List 5 topics you can talk on for an hour without preparing any material.

Tagged by @dreamtigress

Musical Theatre. You want history starring my boyfriend Inigo Jones and his designs for Masques? You want actors in the last 20 years who I think should kiss me on the mouth? (Raúl Esparza is first, I will fight all of you.) You wanna talk about my theory about how the OBCR of Rent changed the way cast recordings were engineered? You wanna hear about Sondheim and recitative? Wanna talk about shows I’ve seen in NY and elsewhere and why I think the staging for the 2005 revival of Sweeney Todd starring Michael Ceveris and Patti Lapone was some of the worst garbage I’ve ever seen outside of the opening and closing vignettes that framed it as Toby’s memory? Wanna talk about opera and minstrel shows and ballet and the American Musical? I got you.

Magical Realism. I have been thinking about Pedro Paramo again recently and how it changed the way I write and conceptualize stories, but also how Latin American literature in general is so underrated and I will gladly do a dissertation on memory and lost documents as a motif in Like Water for Chocolate and Chronicle of a Death Foretold as a metaphor for colonialism and erasure of culture.

Adult education and instructional design with an eye towards technology in training. This is my job, and if you want to know how I decide what ideas we pursue in terms of VR modules, I will gladly tell you.

Judaism, specifically the kind I grew up on (American, Conservative) and how it grants a unique worldview that you can understand perfectly by answering the question of “why are Aziraphale and Crowley the protagonists of Good Omens when they literally thwart God, which is not what a Christian Protagonist should ever ever do.”

Literature in general. My undergrad was in stage management and creative writing, and I will talk your fucking ear off about any number of niche topics like “what is that painting in the inn in Moly Dick about and is she really offering them cod or clam chowder as a joke about their genitals” or “Telemachus Sneezed: a line that haunts me” or “Why Jane Eyre is a realistic woman and Daisy Miller is an ideal woman” or my niche theory “Hamlet and MacBeth are a duology about how neither a warrior nor a poet can handle cosmic horror.”

This was much harder than I thought it would be. Most of my long discussions with Nat tend to be improv runs on things like what the birds are putting in Pip Weekly, the fictional newsletter the cardinals in our neighborhood are writing, and “nonsense” didn’t seem like a good faith answer.

Tagging anyone who wants to play.

ust released yesterday and already a review!

From Kat Henry Doran:

"Once again author Toni V. Sweeney treats her legion of fans with characteristic wry humor, snappy dialogue and impeccable research into the era—from clothing styles to social mores to medical care. This is a brilliant kick-off for The McCoys and what looks to be a pip of a family saga. Very well done!

On a scale of 1-5, Love Means No Regrets deserves a 7."

Camilo Carlos Castillo Madrigal -- Prom 2024 "Gothic Romance"

Aesthetic Inspiration: The Devil & Ben Camden Sweeney Todd swing your razor wide, Sweeney / hold it to the skies / freely flows the blood of those who moralize

Pip and Camilo have a Narrative to their look, they are telling a Story. Camilo, of course, as the victim to Pip's Sweeney Todd. But like very vibes based. Also, this outfit was made with the help of Mirabel <3 after he got it from From Farm to Table.

Date: Pip Seville ( @exsqueak-me )

Enchanted Element: None, but it is a slay. (Literal.)

Hi Pip, I love seeing you talk about theater. Can you tell us about some of the roles you’ve played? 😌😙

i love talking about theatre, bad news for everyone!!! i actually haven't performed in public for - oof - six years? since i had my nervous breakdown and dropped out of uni. i miss performing a lot!!! it's bizarre to think i used to plan to do it as a career (and honestly i still have Moments where i'm like 'i could do it. i could do this'. but . . . yeah, it's hard on my ole' noggin fgbkjngfjkn)

the first musical i ever did was sweeney todd and i played mrs lovett! sondheim means a lot to me. this role is very much uhh. throwing oneself in at the deep end. sondheim music is not easy fgbnkjgfkjn

i've also played audrey in little shop of horrors, ursula in the little mermaid, vi in footloose and alice in the addams family musical! that last one was one of my dream roles (carolee carmello is one of my favourite performers of all time, and partly responsible for me getting into musical theatre. she was in the original cast of lestat the musical, the show that made me realise musical theatre was the thing i wanted to do with my life) and the last time i was on stage, actually! i love alice <3. not sure if 'yellow' would have become such a big part of my personality and aesthetic if not for her! my casting type is very much 'sad housewife/mother who becomes gradually more and more unhinged throughout the show'.

my voice has changed and developed a lot since then!! there are still some roles i would love to play. maybe one day!

[plegdoctor]

wait a minute i need to know, 14 and blackcherry for where every wish comes true (for the headcanon asks) because i NEED to know about that

SHDVSJDHS HELP okay I’m acc so excited to get into this

Romance headcanon: Cherry honestly never payed much attention to getting in a relationship because she decided that there wasn’t anyone in their tiny town that would fit with her. The first day of the UK2 maths class (yes they’re all in there together), she sat next to Ellie at the back, as per the seating plan and saw that there was a “Joe” put next to Pip. Joe rocks up 15 minutes late, apologising and explaining that he got lost because he’s new. But she has little to no experience with crushes let alone relationship, so after the fifth lesson of “Do you think Joe likes Sweeney Todd? It would be weird if I asked him that, wouldn’t it? No, I don’t like him, don’t be ridiculous. Hey, what’s the answer for 16?” Ellie decided to take on the role of coach and help Cherry come to the realisation that she does like Joe and he’ll her to ask him out. Turns out he does like Sweeney Todd (they watch it together on their first date. In the next maths lesson Ellie gets a note from Cherry containing only a drawn winky face)

{ SYDNEY SWEENEY . CIS FEMALE . 23 . SHE/HER } did you see that { MACKENZIE LOCKLEAR } just pulled up in hidden hills with { ANY MALE FC } sitting next to them in the passengers seat - isn’t that cute ! you know, for a { ACTRESS/VOICE ACTRESS }, i’ve heard they’re really { CAREFREE }, but that they make up for it by being so { FAITHFUL }. i see them all the time on snapchat && yesterday in US WEEKLY i read that they { ARE HAVING } a baby - can you believe that ?!

B A S I C S.

Full Name: Mackenzie Piper Locklear Nickname(s): Kenzie, Mack, Pips. Age: Twenty-Three. Date of Birth: Sept 12nd. Hometown: Spokane, Washington Current Location: Hidden Hills, CA. Gender: Cisfemale. Pronouns: She/Her Orientation: Bisexual. Occupation: Actress/Voice Actress.

born on september 12nd to a single mom, mackenzie’s life was filled with nothing but hardship and love. when her mom was working, she was with her grandmother. she never once met her father as he didn’t believe that she was his child in the slightest.

as a child; mackenzie wasn’t shy in the slightest, she was loud and wild. she didn’t have a care in the world and she always had her grandma to back her up in her carefree days. her grandmother encouraged her antics as mack used to put on shows and dance for her. her grandmother loved to see her granddaughter having the time of her life.

as she kept growing, her mother and grandmother encouraged her new love for performing arts. therefore she was involved in a lot of local plays.

her mother ended up finding love in all the wrong places, she married twice and had two more children ( possible wc? ) but her stepfathers were complete assholes towards mackenzie as she was not their blood. 

mack ended up moving in with her grandmother as a result and put a strain on her relationship with her mother. since she never stuck up for mackenzie and just went along with what her husbands/boyfriends would have to say about it

during her senior year of high school, she was sought out by a talent agent who promised to make her a star and she signed right away with him but she had him promise that she had to graduate high school first and he agreed. 

he started to book her for small voice roles on video games, kid shows, and even in commercials then when people started to see mackenzie’s voice, they knew she was destined for bigger things.

mackenzie booked her first television role on grey's anatomy and soon more roles were just falling onto her lap. she had a face that everyone wanted to see. 

the teen booked a show on netflix called everything sucks! soon followed as the handmaid's tale but her breakout show came out last year called  euphoria where she plays cassie howard.

mackenzie is enjoying her time as an actress and voice actress, she loved creating and having fun with her co-workers.

about her pregnancy; kenzie is about 5 months pregnant, she is expecting a baby boy with any male fc.

His Girl Friday (1940)

Fun Fact: It is estimated that the normal rate of verbal dialogue in most films is around 90 words a minute. In His Girl Friday (1940), the delivery has been clocked at 240 words a minute.

Walter Burns: You've got an old fashioned idea divorce is something that lasts forever, 'til death do us part.' Why divorce doesn't mean anything nowadays, Hildy, just a few words mumbled over you by a judge.

Hildy Johnson: A big fat lummox like you hiring an airplane to write: "Hildy, don't be hasty. Remember my dimple. Walter." Delayed our divorce 20 minutes while the judge went out to watch it.

Hildy: What are you playing - osteopath?

Walter Burns: Traitor! Hildy Johnson: A traitor? A traitor to what? Walter Burns: A traitor to journalism! You're a journalist, Hildy! Hildy Johnson: A journalist? Now, what does that mean? Peeking through keyholes, chasing after fire engines, waking people up in the middle of the night and ask them if Hitler's gonna start another war, stealing pictures off old ladies? I know all about reporters, Walter. A lot of daffy butt-in-skies runnin' around without a nickel in their pocket, and for what? So a million hired girls and motorman's wives will know what's going on?

Hildy: He treats me like a woman. Walter: Oh he does, does he? Mm-hmm... how did I treat you? Like a water buffalo?

Hildy Johnson: If you want to save Earl William’s life, you write the interview yourself. You're still a good reporter. Walter Burns: Oh, Hildy, you know I can't write that kind of thing. It takes a woman's touch. It needs that heart, that... Hildy Johnson: Now, don't get poetic, Walter. Get Sweeney. He's the best man you've got on the paper for that sob-sister stuff. Walter Burns: Poor Sweeney. Duffy just told me his wife finally had twins. Isn't that terrible? Well, Sweeney went out to celebrate and now we can't find him any more. So, Sweeney has twins and Earl Williams gets hanged tomorrow.

Hildy Johnson: What an act! I just remembered. Sweeney was only married four months ago. Walter Burns: All right, Hildy, you win. I'm licked. Bruce Baldwin: Then, Mr. Sweeney didn't have twins? Hildy Johnson: No, indeed. The twins were Walter's. All his. Walter Burns: Oh, it was nothing.

Molly Malloy: If you was worth breaking my nails on I'd tear your face wide open.

Molly Malloy: [to the male reporters in the prison's press room] You crumbs have been making a fool out of me long enough. I never said I loved Earl Williams and was willing to marry him on the gallows. You made that up! And about my being his soulmate and having a love nest with him!

Hildy Johnson: [speaking to Walter on the phone] Now, get this, you double-crossing chimpanzee: There ain't going to be any interview and there ain't going to be any story. And that certified check of yours is leaving with me in twenty minutes. I wouldn't cover the burning of Rome for you if they were just lighting it up.

Hildy Johnson: The next time you see me, I shall be riding in a Rolls Royce giving interviews on success. Murphy, McCue, reporter, Wilson, reporter, Bensinger, Endicott: Goodbye. Hildy Johnson: So long, you wage slaves. Murphy, McCue, reporter, Wilson, reporter, Bensinger, Endicott: Bye. Hildy Johnson: Or when you're climbing up fire escapes and getting kicked out of front doors and eating Christmas dinners at one-arm joints - don't forget your pal, Hildy Johnson. Murphy, McCue, reporter, Wilson, reporter, Bensinger, Endicott: We won’t, dear. Hildy Johnson: And when the road beyond unfolds and the -- [Heavy gunfire]

This woman is in heels... she is BOLTING after this dude... and she tackles him to the ground for a story. THAT is a journalist.

Hildy Johnson: [on the phone]  Walter, listen, I got a whole story on how Williams got that gun and escaped and I've got it exclusive. Yeah. Yeah, that's right and it's a pip!

[describing Bruce, who is played by Ralph Bellamy] Walter Burns: He looks like that fellow in the movies - Ralph Bellamy.

Another Bit of Trivia: The famous in-joke about Ralph Bellamy's character ("There's a guy in a taxi down at the court building looks just like that movie star, what's his name? Ralph Bellamy!") was almost left on the cutting room floor: Harry Cohn, the studio head, saw the dailies and responded in fury at the impertinence, but he let Howard Hawks leave it in, and it has always been one of the biggest laughs in the film.

Pettibone, oh my god. This movie is so hysterical. Genius.

Walter Burns: Diabetes! I ought to know better than to hire anybody with a disease.

Sheriff Hartwell: Johnson, you're under arrest. Hildy Johnson: Why? Sheriff Hartwell: And you too, Burns! Walter Burns: Who's under arrest? Listen you insignificant, square-toed, pimple-headed spy! You realize what you're doing? Sheriff Hartwell: I'll show you what I'm doing. Burns you're obstructing justice and so is The Morning Post and I'm going to see that you're fined $10,000!

ESE: 94/100

50 +5 for Rosalind Russell +10 for the first exchange between Walter and Hildy +7 for Pete Davis +5 for Bruce being cool about Hildy’s ex-husband -5 for trying to deceive Bruce and Hildy +7 for Hildy’s brilliance in seeing through it -5 for Walter setting up Bruce +10 for Hildy ripping him a new one +5 for tackling a man after chasing him in heels +5 for picking Bruce’s mother up and removing her -10 for making work more important than your relationship +10 for Joe Pettibone +5 for goodbye kisses -5 for manipulative nonsense

Liza: all of them. 

Talia: Hamilton. I do have a tendency to write like I’m running out of time.
