if I said eisa davis' influence in making lmm actually write something rather radically progressive has subsequently inspired me to return to my roots of actually fucking thinking of making radically progressive musicals after a 3-year long hiatus in doing so, then what-

#thdjdjd i dunno like gjdjd #look warriors did something fucking weird to my brain #it brought me back to when i first was obsessed with WATT when i was 16 #and hamilton when i was 13 #like it makes me wanna write again #and now with eisa davis proving that Radically Progressive Ideas In Art Can Fucking Work If You Have The Balls #im um #really thinking about going back WHAHAHA #might rework Patron the musical into a concept album idea of sorts #side a being life as a filipino student who learns the ins and outs of activism and ndmos here #side b being their counterpart who is a writer that struggles against being indocrinated by um neo-colonialist capitalist beliefs #all that comes with prolonged exposure to the bubble of privilege in the phililpines #(especially the role that the US capitalism plays in it hahahahaha we haven't forgotten about that)#basically not exactly a princess and the pauper situation but um just two people on different sides of the same coin #and its meant to be an exploration of my experiences in college #both in terms of my activism #and me being made to mind the line at times as a communication student and a writer #its like splitting myself into two and making them butt heads PFFT but yea #and I call it Patron because Side A (Filipino) is inspired from the concept of patron saints ('who dies for us? who do we die for?')#(pronounce side A as PAH-tron with a roll to that R)#and Side B is um what are the privileges and pitfalls of foreign patronage?#(yes this is inspired by um some filipinos being so enamored by socio-economic privilege upon stepping foot in amerca that they forget-#where they came from)#anyways thats ny tiny ramble for today im gonna get back to wofk #personal shit #voila the return of the izzy idea rambles
