I had a very interesting discussion about theater and film the other day. My parents and I were talking about Little Shop of Horrors and, specifically, about the ending of the musical versus the ending of the (1986) movie. In the musical, the story ends with the main characters getting eaten by the plant and everybody dying. The movie was originally going to end the same way, but audience reactions were so negative that they were forced to shoot a happy ending where the plant is destroyed and the main characters survive. Frank Oz, who directed the movie, later said something I think is very interesting:
I learned a lesson: in a stage play, you kill the leads and they come out for a bow — in a movie, they don’t come out for a bow, they’re dead. They’re gone and so the audience lost the people they loved, as opposed to the theater audience where they knew the two people who played Audrey and Seymour were still alive. They loved those people, and they hated us for it.
That’s a real gem of a thought in and of itself, a really interesting consequence of the fact that theater is alive in a way that film isn’t. A stage play always ends with a tangible reminder that it’s all just fiction, just a performance, and this serves to gently return the audience to the real world. Movies don’t have that, which really changes the way you’re affected by the story’s conclusion. Neat!
But here’s what’s really cool: I asked my dad (who is a dramaturge) what he had to say about it, and he pointed out that there is actually an equivalent technique in film: the blooper reel. When a movie plays bloopers while the credits are rolling, it’s accomplishing the exact same thing: it reminds you that the characters are actually just played by actors, who are alive and well and probably having a lot of fun, even if the fictional characters suffered. How cool is that!?
Now I’m really fascinated by the possibility of using bloopers to lessen the impact of a tragic ending in a tragicomedy…

How to Play the Uta no Prince-Sama Games in English!!
Disclaimer!! This method won't provide a completely accurate translation but after playing one route fully (around 8 hours), I can confirm that this method works well enough. You can understand the plot and even play the minigames (I recommend playing them on easy though since they can be quite challenging on hard)
This method also works on the official releases of the games so pirating or emulation isn't necessary. Obviously I can't stop anyone from pirating but if you can please consider buying a copy of the game. At the time of writing all of the games are on sale on the Nintendo eShop, with Repeat being 50% off and the rest of the games being 20% off. Just make sure to test this method before spending any money, I don't want anyone to spend the money and then realize this method is uncomfortable or anything of the sort.
1. Requirments!
You will need two devices. A mobile phone and the device you will be playing the game on.
2. Step One, Translator
I use the Google Translate app but any translator with similar features will work. For this method we will be using the camera feature.
3. Step Two, Using the Camera Feature
Using the camera feature is quite simple.
After you go to the camera you will be met with this screen (it's black for privacy reasons but that's what you will see with your camera).
Point the camera at the text you want to translate (in this case the text box in the game). It will automatically translate the text even if you don't take a photo. Just make sure to move your camera away from your screen when moving on to the next line because otherwise it won't translate the next line.
This method is quite tiring so make sure to take frequent breaks to let your hand rest. Personally I took breaks after every chapter or when I was raging at the rhythm minigame (I had the minigames on hard at first, don't repeat (pun not intended) my mistake).
If you try out this method please let me know how it went. I'm really curious to see if this method is bearable for most people or I am so obsessed with Utapri that I will do anything to consume content for it.
#uta no prince sama#utapri#Y’know what? I am desperate enough#as a brand new utapri fan who speaks 0 Japanese it’s so hard to know that there’s so little localized content#after shining live closed I felt so listless ;3;

Lilo & Stitch is a great example of a story that has no villains. It has antagonists, sure, but most of them are well-meaning. The worst person in the film is that little shit Myrtle, but she’s not in the film that much anyway.

When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.

one time i had a dream that tiktok users deemed “kid” as a slur and that you HAD to refer to them as minors otherwise you would get harassed and threatened with doxxing. you couldn’t say “when i was a kid” anymore for example you HAD to say “when i was a minor” instead

enough reclaiming slurs, I think in 2023 we should reclaim nascar. they banned the confederate flag on all properties & their stance on lgbtq+ isn’t just performative bc in 2013 they fined a driver 10k for using a homophobic slur, condemned indiana in a statement for an anti lgbt law, and partnered w carolina’s lgbt+ chamber of conference in 2022. nascar was founded by anti-cop moonshiners/bootleggers who drove suped-up fords to out-run the police. #yaaascar
