#but get this i actually have NO theatre experience

[hole34]

the air hits worse on the half-dried tears on your face when you're 16 years old and you remind yourself with that drowned bit of logic in the back of your brain that you probably won't end up a star on broadway and all your celebrity crushes die to fantasy every second you grow up

Concept for Beyond The Spiderverse; Miles gets his shit rocked by whatever, maybe a heroic sacrifice attempt. O'Hara gets over to him first, and Miles, one (1) inch from death, sees a dark, broad figure in blue above him through the haze of pain and near-death fog, and tells who he thinks is his father that he's sorry and that he loves him.

Cue Miguel "Repressed Catholic Grieving Father Who Was Just Trying To Maim This Child" O'Hara trying to 1; cope with being a dad again, in any capacity, for even a moment, and 2; figure out if he should play along and pretend to be Jefferson, so this child can at least think he's dying in the comfort of his father's presence

costume design, set mockup, and rehearsal photos from this guide to the show that's like really thorough in providing Context like, mini articles about the creators of the original movie, musical, and movie musical, about other versions of productions, the history, quotes of other commentary, interview quotes, context of other / preexisting genres like b movies, faustian stories, "what if a plant was weird" stories, glossary of terms (such as references that may generally be less obscure if you were in the '60s, e.g.), suggested further reading....haven't read it top to bottom but i think it's fantastic, link to the pdf as post source

[annieisyourfavourite]

today might be the day i've been the most uncomfortable and upset at treatment from the trainees, even tho it's not even by far the worst stuff they've said

a man was cutting me off and acting in an accusatory fashion because i was acting tired and "your eyes look droopy". Which, people sometimes question my tired demeanor, but not usually so insultingly and aggressively. And then in the notes after, he said if he was in charge, he would have ordered a urinary test for drugs or medication by the end of the day. Based on meeting me for 15 minutes. And because I was tired at 8:30 in the morning.

Like. Not even close to the most egregious shit someone has said to me in character. But to have him in the debrief be even LESS compassionate and more suspicious of my "abnormalities", even taking into account that I got annoyed at him for asking. Like I'm playing a traumatized person for the scenario. And I, the actor, have many different disabilities related around fatigue. So the fact that he wasn't even listening to me, and couldn't FATHOM any reason why the human being in front of him would be tired and a little slow in the morning.

And then even after explaining that, another woman noted that I had both a coffee cup and a water bottle, and was suspicious as to why I had both, or why I coughed a couple times. And that made me mad enough to log off. I left for lunch after reminding them that the actress in front of them was obviously also a human being with needs, who had been having interviews for almost an hour straight. So I just needed water. Like not everything that someone in CPS does is suspicious!!!!!!

And it's hard, normally I wouldn't log off bc I was mad. But like. I just simply couldn't take it anymore. Like the disrespect of me, the actress, as a person, was so gross. And the inherent suspicion that someone who is tired or speaking slowly or drinking different beverages MUST be hiding something Bad is just. Blech. Usually the interviewers aren't like this but it just felt very ableist and personally dehumanizing

[lonesomedotmp3]

I've literally never disagreed with a take more than this. it's not pretentious or elitist to say that some films are experienced completely differently in the cinema and that it can enhance and transform that experience massively. alien isn't bad because its use of sound and its absence is ten times more effective in a cinema. shut up

fwiw I happily took a three hour flight to see taylor and I'd do it again because people can have fun lmao

The heart wants toxic yuri and drunk calls and drunken confessions but the mind tells me to be a responsible adult living in the real world with a 9-5 😐

[gregmarriage]

i’m so desperately in need of at least like a tiny piece of independence and getting frustrated when i can’t have it. me moving out is so laughable, bc i wouldn’t be able to cope, and it would be too dangerous, and it’s not like i actually have friends, or a partner i could live with (imao). but also, even if i did, it’s like wow, congrats, you’re my built in carer, and you’re gonna get annoyed with me, real fast <3

[devsquared]

Skimmed a book on rehearsal this morning and ran into this fav koan of community theatre directors (and maybe pros too idk):

"Take risks!"

what does that even mean?

we're in a blackbox, Lance, not on K2; we don't even have chairs to trip over. So, probably doesn't mean physical risk. Let's try emotinal. Wait, we're in roles, and let's be honest most characters are pretty much emotionally 3 years old even if they're a thousand: "I fight for [objective], gimme, right now, or I'll DIE." Doesn't matter if the objective is a piece of chocolate, a day off work, avoiding a divorce, or terrorising Gotham, it's always written like, "Either I win or I perish." What's the step up in risk when you're that dramatic and everything is at an emotional fortississimo?

[berrymeter]

i Do want to get a job (i don't WANT to but i need money & let me tell u my art is nottttttt helping me survive) but i genuinely dont know if theres anything i could do except like. data entry i guess. but even then everyones so hellbent on how you need five years of experience & three diplomas bc they cant be fucked giving you proper training so what now

[marxism-transgenderism]

From the ages of 14-18 I went to rocky horror live performances that a local group did monthly pretty regularly. It was supposed to be 18+ but nobody gave a shit. I still have a pic of me getting a crazy lap dance from some 30something divorced dude. Fun story until you remember I was 15.

I started going pre coming out as transfem and kept going well after. Some others came once or twice but there was only one other trans girl who regularly went. She was very nice to me. She occasionally said some self hating things that a lot of transfems say at one point or another, especially when isolated. But she was a light to me in that place.

I got preyed on there a couple of times. Men and women. Nothing really happened as far as I can remember but I endured behavior I shouldn't have. And I kept coming back.

I have some good memories. A lot actually. It was one of the few places I could experiment with makeup and women's clothes. I made a lot of friends there and brought many too. I still remember nearly all the shout alongs. But it still fucked me up. Pretty much my only model for transfemininity was the tim curry transvestite rapist alien written by a transmisogynistic theymab who's songs we were singing.

I don't really have a point to this other than i hate the discourse surrounding the movie. I hate the lauding of it as a fundamental queer classic like it's something we all need to uphold and protect and not just a bad movie a bunch of mostly white theatre freaks formed groups to shout along at. I hate that the praise it receives by tme people and the dismissal of any criticism makes it so the only practical position that transfems can take is this sucks and you should quit bringing it up.

The way people talk about it you'd assume it's one of the most liberatory pieces of media of all time. But i came up in that type of space and I gotta tell you it's not much different—both in terms of the rampant transmisogyny and the acceptance of gender non conformity—than the experience i had at an official queer youth group non profit that kept up a clean look or the stories I've heard from those who came up in gay bars at an older age than I did. Its really not that special.

What to look for when it comes to your next partner?

Pile 1

Hi Pile 1! Okay so this may feel a little shallow but here me out, for you a big point is going to be physical and sexual attraction. Your next relationship is supposed to teach you how to be more in touch with your sexual self, and that's why you need to look for someone who ignites that fire within your core. You should also look for someone who's actually in for the commitment because you may have a habit of going for people who are non committal because you may feel like if you keep it casual you'll seem cool to your partner and they may like you more, no, stop it, look for people who value you the way you value them.

Next, you need to look for someone who has a lot of experience with relationships, not a player per day but just someone who knows what they want and when they want it and operate in that way. Even when people know what they want, they can change partners and don't let that deter you from people with a lot of exes, it doesn't mean that they have commitment issues it just means that they may want different things at different times and may have had the guts to cut it off with people.

Lastly you need to look for someone who's not going to be wishy washy with you and will meet you at the same level of headstrong you are, because your stubbornness may not be cute but when paired with your next partners stubbornness it will end up leading to a perfect balance of two headstrong people who can fight all day but actually come to a conclusion or find a middle ground the both of you respect.

Pile 2

Hi Pile 2! This might sound Counterintuitive but you need to find someone for your next relationship who may feel open enough to disagree with you. You may be used to being around people who often share the same opinion with you, which is good, but someone who challenges your views will make for not only a more fun opponent but also someone whose views you can change or vice versa. I'm also getting that one quality that you should look for is that they share the same love for music or dance as you, basically the same love of the performing arts, this includes theatre/acting as well. I'm getting that your next partner may be someone who's very interested in this, especially into cinema.

They could be a film bro (gender neutral) and may love yapping for hours about their favourite film and the compositions, colours, lighting, music etc used in the film and how those aspects enhance the overall viewing experience of the film, they could be very active on letterbox lol. I'm also getting that one aspect you should look for in your next partner is transparency, it may sound like honesty but it is different because transparency signifies that this person will not only be honest but also take accountability if they ever go wrong somewhere and this level of accountability will build up a stronger bond and start healing the trust issues you may have from your past friendships and your relationships with your parents, because someone close to you will finally not only accept they did something wrong but also apologise and accept that.

Lastly! Look for someone who doesn't put you down, like even subtly. You may have had friends or partners in the past who may have been like "omg fr? that's so weird haha" even as a joke when it comes to your interests, but look for someone who will not put you down regardless of differing interests please I Beg.

Pile 3

Hellooo pile 3! Hyperspecific point from the very start, look for someone who knows the value of spirituality and crystals and stones that you may carry or wear on you at all times. If they even try to question your beliefs about spirituality that is not your next partner trust me. Your next partner is going to be someone who will share your interests and be on the same wavelength as you when it comes to spirituality, tarot and more.

One thing you need to look for in your next partner is that they may have a bit of an isolated or loner vibe, like they may not be big on huge gatherings and could be more introverted, they'll really appreciate their alone time and could be someone who does not divulge in PDA a lot, not only because they're shy but also because they'll believe that your business is just your business (in the rs I mean). Regardless of this they'll be someone who's very focused and goal oriented, your next partner is someone who's ready to sacrifice their comfort in the present to focus on their goals and work towards them relentlessly, they'll also be the kind of people who will let go of any comfort just to make you feel more comfortable, the kind to give you the bed and take the floor instead if there's only one bed and you don't wanna sleep together, very gentle and caring.

They'll just have this aura which screams "I welcome you and I understand" and that is exactly the kind of energy you need in your life right now. Lastly, I heard "duniya dedi" which translates to "gives you the world" so all I have to say is y'all better raise your standards and KEEP THEM RAISED!! YOU DESERVE THE BEST AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'LL GET KISSI <33
