Yooo I didn't know you liked Little Shop of Horrors! Same here!
(I'm actually in the musical for my school, I'm just part of the ensemble, but hey, I don't mind.)
Yeah, I do! I like all three versions of the story, actually! (The quickly made 1960 movie, the musical I can't remember the year for, & the 1986 movie adaptation of the musical!)
For the few theatre things I've done in my life (mostly school-related ones), I always loved being in the ensemble! It's always fun to be one of the little guys that makes up all the guys on stage! If I were ever able to be a part of a production again, I'd be begging to be part of the ensemble, personally! I hope you're able to have fun (& remember the lyrics!)
I've got the 1986 movie on DVD, as well as a little Audrey II from Etsy (pictured below!) They sit on my desk beside my photo scanner, currently! This picture is from a few years ago when I first got 'em!
I'm very tired of this "queer college students should stop supporting Palestine, they'd kill you there!" I watched a hijabi ask a trans man, "but what name do you want to go by?" A butch giving a woman their hoodie so that she could keep her hair covered after the cops took her scarf. Muslim girls making sure the lesbian couple got through the system together. Religious men making sure purple haired protestors got out safe. I don't want to hear it. Solidarity forever, free Palestine.
one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method
i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.
So I would like to know more about Freya, because she's probably my favorite (I think she's the DnD one, not 100% sure.)
Have a good day :D
✨ Aww, I appreciate your kind words & interest in my art & characters very much!
Everything involving Freya & the story with her is currently conceptual & not super set in stone, so everything detailed below may change if I ever finalize these ideas into something that folks can properly read through to enjoy!
So! Freya is a part of a loose concept I have for a potential comic/graphic novel involving three elves & their big monster bodyguard as they travel around the land to make ends meet & maybe solve a mystery of something, who knows! Each of the three elves are meant to be a different kind of elf & a different kind of entertainer! (And each character is color-coded via their outfit!)
Freya is currently meant to be a Forest Elf (my naming conventions for elf species is based off of what environment you would find them in!), her entertainment style primarily relying on her looks combined with music &/or dancing (possibly leaning into suggestive stuff, not 100% sure at the moment!), & her main color is pink (or magenta, to be more specific!)
A couple fun facts that I have about her include...
• I first drew her on April 13th, 2021 (so that's her birthday!)
• Even though her entertainment (currently) leans into essentially seducing others, she's not actually interested in that kind of intimacy at all! She sort of "flirts for work," if that makes sense!
• D&D 5e mechanic wise, she'd probably best fit as a College of Glamour Bard!
You (or anybody else who may see this!) can totally ask me more stuff about her, any of my other characters, how I made or drew something for a particular piece, or even myself, if you'd like! I hope you have a good day as well! ✨
my prof just explained on the syllabus that he’s included more points in the class than we needed to pass, so we could skip up like?? 20 small assignments/quizzes/participation!! and still get a very high grade!!
the idea was that we could focus on assignments that played to our strengths - only do the participation stuff if we like to talk out loud - only do the quizzes/readings if we want to do the class remotely - only do online discussions if we like to talk and share opinions but struggle with anxiety in class ect.
and that’s cool enough but then he pulled up DnD character sheets with drawings he’d done of these hypothetical student player classes and how our various accessibility needs could be gamified to ‘max out’ different aspects of the class to get high grades and like!!!!!
hell yeah!!!! let’s treat accessibility in higher education not just as a necessity but as the fun, engaging, and creative aspect of learning that it is!!! I love this!!
EDIT: For proper credit or further questions about his system please find my professor on twitter @/kurtishanlon
The best piece of advice I ever got was not meant as advice, but as an edict. If I was going to threaten people as a joke, it had to be so far out of proportion with what happened that it would be obvious I was joking. This changed how I expressed frustration with others. It then changed how I expressed frustration with myself.
Not “I’m going to hit you” but “I am going to buy a tuna sub from the gas station and hide it under the seat of your car”
Not “I’m going to kill myself” but “I am going to walk into the desert and let the scarabs take me”
The other side then happened. When I mess something up, instead of saying it’s bad and perpetuating negative thoughts, swing hard the other way.
Not “this art is terrible” but “this shall be framed and mounted on the wall in my museum exhibition as testament to the suffering I had to overcome”
Have been doing this since high school. It was my drama teacher who asked me to please stop scaring the actors. The other half of the edict was that I had to say it in a polite tone, and end it with either please or thank you.
Life changing. 10/10 Mr Muëller. Highly reccomend.
watching bridgerton and obviously there were a lot of things wrong with the way socializing has worked in the past, but honestly the idea of a "calling hour" is so appealing. office hours for friendship. you can show up unannounced at my home between 1 and 3pm. you must leave by 3pm. I may give you a pastry. lets bring that back
