HEY HEY HEY! GUESS WHO’S BACK?!

I apologise for the LONG hiatus but both Gee and I have been EXTREMELY busy growing up (we both had major changes in life that made us drastically change our habits), and logging on this account was probably, for the both of us, not really an option (since we didn’t have time).

I am now back, I have ideas and I am ready to be a presence on this blog, as I should’ve been these past months.  I am deepy sorry we disappeared, but sometimes that’s how life goes! I hope you are all ok, and I can’t wait to share with you new stories! See you soon!! I have the honour to be,

Your obedient servant.

I’m glad I don’t have to do a job interview because I could actually start singing Broadway shows off key because I can’t sing.

Though we’ve already seen Daveed Diggs on both ABC’s black-ish and Netflix’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt since he left Broadway’s Hamilton last year, the first project he filmed after leaving was actually Wonder, the adaptation of R.J. Palacio’s best-selling book.

And, just like with his dual roles in Hamilton, which Diggs scored without an audition (he was in a freestyle rap group with Hamilton director Tommy Kail and a little nobody named Lin-Manuel Miranda), Diggs also got the part of Wonder in a slightly unconventional way. “There was no time for me to tape or audition or anything — they needed to cast the thing!” he recalls. So, on a bright, sunny day in the summer of 2016, during his last week on Broadway, Diggs took a Skype call with Wonder director Stephen Chbosky from the roof of the Richard Rodgers theater.

“We had this great conversation, and they decided they would cast me,” Diggs explains. “I had read the screenplay, and it was great. It was so sweet but it wasn’t saccharine at all. It felt so good: The way the kids were written was so good, so honest. I was excited to be around it.”

What happened next was a whirlwind: He finished Hamilton on a Friday, took an early morning train to Washington, D.C. to co-host the Youth Speaks National Poetry Slam on Saturday, then hopped on a 5 a.m. flight to Vancouver to start shooting Wonder alongside such illustrious costars as Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson. “Then I’m on set the next with Jacob Tremblay, who’s like, Laurence Olivier in a 12-year-old’s body,” he laughs. “It’s crazy!”

I’d also love to apologize for the hiatus, but lately I didn’t feel very good mentally and I just...avoided Tumblr. I’m sorry if I’m barely here, but I also started working (I work from 9am to 12.30pm, and from 6pm to 12pm) so I barely have time to look at Tumblr or socials in general! Super sorry!

I’ve been writing, but I wanna be sure it’s a good prompt, so that you guys can have a good story to read.

Now I’m going to sleep, big day Tomorrow!

Please reblog this if you’re totally cool with writing with writers who don’t feel comfortable with writing smut.

Not because they’re underage, but because they are of age and don’t really have a taste for smut or generally just are bored with it, or they mainly want to focus on other things pertaining a relationship between two characters.

As you know I’m a poet and the BARS workshop opened but I can’t apply because if I’m selected I’ll have to travel to NYC and:

1. I don’t have the money

2. I am working those months

so I am not applying. However, I wrote a poem and tweeted it to Rafa and Rafa liked it and I am digging my own hole because this shit is too embarassing BUT I AM HAPPY OF THE POEM IS PROBABLY THE BEST SO FAR SO AAAAAAAH.

Help.
