#i dont know uhhh i think i just had an epiphany

[cloudcountry]

i think i may have created way to much pressure on myself when i tell people to send stuff that theyve tagged me in that i've missed. like yes i'd love to be able to read everything you guys send me but im gone most of the day now and its just not possible anymore. it kinda makes me sad because ive probably missed out on so much because of the sheer amount of things in my mentions.

[mihai-florescu]

(..i ended up talking A Lot so please sleep and take however much time you need before looking at this since i know it’s pretty late for you..anyway!)

you mentioned earlier (and thank you for answering!!) that you had never seen a production of sweeney todd in which case i wish you couldve seen the production i went to in the summer it was really good…..i do have..some issues with the way it was adapted into a movie by tim burton, as is kind of the case unfortunately with sondheim musicals when they get adapted into movies, they tend to kind of be stripped of their charm and comedy and played almost completely straight (the into the woods movie…i wont start cause ill never shut up but its….euuuu……)

and though i think as a movie musical the burton version of sweeney todd is actually a rather good adaptation, the way the story is presented in the medium it was written for will always be the better version to me, since not all elements of theatre translate very well into film….one thing kind of apparent especially if you compare the 1982 version (which is my favourite) and the burton movie, the actors on screen have to compensate for the fact that the camera is capturing their every movement up close, so their performances have to be very restrained, and Burton focuses much more on atmosphere rather than crazy movements and gestures and facial expressions - which i think was a good decision, though it does kinda lose a bit of its i guess. original charm, since sweeney todd is Supposed to be a dark comedy, like, the theatre version is really really funny…..

uhh. I didn’t quite know where I was going with this but yeah the original ST musical is supposed to be more of a dark comedy than just. plainly dark like the burton film (though it does still keep some of comedy beats which is nice) and well some bits of the musical are supposed to be..i guess critique? or satire? one of the two of yknow the typical love story with Johanna in the role of the typical ingenue except she’s kind of lost it a bit so she’s not as “pure” as they’re supposed to be and only really “falls in love” with Anthony and decides to go off with him since it’s the only way she can see to get away from her creepy “father” who wants to marry her at 16..

anyway anyway what i meant to say was as a really really good example of epiphany and the whole 4th wall breaking, I think George Hearn is probably the best sweeney at this in my opinion since he really does just pull of the role of the cynical kind of deranged man super well (angela lansbury is great as ms lovett too she’s so funny & it’s kind of unfair to compare bonham carter to her when it’s well. Angela Lansbury…) ..there’s a recording on yt taken from the dvd version of the 1982 production which i recommend!!

uhhh… sorry for rambling so much i have a lot of thoughts about a lot things…….have a good night and sleep well!!!

Dont apologize, this was very lovely to read! Im a casual sweeney todd fan so i didnt know about the 1982 production on youtube, thank you for telling me about it! And the analysis of adapting the stage show for the screens, i love how passionate you are. I hope this doesnt sound fake, i do mean it honestly

[Does not look at the list] let's go uhhh 55%!!!!!!!! And also uuuuuhhhhhhhhh 93%!!!!!!!!!!!! For Dañarte and Char :) I hope I did not pick something horrible on accident 😌

OH BOY I LOVE LEAVING THINGS TO CHANCE!!!!!!!!!

93%. Does your character have an enemy. What is their past? Why do they hate each other?

ehehe why did this part post twice. I thought I MOVED it why did it COPY whatever wait til the end for this one LOL

55%. What is the character's favorite weather?

HMMMM i went back and forth on this one a few times. but im chewing on these prompts and discovering lore as I go... and I think Char actually likes snowy days cause he liked to go out and have snowball fights with friends... and perhapeth they remind him of his CHILDHOOD DAYS WITH CATER when they would play in the snow together :3

i dont. i dont know what toddlers look like / i chronically draw tiny guyifications of characters so i mean. i tried but u just have 2 believe me when i say this is lil babs char and caycay age 5ish LOL

Dañarte... I think would complain about the cold snow LOL [wow hes just like me fr-- dsklfjds] and he might like a sunny warm day actually. i was gonna do the opposite at first, but then i had an epiphany so i like these better 😌

93%. Does your character have an enemy. What is their past? Why do they hate each other?

ehehe. EZ. Dañarte has his weird one sided enemy feelings against his dear cousin Char. something something resentment about char beign the mainline family for whatever princely throne he's gonna take when he's older, i said once before this was cuz since i based him off hans and hans was like a younger of several brothers and he wanted something to rule, i was goin w/this, but it still kinda sounds very leona lion king teehee. whoopsie. OH WELL!!!!!!!!!

anyway char... i feel like sortakinda knows Dañarte has it out for him but is just... politely pretending not to notice LOL hes trying to be friendly so they can GET ALONG but it's harder 2 ignore when Dañarte is at his moody teen years...

Oh! Boarding house wasfuunnn. They didn’t spare the angst either, but in a fitting, more contained way ( like the show is pretty light , they did everyone;s feelings justice pretty much without it changing the tone of the show too much). i liked all the characters and their dynamics a lot. i wasn’t so sure but they showed everyone’s sides pretty well i think. especially the four ( the ones who weren’t cousins,

one was just kind of doing his thing , light and stuff and Seoul-weon i think just had simpler feelings throughout the whole thing so they didn’t need to focus on is pov that much,

plus i think them kind of keeping his “complete honesty” or whatever moments for the end was a really good way to make the last few episodes interesting)(that point in episode seven where they kind of got you guessing, i laughed on my own for a good couple of minutes thinking “imagine if he says he’s straight”)

i completely get the “epiphany night” thing, a night of coinsedences and drinking can do wonders for the heart, i agree, i dont have a problem with that at all, i

just - i think they may have overdone it a bit with a couple of the boundries stuff. Like the bathroom scene(s) were too much, that’s where i had to kind of just kind of “uhhh, ?????whatever, moving on, i guess” . the “multiple cameras before kiss” thing im afraid wasn’t a big hit here , it was fine whatever

its pretty, its fun, its maybe actually kind of comforting, like a comfort show thing, you know? They weren’t trying to be super funny, which worked, they were funny on their own, i think. acting was good and fun and fitting. dialogue and character ... like awareness, they didn’t sacrifice anyone to drama or plot, they picked up on things in a very satisfying way (the young cousin was a bit in his own world or whatever, but he doesn’t really care about them most of the time , so it made sense that he wouldn’t be paying them much attention)

yea, good , fun. and i got to kind of stabilize myself with a couple of things id been having annoying toughts with, nothing just a little too much friends(edit:the show, i, long story, anyway), little too much time spend with people who got a few stereotypes about the world that aren’t realistic i think. Comfort watch to help myself get the poison out.

really glad i watched it, and i imagine ill be thinking about it before i fall asleep tonight, all smiles and happiness and contempt

@minnyc24 // @maplelattaes // @jeonpetals // @chims-kookies // @neonjeon

[apokine]

Anna told me to do the whole thing so here we are I guess

How did you choose your name? IDK I just wanted to still have a name that wasn’t like ~weird~ but still unique 

What gives you the most dysphoria? (Acknowledging that not all trans people experience dysphoria) even tho I got my tiddies removed i still feel kinda weird abt my chest if i’m not wearing a top lol…also a weird one but lipstick

Do you have more physical dysphoria or more social dysphoria? social maybe? it’s just sort of there all the time so

What do you do to perform self-care when you’re feeling dysphoric? what i always do when im feelin down - EAT LOTS OF FOOD

What was the first time you suspected you were transgender? uhhh i think the first time i suspected it as a like TANGIBLE THOUGHT was this one time when i was out w/ friends and had to go to the bathroom and i absolutely had an epiphany in the bathroom that i wasn’t a girl hahahahaha

When did you realize you were transgender? idk how this is different from the last one and i dont rly remember when it was that i like officially stopped thinking of myself as a girl

What is your favorite part of being transgender? other trans ppl probably. stay awesome, trans peeps

How would you explain your gender identity to others? mostly genderless, but i fluctuate around

How did you come out? If you didn’t come out, why do you stay in the closet? Or what happened when you were outed? im out w/ family/friends, who all found out in diff ways i guess? some ppl i just told, i also wrote stuff on tumblr & fb about it

What have your experiences with packing or wearing breast forms been? no experience with either lol 

What are your experiences with binding or tucking? binding sucked haha i defo wore my binder way more than i should have and got that Big Back Pain so i eventually mostly stopped and then got my bops chopped off

Do you pass? nahhh (is it even possible to pass as nonbinary??? question for another day)

What (if any) steps do you want to take to medically transition? got top surgery, idk abt hormones cuz i dont see myself as transmasc and am not interested in looking Very Masculine but i would like to look Less Feminine

How long have you been out? uhhhhhhh year a half maybe???????

What labels have you used before you’ve settled on your current set? none, tho i wouldnt say i’m particularly ‘settled’ haha

Have you ever experienced transphobia? sure have

What do you do when you have to go to the bathroom in public? usually the women’s restroom, sometimes mens if it is more convenient

How does your family feel about your trans identity? mixed reviews lol, some of my family is super supportive, some of them are like “why are you doing this” etc

Would you ever go stealth, and if you are stealth, why do you choose to be stealth? i mean i guess i’m stealth at work bc i worry abt my job

What do you wish you could have shared with your younger self about being trans? i wish that younger me just knew there were options i suppose

Why do you use the pronouns you use? I use they/them bc she/he felt too gendered for me and neopronouns just sound too strange to me personally. I respect and admire anybody that uses neopronouns bc those ppl are paving the way for future generations to have more options that are normalized tho. I just can’t do it myself cuz I have a big fear of standing out which is totally at odds with like everything I wanna be lol

Do your neurodivergencies affect your gender? i dont think so but who fuckin knows

What’s your biggest trans-related fear? NOBODY’S EVER GONNA LOVE ME

What medical, social, or personal steps have you already taken to start your transition? i feel like this has already been covered by previous questions

What do you wish cis people understood? that my gender isnt anybody’s business!! who cares!! 

What impact has being trans affected your life? idk honestly. dont know where to even begin trying to measure that

What do you do to validate yourself? well sometimes i like to argue with strangers on the internet 

How do you feel about trans representation in media? i love the increasing representation in the media and it makes me very happy to see being trans normalized and validated, but obviously there still just isnt enough good representation

Who is your favorite trans celebrity? angel haze maybe

Who is the transgender person who has influenced you the most? hmmm well i think that trans people i know irl are the ones who have given me the most courage. when i see other people come out or change their name or use they/them pronouns or WHATEVER i’m like “wow if they can do it i can too”.

How are you involved with the trans community, IRL or online? i wouldnt say im really involved w the community in any way aside from just being present here on tungle dot com

How do you see yourself identifying and presenting in 5 years? pretty much the same

What trans issue are you most passionate about? affordable & accessible healthcare!!! 

What advice would you give to other trans people, or what message would you like to share with them? hey buddy i did it (am doing it?) and so can you

How do you feel your gender interacts with your race, disability, class, weight, etc. from the perspective of intersectionality? i feel like skinny white androgynous ppl are the ‘default’ nonbinary ppl which sucks. i esp feel the weight thing bc i feel like it really prevents me from being seen the way i want to be seen. on the class front, i feel fortunate that can afford surgery and whatever else i need

What, if any, is the difference between your gender identity and your gender expression? i feel like my gender expression is super feminine to other people. but to me i feel like my expression is pretty much aligned w/ my identity  

Do you feel more masculine, feminine, or neither? neither

What is your sexual and romantic orientation, and what are your thoughts on it? sexual - idk i think i need somebody to figure it out and tell me. don’t really feel like labeling it right now, but sex is just not big for me. romantic - panromantic cuz i just like everybody. somehow much easier to figure out than my sexual orientation

Is your ideal partner also trans, or do you not have a preference? no preference tho if theyre cis they better not be a douchebag about it

How did/do you manage waiting to transition? honestly i’m a huge procrastinator LOLLL. as long as i keep telling myself ‘haha yeah it’ll happen eventually’ i’m just like ‘cool so i dont have to do it NOW…’ as long as i have the knowledge that it WILL happen im like..i can wait. If I think abt the possibility that it might not happen I freak the fuck out…for a bit I thought it might not be possible for me to get top surgery (due to medical issues) and I was in panic mode.

What is the place (blog, website, forum, IRL space) you get most of your info on being trans or on trans related things? idk i guess i learned a lot on tumbles

Do you interact with other trans people IRL? not super often, i mostly know trans ppl that are just like acquaintances or casual friends. our interaction is limited to liking each others instagram or facebook posts lol

Are you involved in any trans-related activism? nah tho i think it’d be cool
