Should we talk about the Scottish Play? Yours truly has been privileged enough to see both runs of the DT/CJ led production. And I wish I were able to explain how it affected me. I’ve seen lots of Shakespeare. I’ve seen David Tennant do lots of Shakespeare. But in a way that sounds like I’m exaggerating but I’m totally not? This one changed my life. It’s complicated, it’s deeply personal. It’s hard to put into words. But what a perfect, beautiful, intensely moving piece of theatre (1000% totally worth flying across the world for twice). I don’t think I CAN put it into words that would do it justice. So have pictures.

Last year the theatre was much more strict about photography during curtain call. I guiltily dared once and I have one almost usable picture that proves I was there. And okay a really crap one but I love the blurry smile and the stark blood on the stage (the Pinter run didn't have blood at the end, i missed it).

Turns out, my pictures this year aren’t much better. Even with a house and production that was totally cool with photos and videos during curtain call. But I tried. The last time I saw it (13 Dec), you can just see the bandage on DT’s wrist from his new tattoo. My favorite thing is how relieved both he and Cush look after they’re done performing. I think even these kind of not great pictures capture that.

Just... look at them.

Bonus. A wee video from the penultimate night of the run. Cheering for wee middle child for his last performance. Bless him.

I guess I’ll do a separate post of stage door photos? I have... a few. They're a little clearer than these without stage fog and Birnam Wood lighting. And long post is long.

ok now that ive actually finished veilguard

i rly did love it!! and also hate parts of it unfortunately :/

the environments are gorgeous, they did an excellent job balancing story and exploration. the gameplay is so fun, i was worried about the combat changes but its great! (i still wish the player character had access to more abilities at once but w/e), the music was great

the downside comes from the writing. it just feels so... shallow? there's so much material in the areas and topics of the game, but they didnt engage with that, and it makes the world feel watered down, or glossed over. its like the game is avoiding dealing with any subject thats too complicated or messy.

it makes me feel like none of what we saw was fully covered! what do you mean the game is over, we havent really dug into this! which sucks bc i doubt they'll be retreading any of this territory in future games :c

the antagonists, aside from solas, were also by and large, really flat. again this feels like its another symptom of not really engaging with the material in a meaningful way

but actually what really gets me is ending that post credits stinger (which... no comment.) with "the veilguard remains vigilant" as IF we're gonna see these character in a major part again!! dragon age doesnt do returning protagonists even when it might actually make more narrative sense

hhhhhh I need to properly reread Percy jackson again. This post brought to you by the fact I was about to make a post about a scene I very vividly remember of Will Solace trying to convince Pollux not to keep fighting with his good arm broken before Percy manages to convince him not to bc he promised Dionysus, then thought to myself "huh maybe I should fact check that- I mean I did also convince myself that Travis stoll died in this battle when he actually just went to college." And guess what? That scene ✨️didn't happen.✨️ Pollux was trying to convince Percy to let him rejoin the fight very half heartedly, while propped against a tree, and Percy was just like "hmmmm... no"

I'm following a poll tournament where the theme is we vote on ships only based on their colors (think red/blue vs red/green ships or black/white vs pink/green, etc.). We only find out who the ships are once they're eliminated.

Bumbleby just got eliminated from the tournament, and they weren't even submitted for the color pallet they supposedly represent. They're meant to be black/yellow (hence the name).

THEY WERE SUBMITTED AS PURPLE/YELLOW.

We need a new name for Bumbleby because they ain't bees anymore.

Can't really blame whoever submitted them as such given how Blake hasn't been wearing her proper color in years. Also didn't some people try to argue black was Adam's color and Blake going purple was her "embracing her true colors" or whatever? Which. Lol

As for a name, I humbly offer Dispassion Fruit. Between passion fruit having a purple type with yellow innards (a very apt description of post V5 Blake), the writers clearly not being passionate about this ship or this show, fruit being slang for gay, and the lack of genuine passion (aka chemistry) between the two ladies, I think this is a perfect ship name for what this dumpster fire has become

i really do want to join a craft group even being a virtual one, but i lurk mostly in servers. i've thought of making one, but i don not want to deal with having moderation even making it 18+ putting a bunch of 20 somethings together cause drama. like ive seen the tiktok crochet community cause drama over *checks notes* advising others to only use cotton yarn for pot holders so they dont burn themselves or their house down. even if i do like applications like ye old skype groups id feel so bad not letting people in. i'm still debating on maybe making one in the future but id have to really think of rules and stop being so shy and actually interact.

"She knows of the genocide [..]" This had me lose it like - the 𝙤𝙣𝙚 thing that can migitate canon!Edelgards actions is that she doesn't know the truth behind crest and is choosing the wrong target out of ignorance, yet in Caps fic she 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙨 Nemesis genocided the Nabateans for power and that crests were not given yet she 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 targets Rhea and the Nabateans for something humanity did? Pfft Cap attempting to make her look better makes her look a hundred times 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙚!

I KNOW MAN LIKE that was her one singular lifeline and Cap'n just cuts it without even realizing it it looks like

ughhhhh why can't I just experience emotions like a normal person

it's gotten to the point where I know I'm sad if I'm just more tired and irritable than usual

I know i'm sad rn bc I'm feeling tired and lazy, I have a headache, and i'm kinda mad for no real reason

Like I want to cry, I want to freak out in my room at 10 pm for an hour or two, because a day or two after I do that I feel better. But for some reason I just cant. Looking back on it, the last time I cried it was probably a panic attack. And now I want to cry to at least get rid of this weird overwhelming yet nonexistent feeling but I physically cannot even feel the sadness
