Resuming with commentary posts on my battles, am I, now? Why, yes; yes, I am.

The decision to make this video in the form and format in which it now exists came very sporadically in a sudden stroke of inspiration following roughly a year of inactivity from MERB, after which it was immediately and rapidly produced. As of MERB #51, the next battle was intended to simply be Petyr Baelish Vs. Bigfoot, which had been part of long-term plans for years beforehand as evidenced by the cryptid's silhouette teased among other characters at the end of MERB #42. The idea was amusing enough on paper, but come time to actually make the battle, I found Bigfoot exceedingly difficult to work with as a figure, leading me to keep putting off on writing it, and by July of 2022, the amount of time that had passed without a battle from me was well-past the point where the initial concept for MERB #52 wouldn't have cut it as a hiatus-breaker.

As such, I revamped plans while still refusing to outright go back on the in-video promises of both Littlefinger and Bigfoot, using V.V. Argost from The Secret Saturdays as a more specific and less nebulously-defined version of the latter while formatting the video as a meta-commentary on my own poor scheduling, using it to establish a roadmap going forward and adding additional characters whom I was interested in using yet had no solid conventional matchups for (or whose would-be matchups would be incompatible with others I was now planning in one particular case). The first MERB News is something of a pet personal favorite among my older videos, after all.

I remain extremely grateful to Justin Mike Buckner, now known as Mr. Jay, for playing Joseph Smith here in what is definitely a solid candidate for the single best verse in my entire series, partially on account of its unrivaled length but definitely solidified by his performance. Skeep Tieel as the Crypt-Keeper is another highlight in this lineup, and Finn McCool as Argost warrants mention as well in terms of vocal talent from fellow YouTubers here. Even though he's only a cameo in this, it was also cool to have Yobar in an actual completed video after his MERB debut as Nom Anor in Sonic Vs. Star Wars ended up being relegated to audio-only status.

As stated in its outro, every character I had planned to use in the seven battles announced through this video is hinted at in its lyrics; this is no longer the case, but only on account of plans being expanded to include two more battles, with the "season" (which has occupied half the time my series has existed at this point, I know) currently intended to end at #60.

I'm well-aware that despite it serving as an announcement of a major return my quantity of output since this video has remained severely wanting, which I'll admit has had to do with me relapsing into investment in cartoon girls being [REDACTED]. As of this posting, here's hoping once more to pick up the pace going forward, and that the resumption of my activity here on Tumblr will help keep me motivated in that regard...

for these and other reasons i think it can be weird and dishonest when people assess hamilton as, like, a piece of hip-hop before they assess it in its more relevant context, which is as a piece of musical theater

(i don't think the op of this is being dishonest or weird; they are properly naming and contextualizing some of the reasons why this approach doesn't work)

This is a serious question so I apologize in advance if it comes off sounding stupid but I don't know enough about music to phrase this any other way:

What, specifically, is it that makes Lin Manuel Miranda's rap (specifically Hamilton) bad? Is it that the lyrics are cheesy, or is it more technical (e.g., awkward or poor rhythm, uninspired or deriviarive melodies and beats)?

Let me start by saying that some people have their own various reasons for disliking Lin Manuel Miranda and his work more broadly, and that these non-musical views about him often influence how people see his music.

With that said, there is much to dislike about his brand of rap. It is very cheesy, tedious in a Spiritual Lyrical Miracle kind of way, and often draws more from the history of musical theater than from the history of hip-hop (in a bad way). This itself is enough to turn many people off. But these problems are made so much worse by the fact that it takes itself so seriously. Even ignoring the fawning praise it's received, "Hamilton" genuinely seems to believe it's the first work of its kind in hip-hop, and that everyone must revere it as such.

The desperate "we are doing something important here!" approach present throughout "Hamilton" may fool Broadway and New York Times theater critics, but it has been seen a million times before by people who actually follow hip-hop. The idea of a rap opera had been done before. The idea of a rap biography had been done before. The idea of a hip-hop concept album lambasting mainstream US politics from the inside had been done before. The idea of using rap to describe US political history in detail had been done before. Yet the insistence upon treating "Hamilton" the way that it has been received and the way that it so clearly wants to be received, as this dramatic masterpiece which has elevated the barbarian world of rap music into True Art, pushes its actual music from the realm of "meh, I see what he was going for but it's not for me" into "this is simply obnoxious" territory

fyi regarding your snake story as a treat, if you have a sous vide machine, an instant pot, or even perhaps a yogurt maker, you can pasteurize raw eggs yourself in 50 to 57.5 minutes at a water temperature of 58°C (136.4°F). alternatively, you can get already pasteurized eggs (src seriouseats (.) com/how-to-pasteurize-eggs-8675279) !

i want you to imagine me as this slavering yolk soaked cave creature, skin half translucent, hair wild, eyes too big and too wide to be used for seeing, teeth too sharp to be stored in something as soft as a mouth. and it's looking at you like it is considering what would pour out of you if it picked you up and rapped you gently on the side of a bowl. perhaps more eggs. it likes eggs. and you are explaining to this beast all the ways that it could safely eat and consume eggs. you are telling it how it could use a souse video, or a pressure cooker, and you are using words like pasteurize, and the thing says pasteurize back to you, and it says it so clearly that you think it must definitely understand you, but you miss the key part, which is that it said it in your voice. it's such an easy thing to miss because your voice sounds so different when it doesn't echo all the length of your jawbone, around in all that bone. such an easy thing to miss.

that cave thing is me. all this typing, all these words, these are just my trick to get people to step closer to me, so that i can crack them open and drink their yolk. the mormons came once, and they got halfway through teaching me how to pray before i slurped them down. but if it had worked, if i had been taught how to talk with god, i'd have prayed in the dark, in my hole, until He came down to see what all the ruckus was. and then i'd have licked the marrow from His bones.

(also i just poach eggs now, it's fine, it's easy, it feels very classy.)

Wolf 359 characters and their fave musicals

From an MT major who has hamlet due tomorrow 9 am

(Warning some of these might be too niche)

Eiffel - Back To The Future

Now walk with me for this one. It might seem too on the nose but I mean, it’s not your traditional bway musical, the music is very modern, based on a film he likes and probably has seen a thousand times before, and for what I’ve heard it has A FLYING DELOREAN !!! So yeah, I think he’d really like this musical

Minkowski - Rent

She’s canonically a theatre kid and she DEF gives me Sondheim fanatic vibes but if she had to choose a favorite (I don’t think she’d have one, it would change depending on the day) then she’d say Rent because it’s probably one of the shows that made her fall in love with theatre, besides the whole “no other road, no other way. No day but today” message too.

This was the hardest to do so here are some honorary mentions:

Wicked, Sunday in the park with George, Les Miserable, into the woods, come from away

Hera - Love In Hate Nation

Okay I might be biased because I did this musical last summer BUT hear me out. It’s about this bunch of badass girls in a juvie hall in the 60s who fight for revolution against society norms (and end up burning down juvie hall). Plus, a cute love story between two of the girls!!

I just think she would enjoy a catchy badass musical about girls singing against the system !!

Hilbert - Chess

A musical about Russian and American spies in a love triangle and play chess?? Sign him up

Tbf I don’t even think he’d enjoy musicals but if he did I think he’d enjoy chess.

Lovelace - In The Heights

Pushing the afro latina Isabel Lovelace agenda, I don’t think she would enjoy traditional musicals but things like pop/rock and hip hop modern musicals could get a pass. In the heights it’s the perfect balance for her of Latin, hip hop and broadway.

Jacobi - Sweeney Todd

Listen, this guy knows which classical music piece uses literal canons on their orchestra, he would love this one due to all the litters of fake blood that there are. I also like to think he’s a fan of the sopranos for Sweeney, if you’ve ever heard the opening at least, you know the iconic crescendo. Besides it’s a dark musical I think he’d like.

Honorary mentions: Hamilton, it’s the hip hop and rap that would catch him

Maxwell - The Book Of Mormon

The Reverend’s daughter??? Yes. She understands the satire of it, the irony and dark humor. Even though I think at first she would have been skeptical about it but once she gave it a chance it was a hilarious piece with a great soundtrack

Honorary mentions: Moulin Rouge. Idk I just think she’d like the musical

Kepler - Company

As a theater kid Kepler truther, he is another Sondheim fan, specially to compare him to ALW. But I think he can appreciate every piece of musical theatre even if he will always say the old musicals are way better. I think he’d like company since it is a musical about a man his age and his life struggles with such a fantastic and iconic soundtrack

Honorary mention: Cabaret. Ironic, but he’d love everything about it too.

[internetgiraffekid1673]

It says in your little thing that your Mormon, are you still Mormon cuz respectfully I've heard a lot of shit about Mormons and how they are very transphobic and homophobic! So not trying to be rude just genuinely wondering if I read that wrong or something.

Hey! Yeah, I am a mormon, but I love all my queer siblings, including/especially my trans people. But it's a complicated religion and I have a complicated relationship with it, so I understand the confusion.

The short answer is that I was raised mormon, continue to find a lot of comfort and truth in SOME of their teachings, and I am perpetually very pissed with a lot of their other teachings, cuz yeah, a lot of them are Not Good. So I'm mormon and mad about it. It's kind of like. . .imagine if you were raised Catholic and only really have good memories of your Catholic community and find a lot of comfort in teachings about God's love, but you absolutely despise the administration of the Catholic church and like, everything they say about queer people. It's like that.

The long answer is this:

A) The mormons get a bad rap on the internet for stuff that isn't actually true. If you ever have a specific question, I am happy to answer to the best of my abilities.

B) Having said that, a lot of the teachings of the mormon church regarding queer people are really really bad and I do not support or encourage this even slightly. I myself am queer, and I have to put up with hearing all kinds of queerphobic shit from the church all the time. And I hate it and I speak against it whenever it is safe for me to do so. It just. All of it goes soooo against the other teachings of the church. I am not the only queer member. There is an entire community of us on tumblr over here. We all work and suffer through it together.

C) I still believe in the stuff that's at the fundamentals of the gospel though. Namely, God exists and he loves all of us unconditionally. He sent us to Earth so that we could learn and grow and become happier through our experiences here. Free agency/the ability to make independent choices is very VERY important to him. He sent Jesus Christ to suffer for our sins so that when we do fuck it up, we don't have to live with that guilt forever. Jesus also suffered for our pain and sorrow so that we didn't have to and can bring us healing. We're supposed to love our neighbors with our whole hearts.

I also believe that Joseph Smith did translate the Book of Mormon, although he was still a human being who made mistakes and I don't believe in a LOT of the stuff he said and did. I doubt you've read the Book of Mormon, but it's really just The Bible Extended Edition. There's a reason it's full name is The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It covers what the hell was going on in the Americas during the biblical times.

I also believe that God has chosen prophets for our modern day to continue giving us revelation. I also believe those prophets are mostly crusty old men with outdated personal opinions that they mistake for revelation, that they fuck it up a lot, and I wish a lot of them would hurry up and die so I no longer have to listen to their bullshit.

D) Religion and faith are personal. I'm not here to convert anyone, especially other queer people. I continue practicing my religion because I have had literal years and some really amazing people to help me sort out what is good and bad and to figure out what parts of it are best for me as a person. I understand that what's best for some people is literally none of it, and I also understand that while some people could benefit from just doing what I do, that the way the church treats queer people (and also women sometimes) does more harm than the good parts help. So while I talk about my religion sometimes, it's always more about my personal relationship with it and never to try to convert people. I fully support ex-mormons who left the church, because sometimes the environment can be truly toxic and the religious trauma they have experienced is real.

E) The culture of the church and the actual doctrinal teachings of the church are two very different things. Utah mormon culture is also different than regular mormon culture. All of these things have good aspects to them, but church culture and Utah mormon culture also have a lot of really harmful things too, and these don't even have anything to do with the crusty old men being homophobic/transphobic. I am also mad about this, and I also complain about this fairly frequently.

I'm glad you asked because I understand that this stuff can be confusing. I think it's impossible to be any kind of religious queer person and not have a really complicated and deeply personal relationship with your religion.

I hope that answered your question, and I completely understand if this makes my blog feel like an unsafe space for you and you feel like you need to unfollow me. I do, however, tag every church related post I make, both with a religion cw and the tumblr mormon tag. Do what's best for you, and much love.

Also, unrelated, but I really appreciate all the posts you make and every time I see a little notification from you on one of my posts, it makes me so very happy.

[wavernot4love]

i do believe it is time for another vaguely infamous wavernot4love show recap ...... idkhow impending gloom rochester, 11.16.24 edition (tour spoilers after the break thingy)!!!! one of my favorite visitations i've ever experienced methinks ..... finally gettin the chance to ramble 2 dallon after years ...... and successfully getting rid of most of my bracelets ..... oh my!!!! oh boy, this one is going to be lengthy because SO MUCH fun stuff happened, man. right then (note that i went in mostly blind this time which was certainly An Experience):

also!!!! in general!!!! as i mentioned up there visitation was easily a top 3... top 2???? visitation i have ever experienced (i told dallon this exact thing.... more on that later).

i'd hoped she'd play hot to go 😍

(but unironically, transition back into visitation goes crazy) ((i feel like the absolute lack of any form of Cinematography whatsoever in this goes to show how i was feeling here)

let me tell you, the MOMENT the oh my lord lord lords started i just had this Feeling it was gonna be one of those visitations (i recall turning 2 my cousin and this sentiment being echoed). and that it was ,,,,, the ol Split sure did happen directly next to us so we got 2 chill there goin yeedy yeedy heedy heedy with dallon and his megaphone. i could recite the entire visitation yodel segment in my sleep methinks. very fun stuff. peep me lookin 4 videos from the other side of the split on instagram ,,, also gotta say dallon's "ladies, gentlemen, and everyone in between" will always make me giggle and kick my feet a bit (in a /j way). it's like the mormon tabernacle choir bit (which didn't happen this time, i honestly think this was the first non fest show i've seen where they didn't do a letter. not complaining as uhhh.... absence can in fact make the heart grow fonder n i know she'll be back someday)

is now the time to share that i only know the words to hot to go due to 1. this and 2. terrible influence toronto. the titronto singalong as i've seen it be called. i am about the same level of an up to date main pop girlie (gender neutral) as your grandpa. but i am glad 2 be adopted into the singalong by true main pop girlies (dan phil and dallon)

with that being said... SIXFT went too hard last night!!!! as always. but dallon's lil speech about us all focusing on the moment now because someday we'll all be six feet deep that went right into the tune..... oh yes what an intro.

i feel like earlier on, things REALLY started picking up/the crowd and everyone got into the swing of things with gloomtown brats. i always kinda take note of when everyone seems 2 loosen up near the beginning of a set and Yup . this one was it last night. blondie rapture-esque 80s rap bit you will always be so beloved. i remember when you were just a figment of dallon's imagination he talked about potentially wanting to do someday on twitter ,,,,

we finally got satanic panic oh yes. the minute dallon started talking about growing up in the 80s oh i knew where This was going. this is makin me wish i could post more than one video in here.

also speaking of, hearing kiss & tell live made me like her SO much more oh my. dallon crushes it in the chorus, something about it is very earwormy to me gotta say.

also..... ABSINTHE CAME BACK FROM THE GRAVE!!! mad iqs as well but i think absinthe had been... absent for longer. i will always think of the time i was goin nuts during her at this radio fest in 2019 and my phone sailed straight out of my pocket and across the crowd.

i fear i will Always enjoy dallon telling us under 25s to cover our ears and eyes for Adult Themes before what love. as someone who recalls when he did something of the sort for the debra cover circa 2019 i am glad i still fit into the age bracket 2 be patronized here.

opening band was gr8 as always, my favorite bit being the.... extended .... you may just like the.... segment. the parents, and especially boyfriends, sure did get shouted (called?) out. dallon (about said boyfriends getting dragged along): ....but you still gave us money! [crowd laughter] (back to singing) and that's what gives me.... a purpose ......

choke also hit extra last night. song goes HARD, i was desensitized for a while way back when it was constantly getting play on alt radio, but man, she is Not overrated,,,, appropriately rated, i think

no extra ending brobecks song but i am Not complaining. gr8 set, and hopefully someday bike ride will come back 2 me ......

also, i should mention that i Really enjoyed brasko's set. not inherently my kinda music per se, but the energy was off the charts. the dude had character, which i respected. get there early if you're going 2 any of these shows. also, opening band w/ alexsucks dude was sweet. the way i also have the "headlining band" segment memorized from the superet days ..... much like other Live Idkhow ™️ moments like the "i died in 1917" bit of visitation (which actually caught me off guard last night when it was changed to "i died in rochester new york" ...... damn poor visitation character. /hj) or the OH WHA OH OH OH in the second verse of clusterhug.

anyways, on to the post show Events .....

so long story short all the folks i knew @ the show wanted 2 leave (hence why i drove separate,, mwahaha), so the gang split up and i headed 2 the side of the building with the bus, where there were lots of people hanging around, and pretty much curled up borderline in the fetal position against the wall where i sat for a solid 45 minutes (it was cold and in the moment i did not quite have the energy 2 wander around starting conversations to trade etc)

due to said Cold, i pretty much set a time of 12:15 for when i'd leave if nothing had happened yet.... a couple times i contemplated going since i was straight up shivering but Something made me stay and man am i so glad i did!!!!

i remember watching that clock tick qusstioning how much longer i could go, and then right about 12:15 (maybe a minute or two after), a crew member came out and told us dallon was coming out to meet us, he was just on vocal rest but could sign/take pics etc!

so naturally wavernot4love was Back in business and i jumped 2 my feet and instantly was energized enough to chat some folks up and get rid of a good chunk of my bracelets (!)

sadly i somehow didn't think 2 bring a cd or anything so i had Nothing to get signed (oh my) but man, that didn't matter. i was just so stoked to finally meet dallon after years of going 2 shows/trying to!

anyways, homie came out and when he got to me he like. waved dbdbdh our whole "conversation" was quite funny considering the ways dallon improvised to get around not being able to talk.

i was basically like "hello! i know you can't talk so i am just.... gonna ramble 2 you for a minute!"

and that i sure did. essentially i went on a quick minuteish long recap of the Lore ,,,,

i remember i started by just saying how much the shows/music have meant to me over the years, and dallon did a thank you in sign language to me (like, the motion with your palm facing your chin that kinda looks like a backwardsish wave) which he did probably a dozen times later (it was really sweet honestly) and bringing up that this was my ninth time seeing them which made one of the ppl i was trading w exclaim like, "wow!" or something along those lines (hghfhfh i got vaguely embarrassed then, the way whenever i am meeting band folks i just completely go in our lil Bubble internally and forget other folks are. Right There), and dallon like. put his hand by his heart and then put his hand out like, wanting me to shake it and i think he seemed like he wanted me to introduce myself so i quickly said ya know that i am nat or natalie whatever you want 2 call me,,,, while we were shaking idk dawg it was goofy.

anyways, i babbled about how i'd been a fan of idkhow/the brobecks' music forever, and that i first saw them like, down the street basically at a venue called anthology on the waterparks tour way back and since had seen them all over rochester, syracuse, and buffalo, and how i was so glad they/he keeps coming back and how nice it's been to not have to travel outside of the area for any of my shows!!! i just went on about how much i love the shows and how much i especially loved visitation, and he kept doing the thank you thing (he did that about as much as i called him "dude," something i tend to do in Band Folk conversation when i'm meeting someone for the first time and am vaguely nervous (god it's like my literal embodiment of the "sorry i say shawty when i'm nervous" meme).

when he could tell my story was pretty much. you know. ending he made like. a lil camera taking a picture motion with his hands with like. a question mark in there somehow fbfbfh which was really convenient actually because i always feel awkward asking. anyways, i was like hell yeah let's go and then i did my goofy thing i always do for pictures where i remember i don't like how my glasses glare or whatever for pics so i panic and am like "actually wait!" while i randomly chuck them someplace out of the picture for the moment. i may have mildly scared dallon here i'll be honest. but also kinda amused him who knows, we all have our quirks

anyways, we took a few pics and i basically said great show man thanks and see you at the next show! and he i think waved or something along those lines and we went our separate ways!!

i did make a lil post right after this happened last night here but here's the pic again!!! hooray!!!!

i do think it is safe to say i finally broke the wavernot4love x water street music hall curse (the other three shows i'd been to there, not idkhow, were not really the greatest experiences). it is lookin good 4 the future!!!!

anyways, GREAT great show as always and man i'm so glad me and dallon could finally meet!!!!

[goodluckclove]

I really do fear Scott Skylark Kaufner becoming some sort of fushoji-bait, over sexualized caricature if Songbird Elegies gets popular, so I'm trying my best to do right by the aspec community by giving him certain, explicitly-canonical traits that'll keep 90% of the population from wanting him to be physically horny. So far I have:

- his usual attire is Boho, musical theater mormon girl

- he cannot write lyrics to save his life but he's pretty good at freestyle rapping

- he will eat garbage if it is offered to him by a friendly animal

- he is bad at sex and does not like to do it

More to come hopefully!

“he’s a mormon that can rap” - my mom about the guy from imagine dragons

[alumiiinium]

A long overdue introduction post,

Hi! I’m Alma (though I mostly go by Aluminium on the net). I’m a swede in my mid 10s and I’m really into musical theatre. My current fave shows are:

☆ Falsettos

☆ Hamilton

☆ The Book of Mormon

☆ RENT

I mostly post about musical theatre, but everyday-observations may pop up on my feed once in a while as well.

My biggest inspirations in life atm are the actors Jonathan Groff and Andrew Rannells. The two of them are literally the reason I fell in love with theatre and couldn’t be more grateful for their works. (Also they’re both so damn iconic idk what to do with myself???)

To me, gender is quite insignificant. I don’t label myself as anything (genderwise) and I don’t really care about what pronouns people use for me. (Though I’m not a fan of neopronouns on myself) I’m also a lesbian.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Other than musical theatre, I’m into writing and reading, I also watch a lot of movies and would happily discuss film in DMs!

Here comes a list of books, movies and music I really like (brace yourselves)

Books/ red, white and royal blue, boyfriend material, dead poets society, the heartstopper series, “skärblackatriologin” (swedish), the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, the picture of Dorian Gray, one last stop

Film (&tv)/ labyrinth, Maurice, another country, my policeman, the world to come, fanfic, jojo rabbit, Thelma and Louise, as you are, g - som I gemenskap (swedish), firebird, but I’m a cheerleader, lord of the rings, murder mystery, friends, game of thrones, white chicks, mean girls, den bästa sommaren (swedish), zoolander, grease, the sister act, stranger things, interstellar, clueless, young royals, brooklyn 99, se7en, heartstopper, freedom writers, alla vi barn i bullerbyn (swedish), madicken (swedish), titanic, Anne with an e, frozen, gravity falls, ducktales, rocketman, gummi bears, systrar 1968 (swedish), hotel portofino, joker

Music/ I listen to a LOT of music. I think I reached over 130 000 listened minutes in 2023. (An entire year is about 526 000 minutes in total). I listen to almost everything but gangster rap and hard electronic music and I’d say that my top genres are classic rock, alternative and a very niche kind of pop. David Bowie, Queen and Kent are my favourite bands.

I have severe PMDD (pre menstrual dysphoric disorder) and would happily answer questions about it since there isn’t much common knowledge surrounding PMDD today.

What more can I say? I’m switching schools to a theatre program this fall (2024) and uhh… live laugh Lin-Manuel that’s all bye xx

Boone - I have a working theory that Boone was originally pitched/written with him being a romance option for the Courier in mind back when New Vegas was still going to have those (like Cass) and you cannot prove otherwise to me. He's literally a romance novel character. I am in love with him and I always will be and I will fight you.

Joshua Graham - I'm an ex-mormon and I have religious trauma and I think he could fix me. That's it. That's the deal.

Vulpes - I have trauma and the kind of accepted canon in the Vulpes-fucker-fandom is that he's a little obsessive once he had eyes for the Courier. I know what I am. I know what I'm like. I know it's toxic but I want to be wanted and consumed. Hancock - He's the perfect man. He's chill, not judgy, has a good sense of humour, understands working through trauma and finding identity, is absolutely a leftist (the hot 'shoplifting is ok and encouraged actually' kind, not the 'slap a co-exist sticker on my car' type) and you know he's a munch. He feels safe. Bit still a little dangerous.

The Ghoul - Walton Goggins is hot and I like the idea of someone with 200+ years of experience just turning me the fuck out and not judging me when I have to do dodgy and questionable stuff to survive. Also, I have trauma.
