like her public personal diary

has a small circle of good friends that are constantly spamming the dash with ridiculously long reblog chains

if ricky has tumblr at all they’re probably mutuals and don’t even know

goes by a different name, maybe a noun or something from mythology

Talia

if you don’t believe that she was the most tumblr girl to ever tumblr girl YOU ARE LYING

1000% posts selfies with song lyric captions

can and will fight everyone on any subject, she starts fights on a random tuesday just for fun

electra heart girl through and through radioactive is her song and she is a primadonna girl she will not be told otherwise

loves her soundcloud ass rappers <3

brags about dating a famous rapper and will argue with ANYONE who says shit to mischa

uploads videos of herself singing

she definitely was part of several heritage posts

either the closest you could get to being tumblr famous or just acted like she was despite having like 10 followers

absolute icon <3

[tr0ubl3d-tr4n53nd3r]

I can NOT believe that they cut the line after "how can she have speech after this?"

Noel saying "I wouldn't put it past her" is so funny

[oceanautismrosenberg]

i feel like as society (rtc fandom) we should talk more about these productions. like I'm in LOVE with them really

Save me Chicago Shakespeare 2015 Production Nischa..,,,,…,, save me Chicago Shakespeare 2015 Production Nisha..,,,, ough they make me ill in the head I tell you ough

[forgottendolly]

Since we finally have a (mostly) clear audio recording of a full The Ballad Of Jane Doe from 2015, here are the lyrics! Corrections welcome!

Some might say we’re released, Pushing daises, Deceased.

But at the end of the day we’re just dead.

Kingdom come, paradise,

Peaceful soul,

Must be nice to have a body attached to their head.

Not for me,

Not for me,

Not for me,

Not for me.

Makes no sense, to fear death.

Breathing out that last breath,

For we all know the worms must be fed.

There’s just one lingering fear,

Oh my soul, is it here?

Or is it rotting somewhere with my head?

Oh my soul,

Oh my soul,

Oh my soul,

Oh my soul.

Oooh

Oooh

Aaaah

Oh no soul, and no name,

and no story, what a shame.

Cruel existence was only a sham.

Oh Saint Peter, let me in,

You must know who I’ve been.

Won’t you tell them at last who I am?

Who I am,

Who I am,

Who I am,

Who I am,

Who I am,

Who I am,

Who I am,

Who I am.

Oooh

Oooh

Aaaah

And from the ground, beneath my feet,

I hear the anguish of the street.

(A choir never complete!)

And like an old forgotten tune,

A song that no one knows,

Forgot how it goes.

Just John and me,

Forever eternally,

Jane Doe.

No one around, to mourn or cry.

Not great decent (ascent?) up to the sky

(No one to sing, no one to sigh!)

All sprung from wombs, then stuck in tombs,

Now no one living knows,

And that’s how it goes.

Just John and me,

Forever eternally,

Jane doe.

And I’m asking,

‘why Lord? If this is how I die, Lord, why be left with no family or no friends?’

I’ve no celebration,

Just this consolation,

Time eats all his children in the end.

A melody floats through the air.

When silence falls, does no one care?

(Does anyone care?)

Another sad, forgotten tune.

Another song that no one knows,

And that’s how it goes.

Just John and me,

Forever eternally,

Jane doe.

(And she’s asking ‘Why, Lord?’)

Why oh, why oh, why?

(This is no way to die lord!)

No one to sing, no one to sigh.

Now that all is said and done,

Isn’t there anyone to tell me who I am?

(No singing songs of celebration!)

Ah ah ah ah

(Just this sorry speculation)

Aaaaaahh

Like John, I’ll be eternally a forgotten name,

Some lost refrain,

Just Jane.

Jane…

Doe~

(A melody floats through the air, when silence falls, does no one care? Jane Doe!)

Okay, I finally decided to get all my thoughts about 2015 RTC (14/02/2015) into a sort of comprehensive, semi chronological list.

. We already had a Tragic Fact recording, but it's nice to have options. Also they REALLY want you to know they'll be damned if they're working at the mall

. I love Sarah Jane Peltzer's voice

. U.R.A.N.I.U.M is nice, but, God it's hard to hear the lyrics

. According to Kholby, Noel canonically would've written "bisexual werewolf stories", and I just think Noel's terrible writing should be focused on more in fanworks

. Noel's Lament is essentially the same, but it was the version where Monique has a kid. I get why they cut it

. Ocean's dad being left-wing and her mum being right-wing makes for a really interesting conflict, and contextualises "Some of us are left-wing, some of us are right wing..."

. The full version of Play To Win is so different to how imagined it. (And pretty ableist, so yikes) Very catchy though. And I love Rielle Braid.

. Tbh I understand why the crowd loved Play To Win so much.

. As an avid Ocean fan, I really enjoy Brooke Maxwell's whole speech about her character.

. I'd love to see a woman play Mischa in an actual production, however...

. No "take a look baby, he's the real ka-ching"?

. No "Shawtyyyyyy"?

. Is this song even awesome?!?!?

. Talia:

. Let me tell you, I was jumping for joy when Small Things Become Big Things started playing. Well, more accurately, I was so happy I could have jumped for joy but I was saving my energy for other matters.

. References aside, STBBT was almost exactly how I expected it to be, although it was slightly short

. "Once I saw a homeless person eat a raccoon" I love Elliot Loran.

. "Okay, I'm totally having a nervous breakdown right now and I'm going to go grab a beer, and you guys should go grab a beer cause it's intermission" I. Love. Elliot. Loran!

. Early Space Age Bachelor Man was somehow even crazier, also, is it bad that I prefer "Their generals are on holiday, Oh Ricky Potts, what should we do?" to the current one?

. "I spent a lot of time staring at other people's skin and wishing it was my skin" I also love Sarah Jane Peltzer.

. The early Ballad was a lot more on the nose than the current one. Special shout-out to the lyrics: "At the end of the day we're just dead" and "It must be nice, To have a body attached to their head"

."AMELODYFLOATSTHROUGHTHEAITWHENSILENCEFALLSDOESNOONECARE"

. As always, Sugar Cloud is brilliant.

. "Isn't that recorder solo the bomb?" Did I mention I love everyone in this cast?

. Three things one guy on the team suggested: Jane gets wings and ascends into the sky. Everyone comes back to life. KARNAK GETS A SONG?!?

. It's Not A Game/ It's Just A Ride really hasn't changed much in 8 years.

. "Kelly, is there anything that doesn't make you cry?"

. La La Love: La la la, lala, la la la. La LALALA?!?

In conclusion, always check SoundCloud.

This pic is so silly, it looks like he's in the backrooms

[lore-gore]

I headcanoned the choir to have died in 2016, the date the most well known version of the musical came out, but I just now realized that they died on a Monday. There is no February 14th, Monday in 2016. There is, however, one on 2015. I was off a year. Well fuck.
