Related but unrelated: I was trying to design a specific dilf NPC for my Curse of Strahd game and spent about a half hour digging through your art for inspiration. I dream of being able to make this old man as crusty but likable as yours.

i have had a close friend tell me before to find insp for old men ocs that they've crawled through my media so im glad to help really. i do think they could be crustier however, there is always room to grow.. <3

the greatest act of love for your friend’s oc isn’t making him a romantic partner, it’s making him a nemesis

you are the only person whose opinion I want to hear about Wicked movie when you've seen it. signed, someone who just got out of the movie theater (I also have a lore question but will spoil nothing if you're not seeing it/haven't seen it)

I literally saw this as I was watching the end credits in the theater omg

I went in 90% blind. How do you go in blind when you've read the books and seen/listened the musical? Ignore all press releases, ads, and especially the Down the Yellow Brick Pod patreon group chat. I knew the beats and my low bar was at Oz The Great and Powerful, which is one bar below NBC's Emerald City. All I asked was that it understood the musical/book point and it's relation to other Oz media and it DELIVERED SO WELL. Sometimes in Oz media I go "so is this in my headcanon of Oz time or its own bubble universe" AND THIS ONE WAS IN MY HEADCANON.

The sets were superb, the costumes were superb, the dancing was superb I swear to god I dreamt about the Dancing Through Life choreography on the eve of my Saturn Return. I am not a singing expert and have historically inadvertently loved bad musical singing but I LIKED IT TOO.

My only complaint was how CG the monkey transformation sequence was for all its practical set pieces otherwise (I also know Maguire's monkey lore diverges from the Baum books but all Maguire/Baum divergence I accept long ago). Can you imagine if Henson Creature Shop was brought in just for one brutal stop mo/computer enhanced animatronic moment to add some Return to Oz/39 flying monkey terror? It would have been superb.

Oscar Diggs' characterization, called by name, was 10/10 just Jeff Goldblum as a charlatan pretending to be Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. The poppy sleeping bit, the hard-core lore map, the desert's edge where any other musical heroine would be singing on an ocean cliff. This movie KNEW ITS OZ. "But the Munchkins aren't wearing blue" well one that's to connect this to the 39 film and because THIS IS AN INTEGRATED OZ THEY ARE MIXING COLORS AND SIGNIFICANTLY THERE ARE ONLY 5 COLOR SCHEMES THE ENSEMBLE ARE WEARING and also THAT SPECIFIC ENSEMBLE IS A DYING VILLAGE AT A HUB OF TEXTILE IMPORT AND EXPORT WHICH CHECKS OFF MY NEED FOR TEXTILE WORK TO BE PRESENT IN A FANTASY WORLD IN THE WHOLE FIRST SCENE

so yes I adored it, for a whole slew of other reasons I also felt seen by it a movie and it is so rare a movie I am seeing sees me back. This was one for the undiagnosed neurodivergent girls who had an affinity with Elphaba in the 2010s, this one was for the girls who wrote this comic the morning before, unknowing that Elphaba would find strength in accepting her emotional inner child at the film's climax:

This is a movie that saw me in this moment I'm at so I'm sooo biased.

Also this felt like a movie movie. My dad said "Did it feel like seeing Wizard of Oz for the first time?" and to be honest, yes? Wizard of Oz for the first time and also the world I have played in and lived in for 18 years now in high def color? I also was by myself in the second row to the screen, chair leaned way back to see everything, and absolutely overstimulated by feeling like I could walk right into my favorite fantasy world. I paid $13 to see a 2.5 hour musical and tbh? I got my money's worth.

What is your lore question???? I'd love to answer!!! Yes Boq SHOULD BE ALIVE TO GREET DOROTHY ON HER FIRST NIGHT IN MUNCHKINLAND but Maguire reflects this in the book and the stage musical mushes Boq and Nick Chopper together, but as two witches get mushed together to make Glinda in the 39 film it's sorta in character. Oz is not for the hard-core facts and continuity, it's about archetypes with similar traits and feelings.

Rachel says: So her name is Melody, and she’s a makeup artist from Northern California. Melody likes to get angry about things. From a screwed-up coffee order, to the radio playing the same song twice in a row, to the store being out of her brand of blueberry juice, Melody almost enjoys the feeling of getting angry about nothing. She spends her day looking at people in the face, and perhaps as a result, she’s really more of a loner. She drinks a lot of peppermint tea because it’s supposed to be calming. The last date she went on tried to cook dinner for her, and she regrets that she was not very receptive. But generally, you have to spend a little money to get her attention. She’s been described as a bitch, but, she thinks there are worse things to be called. She loves Vogue magazine, and baked potatoes.

@bonesmakenoise or an audiobook maybe? 😁

But actually this is a re-read! I am just a deeply ridiculous person.

I must not take House of Leaves in my carry-on. The urge to take House of Leaves in my carry-on is the mind killer. The urge to take House of Leaves in my carry-on is the little death that brings total obliteration for my already injured back. I will face this urge. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path, and where the urge has gone, there will be nothing. Only the 200 fucking pages I have left shall remain.

bonesmakenoise replied to your post “apparently the last half hour of this musical is just more...”

My friend, I have got to get you watching some traditional Takarazuka stuff. So much choreography. So much plumage. Sequins galore.

as a theatre kid who loves women and watches PBS Great Performances for fun, I think it would take extremely little to push me over the edge into full takarazuka fandom
