Holy Dagger | Unholy Chalice

(pt: Holy Dagger | Unholy Chalice /end pt)

Holy/Divine Dagger (link); a queer person who’s presentation is stereotypically considered unholy/sacrilege in nature, but the user sees it as holy/divine.

Unholy/Sacrilege Chalice (link); a queer person who’s presentation is stereotypically considered holy/divine in nature, but the user sees it as unholy/sacrilege.

we feel like these experiences could be described by chalice & dagger, but we wanted a term that was more “upfront” about it ^u^ (smiling emoticon).

holy/divine dagger for cam!

Thinking about that time I did a forty minute presentation on power point night and half of it was me not shutting up about how mentally ill bruce’s relationships with his children makes me

People who think Mizuki is a boy (cis or trans) are dumb as hell when you apply any modicum of critical thinking unto her story but ESPECIALLY when you consider that what gave her the confidence to present the way she does now (extremely femininely) is her time on Nightcord.

You know, the place where she was free to present as she pleased, free of her physical self behind the screen. Where she meets the other members of N25, who operate on the assumption that she is a girl, almost as if Mizuki presented herself that way towards them, maybe even told them that she's a girl. Where she goes by the name of Amia, a female character from an anime, a character she admires.

Mizuki chose to present herself as a girl in cyberspace, where she was free to present herself as she pleased without consequence. And in presenting herself as a girl, in relishing in that freedom, she gained the confidence to present herself the way she truly wanted in real life, going from her more masculine presentation in middle school to the way she is now! If Mizuki was simply a feminine-presenting boy, there would be no reason for her to present as a girl online, which would lead to Nightcord operating on the assumption that she was a boy instead! Mizuki's freedom to be a girl online is why she is where she is now!

I kind of find it funny that Movie! Goldenheart are visibly different heights and are less... For lack of a better term straightifiable (by which I mean, it's harder for like, fujoshis to project heterosexual gender norms onto them wherein shorter=feminine=bottom etc) while Comic! Goldenheart, which is VERY often straightified with Comic Ambrosius often being treated/written as if he was a woman, are shown on numerous occasions to be exactly the same height. Like go ahead and try to make him UwU petite, he's not any shorter than Blackheart. As for Boldheart who IS shorter than Ambrosius, he's an absolute brick shithouse so try to feminize him I dare you??

Idk I just think it's a fun slap in the face to people who reduce gay male characters to stereotypical heterosexual gender norms. N.D. Stevenson said no ladies here these bitches GAY gay with those character designs.

a few additional notes on the matinee + what i wrote down for the final show of STAGE/FRIGHT (all apr 5. i'm probably the last one to realise apr 5 = 9??)

‼️ spoilers ahead ‼️

the matinee:

-during the SARDINES reference in the kidnappers, someone behind us gasped and said "sardines!" (so cute tbh!!)

-one thing i forgot to mention about the lack of video wall - we also miss the "Reece Shearsmith 1969-2025" bit. i wonder how that played out with the first-timers!

-on a related note - i'm 99.9% sure the 2 men sat behind us were seeing the show for the first time, bc the one who said "oh my godd" kept asking the person he came with, whether the show had been running for long. iirc his companion couldn't really answer & said "today's the last one i think"

-the people sat next to me i felt like they were wondering why i was covering my ears before it started. well. they found out why soon enough 🤣 (also at some point before the first jumpscare & the one before the start of act ii, i yelled at @somuchwatersoclosetohome that i wasn't listening to anything she was saying 🤣🤣)

anddd this behaviour did not change for the last show 😂 gosh how was knowing there were jumpscares even worse!! it's the anticipatory reaction or something, i guess??

anyway. for the last show - AGAIN thank you @somuchwatersoclosetohome for the ticket. honestly, the matinee show was an impulse decision made while i was at work (which really shows how terminally online i am 🤦‍♀️), but the final one i was like ?? do i even try? but after a brief chat and she came through so quickly it was like what!! this is happening i guess!!

a quick note: i'm aware more of the fandom have seen this one so none of the below is original or even coherent tbh. just everything i jotted down during the interval + formulated in my head earlier today!

the seating:

-was up in a box (with @donotbelasagne) this time! here's what the view was like:

-the far-left of the stage is obstructed view, so for moments like in terror at the asylum eg the goudron/cragg bit by the door or the painting of madame goudron's head coming off - you would miss if you didn't lean forward (well the former you would still miss, actually).

-on the plus side - what was fun was seeing all the marks on the stage!! which i didn't start focusing on until bcdr when tommy & len are moving/things around. and little things like seeing prop (or real?) sushi in the itsu box during a house divided, and something actually in maggie's pret coffee cup (but likely a prop since i don't think there was actual liquid in it lol). and vince's coffee cup was definitely completely sealed (there was what looked like a black sticker on it). also seeing len/steve crouching behind the wall during brown bottles! hehe

-the main bit that i stared at was during the self-taping scene when abby & sherrie go to play the tape back, there's nothing actually playing in the camera. i suppose that's obvious knowing the video wall footage is pre-recorded, but still oddly satisfying to see it!

-as an aside, us being in an upper box means i was conscious of people possibly staring at me covering my ears before the jumpscares loll but you know what! i saw a few people do the same thing before the end of the interval. so. you know.

the kidnappers:

-fr i just wanna quietly say, i was hoping the last guest would be tim key (more about him in my upcoming soppy/journey post)

-but jonathan ross was a nice surprise!

-the part that got me unexpectedly was tommy's usual "you're not on graham norton now" line, and jonathan's response of just flipping the bird lmaoo, then tommy/reece's subsequent "he wouldn't have you on anyway!" 🤣🤣🤣

-jonathan calling len/steve "odd looking" and tommy/reece "generic/short handsome guy"?? someone please tell me the EXACT phrasing bc i was too busy going 😮🤭 (self-reminder to watch that interview!!)

-when he goes to hide in the wardrobe, he doesn't close the door properly iirc! christina(?) had to close it!

-steve drawing out the celery line omggg it was amazing

-when jonathan bursts out of the wardrobe to correct len, he just goes back in again! i think someone backstage or christina again had to remind him to go back out.

-the only part of his tirade that's seared into my brain is calling len/steve a hedgehog (what!!!)

-as mentioned in @kookaburrito's post, jonathan's bit going up the stairs is namedropping mark (ofc), but he says "mark gatiss and his beautiful swan neck" (omg!!!) he was NOT expecting that combination of words to come out of his mouth lbr!!

interval:

-at the ~15min mark, the safety curtain kept going up and down, and the lights kept dimming and brightening? definitely got a bit nervous that the video wall wasn't working again.

-just for fun i recorded a bit of this (i hope this gets uploaded/posts properly, lmk if it doesn't):

-it went maybe 5mins over than usual but all seemed well when the theatre attendants closed the curtains!

stray observations:

-before the show, @donotbelasagne mentioned that there are recorded coughing noises playing throughout?? it was funny to hear this bc during the matinee, i can't remember during which part now, i definitely DID notice some coughing. i tend to be easily annoyed sensitive of this, so when i heard it, i remember thinking "who the HELL is coughing at a time like this??" for this one, i did clock coughing again!

-about the toby/reece switch - i realise it's not a huge technical thing but this time i did try to watch the centre of the stage. when it goes completely dark and abby starts circling around with the camera light, i did see that a body (don't know whose ofc!) was still lying there! and...that's all i have to say about that lol

-during tears of laughter, iirc after bloody belle's bit, the associate director & simon evans briefly go into that box to watch! simon was also recording a bit on his phone!!

-i missed looking at goudron's sleeve garters wtf!! but now that i think about it i guess i did see them but wasn't going gasp it's sleeve garters. idk?? gah!!

-steve flubbing the "bloody good piece(?) of theatre" line haha!!

-WHO shouted "bloody belle" three times early, during the addressing the audience part!!

-the curtain call and steve thanking every member of the company, the stage hands, and the front of house staff!! 🥹🥹🥹 (also iirc toby was actually crying or at least extremely teary-eyed! as was everyone i think!)

-for both shows iirc many people "aww'd" at the "maybe every ghost story really is a love story" line at the end <3

two thoughts on stage door:

-i did attempt to make eye contact this time! don't think i did last time due to the sudden-ness of it all, but alas r&s weren't really looking at anyone anyway - probably due to the rush!

-can i just say it didn't immediately occur to me before, but bhav is quite good-looking!!

alright i think that's it for now! anything i've left out or forgotten i'm sure someone else may bring up & articulate it better lol.
