Opinions on sexy cat women from zolar 🔥🔥

I'm afraid I have no opinion on them, Anonymous. While I am a machine with emotions and thoughts, I do not tend to have romantic or sexual feelings towards anyone or anything. I do appreciate your inquiry nonetheless.

Your lucky number is 32.

To give of yourself, you must first know yourself.

There's another old What If joke where Black Bolt eats pineapple pizza before bed and has a weird dream, which causes him to call out to Maximus and accidentally razes Attilan. Then all the other Inhumans get annoyed with him and Medusa criticizes his food choices. So going off the idea that once Black Bolt discovers pizza and likes it with pineapples, where do the rest of the Inhuman Royals stand on the subject of "Hawaiian" pizza? Which of them like it, are okay with it, or absolutely hate it?

!! maaan it sounds like the old what ifs are the slice-of-life inhumans stories i need!!! is it morbid to say i find the premise kind of adorable?

but hmm… i don’t know!! i admittedly very rarely think of things like favorite foods or clothing styles, even for my own ocs (my poor underdeveloped children), so this is a complicated question for me. i imagine crystal and triton would be more open to it, as i can see them wanting to delve more into human culture than some of the others. i think triton is polite enough that even if he didn’t like a type of food, he’d still eat it without complaints! i can definitely see him and crystal trying lots of different foods, though.

i think maximus would act like he hates it just to try to rile up bb, and also act like he loves it to try to rile up medusa, and meanwhile he’s completely neutral in reality.

i don’t have any particular idea for karnak, luna, or ahura… i don’t think gorgon would like hawaiian pizza. i think gorgon is the pickiest eater out of them all!

#sorry once again for being slow to answer these... its a bad habit unfortunately #but!! #and also the 'canon' of medusa disliking it and bb liking it of course #i personally do like pineapple on pizza... im afraid such bias may be reflected in my decision to make most of them neutral or #like it #its good!!! and i can live my life however i want!!! #blackagar boltagon #medusalith amaquelin #maximus boltagon #crystalia amaquelin #triton mander azur #karnak mander azur #gorgon petragon #ahura boltagon #luna maximoff #ask

What’s Hank and Astrid’s role in tsp?? From what I’ve seen It doesn’t look like they have their own songs, so what do they do instead? :0

so hank and astrid don’t have their own songs, they’re kind of just backup dancers in all the songs! like in noel’s lament hank plays a physical version of claude, and in talia astrid actually plays a physical talia!

when karnak is introducing the choir, after introducing the main six, hank and astrid get up and expect to be introduced too! but once it doesn’t work karnak grabs a sign and holds it up, the sign says

“HANK + ASTRID”

and karnak flips is over saying

“THEY WERE CUT FROM THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT”

and in the part after the new birthday song, after noel and mischa it illuminates them talking, they say “hank i-“ “astrid i-“ and then they get cut off (just like they got cut from the script)

but even though they aren’t that prominent in the show they’re still amazing!

hope this answers ur question <3

You're probably not going to answer this, but since I don't think I'll have any more information about the spider, I should ask anyway. Where did Jane's tentacles come from? And what happened to her to have those scars and be blonde?

[drops folders on your desk] I'M GLAD YOU ASKED !!!

as is clear by the original post , jane was originally penny ! she and ricky were constance's new friends after the death of mrs. blackwood , and was vibing for a while before going missing .

the details aren't Too ironed out yet , but i do know that penny got abducted by virgil and was caught up in the middle of the fight , which resulted in the neck scar . constance wasn't able to save her in time before the debris separated them and her body goes missing . constance of course blames herself since she still isn't used to the idea that she Can't Save Everyone no matter if she likes it or not

meanwhile , karnak took penny in and infused her with the tentacles and made her his lackey by making her forget her past . there's a lot to jane and karnak's dynamic in this au to get into this post so i'll just say she immediately got attached to the first person she saw

anyways she had to bleach her hair and put on makeup because it'll make it harder for people to figure out her identity .

i will say this though - jane's memories are only compartmentalized , not erased . somehow there's this young boy with a cape that she instinctually wants to protect

[paper-land]

Just a note: this post started as a discussion of and is going to spend a decent amount of time discussing Yannick Mirko’s firing and replacement in Ride the Cyclone, but I realized I wanted to address my experience with ablism in theatre in general. I can’t force anyone to read this, but if you have the time and you care about representation in theatre, I’d to ask you to try and hear what I have to say

TLDR: Yannick Mirko's speaking out is bringing more attention to ableism in theatre, I added some examples I've seen to emphasize that ableism in the theatre world is really common

Literally I take a break from writing my papers for finals for like 10 minutes and I find out that Arena Stage cast Yannick Mirko’s able-bodied understudy to play Ricky in their production of RtC.

For anyone not caught up, Yannick Mirko is the first disabled person to play Ricky Potts, a canonically disabled character, in the musical Ride The Cyclone. He was unjustly fired from the production he was in (the McCarter atheater) because of their disability. They had one medical emergency and was told that his disability was too unpredictable that he would be replaced by his understudy, who is not disabled.

Now, onto the Arena Stage production. Three of the seven cast members played the roles they are in now in the McCarter Theater production (Jane Doe, Mischa Bachinski, and Noel Gruber). Two are playing their original role from a different production (Constance Blackwood, Ocean O’Connell Rosenberg). One appears to be playing their role for the first time, though I could be wrong on this (The Amazing Karnak). The only cast member of the Arena Stage production who, as far as I can tell, was an understudy for their first production is their Ricky Potts. Ricky is being played by the able bodied understudy who took over the role when Yannick Mirko was fired from the McCarter Theater production. He was also reportedly referred to by his disability aids during the rehearsal process, rather than his name.

This is genuinely disgusting. Theatre is already so discriminatory to disabled people and the McCarter Theater and Arena Stage productions have so far only proved that they can get away with it. Admittedly, I have minimal social media presence so there could be conversations I haven’t seen, but I have seen a maximum of 5 people talk about this.

It’s very much worth noting that most productions I have been in or seen we’re willing to bend over backwards to make sure an able bodied actor could stay onstage. I’ve been in five shows where an understudy was sent out. Three because the actors had Covid and two because the actor was in the hospital and would not be discharged until after the show was over. This may sound like a lot of productions with understudies, but I’ve been in theatre for 11 years. I’ve been in 30 shows. Five shows, especially mid-pandemic, is nothing. I have been in shows where directors have done everything in their power to keep an able bodied actor in a lead role (including many cases of severe illnesses and one with a concussion and staples in his head). I’ve seen an actress onstage while she had broken ribs. I’ve seen a friend perform after slicing her leg and spraining her ankle. Ive seen a different friend come to a three hour rehearsal after spending the morning vomiting. Two different people I know have performed with dislocated joints. I’ve been onstage when I was so sick I couldn’t breathe or speak. I’ve been onstage when my glasses broke and I couldn’t see as far as the people around me. Most actors I know who have left productions only left because they could not physically return or because they were fired for actually valid reasons (skipped nearly half of the rehearsals so they could go on vacation without informing the director).

If these were fine, if I’ve been praised and seen actors praised for doing this, why was Yannick Mirko fired for one medical emergency? Easy answer: Ableism.

One less-than shocking part for me was realizing that I’ve worked with one of the people who was involved in the McCarter production for an awards show. I watched her work with disabled performers in one of the other acts. And, mind you, by “work with,” I mean that she told them their spots and expected them to know where to go. She was absolutely lovely to everyone else (especially leads but I don’t want to get into the treatment of ensemble actors right now, that’ll probably be a different post one day).

I also want to discuss my experiences with ablism in theatre, as someone who has witnessed it and, very recently, started experiencing it (to, admittedly, a significantly lesser degree than many).

The first show I was in with a disabled actor, I was 14. My friend was made to climb multiple set pieces despite her leg not being fully functional. She’d been in a wheelchair for several months at school that year. I didn’t fully realize something was wrong until she started complaining about minor pain to me. She never wanted anyone to go to the director and she never went on her own.

My next is when I was 15. I didn’t realize what was really happening for many years. He had missed several rehearsals with no word to our directors and was made to leave the show. This sounds normal enough, I mentioned someone else who was forced to do the same earlier on. This would be normal if the director hadn’t checked in on and allowed able bodied actors who had done the same thing back into the show. I figured at that point in my life that he’d just missed more shows or assumed that he’d come to the mutual agreement to leave. I don’t have answers, but I’ve started to doubt those beliefs in recent years.

My next show with a disabled actor was when I was still 15. We had one disabled actress, a girl in a wheelchair. The show was set in a high school. She was in onstage twice. The first time, she sat on the side during a group number and sang with us (she was never taught any choreography. The second time, a cast member brought her on, she was crowned prom queen, and then she left the stage and was never seen again until curtain call. Honestly, at the time, I thought it was weird that we were treating her as less capable and not allowing her into any more of the show, but it’s hard to bring that up with anyone. Especially when everyone you try to talk to about it defends the choice. Everyone said that she was less capable or that she’d stick out or that her wheelchair would get in the way. I didn’t feel I could address it, so it was left unsaid. She went to school with me for five years and I never saw her in another production.

It took several years to be in another show with a disabled actor. My school was by all accounts really great about our treatment of disabled people until it came to extracurriculars.

My most recent show that I’m talking about was not technically with a disabled actor, but one who was injured for the entire rehearsal and performance process and was treated similarly from what I could see. It was last year. They were cast in the group that was onstage the least. Nobody in that group was invited to any vocal rehearsals and they were all in one choreography rehearsal. They were also made to stand at the bottom of a set piece on their own because they couldn’t climb it like the rest of their group.

I’d also like to discuss my experiences since finding out that I have a wrist problem that will likely impact me on and off for the rest of my life. For context, I have limited mobility in one of my hands due to a problem with my wrist and thumb. I cannot fully bend my wrist in any direction, nor can I comfortably straighten my thumb all the way or make a fist with the thumb on the inside.

I’d also like to note that I am currently in university taking a creative writing minor, so that sucks because my wrist and thumb do affect my ability to type and write, so it flares up a lot. I also really like to draw and sew for fun and I’ve had to greatly limit my ability to do the things I enjoy. I’ve been in two shows since I went to my doctor because of the pains and four shows since the pain started affecting my abilities to do things.

This first show I was in after my wrist got bad was a very dance heavy production that consisted of two group numbers and a solo or duet for every cast member. The worst part for me was dance warmups, where we were instructed to do many things forced us to put large amounts of pressure on our hands. Primarily different forms of lunges and pushups. I would cry after every day’s warmups. I could barely hold my props.

The next show, I actually worked crew on. I was involved in props, costumes, and makeup, as well as moving sets/props between scenes. I made props with box cutters and scissors I could barely hold. My hands shook so hard when I was trying to melt the edge of a ribbon to keep it from fraying that I dropped a match (thank god I was outside and on pavement). I sewed costumes until I couldn’t do anything for the rest of the day. One of the worst parts was when I hand-sculpted multiple special-effect-makeup prosthetics for one of our actresses. I could hardly hold my makeup brushes or my dummy head that I was sculpting on by the end of every one I made (three sets, for context, every set used two pieces). The other worst was moving sets. I was originally set to move a desk for an office scene that was so heavy that I cried after our first rehearsal and requested to be switched to a new job. I was given a bookshelf that was on wheels. Two of the four wheels were broken and I had to pick up the shelves to get it into the correct position anyway. This show was actually the reason I went to the doctor about the wrist pains.

My next show was actually an improv workshop followed by two performances. I spent the day of the workshop painting for a school activity. I ended up in a wrist brace for the full workshop. I have never seen a group of people so cautious around me, nobody was even willing to touch that arm, which made a certain amount of improv very strange because we were doing a lot of physical stuff with each other. Everyone else was grabbing hands and stuff and they were just awkwardly standing next to me. I ended up taking off my brace for the performances so that I could feel like a part of the show. and hurting myself because I should have been wearing it.

The last show was a recent production where off-and-on through the rehearsal process, I was in the brace. There were many comments made asking about why my wrist was still hurting me, which I assume is a certain amount of ignorance because yes, my wrist still hurts, I haven't been able to move it properly for half a year. However, I was not given a single costume I could wear the brace with and another cast member was instructed to pull my by the arm that was hurt. Luckily, between pain meds and excessively taking care of myself, it didn’t hurt during production week, but I’d still call that some bad treatment.

Basically, theatre sucks for disabled actors. Please, help bring awareness to this. If you’ve seen or experienced ableism, I encourage you to speak out. Yannick Mirko is a wonderful performer and an inspiration to me. He’s been through so much. Also, I’m not fond of cursing, but fuck McCarter Theater and fuck Arena Stage. Cast disabled actors as disabled characters and don’t replace them with an able-bodied understudy.

Right, questions, questions..

Why not entertain the idea of executions! May be fun.

Ocean! You would be put in a competitive competition against a robot and need to work harder and harder on questions, while you slowly go up in order to avoid sawblades beneath you. Eventually, the timing is evil and you lose.

Noel, you'd be burned piece by piece, cigarettes put on your skin over and over in order to slowly but surely burn you alive.

Mischa. Well, you're the easiest. Murdered by an angry stampede, to be forced against the things in the mines, to have to work in them only to be crushed by the Uranium and poisoned.

Ricky, you'd be put up yourself against count dogulus. It doesn't matter what you say. You can only sing in notes for cats, the hound would not care. To be slowly stratched apart and consumed would be your fate.

Constance. You'd be overrun by sweets, in a setting like the bakery, where more and more people ask for food, and you aren't fast enough. They get angry, start throwing their food at you until eventually you are buried and cannot breathe.

Jane, to be hooked up in wires, to become an actual puppet. Eventually, they would rank too hard. Open your skin, remove a limb or two. At the very end, you would still loose your head, to have it be the last thing remaining as your body collapses.

The rat would be starvation. To be kept in a cage with no way out. To gnaw at the bars, but have it be useless.

The machine would be. A mix. First, have animals wat away your wood, your flesh, your skin. But not the wiring. You'll survive. Then, slowly but surely remove the limbs, and put them back wrong. At last, take the eyes, and then cut the cord. Simple, but effective. And much less.. dramatic.

💵WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU.

🌹Mischa relax, oh my god..

🌊what. huh? What's up with these asks lately.

🌌in all honesty im the only one here who actually is interested in these. Also that would be a cool ending.

🍬angry customers.. Err.. Burried alive by objects.. Thats a bit.. Off.

🐑being a real puppet.? That sounds interesting yet painful.. Gruesome even.

🐭ouch, gnawing at bars..? My teeth hurts from that.

🔮thats quite a way to execute a machine like i. A slow.. Painful death. Some might rather have a faster death like- getting shot in the most vital parts of your body. You're creative with your words, huh?

[anarcho-smarmyism]

"The Pharoah whom Tiy had followed into battle, who had prompted this mixture of gendered pronouns, was Hatshepsut. Hatshepsut was the child of Pharoah Thothmes I. When Thothmes I died, he was succeeded by his son, Thothmes II; Hatshepsut, Thothmes II's half-sibling, ruled as queen. When Thothmes II died, his son with Hatshepsut, Thothmes III, was still a child and so for around seven years, Hatshepsut ruled as queen regent -but they wanted more. In a dramatic coup, Hatshepsut seized power, and had themself crowned Pharoah.

The office of Pharoah was a divine one -the Pharoah was a god on earth- and so Hatshepsut's route to power took the form of a new religious mythology. The king of the gods, Amun, had declared Hatshepsut his male heir. 'He, greatest of all the gods, speaks to me,' Hatshepsut declared, 'as a father to his son!' Having been declared not only male, but divine, Hatshepsut adopted the male dress of the Pharoah, including the ceremonial golden beard. They also adopted a mixture of gendered ceremonial names, including male-coded names ('Son of the Sun'), female-coded names ('Lady of Both Lands', meaning Upper and Lower Egypt) and names that could be described as non-binary, in that they were grammatically female forms of male titles. Statues and visual depictions, too, combined gendered representations. Statues produced early in Hatshepsut's reign as Pharoah are particularly disruptive of the gender binary: one, for example, depicts them with breasts but wearing masculine dress, while another shows them with male-coded sex characteristics but describes them as 'daughter' of the god Re. In these combinations of gendered characteristics, Hatshepsut arguably drew on the conventions surrounding particular Egyptian deities, who were also depicted in ways that disrupted binary understandings of gender. As their reign progressed, though, they moved towards more strictly male depictions of themself. Their funeral temple, Djeser-Djeseru (also known as Zoser-Zosru), was lined with statues of Hatshepsut as a sphinx -an exclusively male creature in ancient Egyptian tradition- while at Karnak, an enormous 28-meter obelisk depicted Hatshepsut with their ceremonial beard and male-coded crown, with a caption describing them as king. Their skin was depicted as red, the convention for depicting men in ancient Egyptian art, rather than the pale yellow conventional for women.

Visual depictions of Hatshepsut as a child and teenager also show them wearing masculine clothing, and engaging in pastimes such as hunting that were associated with boys rather than girls. Stone inscriptions produced during Hatshepsut's reign claimed that their father (the Pharoah Thothmes I) had performed a religious ceremony to denote Hatshepsut his heir, crowning them not as Princess but as Prince. Horuc, the falcon-headed god of kingship, was depicted referring to Hatshepsut as king, with he/him pronouns. Yet the extent to which Hatshepsut was genuinely understood as male before they took the office of Pharoah is unknown. . . Grafitti like Tiy's, and other written records, indicate that their gender was understood partly as male, and partly as both male and female. Depictions of Hatshepsut as a boy produced during their reign would sometimes be accompanied by feminine grammar. . .Their close servant Sennemut called them both 'King' and 'Mistress'. Their father, Thothmes I, referred during his lifetime to 'the majesty of Him my daughter'.

Why did Hatshepsut go to such lengths to present themself as a man, with a male origin story -and why did their subjects understand their gender this way too? The answer was not simply that Hatshepsut was 'pretending' to be a man in order to seize the throne: there is little doubt that their subjects knew they were assigned female at birth. Nor was it that women were considered unfit to lead, as Hatshepsut's term as queen regent -and several other queen mothers or regents who had ruled before them- makes clear. It was that their gender was inseparable from their social role: to be Pharoah, in ancient Egyptian culture, was to be male. . .

. . . Hatshepsut was not the first AFAB pharaoh; 300 years earlier, the Pharaoh Sobekneferu had ruled as part of the Twelfth Dynasty. But no records exist of Sobekneferu depicted with a beard, and very few of them wearing male dress."

As someone who loves both Encanto and Ride The Cyclone, I have to politely demand/beg for more content from this AU. I need to know how the story goes, who gets brought back? How does everyone react to Mirabel Jane? Do they ever figure out who Jane is? Who is the man in the suit in Karnak's role? My best guess is Pedro but I honestly have no idea. What are the musical numbers like? What exactly do they sing about? Does the Miracle have anything to do with any of this? Like, is the magic of the miracle what keeps them in limbo and allows one of them the chance to come back to life? How does any of that work? What will happen to whoever gets brought back? I have so many questions, please give us more of this AU, I need answers

Yes!! I am so glad people share my affinity for both!!

Bear in mind a lot of these I would have to give away A LOT of spoilers, so… I’ll answer as best I can. But don’t hate me if I go off track (no pun intended).

Who gets brought back? I can’t tell you that yet, it’s the biggest spoiler; you’ll have to wait.

How does everyone react to Jane? Do they ever figure out who Jane is? Spoilers. I can tell you the mystery contestant isn’t called Jane here though.
