#sdfghj i got a bit carried away thinking about this lmao

[exocean]

heyy mo!! i have a question for you! in the home choreo, do you think the three spins they do would be too fast/close together for a skating routine? i picture it everytime i watch it but idk if it's feasible? i've been wanting to ask you since the mv dropped but kept forgetting to lol (hope you're having a great day!! 💖💕💗)

Helloo~!!!! Okay so first of all this the best question!! i love over analysing things!! I do have to say that i personally only do speed skating and shorttrack instead of figure but i love watching it! So im not entire sure if what im saying either makes sense or if technically possible but yeah. Also! perhaps @wonuasmr could give their thoughts on this too since they watch it too and i think even did it? (correct me if im wrong jaci lol) so yeah! 

on to the moves lol! im my opinion what makes the spins so difficult in the timing, they are for dancing pretty fast but for on skates too slow? or at least too slow to do turns or jumps on. like you could do a single flip matching with the timing of the first spin but you would be able to do it again due to speed, and because your landing time on skates is much longer. So i would think i’d be more likely to do it as part of a step sequence or as an entrance to a spin. this is because you then have more controle over the timing. a spin itself has to be much faster than the timing they have in the choreo. 

anyways i tried to find an entrance or sequence that somewhat matched the choreo so this is what i found. 

this was yuzuru’s entrance to (i think its called a layover?) his spin. timing wise and the (not very but still a bit of) similarity in movement made this the most likely in my opinion. to be honest i would try it out in real life if i had the proper skates for it, but on my you can’t really do any spins hahaha i really hope this made sense!! I at least love the idea of skating to their music it would be so dope to watch i think!!!

🧩

🧩 pick one personality trait from each member   

chan - his selflessness. that he’s always there. for his members, for stays. and even though he might be struggling too he’s still there for you, offers you a shoulder to cry on and does his best to try and help you. the way he’s not trying to outshine anyone but instead gives the spotlight to those around him. i have so much admiration and respect for this man :’)

minho - the way he shows his love. i know it’s not easy to show your emotions through words or physical affection so instead he does these small actions where he shows his love. like buys you food or helps you study. i don’t know i find it more meaningful? like he actually shows he cares even if he does that in a subtle way :’)

changbin - his maturity? okay well i know that most of the time we see the goofy, clingy, adorably annoying changbin but idk i feel like there’s this serious side to him. the way he talks sometimes? for example in two kids rooms or one kid’s room. i know all of them have a serious side but for changbin i feel like he’d be the type to have late night conversations about deep stuff. but if we’re going for more visible traits i’d say i like his affectionate side. even if the others pretend they don’t like it he still continues to show his love :3

jisung - his bravery (i’m not even sure if i’m picking personality traits anymore sdfgh). him being an introvert and struggling with anxiety yet still being out there and doing his very best and even brightening up the mood or the other members. that must be incredibly hard and i respect him for that. i truly look up to him and hope to find my own bravery one day. i also hope he still doesn’t forget to take care of himself as well :’)

hyunjin - he’s a good listener. the members also said this multiple times that they go to hyunjin with their struggles because he listens to them and hears them out. and i think it’s very important! not everyone can give good advice or they might be in a place where they don’t know much about something or feel like it’s not their place to give advice but they’re still there to hear you out! and that actually means so much! a person doesn’t always need advice. sometimes it just feels good to let everything out and having a person who will listen to you :’) so yeah you go hyunjin! :3

felix - his fondness of the other members. he’s truly a sweetheart. when the others are bickering or picking at him he’s just there with that huge smile on his face. like you can see it in his eyes how much adoration he has for stray kids. i feel like his little heart is just overflowing with love :’) like for example when minho texted him in a cute way he sent hearts while the others didn’t read his message or asked him what he wants sdfghjk felix is pure joy and sunshine and i hope he stays his warm self forever :’)

seungmin - his honesty! for me honesty is incredibly important. and i always try to be 100% honest. my friends know that even if something i say comes out a bit harsh i still mean well and i’m not trying to hurt them. i think in the end it will hurt more if you’re not being honest. with others or yourself. and seungmin doesn’t hold back. he just says whatever is on his mind. for me that doesn’t ever come off as mean or rude. like yeah there’s a big difference between being honest and mean and you should not justify your rudeness for being honest. but seungmin is just seungmin. honest and we love that for him :3

jeongin - the way he’s trying to open up more to those around him. he mentioned before that he has a hard time showing his emotions and it’s really nice that he’s trying to change that. because putting up a smile even if you don’t feel like and bottling up your emotions can be exhausting. but it takes a lot of work to let down your guard and let others in. so the fact that he’s trying is very inspiring :3

oof omg did this become a personal rant sdfghj i’m sorry it got emotional i got carried away lmao i’m not even sure if i talked about personality traits i just said what i relate to and what i find admirable and inspiring in every member i’m sorry :’D and thank you so much for asking!!!

- L o r d

- Okay so Tom has finally quit, we’re proud of him. But now there’s two other guys working the sound right- This guy Chris who I vaguely recognize did the shows when I was in them but never spoke to, and this kid Ian who has a streak of grey hair that I was unable to discern if it was done intentionally or if he’s just That Stressed

- So it was hectic with that because they like....lowkey couldn’t figure out what they wanted me to do lmao like I was working and stuff but I think currently their only plan is to have me run the sound effects during the show and there’s like...only five of them lmao. They’re trying to figure out a better plan

- When I came in the Lion King soundtrack was playing over the speaker but then it snagged and just started going ‘hehehehehehehehehe’ the kids were Shaken

- So I personally hate the Lion King and these two guys have never seen it so I actually had to sit there and explain everything that was happening and give character names and they just. Were not absorbing the information omfg

- The costumes......................................................

-The costumes

- Listen

- The Grown Lions(tm) have those cool head pieces that look like African Masks but they wear as hats, those are good. The baby lions look a little ridiculous but they’re cute as hell so no one cares. Zazu’s costume doesn’t really inspire ‘bird’ but it’s cute. They all like....fit the usual color scheme of the show, you know?

- But then we got these Giraffes....oh my God. Like, they’re ADORABLE- the girls are in yellow leotards and they have long giraffe necks+smiling heads strapped on their back and they carry the legs. It’s super cute but like....they’re BRIGHT yellow. Like, cartoonishly yellow. And it just super clashes with all the other costumes????

- And then the other animals are pretty much just in tights and brown or grey shirts. THE FUCKING ELEPHANTS THO. They have these poor girls in plain grey sweats, right, but then they gave them these fucking.....bright pink sparkly hats with the ears and the trunks on them?? And the trunks are like, above their foreheads, like they don’t cover their face, so when they stand profile on the stage they jus tloook like a bunch of flamingos flying away asdfghjk. AND THEN. They came onstage for Circle of Life....waving their arms.....as if they were their trunks??????? The trunk is already on the costume????? What happened to these elephants lord

- The kid playing Scar....listen. He’s having fun. That’s clear. That’s great! Does he have to scream every line at the top of his lungs????

- The script: SCAR(whispers)- Long Live The King

This kid: “LOOOOOOONNNNNGGGG LIVE THE KIIIIIIIIN NGGGGG MWUHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” 

-like please calm down a bit asdfghj

- Wait back to those fucking giraffes for a hot sec. There were like....two different music numbers where they just came out without the heads or legs??? Just some girls in some bright yellow dresses???? What in the world????

- They actually made it to act two? Literally everyone was shocked

- Like they got thru act one and the director was like ‘what time is- oh? We still have an hour and a half? Uhhhh okay?????’ like there were audible gasps throughout the theater lmao

- Did not finish act two tho omfg they got to the scene where Nala finds Simba, Timon and Pumbaa and after a couple takes the director literally just Quit lmao she was like ‘we’re just gonna call it here since apparently no one knows their lines you can all go home’ sdfghj

- I told the man that I had worked on the soundboard before but his was Slightly More Complicated so he thought I couldn’t handle it and he tried to go through and explain how everything worked to me and I got so lost I was literally like Sir Listen The Spirit Just Inhabits My Body And Presses Buttons When Shit Goes Down. We needn’t add science or reason to that 

- Lmao but I was in fact able to run it fine when he ducked out for a bit

- THERE IS NO SET

- N O S E T

- They have??? I guess???? It’s supposed to be Pride Rock???? Sure. And then it turns around and theres a little nook in it so it’s the Hyena’s lair or whatever the hell.

- Nothing else?????????? There’s a giant screen in the back and I was like “Oh, okay, they’re just gonna use projections for setting like we did with Hair. Fine, cheap, not a big deal” BUT THERE’S NO PROJECTIONS??????

- They’re just using it to bounce light off please kill me....like the director was all ‘light is a very important part of lion king’ and it is!!! But like it went from a red-orange backdrop for the dessert and then Simba goes to the jungle right and like....you’d think maybe just. Project a pic of some jungle trees??? Nope!!!! Just green lights!!! There’s a scene where they’re talking about the stars and there just. Aren’t even any stars projected on this thing just...blue purple lights alright fuck me I guess

- I was cackling during circle of life bc for the part where Raffiki is presenting baby Simba they deadass have like the stuffed Simba toy you’d get at the Disney store asdfgh but I lost it because instead of like, reverently picking up the kid and slowly holding him high over the crowd the girl just. Roughly grabbed it in one hand and held it out at arms length asdfgh it was so funny okay

- For a solid 40 minutes the two guys I was with were trying to discreetly figure out how old I am like at first they were like ‘do you.......Know this cast?’ and I was like ‘uhhh I recognize the one kid from batb and Pippin but they’re all really young you know’ and they were like ‘hmm’ and then the director mentioned I used to be in shows and they were like ‘so did you just stop or did you........age out?’ and I was like ‘yeah pretty much. My last show was West Side Story’ and this man’s jaw DROPPED he was like ‘that was......like four years ago!’ and I was like yeah it was!!! and then finally after a while of this the other guy just flat out asked ‘so are you a high schooler or like a college student’ please kill me I am 22 years old asdsdfgh

- They went to some different company for all the equipment and they were so proud because ‘wow the mics sound really better :) We won’t have any problems with this show :)‘ and I was like uh dudes something always goes wrong with the mics and they wouldn’t listen

- mic one started acting up

- they were so shocked lmao

- And tbh still not sure what they issue was???? At first I thought it was just young Simba’s costume bc with the other two shows I've worked with that kid on, his costumes ALWAYS refuse to cooperate with the mics, it’s his brand at this point lol

- But then it was crackling and getting feedback when he wasn’t even moving and THEN when we switched it to Grown Nala it got even worse lmao. They tried changing the station, the batteries, the back, and the wire like dear God

- When I was collecting mics at the end of rehearsal Timon handed me hers and it was just....fucking shredded what did this girl do!!! 

- We couldn’t find the girl to give mic six to so I asked the director and she’s like ‘she’s absent today...........she’s barely been to any of the rehearsals’ JUDI. JUDI JUST RECAST HER JFC YOU’VE HAD WEEKS!!!!

- Oh and mic seven broke before we could even get it on a kid so uh yeah....normal enough I guess

- like inherently I know there’s gotta be some 12/13 year olds in the cast but we are all terrified to trust the kids to do mic switches themselves backstage lmao like please no. Not for the Infants!!! so tomorrow I might just camp out back there to make sure nothing gets broken again lmao

- young simba mic switches with grown nala and the dude on soundboard was so....weird about it like apparently it messed up a frequency or something??? I couldn’t really follow but apparently it was an Issue that nala’s voice was deeper than simba’s like he kept going on about it and I'm like ‘one of them....is a four foot tall boy who hasn’t hit puberty and the other....is a teenage alto’ but this just did not Connect for him that it made sense that girl had the deeper voice help me

- Also I'm not....much of a conversationalist around strangers, and I've got a nervous giggle, and he was so lowkey offended by it like he assumed I just didn’t give a shit about anything he was saying bc I just kept saying ‘yeah yeah’ with a giggle like sir!!!! it’s my default setting!!!! I just already know what you’re talking about what am I supposed to do!!!!!!

- like just the fact that he felt the need to Call It Out like please dude I'm just hear trying to help like??? I literally don’t have to be there why would he assume I didn’t care????? 

- we somehow started talking about Les Mis 2014 for some reason and he was trying to tell me how stressful it was with the band and all the solos and stuff and I was like.....sir yeah I was a soloist in that show I Know lmao. I remember the band. No One was calm during those rehearsals lmao

- We were apparently told that this would be a Keyboard Only production but then like....other people with other instruments....just kinda.....showed up lol

- I'm missing stuff but I only slept for like an hour and a half last night so....I'm dead. anyway I currently have zero predictions for how this show is gonna turn out???? send prayers
