Halloween movie sketch dump :P

[productofaritual]

Odysseus and Philza would be friends only by the level of simping on their wifes. And as well they have antagonists that are pissed by how much they talk about it. Philza's antagonists are Wilbur and Tommy saying that his wife doesn't exist.

"See my wife she is the best, just an absolute gem, she's so smart and beautiful and kind and loving"

"My wife is the same, I just love her so much,"

[Insert a three hour conversation just complimenting their wives. They talk about nothing else. Tommy and Telemachus are listening through the door. They are baffled. These two actually manage to keep it up for hours. Their tea has probably already gone cold. They're still going. What the fuck]

Approval Vs Demand in Milgram

> aka my interpretation of the clapping motif in backdraft and cat :3

We clap to show approval or appreciation, but sometimes, we also clap to make noise and put a demand on people. It's like Fuuta says, I think the clapping represents the "spectators" in both he and Kazui's lives - For Fuuta it's his fans and for Kazui it's his family, but I'll expand more on this later.

The first time we hear clapping in backdraft is during the clip I showed you. Fuuta's fans clap for him when he arrives in the tunnel to 'serve justice', they approve of his actions. Through his shaky smile and the description of being "surrounded by the masses" though, we can gather that he might not be as comfortable in this environment as he previously let on. This big dramatic arrival may just be a persona put on to "impress those spectators"

However, the next time we hear clapping the tone has changed. This time it's Future Fuuta watching Past Fuuta deliver the 'killing blow' to the girl. With hindsight, he knows this is the action that drives her to take her own life, and he is shown in clear distress. It's almost like he's fighting a mental battle between the demands his fans have for him to deliver justice once again, shown through their clapping, vs the added knowledge he now has that this action will land him a guilty verdict

With Kazui, it's a bit different, as cat actually shows people psychically clapping during his wedding, though there's no sound. It's his parents, the mysterious brown haired woman and the bartender, clapping in approval of the ceremony.

However, we know that this is all for show, quite litteraly in Kazui's head. His marriage is a performance and friends and family are the spectators. Therefore, I think the clapping during his wedding represents both approval and the perceived idea Kazui has of this being the right thing to do, lie and lead a normal life. Similarly to Fuuta, who had the idea of his cyber justice being the right thing to do, which was most likely only heightened by having an approving audience by his side.

In contrast, the clapping during the clip I showed represents a demand Kazui has come to learn to continue lying, most likely through his parents (father), and that what he wants to do, what is "yearning to be satisfied" is the wrong choice he should not choose. Kazui is implied to be drunk in this scene, staggering and clutching his aching head, and the clapping probably represents this mental battle of right and wrong, what the spectators wish and what He himself wants to do.

He becomes increasingly distressed while trying to choose between the demand he has been taught to follow (represented by the overwhelming clapping) and what his intoxicated mind wishes to pursue (being his true self)

The similarities between the scenes where clapping is shown in both characters makes me think this is purposeful, a fun motif, and that the clapping represents approval to conform to the expectations others have set for you, and later pressure to continue doing so when you begin to falter.

For Fuuta, this started as approval from his fans towards his cyber justice, and ended in a battle between his past actions, encouraged by his demanding fans, and the hindsight he's now gained

For Kazui, it started as approval from his friends and family towards leading a normal and (traditionally) expected life, and ended in a battle between the demand he has perceived to continue being your grade A traditional husband, and the true feelings his heart wants to express.

shoutout to Crazy Ex Girlfriend songs for being such accurate parodies that their absurdity snaps me out of my depressive spiral

if I said eisa davis' influence in making lmm actually write something rather radically progressive has subsequently inspired me to return to my roots of actually fucking thinking of making radically progressive musicals after a 3-year long hiatus in doing so, then what-

7/15/23

I reorganized my room and there are finally some corners that give some aesthetic vibes. My goal for the rest of the summer is to be well prepared for the next school year in terms of time management and academically (or rather, musically). Today I successfully got up early and had a good practice session, but I could have practiced more had I prepared food in advance.

[thatnerdyqueer]

can we get some more love for teachers please. Because we don't talk enough about how much they change your fucking life.

I could talk for hours about the things my music or drama teachers have said to me, things that have fundamentally changed the way I view myself for the better

Sure, the passion I have for performing and creating is mine, but I swear it would have died if they didn't make sure it lived on

He told me today that he was talking about music taste with my sibling and they brought me up. They kept emphasizing the fact that I LOVE Lana. When the two of them walked into his classroom right after that conversation, he opened his computer and Diet Mountain Dew automatically started playing

Since it's Melody Piper's birthday today I would like to share my headcanon about her :

At the end of his story, when Pied Piper returned all the kids to their parents one little girl was left behind. She was about 2 or 3 years old and since the beginning, she would have followed Pied Piper all the time and wouldn't leave his side. To his benefit, Piper tried to find her parents, he really did but no one knew that kid so he adopted her. She could talk but was mostly quiet and didn't have a name ( at least that was what Piper assumed because no matter how many times he asked her what her name was she would just stare at him) he named her Melody ( as promised). Now Piper wanted to be a good father, he really did, but he had no idea what he was doing.

" Wolf you have a kid, right? Melody has accidentally eaten sand. Should I take her to the doctor? Is she gonna be okay?" " Chesire, she's been crying for 30 minutes now straight. How do I calm her down? Is this normal? Did I do something wrong?" He was never really good with kids.

At least his music seems to calm her down. She really seems to like it when he plays his flute or sings to her.
