#I still really like it :)

[punkinspice]

So it’s Zelink week thanks to @zelinkcommunity and I really only had the energy to do the first prompt Under the Stars and I just had to do it with my original otp, TP Zelink.

I just love them so much and it’s so fun and interesting to think about them and the events post TP and how Hyrule could rebuild and revive and how they could potentially fall in love. Zelda could learn how to process her grief and loss with the destruction of her castle and kingdom, and having the whole of Hyrule pull together and help rebuild. Link could also learn to process his grief and trauma of what exactly it took to be the hero of Hyrule, and what does one do with oneself when that role is not really needed anymore…

Link could come to Castletown to help rebuild to help bring him a new sense of purpose, as the calm life of Ordon just isn't the same of what it used to be because he's not the same person he was when he left. While Zelda could come to Ordon with Link and learn how to rest and feel revived with the simple but hard work of farm life, and the kids would all adore her and put flowers in her hair, and Link could finally tell Zelda his sincere mixed feelings of everything that happened with them and Midna and the Twili because she’s really the only other one who knows and understands what he went through, and maybe Link begins to see who Zelda is outside of being the crown princess of Hyrule, and maybe Zelda starts seeing Link for who he is outside of being the Hero of Hyrule and aaaaagh there’s just so much there to work with.

They’re all each other has with the depths of what really happened, and man. Rip to the fanfic I had of them that lived perpetually in my mind and will probably never see the light of day. 😭

"Welcome to the Theatre": Diary of a Broadway Baby

Suffs

April 23, 2024 | Broadway | Music Box Theatre | Evening | Musical | Original | 2H 30M

The changes and improvements to Suffs since its off-Broadway run have been staggering, to no surprise. A show must be allowed time to change and evolve before coming to Broadway and not all shows this season bothered to take that time. By refraining from making that mad dash to the Great White Way, Suffs has become an entirely new show with a tighter narrative, better pacing, and a clearer aim. And yet, something must always be lost. Ultimately, the bite was lost.

The show is good. It's a solid piece of storytelling with a better score than most right now. The design was given a Broadway facelift, complete with better costumes, and a bigger budget set design. Lighting design improved and shone. And yet on this vast Broadway-sized stage, it feels smaller. Softer. A pinch instead of a sting. In a smaller off-Broadway venue, a cast of twenty feels grandiose. On the vast, deep, massive Broadway stage, a cast of seventeen gets swallowed up. For the most part, the Broadway show takes place on one level, leaving the set design to tower over the actors. This, I have to assume, is a purposeful decision, though I'm still not certain of its efficacy. While I didn't necessarily like the utilitarian set off-Broadway, it split the stage into several levels, and the women felt larger than life. They demanded space and they took it.

The changes and cuts were necessary. The show is structurally rock-solid. I admire and applaud a musical theatre composer and writer who is able to kill her darlings in pursuit of creating something better to be proud of. It is a good show. I will be seeing it again. I will like it.

But the show on Broadway only ever comes within reach of grabbing you by the throat. It never quite gets there. It's resonant, it's relevant, but it is not riveting. Tension was lost in translation. The other version may not have been well-paced, but the fear and tension loomed large. I remember leaving The Public Theater ready to burn something to the ground. I left the Music Box pleased, but not radicalized.

Verdict: A Lovely Night

progress has been made... yet i still have an un-started assignment due tomorrow night. though...... my professor liked my last response, they mentioned they would have liked more of the technical stuff in it, which is the thing i am bad at. personally, if you can't get the point across in a heartfelt letter, what is the point of writing at all? i must write the same way i would a novel or a tumblr post even when talking about poverty statistics......... help us all

I never listen to music when I write. Anything but pure silence is distracting to me (I even use earplugs). But I'm jealous of all the writers who have perfect playlists to set the vibe. I decided I wanted a vibe too, so I got this cute lamp instead.

It has lots of different color combos, and looks so neat when I'm writing late at night.

very cool of anamanaguchi to put the sub boss theme in the final fight for literally just me and nobody else.

This made me laugh and I think I probably know the answer, but I'm curious as to which fanfic you're thinking of? The LynHec one?

In any case, I'm Lanonima on AO3 and FF.net also so. If that's what you're thinking, then yes ^__^

Ah, the big reveal! Finished in time for Fire Emblem’s 25th anniversary (yay!), the long-awaited final version of my Awakening cross stitch piece!

I did my best with the photos, but I’m not very good with cameras, so, I apologize. I also included the image of the pattern I made, and was working off of. Obviously the colors are a bit different (you can never perfectly match them, more’s the pity) but I still think it turned out really well!

The finished piece is about 11″ tall by 9.5″ wide, and used 62 different straight colors plus 22 color combinations. I don’t know exactly but I think it took me around 8 months from start to completion.

I hope you guys enjoy it! I worked really hard and I’m really proud of the final result. Happy Anniversary!

one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."

I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.
