Shakespeare characters that are living in my head sounding like David Tennant for eternity:

Benedick, Mercutio, Hamlet, Macbeth, Edgar, Richard II, Antipholus of Syracuse.

long-winded glinda gelphie angst thought ahead.

i just had a Thought™. a very sad glinda gelphie thought.

it's always been discussed how absolutely crushing the finale is; interpretations of glinda's grief driving her to do good, not by her own desire but because it was elphaba's last wish for her, amongst many implications in the finale that i love. however, it's always plagued me how it must be so painful and, to a point, numbing elphaba's absence post-defying gravity to glinda is.

it was never said in the musical how long they were apart (i have not read the book), but i rather think it must be a few years since glinda had to graduate ("we all went to uni together"). so, imagine how desperate she must've been in finding elphaba but not pursuing her search because she deemed it safer for the both of them (glinda with her status and elphaba's everything). how worried she felt in her day to day, wondering if her best friend's even safe, if she's already dead somewhere and no one was able find her body because nobody really knows where she is. all she's ever seen of her are the flashes of black flying through the sky, the sad reality of existing in a world with the one who she loves most but not being able to hold her, not even see her.

and then comes the reunion in the wizard's den.

she hears a commotion, she barges in concerned for whatever's going on in there, she sees elphaba. she sees elphaba. they crash onto each other in a tight hug. she's safe, she's here, she's alive. she holds onto her hand.

but then she realises that elphaba wasn't there to see her. not really. she waited and worried and waited even longer, but elphaba wasn't there for her.

what if she came to the conclusion that elphaba was there to apologise. to make amends with the wizard, so she can be with glinda again. what if glinda thought this was her second chance, a blessed one after she rejected elphaba's idea of flying with her during defying gravity.

she chooses fiyero.

now this is where the Thought™ really sprouted from—

she chooses fiyero and runs away and doesn't even say goodbye. and then the wretched senior citizen duo have the gall, the audacity to plan her beloved's demise right in front of her. but. after she's been brutally chosen over someone else, she bitterly says, "her sister. use her sister. spread a rumor, make her think her sister's in trouble. she will fly to her side and you'll have her."

it works. of course, it does. because that's her sister! her only living family left (though, she wasn't aware of that yet). but what if, glinda started to realise, after being left by elphaba again, that the plan wouldn't work if she were the one in trouble. what if glinda begun to think, how insignificant she must be in elphaba's life. to not be protected by her, to not have her fly over and fight whatever evil that has come to target glinda. to not be priotised by her.

to not even be a choice.

Schmigadoon! at The Kennedy Center // February 1, 2025

I saw the stage adaptation of one of my favorite shows, the thing that brings me the most joy in the world, Schmigadoon! and it was… perfect. Cinco Paul has created such a joyous and magical world, on screen and now on stage. The cast was perfect. There are of course changes and condenses from the original season, but I personally didn’t miss anything and the changes/additions are a delight! I can’t wait for this to transfer to Broadway AND IT WILL TRANSFER OR SO HELP ME GOD.

Tears of Laughter - Stage/Fright version As performed at the Wyndham's Theatre Saturday 18 Jan 2025

BHAV It's almost time to say goodbye,

Ta-ta and fare-thee-well

ANNA It's almost time to bring the curtain down

MIRANDA I'll say adieu…

GABY To me?

MIRANDA To you

ANNA So long, it has been swell

ALL But don't you cry the tears of a clow-ow-own

(Enter R&S in matching white top hat and tails, white patent dress shoes, silver bow ties and white carnations in their buttonholes)

R&S If you're going to cry

Cry tears of laughter

A smile takes much less effort than a frown

So let's have one more joke and raise the rafters

Cos laughter's the best medicine in town…

REECE Did you know I was buried in a glass coffin?

STEVE Really? How was that?

REECE Remains to be seen

STEVE Terrible!

ALL Yes, if you're going to cry

Cry tears of laughter

A comedy is always more divine

We're having a party

At the great hereafter

So come and dance with us

Upon cloud nine

STEVE Well we want to thank you for coming here to our memorial service

REECE Yes, it's been great to see so many people here to send us off

ANNA On behalf of us all I'd like to say a word, if I may?

STEVE Of course!

ANNA Plethora

STEVE That means a lot!

BHAV Bargain

REECE That means a great deal!

MIRANDA Global

REECE That means more than you can possibly imagine!

REBECCA (Bloody Belle) Arghrghraoeaowaowr...

STEVE Awww, you don't know what that means!

ALL Yes if you're going to cry

Cry tears of laughter

Your funny bone can never break in two

Misery might let you win a BAFTA

But laughter is my memory of you

STEVE Before he died, Reece stole my diary! My thoughts are with his family

ALL Laughter is my memory of you

REECE Never challenge Death to a pillow fight There'll be reaper-cushions

ALL Yes, laughter is my memory of you

Yoooou, yoooou

O-o-of you!

You love (?) forever after

TOBY We'll leave the ghost light on so you don't get lonely

STEVE Awww!

(Rest of cast leave)

R&S Laughter is my memory of…

(Hand clapping/knee slapping ending routine)

(Point out to audience)

You!

I think one of my favorite recurring themes so to speak in Redacted is how pretty much every empowered character has been shown to be like “I have these amazing magical powers, and the best possible use of them is to make my partner happy.” And the fact that this is true regardless of whether or not their partner is also empowered makes it even better. Just some examples I can think of off the top of my head are Asher shifting for Baaabe so they can cuddle him in his wolf form (please bring this back, Erik), Elliott not only making these elaborate D&D fantasies for him and Sunshine to go on adventures in but also using his powers to keep their nightmares at bay, David 😳… doing what David does, and Avior literally terraforming the Hellscape they were trapped in several times just so he and Starlight had something nice to enjoy in that nightmare (other than one another of course). 

Honorable mention goes to Hush for basically doing the exact opposite. A being made of pure magic learns to cook simply so he can make food for his human “friend”.

... Why did they build a whole-ass flood bypass out in the Splatlands, anyway? Is it like California rules where it's arid as hell most of the time except for when everyone drowns, or has the flash flooding caused by Big Runs been more of a long-running issue then we initially thought?

The fan splatband Red Flare District is named in reference to the 190-chapter juggernaut "exercises in gratitude (The Barclay Street Flood)" by @redeyedsheepskull over on AO3. Contrary to what Inkopolis news media would have you believe, the Order vs. Chaos Splatfest was only partly the reason for the mass cultural exodus to the Splatlands. Maybe it had something to do with the fallout after a catastrophic spillway failure submerged a low-class Inkopolis neighborhood in millions of tons of polluted floodwater, I dunno.

RFD changed its name (from RLD) partly to capitalize on the event and partly out of genuine albeit ham-handed tribute.

And here, out in the middle of the desert, is yet another failed flood bypass. The ironic hilarity was too good for them to not write a song about. Fast-forward five years and some still consider the end product to be a tad insensitive.
