Kwiktripdisaster - Fandomness + Randomness

i’m tired of seeing posts saying that releasing proshots of musicals will kill the musical theatre business because it really won’t. it’ll reach a bigger audience that way. folks who have never even considered watching hamilton before it was on disney plus are starting to watch more musicals after seeing it. after watching the proshot of into the woods i’ve never wanted to see it on broadway more. legally blonde is one of my favorite shows because i got to watch it recorded, but i still want to see it performed as a part of the audience. i watch the heathers bo0tleg like three times a week! i still want to see it in person because it’s an experience.

and also, how could i not mention that broadway is an american thing and west end is a UK thing. there are so many other countries out there who don’t have the money or the ability to see big shows. same thing goes for disabled folk who don’t have the ability to go because seating for them is limited and sometimes even nonexistent. i mean, think about it. if someone’s deaf, at home there’s subtitles. if a show doesn’t have seating for people in wheelchairs, there’s a proshot at home they can watch. if someone doesn’t have the money to travel to new york and then purchase tickets to a show, they might have the money to stay home and watch it for 3.99. non-english speakers can have dubs or subs for a famous professionally recorded show.

musical theatre should be for everyone. not just rich able-bodied people.

Hey. Hey you. The person aimlessly scrolling, stuck in an immobilized standoff with your brain

It's not your fault. You won't be stuck forever. I know you're trying. I know you hate it. It's ok.

And tell the Mean Voice in your head that it's not helping. It knows as well as you do that you would get up and Just Start the task if you could. You're not doing this on purpose.

Take a deep breath. Relax your jaw. I see you trying so hard to break out of it, but you can't force it. You'll get Unstuck eventually. All you can do in the interim is be kind to yourself.

bilbo and frodo's is in a thursday in lotr this 22nd semptember will be on a thursday this truly is the year of matching dates to books

I love movies where the plot takes place in less than a day. It’s like. What if these people were experiencing the worst 8 hours of the entire lives and you got to see the highlight reel?

Part of the reason why the leverage crew works so well together is because they are all varying degrees of theater kids but only Sophie is willing to admit it.

Hawaii50 is a show about hot cars and even hotter people who carry guns and grenades and run around in a sunny island

Notice: not only do your friends actually like you, they secretly like you twice as much as they let on

Another thing I just realized. If you isolate, especially for a long time, and then start coming out of your shell... You're not gonna suddenly be fine with being around people, being seen by others, or having social interactions.

Whatever reason you were isolating is going to follow you. You're gonna be uncomfortable. You're going to try to hide. You're gonna have a hard time trusting others and being honest about yourself. This is natural.

Change doesn't happen over night. Taking action to put yourself in social situations is only the first step; learning how to be yourself around others and who you want in your life is a whole other ballgame. It's going to take time for you to discover how you want to exist in the world.

That's okay. It's frustrating as all hell. It's scary putting yourself out there. Sometimes it might feel like you'll never connect with someone else - that you'll always be an outsider no matter what you do. You might feel stuck and doomed, but you're not.

You are capable of growth and healing. There are people who want to be your friend, who will love and support you in ways you didn't think was possible. They will be patient with you as you struggle and change. Not only that, but they'll be proud of all the progress you made, and continue to make every day.

I say this to you, and myself. I'm experiencing this firsthand, and I've been being so mean to myself for not living up to whatever standards I've placed on myself. I can't push myself to be someone I'm not ready to be, to do things I'm not ready to do. I only have today, and who I am today.

So everyday, I can put some effort into exploring myself as a social creature. I can be more gentle and patient with myself through the process. It's not going to perfect; I'm just one person, and you are too. We'll both be okay and get through this. We are allowed to take things one step at a time, one day at a time.

One day we'll be able to look back on where we are now and see how much we've grown, how much happier we are. Until then, we'll hold on for the ride and keep going. ♡
