For clarification, when I mean "bible" I mean the design pages of makeup and costume. Like for Rumpleteazer:

So, I can look up these pictures, which means they have to come from somewhere. If they're uploaded by techs or actors and are grouped in with scripts, that makes sense. I was just wondering if fans could get their hands on them as well.

Do you know if there's like, an performers' bible for CATS costumes and makeup and if people can buy it?? I see pictures everywhere and I just love it, but is it something that actors take pictures of and upload to social media, and that's how we see it???

. . . i honestly have no clue. Sorry.

I'm gonna call in the experts for this.

@whitmerule @the-cat-at-the-theatre-door @statisticalcats2 @cryptidvoidwritings and @white-cat-of-doom are the most knowledgeable Cats people on the site that i know of. Maybe one of them can answer this for you.

THERE'S A FAMILY TREE!!!!!!!?!

It does focus more on their neighbors (221 Boys don't feature until the 2nd half of Season 2) but the writing and the mystery gives some old school vibes and it's a hoot and a half to listen to~

If you enjoy old school Sherlock/Watson can I suggest Fawx and Stallion podcast????

I adore old school Sherlock/Watson! Is it a big part of the podcast? I'd heard it revolved around their neighbors, or am I getting it mixed up with another Holmes-adjacent podcast?

Please tell me more! I am always happy to be sold on pastiche and Holmes related content.

I'm introducing my roommate to Sailor Moon and we're doing PGSM now and I SWEAR every night ends with me doing a goddamn TED Talk about how PGSM expands and complicates the characters AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!

does anyone else think routinely about how PGSM making princess serenity the villain of the story fundamentally changed the fabric of thinking about sailor moon as a whole. does anyone else lie awake thinking about how PGSM having minako dies changes her entire relationship to rei. does anyone else just stare into the distance thinking about how mamoru helping usagi in the last battle, after spending so much time trying to fight his feelings and honor his fiancee who saved his life just totally changes the fabric of their relationship. does anyone just think about the darkury arc and how ami's jealousy is so warranted and so interesting and that her love of usagi is such a huge driving force of the show. does anyone just think about PGSM 10+ years later.

Could a depressed person make this?

Dealing with a lot of financial burden and catching a mild cold, finally starting on my BSSM scrapbook was a real mood-shifter

Anyway, beyond that sadness - enjoy Sailor Moon's page!!!

The best part is, Neil is always "Let's no make this horny - we're bigger than that" - possibly unaware that he's been paired up with "Horny Always on Main" Aabria Iyengar

I actually have a word for this! "Juggle-booking" (verb): Demanding an action of someone without giving them the necessary information to do so. Derived from the 'helpful' advice of many learn-to-juggle books of "just add a third ball!" I started using it when my Dad have told me to just "ride my bike better" in order to prevent the tire popping (with no explanation of what exactly I should be doing differently, because he had not seen me ride my bike in over 5 years)

Imagine if you met someone who can't eat watermelon. Not that they're allergic or unable somehow, but they just haven't figured out how to do that. So you're like "what the hell do you mean? it works just like eating anything else, you open your mouth, sink your teeth in, take a bite and chew. If you can bite, chew and swallow, you should be able to eat a watermelon."

And they agree that yes, they do know how to eat, in theory. The problem is the watermelon. Surely, if they figured out where to start, they'd figure out how to do it, but they have no clue how to get started with it.

This goes back and forth. No, it's not an emotional issue, they're not afraid of the watermelon. They can eat any other fruit, other sweet things, and other watery things ("it's watery?" they ask you). Is it the colour? Do they have a problem eating things that are green on the outside and red on the inside?

"It's red on the inside?"

Wait, they've never seen the inside? At this point you have to ask them how, exactly, they eat the watermelon. So to demonstrate, they take a whole, round, uncut watermelon, and try to bite straight into it. Even if they could bite through the crust, there's no way to get human jaws around it.

"Oh, you're supposed to cut it first. You cut the crust open and only chew through the insides."

And they had no idea. All their life this person has had no idea how to eat a watermelon, despite of being told again and again and again that it's easy, it's ridiculous to struggle with something so simple, there's no way that someone just can't eat a watermelon, how can you even mange to be bad at something as fucking simple as eating watermelon.

If someone can't do something after being repeatedly told to "just do it", there might be some key component missing that one side has no idea about, and the other side assumed was so obvious it goes without mention.

I found where it is!~

Using the Wayback Machine there used to be a site called "Kirari-PGSM" that had both a fuku breakdown and a comparison across media!~~

You seem like you've been around the Sailor Moon block for a while - do you remember a site that had outfit analysis of the Senshi and comparisons between the manga and the PGSM fukus???

That sounds really familiar but I may just be confusing it for another outfit analysis page/site.

I did actually find this blog that has analysis of the Senshi's fuku, including PGSM. Is this it?

MY TIME HAS ARRIVED!!

Growing up I had 4 books of the "Golden Fairy Tale Collection" series and the art (by Piero Catteno) IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!

And it may not have been the best (being a niche book, I haven't heard anything bad, but I was also 6 and no-internet), but it did include stories from around the world. I was introduced to the Story of "Empress Jokwa" (also known as the Goddess Nuwa) and loved her forever~~

If you find any book in the collection at a used book store SNATCH IT UP I RECOMMEND THE ART SO MUCH!!!

do you ever just remember a specific edition of your favorite fairy tale and cry over how beautiful the illustrations are because i do anyways mercer mayer batb illustrations my beloved

*ahe-he-hem*

in a muppets phantom of the opera obviously erik is the one human actor and miss piggy seems like the obvious choice for christine and then kermit as raoul so he can be somewhat protagonist but if miss piggy were christine none of the plot would happen because she’d just fucking deck erik so she has to be carlotta and then kermit as one of the theater owners. there’s gotta be at least one other female muppet they can use as christine im just blanking on one rn and worst case they can make a new puppet. all the people erik kills are just gonzo multiple times because he won’t die but nobody notices because he wears a different hat every time. statler and waldorf are just themselves or maybe the previous theater owners but instead of selling the theater bc theyre scared of erik they just decided to retire so they can be full time hecklers

i helped a theatre tech friend in college when they were putting on "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." My job was to do audio cues. 'pparently, Stage Manager didn't know that adults in Charlie Brown are just trombone noises. I got called "Wa-Wa" for a whole week.

From this post and this one I read before it and a conversation I had with friends where a tool to un-spook yourself is to remember that you still have to pay taxes.... I'm coming to think that the answer to terror is paying money. I don't know how I feel about that

You ever think supernatural creatures that consider humans potential prey have that "cat chases a bear up a tree"-thing? Like how bears, being an apex predator, have no concept of something that's sufficiently prey-sized deciding to attack instead of fleeing, and cats have no awareness of the fact that they can die. So every once in a while a cat and a bear come face to face in the wild for the first time. A bear doesn't understand what this creature is that isn't trying to flee, and starts sniffing. A cat doesn't understand what this creature is and decides to slap it. Utterly baffled, the bear decides it's best to get out of here. The cat starts chasing because obviously anything that flees is prey.

Imagine having an Entity in your home that eats creatures like you, but has never caught a human before. It doesn't understand why this prey isn't trying to escape, the human is clearly unnerved by sensing A Presence but still keeps stubbornly sitting on the couch watching TV. The Entity moves a piece of furniture, making an eerie creaking noise, planning to raise terror in its prey as a way of playing with its food. But instead of even turning to look towards the source of the sound, the human just yells into the empty house:

"WHATEVER THE FUCK JUST MADE THAT NOISE HAD BETTER FUCK OFF, OR START PAYING RENT."

The Entiry freezes in place, and decides that whatever is going on, it's not worth the risk to find out. Better leave while it still can.
