I was actually supposed how well Sam can sing. I knew he's always had strony lungs (the man can scream lol) but I had no idea he could belt a note like that. Was he always this talented or is AMC paying for those singing lessons? The funny thing is, the song looks like it's very easy to sing but is actually not (yes I tried) and he makes it looks effortless. How rare it is that we've got the two leads of the show that are not just brilliant actors but also excellent singers ( I know Sam doesn't consider himself a singer but he sure sounds like one). We are so lucky.

He's done musical theatre before, so he's always been able to sing, but he's also been pretty open across press that the production's had him in singing lessons (as well as French, Italian and piano lessons) since he was cast, so I think he's probably significantly improved over the last three years. He sang a little bit in the Australian tv-show Bloom and wasn't bad but wasn't great either, but from memory (I haven't watched the show since it aired here) it was relevant to the character that he be kinda mid?

Amazing that you tried to sing it, anon! I cannot carry a tune, haha, so it's interesting to know it's a hard one to sing! What really got me was how much it really sounds like Lestat singing, as opposed to Sam necessarily? Like, I always imagine singing in-character must use a very specific part of an actor's brain, and to do it not just in-character but with an accent that isn't your own, is wild to me.

turns out that an Etsy search for "erhu" yields many results which are not in fact anything like an erhu!

Continued from (x) "You are not afraid to make a fair share of contrasting assumptions regarding my history." Tristan listened to her tale with crystalline interest. "Good. Deduction is best suited for souls gifted in instinct. And in a way you are perfectly right. My human life was informed of its meaning to the point of suffocation at times. Nevertheless, by the moment I found myself in a similar place to where you stand, the uncertainty of eternity unfolding before my eyes in the awakening of what you could call my own brand of resurrection, there was nothing left. No trace of birthright or sanctuary. My own spirit often betrayed me." His gaze navigated back to Gia's hand and its refusal to let her play. "In maddening hours I experienced the frenetic need to see my own blood spilled. Not in the hunt for self-punishment but the desperate, blind desire to recover myself. My identity had been tainted by the one who guided me there and each of my days I felt both poisoned and shattered." He spoke in candid aloofness. As if retelling someone else's memories. There was no sign of the smallest weakness in the admission. If anything, he appeared distantly amused or even proud by their result. "If your judgement is correct, if I'm indeed important, it isn't because it was delivered to me with joyous ease. The universe remained predictably and profoundly indifferent to my ordeal. One single person I cared about. And for reasons far too elaborated to summarize, most dawns she couldn't even look in my direction without confusing me with the one who caused her own suffering. In the torturing struggle of more than one endless evening I was cursed with the possibility that she might heal quicker in my absence." At this there was a much more gelid and darker visiting cadence to his voice. But it was no longer there by the next sentence. "Following your line of reasoning, there was no intended´place in the world for me. Perchance there wasn't. It didn't matter to me then. It shouldn't matter to you now. We forge ourselves." The shadow of his smirk, as if subtly sharing a muted secret with her, returned one final time. "Try to remember that not all things that taste the flames are fated to turn to ash, Gia. You are hurt, yes. And some suffering is unavoidable. A greeting card of new beginnings. It doesn't make you less than you were. Nor does it prevent you from reaching new heights. Whatever you become...That is entirely yours to claim."

He didn't comment on her final acceptance. Taking it instead as his pleased mark of departure. "It was an interesting pleasure to meet you. I'll be in touch soon." He mused with a lingering last look once at her side. Effortless joining in the shadows that introduced him and leaving her as the only vampire in the auditorium.

Beth did say that scary tried to smuggle a guitar into a cello case but got caught.

I’m now wondering if she had to play cello in school because she signed up for the class and is low key getting into cello

[airenyah]

[astoldbychae]

Linda, honey LISTEN. . .

my brain is a jukebox with a randomized shuffle and I can't turn it off. . . Now we're here. . .😩

Girl, HELP! I am hyperfixating over story things again.

But no like for real, do you know how IN LOVE you gotta be to watch TV "until TV went off"...Lenny was going through it honey. It's the fact that guys aren't pouring their hearts out in music anymore and it's upsetting me. Like baby, stand outside my door and cry for me. WEEP! So I know it's real. 😩

Then Twista motormouth ass and that damn violin went CRAZY! She was givin them hell on those strings. Ya'll!

the principals meeting with tita conductor was a little nervewracking given that i don't really have anything to contribute in the way of Real Opinions about bowing and just tend to go with whatever either the concertmaster or principal violas go with, but it was fun to just have that quartet playing together even though it really exposed the whole 'playing catch-up' thing i'm still going through because i feel like we've never had a chance to explore that dynamic with each other
