Audra headcanons? 🥺

THANK YOU I love my daughter in law so fucking much

So to start, Audra was a child actress. She got her first job — a commercial — at nine, but she booked her first movie at eleven. She was too young at the time to really understand what it would mean to be famous. She was just excited to be on tv, the same way any kid would be. But the movie role marked the end of her childhood. She was pulled out of school and was instead homeschooled like every other child star in LA. She didn’t have many friends growing up, there weren’t many opportunities for her to meet people her own age and she was too busy to keep up with her previous friends.

After her first movie Audra’s career exploded. She very quickly became beloved around America. But as she got older her roles got more and more sexual, and she found herself being more sexualized by her directors & the men around her. Not only was she finding herself being taken less seriously by her peers & bosses, but the viewers that had previously loved her have suddenly turned their backs on her. Every magazine article is around her possible sex life, how she was spotted at a club, how small her clothes have suddenly gotten.

Around this same time, Audra is getting in a bad place with substance abuse. Booze, coke, etc. she’s out partying constantly, trying to feel anything at all. By the time she reaches her 20’s she’s essentially out of work. She gets a few roles here and there but that’s it.

Bill, meanwhile, has grown up watching Audra’s movies. He always had a crush on her, the Losers would tease him every time she had a new movie coming out. I know in canon Bill goes to a college in Maine but we’re gonna ignore that. Bill & Eddie go to community college in Maine but Bill transfers to UCSB.

He meets Audra at a bar. Bill’s new to LA and, at this point, is only really friends with his roommate (his roommate is Will Byers just bc I’m obsessed w them as friends & roommates — but I did have a draft of a Bill&Audra fic where his roommate was Charlie from Fairy Tale) so Bill’s out trying to make friends. Audra just wants to drink. Bill sees her but doesn’t want to intrude, so he’s hesitant to approach. But they end up talking.

Audra supports Bill in his writing, and does her best to use her connections to get him publishing deals. Bill supports Audra in overcoming her addictions and her trauma from growing up in the industry. Just the two of them supporting and loving each other.

The first time someone wants to turn Bill’s novel into a movie, he refuses to approve the project unless Audra gets a substantial role. This basically kickstarts Audra’s revival career. She’s getting more roles, and the audience loves her again. Bill and Audra do their best to keep their relationship to themselves. The whole world is watching now but their relationship has always been just the two of them against the world.

I’m sure this is a lot longer than you were expecting but I got so excited svsjsgsjsg I’ve thought extensively abt Bill & Audra’s relationship. So thank you again for giving me a reason to talk about it🫶🫶

I voted for "does annoying voices for certain characters" because I have too much beef with the Discworld audiobooks. Though the real answer is that the Farseer trilogy is the worst for the way the American narrator puts on a bad British accent the whole way through. Unlistenable.

NEW PROPAGANDA AND MEDIA UNDER CUT: ALL POLLS HERE

"Do you ever think Laura Linney reads her playbill bio and cries? Does she dream of the day when she too will hold a Tony Award aloft in triumph, or has she resigned herself to being one of four actresses with the biggest fail rate and will one day hold the record outright? (Given that Estelle Parsons is in her nineties, Dana Ivey is in her eighties, and Jan Maxwell, my beloved, is dead?) Anyway, the point of this isn't to rub salt in the wound. Love you, Laura Linney."

"It's too mean to title this poll Biggest Tony Winner vs. Biggest Tony Loser but it's pretty damn accurate, and given the overwhelming whiteness of award shows overall, it's damn satisfying that the Black woman is the one with a record-breaking Tonys on her shelf and the white blonde woman is not (no matter how talented she is). Audra McDonald, my beloved, you're going to sweep this entire tournament."

OC TAG GAME ｡*･♡;

i was tagged by the lovely @noonfaerie to categorize some ocs + use this picrew; tysm ambie!! 💕💕

♡ FAVORITE OC.

ursula — baldur’s gate 3

my three favorite ocs always alternate between ursula, thea, and audra, but as of right now i’ve really been on an ursa kick!! probably my most universally beloved oc as well?? u guys already know everything abt her—a sailor, a tyrant, a lesson in pride, and the rest!!!!! her backstory makes my soul ache and i just love her sm celebrate pride this year by driving ur gf to her death just like ursula !! 🌈 🌈

♡ NEWEST OC.

lacie lane — infamous (if)

my gorgeous gorgeous girl!! my cocky ex gf!!!! my problematic lead singer!!!!!! u guys know the gist. what can be said abt lacie other than she’s toxic and beautiful and not as in control as she thinks. i’m really eager to see infamous develop so i can think of some juicy lacie/seven content bc as of right now i’ve been in a creative drought 😔

♡ OLDEST OC.

rowena cousland — dragon age: origins

so rowena is technically my second oldest oc (the honor of first belongs to silla 💕) but i’m listing her instead of silla because her story and personality has been consistent for the past ten years whereas silla has evolved!! rowena is proud, stubborn, and clever as the devil—and each of these traits have been both flaw and merit. her relationship with alistair is complex and tragic but mended with a bit of time.

♡ MEANEST OC.

kinasi irress — star wars

honestly ursula and jael were both strong competitors for most cruel oc, but kina takes the cake because, unlike the other two who cultivated strong affinities/bonds in their youth, kinasi has never known kindness. for over thirty years she lived in an environment of fear, hatred, and isolation. all she knew was the vie for power and all she knew was punishment if she failed the social climb. in a world of every-man-for-himself and please-your-master-or-fall-from-grace, community-centric skills such as teamwork, generosity, and emotional support were nonexistent, and so she never developed them. to be “mean,” which is putting it lightly, was just their nature. dog eat dog. need against need.

♡ SOFTEST OC.

ellery lux — pillars of eternity

the sweetest weirdo who ever lived!! ellery is a druid who, after being separated from her parents, raised herself in the forest with no one but the creatures and sun-dappled greenery for company. everything she learned, she learned from the woods—tenderness a kind of virtue no human could have taught her. she’s decisive and gentle and accepting and doesn’t care for social conventions in the slightest AND!!! i love her so much 🌿🦌🤍

♡ MOST ALOOF/STANDOFFISH OC.

salylia dreneri — the elder scrolls: morrowind

she doesn’t mean to be this way, but she’s a stranger in a strange land and her former partner just framed her and there’s some freak talking to her in her head and she can’t help but put herself at a distance from everyone !! though she was always the cool, quiet one—tennebrae did most of the talking.

♡ DUMBEST (AFFECTIONATE) OC.

bright — dungeons & dragons

her true name eaki, bright was given to a halfling village deep in the bramblewood when she was just an infant. an odd combination, tiefling and halflings, but they understood social scorn and ostracization and accepted her completely. when her adoptive sibling fell mysteriously ill, bright, at the behest of the village herbalist, sought out an ancient forest entity, and struck a deal—the life of her sibling (and many boons) in exchange for a favor when the time comes. all this being said, she is not the wisest warlock around. bright is bright for her charm and silliness, not her brains.

♡ SMARTEST OC.

jael khatri — pathfinder: wrath of the righteous

this was another tough one between jael and cath, but jael won because she’s, in the most reductive of terms, a sexy evil experimentalist!! everyone already knows everything abt jael and how her cruelty is clinical and her wit is sharp as a knife from when i first played pwotr last year but i’ll never stop being obsessed with her!!!

♡ OC YOU’D BE BEST FRIENDS WITH IRL.

corintha trevelyan — dragon age: inquisition

this isn’t because i think i’d get along with her best (i think that would be emika or honey??) but because i love a DELUSIONAL girlie. i’d kill to pick her brain fhdjfnfnfbd

tagging!! @malefiicarum @rosebarsoap @lvllns @devilbrakers @bunfey @saintjudegf @ladysanjo @statichvm @aartyom @celticwoman @shadowglens @druidgroves @mrs-theirin @necroticpetals @minaharkers @dantesparda @umbertors @nuclearstorms @liurnia @jillvalcntines @risingsh0t @brujah @solasan and you!!!!!!

The Gilded Age of Broadway Divas: Duets, Trios, and Other Crossovers

While I wait for my matinee show to start, here's our final compilation just six hours before our season finale. If you've been following along with this series, you'll notice how much overlap there is in the theatre. Everyone has been with, or sung with, or played the same role as everyone else. Here is just a taste of the sublime combined talents of our favorite Broadway Divas. And yes, this is my petition to have a musical episode.

#1: "Lily's Eyes," (The Secret Garden) Miscast 2022 - Audra McDonald and Kelli O'Hara

I watched this, and my soul transcended space and time. Performed at MCC's 2022 Miscast gala honoring Christine Baranski (of course), Audra and Kelli have a brief tiff about which soprano is worthy of Soprano Island before joining together to sing the most resplendent duet you will ever experience in your life.

The Secret Garden opened on Broadway in 1991 starring Rebecca Luker as Lily. Kelli and Audra are singing the parts of Lily's husband and brother-in-law respectively. And like Lily, Rebecca Luker has since passed away. Knowing that they are singing not only to honor Christine, but also to Rebecca, their dear friend and fellow soprano, is yet another layer of heartbreak. I love this song.

#2: "Move On," (Sunday in the Park with George) Princetown concert 2022 - Audra McDonald & Michael Cerveris

Former co-stars reunited in Princetown last year to sing this impromptu duet from the Pulitzer-winning Sunday in the Park with George. Sunday is filled with sublime music, and "Move On" is one of the best. In it, Dot appears to George, the grandson of Georges Seurat, and encourages him to move on with his artistry and stop worrying about perfection. The show itself is beautiful and complex, and a proshot is available for your convenience.

Audra and Michael had previously done a three-day, semi-staged production of this show in 2004, also featuring Patti LuPone as Yvonne/Blair Daniels (the role Christine Baranski created in the original pre-Broadway workshop). Interestingly, this trio would move on to take part in the Lincoln Center Broadcast of Passion in 2005 with Audra as Clara (the Marin Mazzie role), and Patti as Fosca (the Donna Murphy role).

Michael Cerveris would play Giorgio multiple times in his career, including the 10th Anniversary concert with Marin and Donna.

#3 Tonight: Quintet (West Side Story) - Lucky to Be Me: The Music of Leonard Bernstein (2010) - Kelli O'Hara, Donna Murphy, Michael Cerveris

Speaking of Michael Cerveris and Donna Murphy, and joined by Kelli O'Hara, this audio comes from a 2010 concert celebrating the music of Leonard Bernstein. The youtube video incorrectly attributes this to a 2012 concert, but it is not.

"Tonight (Quintet)" is, of course, from West Side Story, where Bernstein wrote the music, and Sondheim wrote the lyrics. Because this was a concert, certain singing parts are taken by those who would not sing such parts in a full production...anymore. (Lest we forget Natalie Wood in the movie.)

Donna sings Anita, and Kelli sings Maria, the two young Puerto Rican women in the show. And I think we'll leave that there. Michael Cerveris sings the part of Riff, and they are joined by Cheyenne Jackson as Tony.

Also featured in this concert is the amazing, incredible, beloved soprano Victoria Clark, who has starred opposite all three of our Gilded Age actors at one point or another. As the Margaret to Kelli's Clara (Light in the Piazza), the Sally to Donna's Phyllis (Encores! Follies), and in Titanic with Michael Cerveris. Theatre, it's all connected.

#4: LoveMusik (2007)

A little more on LoveMusik. While I've already detailed a little on my Donna Murphy post, here's some more about Michael Cerveris, two-time Tony winner. As Kurt Weill, Michael was nominated for a Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Drama League Award, but did not win any. While the show itself was given mixed reviews, the performances of Donna and Michael were almost universally praised.

The 2007 Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical included three Gilded Age nominees. Debra Monk (Curtains), Audra McDonald (110 in the Shade) and Donna Murphy (LoveMusik). All three lost to Christine Ebersole of the Grey Gardens variety. Fair. I suppose. However, Audra and Donna tied for the Drama Desk. And there WAS a wonderful clip of their award ceremony online for years, except now that I need it for this, it's been taken down. Of course.

#5: "At the Ballet," (A Chorus Line) - Audra McDonald & Kelli O'Hara

Joined by Megan Hilty, Kelli O'Hara and Audra McDonald performed "At the Ballet" from A Chorus Line at a Lincoln Center Marvin Hamlisch tribute in 2013. Audra showcases a robust lower range I simply adore. Unfortunately the lower key change leaves Kelli's soprano in an awkward place, but I love her anyway.

A Chorus Line is one of the musical theatre greats, and while "At the Ballet" is often overshadowed by "What I Did for Love," it's my personal favorite. The original stage show ran for 6,137 performances, and was nominated for twelve Tonys, winning nine. After Follies, this is the show I most want to see fully staged. A 50th Anniversary revival was rumored back in 2016 for 2025, but I'll believe it when I see it.

#6: The Ladies Who Lunch (Company) - Take Me to the World: A Sondheim 90th Celebration - Christine Baranski & Audra McDonald (ft. Meryl Streep)

Legends. Icons. Divas. What more can I say about "The Ladies Who Lunch," performed by Christine Baranski, Audra McDonald, and Meryl Streep, mother to Louisa Jacobson? As the story goes, they had done so many takes that by this time, they were well and truly on their way to being drunk. And yet, Audra McDonald still sounds more exquisite than anyone on earth.

I watched this when it premiered "live" on YouTube during the early days of the pandemic. Several Broadway stars who would go on to The Gilded Age are featured, including Kelli O'Hara, Laura Benanti, Nathan Lane, and Michael Cerveris.

It has been almost four years, and I have still not recovered from this song's placement in the concert. Picture it: you have just been emotionally wrung out by Donna Murphy's revelatory "Send in the Clowns," sung whilst seated in front of an Al Hirshfeld print of Passion, with her cleavage out in true Mrs. Astor fashion. And then suddenly there's jaunty Company music, and an illustration of the great Elaine Stritch with her martini glass high. And then there is Christine Baranski in a bathrobe and a truly massive glass of red wine. And you think it cannot get any better. And then the second verse hits and there's Meryl Streep with a cocktail mixer. AND THEN Audra Fucking McDonald. They put those two songs back-to-back and expected me to recover one day? As if.

Bonus: "Lips Together, Teeth Apart" (2018) - Nathan Lane & Christine Baranski

While not a musical performance, I would be remiss if I didn't direct your attention to this masterpiece. Did you ever think you'd hear Aunt Agnes gunning to see Ward McAllister's dick? No? Well, here it is. Terrence McNally wrote "Lips Together, Teeth Apart" specifically for his 1991 original cast which included Christine as Chloe and Nathan Lane as her brother Sam. And they are going through marital troubles with their respective spouses. Nathan and Christine reunited in 2018 to perform this scene for McNally's 80th Birthday.

But the Gilded Age connection doesn't stop there:

In 2019, The New York Times Magazine ran a special "America 2024" issue, as a tribute to Terrence McNally. The whole thing is a fantastic read, and I'd recommend it. In it features photoshoots depicting scenes from several of McNally's plays, including "Lips Together, Teeth Apart." And look who's here: Donna Murphy as Chloe (the Christine Baranski role), Broadway's Leading Man Brian Stokes Mitchell, Michael Shannon as Sam (the Nathan Lane role), and Katie Finneran.

And on one of four covers for this issue, Celia Keenan-Bolger.

With that, the conclusion to my little Diva miniseries. I hope you've found this as entertaining as I have. And if you'd like me to go into more detail about anything you've seen throughout this series, let me know, because I have so much more gossip and drama that I had to restrain myself from adding.

~*~ Daddy played piano Played it very well Music from those hands could Catch you like a spell He could make you love him 'Fore the tune was done You have your daddy's hands You are your daddy's son "Your Daddy's Son" - Audra McDonald ~*~

I have many, many feelings about this drawing and the story behind it, as well as this song that seamlessly fit into it. I happened upon it purely by chance and it has been rotting my brain for about a week now, mostly because it works so well for the perspective of Atrax's mother, Adelaide.

To finally divulge a little bit of his history, Atrax was the firstborn prince to a kingdom called Cania, yet his birthright was denied to him due to him being the result of an affair. His mother was the ruling queen, Adelaide, and his father was the king's younger brother, Sigismund. The two had truly loved each other, but that love would lead to a swift tragedy due to the ruthlessness of Cania's king, Vsevolod. Sigismund was executed for the betrayal, and Adelaide only just managed to plead mercy for their son, but while Atrax was allowed to live, his life was anything but merciful. Vsevolod was cruel and went out of his way to punish Atrax for merely existing, keeping the young prince locked away as they lied to the public that he had perished due to his poor health. Meanwhile Adelaide was not allowed to interact with him at all and could not even bear the sight of him the few times they did meet, being overcome with guilt, depression and shame. She might have initially saved his life, but she abandoned him to his uncle's cruelty, unable to handle her own role in his fate. Atrax grew up without a single positive influence in his life and countless failed attempts to earn his parents' affection, damaging him deeper and deeper until he finally ran away at the age of 14.

And sadly things only got worse from then on, but this is as far as I will take it.

The song perfectly portrays Adelaide's grief and guilt over Atrax's fate and her role in all of it. Sigismund was a charismatic and beloved man, and Atrax was the spitting image of his father. Both sweet and gentle souls, it was clear that Atrax would have been just as beloved, but instead he was used, abused and crushed until none of that was left and he grew into a vicious adult who was both desired and detested for who he is. It is the song of his parents' love, his father's execution, his mother's abandonment, and the tragic fate of an innocent child whose only crime was being born, his only crime was that he was his father's son.

Songs of Solidarity

I've been working on collecting music to make a playlist to encourage myself and my friends through the insanity of the current political landscape. I'm trying to pull from a wide range- old 60s songs my hippy parents raised me on, alternative rock I listened to as a rebellious teen, new stuff I'm just getting into, showtunes, even some of my beloved comedy musicians. There's so many repeated themes and motifs, which I guess makes sense- the quest for a better world is so very intrinsic to us, and progress comes in waves, so we have to keep reminding ourselves of what we're fighting for.

I am always weird (shy/nervous/feel like it's pointless) about posting, but I think this might be a thing that other people would like to see. So here's a little taste of what I've been listening to (with youtube links and a little information [or possibly way too much information if you don't like parentheticals {which obviously I do}] about each)- today's songs are Revolution by The Beatles, Liberation by Muse, and Rise Up by Audra Day.

Revolution is obviously one of the Big Ones. I doubt I need to explain the importance or popularity of The Beatles globally, but on a personal level they were one of my favorite bands growing up, and still are to this day. I was a John girl, but am now more of a George fan, although if it's who would I want to hang out with the most, I gotta go with my stoner bro Ringo- sorry Paul, no offense. You're still my mom's favorite (she thinks you're cute). All three of my parents were actually huge Beatles fans, so I was destined to listen to them all the time as a kid, and luckily I loved their music. Like many people, I prefer the harder, rockier single version of the song Revolution over the version on the white album with the doo-wops. When it was released, they came in for some criticism for what some felt was a wishy-washy take on revolution, but I think the internal conflict between a desire for a better world and a hope to avoid violence is part of what makes it a lasting classic (along with the reassurance that it'll be alright).

Muse has a lot of political/protest songs that I enjoy, but this particular number has an optimism to it that I think pairs well with Revolution. Inspired largely by the Black Lives Matter movement, it reflects the writer (lead singer Matt Bellamy)'s hope for systemic change to American politics to make them more truly democratic- something that now feels more important than ever. It also has a heavily Queen-influenced feel that I love, with dramatic piano flourishes and soaring vocals that make it really fun for me to sing along with, so it's a personal favorite.

Speaking of soaring vocals, you'd be hard pressed to find a more stirring vocal performance than this one by Andra Day. I first heard it on Doctor Who in the episode Rosa, about Rosa Parks (s11, e3) which despite some small flaws is still, I believe, one of the best episodes of the show (also I love Jodie Whittaker and I loved her run of the show even if it wasn't perfect thankyouverymuch) and if I hadn't already been crying (I was, Vinette Robinson's Rosa was incredible), I definitely would have started sobbing then. Andra Day wrote it as "a sort of prayer" in a moment of personal suffering, saying she'd usually have cut some of the more cliché lines, "[b]ut sometimes a good cliché is exactly what you need in a moment of hopelessness." I think maybe that personal crying out is what made it ring so true to so many, and be adopted as a rallying cry for the BLM movement. Like a lot of her music (and her whole aesthetic really, I LOVE her vintage and vintage-inspired fashion) it has an old-school gospel feel that will always move me (yes I did cry listening to it for this post).

yayyyy thank you!!! <3 so many fun questions to answer!

5. favourite musical you want to see live you are talking to the girl who has not shut up about the bridges of madison county for the last month sooooo (other than that, it does hurt that i've never seen she loves me or sitpwg live, and i realllly want to see the current next to normal production)

6. favourite musical you’ve seen live i did already answer this but i will add if/then, my (our) beloved, which i saw... 4 times on tour and once regionally because i am very normal

10. favourite actor/actress in a musical picking just one is HARD. i'll say kelli o'hara because i love her forever & i'm going through something with bridges right now to the point where she is currently my #1 artist on spotify, but there are so many others. i will say that i loveee a soprano in general (audra mcdonald, laura benanti, pippa soo, denee benton ilysm)

11. favourite musical on broadway right now merrily!!!!! (other than that, it's probably still wicked)

17. favourite musical that you’re ashamed to like joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat, maybe? i can't stand alw in general but that show is super nostalgic for me. on a more serious note, i have so many problems with the king and i, but i have to admit that the score slaps.

20. favourite musical for sentimental reasons definitely the sound of music. it's just so nostalgic for me. i watched it ALL the time as a kid <3
