#also i love jojo's music choices a lot

[puppy-phum]

sorry i have to ramble some more about last twilight bc i cannot contain it. this is not anything meta, just some thoughts.

as an avid music lover and now a serious soundtrack enthusiast, i need to mention how much i adore the music choices of this show.

i am not sure who picks the final songs to be used and what criteria they use for it (is it p'aof? do they have some kind of library for songs they can pick from as many songs appear in several bls? or do they get free hands?), but the bg songs in last twilight that have caught my attention have been brilliant.

yes, sure, they use the instrumentals of their original songs. that's typical for bls and any shows really. but there are also other songs.

i like collecting instrumental songs to put on my playlist i use for writing, so good instrumentals always intrigue me. last twilight has now introduced me to two artists whose music feels very inspirational.

first one is francis wells whose song april will be cold was used in the scene where mork has flashbacks of his conversations with several ppl which then make him turn back and accept the caregiver job from day. i listened to several of the albums and these songs are very adventure game themed. very energetic, powerful, agile perhaps. a surprising choice. made me wonder where they found it (i am still leaning towards them having a library of songs they have free access to rather than someone actually knowing these artists).

another one is bonnie grace's song titled notorious. it was used in the scene where they show mork making his way through the market blindfolded as he tries to understand day's experience. once again, very adventure game, fantasy movie themed. pulls me even more outside the feeling of a "regular" bl. this show doesn't fit the category btw. idk if that category still exists as such but the boundaries of it have been pushed for a while now. i like it, it's what we need.

all this to say: i am very curious about these music choices and very grateful that last twilight is throwing new music my way. i will never say no to that.

(now just please release the ost song used in the trailer am desperate!!!)

[newnlovesjennie]

op hcs: what kind of music do they listen to?

luffy: 

he’s the kinda guy that doesn’t really like a certain artist, he just puts on an album or playlist and vibes to it

“ya know, the song that goes like BUM BUM DOO DA BUM” “luffy what”

favorite genre is for sure spanish music 

he got bad bunny on LOCK

and all other kinds of party music

nami:

this one is tricky but i feel she might be a pop music girly

like britney spears, ariana grande, etc

also gay pop (not jojo siwa, i mean chappel roan)

she just doesn’t seem like a music person to me idk maybe im tweaking

zoro:

its either traditional japanese music or rap there’s no in between

i know rap seems like such a obvious choice but if i envision zoro in a modern setting i see a gymrat that bumps travis scott future etc

but on the flip side he probably listens to a lot of classical or more relaxing music whenever he meditates

again, not someone that pegs me as a music person

sanji:

classical french music yasss

classical music in general, he’ll just be in the kitchen cooking up while humming some debussy (haha bussy)

may or may not listen to boybands on the low

do NOT ask him why he has a bts album on his shelf

usopp:

frank ocean tyler the creator asap rocky type guy FS

any kind of alt hip hop

he listens to a lot of it while in his workshop

may be a bit pretentious and gatekeepy

“is that a kendrick shirt? name ONE kendrick song besides damn!”

chopper:

he be bumping that baby shark that’s about it

franky:

he LOVES country music 

give him a banjo and that’s it strap in for 3 hours of carrie underwood breakup songs

totally the type of dad to blast country music windows down zero shame

secretly wishes he was a cowboy

robin:

listens to the cure nirvana joy division 

no surprises there (radiohead reference)

fan of grunge and goth music 

also enjoys music from all cultures and will pull up a random song nobody knows the language of on aux

What’s the worst cause of a bad translation in danganronpa? I just saw your posts about it and was wondering how it it was

I didn't answer this right away because I spent some time thinking on it.

If you want my honest opinion, I don't think there's necessarily one "worst" translation. To me, it's more of a series of small translation errors / willfully removing character quirks that add up overtime to the bigger picture.

However, there are some specific egregious examples. I highly suggest this article on DR1's translation, as it paints a clear picture for the rest of the series (which abide by similar translation errors/choices).

In said article, however, I think is the worst translation I can think of in Danganronpa off the top of my head.

This is pretty bad for several reasons. Firstly, the official TL completely flipped the meaning of Naegi's sentence. I've seen bad translations in Danganronpa, but to completely 180 the meaning of a sentence is pretty bad. Furthermore, I think a joke was lost here. Naegi claims he is not a "Stand User", which is a JoJo reference. This being changed to a generic "I'm not psychic" I think ruins the joke that Naegi, who claims to have no hobbies, is making a reference to a manga - something many consider reading to be a hobby.

Plus, considering this is your first introduction to the character, and this is your foundation for understanding them...yeah. Not good.

SDR2 has a similarly bad introduction for Hinata, though not quite as egregious.

Left is the official translation, right is my fan translation patch.

This is pretty bad considering this is the crux of Hinata's motivations as a character. He does not think the people who attend Hope's Peak are marvelous. He thinks Hope's Peak itself is amazing. That's the whole point of his story, after all. He idolizes Hope's Peak. Never in the game do we see him idolize the students themselves beyond a simple "Wow, you sure are skilled, I can see why you got in". In fact, he routinely is pretty judgemental of them.

There's other things here and there. Komaeda's love confession in his final free time event was botched, as well as Saionji and Koizumi's love confessions in Island Mode.

Mioda's talent was messed up, too. She is not the Ultimate Musician. She is the Ultimate K-On Club Member. This is a pretty Japanese thing, hence the change, but if it were me, I would have gone with "Ultimate Pop Rock Musician" because that's what K-On music basically is, in terms of English genres. This is why the screamo music joke falls flat in my opinion. Of course she likes/plays metal, she's the Ultimate Musician. Except it was supposed to be more shocking since you're told she makes upbeat pop rock music.

Danganronpa also has just...a lot of clunky-sounding dialogue. Maizono's freetime event about the crane is very painful to read, as it is littered with references to Japanese folk lore which is not handled well in English, making it sound very unnatural.

Plus, this line:

was changed. Usually, when given your multiple choice in freetime events, you're supposed to guess what the other character is referring to. Notably, that isn't the case here. You're simply supposed to guess which of these birds are the biggest.

In the Japanese version, Maizono says, "It appears often in Japanese folklore. You know, that bird lives for a thousand years, a tortoise ten thousand years..."

To which Naegi thinks, "She must be talking about..."

Maizono is using a Japanese proverb (a crane lives for a thousand years, a tortoise ten thousand years), which strangely even the wiki seems to miss and mistakenly attributes it to her referencing Urashima Tarō. It's basically her saying "fill in the blanks, you know how this saying goes"...but since that saying is not known among English players, this part is poorly reworked.

Similarly, Twogami's final freetime event was written oddly.

I get what's trying to be achieved here, but it still sounds...not great. The point of the scene is that Togami from DR1 uses "omae" when referring to people, which is a very masculine/rude way to say "you". Twogami drops the act in this sentence and uses "kimi", which is a much softer ways to say "you". Hinata acknowledges this, but since there's only one "you" in English, they tried to word it as best as they could. Personally, I would have just reworded the scene entirely to make Twogami's sentence much softer in general, and then have Hinata comment, "It's weird hearing you speak so politely. The Togami I know is constantly looking down on others."

So, when it comes to the official Danganronpa translation, you're basically contending with 1) a lot of mistranslations, 2) removal of nuances in speech and 3) a lot of clunky, poorly naturalized dialogue. As the article I linked pointed out, even in Japanese, Danganronpa isn't some masterpiece of writing, but undoubtedly a lot is lost from these decisions.

Keep in mind these are just the ones off the top of my head I found worth pointing out in this post. There's probably way worse ones I didn't even think of, since I don't have either the English or Japanese text line for line memorized.

IMO, the best Danganronpa game in terms of text is Another Episode, 100% only because nearly every line in that game is read aloud. I find that trials in Danganronpa typically have marginally less clunky-sounding dialogue in English, and that I believe is entirely due to the fact they have people actually reading this stuff out loud. They can catch if it sounds weird out loud and then change it. So Another Episode, which is basically entirely voice acted, has the most natural-sounding dialogue in the whole series.

V3 I know very little about as I am not a fan of that game...but from what I've seen/heard, it's not much better despite coming out quite some time after SDR2. Gokuhara's speech patterns were entirely rewritten in English to sound like Tarzan...I guess to match his design? If I had to make him speak like any of the existing characters, I'd say he's more in line with Sonia's English translation. Just strange all around.

[nnnn99999]

Finally getting to my thoughts on the heart killers episode 1 and honestly it was better than I expected. Maybe it's because I didn't have many expectations to begin with. As long as I have my beloved joongdunk on my screen together I am a happy woman. But this episode was so fun and interesting and I am so excited for what's to come. I have so much I want to talk about so I think I'm going to make separate posts about each of them. Yes I am writing 10 different essays at the same time just like I did with bbs and that is a good thing. It means I am excited about the show itself and not just the actors. It was more than an hour long episode (I love that it was so long) and I enjoyed every moment of it.

I love the pacing of this episode too. It's not rushed at all, yet it's jam packed and doesn't waste time on unnecessary things. Except the burger mukbangs by First. Why was there an asmr burger mukbang not once but twice in this episode? I mean I don't mind but the question remains. This was the one thing that totally threw me off guard. Again I am not upset about it at all but I can't stop thinking why this decision was made? Is it because everyone in that production team loves watching First eat? Actually, that is quite a reasonable speculation. Yes I dedicated an entire paragraph to First's mukbangs because I really can't stop thinking about it.

I am so so glad my beloved joongdunk got the opportunity to be part of a production like this. This is so different from their previous projects and I can already see that they got the chance to explore as actors in ways they couldn't before. And I love that for them. My joongdunk heart is happy and content.

Also have to mention I love firstkhao in this too. I may focus more on joongdunk because I am a hardcore joongdunk simp but I really do appreciate all the other people involved in this project as well. Everyone put a lot of love and effort into this show and I appreciate that.

I don't know how this series will turn out in the future. But I already know I am going to love it. It has everything I enjoy- a fun story, interesting characters and character dynamics, fun lighting choices that contribute to the storytelling, music that sets the tone of the scenes, my favorite kind of pacing, good actors, good production and most importantly my beloved joongdunk. Thank you so much Jojo for bringing this show to life. I am eagerly anticipating what's to come and I am having a blast along the way.

The fact that we are going to get most of the scenes from the trailer and the bts photos in the first 2 episodes already is so exciting to me as well. This means we have no idea what will happen after ep 3. And that is so fun and exciting. I love that they did that. It makes me anticipate what's to come even more. Jojo, I love you, I really do. This show of yours is right up my alley.

Fun fact about me that nobody asked for: I have not seen 10 things I hate about you. Which is actually pretty weird because I have seen most romcoms from that time period, some even less popular than this one. I don't know why or how I missed it. I also refuse to read Shakespeare for very petty reasons. So yeah, I really have no idea what to expect from thk. But that makes it extra fun for me.

GMMTV 2025 (in the order of my interests)

•Ticket to heaven: My highlight of the night indeed I had goosebumps watching the mock trailer. Geminifourth in and as a catholic orphan falling in love with an atheist bad boy and struggling to choose between love and faith. The production and dialogues of the mock trailer itself had me shook.

Thank god Aof is doing this, we’re in good hands

•Burnout Sundrome: I kinda jumped when I thought it would be DewGun but here comes Off again😭 They can’t help themselves alright I give up.

•My romance scammer: OhmFluke and JuniorMark as marriage scammers lmao. They wrote this script soon as the marriage bill got passed🤣 We love fresh new concepts so bring it on! This will be fun and angsty. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Ohm (back with another fluke lol) so I’m looking forward to it a lil

•Whale Store XoXo: Another one for MilkLove! with a new pair JuneMewnich!! Thank god they’re out of the uniforms now phew😮‍💨 this looks like a cute series

•Dare you to death: JoongDunk in a dark murder investigation series. I find it so funny when truth and dare games lead to murders. A good change of pace for the pair and ngl investigator Dunk is kinda😉

•Melody of secrets: Forcebook in horror?psychological drama? Again I’m not into them- and never was. Those who will watch it, have fun👍

•Wu: Skynani as supernatural soulmates. Seriously did they film this trailer yesterday itself? that did not tell us a thing💀 They’re still following the bromance line which pisses me off but ig ppl don’t care about it

•Love you teacher: PerthSanta but Santa reverts to 7 years old💀 Why. WHY would you do this??? The first few seconds of their chemistry was so nice but then infantilising Santa???? nah man just throw this out pls

•I love a lot of you: Nanon and his het show. Like quite literally the only one this time. The plot line🤡 Are they trying to remake Kill Me Heal Me? Anyways, I think this girl needs a psychiatrist instead of a lover to fix her multiple personality disorder

19/20 are queer shows!? One straight show to keep our dear Nanon employed🤣 this is shocking coming from gmm. Some of these bls are actually really appealing. Given how so many of the shows announced in 2024 are still pending, I don’t think we’ll get to see many of these till 2027💀 Specially the period dramas because the production cost will be huge. Overall I think we have a good yr ahead of us

[kookidough]

[kishibedefender]

Fuck it I'm giving Jojo Characters Kpop Groups.

Jonathan Joestar - EXO

Fan of the classics, here for the vibes. He probably enjoys the more laidback songs, less of a Tempo girlie and more of a Heart Attack girlie. Artificial Love sent him into shock tho.

Joseph Joestar - NCT U

This man thinks Taeyong is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Full stop. He heard Baggy Jeans and it became his whole personality. And he DEF plays it around Caesar because Caesar hates it.

Jotaro Kujo - no

Kakyoin stans TWICE tho

Josuke Higashikata - NewJeans

This man loves girl groups. I just KNOW IT. New Jeans is his favorite, but this man has Twice, ITZY, Lightsum, STAYC, all the girlies. He was first in line to buy the MISAMO release.

Giorno Giovanna - SHINee

Bias is Key. Biaswrecker Taemin. This man 100% gets down to Replay after mafia meetings. If he had a Spotify wrapped I guarantee you that his top 5 would be classical music and SHINee.

Jolyne Kujo - ATEEZ

As an ATINY myself, she's gay. We're gay. And she 100% stans Yeosang.

Also her favorite ATEEZ song is Cyberpunk.

Johnny Joestar - BTS

Diehard. DIEHARD ARMY. This man took one look at Kim Namjoon and went "perfect I'll take 14 of them" and when he heard Run? Oh shit was overrrr.

Josuke Higashikata (8) - PSY

The safe choice, the right choice, he can't remember a lot of things but man can remember that he wants some new face.

Jodio Joestar - TWICE

Dragona showed him. He biases Tzuyu and stole a lightstick from a kpop store.

[baura-bear]

Welcome to newsie’s big king rant!! *cracks knuckles* i apologise for spelling mistakes or grammar innacuracies

i’ll start with AKB but i’ll do it in three parts ranging how much knowledge i have on the subject

andrew keenan bolger was born on the 16th may 1985 in detroit. he has 2 older sisters, maggie and celia ( who won a tony award for “to kill a mockingbird”!) he’s married to scott bixby since 2018 and their relationship is so nice and wholesome it’s so cute.

HES 5’4. IM 5’5. it’s so funny to think he’s shorter than me but whatever 😭😭

his first broadway role was in the OBC of seussical as alternate Jojo in 2000-2001 of which he did ONE broadway show then got kicked coz he hit puberty LMFAO poor 15 year old andrew

he then went on to be robertson ay in mary poppins THEN went in a woekshop for newsies and papermill and broadway( fun fact i think he’s the only actor who stayed in the same role for the workshop, papermill then obc of newsies )

during newsies he got a lot of fans which honestly yeah real but in march 2013 he left newsies to begin rehersing for tuck everlasting which didn’t make it until 2016 bc there wasn’t a suitable theatre for a transfer to broadway yet ( another fun fact if it had stayed in the realm of 2013 sadie sink would have played winnie instead of sarah charles lewis )

then in 2017 he was in kris kringle the musical playing kris kringle and in 2021 he was in seven deadly sins the off broadway musical playing phillipe

in september ( not sure if going ahead due to sag aftra ) he’s gonna star in “dracula a comedy of terrors” which seems very fun!! he posted a rlly funny photo of him wearing vampire teeth

ok other things than theatre he’s done i’m so sorry gang

so in 1997 he was chip’s singing voice in that lovely enchanted christmas beauty and the beast spinoff which i watched ALL OF IT just to find he’s in ONE FUCKING SONG and he’s only in the credits ONCE

( however tim curry is in it and he’s a fat smash so 🤷🏻‍♀️ )

he was in this show called looking in 2014 don’t watch it if ur under 18 i’m fucking traumatised from it don’t curse yourself with that PLEASE GOD DONT SEARCH ANDREW KEENAN ON GIFS EITHER

he had like a miniseries called ‘submissions only’ which also performed at 54 below

he has a podcast called ‘that sounds right’ which is SO FUCKING FUNNY PLEASE GO LISTEN TO IT I LOVE IT SO MUCH

OH SHIT YEAH HE WAS ALSO IN ( these are all like regional theatre ?? )

high school musical as ryan

perez hilton saves the universe…😬 as a shit ton of different ppl

LITTLE SHOP AS SEYMOUR!!!!!

a really funny parody video called ‘sherlock the musical” it’s so funny bc my irl friend robin thinks he looks like martin freeman

OTHER THINGS I JUST LIKE ABOUT HIM

he’s not afraid to post whatever on his socials 💀 like i’ll be scrolling and that one pic of him licking the screen is there and i’m like 😀 ok andrew

hes really funny

hes honest and open about not being the best dancer which is so real ( so he showed up to newsies to audition and , in his own words , apparently the directors thought he was a good enough dancer to play a boy with a crutch BAHHAHA WHICH IS SO RELATABLE OH MY HOD )

i think that’s it!! please enjoy i’m soo tired i’ll do some more ranting soon :3

thank you for all the knowledge! fun fact: I saw Celia perform in TKAM (very good) and my grandma used to baby sit Jeff Daniels' (Atticus) cousin because they grew up in the same town

also the note about his lack of dancing skills reminded me of his old youtube videos and one video he was talking about an audition he botched (there was basketball choreo he was supposed to learn) and instead, because he didn't know what to do, he just put the basketball in his shirt and pretended to be pregnant??? hey directors like a strong acting choice and he delivered.

[widowsliver]

okay so, not music related (if u twist it, it can be tho) but. you mentioned media and that so, top 5 films? my fav question to ask anyone as a (almost) film student

Finally found the time to answer this as I’m on a 3 hour train ride (willing myself to not make a 1975 reference right now) so here ya go!! thank you for your patience :)

1. Knives Out (Dir. Rian Johnson)

my favourite genre of typically everything will always be a good classic murder mystery (I am a massive agatha christie fan), I love anything that really makes you think and look out for stuff whilst you’re watching it and gets your heart pumping, so this is why this will always be my favourite film because of how masterfully it was developed. everything down to the angles chosen by rian to literally everything in the film (I’ve watched the videos where he breaks down scenes on YouTube so many times) is just perfect and makes so much sense — something that gets lost sometimes (in my opinion) in mysteries. although the sequel isn’t on my top 5 list, I genuinely think it was one of the strongest second instalments to any franchise and I throughly enjoyed it.

2. Red Eye (Dir. Wes Craven)

similar reason to knives out, I love the thrill of the film because of the confined space, which initially would make the audience think there wouldn’t be much you could use and get stuck, but I don’t think this was an issue in the film at all. my mate initially chucked this on without telling us anything about the film (besides cillian murphy being in it, which was enough to convince me) so imagine the surprise on my face when I realised this wasn’t a cute corny romcom. the ending fight sequence in the house was also fucking amazing and quickly shot to my top 5 list immediately after watching it. I also fancy the duck out of rachel mcadams so this was a bisexual dream.

3. Moulin Rouge! (Dir. Baz Luhrmann)

I just love love. I love love love love. the best love story to ever be told in such a extravagant way with an hilarious cast. this is also my favourite stage musical of all time and the way they adapted it was brilliant. really does pull the story together amazingly and teaches the audience a lot through it’s hard hitting ending — I cry every time, and despite my love for satine I don’t think I’d love this film as much if it didn’t end the way that it does.

4. JoJo Rabbit (Dir. Taika Waititi)

this is also another film that made me bawl so much when I saw it in the cinema, the way that it made me feel emotionally pulled on my heartstrings like no other film I had seen before, especially with the masterful shot of rosie’s shoes. that’s what got me (and I’m pretty sure what got everyone). to be on my top 5 list, a film either has to emotionally destroy me which makes me experience emotions I never thought I had, or blow my mind. as you can see every film on this list at least meets one of those factors.

5. Now You See Me (Dir. Louis Leterrier)

finally, the awesome film that is now you see me. I admittedly am quite obsessed with jessie eisenburg in this film (unashamed) and I feel bad for my friends who saw me whilst I was at my peak obsession with this film. but all the characters / cast compliment each other really well, and either I’m just insanely easily impressed (all of my friends will definitely agree with me on this) or the ending was just mind blowing. maybe a mixture of both? either way, I also think this film has one of the greatest scores of all time. truly is a masterpiece in every sense of the word!

I will mention the most recent film I watched in the cinema was Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Pt. 1 and I was absolutely blown away by it. some excellent directing and choice of shots, costumes etc. as a media student genuinely did feel that everything (down to the last detail) was carefully thought of. also so excited for barbenhiemer I will be watching them both on the same date as a double bill — it’s the law.

[the-casbah-way]

bestie I love jcs but i haven't seen 2000, is it good? 🥺

OMG YES please watch it it’s my favourite production ever

ok to be fair a lot of fans of the 70s film don’t like it as much because it’s super different. in fact the 2000 version in general is really hit and miss for a lot of people but it’s my favourite by far

annas and pilate in this production are my favourites of all time, they are absolutely perfect. caiaphas is also insanely good

rik mayall as herod was such a based choice, he’s definitely not a singer and you can absolutely tell but he really nails the balance between silly and scary/deranged

jesus and mary magdalene aren’t my favourite but they still do a decent job

judas makes some insanely odd vocal choices that i do not enjoy but what he lacks in vocal technique he more than makes up for in homoeroticism

in general this production is just super gay, every character looks like they just walked out of a 90s gay bar

there is a disciple with frosted tips but this only enhanced my experience personally

and i will round off by saying that fred johanson’s pilate is one of my favourite musical theatre performances of all time, his tone and facial expressions are absolutely perfect and while some people think he was over the top i personally feel that in a fuckin rock opera about jesus there is no such thing. i don’t know why they made him look like a jojo character / bdsm leather daddy but i adore him

in short pls watch it (and tell me what you think after because i could talk about it forever)

[auditionsuggestions]

Show Breakdowns - Moulin Rouge!

This one should be fun! The tricky thing with MR is that they specifically ask for non-musical theatre songs (Hadestown does this, too). My challenge for myself for this breakdown was trying to stay away from the pop songs already featured in the show. Some of the songs repeat since they can fit a few different characters.

Unfortunately I can't seem to find actual notes for the ranges (but given they changed keys for all of Christian's stuff when they brought in Derek, I don't think it's too important).

Dance Requirement: Strong mover at the very least, ideally a dancer

Range: Mezzo belt (Bottom note is about an F#3)

Sexy and confident on the outside, Satine wants nothing more than to be free of her life in the Moulin Rouge to be a real actress. She's both strong and vulnerable with a decisive pragmatic streak.

Suggested Songs: Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson, Leave by Jojo, A Million Reasons by Lady Gaga, Fighter by Christina Aguilera, Bang Bang by Ariana Grande & Jessie J, ft. Nicki Minaj, Since U Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson, Big Girls Don’t Cry by Fergie, Trouble by P!nk, Who Knew by P!nk, Circus by Britney Spears, Shadows of the Night by Pat Benatar

Christian

Playing age: Mid 20s-Early 30s

Leading Role. Star Vehicle

Dance Requirement: Some dance

Range: Tenor (or Baritenor)

A true idealist, Christian is a bit naive. More or less a male ingenue at the start. He believes love can and will conquer any obstacle and that art is the true meaning of being human. As the newcomer character, he is also the main cipher for the audience.

Suggested Songs: DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love by Usher, Mr. Brightside by The Killers, You Give Love A Bad Name by Bon Jovi, I Write Sins Not Tragedies by Panic! At the Disco, Livin’ La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin, Attention by Charlie Puth, The Other Side by Jason Derulo, Tearin’ Up My Heart by NSYNC

The Duke of Monroth

Playing age: 30s-early 40s

Supporting Role

Dance Requirement: Mover

Range: Tenor w/ a strong lower extension or high Baritone

Darkly charming and seductive, with a violent temper, The Duke is the other third of the iconic love triangle in Moulin Rouge. However, rather than the sniveling man-child of the movie, he's a viable, though dangerous, choice for Satine. He knows what he wants and will not take no for an answer.

Suggested Songs: Everybody (Backstreet’s Back) by the Backstreet Boys, Paralyzer by Finger Eleven, Tonight I’m Lovin’ You by Enrique Iglesias, Bad Guy by Billie Eilish

Santiago

Playing age: 20s-30s

Supporting Role

Dance Requirement: Strong dancer with partnering skills

Range: Baritone with a gruff, scratchy color. Lots of false fold work.

Santiago is the narcoleptic Argentinian, the greatest tango dancer in either Spain or Argentina, and "also the biggest gigolo." Suave, and just a touch silly. He's the choreographer of the show within a show. He and Toulouse take an immediate shine to Christian.

Suggested Songs: Smooth by Santana, Bailando by Enrique Iglesias, Hips Don’t Lie by Shakira, Livin’ La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin, Maneater by Nelly Furtado, Rock Your Body by Justin       Timberlake

Toulouse Lautrec

Playing age: Mid 30s-mid 40s

Supporting Role

Dance Requirement: Some movement

Range: Baritone

The great painter, Toulouse is another of the Bohemians. He grew up with Satine (or at least has known her since before her time at the Moulin Rouge). A little world weary, he still believes in the ideals of Freedom, Beauty, Truth, and Love.

Suggested Songs: 24 Karat Magic by Bruno Mars, Somebody to Love by Queen, The One that Got Away by Katy Perry, A Million Reasons by Lady Gaga, DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love by Usher

Harold Zidler

Playing Age: Mid 40s-mid 50s

Supporting Role

Dance Requirement: Strong Mover

Range: Baritone

The MC/Ring Master of the Moulin Rouge. He is flamboyant and fun, though very morally gray. Everything he does is for the MR and he will do anything to keep it running.

Suggested Songs: Circus by Britney Spears, Mambo No. 5 by Lou Bega, Bang Bang by Ariana Grande & Jessie J, ft. Nicki Minaj, Nothin’ But a Good Time by Poison, Tik Tok by Kesha

Nini Legs-in-the-Air/The Lady Ms

Playing Ages: Mid 20s-Early 40s

Supporting Roles

Dance Requirement: Strong Dancers

Range: Alto, Mezzo, or Soprano

Nini is another dancer at the Moulin Rouge, though jealous of Satine, she's deeply loyal to all the girls. The other Lady M characters include Baby Doll, Arabia, and La Chocolat. These characters also serve as a bit of a Greek Chorus, and ensemble members. These Four: Nini, Baby Doll, Arabia, and La Chocolat sing Lady Marmalade to open the show. Typically Baby Doll is cast with an amab actor though the character is femme presenting and La Chocolat is cast with a Black actor.

Suggested Songs: Bang Bang by Ariana Grande &  Jessie J, ft. Nicki Minaj, Maneater by Nelly Furtado, U + Ur Hand by P!nk, Genie in a Bottle by Christina Aguilera, He Said She Said by Ashely Tisdale, When I Grow Up by the Pussycat Dolls, S&M by Rhianna, I Wanna Be Bad by Willa Ford, Kings and Queens by Ava Max

[daveyfvckingjacobs]

okay pack and get text to speech to read these

i’m listening to taylor swifts 1989 as i write so GOODFUCKINGLUCK

ok so i was drawing socks and crutchie being the devious little bastards they are then came up with some fun headcanons for the socks boy :3 socks is my oc so he’s obviously canon but WHATEVERRRGGGEG

you said this technically but socks finds fucking FUEL for crutchie’s slingshot he 100% collects like pebbles and rocks and shit for crutchies slingshot

he also attempts to guide crutchie in who he should hit ( 90% of the time he misses and hits someone they both actually like )

when the strike starts socks is actually shocked that everyone’s so passionate. he’s never seen some of the kid’s faces light up like that before until they hear jack speak so openly about the struggles of the poverty

when crutchie gets taken to the refuge , socks tries fucking everything to ALSO get into the refuge but Snyder has a gaydar and just ignores him knowing socks would probably plan an epic escape bru

other newsies socks is close with other than crutchie bc i need to talk about them too!!: splasher, jojo, mike and ike but he can’t tell them apart 90% of the time, romeo and our boy race ofc

he quite literally has to find other irish newsies to translate for him sometimes because nobody understands him ( anyone else with irish newsies ocs ✊ )

socks actually loves reading and he saves enough money one day to buy a copy of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and he reads it every night in the lodging house when he can’t sleep ( inspired by me ofc. i love that fucking book

other newsies headcanons i have in general

davey is a pro at cards. idk why. he just gives that vibe??

jack gets very frustrated that davey is better than him at cards

katherine has to intervene during their games of cards

ok i think this one is a general consensus but jack 🤝 crytchie 🤝 race are brothers/related in SOME WAY

in modern les is one of those kids who has a minecraft shirt and matching shorts, backpack, hoodie, and lunch box and drinks bottle and nobody questions it

i think that’s it plz consult if you want more i’m so bored it’s so cold in the mountains of wales

I have packed!! it’s quite literally all tshirtsies, newsies merch or clothes a newsie would wear but I did it!! now hcs!!

also 10/10 music taste anyways

these are all so cute I cannot

ALSO I HAVE FOUND A HITCH IN OUR ‘crutchie can’t understand the irish’ JOKE: HES EXPLICITLY IRIHS IN HARD PROMISES AND ITS SO UPSETTING NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT

I did frankenstein for my a level english lit, didn’t actually finish it, drove my teacher mad by being an annoying prick, wrote delancey instead of de lacy in the exam and loved every second good book choice

davey thinks out cards a lot more than the others, and it means he wins way more hands than anyone expects. he’s also way too good at bluffing for no reason whatsoever it’s a little alarming. autism straight face™️

Phantom Blood Musical M3 ("Invasion" Lyrics Rough Translation)

I've roughly translated the Phantom Blood Musical to English for myself, so I decided to post some of my translations for the songs here. Do keep in mind that my Japanese is... not very advanced and a lot of this is done through google translate and a dictionary. I do think I have the general meaning for the lyrics translated, but it's possible I made some errors here and there. Also, spoiler warning if you've never watched the musical!

Feel free to correct me on any of the lyrics or ask questions!

(TN: I kind of gave up on the Speedwagon rap portion for this specific song and what the servants were singing in the background. There were also some things that I'll put a "(?)" if I'm not very confident in the translation)

[George]

So, you've come. JoJo. Dio.

Listen well... we are... noblemen of high esteem

Becoming true gentlemen is the life mission we strive for

In order to accomplish this, you must continue to learn all of the essential skills (?)

[Servants]

So that you'll never lose!

[George & (Servants)]

(Under the Goddess of Love!)

You'll study literature as a Joestar under the Goddess of Love (?)

[Servants]

There's trouble, Master Joestar!

[George]

So why is it that you—!

JoJo!

You've made the same mistake again

This is—

—the sixth time!

Dio has perfect marks across the board!

[Dio]

I enjoy reading books, so something like this is simple enough

[Jonathan]

But I haven't even learned this at school yet!

[George]

Listen well... we are... noblemen of high esteem

To become true gentlemen, it's not enough to just study

Slouching is unsightly! (?)

One must always stay beautiful

[Servants]

Don't ever forget!

[George & (Servants)]

(Under the Goddess of Love!)

To be loved as a Joestar, under the Goddess of Love

[George]

So why is it that you—!

JoJo!

You have the gall to call yourself a gentleman?

Look at Dio's graceful movements!

His manners are flawless!

Take away JoJo's tableware at once! He will be going without dinner!

You could learn from Dio's example

I'm ashamed of myself… perhaps I've been spoiling you too much

[Jonathan]

Oh no...

[Dio]

My mother was the one who taught me

She would always tell me to keep my posture straight

[George]

Listen well... we are... noblemen of high esteem

To find the correct answer in philosophy

We must always ask questions in our hearts…

(TN: This part is mostly spoken, but I'll include it because it provides important context, and the song isn't over yet)

[George]

Here in England, we have a legend of two knights

On one fateful day, their master was taken prisoner by their enemy

The enemy feared the two powerful knights, so they struck a deal with them

"If you offer yourselves for execution instead, I shall guarantee your master's life"

Now, here is a question for the two of you

[Jonathan & Dio]

Right!

[George]

The two knights who sacrificed themselves to save their master were taken prisoner

What were they looking at through the bars of their prison?

Was it the mud lying in front of them?

Or was it the stars shining above them?

Which do you think it was?

[Jonathan]

The stars... or the mud...

[Dio]

I... think they were looking at the mud

[George]

What makes you say that?

[Dio]

In the end, they had no choice but to die for their master

Once you're dead, there's nothing more you can do

That's why I think they hoped to live and do something, no matter how hard they tried (?)

[Jonathan]

I... think they were looking up at the stars

They lived up to their honor

The names of these two knights would go down in history!

[Dio]

And then what?

[Jonathan]

And then...

They valued how they lived, how they were, and what was important!

[Dio]

In the end…

They never got anything for themselves

They were filled with regret… helplessness…

All they could see was the mud

They're trying to teach us a lesson on what we should do with our lives!

[Jonathan]

They stood proud until the end!

They were looking at the stars!

I believe that they were trying to teach us how to live!

[Dio]

Listen to me!

You're a nobleman. You have it all…

You live by taking from others!

In that case, shouldn't you be thinking about what you're going to do in your lifetime to fulfill that responsibility!?

[Jonathan]

I—

[George]

That's enough, you two

There's no right answer to this question

Listen well…

People all live in this prison called fate, where they reach out their hands…

Whether you see the stars or the mud, either one can be called righteous

[Speedwagon]

(rapping)

This is sports

(rapping)

(rapping)

It's exactly like a religion

(rapping)

(rapping)

The winner will become the hero!

Who will decide to become the king?

(rapping)

Come on out, today's fighters!

TW: 1x04 "Masters of War"

Disclaimer: It goes without saying, if you don’t like, don’t read. And as I always say, criticism of a show does not equate to criticism of actors (or executive producers) as people so if you choose to continue, please leave all stanage (in particular, AA baggage) at the door.

Written by: Julia Cooperman

Directed by: John T. Kretchmer

Rating: 4.5/10

Pros: Dean sounded like Dean; Bianca as Millie; Carlos in his Navy uniform and his overall presence in this episode's narrative; PTSD was given more appropriate handling than in the pilot; all of the main actors seem more settled into their roles; good music choice, costuming, and set dec - it's beginning to look a lot like the 70's; some of the parallels set up

Cons: some of the dialogue - soldier boy needs to stop, seriously; POC gets shoved in as the sidekick again during a "heroic" moment; this god character and John being the "chosen one" story line wasn't all that believable

What’s with the would-be comic book Samurai wannabe with a glowing...sword?

Dean voiceover: “Fighting the battle between good and evil isn’t easy. Especially when the first monster you have to face is the one inside yourself.” - sounds a lot more like Dean

…and we get our first gratuitous shirtless guy scene 

The fight choreography for this sparring scene was better than it’s been in previous episodes

“Am I interrupting whatever hetero mating ritual this is?” - it’s official, Carlos is definitely my favorite

I have to say there was a little more chemistry between John and Mary in this sparring scene - it felt like Meg wasn’t trying that hard and she was relaxed and enjoying the scene; same with Drake

Ooooh, Carlos was in the Navy, nice

Another “soldier boy” *cue eye roll* - at least this time the way Meg played the line was a little more natural

More Maggie mention - I’m curious to the full story on this and why it affects Mary so much - I get that it’s her cousin, she was killed on a hunt, and that Mary feels responsible but what exactly happened?

This PTSD episode that John is having is way more realistic than the one they brought on in the pilot so I’m glad they treated this topic with more care

Okay so it’s not a samurai but an old Roman soldier with a…mace-looking weapon? - now appearing to John as well, it’s obviously going after veterans suffering PTSD as its target - something war related?

Drake’s acting in this scene is alright but also a bit forced especially with the hand shaking

Relevant line: “Talk is cheap, kiddo. It’s our actions that matter most.”

Carlos in his Navy uniform = 👌🔥🔥

Ngl got a bit of a once-over appreciation from Millie in this scene, not that I can blamer her lol - Carlos’ line capped it perfectly

I love Bianca as Millie btw

Oooo Carlos turning on the charm

Okay so they’re keeping the Mary hair, good

Oh okay so the reporter guy is the one the wife talked to and the guy Mary was at the movies with previously, nice

“All across the country” dun dun dun

I have to say I’m glad to see Carlos and John working together - I get that this show is supposedly about showing John and Mary’s backstory but I like when we get to see them working with other characters, too

Somehow I get the vibe that this monster poses as a patient in the groups, not the doctors - I could be wrong but that’s just the vibe I get

Jojo nailed this scene - very nicely done

“My friend died and all I got was a lousy scar” - I’m sorry, does this line not have “this happened and all I got was this lousy T-shirt” vibes? You guys are killing me with this dialogue sometimes

Hmm, okay maybe it is something to do with the doctor, like something attached to him or something and when he gets threatened/shouted at, boom, it kills that person

This is the most Mary has looked like Mary since the show started

Welp, John’s now next on the list - guaranteed; though I have to say Drake nailed that scene I think

Yes, Carlos, take charge

Ooo lava lamp! Love it! BRING ON ALL OF THE LAVA LAMPS (I love those things)

Oof that wallpaper is terrible, however completely on cue with the time period we're in so nicely done, set dec

I do like the parallel of both Mary/Latika and John/Carlos dealing with the past and both Latika and Carlos being the ones to initiate John/Mary into doing so

Uh oh…Carlos, run!

The burning cherries of the cigarettes image - nice!!!! Now that's a great shot!

Oh man, here we go - so does this god feed on PTSD episodes?

Oh he uses the PTSD episodes to get the guys, got it

Relevant line: “You put him in a dangerous situation with an enemy, and he is going to run straight towards that enemy every single time.” - relevant because this feels on brand for John’s later post-loss iteration as well as hunting in SPN; though this has me wondering why Millie is so chill with John hunting knowing this about him, just sayin'

Oh…fuck…

I’m sorry, but this is supposed to be some big scary god? It looks like a guy on his way to a costume party after browsing the clearance rack at Party City. Or he’s on his way to audition for one of the villains of the original Power Rangers TV series, not realizing the show ended years ago. And what is with that voice???

Fucking knew it! Of course it was Jimmy!

Oh now the gods are stepping in to help with the Akrida? And they’re relying on this kid to be the one to stop them? Especially when the hunters “are too weak to stop them”? Not even Mary? Really? What the… This was such a good episode up until this moment

And yet again, we have John being the “hero” with Carlos being the “sidekick” - sigh - I get that this show is called The Winchesters and where it’s supposed to lead but come on, man

Bianca seriously is perfect in this role

Well at least they’re being realistic with John losing to a god

Nice, Millie!

“I was right. You are just like me.” “No.” - John beats him bloody but yeah he’s not like him at all, he's such a hero

Yes, Carlos, you should be concerned

So basically, John is the chosen one to go against the Akrida? - S I G H

“Just John? Why?” exactly, Latika, exactly!!

I’m glad the dr said that to Carlos - to me, that was more important than being the supposed god-hand-picked weapon against the Akrida

Nice to see this group’s closeness

Awww Carlos extending a hand to John - loved this scene and I think both Drake and Jojo nailed it

Nice song choice! There we go, we’re starting to settle into the actual time period

I’m glad Carlos went back to group (and John’s empty chair is very loud) - I think showing that was very important not only for Carlos' story but also as a message

Powerful image of Millie holding onto John in the tub

Episode theme: dealing with the monsters you carry/demons inside yourself

Chemistry: John and Mary; Carlos and Latika; John and Millie; Millie and Carlos; Mary and Latika; Millie, Mary, and Latika; Carlos, Latika, and Mary

Monster: can this really be considered a monster? Not scary at all, but kind of makes sense with the story told this episode - I just want to know why some random god is more worried about the Akrida than any Hell or Heaven factions, just a thought

Ending Thoughts: this episode was probably their best one yet, it felt like they are slowly starting to turn a corner, they just need to make some more tweaks. For once this felt like the reboot it is, not completely relying on SPN but gleaning enough from it to tell its own story.

[nebul-anna]

You know what, heck it. Most of my AUs (that happened thanks to brainwaves between me and Kiwi) are Ace Attorney and based on pre-existing media interacting with each other (mostly because I wanna put my Canon/OC ships in fun/not fun situations), but I will come up with fun names for ones I can remember

Barista/Artist "Coffee Shop" AU aka "the sugary, sweetest, gayest meet cute ever with the tiniest hint of something amiss"

Heroes vs. Villains AU aka "Everyone is now an undercover hero or secretly part of a villain syndicate but you don't get to opt out and there's incredibly sweet gay fluff, tension, and hurt/comfort"

Supernatural Creatures AU aka "everyone has a different mythical being/creature form and we got a lot of stuff involving wings and intimate molting because I said so and need the fluff"

Greatest Showman AU aka "I really wanted found family and also my OC fits perfectly into this role, I'm also using the music as inspiration for my other Big Project"

Little Mermaid AU aka "what if this was gay and cute and cheesy af but also the person in the Triton role is Evil this time"

Hunchback of Notre Dame AU aka "I was craving a forbidden gay romance in this setting mainly. But I also love this movie with all my heart"

Phantom of the Opera AU aka "what if the Phantom role had a kinder heart and the Raoul role was Actually Evil"

Anastasia AU aka "what if I tied my JoJo sona's desire to learn about her lineage with a movie that's Very Similar. Also she fits Anya's character perfectly and that dynamic is just her and Polnareff"

Miscellaneous Layton Prequel AUs that are basically just "what if this character was here in this game to tie up some loose ends from the previous game. Would that be fucked up or what"

MR:AA, aka "You know, what if I just wrote my own Ace Attorney game to combat some Bad Writing Choices in a game I love despite those writing choices" *proceeds to let it rot my brain and consume me for almost 4 years on and off* "I'M IN TOO DEEP NOW I MUST CONTINUE OR KEEP THESE THOUGHTS TO MYSELF"

Other AUs that mostly go like "Okay what if my OC was here for Important Canon Event and how would they react"

i love being an au maker that gives them silly little names because its like im flipping through my library of aus in my head to fall asleep to thinking abt and running my finger lovingly over the spines except it's like

the lorax1984 au

forced primacy au

ennui syndrome au

The Mildly Embarrassing One

heehoo tentacles

what if Bad Time

[redacted]

what if ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) was wholesome actually

among many more

[veeveex3]

Songs that the Twisted Wonderland students would sing at Karaoke

Tags: crack, suggestive (?) (more like in a jokey way + some of the songs are mature / explicit), my uncreative ass song choices (I'm sorry lol)

AN: i just thought this would be funny and a nice break from the longer fics lol

Heartslabyul

Riddle:

First Love / Late Spring by Mitski

mainly due to that one part of the song (hopefully you know which one) and also because he just thinks the song hits a little too close to home

might cry a little and / or scream the lyrics

his form of therapy

Ace:

Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley

he thinks he so funny that he just laughs half the time

doesn't even finish the song

no one laughs btw

deuce boos at him off the nonexistent stage

has one of those cane things too to drag him off

Duece:

Balls in your Jaws slowed + reverbed

this was not of his own choice

was gonna genuinely pick a song he liked but looked away from the little tablet thingy for a second and ace picked this instead

tries so hard not to throw the mic at him he's so embarrassed

Cater:

CPR by Cupcakke

mainly for shits and giggles

probably genuinely likes Cupcakke so he tries

probably laughs mainly cuz everyone is laughing though

Trey:

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da by The Beatles

british (affectionate)

yeah I feel like trey's the type of guy to listen to older music

also seems like the type to be a nice singer

idia says something along the lines of "OMG IS THAT A JOJO'S REFERENCE??? POGGERS" when the title shows up

Savanaclaw

Leona:

As The World Caves In by Matt Maltese

ruggie forced him to do karaoke there's no way this man would do this of his free will /hj

he just picks this up at random

a good singer if he tries

sadly he doesn't but he's still nice to listen to

Ruggie:

Industry Baby Sus Remix

i just remembered that one time my friend showed me this and I thought ruggie would sing this as a joke

another one who thinks he's funny but doesn't get boo'd off

Jack:

We Will Rock You by Queen

another one who i feel like listens to older music

also i think this song sorta fits him

tries not to show how happy he is when everyone does the stomp stomp clap thing

Octavinelle

Azul:

Jiggle Jiggle by Duke & Jones and Louis Theroux

half ironically and half unironically

probably another one who didn't really wanna come but the tweels forced him to sing a song so he said "fuck it" and picked this mainly as a joke

probably sits down immediately after and starts doing work nerd lmao

Jade:

Camel by Camel by Sandy Marton

floyd probably picked this for him to see who would react and to laugh at them

another good singer so he just has fun while floyd's giggling in his seat

Floyd:

the home depot song

that's it

Scarabia

Kalim:

Levitating by Dua Lipa

idk this was just the first thing that popped in my mind

probably because the songs so upbeat and bubbly to me so it fits him

definitely gets other people to sing along (ESPECIALLY jamil)

also the supportive friend who hyped you up when you sing :>

Jamil:

Blinding Lights by The Weeknd

yet another one who was forced to be here

and another one who chose a song randomy

and another one who would be a great singer if he tried

would give more energy than leona though cuz he knows he can sing

probably makes that smug face after if people like it

Pomfiore

Vil:

Boyfriend by Dove Cameron

i don't really know much about vil's character other than that he's insecure and flashy (i mean this in the nicest way possible btw!)

so i hope this song fits??

yeah, but is probably moves around and dances while he sings

gives a whole ass performance

Rook:

Ave Maria by Franz Schubert

puts his entire heart and soul into this

trying way too damn hard for karaoke

doesn't really move as much as vil but still just seems extra, y'know

gives a little wink at the end

probably blows a kiss too dhsjsjsjsk

Epel

Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver

this is an act of defiance against vil

also probably one of the only few songs he knows well enough to sing

probably coughs at lot since he's trying to make himself sound deeper

same

Ignihyde

Idia:

Hikaru nara from Your Lie in April

fucking weeb lmao

now that I got that out of the way, idia only has two moods when he sings

mutters the words or screams the lyrics

if he sang normally, he'd sound really nice

Ortho:

The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku by Hatsune Miku

idia asks if ortho could sing this cuz he physically could

honestly, ortho would be happy singing anything

he's just here for a fun time, y'know

Diasomnia

Malleus:

Two Trucks by Lemon Demon

lilia said that if he sang this, people would enjoy it

sorta stiff cuz he's embarrassed but he's trying his best, alright

leona is losing his shit though someone needs to calm him down

Lilia:

Fingers In His Ass by Sans Undertale and Nagito Komaeda

grandpa's just trying to have fun, ok?

another one who encourages people to sing along but everyone is either laughing, complaining, or trying to calm everyone else down

Sebek:

Electric Love by Børns

let's just get it out of the way he is a bit too loud

not like, screaming loud but just like, a bit too loud

another one who tries too hard

immediately tries to get malleus' approval afterwards

he's fine with anyone praising him though but he'll never admit it

Silver:

rises the moon by Liana Flores

i also don't really know silver's character that much either other than that he's sleepy and that lilia adopted him

so yeah, probably keeps the tablet away from him at all costs

i mainly picked a low energy song that i think fits his voice and energy, y'know

Ramshackle

Grim:

MOOO! by Doja Cat

i just thought this would be funny

that's literally it
