if there's ever another broadway revival of assassins i am desperate for it to use the 1990 cast album orchestrations (or at least an adaptation thereof considering that a 35-piece pit orchestra isn't exactly practical) because it truly drives me nuts that no actual production has ever used them. i just want assassins to have a real string section is that too much to ask

#bee posts nonsense #michael starobin (the orchestrator) has a very interesting blog post where he talks about the practicalities of orchestrating assassins #and why he didn't use his 1990 orchestrations for the 2004 revival #it's a super fascinating look into how musical theatre orchestrations work i'll link it in a reblog #assassins musical #theatre

Looking back a quarter century on

Firdaus Ahmed* The night of 19-20 January is traditionally taken as the beginning of the uprising in Kashmir. However, it can also be dated to the earlier release of the militants in exchange for safety of the daughter of the then Indian home minister and current chief ministerial candidate, Mufti Sayeed. In the run up to the Republic Day, the fear was that there could be a unilateral declaration…

Nilan Punzalan Pradep – Tragically Hero Monster

Nilan David Santos Punzalan Pradep, is the fictional character and as main protagonist introduced in Historya Davvun, as part of Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure as sequel since 1980s to 1990s and year 2000.

Under the experiment of Abstergo Industries' Chalom Device, he was called SUBJECT_69, which is referred by Daniel Cross as funny number.

Physiology

Nilan is a 17- to 40-year old blue eyed demigod descent with Ilocano, Ibanag, Ifugao, Spanish, Welsh, French, Breton, and Han Chinese from his mom, and his father was of Tamil and Telugu descent. Nilan has smooth and sturdy brown skin reminiscent of Tamil people, with sharp nails, and long canine teeth like aswang. His hair color, including the eyelashes, was coarse black. Nilan's eye color was blue, due to Waardenburg syndrome, and his eyesight was clear and even in midnight due to aswang ancestry.

The original hunters used Terran old technology, Aurorium, adamantine, and even the toughest materials to create Nilan's Conservationist Hunter outfit. The Conservationist Hunter wardrobe was practically unbreakable, magic-proof, and bulletproof, Abstergo observed.

Because of this monster appearance, Nilan's appearance changes; its eyes begin to glow, its neck and CH letters on his right hand begin emitting a pulsating light, his chest, front legs, and tail become covered in a dark red to purple energy, the chest on his body begin glowing, and his body takes on a darker hue while Princess Diana was likely killed by Abstergo Industries.

Abilities

Conservationist Hunters possess magical abilities, which Nilan lacks due to his unusual Aurorium neurotransmitter known as Ballahu. The Ballahu is a fictional fruit based on an Ifugao folk song. Nilan was immune to being obeyed by Terran Ancient Artifacts or Eden Pieces by the Assassins, making him one of the few people immune to this ancient technology created by the gods during the Pleistocene epoch.

Nilan was born with superhuman hearing, strength, durability, reflexive abilities, and extremely fast regenerating health. Because of the aswang, Nilan drinks one of the Abstergo members' blood to recover faster than normal vampires. Unlike their vampire relatives, aswangs are invulnerable to sunlight.

When Nilan loses friends, spouses, or allies, such as Diana, the princess of Wales, and his Armenian companions, he instantly transforms into "Bloodthirsty Mode," and Nilan goes insane using his mental and physical powers. Which roars and teleports to replenished by performing concealment stealth and assassinations. Nilan enables his powers to pillage and eliminate multiple enemies at the same time by using his sharp nails; time is slowed after each assassination, allowing Nilan to choose the next enemy. Because Rapunzel's descendant, Nilan, is the Sundrop, she (and everyone else) assumed Nilan would need to obtain the Moonstone in order to reunite them with like a god abilities and aswang powers.

Nilan's party will turn against him at the end of his journey. The prophecy of Daniel Cross and Desmond Miles foreshadowing Nilan's treason for the rise of the New World Order. Nilan, like Rapunzel and Cassandra from the series, was possessed and transformed into something strange using Sundrop and Moonstone Opal.

Behavior

Nilan is the stupid but honest man who discovers his real parents will find something until he is apprehended by Abstergo. Nilan is a responsible man who hides his ancestry from his friends, family, and even former enemies, and he is even a member of his faction. He was trusted, and as the family man of Guaiya and Pingking Punzalan, his half-brothers who became his first brothers, he was confronted by the Abstergo, an ex-Templar subsidiary.

Quirin Stearns, a Grand Master or Templar Chief of the Templar Order and former Abstergo creator, tracked him down to find the Artifact, and in the process lost one of his Armenian friends, transforming him into "Bloodthirsty Mode." Many Assassins and Templars were destroyed by Nilan's monstrous abilities, and he fled to Uzbekistan on the backs of Armenian flying dogs called Arelaz, where his mother was discovered.

Nilan is a fan of Diana Spencer, and they later became best friends for his job, and she later told her secretly. Guaiya and Nilan grow envious of Diana until he decides to give her to Prince Charles Windsor instead. Nilan was fighting an assassin named Desmond Miles in Baku, Azerbaijan, when he stole John the Apostle's Orb from him. Diana tells Charles and Nilan that she is pregnant, and soon after their son William is born. Diana walks in on Charles talking sweetly on the phone to Camilla, who he hasn't talked to in months.

In the past, he was favorite targeted by Daniel Cross for want the New World Order. He was always tested by Abstergo members, including Warren Vidic to find the Terran Deity Artifacts and find the ancestors, but it less done by Abstergo. Until he was escaped by Templar allied Assassin named Desmond Miles and Lucy Stillman. He believed that he's stronger than ordinary human, and he was aswang, the monster mentioned in locals in Philippine mythology by Lucy. Due to lost of his foster parent caused by Abstergo Industries in Chennai, India, known for exterminated the members and leaders of Conservationist Hunters, Assassin Order, and Templar Order.

Nilan was confronted by his half-brothers were lose of their memories, until reunited with their mother, Lesley Punzalan to apologize her sons. Lucy knows how Guaiya was part of Templar Knights, and Pingking was part of Templar Order and Assassin Order. Henri de Baptiste was killed by Daniel Cross using his Abstergo made hidden blade, and unnamed mentor of Assassin Order was also killed. While Gerald Kirk, the former Elder Duke of Conservationist Hunter, was killed by Abstergo soldiers. This is the worst event known as The Great Extinction.

Nilan hired many people as Conservationist Hunters to become a double agent to enter Assassin Order and Templar Order weren't option. His weapon was called Cross of Chennai, was firstly destroyed after overheated. The second weapon was buried in Aesir stronghold temple in Jerusalem was Cross of Bethlehem, made by Hephaestus long time ago.

Here’s a Mega folder with a handful of junk for you trans girls to watch

https://mega.nz/folder/g14TWJaL#u5hER7DzOJbdJbAR0mhtBQ

///TGIRL FEATURE FILMS (alphabetical order)

Adam (2019) it's about a cis boy who's mistaken for a trans boy and rolls with it. Big cast of trans characters including a tgirl played by a tgirl who everyone wants to fuck. Directed by a trans dude. Highly legit. If you're still hung up on pre release speculation based on the novel then you're the most annoying person alive.

Assassination Nation (2018) The first half is Euphoria and the second half is The Purge. ONE OF THE BEST TGIRL MOVIES OF ALL TIME.

Bit (2019) Lesbian girl power vampire movie where the main character is a tgirl played by a tgirl. It's solid. I find it frustrating that they hint at her being trans without explicitly acknowledging it (and she's passing as fuck, so it's easy to not notice), but I know that's what some of y'all want.

Boy Meets Girl (2014) Cis dude for trans girl love story. Pretty normie, but also you see her fully naked (gock out) at the end.

Funeral Parade of Roses (1969) Extremely 60s. Cool as hell.

Lady Daddy (2010) South Korean romcom about a trans girl played by a cis girl who tries unconvincingly to back pass when she finds out she has a kid. Very cute.

Lingua Franca (2019) written directed and starring Isabel Sandoval. An undocumented trans woman immigrant in New York deals with a cis dude partner being a cis dude. Which is also the plot of The Garden Left Behind (2019).

Myra Breckinridge (1970) Raquel Welch is a trans woman and her goal is the destruction of the last vestigial traces of traditional manhood! It's Fight Club! It's Hackers! It's divisive, but it's probably my favorite movie!

So Pretty (2019) Literally the first scripted feature length (non pornographic tho it does have cock) film to feature two trans women played by trans women kissing eachother.

Something Must Break (2014) THE OTHER BEST TGIRL MOVIE OF ALL TIME. Drugs. Crimes. Gock. Slow motion pissing. Slow motion park Fucking. Genuinely the most beautiful sex scene I've seen in any movie. And she makes it to the end still alive and more sure of herself and at peace than ever.

Tangerine (2015) Groundbreaking and also a bunch of the secondary characters are real life pornstars (which I think is neat).

The Garden Left Behind (2019) This and Lingua Franca (2019) really are tgirl twin films, but (like with Antz and A Bug’s Life) the vibes and details make them distinct (I assume tho tbh I’ve never watched Antz).

///TGIRL DOCUMENTARIES

Bambi (2013) about a trans girl showgirl in 50s/60s paris

Paris is Burning (1990) basically it's Pose.

Shinjuku Boys (1995) Trans dudes working in a tokyo club that caters to tboy chasing cis girls. There's at least one trans girl in the mix too.

///FORCED FEMINIZATION

A Reflection of Fear (1972) They raised her as a girl and it made her do murders! It drags in places, but the girl in it is so ethereal and it has ageplay vibes and daddy issues.

Memory Run (1996) A very fun direct to video scifi action flick about fighting fascism by blowing up your pre transition self with a rocket launcher + it's based on a novel written by a trans woman.

She-Man A Story of Fixation (1967) Notable for being such a cliche sissy maid fantasy while also coming out so early + it was Bob Clark's first film lol.

Sleepaway Camp (1983) A more famous version of Reflection of Fear.

Surrender Dorothy (1998) A MUST WATCH. I personally bought a physical DVD and made an ISO of it for you because I was unsatisfied with the quality of the only copy that seemed to exist online. I ALSO PERSONALLY CREATED MY OWN SUBTITLES FOR IT BECAUSE EVEN THE DVD DIDN’T INCLUDE ANY! WHICH TOOK HOURS TO DO!

The Skin I Live In (2011) A rapist is kidnapped and turned into a girl by a mournful vengeful plastic surgeon. Which was also the plot of Victim (2010). I never really vibe with Pedro Almodóvar movies, but I recognize this is the preeminent forced feminization film.

///SHORT FILMS

Gender Troublemakers (1993) Some 90s Toronto trans girls fucking and discoursing. Explicit tgirl on tgirl action. This is the only one on the list that I haven’t actually watched yet. I’m hyped to watch it tho. Seems mindblowingly rad af.

Happy Birthday Marsha (2018) It's about Marsha P. Johnson.

I don't Know (1971) I'm obsessed with the trans girl in this one she just keeps popping up in all kinds of early 70s stuff. Directed by Penelope Spheeris (who is the sister of the cis gf in it).

Mesmeralda (2019) AN ABSOLUTE BANGER HOLY FUCK THE VIBES ARE OFF THE CHARTS! PLS WATCH THIS! I refuse to apologize for it being 15GB or to re encode it. It’s worth every byte and I want to ensure that this full quality copy doesn’t disappear off of the internet.

Pat Rocco's Changes (1970) It's that same girl again!

Queens at Heart (1967) I can't get over that hairdresser girl thinking she's back passing. Most adorably weak boymode ever.

Shangri-La (2021) Another Isabel Sandoval joint.

The Yellow Wallpaper (2021) Freshly post op girl with a supportive boyfriend goes unhinged.

Undress Me (2012) Jana Bringlöv Ekspong did a few short films. Give janabringlove a google after watching this.

///JUST LIKE BTW

Some of these would be tough to find elsewhere, but most of the movies are also watchable on fmovies and/or can be torrented in higher quality.

After you've worked your way through the folder then just start doing Google searches for trans films. Look at IMDB keywords and letterboxd lists. There are so many more out there. These are just like my personal picks.

To the Salvadoran military the Americans were too good to be true. The Salvadorans quickly figured out that they could do anything, really anything, and the gringos would cover for them. If they raped and murdered US nuns, Secretary of State Alexander Haig would testify that perhaps there had been an "exchange of fire," that perhaps the nuns were armed. When six Jesuit priests were killed in 1989 on a university campus surrounded by the army, Ambassador Walker suggested to the press that they had been killed by guerrillas dressed as soldiers. After each massacre or assassination US officials swore that this time they were serious, the money was going to dry up, that continued funding depended on a full investigation and prosecution for - and here the phrase varied over the years - the killing of Archbishop Romero, the nuns, the Sheraton Hotel murders, the murder of four Dutch TV journalists, the murder of civilians in the village of Las Vueltas, the village of Los Llanitos, the village of Las Hojas, Armenia, [El] Mozote, or San Sebastian, the murder of the Jesuits... Fourteen of the military's fifteen top commanders had, during the course of the war, led troops responsible for illegal executions or disappearances. But by 1990 not a single officer had been convicted of a human rights violation, and the money kept coming. The gringos were bluffing. They were always bluffing.
