Kinda obsessed with the historical context of Rise of the Guardians. Pitch wanting the Dark Ages to come back, which historically was the decline of culture and records. The Guardians rose at the same time as the Renaissance with the rise of culture, knowledge, and science. (Tooth in particular mentions that she hasn’t been out in the field for 440 years, give or take, which would put that smack dab in the middle of the Renaissance) 

The way Pitch doesn’t want the world to change, the way the Guardians change in tune with the world. The way Jack, who lived in has a human in the 17th or 18th century, who lived in the time after the Renaissance and lived witnessing the world all the way to the modern era, is there to show the Guardians how much they missed and how they can further change and improve for the more modern world. These characters are immortal beings who have so much power over the world, it makes so much sense that when they fall and rise in power it impacts the world that they want to influence, for better or for worse.

transphobes when they realize hcing a character as a transfem isn't taking away from their “gay mlm rep” because there wasn't any rep to begin with: 🤯🤯🤯

Between Steve's prize task including a photo taken by Sam Campbell, "There was a man called Butch who broke this table", and Lesley looking like Lucy's attempt at the cool but scary gang task, I'm loving the S16 callbacks this episode

Sometimes I think back to Marianne Elliott's Company and I get brain damage. I wish I had the courage to ask Patti if she intended to pay Joanne and a closeted lesbian when I met her at the stage door twice during the west end run of Company because..........

I got married this summer!! And I spent the year leading up to it designing & patterning & making my dresses! So here they are; unfortunately my photo selection is pretty limited cause our photographer got almost no fullbody pictures of me alone from the front, but w/e

My wedding dress/outfit/what have you consisted of an Edwardian-ish blouse and a skirt which I drafted off of an actual Victorian walking skirt pattern except since I didn’t wanna obtain/wear a corset & bustle I took out the hip shaping so it just turned out to be a partial circle skirt that’s a little longer and fuller in back. Oh, and the front panel was actually two overlapping panels which could be folded back and attached to the inside of the skirt. I wore it closed at the actual marriage part which I didn’t get good pics of, and open at the ring ceremony, which is where all the above pics were taken. The pants were resale, but I did make my veil and bouquet!

The second dress was very inspired by this set of classic lolita OP’s (particularly the one in the first two pics) which I first saw back in 2021 and I’d been itching to make something similar ever since, so I picked up the fabric for it when it was on sale back at my old job and then pencilled it in as my reception dress so I would actually get around to making it. (Although fun fact both of these outfits STILL need more sewing done before they’re completely ready for regular wear lol. Someday) I got the cameo for the brooch off Etsy (it has a butterfly on it) and my grandma bought me the shoes for Christmas last year, though I added the bows to them (they’re removable and I also made a pink set) and also made the earrings and hair bow.

Anyway we recently got done moving and stuff so hopefully I will be able to do more art soon! (Also they/them preferred as usual 💜)

early rent lore from jonathan larson's notes [x][x][x][x]

[arizonaaaaaa]

Glee cast sings Joanne by Lady Gaga

Diamond Heart sung by Rachel Berry in season 4

-this song would happen in the time where she started working on that restaurant, the song refers to a hardworking person who may have flaws and may be wrong sometimes but despise all, she stills has a diamond heart, the reason I chose Rachel and not someone else is because the diamond heart refers to Gaga’s arrangement ring, which was a diamond in the shape of a heart, and by this time Rachel was the only one dealing with a premature wedding

A-YO sung by Brittany Pierce in season 4

-this song is all about haters and being sexy and confident in yourself, I guess she could’ve sung this around the time she had her breakdown or somewhere similar, I also think her voice would fit quite well, and the song is very energetic so it could definitely bring some choreo

Joanne (Where Do You Think You're Goin'?) sung by Finn Hudson

-okay so a little background on this entire album, Joanne is Gaga’s middle name but also her aunt’s name, an aunt that died before she was born, but her death left a hole in her family and she missed her aunt as well despite not knowing her at all, this is Finn’s relationship with his dad, he never met him but he missed him, it’s a part of him that is missing and not even Burt or Will can fully complete it, it’s a part of him that will never be found again, but maybe this could for Finn could mean a goodbye and an I love you, also I cried writing this because I love this song so much

John Wayne sung by Santana Lopez

-while the songs intent doesn’t fit any character on the show, I think we can use some analogy, John Wayne refers to this stunning cowboy guy who’s from the country side and isn’t awful like the city boys, what if the city boys just refer to men in general while John Wayne is an analogy to women, or Brittany in particular, her true love

Dancin’ in Circles sung by April Rhodes

-I actually decided to edit this one, it makes more sense to be an April song, plus her voice would really fit the country more, no Quick duet for you fans here, sorry bout that, by the way in case you’re first seeing this after the edit, the song is about female masturbation, April Rhodes right?

Perfect Illusion sung by Mercedes Jones in “Asian F”

-she would sing this after being kicked out of the glee club, singing about how despite being friends for years their friendship was nothing more than a perfect illusion, girl would let all her rage come out with this song, this could’ve been vocally one of Mercedes best songs if I’m being honest

Million Reasons sung by Finn and Rachel

-this would take place between season 3 and 4, Rachel would be feeling insecure about not having Finn in her life, while Finn would be dying inside, wanting to go back to her but knowing it’s for the best if he’s away, they would both sing this together about how they have million reasons to stay distant for the better of each other but only one good reason would be enough for them to get back together

Sinner’s Prayer sung by Quinn Fabray

-this song is an apology from Quinn to any men she loved, saying how she don’t want to break anyone’s heart but ended up doing it, sinning every time it happens again, I also chose her for the religious theme of the song, having faith, sin, forgiveness and some other topics

Come to Mama sung by Mercedes and Unique

-these two deserved a song together, what better song to sing them this one? Y’know, the song about loving a person so strongly that it overcomes the hard parts and eventually build a future, they would be singing this to their token dyslexic white boys, and as puppies they would be barking for their girls

Hey Girl feat. Florence Welch sung by Ryder and Sam

-okay so this song while being about girl power, I can also see this song as a tribute to women, since Unicedes sung the previous song to their boys, nothing more than fair than have Syder sing a tribute to them, these two, unlike the previous duo, actually have a duet together so we can picture in our heads how this song could play out

Angel Down sung by Artie, Blaine, Mercedes, Rachel and Sam in “Bash”

-this song was inspired by the murder of Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old black kid who was shot by his neighbor, unfortunately his murderer was found not guilty. After knowing the context I got back to Bash, the episode where Kurt was attacked by homophobes, this song would be sung mainly by Blaine and Sam, on how their angel was shot down, I’m not exactly sure if in the episode the guys who attacked Kurt were arrested or something, I like to think yes, it’s best to be positive in an ocean of negativity, also this song has a work tape version which is essentially the same song with more raw vocals and less electronic sounds, maybe they could’ve sung this version. Rest in peace Trayvon Martin

Grigio Girls sung by Mercedes, Quinn, Rachel, Santana and Tina with Brittany, Lauren and Sugar

-this song talks about Gaga’s childhood friend who had cancer, and when she wasn’t around Gaga and her other girlfriends would cry together, this song would be just a sweet song of the girls standing out for each other (in the universe where Lauren stayed after season 2) Mercedes, Quinn, Rachel, Santana and Tina would all have at least a solo verse while the other three would be doing back-up vocals, if I’m being honest, this would be better than I Kissed a Girl. Rest in peace Sonja Durham

Just Another Day sung by Rachel Berry

-this song is very straight forward, it would be about Rachel singing about her love for New York, even if the city is a mess and very loud and irritating, she’s happy, she’s very happy in her favorite town, everyday is just another happy day for Ms Berry in NYC

Bonus: songs that aren’t from the album but are from the same era

The Cure sung by Marley Rose

-this song gives Marley Rose writing career, the song is very catchy and pop-y and it’s definitely something Marley would write at one point or another, maybe the New Directions would encourage her to do a YouTube video of the song and they would back her up, and maybe at the end of the episode we would see a lot of vocal producers at Marley’s comment section

That’s it, really short album this time, next one is a soundtrack, A Star is Born, I’m very excited, probably will come out soon since my classes ended officially today :)

i'm taking this class on creative writing for work and i'm back on having my Big Thoughts on Creativity, Creative Writing, and the Internet

every creative work is shroedinger's cat, both existing in a realm of done and not done. it's done when the author publishes it and declares it done and fit for consumption, and not done because the work has not completed its next task of being consumed and experienced by the audience.

but the internet keeps pushing it further and further into the 'not done category' by having direct access to the creator, asking questions, getting clarifications or corrections or patches or revisions and resulting in a never completed never finished work that can never truly be experienced anymore

[sovereign-skyy]

What is best in life?

uhh that's a hard one...

I can't give you a conclusive answer but I'd say community is high up there at least. To have a group of people who support you and understand you, and you can support and understand them, to get to know the world and each other better together.

What is knowledge if you can't share it?
