Title: Of Unicorns And Green Jackets

Characters: Mamoru and Chibu-Usa. Or, Darien and Rini. Pretend SM is set in America, guys. Just bear with me here!

It started with a school supplies sale at Staples, the type where beleaguered parents flocked to around August armed with massive lists written on pastel stationery for very specific supplies that their little darlings just COULDN'T be without that year. Never mind that he'd just bought half a dozen three ring binders eight months ago. Never mind that there was no EARTHLY (pun intended) reason he just HAD to get three more, because the other six were boring black, and this teacher wanted red, blue and yellow ones. Darien drew his favorite green jacket closer around himself and let Rini drag him up one aisle and down another, and envisioned his credit card screaming like a 15 year old babysitter in a horror movie. 

"DADDY! WE NEED FOLDERS AND STICKERS!! HERE!!" Rini none-too-gently slapped a collection of pocket folders and stickers into his chest in eye popping shades of mauve and turquoise and bubblegum pink. They were emblazoned with the name "Lisa Frank" and looked like some psychedelic menagerie of ponies and unicorns pooping rainbows and butterflies and fairies had a serious run-in with an Alice-in-Wonderland level acid trip. The whole effect was rather horrifying, but of course Rini was charmed. Big sparkly eyes and all. And the list, which had been specific to the point of OCD for everything else, merely said "5 pocket folders. 2 packs of award stickers". Traitor. 

"It's...colorful." He sounded about as enthused as a car insurance underwriter. Rini pouted, lip trembling, and he acquiesced. No point in causing a scene in the middle of the store. They finished grabbing everything off the list and checked out, and he was just hitting the unlock button on his key fob when he heard the rustle of paper followed by a light slap on his chest. Now, one of the sparkly unicorn monstrosities adorned his jacket. It was the most hideous thing he'd ever seen, and he'd punctured a giant maggot-like youma with a rose in his teens to utterly horrifying, slimy effect.

"YOU DID GOOD, DADDY! YOU GET A STICKER!" The future King of the world forces a smile, which becomes genuine as he looks into her shining eyes. "I guess I did. Let's get some ice cream."

Event | A Conversation with David Henry Hwang and Julie Taymor

This free public event will take place on Monday, October 30 at Housing Works Bookstore Cafe.

Join New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) on Monday, October 30 for a special conversation between David Henry Hwang (Fellow in Playwriting/Screenwriting ‘85) and Julie Taymor (Fellow in Performance Art/Emergent Forms '89). Taymor is directing the first Broadway revival of Hwang’s Tony Award-winning M. Butterfly, starring Clive Owen and in previews beginning October 10. The two arts luminaries will talk about their collaboration, careers, the state of the theater industry, and more in a conversation moderated by Susan Haskins (Fellow in Performance Art/Emergent Forms ‘90), co-host of “Theater Talk” on PBS.

M. Butterfly will feature the spectacular sets, thrilling choreography, and dazzling stagecraft. Inspired by a true scandal, this story is about an illicit affair between a French diplomat and a Chinese opera diva whose secrets lie deep beneath the surface. 

Title: A Conversation with David Henry Hwang and Julie Taymor Date and Time: Monday, October 30, 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM Location: Housing Works Bookstore Cafe, 126 Crosby Street, New York, NY 10012 Cost: Free and open to the public; RSVP to development@nyfa.org

Best concert ever was fob in 2015 when they came to Darien lake and I highfived Patrick and I CRIED

I honestly would have died on the spot if that were me probs

[wavernot4love]

before i crash i just want to say: fob are finally so so real to me now and that is everything, somewhat like i said in a post earlier today, in regards to my perception of music. the closer i feel to it, the more it means to me. that's how i am, from growing up in the scene.

from patrick commenting endearingly on our lil pit to looking up at both him and pete constantly smiling in our direction (and in response to the crowd/show in general) to the band just existing happily and proudly in front of me (think the end of srar where they all sing along) to one specific moment where fake out started & me and someone near me pulled out our seashells and turned our flashlights on IMMEDIATELY before most folks really caught on and patrick kinda looked from one of us to the other & smiled to finally getting up close to pete for saturday (right under him pretty much!) & being able to fingerpoint right up at him to this song that means so much to me and to have him see it and understand.

for nine years i never had this experience. and even at that first show in july 2014, i didn't experience things in the way i have this past week. i didn't know the fob songs i do now, they didn't hold the meaning they do now, and also i was back aways, not in the pit where, frankly, i belong.

this band and these shows are very very special to me

[wavernot4love]

in the wake of tourdust ending i compiled the different lil doodles i turned into stickers to bring to my different shows :]

did you find me at toronto/darien/camden?

[stumpgirl]

I fucking live for this man's jiggle. When he stomps his leg and makes that belly bounce....there's nothing better than that. Sexiest man alive. The bugs were eating him up that night cause he's so sweet

[stumpgirl]

Poor thing 🍆 has to be so sore from all that bouncing and thrusting. I'd love to lotion it up 🥵

[stumpgirl]

JIGGLES 😍. The chick that screamed (not me) messed him up

[stumpgirl]

I'm so weak for this man 🥺
