Dick: *Looking out of the kitchen window* geez- what the hell?!

Dick: Jason, why is Y/N tied to a tree?!

Jason: I put them in time out.

Dick: Why?

Jason: Because, when we went to McDonald's earlier some kid threw his french fries on the floor and his dad told him if he did it again he was going to spank him...

Jason: Y/N threw their fries on the floor...

Dick: ...

Damian, walking into the kitchen: Why is Y/N tied to a tree?

Jason, and Dick: They're in time out.

Finally got a Venus's core doll! Got curious, and put her in Music Festival Venus's shirt, and aside from the arms being tight, it fits shockingly well.

maybe controversial take, but i like to think of erik being mostly a huge ladies’ man (look at all the bitches he gets canonically, he can’t NOT love the ladies) but charles is just...... this HUGE exception, lmfao. for a while he was totally oblivious to the fact that he was into charles like that but then one day it smacked him HARD across the face that their Very Special Friendship is actually romantic. he’s since embraced being a bisexual disaster but before charles he had no clue.

would be even funnier if erik and charles had already fooled around a couple times before erik actually realized he was attracted to him. who among us hasn’t fucked their completely platonic bro??

it cant be a controversial take if youre onto something my friend .....

Macbeth Q&A 18th Jan 2024 Part 1

Was lucky enough to get a ticket for the Member's Event at the Donmar Warehouse that took place on the 18th...with the price of the patronages I sure never thought I'd have gotten the chance, but luckily, they also let in some non-members 🥹❤️

The brilliant performance of Macbeth was followed by a very quick cleaning of the stage - thought for sure it would've taken them longer to remove the blood than like 5 minutes - followed by a lovely, little Q&A session.

The Q&A was led by Craig Gilbert (Literary manager) who talked to Annie Grace and Alasdair Macrae (Musicians and part of the acting ensemble) as well as Cush Jumbo and David Tennant.

Anyway, just gonna write down some of the stuff they talked about :) sorry if it's a bit messy! Might be spoilery if you haven't seen it yet but are going to!

To begin with Craig remarked that he didn't think he'd ever seen that many people staying behind for a Q&A before (While I was just wondering why some people even left!? Stressful!).

David introduced himself with "My real name is David "Thane of Paisely" Tennant - while Cush introduced herself with "I´m Cush Jumbo - there's only one of me".

First question was Craig asking them what it was that brought them to the Donmar to do Macbeth - to which David pretty much just replied that 1. It's the Donmar! 2. It's Macbeth! One of the greatest plays of all time in an amazingly intimate space - and that the theatre is famous for its quality of work. So he found it quite hard to think of a reason not to do it!

Cush said she'd worked there before and loves the theatre, how it's so intimate but also a great workspace. Followed by her saying she said yes because David asked her. She talked about how important it was for this play to do it together with the right actor playing opposite you.

David says Max Webster asked him about a year ago if he wanted to do the play - he gave him the dates - and since there weren't any obstacles in the way, David didn't have any excuse not to do it.

He then said that he had slightly avoided Macbeth - there sorta being the assumption that if you're Scottish and has done some Shakespeare plays before you have to do Macbeth. Which he joked was a bit odd since it's not like every Italian has to play Romeo. Then he mentioned that Macbeth is probably a bit more of a jock than he is - that it seemed more like a part for big, burly actors.

Max had laid out his initial ideas to David, a lot of which are in the final production, and David thought he seemed lovely, bright and clever and inventive plus it being the Donmar Warehouse! To which joked that he had last worked there 20 years ago - when he was 8 years old! "It's just one of those spaces" - friendly and epic at the same time where it's such a pleasure to be on the stage.

When Craig asked his next question concerning the sound of the play someone asked him to speak louder as she couldn't hear them - to which David joked that they've gotten so used to whispering. But also said sorry, and that they would!

Alasdair explained a bit about the process of the binaural sound - bit I find it a bit difficult to decipher it all correctly, sorry. He did say that a interesting part of it is that it allows them a controlled environment where they can put all the musicians (and even the bagpipes!) behind the soundproof box so "Poor David and Cush" doesn't have to shout over all the racket.

Craig asked David and Cush what their reaction was when they heard about the concept of the binaural soundscape - to which David replied that it didn't quite exist when they first came onboard - Cush joking they were tricked into it. Then she talked about her and David going on a workshop with Max to get a feeling of how it would all work - and get a sense of how it would sound to the audience, as this was one of the few times, they got to hear that side of it. Their experience of the play being completely different to the experience the audience has.

Cush said they can hear some of the sound - like she can hear some of the animal sounds and David can hear some of the stuff from the glass box - but most of their cues and information comes from timing with each other. She said they won't be able to ever hear what the audience hears - to which David joked "We're busy".

It felt like mixing medias - as it all went quite against their natural stagecraft instinct - but Cush found that in the long run it made things very interesting - like they don't have to worry about getting something whispered to each other - as the audience will hear it anyway.

David said the odd thing is that they don't really know what the experience truly is like. He mentioned that to the sides of the stage there's a speaker for them where they will get any cues that they need to hear. Like they can hear the witches - but they can't hear where they are "positioned" - so they have to learn how to place themselves to fit with what the audience hears. They don't hear everything, though. And the audio they hear is quite quiet, so it doesn't disturb what comes through the headphones.

He thinks it's been exciting - that it's a bit like a mix between film and theatre. It's happening live - but it's also like post-production is happening between them and the audience as it's going on. They just have to trust that the audience is hearing what they are supposed to for it all to make sense.

Cush said she thinks in 10 - 20 years, as these technologies has developed, doing theatre like this will feel a lot more normal - not that they will do it ALL the time, but that they will be doing it - whereas now it's still like an experiment. What Cush really like about the concept is that if was done in a much bigger theatre - then people in the cheapest seats would be able to have an experience much more similar to those in the most expensive seats - they'd be a lot more immersed into the action.

David then talks about how it feels extremely counterintuitive to not go on stage and speak loud enough that the people in the back row can also hear you. And usually, if they can't hear you, you aren't doing your job right! But then it felt very liberating. He loves it.

Cush then talked about how it felt odd waiting in the wings for a cue you can't hear - where you traditionally wait backstage and you can hear your cues, you can hear the rythm and know when it's your turn - so it was quite disconcerting to hear silence. So it's basically down to them now knowing the show and each other's timings - like if David is standing at a certain point, she knows how long she has before she needs to say/do something. So you have to watch each other more closely and really focus on what the others are doing.

David asked the musicians if they can hear everything inside the box, to which Annie replied that they get everything except some extra bits in the soundscape. But they can hear the actors on stage. Annie said it's actually a bit of a mystery to all of them what the audience actually experiences - how the big pictures actually look like - they just have to trust that it's there "Is it there?!".

Someone asked if they had had any adverse reactions from audiences to having to wear the headphones. Quite a bit of laughter all around :P then David said "There's the odd person" and something about if someone hadn't gotten the memo before turning up...but not sure how he ended the line. Then once again says that yes, there's the odd person who doesn't like it and that's fair enough.

The same audience member then said he could see the advantage of it in a big theatre where the distance is big, but not in a small place like the Donmar - to which David very quickly, rather passionately replied that it's not about projection, it's about being able to do things you wouldn't normally be able to do live - where they can speak so quietly that they can't even hear each other when standing next to each other. So even in such a small place, people wouldn't be able to hear that. It's about creating a different play - which isn't to everyone's taste and that's fair enough. But for a play that's been done a hundred and seven million times he thinks it's very valid to try and find a new way into the play - even if it's not for everyone.

it would be funny in a horrible, helpless way, if I've spent all month in a funk---trying various things to break out of it, or at least do something productive---when I just needed to go back to my parents' house for a second visit and insist I leave early, refusing to take no for an answer.

Is Caracalla a top or a bottom in your opinion? Asking for a friend

This is such a question I love it. I need it to be known I was walking home from the store and just... stuck my face to this ask for the whole of it. Your ask made me a traffic hazard.

Anyways,

instinctively, top, definitely. But it's a bit complicated because some of it is culturally tied - it'd take him a bit to figure out there's an alternative, first off. I mean be real nobody's going to be springing this on him in any consensual fashion. Nobody is his equal, suggesting he'd make a woman of himself for someone would easily land them a really dirty cackle and the cross under 7 minutes span. It's not an option, for him to consider or anybody under him to so much as suggest.

And I think even after it crosses his mind that... you know? What's actually stopping him? It's still a question of control. Calla is difficult when it comes to power, imho. Split between always being the follower and losing more and more ground where he'd even be capable of making his own choices to begin with, he often doesn't question when he's being led but he RESENTS where it puts him, and how it makes him feel. It can be Geta or it can be Macrinus but he's very used to having his power stripped from him and relying on the few people he views as capable and reliable. At the same time, while he craves that sense of safety and wants others to make his life simple and easy and safe at all times, he viscerally despises being reduced to a state of inferiority in comparison to anybody else. And it's clear that in matters of pleasure, he demands control and feels capable of wielding it unlike in so many other circumstances, and he craves that sense of power immensely. He can order slaves to die for his pleasure and he takes it as his god-given right to get off to this. Sex is much the same, he can command or pressure anybody into anything from his position of authority alone and easily guarantee that refusal to comply will end badly on the scale of you'll probably die painfully for it or your and your line's lives will at the very least be ruined forever. This is an area where he can have ultimate power over people and he'll take it without questioning it. The only thing we see pushing any breaks for him on this is Geta: he'll allow Geta to spare a gladiator on the arena, even when Caracalla's own vote disagrees (when wouldn't it???)

On the other hand. If he feels unthreathened, lazy, if he's so high he's already barely functional. Maybe he just doesn't care that much, as long as his needs get served by it, or if he's following a whim from curiosity. But I think I disagree with swathes of the fandom that he wouldn't feel shame - initially - for that submission. Again, this is a huge taboo, and he is already always struggling for control. He's never allowed it anywhere in his life. He knows on some level he's not even capable of having it, and isn't worth what he's already abusing to his heart's content. I think being anything but in control, even when it's on his own terms, will be a lot of pushing and then pulling back, purposefully going for an option and then getting incredibly frustrated and distressed when his own goddamn wishes are heeded. Because he might want the feeling of just being for once - having someone be more powerful than he is in a way that he still controls and can get out of, to be cared for, to be served and pampered and loved for all he's worth without having to decree every single part of the act. But fuck anybody who asserts control over him. I mean how the fuck dare they.

Would he like to be versatile? I'm sure, sometimes. And I think it's very clear that he's comfortable with doing just about anything that will get a rise out of other people, he loves being a scandal and having it be known that he doesn't give a fuck about anybody else. Does that mean he's not naturally assertive and enjoy his power and control immensely? Nooope. Even his displays of inappropriate, emasculating acts or behaviours or his dress and style are assertions of that authority - he does it because he wants to and he can and no one is going to be able to tell him no, no one can stop him, and that very much appeals to him all on its own. But ultimately he just needs that certainty so much, he's not any more free from needing to prove himself at all times in his life than Geta is. In some ways, where I could fully vision Geta craving for the chances to be taken out of that position - by his disability and illness, his diminutiveness and physical weakness and by the way he is perceived and how his own body is ripping his control away from him, Caracalla is the opposite. He doesn't innately crave a break from power, he craves for a moment he feels it is truly inherent to him.

In all, I think he'd be most likely to dip from his power trip under two conditions: either he feels exceedingly secure, or else so far gone he doesn't know how to take control in that situation anymore and wants to be safe and cared for more than anything else. He will not be wanting power or control in a spot where it demands anything unpleasant or difficult or dangerous of him whatsoever, and he'd likely be fine giving it up for a while if it's otherwise handed to him in excess.

Anywhere under other circumstances, he'll be gripping to a sense of power above any other things.

So, in conclusion, uh.

Tl;dr: definitely a top because he's a massively insecure and entitled mess of a divine thing - but make him cosy or make him desperate and he'll give it up eventually.
