A ride on a rocky hill 🚲

[alto-tenure]

okay, i promptly passed out for several hours after writing my followup on that post, and then i had to go do the research to understand why you would make such a comparison. but now i'm back.

first of all: really cool musical! thanks for telling me about this album, i might have to download it and make a cd.

second of all: beside the main point here, but ahrima is so masked gentleman randall coded. i love it.

third of all: JESUS CHRIST HOW DARE--

ahem. once upon a time i was seated firmly in the camp that des is the one (1) eligible bachelor who wouldn't take any interest in claire, and the friendship and familial potential there is far more compelling than shoving another suitor in claire's face. alas, once upon a time i was also blissfully unaware of razia's shadow and the story of adakias and anhura.

the falling instantly and madly at first sight. the mutual ambition to break free from the chains of the past and achieve something greater than themselves. the scorn and concern of everyone else who doubts they're perfectly right for each other the way they think they are. the fact that staying together will probably kill them both, and they're too blinded by desire to care.

you're completely right about this comparison and it's so horrible. i still value their friendship a lot but i'm never going to be able to unthink how awful it can truly be now. (<- practically dancing with glee over the angst potential)

also i'm sorry if this means you need a desclaire tag now can we still be friends

you could have just ASKED me I would have been happy to tell you about the niche rock opera mostly well known among people who are either in pretty deep with alternative bands popular in the late 2000s or warrior cats fans of which I am both so

Ahrima and Randall are suuuuuuch Icarus figures and then you have the manipulation of that ambition...Descole as the spider on Randall's shoulder, tearing down what's been built in Randall's name...yeah!!

see, uh. it's been a while since I was taking in the narrative (I have the album saved in my likes and shuffle really likes Genesis and Holy the Sea in particular for whatever reason). I was thinking of Pallas (I mixed up their names) and how for me Claire and Des can only really interact if Hershel is out of the picture in some way. and like Hershel as the one who believes in the inherent goodness of humanity while Des is the one who wants to turn away from it and isolate...and him and Claire both having Hershel in common even though Hershel is gone...

answering my own questions at the bottom for a lark

1. Was there one show that started it all?

well, my experiences with Mormon convinced me to go into MT, and I found my partner that way, so I feel like that deserves a bit of credit these days

2. What is your favourite song to sing along to?

I believe, or Black Tie by Grace Petrie. Imagine 2016 cat listening to NOT musical theatre? Unheard of

3. If you could play ANY role (regardless of gender or appearance) who would you play?

Elder Price. I literally- I would BEG for that role. you’re nonbinary, 2016 cat, btw. not a shock I’m sure

4. Who (real or fictional) is your biggest inspiration?

andrew rannells, mika, my grandmothers, and @pits-of-desclaire

5. You have 2 tickets to any Broadway show. Who do you take with you and what do you see?

claire, and we’re seeing Operation Mincemeat in London because we support original British theatre

6. In a show about your life, who plays you?

If I’m not playing me, what’s the point in all this training????? born for that role

7. Which song do you listen to in order to boost your confidence?

You little shit, you. I know why you put this in. It’s still you & me (but mostly me).

8. You can only watch one TV show for the rest of your life. What do you watch?

choosing between doctor who, good omens and ghosts is hard but doctor who does have the most content, so seems logical

9. Who would you do anything to meet?

currently being apart from my partner is killing me, so not andrew rannells, 2016 cat. even if that’s who’s in your mind

10. What is your fondest memory of the past 6 months?

giggling with my partner at midnight in my student kitchen, eating cereal. they were wearing lovely blue pyjamas

11. Where do you want to live in the future?

a village, not to far from a city but in the countryside. a front yard for the roses and the apple tree and a backyard for the wild lawn and veg patch. enough room for the dog and the 2 cats, and a couple of kids maybe.

Last July I was given the chance to table at PICOF2024, the first in-person philippine international comics festival and it was such a fun and busy event for me and my tablemates!! I made this comic inspired of the submissions in the Kometverse anthology where each artist had 2 pages to work on with either the Komiket or PICOF mascot.

I didn't actually get in Kometverse because we were invited on short notice and way past the deadline for the anthology lmao. I thought to make this anyway for my appreciation!!

The wips!
