You may ask yourself, "How the hell does a Deaf/Hard of Hearing person edit music into a visual video?"

Well thanks to Adobe's tools in After Effects, it allows me to see the waveform of the audio while I have the music on full blast on my headphones allowing me to feel and hear the bass and higher pitched noises to differniate a beat.

With a little bit of know-how on time remapping tools in After Effects, I was able to sync up the fantastic footage I got of the cast crew signing "All the Oxytocin in Your Fingertips" with music by "Me The Machine" (instrumental) by Imogen Heap. That song plays a bit of a crucial point in the play and has such an addictive beat!

The more I've rehearsed with this crew, the greater my appreciation grows for stagecraft and the work that goes into a production. This week is the week of rehearsals at the CoMMA theater before the show begins on Nov. 16, 17 and 18th! Fingers crossed!

Looking at Hamilton: I am already balking at trying memorize the entire choreography, lines and rapping. Mad respect to theater performers!

Been looking for a experimental original play near you? Are you fascinated with American Sign Language and Deafness? A lover of music? ASMR? Tutting?

Say no more! Come and enjoy the show...

All ticket proceeds from the show will go towards benefitting the Alder Springs Deaf and Blind Community!

An original play by Cary Simowitz

Produced by Derek Long, LLC

Directed by Kee Lee

Like, sure, diegetically Alder is imitating Wade to make the speech convincing, but non-diegetically Lyne Renee is emulating Sheryl Lee Ralph. (And yes, those two bottom frames are the exact first transition cut between the two in that scene, so the editors picked it for maximum sync.)

Enna was stressed. Alder, Abel, both in the arena. She wondered if she would've been on that list too, if vox parva hadn't been so thoroughly disproven to be her. she was glad to be safe, worried for her friends, and a little bit unsure of what to do with herself during training.

So she sat in the corner, hemming one of Kyanite's onesies, unsure of what to do with herself. "Am I in the way?" she asked, when one of alder's mentors came up to her.

Augusnippets: Day Twenty

Chosen Prompt: Homemade Meal

CW: mention of violence

The sizzling from the kitchen sounds almost like static. It buzzes against his skin as he surveys the room around him. His partner’s decor relaxes him instantly, the walls an enchanting sage. The shelves overflow with the older man’s plants, leaves growing proudly high or tumbling adorably downward. The air itself is easier here, weighted by love and not with suffering.

They found him in that basement a week ago, and by then the room was thick with pain. The stench of iron from staggering blood loss, the sharp tang of his terror as he’d waited for more. He got used to the feeling of being suspended, of his wrists turning raw from restraints. Now he rubs absently at them, peering at the rows of his partner’s books. Water bubbles as it boils in the next room, readying the fresh vegetables they bought from the market as they walked it today, slow and unhurried. Fresh air had been cleansing, the joy of mundanity as invigorating as it was exhausting. When he was suitably drained, Alderic slung his arm around his waist and supported him carefully to the car. He’d pressed a kiss into his hair, and Lee’s eyes had abruptly stung. This was everything he thought he’d lost. It swelled in his chest, too big for his body. He swallowed against the lump in his throat as he set the ingredients in his lap. If Alderic noticed, he simply smiled kindly, and climbed into the driver’s seat.

Six nights spent shaking in a hospital bed, fevered glances thrown at the doorway every time a stranger walked by. Alderic had noticed his easy panic, slept upright holding his hand every night. Lee was discharged from the hospital yesterday morning, and by evening the police had arrested his torturer. The shadows were merely shadows once more. The monsters inside them retreated.

Now his wounds heal slow beneath his myriad dressings. Their thickness keeps his posture perfect, keeps a different kind of tension in his body. The scent of cooked meat wafts towards him, fills his body with hunger — the kind that wont lead to starvation — and fills this space all around him with promise. He gasps in pain through his teeth, hobbles towards the inviting couch as Alderic whistles a familiar song. He sits down, lets his body sink down into the buttery leather. Crockery clinks, the fridge opens and shuts. The scent of fresh food wafts its way to him.

He’s safe. He’s safe enough to close his eyes, to let his healing body sag into the plump cushions beneath him. The draw of sleep is sweet and heavy. He lets it pull at him, drifting in and out of gentle unconsciousness — safe and warm — knowing that his heart belongs to Alderic, and that Alderic will wake him to hot food and warm eyes, and a life in which he needn’t be fearful, in which the normality of terror will ease from his body, will fade from muscle memory. A life, once again, in which everything will be okay.

Just Like Your Father and (if you have some idea of where you want it to go) Hyacinthus manifesting through hyacinths? 👀

Ooooo! Another ask! :D

Just Like Your Father

okay, honesty time: I don't have a strict outline for this yet. Basically, when I get to it, i'm gonna be snooping around @tsarinatorment's blog and nagging her with questions about Michael because she's the Michael expert in the fandom lmao XD

But yeah. I'm imagining this to be a little meeting between Michael and Apollo. Like perhaps Michael's first day/week at camp and Apollo rolls up in a dream with a frappachino and shades like "sup?"

really it's gonna be fluffy. although i have a habit of getting angst in there somehow...wait.

maybe.

i could-

hmmmm...........

*takes notes*

angst idea just hit :)

we have the above. and then post-lee's death. :)

how's that for angst? :)

Hyacinth can manifest by hyacinth flowers

What??? Huh??? What do you mean Alder??? Where are you going with this???

:)

listen. listen. In The Hidden Oracle, Hyacinthus actual talks to Apollo. Sure, he's delirious, but...he also could not be *raises brow significantly*

and Apollo sees Hyacinthus beside the hyacinth flowers growing on Cabin 7's window sills, right? So, if Hyacinthus is in a pseudo-alive state as the fandom loves to headcanon then...that means he can manifest around Cabin 7. Around Apollo's kids.

And. and! Technically, Hyacinthus is now a deity of some sort because of the Spartan festival Hyacinthia! He's worshipped as a full-blown god! Therefore, he has abilities (while limited) and I whole-heartedly believe he would use the majority of them to protect his lover's kids.

also just imagine Hyacinthus checking in on the Apollo kids, adjusting their comforters, and subtly waving away nightmares <3

The swelling had finally gone down. Even still, Lee felt like his eye had a slight throb to it, though it was most likely in his mind (or, at least, that was what he was telling himself). It subsided a bit when he closed his eyes, and so he had no issue doing so, leaning back into the seat of the train.

It had turned out to be mostly paperwork and stature, after all. He was a tall, broad Victor, and so the Vox's protocols had kicked into place, and with no one really around to vouch for him, Lee had been left in the cell for much longer than others. But eventually they got around to him, he was able to swear his allegiance or whatever, and he was allowed to continue with his life.

Or rather, he realized, to start it anew. There were no more Games to Mentor. He was hardly a Victor, now, even. He was... Lee Hatchett. And so when they had offered to let him simply... go home? He had leapt at the chance. He was on the first train to Seven that he could muster.

The door to the cabin slid open quietly, but not quiet enough to escape his notice. He cracked one eye open and his heart fell to his stomach. Alder Reid, who he had not seen since the attack. Alder Reid, who he had had zero information about since the Vox took over.

Alder Reid was alive.

Lee's arms were around Alder before his brain processed that he had stood, rushed forward, and started crying. Alder Reid was alive. "Alder," he gasped. "Alder. Alder... oh my god. Alder."

Everything had gone black. He was pretty sure his behavior during the interview might have otherwise landed him in much hotter water, but the Peacekeeper detail watching the tributes closely seemed to have fallen into disorganization quickly after everything went dark and teams were escorted back to their floors-- maybe their communications were impacted too.

So Alder, heart pounding, took the opportunity. He knew where the emergency stairs were, and still in his interview outfit, he bolted. The soles of his shoes slammed against the concrete down the first flight of stairs--

And directly into someone. He stumbled backwards, painfully falling against the hard ledge of one of the steps, hands barely slowing the fall. Dazed, he blinked for a moment into the darkness, then recognized the form. "Lee?" he blurted, confused, as though he was not the escapee.

what kind of fruits/foods do your ocs like the most? or, if it's easier, which ones do they hate the most?

interesting ask, ty sard :] Alder and Lee are probably characters of mine whose stories are centered around food the most so Imma answer for them

Alder Scott likes lighter, fresher foods best. Ex: strawberries, peaches, blackberry gin, things with citrus or cilantro or spice, things with a variety of textures. He loves natural sweetness over artificial sweetness, but he doesn’t like stuff that’s bitter or super heavy. His family had to live off tesserae for a long time, and he knows from experience that it’s harder to taste rot in something that’s already bitter, and he associates heavy and bland foods with hard times in his life. His relationship with food is complicated and unhealthy because he feels privileged for having access to it whenever he wants now, but not all of his attempts to share his food go well, and occasionally he relapses into believing he’s starving again or punishes himself for his privilege by dieting.

Lee Edwards is kinda the opposite. Carbs all the way. Pasta, pizza, rice, bread. He likes cooking, but he hasn’t been able to do it very often before the start of the story because he was kinda just going for whatever was cheapest and most available and convenient, but he gets more opportunities to cook in the story. For Lee, food is about comfort and love, and he treats it very much like Brennan Lee Mulligan, where he recognizes food as fuel and refuses to let himself feel bad about fueling his body in a way he enjoys. He is also one of those people who feeds their people any chance they get, so him making stuff for Tim becomes a plot point.

food isn’t usually a big thing in my stories, but I’ve been thinking about it more in my writing since I started taking a more active role in determining what I eat and what I want to eat, so again, my stories are always mirrors of some of me :]

[verumfm]

is that … LEVIATHAN, ALDERIC MOON, GAVAIN SHARDA, & HALIYA BULAWAN returning home after a journey? the town of cynefin welcomes you, rin, yara, & frey. please be sure to review our local laws before you settle in.

the following faceclaims & positions are now taken: oh sehun, lee jongsuk, dev patel, christina nadin, muse 8, rare magic slot, & professor slot.

( oh sehun , genderfluid , he/they ) — as the demons pour out of the sea LEVIATHAN makes their way to the shore, a six thousand year old creature who appears thirty. here with their feet planted on cynefin’s soil, it is images of the calm sea before a storm, cries of birds, the mystery of the unknown, and devastation after tsunami that flood the minds they touch. some may even say that they are attentive and honest, but it matters little that they are tied by a sorcerer’s contract — they remain unabashedly callous and apathetic. beware, for demons are never truly kind. ╱ rin, 27, she/her, gmt+7.

( lee jongsuk , cis man , he/him ) — amongst the faces lining the staff portrait wall, you recognize ALDERIC MOON, the thirty - four year old professor within the school. having spent four years as a member of the verum staff, students say that they’re reminiscent of silence spreading over a room as night falls , the feeling of being seen for who you are , a blink into the future and a blink into the present , the rich scent of a black coffee sitting on an organized desk , and grasping your own hands to avoid reaching out for another’s. their innovative and calm temperament brings color to these halls, but be warned, you may also find them to be deceitful and opinionated. regardless, hopefully they’ll remain when it’s time for verum to open its doors again. ╱ yara, twenty - six, she & her, est.

( dev patel , cis man , he/him ) — one day the sea will sing of GAVAIN SHARDA, the thirty - three year old historian from the town of cynefin. there will be verses about pages rustling as the wind shuffles through an open book , always being one step behind and one moment too late , the roots of a tree growing strong and plentiful , an orange peeled and split in two , and the weight of generations on your back and shoulders in the hums of their hymn, about a person who is trained in the magic of khemia. the land will know them as someone gracious and reliable, but perhaps, you’ll hear the old crones hiss that they are pensive and a workaholic. only the shadows of the ocean floor will bear witness to the truth. ╱ yara, twenty - six, she & her, est.

( christina nadin , cis woman, she/her ) — the halls of verum academy is home to HALIYA BULAWAN, the twenty-six year old student of anima. listen to the whispers that follow them through the door of the human biology classroom, the ones about morbid laughter echoing from inside a mausoleum, the phantom scent of wilting roses, the tender notes of a requiem, as soft dark eyes behold and toy with the malleability of the human mind. once they graduate, their legacy will be one that is perceptive and sociable in nature, but the records will not mention that they are known to be vacillating and pernicious, too. they are, after all, the future of verum. ╱ frey, 27, she/her, gmt+8.
