Game On!
THE MAGIC FLUTE Birmingham Hippodrome, Wednesday 3rd May 2023 Welsh National Opera is back in town with a brand new production of one of Mozart’s greatest works. The text, translated into English by Daisy Evans (who also directs) gives the Emanuel Schikaneder libretto a complete overhaul, removing the more direct Masonic aspects and the more problematic elements of the story to give us a fresh…

ive never gone to see an opera live in europe let alone one outside of a major theater that regularly records and broadcasts their productions so grain of salt etc but i think there's some kind of distinct cultural difference between how european companies do "reimagined" productions of operas vs how american companies do it
#sasha speaks#especially thinking about the number of 'canonical' operas that are recently getting adaptations over here#frequently into english language musicals/operettas#not like rent and miss saigon though i mean more like matchbox magic flute#and la périchole getting adapted as songbird by glimmerglass and wno#or the local company that's putting on a 'circus' version of rigoletto with a new english libretto here in dec#(not sure what that will entail yet but i'm intrigued to find out)#hell even the upcoming pirates of penzance revival on bway which is also weirdly enough getting the jazz age new orleans makeover#ik pirates and bway is a different story from Opera(tm) Proper but still. tangential#anyway don't expect much more elaboration tonight i'm in bed rn as i type.#plus i'd want some actual researched data to back up my claim here if i were to really go on#and i have enough school related research to be prioritizing rn as it is#anyway#oh also smth about what content does and does not appeal to american vs european audiences#and by extension what you can and cannot get away with depicting onstage#(for a recent example consider sancta susanna vs grounded)#(okay anyway gn for real this time)

Yeah ..Todd in the Shadows (a strictly music reviewer) making an hour long video exposing James Somerton (a former video essayist) for misinformation and plagiarism DEFINITELY wasn't on my bingo card for 2023.
#todd in the shadows#james somerton#hbomberguy#youtube#tell me why i was scrolling youtube at 3 in the morning and that was the first recommended video on my homepage#and after watching it then and finishing it this morning#wow#as someone who actually watched some of james' videos#im disappointed#and a little freaked out#especially when todd dispelled all the nazis claims james made#the thing that got me was when jamee claimed that legend of korra was taken off the air for korrasami#even though it was because of the ratings drop#no thanks to nickelodeon#which is easy and basic information to find on wikipedia#but im probably reaching as someone wno actually watched korra as it aired#im like bro you can't just make claims like that#especially when there's info that dispels that from the creators themselves#cite your sources people

If I drew my fictional crush like Springtrap right now, I would have exploded long ago.
I should definitely reduce the drawing a bit. back to the old version!
i think you should draw your fictional crush exactly the way you drew springtrap :] i think you would really like it if you did that :]]]

finally the theatre play prompt.
ugh girl...i had WAY too much fun with this prompt...like my head went
Theatre -> Opera -> La Traviata
its so unhinged....
and of course i got ErrorInk in here too....Error is Alberto RIP lol.
these pictures are ass i hate my camera and also my dads monitor that i used to prop up the thingy!!!
i had like sooo much fun with the blood....i need to paint more blood...mphjhgjhh....
The inspiration for this pose/background/EVERYTHING actually comes from the La Traviata production at WNO!! i saw the dress rehearsal and ugh...it ended so beautifully and tragically...the acting and the singing ughh....so good. made the ending SO much more impactful....
oh. i also did this one in particular because i keep on getting struck with visions of courtesan Ink and client Error. please help i kind of love the idea.
anyway.
Prompt 5 Theatre Play!!!!
Ink by Comyet
Error by Loverofpiggies
...La Traviata by Verdi...ugh....

Tocharian B Love Poem, manuscript B496, 6th-7th C. CE
"…a thousand years, [you will] tell [our] story. [I thus announce, [here]tofore there was no human being dearer to me than [you]; likewise hereafter there will be no one dearer to [you] than [me]. [Your] love, [your] affection, [my] jubilant song rises up! Along with life [itself], this should not come to an end for [my] whole life. I was thinking: “I will live with one love well [for the whole of my] life, without any deceit, without…” The God [of Karma] alone recognized this, my thought. Thus he provoked a quarrel; it ripped out my heart [that belonged] to [you. I]t led [you] afar, it tore me apart, it turned me into a partaker of all sorrows; he took away the consolation [I had] in thee… my life, spirit, and heart, day-by-day…"

I do think it's unfair to publicly dunk on someone wno seems, by a dispassionate analysis, to probably be acting abrasive due to some level of mental health crisis - but, obviously, this can be hard to discern from simple trolling or reactionary incoherence. In general, this is why it's good practice to avoid including identifying details, at the least.

owl man lore. enkys. lore. pls. i beg. i wish ot know eveyrthing about him. how does he influence all the events in tgopd? does it all come back to hims? also, does he interact the main caseT? oh1 and why owl? actualli ave more questions--what's his origin sotyr? and why so many deahtns on his hands.
sorry im very sleep but i ned to wno.
So ahhh this gets deep in spoilers and I mean for the series so proceed below the line at your own risk...not sure how much will be used or changed by the time I get to book 4.5
Enky is the first god....he sprang forth from the void and is the void...the others showed up many years after he had started building a world alone. The company was nice and slowly they began to create things for the planets within the realm.
Enky can travel between them at will as can Solace and Kieran if he wanted to as they all have a connection with the ether of the world that the other gods do not.
Long ago there was a war in which Damaluna Enky's betrothed died in, with here death Enky snapped and ended the war by killing the one responsible but as a result well...let's just say only a handful of the gods survived the explosion the fates died and they had to rebuild...
Enky is the only one who saw the path Nereza was going down and warned the others but it was for naught.... They did not listen..
Bonus fact by warning them of it he was sacrificing his own happiness as he knew that if that path wasn't taken then Damaluna wouldn't be reborn again.. but for those he considered family he was willing to remain alone forever...
Well, they didn't listen events are happening and Mal, Oisìn, Taz and Jade are in the heart of it along with Kieran... He is manipulating things in a way that gives them the best chance as he cannot outright help them as it would cause another war and he'd rather not be the only god left in existence...
Owls were the bird that Damaluna had a connection with...she had one as a pet so his preference for owls is a commitment to her...before meeting her his preference had been crows and eagles...but the swift wings of an owl aren't too bad and it reminds him of the times he traveled with her in his owl form.
Kieran may be the main god of the series but Enky has his hand in everything including certain actions that solace takes.
I hope that answered your ask.
