steve probably spent a lot of time bedridden or in hospital, and playing cards have always been cheap. i bet he knows how to count cards, got invited to play cards with the other candidates at camp lehigh on their first night, sharked the game, and never got asked to play again.

Also offers up the possibility of Steve and Bucky playing as a team, during the war, with Bucky card-counting and secretly signalling, while Steve (the guy with the USO money) pulls the big dumb blonde act, ('oh look fellas, my bet came through! what're the odds!') with his big blue eyes all innocent, every time he strikes it rich.

Takes the Howlies ages to catch on (and they can still never work out how exactly Sarge is signalling!)

Steve's photographic memory would probably come in super useful for this too...

Also: imagine Bucky trying to keep bedridden Steve entertained by learning...😬...magic card tricks. Only half works because he's so appallingly bad at it that Steve ends up laughing himself into a coughing fit.

I think metta and chara wouldn’t get along because they’re different types of dramatic. Mettaton is tv personality, chara is more a shakespearean theater nerd.

Yeah exactly! You put it into words lol, when I wrote the little note about him being too dramatic I was like. Well Chara's really dramatic too, but in a different way.

#ask #alien-cafe #chara's like. existentially/morally dramatic idk. Shakespearean theater nerd is a good descriptor

I used to feel like very Eh on Leon but your art has made him (and Sonia and Raihan tbh) some of my favorite Pokémon characters of all time, I love him/them now, so thank you for that :)

haha thank you! I'm glad to be the gateway for some folks. I really love them so fuckin much

#ask #bakuspeech #want to restate my firm belief that swsh writing is not bad the way people think its bad. it just doesnt tell u things outright #which is like. correct! to me! why would u know anything abt people you have to be nosy to know abt people #like the majority of how I write leon (and sonia and raihan) is directly from canon u just have to be nosy #the rest of it I feel like is clean enough deduction tho like when the champion quits and immediately takes over the battle tower with glee #and changes into That outfit. I would be insane if I don't hc him as a theater nerd #lmao okay Im done being antagonistic when I love something I just can't really imagine people not loving it also #thats all thank u for indulging me. baku out (onto answering the next asks)

i think it’s so nice that marie included adam in her little play. i haven’t seen the episode in a hot min so i cant remember if she really believes that sam and dean are sam and dean but it’s really funny to think about her accepting and processing that her favorite characters are actually real people and then remembering them being confused about adam in her play. who’s that, they asked, and she’s like damn! he wasn’t even ignored because the series ended! he was Forgotten forgotten!! au in which marie and some teenagers stage a jailbreak because if sam and dean won’t save their brother, someone has to.

#i very desperately need to be reading for class but instead i am thinking of fan fiction. for some reason. #well because it’s an adam mention and i do hold onto those #in her second half. was adam involved w the aliens. i need to know! #not serious about the au i just think it’s soo funny that they’re trying to prove that the books were written about Them #and they still ask. who’s that. #and she has to be the one to explain that it’s their brother they abandoned to gay marry an archangel in hell #i dont think she believes them #maybe i am serious about the au! #if she accepts that they’re Real People and that maybe dean’s story wasn’t just bad fan fiction shes like i heard NO mention of adam. #THEY FORGOT HIM. and she’s a samgirl so mmaybe she has that soft spot for adam too bc mutual cage trauma or whatever #these theater nerds get into The Supernatural and through the power of friendship and chuck’s negligence they scoop adam and michael #who are like HELLO??? WHAT???? #adam especially #imagine. ur dead ur alive! ur possessed. ur in hell. ur out of hell! some teenage girls saved you? YOURE IN A BOOK?? #i dont think ive seen enough discussions about the spn books and adam finding out about them post cage #mine #in the cage like. it’s my father! it’s my brothers! it’s… a teenage girl?

Sometimes I imagine Mac and Bai He putting on a little show for the two little monkeys (Rumble and Savage). Pdt: It would be fun to imagine that at some point Macaque taught the girl theater.

AWWW, that's adorableee, it's like a family bonding timeee.

Macaque def taught Bai He theater at some point, but it was after he saw how she tried to mimic him in how she expressed herself and how she talks lmao, like- she observed him when they spend their time together (the girl got her own family, I think she just hangs out with Mac when she has time) and she started to talk and do things dramatically like him. He saw that and was like "screw it, I can make it better, watch and learn, kid."

Bonus point to Macaque showing her his favorite theater (like- story, musicals, and stuff like that). I'm not sure what he would be into tho XD

For the tag, it was Vil Schonheit, the Pomefiore dormhead. He was a well known actor, model, and influencer. A real genius in his work, and deeply passionate at it. Wish with all of his heart to play the hero for once and be on stage till the very end. Hence why he want to be the fairest one of all.

Also, I can see Shuichi to be a really great antagonist, and many of his fans thought that he will also surprised them by being the secret mastermind or something for dr3. But turns out he stay as the protagonist, and a good one too!

Also, what if Kokichi, despite being just a hobbyist actor, actually tend to get the role of either the hero or the sidekick. Like, he often play the role of the good and kind guy. So it was a surprise when he play the role of the antagonist.

(okay yeah that tracks for Vil.)

Shuichi's actor being someone who gets typecasted as villians is absolutly my desire for badboy Shu manifesting in a funky way in this au. also as much as i lile the idea of him hoping for a mastermind reveal thing, he'd know good an well he wouldn't get it cause soon after getting his role he'd recive the full script. at best he'd have a hope like that for all of an hour or so. fans can guess all they want tho

as of Kokichi's actor, i imagine because doing film acting is not easy to get your foot into the door of- especially as a hobby- he's more of a stage actor for volunteer theaters. because of this while i think it'd be funny if he got type casted as a good guy alot, theater casting doesn't operate the same way as film and he'd more likely be either trying to score any lead role and failing, or vibes playing minor characters but gets picked for double casting in situations where a quick costume change is needed cause of how quick he is on his feet.

listen, say what you will about Phantom of the Opera being overwrought and INCREDIBLY of its time, there is no musical opening that goes harder than when the chandelier lights up, the chandelier rises while the overture plays, and you go back in time

🔥 Azula???

Uh…I’d wager that most of my opinions about her are unpopular, but the one that comes to mind is that I don’t think she actually craves power other than as a form of success. It bothers me when people call her power hungry because I think she needs to be successful, she needs to be perfect, and she needs to keep herself safe. Those to me are her three core values, not ruling over others. This isn’t to say that wanting power and control is inherently bad (it can be good in the right person) I just don’t think it’s her.

That thing when lyrics are blasting in your head and you can't get them out so you end up belting out

"Can anyone fix my broken feelings?"

normally that would be that of a broken hearted love song, totally ordinary, nothing your Kirlia should be worried about

But then the next line is

"I'VE LOST THE WILL TO LIVE BUT I'M AFRAID OF DYING

I'M ON MY OWN ON THIS COLD, EMPTY NIGHT

AND STILL HERE BREATHING"

and before i can get the next line out im being jumped by the Alcremie i picked up after her old trainer died who's scared i'm gonna die too and while it is nice to pat Miumiu, i can't get the song out my head

ye

Yeah I get that

There's been a couple of times where my trainers or Hop or whoever catches me reciting old poetry or lines from plays and give me the oddest looks.

C'mon man let me recite Hamlet act 1 scene 5 lines 15-28 in peace >:/

🎫 Altitude

He is one of the Top 50 Vosian actors and as such can be considered a celebrity. His most well-known performances are a few notable lead roles in dramas but especially that of imposing military leaders in history plays which have earned him his stage name, Berserker.

Backstage, Altitude is just as heroic and engaging as most of the characters he plays with the only difference being that he doesn't really know how to separate reality from fiction. He will jump off a roof to save someone and only then remember that his alt mode kibble has been safely tucked away under the costume he always wears to public events. He will absolutely destroy the costume if the need arises but his costume designer is not happy about it.

Oh and it took one awkward conversation with Ironwing for him to decide that this is the person he wants to be best friends with.

This is kind of a legendary story that everyone says happened at their production of west side story…

It’s the last scene of the show, everything is happening as normal … but in the final scene, Chino’s prop gun is broken and doesn’t go off. In a situation like this, most actors would just pretend to shoot it anyway, make a gunshot noise etc. – but not this Chino, who has a very unique way of thinking.

Instead of doing any of that, he takes off his boot, yells at the top of his lungs “POISON BOOT!!!” and lobs his boot right at Tony’s head.

Tony, seeing no other option, falls down dead from the poison boot. Then poor Maria has to do her “how many bullets are left in this gun Chino?” monologue… but she has no gun and Tony has been poisoned by a boot instead. So instead, she has to pick up the boot and wave it around and then point it at herself, asking “how much poison is left in this boot Chino? Enough for you? Enough for you? And will there be enough left for me??”

You know, I really didn’t know where you were gonna go with your story since you asked if I wanted to hear a funny story and asked if I had seen West Side Story.

But this really is hilarious. Like not at all what I was expecting, but I love it.

So! I've been reading up on the PJSK chars and god I love the WxS boys so much... (and the girls I guess, Emu being basically Kokoro and a friend being really into Nene) - II

WxS has some pretty great dynamics overall! Given all the polls I've seen I think it's safe to say they're tumblr's favorite group, lol. I'm more of a L/n fan myself!

I was legit randomly thinking about SMASH a few days ago 'cause one of the songs got stuck in my head for some reason. So to see someone talking about SMASH on my dash? Super weird (and amazing)

Yooo. Yeah, musical theater is one of the only mediums of media I can let in right now, ‘cuz it’s always been my happy place (and everything is neat and contained), so my wife and I have been going down the YouTube rabbit hole of compilations lately. Yesterday reminded me that show even existed, cuz I guess they did a staged version at some point? Never mad about Megan Hilty singing at me.

#ask #2009-2013 was a hell of a time for musical theater nerds and television and I ate that shit up
