If I had a nickel for every sarcastic composer character that was portrayed by an actor who was later in the Falsettos 2016 revival, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot. But it's weird that it happened twice.

oh. oh shit. in the dressing room scene before stairway to paradise. when adam is yelling about how lise deserves "real passion" and "real happiness" henri gets so defensive and says "i don't know what you're implying but if y-" before adam cuts him off again.

and like. oh yeah. henri's incredibly fucken insecure about his queerness. the implication that he can't provide lise with real love is a threat on his supposed heterosexuality. that's his internalized homophobia acting out. no wonder he gets insecure at that. ouhg. oh god.

Alberta opted out of the federal Temporary Public Policy for work permits in 2025 to focus on provincial economic priorities.

Media Obessions in Review 2024!

(2023 obsessions in review post from last year)

Tom Hiddleston

Coming off my Loki obsession at the end of last year, I quested to watch Tom Hiddleston’s entire filmography. I’ve nearly accomplished it! My Hiddleston Cheat Chart (below) is one of my proudest creations. (Original post) If everyone only watches one Tom Hiddleston movie, I highly recommend Only Lovers Left Alive.

Loki: Where Mischief Lies

Yeah, okay, I really like Loki. And I really like it when he goes on a gay little adventure to 1890’s London. My first introduction to a book fandom on Tumblr! I really love that every month or so, I get a flurry of likes on my posts about this book as people get around to reading it. Book fandom seems a lot less fleeting than a lot of TV fandom (more on that later, when I find much longer books to obsess over).

Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel

This one sort of ran underneath a lot of other obsessions, and also Loser, Baby has been stuck in my head since February.

An American In Paris

The musical is from 2015! No one on Tumblr is talking about it! I did not let that stop me! Adam Hochberg deserved a happy ending so badly I was motivated to write fan fiction for the first time in over a year.

And finally…

The Stormlight Archive

I got into this book series at the end of June and I haven’t looked back. Part of that is because it’s taken me most of the last six months to read all the books, but the other part of that is because Stormlight Archive Tumblr is so much FUN! I have mutuals now! I wrote a fan fiction! I’m having a blast! We’ll see where hyperfixation brain decides to point me in 2025, but I get the feeling I might be here a while.

Thank you to all you weirdos in my computer who made my 2024 on the internet a fun time!

[prismartist]

yeah no okay i need to sleep but i also more importantly need to talk about stairway to paradise. literally what the hell is that about. chris wheeldon must've known how queer that number is right?? right????

i mean, the beats are like so:

first: henri struggles with his performance. though he loves dancing he's nervous, he's cracking, he has the stage presence of a newborn deer. he approaches adam for help, and the moment adam encourages him... he's able to bring his fantasy to life.

second: about a fourth into the performance/fantasy, suddenly adam shows up to dance with him. not his ballerina fiancee. adam. his other half, if you will, in the song-and-dance duo. henri briefly questions it, they have cute banter, and then.

and then they have a marvelous goddamn time.

third: adam and henri fall into rhythm as if they'd been doing this for years. they take turns on the verses, on the dance... and they dance together in sync, joyous and unrestrained. henri's certainly enjoying himself. he's living his ultimate dream, the vision that he's striving for all his life. which... just so happens to have adam in it. nothing quee- i mean strange about that at all. just guys being dudes. having your best friend be in your dream fantasy. sure.

fourth: he kicks adam out eventually, because of course, and henri's free to finish on his own terms, carrying that levity into real life and ending strong. he slayed. he was fantastic. he even managed to convince his parents to support him. he was finally his true self.

what a nice fun number. so nice, in fact, that the show then does the same thing again! but this time, it's with JERRY AND LISE.

you know, the main romantic couple of the show???

an american in paris goes like this: lise is agitated about performing, stating that there's no real passion when she dances. even though she loves dancing, there's just something missing. when the ballet starts, about a third into it jerry appears. she briefly questions it, and then they fall into rhythm like they've always done by the seine. lise feels that passion again, and after jerry leaves and the fantasy ends, she's able to finish strong and absolutely slay the performance, finding her true self... and her true desires.

SOUND FAMILIAR???.

the fact that these two numbers are back-to-back as well?????? like we're supposed to see those parallels right?? i'm not going insane??? ignore the fact that it's 3 am.

to be fair i've thought about this for years but the details finally hit me and i'm just. dude. yall see my vision? stairway to paradise is to henri as american in paris is to lise. and so it follows, then, that jerry is to lise as adam is to henri.

god how are they literally so gay without being that gay at all. i am taking this show by the collar and shaking it. what did you meaaaannnn by this i swear to god!!!!!!!!!!!

Immigrate to Canada through Alberta PNP A Fast-Track Route to Canadian Permanent Residency

Are you a skilled worker, graduate, or entrepreneur planning to settle in Canada? Alberta, one of Canada’s most prosperous and dynamic provinces, offers excellent immigration pathways through the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP). Whether you're aiming for better career prospects, a high standard of living, or a family-friendly environment, Alberta has it all.

The AAIP allows Alberta to nominate individuals who can help fill labor gaps, contribute to economic growth, and settle successfully in the province. This makes Alberta one of the top choices for immigrants seeking permanent residency (PR) in Canada.

What is the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP)?

Formerly known as the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP), the AAIP is Alberta’s Provincial Nominee Program that selects qualified individuals for nomination for Canadian PR. The program is known for its streamlined processes, frequent invitation rounds, and preference for candidates already in the Express Entry pool.

Major Streams under AAIP

1. Alberta Express Entry Stream

For candidates already in the federal Express Entry system with a strong Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. Alberta selects candidates who have ties to the province or are working in occupations that support its economic development.

2. Alberta Opportunity Stream

For temporary foreign workers already living and working in Alberta. Applicants must have a valid work permit and be employed in an eligible occupation.

3. Rural Renewal and Entrepreneur Streams

For individuals planning to start businesses or settle in rural Alberta communities. These streams support economic growth outside major cities.

4. Graduate Entrepreneur Stream

For international graduates from Alberta post-secondary institutions who wish to launch a business in the province.

5. Foreign Graduate Entrepreneur Stream

For foreign-educated entrepreneurs with a business plan to establish and operate an innovative business in Alberta.

Why Immigrate to Alberta?

Robust Job Market: Opportunities in sectors like oil & gas, construction, healthcare, agriculture, and IT.

Affordable Living: Lower cost of living compared to many other Canadian provinces.

Family-Oriented: Top-quality healthcare, schools, and community services.
