Say about red vs blue whatever you want but it is fucking comedy gold. The dialog is hilarious, dumb and clever at once and the flow is amazing and the interactions so organic (also the voice acting is A+). And season 6? Reconstructions?

Like, the shift of it. Its still silly and dumb and they are so far from competent but putting agent Washington into the mix is soo good. Like before it was a bunch of bumbling fools trying to deal with whatever dumb shit but really not wanting to and generally making things worse. Now you have wash who is driven and goal oriented and driving the narrative compared to the blood gulch crew who was mostly unwillingly draffed along by the narrative (and now Wash lol).

And the back and forth of the chairmans and the directors letter? The way it gives us crombs and little implication but not really any explanation but as time goes on you can slowly puzzle it all together. The ever growing hostility and intensity of the exchange.  The way it all falls into place at the revelation of the ai. The impact of washs line of “You are the alpha” (and frankly how fucking hilarious churchs reaction was).

The joke about the reds deleting the blues from the database as just something dumb they did that just happened to stop wash from proving church was an ai but actually shaped the story so much. Causing wash to end up in prison because he had nothing to prove his story and argue his case. The fact the unsc couldn’t take epsilon because they didn’t know about caboose. How wash could use that as leverage lately.

And yeah, it does not yet have the same amazing action scenes we get from this one goes to eleven on or anything but damn, the confrontation between wash, the director, the consoler and the meta was still so intense, like goddamit.

The line “And while the law has many penalties for the atrocities we inflict on others, there are no punishments for the terrors that we inflict on ourselves.”? Uff…

And by then, you know, right? But still the absolute gut punch of the seasons final words

Sincerely yours, the former director of Project Freelancer, Doctor Leonard Church.

I know next to nothing about producing music so basically what jeff, clark, meredith, and mark do is literally magic to me

I hope that you understand This skin is too thin to hide The scars that only you can see And every missing part of me...

I’m walking with heavy hands I’m drowning in Heart-shaped cross stitched patterns Made from me to you

This life darling I am through with it Acting nervous when I’m around you (I am through with it) Hurting myself (I am through with it) I’m always bound to wind up sitting next to you in the end (I am through with it)

I wish that you���d understand These arms wish for nothing More than to guide you in my direction Surround you for your protection I cry into heavy hands I don’t deserve another second of your time And frankly I’m surprised That you’re not through with me Acting nervous when I’m around you (I am through with it) Hurting myself (I am through with it) I’m always bound to wind up crying next to you in the end (I am through with it) Seems like I was right And for the first time You’re where I belong In every waking moment This is our song But I can’t find the words to say

There’s a playground with razor sharp edges And love it’s a dangerous mountain to climb I thought that I had the answers to everything But really next to you I am blind

Seems like I was right And for the first time You’re where I belong In every waking moment This is our song But I can’t find the words to say

Seems like I was right And for the first time You’re where I belong In every waking moment This is our song But I can’t find the words to say

Tucker: The bad news is that I started gaining weight and took a pregnancy test and it came back negative so I'm just. Gaining weight, I guess

Tucker: But I told my boyfriend I gained fifteen pounds and he made me come so hard I passed out and couldn't walk for a bit and I think I found the reason I'm gaining weight

The Dream the Doll Girl Dreamed

In the closed garden, I am the only one who is willing true love. That's the answer: You made me this way

Clinging to the name of God, my brain has corrupted. Running in circles. They thin out the seedlings of love. Holding you in my hands, I make flowers bloom filled with sorrow.

The girl (doll) made by that miserable girl (dollmaker) smiles gently, as if she were alive

Samudrartha from Svah Sanishyu Yusuf, Fan, Vinchi, HOYO-MiX

[carpe-mamilia]

You know what show I really hope the ghosts put on while they were all together? HMS Pinafore. Everyone from Fanny onwards most likely knew it reasonably well already, either by cultural osmosis or from being a theatre gay, and for the rest it's probably the easiest operetta to pick up that's ever existed.

I imagine it would have gone down something like this:

Josephine Corcoran- Kitty

Ralph Rackstraw - Thomas

Absolute no-brainers for the lead soprano and tenor. Ralph scores extra points for being one of the most dramatic and flouncy tenors Gilbert ever wrote. At one point he has a speech that's so flowery it's genuinely incomprehensible. Unfortunately his big aria is terribly dull (still in-character tbh) but both of Josephine's are brilliant. Especially "The hours creep on apace", where, having secretly accepted Ralph's proposal, she does waver a bit since, after all, he is a bit of a pleb.

Captain Corcoran - The Captain

Keeps the Pinafore ship-shape and Bristol-fashion. Would have a lovely father-daughter relationship with Josephine. Gets to be in lots of bangin' numbers, especially "I am the Captain of the Pinafore".

Captain: I do my best to satisfy you all -

Crew: And with you we're quite content!

Captain: You're exceedingly polite and I think it's only right to return the compliment.

Sir Joseph Porter - Julian

Marvellously smug and superior patter baritone who got to his lofty position via flattery and luck rather than merit. No direction needed.

Little Buttercup - Fanny

I think she would struggle playing someone who's meant to be lowly, but on the other hand she'd probably really get into every other aspect of the character, especially when she gets to drop mysterious hints all the way through, and dramatically reveal the twist at the end. (She also really reminds me of the mature student who played Little Buttercup for my university's Light Opera Society once, who was very definitely another repressed middle-aged horndog. Get it, girl.)

Cousin Hebe - Mary

Not much of a part, but I suspect getting Mary to concentrate on something like this for any length of time without going off on a tangent would be... tricky. Would be enthusiastic about helping Josephine and might have to be held back from headbutting Captain Corcoran when he tries to stop the elopement.

Dick Deadeye - Robin

Hunched, triangular bass Dick Deadeye growls his way through the opera causing chaos just... 'cos. Is far more perceptive than the Captain and has to really spell out that Josephine and Ralph are planning on running away together.

Bosun's Mate - Humphrey's head

Carpenter's mate and director - Pat

This probably required slightly delicate handling, since Pat is the better singer (and He is an Englishman is harder than it looks), but a) keeping rehearsals from descending into anarchy probably took all his energy and b) Humphrey might have been slightly grumpy being relegated to a really tiny role again. At least they both get to be in A British Tar is a Soaring Soul.

Chorus of sisters, cousins, and aunts - Humphrey's body

Carries the whole show on his back.

I love being a nerd with too much free time because when people start saying any main RVB character is under 35 I can pull out the painstakingly assembled color coded canon timeline. I only do it for this though. My hill

My worst Broadway hot take is that the 2005 CGI animated movie Hoodwinked would make a good stage musical, actually

Finally got a video of my band's performance at the school Christmas concert and I gotta say, it was pretty epic (despite the sound malfunctioning), here's a bit of us playing Five Years!! (I'm the one with the billowy shirt and red tie if you can't tell)
