I love Vic Michaelis you see them in group activities and they get all tiny and polite and pitching in jokes at just the right time that maybe not everyone in the room hears, just four degrees left from Scared Of Being Here With All These Cool People............ and then they start acting and the God Complex fully kicks in

🎄 “...from morning sun to til dine ~”

The Great Hall again, but this time rather than cleaning it Miciaah is decorating; seated atop a ladder she carefully hangs a garland of mistletoe, elder berries and holly of her own creation.

She imagines the walls here of those of her own castle and a smile comes to her face as she continues to sing the tune she's heard round the fire on each of her Ethereal Moons spent here.

“but seas between us broad have roared since — oh!”

There's someone below her. His thoughts are very loud, she muses without really dwelling on them; she supposes he might be worried, her position seeming precarious and all.

“You startled me,” she chides, fastening the last of the garland before slowly climbing down the ladder to meet him - ah yes, he is another noble from Adrestia and this shares her house. She members that at the very least.

“Hm… it's not good to play tricks this time of year,” she says, hand to her chin and the gold and winged ring there shines, “but I suppose it's part of the tradition here.” She says beaming up at the display of mistletoe.

“I am not one for handing out kisses to anyone but my betrothed so why not sing with me instead? I think that should be festive enough!”

the moon in one hand, the stars in another. Ferdinand believed the holidays were tantamount to bringing the very sky down, where they could hold it close to their chests. enchanted by every aspect of it, he reveled in the fresh piled snow, the sound of bells ever in the distance, and the songs! oh, the songs! if he was but a mouthpiece to a greater vision, he wouldn't mind… so long as he could live his life with songs perched on his lips for all his days. and with great luck, he would drift into the wings of another kindred soul, with a melody aged, wine-sweet.

Ferdinand found that her song clung to him, and with an urge untoward, he hummed along. that is, until he finally captured her in his vision and his heart hopped up two steps, anxious. she must have had nerves of steel, sitting atop a ladder like that, instead of the usual affair (two feet on a step, miss!)

she started, and he started with her, feeling his heart hop two more steps, unsure now if they were kindred or if she had the upper hand. how cunning!

"you startled me!" he responded, ears red. "no tricks, my lady," he interjected with a curt: "(I will hold your ladder steady!)" between breathes. "I had no intention of tomfoolery."

his fingers slipped tightly around the legs of the ladder, with his mind hyperfocused on getting her down safely. it was, however, with great relief that her teasing ended with the most delightful trade-off. "wonderful! I was getting nervous, there." to risk putting his foot in his mouth, he added: "I have no kisses to dispense! I am but one man, after all, and evidently not part of the same circle of tricksters as the rest. your betrothed shall be at peace."

"And~ ♫ ♪ ♪" as though on cue, Ferdinand took a step back.

his chest swelled with song, winding himself up with his arms parted and the familiar melody already cascading off his tongue.

"there's a hand my trusty friend!" an open palm for the young miss. "And give me a hand o' thine! ♫"

"And we'll take a right good-will draught ♪"

clasping her hand lightly, he raised their hands together with spirit enough to turn water into wine. "…for auld lang syne~ ♫ ♪ ♪"

You know a musical number is good when the choreo has a kickline in it

Theater is so fun in such an odd way

Like, imagine:

-You’re in a room full of people who are in various states of undress. Some are singing Showtunes half-heartedly, some a tripping while mumbling “who’s bra was that?”, someone is desperately pleasing for everyone to leave so they can use the one bathroom (but two sinks??) to poop while various people tease “go, poop girl!”, so far 6 people have complimented your behind and you don’t feel at all weird about it, and you keep joking with this one girl you hardly know that you should kiss right now actually

-The room over, the makeup room is a complete mess and strangely warmer than every other room? It smells like burnt hair but who’s? We dunno. To many people with too many hot tools. There’s more half-assed showtune singing but half the room is singing something completely different, some weirdly tall dude who would honestly trigger you fight or flight instincts if you didn’t know him is asking you to be in his tiktok and letting you know warm up is in 5 minutes (everyone is still late). You’ve just applied a bright red lipstick and kissed your friends neck to add to their costume (and you actively try very hard to not at all pay attention to the feeling stirred by that), and there’s another bra hanging on a coat rack next to a mirror with lights that make your face look like the moon

-No one knows what happens in the boy bathroom, but someone did take a poop! Somehow, it smells better than the girls room…

-There’s ketchup on the walls in the girls room…who was eating in there??? How did they not immediately spew withe lingering BO and Dollar store Perfume???

-Life is good

There's nothing quite like that feeling backstage before a performance when you're getting into makeup for your character, a middle-aged Italian exorcist, and you're drawing on chest hair and practicing your Batman voice and your friends are putting on lipstick and kissing your neck to leave behind notable kiss prints, and you scream across the room to your friend, "QUICK, PULL UP A PHOTO OF MARIO, I NEED STACHE INSPO" and you realize that this is the happiest you've been since that person you used to love went away and then you realize that the words 'stache inspo' just crossed your lips and now you have to gargle with bleach

Funny theater stories!! (Feel free to rb with your own!)

⁃ one time in middle school i was playing cinderella in cinderella which was my first lead so i was super psyched and before one of the shows i actually lost one of my shoes. it was hella scary at the time but looking back it was also hilariously accurate to my character. i found it before the show started btw ⁃ we used a real pineapple for a high school play once and it had to be thrown across the stage at one point and there was always pineapple juice all over the stage after every show so our director just kept buying more pineapples after every show and he bought too many so then he just had a random pineapple hoard at his house for a while ⁃ So for the school musical one year we combined with the middle school to do Music Man, and during the read-through the guy who was playing Harold Hill (🥛) accidentally missed a line & then said "OH SHIT" rlly loud and everyone just went 😨 ⁃ my theatre friends and i went to see one of the middle school shows and we went to a local gas station afterwards just to hang out (pathetic ik, our town has NOTHING to do 💀) and everyone got milkshakes and shit except for 🥛 who just got waffle flavored milk and beef jerky (yes that's where i got his emoji from) ⁃ one of my theatre friends hosted a watch party for some of us to come and see the movie version of our school musical and somehow while we were there we got really off topic and two of the guys ended up getting "married" (i was the flower boy) ⁃ during one rehearsal for a summer show, the school was being cleaned so a bunch of stuff was moved around and we were gonna go practice something in the band room but the piano just. wasn't there. and we could not find it anywhere. we lost. a whole ass. fucking. grand piano.

The only thing I remember from grade 8 was when my music teacher was showing us the “Daft punk” video from pentatonix and this happened.

TEACHER: “It’s really sad too, they are all gay.”

THEATRE KID: *stands up on chair*

A little tour of my studio...I like to hang posters and reviews of plays I have been in. These were some I did in the Twin Cities. Had a blast with all of them.
