[svnnyd4ys]

the return of sfth character tweets!!

(because i enjoy making these and it's nearly my birthday #whynot)

[dingdinghq]

all sfth knows is play sad, traumatized children and LIE

[timey-acey222]

fuck it im ranting

moist and magical is set in aberdeen, right? aberdeen is a city on the northeast coast of scotland. keep this in mind... so sandra tells maureen about how she is to die in loch lomond and when maureen gets killed, jasper 'rows' home.

id like to point out that aberdeen and loch lomond are on COMPLETE opposite sides of the country. like. completely opposite.

the boys really arent the best at geography. but we love them

Rewatched Moist & Magical and thinking about the gender of it all.

"I wanted to be a witch" "You cannae be a witch" "Why cannae I be a witch" "Because you're a boy. You can be a warlock or a wizard" "I want to be a boy witch"

Like initially the premise gets played off as a smart gender joke within the meta of the storytelling and becomes a major plot point along the way, but I can't stop thinking about it.

I don't want to be a boy or a girl, but some shade between and yet outside it all. I want to be a woman with a beard and long hair and gravel in my voice. I want to be a man in eye liner and a skirt and work boots laced tight. I feel some of my most feminine when I am wearing baggy, heavy clothes or building sets for a show. I still refuse to wear glasses that aren't that hipster square shape and made of dark material because it makes my face look more masculine. I dressed up as a vampire for halloween this year and looking into a mirror and seeing my high hairline and stubble poking through and the corset hugging me and my hair long and fluffy and a dark red lip and an open view of my chest that I don't hide from anymore and I felt so at home in my body in a way that I haven't in years. My relationship to gender not easy to figure out, and, as someone living in it, digesting it is laborious. And I don't expect everyone to get it; that's not the point. That was never the point. The crux of it all: Boys, if magical, can be ONLY a warlock or a wizard.

But I want to be a boy witch.

if i had a nickel each time a female character played by aj would disregard luke's character having a bad omen about the future, i would have three nickels, which is not a lot but makes it way too funny to be true

Rewatching Moist and Magical for the first time and omg, I forgot how much I love this play.

Luke's Sandra means everything to me.

Her shock when Maureen pulls off her hat and the whole hair bit

"Had I known. Had I known!"

Handling that heckler in character. "When I'm talking to my friend, fucking shut up!" Luke at his best

basically translating her whole vision just to make sure AJ gets it

pointing out that Loch Lomond is a real loch (there's even a song about it which I love and have now stuck in my head again)

"MAUREEN!" *said in increasingly dramatic ways*

"Got who? Who?" Luke is honestly such a great actor. Same goes for the bit in the beginning where he's grieving the third sister. Grieving!Luke is one of my favourites because he plays it so well

"Go forth, my boy! The first male witch!" YAY!

AJ's Maureen is just great in general.

randomly breaking into song when Sandra tastes the cake

"They say the moister it is-" "-the more you see." This sounds so wrong

the whole confusion over the loch bit of Sandra's vision

"Just passing the loch after locking up the shop." I feel like this should be on a t-shirt

Telling Jasper to run home instead of letting him help her always makes emotional. Same with Sandra telling Jasper to hide. They care so much for that boy

Sam's Jasper is naughty and owns my heart.

the accent!

"Ah ken. That's Scottish for 'I know'." And the middle fingers!

"I want to be a boy witch." And we're rooting for you, Jasper

"He looked a little bit like Henry Cavill if he had a wasting disease."

The Witchfinder General being an app to find local witches in the area - ngl that would be a great app

"Little boy, come hide with me." Sam breaking character as he reacts to it is so funny. "Absolutely not! No way! I've never seen more red flags in my fucking life. You're actually holding a fucking red flag!"

"I rather suggest you invite me in." Jasper, grinning, "No."

The last supper bit is so clever. Well done, Sam

"KAME! HAME! FOR SCOTLAND! HA!" This is the perfect ending

Tom's Witchfinder General is so intense.

"That's how I rollllllll"

"I work for the thrill of it. The thhhhhhhhrill."

That whole bit about having memorised the index and Sam throwing him under the bus with, "Please read it to me."

"Aberdeen is large." "Nope." "Aberdeen is medium-sized." "Nope."

"Witches, they're just hearsooth and foretell." Wtf, Tom?

"I've gone." XD

the way he just appears behind AJ in the background and moves from curtain to curtain is genuinely creepy (until he starts to make it funny. Then it's hilarious)

the fucking nipple clamps thing. Wtf was even that?

In short, I love this play, I love the witches and I'm glad Jasper gets to be the first male witch and defeats the Witchfinder General.

[i-may-be-an-emu]

Ok but just cause of the lighting it kinda looks like sam has eyeliner/eye make up of some kind and now all im thinking is EMOJASPEREMOJASPEREMOJASPER

[youling-the-ghost]

Jasper and Jimmy are adorable and hold a special place in my heart, but it makes me giggle that their friendship implies that modern-day police officers exist alongside the the witch hunt era of Europe in the sfth extended universe.

the first boy witch be upon ye

throws him and runs away 🪄

[goingroundincircles-ontrack]

It's Jasper, the little boy witch! From Moist and Magical

I've started drawing sfth characters in costumes correct to the time period they're set in. Jasper is from c.1745 and I've dressed him accordingly. More info beneath the cut:

So up until the edwardian period most children's costume was just mini versions of adults clothing. So I have dressed Jasper in mini men's clothes from around 1740, as Jasper, as he was not a noble, would not have been wearing the most up to date clothing, fashion-wise. He would have also most likely have been wearing hand-me-downs which accounts for the patches and missing buttons on his clothes. His hair is also quite long, but I think this is him growing it out into the popular tied back hairstyle of the period.

Anyways that's hopefully a bit of context as to how Jasper would have dressed.

[solo-walker]

This one line compels me to conclude that Rumpold is Jasper's grandson and has been hiding his Scottish accent as part of the persona he created to get his job as the groundskeeper. He learnt magic from Jasper. After all, if he could be a boy-witch, who says Rumpold can't pick the profession(s) that calls to him personally and be a wizard-assassin?

[rubber-glovs]

I'm listening to the smiths and thinking of moist and magical and I'm currently missing a certain someone💔💔
