My First Time Performing on Stage: A Journey of Nerves and Growth

Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech? Performing on stage or delivering a speech in front of an audience is a milestone that many of us encounter at some point in our lives. For me, it was a moment filled with a mix of emotions—anticipation, fear, and excitement. This blog is about my first-ever experience performing on stage and the lessons I learned along the way. The Event That…

Transitional phase

Wanted to share my approach to media recently that's been not only healthier on my brain, but also gives me space to create is:

This person may not tell the perfect story for me. But if they can tell a story that entertains me, that's all I need.

If I want a story perfect for me, I'll create it.

And when i don't spend hours angry online about a piece of media, guess what I then have?

OODLES OF TIME TO MAKE THE STORIES I WANT OUT THERE.

So do THAT.

Ways ISaT Changed Me: Part 7

Theater references (like, theater as an art, not specific shows) are really tasty. We need more of that.

Characters that think of themselves as the hero/villain of a book are out. Let's bring in more characters that think of themselves as the lead role. We need characters who believe they're only in the ensemble. Characters that don't think they're performing, that they're the audience of the rest of the world's play. Characters that orchestrate events and conclude they must be the director of the show.

Theater roles in non-theatrical fiction >>>

I ramble about the contrast of being a stage girl and standing on stage.

Karen lost her stage. Starlight was no more, and she had to move on. But when she couldn’t leave that all behind, when she couldn’t accept the inevitable departure she died. She stopped acting. And so she had no choice, but to die.

Why didn’t Shiro die? In her darkest moments, overwhelmed with hatred for the stage and willing to forsake and destroy it all Shiro stubbornly threw away the stage. She stopped acting. Yet she lived.

A stage girl is greedy, prideful, passionate, and defined by their never ending determination to continue to act.

However stage girls are not bound by their love of the stage. To be a stage girl means continuing to act no matter what.

Even as Nana hates what the very stage she stands on signifies, and is made miserable by the fact of stage girls’ competitive nature she continues to stay on stage. In spite of herself she is still a stage girl.

Hikari lost her brilliance. She lost her passion for acting. It became meaningless to her. Yet even without a stage anymore her promise with Karen still guided her, even just by a thread. She remained a stage girl.

Of course stage girls can’t always love the stage. They, more than anyone else, must be painfully aware of what it means to live life on the stage. While they are bound to the stage they can exist in spite of it.

After all, stage girls act on many stages.

Even if stage girls are rejected by the stage. Even if they run from the stage. Even if they are destined for extinction. The stage cannot hold them back.

If a stage girl still has passion to continue acting, they can transcend any stage.

Shiro, even with all else lost you still had hope in the bond you and Stella shared. You didn’t forsake that.

It’s only if a stage girl loses that passion of their own accord that they can ever die.

And even then, they can always be reborn.

Just tell us where they are.

I have , . been planning this character for so long but never really developed him to be super important, but since season 39 it gave me ideas and so he has a reason other than just being a part of someone else's lore

This was meant to just be concept art but it ended up kind of making sense for what's going on :)

If he looks a little familiar, it was on purpose because it's not the first time I drew him
