some snaps from last night at the watermill theatre - i mean the shire. i mean... maybe the best production i've been to in my life??? certainly the most wonderful time i've had at the theatre in a good long while.

photos 1 & 2 - signage directing us toward bilbo's birthday party, and then his birthday banner.

3 & 4 hobbits start the party with some lawn games. they had a ring toss though that was not near us - folarin akinmade as a hobbit brought over that ball on string for us to all try, picture 4 is my brother attempting. (none of us succeeded)

5 - springle ring! i have much more to say but for now - wonderful.

6 - after bilbo's birthday we're ushered inside, here's a little look at the set as you enter.

7 & 8 - post show snaps. the little envelope of wildflower seeds we were each given on our way out to help regrow the shire. then me and my party in the lovely willow ring. i was still actively blubbering at this point.

proper thoughts and feelings later! just need to get a basic - "this was so wonderful! so very wonderful!" post out there.

bonus terrible pic under the cut that my bf took of louis maskell standing behind me while i look dazed and pleased as i take in the merriment.

No but who let Lorde make melodrama? Like greenlight? Liability? Supercut? Writer in the dark? The lovere? Homemade dynamite? Perfect places? Hard Feelings? Loveless? Sober?

I think that the 2010's media landscape of Buzzfeed articles about plotholes in disney movies, Cinemasins critiques, and Watchmojo Top Ten scenes in movies that make no sense has truely ruined a lot of media. People are afraid that their work will be torn down if they dare leave a single thing up in the air, if they dare ask their audience to suspend their disbelief.

All too often nowadays I see stories (especially fantasy), take the time to explain how every small aspect of the world works and how it all logically makes sense. The constant time stopped to explain why an event happened, how this object works, or why this is important to the characters. It's just really not needed and it honestly makes a lot of stories worse.

I am of the opinion that the best stories truly just drop you into their world and explain nothing. They just take you through the story of this world and you just have to accept it and continue on. "When he became king, the land became barren." I don't want the story to stop and explain why this is, or how it happened, I want us to move on so we can just assume that the king has such rancid vibes that everything died.

in my head i play a supercut of us

[divno]

melodrama is for the people who don't mean half the things they say. melodrama is for the people who pluck their eye makeup out of their lashes the morning after. it is for the ones who get the urge to cut off the people they love, for the people who secretly think their friends are full of shit. melodrama is for the people who love for the thrill of it and romanticize the high. melodrama is for the people who don't have any tangible problems but blow up everything in their minds, the ones who feel their problems are invalid. melodrama is for the ones who hate being called dramatic. it is for the ones who don't have talent because they are never the best, who want to grow but are scared of aging, who relate to everyone but still feel lonely.

melodrama is for the ones who are insecure about their anger. melodrama is for the ones who aren't good enough for their friends. it is for the hypocrites, the ones who value reciprocation but aren't good with affection. melodrama is for the easily distracted, the ones in denial. it is for the ones who don't feel their lives revolving around them, for the ones who recognize "home" but have never had one. it is for the ones who want to feel like themselves again. melodrama strikes the dangerous balance; it is for the cynics, the romantics, the stable, the unhinged, the dramatics, the detached, the self-centered, self-loathing, the selfish and selfless, the undefinable. melodrama is for the constellations of contradictions.
