“what’s posted on the internet stays there forever” is true for everything except that one piece of fanart you saw when you were 10 that changed the trajectory of your life forever. you will never find that again it is gone forever

I live in one of the most expensive cities in the world and even some of theist delicious food from the taco trucks under our highways are cheaper than McDonald’s $16-$24 “meals”

I dunno man. I found out today that a subway sandwich is $14 now. A shitty subway footlong sandwich that isn't actually 12 inches long and is occasionally made with expired ingredients and was never a great option to start with. I ate those in high school because I was broke and at the mall a lot.

There are poke bowls in my city from a local place for $16. Super fresh fish and veg, warm rice, more than I can eat in one sitting, for the price of a sandwich and a drink at america's most mid-tier sandwich shop.

Someone in another post said (paraphrased) you used to be able to get something mediocre for cheap, but now the mediocre things cost as much as the nice things so why would you?

DO NOT DO THIS!!!

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

Question !!

I’m interested to hear people’s opinions on the violence and tragedy depicted in spring awakening

I’ve heard before from people who didn’t care for the musical that it felt like playing things off for shock value and just one bad thing after another.

I have opinions on this (obviously) but I’m interested to hear from others

[thesongofpurplesummer]

watching a spring awakening 2006 off-broadway bootleg and ohhh. OHHHH. the fact that moritz opens his own grave before he kills himself. and burns frau gabor’s letter and leaves it to be buried with him. i feel nauseous

[thesongofpurplesummer]

If the timeline is correct, he would we about 23-24. He changed his name from Moritz to Morris. Otto went with him and Otto changed his name to Oscar and they posed as brothers

HI. HELLO THERE. MORITZ GETS THE MONEY TO FLEE TO AMERICA AND BECOMES A NEWSIE. THAT IS ALL.

Spring awakening characters as things me and my friends have said

Melchior: she didn't mark my test this shit's homophobic.  

Moritz: I have concluded that my entire life is just wii mii music and  unsettling images. 

Georg: I'm sorry but how the fuck is stealing a pigeon illegal like how do you even steal a fucking pigeon like I'm sorry but if it's on the street it's free real estate. 

Otto: I spent my entire life thinking being  royalty  was something special like they called them blue bloods and I thought their blood was literally blue like you'd cut them and the blood stayed blue. 

Melchior: I don't deal with my intrusive thoughts; I just kind of intervene when they're like, 'you should jump off a bridge.' I'm all 'do you take constructive criticism?'

Ernst: I'm sorry but why tell me that i shoul take art this year like you've seen my drawing ? my stick figures look like they should go to A&E.  

Hanschen: oh no I'm being sincere I just constantly sound sarcastic.

Anna: I have nothing against being in the ensemble it's just you get given shit by the people whose characters have names she was all like 'you know you're replaceable right?'  Well no shit Sandy so are you that's why you have a fucking understudy.

  Moritz: honestly love triangles are fucking pyramid schemes.

  Ilse:  grandparents are weirdIi just got given £10 and a half assed talk about acceptance involving  the phrase alternative lifestyle like my aunt practices witchcraft but my lifestyles alternative.

  Wendla: and remember kids you'll never be single with Christian mingle.

Gentle reminder that the human eye is naturally drawn by noise and movement, so the next time you walk into a crowd or a bit late into a lecture or something like that, they’re not staring at you or judging; it’s just an instinctive reaction that has nothing to do with you doing anything wrong.

shout out to tim walz who essentially said “it’s none of my fucking business if a woman gets an abortion. but if they dont we’re making sure that kid is fed and housed and if they do we’re making sure they’re taken care of and surviving”

Musical Theatre Roles from Lowest to Highest (male range)

I’m not nearly as familiar with the ins and outs of the male range, so I’ve made the range divisions much more general.  Some of these characters are definitely up for interpretation for which vocal part they fall under, but if you feel a character is way out of place, please let me know!  I absolutely could have mixed up one of the octave numbers here, so please don’t be shy about messaging me, I would really appreciate it actually!

Note that I’ve placed some of these based on what the original casting call labelled them as, not my own interpretation.  Also note that I’ve based each of these octave numbers on the piano octave numbering.  There’s a lot of discrepancy in how male range is labelled, so if in doubt, remember that I’ve based this off of the piano octaves.

Don’t know your vocal range?  Check out this video for help figuring it out!

You can find the female counterpart to this post here!
