how it feels to be in class when you do community theatre:

May I propose an underrated whump injury? Dislocated patella aka kneecap. The dislocated shoulder is a staple and always good, but imagine the dislocated kneecap. It pops back in on its own, but the pain is still there, the ligaments damaged. You almost always get a bone bruise, a deep, aching pain. You CAN walk, mostly, but it hurts, running even more so. Stairs, going from sitting to standing, any heavy lifting, all a no go and very painful. Beyond pain, there's the instability that makes every movement anxiety inducing, because it could happen again, and something could tear worse, or the bruise could become a break. If you don't have hyper flexible ligaments the joint will swell terribly. If you do, it can be a recurring issue. Recovery is slow, including weeks to months of PT and possibly surgery. It has great potential.

Totally unrelated, I brought the big dance number in my show to a screeching halt during final tech by dislocating my patella. I now need a buddy to half haul me down the stairs to the dressing rooms and through half the dances. It is my second time dislocating this same patella (many years apart) and it is extremely annoying. If anybody wants to write this injury into a story, ask away, just know I don't have experience with the knee swelling symptom because I possess freakish hyper flexible ligaments.

Theater kid culture is eating dinner at 4:30

the week after tech week is just an endless saga of finding mic tape literally everywhere

Tech week means doing ever feasible thing I can do to keep my immune system running while cramming assignments and running on minimal sleep
