Perhaps in another life, we don't part away as enemies. Perhaps... We remain together.

(Yup, that's Ariel and Eric from the live action movie The Little Mermaid as Calypso and Davy Jones. I love them, let me ship them.)

A Los Angeles Theatre Review: 'Ghost Waltz'

You can consider yourself fortunate when you watch good theatre that has meaningful diversity. But it’s not often that you come across a piece that enthralls you completely from beginning to end that when it’s over, you immediately wish for it to be seen all over the country, in both big and small theatres alike. Such is the case for the world premiere of Ghost Waltz at the Latino Theater…

Today (4/19/24) is the last day to see Life Out of Balance at the Emily Davis Gallery at The University of Akron. The group show show includes work by Maria Uhase, Meryl Engler, Lori Kella, Benjamin Lambert, Michael Loderstedt, Eve Polzer, Ron Shelton, Ariel Bowman, and Corrie Slawson.

From the gallery-

When a tree falls in a forest, we may see it as the death of the tree. It stops photosynthesizing, growing, feeding its mycorrhizal symbionts, flowering, developing fruit, dispersing seeds, taking in carbon dioxide, and producing oxygen. But in the ecosystem, it begins a whole new life in decay. It feeds the soil and microbes through the decomposition of its tissues; it provides a place for fungi, mosses, and lichens to grow; and it becomes a protected habitat for a myriad of insects, mammals, and birds. This same tree, therefore, can be both dying and living at the same time, depending on perspective. It can be dead if considered separate from its surroundings, or it can be alive in its continued relationship within its ecosystem.

Humans can feel more alive by being integrated with the rest of the natural world. We are not living to our full potential, or allowing nature to be its full potential, when we consider ourselves as separate from it.

If we are to have hope for solving the complex environmental issues that are facing us today, we need to work with, rather than against, the forces of nature.

break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored (2019)

[cassius-banks]

"I get that, but whats in it for me?" Cass asks, rarely being one to do things out of the simple goodness of his heart. Still he climbs another step after her, and the one after that, assuming that whatever task laid ahead of him could be soon over and his head could hit back onto his pillow. "You don't think so?" He remarks, he's fucking with her, but the reaction she gives is too good to let up on the tease. "Dunno, maybe. People do weird shit on apartment roofs all the time. Isn't that what I'm here for?"

( @arielxdavis )

"You're helping me, that's what we're doing." Ariel insisted. Okay, so maybe she could've waited for the morning, but the bloody antenna was clearly not working, and she had heard the maintenance guy mention those were on the roof. It was also a lot less scary going up there with someone else. "Wait, the water's been tasting funny?" Her eyes widened as she paused to stop and look at Cassius. "You think we're going to find something scary up there?!" @cassius-banks

Disney Branded Television Greenlits ‘Sofia the First: Royal Magic,’ Sequel To ‘Sofia the First’ Slated For A 2026 Release Date.

Today, Disney Jr. announced a series greenlight for “Sofia the First: Royal Magic” a continuation of “Sofia the First” and remains one of the most successful global preschool franchises for The Walt Disney Company. The spin-off got picked up for development back in November 2022 under the working title ("Royal Prep Academy")

“Sofia the First: Royal Magic” follows Sofia as she attends The Charmswell School for Royal Magic, where princes and princesses from across the EverRealm will continue their royal studies and also learn all types of magic. During her time at Charmswell, Sofia discovers she is the most magical princess in the realm and must learn how to master her powers while making new royal friends. Each episode will contain two 11-minute stories, each with a new original song.  The sequel is created and executive produced by original series creator Craig Gerber. Ariel Winter (“Modern Family”), who voiced the role of Sofia, in the original series, is set to reprise her role. Additional casting will be announced at a later date. Many of the creative team from “Firebuds” are involved in this series, including Krystal Banzon as co-executive producer and story editor, Kris Wimberly as supervising director, and Craig Simpson as producer. The series is produced by Disney Television Animation. The new series is currently in production and is slated for a 2026 premiere on Disney Jr. and Disney+

Gerber added, “I’m incredibly excited for the chance to return to Sofia’s enchanted world and tell the next chapter in her story. At a new school specializing in royal magic, Sofia will learn how to master her magical abilities while discovering the power of friendship and teamwork from her new royal classmates. Over the years, I have heard countless stories of how much the original series meant to young viewers and I’m hoping the new show will delight the next generation of preschoolers.”

Ayo Davis, president, Disney Branded Television and VP of Current and Development at Disney Television Animation said, “Since its debut in 2012, ‘Sofia the First’ captured the hearts and imaginations of preschoolers everywhere for its beloved characters, memorable music, adventurous spirit and meaningful storylines. The enduring charm and appeal of Sofia is undeniable, and we’re excited to continue sharing her journey in ‘Sofia the First: Royal Magic.’”

The “Sofia the First” franchise still holds the record for the Top 3 cable TV telecasts for Girls 2-5 and, lifetime to date, has garnered over 755 million views on Disney Junior YouTube.

Sofia The First: Royal Magic is one of the many projects by Disney Television Animation to introduce the studio's iconic franchises and charactes to a new generation of fans, other projects include "The Proud Family: Louder And Prouder", Disney Junior's "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 2.0", "Phineas And Ferb" as a revival and a reboot of "Darkwing Duck" by Point Grey Pictures (Nickelodeon Animation Studios "Tales Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles")

New interations of "TaleSpin" also by Point Grey Pictures (Nickelodeon Animation Studios "Tales Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles") & "Recess" with the original creators are in very early development at the studio.

Starkid Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas

Hey it's been a while, hasn't it?

The reason for my absence can be boiled down to an increase in classwork plus being in a musical (I was William Barfee in the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee). But at the moment I am back in the saddle (we'll see how long that lasts) and ready to give you all more dreamcasts. And what better way to start this new leaf than a Christmas present of a Christmas musical! I'm not sure a lot of people know this one but I hope you all enjoy it just the same! I tried to keep in mind which Starkid performers had puppet experience and use that here.

[delilahcarreno]

"I don't think that it's weird." Delilah reassured, head shaking. "Putting yourself out there, at any age, is terrifying. Believe me. And it doesn't get easier."

Which perhaps wasn't the soundest advice, but it was the truth; at least in Delilah's experience.

"But I will say that the hardest part is the showing up, which you've already done." She pointed out with a shrug. "If nothing else, you look good and get a decent meal out of the whole night. Maybe a funny story to tell."

And maybe, just maybe, leave with something more than that. Delilah wasn't holding her breath on it, but she imagined she had quite a few more years on the woman next to her to be the appropriate amount of cynical about this whole thing.

She blew out a breath as she contemplated her answer. "I'm torn between someone closer to my daughter's age than mine, my ex boyfriend, or...the owner of the Golden Hour Lounge."

(Though there was nothing outright horrid about the thought of a meal with Cassius, other than the knowledge that she would never hear the end of it.)

"So quite a wide net of worst case scenarios, unfortunately. But maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised." Or maybe just only mildly disappointed.

@arielxdavis

"Oh, I have no idea." Ariel frowned a little at the thought of that. Not that the question was an offensive one; she hadn't really thought about it, always hoping for the better-case scenario. Because hoping for the best case would be absolutely ridiculous. "Is it weird that I'm dreading it? Like, the idea's cool and all, but maybe I made the wrong choice by signing up for this."

Then again, at least everyone was getting something out of this, and a nice dinner was totally worth it... most likely. "What about you?" She asked the woman curiously, focusing her attention on her rather than the nervousness that was threatening to take over her. @delilahcarreno
