If I had a nickel for every time Olivia Cooke played a character named ‘Emma’ who lives in Seattle, has a British parent that keeps in contact, and a husband with a past involving recreational substances, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

For the plot bunny ask game: Glee + Emma Watson + Any ship, please??

@dancingsunflowers-ocs ✨💛✨

Absolutely please give a drumroll for...

Felicity Moore (Santana Lopez ship)

Felicity knew from a young age that she loved to sing, that's why she joined Glee club in the first place. Though when she joined under Sandy Ryerson, she didn't do much but watch him harass students, so it was a relief when Will Schuester took over with the promise of being able to sing more. However her little club where she was only slushied once in a while was suddenly bigger and while she was okay with a few new additions, the popular kids joining were a little much for her and the eyes it brought to their island of misfit toys. Especially when one of those popular kids was the girl she's had a crush on since middle school cheer tryouts, who seems to not even know she exists.

Send me a fandom / love interest / faceclaim (one or all of those) and I’ll make a plot bunny

[bowtiesnmusicals]

Here is my recap of the Up and Down Under (Acafella's) episode of the podcast.

This is not exactly their favorite episode. It is not quite on the same level as the Pilot or Showmance.

After rewatching the episode Jenna's feelings changed. She still doesn't enjoy the acafella parts of the episode. She did enjoy the parts leading to Kurt coming out and the Sue and the cheerios parts.

The dislike of the episode might also be because it is centered around the adults.

When the episode aired the cast was in Australia doing press events.

It was the first time Kevin went to a strip club. They landed in Melbourne and went straight to a strip club.

The reception in Melbourne and Sydney was very warm. Thousands of kids showed up for the events in those cities. It was jarring and shocking to the cast. They didn't understand why so many fans had showed up.

It was the first time they were treated like celebrities/famous people.

They did the bridge climb in Sydney.

They were hungover during the bridge climb and freaked out a little bit about having to a breathalyzer test before being able to do the climb.

This trip was monumental for them.

The #1 song at the time was I've Got A Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas. They would do lots of events with them and even ride on the same plane at times.

It was the week of the Emmy's when this episode aired.

They are going to try a new recap style. They are going to talk about each storyline separately and then go from there.

This is the beginning of the big guest stars.

Do I need to recap the recap of the episodes?

The actor who played Henri (John Lloyd Young) was dating Lea at the time.

How did they get away with performing I Wanna Sex You Up?

Kevin was the only one not in the PTA performance scene.

Jenna remembers meeting Josh Groban and being starstruck.

The scene with Josh Groban and Sandy Ryerson is hilarious.

This was the first time Emma mentions John Stamos.

Every Broadway show has a dad song. The acafella's part of the episode is the dad song.

We get some scheming from Sue and the Cheerios. We get some nuggets of comedic brilliance form Naya.

Jenna loves early Quinn and Santana. They were like minions of Sue.

Tina got a line during the Vocal Adrenaline scenes and only had to do it once.

Harry's wife was in this episode. She was a part of Vocal Adrenaline.

Cheyenne Jackson was supposed to play Dakota Stanley. He travelled to LA and did his fitting. He got the flu. Lou in the costume department took care of him. He thought his Glee moment was over but Ryan created something else for him.

The c plot is the best plot of this episode. Mercedes has a crush on Kurt.

The gayvention was really fun to shoot. Jenna had fun getting to say Kurt is lady fabulous.

Jenna was invested in Bust Your Windows.

Amber and Kevin had been talking about Jasmine Sullivan. Amber talked about it with Ryan. This was the first time something they really loved got added to the show.

Bust Your Windows is the highlight of the episode for Jenna.

Kurt coming out to Mercedes was a huge deal. It was not something that was shown at network on tv at the time.

Shirtless Shue was at 7 mins 53 seconds. We are 3 for 3 so far. He has been shirtless in every episode.

Kevin's second favorite scene to shoot was the scene where Dakota was berating them. The cast were not professional at all. They couldn't help but laugh. The actor playing Dakota was a professional was even adlibbing some stuff.

Kevin and Jenna think that the line Rachel says when she storms out about being taller then Dakota was adlibbed.

This was the first instance of Frankenteen.

Frankenteen was Cory's original twitter handle.

Jenna's favorite scene of this episode is Sue's office.

The quote of the episode is, "I am going to ask you to smell your armpits. That is the smell of failure and it's stinking up my office."

Santana running out crying because she gets her tanning privileges revoked was the best.

Deborah Monk (Shue's mom) did a brilliant job playing drunk.

Everyone loves Howard Bamboo.

Tartie Takes:

Cringe Moment: The dancing and straightness of the boyband

Worst Dance Move: The Acafella's

They were suckers for Cory's sly trying to be sexy face. It was so good, adorable, and funny.

Favorite Song: Bust Your Windows

Best Line: I am going to ask you to smell your armpits. That is the smell of failure and it's stinking up my office.

Best Performance by a Prop: The vomit in to trashcan and the rock Mercedes throws into Kurt's windshield.

Shit That Didn't Age Well: The Sandy Ryerson thing about being allowed in the faculty room because he isn't allowed within 50 feet of children. Would that be allowed today? Also the insults from Dakota Stanley.

The Thing That Aged Well: Kurt coming out to Mercedes. Also what Mercedes said to him immediately after he came out. It is the perfect setup for what happens next episode between Burt and Kurt.

Honorable Mention Best Quote: Josh Groban loves a blowsy alcholic.

Shit We Found On Tiktok:

Ryan Murphy does backhanded credits. In American Horror Story there were credits for pale person #1 and pale person #2.

In glee there are credits for super gay warbler and other really gay warbler.

In the scripts in the stage directions Ian would write jokes and descriptions of people that would never be seen on camera.

Next week there will be a super great guest.

#and that's what you really missed #atwyrm #podcast #jenna ushkowitz #kevin mchale

as much as tariq is like. the sitcom trope of useless flop (essentially used as a sponge for conflict consequences), i love what they've done with the trope.

idk if it's a catalogued trope or what it's actually called, but it seems every sitcom has a recurring minor character that serves as a hate sink. it's this pathetic little man (gender neutral) that you're intended to (at least) dislike that soaks up the unavoidable consequences of sitcom hijinks. youre intentionally set up/trained to have low empathy for them, so when actually bad things happen to them specifically, it doesn't truly break the tone of the sitcom.

[[for example, glee had a full b-cast of these characters in s1, but responded (imo wisely & genuinely) to criticisms, and dumped them by mid-s2; s1 was the rachel/finn/quinn & will/emma & kurt/mercedes show, leaving not just caricatures like sandy and terri as these hate-sinks, but effectively everyone else in glee as well. by effectively dumping characters like ken tanaka and sandy ryerson and fleshing out characters like mike, brittany, and even terri, they lost these hate-sinks, leading – arguably – to a teen audience (with more rudimentary media comprehension) to confuse the show's genre]]

the mcpoyles in iasip are the most egregious example of this trope, because the show is satirizing it, as it does with the whole genre – the main characters are already bad enough (and not immune to Narrative), the audience doesn't really need this hate sink so it feels extra absurd. but parks & rec does it, the good place does it, b99 does it, himym does it, crazy ex girlfriend does it. Every show has its own flavor, but it's there. So when someone needs to do jail time, suffer an injury, have a bad breakup, whatever, we can point and laugh and move on instead of making a whole story beat about it.

i usually hate it and grit my teeth until the character's gone, but i'm finding that's not the case with tariq. in s1 he was more typically the hate-sink, as an obvious obstruction to the main romance, a direct obstacle to all of the main character's goals, actively making situations worse – resulting in the "please leave and never come back feelings" and the relief when he leaves the show. [[idr if he's in s2 lmfao]] But I like that they a) didn't drag that out and b) have reintroduced him in a wholly different context and he's like. the sunshine version of this trope? he's like pathetic wet dog that needs to be contained for his own safety and more dumb as rocks golden retriever that can be easily corralled voluntarily

idk if i'm making this whole thing up – like maybe he'll get more character work or maybe he'll cause more problems, maybe he has a more significant narrative function (which many of these flop characters do) – but it's a pattern i see and i wanted to note it for myself.

#thoughts #currently watching tag #oh this was gonna just be a comment and it turned into an essay #bc i haven't seen anyone refer to this trope so idk if it's like a Thing™

Lya Finston - Artist Interview

by Emma Varano

Lya Finston is an interdisciplinary artist currently working at Bucknell University as a TA and Shop Technician in the Printmaking Department. She graduated from Oberlin College in 2018 with a BA in Studio Art and German Language. During a two year span in Chicago, she was a fellow at Spudnik Press, an Access Services Assistant at the Ryerson Burnham Library at the Art Institute of Chicago, and a publishing assistant at Hoofprint.

Her work uses the media of sculpture, animation, and various forms of printmaking to illustrate her interests in the supernatural, folk tales, and contributions to the secular Jewish community as well a sustained research into the diaspora of Jewish culture.

Blessing for the Home, 2021. Wood and linoleum relief.

You said in your artist statement that a major part of your practice is contributing to the already limited secular Jewish world. Would you be willing to explain what secular Judaism means to you?

Articulating that I’m interested in exploring the world of secular Judaism is an important distinction for me because the messages and motivations behind my practice aren’t religious ones, despite my religious imagery and subject matter. I also make this distinction in order to cast a wider net over my field of research, as Judaism is not only a faith, but an ethnicity as well.

This distinction has a lot to do with my personal relationship with Judaism. I was raised attending a Conservative synagogue and Hebrew school, but recognized shortly after my Bat Mitzvah that I didn’t believe in God. Nonetheless, my love and adherence to the tradition, community, and culture of Judaism has always remained the same. Despite my atheism, I’m still a practicing Jew. My identity simply shifted from faith-oriented to a more cultural experience.

Investigating Jewish themes in my work has been my way of entering into a research-based relationship with my religion. I want to know everything about Judaism – especially where Hasidic and Kabbalic mysticism and the diasporic folk culture of Eastern Europe is concerned. The more I read, the more I’m moved to use illustration as a means of further investigation and comprehension.

When I was somewhere around 8 and 10 years old, my orthodox Hebrew school teacher passed pencils and paper out to everyone in my class and prompted us to draw what God looked like. After only a few seconds, she announced, “That’s right: You can’t draw God because He doesn’t have an image!” and collected the materials back from us. I remember feeling particularly struck and conflicted by this exercise. I knew exactly what God looked like. He looked like Raffi from the children’s song CD cover, but with a longer beard, and I was excited to finally draw him.

Of course, I understand now where she was coming from. There are very strong rules about visual representation in Judaism that stem from biblical Hebrew law against idolatry. For this reason, I didn’t encounter a tremendous amount of Jewish artwork growing up until I started looking at secular Jewish folk art and historic Judaica, which is a large part of why I’ve become so interested in secular Jewish culture. I think this is also why I’m so drawn to Christian iconography. Such magical and exciting things happen when artists are prompted to depict the unseeable, unknowable, and yet all-important. I want to be part of this tradition of artistry despite, and largely because of my Hebrew school teacher’s wishes.

What keeps you charged as an artist? How do you deal with lulls in creativity?

Reading always helps. Also, going to art museums, openings, and conferences. When I graduated college, I got myself to keep making by signing up for print exchange portfolios and saying yes to every commission that came my way. I recognized pretty quickly that deadlines were important for me, and these were the best ways I found to implement them outside of academia. I also hit the ground running applying to lots of shows. The more I applied to things with the same old pieces of work, the more motivated I was to make new work.

Orphanim (Angel) 2021. Wire, relief prints on paper.  

Do you have any advice for those pursuing a BFA/BA in the arts?

The worst thing you can do is stop making work. Just keep making no matter what!

Also, don’t be afraid of your professors! Talk to them, go to their office hours, become their friends, and recognize them for the incredible artists and resources that they are. I feel so incredibly lucky for the relationship I have with my undergraduate printmaking professor. We texted, emailed, and talked on the phone throughout my entire graduate school application process. She saw every draft of everything I wrote and was so generous with her feedback despite being across the world in Estonia. During my time as a printmaking shop tech at Bucknell, I was constantly asking her advice about the way she runs her shop at Oberlin.

Despite being so smart and experienced, she’s also just a great friend to me and I love hanging out with her at conferences. Don’t sleep on the opportunity to build relationships like these.

What are some of the most valuable things you have learned from all of the different locations that you have lived and interacted with within the past two years?

This experience taught me that, particularly as an artist, it’s important not to get too tied down anywhere early on. It was really hard for me to think about leaving Chicago at first because I loved the friends and community I found there. Eventually, it was urban pandemic anxiety that pushed me out, which I’m honestly grateful for because it led me to my first paid job in printmaking since undergrad. It’s important to keep your options open when you’re young and to be willing to relocate if it means advancing your career and your practice. You also need to remember that moving doesn’t mean losing the friends you made. Building a wider geographical network of friendships means you’ll always have a buddy wherever you go :)

What did you take from your time in Chicago?

My time in Chicago taught me that continuing to make art in heavily resource-dependent media like printmaking is really hard outside of academia. BUT, it’s by no means impossible, and you grow and learn so fucking much from making it work. I’ve made the most incredible relationships with other printmakers and their spaces through this process. These relationships turned into the friendships and mentorships that allowed me to continue making prints outside of college, and that bolstered my graduate school application four years down the line. I’m certain that I wouldn’t have gotten into the programs I did without these references and experiences, and I certainly wouldn’t have been truly ready to pursue my MFA without this time off in the “real world.” My time in Chicago also made me feel confident that, even if I don’t go into academic teaching after completing my MFA, I can get another job and keep making my work on the other side.

And, lastly, any favorite cafes or spots you loved spending time at in Chicago?

FYI: I lived on the westside in Pilsen/Little Village, so this list is going to be pretty partial to that neck of the woods.

Cafe Jumping Bean: Great cafe on 18th st in Pilsen

Cafe Mustache: Probably my favorite coffee shop in Logan Square

Any Panaderia in Pilsen or Little Village: I went to Nuevo Leon on 18th st and La Central on Cermak the most. When you go in, you grab a metal tray and a pair of tongs and walk around the displays picking out yummy pastries to buy. A fun and delicious experience!

Any Michoacan ice cream place in Pilsen: You can find their paletas in most corner stores around the city. I recommend the spicy ones!

Athenian Candle Co: Cool candle shop in Greektown with all kinds of soap and incense that will bring love and money into your life.

Ghareeb Nawaz: Yummy Indian/Pakistani food in Greektown/UIC area

Jibaritos y Mas: Yummy Puerto Rican food in Logan Square. If you don’t know already, Jibarito is a kind of sandwich with fried plantains instead of bread – highly recommend!

Skylark: Best bar in Chicago! Cheap, divey, and hip with amazing tater tots. It’s cash only, so come prepared. Easily accessible via the Western bus.

Chicago Athletic Association: A cool historic (?) hotel across the street from the Art Institute that has an awesome bar on the second floor called the Game Room. The ambiance is so cool in there and always made me feel super fancy while sticking to my budget. Besides bocci ball, pool, and shuffleboard, they also have a great happy hour special that I used to indulge in far too frequently after work. You can get a cheese burger, a generous side of fries, a shot, and a random shot (usually a weird liqueur) for only $10! The Drawing Room (which you have to walk through to get to the Game Room) is a super beautiful space to work in, and you can even order oysters if you’re feeling extra fancy.

Taqueria Tayahua: My favorite Mexican restaurant. Near the intersection of Western & 24th St

Taqueria El Milagro: Amazing Mexican food on El Milagro’s own tortillas! If you’re buying tortilla chips or tortillas in the store, El Milagro is the way to go. I highly recommend going to their Taqueria on Blue Island in the winter time so you can get some Champurrado, which is a delicious kind of thick hot chocolate with masa in it.

Chile Toreado: Great Mexican place in Mckinley Park! I ordered the carne en su jugo when I went, which was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten lmao.

Huck Finn: A classic-style diner on Archer in Mckinley Park. Their claim to fame is giant donuts the size of your head (and bigger!). It’s super fun to go there with friends and split one.

Museum of Mexican Art

Intuit (Folk and Outsider Art Museum)

DePaul Art Museum

The Newberry Library

Matchbox Bar

Garfield Park Conservatory

Inga Bookshop

The Musicbox (movie theater on north side)

Gene Siskel Theater (pretty sure you’d get a discount!)

Chicago Cultural Center

Buddy Chicago

Fireside Bowl

Ryerson Library (where I worked! It’s inside the Art Institute – first left after the gift shop)

Promontory Point in Hyde Park

Hyde Park Art Center (they also have a cute cafe)

Manny’s Cafeteria and Deli: Jewish Deli!

The Empty Bottle

The Hideout

Schubas

Harold Washington Library

South Side Community Art Center

Events/Programming

Zine Mercado

Grabadolandia

Chicago Zine Fest

Zine Not Dead

Chicago Art Book Fair

Things to avoid:

Taste of Chicago (so crowded I wanted to die)

Being downtown/using CTA during Lollapalooza

Spoke & Bird (gentrifying coffee shop)

WNDR Museum (stupid instagram “art” organized by rich white people)

Slippery Slope (it can be fun if you have lots of friends there to protect you, but every time I’ve ever gone, I ended up in an uncomfortable situation with a creepy man)

If you’re ever traveling via CTA alone at night and you’re feeling a little nervous/unsafe, always take the train cars that are as close to the front of the train as possible, if not the closest. You’re less likely to be bothered up there since you’re super close to the conductor/CTA staff.

You can find Lya’s work on her Instagram account @thehottestdjinmiami and on her website at https://lfinston.wixsite.com/lyafinston
