Would you ever consider playing Gartic Phone w some followers? You seem like the kind of person I'd like to hang out with at least once. I'd understand for privacy reasons if you don't do that kinda thing though ❤️

ive been toying with the idea of a temporary discord server that will exist for like 5 hours during which i will be hanging out in vc/stage and streaming to twitch or sth like that, might be silly as long as we can keep it mildly moderated

I was for years, then I was usually called "if 'he' applied himself" and then I was "a pleasure to have in class" again, either a written note wondering why my previous teacher warned them about me.

So if I ever tell you that I was a pleasure to have in class, just so you know, that is both completely true and also utterly false.

If you are able to help me I’m in Canada and the only thing available here is PayPal and e-transfer, we don’t have any cash apps available. Thank you for considering me. 🙏

If you prefer to not use PayPal I have e transfer set up. It works like a cash App. Works the same way as it would to make a purchase on line, you log in to your bank and send the amount you choose and it will automatically deposit.

it would be catastrophic but consider the comedic potential

Coward.

My friend's kid gave me pinkeye and I have been on a particularly fuckt up sleep schedule about it and dreamed an entire Italian Opera on the themes of heaven and hell and the power of love and recognition of the self in other and the tragedy of loving the idea of something rather than the thing itself and the dream ended with the phrase "-And then it was banned EVERYWHERE."

The plot starts off with a hybrid of Cinderella and the Taming Of The Shrew where a woman with her own daughter marries a Duke who has an older daughter, and then the Duke dies under "Mysterious circumstances".

But he leaves in his will that his fortune won't be disbursed until his daughter (the elder one) marries.

The elder daughter (like, 20ish?) is refusing to get married because her step-mother is trying to set her step-sister (age 12) with IDK A Medieval Italian supreme court judge?? (Age 65) , but the marriage can't go through until the Duke's fortune disburses and the mother can pay the dowry.

Other thing about the Eldest Daughter: She Always Speaks The Truth. Not only does she refuse to lie, but kind of like a retroactive Cassandra, everything she says is True. As you can imagine, this is not terribly popular In Fantasy Medieval Italian High Society.

The mother, big mad about being stuck with this stubborn, awkward girl, gets a Lawyer and a Bishop and a bunch of other authority figures to modify the will so that "Should the plague take my eldest, we will not be bereft *wink*" AKA if the eldest just dies or disappears without getting married, the mother will get the money anyway. (They all know she's going to kill the girl, but they're getting a cut.) The Step-Mother then, in true operatic fashion of Going Way Too Hard tortures the Elder daughter, and locks her in the basement to bleed out and die.

There, in the darkness, abandoned by God and the Law and Family etc. the daughter turns to the last thing she has left.

BLACK MAGIC

(Come on, it's Opera. Everybody knows Black Magic)

Morning reblog with some production notes now that I actually slept a bit:

  • Elder Daughter's name is Franchezza, the Demon's name is Radrizzare.
  • EVERYONE is getting the most Blunt-Force Names possible. it's funny. God The Caterer is named Dio, and his big reveal is literally "You thought I was a simple baker, but in reality, T'WAS I, DIO!!"
  • It's a tragicomedy of contrasts. Memes one second, the kind of ridiculous violence that would make a Tarantino film look like a saturday morning cartoon the next.
  • Franchezza should be played by the deepest, roughest female voice you can find. If she sounds like the ungreased hinges to the gates of hell, that's your girl.
  • Radrizarre's Costume: -the wings should be dark and ratty but always feathered, Not bat or insect wings. Ideally, he should look like a crow that fell out of a chimney fire. -His horns should curve together and ALMOST but not quite make a complete circle, to evoke his Halo. -The rest of him is magnificently monstrous- big teeth, lots of eyes, on fire, tail, hooves, the works. -When he is in "disguise" as a pageboy on earth, he should look EXACTLY like his demonic self- tall, dark and eldritch- but wearing the medieval version of a Shitty retail uniform. Nobody Except the younger sister notices.
  • When Radrizzare goes to earth to see what the hell is wrong with all these humans, he finds the Stepmother deep in grief and he asks her whose grave she weeps over. They have a duet where she sings about how much she misses her stepdaughter, and the life they could have shared, while Radrizzare sings about "Yeah that doesn't sound like Frankie at all/Oh I see you only loved the version of her you made up in your head, no wonder you killed the real one.
  • Franchezza may or may not actually be dead, that isn't really all that important.
  • Make that Wedding cake as ridiculous as possible
  • B-plot with the Younger Sister being in love/good friends with the creepy Judge's grandson, who is about her age. They serve a few functions in the play: 1. The stepmother is deliberately misleading her daughter about WHICH member of the Judge's family she's arranging the marriage with. 2. the younger daughter and the grandson serve as scene-change clowns, in which they come out and have absolutely absurd conversations as a pair of clueless teens to make the audience laugh while the set pieces are moved around. 3. The Grandson is going to grow up to be himbo supreme, but in the meantime he manages to get lost and ends up in hell, so he helps Franchezza out. The younger daughter is onto Radrizzare's shit immediately and helps him out as well.
  • Lawyer is actually a medieval hedge fund manager, or some other bean-counting money-obsessed twit that puts profit over ethics.
  • Plot exposition is done by the Art Historian in a sort of Princess-Bride-Novel-Style commentary from the wings, and is played by the same actor as God.

I'm calling it "The Truth Gets Out" unless I think of a better title.

We should all be like the birds.

Welcome to another "Good News / Bad News" post, everyone!

Good News... I finally got a new job after nearly SIX MONTHS of constant searching! YAY!

Bad News... I have some bills due immediately that need to be paid so that I can survive until the end of this month when I get my first paycheck from the new job and from when Twitch payouts happen.

So to make it through til the end of the month when payments come in I need to come up with around $1,200 by next Monday.

christ sometimes I just wanna. steal a time machine & go back & sit down next to my 9-year-old self and just like. let them pull out their pokemon card binder & gush about their holographic gyarados or whatever. I'd just smile & ask questions about motherfukcing bulbasaur & tell my kid self that I thought they were a neat person, & someday they'd find other people who thought so too.

like i'm a grown adult who honestly finds most kids stuff boring, but. damn if i could go back & hang out with my baby self & listen to them ramble...just so they knew someone was listening. i would in a heartbeat. thinking about u kid

lotta people reblogging the tags so:

#wouldn't roll my eyes or check my phone or get bored or nothing. I'd just listen to that little dork & smile & encourage them & let them explain how their favorite gameboy games worked. i was the kind of kid my adult self would find annoying & uninteresting but like...most of the actual adults in my childhood felt that way too. including my dang parents. and ya know sometimes they showed it. a lot of times without realizing it. and that messes a kid up

if you don't make an effort kids will recognize your disinterest and lack of attention. kids deserve to have caregivers who show interest and engagement, even when it's over stuff that adults find boring. especially then maybe. your kid doesn't have to be fun or interesting or easy or well behaved to deserve positive attention. they deserve positive attention because they are YOUR KID. if love is unconditional then DISPLAYS of LOVE and AFFECTION must also be unconditional--not something that must be earned

telling your kid that you love them is not enough. that is step one out of like a thousand. if you just tell your kid you love them but you don't demonstrate affection and interest and patience and warmth and etcetera--your kid isn't gonna feel loved! "I Love You" will just become a trite phrase that they regard with mistrust! bitch you gotta FOLLOW THROUGH!!!

don't know what this tag means but I'm keeping it: #astral parenting

Hello everyone! I know this is vastly different from the usual content I post, but it is extremely important to me. I am currently doing research on fandom vocabulary and identity for one of my college classes this semester with the goal of getting my paper published. If you have the time, I would appreciate it if anyone involved with fandoms currently or in the past could complete this survey and spread it to others.

This survey will remain anonymous and no personal data will be collected. It is being conducted for its potential benefits to individuals or humans in general. An expected benefit of this study is an understanding of fandom culture and its vocabulary. You are not likely to experience physical, psychological, social, or legal risks beyond those ordinarily encountered in daily life or during the performance of routine examinations or tests by participating in this study. Your participation is voluntary. You can stop at any time and can decline to answer questions if you do not feel comfortable answering them.

This survey consists of a demographic section and questions related to fandoms and their vocabularies. It will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete.

Even if you are not able to take the survey, spreading it by reblogging it or sharing it online with friends will be just as helpful! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Thanks again everyone!
