#good cast 👍

Just saw the Percy Jackson musical at my local community theater. It was very good. The entire time my mom kept making jokes I don't understand, but that's what I get when I go to something she loves. Regardless it was a good show and the cast was amazing, good job [redacted] Community Theater.

i think sonic would actually really like the phrase "live laugh love" but not bc he likes the aesthetic that it usually belongs to, or is anything like the people who would hang those signs in their house. he would just see it somewhere w no context and think wow live laugh love? that's what i do!! and he would unironically say it bc it DOES fit him. like he would graffiti tag it around the city

Ok I'll bite. What is kageki shoujo about

(I did look it up! It's just that imo those synopses tend to be misleading or incomplete in one way or another... If you wouldn't mind, then asking someone is better)

i'd love to explain!!!

have you heard about takarazuka revue? it is an all-female japanese theater troupe founded in the 1910s that perform extravagant broadway-like musicals, where both female (musume-yaku) and male (otoko-yaku) roles are played by women. it's a counterpart of sorts to kabuki, a classic form of japanese theater where only men are allowed to perform.

most of their productions are adapted from western literature or manga, and their most iconic play is based on the rose of versailles, a manga about the french revolution. our protagonist in kageki shoujo is sarasa, a 15 year old girl whose dream is to be the main character in that play. and to achieve that, she joins the troupe's boarding school to learn theater! though in this anime takarazuka is named kouka for some reason

and if you've read synopses you might have also heard about sarasa's counterpart and other main character, ai, a girl who was forced to quit her idol group after a scandal and enrolled the school as well. the show focuses on these two, but also their classmates and some seniors. the characters all have really interesting and developed storylines, i really enjoyed that aspect of it

so, to sum it up, kageki shoujo is a slice of life drama manga about a musical theater school! the anime is a really good adaptation too that i definitely recommend checking out. adds build up in just the right places and everyone's singing voices are wonderful, even if it cuts out some things here and there. really really good piece of media as a whole

^ the main girls!!!

extra yet important note: if you look up the manga, you'll notice there is kageki shoujo: the curtain rises and kageki shoujo!!. you have to read curtain rises first, they're separate mangas because there were some magazine publishing problems. the anime is titled kageki shoujo!!

however! and this is important: while this manga is mostly a shoujo, the curtain rises was originally published at a seinen magazine. because of that difference in target audience, the curtain rises treats some darker and much more sensitive themes, such as csa and eating disorders. while well-handled, it's still rough to read so take care! the rest of the series is much nicer.

After playing a few rounds of Woo-Hoo?, Iseul gets up and offers a hand to Megan. “Shall we?” She says, and Megan smiles and takes it, getting up from the loveseat. Iseul pulls her close, and Megan blushes as she feels Iseul’s heart racing through their clasped hands and sees the warm look in Iseul’s dark eyes. Iseul puts one hand securely on Megan’s back, and they start swaying to the soft romantic music. Megan’s reminded of the day they got married, it was a simple courthouse wedding but it was so beautiful and the best day of Megan’s life. She’d worn a pretty white dress and Iseul wore a suit, and they’d said their vows, both of them so emotional as they’d looked into each other’s eyes, and kissed. They had their first dance an hour later, at Iseul’s parents’ house, and had swayed together in each other’s arms and were blissful. Megan knew then that she would be happy to spend the rest of her life with Iseul. Now, years later, she still feels the same, and although she and Iseul have been married for a bit and things aren’t as woohoo crazy or romantic all the time now, it’s been a steady and consistent love. She feels at home with Iseul whether they’re in Copperdale in their own house or a cabin in Windenburg or anywhere in the world. “Love you, Issy,” Megan says softly now. “Love you too, Megs,” Iseul says, tracing the straps of Megan’s dress and making her shiver and move closer.

I don't like the judo flip in moa as much as the next guy but in my eyes it's largely the result of rick not taking female violence half as seriously as male violence (a result of viewing women as weaker and inferior to men such that their acts of violence don't need to be taken as seriously) and not so much anything about annabeth herself. like I do genuinely feel that annabeth is a complex heroine and definitely one of the better ones in the realm of ya action-adventure fiction produced in the past 25 years but she is still a girl being written by a man and all I'm saying is that her writing clearly reflects that sometimes (more in tags)

help me please how does one tap in character heels

[songtwo]

obviously hbo gossip girl had many flaws but one of them was having too many main characters with 0 chemistry and giving the least attention to max luna and monet aka the three most interesting ones and focusing instead on the boring ones . the actors not having the charm that characterized the original cast also was a huge factor of the show's cancellation
