Deuteronomy is busy supporting and encouraging the train cats, when... oh no! Jemima did a mischief!

The Mistoffelees ears are just too tempting not to bap.

Mistoffelees has a deadly glare which Jemima knows better than to take seriously. All she has to do is giggle at him for it to melt into a smirk.

Vienna revival, 7 May 2022; filmed by @thunderwhenhepurrs. Lucius Wolter covering Deuteronomy, Suzie Murphy covering Jemima, Stephen Martin Allan as Mistoffelees, Anna Carina Buchegger as Rumpelteazer, Vicky Riddoch as Electra, and Meghan Peploe-Williams covering Tantomile.

Beloved has blessed my holidays, added years to my life, watered my crops, etc. I miss this production 😭😭😭

Several angles from several performances because Matthew Levick and Stephen Martin Allen are both up there as Mistoffelees and George Maniadis can be seen as both Admetus and Alonzo.

Rolling Stone Magazine Top 250 Guitarists - The Omissions List

Once again, Rolling Stone Magazine puts together a list that no one asked for and it's a complete mess. Instead of analyzing craft and technique, Rolling Stone goes for popularity and mediocrity. Who in their right mind thinks that Joni Mitchell, not known primarily for her guitar work, is Top 10 material, but Slowhand himself, Eric Clapton only worth making it it to 35? Also, why is The Edge, probably the worst guitarist ever, have a place in the top 50 and Jose Feliciano, a master of classical style, not even crack the top 200? I can go on for hours about the inconsistencies, but for now, I will focus on the many guitarists that Rolling Stone left off.

Martin Barre

Jeff "Skunk" Baxter

George Benson

Joe Bonamassa

Doyle Bramhall II

Roy Clark

Mike Dawes

Paco De Lucia

Al Di Meola

Dave Edmunds

Tommy Emmanuel

Peter Frampton

Justin Hayward

Allan Holdsworth

Stephen Housden

Antonio Carlos Jobim

John Jorgenson

Laurence Juber

Terry Kath

Leo Kottke

Yngvie Malmsteen

Gary Moore

Steve Morse

Joe Pass

John Renbourn

Louie Shelton

Tommy Tedesco

Robin Trower

Bert Weedon

John Williams

If I left anyone off, include those names in the comments.

Update (11/12/2023): Just discovered Doyle Dykes and he was another omission from the Rolling Stone list. Because I’ve hit the 30 photo cap, he gets an acknowledgment here.

Not 'the Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore' but 'der Rum Tum Tugger bringt Bewegung ins Haus': the Rum Tum Tugger brings energy/movement into the house. Ie, he gets the party started. 👀 Allow Mistoffelees to show you how.

You've messed up a perfectly good Cassandra is what you did, look at her, she's forgotten her dignity.

... Mistoffelees never said he didn't like the energy.

Bonus: vibing

Vienna revival: Stephen Martin Allan as Mistoffelees and Dominik Hees as Tugger, with George Maniadis as Admetus and Anneka Dacres as Cassandra. First three gifs are 23 June 2022, filmed by @cryptidvoidwritings and @falasta; the last one is from 6 May 2022, filmed by @thunderwhenhepurrs.

After the Uganda–Tanzania War, Tanzanian troops discovered Bloch's body in 1979 in a sugar plantation around 20 miles (32 km) from Kampala, near the Jinja Road. Visual identification was impossible because her face was badly burned, but the corpse showed signs of a leg ulcer. A pathologist working with the Israel Defense Forces formally identified Bloch from the remains. Her remains were returned to her son in Israel, where she was given an Israeli state funeral. She was buried in Jerusalem's Har HaMenuchot Cemetery. (Wikipedia)

Midnight Pals: Mr Electric

Ray Bradbury: Submitted for the approval of the midnight Society, I call this the tale of the eternal summer, the last vestiges of muggy august giving way to the bluster of autumn, the twinkling lights of town below in the humid night, young lovers stealing kisses in the dark, old men on the porch, jawin and chewin and chuckling at remembrances of romances long past Barker: you’re literally just describing a Thomas Kinkade painting Poe: clive

Stephen King: wow ray you really come up with some evocative imagery! King: whatever inspired you to become a writer anyway? Bradbury: well, it all started when I went to the county fair and met a wizard Koontz: whoa! A real wizard! King: no dean he’s talking about a magician Bradbury: [chuckling] am I? Bradbury: mr electrico was no mere magician! Bradbury: he had the REAL power!!! Bradbury: the power Bradbury: to fire a young boy’s IMAGINATION! Neil Gaiman: [clapping] right, right! Good show! Right on!

Ray Bradbury: and Mr Electrico pointed a flaming electrical sword at me and said Bradbury: “LIVE FOREVER!!” Bradbury: now I cannot be killed Gretchen Felker-Martin: oh yeah, big mood

Bradbury: Mr Electrico said “Live Forever!” Bradbury: Now I cannot be killed Bradbury: and it’s true Bradbury: c’mon try it out Stephen King: no no I couldn’t Bradbury: c’mon Bradbury: c’mon!!! Bradbury: come at me bro!!! Bradbury: I can take it!!

Bradbury: [slapping chest] c’mon, take a swing at me! Stephen King: I really don’t want to fight you Ray Bradbury: do it! Do it! Barker: I’ll do it Poe: clive Barker: I’m just giving him what he wants! Poe: clive Poe: clive he’s like 100 years old

Mary Shelley: sup fuckers Bradbury: mary!!! Come at me! Mary Shelley: okie dokie [immediately shivs Bradbury, blade snaps] Mary Shelley: what the fuck Bradbury: ha! this isn’t even a tenth of my power!!! Bradbury: what did I tell you?! Bradbury: not a single one of you could defeat you!! Mary Shelley: oh yeah? Mary Shelley: guess we’ll have to gang up on you!! Get ‘im boys! [Ann Radcliffe and Monk Lewis approach with chain and billy club respectively] [Bradbury effortlessly blocks roundhouse kick by Wrath James White] Bradbury: ha! Laughable! [Bradbury effortlessly sidesteps kung fu chop by Alan Baxter] Bradbury: ha! Pathetic!

Bradbury: come on! Come at me! Robert E Howard: you sure about this pardna? Howard: this ain’t no pea shooter hombre Bradbury: [slapping chest] what’s the matter, ya pussy? Bradbury: Fuckin do it!! Howard: hold on thar pardna Howard: I think ya might wanna calm down Bradbury: [grabbing gun and pulling Robert E Howard closer] Bradbury: DO Bradbury: IT Howard: [aiming gun] okay pilgrim you asked fer it Poe: bob Poe: bob this is getting ridiculous Poe: bob don’t Howard: [cocking gun] sorry pardna Howard: I gotta Howard: it’s the law of the west

Ray Bradbury: [flexing] Behold!!! The power of Mr. Electrico!!! The electric man!!! Barker: so ray Barker: I hear this magician’s fake Poe: clive Bradbury: he’s a real magician Barker: is he now Barker: then why hasn’t anyone ever heard of him Bradbury: he Bradbury: he lives in Canada

Hello hello Nadia

it probably doesn't have a meaning to it or anything but since you're the witch of books... May I ask which books are your favourite? :)

Hello!! Thank you so much for stopping by and sending an ask!

I love answering this questions, so thank you again!

I have to admit that I go by my favourite authors and their books! Some of them are:

Dostoyevsky, Stephen King, Tolkien, Tolstoy, Pushkin, George Martin, Ethan Cross, Agatha Christie, Edgar Allan Poe, Lovecraft, Arthur C. Doyle and Chekhov!

I do enjoy reading fiction, crime and horror all at the same time XD

Some of my most favorite books are Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment and the Idiot, not only for the writing, but for the way he handles each character very realistically, showing the imperfections of all his characters!

Which are you favourites of your favourite authors? (If you want to answer, no pressure!)

#favourite asks #thank you again!#books were the main reason i started tumblr to tell the truth😭
