They had done it. They had successfully captured one of the deathworlders. It had been a hard fought endeavor, and many were injured in the process, but it was a success. The creature, a human as it called itself, was being contained and interrogated.

"Tell us what we wish to know or face extermination." A crewmate said.

The human looked up at them through it's cell. It was unnerving. The eyes of an intelligent apex predator locking onto you. Then it bared it's teeth and let out a laugh. That was honestly more unnerving.

"You have no idea what you've done, do you?" It asked.

"Don't play games with us. Tell us about your defenses, weaknesses, anything!" The captain ordered.

"And if I don't?" The human asked.

"We already told you, extermination. Maybe we'll even use you as an example for the rest of your kind." Another crewmate said.

The creature only laughed more and more, getting more unhinged as it went on.

"What's so amusing?" I dared to ask.

The laugh stopped but the teeth stayed bared. "Humans historically have trouble getting along. But when we do, we are a force of nature. We just need the right incentive, and one of our own being taken by a hostile alien race is more than enough." It told them.

The crew took a startled jump back when it suddenly rushed forward and clamped it's appendages on the bars, looking more savage than before. "So go ahead. Either I live and become a motivator, or don't and become a martyr. So do whatever you'd like, and know that you can't kill me in any way that matters." It said, cackling all the while.

The crew felt terror never before felt, and the resulting spread of humanity to the stars haunts whoever survived to this day.

now exactly a week on from me seeing tgwdlm: reprised i can finally talk about one of the most unexpected things that happened to me that day, because i finally got to share it with my brother and he needed to hear it from me in person first

set-up point 1: as i’ve talked about on here before, my brother’s college put on a production of tgwdlm in january where he played paul (and killed it <3). i brought the program from his show to this one on the off-chance i could get it signed by jon or anyone else, but then saw the songs about no stage dooring on my way in and went “ah well”.

set-up point 2: they were recording both shows on saturday the 26. i was originally sat right behind the camera on the left side but then made a trade with a couple of people who wanted to sit with the rest of their friends, giving me a middle seat.

then about five minutes after i moved to that seat, i see someone i immediately recognize, in a blue sweater and red baseball cap, in the front by the stage, who then makes his way over to talk to the people sat behind the cameras.

i make a decision. i get up, go and talk to him. i tell him “hi, my brother played paul in the production of this show where they had the parrot [the one *you* brought up in the kickstarter livestream]. can you sign this program from their production for me [with the shitty pen i borrowed from the hotel on my way here because i didn’t think to pack a better one]?”

he says “oh cool!” and “sure :)”, and does. so, tl;dr, thank you nick lang, for being cool and making my brother’s day today :) (and also for writing a hell of a musical)

Starkid musicals, poorly summarised:

The only time in history when a harry potter parody actually understood what parody is and didn't just make crude jokes the entire time

Sex: The Musical

This aged horribly even by itself but was made even worse by the author of the source material making her opinions everyone's problem

World's most transgender insect goes on a catfishing spree, shenanigans ensue

Superheroes are a fundamentally silly and whimsical concept no matter how edgy you make them. Also friendship is awesome

That one project you never finished even though it could have been great and also there's a weirdly sexual song from a freaky ass spider

They did a better job of subverting a disney movie to make the villain the good guy than disney ever could and eviscerated the entire company along the way

Darth Vader's midlife crisis: The Musical

Family road trip gone horribly wrong

Prehistoric bisexual woman invents hubris

Who the hell said zombie movies can't be fun and whimsical?

American shopping culture is a fucking nightmare: An Essay

Christian girl experiences sexual awakening, 5 dead, 2 injured

What modern fairytale retellings need is PUPPETRY and going back to before disney had a chokehold on the genre and sanitised everything
