I never did an update on my production of Newsie but I did get Mike and became a Brooklyn newsie. This production might be my first and last due to finding myself overwhelmed with being in theater. It’s been great so far but it might just not be my thing, it breaks my heart that I can’t continue but it just might not be for me.

I desperately need more Newsie mutuals, does anyone know a discord server or something I can join? I can’t seem to find any active servers anymore.

a bit of the bottom line reprise but it’s Davey
Yes I have become songwriting trash again lol, enjoy this snippet that came to me in a fever dream a few weeks ago and has been marinating ever since
So now I’ve no job, Jack,
You made me resign-
Now, I know you’ve no family,
But just think of mine!
I’m glad we’re alive, but I think
That’s the bottom line!
You told me to yell
And so I raised my voice
And convinced them to stand up and fight!
It’s too bad for them, we’ve got only one choice
So you’d better pray for us tonight…

DBH Android Race Analysis/Is Gavin Reed Racist?
An analysis done based on a post I’ve seen calling Gavin Reed a racist.
THIS IS PURELY A DISCUSSION. I AM OPEN TO OTHER INTERPRETATIONS AND COMMENTS. IF YOU’D LIKE TO DISCUSS OR EDUCATE ME IN A TOPIC PERTAINING TO THIS THAT WILL FURTHER MY KNOWLEDGE ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS, PUT IT IN MY ASKBOX OR COMMENTS.
TW: This analysis will include the discussion of whether Androids are considered a race within the DBH World, when they may have not been considered a race, and other racial topics such as if Gavin Reed is racist. I did minimal research on the topic and I am speaking based on the experience of being a minority in America and of my opinions.
Again I want to start with the fact this is an open discussion. I don’t mean to offend, attack, or defend anyone with this post for/with bad intentions because at the end of the day this is a discussion on whether a fictional scenario can lead to the creation of a new race and whether a character is racist to this fictional species. I am always open to comments on this post for more opinions, and I want this to be a welcoming and open discussion.
I recently saw a post on Tumblr about how Gavin Reed is canonically racist against androids and I wanted to share my thoughts on the topic because the subject certainly interesting and very complex. In order to debate on whether someone can be racist against androids, we first have to answer the question of whether androids are a race, and more importantly what makes androids a race in the first place.
The Google definitions of race are considered to be: a major grouping of human kind, a group of people sharing the same culture/history/language/ethnic group, a group of set people or things with a common feature or features, etc etc. By Google definition, I’d like to say that androids in DBH could be considered a race. I’m saying could in the sense that androids at some point weren’t sentient, and we as people don’t often refer what we think are non-living things (things that do not have the ability to carry on life processes such as movement, respiration, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli.) as a race.
Personally, I don’t believe androids could have been considered a race until deviancy became a common feature amongst androids because of the fact that deviancy gave androids the ability to properly respond to stimuli and grow/evolve their consciousness. Any time before deviancy, androids may not have been considered a race due to the restraints their programming had on their consciousness, restricting their ability to respond to stimuli and grow from it (ex. a robot who hasn’t deviated wouldn’t have the same interest in bugs as an robot who had deviated would because it’s programming doesn’t allow it to grow it’s love for bugs and respond to bugs as a stimuli in order to process their opinions on bugs).
Now apply that thought process on someone like Gavin Reed, who was born in 2002 and most likely was there to watch the development of androids and their integration into society. The first case of deviancy didn’t happen until 2032, when Gavin was 30. It was possible Gavin wasn’t even aware of that case and even more possible that he was still under the impression androids were machinery or another piece of technology. If he was aware of the first case of deviancy, it may have been likely that anyone who knew was told it was bug in the system. Relatably, how many of you thought the mouse moving by itself on a computer or a phone shutting itself off was just a bug or glitch. Now as much as I can find from the wiki, Gavin dislikes androids. The reason I found for this was because of the fact androids have been replacing people in the working scene. Despite having a prejudice against androids he’s also shown to have a respect for them to a certain extent, shown by Connor during the archive room scene if Connor takes the “calm” or “low profile” route. I also believe during that scene Gavin is still under the impression that deviancy is a bug in the code and not a spark of consciousness, which leads to his recklessness with androids.
All in all, I believe Gavin isn’t hardcore racist but more so ignorant as well as a careless one and has a long way to go in terms of his beef with androids. If we were given as much time with him as we were with Hank, I wonder if Gavin would have learned to move past his prejudice like Hank has. (With the mention of Hank, I’d also like to throw in the question of whether Hank was formerly racist to androids at the beginning of DBH)
If you have your own thoughts, be welcome to share! This is all pure speculation and mostly just to get the wheels turning because I am curious to see what you guys think and this game has a multitude of topics that relate to our real world which makes it extra special to discuss.

I wrote this a while ago and was never sure if someone could actually stub their toe on Les Mis but now I am absolutely sure BECAUSE WHAT IS THIS???
Tumblr media
Things In The Reid Household That Just.. They Don’t Make Sense, They Just Happen
(Father!Spencer Reid x Child!Y/n)
Tumblr media
Reference. Nonstop. All the time. Books, Movies, TV Shows, Music, Any media. REFERENCES.
“You’re not a wizard, Y/n” “I’m not a what-?” “Y/n.” “Sorry,”
Book Banks, Books on da floor, Books on da deck- TOASTED. It’s the only thing never cleaned up for some reason.
“OW.” “What happened?!” “I STUBBED MY TOE ON LES MES.”
An art wall for all the kiddo’s art. No matter how bad or how good, it’s on ‘The Wall’.
“Ugh, he still has that picture of that really bad frog I drew.” “I like him, he’s a funky lil’ frog dude.” “Shut up.”
A calender with a lot of important dates and events marked down, concerts, sport games, you name it, it’s probably there.
“DAD.” “Yes Y/n?!” “WE GOT THE DATE WRONG FOR THE CONCERT.” “Oh, change it real quick for me?!”
The ever so often “Y/N. WHAT ARE YOU DOING??” because too quiet means someones dead or has done something.
“Y/N, WHAT ARE YOU DOING??” “LISTENING TO MUSIC, YOU NERD.” “Y/N.” “SORRY NOT SORRY.”
A record player. One of you thought it was cool, whoever it was now all the vinyls are organized in alphabetical order and are reorganized on Sunday because thats the day I’ve decided you get more.
“WHERES IT’S BEEN A LONG LONG TIME?!?!” “I SECTION, OR KI SECTION.” “NOPE. FOUND IT.” “WHERE?” “ON THE VINYL PLAYER.”
Everything is organized, what did you expect? Usually alphabetically, except the pantry. Pantry is organized my type, canned, chips, fruits, veggies, etc etc.
“Oh my god.” “What?” “You organize your bookshelf by color.” “Dad… I only ever read your copies.” “Still..”
A random keyboard/piano in the living room. Only Reid plays it tho, mostly just random silly songs. He played Never Gonna Give You Up once but soon was stopped, were you going to allow your father to take in cringe culture? Of course not!
“OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD.” “What Y/n.. WHAT??-“ “STOP PLAYING STOP PLAYING STOP PLAYING!!!!!!!”

I’m kind of interested in the Wordgirl fandom but the only thing that solidified my interest in it was a fanfic on Ao3 called “Tobey finds out who’s in Paris.” I am cackling.

I got callbacks!!! Hoping for Crutchie, Spot or Les!!!
I’m so stressed because I can’t sing A Letter From The Refuge in the key Andrew sings it in and if I do sing it in the key I’m comfortable with, my director might not cast me because he won’t want to spend money finding a score for our pit to use!!! I’m literally losing my mind over this and it’s making me cry because I don’t think I’ll ever get the chance to play Crutchie.
