If you take a gif from my blog to make it your tumblr header image, the least you could do is give credit!! I don’t love having to message ppl asking for this when I see it happen, and I’ve seen it a bunch recently. Thank you!!

Jules Jean-Baptiste Dehaussy (1812-1891, French) ~ Portrait d'une Jeune Fille
It's been years since I was cast in a show. Years. Pre-covid. I've had like 2.5 years of auditions, callbacks, getting so tantalisingly close I can taste it, and being told "you're perfect! you're wonderful! your voice is amazing! your acting is amazing! we love your personality! but it's a no". After like 20 auditions in a row, and 15 callbacks where I don't feel like they're even looking at me; feeling uncastable, like i don't have the magic any more, that I simply don't belong on stage any more and should read the room & pack it in; feeling completely disillusioned with the whole theatre community in all its toxicity; I can't believe that I just got cast in a dream role, in a dream show!!! and playing a teenager no less, after I've been told by countless panels that I look older than I am, can't play younger, and that I'm too old for *this exact role* Lmaoooo 🤣 the biggest possible "fuck you" to the haters. Can't bloody wait to do it again. Fuck. It's exciting.

Classic film friends! I used to be a member of ILoveClassics back in the day, but they closed down a few years ago. I’ve tried to search for anything similar - looks like RetroFlix, SecretCinema, CinemaZ, etc have replaced ILC? Does anyone have a membership and would care to invite me to any of these? :) Or if you know of anything else, I’d be really grateful. Thanks!
I was able to join CinemaZ. Cheers. c:
