The white people of the ACOTAR fandom are odd. Like no offense to the ones that are chill but others need to chill. Those who think Feyre is in the right to fuck up the Spring Court are just ew. Imagine if someone destroyed your country with the idea of revenge in mind, multiple homes get destroyed in the process because war is on the horizon. You have to flee into other Courts so you can be safe and leave your original home behind, not knowing if you will ever come back because of what that person did. Sounds familiar?

What makes this even worse is that SJM is a zionist and what Israel is doing to Palestine is what Feyre did to the Spring Court. She can write her ideologies into her books and people can act like it's fine when it's not!

I'm a person of color, a black woman. Imagine how some black readers found out how A Court of Silver Flames was promoted. If you aren't aware, Sarah took the death of Breonna Taylor, a 26 year old African American woman who was fatally shot by a cop. It's STILL on her Instagram page, just keep scrolling until you find it.

BITCH YOU COULD'VE MAKE ANOTHER POST, ADDRESSING IT BUT NO. I LOVE NESTA BUT BROTHER UGH. The vibe of it is nice but...

The black community is always targeted when it comes to police brutality. This is one of the traumas in our community that we have to deal with, even in modern times where everyone is supposed to be "free". Have we not struggled enough?

It disgusts me that some authors (mainly white authors) will take the pain of a community and use it for their book(s). Or authors that can write a book with a character that will rise up to fight back against the oppressors and still support Israel.

Illyrians in ACOTAR are portrayed as violent, savages, and warmongers. They're apparently supposed to be POC codded, are you fucking kidding me? Is this supposed to be a diss towards brown and black people? Maybe even the indigenous? Feyre wears Illyrian wings like bitch, wear another type of wings. Her or Rhysand haven't done shit for Illyria and while the woman gets their wings clipped, Feyre can fly all she wants.

Imagine how Emerie will feel when she finds out.

Don't get me started on Feyre's hand tattoos. It might just be me but why is this white girl wearing that? Take that off bro. In this world, it's called Mehndi, the traditional art of painting your hands, feet, or the body with paste. In Arabic, what we call it is Henna. It's used in the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa. Like the designs are pretty but I don't want to see the human born, turned fae wearing it. TAKE IT OFF, WHITE GIRL. And another thing, why was Feyre acting like that towards the humans in ACOFAS? You forget where you came from, girlie pop but anyways.

Kendrick Lamar's song Euphoria is me towards the ACOTAR series and SJM. Sarah looks like a nice lady but she's fake as hell.

If you want to read SJM's books, try buying it from a used bookstore or somewhere online that doesn't connect to her. You can download PDFs or read them online.

It's crazy when I see a black person reading her books. On Tik Tok, I saw Jordan Fisher talking about how he's a fan like babes. I love him but...

The voices in my Wish Rewrite

I haven’t talked much about it, but in my Wish rewrite some characters would be recasted. I wanted to make this post just to show which actors I’d replace… And it’s pretty much everyone except Magnifico, cause ya know, Chris Pine is Magnifico, and Magnifico is Chris Pine, it’s just how it is.

So let’s get this started!

Asha- Denée Benton

Im absolutely OBSESSED with this woman’s voice, she sounds like an angel and carries so much personality in her performance, she sounds pure, youthful, hopeful but also strong, everything I imagine Asha as. THIS is what I imagine the 100th anniversary Disney princess sounding like. Not that I didn’t like Ariana DeBose’s singing tho, but I just love Denee Benton more, and hey, it’s my rewrite, so I get to imagine Asha’s voice how I please. Also I can totally see Asha and Aster singing this song.

Aster- Jordan Fisher

Oooooh this man, I love him so much. His voice has the perfect energy for Aster, sounding youthful and melodic like a prince, it had to be a literally other worldly voice, and I think Jordan’s voice is PRETTY DANG other worldly, like, this example I found on Spotify doesn’t even do him justice, go listen to his other singing chops on YouTube.

If you look up Jordan Fisher you’ll see the guy is DEEPLY connected with Disney in his career, from singing the song “Happily Ever After” 6 years ago, which is the theme song for the Magic Kingdom, to now being the main singer of 4-town in the movie Turning Red. And of course this one time he made a cover of “You’re Welcome”, the guy just lives and breaths Disney so WHY NOT have him as a wishing star? It just makes sense. But besides working with Disney he also has experience in a musicals such as Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, Sweeney Todd and more recently he became the new Orpheus in Hadestown… And by god I need a good quality audio of him singing “Wait For Me” more than I need air because that song fits Aster’s character SO WELL.

Magnifico- Chris Pine

Yeah no surprises here, you can’t have Magnifico without Chris Pine… But HIS SINGING VOICE IN THIS SONG THOUGH??? ITS SO GOOD!!! I listened to “Any Moment” ONCE and now I constantly go back to listen to it over and over and imagine young Magnus and Amaya meeting in the woods. I still haven’t posted about Amaya’s backstory BECAUSE IM TOO LAZY TO FINISH THE DRAFT I HAVE EXPLAINING IT- But let me just say her hesitating to start a relationship with him is VERY accurate to her character. And Magnus being like “May I kiss you” out of nowhere because he: 1- Sees himself as irresistible so he thinks she’d fall for him with just that and 2- he had 0 social skills before he met Amaya.

And then there’s the line “Life is often so unpleasant, you must know that as a peasant” ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! This is LITERALLY something my Magnifico would say, I’m so freakin lucky!

My point is, my rewrite’s Magnifico sounds like THIS when he sings, with a deep, smooth and honeyed voice that makes you want to trust him… Take that high pitched voice Chris Pine did in “This Is The Thanks I Get” and throw it out the window. Disney wasted the man’s talent. I’m so mad.

Amaya- Emily Blunt

Do you guys see my vision? Do I even have to say anything? Like really, go watch a scene of the Mary Poppins remake, any scene with her at all, that woman has a voice that DEMANDS respect, while also being motherly, it’s practically perfect in every way. I’m using “Open Up Your Eyes” here as an example though because… Well, it fits her backstory… Ya know, the backstory I’m stalling to talk about 👉👈… But it also just simply fits her personality in general!

And no disrespect for her voice in the movie, Angelique Cabral… BUT ITS EMILY BLUNT AS AN EVIL QUEEN!!! Come ooooon! It’s just meant to be!!!

Also side note, since we’re talking about Queen Amable, THIS design that came from an deleted scene is how I’ve imagined her the whole time:

Like, I could not STAND her hairstyle in the movie, it simply didn’t fit my vision for her character, see, Amaya is sophisticated but she’s also… Practical and likes to feel comfortable, hence why in my rewrite her dress has no sleeves, she values her own comfort more than conforming to the social norms… AND THAT HAIR LOOKING LIKE HEADPHONES WITH THAT CROWN THAT MADE HER FOREHEAD LOOK LIKE A SQUARE DROVE ME NUTS!

So yeah, this is our Queen Amable, voiced by Emily Blunt, with a British accent, in all her glory, we’re moving on.

Valentino- Gregory Mann

This is just a bonus mention, since Valentino doesn’t even sing in my rewrite, he just speaks in like 3 scenes… And you guys have only seen one of them so far. But either way, let it be known he sounds like Gregory Mann, because Gregory Mann sounds adorable. That is all.

Thank You For Reading!

[riddles-n-games]

Watching the Euros rn and um, I take back my fancast for Xander. This, this is the guy who should take Jordan Fisher’s spot in my mind:

Lamine Yamal, 16 year old Spain player who is the youngest goal scorer ever at the Euro Cup. He’s a little superstar and he literally looks like what I imagine Xander to be. Still in the same vein as the last guy but also the actual age of our fave smarty pants Hawthorne. You’re welcome.

[opera-ghost]

thought this needed to be shared on its own since the sweeney team have decided to edge us with releasing the cast album

this is from the second night of previews, february 28th. i gifted the full audio here, and shared a clip of the final sequence here as well

(more notes on the clip + the production under the cut)

after the verse about the beadle, annaleigh ashford attempts to swing onto the table and misses twice, before succeeding as the audience cheers. it was really funny in the moment and played into the vibe of the song as both ashford and groban continued to crack up. this seemed to happen on more than one night during previews from what i've read, which had me suspecting that it was a planned break-in a la the music man revival. but outside of previews i haven't heard of this happening again, so they could very well have just had difficulty with this bit during the first few shows. either way, the audience couldn't get enough of it. it was just amazing to hear this whole sequence live after only ever watching the movie and concerts (where the audience volume is significantly reduced). there was just the most contagious laughter at all the right moments, and it makes me really upset in hindsight that this number was butchered so much in the movie

so much to say about ashford and groban's performances in general. they clearly have so much fun with these roles and they do this particular number such justice, in my opinion. their visual comedy is just on a whole other level, and it really let the material shine along with their vocals. some people have criticized ashford for her accent/general characterization of mrs. lovett, but i'm so obsessed with what she's brought to the role. her lovett skews younger and, to me, she offers a mix of the iconic actresses who have taken a stab at the character before. others have had things to say against groban being cast as sweeney, but i personally enjoyed him very much, and he's of course at the top of his game vocally. this production plays things pretty straight and doesn't do anything super imaginative with the staging, but it really lets the actors performances shine

as a general note for the whole show, maria bilbao absolutely kills it as johanna, john rapson as the beadle makes parlor songs into one of my favorite bits of the show, and i want to print a little picture of nicholas christopher's pirelli and keep it in my wallet. gaten mattarazo is a great tobias, ruthie ann miles's beggar woman is as entertaining as she is soul-crushing. though he's since departed, jordan fisher had amazing chemistry with maria bilbao and his anthony was very sweet. jamie jackson as judge turpin was everything you could want out of that character, though i really really would've loved to see mea culpa here. i think the judge in this production especially feels a bit empty without it

this revival makes the weird choice to remove the factory whistle, which really takes away from a lot of the drama and overall makes it feel less sweeney-esque. although, i did read that they were maybe having technical issues during previews and added it back in later? but i watched/listened to some bits after opening and didn't hear it, so... still must be noted

despite some general criticisms i'm just so obsessed with this show, it's amazing to have a full staging of it on broadway once again and the 26-piece orchestra still has me in a chokehold. i highly recommend seeing it if you can!

[princesjackpot]

Speaking of Yuna, have you thought of voice actors you think would suit her yet? Because I remember you having some difficulty deciding Riku's but eventually deciding on some. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts processes on that.

OH thank you for the question :3

I'll use Yuna as an example for how I decide voices for my characters. When picking a VA for a character I tend to have a specific voice for that character in my head. Some voices are definitely clearer than others but in general I have some idea of how they sound.

That is usually based off of their personality and how I think they'd speak/what phrases they'd use (which like. sounds obvious). This is part of the reason why Yuna doesn't really have a VA (or a selection of VAs) at the moment - Yuna as a character has never really had a set personality in my head, I've had several iterations of her if that makes sense!

I've been thinking more about her and her role in the plot, I think I have a bit of a clearer view now. Yuna is quiet but she's quite confident in herself and isn't afraid to ask questions - she's passionate about journalism (key for her character)! I imagine she has a very sure voice, a bit calm, very articulate. She would still sound young - she's about 14 in the story. Like Riku she is very kind too! So I think that would come across in her voice too.

And now that I have that in my head I'll generally just spend a bit of time looking into VAs that I think might fit! The easiest way for me is actually to go on Behind the Voice Actor and look at games I've played LOL and just kinda browse there for a bit. Other times it might just be I see a clip of a show and go "huh that could work for [character}" and I'll go and watch clips from the show to see if it would fit. And other times it might just be a recommendation from someone! That's actually how I picked Riku's japanese VA (shoutout to the lovely anon who suggested Nobuhiko Okamoto for him). I'm kinda open to all inspiration really (so if anyone had a suggestion for Yuna I'd be more than happy to hear!).

And that's kind of my process really! Pretty simple but its basically a bit of research based on what I have in my head already. In general I just have headcanons for their English VAs (for all my characters) because that is the ones I would be most familiar with but in Riku's and Yuna's case where they are Persona OCs I want to make an effort to have Japanese VAs for them too.

And seeing as you mentioned him I thought I'd just list the current list of potential VAs for Riku because it's changed quite a bit:

Zeno Robinson - I absolutely adore Zeno and I think he would make a great Riku. I picture him using a voice similar to his voice for Hawks from MHA. I picked him before he got announced as Junpei's new VA lol.

Cedric L Williams - I only found out about him fairly recently - he voices Kabru in Dungeon Meshi. Something about his tone just fits Riku imo!

Jordan Fisher - I don't think he has done much video game work outside of one (Until Dawn? Maybe?) but I think he has a lighter tone than the other two (more playful? It's hard to describe lol). And the massive bonus with Jordan is that he can sing - and Riku is canonically supposed to be a good singer.

Those are the choices for his English VAs, his Japanese VA is still Nobuhiko Okamoto (I know he's in P5X but whatever lol he fits way too well). I may end up polling it one day but honestly if anyone had any opinions/thoughts I'd love to hear it!

Thank you for the question, it was a great question, I hope the response was interesting 😌

𝚙𝚊𝚜𝚝

-- arlo was adopted by jennifer and daniela when he was a baby. he knows he's adopted and knows the home that he came from wasn't one suitable for a baby - and that is all that he has ever felt like he needed to know. arlos childhood home was filled, first and foremost, with love. his mothers really showed him what a good, healthy relationship should look like. and being raised by two women meant that he learnt pretty quickly that you needed to lead with empathy.

-- when arlo was four, his mothers decided that they wanted to move out of the city. his mom, jennifer, had moved to new york from red wing, minnesota, when she was younger - being an aspiring show dancer - and she had always felt a yearning to go back home. so that's what they did. they ultimately moved in down the street from harper chen. she and arlo quickly became friends and they were pretty inseparable from that moment.

-- harper was one of the reasons why arlo went to the college that he ended up going too. he had been accepted to a couple and he had been incredibly indecisive but really, the pull of having a familiar face in an unfamiliar setting was too strong.

-- he had the time of his life at college. not wanting to miss out on any college experiences, arlo joined a fraternity in his freshman year - it was here where he met jamie novak. with jamie being a little older than him, arlo really looked to him as though he was his big brother. and he kind of tagged along whenever jamie hung out with his friends - similar to how a little brother. but because arlo was such a kind person, he quickly found his true friends, within jamies group.

-- so when the idea of going to stillwater to celebrate finals came along, arlo was quick to agree. he'd do just about anything to spend time with this particular group of friends. but, as we all know, the trip ended in disaster after jamie was found dead. the image of his friend in the water has never left him and still, to this day, continues to haunt his nightmares.

-- when they returned back to college, arlo did what he could to keep the group together. he pushed down his own grief to try and give his friends a shoulder to cry on. but his desperate efforts to keep them together, came up with nothing as the group drifted apart. he kept up with as many people as he could - though some of those friendships fell by the wayside.

-- whilst arlo went to college to study computer science, he quickly realised that it wasn't where his heart was. not after jamie had died. if his death had taught him anything, it was that he needed to take life by the horns and that he wanted to be in a job that meant he could help people. fire fighting encompassed that and soothed a bit of his inner adrenaline junkie. so arlo dropped out of college and started to work towards his new dream. it wasn't easy but he worked hard at it and eventually got where he wanted to be.

-- the move to new york was something which arlo had wanted to do for a long time. he wanted to see the place where he had spent the first few years of his life and after he dropped out of college and his friendship group disintegrated, he decided it was the perfect opportunity to move away, to start new. it was around the time of his move that arlo started to withdraw himself from harper. his feelings for her had only gotten stronger and he just couldn't bring himself to be around her and he couldn't risk telling her and losing yet another friend. he found it easier to slowly withdraw himself from her.

-- his life in new york was a happy one. he made a new group of friends and started dating a young woman called eva russell. the pair had just moved in together when he heard the new about harper. her death completed wrecked him. he had always intended to reach out to his oldest friend but time just got away from him. the pain of her death caused him to pull away from his friends in new york and he broke up with eva. it was an impulsive decision but he just couldn't imagine him ever being able to give her what she needed. and it became clear to him that he had never really gotten over his feelings for harper.

-- when he heard about the trip back to stillwater, to spread harpers ashes, arlo had been hesitant. he didn't know how it would feel to be around a group of people that - for the most part - he hadn't seen in years. but he knew that he had to do this for harper. he couldn't deny her, her final wish.

𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚌𝚊𝚗𝚘𝚗𝚜

-- arlo is an adrenaline junkie. he wasn't when he was younger. he was someone who liked to stay safe and protected. but he's come to find that, that hit of adrenaline helps calm his brain. he doesn't think about the 'what ifs' as much as, really, doing things that scare the hell out of him makes him feel a little better about the things that he didn't say to people.

-- the gold ring which arlo is never seen without, was a gift from harper that she had given him when he turned 21. it's a fairly slim gold ring that he wears on his right hand pointer finger.

-- relationships have never been something which have been that successful for arlo. his first girlfriend was in high school but it only lasted a couple months. he dated a few people in college - whilst also realising he was pansexual - but none of them were anything he was really all too invested in. his longest relationship was with eva. it lasted just under 2 years before he broke things off. his feelings for harper were always bubbling under the surface. he had never closed that chapter fully and so was never really able to throw himself into a relationship.

-- he's a big book guy and will always have one in his bag. his favourite thing to read is fantasy. though he is known to delve into a thriller every so often - didn't mean he wanted to live in one.

-- he is always trying to learn new things. so far, he has learnt 2 languages (french and latin) and is trying to learn another (russian). although travelling has never been something which has particularly taken his fancy, the difference in languages has.

-- arlo is also big into gaming - video games, tabletop games, board games, you name it! he has a regular d&d group - where he met eva - and is often on his playstation when he has some free time.

𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚗𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜

-- jamie novak: fraternity brothers. jamie was one of the first in the frat who spoke to arlo when he joined the fraternity and really took his under his wing. he really looked up to jamie. he was the kind of person that he wanted to be. his death shook his to his core and is still something which he struggles to wrap his head around.

-- harper chen: childhood friends. she was one of his most treasured friends. they had known one another since they were four years old. harper was one of the reasons why he went to the college that he did. the death of harper was just something which he had never seen coming. it completely knocked the wind out of him. what he hadn't told her hadn't really told anyone was that he had been in love with her since they were kids. the 'what if' is something which has been haunting him.

-- isa morgan: confidant - whilst the two of them were never all that close when at college, it was after jamie died that they truly became friends. arlo wanted to be there for her and, eventually, she let him. she's the only one who knows about his feelings for harper. they're still close friends, to this day.

-- connor acosta: the bad influence / bestie. connor and arlo met, briefly, when he visited harper when they were kids. but it was college when they really became friends - when they were fraternity brothers. they quickly became good friends. with arlo acting like the angel on connors shoulder and connor acting like the devil on his. the pair were always getting into silly, stupid situations together. although they kept in touch after arlo dropped out, they weren't as close as they had once been. living in different cities took its toll on their friendship.

-- julian koenig: the unlikely friends. on paper, arlo and julian seem as opposite as you could pretty much get. but they had a lot more in common than you would expect. they were different but their differences were what made their friendship work. the pair have stayed in touch but they haven't really seen each other since college - usually they chat whilst playing video games.

-- bowie bhat: rekindled friends. during college, bowie and arlo were pretty close. they were always someone which arlo would seek out during parties and the like but when jamie died, they drifted apart. bowie, still stuck in stillwater, was someone that arlo struggled to be around all too often. after harper died, however, bowie reached out to him and the pair have started to rekindle their friendship. despite the circumstances, arlo is really looking forward to seeing bowie.

-- miki aikawa: platonic soulmates. you know those people you meet and just click with. like they were a missing piece that you never knew you were missing? that was how arlo felt when he met miki. their friendship was like a breath of fresh air to arlo. and while the two of them weren't constant friends over the last ten years, but if miki ever needed arlo, he would be there and vice versa.

-- camille lawson: surface level friends. during college, arlo and camille got along pretty well. they had a class together and would chat - and they were friends. but when jamie died, it was clear the friendship was pretty surface level. they drifted afterwards. arlo checked in with her after hearing about harper, wanting to see if she was going to stillwater as well.

-- willa hoffman: good friends. throughout the years, arlo and willa have stayed in constant contact. they didn't see each other in person very often but would call and text all the time. they'd facetime at least once a month as well. she's been a constant in his life and someone who he loved very much. despite the circumstances, he is looking forward to seeing willa in person, at stillwater. arlo was the one who told willa about harper.

-- jacob williams: annoyance. while arlo and jacob were always friendly, he couldn't help but find jacob a little annoying. his constant getting into trouble and dragging jamie into it, get on arlos nerves. before jamie died, arlo had a word with him about jacob - which led towards the fight the pair had. arlo hasn't told jacob about it. needless to say, the pair did not stay in touch over the last few years.

-- remy jameson: the maybe. there was always a spark between remy and arlo but it was a spark that went unnoticed - at least by arlo. his feelings for harper crowded any feelings that might be there for remy. they lost touch after arlo dropped out.

𝚜𝚞𝚐𝚐𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚗𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜

-- ex best friend. the two of them really did get along and spent a lot of time together during their college years. but, for whatever reason, after jamie died, it kind of broke their friendship and they haven't really spoke since. arlo would be nervous to see them again.

-- i'm generally down for anything. so if inspiration struck while reading about him, let me know! it doesn't have to be one of the ones suggested, they were just what came to my brain

Jive - Quite Literally Floating - Strictly NRC Dancing

Author Notes: Another character I have never written a fic for, but I can say he was an interesting person to write. I also now have a healthy respect for the people who dance jives and a healthy alarm for the aerials and flips that are done in swing dancing. The dance in this fic was largely inspired by Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold’s jive on week 9, season 22 of  Dancing With the Stars. It's an enjoyable performance that is well worth watching so I recommend it. Just like the rest of this AU/series the reader is female for this fic. I hope you enjoy!

If you would like to read more this AU/series, the fics can be found here: Strictly NRC Dancing Master-List

Type: Dance AU/female reader/fluff/platonic but could probably be taken as romantic

Word Count: 1009

I rolled my shoulders in preparation for what was no doubt going to be a very…. Interesting, experience. 

It wasn’t that I was scared or didn’t trust Lilia. Because as much of a trickster as the potentially ancient fae was, he would never let me get hurt and would sooner hurt himself before he caused me any injury during the dance.

I also wasn’t actually concerned about the dance I was going to be performing with the lively third year. The jive was a good fit for Lilia. It was bubbly and vivacious, just like he was. 

My only concern was how well he would obey the rules.

This was Lilia’s third dance class, and by now it was beyond obvious that the man knew how to dance. I could imagine that this was due to his having been part of the Valley of Thorns court, as I understood it. 

During choreography practice, he’d even told me that dancing was like child’s play to him. Which was perhaps the reason why he had so much fun taking the rulebook and throwing it out the window as hard as he could.

I eyed the short man with at least a small degree of wariness that had his pink eyes sparkling, “Let’s have fun with this, child.”

There was a giggle to his voice that had me wondering exactly what the mischievous little fellow was planning, even as I shook my head with a slight smile, “As if you’d have it any other way.”

Everything was fine at the start of the dance, with the two of us having few to no problems. In fact, dancing with Lilia was almost like dancing with a shorter version of one of the teachers.

 He knew exactly what he was doing, where he needed to be, and how to guide me around for the maximum effect.

A small part of me began to wonder if he would indeed pass this class without incident. Perhaps the jive was just wild enough that he didn’t feel the need to add his own sort of pizzazz to the dance. But I soon realized that I’d been ridiculous to think that when I noticed the height of Lilia’s head had shifted.

It took only a glance to confirm my fears. The fae man was no longer grounded and was now, quite literally, floating his way through the dance. Perhaps the most impressive thing about it was that he was still executing his moves perfectly.

To make matters worse, he was gradually pulling me up with him, causing my grip on his to tighten as my eyes flew back to his sparkling ones. He winked and gave a tiny snap of his fingers on his free hand as he released me.

I let out a tiny squeak in fear before realizing I had not fallen. No, I was seemingly dancing on an invisible dancefloor even though I no longer had a hold of the impish fae, who was still grinning as he danced next to me. 

I looked up, my eyes finding Crewel’s, who looked just as flabbergasted as I was and offered no guidance. Leaving me to place all my trust in whatever magic Lilia had worked as I resolved to do my best to finish the dance as planned. 

And it was a good thing too, considering it had come time for the flips. I glanced over at my partner to see him already grinning my way. Obviously ready for the part of the dance he'd dubbed his favorite section just moments before we’d started dancing.

I cartwheeled towards him, his hands catching my waist as my arms locked around his legs, and he proceeded to cartwheel while holding onto me. I made a total of three revolutions with him like that, stopping hand in hand with him and letting him twirl me back into him as he lowered us to the ground.

We touched down to the final drum beat of the pounding song, with me still holding quite tightly to his shoulders as I forced myself to relax.

I was on solid, visible ground again.

I’d known dancing Lilia would be undoubtedly fast-paced, but nothing could have prepared me for having to dance while floating at least a foot over the ground with a considerably excitable partner who’d been giggling the whole time.

I at last released the still chuckling fae and stepped back, eyeing him closely. 

Lilia had just executed an impressive jive that I doubted anyone else could pull off, but he wasn’t passing this class. Because while there was no rule explicitly saying you couldn’t float, something told me that Trein, at the very least, would frown upon that. 

 Especially since there technically weren’t supposed to be any lifts in a jive, though that rule had been flouted with astonishing success in past classes.

True to form, Trein was frowning, Crewel was shaking his head, Crowley and Vargas didn’t look like they knew what to think, and Sam was laughing. 

Lilia glanced my way and shrugged, eyes still sparkling like those of a little boy who knew he was in trouble but really didn’t care, “Tough crowd.”

“Lilia… You do realize you aren’t supposed to use magic in these classes, correct?” I didn’t know if I pitied Trein at this point or if I was impressed with his ability to continue enforcing his rules. 

Lilia shrugged, giving a little fanged grin at Treins’s question, “I just couldn’t help myself; Y/n makes a wonderful partner, and the jive is an equally enjoyable dance.”

“Be that as it may, I’m afraid you aren’t going to pass this class either, Mr. Vanrouge,” Crowley shook his head, still mystified-looking, but delivering the judges' grade nonetheless as Sam at last recovered.

“Even though that was possibly the funniest jive I have seen. Especially with the face Y/n made when you started floating.” The shopkeeper was still wiping away mirthful tears as Lilia offered me a smooth bow and wink before strolling off to watch the next performance.

Okay Part 2! For some reason, i forgot to mention the new Gypsy casting with both girls in the Notebook as sisters! It's so exciting and I'm glad the cast is going into more shows since it's now closing, with John Cardoza going back to Moulin Rouge too. Interested to hear if Mama was Married now but I think all of the casting is good too with Danny Burstein as Herbie. They just announced Jordan Fisher in Urinetown too but I'm not really familiar with that show. But fun fact I have a book on my shelf with the play lol but I wanted to find a bootleg first I guess..idk lol. Are you familiar with it? Should I just listen to the cast album or wait for clips from Jordan Fisher and this cast?

If you want to know my ranking of bootlegs I watched for comparison, it would be Gatsby, Lempicka and then Gutenberg. However I missed the end of Gatsby, found Lempicka okay but somewhat hard to follow for some reason and dont remember many songs. Gutenberg didn't really have songs and a silly humor but I enjoy both actors a lot and think their humor together is great. However Book of Mormon is not really one of my favorites, so if you don't enjoy that, you probably wouldnt like this. It also took us days to watch but I think it picked up a lot in Act Two and got more bizarre and funnier. But it was also hard to follow since they kept switching characters and the plot isn't supposed to make sense anyway. I also didn't have a chance to listen to these cast albums yet or again besides Gatsby though. I also found a Merrily bootleg and I'm so excited to watch it but have to wait until I can be fully into it and not too tired I've also never listened to all of it except a few songs so I'm excited to see what I'll think of it and I'm a big fan of the revival cast. I've been into a Sondheim mood lately too and his shows always make me so emotional. So at some point I will listen to these along with the Merrily one when i watch it. I'm so excited cuz you love it so much as well!!! I also found Joy Woods and Jeremy in Little Shop that I might watch at some point..maybe closer to Halloween. It's such a different role from the Notebook too even voice wise so I do want to check it out at some point.

I did watch the Death Becomes Her movie last night and am now trying to imagine the upcoming musical. Have you watched it? I do think they are younger compared to the movie when age and looking younger is a big part of it. I also don't know how they would do some of the stunts or fake deaths so maybe they changed some stuff. But I liked it and think it has potential for a musical although I don't know what kind of music would work. Pop doesn't really make sense..idk. what do you think? I love Megan Hilty and think its great casting but that's basically all I know so far. Also the taste music video makes a bit more sense now lol.

Omg that's so cool you're seeing her tour! I saw a few clips of performances the other day on Twitter and it just looks really fun and she put thought into some of the sets and transitions too but idk if you saw or want to be surprised. Juno would be sooo fun live. When's your show? I hope you have a great time! I tried and failed to get Zayn tickets for his SF show in a month but he has never toured so it sold out. Not sure if I will as the show gets closer since it's less than a month now. But I am planning to go to Wicked in the next few weeks if I can. After that is Hamilton and also Kimberly Akimbo and Some Like it Hot is in January. I wanna go to all of these but they're so close together and it depends if I can get rush tickets, but the other shows I haven't listened or seen at all which is why I wanted to go and it seems fun going in somewhat blind but we will see.

I'm hoping to get back into reading more. I'm excited for Sally Rooney's new book but I also never read Beautiful World so maybe I will read that too. How is it so far? I only read the synopsis once I think. Also I'm excited for Jandy Nelsons new book that just came out. I loved the snippet I read but not sure when I will read it. I will go back to reading I'll Give you the Sun at the same time probably so I am excited for that.

I was listening to all of Katy Perry's music before her album and then the new album. Unfortunately I did not like it as much but it's growing on me. It reminds me of Dua's album sort of if you liked that and go in not expecting much..but my sister loved it and now I'm just accepting it as it is. It is not as bad as people said in my opinion and pretty similar to her other albums. Anyway now Lady Gaga just released a short album with a few new songs and covers from the new Joker movie. I feel like it's perfect timing cuz I always pair them together and grew up with following their careers. This is not her new album though..apparently that's coming in February. I know it's not really a musical, more like a jukebox musical with more classic type songs which I don't mind. I did watch the first one anyway so I will probably watch it and she will make it better and also with the songs. I remember they played send in the clowns at the end of the first one so I hope it could be similar to that. I also loved her in Star is Born but this movie will show the more campy Gaga style but the songs are almost similar to her singing with Tony Bennett since they're classics. I'm just a fan of her though and like that she can sing different styles. I do really love her new song with Bruno Mars that almost reminds me of a Broadway duet with a classic type of sound so if it's like that, I'll enjoy it. I'm listening to it later today and can tell you what I think.

Also one of my favorite bands The Cure announced a new song and a album coming out the week after Soccer Mommy! Both of their music really saved me these last few years and it totally shocked me. Their new song is so good and you should give it a listen to see if you like it since it's the same as my favorite type of songs from them lol but they do have more upbeat songs too. If you like it, I recommend their album Disintegration or Wish for more upbeat stuff lol and any Soccer Mommy album. Anyway since you mentioned musical recommendations, I recommend The Violet Hour with Jeremy, Santino Fontana and Erika from Mean Girls. I listened to it after Gatsby and thought it went well. The title song is so beautiful. I hope you like it. I hope you're doing well and have a good weekend! I went to six flags last weekend and might go again in October. My asks will probably be once a week from now on since I feel that works better anyway though. I always read your blog and posts and see your beautiful edits though and it makes me smile!

sorry for the delay in replying my friend!! 🤍 i hope you're having a good october so far!

i'm so so excited for joy and jordan! i wasn't the most keen on jordan when i saw her in the notebook in chicago (saw an understudy — juliette (who i adored) but i've grown to like jordan more through listening to her on the cast recording. but joy... i cannot wait to see her shine. i'm so excited for joy woods world domination. i want her in everything. and i'm really excited for the new cast too, like anna zavelson who was in the recent NYCC piazza that i enjoyed, and i've heard benji santiago was delightful in the muny in the heights, and aisha jackson is deeply beloved too! i am also really intrigued to see who they'll cast for the tour. and i think john cardoza should play middle noah next (just because i want to hear him sing leave the light on, it's not easy, forever, etc.) but also really want him to do other things (would love him to be orpheus in hadestown, or guy in once, or ... so many other lovely roles). it's just been a while i've seen someone as talented and charming and charismatic and sweet.

i am not very familiar with urinetown! i know like two songs, but i've been meaning to check it out very soon — maybe that'll be my cast recording for next week and then we can discuss? 👀 i have no idea if i should hunt for a bootleg either but i've heard people are quite intrigued by the cast.

i haven't seen bootlegs of gatsby or gutenberg, but my friend who loves lempicka sat me down and had me watch it with her. i wasn't charmed by it. i do not particularly care for book of mormon (have never seen it live, but watched a bootleg back in the day, and have listened to the cast recording before) but they have done a wonderful job of casting talented people (a lot of whom i adore) over the years. i hope you love the merrily boot; this production of merrily is just phenomenal. i have not seen the joy/jeremy little shop boot but 👀 i have actually also never seen little shop 😭 you'll have to let me know what you think of it!

i'm going to watch the death becomes her movie with my friend on tuesday! i know the musical did really well out of town and i'm really intrigued to see if it also does well on broadway! i really love megan hilty so i'm just happy she's employed.

i'm seeing sabrina on november 6th! still no idea what i'm going to wear to tour but my friends and i have finally cemented what we're wearing to eras so at least there's that. i've seen some things here and there but i'm not actively looking for things! so i've been semi-spoiled but not quite! i'm sorry about zayn :( i hope you have fun at wicked! i'm seeing it in november :) i'm also going to see back to the future in december! unfortunately, i'm going to miss kimberly akimbo while it's here in seattle because i'll be in california! but i'll be seeing waitress at the sf playhouse so a win is still a win :)

i'm currently reading intermezzo still — trying to finish part 1 by monday/buddy reading with a friend — but i also started reading razzle dazzle: the battle for broadway by michael riedel! emphasis on trying, because i haven't really felt like reading lately! but i'm going to carve out some time to sit down and read intermezzo tomorrow!

i haven't listened to the new katy perry album! i don't particularly care for her music so it is not very high on my priority list, but i did enjoy the last dua album! did you see the brat remix collab list? i'm most excited for the 1975 on i might say something stupid (definitely laughed at that one), sympathy is a knife ft. ariana grande, everything is romantic ft. caroline polachek, and i think about it all the time ft. bon iver! i have not seen the joker movies actually! but i did get a text from a friend being like "DID YOU KNOW this was a musical" in a very accusatory manner 😭 like yes, i personally know every single musical. and am responsible.

i'm so glad you have their music 🤍 and i will listen to soccer mommy soon, i promise! is there an album i should start with first, or should i just go in order of release date? i'm adding the violet hour to my list!! it's a real list that exists on notion! i've never been to six flags — what's your favorite ride? i haven't been editing much lately because i'm 80% sure i have carpal tunnel so i'm trying to take it easy (also haven't been crafting much for that same reason) : ( but i do have a few old drafts i might post eventually <33333 hope you're having a good week my friend! 🤍
