Me, listening to The Lightning Thief and BMC in 2024: lol Joe Tracz, why do you use the adjective "killer" to mean "cool" that's such weird fake Teen Speak, no one ever says or said that
Me, 2024, reading Facebook memories of things I said in the late 2000s: ........well I'll be damned
Honestly? My main piece of advice for writing well-rounded characters is to make them a little bit lame. No real living person is 100% cool and suave 100% of the time. Everyone's a little awkward sometimes, or gets too excited about something goofy, or has a silly fear, or laughs about stupid things. Being a bit of a loser is an incurable part of the human condition. Utilize that in your writing.
The Bathroom was a key invention in neurodivergent rights. Sorry I hate it here I need to exit the situation for several minutes and you can't tell me not to on the off chance that I actually have to piss. It's genius. Everyone say thank you bathroom for everything she's done for us
For all of you following along at home with the gripping drama, it went well!
As I should have guessed for The Lightning Thief, the average (mode) auditioner age was probably about 14, which works for the character ages! Apparently only one other adult auditioned yesterday, so I might end up having some luck to be like various adults/villains in the ensemble!
Sang the last section of Loser Geek Whatever and didn't fuck up any notes! Held the last high one about a half second shorter than I'd have liked but all in all not too bad
So this is just becoming my theater sideblog in general but this is BMC related at least
There are auditions for The Lightning Thief at a theater nearby that I am thinking I will go for; the instructions are to prepare a song from or in the style of the show
I googled suggested Lightning Thief audition pieces and what to my wondering eyes appeared....
....in short I do not really have time to learn a song from the show in 2 days what with work etc but I can do the last 32 bars from Loser Geek Whatever just fine so I'm going with that, I think
