#leslie looks cool af

[gaysoup]

So I saw someone say that in the new show Kryptonian sounds Italian, but i think it's rather latin!

Jor-El calls Clark "Filio" all the time, and with "Filius" being the Latin word for "son" it immediately reminded me of it. (Yeah it could also be from the Italian "Figlio", but the pronunciation is more latin)

Towards the last few sentences it even sounds more like Dutch, 'cause the language is becoming more comprehensible over time, aka more English is put in the mix.

At one point Jor-El literally says something like "the AI is learning as we speak"

[lawssword]

No one asked but heres an itemized list of the little things I love about hamilton that you cant get from the soundtrack alone

The spinning stage (it just offers really cool visuals)

The fact that King Greorge III is still exiting the stage at the start of Right Hand Man.

The way Eliza leans over Angelica on the spiny stage while singing about Hamilton's letters

Philip Schuyler's reaction to the little dance thing Hamilton is doing after he gives his blessing in Helpless

The way Eliza's hair is done it's just so cute

The only time the spiny stage moves counter clockwise is the "rewind" part of Satisfied.

The way Laurens, Lafayette, and mulegen are dancing right before Burr enters in Story Of Tonight (Reprise)

The entire ensemble. Every single one of them, especially the girl with the fluffy chunk of hair that hangs over her eyes/forehead.

The way the ensemble is very still during singles like Wait For It and other really serious parts when they're very active in the rest of the musical.

Seriously the girl in ensemble with the fluffy hair, (she was the bullet in Stay Alive and during Burr and Hamiltons Duel) anyway I want to marry her.

The ensemble carried this entire show and that's why ALL of their arms are so defined.

The fact that Eliza is visibly pregnant in That Would Be Enough (I didn't notice this when i saw the musical live in Seattle back in 2018 tbh I'm not sure if they even did that in that particular showing it wasnt the original cast)

The use of the upper stage thing that shit is dope af

THE WAY ARRON BURR JUMPS UP ON THE RAILING IN GUNS AND SHIPS

The way the ensemble takes the letter Washington wrote to Hamilton in Guns and Ships

Can someone please get the fluffy hair girls name I tried looking and I cannot find her

The fact that Daveed Diggs and Athony Ramos just let their hair down after Act One and theyre different characters, while they just keep taking stuff off Okieriete Onaodowan's head.

The way everyon is standing on something at the end of The Battle of Yorktown. Even the ensemble

I FOUND THE FLUFFY HAIR GIRL HER NAME IS ARIANA DEBOSE AND I LOVE HER

The entire stage tech in Hamilton (must have lost their minds trying to deal with this shit and they deserve everything in the world. )

The fact that Burr and Hamilton are the only ones on stage in Dear Theodosia.

The transition to Lauren's Interlude

The way Hamilton's smile disintegrates after he finds out what happened to Lauren's

The visible frustration on Burrs face everytime he talks about Hamilton's accomplishments

Burr's face in all of Non-Stop

Hamiltoms little footsteps in the "I was chosen for the constitutional convention" part

The fact that they just use a board in Non-Stop as a desk when they have actual desks in every other part of the show.

The way Hamilton smiles at Washington in Non-Stop when he says "Let's Go"

The fact that Thomas Jefferson is in a pink velvet suit.

The fact that Lin-Manuel Miranda got Daveed Diggs to agree to wear that suit.

The way Daveed Diggs portrays Jafferson is just, absolutely superb

The fact that Madison catches Jeffersons Mic drop in Cabinet Battle #1 (ik the stage crew would have killed the director over that if it hit the ground)

The fact that Eliza is beat boxing for Philip in Take A Break

Burr dancing in The Room Where It Happens

The table cloth yank in The Room Where is Happens. Leslie give me your secrets how did you not fall??

Seriously the Hamilton cast likes to stand on tables

"YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR GODDAMN MIND-" As Hamilton jumps in cabinet battle #2

The way Madison taps his chest when he says "Which I wrote" in Washington on your side

The way Burr, Madison, and Jefferson kick their feet in "SOUTHERNMOTHERFUCKINGDEMOCRATICREPUBLICANS"

The ensemble, again

Why is Washington the only one with a mic on his ear

Hand quotations King George does with "country" in I Know Him

The way King George looks at Ariana DeBose then says "John Adams"

King George just vibing in The Adam's Administration

Hamilton dropping a stack of papers in The Adam's Administration

This list is getting long so expect a part 2

[tuttifuckinfruttifriday]

Hello!

Could I have an Leslie Vernon, Jack Torrance, Chromeskull, Poly! GhostFace The Collector, Charles Lee Ray/Chucky(human) , The Creeper, Pin Head, The Lost Boys, The Man(Hush) and Hannibal(SOTL) with an reader that has starred as black widow. So like they walk on set and see her doing a fight scene like this.

👏

So sorry it took so long 🥺! It’s short too and might not be so good since I’m sleepy. Don’t hesitate to tell me if I made some errors!

Slashers with a badass Blackwidow actress S/O:

Warnings: Small nsfw reference?, ooc Lost Boys and The Collector since I can’t write for them, admiration, violence, mention of Avengers movies, too much times saying

✨a s s✨

Leslie Vernon(NEW!)

He was kind of surprised when he saw you taking down the actors, and then walking like nothing happened before you sprayed another one—

Honestly, he thought he could do the same, him and his freakin’ ego. But he’d find you so badass<3

What really catches his attention tho was when he looked at your face; the face of someone who was on a mission. He loves how you can go to one emotion to the other, how you can get into character^^

He started watching the Avengers movies just because he wants to see you❤️

Jack Torrance

He doesn’t know much about movies since he’s always writing.

But let’s say that he was fascinated when he saw what moves you could do on set. He have seen some actions in his life, but never like that.

The way you just walked like you didn’t give a f, 👌. He finds it seriously hot. He even discovered that it was even better when you were kicking asses-

Decided to watch movies just for you <3

ChromeSkull

When he saw you playing the character, his first reaction was to smirk. You have your little secrets, he likes that. He doesn’t care about the other actors, his eyes being on your figure as you walk proudly, ‘spraying ‘ something at an enemy.

He never thought that you had that in you, and will always make comments.

Tho he’d watch the movies, just out of curiosity, and maybe because he’s proud of ya :)

Poly!Ghostface

They knew you were an actress. They knew everything. They’re the first to support you 1000/100 in you actress career.

They love everything you do, always making some comment there and then.

So seeing you kick ass and being cool makes them h o r n y, and proud. Stu will even joke around and try to do some of your kicks to “help you” before you really turn the scene. But they find it even better when they get to see you doing them with real targets, the joy of seeing people falling taking control of them—

The Collector

He doesn’t really watch movies, but he sure likes to see you practice.

The moves make him want to cringe a little since he likes real action better, but he really likes the outfit... not like he’d ever say it out loud. It certainly gained his curiosity a little since it was you<3

Charles Lee Ray/Chucky

He knew he’d seen you somewhere in the start of your relationship, so he already knew you were an actress.

He finds it sexy af whenever you do anything with that costume on since it hugs your body so well-

He’ll probably watch one of the movies, but just because he wants to see you in that outfit and kicking asses with it🤷🏻‍♀️

The Creeper

Doesn’t know much about what movies are, but he sure likes anything by you show him.

He’s going to be impressed whenever he sees you making a combat scene, thinking about how his little human can make badass actions ✨

He will laugh a little, since he definetly finds it cute, don’t ask you won’t understand

He loves to see the people applauding you at the end and telling you that you did good, since they see what you can do. He’ll watch the movies if you’re with him, but he’ll probably not watch most of it.

PinHead

Doesn’t really care about movies, expect if there’s realistic gore.

But seeing you fight like that, oh boy does he likes it.

Even if he doesn’t say it, the way it looks realistic as if you literally kicked their asses, it makes him... feel.

He’s the only one who wouldn’t watch the movies, because he doesn’t really care... maybe with a little persuasion.

The Lost Boys

You know they can’t watch movies in that cave 🥲

Like most of the slashers, they don’t really watch movies. But seeing you acting and being whole other person makes them feel hot. It’s like when they transform, yk?

So you can say that they seriously loved seeing anything you do on set, but especially the fight scenes like that.

That walk tho, it was sexy.

They might watch the movies, but only if they’re with you so they can tease you!

The Man(Hush)

He’s like most of the “normal people”’s reaction, he would be really proud and support you. He’s so facinated when he sees you acting and ‘killing’ the people blocking your path, the suit hugging your forms-

He’ll watch the movies with you in it out of curiosity, not any other thoughts into his mind 👀^^

Hannibal(SOTL)

Just finding that you’ve stared as one of the most iconic characters makes him smirk. He probably already knew.

He finds the way you cary yourself when you’re acting really... mature/badass^^ Idk how to say that.

Seeing you kick asses and just look so natural makes him proud, knowing that you always had it in you from the start.

He doesn’t really watch movies, being more of a theatre guy, but he at least tried the trailer

[rodeoclones]

So, you want to listen to more country music but hate the bro/post 9/11 mainstream stuff on the radio. I’m relatively new to the genre, but I like deep diving and I thought I'd make a guide to get you started down your own country road.

(My general advice for getting into a new genre is to find the black and queer people making that music, it’s usually better.)

Of course you can start with the classic stuff made by Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Conway Twitty, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, John Prine, The Carter Family, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard etc. This is what a lot of people refer to as “good” country music. I like most of it, and the older people in your life will probably think you’re cool if you bust this out at the next barbecue. Basically search up country music playlists that focus on the 50s-80s and you’ll get this group plus even more.

If you’re looking for recent releases there are some pretty good playlists made by spotify that can be a jumping off point: Cosmic Country, Vintage Vibes, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Indigo, Country Soul, Queer as Folk, Orville Peck made i miss summertime. I’ll plug my own country road trip playlist as well (x)

Here’s my list of (mostly lesser known) modern country musicians I think are worth a check out: Yola, Amythyst Kiah, Charley Crockett, Sierra Ferrell, Willi Carlisle, Nick Shoulders, Orville Peck, Lisa LeBlanc, Katie Pruitt, Paul Cauthen, Sturgill Simpson, Kacey Musgraves, The Highwomen, Brandi Carlile, Teddy and the Rough Riders, Dale Hollow, Mya Byrne, Evil, Courtney Marie Andrews, Cactus Blossoms, Margo Price, Marlon Williams, Leslie Stevens, Cut Worms

If you are completely new to country but like alt rock or singer songwriter I would recommend trying out folk, americana, and other subgenres to find something in line with what you already vibe with.

Bonus! There is a yt channel called Western AF that posts live performances from tons of younger/new country artists

Anyway I hope this helps someone out on their journey! My lists are in no way meant to be exhaustive, just a jumping off point for your own exploration. Happy trails!

[me-uglypretty]

WHAT TIME IS IT?! RUNAWAY TIME!!!

OMFG I ACTUALLY LOST IT WHEN YOU SAID NICO IS A CHIHUAHUA CAUSE ITS SO TRUE (their parent energy is so fucking cute and definitely what keeps the group in line I LOVE THEM TOO!!!)

the parents piss me off so much it’s not even funny anymore and i know there’s still so much more messed up stuff i’m going to see from them ((definitely except tina minoru in a lgbtq+ way))

LESLIE IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST!!! the scaly-ness of him is nasty af and the fake-ness of how like pristine he is is unsettling. like what girl? you could legit have anyone else WAIT YOU HAVE A HUSBAND poor frank but also like screw him too

ANYWAYS i’ve only been able to watch the first episode of season two so here are my hot inputs (((you know like hot takes, but hot inputs since i’m input runaway anon? yeah, okay, moving on)))

okay so it wasn’t jonah who framed the kids, it was mr. wilder… what was this mans thinking smh, ooooh i do love how the parents have their own secret lair

EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHH DEANORU

mmmmmm i’m not feeling good about alex “teaming” up with his dad’s ex bestie

BAHAHAHAHAHA gert: “pretty white privilege for the win.” ugh i love gert, she’s the definition of girlboss ((((okay like all the gals are girlbosses, but gert’s the leader of girlbossing))))

okay, nvm i’m tolerating alex’s dad’s ex-bestie, making alex fix up that house for the money is giving major dad joke vibes

YUP IM SOBBING the little funeral they had for graciela was so beautiful, how others began to chop to add as offerings (((((not to mention the little pride flag, it’s the small things))))))

my heart is breaking! gert just needs to believe that she’s good enough for and deserves chase!!! i respect chase for not pushing anything atm but i also just want to shove them together myself and make them hug or kiss or something

OH YEAH SUPER SECRET LAIR FOR THE KIDS THATS SO COOL TRY TO BEAT THAT PARENTS

AWWWWWW OLD LACE CUDDLING WITH MOLLY

oop karolina meeting up with her dad? i feel that’s gonna cause tension once the group finds out

i have lots of free time tomorrow and you can absolutely bet i’ll be spending it watching runways

so until then yours truly,

~ input runaway anon

THE PARENTS ARE SO MESSY that it make sense when some of them ended up being messy like Karolina baby what are you doing and Alex too but it's Alex so like uh what's next (also the whole frank + the religion thing is so messed up like that is a cult sir r u ok why do u wanna join a cult)

Strangers honouring someone they don’t even know??? And it’s people who barely have enough for their own self??? That scene was so heavy ((cause look at the parents who has everything and yet they’re so???))(((the pride flag made me emotional too)))

THE SECRET LAIR!!! They went from one expensive house to another (but it is so cool tho like really, I love the whole vibe). Also, Gert has the best comebacks/lines even in the comic!! SHE AND CHASE ARE THE ONLY HETERO COUPLE I GENUINELY SHIP. You haven't seen the length what their love makes them do (shit will hurt<3)

To end this in the daily word of DEANORU SWEET BABY GAYS. And the Old Lace moments warms my heart, plus Old Lace’s connection with Gert = protecting everyone close to Gert and I AM HERE FOR IT.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO BE SHOCKED BY THE NEXT EPISODES or not, tbh, sometimes it's like ah okay then AHHH THE GAYYSSS and DINOSAUR SO COOL, but that's just me.

Thank you for sharing your hot inputs, input runaway anon <3

[moonlightlullaby]

Joining the call, we’re welcomed by the amigops, Brooke, Karl and Bretman.

“So, everyone, this is my older brother, Dylan!” 

“What’s up, guys? Nice to meet y’all!” variations of hi’s and hello’s hit our ears all at once.

“Hey, Dylan!” Karl chimes after them “Good to see- well, talk to you again, man!” 

“Oh yeah! Thanks for helping us the other day.” Corpse sounds much more relaxed now - I mean, eveyone does… Bottom line is that streaming, however authentic and open you are with your viewers, does put a strain on you, so hearing everyone - myself included - more loose doesn’t really come as a surprise.

“Yeah, wish I could’ve done more. It sucks that you still lost.”

“Hey!” I elbow his side, causing him to dramatically gasp and fake cry and everyone in the call to laugh.

“Yeah, about that, you shouldn’t mention it around Alex. He’s still super bitter about it.” I giggle at Karl’s remark and, on cue, none other than Alex joins the voicechat.

We keep chatting as more people join us, introducing themselves to my brother - and Dave to both of us since it’s our first interaction ever. I’m really intrigued to see how he plays.

Dyl and I have decided to megazord today and play as one - not without some whining from Alex. He’s claimed it would be unfair and disproportional - even though no one else seemed even slightly bothered by it - and has only agreed with it after I’d exposed my brother’s pathetic skills in among us - earning me a glare and a light punch from Dyl - and reminded him of how much better a victory would feel knowing he didn’t trick eight people, but nine.

With Tina’s arrival, we all agree on who will be playing the first round and get the game started. CREWMATE flashes on the screen. Alright, let’s try and stay alive.

Yeah, that didn’t work out. 

For some reason - read: lack of functioning braincellls -, Dyl wanted to do simon says first and, since the universe loves screwing us over, of course Ludwig would walk in and shoot our astronaut just as we’re about to finish the task - after having already failed twice, may I add. Both of us just stop and stare - I, at the ceiling; Dyl, at the white little guy flopped over - before we burst into laughter. 

“Of course this would happen!” he shakes his head and, being his persistent self, opens the task to start all over.

And just in case you’ve ever doubted Murphy’s law, you should definitely reconsider it because guess what happens next: right before Dyl presses the last button, an emergency meeting is called. 

“Alright, fuckers, who did it? Who would hurt my baby girl Y/N like this?” although I feel very honored to see Brooke defending me with so much passion, I can’t contain the giggles that escape my mouth at the contrast between how threatening and intimidating she’s trying to sound and how she actually sounds.

The meeting is not productive at all. No one is sussed and everyone skips. “Don’t worry, D and missy Y/N, we’ll get whoever had the audacity to do this. I promise!” Sweet, Bret, sweet!

When “No one was ejected. (Skipped)” takes over the screen, a low, soft sound fills my ears. However, by the time my brain catches up, the sound’s stopped. Corpse was humming ‘cheater’! Yes, the infamous 2008 nightmare of a song I was stupid enough to share with him!

“Did you show him?” my wide-eyed brother whispers to me. I immediately shush him while muting ourselves at the speed of light. “Dylan!” I whisper-shout, turning to face him. This asshole is smirking! 

I narrow my eyes and furrow my brows, mentally throwing daggers at him and setting his body on fire. I open my mouth, but, before any sound can leave it, a notification pops up: a private message from the one and only boyinaband. A glance at my brother tells me his mind is somewhere else already as he pets Fiyero - I mean, our family’s never been known for our impeccable attention; who would’ve expected it to be any different now? -, so I open his message.

hey, y/n!

don’t mean to make things awkward at all, but i’d like to thank you for whatever you’ve told corpse

yk, he tends to shut off when things get hard, but he reached out the other day for help and company

so thanks

Why is he-? How does he-? What-? I’m…

Has Corpse said anything about me to Dave? Why would he do that? 

No, no... No, Dave might have just guessed it since Corpse and I are constantly talking

...right? 

Yes, yes, it has to be it.

oh also, it’s great getting to meet you and play with you!

you’re really cool indeed :)

Y/N: oh there’s nothing to thank me for, really

but i’m really glad we’ve met too!

i love your content btw and you’re funny af

Dave: thx! 

so it’s lud and...?

he killed me so gracefully idk how to feel

Y/N: jshdfgjhdgfkwfgjewv

fuck idk either

Speaking of imposters, all of our tasks are yet to be done, I should get back to them.

After that round - in which, by the way, Brooke was the other imposter and carried the entire thing after Lud vented in front of Tina, wasn’t able to catch her and got ejected -, the afternoon went on pretty smoothly.

Dylan and I arguing every 2 minutes about what strategy we should follow and ending up with a no-strategy approach. Friends killing - and being killed by - friends, lying to friends, throwing friends under the bus… you know, very friendly things. Dylan and Bretman basically ignoring everyone else and isolating themselves in their own bubble for half of the time. Everyone just vibing to miscellaneous tunes - from Dolly Parton to Wilbur Soot, from CORPSE to BLACKPINK -, and chatting, laughing and having a good time as Toast had proposed.

Without the distraction of an audience and the pressure of being funny or 666 IQ, I got to actually talk to and learn more about Leslie, Dave - who (I was right) is a sweetheart and with whom I hit it off instantly -, Sean, Toast himself and, well, pretty much everyone. 

It’s so crazy how, in a little over one month, you can connect so much with these many people! Some who were complete strangers to you until then and others who you already admired and looked up to… and now, you can call them all your friends. It’s insane!

Fun things while writing that Slasher story i mentioned earlier ft. the vampires from What We Do in the Shadows. These are canon.

-Norman Bates is a dry af texter, one word replies, capitalization and punctuation no matter what. He is unreadable.

-Michael is not as scary as college debt. None of them are.

-Nancy Downs and Bo Sinclair argue constantly and it’s very funny.

-Sam just sort of,,,,showed up and never left. We are all fine with this.

-Tiffany has adopted Carrie White, it’s wonderful. She’s girlbossing the hell out of that house.

-Speaking of girl bosses, Nadja and Tiff are besties, they are so powerful together. They’re your fun aunts that will hype you up and convince you to slash your ex’s tires.

-Lazlo is just,,,so desperate to impress the Lost Boys. He tried and failed to learn how to skateboard because he wanted to be “hip and cool with the fledglings.” He does not want to go on the bikes because last time he road with Marko and he’s a menace.

-Freddy and Pennywise are easy to bully. ESP Pennywise, just say he has a five head and he’ll leave you be. No wonder they mainly target kids and teens.

-Lenz has bitten Brahms. He fears Lenz has given him something.

-Bubba thinks Tiffany is just so cool and pretty. He wants her to do her makeup on him.

-Leslie is the easiest to talk to, our hyperfixations/ hobbies (english major with a creative writing focus in horror and serial killer) line up perfectly. He’s who I go to most often for accuracy checks.

-Candyman, Vincent, and the Lost Boys all mostly rest aside in the basement. Vincent and Candyman tend to both do their own things on opposite side of the room and consider that “socializing”. The Lost Boys don’t bother them since they sleep for most of the day, only really being active at night.

-Vincent has sketches of people he deems interesting in the house. Some of them are more detailed than others due to the subjects not realizing he’s drawing them. The residents he’s drawn so far are Nancy (he thought she looked cool), Candyman (it’s one of the more detailed ones since he actually sat down and let Vincent sketch him), Sam (he’s easy to draw), Tiny Firefly (again, he’s easy to draw), Jason, Choptop, and myself. As of right now he’s working on a sketch of Nandor.

-The Firefly’s don’t live at the Bates place, but they do visit. Baby is good friends with Tiffany, Choptop, and Bubba.

-We have pets!! Jonsey and Muffin, they’re both surprisingly well taken care of. Jason has made it clear that of anyone harms Muffin there will be problems. Jonsey mainly sticks with Lester and Vincent so she kinda avoids everyone else. It’s pretty jarring watching Muffin following Jason around.

-If Jonsey approves of you then you’re cool with the Sinclair’s.

-Muffin is ok with everyone but she mainly sticks around Jason and Bubba (he give her the good table scraps)

-Jason and Norman are seen as sort of the ‘big bosses’ of the house. Norman owns the place while Jason has just been there the longest. seniority baby.

-Kitchen, hallways, and individual rooms are ‘neutral zones’, everywhere else is free game. But, others can enter each other’s rooms as long as there’s no violent intent. The doors do lock from the inside, take that as you will.

-Group dinners are required, and they’re always chaotic as all hell. Norman insists that it’s “Mother’s idea.” But no one’s ever seen his mother sooo

-Brahms is sorta scared of Nancy, his parents warned him about evil, devil-worshipping witches.

[silver-wield]

Can we talk about the scene where Cloud and Aerith wake up after inhaling the gas and when Tifa is telling Cloud why she decided to go see Corneo, Cloud drops his hands and says “seriously??” to Tifa, clearly upset that she put herself in a dangerous situation. It was my first time playing FF7, but I can definitely see how much Cloud is in love with Tifa - it’s so obvious.

Hey, Nonny, ff7 and remake is a wild ass ride so hold on tight and enjoy lol

Ok, spoiler warning for ppl who haven't played – do I still need to do this? Eh ok, (I tag FF7R spoilers as final fantasy 7 remake spoilers) and for once this is gonna be short and sweet.

Also, this is one person's interpretation of the scene, so if you disagree that's cool and we'll agree to disagree.

You're also gonna have to excuse the janky quality on some of the screens, I'm grabbing them from Youtube and it's frustrating af trying to get the exact moment I want.

Other analyses if anyone's interested.

Shinra HQ vision scene (Cloti/plot analysis) 

Chapter 3 (Cloti reblog) 

Tifa character analysis 

Aerith Resolution (plot analysis/theory – I should probably update this since I've had other ideas since then)

Andrea's approval (Cloti ask response) 

Leslie analysis (not mine, but a good read)

Aerti friendship analysis 

Cloti body language chapter 3 

Now, strap in and enjoy the ride.

Quick recap time. Cloud and Aerith successfully infiltrate Don Corneo's place, get knocked out and dumped in the basement. Cloud wakes up to see Tifa leaning over him.

The scene starts off with Cloud looking relieved af that Tifa's not hurt. We know he acted like he wasn't worried about her, that he knew she can kick all the ass, but he totally pouted at not being allowed to help her and was probably hiding that worry throughout the entire section. This is further backed up by his expression in the seconds before he agrees to dance. That firm nod and eyes squeezed shut, you can hear him think to himself that he's doing it for Tifa, and I honestly don't think he'd have done it for anyone else.

I'm sorry, I'm fucking dying at that second screen! It's like he's literally just come back to himself and realised what he's wearing in front of his crush! This is not how he wants her to see him lol This is definitely a real!Cloud expression and I love that we get to see these deep hidden feelings come to the surface, but they’re also not just “omg I love Tifa”, so Cloud’s personality is very much mutifaceted and not just one note.

Poor bby is so embarrassed. He's lucky Tifa agrees to never bring this up again, which she doesn't when we get a callback to it later in the game. His eyes are everywhere but on her and as I've pointed out like a million times in other analysis, Cloud and Tifa do eye contact very well. Usually Cloud is all for staring into her ruby reds, but this time he's doing his best to avoid her. There's no judgement from her, she's just surprised. We probably won’t get this since we’ve moved well past this point, but I’d like for Tifa to acknowledge the lengths Cloud went to for her and thank him -- cue another cute moment?

And this is the moment you're after, Nonny. Cloud is feeling very self-conscious and defensive, which is why he has his arms crossed. He can't do much about his appearance besides put up with it and go full on SOLDIER!Cloud until this nightmare is over lol

At the same time, he can’t go full on SOLDIER!Cloud because he’s with Tifa and his real feelings always surface. He acts instinctively to protect her and shows her favour all the time. He’s always aware of where she is and how she’s feeling, so it’s nice that this hard ass persona he’s crafted to protect himself has such a big flaw that Tifa isn’t even aware she breaks through.

Remember, I just said he's avoiding Tifa's gaze out of embarrassment? Well, now his eyes are back on her and this is one of the few times he's disapproving towards her. Which is actually a good sign because most of the time Cloud is soft af towards Tifa, but this shows he's not just some weak ass puppy with a crush. He doesn't view her through rose tinted specs. He understands that she’s just as flawed as anyone else and can make mistakes.

Conclusion

This is very much a couple moment for Cloti, like plenty of others. It's different in that we're seeing something close to a lovers' tiff. Cloud is disappointed in Tifa's method and shows it, which is good for him because having him be infatuated with her and never question her judgement doesn't make for a healthy relationship. He knows she's mistaken here and doesn't hesitate to voice that to her. Tifa doesn't get a chance to engage with this side of Cloud because Aerith jumps in, so we can only speculate what she's thinking. I didn't get the impression she was about to throw down with him though, more like a lengthy discussion which would likely end in them agreeing they need to continue with her insane plan because they need the info, though Cloud would not be happy about it. All in all a nice bit of relationship development for them.

[firstruleofmethclub]

L'alice and I ran through some MET looks. Thoughts after the cut:

Took two runs at Billie Eilish because the first photo I saw was just like, from the waist up and side-on, I think probably to make her tits stand out more, which like... I know it's fashion, but she's also a teenager 😬 At first I thought it was not very on-brand for her but after looking at some more recent stuff of hers it turns out that is actually very on her new brand. Anyway, taking a look at some more angles the dress is actually bigger than it first seemed and that's cool. I still don't love the colour, and, y'know, I'm not like some Billie Eilish stan that's all "She's letting the REAL fans down by changing the way she presents herself" because... I don't care, but I do think there was something to the reserved alternative stuff she wore in the past. But yeah, I do like it more than I did initially.

Kendall Jenner points for diamond shoulder pads but overall boring af.

Kim Kardashian honestly kind of a left-field Vibe. Like it doesn't look very good, but I'm feeling the concept.

Jennifer Lopez looks like she got Sexy Crocidle Dundee from the teen section of a Spirit Halloween.

AOC sneaky bit of fun, taking the opportunity. Lettering is in my FAVOURITE shade of that like satin-y reflective red, but the dress itself pretty meh.

Lil Nas X my favourite so far. This gallery only has him in his final form, but my favourite part of his outfit was actually the reveal of the middle outfit. I might have liked the VMA's one even more though.

Rihanna's is not bad but it's very... I feel like I've seen exactly this at MET before. I do like it but, kind of not catching me.

Timothee Chalamet's I hate and honestly it's not even that it's on him. Like those shoes especially? Babe... Go home. Tell him if he's gonna wear white to the only thing all year that your outfit actually matters in, he can't play in the dust with the other children.

A$AP Rocky looks comfy. Don't like the colours though.

Lewis Hamilton like ALMOST did something. It was so close but just didn't quite push the envelope far enough.

Lupita Nyong’o looks stunning, but I think that's more her than the jress.

Emily Ratajkowski thinks this is her wedding to a man twice her age.

Gigi Hadid I think is my worst so far.

Okay, I JUST SAW Cara Delevingne. Yes. Even after AOC - THIS is the slogan. This is it.

Naomi Osaka’s I like less the more I look at it.

Russell Westbrook is giving us nothing. Everything I hate about men at the MET.

Stephen Curry gave us not much, but it was something at least.

Justin Bieber just said "Hm, what if I took Timothoiusx Chambamlam's wardrobe, somehow made it worse, but then actually kept it clean?" and invited us all to look in on the experiment and decide if it was better, worse, or the same... And it's basically the same, only difference is that Timothoir's pants might stay up.

I kinda wanna check if Sienna Miller's shawl feels nice. It doesn't look like it would but I think it MIGHT.

Emily Blunt I like but don't love. Cute kids' fairy party headpiece.

Frank Ocean laid down in the moss until he came up with the most unsettling accessory possible, and put none of that effort into his actual 'fit.

Serena Williams' over clashes with the under, but I do really enjoy that over.

Gabrielle Union's dress is actually very cool. Very art. Fuck the theme I guess, but yes, very art.

Lorde I guess thinks America is the country from Midsommar?

Addison Rae wasted her opportunity.

Nicki Minaj didn't go 'cause she's anti-vax... Honey... No.

Tracee Ellis Ross I kiiind of like the collar on. But again, I feel like this has been done to death? And it wasn't even good the first time.

Megan Thee Stallion is fine. No real comment. I like the curvature of the hem.

Rose Leslie might appeal if I didn't hate yellow. Also she's somehow paler than Jon Snow's white tux (who is completely wasting my time, btw).

Now Iman is making a fucking statement! I don't know what she's saying, but she's sure as Hell saying it!

Grimes got the memo about America and thought "I need to take a weapon into this public venue", kudos all round.

Oh there's Naomi Osaka again? I guess she had two looks? Anyway, this outfit I like much better but the hair is an interesting choice. Very that-one-doll-from-Rugrats vibes.

Troye Sivan SAID his dress was leather? It doesn't look it though, which is like.. the point of leather is the look, so?... Cute shoes though.

Dan Levy gets my award for most committed to the theme.

James Corden, real-life annoying cunt, somehow manages to achieve only "Boring" on the red carpet? Eugh.

Leon Bridges tried. I don't like it, but at least he tried.

Ilana Glazer I think is doing a riff on camo? If so, very fair, if not, looks dumb.

Keke Palmer cute.

Missed the horse girls on my first pass. Wild. I'm pulling the same face that one of them is in the photo 😲

Where were they hiding Hunter Schafer & Amandla Stenberg? Why do I have to find two of the strongest looks on Tumblr??

Finally massive props to Nia Dennis for all of what she just did!

That's it.

[totallypathet]

Episode Six

Okay first of all, massive spoiler warning!!

Snaaaaaaatch gaaaaaaame!!! I love snatch game. It's such a good opportunity to shine, and be hilarious, and show us what you can do! It's also the challenge queens have the most time to prepare for, so it's always interesting to see who actually comes prepared...

Also, the runway this week was incredible! I think it's been the best week so far for runway looks, so many of them were sooooo stunning! Who knew that a Frozen theme would bring out the best of the season so far??

Okay, let's get into the breakdown.

1. Aiden Zhane

Oh my god. I am so so so so so so so so glad to see Aiden finally fucking LEEEEEEAVE. It's been a journey guys, but we got here. I am so excited not to have to see that little black wig anymore. Honestly, there was nothing good about her performance this week. I was actually really excited to see someone do Patricia Quinn, it's cool seeing people do references that I hadn't even thought of and salute older parts of LGBTQ history. The reality, though, made me want to jump off a building. It was sooo cringy and sad. There was nothing Patricia about it, she didn't even bother doing the accent. How are you gonna stand in the work room and say "oh I know her, I had lunch with her" and deliver a performance like that?? And also, every question she was just like "I don't even know where I am am!" And it's like... dementia isn't funny. It was just hard to watch.

Her runway was, I think, the best she's ever looked. The wig was still shaky af, but her makeup was really pretty, and her padding was really good. The dress was lovely, but it wasn't very...creative. It was just a blue dress, and the yeti concept was only done from the neck up. It kind of felt like she went to the competition with just the dress, then she saw what everyone else was putting on and was like "oh damn I've got to make a concept out of this somehow!"

Also that lipsync though... it was like watching Vivienne Pinay and Honey Mahogany again, let's just say that.

Tl;dr: she deserved to go, and I'm glad to see her go.

2. Brita

Brita, Brita, Brita. Still bitter af. All she does is talk shit on other people and like...maybe if you stayed in your lane and focused on what you were doing, you wouldn't be in the bottom all the time? Just a thought. Shes another one where it felt like she just didn't do enough research on her character. It's so disappointing, and kinda inexcusable - you know what's coming, you have so much time to prepare and you still don't bother? I don't care for that kind of attitude. Also if she mentions that she won Entertainer of the Year one more time I'm gonna lose my mind. I don't care that you won it! Show me why you won it! Show me why you deserve to win this! I just haven't seen anything from Brita that I've enjoyed. I'm disappointed and underwhelmed.

Her look on the runway was also a bit underwhelming, it was a pretty gown, but it was almost and exact copy of Eureka's glitter look. That comparison has been made already, but it's true. We've seen it, why would you bring a copy of a gown from just 2 seasons ago? Underwhelming.

Her lipsync was also not that good, but she was against Aiden, so of course she won. Excited to see her go next week though!

3. Crystal Methyd

Whew, Crystal was a rollercoaster this week! Poppy was a really tough choice. I didn't know who she was at all, but I looked up a few videos of her after the episode and now I get what Crystal was going for. She actually did a fairly good job of what she was going for, but it just wasn't the right character for snatch game. We all know RuPaul has very simple humour, anything big, slapstick, edgy, all that stuff. The humour Crystal was going for could have been really funny (if I knew more about Poppy, that's on me), but RuPaul was never going to get it. And also, she was trying to do a robotic character like 2 seats down from Gigi, who was also doing a robotic character and killing it, so that's an extra level of difficulty.

Having said all of that. Crystal. Was the best. On. The. Runway. That outfit was incredible! And her makeup was so stunning! And the hair was perfect with it! She absolutely killed that runway, and I was gagged by it. Crystal has turned out so many looks, and I Love It. That runway 100% saved her from the bottom 2 and I could not be happier about it. So proud of her.

One other thing though, I am so bored of the El DeBarge thing. Move on, Ru. Crystal is far far more than a mullet.

4. Gigi Goode

Gigi is an absolute powerhouse this season. Her choice to play a robot was bold, but I live a queen with confidence. And she was confident, she knew what she was doing, she did her research, and she killed the snatch game. I'm so proud of her. One thing I will say, I swear they called the robot Maria, but I thought that human looking AI robot was called Sophia? Maybe there was a copyright issue. Anyway, her performance was so hilarious! The struggling with the cards, the calling everyone a bitch, the mispronouniation of vagina, I loved it all. She came with references, she came prepared, and I stan.

Her look was really great, but I almost feel like it was a little repetitive? I don't know, I just feel like I wasn't surprised by it. It was cute, it was perfectly fitted, there were really gorgeous little details about it, but it was the shape and style I expected from her. Maybe it's because she's set the bar so high leading up to this point, I was just a bit "meh" with her look this week.

She still fully deserved to win, and she did a fantastic job this week.

4. Heidi N Closet

Heidi also did a good job this week. Her Leslie Jones was a safe performance, she made me laugh, she had the look down, I was not at all mad at it. Was it perfect? No. Was it good? Absolutely. I enjoyed it. I'm glad she didn't do Phaedra Parkes. I really don't enjoy when Ru tries to change their characters in the walk through. They've brought information, and references, and preparation (most of them); and you want them to throw all that away and do someone else just because you think so? No. I will grant that sometimes Ru points them in the right direction when they're choosing between 2 characters - but I don't like when he just pulls a character out of nowhere for them.

Heidi's look was also really great; she was giving me 2018 Met Gala Rihanna but in Winter. Her makeup was stunning, she looked so pretty. The only thing I didn't love was the shoes. I kind of wish she'd just gone for a white or silver pump. The fur was too much for me.

Good week for Heidi, definitely a safe performance, I'm glad for her.

5. Jacki Cox

Jackie 👏 came 👏 prepared 👏 I have never watched Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, I was only vaguely aware of Lisa Rinna nefore the snatch game, but I still found her performance so funny! She looked just like her, she sold me who Lisa Rinna was really quickly, so I was able to laugh at the rest of her jokes. I didn't specifically know Lisa Rinna, but we all know a woman like that, so I could still get the humour. I might not have caught all the references, but it was still funny. That's how you play snatch game. You need to be able to make people laugh even if they don't know who you're actually portraying. I absolutely loved Jackie this week.

Her runway look was also stunning! I loved the snowflake, I loved her makeup, and I adored her hair. Jackie is so good at serving something so different every week but still sticking to her brand and her signature. I love Jackie.

6. Jaida Essence Hall

Jaida's Cardi B was really good! She looked just like her, sounded just like her, had her humour down... absolutely solid performance from Jaida.

Her look this week was also soooo beautiful! She's such am absolutely stunning queen, her makeup skills are incredible, she knows her body, she knows what suits her, and she rocks it every week.

The only thing for me with Jaida is I feel almost a little...disconnected from her. I just don't feel like I've seen the vulnerability from her like we've seen from Heidi, or Jackie. And that doesn't mean I want her to tell some horrific story from childhood, I just mean that when we see her she's always on, yknow? And I get that it's a tv show, and a competition show at that; I just wish we could see her humanity a little bit. Having said that, I totally get that queens of colour (and particularly black queens) get so much hatred from the drag race fandom, and I completely understand that it would be difficult to open up and be vulnerable after seeing what other black queens have been through during and after the show.

Nevertheless, she is utterly incredible and so deserving of a top spot. She's a real contender for winner of season 12.

7. Jan

I love Jan. I love her so much. Shes so excited to be there, she's working so hard, and I appreciate it so much. Her Bernadette Peters was not great. Or maybe it was, I have no idea who she is. And she didn't sell me, like Jackie did. It was kind of a shame. I feel like Jan has the talent to have done almost anyone, and she just picked someone that I feel like took too much explaining. Still a solid performance - for me she was on a level with Heidi. Solid performance, solid runway, good week.

I did like Jan's runway look more than Heidi's though, I loved the concept. Jan is another one who has pulled out something very different every week, but still stays distinctly Jan. I love her makeup as well! Jan doesn't get enough recognition for her makeup skills, she's really talented, she paints beautiful faces, and is not afraid to get artistic and high fashion.

8. Widow Von Du

I love Widow so much, but everything she did this week was just slightly off. I thought her Ike & Tina performance was actually a bit of a shame, I think she focused too much on having a gimmick that her performance suffered. The thing about switching characters in snatch game is that both characters have to be really good (and equally good), otherwise it just feels a little messy. Her performances just weren't quite there this week. I wish she'd just picked one and spent a little more time perfecting it.

Her runway also wasn't quite there. I loved the concept, she did something so different from everyone else, and I love when queens pull off a standout look. Her makeup and the ice on her face was also incredible, she honestly has the most beautiful face. I just wish that dress had hit the floor. I wish the skirt had been a little more full (maybe more petticoats?), and it had hit the floor. Widow does have this awful habit of wearing ugly shoes - and if the gowns hit the floor it just wouldn't matter. It was a shame.

Still a solid week and a decent performance, don't get me wrong; I just keep wishing for her to really pull it out and succeed, and she's just slightly missing the mark for me at the moment.

Okay, now I'm gonna say something kind of controversial about this season; I wish Jan, Jackie, and Widow weren't on it. I wish they were on next season. I'm saying that because I think they're all so incredible, and I think they all could potentially win a season - if they weren't on with Gigi Goode and Sh***y P**. Gigi has been so unstoppable, and I love her, but she's kind of overpowering, and I really want to see someone other than her (or Sh***y P**) win a challenge. I mean, it's no secret that Sh***y P** was pre selected to be top 4, and this season has been geared towards her, so of course she's been winning challenges. It just has almost become like a 2 person competition, and it's a shame! Because there's so many other queens who deserve wins, and deserve recognition, and they're not getting it because the top 2 is like always those 2. I'm not mad at Gigi, bc she's slaying the competition and she's working really hard; I just feel like there's been seasons where Jackie, Jan, or Widow would have absolutely killed it and won, but this season they're just not getting the recognition they deserve. Just my opinion!

TLW Gen Q episode 5

Spoilers ahead

Shane's happy trail 😍

Ugh sleepy wakeup sex

God her wife is so damn foine.....oh shit daddy shane anyone?

See this is exactly what i would be super cool with between me and one of my future partners

Damnnnnn Shane met her whole match whew slowed her track running ass all the way down

Aww she feels guilty 😭

Clear the sex smell, clear it and oh fuck.

Angie, be a good friend please. Yay.

Ooo Angel Olsen is my shit

Oh wow shes a former alcoholic bartender, that has to be fucking rough

Aww tess is gonna help our little bb

She's hot, I would have had sex with her too.

Personalized calls are such a good touch.

Awwww Shane's lil southern accent.

❤ I love these 2 I want them to get married and live happily ever. As little drama as possible.

Are you fucking kidding me...fuck him

Jaime's eyes are so fucking gorgeous what the hell

This is a conversation that needs to be had. Also healthy polyamory can be a whole ass thing, ooo this is a very good conversation. I love Alice being supportive, which we knew she would be, and a healthy partner. Alice no lie probably has explored polyamory a few times.

Dani's dad is a dickhole also this probably should not be held on the largely public company stairs.

Tess please go off on Shane or stay mad because someone has to be.

Finley is an non-accountable alcoholic I don't think that her running the bar is a good idea at all. Her boo has it right she needs to figure shit out especially without alcohol. She is not ready to be in the serious ass relationship that her pastor bae wants.

Imagine if someone had done that shit to Shane when she was young. Wow so all she got his her dad and he's not even there really. Shit.

Sophie sweetie this is not the time.

Oh so she really does give a fuck about Lena. Nooo no 😩

Nigga y'all only been dating for like a month maybe 2 months tops and you are all over the fucking place. How are you in love? Don't you dare try to force that boy into saying he loves you, take it slow.

Wait what how did we go from love to sex? Can I just sat I don't like how they are writing these two like at all. Yes they shoot them beautiful and I like the conversations about sex, showing a trans man in a healthy sexual relationship. But, I am would like the writing to be better.

At least she is a fun tipsy person right. Finley really didn't even try to stop her. Ugh no this is going to end very badly. I feel like Shane is gonna fire her and that pisses me off.

GO AWAY Leslie, you want this woman to lie to her child when you are still with your husband. The ink isn't even dry or on those divorce papers. 👏 Bette

Ayy healthy polyamory and boundaries yes. Communi-fucking-cation is a beautiful thing.

Everyone processes things differently and that is okay, as long as you talk about it after.

Pleasedon'tfuckPleasedon'tfuckPleasedon'tfuckPleasedon'tfuckPleasedon'tfuckPleasedon'tfuckPleasedon'tfuckPleasedon'tfuck

Bette is about to turn into Mama B 😭. Adopt a gay Bette, she been there too. Unfortunately her dad was a dbag too.

Can Shane and Chiara make out again? I'm just trying to see something. 👀

Awww yay this is so gay and wholesome and I love it.

OMFG COMPERSION ITS BEAUTIFUL.

I love how they all are taking a million photos, they are such good aunts and uncles.

Ayyy Shane said sniff sniff I smell another gay is in the family. (I called this though like episode one which is cute) Shane is a great uncle.

Ooo drunk Tess and Finn is funny af but also I do not need a drunk relationship to start like I really really don't. I pray this ends up as just a one night stand kind of deal. Finley is not really the best thing for Tess's sobriety at all.

Shit I actually think Bette is in the right here but that is not how everyone else will see this.

Preview thoughts: I think Alice and Gigi are cute and Alice's gf should also look at how cute they are. Shane's teaching Angie to drive! Oh Fuck. Yaknow what Fin maybe go work on your issues and then try at these relationships. Don't break my new moms up please 😭

[enthusiasticmusicalquotes]

project runway commentary ep 10

still lowkey pressed that brittany was saved but whatever i guess

i bet marquise or brittany gonna won the whole show cuz that’s such a good plot to be like “they were SO CLOSE to leaving and now they WON”

ew tie dye that’s sort of a tacky challenge like sorry but even the “chic” looks they showed didn’t look good

oh so they’re just gonna get no sleep and everyone will be crazy come next day

AHH DELVIN’S MONTAGE OF HIM SLEEPING IN THE WORK ROOM WHILE SAYING HE WOULD NEVER SLEEP IN THE WORK ROOM

i feel like they’re all gonna do ombré

all of their designs are really quite ugly i’m worried

victoria truly loves to critique everyone for using the same silhouette when she’s basically never changed her silhouette

no one doing new silhouettes like change ur costume girl change it around

god sergio just shut up

i don’t think sergio realizes that making garments with a political statement literally does nothing to help under privileged people like at all

geoffrey’s colors are hideous it reminds me of that camping unconventional materials challenge last season

fun note elaine is from my city

this onesie thing is so cute haha this is why they did a no sleep challenge

ofc sergio didn’t do the onesies like he’s the biggest fun sponge

DELVIN AHH THEY ARE ALL SO DELIRIOUS

this is so funny omg they’re going insane and it’s hilarious

what kinda 4 year old girl look is sergio making

they’re still wearing the onesies omg that’s so cute

it’s so cute how happy leslie is to be there

nancy’s is pretty but that pant luv change the silhouette my sister says it looks like a toasted marshmallow, sergio’s looks nice but the silk is weird and she looks like a little girl on easter, i don’t exactly understand the cape on victoria’s but i appreciate a new silhouette and it’s pretty weird but dd is the cutest thing and leslie hyping them up is adorable, i think marquise’s is cool af like idk yah it’s sort of ice skating but i like it, delvin’s is ugly like really not good very middle aged woman on easter and also terrible construction, brittany’s is actually really gorgeous like it’s super pretty and aesthetic and soft, ok woah geoffrey’s is really gorgeous that’s incredible and OMG I LOVE LESLIE

if sergio’s is top i’m throwing hands

oh no he is top that’s annoying af

sergio: umbray

ok but yes i would see this as a michelle obama look but i just don’t think it’s fresh

geoffrey’s really is incredible like the construction and silhouette are impeccable

yah if the top of nancy’s was like a fitted crop top or would have been a lot better

victoria’s pants are hideous

yayyy geoffrey deserved that win

geoffrey is like the sweetest kindest angel truly

sad delvin is leaving cuz i liked him but he deserved it his look wasn’t good

replied to your post

“Thank you SO MUCH for reposting all of that Glee content! I'm new here...”

I know, I'm super late! I started watching Glee sometime last year & went to the LMDC Tour a few months ago. I formed a friendship with this girl while we were waiting for the doors to open and since then, we've been each other's go-to for all things Klaine/Glee/fanfiction. I wanted to find more people to discuss this new found obsession of mine and came across your blog! :)And YES, I would LOVE A TOUR! This is all very exciting for

I also have a ficblog: @todaydreambelieversfic​ where you can find new fic!

It took me way too long to actually get all of this finished, but I used my road trip with @flyawayrachel for a video assignment for my TV class. Here’s that video, which I LOVE ((and that hardly EVER happens when I make things)), and the world’s longest highlights post -- including all three days of the trip, and also show notes -- is under the cut

Monday

Me walking from Rachel’s apartment to her campus because I needed a bathroom. Then the first building I found ((which did have a bathroom, thank GOD, because //someone// forgot to go while I was stopped in LFK)) being the one she’s traumatized about and can’t go into, forcing me to wait for her in a building where she weren’t, just because I needed to pee.

“I placed ‘toilet’ very high on my priority list”

We hadn’t seen each other since like July, so there was SO MUCH to catch up on

Side note: no more of this three-months-separated thing. We missed too many stories and it’s not OK.

Me texting Madison like “this is crazy but come to Denver with us right now today”

When my dad found out we went to KFC for lunch, the first thing he said was “I’ve eaten at that KFC with your mom before!”

That gas station I made Rach stop at so I could take another bathroom break. Y’know, the one with two stalls in one room and NO DOOR, just a little half-wall between them? Yeah, that one.

“Do we like Frank? Cool, I’m on Team Frank then.” In the words of one of my kids, “VILE FRIENDSHIP!”

“There we go, that’s an appropriate Hitler joke.”

“Do … something cute with the maps.” “Out here? Where people can see?”

Me: “This is gonna sound crazy, but let me text my dad. I think we stopped at this rest stop when we went to the Grand Canyon. I remember the museum.” ((closure time: I was right, we did. That trip was four years ago.))

Checking into the hotel on my corporate rate and then dissecting the agent’s check-in skills in the elevator.

Wandering into the hotel next door because it’s the chain I work at and I wanted to scope out the competition.

Then the look on Rachel’s face when I straight up told their agent “I work at another *brand name* and wanted to see what y’all have going on.”

Snapchatting my GM about the hotel we stayed at and her saying “I bet their FD girl isn’t as amazing as ours.”

Especially when she found out that we had to do the lobby wander of shame because no one told us where the elevator was.

Our hotel room had a little curtain separating the bed and the fold out and Rachel was SO EXCITED ABOUT IT ((see the video)).

Watching all of Indoor Boys in one sitting because it only takes like an hour and a half and Rachel needed to see it

How excited I was about the bedspreads being cuter than the ones in my hotel ((theirs are polka dot AND match the towels in the bathroom; my property’s are houndstooth and the towels are just plain white))

Me briefly thinking the bathroom had no door before Rachel saved the day

Rachel wanting a Frosty at 11 p.m.

Which was easily solved, because there was a Wendy’s in the parking lot.

A much harder one was my sudden and intense craving for curly fries.

Arby’s closed at 10, but Jack in the Box is 24 hour and has curly fries.

So off we went.

ONLY THE ONE WE WENT TO HAD A HANDWRITTEN SIGN ON THE DRIVE THRU THAT THEY CLOSED AT 10.

I called another store and the dude was high key judgmental that I didn’t just //know// they’re 24-hours, as if I hadn’t just been betrayed by a store that should have been and wasn’t.

But they did have curly fries, so I got my curly fries.

Also we went to 7/11 so I could try the Captain Crunch Crunch Berry Slurpee. Which tastes EXACTLY like the cereal. You decide if that’s good or not. I thought it was, Rach decidedly did not.

Tuesday

I literally ate just a bowl of oatmeal toppings for breakfast. No oatmeal, just the toppings bar.

Rach stayed up in the room and slept in, so I brought her some yogurt. Only I wasn’t sure what flavor she’d want, so she got both peach and blueberry fruit on the bottom.

OUTLET SHOPPING. Do you have any idea how long it’s been since I’ve been able to just leisurely wander around a mall and shop? Like without having a place to be at a time and/or a list of exactly what I did and didn’t need to buy?

Sam’s Lunch! ((which was then a total bust when they only had like two samples out))

“So hindsight, the Ulta looks further from here than it did from the highway.” “Yeah, you think so?”

The decision to ramen for lunch, which was then overridden when Tokyo Bowl was only one dollar sign on google and the ramen place was two.

Which was totally OK because the food was both fantastic and inexpensive

The part of the car ride where I caught up with my best friend since I was literally a year old.

High Street being just a little bit too fitting in Denver

The candy factory tour!! I’m a sucker for both free tourism and demonstrations. Especially when there’s free samples involved.

Fun fact: the flavored part of the fancy candy canes is NOT the striped part. It’s the inside layer.

Also that little kid in the group with us. “Do they send candy to Idaho? I am from Idaho.” “Do they help the elves make the candy?”

“Should I buy a whole pound of marshmallow scraps?” “It’s only five dollars.” “Right, but then I’ll eat the whole pound of marshmallows and we both know that.”

BRO-dway!

Me forgetting the theatre sharpie in the hotel room and making you circle back to get it, even if it was only two blocks

Our high-quality karaoke sessions in the car. What we lack in training, we more than make up for in enthusiasm.

Just the amount of screaming when we drove by the tour bus

Circling the block twice before we could get into the parking garage

We stopped at a fun little art exhibition thing between the parking garage and the theatre, literally just because the sign said “Under Study.” Then I looked at Rach and said “well, we always say understudies need more appreciation.”

I panicked as we crossed the train tracks NOT in the crosswalk, then again when we crossed the next set in the lines but I could distantly hear a train coming

((side note: Katie is NOT cut out for mass transit))

Tour bus photos are hard, but we made it work and they’re awesome!

I’m now the proud owner of my very own DEH cast hoodie, which I “conveniently forgot” to take home this weekend so mom can commandeer it until Christmas

Backstory: Katie is both afraid of heights and suffering altitude sickness, which results in lightheadedness and shortness of breath in … oh, I dunno, mile-high elevation

We had an extra ticket and decided to RAK it to someone who was sitting in an upper balcony so they could join us closer to the stage.

Which was/is a great idea, except that it required going to the upper balcony. Via the stairs. So by the time we got up there, the altitude sickness meant I couldn’t breathe. Leading me to step out to the little patio thing for some fresh air – usually slightly easier for me to breathe – while Rach scouted around for people.

Lack of forethought: BALCONIES ARE HEIGHTS.

So the first time I meet our new friend, it’s me zipping up behind Rachel and saying something about how I sure really would like to go back down in the elevator and get back to ground level.

Which we did, because Rach knows I’m like this and she’s wonderful and amazing

That made things … a lot better, and I was able to enjoy having a new theatre friend.

Which was wonderful, and she’s wonderful and that was such a neat thing to be able to do.

The Show

So we’ll start this one from taking our seats TEN ROWS FROM THE STAGE.

We’re gushing about how close we are to the stage and how great the view is and everything when I see someone coming up the back aisle who looks kinda familiar.

“Hey … is that Pasek and/or Paul?” “Nah, I don’t think so. Wait … YES IT IS!”

Cue us freaking out and shoving Rachel to the front of the group because I’m incapable of approaching people.

Long story short, we got autographs from Pasek and Paul, pics with Paul and Alex Lacamoire, and at intermission we got signatures from Michael Grief.

People kept asking us like “who those guys were” and we just went “they created the show!!”

Now this is where things are gonna get incoherent, because I spent 15 minutes gushing out thoughts as soon as the show ended and I got home, and I’m just going to type them out here.

Ben Levi Ross’s Evan and I do the same lil hands on face/neck/ears thing when we’re anxious.

Merrick’s Connor did the same little finger gesture thing I do at work when I give people directions to the elevator in my hotel during Sincerely, Me and I basically just DIED.

BLR’s Evan seemed so much less worldly than OBC, but Zoe was grown up AF

Larry was STUNNING and AMAZING

Tbh I got hella Leslie Knope vibes from Cynthia

Larry’s arms around Cynthia and his hand on her shoulder when they talked to Heidi and literally just Larry

Marrick’s rubbing and then sudden/intense nipple twist in Sincerely, Me

Everyone was SO GRATEFUL we were there to see the show

BLR hit the stage door in this amazing vintage pinstriped blazer. I told him I loved his jacket and I don’t know which one of us was more excited about that moment.

Rachel and I crushing each other’s hands the entire show ((it’s been five days as of this writing and the bruises are just now mostly healed))

Marrick missed a cue and the poor bab looked terrified

One word BLR said gave me like alarmingly intense vibes from the cast album, and it’s something I noticed right away, but now I can’t remember what word it was. But it sounded JUST LIKE Platt, in a very shooketh way

BLR tied the tie perfectly onstage and I’m shook. When I wear my tie to work, I have to get up 15 minutes earlier to have time to get it tied the right length

Jared’s Jared was 20/10. Amazing delivery and fantastic comedic relief

There were all these little costume changes from Broadway, since so many things had been thrifted

IT TOOK ME WAY TOO LONG TO NOTICE but Connor is wearing Evan’s hoodie, not the other way around, and I can prove it.

It’s on Evan’s bed during Anybody Have a Map?

I heard a voice behind me during Act Two, and my first thought was my usual “what kind if imbecile …” But then I realized it was Michael Grief, and like it’s his show, so he can do what he wants.

Same thing when Justin Paul used his phone as a light source so he could take notes on the show.

We mentioned to Arron at the stage door that we skipped two days of school and drove nine hours to see the show and he goes “It’s your life. You gotta live it.”

BLR finished the stage door line before Christiane did, so he passed behind her on his way back into the theatre and 10000 percent patted her ass football-style.

In For Forever I totally thought the original lyric was “life will be alright for forever,” not “LIKE WE’LL be alright for forever” and that hit me harder than it should have tbh

Dude, Larry hit me so hard at the beginning, like he recites part of the letter and it took me until now to realize how many times he must have read it over before that moment

Zoe’s wardrobe was so classy

Evan straight up hugging into Connor’s chest at the end of Sincerely, Me

At the stage door, Phoebe almost fell off her heels and said “that’s what I get for wearing stilts. But I’m out here with all these dudes, like I’ve gotta assert my dominance.

It was a Moment, especially when I replied “I don’t even need stilts to fall down. It just happens sometimes.”

FREE OPENING NIGHT HATS. I’m not a hat-wearer, but this hat might just make me into one.

We made friends with an eighth grader at the stage door, and she was so wonderful honestly.

The three of us referred to ourselves as “trash” and her mother looked so concerned

Post-Show/Wednesday

Rachel and I parted ways as soon as she dropped me off back at the hotel, so you’ll have to hit her up for her Wednesday stories.

But we were at the stagedoor when @crazygoblinfreakoutnoise just texted me like KATHERINE *lastname* so I replied like “can I call you and scream?” because that felt safer than texting her in mass caps while we walked alone in the dark in an unfamiliar city.

Then I woke up Wednesday at 4:30 a.m. ((kinda, I had so much post-show rush that I didn’t actually sleep much at all)) and ate my leftovers from Tokyo Bowl before I called an Uber.

Chattiest Uber driver EVER. It was a 45-minute ride and by the end of it, I knew about his divorce, how long his family has had season sports tickets, why he doesn’t go to the games, all the major highways in Denver, everywhere he’s ever traveled … the list goes on. But he did get me there safe

I’d left hella early because the TSA said Denver was super busy and had lots of delays at security. So I’m to the airport a full 150 minutes before my scheduled flight, full of excitement about being enough of an adult to manage my own road trip travels.

Then security took maybe half an hour. Not even that, but I’ll be generous.

Point is, I had lots and lots of time to explore.

And then they delayed my flight 40 minutes.

So I dropped seven bucks on a cup of coffee, trying to combat the two non-consecutive hours of sleep I was running on.

I did get to see the sun rise over the mountains with airplanes in the background though, and that view was incredible.

By the time I got to board, I really needed to pee, but I didn’t have time, and then both of my row-mates fell asleep before we even took off.

Also we sat on the tarmac for almost an hour. So by the time we landed I REALLY had to pee.

Finally got to a bathroom, and made it out to meet my dad, for a ride back to Rachel’s place to pick up my car.

We went for lunch before we did that, and longtime followers might remember the fries that changed my life back in April. I had more of those, and they’re still amazing.

I had to use two of my last four percent cell battery ((look, it’d been a really long day)) to re-reschedule a test. The plan had been to take it when I got back to campus, but then delays happened.

Happy ending: took the test the next day, set the curve with a 94 percent.
