#we really live in hell

In one of my Moods I started a comprehensive document of all the English language on/off-Broadway Asian musicals (that is, centring around Asian character and/or settings) that have at least one Asian lyricist, composer and/or librettist. And it's pretty bleak!
Asian musicals by Asian people:
Allegiance, Flower Drum Song (2002 Reworking), KPOP, Maybe Happy Ending, Soft Power, The Band's Visit
Asian musicals by white people:
Aladdin, Flower Drum Song, Here Lies Love, Miss Saigon, Pacific Overtures, South Pacific, The King and I
Notably, all of the musicals written by Asian people (minus DHH's reworking of Flower Drum Song) were from the past 10 years or so. On the flip side, Here Lies Love is the only Asian musical written by white people from this century. A promising trend? I'll only be happy once Asian musicals actually have runs longer than 100 performances :')
#musical theatre#musicals#let me know if i'm missing anything!!#aladdin miss saigon and the king and i being the most famous asian musicals?#we really live in hell#anyways#i listened to soft power today#let DHH do whatever he wants

Sharing is Caring!
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#jiang cheng#While listening to the Lotus Seed extra I was like 'aw this art is so cute.'#Post The Fanfic Fiasco (re: last comic's tags) I am haunted by the green orbs. WWX has a bag of edible green orbs and I am in hell.#First draft of this comic's script has JC saying 'dude you wouldn't even share with me!' and I love his little sibling indignation.#Middle child power is knowing that you don't have to share with your siblings. The little wet eyes and weak hand slaps do NOTHING.#JC probably already ate all of his lotus seeds. That's on you dude!#Part of me wants to get deeper with the metaphor of the lotus seeds here. It is a gesture of a certain kind of affection.#JYL gives something to WWX she does not quite share with JC. And WWX in turn gives something to LWJ he does not share with JC.#Really puts JC's line 'You're always eating...eating eating' into a very different light.#There are other kinds of starving besides hunger. There are other ways to be a glutton than just food and drink.#WWX's character pre-burial mounds is heavily focused on 'Indulgence'. Be it wine or flirting or hunting or eating-#-or receiving admiration; He is always indulging in ways we never see JC do.#I think the intentional contrast was with the Lan's 'Live simple and without indulgence' lifestyle. LWJ is the abstainer to wwx's gluttony.#But it does expand to JC as well! Both are locked into the role model position to have friction against WWX's apparent freedom.#I think LWJ and JC (at this point) see WWX as something they both want (in different capacities) and someone they want to be.#Yet despite the history between them it is not JC who WWX reaches out to. It's LWJ.#The boy already has an inferiority complex! Stop making it accidently worse!

GRAVITY FALLS SPOILERS MAYBE? FOR THISISNOTAWEBSITEDOTCOM.COM — AT LEAST WITH BILL CIPHER AND STAN PINES/GRUNKLE
This involves thisisnotawebsitedotcom.com and Bill's PTSD involving Stan along with a theory of Bill Cipher possibly still in Grunkle Stan's mind.
So I've been seeing some people concerned over the idea that Bill Cipher hasn't left Stan's mind at least not fully, and while I do also have some belief that maybe some remnant is still there—perhaps it's just Bill's remains left behind all while his soul is trapped in Theraprism.
But the idea that Bill still has access to Stan like before, nah.
In reality; I highly doubt it, it feels just like at the end of The Book of Bill: where Bill snaps over the mere idea that Stanley must've influenced the reader not to join him, just him viscerally screaming out Grunkle Stan's name— resulting with Bill in the void swearing that someone will let him out.
Bill Cipher is labeled with Max Security Rec in the Theraprism, that implies that he's clearly being watched even if they had this one 'slip up' with the Book of Bill. They still hold more power over him since they confiscate his book after five minutes :)
To me, it feels like he's lashing out now—Bill is now what he considers his lowest and is raging at Stanley for not only beating him, for being a cheaper version of Sixer, but for also being happy. To me: Bill is desperate; he's trying to plant doubt that they fully purged him from Stan's mind in which I highly doubt that either the Axolotl or the Theraprism wouldn't notice.
—
But we'll see what happens if any updates come again, maybe I'm wrong and Bill isn't truly gone from the Pines Family 🤷♀️ but from what we've been seeing, Bill is grasping at straws now and clearly he's mad that he underestimated Grunkle Stan lmao get rekt loser
#aka Stan is now living his best life and Bill is seething not-coping throwing up and feral rn at his shi 🙄#This isn't the time Bill entered Stan's mind so for all we know Bill is pulling all this info on Stan from Episode:Dreamscapers#in an attempt to belittle+scare stanley and make us doubt that he's gone#after all Stan is the 'dumb lesser version' of Ford in Bill's eye: hes just mad now that he underestimated Grunkle Stan#Like CMON LITERALLY OUT OF EVERYONE THAT IVE NOTICED BILL IS STRAIGHT UP HOWLING INSULTS AT STAN LIKE DAMN#HE MAD AS HELL BOI#Like I know we talk about Bill being obsessed with Ford BUT THIS??? THIS IS HATE OBSESSION AND I LOVE IT SO UNDERATED#BRO WENT FERAL OVER THE IDEA OF STANLEY#lmao we love seeing an unbothered grunkle stan and his hate frothing enemies :]#gravity falls#the book of bill#the book of bill spoilers#gravity falls spoilers#book of bill#stanley pines#stan pines#grunkle stan#bill cipher#gf#tbob#tbob spoilers#look i really love this dynamic so much ajfhhf

something something about dead boy detectives what edwin's and charles' friendship is actually works in show so half of fandom won't even care if they end up romantic or stay friends. (almost won't care. we all love queer stuff. can't judge.) I, personally, just love their whole dynamic and for me it's totally understandable that charles went into hell for his friend and stayed on earth as a ghost so he can be with edwin. and I think edwin actually meant it when he said "he did not feel the same way but i think we're better friends because of it".
idk for me they're just love each other so purely. what's even a difference between romantic and platonic love?
#love is love#there's no difference as long as it warms ur heart#<- not my words btw#george said he don't think edwin is hurt by charles' words!!#i love then geogre talks about edwin btw#he just says my thoughts abt edwin#idk he doesnt know i exist but oh god he understands me so deeply#and btw charles literaly said “there's no one else no one else in the world who i will go to hell for”#!!#and i hate when somebody says that romantic love is “more” than a friendship cuz fuck no not really its all love#we cant live without love yes but it was never abt romantic love#dead boy detectives#dbd#dbd spoilers#edwin payne#charles rowland#chedwin#painland#paynland#edwin paine

walter white from breaking bad
Walter Hartwell White (Breaking Bad) is an Anime Girl!
#my name is walter hartwell white. i live at 308 negra arroyo lane albuquerque new mexico 87104. this is my confession. if youre watching thi#s tape im probably dead. murdered by my brother in law hank schrader. hank has been building a meth empire for over a year and using me as#is chemist. shortly after my 50th birthday hank came to me with a rather shocking proposition. he asked that i use my chemistry knowledge t#cook methamphetamine which he would then sell using his connections in the drug world. connections that he made through his career with the#DEA. i was... astounded. i always thought that hank was a very moral man and i was thrown. confused. but i was also particularily vulner#able at the time. something he knew and took advantage of. i was reeling from a cancer diagnosis that was poised to bankrupt my family. han#took me on a ride along and showed me just how much money even a small meth operation could make. and i was weak. i didnt want my family to#go into financial ruin so i agreed. every day i think back at that moment with regret. i quickly realized that i was in way over my head an#hank had a partner. a man named gustavo fring. a business man. hank essentially sold me into servitude to this man and when i tried to quit#fring threatened my family. i didnt know where to turn. eventually hank and fring had a falling out. from what i can gather hank was always#pushing for a greater share of the business to which fring flatly refused to give him and things escalated. fring was able to arrange uh i#uess you could call it a hit. on my brother in law. and failed but hank was seriously injured. and i ended up paying his medical bills whic#amounted to a little over 177000. upon recovery hank was bent on revenge working with a man named hector salamanca. he plotted to kill frin#and did so. in fact the bomb that he used was built by me and he gave me no option in it. i have often contemplated suicide but i am a cowa#d. i wanted to go to the police but i was frightened. hank had risen in the ranks to become head of the DEA and about that time to keep me#n line he took my children. for 3 months he kept them.my wife who up until that point had no idea of my criminal activities was horrified t#learn what i had done. why hank had taken our children. we were scared. i was in hell i hated myself for what i had brought upon my family.#recently i tried once again to quit to end this nightmare and in response he gave me this. i cant take this anymore. i live in fear every#ay that hank will kill me or worse hurt my family. i... all i could think to do was make this video in hope that the world will finally see#this man for what he really is.#breaking bad#walter white#your fave is an anime girl#your fave is#hall of fame

Remember, it's culturally insensitive to ask someone "how they're doing." Stick to Dystopia-Friendly Pleasantries instead like:
"I sure hope aliens invade the earth."
"I see you're awake, my condolences!"
"Are you sufficiently caffeinated?"
"The bags under your eyes look great!"
"Would you like to look at pictures of cats?"
[15 uninterrupted seconds of shrieking]

sorry to be a bit of a hater but i do wish youtubers weren't so scared of making their videos just like, "reviews", whys everything gotta be a "video essay" all the time. every day my recommendations are filled with 40 minute videos titled "_____: An Underrated Masterpiece" where the first like five minutes are reading the wikipedia definition of "masterpiece" in a somber voice with dramatic themed text on screen. please just tell me how good or bad you think something is and use the rest of the runtime to explain why. you dont need to put on all these airs
#i know the ahem. channel. of some awe....... that whole situation kind of scared people off from using the word review#but like we live in the future now. you can make a review. i believe in you#AND LIKE i like a good video essay!! but im picky. because i read academic shit for fun#when i see a capital E essay im expecting theses. im expecting sub headers. im expecting multiple examples AND footnotes with asides#(and i know this is a controversial topic but i do expect them to be long. because if you read aloud a 4 page journal article its gonna)#(take a bit of time LOL maybe i just read too much academia shit. but i dunno man. theres not a lot you can say about like a big huge)#(topic with multiple angles if you only have like 10 minutes. maybe i just talk too slow. i need to breath <3 )#theres other formats too. surveys. retrospectives. informative essays. persuasive essays. etc#and like i also read lots of reviews not just of like movies and books but of like gallery exhibitions and shit!! they can be extremely#interesting a lot of work and some really beautiful writing!! nothing wrong with a review!!! theyre important#but i do get annoyed with like. the odd air of pretention i see in a lot of video essays. especially cause its usually not backed up by#the content. i dont care for those airs in academia either. nor do i like it in documentaries#just talk naturally. you'll find your voice. there might be pretention in it in the end but it'll be yours#if im making sense. i hear a lot of people talking in a pretention that is not their own. something they put on because thats what they#think they should do. you need to find your own pretention. be pretentious in a way that feels natural to youuuuuu#hell im being pretentious. about this LOL but like its my own. it is a pretentiousness ive built over the past half decade#play around. write a blog. i dunno. find your voice dear youtubers. find your voice

thinkin bout magneto's lil list of aliases from that One Shot of his government file or w/e in 97 and how it lists the three main men who've played him (David Hemblen, Ian McKellen, Michael Fassbender) and kinda cackling at the idea 1.) if they included All his names 2.) having 'michael' on that list twice
#snap chats#'real name magnus' to YOU. maybe to me too idk magnus IS a cute name but not the topic#some people bemoan references to the movies in the comics/cartoons I HOWEVER think theyre always cute when it comes to the xmen...#like in legion of x- i forget who but someone was like 'magneto can do a GREAT gandalf impression just get him drunk first'#like oh im sure im sure he can... [insert rivals tank joke here]#kinda wish they called back to his other VAs or at least earl boen who played him in Pryde of the X-Men but ill live#i just like the shout outs in general..... thats so cute idc i love it when comics/shows do that#also love how david hemblen's name is the only one not fully censored vJELKJVAELKJ#rip king you'll always be iconic for your performance in 92. AND in road to avonlea <- he was in one (1) episode#anyway no please can you imagine how goofy that list would be. and how long#like 'you got two michaels on here you wanna explain' you gotta ask his ex about that one. michael a good name idk what to tell you#'ok so david hemblen ian [redacted] michael [redacted] michael. michael xavier......' loud ass eyebrow raise#ik in the tas verse mags doesnt get the opportunity to 'become' michael xavier but let me have this joke ok. just this one#didnt know charles could see into the future ... it really is so funny that a man named michael would eventually play mags tho#thats so funny .. serendipity or whatever#wait that just reminds me of when he borrows charles' last name for that 2012(? or was it 2011) magneto one shot#he couldnt have been going by michael xavier in that it was well before that time.. was he just going by 'magnus xavier'....#or just Mr. Xavier .. or charles xavier ... funny as hell i love magneto's name shenanigans#james arnold taylor deserves a shoutout. maybe not in tas but just in general WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE PLAYED TIDUS#INFAMOUS LAUGHTER TIDUS THAT ONE ????? range. he also played johnny test but we dont gotta talk about it#that fact alone has made he decide mags has an ugly laugh. like i know the context of the tidus laugh and its sad but ssh#ignore me im just. i love voice actor stuff its always so funny going down the rabbit hole#seriously tho shoutout to mr taylor he's played mags in virtually all his video game appearances. AND lego charles#thats enough outta me ok bye im gonna go

i have a hc that aren leans on something like a wall or desk or like slightly bows when he’s talking to shun to kinda get down to his level
#maybe because i do the same when i talk to my friend#and we have like the same height difference as them#like#exactly the same#i’m 173#she’s 159#anyways#saiki k#disastrous life of saiki k#saiki kusou no psi nan#saiki kusuo no psi nan#saiki kusuo no ψ nan#the disastrous life of saiki k#saiki k headcanons#shun kaidou#kaidou shun#aren kuboyasu#kuboyasu aren#meant as platonic but could be romantic if you want it to#forgot to mention that it annoys the hell out of shun#like ‘oh come on i’m not that short#you don’t need to bow down to talk to me dude’#<- literally something my friend said to me#we are them fr#she’s short and cares a lot about school#i’m tall ish with anger issues and i don’t really care about school and get mid grades#and i’m in love with saiki kusuo#only difference is that she’s the transfer and i’ve lived here my whole life#also forgot to mention that i’m an only child and she has both a brother and a sister

And while I'm on the subject of bitching about social media, I realize this is a controversial statement on the tankie TikTok addict site, but fun fact: you can in fact criticize the American government for trying to limit what websites you go on in the name of xenophobic capitalistic surveillance exploitation, while not also just turning around and giving your information to a site that is owned lock stock and barrel by another imperialist power with an EVEN MORE corrupt surveillance exploitation system.
You can, in fact, not fucking feed the identity theft misinformation algorithm on either side! Shocking, I know!
#TikTok#Rednote#TikTok ban#social media#xiaohongshu#xhs#YOU DO NOT NEED A TIKTOK. YOU DO NOT NEED A REDNOTE EITHER.#everyone like 'oh but the Chinese people are so nice' yeah the people are. I don't trust their government with a thirty foot pole.#I knew many wonderful Russian people before the war too. I cannot talk with most of them anymore because of their government.#which pervades almost every aspect of their lives; and due to the exploitative nature of it they can't even really complain#again it goes back to: you people do not NEED these sites. you COULD use other; less exploitative ones#you COULD in fact try to move away from traditional corporate social media altogether!#I've been saying we need to go back to smaller internet/web circles for years now!#hell it'd certainly make you less easy to track!#but then some of you go 'I need an audience for <insert whatever bullshit here>'#or worse: 'well they already have my data so why should I care?'#every day I am pushed by inches closer to my Ted Kaczynski moment by you dogs#obstinate neighing

The craziest thing is that I know exactly what’s wrong with Armand and could write a thesis on it but I have NO idea what’s wrong with Louis he’s a psychological mystery to me
#like what Daniel said psychologists will be clamoring to figure out what’s wrong with him#it’s also worse because he’s such an unreliable narrator we hardly know what the truth is#the differences between Louis and lestat’s physical fight?? you start thinking Lestat was just pounding the hell out of him#but then we see the fight again in s2 and Louis is about to kill lestat#AND YET WE CANT BELIEVE EITHER AS THE TRUTH#we only know that Lestat did drop him and that they fought but we can’t trust either version#Louis also suffers from a perpetual victim complex#but it makes a lot more sense in the show since he’s a black queer man living in the early 20th century#so we can start to really understand how he got to this point#but book louis was a perpetual victim and ANNOYING#I cannot wait for s3 when we are out of louis hea#not that Lestat is better… but he’s a bit more truthful??? that’s insane to say#I mean he lies a lot but he doesn’t self delude as much 💀 different personality disorder ig#but also ghost Claudia!!!#it’s the way no one in this show tells the truth ever 💀#iwtv#louis de pointe du lac

to my fellow creatives: never stop making art. art is an act of protest.
#i know that this is outside of what i normally post but a few days have passed and i've had time to think#the results of the US elections are hitting me really hard. i feel so gutted and betrayed and have no idea who the hell to trust anymore#so with that being said#I just want it to be abundantly clear that I am anti-Tr*ump and if you voted or support him in any way just unfollow me#actually do me a favor and block me#you do not deserve to read and enjoy art made by me if you think i don't deserve the right to fucking exist.#support black lives#free palestine#very fucking pro-choice#queer lives matter#disabled lives matter#i dislike the performative act of providing a list like this is a menu at a restaurant but i want there to be NO DOUBT where i stand.#there are many others who are more qualified and smarter than me to speak but i want to make it very clear to my followers where i stand.#and before someone says 'keep politics out of art' shut the actual fuck up. art and consuming art is and always will be political#and the only art worth anything is made by people like me and people who I love and support#and don't think it's only the US. the issues we have here are just as present in canada europe and asia and everywhere else.#there's so much more that i could say but that's all for now. my inbox is open.
