#everything about this staging is perfect

earlier this week i made a post about how hartford stage’s 1991 production of falsettos ended with whizzer on the aids memorial quilt. i’ve actually managed to find the clip of the scene itself and it’s beautiful

Normal about the fact that in rgu there's no blood shown in any scene no matter how severe the injury is except for the time Juri bit Ruka

There are probably one hundred moments in the new Camelot that I'm sad I will never get to see again and lots of people won't get to see at all because it's so funny and dramatic and the cast is amazing. And specifically there is so much peak romance and tragedy in Arthur and Guenevere's final scene. But the thing that will live in my head forever and ever, that according to my friend made me shake so hard with laughter that she could feel it next to me is this exchange (butchered by my bad memory, sorry Mr. Sorkin):

Arthur: Merlyn never taught me how to handle a woman.

Guenevere: You mean you haven't read the book?

Arthur (with the most excitement he has expressed for literally anything besides a bird and maybe to Merlyn about Genny after they first meet): There's a book? (And then like every gullible kid who looked up at the ceiling and then got taunted with made you look) No I can see on your face there's not. But maybe in France, no I can still see there's no book.

Like honestly king of romance. That moment, telling your wife you see her as a business partner, telling her you love her for what it's worth because you thought she might want to know but you aren't sure right before you go to war over her... banger after banger.

Princess Tutu had a surprisingly great ending. It's almost cathartic for a story that's about stories and endings to stories to have a pretty good ending itself.

wizard of oz: women are people and children are people and a little girl can be brave and determined and save so many people if you just respect them for the person that they are!! she has three adults on the adventure with her and when they all get captured and beaten and trapped she's the one to save them, because she's resourceful and talented and strong in her own right wizard of oz (MOVIE): be grateful for what you have girls lmao dorothy only killed the witch by accident while all of the real people were standing nearby. also it wasn't even real. also it was all her punishment for not wanting some random lady to take away her dog, serves her right for running away lmao

what would you do to fix kep1er? idk if you c a r e about kepler but, thats pert of the problem,,, no one cares about kepler all that much? what went wrong? there are countless video essays explaining how the concept isnt well thought out. the music is lackluster. the other produce groups have become so popular that kepler is pushed aside. personally, i dont even think all the members fit the concept that well.

there are two kepler songs that i like, and those are mvsk and le voyage, so i would not classify myself as actually caring about them, but it is an interesting thought experiment! i know pretty much nothing about them, including on whatever their concept is, but that doesn't really factor into how to fix them, because the best way to fix them is to 1) kick the minors, 2) actually train them properly, 3) reassemble the group with proper attention paid to talent distribution. "concept" is not actually a dependable thing that will draw people to a group, you need to back that up with BOTH tangible skills and - this is extremely important - people that actually know how to work in a group together. concept is a set dressing that is meant to hook people, but it doesn't keep people, what actually keeps fans is a combination of personality and ability. and composition and teamwork are very important to help establish that. survival shows in general are not built to make groups that have good composition; how on earth do you expect a cohesive group to be made of kids who are literally fighting each other for popularity points??? you think fans understand how to assemble a balanced kpop group????? survival shows are basically an extended training period, and when you make the goal of that training period trying to catch the attention of fans as an individual and not actually forming a solid understanding of how to perform IN a group, you are going to make groups that sure, they have very popular individual members, but they have no depth or flavour as a whole because they don't know how to.

not to gas up tan or wild idol again BUT if you want an example of how to make a survival show that actually builds a cohesive group, it's literally right there. limit intake trainee size, have them do challenges that are focused on teamwork, leadership, and practical skills idols have to be able to do, and also cut down the trainees fast so there's a smaller group that spends more time together. wild idol cut the entire 45 trainee group down to 16 in the THIRD episode, so that in the rest of the episodes they could actually focus on building the working relationships between the trainees and not have them constantly fighting over popularity. and also, perhaps even the most important point: LIMITED FAN VOTING. the fan voting was a very small percentage of their final score, so each of the members that made it into the group actually made it via being judged on their merits. when a group is made of popularity contest members and only on a short term contract, they don't have any incentive or ability to actually try and truly form a group.

What do you think about rory comparing herself to MLK when she gets sentenced? I was already starting to see the changes and the character and while I didn’t like them, I was still rooting for her because I could see she was lost and hurting. But that line was just the nail in the coffin for me, because it really showed how privileged and entitled she is. She’s had a lot of things handed to her easily thanks to her grandparents, and that’s not her fault, but she really grew to expect to be fawned over and for things to be easy. She just grew up into this unrecognizable toddler of an adult and completely lost her drive and ambition it seems. Idk I loved rory pre-yale, and the writers butchered her post hs

Okay I’m not expecting anyone who follows me here to care about league but DRX had a fucking Cinderella run this season it’s literally insane

i want to make a skeleton orchestra gif set because im in love with everything about that song...

the composition, the instrumentation, the lyrics, how that all fits with the visuals and the choreography and that module, christ, i love everything about that design and the physics on the module are so cool to watch too- her bouncing skirt & ruffles & ribbon & hair + the lace in her hair- the stage, and, of course, the skeletons

you can actually tell a ton of interesting stories about your extremely boring small town, or job, or you, or whatever, you just need to create enough conceptual distance between yourself and the Thing to give yourself the perspective.

this will happen naturally through time as you gather enough concepts to arrange between yourself and the Thing, this is just how you make sense of life events in general. you do get to choose the concepts.

but a lot of people also choose to make art or music or standup or some other type of performance about it, and arrange those concepts in specific patterns, and sometimes they show them to other people.

and that's how Three Days Grace (the band) happens :)

That being said this is the superior odd eye stage. No I'm not taking constructive criticism. Thanks.
