#but there’s a lot going on in there atm

[libra-cant-just-dance]

Last song: It’s not letting me see the last song but it was something from The Beatles LOVE album (Cirque mention #1)

Last movie: Might’ve been Deadpool and Wolverine actually? Dang I haven’t watched a movie in a while. But if cirque proshots count as movies, then it’s Amaluna (Cirque mention #2)

Last TV Show: Rupaul’s Drag Race season 5

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: Probably sweet? I can’t handle spicy and in 23 years of living I still do not understand what savory means

Relationship Status: I have a partner and they’re the best partner in the whole world

Last thing I googled: Kooza (Cirque mention #4). In my defense, I’m seeing it again this weekend so I keep going to check things on the website

Current Obsessions: Still Cirque (Cirque mention #5) and Just Dance. Probably more Cirque than JD atm, cuz I look at Cirque stuff all day for a paycheck and JD25 “lore” has disappointed me. Oh wait also Cookie Run Kingdom. I’ve been watching and thinking about drag race a lot but idk if I’d call that an obsession. Also bringing back my Animorphs era.

Looking forward to: Driving out to California today to see Kooza (Cirque mention #6 oh god stop me) 2 or 3 more times this weekend! Favorite show!! Also flying back to see my family for Thanksgiving next weekend, which I can not WAIT for because living alone in a state where you don’t know anyone for six months has been ROUGH

I once again don’t know who to tag so uhhhhh do it if you want to

ten people i'd like to get to know better

tagged by: @megkuna thanks <333

last song: the phantom of the opera

favorite color: muted green

last book: uhhhhhh oh man i really need to start reading books

last movie: phantom of the opera which i watched with a friend

last tv show: the original star trek which i also watched with a friend

sweet/spicy/savory: sweet, i love sugar too much

relationship status: single and not looking, i'd rather just have more friends

last thing i googled: "how to know if skincare routine is too harsh" my pimples hurt in a Different way now :(

oh I adore Marble!! Tell me EVERYTHING!! Would this be considered an AU in any way or just far far post canon? Does he go on any epic quest of her own?

A bit of both!

Like always with things I make there's no story or lore atm but there might be in the future!!

I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with the island of the North or something with a Icarus themed

Like

But nothing set in stone

Random facts Hmmm

- Sometime before Marble was born Siffrin woke up in a cold sweat and a massive headache cause he remembered the name of one of the planets was like "MIRA WRITE THIS DOWN WRITE THIS DOWN"

-Her parents consist of Isabeau (pa), Siffrin(baba)and Mirabelle(ma). Mira is isa's soul mate AND Siffrin's feelings buddy, I REFUSE to separate them

-Yes he does everywhere in his pajama pants and socks. If he REALLY needs to wear shoes they're normally slippers

- Other than her family Marble is quiet shy and doesn't interact much with others. This worries Siffrin and Isabeau a LOT for several in game spoiler reasons.

-Took his family's boat and tries to sail to the island of the north once

Okay so in an attempt to focus on the positives, here are some bullet points of what I remember from the Greg Doran & David Tennant Shakespeare talk the other week.

Touchstone was DT's first Shakespeare part and As You Like It was the Shakespeare play he first remembers being interested in as there was a tour of it that went to his school.

A licence was needed to be able to use André Tchaikowsky's skull for Hamlet as he had died within the last 100 years old. DT dropped it during dress rehearsal the first time they used it and a bit broke off. Luckily they were able to fix it as it was a cheek(?) bit that had fallen out and could be put back in.

DT did a fair impression of both Sir Ian McKellen and (I think?) Al Pacino (I think this was in reference to 'Looking for Richard'??)

DT felt a lot of pressure in relation to Hamlet to the point that he was curled up in the foetal position before going on and had to be talked out of it by the speech assistant

They hold 'gyms' during the rehearsal period where they go through the play line by line to make sure everyone understands what they're saying. They might have discussions about it if there's not consensus.

GD thinks Love's Labour's Won (the lost play) is Much Ado About Nothing. DT countered this (to much laughter) with the plot of DW S3 Ep2. There was clearly a large Whovian contingent in attendance.

I've mentioned this elsewhere but they talked about other productions of Macbeth and GD mentioned one he'd seen with the following joke in the Porter scene: "Knock knock" "Who's there?" "Tom" "Tom who?" "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow" DT said he wouldn't tell Jatinder or he'd use it that evening

DT's least favourite Shakespeare is The Taming of the Shrew, I think GD demurred on this. Both said favourite is always the one you're currently working on. So Macbeth atm.

The talked about intervals and how Shakespeare didn't really have them - the crowd would be standing and some scenes were built in as a break. Some plays lose momentum if an interval is place in (Macbeth was cited). It can be a bit of a challenge choosing where to place one and they mentioned how in their Vers of Hamlet they put the interval mid-line to shake up expectations etc.

They talked a bit about iambic pentameter and how it's not as important as purists might have you believe. Shakespeare started having thoughts cross lines as he got older - perhaps to help the actors?

They talked about the challenges of such well-known plays and creating suspense etc. Some of the lines are problematic and how as a director, you're not an academic so if it doesn't work you can cut them!

DT mentioned Iago (among others) as a character he still wanted to play [🙏🙏🙏pls & ty]

One of the questions was about how his Shakespeare performances informed his part in Rivals. The response was that Jilly Cooper and Shakespeare actually have a lot in common in that they understand how humans act and wouldn't shy away from bawdiness etc.

They did mention Richard III a fair amount but the specifics aren't coming to mind

They talked about reviews and how you can dismiss the bad ones but if you do that then you can't really take only the good ones to heart. My friend noted that this topic was the only time GD looked slightly uncomfortable during the talk but I can't say I noticed that.

I didn't actually write notes at the time so I'm sure I missed a bunch, but my other take away from this was how charismatic and naturally funny DT came across.

so if your most recent post at the time of me responding to this is correct, you're like, 14 (and if I'm reading that post wrong and you're older, oops), so I don't want to put you on blast or nothing and I'm not mad, but I think you're a bit misinformed. christianity did evolve from judaism. jesus was a jew and he initially lead a sect of judaism, and then paul came along like 40 years after jesus's death and really got christianity going. they are different religions though, and in practice, we don't worship the same god. christians worship jesus. they praise jesus and pray to jesus and thank jesus. jews do not do that because our gd is not jesus, jesus is just some guy to me.

a lot of jews on this site have a bone to pick with christianity, which isn't my argument to make or anything, since atm I don't have a bone to pick with christianity itself. like I think my americaness is overriding everything else for now because I value religious freedom, like, actual religious freedom to practice your religion in peace, not freedom to discriminate against people, more. any arguments that seek to invalidate a religion skeeze me out because in practice it won't be the christians who are denied their religious freedom.

historically, however, christians have done some shit to jews, man. like the inquisition?? like all the antisemitism in europe ever? muslims have also done some shit to jews. in practice every group who lives alongside jews is antisemitic. like society is just antisemitic, man.

you're saying "just get along" to a tiny, persecuted minority, and the majority in power that has persecuted them for thousands of years. it don't work like that.

crazy how 2,000 years of being fed "jews are untrustworthy two faced liars" will make people instinctively think jews are liars and have their gut reaction to jews talking about judaism be "assume they're lying." or maybe these are two unrelated phenomena that have no impact on each other and the gentile instinct to distrust the jew has nothing to do with thousands of years of antisemitism they've internalized.

Ngl I've not picked up Nandor x the Guide AT ALL in the show. Maybe others have different interpretations of the text. But I only first heard about it on tumblr from a source outside of the show. It'd feel cheap. Like I don't think Nandor or the Guide have had a one on one scene together in a while. Atm with what we've seen, if that's the conclusion for Nandor then that'd be disappointing. But part of me doubts that's the conclusion. They have been setting up Guillermo and Nandor so much that it'd be bad writing to not give a good conclusion to them. Whether it is they get together or go through a final break up.

(If you ship them, that's fine. This is more targeted at how I've seen a lot of people talk about it being set up in contrast to what I've actually watched in the show.)
