idk lotta doodles and stuff till i finish a bigger piece properly lol

mainly lotta Mimero stuff cuz i never talk about him here for somereason-

starting off with lil concepts i made for Mimero's and Panto's parents. Buskor and Actiona.

i dont have much idea for them now except that Actiona is a tailor .

also updated mimero's sprite a bit yippeee

ok so i GOTTA TALK ABOUT MIMERO. i wanna go with a route that his whole motivating in post SPM are like. he knows what he's doing but he's confused to why he's even doing it in a way?? like yes he wanna mess up the overthere and underwhere balance.

he did end up in the overthere . that's the thing he's like, ina sort of limbo but he still wanna cause havoc. but why is he even doing that? he likes chaos but. why? sure he misses his silly buddy but WHY? both of them know their feelings aren't genuine at all. so WHY. and YET he still goes with whatever he's doing anyways cuz whatever he's feeling is complicated af (complete opposite and parallel to rose's situation. Mimero doesn't give a shit much about Dimentio coming back or staying dead but on the same time it EATS HIM UP ALIVE cuz he's confused af with his own wants and motivations) like ig he has emotions, alot; but he doesn't know how to precess them .

and also he has a final boss form The serpent. he doesn't have a specific goal anymore . He's ALREADY messing up balance, he's reaching star haven and is using those wishes . Then what? What will he do? He doesn't know . He's not feeling anything about it . Kinda connecting with the fact that he had no previous records in his book aka being a nobody forever. But now he IS ONE. Just on an emotional level than a physical level. Basically he's a nobody emotionally but he's there physically . And even physically it's not really him anymore. It's whatever the serpent is

now uhhhh extra lil fact is that Mimero is terrified of lakes and water, for two reasons.

also here's many doodles idk idk figure out the lore or ask me questions until i properly finish the comic about him and Panto teeeheee

Day 14 - Castle

[gcballet]

Truly do not understand the appeal of big budget theatrical pantomime with celebrity casts and TV airing.

Panto is supposed to be a bit crap. It's only any good in amdram.

There's supposed to be exactly one experienced cast member who's playing either the villain or the dame and eats every scene

Peter Pan or Aladdin or Prince Charming or Dick Whittington is supposed to be played by the principal boy, and she should be confusingly stacked and wearing tights or lederhosen or something

The sweets they throw at the kids should always be out of a tub of Roses, no exceptions.

The sing-along while they swap the sets over must always be "Pack Up Your Troubles" or "12 Days of Christmas"

There should be a drawn out dance sequence performed by a group of tween girls who go to a local ballet school, only two of them are allowed to know the choreography (they have to be blasted with a fog machine the whole time)

The 'it's behind you' bit must be massively hindered by one member of the main cast who struggles with comic timing

One of the main cast has to be completely tonedeaf and very loud

The Good fairy character must always appear with the weird side of stage pyrotechnics which are incredibly unsafe and underwhelming

Mime x Nutty (SweetSilence) fankids (Mozzarella and Panto)

Mozzarella

Mozzarella is a green deer/squirrel hybrid with purple markings. She has a red lazy eye and candy-cane styled antlers. She wears pantomime make up and her hair is greenish black. She has patagia (from a flying squirrel) made of swiss cheese. She wears a mozzarella stick, moldy brie, fresh mozzarella, a slice of hole-y cheddar, a blue snood scarf, an off white sleeveless crop top, and blue pants. She is on the heavier side. Like her dad, Nutty, she is hyperactive and jittery. Unlike her parents, Mozzarella isn't addicted to candy or peanuts. She is addicted to cheese (hence her name). She can also flip out like Flippy, but not from PTSD in the war, but when she doesn't get her way. When flipped out, her eyes turn yellow and red and have a ring around them, and her clothes rip. She gains drippy mascara. She is spoiled, but selfless.

Panto

Panto is a purple deer/squirrel hybrid with green markings. She has longer buckteeth, like Toothy. She wears star tattoos and has purplish black hair in low pigtails. She wears a pink and orange jester costume with blue details. She chooses to be mute, like her dad, Mime. She is an acrobat and more laid back. She, her sister, and Cub attend daycare.

I love when that one kid in the audience is actively rooting for and trying to help the villain. Like yes. You go little buddy. You're the star to me.

My dear Ozians across the pond, HOW DID I NOT KNOW WIZARD OF OZ PANTOS WERE A THING??! I stumbled upon this wonderful pro shot of a 2019 Easter panto at the New Royal Theater, Lincoln on youtube!

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, pantomime, or ""panto"is a traditional British Christmas (or Easter) play that is often based on children's stories. Pantomimes are performed in theaters and village halls across the country, and it is a fun and important source of income for these theaters. Panto always features slapstick comedy, gender role reversals, audience participation, and singalongs to popular music, and looks like a thoroughly fun night out! I'd love to see one in person someday! #panto #wizardofozpanto #wizardofoz

Was helping out at a panto this weekand someone commented like "surprising that panto hasn't been cancelled yet what with cancel culture and all" and I had to explain that panto is drag, babe. The pantomime dame and the principle boy are drag performers. It's not likely to be 'canceled' by the liberals who are enacting this supposed 'cancel culture' because it's literally drag.

A Year in Review - Theatre Edition

2024 began with a fantastic new play by Micky Scott, ALIENS DO EXIST - part of a new writing commission and offering professional work to actors in Bucks from @unboundtheatre. The responses were phenomenal and truly showed what theatre can do.

Next followed a revival of FUNNY VOICES and the Regency Trilogy. Being able to reprise Joyce was an absolute privilege.

Performing with the General in CYCLONE LIVE was a challenge and a chance to brush up on my puppeteering and voice skills. As always, the team were wonderful and we had a lot of daft fun!

The Unbound Theatre 10th ANNIVERSARY SHOW was very special - a chance to celebrate a decade of Telling Great Stories, and personally a lovely opportunity to work with some old friends again.

Speaking of old friends, while not strictly theatre, recording with David Ault for EARWORM was an utter joy, as always.

And so to my beloved Professor. The walking play PARTNERS IN TIME was heartfelt and heartbreaking, with plenty of laughs along the streets of Aylesbury. FROM THE DEPTHS was a pilot for a new staged adaptation of one of the audio series. Panto was amazing - I’m forever grateful that I got to be part of the magic that was THE STORYTELLER.

This year also saw the loss of two of my mentors, which hit very hard. David Henson, my tutor from Central, and Malc Emms, a dear friend and colleague who I worked with for many years. Being asked to sing at David’s memorial alongside one of my best friends was an honour. They will both be missed very much, and if I have a resolution for 2025, it’s to tell people what they mean to me before it’s too late.

Thank you to everyone for your support this year. Next week sees me start directing duties on a new play, and I look forward to sharing some very exciting news about a collaboration with the Georgettes of Oxford very soon!

Wishing you peace and love, E x
