MY HEADCANON FOR PARENTS NAMES:

Snow White: Bianca White ( Bianca means "white" and Whites are probably one of the most obsessed families with their story, every single Snow White had a name with meaning relative to the fairy tails,)

Evil Queen: Eris Queen (I can't remember did I read a fic where she was called Eris but I think that the name of the goddess of discord really suits her)

Sleeping Beauty: Rosalin Beauty (pretty standard name)

Cinderella: Ophelia Ella ( a sweet name for a sweet girl)

Red Riding Hood: Scarlett Hood (one more standard name)

Big Bad Wolf: Aiden Wolf (close friends call him Andy :) )

Dark Fairy: Darcy Thorn ( oh the irony of being the dark fairy with dark name and yet cover yourself in light)

Candy Witch: Cinnamon Witch (I also didn't come up with this name myself. I saw someone use it for her a really long time ago but I can't remember who. If the person who came up with this name sees this, you deserve a reward, the name is perfect. But I hc that she goes by her nickname: Candy. Why? Because it's such a cute nickname)

Pinocchio: Oak Wood (I think that every family name has something to do with trees or wood. Oak sounds like a perfect name for someone sweet, young and cheerful and later as an adult calm and wise)

Goldilocks: Dolly Locks ( I just think that its a cute name and she kinda remind me of Dolly)

Huntsman: Archer Huntsman (Okay, so, Huntsmans are bad at naming their kids, like REALLY BAD. Hunter we are counting on you to break that cycle)

King Charming: Dashing Charming (I read one fanfic were he is named Dashing and i think that name suits him, i myself couldn't come up with the more fitting name)

Queen Charming: Grace Charming (I also read that one in a fanfic and i think it fits her, somehow whenever i think of Charmings Dashing and Grace are the first name that come to my mind)

Rapunzel: Cressida O'Hair (I first just like the name but then i found out the Cressida means "golden" so it goes well with Rapunzel story)

Pied Piper: Devin Piper ( It means "bard" or "poet", the perfect name for a musician. Also, Piper is really a cool name, too bad it is already his last name)

Mad Hatter: Maddox Hatter (I just like silly names for Wonderlandians, especially Mad Hatter)

Queen of Hearts: Victoria Hearts ( okeey, it's not a very Wonderlandian name but neither is Elizabeth and Vicy is a cute nikename)

Cheshire Cat: Lorelai Cheshire (I didn't want to go for the obvious one Chatrine, like, I get it, she's a cat, She literally named her daughter Kitty, or maybe Katrine Kitty for short, BUT THEN I REMEMBER THAT TOLERAI EXISTED which is literally the same name just different first latter and I already gotten attached to Lorelai, so, umm if you all could just do me the favour and pretend that these are TOTALLY different names I would be very thankful)

Alice Wonderland: Amilia Wonderland ( Also would her last name be Wonderland or Liddell? Bonus cute nickname Amy)

White Rabbit: Castor Blanc ( At first i just liked the name but don't you think that "dutiful" is a perfect for White Rabbit)

White Swan: Elenor Swan ( It means "shining light" and to be honest with that destiny she's going to need some light in her life)

Black Swan: Callisto VonBart (What would be the last name of The Black Swan? VonBart?BlackSwan? I put VonBart because I found an OC of Odille on Pinterest and her last name was VonBart. I don't know)

Frog Prince: Hanry Croakington ( i reafuse to belive that he named his son after himself. Nuh-uh. He named Hopper after his father or maybe his grandfather)

Robin Hood: Wren Hood ( Listen, Listen, maybe they just have a thing with the birds?)

Maid Marian: Pandora Charming ( I don't think that there is a destiny stricly for Maid Marian. I think thats just a princess from Charming family or from nobel family, that's why i gave her last name Chaming. Last name changed after the wedding)

Beauty: Primrose Beauty ( Ah, Beauties and their roses)

Beast: Damian Beast (like it)

Fairy Godmother: Beatrice Goodfairy ("blessed one" mmm... too bad you can't bless yourself)

Jack Beanstalk: Jasper Beanstalk (nice)

Snow Queen: Isolde Winter (perfect for ice queen)

Snow King: Nikolai Winter (took his wife's last name, couldn't think of his own that's not arleady taken)

BONUS: PRINCES CHARMING

The Good King: David Charming (i think that only the main Charming follow that logic with names where all siblings have names with the same first latter)

Cinderella's prince Charming: Louis Charming (he's a nice boy)

Snow White's prince Charming: Cassian Charming (I just like it)

Sleeping Beauty's prince Charing: Liam Charming (don't ask)

Det finns en del människor i vår värld som sticker ut lite mer än andra och väcker ens nyfikenhet kring personen i fråga. I mitt fall gäller det speciellt personer som utstrålar livsglädje och som valt att gå sina egna vägar på olika sätt. På Hemligg.se har jag fått upp ögonen för just en sådan kvinna och undrat mycket kring hennes liv, tankar och livsval. Liksom alla andra på Hemligg så är hon anonym och där kallar hon sig själv för Hotwife_D. Hon är för ”vanliga dödliga” en helt vanlig 46-årig mamma med vuxna barn som har varit sambo i 25+ år. Men för de som verkligen får lära känna henne är hon så mycket mer än så. Läs gärna min intervju med henne på bloggen (Liwslust.se).

Between Star Trek Enterprise's fourth episode and that one episode of Round the Twist with the treenymph, I do love an episode revolving around a male human accidently getting pregnant from a non-human, 10/10 would recommend

[korben600]

They become a “wizard tower” because they have like…basic medical knowledge and hygiene. Theres like one person in the apartment block who’s like, a nurse at best, and they don’t think it’s a big deal. But they get a reputation for solving unsolvable problems so some poor schmucks bring in someone they think is dying in the hopes the New Yorkers can help.

At first they’re like “we’re not a medical school-“ and then someone points out the first case brought to them just has fucking scurvy and they actually do cure them in like a week with a diet fortified with the descendants of some potatoes they had planted when they first got there.

Cue a continuous stream of magical people and creatures coming to them to have them fix their problems, only about 10% of which are actually medical, and the rest are various flavors of “I got cursed” which is handled by the local paralegal who can generally rules lawyer their way out of anything, “I’m feeling terrible in my brain” which is can be handled by the therapist who was visiting the apartment block at the time of the isekai, and “my animals are being attacked by local wildlife” which is 100% of the time handled by a REALLY vicious orange tabby who has a thirst for blood and has realized it’s smart enough and deadly enough to take down anything short of an adult DRAGON if it puts its mind to it.

Note also: A whole flock of pigeons and crows is brought with them into the fantasy world and thanks to an particularly dedicated fellow on the spectrum with a hyperfixation on birds, the New York Magicians Forum (also known as the NYMFs) becomes renowned far and wide as a hub of communication with their magical birds that can and fill find their way home from anyway.

…also the apartment block 100% has a craft beer bar in it so it also becomes known as the most interesting tavern in the entire continent. The craft beer owners, rather than be alarmed by the isekai, were practically vibrating with excitement at the chance to use magical potions in their drinks.

Cue another potions expert coming to visit and have on of the drinks “Yo, how are you enjoying our beer that can turn people blue?” “Wait, your beer can turn us blue?!?!?” “Uh, yeah? Don’t your magical potions do that?” “No?!?!?!? What the fuck have you people be PUTTING in these drinks?!?!?”

isekai about a nyc apartment block getting teleported into a fantasy realm, and how this group of people who previously have only had incidental contact with one another come together to build a vibrant community in their new circumstances. there's a season-long arc about introducing bagels and pizza to the fantasy world that gets into the details of sourcing ingredients, developing new technologies, and learning how to work with supernatural substitutions.

Yes, you read correctly - this is real fish leather. From the Baltic Sea - salmon, trout, pike-perch, and pike. But please know that no fish has sacrificed their lives for these belts. All the skins we use are byproducts of Estonian fishing industry.

Some photos from 2014 of the nymf production of ACADEMIA NUTS. (One from rehearsal. And another of the cast onstage on their costumes)

[unproduciblesmackdown]

a review about the 2009 nymf production of this show attributes a line unmistakably very close to this opening applebee's/snapple one to the role of skip, whose description (on stagerights.com) goes "Adam's Internet-obsessed younger brother. Must be charming and adorable, have a good voice, and be a great rapper." amidst song listings including "Skip Rap #1" #2, #3, & indeed "This Thing Called The Internet"

“The truest version of Goncharov is the film!” “The truest version of Goncharov is the novel!” 

Nope, the 2001 NYMF reading of Jim Steinman’s Goncharov musical is the best version and I will die on this hill and will never stop being sad that it never made it to Broadway for its planned 2003 opening. Truly this show had everything you could want out of a version of Goncharov

Howard McGillin’s Andrey and Drew Sarich’s Goncharov have multiple duets, one of which turns into a sensual tango

Idina Menzel as Sofia and Sherie Rene Scott as Katya having the most yearning ballad where they almost admit their love for each other 

The finale, Winter Comes To Naples, is one of the most beautifully tense ensemble pieces I’ve ever heard and still makes me cry. 

The fact that Steinman leaned into the 70s as inspiration for the music motif without going full jukebox musical

THE FUCKING CLOCK SOUNDS BUILT INTO THE SCORE

Legit, the only thing that’s disappointing about it is that the only version out there is a janky 2001 bootleg.

[empiriical]

every couple of months i remember my fav unknown musical exists (foreverman by brett boles, which only ever got a summerstock run at nymf in 2012) && i'm currently rotating it in my mind in b.accano context because it's literally about two alchemists who discover an immortality elixir, && it follows their struggle with eternal life.

some of the songs that really hit are... sons of adam (huge maiza energy as well as huey && elmer) maybe our deed could be well justified / biblical precedence all set aside / if we don't think of cheating the grave / just think of the people we'll save / sons of adam driven from eden / needed something great to believe in / humanity needs us / let's answer the call / and make up for adam's great fall / as sons of adam / there's no denying / we're growing older, slowly we're dying / so drink with me, brother / and reclaim our right / as sons of adam / we're brothers tonight no fate worse than life (there's big maiza energy here too) there is no fate worse than life / there is no fate worse than life / the centuries go sweeping by / and leave me in their wake / and though i know i'll never die because of one mistake / still i will wait / for there is no fate worse than life

the end of all things (it's giving huey tbh) it seemed a blessing to exist outside of time / young and strong and fearless / living always in my prime / i shaped the future using greater men than i / i watched them live and love and learn / and then i watched them die (but it's also giving gandor brothers, luck especially???) when the sun stops its course across the sky / when the mountains start to crumble / and the oceans have run dry / when the stars have all gone cold / and the birds no longer fly / when the winters will be long and never turn to springs / will i still be living at the end of all things?

i will take you (huemoni vibes...) meet me here tomorrow / and i will take you / we will travel far away / i will take you / somewhere we can see the stars / out where life is ours to share / i will take you there

ANYWAY it's soooo good && there are a few other great songs but these are the ones that really stand out to me.
