List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers :)

Theater - I’m in Sweeney rehearsal as I type this, waiting to start act II sitz and I’m so hyped about it

My friends :3 - I have recently come to terms with the fact that I actually have those and that they like and care about me so that’s pretty sick. I like and care about them too!!! (This includes tumblr mutuals, love y’all)

My Shows - Doctor Who, X-Files, Delicious in Dungeon, everything on Dropout, Critical Role. Easy serotonin babey

Sitting on surfaces people don’t usually sit on - the floor, a table, other assorted furniture. It’s the best way to rest

Planning for things - I love having a schedule and knowing exactly what I’m doing. I gotta buy pants and apply for a job and play dnd and practice for an audition this weekend and I know exactly when and for how long. Feels good.

OK, but I love that Essek might be appearing in the Mighty Nein series before he meets the Nein! It's not just me wanting More Essek (though I do) or wanting to see more of what was going on with his dealings with the Assembly (which I also do). I think this could be super fucking interesting from a narrative construction standpoint.

Because I cannot see how you can include Essek from early in the series and not make it clear to the audience that he's the Dynasty traitor loooong before the Nein find out. Essek having stolen the beacons will not be a surprise. It looks to me like the cast are swapping out surprise for a fuckton of suspense. (Suspense vs surprise was explained to me when I was studying narrative structure as 'surprise is when a bomb goes off that the audience didn't know was there. Suspense is when they see the bomb being placed and have to sit there begging the characters to realise it's there.' In this analogy, Essek is the bomb.)

When we watched C2, the question was is Essek the traitor? In the M9 show, the question for new watchers will be when will the Nein realise that Essek is the traitor? When Essek meets the Nein, the countdown starts ticking; people will know that he is a danger. He is manipulating them. He is going to hurt them. Will the Nein realise before it's too late? But then Essek starts really befriending them, showing more of his loneliness and vulnerability, and... I think the mood will shift. Oh, shit, he really cares about them, doesn't he? What will the Nein do if they find out? Do I even want them to find out? What if they reject him and it makes him worse? He can't keep this up much longer, this is unbearable, they're going to find out - OH FUCK THEY'RE FINDING OUT -

It's such a fascinating choice and I think it goes to show that adaptation is an art form in itself! The actual events in the world will be the same, or at least very similar, but a new format means you can show those events in a totally new way and create a completely different tone! Narrative structure is the fucking coolest! I'm so excited for this show!

OBVIOUSLY being a forever DM would mean I’ve gotten quite good at improv. I just didn’t realize it until, due to procrastination, my group in theatre class improvised two scenes out of four we were supposed to have written and they were both miles better and funnier than the two that were scripted. And I played the villain redeemed through compassion in both.
