“I think we’re all off😁-Chase”

Omg Chase ofc I know you’re off 🤣

“I'm off until I get another job😂”

Chase and I are going to have a pool day at my dad’s and wanted to invite everyone if they’re free/want to hangout. It’s like 5 minutes from the Evans house so I’m sure we’ll end up at their house at some point too.

When don’t any of you kids end up at our house, be honest-Chris

Hello! Here's a fan of your reviews again (they are really great)

Would you mind giving your opinion on Nye, please? I def need your insight on it!

Hi, Anon!

Thank you for your trust, I'm feeling a responsibility on my shoulders now... I'll try to do my best to deserve it, since you appreciate them.

It's not easy for me to write a 'review' about Nye tbh, because there's a lot to unpack and I am terribly slow in finding the right words for this kind of posts (proof is I'm replying only now).

Anyway.

First, I must tell you that my impression may be influenced by the lack of experience and culture in theatre and plays in general. Nevertheless, I think I'm not wrong if I dare to say that "Nye" may be considered a masterpiece. For the theme, the meanings, the perfect execution of all the cast, the writing, the visual impact of the lighting designs, the choreography, the tricks and the original technical solutions with the props on the stage, as well as the rollercoaster of emotions during the entire show. It's all amazing, all perfectly synchronized like the gears of a clock, a real wonder for the view.

The storytelling is neat and well built, the direction is fluid, meaningful flashbacks of the past alternated with the present ones, touching moments balanced with songs and dances, lighter jokes and deep thoughts. There's rhythm, there's a bit of drama and a bit of musical, sadness and happiness, cruelty and compassion; there's speed of execution but also time to breath, to reflect, not a single wasted moment. A perfect team job, a well oiled machine that runs full power for about 2 hours 30.

The actors are really all exceptional, professional, tireless, talented and admirable in their roles. I loved the precision of every movement, the perfect timing of their steps, the expressions, the attention on every little gesture, the care for the detail.

A mention for the performances of some of the supporter actors, excellent, well trained and at their best, who know how to stay on a stage and fully entertain the audience.

Sharon Small (Jennie), with her grit, her grace, her versatility, her patience (when she stays still in the background for minutes, wow), is perfect in portraying this special modern woman: strong, intelligent, nonconformist, but also romantic and soft.

Roger Evans (Archie), Nye's best friend, eternally loyal and protective, sometimes even jealous of Jennie: always on point, a reliable presence in every scene.

Tony Jayawardena (Churchill), with his impressive figure, as Nye's opponent and his doctor, crafty but funny at the same time, and... a very flexible dancer.

And then, obviously, him.

Last but not least: Michael Sheen.

Monumental. Powerful, in his presence on the stage. Inspired, with his long speeches. Ecstatic, during his vivid crazy dreams. Mesmerising. A natural born orator in a play which is his perfect environment. A driving force. He's not just playing a character. He's living an ambition, a mission, that represents the core of all the values, the qualities, the feelings and the things he loves more and ​​in which he recognizes himself. He put his body and soul in this portrait, he cried and laughed, relentless, passionately, he bore the weight of an incredibly high emotional stress for months (all those rehearsals, every day, two times a day sometimes), showing an energy and an unimaginable stamina.

You can understand why he deeply felt this project: he fully believes in its message, and I sense there's also a lot of personal in it, emotions, situations that somehow belong to him. Nye, generous, crazy dreamers, fragile, stubborn, silly, irritating, strong, moving: he perfectly painted all these nuances, because they are also part of himself.

I could also add that some scenes reminded me others he already played in previous works (MoS, H.G. Wells, Dirty Filthy Love, The Passion), but maybe I'll keep these parallels for another post, since this is already too long. It's like there's almost a pattern in the choice of his characters, a little hint that he has a soft spot for some topics, definitely very important for him.

The same for other scenes that really impressed/touched me, but that would take too time to be discussed here.

It was an incredible show to put together, made with hard work, imagination, heart and dedication. To share a story and a message true for many people and different generations, in every eras. For those countries that have a NHS and for the ones that have not. To show how difficult but essential is to fight for the rights, against the social injustice but not only, to care about our families and the others. And affirming that making politics doesn't mean just balancing the books, but giving dignity to the people. This is how the politics becomes a real noble thing.

A huge effort, a great play, a deserved success. A necessary reminder.

(And now, after using too many adjectives, like Nye it's time to expand my vocabulary and find more synonyms.)

I finally went to an outpatient clinic this year. It helped me, even though the things I learned sometimes hurt.

Next year I will continue to pursue therapy and will do my best to appreciate the little things more (like seeing a robin on a walk)

That's wonderful news! I hope that you're able to do so!

Here is a photo of Bug with a feather on her head.

Play the game!

love the bachelorette idea — max and daniel both silently celebrating when the other gets a rose bc it means they can stay together on the show longer. Maybe as time goes on… they don’t even mention the dates. would love to hear your thoughts!

Oh god I have so many. Mainly right now it’s:

- max POV

- max participating in this show because of Jos still for some reason— maybe he’s got a career as a small time reality celebrity at this stage, or Jos has a startup he’s trying to promote and is using Max to do it

- Max is telling himself that he’s actually falling in love with Lauren, or whatever her name is, though

- while his clammy hand is resting a nervous distance away from hers on the white canvas cushion of the patio loveseat that they’re sitting on for their second or third one-on-one chat

- while he is also still thinking about how the guy from Australia, Daniel, had laughed at his joke during the mud wrestling challenge yesterday

- about something stupid Max does not even remember now

- but he remembers how Daniel had looked when he smiled at it

- and now he’s trying to refocus on Lauren’s face again

Shadow? Earth to Shadow! It’s too late. He’s too far gone. He’s got it bad

[Amy is thoroughly unable to contain her laughter or her joy.] Amy: You... probably need some space, don't you? [Shadow's brow furrows as they clasp her hands tighter. Amy shakes her head.] Amy:(๑´︶`๑) I know you, Shadow. You usually need someplace to be alone to think, and this... is a lot to think about. [She runs her fingers along the ridges of their knuckles. Shadow shivers.] Amy: I'll... still see you at the New Year's Eve party though, right? [There's a pause. Then, Shadow nods.] Amy:(๑❛ᴗ❛๑) Okay. [Another pause. With a sigh, Amy slowly pulls her hands out of Shadow's. They sit there, looking at one another for a moment. Then all at once, the reality of the situation seems to crash into Shadow. They begin to hyperventilate and are shaking so much they are practically vibrating.] Amy:(๑⁀ᗢ⁀๑) I was waiting for that! [She laughs, and in a brilliant flash, Shadow vanishes. Amy sighs as she flops down onto the couch and holds a pillow to her chest. She just lays there for a moment, and then, she buries her face in the pillow, kicking her feet gleefully as she screams.]

Would anyone like a New Years tarot spread pulled for them? Send me an ask and I'll post it!

You can send the request anonymously if you'd prefer too, I'm just trying to practice and learn the cards. This is the spread:

[joe-zone]

Happy 2024 (aka the year that Joey finally gets that first goal🤞😅)

[a-strange-inkling]

Because I know someone who this happened to- does Maggie and Charlie (I think that's the right Harrington boy) ever realize they were conceived in the same night? I imagine Robin being there and all "oh yeah it was at a NYE party and let me tell you" to their horror

Omg lol, yes Charlie and Maggie do find this out eventually and it’s hilarious! The conception twins of chaos! Robin would so tell them too when they’re older.

So, as I’m sure many have gathered, Old Haunts has a lot of my own childhood with my sister in the nineties weaved into it and this is actually based off of my own conception story lol I have a friend named Cody who is just three days older than me in September 😅

Our parents were all close friends and went to the same New Years Eve party where they all were drinking and having a good time and well… yeah we were conceived on the same night. His parents were leaving the hospital with Cody when my parents were rolling in to have me like that passing cars meme lol my mom told me the story and I was so mortified! Now it’s just funny 😆

But yes, based off a true story!

This year, I'm hoping to finish a Cam/Pal smutfic I started last year (anon so nobody can hold me accountable if I don't finish... again...) also find a relationship because being single suuuuuuuuuucks, but that's not in anyone's control, and the world doesn't owe me a partner

GOOD LUCK FINISHING UR FIC!! some fics take longer to cook and even if it doesn't pan out, it's still valuble practice, no writing is wasted!! <- says me who has "unfinished tlt fics" (that i always SWEAR im going to finish) from 2021...

also it is so fair to acknowledge that it's hard being single ❤️ the dating world is so rough. stay strong soldier!!! keep your head up!!

send me NYE asks!

Anon from yesterday, my blood work came back good. I was prescribed T! I'll be getting my first shot Monday! 🎉

My honest reaction to seeing that awesome news:

[boston-babies]

“Here are a few and I know Julie, Eve and Shelby have plenty more🤣-Dani”

I have so many but that would be too much to post them all. Here are some from the Barbie house + Dani carrying the most delicious cake pops and her being her best barbie self. 😊

The best birthday party ever with the most amazing friends!🩷🩷🩷-Dani

[kedreeva]

for the new year's game: a good thing that happened to me was that I was offered a really good job opportunity in another country, for a role tailor-made to my strengths and goals, and with a team of people I really like. and I'm proud that I decided to take that opportunity, although it meant moving to a country where I don't speak the language and have almost no support system, and though these last few months have been especially tough and it's been really difficult at times, I am getting through them as best as I can and am determined to overcome these challenges and build myself a good life here in this coming year.

You are doing AMAZING and I hope that 2024 rewards you for your efforts!
