New fic alert, first two chapters of the first part of my Falsettos Expanded project are up.

(I know this type of thing has been done to death but I'm having fun writing it so who cares.)

Forced my partner to watch Falsettos with me last night and about halfway through he said “Awe man I really like Whizzer, he’s too good for Marvin.”

It took all of my strength not to say something and ruin it for him.

I’m looking for beta readers (1-2) for a long form Falsettos project I’m working on. I don’t usually write fanfiction so I want to make sure I’m doing the characters justice and not flanderizing them. I currently have four chapters ready to look at (2,615 words in total). DM me if interested!

Whispers of a coming comfort

This is a piece that I absolutely speedran last night (started a 9ish and finished at 2am) and the idea had been rattling around in my head for about a month so I'm really happy I finally got to paint it

( also I know theres like. a little bit of disagreement on how Marvin dies, but regardless I know that Whizzer was with him in his last moments.)

Little things from the 1993 Falsettos that I love

Literally anything Chip Zein does

Bitching at the bed

The almost kisses are torture

Mavin introducing Jason to Whizzer

They're so fucking dramatic

These karate moves

More drama

I love that at the end of this one of them goes "MWAH!"

"It's queer Mr. Marvin..oops" and when Marvin says "What gives with you today?" (and basically all of Marvin at the psychiatrist)

Pinch

The way Michael Rupert sings "That's what pretty boys should do!"

I love Breaking Down in the revival but something about this staging just gets me

Honestly same Mendel

This little heel kick

Whatever the fuckl this is

More fantastic staging

Marvin throwing a tantrum

Stop I love them

I don't know what this choreography is but I love it

Get it Jason

"What was the name of that BITCH?"

"I wanna see the BALD SPOT!"

Cordelia braiding Charlotte's hair in Everything Will be Alright

The way Heather MacRae sings "Do you know how great my life is."

Boop

Marvin's little victory lap

"You people are so white."

"Look at your couch it's homo-baroque."

I wish this was in the revival

:,)

Marvin whispering "Stop, stop" during this scene always gets me

This little I love you gesture breaks my heart

He's so fucking over this

Guy's we're in a hospital keep it down, jesus

Marvin's soft "Oh, fuck." at the end of Something Bad is Happening (reprise)

When Whizzer leaves the stage for the final time he doesn't exit through the door and I don't know the symbolism in that just makes me sob

I probably overall prefer the pacing and staging of the revival, but the obc is so so fucking good. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

Random little whizzvin doodle from last night (aka 1 am)

Sometimes a family is a child, the child’s mom, the child’s three dads, and two women who don't get nearly enough stagetime

Some cool ocular pathology slides!

Image 1: The arrow is pointing to blastomyces dermatididis in a dog eye. Blasto is a fungi that is typically inhaled and invades the vasculature of animals, often ending up in the eye.

Image 2: A trematode in the lens of a fish eye! The arrow is pointing to its sucker. These apparently are transferred in utero and attach to the lens as the fish develops.

Some cat mouth bacteria, brought to you by the menace himself.

Some gram negative cocci under the microscope, probably Pasteurella multocida

Vet school is hard so here are some unhinged quotes that have gotten me through these first weeks:

“Basically, cats love pyramid schemes.”

“So what is Potomac Horse Fever?

Well, there’s this place called the Potomac river…”

“Bones are wet, get used to it.”

“I think horses should have more toes.”

Reflections from vet school orientation week

I am mentally and physically exhausted (they made us run around outside yesterday). I have met far too many people who’s names I have already forgotten. It feels like an entire book has been crammed into my head.

However, I have also met some really amazing people that I hope to call my friends and colleagues for the rest of my life. I’ve been presented with so many opportunities for my future. And while I’m incredibly anxious about starting classes and the imposter syndrome is strong, I’m also very excited to start this journey called vet school.

Image 1: Cancerous changes in cells from a mass on the toe. Near the center is an actively dividing cell, you can also see that the cells have nuclei of variable sizes, and a few multinucleate cells. We suspect it is a mast cell due to the findings in image 2.

Image 2: Mass on the left chest that has been growing and shrinking for the last 6 months. Microscopic findings show a field of granules consistent with mast cells, though no mast cells were seen. Not included in this image were cancerous changes of the cells.

Ultrasound of the spleen was inconclusive (mast cells can sometimes have splenic involvement). Owner is electing for surgical removal of both masses.

T-minus one month until I start classes 😳 I’m very nervous but also excited.
