…for keeping me up-to-date on how to interact with younger folks.

i recently started taking on students from my friend’s music school and i got a new student today. because of tumblr, i noticed a few things that lead me to suspect that this student probably isn’t cis. so, i instigated this conversation:

me: do you prefer to go by [feminine name] or [gender neutral shortening of name]?

student: i go by [gender neutral shortening]…and uhh my friends call me [masculine name that bears no resemblance to deadname], it’s just like—

me: i can call you [masculine name]

student: yeah, but if you call me [masc name], then [my friend, the head of the school] won’t know who you’re talking about…

me: i can use [deadname] with [my friend], and use [masc name] with you

student: really?!? yeah, cool!

at the end of the lesson, i said, “see you next time, [masc name]” and the smile i got in return?? priceless.

No one:

Me, every single time the lights go out: oye qué pasó blackout blackout vino el apagón ay dios

Cats did not deserve “Memory.”

If Nobody Loves You had a cast album, I bet it would have at least a small Tumblr fandom

Exciting Announcement

So I made a really random post about the concept of a Whump Musical the other day, because I’m an extremely passionate theatre nerd that misses theatre and stage managing more than anything. I was messaged by @timefliesinadream though who brought forth some really cool ideas and you know what, it’s completely doable and sounds like a fun project!

So here’s the idea, we’re gonna need some writers, musicians, singers, choreographers and so on. You don’t have to be advanced, if you want to help out, please feel free to! The goal is to take some iconic whump tropes and create storyline and then write some music and choreography to create a show that can be done over Discord. Details will be figured out over the course of the project and I’ll be creating a separate blog for updated that I will link to once that’s up. If you want to help out or be involved though in any way, please message me! 🥰

Ratatouille the Musical was a thing so like, why can’t this be a thing you know?

I know that there is a lot of Tony Award salt about “*insert show* was robbed!”, but let us not forget that they didn’t make the stage accessible for Ali Stroker and made her wait backstage instead of, I don’t know, putting in a ramp for her. That is where the real anger should be directed.

New musical dropped

One time someone said to me “you shouldn’t say anything bad about any musical because that’s someone’s favorite show. Maybe it’s the show that made them interested in theatre.” And every day since I’ve thought about how that makes like top 5 dumbest things I’ve ever heard. Then I started seeing people saying that on the internet and basically I made this blog because I’m so tired of being nice about things I think are bad. If I think it’s a shitty musical I will say so and I think its dumb to have a problem with that. The response in real life is usually “lmao yeah that show sucks” but on here it’s “why can’t you just let people enjoy things?”

If my opinion stops you from enjoying your favorite musical, it’s not my problem thanks.

i bet whizzer brown likes pizza

we did a random quiz thing in one of my classes and one of the questions was favorite music genre. the teacher actually included musicals BECAUSE OF ME and i announced to the rest of the class that whoever else put musicals would be my new best friend then no one else put musicals :’(
