Cirque de Soleil: Without a Net Will Leave One Gasping for Air

If you have never been to a #CirquduSoleil show Dawn Porter's new doc puts you right in the middle of the action #withoutanet https://wp.me/p2v8yf-6zB #podcast

While performing in Vegas two of my castmates from The Lion King in Los Angeles moved to the desert and ended up in at Cirque.  I distinctly remember having the best seat in the house (the sound booth) and being mesmerized by every song, dance, trick and costume.  I had never seen or experienced anything quite like it. More than 215 million people in 70 countries have seen a Cirque du Soleil…

John Cutler, Former Grateful Dead Sound Engineer and Producer, Dies at 73

- “John had more integrity than anyone I’ve ever known,” band archivist David Lemieux says

John Cutler, who spent more than two decades as a Grateful Dead sound engineer and produced the band’s best-selling album, has died, his brother said.

Cutler, 73, died Christmas Eve “after a long illness,” Bill Cutler said in a statement.

“I know he was loved by many of you, and in the coming days I will share some stories about his life, but right now, our family needs time to process this and grieve,” Bill Cutler said.

Cutler was a longtime sound engineer for the Dead when he was tapped to produce 1987’s In the Dark. He was also at the boards for 1989’s Built to Last and 1990’s Without a Net and ran the mixing board for the band’s late-career gigs.

In 1999, Cutler hired David Lemieux, who is now the Dead’s archivist.

“John had more integrity than anyone I’ve ever known,” Lemieux said of his “friend and mentor” Cutler.

“An incredibly talented audio engineer, mixer and producer, John was a very kind person, one of the best.”

I find it genuinely dystopian how you need to add the word human before ‘artist’ nowadays. The scope of art is massive and you can technically argue that anything of nature is capable of producing art, but it has always been humans who've interpreted art the best. Something that is so close to the human soul, to the point that it can be called inherent — being tangled with something like artificial intelligence, sickens me.

I know there are debates about AI transcending to a more advanced stage, but that is a hypothesis of the distant future, an experiment that humans are conducting, more accurately. Perhaps it has raised more questions, made us reevaluate many things, made us appreciate authentic art more. However, it doesn't change the fact that it's still a robbery of human expression. The damage that's been done to people's trust in relation to art can never be undone.

It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things ; but I'll never forgive whoever it was that saw art as a chore and something that needed to be made ‘quick and easy’ to consume. AI will replace and end us? No one wants the destruction of humans more than humans do.

do todoroki and izuku ever figure out they’re in love with each other

Not in pez. I doubt I’ll ever continue this universe past the ending point of pez, but I do have a way I imagine them getting together in the future.

They don’t get together until after the final battle with AfO. There’s a moment in the aftermath while the dust is still settling where no one is certain if Izuku survived. He and AfO had fought until the air burned with energy, until the sky glowed green with lightning. It ended with them crashing back to the earth like fallen angels, and then the entire world falling silent.

There’s a crater where they landed, and no one climbs out from it.

Mirio’s the first one to rush into the battlefield. His body moved before he could think. He screams Izuku’s name until he’s hoarse, and Aizawa has to restrain him before he tries to climb into the crater himself.

That’s the moment Todoroki realizes that he wants to tell Izuku he’s in love with him. The moment where he’s not certain if it’s too late.

Izuku survives, of course. He clambers out of the crater, falls to his knees, and gives Mirio a small nod. Then, he throws one fist in the air, and entire world knows that he won.

Mirio and Aizawa are helping him out of the carnage when Todoroki stumbles up to them. Cameras are filming, the entire world is watching, their entire class is swarming next to them, and Todoroki just can’t wait any longer. He waited too long as it was.

He tells Izuku he’s in love with him. He’s sorry. He knows Izuku doesnt feel the same way and he doesn’t want anything to change between them. But he’s been in love with him since they were kids and he needs Izuku to know.

And Izuku stares at him a beat and says. I’ve been in love with you since we were kids.

And Todoroki says. What.

And Izuku says. Yeah. Since we were like. Fifteen.

And Todoroki says that he’s been in love with Izuku since they were fifteen.

And Izuku is like. No way.

And Todoroki says: “I thought you were in love with Iida.”

And Izuku says: “I thought you were in love with Iida.”

And Iida, who is also there, says: “WHAT”

Everyone is exceedingly lucky that they are all so relieved that Izuku did not die in a terrible passion because otherwise Iida would kill them both with his bare hands. How could they have both subjected him to years of completely unrestrained pining for one another because they both wrongly assumed that the other was in love with HIM.

Izuku, as if it were obvious: you were the obvious choice

Todoroki, also as if it were obvious: anyone would be in love with you Iida

The rest of the class: *nods, murmurs of acknowledgment*

Iida: *has to go lie down in one of the ambulances*

After that, Todoroki and Izuku are officially together. They are immediately subjected to the rest of the class unloading several years worth of shit onto them for taking this long to figure it out.

This is a mistake on the class’s part, because they are the biggest assholes around. After two days of being teased for how slow they were, they announce their engagement. Every single time someone tries to explain to them it’s absolutely fucking insane to get engaged after two days of dating, they double down say, “I’m sorry, I thought we were doing this too slow” and insist this isn’t just to get back at everyone for being assholes about how long it took them.

This is a lie. They are absolutely faking the engagement and doing this to get back at everyone.

Iida argues with them for several hours and then has to go lie down.

Anyway they completely forget they did this, date for a lovely year and a half, and Todoroki proposes to Izuku at a tasteful dinner in the countryside following several weeks of psychological warfare because both realized the other was going to propose and spent several weeks sabotaging the other’s attempts so that way they could beat them to the punch. Todoroki ended up winning after recruiting All Might, Inko, and Eri into his scheme, which Izuku insists was an underhanded move in between bouts of crying from joy.

They announce their engagement to their friends and families like it’s somehow a new development, which makes them remember that they were already officially engaged and have been for years. This reveals that their engagement was, in fact, a sham meant to get back at everyone for how much shit they gave them, which makes Iida spend several hours alternating between congratulating them, crying a bit, telling them how genuinely happy he is for them, and shouting at them for faking an engagement and then forgetting about it. And then he has to go lie down.

They have a very lovely wedding that absolutely everyone cries at, and that has so many heroes in attendance that Japan had to fly in heroes from other countries to handle the shortfall in labor. Mirio is Izuku’s best man and Momo is Todoroki’s, and they’ve already agreed have to pick a venue with an extra large space for the altar because the entire class is in their wedding party.

They wanted to have their parents walk them down the aisle, but there’s obvious issues with Endeavor. Izuku has Inko and All Might walking him down, and Todoroki was going to just have his Mom do it alone, until Iida barreled in asserting his rights as Todoroki’s teen dad. It wasn’t easy but by god he raised them well and he’s earned this. He labored as the dad friend he agonized and he is owed this by right.

Iida cries openly while giving Todoroki away. It’s very dramatic.

Iida, sobbing in the row reserved for parents of the grooms, holding hands with Inko who is also sobbing: I’m sorry, it’s just, they grow up so fast

Dabi, sitting in the row behind him, here because Fuyumi threatened his life if he didn’t come, with open disgust: you’re the same goddamn age.

There’s a line out the door to give speeches. None of them were planned for, save Mirio and Momo, but no one tried to stop them either. Everyone had something to say.

They live in a small, cozy house, and they get a dog and a cat, and the dog is mostly Izuku’s and the cat is mostly Todoroki’s, and their couch is rarely empty. There’s so many people who love them to fill it. Izuku is always on his bullshit, and Todoroki is never more than a step behind, and Iida spends the rest of his life blaming them for his impending grey hairs, but he’s always right there with them.

They have all the love they never thought they’d have, and they’re happy together. For the rest of their lives, they’re happy.

Question about posting asks: How much is too much?

I get more than I can draw for. I want to answer people's questions instead of ignoring them if I can't draw something, but at the same time, I don't want to flood dashboards with a bunch of non-art posts. I can't seem to answer an ask with anything less than 3 paragraphs of words word words, so that doesn't help matters.

Sometimes I bundle a bunch of asks together into a single post, but I worry that's not a great way to answer them either, since it's probably more onerous to read through 10,000 words at once instead of shorter chunks (assuming one cares to read my character ramblings at all, ha).

Would it help to have a dedicated tag so people can block the text-only posts if they don't want to see them? Thus far I've been trying to tag all non-art posts as #text, but maybe it would help to have something more specific. A tag for character/lore asks and one for... anything not that, perhaps.
