help i’ve fallen for another ship comprised of two insane autistic queers that want each other dead despite also being willing to do literally anything for the other even at risk to themselves
#nygmobblepot#i literally never gave a shit about the penguin and the riddler#but the moment my brother makes me watch a show where they are portrayed by theatre nerds who care about the characters#i become obsessed instantly#i would watch the show out of the corner of my eye while my brother and dad were watching it and see oswald and id just think#that little weirdo is the only thing that makes me like this show its so fun when hes on screen#then ed starts showing up more and i start to love his autistic ramblings and general energy#then ed kills a guy and i think fuck i love this show so much#then i see them interact and find out that they are semi canon???#like oswald is canonically in love with ed but the show seems to want you to think that ed just doesn’t reciprocate#but he obviously does and just doesn’t realize at the beginning because he thinks hes straight#but by the end that man is NOT hiding how much he loves oswald#like what the fuck was that hallucination scene if not his concince trying to make him realize how much he loves oswald#and there scene in the last episode in the car???#like that man has finally accepted that hes in love and is finally ready to act on it#anyways rant over they are just like hannigram and danbert and i will never change my mind#also their actors fucking killed in their rolls i love them#and fun fact: edward was cory michal smith’s first role outside of theatre and it fucking shows in the best ways#him being a mostly theatre person just adds so much to edward and makes him just so enjoyable to watch#now the rant is actually over#gotham#gotham tv

i might be biased because i was putting 9 hours a week into this show but i am currently obsessed with my schools production of little shop.... we had some of the best casting
#ever hyperfixate on your own production? me too#my friend is so seymour coded i knew he was getting the role from day one#so badly wanna put pictures and videos up but we are just a little school i dont want to doxx or make anyone uncomfortable 😭#our mushnik plays such a good little old man#our audrey two is PHENOMENAL.#first customer cause i know youre seeing this is such a silly business man#and our understudy crystal shes such a good urchin because she actually has the attitude and the voice#and both of our audreys are so pretty and have their cute little stage presences#little shop of horrors#jett talks (me)#theatre#musical theatre#musical#musicals

Beloved mutuals, today i have toiled in the mines of AA in my mind but have merely 3 words to give you. But I fear these words may bring much joy or much horror.
Those 3 words are
Theatre kid Klavier
#ace attorney#klavier gavin#i just#im so certain of this in my heart#he would#he would be#hed be the leading man in every thermis show#because he can actually sing#it was always a thing in my theatre department that the music kids would get recruited in#especially the boys because they're were fewer of them#he played the captain in the sound of music i just fucking know it#with his dumb fake german accent the whole time#also seb- techie. that kid would so be a techie TELL ME I'M WRONG#anyway Klavier also played one of the princes in into the woods#and fucking the gay guy in legally blonde in his first year#because hes gay and European and Constance looked at that kid and declared “Fruit”

So I was thinking about that modern AU, trying to figure out how to incorporate FCG because robot (literally he's just a pastors son. Duh)
but for some reason my brain said "Ashton's service dog" first. Then I thought about Ashton needing a service dog because of brain stuff. THEN I thought about Ashton needing a service animal AND a mobility aid.
So I'm just living for Ashton in a wheelchair rolling through school. They've got the key to the elevator. They've obviously got a whole dog at school that people try desperately not to pet.
When someone decides to bully FCG (Francis Charles Grady) or Laudna, they get out of their chair to their full height. People freak because they didn't know he could walk or stand. Ashton just shrugs because "you know what they say about assuming"
And when Dorian shows up and asks about it not as tactfully as he probably meant to Ashton pops a wheely and is just like "what's sadder than an orphan with a wheelchair and a service dog? Unfortunately it didn't get me adopted. People just don't want their inspiration porn in house anymore I guess."
And they try to be chill. They try to avoid those harsh topics with their friends because they don't wanna be a bummer. It'd bring down the mood to say "sure I can walk but sometimes my spine is on fire and my calves are full of knives so I don't." It'd suck to say "I can walk fine until I can't." It's not relatable to say "my whole body hurts all the time and if I want to be able to do other things like think, I should probably be sitting."
Slowly their friends get them to understand that they don't have to put on a brave face for them. They don't have to pretend like it doesn't hurt. They don't have to pretend like it doesn't bother them. Their friends care about them. Hell they're even down to help if they can. Anything to make Ashton feel like they are wanted, that they're not a burden.
#silver sending stones#ashton greymoore#yeah i know its fucking weird about fcg being a dog#i was like “thats fucked up thats a person” so i looked at their class and was like#oh shit thats a pastors son#thats butters#FCG hovers around them because in the third grade (when ashton still walked around school) ashton beat a kid up that made him c ry#so theyve been beat friends ever since#and people dont get it but they dont have to#ashton once ran over a dudes foot because he was making fun of laudnas shirt for having holes in it#and she was glued to him ever sinxe#the alliances forged in elementary school and middle school are ones that will live with us forever#fearne is the new kid who comes from like. Catholic school.#shes so clueless and so sheltered she asked what rhe chair was for first day#and ashton said “legs dont work” and she said “got it” and hasnt said anything since#imogen sits next to laudna in biology and they start to get close because no one else would partner up with them for labs#imogen and orym are both ffa kids and when imogen starts hanging with laudna and her friends she invite orym#who just lost his best friend after a tornado so hes like “fuck it maybe i should make some friends”#and theyre a cute little hodge podge group when Dorian moves from way out of town#i think him and fearne are both going to be theatre kids so fearne is like “omg. youre so nice you have to meet my friends”#then the whole group is here!! except for c pop#i thought maybe a teacher or oryms dad but i gate all of that#idk man we'll see

The fact that there was once a time where I was like, "being a theatre teacher is not for me. Alas, I must find a new path posthaste".
When I directed my first play in literally 5th grade and then got to middle school and was like "I think I want to do this for the rest of my life" is kind of hilarious, I'm not gonna lie
Like the kids ask me about my life path or whatever, and I'm like yeah this will be my 10th show I've directed, and I knew in middle school I wanted to do this forever. And then I have to be like - but worry not! For there was a time in my life that I was incredibly stupid and thought this was, in fact, not my correct path 🤦🏼
#like my students do not even want to be in my class#and everyday I wake up so happy because I love my job and it's the best job ever 😁#I'm gonna make them like my class if it kills me#honestly the challenge is part of the fun I'm not gonna lie#rubs hands together evilly#sometimes I think about teaching in some suburb where the kids are all super passionate about theatre and I'm like. where's the fun in that#the fun is when they try it for the first time and catch the bug#the fun is when they're all 😠 and then you make them play the game and they're laughing and having fun and it's like aha! gotcha!#and guess what? you also haven't looked at your phone in 20 mins!#mwuahahauhaha#and watching the students challenge themselves to get out of their comfort zone? priceless#watching a kid who has done nothing all year read aloud from the play we're reading?? priceless#the kid who ices me out at every opportunity finally finally complete a hard assignment in class?? boy I die!!#just to see them go from cold reading to growing as performers is so ✨✨#ugh sorry I just literally have the best job ever#recruiting a talented kid from class only to have him be TERRIFIED the whole process - he is ??himself at every turn& the audience LOVES him#I swear there is nothing better man#and even if ALL I do is give these kids a third space to goof around in - a place where they feel safe - that's enough#I am so honored to give them that space

#i haven't really participated in any discourse as of late but watching that movie kinda made me think about dwd and mp#like. we know the holivia mess was such a shit show and i know that they wanted to make it look like they met on set or whatever#but i think that that stunt was in the works way before the movie deal even happened#we know that harry was seen with the mp novel in 2019. which isn't out of the norm for him because he has previously owned art by queer#artists. so in that moment of time it passed by easily. however now that we know that harry literally read that novel letter to letter and#convinced the director/producer that he would be best for the role it means that he's wanted to be part of it since 2019 itself#knowing that i think his team was already on the lookout for a role for him where he could play the straightest man possible to cover up his#role in mp. dwd was also in the talks for quite some time before that given that the script#was out in 2019 and olivia acquired it in the same year too. while yes shia was originally cast for it and we all know how that ended#but i'm just thinking about how mp started in 2019 too and dwd started around the same time his team was definitely aware of it#and it aligned perfectly that shia fell out of the movie and harry got the role and olivia got the contract of her lifetime#like. i don't think that harry organically got the role and then the stunt happened. i think harry getting the movie was FOR the stunt to#happen so that it could overlap his role in mp#i fully think the contract was ''you get an actor and a public boyfriend and we get a beard and a public straight narrative''#so like tldr version : harry wanted mp badly enough that his team found the most straight role for him and saddled him with a beard to cover#up his role in mp. and it worked too because his scenes in dwd blew up and people still thirst over that#even though mp got way more success than dwd did#which is also why they were pushing so hard for it to be a theatre release first and then onto streaming unlike mp which went to streaming#straightaway. apart from the select few theatre releases they did#and also like. so many actors who have played queer roles in media get asked about their sexuality repeatedly. like kit connor#or nicholas galitzine to the point where it becomes an obsessive need for the public to know about it#and by doing this harry doesn't get asked about it explicitly (maybe he has them banned idk) and still gets to do whatever he wants however#he wants. okay byeeeee#my policeman#don't worry darling

I used to have a really giant family like tons of tias and tios and cousins and i say used to cause like it seems like after my grandparents died on both sides both families seemed to never speak again and i had no chance to even try and keep hold of those ties i was in elementary school watching my parents marriage crash and burn in real time dealing with major death in the family and then subsequent family abandoning me at the tender age of 11. Hell my brothers were older and jumped ship it was just me and the horrors
#my moms dad and my dads mom were like the heads of their families and they both died really close to each other#but my grandma and a tio on my moms side died within 3 days of each other after being in hospice literally 3 doors away from each other#for months and my parents both took the roles of like taking care of everything and being the descision makers cause no one else would#which im sure was super traumatizing in everyway possible but their siblings both seemed to resent them in ways#when they didnt want to be those people but had to be and they arent even the oldest siblings they are both like 3rd youngest#but like it just ruined the families and me and mom and my dad were all at the hospital or hospice center for months#we were there every day and night i remember it so much i can get anywhere in any hospital in my town using the stairwells#like i knew them that well#it also likely ruined my parents marriage which was bumpy before the intense major tragedy#which like yaknow what fair it was a lot to deal with ontop of like trying to crawl ur way out of the recession#but after all was said and done i talk to no one on my dads side i bearly talk to my older brother#and i talk to like my nina and two tias on my moms side and occassionally a few cousins#when theyre arent being fucking insane and unhinged#idk i loved having a huge family the like going to 5 houses on christmas type#going to birthdays or weddings and seeing everyone taking at least 45 mins to say bye to everyone#and now its gone and i wont ever get it back#and its by no fault of my own cause i was literally 11 and every adult decided i was gonna pay the price too#like i think abt when i get married its not gonna be what i thought itd be or when i get my first movie in theatres#im not gonna have the major family celebration ill have all my friends which im so greafull for#but its not the same yaknow#and id love to have that relatiomship with my family again but like where do u start when its been over 10+ years#like they remember 11 year old me if they remember me#and thats part of the problem#like on my moms side specifically i have some family who acts like theyve never met me before when i used to see them every weekend#and it was a major failing on my part as an 11 year old for not keeping in touch even tho we did my mom calls everyone and she tried#but people didnt want to return it#and as for my dads side its the same and if it was a moral failing for me as an 11 yr old to not reach out and they didnt like my mom much#my grandma fucking loved her but the rest of the family didnt and like i lived w my mom and was fucking 11 i couldnt go anhwhere by myself#and i didnt like not being places without a parent and i hated sleepovers i refused and they took it so personal#and they stopped talking to my dad and bad mouthed him and still do nd ill never allow that around me my dad isnt perfect but hes a good man

the other thing about vanya (hi yes i'm still here will be so for a while) is the sheer whiplash you get while watching it like. there is an element of this in fleabag but that is at least consistent because it is 1 person. vanya is like 1 character (andrew scott) will walk off stage and immediately another character (andrew scott) will walk on. someone else (andrew scott) will be crying and singing and then immediately get interrupted by 2 other people (andrew scott and his friend andrew scott) and we switch right back to comedy. earlier in the play ivan (andrew scott) walks in on two other characters kissing / abt to have sex (andrew scott, and andrew scott). and this all happens so fuckin fast the switches aren't even noticeable sometimes. once more with feeling: WHAT the fuck
#like the whole 1 man thing gets some laughs at first because it IS funny watching him talk to himself but eventually it becomes so natural#you almost forget its NOT eight different people there. + there's little props for each character but the way they're incorporated in feels#so seamless it's incredible to watch. truly. moving between 2 different positions on stage to show who's talking but in a way where it's no#so obvious what he's doing and why. i'm still in my eating glass stage. i have seen things#also there's a) a moment where you can tell the camera operator doesn't know where to focus and b) 1 instance of lighting that is so so#SO pretty. that's how you pull off chiaroscuro. i do like how the camera uses closeups bc it's really nice to be able to see the nuances#+ also when he starts singing i was like about to cry AND the woman next to me whispered 'wow he really does everything' to the person next#to her. and well. it's true#neon has thoughts#theatre tag#vanya#september 12th............

working on so many projects
tag yourself i'm "swap auuu"
#grim guys night has two scrapped versions already and frankly i'm losong it it's genuinely the hardest to figure out#cause see. the grim GIRLS. they All Get Along (relatively)#dashi lillian and viktor are all Chill with each other. they all chill with lamia (one of them is dating her so like. come on)#they're all Decent with theatre. lillian has a Very Specific connection to him and viktor has something similar but dashi and lamia know#Fuck All about him and his past so they don't ask questions yk#MEANWHILE. lars out here being darwin's MURDERER and natquik being the Weirdest and Most Offputting Old Man to ever Offputting Old Man#natquik is actually chill and a good guy don't get me wrong but it's his vibes. nearly nobody but like. dashi and philliam. actually know i#philliam's like their Boss too and as friendly as he is there's always going to be that Gap in authority that makes it weird at best#not to mention whatever darwin has going on with. everything. none of the grims really respect him like. at all. he's the Outcast#I did at some point put theatre in with them but then I Remembered and he was the ONE PERSON who really made sense other than Dashi#but dashi was obviously occupied with The Girls so here we are. I might head back to Lars.#grim guys night more like grim Holy Shit These Men Are So Uncomfortable With Each Other#my best argument for having lars instead of philliam is that natquik and lars Sort of get along ??#like they were among the first grims and they were often left alone at the manor and they share common traits and similar linking people#darwin and lars being. victim and murderer is faucijn wild though so i suppose natquik is just. the buffer. the wall. he keeps lars out of#darwin's line of sight or something#this one is the hardest from a logic standpoint ... these three guys would NOT hang out alone but this is the prompt and i can't stray from#it. yeah the art itself is pretty easy !! and fun actually !! but My God. The Canon.#also philliam is kind of out of the question because the whole idea is that everyone is On Break.#being On Break WITH your boss just doesn't. sit right.#yeah in some circumstances it kind of works but in THEIR profession?? they need time AWAY from him i am so sorry

sniper, the guy who throws bottles of his own piss at other people? yeah i wonder why even Sniper Fans don't want to physically hug the man,
#anyways imo it comes down to the defense classes + medic. maybe pyro if you Trust or soldier if u don't mind getting yr bones crushed#medic is on my list mostly bc im a theatre kid i like his energy but he's not exactly The Best Option objectively speaking#given he may Steal My Organs but i think it could work as long as i get to talk to him first#heavy demo and engie are all pretty obvious as to why they're a good choice for a hug#i think pyro hugs would be really nice but they would smell like burnt rubber and asbestos...... and potentially kill u on accident but#solid maybe#scout is an obvious no unless i become a really hardcore jerma fan#soldier i think would do the cartoon gag of going to hug someone and squeezing them too tight all their bones break or they can't breathe.#not worth it imo#maybe if it was down to him or sniper or spy#sniper is the obvious UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES bc he is unfortunately the piss man. right.#even if he's theoretically capable of being a good hugger (plausible?) or giving emotional support (possible?) he's still the piss man#and spy is a stick figure that hates me personally and also is french and Fucking Reeks of cigarettes and cologne. Do Not Hug#anyways i get wordy past midnight and like tf2#god how the fuck does sniper have 9.1%.... merasmus is a better option than him

so called 'free thinker' Jay haunted-mlm remembering the twelfth night retelling play hosted at a college about two at ''war'' holiday hotels and I think I saw it in highschool? possibly late primary school? and the count orsino was the most prettiest boy ever with white floppy hair and the most puppy-dog attitude ever. I think about him a lot.
#I wonder how he's doing now that I'm in college tbh#he was really goofy as orsino and smiled a lot.#I think this was like my first realised crush on someone way older than me tbh.#because GOD i remember walking out of that theatre room blushing and avoiding eye contact as it was a small play#and they were saying bye to all the kids out of the door but I could NOT face him-#i wanted to be Viola SO bad in some scenes-.#everyone was booing him and stuff in the play (yknow- Orsino kinda bad? ig??? not really?? idk man but they made us boo him-)#made me feel really sad and i just didn't even when the teachers nudged me. because why did i want to boo the pretty man??#the retelling was wild though they had beachballs ; fake sand and everything.#The whole thing was like- the brother missed the flight so the sister had to keep his room until he got there i think#but GODDD he was so pretty and thinking about him still gets me warm in the face right now. he was so outgoing and goofy#even if it was a character#he was kinda like that saying bye too and ough#goddd he was so s#rauugughgh#thinking about him. A LOT even though I only knew the character he played.#Ngl seeing any Orsino adaptation makes me think of him. and i get all fuzzy inside.
