Tomoya: (to the camera) Asking my twin sister if she's ever going to get married!

Tomoya: (to Shion) So, do you ever wanna get married?

Shion: No???

Tomoya: Why?

Shion: Because you're my brother!

Tomoya: NOT TO ME, WEIRDO! I'm talking about marrying somebody else!

Shion: No!

Tomoya: Why?

Shion: (dissonantly smiling) Because you remember Mom and Dad getting married before getting a divorce? Haha! Good times!

Question: Do you have any personal predictions for who could be casted into West End's Ride the Cyclone production?

(Personally, I was thinking Ed Larkin as Ricky, or any other disabled actor.)

Idea: A Despair Time Musical, in the vein of the Ithaca SDR2 Musical.

[fatherfigurefusion]

Be me and have several alternative designs for my mental RTC cast (black Constance vs. white Constance, bear Noel vs. twink Noel, blonde Mischa vs. ravenette Mischa), before I had an epiphany.

Turning my alternate designs into an ensemble cast (understudy cast) of the cut characters (Hank, Astrid, Corey, and Trishna), much like Roguish Players or Theatre South Playhouse!

Astrid - Ocean Understudy

Hank - Noel/Ricky Understudy

Corey - Misha Understudy

Trishna - Constance/Jane Understudy

(As of now, I only have solid designs for Ricky, Ocean, and Jane/Penny. The others, I'm still divisive on.)

Put Teruko Tawaki and Towa Sumiko in a room together, and everything is going to end up either broken or on fire.

And that's before they end up fighting each other.

We've all heard about Misha and Ricky being compared to Gumball and Darwin, but I raise you...

Misha and Ricky as Hunter and Luz, respectively!

Dorky yet loyal "looks like he could kill you, is actually a cinnamon roll" dude with family issues becomes the sibling figure to imaginative neurodivergent boygirlthing!

Finally got to see "Ride the Cyclone" at Revolutionary Voices Theatre/Burning Coal Theatre Company/Pure Life Theatre/why are there so many names for this theatre?

Some of my favorite or otherwise noteworthy parts of this production!

Both Ocean and Noel have the same short black hairstyle. I talked to their actors about them being identical twins in an AU (intentionally dressing androgynously to trick people), and they LOVED that idea!

Ricky, no exaggeration, looks exactly like how I otherwise imagined Ricky (short height, Alphys posture, wavy shoulder-length light brown hair), minus the hat and glasses!

Misha has this giant puffy Jewfro and he ties his necktie around his head. And Constance has only the most adorable little dreadlock pigtails!

Their Jane looks almost exactly like Emily Rohm's Jane, but with a higher voice more like Ashlyn Maddox! She also plays Virgil!

Karnak has a spiffy top hat and a space-themed suit, which I like very very much! I complimented the actor on his suit, which he took in stride!

Speaking of which, Karnak's voice and performance was very deep yet human and DEEPLY sarcastic yet stoic at the same time.

"Karnak's Dream of Life" started with Jane stomping out of the entrance doors and stepping onto the center stage, before singing.

When the kids boarded the Cyclone, Ocean and Constance were in the front, followed by Noel and Ricky in the center, and Misha in the back.

They each had different sound effects for their introductory poses. Ocean's was the standard triumphant trumpets, Constance's was a sad trombone, Noel's was a romantic trumpet tune, Misha's was a snippet of a hip-hop beat, and Ricky's was a chiptune "level-up" sound effect.

Ricky also does the splits after gaining their heightened abilities!

Misha shoves Ocean off the Scully box, in order to complain to Karnak about the wi-fi!

Constance and Ocean have this fully-memorized secret handshake during the U-Pop skit!

According to her acted-out backstory, Ocean actually got an autograph from "Up with People"!

Ocean simultaneously has energetic girlypop and stressed out soccer mom energy and I love her for it!

Misha visibly SPAT into Ocean's face, after their "I Love You Guys" segment.

I love love LOVED the "Noel's Lament"! He had this patterned shawl over his black lingerie! He was thrown to the ground several times in the song! He reminded me SO MUCH of Beck's "Noel's Lament", which was one of my favorites choreography-wise!

Someone in the audience said "Yes!" in response to "Is everyone's song gonna have profanity in the chorus?".

RICKY AND MISHA PLAYING ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS DURING "EVERY STORY'S GOT A LESSON"! THEY ARE THE SIBLINGS OF ALL TIME!

(When I told both of their actors about this scene, they were surprised that I even noticed it, and they wanted to put in extra little moments in the show!)

Misha does a high kick during his Rupaul's Drag Race line!

Misha's acted-out backstory has him physically shoved by his "father" into the basement! He started to do pushups out of pure RAGE!

This is a Misha that is filled with rage and just emotion in general! His whole face is perpetually pink, and he shows open disgust to things like the Iron Maiden t-shirt and anything to do with Ocean! Both "TSIA" and "Talia" remain ON TOP!

(When I complimented his performance, the actor fistbumped me!)

Ricky pelvis-thrusts his way to Noel during his "Harder, longer, wider, wetter~" bit, and Noel blocks himself with Ocean, following by Ricky kissing Ocean's hand.

Throughout the entirety of "Space Age Bachelor Man", Ricky makes these BIG gestures throughout the whole song, being REALLY excited to tell their story!

Much like with the University of Austin, Noel and Mischa brought out this long white tarp for Ricky to change behind, and throughout the meowing break, his clothes flew all around the stage.

The Bachelor Man outfit! It was this sparkly rainbow leotard, with tall white Go-Go boots and black cat ears!

Misha bowed down to Ricky when he called them "Space Jesus", before Ricky put his hand on Noel's shoulder to tell him "No. It was the Silver Surfer!"

The Ballad of Jane Doe! I'm always a fan of higher Jane vocals, and I especially love how she's played as this very-terrified outsider, and the end (in which she gets an extra-long high note and finishes by screaming and shielding her head with her arms) gives more credence to the "Jane gets her head crushed by a fallen piece of the Cyclone, while she was standing outside of it".

During the New Birthday Song, Ocean was struggling to come up with lyrics, with the other kids gesturing for her to go on, and awkwardly suggesting the next parts of the song!

Although the "Savannah with the greenest eyes" bit, went a bit too fast for my liking, my Spacedolls heart could only swell at the interactions between the two!

Ocean bear hugs Constance when she says "My death has really affected me!", to which Constance can only pathetically pat her back.

The punch to Ocean's boob was more of a shove, but it still gets the job done to both boobs!

Jawbreaker.

OH MY GOD JAWBREAKER!

Constance's higher vocals and sitting criss-cross on the floor really sells the audience on the fact that she was just a kid feeling this way about herself, her town, and the people around her, cycling between sardonic remembrance, anger, sadness, and finally, joy and cheer around the end!

And Sugar Cloud is equally as amazing!

A contender for one of my FAVORITE CONSTANCES!

After Sugar Cloud, Ocean hugs Constance and whispers an apology to her, which Constance only smile and whisper back "It's okay!".

I NORMALLY DON"T SHIP BLACKROSE BUT I AM PHYSICALLY WEEPING!

The scene where Ocean chooses Jane is so heartwarming!

Everybody was just uncontrollably laughing during "It's Just a Ride", which is just how I love it! Full of joy and whimsy!

Unfortunately, they do use the new script (in spite of Ricky having crutches during Uranium Suite) and I suspect that they used AI for the background projections. But I otherwise still adored this production and every single cast member behind them!

Me remembering that I have these two tier lists!

If you ever want to voice act or otherwise work in a Project SEKAI/Ride the Cyclone AU, then this server is the place to be!

We're still looking for voice actors for Airi, Tsukasa (who I'm currently auditioning for), Akito, and Rui!

The main difference between Teruko and Damon in their approaches to trusting others in Chapter 1, is that Teruko actually made the conscious effort to give this whole "trusting others" thing a try (which only made Xander's backstabbing hurt even more).

Damon, on the other hand, continued to preach about the dangers of trusting others, while unconsciously letting people like Eva into his heart almost instantly, like the fake IDGAFer we all know him to be.
