((tags...work magic and make me able to have a clear choice here...))

[psychedeliclush]

this is gonna be interesting 😭

this is like blur vs oasis but its shoegaze vs britpop

( INFORMATION AND EXAMPLES OF EACH GENRE UNDER CUT )

SHOEGAZE !

Artists: Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Mazzy Star, Cocteau Twins, Chapterhouse, Lush

Most popular Era: 90s

Basic definition: Shoegaze creates an ethereal, dreamy vibe through the use of swirling vocals, distorted, shimmering guitars and feedback-induced droning riffs. It gets its name from the heavy use of effects pedals, as the performers were often looking down at their pedals during concerts (gazing at their shoes).

Song examples:

BRITPOP !

Artists: Blur, Oasis, Echobelly, Pulp, Elastica (technically Lush could also be here)

Most popular Era: 90s

Basic definition: Britpop is a sub-genre within alternative rock, taking a more bright and catchy approach. As the name states, it originated in Britain, as a competitor against the American grunge scene and Britain's very own shoegaze scene. It contains elements of British pop music from the 60s, glam rock and punk from the 70s, and the indie pop of 80s.

Broadway Divas Tournament: Round 3

Donna Murphy (1959) is a two-time Tony-winning legend of the Broadway stage, with five nominations in all, each for Best Leading Actress in a Musical. Her gripping performance as the chronically ill Fosca in Sondheim's Passion (1994) may have disgusted and disturbed audiences, but earned her immense critical acclaim. Two years later, she won her second Tony for The King and I (1996), and the year after that, earned a Daytime Emmy. Additional credits include: Dear World (2023), Hello, Again (1993), LoveMusik (2007), and most recently on Broadway, Bette Midler's alternate in Hello, Dolly! (2017)

With a career of triumph after triumph, Marin Mazzie (1960-2018) was an unfathomable talent. With lauded roles in powerhouse shows like Passion (1994), Ragtime (1998), and Kiss Me, Kate (2000), and sleeper hits like Carrie (2012), and Fire and Air (2018), Marin was born to make something beautiful. She earned three Tony nominations, and posthumously was awarded a Special Tony Award for her women's health advocacy. After three years of treatments, remissions, and relapses, Marin died on September 13, 2018. She was 57.

did a poll some time ago for headcanons and Heather from Darkharvest00 won! here y'all go :)

Heather McComber Headcanons

-I feel like she would probably smoke either Marlboro or Camel. (ik Camel isn't really like by many people but i just FEEL IT)

-She and Chris would share music recommendations with eachother. Chris would show her some indie underground shit and Heather would probably to show him Britney Spears lol

-I've also thought about her music taste a lot; i'm debating between popular pop of the late 2000s early 2010s (like Britney Spears, Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, Adele) and maybe some RnB, or alterative female artists like Fiona Apple, Kate Bush, Mazzy Star, Florence + The Machine etc. I'm leaning towards the first option because it's more time accurate but i can still dream💔

-She would LOVEEE feminist literature.

-Heather is honestly such a good friend. And her entire story is sad, since she has always been seen as a sort of 'threat' by Chris and Alex due to her history with the Order, but she's actually like,, such a good friend. I mean, she dead ass cut Chris' ankle to get the tracker out. And even with her life in danger, she helps out both Chris and Alex. She deserves so much appreciation from the fandom tbh.

-Also i think lots of people focus on Chris' trauma more (which is also horrible btw), but Heather has also gone through shit. First coming from a dysfunctional family who's apart of a damn cult, then getting ostracized for that. This isn't saying that she's not a flawed character, she did lie about her grandfather, but there's reasons behind that. I feel like she has this fear of being judged, and especially by Chris and Alex. They are really the only way she has of taking down The Order, so there's big risks in losing them.

-^ Also i think that's why she smokes. Maybe from the anxiety, having to be careful with every word you say. Especially with Chris who grows so paranoid and neurotic, she would feel tense around him. Both of these characters are scared, tense, and stressed. Neither of them are bad people, it just shows the effects stress and paranoia have on the mind, sometimes making you lose sanity.

thank you for reading! Chris and Alex are probably up next 🖤

BROADWAY DIVAS SUPERLATIVES: Mother Play

There are countless mothers who grace the Broadway stage each season. Here are just a few who get to be both mothers* and fantastic characters in their own right.

*I'm not entirely sure what this slang means, but it's objectively funniest that I continue to live in ignorant bliss, even with the real chance I'm using it incorrectly.
