Day 12: Christian Borle

This is from 2009.

More information in Keep Reading.

It started as a book series…

The "Starcatchers" books by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson...

...are an unauthorized series reboot that was published by Hyperion Books (a subsidiary of Disney) in the US and by Walker Books in the UK.

The first book is Peter and the Starcatchers (2004). Set on a ship called Never Land featuring Peter and an earlier group of Lost Boys. In 2005, the publisher announced plans for Disney to adapt the book as a digitally animated movie. Second and third are Peter and the Shadow Thieves (2006) and Peter and the Secret of Rundoon (2007). The fourth book is Peter and the Sword of Mercy (2009), where twenty-three years since Peter and the Lost Boys returned from Rundoon. The Bridge to Never Land (2011), is an expanded part and fifth book where a pair of siblings, Sarah and Aidan Cooper drawn from the modern world as they follow clues left by an ancient coded document. The "Never Land Books" by Dave Barry, Ridley Pearson, and Greg Call (ill.), is a series of unauthorized spin-off chapter books. Based on the continuity established by the "Starcatchers" novels, for a younger audience. The books are: Escape from the Carnivale (2006), Cave of the Dark Wind (2007) and Blood Tide (2008).

Captain Hook becomes this…

In the novel Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, Captain Hook is distinguished by halitosis, beady black eyes, a pock-marked face, and perpetual filth of his person and surroundings contrasting strongly with J. M. Barrie's Etonian gentleman. The novel, which takes place before the Captain meets Peter Pan, calls Hook "Black Stache" for his prominent moustache, and his ship is called the Sea Devil; he captures the Jolly Roger, originally a British ship called the Wasp, later. Black Stache is renamed "Captain Hook" in the second instalment, Peter and the Shadow Thieves. In Barry and Pearson's book, his left hand is accidentally cut off by Peter.

But then it got adapted into a musical/play….

The first book, "Peter and the Starcatchers" was adapted into a play similarly titled "Peter and the Starcatcher" winning several Tony awards. It debuted in the winter of 2009 at La Jolla Playhouse as part of an arrangement with Disney Theatrical. It was re-staged Off-Broadway in 2011 and opened on Broadway on April 15, 2012, at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre.

Captain Hook was made into this…

In Rick Ellis' theatrical adaptation of the Barry-Pearson novel, Black Stache (portrayed in the original production by Christian Borle, who won a Tony Award for the role) is a witty, poetical, but psychotic pirate prone to malapropisms and the occasional pratfall. Similar to the Disney film character, Black Stache resembles both a dangerous villain and a comic buffoon. The last of a line of villains, he seeks to become a great villain by fighting a great hero and finds one in Peter. His hand is cut off not by Peter, but accidentally severed when he slams the lid of a trunk in a fit of rage.

I am very disappointed in the creators.

But there is also this one...

Black Stache: A highly intelligent but malapropism-prone pirate chief, so-called due to the black mustache that is a trademark in his family. In search of a great hero who he can oppose to become a great villain, Stache is given to scenery chewing and anachronistic jokes and has a hook in his future. The name ‘Black Stache’ is a reference to the pirate Blackbeard.

Blackbeard will be mentioned in another Inktober.

At least the actor has blue eyes….but there is nothing else in Barrie's character here...just the mustache from which he gets his name.

Anyways, here are the play trailers and at the Tony awards….

"And I bet your milkshake brings all the boys to the yard but I'm not interested!" is the best.

There needs to be a scientific study done on how Rockstar Games' Arthur Morgan is able to provoke the most earth shattering emotions I didn't even know I had in me

#you guys get me right #like you feel it deep in your chest #the joy the anguish the grief #it feels like words aren't enough #and I don't mean it as in “sad moment in video game makes you sad”#I mean it as in “a deep and well written moment that has been slowly building is fleshed out in a video game and I think about for weeks”#when I say I lose sleep over this game I really mean it #I spend hours just laying in bed thinking about everything that happens in arthur morgan's life #it eats at me #I'm not ashamed of how much I have cried over this game #it fucking gets to me #playing rdr2 is the best form of escapism until the story hits you like a stab in the chest but the blade just pushes in further and further #until you're left with a gaping wound #“wow michael I didn't know you were so emotional over pixels on a screen”#except those pixels were acted out and performed by real people and voiced by real people and designed to look like real people #the game's main target was historic realism emphasis on REALISM #to provoke emotions through amazing storytelling #it's okay to feel strongly about things!!#this game man #this game #rdr2 #red dead redemption 2 #mick squeaks #mick thinks #arthur morgan #red dead redemption 2 spoilers

benedick challenging claudio to a duel, 2011 version vs the 2001 radio play version

#much ado about nothing #david tennant #much ado #ws #i love both of these because benedick is being played with two different moods (maturity vs anger) but both of them work so well #in the 2011 version they really lean into benedick being ostracized by don pedro and claudio. he is no longer 'one of the guys'#he's angry but also cool and rational and dead serious in extremely stark contrast to claudio who thinks he's telling some joke #and it's a sharp left turn from the silly goofy cringeloserclown of a man he was at the beginning of the play #in the 2001 version he's more brimming with fury and it sounds like he's on the verge of strangling claudio right there #like this interpretation of him overall is much more the battle hardened cynical soldier that is ready to throw down and we see that here #and the image it conveys of him walking up to claudio and snarling the challenge in his ear is sooooo. God i am not your strongest soldier

Musical Touken Ranbu: Michinooku ~ Hitotsu Hachisu (Michinooku ~ A Single Lotus)

Here we go! Only a few days after the archive release and toumyu's ninth anniversary (congratulations!)

Michioku, or Michihasu, is a myu I have many conflicting feelings about, both positive and negative. However, I do believe that with the right amount of care in the next Mika-related story myu, the negative can still be cleared. Plus, I'm glad about a lot of things being re-established. The writer does need to step up her game a little on the plot-writing side of things, as well as the understanding-and-respecting-past-myu side of things, but as long as she does, this can still be given a proper place within what was already established.

Keep in mind that these are only the subtitle files, timed and tled to the DMM senshuuraku and the bluray respectively. The archive version will have a talk at the start, so the starting times of the subs will have to be delayed accordingly.

You can find the subtitles and my TL notes document here!

#touken ranbu #toumyu #water's translations #michioku #michihasu #how do I put this #seeing as myu's director Kayano has said in an interview right before Michioku that Kogi and Mika have a special bond #different from other swords-- and then they try to speedrun *Tsuru* and Mika having a what feels like it was intended to be #even greater relationship using a song called Kage Futatsu where KOGI'S signature song from Utaawase was Futatsu no Kage???#I SINCERELY want to believe it's incompetence rather than the writer deliberately pulling the rug from under Kogi's feet #bc the alternative is just cruel #I don't particularly mind the relationship Mika and Tsuru have in this play but I feel that not for a moment Kogi and kara respectively #were considered in the writing #anyway my final verdict is that this myu is what too many people think tsuwa is: the divorce myu (between Mika and Tsuru this time)#in all cases I hope myu can bring Shirakawa Yuki in again like with Datemyu just to offload myu's already deathly busy writer (she's done #5 myus in a month before which is just insane) because I feel this just isn't sustainable with the amount of carefulness a long-running #franchise like myu demands and the *writing* quality (not the production quality AT ALL Michioku's is great) is suffering for it.#like sure Michioku is loaded with references but they're references that either don't serve *Michioku's own* plot or their treatment shows #a lack of understanding of the work it's referencing-- for example Kashuu calling upon atsu's “This is how the shinsengumi fights!” actuall #goes completely contrary to the lesson he's supposed to have learned from atsuibun: that swords aren't disposable and that he has duties as #both soldier (captain in atsu) and as COMRADE and he makes the (already highlighted in Michioku!) dumb decision of butting in without #thinking-- and with that framed against manba's breaking trauma as well! He's supposed to have learned to stay rational and consider both #duties yet here he is ---BECAUSE of the reference--- completely leaning on the pre-atsu-development side of the scale #as if Ishi's words went one ear in one ear out. And yes the scene by itself could've worked as a subversion to show Kashuu makes the #'irrational' decision against what Ishi taught him to consider precisely because he cares for the people he's protecting but there is NO #groundwork laid at all for that in the rest of Michioku! This is what I mean with the carelessness of the references and the lack of #consideration for what prior myus were trying to SAY and ACHIEVE which is insane because she was the lyricist for those #it's more a collage of feelings provided through a set of characters calling back to the scripts of prior myu rather than #a story that evokes feelings bc the humans in it walk forward and act upon-- interact with-- the scenery on the road as left by prior human

learning abt friendship decay and "not reaching out to your friends for months at a time unprompted is not neurotypical behaviour" has me feeling a certain way

#experiencing some BIG FEELINGS OVER THIS REVELATION #listen i have never ever been bothered abt not seeing someone in a while or making time to talk to them bc in my mind its like not thst muc #time has passed. i mean it with every fibre of my being that when im like 'oh its ok even though we havent talked in a while and have our #own things going on it doesnt mean we're not friends anymore since we left things on a good note 8 months ago' i sincerely believe that #and for the longest time i just thought everybody makes peace with it at some point and not automatically assuming the other person doesnt #wanna talk to me anymore or smth. my longest lasting friendships are with ppl who work the same way i just thouhght that was normal #whatever organ everybody has that makes them reach out to their friends and plan hang outs i probably dont have it #i was already hesitant to ask out Alex bc i spend almost every waking hour doing smth that isnt talking to ppl unless they happen to be in #the vicinity. and at first it was bc i planned on making sure i had everything set up so i dont get stressed out and do it one at a time #but then i find out theres a friendship decay mechanic? and after dating and marrying someone you lose -10 friendship points for every #day u dont talk to them?? actually ive probably been losing friendship points this whole time without knowing bc of this?????#and i notice a lot of my own habits are also reflected in how i play bc ive been avoiding getting close to pierre and marnie since its more #of a professional relationship. like i know theyre npcs but im approaching it the way i would in real life its fucking nuts #i think its a little relieving im playing /as/ a character than myself bc as im playing im just making up little interactions in my head #than approaching things the way i would myself so it takes a bit of the stress off trying to put myself in there as a spectator. but well #being in a relationship demands a certain amount of energy even more so when theyre things that already take up energy on its own #like making time to talk to your partner and make sure they know theyre loved. i dont always have energy to put all my mental focus into it #and this is true for real life so im not really bothered by not dating anyone. but when its a game and i want my character to be with someo #and i know its fully optional and i know i could just apply the same logic to this i dont /want/ to. sometimes i want to experience #the same things other people do at least to a certain degree without the same emotional andmental stakes #no offense krobus #yapping #stardew #stardew valley #puppy plays sdv #sdv #this game has me by the ankles man

sculpted a strange shimmery two headed snail, speckled with wild flowers on it's shell~

#sculpture #snail #fantasy art #I have never sculpted or even drawn a snail before #so hopefully the anatomy is not incredibly off #(though if so.. I guess it could also just pass as further Strange Magical Mutations lol)#It doesn't show up as well in the photo but the shell has some irridescent eyeshadow on it so it kind of alternates a little warm #red and teal as you move it.#Made for an art contest on a game that I play lol (I wouldnt normally think to sculpt a snail on my own if it werent part of a #prompt) but I do kind of like the way it came out.. sort of..#Perhaps a real creature that exists in Nanyevimi (my worldbuilding setting) in some capacity then.. hrmm #also in relevance to this blog i DO STILL WANT TO finish the story with the little adventurer... goursh I have just had so much going on..#all of my little side projects like that have fallen away for so long. I really want his advneture to reach a tiny conclusion though #And shout out to that one person that always reblogged them and left nice comments in the tags also.. :'3 #Poll Adventures.... not over... simply was on temporary evil hiatus due to Me Feeling Sick Constantly All Summer and so on and so forth #aughhh.. woe and agonyyy *dramatically drops to my knees in the middle of a rain storm like some tragic movie scene #kneeling into the cold earth as i cradle the half-living bodies of all of my half-finished creative projects in my arms*#ANYWAY... lol..... erm.. snail time

#i think this scene plays really well with the magician manga because that revealed the interactions yosuke had with kou and daisuke before #yosuke thought of them as being weirdly friendly but he hadn't realised he left a good impression on them #he thinks more pessimistically about all the people who think of him as a disappointment than the people who think positively of hin #i think part of it was also yosuke's reluctance and struggle with forming real friendships in Inaba #and also yeah im just gonna say it i thought this was leading up to a double date and that is what i choose to believe #p4 #persona 4 #p4g #persona 4 golden #hanamura yosuke #yosuke hanamura #narukami yu #he's good with his queue

i feel like the thor movies should have explored more about how the other realms hate Asgard and it's not all because of Odin because Bor also killed off basically the entire race of dark elves with the bifrost beam and that came back to bite them as much as Hela did

#i feel like more consequences generations back should have occurred #like yeah Odin DID kill damage Muspelheim bad and now the guy wants to destroy Asgard. OBVIOUSLY???#yeah the jotun want their casket back and want Odin dead the man literally destroyed their realm?? and left it to slowly die off????#Vanaheim should've been shown more I reckon since that one sounds like slightly less simple murder happened #since the vanir are alive and ally-ish #nidavellir must've had such a sad relationship with asgard too even before thanos showed up #should've had Eitri leave an antiThor comment fr #like he attacked them before realising it's Thor? oh well. should've attacked after too #gg #everyone should hate Asgard and I think that should've played a larger role in Asgard being destroyed #because the people left were not the ones involved in the imperialism era but they absolutely were benefitting and all #Thor trying to do better should have been more than a framing decision it should have been difficult for him to do #continuing on from TDW

It wouldn’t be a good thing and would certainly throw a catastrophic wrench in everything but the next 12-15 hours would be the absolute funniest time for Joe Biden to go on tv and say “actually I’m a Trump supporter now, after hearing about all this for so long I’ve come around to it and think I’m voting MAGA 😎”

#us politics #politics tw #joe biden #it would be catastrophic for both sides #since democrats would freak out about their sitting president switching teams against his VP #and the message that sends #while republicans would lose their minds after saying Biden is literally incompetent and terrible for years #and they’ve said he’s cognitively impaired and can’t make good decisions #so what are they gonna do if the decision he’s making is THEIR guy and suddenly they’re on the same team #literally I think this may be the Everybody Loses scenario that torches the election #but since it’s such a confusing curveball both sides are too shell shocked to know what to do #everybody loses except for Joe Biden #who gets to come out of this as The Funniest Motherfucker Alive #and walk away from the explosion with sunglasses on as Dark Brandon for real #saying ‘I bet you thought I didn’t have any role left to play in the election they pushed me out of’#‘well GUESS AGAIN; jack 😎🍦’

it is completely fine to have different interpretations of a character, that is what the fun is all about. but if you honest to goodness believe that emmr*ch expresses any form of commitment phobia in regards to romantic love… then idk what to tell you

#once again i am left thinking: did we play the same game??????#trying so hard not to be mean about this but #imagine writing an entire essay and the conclusion you come to is that emmrich is a romantic chaser/performative #that has actually been gamophobic all along #emmrich’s fear of death is all-consuming and not something to be reasoned with (he says so himself directly)#by this extension this overwhelming fear would naturally apply to romantic love as well #that is the very sentiment he is trying to express during the argument #this isn’t him trying to break up with rook cause suddenly romance is So WeVYy sCaWYyy #it is him trying to explain - urging them to listen - what this relationship means to him #he is now terrified FOR THEM in addition to his own fears. afraid of burdening them with his own passing #just as he is afraid of mourning rook in turn #his very core fear will always tie back to death #him trying to woo rook during the beginning stages of their relationship is merely him testing the waters #seeing if the feeling is indeed reciprocated. you know. as a man in his age and with his intellect would #‘love’ isn’t the elephant in the room here #it speaks #fandom critical #veilguard spoilers
